Chapter 197 Wen Ling sleeps for half a month
People on the other side of Beishan only felt the ground shaking suddenly.
The professional officials of the Ministry of Industry keenly felt that something was wrong and that the mountain was about to collapse.
They immediately led the imperial guards down the mountain and retreated.
Originally they all thought they might be finished. The mountain had begun to collapse. No matter how fast they retreated, how fast could they retreat? They would definitely be buried halfway before they could retreat.
Unexpectedly, at the critical moment, the net that Wen Ling had set up at the entrance of the cave played a big role. It intercepted the first and most urgent wave of falling rocks and bought them time to go down the mountain.
When they got down the mountain, they saw that the entire North Mountain was disintegrating, with smoke and dust billowing from the mountain, as if it was the end of the world.
But the strange thing is that in the end these fallen rocks were fixed within a certain range at the foot of the mountain.
Although they were all carrying the power of the ancient times, they just couldn't roll out, as if they were covered by an invisible net.
The officials of the Ministry of Works and the imperial guards were in danger several times, but they all managed to survive safely.
Mr. Li was so frightened that his legs were shaking. He could only stand with the help of the imperial guards beside him. Even his voice was shaking: "What...what is going on? Why did the North Mountain suddenly collapse?"
The villagers in the nearby villages were so frightened by the loud noise that they all rushed out. When they came out, they saw that the majestic North Mountain was collapsing.
They were so scared that they didn't know what to do. It was not until an eunuch on horseback came running over and told them to retreat to a safe place that they realized they had to escape.
People in the capital also heard the loud muffled noise coming from Beishan and looked in the direction of Beishan.
The people were very uneasy and kept speculating what had happened. Some even said there might be an earthquake.
Fortunately, the noise did not last long, only about a quarter of an hour, and the world returned to peace again, as if nothing had happened.
The emperor also heard the noise in the palace. He immediately walked out of the hall and asked the eunuchs around him in a deep voice: "What happened?!"
The eunuchs immediately ran out to ask, and soon came back to report: "Your Majesty, it seems...it seems that the North Mountain has collapsed!"
"What?!" The emperor was shocked: "This... this Wen Ling is still in Beishan checking the cave. What should we do?!"
The emperor was about to leave the palace to check on Beishan. He asked the eunuchs to prepare the horses. This time, no matter what the eunuchs said, he would not listen at all. He had to go and check on Wen Ling's safety!
Moreover, at this moment, Gu Chenran’s gloomy face automatically popped up in the emperor’s mind.
He didn't dare to imagine what would happen to Gu Chenran if Wen Ling really had an accident.
He went on a business trip and when he came back his wife was sent out by his emperor and she was in trouble.
The emperor felt guilty and afraid. Once Gu Chenran knew about this, would he directly dethrone him?
He was still very wary of his son who was so smart and almost a demon!
The emperor brought only a few imperial guards with him and rode away on horseback at full speed towards the North Mountain.
Unexpectedly, on the main road out of the city, they collided head-on with Gu Chenran's returning carriage.
On the way back, Gu Chenran felt his heart beating very fast and was very nervous. He always felt that something was going to happen today.
As a result, when he just entered the city, he heard the sound of collapse on the north mountain.
He felt even more uneasy, and he was anxious to go home and tell Wen Ling about the collapse of the North Mountain. Why did a mountain suddenly collapse? Was it related to the Lord of the World?
Unexpectedly, I ran into the emperor riding a horse on the main road.
Gu Chenran immediately got out of the carriage, stopped the emperor and asked, "Father, where are you going?"
It was very unusual that the emperor left the palace without even changing his clothes.
The emperor didn't expect to meet Gu Chenran by chance. He really felt that he was extremely unlucky today.
But facing Gu Chenran's questioning, he didn't want to lie to him, so he could only tell him that Wen Ling was still in Beishan.
Sure enough, Gu Chenran's face darkened in an instant, and the emperor felt his heart pounding when he saw it.
Sure enough, this is the boy’s true appearance. His previous gentle and tolerant appearance was all pretended!
Gu Chenran got off the carriage, snatched a horse from a guard, and galloped towards Beishan.
As a result, when they were almost reaching Beishan, they met Qing Ruxu, who was holding Wen Ling in his arms and riding a horse towards the city.
Gu Chenran controlled the horse and braked suddenly to block Qing Ruxu's way.
He jumped off his horse and snatched Wen Ling, who was in Qing Ruxu's arms, and held her sideways.
He looked at Qing Ruxu again, his eyes as gloomy as a cold pond: "What on earth happened? What happened to A Ling?!"
Qing Ruxu was very unhappy with Gu Chenran. Now that Wen Ling was in a coma, he didn't have a good face towards Gu Chenran either.
But she still answered Gu Chenran's question truthfully: "Master Ling went to the cave behind the stone wall to check the situation, and the cave collapsed. She took me out and used her spiritual power to form a seal to prevent the mountain from collapsing. She fainted due to exhaustion."
Gu Chenran looked at Qing Ruxu deeply. He didn't say anything, but his eyes were full of warning. Then he turned around, hugged Wen Ling, and rode towards the capital.
Don’t think he didn’t see it, this damn eunuch had special feelings for Wen Ling!
Especially a dead eunuch who looks so handsome!
Qing Ruxu looked down at his empty arms, and his empty hands slowly tightened.
He didn't need Gu Chenran's warning, because he actually always knew that he was not worthy.
Wen Ling is the pure white cloud in the sky, and he is the grass that has avoided the fate of withering after receiving a little blessing.
There is such a huge difference between us, how can I possibly expect anything else?
But if Gu Chenran dares not to cherish Wen Ling, he can also be a grass instead of a small grass, he can be the lightning that protects the clouds.
When Qing Ruxu looked up again, his eyes had regained their calmness and no one could tell what he was thinking.
He rode his horse towards the palace. Wen Ling had already fallen asleep. He was the only one who knew what had happened throughout the whole process, and he had to tell the emperor about it.
We must also let the world know what Wen Ling did to save the lives of thousands of people around Beishan.
On the way, the emperor met Gu Chenran who was rushing back with Wen Ling. Seeing that Wen Ling was just unconscious, he breathed a sigh of relief.
Fortunately, Wen Ling was not seriously injured, otherwise he would not know how to face Gu Chenran.
Since Wen Ling is fine, the situation in Beishan is still quite dangerous. The emperor regained his senses and calmed down. He decided to return to the palace first and make further plans.
As a result, not long after he walked back, he met Qing Ruxu who was returning from outside the city right after him.
Qing Ruxu was riding a horse, his whole body was covered with mud, his mouth was cracked by the wind, and he looked very embarrassed.
He saw the emperor from a distance and rode after him, shouting, "Your Majesty, Your Majesty--!!"
When the emperor heard the familiar voice, he stopped and looked back, only to see Qing Ruxu, who was in a dishevel.
Before the imperial guards could stop him, Qing Ruxu fainted and fell off his horse.
After he fell to the ground, he crawled directly to the emperor and knelt down to pay his respects: "Your Majesty, I almost didn't get to see you this time!"
The emperor then remembered that Qing Ruxu had gone to the back mountain with Wen Ling.
The emperor hurriedly asked: "What happened to Beishan? Why did it suddenly collapse?"
Qing Ruxu knew that now was a great opportunity to help Wen Ling gain credit, as people had already started to gather around to watch.
So Qing Ruxu wiped her tears and recounted in a very infectious and inspiring way what had happened in the Beishan cave in a vivid and colorful manner.
Qing Ruxu is very eloquent, and listening to him makes people feel as if they are there.
"The cave in the North Mountain is full of wooden statues of the evil god who rules the world, and there is also a mural that claims he is the savior god. He is just talking bullshit.
I don't know if Master Ling and his servants knew too much and were not fooled by him, so he got angry and collapsed the entire cave, hoping to crush us all to death inside.
How can a person like him who doesn't take the lives of the villagers in Beishanzhou seriously be a god who saves people? ”
When the emperor and the people watching around heard this, they all agreed with it.
Yes, there are more than a thousand people living around Beishan. These villagers are so innocent, why should they suffer such an unexpected disaster and lose their lives without any explanation?
Qing Ruxu paused here, until he was sure that everyone's emotions had been aroused by him.
He slapped his thigh and continued loudly: "Master Ling obviously took me to escape at that time, but she couldn't bear to see the villagers around Beishan get into trouble. She used her own ability to seal Beishan and control all the rocks within the magic circle.
This ensures that all villagers in the villages around Beishan are safe and sound!
However, Master Ling fainted due to exhaustion from using too much spiritual energy. We don’t know her condition or when she will wake up! ”
“Hiss——” Even the emperor took a breath: “It turns out that the collapse of Beishan Mountain suddenly stopped because Wen Ling single-handedly stopped the collapse of the sky and the earth…”
The people around also heard it.
Beishan is very close to the capital city. If something happens at this distance, with such a degree of collapse, it would be impossible for the capital city to remain safe and sound.
So Wen Ling not only saved the people around Beishan, but also saved the entire capital city.
Many people have even started running towards the Prince Chen's Mansion: "Master Ling has suffered so much, otherwise we would not be able to escape today. I want to kowtow to Master Ling, and hope that her spiritual power can be restored soon!"
"Yes, yes, yes, I want to kowtow to Master Ling too! My family used to live in a slum, and we were almost starving to death. It was only because of Master Ling's porridge that we had food to eat in difficult times, and we had the energy to find a new job and get through the hard times. Now Master Ling has saved our lives again, and we all have to thank her!"
"Let's go together and pray to God to wake Master Ling up. She is the living Bodhisattva who saves the world from suffering!"
Then, when Wen Ling was comatose, groups of people knelt outside Prince Chen's mansion, all of them came to kowtow to Wen Ling, to thank her and hope that she would get better soon.
Villagers from the villages around Beishan spontaneously killed chickens and pigs and sent them to the Wanshiwu with music and dance to express their gratitude.
Wen Ling has established a solid reputation in the capital, and someone is almost going to erect a monument to immortality for Wen Ling.
Wen Ling didn’t know about this, and Gu Chenran didn’t care about the false reputation in the outside world. He only cared about Wen Ling.
This time, it seems that Wen Ling has really used up too much spiritual power. When the blue bar is used up, the health bar will be deducted.
In order to make the magic circle strong and stop the falling rocks, Wen Ling used up all his spiritual power and even used up the essence of his blood to keep it standing.
It was precisely because of this that his vitality and body were damaged that he was in a coma for more than half a month.
Even though Gu Chenran drew spirit-gathering talismans all over the room and pasted them all over, trying his best to gather spiritual energy, Wen Ling still fell into a coma every day.
If Wen Ling's body could not swallow water and food independently every day, Gu Chenran would really have to feed her ginseng soup made from thousand-year-old ginseng.
Half a month later, it is time for the goddess of the Moon Kingdom to visit.
Because Wen Ling stopped the collapse of Beishan Mountain and was in a coma, the attention of the people in the capital had long since shifted from the visit of the Moon Kingdom Goddess to the capital to Wen Ling.
The question that the people of the capital city ask every day now is, has Master Ling of Prince Chen’s Mansion woken up?
In this atmosphere, half a month passed, and the Moon Goddess had arrived in the capital without anyone noticing.
That morning, officials from the Ministry of Rites set up the ceremonial guard at the gate of the capital, waiting for the arrival of the Yue Kingdom delegation.
Dayong has been a country of etiquette since ancient times. Yue Kingdom is considered an ally, so it is natural to treat the visit of the allied delegation with courtesy.
The Moon Kingdom delegation included not only the goddess who was widely talked about in the capital, but also the eldest prince of the Moon Kingdom and two ambassadors from the Moon Kingdom who were proficient in the languages of the two countries.
In fact, for the emperor and his men, the most important person has never been the goddess, but the eldest prince.
I heard that this eldest prince was the most outstanding and most excellent among the 19 sons of the Khan of Yue Kingdom, and he was also the one who led his mother's tribe to victory in their previous civil war.
The Khan of Yue Kingdom is old, and it is estimated that the next Khan will be this prince.
The eldest prince must have a lot to discuss with the emperor and the court during this trip, and no one knows what the eldest prince’s attitude towards the Dayong Kingdom is.
The clothing of the Yue people is obviously different from that of the Dayong people. Their colors are more dazzling, and they prefer to use large gemstones as decoration. They are gorgeous and eye-catching, and they jingle when they walk, which is very ostentatious.
From the moment the Moon Country team appeared, many people came to watch.
The eldest prince of the Yue Kingdom sat on the back of a Ferghana horse with his chin held high. He was very strong and tall, and sitting on the horse, he looked like a big black bear.
But he has deep facial features and is very handsome, especially his eyes, which are full of wisdom and sharpness.
He saw the officials from the Ministry of Rites waiting at the gate of the capital city. In the face of their courtesy and hospitality, he did not dismount, but raised his voice and said, "Are we almost at the post station? Our Moon Country Goddess is feeling uncomfortable after the bumpy ride, and needs to find a place to rest first."
