Chapter 30: Kaguya in the Moon Palace

The moon is cloudy and sunny, people have joys and sorrows, everything is fleeting, where is there immortality?

———————— ————————————

On this barren and small planet, beside the sapphires and rubies, there is a gorgeous city. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

A tall silver wall surrounds the city, and in this circle, there are countless towering high-rise buildings, which are wrapped in impermeable metal and stand like building blocks, arranged in a regular pattern from left to right, from top to bottom.

The building is surrounded by bright lights of the same style, and a monotonous white light swayes around, and the light engulfs the whole city like flowing water, making the city as beautiful as a holy relic.

But in this masterpiece city, life is still full of ordinary beings, some of whom have the same faces as humans, some of whom have two rabbit ears, and they are the people of the moon, the people of the moon.

The people of the moon are arrogant, they have thousands of times more advanced technology than the people on earth, so they look down on the people on earth, thinking that it is a hell where all filth gathers, and only the moon is the heaven that is sacred and loved.

To the east of the city, there is a huge palace, this is a palace made of silver alloy, it is not as tall as the other buildings, the whole palace is only one floor, but it is built on the top of a high hill, so it can overlook the whole city, it is not as monotonous as the other buildings, it has intricate carved ornaments, there are pavilions, and there are even huge windows that are not found anywhere else.

This is the palace where the princesses of the moon live, and it is also a palace dedicated to the god of the moon.

In the pavilions, there is a room with light yellow tatami mats, a porcelain vase with flower branches on a wooden table, and ink paintings of mountains and water hanging on the walls. A young girl sat quietly on a tatami mat and looked out the window in silence.

The girl has long black hair and a beautiful face, and she sits motionless in a pink kimono.

The cloud-like hair was scattered behind her, and together with the loose clothes, her body was thin. She is so beautiful, like a delicate flower, that people can't help but caress gently. How desolate she was to be able to show a pair of desperate eyes like stagnant water on that God-given face.

She is one of the princesses of the moon - Penglai Mountain Kaguya. She is the fruit of the moon god and the daughter of the moon god, so she is the princess of the moon, but she has never met her mother, and she was raised by the sage of the moon who is also her teacher and friend.

Kaguyahime, who was sitting quietly, heard a knock on the door behind her, she shook her head, and then said lightly, "Please come in!" ”

The door opened, and a mature woman in a strange costume walked up to Kaguya's side, she had beautiful silver hair, and although her face was just as beautiful, it was slightly inferior to Kaguya's side.

Kaguya's gaze finally left the unchanged window, looked at the silver-haired woman sitting next to her, and said emotionlessly, "You're here, Yonglin." ”

"It's still the same lifeless! Kaguya. That's not going to work, it's a waste of your beautiful voice! With a warm smile, Yonglin patted Kaguya's head softly and said.

"Yonglin, why can you smile?" In the face of Yonglin's affectionate movements, Kaguya still pursed her thin lips, without a smile, and even looked at Yonglin's eyes, and moved back to the window, "The moon is decaying, since the last vote of the Council of Eighteen Elders, whether it is our royal family or you sages, they have become empty shells - only symbolic meaning remains......"

Yonglin still smiled and said, "It doesn't matter! It's just that the rights are lost, and everything will get better and better......"

"Getting better?" Kaguya's voice as cold as the wind interrupted Yonglin's words, "Yonglin, you should have seen it!" Outside this window, there is only endless night and unchanging light, and the technology of the moon people is getting stronger and stronger, and we have high-rise buildings that will never collapse, and we have eternal light, and we have endless food. However, under these so-called eternal sieges, people gradually lose their faith in eternity, and they are content with the desires of the moment and the pleasure of the moment, leaving their hearts, emotions, and beliefs behind......"

"I know...... Yonglin put away his smile and sighed, "since those people took power, they have preached the beauty of the moment, the pride of the moment, the freedom and equality, but in these high-rise buildings, there are still people displaced; Under this eternal sun, there is everywhere sin in bliss without disguise; Even if there is no food at all, under 'freedom' and 'equality', there are very few people who freeze and starve to death. ”

Moreover, they also treated the moon rabbit as a de facto slave. Haha......" Kaguya couldn't help but sneer twice as she added to the Council of Elders' crimes, "They say 'it's just a matter of time,' but they are after eternal rights. They make the people lose themselves in the fleeting joy and sorrow, but they themselves pursue an unending slavery. ”

"Alas...... Kaguya, you're right...... The moon capital is decaying, and everyone has fallen into an arrogance that they can't extricate themselves from, but I can't do anything about it with the title of 'sage'......" Yonglin nodded and sighed.

"yes...... In a world where all this is only a fleeting moment, what else is immortal? Kaguya looked at the blue amber hanging high in the sky, the beautiful and vibrant world, and muttered, "Are these buildings that won't collapse?" Or are these cold lights? Na...... Yonglin, I want to make an elixir of life. ”

"What did you say?" Yonglin, who was listening silently, exclaimed, "Kaguya, you say it again." ”

Kaguya turned her head, turned her beautiful face to Yonglin, and said, "Na...... Yonglin, I want to make an immortal elixir!! ”

"What!?" Yongrin sighed in disbelief, what she saw in Kaguya's eyes was no longer silence, but a frenzy of flickering light.

"Yonglin, don't you understand? I hate this place, so, I'm going to show them what true immortality is. Well...... With the stubbornness of those people, they will definitely exile me to the earth! But just as I was trying to go, on the blue ground!! ”

(For the first time in my life, I received an evaluation vote.,Thanks to the support of the brothers "Sky の空" and "Devil's Dance".,I'm serious about the 'first time'.,So I added a change.,Hawkers...... I can only write "The Realm of the Sea" next week, is this the so-called happiness trouble? (laughs))
