Chapter 46: The Bloodthirsty Demon Palace (14)
Luo Sakura took a pair of small scissors and said while trimming the wick: "First question, do you have to see Princess Rose?" See her no matter what she becomes? ”
Canghai did not hesitate: "Yes." ”
The first candle went out. She walked up to the second candle and said, "Second question, do you choose to kill her or save her after seeing her?" If you want to save her, this rose in front of you must die. ”
The candlelight reflected Canghai's face, and Rose saw the corners of his eyes twitching, and then said in a deep voice, "Kill her." ”
The boss still chooses ...... Protect yourself...... However, why did Rose want to cry when she heard such an answer? It's like some kind of expectation suddenly vanished.
Sakura snuffed out the second candle, and if Rose was not mistaken, a hint of mockery flashed in her eyes, and she didn't know if she was laughing at Canghai, or at Princess Rose, or at herself?
"Third question, how did you kill her?"
"Do what I can."
"If you can't kill it?"
"Unless I die."
Two candles sizzle out. Luo Sakura looked at the fifth candle and said in a trance: "The fifth question is for me to ask you on behalf of Princess Rose." If she can be resurrected, she will be willing to forgive you, and abandon everything to be with you, no longer be a princess of the Demon Palace, and no longer participate in the disputes of the Three Realms, if that...... Are you going to kill her? ”
If this is the case, the contradiction between Princess Rose and Canghai will be eliminated, and they can be together forever, and the lovers will eventually become married, and the happy ending will be! What's the harm in sacrificing one's own life? Rose thought to herself.
However, Canghai hooked the corners of his lips and smiled, this was the first time he had laughed in the seventh layer of the tower, his smile was lighter than the wind, lighter than the clouds, but it was heavy as if it was pressing the heart of a rose.
Rose heard him say, "This can't be." No way. ”
"Why?" Rose and Falling Sakura asked at the same time.
"If this is really what Princess Rose asked, she is definitely not Princess Rose." Canghai lowered his eyes and said with great certainty, "Rose would not say such a thing, she would not abandon her responsibilities like me." Neither will die. ”
Rose silently chewed the meaning of the words, feeling that there was too much bitterness in it. Yes, Princess Rose wouldn't do that, let alone ask that...... A thousand years ago, she did not abandon her responsibility as a princess of the Demon Palace, and a thousand years later, she will definitely not.
She also never gave in to anything, even fate, even love, even ...... Sea!
It is precisely because she is like that that that she can make the demons so admired and worshipped, even if she has been dead for a thousand years, she still refuses to give up any hope that she can be resurrected.
For a moment, Rose didn't know whether she respected her, or pity, or both.
And at this time, Luo Sakura asked her sixth question: "You are willing to endure thousands of years of wind and rain under the Nai He Bridge for the princess rose, don't you care?" Didn't you endure so much just to wait for the day when she came back? If you kill her, you won't be able to wait for her back, doesn't that matter? ”
Rose was shocked, and finally knew that Canghai had a deep love for Princess Rose!
But Rose doesn't understand! Why stop the rebirth of Princess Rose? Hasn't he been waiting for this day?
Canghai glanced at Rose and said in a low voice: "I have been waiting for her to come back, but by no means in this way!" ”
Luo Ying smiled and asked coldly, "Canghai, you have indeed failed too many people in your life, but have you ever thought about why you have failed them?" ”
The candlelight in the room twitched at the same time. Luo Sakura stood behind the candle, her shadow set off her robe, and she was arrogant: "Although you and I are married, I have paid attention to you since I was a child, watching you flourish, and seeing you proud of the world." Several sisters envy me for being so blessed, the future husband is such an outstanding character, but I know very well in my heart that you don't know how to love people, you don't know how to love people, and you don't care about lovers! If I marry you, it will only be unfortunate, so I will delay the marriage again and again! ”
What the? It's Luo Ying who refuses to marry Canghai! It turned out that she guessed wrong, and Rose always thought that Canghai refused to marry her. But from the first time I saw her, I vaguely felt that who in the world could refuse such a beauty?
"Because although I have a marriage contract with you, I have no selfish feelings, so I have given other women a lot of hope, how many celebrities around you will never marry."
Canghai staggered back a step.
"No, that's not right!" Rose couldn't hold back any longer, and couldn't help but argue out loud, "Those have nothing to do with the boss!" It's them who have to wait, why should they blame the boss for all the reasons......"
"Rose!" Canghai shouted.
However, Rose ignored it and continued: "The boss didn't tell them to wait for her, he just treated them as friends from beginning to end, and they couldn't think about it themselves, could Mr. still force them to marry someone else?" ”
This time, it was Sakura's turn to take a step back, looking surprised.
Not only was the cherry blossoms stunned, but even the sea was stunned. The room was quiet, only the candlelight kept jumping.
After a long time, Luo Sakura suddenly smiled, the smile expanded from her eyebrows to the corners of her eyes, and finally bloomed on her lips: "I said that you are very similar to Princess Rose, and sure enough, your current gaze is firm and resolute and refuses to admit defeat, which is really exactly the same as her." ”
"What?" Rose stammered.
"But you're afraid you don't know yet, do you? Even if all of the above really had nothing to do with the sea, Princess Rose's ......," she paused deliberately, and Rose's heart shrank, "but it was indeed because of him that caused the destruction." ”
The slender hand pointed to the sea impartially. Canghai looked at the rose, a pair of eyes as deep as ink, and vaguely, the rose remembered that he had seen himself like this a thousand years ago.
When lingering with yourself under the cherry blossom tree; When he drank the water of the lake without realizing it; When he struggled desperately to ask him for help; When he was stopped by the barrier and begged him to look back at himself; When he was hit by the two swords of Azhu and Luo Sakura, he fell to the ground with a bang; When he finally dried up with a curse on his soul......
Yes, Rose remembered, at that time, such eyes were no stranger to her.
Princess Rose, the self of a thousand years ago, the arrogant, stubborn, willful and aggrieved princess of the Demon Palace, she fell in love with the proud son of the sky, which eventually led to destruction.
However, how can such an ending be entirely to blame? It's not his fault. Princess Rose, who grew up in the demon world, can't understand the sorrow of human beings, but she can. What is the indispermissibility of destiny, what is the trick of the world, and what is the fate of inseparable...... All these things that I didn't understand thousands of years ago have been experienced and answered in my own life.
So, Rose felt that she could not resent the sea! When hell freezes over!
"Even if the boss really fails Princess Rose, it's Princess Rose's own business, and it has nothing to do with you. You don't have the right to blame the boss on her behalf! Rose said this sentence slowly, and sure enough, Luo Sakura's face suddenly changed color, and a trace of anger flashed in her eyes, but in the end, she shook her head with a wry smile and said: "You're right, I'm really not qualified to say the above nonsense, I'll take it back, I'm sorry." ”
Sakura walked up to the seventh candle and whispered, "After answering the last question, you can pass the test......"
Canghai suddenly said, "I'm sorry, the last question...... I can't answer. ”
"You haven't listened to what I'm going to ask to say yes so sure?"
"I know what you're trying to ask."
Luo Sakura was silent, and after a long time, she said, "It's strange, I know that you won't answer the question I ask, but I can't help but still want to ask." But if I do ask, I'm afraid I'll look down on myself for the rest of my life. She took a deep breath, turned her fingertips lightly, and turned out a peach blossom: "Forget it, you can go." ”
Canghai finally raised his eyes to look at her and said, "Thank you." ”
"I don't need you to thank you, and I don't sell favors to you, you can pass the test if you answer the question, this is the rule I set, and if you complete this rule, you can pass the temple." Her voice reverted to the smell of ice and snow, as she had seen when she first met, standing behind the last candlelight, looking lonely.
When Rose turned around and was about to leave, she seemed to hear a sigh, turned her head to look back, and a smile appeared on Luo Sakura's lips, and quickly disappeared.
Rose seemed to understand what her last question was, she must have wanted to ask Canghai: "Have you ever loved me, have you ever regretted it?" And Canghai said that he could not answer, and said that if everything happened again, he would still do it.
The seven candles in the room were all extinguished, black as a curtain, enveloping the entire room, and also enveloping her black in the cherry blossom petals. Falling cherry blossoms, she is really as lonely as the cherry blossoms falling all over the ground, although she is extremely gorgeous, how can she fall, and she can't change the fate of withering.
The eighth-story tower above the door brightens up in contrast.
Such a bright kind of emptiness, as soon as you step through the door, you step into another world.
