"Haha!" Prince Charles burst out laughing, and he said to me, "You are thinking too much, and your wife, though she is beautiful, is not interested in this prince." ”

"Not interested in my wife?" I subconsciously clasped my hands in front of my chest, took two steps back and said, "I don't have much interest in the prince either. ”

"What's going on in your head?" Prince Charles shook his head with a smile and said, "The reason why I want to invite your wife to dinner is entirely because I saw the earrings on your wife's ears at your winery that day. ”

"Earrings?" I was puzzled and asked, "What's so strange about an earring?" Could it be that she is carrying some rare treasures? ”

"It's not a rare thing, but the shape of that earring is very interesting." Prince Charles said mysteriously.

"I still don't quite understand, I haven't even noticed what her earrings look like."

A few years ago, a few merchants from the East had crossed the ocean to visit the British Empire, and they brought with them a lot of fine porcelain.

Looking at the porcelain brought by the merchants, Prince Charles was overjoyed, and he wanted to buy all the porcelain on the spot. As he looked at the porcelain, a porcelain vase caught his attention. The porcelain vase not only has a peculiar shape, but also the patterns depicted on the bottle are quite complex, neither common flowers, birds, fish and insects, nor ordinary landscape beauties, but more like a scene of a story.

Prince Charles asked the merchants why the bottle was so peculiar. What is the meaning of the pattern on the bottle? The merchants said that the bottle was bought by them from the people, and that it had been turned several times before it reached them, and that it was impossible to verify where the original came from, and that the pattern on the bottle depicted an ancient oriental legend.

In the cognition of normal people, all people, whether they are ordinary people, or emperors and generals, can not escape the erosion of the years, after all, they have to embark on the road of the Yellow Spring of no return, even if they can call the wind and rain in their lifetime, they will only be left with a white bone buried under the loess. But not everyone can accept such a fate, there will always be some people who want to pursue immortality and eternity, so there are those warlocks who pretend to be gods and ghosts to make alchemy and seek immortals, and there are those crooked cults that deceive and deceive.

In that ancient Eastern legend, the sun is eternal, represents endless energy, and symbolizes the perpetuation of life. And it is actually an immortal bird, living on the top of a mysterious and unknown mountain, someone once accidentally reached there, and found that the entire mountain top is covered with gold, and the golden light can make people instantly fascinated and unable to extricate themselves, and the immortal bird will return there to rest whenever night falls.

The man who discovered this secret was confronted with the greed for gold all over the ground, and he wrapped the gold in his clothes and carried it down to the foot of the mountain from night to dawn.

The immortal bird that opened its eyes found that someone was stealing its gold, and immediately became furious, opened its mouth and spewed out a fireball to burn that person directly, but what he didn't expect was that the person was unscathed in the raging fire, and under the surprise, he quickly climbed down the mountain.

The man who lived for the rest of the catastrophe lived for a long time, and almost had to be offered as a god, and he finally told the secret of the immortal bird under the repeated questioning of everyone, and all the people who heard about it were ecstatic and rushed to the top of the mountain where the immortal bird lived, but when they got there, they found that there was gold everywhere, and there were immortal birds.

The people were very angry, and when they returned, they arrested the man and beat him severely, and in the end he was beaten to death.

Later, rumors began that the undead bird had moved somewhere else with its gold after it was discovered, but as long as enough gold was used to build an altar, the undead bird would descend, and then in its raging flames, ordinary people could be reborn for eternity.

This rumor was once believed by many people, and for a while, everyone built a gold altar to attract the undead birds, but as a result, they didn't even see a single bird feather, so some people said that the amount of gold was not enough, and it could not attract the attention of the undead birds, but how much gold would interest the undead birds? No one can tell. It was also said that the immortal bird had been disturbed by people, so it moved to a place with few people, neither in the east nor in the west, and perhaps somewhere between the east and the west.

All in all, because they felt that it was too difficult to summon the undead birds, many people eventually gave up, and the matter of building a golden altar to summon the undead birds was gradually forgotten by the world as time went by.

After a long time, so long that it can only be described a few years later, a mysterious sect suddenly appeared, they claimed to have found the right way and place to build a golden altar, only enough gold was needed to summon immortal birds, at first few people believed them, but with their continuous propaganda, the sect's members increased rapidly, once the scale reached hundreds of thousands, and each member of this mysterious sect would wear a jewelry with the same shape, That shape is exactly the imagination of the immortal bird.

Later, this sect was too powerful and successfully attracted the attention of the ruler of the dynasty at that time, and after some investigation, the ruler of the dynasty decided that the leader of this sect was purely pretending to be a ghost, and the real intention was to rebel, so he sent a large army to arrest and suppress it, and the mysterious sect collapsed in less than a month.

Since then, the legend of the immortal bird has rarely been mentioned, and no one has thought about building any golden altar, as if nothing had ever happened.

After listening to Prince Charlie's introduction, I asked, "Are you saying that the earrings that my wife is wearing are the so-called immortal birds?" ”

"I'm not sure if it's an immortal bird, but it's exactly the same as the jewelry worn by the person on the porcelain vase I bought."

"Tsk, that's strange, could it be that my wife is a descendant of one of the members of that mysterious sect back then?" I said to myself with a frown.

"I'm also very curious, so I wanted to invite your wife to have a meal with me and see if I can tell some stories about the immortal birds."

"You're also interested in immortality?"

Prince Charles shook his head and said, "My god tells us that people will eventually die, but after death the soul will ascend to heaven, so I don't believe in immortality." ”

"Then why are you so interested in this immortal bird?" I asked, puzzled.

"Actually, it's nothing, I just think that old oriental legend is very interesting, and I want to organize all those things into a book, which will definitely sell very well by then!" Prince Charles said excitedly.

I was a little speechless, but listening to what he said today, I suddenly thought of something, could it be that the immortal bird is the real purpose of Long Xin'er coming to Paradise Island? But this is also too nonsense, how can the sun be an immortal bird? Is there any immortal bird in this world? It is impossible to exist the bullshit theory that you can be reborn after being burned by fire, birth, old age, sickness and death are neither God's will, nor is it a destiny, it is just a normal natural law, Long Xin'er will be stupid to believe these things?

But if you think about it again, it seems that it is possible, the world is still in a relatively backward and ignorant era, and people are still unable to correctly understand the matter of life and death, which is the case in the West, and even more so in the East.
