Chapter 4: The Garden of Love
The birds and flowers in the sanctuary are like the mysterious garden where the goddess of love lives in the legend. But the garden where Eros dwelt, apart from countless sparkling diamond-like flowers, consisted only of a small palace and a small mound next to the palace. In that small mound of earth, buried the sparrows who had loved her deeply.
In order to prove his sincerity to her, the sparrow made an "arrow" out of the thorn of the rose, stabbed it in his heart, and shed all his blood to dye the diamond roses in the garden into the red roses that Eros longed to have. The blood-soaked arrow later became the arrow of true love.
This mythical story of "true love" ends in tragedy, although the goddess of love has a bewitching red rose and an artifact, the sparrow that truly loves her is dead, there are no more sparrows in the divine realm, and the god of love no longer understands love.
How do you share this story with everyone?
Well, use the most old-fashioned method to think deeply with you, what is "love and love", in the course of life, in the face of the sudden appearance of "strangers", should we choose rational survival, or emotional survival?
After cultivating for thousands of years, a sparrow finally ascended to the Divine Realm, becoming the first and only sparrow to fly into the Divine Realm to worship the phoenix. Seeing that it was small in size, but that its willpower and courage were commendable, the phoenix ordered the sun god to go to the garden of the goddess of love. As soon as the sun god arrived above the garden, the crystal clear diamond flowers flew up in flames, reflecting the nine heavens, and the entire divine realm was shrouded in colorful glow, and hundreds of birds flew in the fairy music, gradually turning into handsome men and women in neon clothes and feathers.
The sparrow looked at the vision of the sky, his eyes were full of confusion and fascination, and he also wanted to transform into a good-looking human form. When the phoenix spied on its wish, it invited it to stay in the divine realm and arranged for it to go to the garden of the gods. "If you can spend a thousand years in the garden of Eros, I will give you a face comparable to that of Eros. ”
The sparrow had never seen Eros, and looked up at the hundred handsome men and women in the sky in confusion.
A graceful woman wearing a purple-blue light gauze feather robe descended from the sky, held the hesitant sparrow from the misty ground to the palm of her hand, and whispered, "I will send you to the garden of the god of love now, she is the most beautiful goddess in the divine realm, and her garden is also the most beautiful, after you go to her, you have to hide in the flowers, you can't sing and make noise, so as to avoid being expelled from the divine realm by her." ”
Before the sparrow came back to its senses, the beauty had already taken it into the air and flew into the colorful glow, and it took a long time before it was released, "The garden is below, and you have to survive by yourself for a thousand years." ”
The sparrow fell slowly, and in the glow it lost its instinct to fly. After falling into the soft soil under the flowers, it stands up, beats the dust on its wings, and walks leisurely through the "jungle" in a very good mood: there are so many fleshy insects, tall stems and leaves to shelter from the wind and rain, and a warm house can be built anywhere. Ah, I can live a leisurely life for a thousand years, and I will no longer be displaced.
After a few days of this, when the sun god went somewhere else, the colorful glow suddenly disappeared. The sparrows wandered around the garden in idleness. Unintentionally, it realizes that it can fly again, so it spreads its wings and flies.
Wow, there are so many flowers in this garden, I don't know how many kinds there are?
After a lifetime of thought, it began a new life, and it took nine years to count the types of flowers in the entire known area of the garden—nine thousand nine hundred and ninety-nine in all.
On the first morning of the tenth year, it got up early as usual to explore the wider and wider fog area, but as soon as it entered the smog area, it was wet with a light rain and fell to the flowers to take shelter.
It happened to see a white rose with its head hanging and about to wither.
After ten years of looking at the diamond flower, a withered and unpretentious mortal flower suddenly appeared, which made the sparrow feel pity. So it landed at her feet, "How can I help you?"
The white rose with teardrops on the petals had a hoarse voice, and replied in a low breath: "I can't go back to heaven, thank you for your kindness." I am just a seed that was brought up from the human world by the Honghu, and even though I grew up in the divine realm, I couldn't transform into a human form. ”
Sparrow didn't believe it, "I went through a thousand calamities and dangers to fly from the world, and I can only become an adult after a thousand years - the flowers here will never bloom." ”
"I'm in the twilight of my life, and I don't want you to waste your energy and time on me. If you are also lonely, you can tell me what you experience every day, and maybe I can help you share it. White Rose looked up, and in her necklace with burnt petals was a shy, pale face, and tears were hanging down.
The beauty wept and was sad;
Heroes are righteous and spoiled.
Allow you to love for a lifetime and not to correct the past;
I will give you a moment of grace, regardless of this life.
In this way, the sparrow circled in the airspace near the White Rose for a year. In the rain and fog, there are occasional winds and lightning. Although it became a god, the last minor god in the Feng clan, it still had exhaustion, and even had the idea of dying because of frustration. "Rose, I don't think there's a difference between the divine realm and the mortal world. In the mortal world, there are many companions flying together in the same direction. We face the wind and waves together, brave the mountains and rivers together, face them together, be happy together, sad together, and cry together, regardless of failure or setback. But here, I only have you, but you can't fly with me. The sparrow flapped its wings and pressed its wet and embarrassed head close to the rose's sickly face, and suddenly, its tears could not help but slip from its dark and round eyes, and happened to drip in the blue-yellow stamens, which made the withering rose feel a pain in her heart.
"You have walked around this garden, but you have not seen Eros, don't you want to see her, and win her heart? ”
The wounded sparrow turned from a hero into a coquettish toddler, his buried head swaying gently on the petals of roses. Who says that heroes don't shed tears? On the last night of the tenth year of entering the divine realm, the first sparrow in the universe to become a god cried with a sick rose. It no longer pretends to be strong, no longer has dreams, is not afraid of being ridiculed by thousands of fireflies that glow green next to it, and is not worried that such a "ugly" will be spread by nearby flowers and insects! At this time, it wants to rely on roses to welcome the end together. "I don't know Eros, I just want to be with you. ”
The white rose saw through its depression and a hint of sincerity towards itself, and caressed its head with the last of its tender petals, "You said you wanted to save me, do you still count?"
Sparrow did not answer. It has witnessed the withering of roses, from the twenty-eight fresh petals it first met, to the one petal that is now only one petal left, and it has wept several times behind her back. But the tears just now scorched the twelve green and tender stamens that bubbled on one hundred and eight pale yellow stamens, but the sparrow did not know how much the burn made the roses suffer.
Rose was in pain, and her heart was burned, but she couldn't bear it, but wanted to encourage the sparrow to soar into the sky and become the leader of the Feng clan. "Listen to those amazing flowers, there is a way to get us out of the garden and become human. ”
The sparrow wiped away her tears with her wet wings, looked up and said, "What's the way?" if you could be an adult, it would be great, and when I became an adult, we could go to a better place together." ”
"Have you seen that cluster of diamond roses in front of the palace of Eros?"
The sparrow nodded, "They're beautiful, with diamond-like flowers and stems and leaves. ”
The white rose took a long breath and said softly, "Dye the red diamond rose with blood, and the roses in the entire garden will become gods." ”
"Blood?" Sparrow has gone through a catastrophe to get here, and is not surprised by this strange "upgrade password".
"Hmm. You can ask for help from more birds, and each bird can save all the roses by donating a little blood. But to make the rose a god, and to leave this imprisoned garden, you need the blood of true love. ”
"The blood of true love?"
"Every bird has a rose in its heart that it likes or loves. ”
......
After that night, the White Rose never saw the sparrow again, and did not wait for the sparrow to return after the last of its tender petals withered. She missed it, she cried. The handsome pear blossom wrapped in twenty-eight burnt yellow petals brought rain and was secretly melancholy.
Suddenly, all the smog in the airspace above her head rushed towards her, and in the smoke billowed out, the petals of the flowers withered away, and even the branches and leaves fell into the black soil and turned into powder. After the haze disappeared and the place returned to Qingming, a peerless beauty wearing a colorful neon feather coat and a graceful figure stood on the green lawn, staring lonely at the lonely palace in the distance. Her face was the face of the White Rose.
With a "boom", the sun god descended from the sky, turned into a beautiful man in a red robe and stood in front of her, sneering and sneering like flattery, "That sparrow is so stupid that it shed blood and died in the rose bed." The diamond roses you forged for tens of thousands of years have become the red roses that are unique in the universe. ”
The cold beauty's face was blank, and she lightly lifted the lotus step and walked away, going straight to the flower platform in front of the palace. When she fell in front of the flower stand like a colorful streamer, and saw the delicate red roses that she had been fascinated for a long time, her expression was so dull that her eyes were hazy with tears.
Red roses?
When a diamond flower turns into a red rose, it requires the blood and soul of true love. In the life of every living being, there will only be one true love.
She looked for it, and sure enough, there was a lifeless sparrow in the flowers, and in its heart was a bright red arrow—the hardest and sharpest diamond rose thorn in the world she had ever made.
The tears in her eyes silently crossed the crystal and traceless peerless face, dripped next to the crystal slipper, and splashed into a transparent diamond flower with a "tick". As the teardrops continued to fall, more diamond flowers bloomed at her feet—the original garden flowers.
She never thought that there would be people in this world who would give up their lives for her unrealistic ideals - in the ten thousand years of living in the divine realm, she had never seen a red rose representing love, and she had been hoping that someone could give her a red rose, but the flower of true love could not enter the divine realm at all.
Thinking that she had seen through the love of the world, the first true love rose in heaven and earth appeared in front of her eyes - a flower with the breath of life poured with the blood and soul of a sparrow who truly loves herself. She didn't know whether she was happy or sad, so she stood numbly and wept.
......
The image of the picture is blurred, the music is low and sad, and the little girl sitting on the purple princess's sofa is crying breathlessly, "Mom, can the sparrow be resurrected?"
An anxious-looking woman handed her a rose-colored silk handkerchief, "Qinqin, in the story you tell, all the endings are as you wish. See again tomorrow, it's time for you to go to bed now. ”
The little girl took the handkerchief and wiped away the tears on her face, and with a flick of her little hand, she sent out a purple energy wave and turned off the virtual image in mid-air.
