Chapter Seventy-Four: The Cage of Life (Part II)
Constantly cutting the laurel tree, the laurel tree kept rising, and then it kept cutting and rising, and the cycle began, year after year, day after day, this is Wu Gang's life, he never knew what it meant to be tired, and he never knew what it meant to stop.
When the cut is really tired, Wu Gang will look up at the depths of the Moon Palace, where there is a stunning beauty, maybe at a certain moment will look at him, even if it is a glance he is already satisfied, of course, what he envies is not Chang'e's beauty but Chang'e's goodness......
At the beginning of eternity, Chang'e stole the elixir of immortality and ascended to the moon, not for the idea of immortality, but so that the elixir of immortality would not fall into the hands of the wicked and ruin her life.
"Have you ever considered giving up?"
"Ahh
"Give up, give up what?"
"Give up your obsession and regain your freedom. Wang Chen believed that freedom was very desirable for anyone, but after seeing Wu Gang's slightly pained expression, he realized that Wu Gang was not punished for cutting wood......
"I angered Emperor Yan and was a sinner. Wu Gang lowered his head, and finally let out a long sigh, the past was really unbearable.
After so many years, when he remembered that scene, he couldn't bear to think about anything, he acted like that when he was young and vigorous, he was rewarded with eternal punishment, maybe the punishment had passed, but he was always unbearable in his heart......
"Who said you were drunk?"
"Hey......"
"Emperor Yan is gone, those ancient things are over, and this self-exile of yours should also be over. ”
"If I can't cut down the laurel tree, I won't be free, so I have to cut it. After Wu Gang cut down one and then grew another, he looked at the sky slightly, although there was only one laurel tree, but it would always be cut down.
He thought of his wife, remembered the scene when his wife was happy under the son of Emperor Yan, and remembered the scene when he killed Emperor Yan's son in a fit of anger, and finally angered Emperor Yan and was punished for cutting down the laurel tree, although tens of thousands of years have passed, but it seems as clear to him as yesterday.
In fact, they are in love, he just got to know her earlier, although she is with him, but she has never had feelings for him, and the union of the two will always be just a misunderstanding, he broke them apart, so that they are separated by yin and yang.
He is indeed guilty, and knowing the wrong person at the wrong time is sin, and it is original sin.
can't let go of the fact that his heart is always like this, so Wu Gang has been in self-exile.
"Actually, what you cut is just the phantom in your heart, as long as you put down the axe in your heart, the laurel tree will break off on its own......" Looking at this Wu Gang, who was constantly swinging the axe with his upper body, Wang Chen felt that he was very pitiful.
He is indeed a very poor person, and after so many years, he has never been able to give up.
"Forget it, if I don't cut down the tree, I really don't know why I'm alive, maybe, if I put down the axe, I'll die......" Wu Gang glanced at the Moon Palace again, his eyes full of longing.
"Do you like Chang'e?"
"It's not that I like it, but I look forward to the most beautiful woman in the world, she has been through too much, she is really unhappy, I always want to make her laugh, but I can't make her laugh. Wu Gang was a little discouraged, a lonely person, when he met someone who was also lonely, he thought that there were a lot of things to talk about, but the two were not people of the same world at all.
One is just longing, and the other is always expressionless, just looking at everything in the world coldly.
"You're guarding her?"
"Well, I have always guarded her, she is the goddess in my heart, although I ......" Wu Gang suddenly remembered the marshal Tianpeng, and then he lowered his head, he did everything to protect the goddess Chang'e, but after all, he was a weak existence.
"Put it down. ”
"If I could, I would have let go, but I couldn't because I would have died. Wu Gang shook his head and continued to chop the laurel tree in the illusory world.
A rabbit jumped up and down in front of Wang Chen, and suddenly turned into a stunning girl looking at Wang Chen.
"Sister has been waiting for you in the Moon Palace, why have you been chatting with this person here?"
"I think he's a poor man. ”
"He's a poor man, you better think about yourself first, at least he's alive to keep cutting down the laurel tree, at least no one will pay attention to him, but you...... Recently, I have a hunch that your losing side has become bigger and bigger, and maybe you really can't change these things. Xiaohuan said with some concern.
"It's normal to win or lose. ”
"However, there are many people who bet their vitality on you, if you lose, these people will also lose, and Journey to the West will be restarted. ”
"I know. ”
"You can't beat Nyolai, because Maitreya Buddha controls the future, Burning Lamp Buddha controls the past, and Nyolai controls the present. ”
"The past is the present, and is the future also the present?"
It can also be said that the one who controls the present can turn the future into the present. ”
"Then I'm going to give it a try and see if I, a swordsman, can break it all. ”
"Stubborn ......" Xiaohuan first glanced at Wang Chen angrily, and then his eyes suddenly became gentle, "However, we all bet on you, we hope you can win." ”
"Really?"
"yes. ”
"Go ahead, Sister Chang'e has really been waiting for you for too long. ”
"Hmm. ”
Wang Chen walked by the laurel tree and walked into the Moon Palace, Chang'e was sitting quietly on the stone bench in the courtyard outside the Moon Palace at the moment, the moonlight was bright and clear, and it was very comfortable, Wang Chen sat down and faced Chang'e face to face, his eyes and face were extremely calm, if he saw a friend he hadn't seen for many years instead of looking at the first beauty in the Three Realms.
"I've never liked Hou Yi, I'm a human race, and Hou Yi is a witch clan, but I'm very emotional, the Hou Yi clan was wiped out after I flew into the sky, I'm very strange, I've been thinking, God let me be in the Moon Palace, who to wait for. Chang'e looked at Wang Chen with an intriguing smile.
"It won't be waiting for me, right?" Wang Chen also laughed.
"Maybe not waiting for you, but you are at least a hope, so you don't lose. ”
"What if I lose?"
"Then I hope you can leave the seed, and I will take good care of this seed. ”
"Fairy, I am a little shy when you say this......" Wang Chen smiled embarrassedly, but seeing Fairy Chang'e so holy, Wang Chen felt that he might be thinking crookedly......
"I know what you're thinking, whatever you think, if you're willing to leave the seed behind. Chang'e stretched out her hand, hesitated, and finally grabbed Wang Chen's hand, but after grabbing Wang Chen's hand, Chang'e's cheeks suddenly turned red......
Perhaps, after so many years, it was the first time she held the hand of a strange man, and this man was not familiar to her.
"Is this a deal?"
"It's not a deal, I'm tired, I'm tired, you can't imagine how lonely it is in this Moon Palace, and you can't imagine that I'm here, as if something has been enveloping me and making it difficult for me to move an inch, if Wu Gang is the same...... Hey...... "Chang'e closed her eyes.
"I will leave the seed, even if I lose. Wang Chen let go of Chang'e's hand.
"So you ......"
"Fairy, if I win, I want you to take my seed, and if I lose, I want ...... That's it......" Wang Chen turned to leave.
Chang'e looked at Wang Chen's back.
She didn't know why......
