Chapter 82: The Karma Star

Capricorn is located far away from the constellation Orion, which belongs to the constellation Capricorn in the southwestern part of the Milky Way, and is a planet of Capricorn Head.

Karma people are born with longevity genes, everyone's normal lifespan is more than 1,000 years, the old king Torriha lived to 1543 years old, when Torriha died, his ex-wife and her son had already gone before him.

Later, the new queen gave birth to two more sons, but they were still young, and they were not yet adults until the old king's death.

The eldest prince's name was Murge, and the younger one's name was Mulina, and they were both only twenty or thirty years old, and they were still underage children.

The old king passed the throne to his eldest son, put his younger brother Bozhike in charge of the country, and told him to take care of his two sons, and return the government to Murge when the children came of age.

The year after the death of the old king, the queen married Berzhe, and a few years later, the queen gave birth to a boy named Dort.

Everything was peaceful, more than twenty years later, the two princes gradually grew up, and according to the custom of the Karma Star people, they became adults after the age of sixty.

Murge is 56 years old, and the queen has repeatedly persuaded Uncle Wang Bozhike that when Murge becomes an adult, she must return the government to him, and then retire, she will definitely live with Bozhike in a down-to-earth manner.

Whenever he talked about it, Bořik was full of promises, and he had no intention of refusing.

On this day, it was another day of family banquets, and Uncle Wang also invited several old ministers and elders of the court, and several children also participated in the reception.

Halfway through the feast, I don't know whether he had drunk too much wine or remembered something sad, but Bořik burst into tears.

Several ministers hurriedly persuaded and asked Uncle Wang why he was sad.

"I dreamed last night that the old king Torija was happy, and my brother said that the children had grown up, and he was happy, and then he woke up from the dream. ”

The queen said: "This is the old king's dream, which means that the prince can be in charge of state affairs." ”

Bořik asked several ministers for their opinions, but the ministers said that the matter of returning to power could be discussed slowly, because the prince's uncle Bořik was in good health, and besides, the prince had not yet reached the age of 60.

The queen said: "Since the old king has made it clear in his dream, 'The children have grown up,' it means that it is time to return to government, and besides, I have dreamed of the old king many times these days, so I don't think there is any need to wait." ”

Uncle Wang Bozhike cried even more painfully, he nodded and said, "Okay, the coming-of-age ceremony for the eldest prince will be held in a week, and the pro-government coronation will be held in another week." ”

The proclamation had been posted all over the country, and the citizens were rejoicing that a new king was about to be ushered in, and the two little princes were both smart and lovely, and were deeply loved by the people.

To the east of the city is a large tarmac, which is already crowded with guests from all walks of life who have come to attend the event, from friends and relatives on the planet of Karma, to various royal families and nobles from other planets.

And it came to pass on that day that all the people of the city came to the gate of the king's house.

A high ceremonial platform was erected in front of the royal palace, which far exceeded people's psychological expectations, which shows the importance that Bourge attaches to this ceremony.

At the back of the stage, the guests and friends were already in place, and they all made a special trip to support the prison country Bozhike, and even several guests brought the princess, wanting to take this opportunity to arrange a marriage with the prince.

Colorful flags and lanterns decorate the platform with colorful and joyful spirits; Wuyang's noisy voice set off the liveliness of the scene.

In the midst of singing and laughter, Uncle Wang Bozhike walked to the stage, he couldn't help but shed tears again, "I respect and love my brother Torriha very much, since his death, I have always kept in mind his old man's entrustment, conscientiously took care of state affairs, and cared for the two princes in every detail, so I hope that the prince will grow up quickly, and then I will return to politics and retire." ”

Hearing this, the two princes stood up and bowed deeply to Uncle Bozhike.

The queen also nodded frequently at Bořík, expressing her gratitude.

Bořik continued: "The great day I have been looking forward to has finally arrived, and today I will personally perform a coming-of-age ceremony for the eldest prince Murge, and in a week I will choose an auspicious day so that the prince can be crowned and officially become our new king." ”

The people in the audience cheered again, and many people danced happily.

The attendant next to him brought a garland hat, and a few clusters of flowers decorated the hat extremely brightly and dazzlingly.

The eldest prince Murge came over and knelt on one leg, and Bořik took his hat and put it on him steadily, patting him on the back of the head.

The coming-of-age ceremony was completed, and the people standing on the top of the stage sprinkled many colored paper ribbons from it, and the cheerful atmosphere was also set off to a climax.

In accordance with the etiquette, the prince also walked to the stage and made an impromptu speech to express his gratitude and pleasure.

The eldest prince stood up and walked to the front of the stage, and everyone thought he was going to speak, so the room fell silent for a moment, ready to listen to the handsome Murge's speech.

Someone suddenly felt that something was wrong, and the prince's gaze was a little glazed, and his walking movements were a little stiff.

Murge had already reached the edge of the stage, but he did not mean to stop, and continued to move forward.

The queen had already stood up, stretched out her arms and shouted, "Murg, stop—"

It was too late, although the ministers on the left and right were only a few meters away, but no one could pull the eldest prince back, right under their noses, in front of the eyes of the people, the eldest prince Murge stepped into the air and fell straight down.

Some of the people tried to catch Murg below, but they were powerless because it happened so suddenly.

The eldest prince fell heavily to the ground and immediately fainted.

The scene that had been rejoicing just now turned into a disaster in the blink of an eye, the queen had already fainted with fright, and Uncle Wang hurriedly walked down from the high platform, and the ministers followed closely behind.

When Bořik saw the eldest prince lying on the ground, he opened his mouth and immediately began to cover his face with his hands and weep, and the ministers also wept, deeply saddened by the misfortune that had befallen the eldest prince.

In the midst of his weeping, Bořik could faintly see the eldest prince's eyes move through the gap between his fingers, and he immediately stopped crying and said, "Heaven is unjust, since he is unwilling to give us such a good king, then let the prince go to heaven to rest in peace." ”

Bořik turned his head to look at the minister beside him, when his close minister, Ying Aji, walked over.

"Yingagi, you say, what way can make the eldest prince go to heaven as soon as possible?"

"Lord Warden, of course—cremation; That's right, it's cremation, because smoke flies the fastest! Ying Aji replied, her little eyes still dripping.

"Then why don't you hurry up and prepare, just light a bonfire next to it and arrange a cremation for the eldest prince."

The queen hurriedly stood up to stop her, "Uncle Wang, we don't need to be in such a hurry, let's let the medical officer take a look first, maybe there is still a way to save it." ”

A medical officer approached and took a sneak peek at Berzk, who happened to be staring at him as well.

The medical officer turned his face and carefully examined the eldest prince, he shook his head, "The eldest prince has already gone, let's arrange the funeral as soon as possible." ”

The queen still did not agree to be cremated immediately, and Bořik had to ask his close minister Ying Aji again, "What is the slower way to go to heaven than cremation?" ”

"Lord Jianguo, then it has to be a burial; Burial allows the injured body to settle as quickly as possible, and allows the disturbed soul to rest in heaven. ”

"Then why don't you hurry up and get ready, stay here and nag about something! Immediately arrange for someone to dig a pit in the west of the city, and make sure that the eldest prince is buried before dark today, so that his soul can go to heaven as soon as possible. When he finished speaking, Bořik folded his hands, closed his eyes, and prayed silently.

The queen still disagreed, "Uncle Wang, please let the little prince accompany his brother again, even if it is for one night, and don't bury him immediately." ”

Several brave ministers around agreed that there was no need to bury the eldest prince immediately.

"Is there any way to preserve the prince's consciousness, so that his soul will not be scattered, and he will have the opportunity to enter heaven in the future?" ”

Ying Aji replied in a low voice: "Only according to the traditional method of our Karma Star, take out the brain of the eldest prince and seal it in the crystal ball, so as to ensure that his soul will not disperse and his thoughts will live forever!" ”

This time the queen did not object, and the little prince Mu Lina also agreed.

On the same day, the eldest prince's brain was taken out intact by the medical officer and sealed in a crystal ball in a solemn and elaborate ceremony.

The body of the eldest prince was hastily buried on the outskirts of Xicheng, which was a mass grave overgrown with artemisia grass!
