Chapter 5: The Journey of Suffering (5)
b)
The heavy twilight drowned out the dawn of family affection, condensed into a barrier on the cold ice, the meridians of flesh and blood were filled with foul smells, making separation and encounter no longer so familiar, the dark lightning controlled the freedom of power, let the dim stars fall into the turbulent stream, the wings of the soul caressed the pendulum of life, so that the intoxicated mind could not be saved by reason, the messy confetti dissolved the prosperity of the market, little by little withered into a dead space, and the infinite desire dragged the wheel of the will to push the ignorant original intention into the material cliff。
The end of happiness thought it was greater happiness, but in fact it was endless pain, the front end of joy thought it was soaked in light, but it was actually frozen darkness, the center of perfection thought it was all good, but in reality it was innumerable evil, the sad and frightened always had to walk on the same path as the clown, the depressed and lost were always stifled by mediocrity and lost their wings to fly, the tired, The dull always wants to capture all the hearts with money, all the glamour is full of intrigue and the bleakness of killing, and in every restless night, the broken conscience never finds the starting point of rebirth.
The blood-red remnant sun fell into the twilight vastness, splashing a few twinkling lone stars, the faint blue smoke shrouded the lush greenery of the trees, extending a trace of cold coolness to the secluded laneway, the gray eaves condensed the singing of birds, outlining a plain landscape painting on the yellowed walls, and the indigo flowing water rolled up the translucent waves, making the turbulent waves reveal a salty and salty smell.
There will be birth and death, the process of which is plain and vigorous, there will be harmony and strife, there is an uncertain verdict under every success or failure, there will be redemption and revenge, the greater the expectation, the greater the disappointment, how much will be extended, time limits the direction of space, space restricts the progress of time, there will be a result, no one will always stand on a high place, and no one will always stay at the bottom.
Bai Xiaoran, the king of the country of stars, stood on a high platform and explained the doctrine of faith to his people, but when he explained the most exciting episode, he found that he was no longer able to do it, and his tired body told him that he seemed to be beginning to enter the twilight years, but the future of the country of stars still did not find the most suitable candidate.
Among his children, he could not see hope and a kingdom supported by good thoughts, the sprout of power corroded their eyes and hearts like poison, the monarch Bai Xiaoran knew that he had to make a decision at the end of his lost path, he should favor who should stay away from whom only he knew best, time blurred the memory of time, so that the distant footprints had no distance, but the length of life still did not change but waited for death to come......
How many lighthouses of the view are covered by the tides from where heaven and earth meet, when can the bright flames warm every corner of the heart in the coexistence of whirlpools and storms, which roses are poured into the gray haze by the clouds and flying snowflakes, how far does the ignorant desire swell on the balance between truth and lie, what kind of destination does the shrimp want to find when it escapes the confinement of the reef, and whether the ruler of happiness can find miracles in the real world of suffering and incompleteness.
Trust relies on the scaffold of honesty to continue to climb but feels that the underneath has long been hollowed out by hypocrisy, the torrent of family affection and materialism wants to swallow up all the power but predicts that joy will not come, the bright heights may be occupied by loneliness or warmth, and kindness may be secretly beginning to be conceived in dreams that are beyond the reach of desire.
The eldest prince pushed open the door of the house and praised: "Second brother is really diligent, I can hear you swinging your sword outside, and I will definitely become an excellent military wizard in the future." "The second brother is not only strong in martial arts, his literary talent is still powerful, if he becomes our monarch, the country of the stars will definitely create a prosperous era." The third prince walked in after him, and he said happily.
"Big brother, third brother, I'm just waving my sword in boredom, don't you dare to talk nonsense, how can I bear the heavy responsibility of the country of stars?" the second prince said humbly as he inserted his sword into the scabbard. "Second brother, among our three brothers, you are the best, and our father will pass on the throne to you 100%. The eldest prince said excitedly with a smile on his face. "Second brother, when my eldest brother and I came, we saw that the soldiers of our country were gathering together to discuss state affairs, why don't you go over and learn martial arts with them, the rise of the country of the stars is indispensable to them. ”
The third prince paced around the room and said enthusiastically. "I'm just going to let someone guide me now, thank you two brothers for the reminder, with their help, my swordsmanship will definitely grow a lot!" The second prince hugged the eldest brother and the third brother and said solemnly. "Father, my third brother and I have recently discovered that the second brother and the soldiers are very close, and he may have gathered all his forces to seize your throne. The eldest prince arched his back and said timidly.
"The second prince is your own brother, and you falsely accuse him without any basis, and there is still any love between you. The monarch Bai Xiaoran slapped the table and said angrily. "This is true, when my eldest brother and I came, we happened to see the second brother and the soldiers gathered together, and nine times out of ten we were discussing our next move?" "If this is the case, I will personally go to the barracks to see what is going on, and you can go down first if you have nothing else to do!" Monarch Bai Xiaoran shook his head and sighed.
"Father, the second brother's ambition is much greater than we thought, even if you don't believe us, you have to think about the future of the country of stars!" the eldest prince turned his head and added. "Ladies and gentlemen, what are you gathered together to discuss, the country of the stars is inseparable from your efforts over the years. The second prince walked over and said gratefully. "Second Prince, the peace of the country of the stars is our responsibility, and it would be too much for you to say so. The soldier stepped forward and said respectfully.
"I'm here to learn martial arts with you, and if I can learn something new by the way, it would be even better. The second prince held the soldier's hand and said cordially. "Second Prince, you are exalting us too much, what we teach is some fur, you are born with military talent, we still have to ask you for advice?" "Let's try to compete, the future of the country of stars needs your revitalization. The second prince drew his sword and moved his feet.
"Second Prince, you are the hope of our Star Country, and we are just a dispensable part. The soldier didn't dare to look into the eyes of the second prince, and muttered. "I really didn't expect my son to gather with the soldiers to discuss his own overthrow of my rule, you have been planning a rebellion with them for a long time!" the monarch slapped the second prince and said angrily. "I'm just sparring martial arts with them, it's not as serious as you think, you misunderstood me. The second prince pulled the monarch's sleeve and argued.
"They have all begun to support you as the new monarch, and they say that they have no ambition to rebel, so you should stop defending and admit your mistakes!" "There must be a trap set by someone, I guess it's the eldest brother and the third brother, they want to frame themselves and put themselves on the throne. The second prince put his hand on his chest and said soberly. "At first, I thought they were lying, but when I saw with my own eyes that you had such a tacit understanding with the soldiers, I was convinced that everything they said was true. Monarch Bai Xiaoran sighed and said anxiously.
"Since my father thinks I'm guilty, I know that I'm at a loss for words, if you want to kill or chop, come and have a good time!" the second prince held his head high and clenched his fists. "Come, put the second prince in prison and imprison him, and no one will let him out without my permission. The monarch Bai Xiaoran wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes and said sadly.
