Chapter 21: The Carnival of the Feast (5)
The wings of dawn flapped the loneliness of the night, scattering golden fire in the faint morning light, the power of the fire broke through the confinement of the haze, and the hope of love accumulated between the clouds and smoke, the rushing streams were covered, the swaying aquatic plants sang freely in the gaps between the sand and stones, the singing nightingales flew over the apex of the hills, leaving a poem of rhythm in the ice blue sky, the wandering dust adhered to the petals of the roses, and the transparent tears flashed in the elixir of the dewdrops, the silk threads of tears swelled up, the soothing of family affection, and the warm pictures were recalled in the long river of longing。
The footsteps of dawn always come slowly at the last second when the night fades, happiness always comes slowly at the moment when the pain loses the dark side, time witnesses the solidification of love and the parting of family affection, and those sad scenes and happy scenes freeze people's body, heart and soul.
Monarch Lu Mingxuan and the eldest princess came to the tomb of the monarch Bai Xiaoran with flowers and wine, they looked at the towering tombstone and bowed three times with their heads down, the tomb of the monarch Bai Xiaoran is located next to the river full of fairies and snails, from time to time the people of the country of stars come to offer flowers and worship, and some schoolchildren stroll on the tree-lined path and sing a comfortable requiem.
Monarch Lu Mingxuan looked up at the rose-colored sky, he knew that the killing of war had long been replaced by the horn of peace, the natural warmth seemed to flow in the flesh and blood of the warmth intoxicated by the sound of time, the eldest princess stroked the wild flowers and weeds on the grave with a wave of sentimentality in her heart, her father left her forever in the struggle for power, the familiar face was like a flattened picture outlining the friendship thicker than blood, the monarch Lu Mingxuan walked over and hugged the waist of the eldest princess tightly, they quietly greeted the red sun in the distance and then opened their broad arms......
How many transformations does it take for blood-red flames of light to gush from the source of darkness to the end of light, when the blade of power cuts off the lingering crown of family affection, can the crown of the throne condense into eternal glory, how many days and nights does it take for a heavy breath to slide from the gray area of the deep soul to the tip of the nose, when simple dreams collide with reality, whether merciless success is only in the bud, how many smiles do unfamiliar faces have to experience from distant hills to familiar countryside, when the stream of longing closes the distance between the past, whether tomorrow is a repeat of yesterday。
Power has won all the honor but lost the protection of family affection, time has won the reward of sweet dreams but lost ordinary efforts, all the good is always mixed with ugly deeds, and the applause of happiness is buried in the unconscious perception.
When the monarch Lu Mingxuan saw a worshipper coming to the grave, he asked, "Your monarch has always been healthy, why did he pass away without warning?" The man sighed and shook his head.
"It turns out that the monarch Bai Xiaoran was angry to death by his unfilial children, he advocated a simple life and was dedicated to goodness, but he unexpectedly ended up with such a tragic ending, I am really very sad!" Lu Mingxuan, the monarch, took the hand of the eldest princess and said sadly. "Our Ruler is indeed an old man, who has taught each of us to have compassion and love, to turn away from falsehood and flattery, and to save all greedy souls and sinful souls. The man laid flowers and set out on the path.
"I finally know why the monarch Bai Xiaoran handed over the country of the stars to me with the crystal ball fragments, he made this decision because he was extremely disappointed in his children, and I will live up to his expectations from now on to be a king who loves the people like a son. ”
At this time, the blood-red flame has illuminated every corner of the heart, extending hope to the entire sky, the snow-white feathers touch the toes of fairies and snails, and fly into the warm tide, and the broken dreams kiss the thick earth, looking up at the brilliant starry sky in the muddy water of the gutter......
The strife between siblings intensifies the contradictions of family affection, so that the harmonious relationship is stained with tears of sorrow, the separation of flesh and blood pulls the joys and sorrows of the past and the longing for the future, in the realm of love, the loneliness of the soul is felt, the echo of justice awakens the numb nerves, let freedom blow through the wilderness, cleanses those fallen souls, the power of will exposes the false appearance, sees the goodness that has long been lost at the end of desire, the crippled dream buries the cruelty of reality, and cannot find a spiritual home in the prosperity of the world, the shadow of light connects the cold in the dark night, and makes the frozen land become a part of nature again。
Life, from the day of birth, is destined to be equal to each other, but wars and disasters block the communication of the heart, so that death begins to spread, happiness becomes pain, diligence becomes laziness, envy becomes jealousy, and all hatred grows in the alternation of the sun and the moon, and there is no initial goodness but indifferent eyes.
The monarch Lu Mingxuan and the eldest princess returned to their kingdom and announced to all the people, saying that the monarch Bai Xiaoran handed over the country of the stars and the fragments of the crystal ball to him because of trust, he would never let any more wars between the two kingdoms, and the people of the country of Butterfly and the people of the country of the stars belonged to the same big family.
They must abandon pride and prejudice and love each other, and then he said that he would turn the two kingdoms into a harmonious and stable city-state, and that the ministers and soldiers should contribute their modest strength to the strength of the city-state, and finally he gathered his brothers and sisters into his bedchamber, and warned them that their blood relatives should not be suspicious of power, and that if war broke out, they would be punished most severely.
His brothers and sisters stood in a row with their heads bowed respectfully, no one wanted to be fish under the sword, and the monarch Lu Mingxuan lay on the bed after arranging everything, he closed his eyes and listened to the birdsong outside the window and slowly sank into the azure blue of his dream......
