Chapter 45: The Secret of the Earth (13)
"Brother Arrow, it's not that I'm cruel to you, this is not an ordinary crystal ball, it is a crystal ball that was born naturally in the universe hundreds of millions of years ago, and then it was contaminated with God's omnipotent spiritual power, so that it has the power to rule the whole world, you don't want our country of light to fall into a dark and chaotic world, right?" The King of Light picked up Dugu Arrow and looked at him affectionately.
"Is that crystal ball really so powerful? Who can prove that it is a sacred object that rules the heavens and the earth? Maybe it's just a lie made up by those boring people, monarch, don't take it too seriously, the secret of the crystal ball is still a legend, and its existence can only be regarded as a false dream. Dugu Arrow straightened his waist and said firmly.
"Nonsense! How can you as an ordinary person guess a holy relic with spiritual power, the crystal ball is a treasure given to mankind by the universe and God, and its value is immeasurable. The spy minister rushed up, his eyes were full of anger, and he said angrily, "Monarch, you must not believe his lies, he begs you so sincerely just to exonerate yourself, the crystal ball was lost by them, of course they will never take care of your pain, you will not watch the kingdom of light lose its fraternity again, and fall into the misery of being occupied by desire!"
"You're right, I don't want my people to lose themselves in a dark world, I want them to live in the world they want, a beautiful fairytale world like a rainbow dream. The King of Light turned around and let go of Dugu Arrow's hand.
"Since the monarch is determined to punish us, I am willing to accept the punishment, but please do not torture my wife, who is after all the one I love most in my life. Dugu Jian turned his head to look at Jingliana, and he saw her sobbing softly with her hands over her mouth.
"Okay! I won't embarrass you, I now order you to go to the Magic Mountain to seize the crystal ball in the hands of the dark lord Lu Zhuxuan, as for your wife, she will follow us back to the Land of Light and be punished in prison, after all, she lost the crystal ball. The King of Light looked at a glimmer of light in the sky and said calmly.
"Monarch, can you not let Jingliana stay in prison, she can't stand the loneliness and darkness, and I will bear all the blame for her crimes?" Dugu Arrow pulled the corner of the King of Light's clothes and pleaded.
"Jingliana must be punished, otherwise what is the law of the Kingdom of Light, since she can't turn her kindness into defense, it can only show her ignorance, if everyone is like her without a little caution, then besides her suffering, will it affect the whole world?" said the secret agent with a disdainful look, he pursed the corners of his lips.
"Minister, stop your attack, I won't make people suffer if I have a country of light," the King of Light interrupted him, turned his body to Dugu Arrow, and continued, "Don't worry, we won't hurt Jingliana, it's safer for her to stay in prison than at home, I think you know better than I do." ”
Dugu Arrow stood silently in the grass, his gaze fixed on the last rays of the setting sun. At this time, the King of Light left the wooden house with Jingliana, and the blood tide of the soldiers of the Land of Light flowed towards the distant sky, and Dugu Arrow quietly watched their distant backs disappear into the twilight afterglow, and a transparent liquid as bright as the Milky Way began to fly into the corner of his eye......
The boundless pitch black flew into the night sky and shrouded the earth in a gloomy cold, the faint blood-red color was melted into the dark desolation as soon as it revealed a glimmer of light, and the damp earth seemed to be impregnated with a vague slime, precipitating into the depths of the earth little by little, and even the free dust could not withstand the confusion and fell desperately downward. Crystal Lena's mind floated in a corner of dust, stumbling to find no support for her heart, and when the wisps of light broke through the darkness and began to shine in her eyes, she was brought back to the cold of prison.
The night lifted up a hazy phantom and put it into the hearts of the people, and then opened the sleeping dream to fill it with sad colors, Crystal Lina was sleeping in such a dream at this time, her body was firmly bound in a small space, on both sides were dark shadows, hanging down to cover the window of the soul, she rolled her eyes sadly, let the merciless pitch black smear a sadness in her memory, her thoughts galloped in the world where the two people had met together, where they had met, loved, The jungle of love, but fate always likes to play tricks on happy people, just like a rainbow can't hang in the sky all the time, its appearance is all determined by the roar of thunder and lightning, she remembers that on the morning of her and Dugu Jian's wedding, Lan Xingye, the king of light, led the soldiers of the country of light to congratulate.
When the King of Light handed over the crystal clear, huge crystal ball to Dugu Arrow, her eyes seemed to meet the long-disappeared pupil and was about to fly out, but she still didn't believe that it was her vanity, and her gorgeous appearance tempted her to think that it was a unique treasure, and her intuition told her how many days and nights she had been waiting for a dream, and finally waited for a capital that could be shown off to others.
At this time, she felt that she was not living in a lonely house in the jungle, but floating to the sky with twinkling stars, but when she looked at Dugu Arrow and did not show a little nostalgia for the crystal ball, she felt that her sweet dream slipped from the sky to the bottomless abyss, she pulled her husband's cuffs vigorously and persuaded him to accept the crystal ball, because its beauty had completely conquered her fluttering soul, she said in her husband's ear that as long as they had it, it was equivalent to having wealth, its beautiful appearance told her that the crystal ball could be exchanged for a lot of gold coins, when the yellow shadow of money broke her heart again and againShe watched her husband's hesitant eyes solidify into a shaky question on the surface of the crystal ball, she once again pulled her husband's cuffs and wanted to hide his confusion in the happiness of the two people, only to see Dugu Arrow retract the crystal ball, and the two eyes stayed in the sorrow of the blood-red light floating.
The night continued to pull the other end of the dream to a darker place, as if the moment of awakening lasted longer than all the time of sleep, Jingliana trembled in the cold of the night, the cold cold light poured on her weak body and spread a thin layer of frost, she still slept in the shallow dream, the sad memory pulled her into the brightness of the jungle, and then pulled her back to the solitude of prison, she heard her heart beat crushed by the bleak air in the infinite blackness, and her breathing became low and rapid like the sound of a pendulum, she felt as if the sky was a thick twilight pressed down, and just covered herselfShe could feel the silent silence of her tears falling into the darkness, and the silent cry that pierced the vastness of the night sky attracted a large area of blood-red shimmer.
At this time, she remembered the wooden house in the jungle, remembered the parents in the wooden house, remembered the deep eyes of her parents, but she could not reach it, because her body was wrapped in dark shadows, like a dying cow falling into a rushing flood, Jingliana's dreams still extended to darker places, the sorrow did not end with the blood-red favor, she could see the rainbow on the horizon alone above the prison and the jungle, but she could not get near it, the thought was painful, but only the thought could make the incomplete heart complete, she slipped quietly towards the end of the nightShe is willing to accept whether it is the blood-red light or the deeper darkness, after all, her mind has matured in the lonely world, and gradually, she remembers the love legend of the Hanging Garden.
Nebuchadnezzar II, the king of Neo-Babylon, married the Medesian princess Annaedes as his queen, and the princess was beautiful and loved by the king, but as time went by, the princess became sad, and Nebuchadnezzar somehow became sad. The princess said, "My hometown is full of mountains and flowers, and here is the plain of Babylon as far as the eye can see, and there is not even a hill to be found, how I long to see the mountains and winding paths of my hometown again!" It turned out that the princess was suffering from homesickness, so Nebuchadnezzar II ordered the craftsmen to build a cascading terraced garden in his palace according to the scenery of the Median mountains, which was full of exotic flowers and plants, and opened a quiet mountain path in the garden, beside which was a gurgling water, and the craftsmen also built a castle tower in the center of the garden, standing in the air, and the ingenious garden scenery finally won the princess's heart.
