Chapter 16: The Childhood of the Nine Flower King
The year 3498 of the Changle Palace calendar.
Two years ago, the "Great Shock" incident.
At this time, three years have passed since the implementation of the new law in the Jiuhuatai Islands.
There are still some people on the islands who oppose the new law, especially the archipelago with 100,000 people, the largest family, and the former "royal family" Jiuhua family.
However, because the new law has been recognized and supported by the Nine Flower King, even if some people oppose it because of the damage to their interests, under the suppression and persuasion of the Nine Flower King, there has not been any large-scale violent bloodshed because of the change of the law.
At most, from time to time, some people swim down, gather for meetings, and demonstrate because of changing the law.
However, these are harmless, and the new administrative palace of Jiuhuatai will not care about these.
Since the new law retains the title of the royal family and some special allowances for the royal family, Liuying is still the only nominal king of Jiuhuatai, but the power is not there.
At this time, the Prince of Nine Flowers was already four years old, and as the future King of Nine Flowers, he was reading a book in a study in the Nine Flowers Castle at the moment, and his father Liuying was also in the room.
"Father, what is material?"
A pair of delicate willow eyebrows looked at the elegant man who was standing in front of the main table and writing, and threw out a question that he didn't quite understand.
The nine-flowered king Liuying was dressed in plain white, with a gray cloak like dust, and a golden ring-shaped crown on her head with long black hair.
The crown is inlaid with nine gemstones, which is a special crown of nine flowers, symbolizing the power of the founding of the original Nine Flower King.
Although the white face is often smiling slightly, the melancholy eyes always give people a sense of distance that rejects others.
Putting down the brush in her hand, Liuying said softly: "This substance is a real thing. ”
"The air we breathe is matter, the sunlight we see is matter, people are matter, and the entire neutron planet is matter. ”
"Although the air is not usually touchable, but it is only because of its low density, if you control the hegemony to compress the surrounding air, at first it will become something like water, and after compressing it with the strongest domineering force, it can turn from a liquid into a solid like a stone. ”
As she spoke, she used her domineering power to demonstrate it to the dust.
A bubble-shaped balloon of air slowly compressed into a blue liquid in his hands, and finally turned into something like a small black gem.
Waving his hand, he motioned for the dust to come over and gave him the little black orb, which was a little heavy.
Pinched the beads with two fingers, looked left and right, nodded and said, "Well, father, I probably understand." ”
"Yes, it's good to understand. ”
Gently touching his little head, Ryu Sakura continued to look at a poem she had written at random on the table, falling into a state of thought.
Curiously, he glanced at the contents of the white paper and read it out casually.
"Kneel down to the Buddha and worship the emperor for peace of mind, where is the peace of mind day and night. ”
"Condemning sin and praising oneself to the Lord, I do not know the speed of light. ”
"The Buddha and Emperor are all vain, and it is true that they can cry and make trouble. ”
"Mortals have no fixed nature, and they are gods when they walk side by side. ”
"What does this mean, is it written about God Broad?" he asked, after reading it aloud, and after not understanding the content, he turned to his father again.
Liuying, who stopped thinking, raised her eyebrows and smiled, scratched his little nose and said, "Well, you can't understand it now, when you grow up, you will understand it by reading more books, walking a little, and thinking about something." ”
Fuchen pouted, and replied helplessly, "Oh." ”
At this time, he paused and said, "Father, I want to go out and play with other people, is it okay?"
"Yes, you can, but didn't you just play all morning?"
Ryu Sakura, who touched her chin, was not very surprised by his request.
"This, this. The dusty man was thinking of his own reasons, and he stuttered a little.
Squatting down, Liuying looked at this "stupid" son with her mouth curled and said: "Dust, a person's time and energy are limited, and if you spend your time and energy on playing, you can't use it for reading and studying." ”
"You have two choices now, one is to go out and play, and the other is to study hard. ”
"Whatever you want to choose, Dad will support you, but Dad wants to tell you if you don't study hard right now. ”
"When you grow up in the future, it is easy to be bullied or deceived by others, and it is difficult to find out the cause and solve it when you encounter difficulties. ”
Squinting her eyes, Liuying spoke again: "Well, okay, you can make your own choice now." ”
The little eyeballs rolled, and the dust pouted slightly, "Well, then I'll go study." ”
"But you can't go far, or I won't find you if I have a problem. ”
"Yes, Daddy promised you. With a smile, Sakura dotingly tapped his forehead with her finger.
......
The year 3405 of the Changle Palace calendar.
It is also the fifth year that the last generation of Nine Flower King Liuying ran away and disappeared.
Feeling the coolness of the autumn breeze, the dust that lies on the dark blue tile roof of the castle is staring blankly at the eastern sky.
At the age of 10, he is no longer the ignorant child of six years ago.
Holding a small black bead in his left hand and a golden crown in his right hand, he whispered to the sky, "Father, when will you come back, you promised me that one day you will come back to see me." ”
"The world is about to change as you say, and even Jiuhuatai, which is outside the center of the world, cannot avoid being involved in this catastrophe. ”
"Also, in a world of information exchange, who can really stay out of it. ”
"Probably only God can do it. ”
"But I'm not a god, and without you by my side, even if I become stronger than before, I can't hold that hanging heart down. ”
"But I also promised you to be a stronger wise man, and I will continue to follow the path I have chosen. ”
"I always believe that I will meet you again on the road in the future, and I hope that when the time comes, you will still be the same you were back then, and I will still be the same person I was back then. ”
"We will not be corrupted by the troubled times of this future. ”
