Ice Fantasy Chapter 22: Snow Country(17)
My elder brother is called Xing Jiu, and he is a child with strong spiritual power just like me. It's just that his fate is not as weird as mine, and his spiritual power is not as strong as mine.
But I love my brother. Because he always said to me when I felt that I was a child who should not have been born:
You make me want to be a better person. Because of this sentence, I fell into his arms and cried sadly. Before I was 130 years old, I was a lonely child. I was in the lowest level of the phantom star palace. I have never seen the real astrology, but only saw their silvery brilliance on the astrological rod. I have never seen a gushing sunset as red as a lotus flower, nor have I seen a group of haze under the sunset that is as vague as black light ink. I have never seen the snowflakes fall on the cherry tree and the petals of the cherry blossoms fall on the shoulders. I have never seen my own palace, the lightest and elegant Huanxing Palace in the Huanxue Empire.
I only imagined them bit by bit in my elder brother Xing Jiu's narration, thinking about them made me feel more and more sad.
My brother always told me steadfastly that he would be a better man and that I would not die at 250.
Looking at his young face, I really like my brother.
When my brother was 130, he became an adult. After he participated in the annual ceremony, he walked to the bottom of the Magic Star Palace to see me. I thought I saw my father.
My brother has become a resolute and upright astrologer like my father. I saw his pure white astrology robe and his long flying hair. I said slowly and happily: Brother.
Xing Jiu came over, hugged me and put me on his lap, he said: Xing Gui, I am becoming stronger little by little, you must wait for me.
I nodded, and then saw my brother's smile spread warmly on me. Xing Jiu said to me: Xing Gui, brother will not let you die, I will change the trajectory of Xing Xiu, I want you to be by my side all the time. Because you are the one who makes me want to be stronger. You are my world.
You are my world. My brother didn't know it all the time, and I felt sorry for his words every time. I always think, if one day I die suddenly and my brother can't find me in this darkest basement, will he, who is so resolute and strong, shed tears for me?
My brother told me everything outside, including who is the king of the Huanxue Empire and who is the best illusionist. He always mentioned Ka Suo's name, because my brother thought he was the best prince. Gentle, kind, and imposing. My brother said he was a great man, and he must be a great king in the future.
My brother told me that one day he is strong enough to change my destiny, then he can let me out of this dark cage, let me stand in the most magnificent hall of Renxue City and pray for Ka Suo's astrology, Because I am the best astrologer.
I looked at my brother's radiant face and almost believed it, but I knew that everything was just a gorgeous dream, a dream that could be used to comfort myself and my brother. I know that my last life will be inexplicably interrupted in a certain morning or a certain **** dusk, but I still thank my brother for giving me the hope of living, but I still feel distressed and sad in my heart, not for me, But for my favorite brother Xing Jiu.
My body has a completely different physique from others, because I found that I was still a child's body in the first morning when I woke up at the age of 130, so I found that I would never grow up.
I hid from my brother that day, and when I thought of Xing Jiu, I burst into tears. My elder brother is already a tall man, but I still look like a child. I don't want my brother to see me and feel sorry for me.
But Xing Jiu seems to know already, he stood in the empty darkness and told me gently, Xing Gui, I know about you, but my brother hasn't changed in any way, I still like Xing Gui. Because a star trail is a star trail, no matter what it looks like, it is still a star trail.
I was on the other side of the darkness, looking at my brother standing in the center, his face was very gentle, and his hair was **** softly. I saw his black astrology robe, covered with faint blue hexagrams. Then Xing Jiu turned around and saw me, he came over, picked me up and put me on his lap, he said: Xing Gui, this astrology robe was given to me by the king, because I accurately predicted a disaster. Xing Gui, I am gradually becoming stronger, please wait for me.
My brother leaned down and kissed the hexagram on my forehead. He said: Xing Gui, you make me want to be a better person.
I stayed at the bottom of the Illusory Star Palace, and my years were gradually disappearing day by day. I forgot the hustle and bustle and high spirits outside. Isolate from the world, watching the thread of fate winding alone, and I quietly wait for the arrival of death in it.
For a while, my brother didn't come to see me. Because, at that time, the jihad between the fire clan and the ice clan was raging on both sides of the ice sea like a black tide, and everything that passed was caught off guard.
I stood on the ground floor and looked up at the black zenith, imagining whether the world at the top was filled with fire, and whether those icy blue clouds had been burned like red lotuses.
I do astrology every day because my brother is on the battlefield. I always imagined him standing high on the cliff, holding up his astrology rod, the light burst from the ground under his feet, and he was observing the astrology to plan for thousands of troops. The wind cut his skin like a blade, and I saw his face as firm as his father's king.
During those long days, my father always came down to accompany me instead of my elder brother, and he put me on his lap as when I was just born.
I always ask him about the battles outside, my king father always tells me, Xing Gui, don't worry, because our king is the greatest king. My father told me that my brother is the youngest astrologer on the battlefield, but he has made great achievements. I can imagine Xing Jiu's high spirits, and imagine him standing on a unicorn and criss-crossing the battlefield. I trust my brother because he is the greatest person in my heart.
Whenever I show a comforting smile, my father always sighs sadly, I know he thinks of my short life trajectory like a meteor again. I always stroked his old face and told him, father, please don't worry about me, because my brother will change the position of the stars for me. I even used this lie that I didn't believe to comfort my old father, my father nodded to me, and he said: Yes, you can definitely live happily forever.
Then he turned his head away, but I still saw tears rolling down his sunken eyes.
I don't know decades or hundreds of years later, when my brother Xing Jiu stood in front of me again, I knew the holy war was over. My brother returned home in triumph. I saw that he had officially put on the king's fantasy robe of the Huanxing family, and I was so happy that tears filled my eyes.
Xing Jiu hugged me, he grinned happily, his presumptuous smile was like the bright morning sun. His laughter wrapped me warmly inside, and I felt as if I was in my mother's body warm enough to fall asleep.
Xing Jiu said to me: Xing Gui, I have finally become the king of the Phantom Star Clan, and I will gradually become stronger. I looked at my brother's serious face and nodded vigorously. I even started to believe this dream he wove for me.
But the dream is still a dream, and one day it will dissipate like an illusion in water. What I didn't expect was that that day would come so soon.
It seems like my life is coming to an early end. I thought sadly as I lay in the cold darkness. On the day I turned 190, I suddenly felt a tearing pain in my chest, and then I lost consciousness. Before I fell on the black basalt ground, I saw the white blood gushing out of my mouth, flowing drop by drop on the ground like a narrow stream, and finally spread out, blurred and dense, just like my dissipated consciousness.
When I woke up, I was still lying on the ground alone. I sat up slowly, and then carefully wiped the blood on the ground with my sleeve. Wiping my tears while dripping down, I feel sad never before. I am not because of the pain or death, but because I suddenly thought that I would never see my brother's bright smile again. Sadness suddenly gushed out of his throat. I sat on the cold ground thinking about my brother.
When Xing Jiu came to see me that night, I didn't tell him, I was afraid he would be sad. He is still talking about the beautiful cherry blossoms in the outside world, the gorgeous Liulan, the majestic mountains and the quiet sea. When I saw his handsome face, I felt an empty sadness in my heart. I thought I would never see this face again.
I vomited blood frequently in the following days, and my body deteriorated day by day, but I didn't let anyone know. I always smile quietly in front of my brother and my father, I don't want them to be sad, because they are the two men I love most in the world.
I don’t know which day it was, when I woke up from the black ground, I started to wipe the blood on the ground habitually, and then I saw a woman standing in the darkness, the black robe seemed to be covered with the thickest night dipped out. She looked at me and said to me without hesitation: I can give you eternal life.
I can give you eternal life. I don't know who the woman who said this in front of me was.
