Ice Fantasy Chapter 24: Cherry Blossom Festival (1)


Dreams are blown into silk threads by heavy fog

The rain slowly penetrates the world

The remaining frozen wasteland is at the end of the world

The light sings the killing into a psalm

Falseness disguises despair as prophecy

Despair pushes fate far away again

The length of the universe or the sky

The second hand or the faintness of breathing

You stay in the void, you sleep in fate

You wake up gently in the shadow of a huge hourglass

The gaps in life are filled with compassion

And you are in this indifferent world

In the 100 years since I left Huanxueshen Mountain, I have become a lonely and satisfied person. Because I have a certain hope in my heart. I have always thought that if people have hope, they can live peacefully and peacefully for a thousand or ten thousand years. The loss of time and the gradual change of life and death are no longer important, they have become slow-moving air waves, blowing through the boundless forest of giant trees.

I know that in a certain corner of the world, Shi, Lanshang and Li Luo are growing up day by day. They will always grow up one day. I hope they can stand happily and happily on the earth of this world, looking up at the blue sky and facing the sky with squinted eyes and a smile. Whether I see them in my lifetime or not, whether they remember me or not.

Actually, what I want is this kind of life, simple and satisfying. The maids began to say that I became like a warm king with a smile on my face.

I always recall a dream that Xing Jiu gave me hundreds of years ago. In the dream, I was the wizard who violated the taboo bound to the swimming stone, and my younger brother Ying Kongshi was the one who only My freedom and the snowbird whose blood splashes the ice sea. I used to always be sad about this dream, but now I can finally feel relieved.

Because I know that Shi must be like me, living in this world, he is still a beautiful little boy. Maybe there will be an older brother who loves him as much as I do, and will live with him, just like when he and I were exiled in the mortal world.

It's just that Xing Jiu has already left Renxue City, I don't know where he took his most beloved sister in his life, but ended up committing suicide for his sister. He told me: to live strong, because in this world, there are people waiting to meet you again, and you have all their memories on your body.

After returning to Renxue City, I went to Huan Xing Palace, I met Xing Jiu and Xing Gui's father, and I told him about Xing Jiu's death and Xing Jiu's departure. When I finished speaking, his old face was stained with tears, and those tears seeped into his deep wrinkles.

He told me that maybe Xing Gui chose to die as a relief, but when she died, Xing Jiu didn't forgive her. Being hated by the one you love is the saddest thing, and what is sadder than this is to die sadly with this feeling. Even if the person she loves has forgiven her, she still has no way of knowing.

He told me a lot about their brothers and sisters, and I saw this late old man's memories of time. Those past events reappeared in his life scene by scene, rising and sinking alternately like a dream. I saw the past ups and downs in his cloudy eyes, I seemed to see Xing Jiu's appearance when he was a child, and saw him smiling brightly with Xing Gui. I suddenly remembered the back of Xing Jiu when he left with Xing Gui in his arms, and my throat choked up for a while.

I walked over and hugged him, his body was already hunched and thin, and he was no longer the all-powerful and resolute king of the Xingxiu clan back then.

When I left the Xingxiu Palace, Xingjiu's father knelt down, crossed his hands, and said to me, "Your Majesty, you are the most benevolent and kindest emperor I have ever seen. Praying for you.

Just like Xing Jiu, her mother-in-law also left Renxue City, her hair is still very short, and it is impossible for her to regain her previous spiritual power. I stroked my hair with pain in my heart.

My mother-in-law told me when she left: Ka Suo, you are a great king, even greater than your father. Your father defeated the entire Fire Clan and made the Ice Clan reach its peak, but I think you are more qualified to be called a great emperor than your father. Because of your deep feelings and great mind. Ka Suo, I'm leaving this Renxue City and returning to the Magic Snow Mountain. I'm already old. And the trajectory of your destiny has just emerged. Someday, the most important people in your life will come back to you. Wang, please wait patiently.

I watched my mother-in-law staggering away, her figure shrunk and gradually became blurred, and heavy snow fell solemnly behind her, soundlessly. I remembered that in the past, Shi and I were just naughty children in the snowy fog forest, dressed in white, **** our hair with brocade, sitting on my mother-in-law's lap and listening to her call us prince. There is the scent of wildflowers in bloom and the fleeting sight of unicorns all around. The sun soaks the entire snow and fog forest like a tide, shining brightly. And in the blink of an eye, hundreds of years passed by in such a noisy and silent way, I have already put on the robe of Huangya illusion like my father, stood on the highest wall, and heard countless people shouting and worshiping me. But the mother-in-law who loved me, hugged me and called me prince at the beginning is already getting old.

The figure of my mother-in-law disappeared at the end of the falling snow, and the sky suddenly darkened severely. I heard the sound of the wind passing by the treetops around me, far and wide.

As for Luna, Huang Tuo and Chao Ya, they had already bid farewell to me when they came back. I know that Ren Xuecheng is only my Ren Xuecheng, and I still want to stay alone.

They returned to their respective territories and went on with their lives. Their joys and sorrows thrive in the realm thousands of miles away. Their respective sorrows or joys fade away and become stars in the sky.

The first resurrected person I saw was Lan Shang. When I saw her, she was still a little mermaid, swimming happily and freely in the ice sea. I saw her long, pure silver-white hair, shining like shining stars.

I went to the Deep Sea Palace to see the little mermaid who didn't grow up. The owner of the Deep Sea Palace told me that her name is Jiantong and she was born more than a hundred years ago. No one knows her origin, she was found wrapped in a large group of seaweed. When people brushed away the seaweed, they saw her sleeping face. I know she is Lan Shang.

I stood in the palace of the Deep Sea Palace, looking at Jian Tong in the sea outside, thinking of Lan Shang's appearance hundreds of years ago, I finally felt relieved. The girl who once made me feel bad is finally able to swim freely in the water again.

The owner of the Deep Sea Palace told me that Jiantong always said she was going to marry me, and when they asked her why, she always said she didn't know, with a confused expression on her face. But she still firmly told others that she wanted to marry the king in Renxue City.

Since then, I have always sat on the high roof of the palace watching Jiantong. It's just that Jiantong never noticed me. I suddenly remembered that in the past, when I used to sit on the roof every night and watch the stars dance like poplars, Lan Shang hid in a small corner of the ice coast. At that time she was watching me silently like this, but now, I am watching her silently like this.

I feel like everything is a kind of predestined repayment. But I am willing. I hope to see Xiao Jiantong grow up day by day, and then I will take her into the palace, and I will not let her be hurt again.

When Jiantong was 130 years old, she turned into an alluring woman, and the entire Deep Sea Palace fell into panic. Because Jiantong's appearance is exactly the same as Lanshang who died hundreds of years ago. In the year when Jiantong shed her fishtail and became a human, I took her into Renxue City and declared Jiantong to be my concubine. On the day I married Jiantong, the whole Renxue City was extremely excited, because this was the first time I married a woman after I became a king. I sat on the Xuanbing Throne, and all the astrologers, wizards, and swordsmen below lined up on both sides. At the end of the avenue in the center of the hall, I saw the pupils in full costumes, radiant and extraordinarily bright. But her expression was still confused. I saw the blizzard in her eyes. She stood alone at the end of the avenue, like a wounded beast.

So I stood up, smiled and waved to her, and I said: Jiantong, come here, don't be afraid.

When Jiantong walked towards me step by step, the people standing on both sides gradually knelt down along the place where she walked. They folded their hands on their chests and lowered their heads. I heard the worship resounding throughout the hall.

I saw that Jiantong's eyes became clearer and clearer, and the bewildered expression on her face gradually dissipated. I knew that her memory was waking up bit by bit. And I, too, seem to have experienced a rebirth, and the past is like falling snow. I saw the clear traces of hundreds of years spreading on the ground of the hall, spreading at Jiantong's feet. Jiantong seems to have walked from one end of time to the other, to where I am.

When Jiantong stood in front of me and looked up at my eyes, I could no longer see the wind, snow or turbidity in her eyes, and I knew that her memory had all awakened. So I tried to call her softly, Lan Shang. Then tears filled her eyes. She knelt down, tears fell on my Huangya illusion robe, she said: King, I have been waiting for you for a long time.

I hugged her shoulders, looked at her, and said: Jiantong, let me take care of you for the rest of my life, I want to give you happiness.

Then I saw the smile in Jiantong's tears, and heard everyone cheering for me. But I saw that there was still an indelible sadness between Jiantong's eyebrows, and I thought that the only way to heal the scars of the previous life was to wait for time.

Since the mother-in-law left the snow fog forest, the children in that forest lost a lot of warmth. Every time I went, those children would pull the lower corner of my robe and ask me in a low voice, Wang, where did my mother-in-law go? When will she come back?

I always bend down to touch their faces and tell them that mother-in-law will be back soon, and the king is here to accompany you, so you don't have to be afraid. Then the kids laughed happily.

I always lie on the grass in the snow-fog forest, and the sun falls on me like an overturning, warm and safe. I have been looking for the shadow of Li Luo's reincarnation here. I want to see Li Luo when she was young, and I want to see her growing up bit by bit.

In the end, I saw Liluo, the woman I have loved for hundreds of years and will continue to love.

When I saw her, she still looked like a child, but I knew she must be almost 130 years old, because she had an adult-like determined expression on her face. When she appeared, she looked like a vigorous little unicorn full of strength. She was wearing black boots, with her long legs exposed, like an agile Luna. Her hair was still the same as before, slightly ice blue.

She looked at me with a strange expression. I knew that deep in her memory, she must have the same face as mine. I smiled and stood in front of her, watching her without speaking, I was waiting for her to think of me.

It's just that she stood in front of me, kept looking at me, didn't speak, and I saw the confused expression on her face.

I asked her: What is your name, can you tell me? She raised her head and looked at me, she still refused to speak, I saw Li Luo's face from her face, and there was a hollow pain in my heart. I leaned down and said to her: Don't be afraid, I'm leaving, and I'll come to see you again when you're 130 years old.

Someone told me later that the girl was called Li Jing, and she was born unable to speak. She doesn't have pure illusionist blood, but she is very talented and has good spiritual power.

When Li Jing was 130 years old, I went to the Snow Fog Forest again. At the exit of the Snow Fog Forest, I saw Li Jing who was about to leave the Snow Fog Forest when he grew up. She stood high on the unicorn, and the heavy snow fell slowly behind her. I looked at her, and for a moment, it seemed as if time went back in time. I saw Liluo, which I saw for the first time at the end of the long street in the mortal world, as beautiful as the most brilliant cherry blossoms.

I walked over, and Li Jing gently got off the unicorn. She knelt in front of me, crossed her arms, and then raised her head to look at me. Although she couldn't say a word, I seemed to hear her voice clearly in the air, just like Liluo spoke to me hundreds of years ago, she said: Wang, I'm here to take you home... I'll go In the past, holding Li Jing, and crying like a child, I said to her: Liluo, I miss you so much.

Li Jing became my wife, the queen of Ren Xuecheng. On the day of our wedding, the entire Renxue City was immersed in an atmosphere of joy. After watching too many killings and life and death, I was caught off guard by the sudden happiness.

I looked at the sky outside the window, wondering if all this was another joke played by fate. But, even if it was an illusion, I sank into it willingly.

The happy time I prayed for hundreds of years gradually appeared in front of me, and I felt as happy as I was about to cry.

But what makes me sad is that, like Jiantong, there is also sadness in the corners of Li Jing's eyes and brows. Perhaps the wait of hundreds of years is too long, and everyone is waiting almost desperately.

Li Jing and Jiantong are by my side, because Jiantong is originally from the Deep Sea Palace, so she has excellent spiritual power, she always helps me deal with the affairs in Renxue City, and everything makes me feel very satisfied . I always see her tired figure, and see her constantly reading the dreams presented by wizards and astrologers. She always tells me what happens in the empire in a timely manner, and then I tell her what to do.

A few times I have seen Jiantong falling asleep tiredly in my palace, and I always feel distressed seeing her tired. Then I always gently carry her back to the bedroom, watching her face sleeping soundly like a child. I once told her not to be too sad, but she smiled, and her smile was as bright as Lanshang's sunny smile.

She said: Wang, I'm not tired. I feel very lucky to be able to help you.

And Li Jing has always given me gentle care. Every time I return to the bedroom from the main hall, I can always see Li Jing waiting for me at the door holding a lamp. She held the red palace lantern in her hand, I saw her hair flying in the wind, her face was gentle and quiet, I seemed to hear her voice, she was saying: King, please come home with me... …Every night when I see Li Jing holding a lamp for me, I feel warm. Even when I am exhausted in the hall, I just think that Li Jing is still holding the lamp in the wind at the door waiting for me to go home, and I feel extra warm. That faint light always let me know the direction in the dark night, let me know that someone is waiting for my return.

I told Li Jing not to wait for me in the wind every day, it would make me feel very distressed. But every time Li Jing smiled and shook her head, then put her head on my chest, I could smell the fragrance of her hair.

I seem to have got the happiness I want, but do I really have no regrets? I turned to the sky and forgot words. Deep in my heart, the person I care about the most has still not appeared in my life. Both Li Jing and Jian Tong know that I have been waiting for news of my brother, but he seems to have disappeared and there has been no news. Could it be another joke that Yuanji and I played? Every time I look up at the sky, Ying Kong Shi's face will always appear on the empty sky, and when a snowbird flies past, I will always hear Shi's voice. I heard him saying to me: Brother, how are you doing? Are you happy? are you free now

One night, I suddenly woke up struggling from a dream, then burst into tears, and finally hugged Li Jing and cried bitterly. Because it suddenly dawned on me that I might never see my brother again.

I suddenly remembered Yuanji's words: Those who use it to revive will be reincarnated as the person they most wanted to be in their previous life. It occurred to me that if Shi still wanted to be my younger brother, then I would never see him. Because my father, the queen, and the queen have already gone to the Magic Snow Mountain, where no offspring are allowed to be born.

That night, I sat in the dark all the time, and everything about Shi resurged from the depths of my heart. It had already been buried deeply, but the wound suddenly tore open, and the blood spewed out again.
