Chapter 29 The Legend of the Phoenix Bird
As soon as he entered the palace, Xuelie's eyes followed the queen. The queen's body has a light fragrance, which smells particularly good. Her waist always swings in front of her eyes, and her soft words are like the spring breeze brushing her ears, like a singing lark... Xue Lie imagined more than once whether the face covered under the mask is pure or beautiful? Do you have the same eye waves as autumn water, or the same eyebrows as Yuandai? An inexplicable feeling quietly grew in his heart.
At this moment, the Queen is talking to Locke eagerly. They are so close and whisper from time to time, and they seem to be an unimpetent person at all. Xue Lie's heart can't help but feel sad.
Finally, the two stopped talking and turned around. The queen is almost as tall as Locke.
They are a good match! How can a child who grew up in the mountains and have been a slave deserve to be a queen? Xue Lie's eyes became even more dim. He squeezed his lips tightly for fear that others would see what was on his mind.
"Guard! Arrange vehicles to go to the inland sea.
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
This is a four-horse-horse gold chariot. Since the spell was lifted, the eight-horse-horse giant gold chariot has disappeared. Shura said that he had got rid of the entanglement of the prince of the sea, so the car may not be necessary and was put on hold. It seems that his blood jade has really become his amulet. Anyway, just give it to him. If you steal it back, you will not only look too small, but also break your promise. How will you lose face? Locke gave up the idea of stealing the blood jade back.
"This is the back garden of the royal palace and the largest royal garden in Atlantis." Shura's gentle voice pulled Locke's thoughts back.
The carriage has driven in. The window of the car was open, and the bead curtain was rolled up, and the two stretched out their heads. Looking around, there are strange flowers and plants everywhere, and the air is mixed with the smell of grass and the fragrance of all kinds of flowers, which is particularly refreshing and smells particularly comfortable.
"Sneeze! Ah sneeze! Ah sneeze!" Xue Lie sneezed several times in a row.
"His nose is so smart, maybe it's for some pollen**." Locke hurried to help Xuelie make a comely come round. Fortunately, Shura didn't care. Xue Lie lowered his head awkwardly and wiped his nose. He was afraid that his runny nose would be seen by the queen. How damaging it would be!
No one looks at Xue Lie, but just looks out of the window. Outside the window, the flowers are as brocade, red as fire, pink as clouds, white as snow, clusters, and warm. Among those flowers, there may be some tall trees standing upright. In addition to common olive trees, grapevines and so on, there are also many famous trees. It's better to call it a garden than a garden, Locke thought.
Suddenly, an extremely beautiful bird flew down from the tree, and its tail was particularly gorgeous. The bird hovered above their heads for a while, chirped a few times, and flew away. However, for some reason, the song of the bird seemed to be very bleak, sad and helpless in Locke.
"It sounds so beautiful, like fairy music!" Xue Lie couldn't help praising.
"This bird is called the phoenix bird, which was presented by the ancient oriental country." Shura said.
"Phoenix bird?" Locke looked at Xue Lie. Xue Lie shook his head.
"The envoy also told a beautiful legend when he presented the phoenix bird. Do you want to hear it?"
"Think! Think!"
"Of course I want to!"
The two responded eagerly, and even the chief bodyguard pricked up his ears.
"A long time ago, there was a bird called Fengqin in the big forest. This bird is very beautiful, with extremely gorgeous feathers and extremely gentle calls, even two tigers fighting fiercely, which will stop when they hear this sound.
The world is proud to have the feather of a phoenix bird, and even the rich emperor is proud to have a dead phoenix bird.
Fengqin birds are very rare, and there are only a few in the world, but they can't "prosper". This is not only because the phoenix bird is very picky about food, but also because the choice of habitat and spouse is extremely strict.
They only ate the red moth whose wings were wet with dew in the morning, and only drank the tears of fireflies at night. They only make nests on yew that are more than a thousand years old, and only use the most gorgeous feathers on their backs to make nests. They only choose another phoenix of the opposite sex as their spouse in their lives, and only lay one egg in their life.
And these are all the rules set by the ancestors of the phoenix bird. Of course, there is nothing wrong, and they do not violate the rules of the ancestors. Of course, they will not make mistakes.
However, other bird families are very prosperous, and only the families of phoenix birds are becoming more and more lonely...
Day by, there is only the last phoenix bird left in the forest. He spent his life in loneliness. One night before he was about to leave the world, his sad songs spread all over the forest——
I once thought
The most beautiful love that has been passed down for thousands of years
I once thought
Don't give up the rainbow in your dream
Friends, you go far away
The glittering galaxy has no edges
Go far away
Our hearts have no distance
My lover goes far away
We will be together soon
Red moths on the grass are dancing
I will never see your shadow again
Sweet dew lost its former sweetness
I am the only one under the moonlight
Our nest is still gorgeous
Only emptiness accompanies me
The numbered stars are still in the sky
Where are you, the person who counts the stars
The breeze still blows gently
Only my sad songs on the earth
I don't want to leave now
I want to measure the distance of our love
I don't want to leave tonight
I will forget all the pain
I don't want to leave tonight
I want to see the sunrise again
I don't want to leave tonight
I want to take another look at the fog in the forest
I don't want to leave now
I still don't understand the meaning of living"
"I got it..." The brisk sound of horses' hoof sprinkled on the shade. There was silence in the car. Shura's beautiful voice told this sad story even more tragically, especially the song in the back, which he sang. Xue Lie wiped his tears, and the bodyguard wiped his nose... Everyone was moved by the story. A sad atmosphere spread in the carriage.
"The phoenix bird is really pitiful!" Xue Lie finally stopped wiping his eyes, because his eyes were red and painful.
Locke was also immersed in sadness, and he wrote down this sad song. Once, I was lonely and wandering like a phoenix bird, so what about now and in the future? Locke took a look at Xue Lie and looked at Shura again.
"But, Queen, what is the meaning of living?" The chief bodyguard also stopped wiping his nose, and he raised questions.
Everyone looks at the queen.
Shura was stunned and then replied, "When you are imprisoned or with hatred, you can find the ultimate meaning of survival. If it were me, I would jump out of those rules and do what I want to do.
Everyone looked confused because they didn't understand.
The Queen's words are so profound! Xue Lie couldn't help but worship the queen. Locke understood that he came with hatred, and the meaning of living was revenge, revenge on Pluto and Zeus.
"Your Majesty, we are here."
The carriage stopped slowly in the voice of the bodyguard.
