The four sweaty horses rushed all the way and arrived at a sea of lavender flowers fifty miles outside the capital.
Yes, there are only four horses, because including the slaves, there are a total of eight people, and ordinary horses cannot keep up with the speed of the sweaty horses. When everyone is totaled, then two people can ride one horse.
Cheng Shifei and Xiaonu are the same.
Guihai Yidao and the somewhat shy Shangguan Haitang.
Duan Tianya and Liu Shengpiaoxu are the same.
Ye Tai and Princess Yunluo were in high spirits.
Although we set off immediately at noon, several women were packing this and that, bringing this and that.
Shengsheng made everyone arrive here near dusk.
As for the large number of things that the women wanted to bring, they finally asked the servants to bring them all in a carriage, and also ordered them to bring a few more tents.
Everyone is preparing to camp here.
Tie the horses on the grass.
The four women smelled the fragrance of the lavender sea with intoxicated faces, and walked into the sea of flowers with laughter, some lively, some quiet, or some elegant.
Under the golden afterglow of the evening, the star-shaped fluff of purple lavender is also covered with a layer of golden tulle.
The sea of flowers spreads for miles, and a faint fragrance lingers in the air. Some plump flowers fall on the ground. The slender feet of four women step on them. The oil glands hidden in the flower grains burst immediately, and bursts of stronger flowers burst out.
The intoxicating aroma.
The four girls were in front, and Ye Tai and others were behind, stepping into the sea of flowers step by step, following them, wandering in the sea of flowers.
"Mrs. Ye, this lavender is so plump and fragrant! Look at it."
Princess Yunluo jumped up and placed a plump lavender on the tip of Ye Tai's nose.
"Yeah, it smells good."
Suddenly, his figure became transparent for a moment, and then returned to normal.
Those present were all martial arts masters, so naturally they were keenly aware of it.
Cheng Shifei was startled and said, "Brother, you just...disappeared?"
Shangguan Haitang was also surprised and said: "Did you see it too? I thought I was deceived."
Princess Yunluo grabbed his sleeve tightly, with a worried look on her face.
Ye Tai smiled and said: "It's okay, it's just that I have been studying a martial arts recently. Just now in this lavender sea, I suddenly felt something in my heart and made a breakthrough. This martial arts can cause hallucinations on you, just like this light martial arts.
"
As he spoke, he walked slightly on the waves and wandered around in the sea of flowers. His afterimage was everywhere in everyone's eyes, and his figure was blurry.
They then breathed a sigh of relief and joked that he was worthy of being the Emperor of Martial Arts. If he just went out for an outing, he would be able to improve his martial arts.
Only Princess Yunluo looked unhappy because Mrs. Ye gave her the feeling that she might become an immortal at any time.
Everyone else thinks that this is a kind of temperament inherent in the human body after mastering martial arts. Shenhou's temperament is majestic and fierce, while Mrs. Ye's temperament just happens to be as airy as an immortal.
But Princess Yunluo couldn't stand this. Mrs. Ye felt so far away that she always felt that Mrs. Ye was hiding something from her.
Dark night falls.
The afterglow of the evening gradually faded away, and the night sky was first as dark as light ink, then the moon gradually became brighter, followed closely by the stars, dotted all over the sky.
The chirping of insects gradually increased from a few or two to as dense as rain, which was sweet and pleasant to the ear.
Under the stars and the bright moon.
A clear atmosphere.
The four teams of men and women were now in pairs, distributed throughout the sea of flowers, talking to each other, frowning or laughing.
Mrs. Ye sat on the lavender petals, leaning slightly and supporting the ground with her hands.
Princess Yunluo held his arm, admiring the stars in the sky, and said: "Mrs. Ye, this is the happiest, happiest and happiest day for me. I hope this feeling can continue forever."
Mrs. Ye thought for a while and smiled: "If one day my soul is complete and still moved, I will eventually let this feeling continue."
Princess Yunluo wrinkled her nose and said, "I don't really understand, but you promise me something."
Mrs. Ye looked at her with soft eyes and said nothing.
Princess Yunluo tilted her head and said: "Actually, I always feel that you still have something to do. You are like an immortal who suddenly came to this world. I asked the emperor to check again and again, including the God of Iron Dan.
It was the same thing earlier, but I couldn't find anything about your existence.
I want you to promise me that even if you have something to do, take me with you. Even if you can't take me with you, you will definitely come back one day!"
Ye Tai remained silent, smiled, sat up and stretched, his figure became transparent again, and Yun Luo was so frightened that he hugged him quickly.
"Don't practice this kind of Kung Fu again!"
Mrs. Ye rubbed her head and said, "If you say you don't want to practice, then you won't practice. Then I'll tell you a story, Yun Luo."
Yun Luo got into her arms and said humbly: "Okay, you tell it. No matter how unpleasant the story is, I will definitely keep it in my heart."
Mrs. Ye looked at the starry sky and said slowly:
"Actually, did you know that hundreds of thousands of years ago or more, human lifespan was actually very short, only twenty or thirty years? People who were forty or fifty years old were considered extremely long-lived.
Moreover, there was no civilization at that time. People lived on raw materials, drank blood, had no clothes to cover their bodies, and lived in poverty. Since birth, many people had to face wolves, tigers, and leopards, and the death of their loved ones. Therefore, many people had difficulty knowing what happiness was throughout their lives...
But in that world, there was a god. No one knew how many years he lived. People only knew that their ancestors had believed in that god for generations.
Not only does he have a long lifespan, but he also possesses magical powers. He sometimes appears in front of people and helps people drive away tigers and wolves.
Because in the boundless sea of flowers in his life, no one could find him through the sea of flowers, he could only appear by himself, so people also called him the God of Flowers.
For such a god, people should be in awe and worship him. However, in the history of mankind, an anomaly appeared. He was the king of that generation.
Because the King of Humans has the right to directly talk to God, he asked God angrily, why can you live for so long, still have divine power, and can do anything, but we can live in pain for decades and turn into a pile of
Bones?"
When Yun Luo heard this, he couldn't help but interrupt: "This human king is so bad! He doesn't know how to be grateful at all. God protects them and can destroy them. It's so stupid. Such a person can actually become a
emperor."
Mrs. Ye stroked her hair and said with a smile: "Although I agree with what you said, this is human thinking. In fact, the god is very kind. He may also feel that he is too lonely to live alone for such a long time.
Already.
So he answered the human king and said: You are right. I sympathize with you. You are living like hair and drinking blood, and you are suffering from birth, old age, sickness and death. But it is too difficult to become a god. Even I am not capable of it.
Let's do this. As long as any of you humans can live to be a hundred years old and be happy for ninety-nine of the hundred years, I will give him a part of my divine power.
After his death, he turned into a star in the sky and became a demigod. He lived forever in heaven, but after becoming a god, he could never come to the mortal world."
"ah……"
Yun Luo frowned and said: "This is too difficult. Just living to a hundred years old is already a blessing, but having to be happy for ninety-nine years is simply embarrassing! And you can never come to the mortal world.
What’s the use of living for so long?”
Ye Tai smiled and said: "Listen to what I have to say. As you said, even now, if you want to live to be a hundred years old, it is a very auspicious thing, let alone the era when you were eating hair and drinking blood.
So, after thousands of years, no one has ever lived to that age and can be happy for almost a lifetime, which is even more unrealistic.
About ten thousand years passed like this, and a brave warrior, with the help of his wife, became the king of the new generation.
The couple is extremely loving, and they are both willing to sacrifice themselves for each other, even if it means their throne or even their lives.
But the good times didn't last long. A few years after the Human King succeeded to the throne, a plague began to spread in his tribe, and no wizard could cure it. The Human King could only order that all the dead be buried underground.
The organizational plague is rampant.
But unfortunately, one night, the King of Humans discovered that his wife was also infected with the plague and was vomiting blood. The next day, she became seriously ill.
The human king was heartbroken, but he did not want to just bury his wife in the ground, and from then on, heaven and man would be separated forever.
But as a human king, he couldn't let his wife's plague spread to other people in the tribe, so he thought of God.
He used his rights as a human king to beg God to save his wife.
The god responded quickly. He said that his divine power did not have the power to cure this plague, and asked the king to bury his wife, otherwise the plague would spread and the entire tribe would be destroyed.
Of course the human king was not willing to give up. He cried and continued to beg, saying that he was willing to give up his throne and his life just to save his wife's life.
The god was silent. He looked at the human king who had smashed his head and asked him to save his wife's life. He sighed and said: Well, although my divine power cannot cure this plague, I have a flower garden in which I can plant some seeds.
There are nine thousand nine hundred and ninety-nine flowers of different types.
Each type of flower has different effects, some are highly poisonous, some can resurrect the dead, and some can turn people into animals...
But the kind of flower that can resurrect the dead is also very precious to me. I can't tell you which one it is.
I will send you to that flower garden. You can take away only one flower. When you come back, you can give it to your wife.
But after that, regardless of whether your wife is resurrected or not, you will become my servant and a star in the sky, working for me forever."
Yun Luo pressed against Mrs. Ye's chest and couldn't help complaining again: "There are nine thousand nine hundred and ninety-nine kinds of flowers, but there is only one that can resurrect the dead. How is it possible to find this? This god is really good. He always gives some to people."
problem."
Ye Tai shook his head and said: "No! In fact, it is true that the Human King has found the flower that can give life to human flesh and bones.
Earlier, as you said, he was searching hard in the flower garden, finding night during the day, and then finding day from night.
Until he learned from God that his wife was dead, he collapsed in front of all kinds of flowers.
However, after sitting in the flower garden all night with his heart filled with despair, he regained hope, that is, he must find that flower.
Finally, after three days of searching, he firmly picked a lavender plant.
Seeing that he had made his choice, God sent him back to his dead wife.
Piaoxu also said that the flower language of lavender is waiting for love, just like he was waiting for his wife to be healed, so the King of Humans resolutely chose this flower.
He was very lucky. This flower was indeed the elixir. God specially transformed the elixir into the shape of lavender, which was a hint to the human king.
His wife was resurrected, and they both cried with joy. But then, the human king must keep his promise, become a servant of God, go to heaven, and cannot come down to earth forever.
The two people who had just reunited were about to be separated forever.
After God took away the human king and turned him into a star in the sky, the human king's wife also collapsed. She was unwilling to live alone like this, nor was she willing to spend every day without her lover.
But before she committed suicide, she suddenly thought of the legend about God that no one had realized for tens of thousands of years.
That is, if you live to be a hundred years old and be happy for ninety-nine years, you can turn into a star and go to heaven.
She recalled her life. Since she was a child, she had been the daughter of the old man Wang and the princess of the tribe, so she spent almost every day happily. After she met her husband at the age of sixteen, she was even more sweet every day.
Honey, I don’t know what pain is at all.
So the wife of the King of Humans put down the dagger. She no longer insisted on committing suicide for her love. She made the decision that she must live happily to a hundred years old, go to heaven, and reunite with her lover."
Yun Luo looked a little uncomfortable and asked: "Then she will happily live to be a hundred years old, turn into a star, and reunite with her lover?"
Ye Tai smiled and said: "I don't know. Only you know the answer, Yun Luo."
Yun Luo didn't know why and said: "Only I know? What do you mean?"
Mrs. Ye did not explain, but sat up, looked into the distance, and said, "Yunluo, I saw a particularly beautiful flower. I'll pick it for you."
"kindness……"
Yun Luo suddenly had a bad premonition. Looking at the erratic back of Ye Tai who was picking flowers for himself, tears burst into his face for no reason, but he did not stop him.
Just stared blankly.
Mrs. Ye came two feet away, where there was a particularly full and fragrant purple lavender.
Ye Tai picked this flower, turned around with a bright smile, and wanted to hand the flower to Yun Luo.
However, his whole body rose into the air uncontrollably, and his figure gradually disappeared.
The lavender fluttered over and fell into the hands of Yun Luo, whose face was full of tears. She stared blankly at the deserted sea of lavender flowers in front of her, holding her hands in her hands.
She read the last words from Mrs. Ye's lips: "I will turn into stars and protect you from illness and disaster forever. I hope you can reunite with me a hundred years later and still be the girl you are today."
She was almost suffocated and heartbroken. Finally, she raised her head to face the stars in the sky and choked in a low voice: "Mrs. Ye, please come and play in my dreams often..."
"Yun~~~Luo~~~"
In the distance, Cheng Shifei and Xiao Nu were waving to this side.
Yun Luo looked over, and Cheng Shifei said loudly with a smile: "Where's big brother? There is a fun place here, you guys come over and play!"
Yun Luo seemed to have thought of something. She wiped her eyes hard, swallowed the pain in her throat, and said happily: "Well! He has turned into a star and will be back soon. I will come to play with you first, Cheng Shi Fei,
