Chapter 21: A Dream of a Thousand Years
"Xi Chen, I can roughly understand the stories recorded on this wall." Lin Feng and Yuan Xiao Chen were having a conversation, "I took the text first, and after returning to the county town, I sent it back to experts who know how to translate it."
"Okay, look, there are some pattern symbols here." Yuan Shichen responded, while continuing to groping for the strange patterns on the stone wall.
............
The night became deeper and everyone fell asleep one after another. The wind and sand that was raging above the head finally calmed down, and a cold moon gradually emerged in the sky.
The blue sky, the bright moon, and the sound of sadness in the humble sky.
I can't help but sigh that "those who are today do not see the moon in ancient times, but the moon once shines on the ancients."
Time flies, but I expected that the burial of this stone chamber for thousands of years was restored to the world today.
Relying against the corner of the wall, the cool touch of the stone wall was pouring into Yuan Hakchen's body, as if the stone wall was breathing with his ups and downs.
............
Half dreaming and half awake, Yuan Shichen seemed to see a middle-aged woman with a beautiful appearance and exotic charm sitting next to the square table in the corner of the wall.
The middle-aged woman dressed simply, with a slightly pink complexion, a high and narrow nose bridge, a pointed chin, a pretty eyebrows, and a light pursed thin lips, handsome and melancholy.
Three sergeants in armor and majestic expressions stood opposite the woman.
"Princess Hanyue, we are the personal guards of the general. This time we came thousands of miles away, the general ordered me to hand this thing over to the princess in person." The leader said respectfully on the ground with one knee, holding a wooden box in both hands.
"I am no longer a princess, please call Hanyue directly." The woman took the wooden box and said calmly.
"The princess has a noble status, so how dare the villain usurpate the enemy?" The leader replied quickly.
Princess Hanyue didn't say anything, but just silently opened the wooden box, and a treasure green stone lay quietly in it. It was the meteorite sample that triggered Yuan Shichen and his party to come to the Niya ruins!
"The general said that this strange stone was a corner that the craftsman carved from the [Flying Stone from the Sky]. He hoped to leave this stone to the princess for his longing." The leader continued.
Princess Hanyue looked at the strange stone in the box with a sad expression. After a long time, she closed the wooden box with a sigh and asked: "After fifteen years of separation, I don't know that the general will be fine in the near future."
The soldier at the head pondered for a moment and said slowly: "The general returned to his hometown before the New Year. Although Luoyang is prosperous, it is just that things change. It is no longer a world that the general is familiar with. His relatives are not here, and they are strangers to the road, and they miss each other... "
Princess Hanyue still listened quietly to the sergeant's statement without saying a word.
The leader of the soldiers finally put his head in a sad expression and said, "General, he has passed away on a rainy night several months ago."
She was still silent, but Princess Hanyue seemed even more sad, her eyes were filled with color, as if she had grown much older in this moment.
"At the time of death, the general mentioned His Highness the Princess several times. In addition to this strange stone, the general also had something to entrust to convey. "The leader continued to say, "Every time the general recalled the past, he had regrets. I hope the princess would forgive her feelings and forget her old things, and could understand her."
"Time passes, and people are gone. The general knows that I have never been angry..." Princess Hanyue talks to herself in secret with sadness.
"Princess, please take care of yourself..." the soldiers comforted each other.
"I'm sorry, Hanyue expressed her gratitude again." Princess Hanyue said.
In the darkness, time seems to have passed for a long time.
In the stone room, the wind was serene and left melancholy.
Sitting alone quietly, companioning with loneliness and loneliness.
I looked at the glitzy clouds indifferently, and with the passing soul, I was lost little by little in the long and confused thoughts.
Perhaps only at this time can you truly feel your own existence.
The glitz of memory, the vicissitudes of time,
The past that has gone far away is no longer...
