Chapter 29 postscript

The cloud is lost in the river, the Hanyu is frosted, and the night of the twelve heavy cities is still young. The voice of Bi Leu urging the Cha is about to break, and the dream of moving the couch through the window is long. The star gallops and the purple air opens and closes, and the moon moves Danshan to come to Phoenix. Surprised that there is nowhere to look for the smoke and flowers, a screen of autumn dew with cold and residual makeup. The beauty of the peony, its unrivaled elegance, its national beauty and heavenly fragrance, fascinate all living beings.However, it is precisely because of the many admirers that she has become somewhat secular.Therefore, when literati praised the character of flowers, most of them loved plums and orchids, and denounced peonies as gaudy.The beauty of the country should be the beauty of the city, and the beauty of the city is the disaster. Under this logic, behind the prosperous and prosperous appearance of Peony, there is also an unknown loneliness.

I still remember the legend in the book, when Queen Wu Zetian ordered all the flowers to bloom, all the flowers obeyed, only Peony, the proud Shanshan, resisted the emperor's order and did not obey.For this reason, I once wrote in a poem: "If you compete for the beauty of the country, you will be relegated to Zhaoyang and go to Luoyang." This is the character of peony. The sun's rays always burn the eyes of everyone, so people can't look at it.Those who are amazingly talented always bring out the insignificance of ordinary people, so people can't get close to them. We prefer to focus on people who are closer to us and praise and chant them.We will be envious, we will be jealous of the radiance of the sun, but who can know the helplessness of a lonely strong man standing at the pinnacle of destiny against a more powerful world?Who can understand the loneliness of the national beauty who was relegated to a foreign country because of resisting the power of heaven and earth, and falling alone in the rain?

Envied by the sky, lonely in a corner.Perhaps, fate is the same for Ji Yunshang.In vain, she has the power to rival the gods, and the beauty of the country, but she can't control her own ups and downs, nor can she control her restless soul in pursuit of infinite power.For this, she lost everything. So, she left—even if she was exiled by fate, she was relegated to herself.She went to the frontier to preside over the mandala formation that is said to be able to change the world.In this wild magic circle, she who has been pursuing the strongest power, finally felt peace and harmony - she got the power that is unparalleled for a lifetime, but she forgot the original intention of pursuing this power, her heart that resisted the heaven and the earth The heart calmed down, immersed in this eternal cycle mandala formation.

Just because, she has seen, this power of heaven and earth is also the unspeakable beauty of heaven and earth, it is an ideal, it is life, and it is the ultimate secret of the universe.So, she stayed and used her life to maintain the operation of the magic circle. Just like a peony blooming lonely in the wilderness, she, who saw the beauty of the world, quietly waited in front of this beauty, waiting for the next traveler to enter this realm. The clouds are like flowers, and they are peerless. This is the prosperity of peony, and this is also the loneliness of peony.
