[Greek mythology] The troubles of Adonis

There are stars shining in the vast and endless night sky, but they can never compete with the silver and luxurious moonlight; the golden sands surrounding the blue sea are brilliant, but they can never match the elegance and luxury of the gold seeds picked out by skillful hands; The jewels on the majestic and luxurious crown robe are brilliant, but they have never been able to match the honor and eternal inheritance symbolized by the crown.

Theseus knew very well that the blood of a brave and militant fighter flowed in his body. It would boil because of shaking the kingship, endure because of constantly conquering challenges, and be fearless because of creating legends.When he opened his eyes, only respectable gods and proud heroes could be reflected in them; when he opened his arms, only eternal friendship and solid friendship could be stepped into his heart; when he swung the hilt of his sword, only The shield raised by the enemy.

Beauty is nothing but a luxurious treasure wrapped in gold, a generous gift of royal power, with a delicate forehead that only the winner deserves to kiss.However, when the years have carved grooves on the flawless cheeks, it is the gilded stubborn stone that has been stripped of its outer clothes, the shining sword has been stained with rust, and the yellow and wilting petals are ashamed to stand on the ground. The emerald green branches, the appearance of entering the old age will naturally no longer match the flourishing romance.

well!These are all prejudices that make him feel ashamed at this moment!Just like a good fisherman only knows the depth of the lake, but never the vastness of the ocean; a good singer only knows the preferences of the nobles, but never the thoughts of the gods; A treasury; those who have never tasted the fine wine made by Dionysus do not know that their vision is narrow, and they think that the barley tea and bad wine are good nectar and jade dew.

There is a kind of beauty that is destined to last forever. It is the beauty that cannot be looted by the hands of time. The poets can't help but abuse their praises to praise their demeanor; The color gives off fragrance; it is the pith that roses are jealous of. It has a strong fragrance, a beauty that does not fade away, and an invisible elegance that is difficult to retain even in memory.

Everyone knows that Pluto is rich and abundant, but they don't know that compared to the treasures he hides in the treasury, the treasures he really pays attention to are just a drop in the ocean.The gloomy decoration and the gloomy secluded residence only make him more radiant, just like the strings strung together with precious emerald stones, even if they are ordinary, they will not lose their unique brilliance in the slightest.He must be nature's proudest creation, its most well-intentioned subject.In the eyes of the world, the unsurpassed beauty of Helen is nothing but a crudely made imitation, a haggard and rotten pretense, and the most beautiful woman in the world has to hide in shame when she sees him, for fear of becoming a public laughing stock.Even a blind man who cannot see will not confuse the rough and ugly stone with the round and plump pearl.The songs sung by poets are always the same. For example, the beauties painted by painters are often similar. How can the majestic Hailan be painted vividly with careful embellishments?

Theseus obsessively followed the beautiful circles of the eyes and lips with his eyes, and outlined the delicate outlines of his hands and feet with his mind. He couldn't help lamenting deeply that rich and beautiful things are always plundered by brutal violence, just like fragrant buds that cannot escape the erosion of poisonous insects.Should have won more praises and eulogies, and received endless love and pursuit, but had to accompany the gloomy king all day long, was coerced by the violence backed by magical powers, and the fresh stamens were next to the stale souls of the dead. Like a young man in his prime who died for no reason and was buried in a desolate solitary grave, it affects sorrow.

There are faint smiles on the condensed skin of the beautiful cheeks, which must be an elegant favor worthy of sipping slowly; there is only a tiny poplar branch pinned between the glorious strands of hair, which is more elegant than jade and gold. Silent thin lips are better than thousands of beautiful sentences; there is no need for lead decorations, nor is it smudged by lip smudges, the deep black eyes flicker slightly, and the dark robe is safely dragged on the ground, revealing a little Her wrist was as moist as ivory, and as white as late snow, with its own gentle radiance, even the pure-hearted Feng Ling couldn't help but bow and kiss.

A sharp sword would have to overcome countless obstacles if it wanted to penetrate the chest, but Shuli's incarnate soldier could drive straight in without needing to be informed.But although he is unattainable to himself, his rival in love is within easy reach.The harsh king dominates the quiet beauty, the bleak winter snatches the gentle spring sound, and the dark hidden prison dominates the smiling beauty.

Just abandoning the sourness of looking and sighing, and asking for nothing, can make the supreme master of this palace passionate, plant the flexible root in the heart of the indifferent rock, and implant the beauty into the authoritative green eyes, which is completely different. The temperament is graceful and generous standing beside him, and the firm love does not prove the mellow and harmonious melody.

Can't wait for the intruder's answer for a long time, but seeing him greedily greedy the beauty of the Queen of the Underworld with his eyes, the eyes of the Hades darkened, and he directly ordered the subordinate Shinto: "Since they are here, let them stay. .”

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Thanadus couldn't hear the hidden meaning, saluted respectfully, and gleefully dragged away the city lord who was already out of his wits before he died—since he was tired of life, he would stay permanently as the deceased.

At first, Adonis just looked at the living hero out of curiosity, but after waiting patiently for a while, they not only didn't say anything, but also stared at him blankly.Recently, he has been asked for compensation many times by Pluto, who claims to be sensitive and fragile, and he is no longer as dull and ignorant as before.

"Your Majesty." Seeing that the situation was not good, Adonis quickly got up and took a few steps back to prevent him from using this excuse to bully him again, but the address inadvertently revealed his nervousness again: "I think you know very well that this Not my fault."

"Yeah." Hades responded casually, but got up involuntarily, and approached a few steps in a blink of an eye.

Adonis' shoulders had already touched the solid wall, his tall and burly body blinked to block the route ahead, and a large shadow completely enveloped him.The plant god struggled to his death and said: "... If you want to recover that debt, I would like to be an endless witness, but it shouldn't be pinned on me."

Hades: "Yeah."

He should be refreshing and relaxed, and the kiss was fiery and decisive, and he tested it himself.Fortunately, he accepted the truth when he saw what was good, and did not make the Empress of the Underworld's weakness worse. After the sharp and strong attack, he retreated politely and gently.

When Adonis couldn't escape being kissed, he was helplessly prepared to be torn apart and eaten, and he never thought that he would stop abruptly. Fortunately, he also felt a little inconceivable about this rare restraint.

Hades had a subtle observation and sharply pointed out: "You are very surprised."

Adonis quickly covered it up: "I'm just trying to figure out how to word my thank you."

"You know that too." Hades said suggestively, "I never like to hear you thank me with words."

Adonis complimented, dumbfounded: "Be a little more lenient with me, who is so poor, and you won't lose a little bit. I'm already defeated, so why chase after me?"

Hades: "Not necessarily."

Adonis thought for a while, and held his hand flatteringly.

Hades still stared at him for a moment: "This is not enough."

Adonis feigned anger: "You are going to restore your greedy face again."

Hades said solemnly: "If you don't make it clear, and don't agree to the conditions in a proper manner, the tyrant of Hades will swear on the name of our son Styx——I won't let you go easily here."

Adonis raised his eyebrows: "Okay, then please show a calm judgment and take a look at the difficulties I face: first of all, you want to gain a well-founded reputation, and later blame me for restraining you and making you lose money." Is it really worth any compensation from me for the incredible wealth and the treacherous practices that benefited from these two ends?"

Hades said sincerely: "Even if I exchange all the treasures in the sky, I can't hand over the only beautiful jade, but because I want to act according to your face, I have to give up this precious power that belongs to me for a while. give up."

Adonis couldn't help laughing: "I don't know when I have such authority, so beautiful that I can order the master of the underworld at will."

Hades said in a deep voice, "I have always been loyal only to you."

Adonis pursed his lips, trying to suppress his smile, but he couldn't do it. He simply stopped covering up, stood on tiptoe slightly, wrapped one hand around his firm and slender neck, and exerted a little force to get the chord sound. Pluto also leaned down and exchanged the sweetest and longest kisses with the warm lips.

After the kiss, Hades concluded with a hoarse voice: "You are very happy."

Adonis didn't deny it: "Of course I'm happy."

Hades: "Are you satisfied with the love words I just said?"

Adonis was amused by his serious tone of asking for opinions, and looked back at him with a smile, and said frankly: "Well, since you must ask clearly, I don't want to be vague anymore. I deny it. I am really glad that you are handsome, high-ranking, impeccable, famous, and funny; I am also glad that this love is not intruded by suspicion, not only is it protected by trust, but also loyal and passionate."

Hades stared at him without blinking, the corners of his lips gradually raised.

"You are far more perfect than I thought."

After getting the poplar wooden box of the most beloved jewelry, after carefully hiding it in the warm and safe heart, fastened the heavy loyalty locks of marriage, and then slowly eased up.
