[Greek mythology] The troubles of Adonis

The strong hooves of the strong black horse stomped in unison, kicking up dust bursts, knocking on the barren hillock in a low-key and humble manner, awakening the sleepy core of the earth, like thunder rolling in the sky, and then Like the rushing waves of the sea.

They are flying fast, but their pace is unbelievably stable, as if they have been calculated with the most precision, and the error between each fall is only a few millimeters.

In order for His Majesty Pluto, who raises his hands from time to time to mend the cracks in the stone, to sit comfortably without being affected by half-bumps, this is obviously not an easy job, not only requires exquisite control, but also needs to cooperate for a long time to rise tacit understanding.

After running for an unknown amount of time, the heavy snorting breath turned into white mist and was sprayed out contemptuously in a blink of an eye, and the braid-like mane was soaked in hot sweat, and it followed the Mercedes-Benz heavily. The action slapped on the thick neck, slid down the broad chest that undulated like hills, passed by the strong muscles, and dragged out traces of trails.

Although the land under the jurisdiction of Hades is barren and sinister, and is always shrouded in thick haze, it is extremely vast, no smaller than the outside world favored by light.And unlike Zeus, the god king who built the temple on the sky, can look down on the world at any time, grasp every move of all living beings, and is also keen to create a great image of omniscient and omnipotent for himself, if he wants to patrol his territory, he must use divine power to roughly Searching, or you have to take a carriage, which is very laborious and time-consuming.

Therefore, he is more inclined to formulate sufficiently rigorous and standardized rules and regulations, so that the affairs of the Underworld can achieve an orderly effect without his own interference.

Thinking of his younger brother's tricks, Pluto was somewhat absent-minded, he didn't notice that the black horse's standing ears trembled, its eyes glistened, and then its big buttocks covered with a layer of shiny, shiny fur boldly turned a little bit, With a subtle change in direction, head straight to a brand new route...

Adonis, who was exhausted and worried, was just leaning against a newborn dragon blood tree, preparing to close his eyes and meditate while thinking about countermeasures, but when he really closed his eyes, the deep tiredness that was suppressed suddenly disappeared. It spread and grew wantonly, like a huge boulder pressing on the thin eyelids, or like a hungry prisoner who was given delicious food by the arrested, his iron will was continuously disintegrated, and he was willing to become Hypnos who was good at weaving dreams The captives rest here quietly.

Seeing him falling asleep, the surrounding creatures spontaneously rushed to tell each other, making the owl who was about to sing aloud hurriedly shut up, and the flamboyant Philoola also kindly hid her beautiful singing voice for a while, shrinking back and forth. The summer insect no longer sobbed and whimpered, and the willow persuaded the breeze who wanted to dance with it. Even if it wanted to talk again, it only restrained it from whispering occasionally.

The innocent Wanfeng is wholeheartedly infatuated with his radiant face, which is more crystal clear and beautiful than a shining lamp. This time, he got the once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to act as a despicable thief happily.

With the breathless acquiescence of the plants with similar admiration, it gently pushed aside the smooth hair that fell down, with a trace of regret that it could not appreciate the clear and clear black eyes, making the eyes as bright as a bright moon, Snow-white like billowing waves, cheeks as soft as new shoots, the heart-wrenchingly perfect outline, and the even skin texture that makes you drunk, are revealed bit by bit.

How nice it would be if he could give me a gentle kiss!

It's just that this wish is destined not to be fulfilled.The low-lying animal hadn't had time to take a closer look at the handsome and elegant face of the plant god, when the disturbing sound of the earthquake rang out.

Adonis was in a deep sleep, and he didn't wake up for a while, but it wasn't just Wan Feng who wanted to steal money and jade, but also a group of accomplices who were guilty of thieves who were frightened just now.Furious that they hadn't succeeded, they asked the owl with excellent eyesight to fly to a high place to look at it, so as to know how much the vicious culprit who disturbed the situation looked so much that they hated it.

The chubby owl blinked its firefly blue eyes, flapped its wings neatly, and flew to the top of the highest branch.When it took a first glance, it saw a vague black bump appearing in the endless green sea, which was out of place with its surroundings.

"Goo, what's that?"

Taking a closer look, it was recognized that it was four black horses with extraordinary steeds, gathered into a ball of soaring black flames, pulling a black carriage with one heart.

It was full of doubts, and reported the news to the anxious flowers, plants and trees, and they looked at each other, even if they hadn't fully realized the seriousness of the matter, they gradually felt a sense of imminent disaster.

"It's too bad." The oak tree, which has always been the most calm, couldn't help shaking: "The identity of this unwelcome visitor is not mysterious. The gods who can make the arrogant black horse bow its head and worship its master sincerely, except Except for His Majesty Pluto, who is ruthless and selfless, he doesn't think of anything else."

The ignorant Campanula softly said, "But isn't there nothing on the black carriage?"

The oak tree shook its branches and leaves sadly: "Quickly put aside this ridiculous question. They are servants who are loyal to His Majesty, and they are not fools without ears and purpose. The content poured out."

The petals of the pessimistic iris were wet with crystal-clear tears: "I heard that His Majesty who rules the underworld is ruthless and has a great reputation. Even if he adorns his throne with flowers of praise, his heart as hard as stone cannot be moved. Forever will only receive harsh sanctions and the darkness that heralds death."

The white rose and her companion, Qiu Peony, are still reserved, but judging from the slightly trembling leaves, it can be seen that they are not as calm as they appear on the surface.

At one moment it was still full of joy and laughter, harmony and beauty, but the next moment it was destroyed by the hurricane and was on the verge of destruction by the torrential rain and hailstone. They abandoned elegance and boiled up, even the most silent thorns and fennel joined in this fierce discussion about life and death, so as to find a magic way to dispel the haze in this step of despair.

Until this point, the kind-hearted them never thought of disturbing Adonis, who had a hard time resting, with this problem, but they were full of anxiety, and how could they not disturb the plant god who was closely connected with them.

When Adonis had exhausted all his efforts to curb the momentum of the green field from spreading outwards, his mind inevitably suffered a huge shock when he first heard the sad news like a thunderbolt from the blue sky, but in the spirit of the dark horses Amidst the sound of stomping footsteps, he also spontaneously calmed down.

Unlike the animals who only wake up and turn pale with fright when disaster strikes, he knew from the very beginning when the situation got out of control that this big change was destined to be unable to hide from the Lord of Hades for too long, so he didn't deceive himself or others to be lucky. He was only going to wait for the divine power to recover a little and to have a certain amount of self-protection power, then he would go to see the king of Hades through Orpheus, and try to get a piece of grace that allows him to stay.

You can't just leave them behind so easily and just walk away selfishly.

Seeing the carriage getting closer and closer, Adonis quickly sorted out the set of rhetoric he had thought up before, using humility as his armor and worship as his helmet, but he deliberately didn't comfort the flowers and plants without a master, nor did he use gentle Smile to heal haggardness, let them be washed away by worry, so that he can taste the melancholy he has been forced to savor these days.

In a blink of an eye, the four adult black horses were attracted by the fresh and delicious pasture that they had never had the luck to encounter since birth. Throw it aside for the time being, and bury the majestic big head directly in the cluster of extraordinarily white root buds driven by the divine power of the plant god. The nose is filled with a strong floral fragrance, and they can't wait to eat it.

The carriage is empty?

Confusion stained the clear pupils, and the plant god frowned slightly.

No matter how carefully he observes, there is no flaw in this very unreasonable picture, but he still vaguely feels an extremely powerful and frightening scorching gaze cast from there, and at the same time, the almost suffocating cold air The field also proved that all this was beyond his imagination.

The most irrefutable evidence is that the gnawed pastures are being suppressed so that they can't make any painful screams.

After hesitating for a while, he decided to listen to his intuition, and respectfully knelt down on one knee to salute, with a voice like flowing water: "Valent Lord of the Netherworld, the supreme master of the underworld, please grant permission and If you don’t push me, I will explain one or two.”

It was obvious that her heart was beating too fast, but her fair and tender cheeks were not flushed due to embarrassment.The other party didn't speak, and the carriage didn't move forward. The Plant God took this as a tacit consent, and became cruel, and simply took the responsibility on himself.

"The trembling green people are just innocent and ignorant young children at present, completely different from the abruptness I present here, but they have borrowed the kindness of the warm spring breeze, and they have fallen from the cracks like white suet. Instigated by the gods of light, they have no intention of joining the fray. If Your Majesty would give a reward for accepting them, they would be grateful, and regard the harbinger of death as a lifelong belief, staring and shining with admiration The underworld of betrayal."

Although Adonis's words were risky, they were also considered.Leaving aside the fact that such a small group will bring considerable power of faith, judging from Hades' painstaking efforts to repair the Elysee, he speculates that what Pluto is trying to create is bound to be a place of hopelessness and torture Tartarus is a place of contrasting bliss to achieve a balance of post-judgment dispositions.However, for Netherland, which is in charge of being insulated from vitality, the cost of maintaining a vibrant and perfect appearance is not low, and the results are relatively unsatisfactory for the time being.

However, this huge green forest, which is partly from his hands and partly from his own will, is already a finished product full of energy and aura.

Pluto has always been known for his fairness and strictness. If the merits and demerits can be balanced, even if he, a trespasser, cannot escape punishment—mostly he will be expelled, and in the most serious case, he will be thrown into Tartarus to suffer together with the sinful soul— —At least the plants can keep their lives as followers.

Just as he was nervously clenching his heart and anxiously waiting for the final verdict, the ears of the satiated black horses suddenly trembled, and like soldiers who had received an urgent order, they slammed their hooves and thundered. Adonis, who was kneeling on one knee, rushed straight over!

Even if he couldn't feel the sharp killing intent, the Vegetation God's reaction was extremely quick. After a negligible moment, in order to avoid this inexplicable attack, his instinctive actions were faster than the howling wind, and he reached the ground. With a kick on that leg, at the same time, the knee suddenly exerted force, and the slender and flexible body flew to the side, and was instantly covered by the dense forest leaves that wanted to help.

"..."

His Majesty Pluto, who originally wanted to kidnap people directly, found nothing in one fell swoop.
