Chang'e stole the elixir

 

Chang'e stole the elixir

 

Kunlun Mountain is a large mountain in the west. According to legend, it was the imperial capital of Emperor Yan and Emperor Huang, and the Queen Mother of the West also lived here. Hou Yi came to Kunlun Mountain, and after receiving the elixir of immortality presented by the Queen Mother of the West, he went home happily.

Agudengba said to his friend Azhuo:

As soon as Hou Yi got home, he showed the elixir of immortality to his wife Chang'e and said, "Now are you comfortable? Tomorrow is a good day. Let's take the elixir of immortality presented by the Queen Mother of the West together."

He also said to Chang'e: The Queen Mother of the West told me that a person who takes the elixir of immortality can ascend to heaven. If two people take it together, they can both live forever.

Chang'e looked at the package of fairy medicine and felt very happy. Look at Hou Yi again. Hou Yi's face is dark and thin. Looking at his tired look, you can tell that he went to find the elixir this time and suffered great hardships and fatigue.

Hou Yi was indeed very tired. As soon as he got home, he didn't bother to eat or drink water. He sat there and fell asleep after a while. ​

When Chang'e saw her husband looking so exhausted, she couldn't help but think of the days after he left for the Kunlun Mountains: After Hou Yi left, Emperor Yao and the local people often visited her and often brought her rice, noodles, fruits, vegetables and other delicacies. things, life is much better than before. But Chang'e always felt that the human world was far worse than the Heavenly Palace. She wholeheartedly wanted to return to the Heavenly Palace. ​

"If two people eat it, they can live forever; if one person eats it, they can ascend to heaven." Hou Yi's words echoed in her ears, and in her mind, the fairies dancing in the heavenly palace, the palace maids playing music, the cooks eating, etc. After waiting for the scene, she let out a long sigh and said, "Although life on earth is good, how can it be compared with the palace in heaven?"

Chang'e couldn't help but reach out for the medicine bag. As soon as my hand touched the packet of medicine, my heart could not help but beat fast. She looked at Hou Yi again. Hou Yi was sleeping soundly. ​

"What should we do? Should we return to the Heavenly Palace or stay in the human world?" Chang'e kept murmuring in her heart. She couldn't make up her mind for a moment. Looking at Hou Yi again, he was sleeping soundly with a smile on his face. Chang'e felt a little fever on her face for a moment. The hand trembled and then retracted.

Chang'e calmed down for a moment, reached for the paper package, and was about to open it. "Chang'e..." Hou Yi murmured in his dream. This sudden sentence made Chang'e shiver. She looked at Hou Yi, who was still asleep and said intermittently, "Tomorrow is Grain Day... The two of us will eat together..." The previous words could not be heard clearly. It turned out that Hou Yi was talking in his sleep.

Chang'e was distraught, so she stood up, walked around the room, then sat at the table, opened the medicine bag without raising her head, took out the elixir, and quickly put the elixir to her mouth. As soon as the elixir entered her mouth, it was sweet and cool, and she quickly swallowed it.

Chang'e walked out of the room, and the round moon hung in the sky for half a day. Before she could decide what to do at this moment, she felt her body flying lightly, rising higher and higher...

"Where to go?" Chang'e thought.

It is not appropriate to return to Heavenly Palace at this time. If she hadn't found someone to take care of things in advance, the Emperor of Heaven would not forgive her, and the gods would laugh at her. Chang'e was very confused at this time. Where should she go? She couldn't make up her mind. At this time, she rose higher and higher, and was not far from the Moon Palace.

Chang'e didn't have time to think too much. Suddenly a thought flashed through my mind: "There is no other place to go. Let's hide in the Moon Palace for a few days first."

Just like that, she flew towards the round moon.

There is a palace in the moon called Guanghan Palace. Although Guanghan Palace is magnificent on the outside, it is extremely deserted inside.

At this time, facing the loneliness, Chang'e was very disappointed and discouraged, but she had already arrived and could only stay here. But the longer the time passes, the more unbearably deserted it becomes. Only then did she think of the many benefits her husband Hou Yi had given her, the joy of family life, and felt that everything she had experienced in the world was worthy of condolences. She regretted that she didn't realize how valuable it was when they lived together! She blamed herself again. If we had been more open-minded beforehand and had taken the medicine separately, both of us would be immortal. Wouldn't it be better than coming here to live in this deserted moon palace by ourselves! ​

Only then did Chang'e truly regret. How much she wanted to return to the human world and live with her husband, but it was already too late. From then on, Chang'e lived alone in the moon palace.

Agudengba said to his friend Azhuo: In order to win love, Chang'e used her family power to defraud Hou Yi out of marriage. In order to return to heaven, Chang'e swallowed the elixir of immortality presented to Houyi by the Queen Mother of the West, betrayed her husband, and eloped to the Moon Palace. What can be admired about such a woman? The strange thing is that Chang'e has become the most admirable fairy in the hearts of Chinese people, and every Mid-Autumn Festival is her holy day. What’s interesting is that the rocket named after her is on its way to the moon!

Agudengba sang a song "Chang'e Abandoned Her Husband":

 

Chang'e flying to the moon is a beautiful legend.

But it is also a story about a woman abandoning her husband.

 

A woman who betrays her husband is beautiful but ugly at heart.

Will do anything to win someone's love;

Marrying such a resentful woman,

Marriage will become very empty and boring.

A ruthless and greedy woman can only torment,

Marriage can also enter a vicious cycle.

No man can do it,

Continue to live where you are with this kind of person.

Hou Yi forgot about that marriage from then on.

Only Chang'e began to regret alone.

 

When your romantic love has been lost,

The arrogance of the past will corrode the soul,

Sadness cannot be exchanged for a true love life.

Such a woman becomes a tragic protagonist.

When we look at the moon during the Mid-Autumn Festival and pray for reunion,

Don’t forget why Chang’e lived alone in Toad Palace.
