The Fall of the Golden Empire (Novel) (Volume 1) "Bloody Sunset" by Zhang Baotong
Because the couple had a daughter in middle age, they considered it a blessing from heaven and doted on their two precious daughters. What makes the old couple happy and proud is that the two sisters are now in their prime, more beautiful than mountain flowers and more elegant than begonias. And these two goddesses have long forgotten their identities.
These two sisters, the elder sister is Gu Lan and the younger sister is Bresbitu. Both names are Quechua names for grass. Because both sisters are very beautiful, people can't tell who is more beautiful or charming. They are like spring orchids and autumn chrysanthemums, each with its own characteristics.
Gu Lan goes to the stone pond in the nearby valley every morning to collect water, because the mountain spring flows from the high mountain top along the gravel stream and gathers in the stone pond. The water drips into beads, which is cool and sweet. One day, she had just filled the water jug and stopped to wash herself. A young man happened to be passing by and saw Gu Lan's beautiful figure. He couldn't help but be amazed.
This handsome young man lives across the valley and his name is Enyiwaya. The young man was attracted by Gu Lan's stunning beauty and couldn't help but stop to chat with her. And Gu Lan was also fascinated by the boy's handsomeness. As a result, the two fell in love and talked happily. Although they didn't speak for long, both of them left an indelible impression on each other's hearts. After that, Enyiwaya would come to the stone pond every morning to chat with Gu Lan. Like all young boys and girls who have just begun to fall in love, the seeds of love began to sprout and blossom in their hearts.
One day, the infatuated young man told Gu Lan that after the crops were harvested, his parents would bring the betrothal gift to her house to propose marriage. After hearing this, Gu Lan felt a kind of incomparable happiness and joy, and had longed for this for a long time. She secretly hides the sweetness of love in her heart, fearing that her parents and sister will find out and take her happiness away. At the same time, she is secretly preparing the decorations for the wedding. For half a year, the two of them had never stopped having trysts by the pond.
One day, Gu Lan accompanied her mother to a nearby small village to visit relatives and friends. When I came back the next day, the sweet tryst was suddenly interrupted. Enyiwaya never comes to the pond again, and seems to always be avoiding her. Gu Lan was puzzled by this unusual change. She didn't know what she had done wrong to make him angry, because she had never hurt him or even made him unhappy. She really didn't know what happened to Enyiwaya.
It turned out that the coquettish and wanton goddess Tula Soturte happened to pass by the valley on the day Gu Lan went out. Seeing the crystal clear water in the spring pond, she took off her clothes and jumped into the pond to wash up. Just at this time, Enyiwaya rushed over anxiously to have a tryst with her sweetheart. She thought it was Gu Lan taking a bath there, so she crept over to scare her. For the Incas, it was natural for men and women to bathe naked in open channels or ponds. Not only would they not feel embarrassed when they looked at each other, they would bathe in the water together.
Tula Sotourt noticed someone approaching, so he secretly glanced at the reflection in the water, and saw a handsome young man. He couldn't help but feel excited, and stood up from the water, taking in a clear view of his charming and crystal clear body. The earth appeared in front of the young man.
Enyiwaya discovered that the person bathing was not Gu Lan. She was so embarrassed that her face turned red, she was at a loss and couldn't say a word. But in his eyes, this beautiful woman who seduced and teased him could not be compared with the quiet and dignified Gu Lan. He calmed down a little, then turned around and left without making a sound. Seeing the young man turning around and walking away without any interest, Tula Soturte was so angry that he gritted his teeth. Then, as soon as the lust of this slutty goddess appeared, she thought, "Let's see how I can deal with you."
At this time, she saw the rain god Bresbitu coming here to fetch water, but Enyiwaya turned around and came back. The debauched goddess turned her eyes and took notice.
Enyiwaya accidentally came to Brisbitu who was fetching water and wooed her. Not to mention that Brisbitu didn't know the relationship between Enyiwaya and Gulan. It is difficult to escape the magic wielded by Tula Sotourt. Brisby was moved by the young man's affection and opened his love heart to him. The goddess lost no time in using her magic to make the two boys and girls fall in love and become entwined.
When the slutty goddess was about to leave, she suddenly found that her feet were pulled by something, and she couldn't break free even with all her strength. Only then did she see Chuzkut standing behind him holding Pachacamac's god-killing sword. She immediately knelt on the ground and begged for mercy and forgiveness, promising not to do anything wanton again. Chuzkut was so angry that she was directing this unfinished human-god tragedy, and shouted, "You monster, you don't think it's enough to cause harm to the world, and you actually cast a magic spell on your own sisters. It's so hateful." Your body still has medicinal uses. Let me punish your lust and leave your body for others to collect as medicine!" After saying that, he stabbed her chest with a sword, dug out her heart, and turned it into Putting a bright red gem into the deerskin pouch, he turned around and glanced at the two young men sleeping in each other's arms. He couldn't help but sigh and left quietly. Because he has no choice but to deal with irreversible things.
A grass grew in the place where the licentious goddess Tula Soturte was executed. Later the Indians called it "coca". Taking a little can refresh you and cure diseases, and taking a lot can cause lustful thoughts, because it is still there. Some of the venom of the slutty goddess.
Since eating the forbidden fruit, Enyiwaya and Blaise Bittu have become more intimate and loving, and often have secret trysts together. The young man decided to get married immediately in order to assume his responsibility to Brisbitu.
One night, Churka's family sat around the campfire and chatted as usual. Bresbitou marveled at Enyiwaya and revealed that they were planning to get married soon. After Gu Lan heard this, he suddenly felt a thunderbolt from the blue, five thunders struck his head, and his eyes went dark for a while. Her sister's words were like a heavy hammer on her chest, leaving her breathless. Fortunately, she was good at controlling herself, tried her best to hide the huge pain in her heart, and got through it in silence. She finally understood that Enyiwaya's sudden alienation from her turned out to be a new love. The old couple did not notice why the eldest daughter was so silent because the news was sudden to them. In the past, Gu Lan always hid her happiness in her heart and no one knew about it. Now she can only endure the pain and suffering.
Soon, Enyiwaya and Brace Bittu got married and started a happy family. They were carefree and their life was as sweet as the clear spring in the valley. However, for Gu Lan, the joy has passed and the pain is far away.
Soon, a little boy was born in Enyiwaya's family, but the child's mother's condition worsened day by day due to difficulty in giving birth and her body could not recover. Gu Lan is also slowly withering like a flower that has lost the sunshine and rain. The Churka couple discovered that their two daughters were already dying. The Rain God was picked up by Chuzkut and returned to the home of the gods, but where was Gu Lan?
Enyiwaya lost his wife and his child lost his mother. However, Gulan began to regain his youthful vitality under the careful care of his parents.
Now Enyiwaya has reached a point of despair. I am alone with no one to take care of my children. He is determined to make up for the trauma caused to Gu Lan, hoping to regain her love and marry her. He thought that only Gu Lan could fill the vacancy left by his dead wife and take care of the children like a biological mother.
Gu Lan recovered day by day. One morning, she was basking in the sun in the yard. Enyiwaya came out of the room, fell at her feet, and burst into tears. While crying, he talked about his love, wanted to eliminate the resentment in Gu Lan's heart, and begged her for forgiveness.
Seeing the heartless man's appearance, Gu Lan suddenly felt an indescribable disgust towards his past passion for committing himself to each other. She said she would never accept any affection from him again until she died.
Enyiwaya appealed to his parents-in-law again, and then the two old people learned from him the behavior of his son-in-law's change of heart and the reason why Gu Lan was getting thinner recently. They severely reprimanded the heartless man, but when they saw that he was ready to make up for his mistakes and marry Gu Lan, they forgave him.
One night, everyone got together again. Enyiwaya suddenly said, "A child cannot live without a mother, and for a child, the best mother is Gu Lan. Parents, please allow me to marry Gu Lan?"
"Selfish and despicable." Gu Lan stood up suddenly and shouted angrily, "From now on, as long as this man and his children are here, I will never enter the house." After saying that, he turned around and left the house.
That night, Enyiwaya was repeatedly urged by her parents-in-law. Having to return to his parents' home, Gu Lan didn't return home until he disappeared into the night.
Soon, Gu Lan fully recovered and became more beautiful than ever.
Enyiwaya has never given up her efforts to re-enter Gu Lan's heart. He always took advantage of and created various opportunities to go to her home to see her. Gu Lan avoided him indifferently, like the god of plague.
Enyiwaya's constant entanglement made Gulan more and more tired of this life of hiding in Tibet. She wanted to be freed, so she asked the witch for help. She told the witch her harrowing experience and said she never wanted to see this man.
"Then what are you going to do?" Chuzkut turned into a witch and asked her.
"I want to become the kind of grass that my name symbolizes with your help." Gu Lan replied.
"Good idea, what else do you want?"
"I want to become a grass that is so deeply rooted that no amount of human power can pull it up."
"I can give you what you want, but can you bring me what I ask for?"
"Whatever you want, just ask."
"Okay, weave me a shawl dyed with various colors. I also want five hummingbird hearts, 50,000 delicate leaves and a meteorite polished by my ancestors."
"Yes, I will definitely bring it to you." Gu Lan promised happily.
Gu Lan went through all kinds of hardships and finally handed everything into the hands of the witch. The witch said in surprise: "It's really a painful lesson. I've lost all my heart." Then he said: "Now, everything is ready. In the future, as long as you think it's appropriate, When the time comes, as long as you silently recite in your heart, 'Chuzkut, please appear,' then you will get your wish."
One morning, Enyiwaya suddenly appeared in front of her like a ghost while carrying water in Gulan. She wanted to run, but Enyiwaya hugged her waist tightly, and no matter how hard she struggled, she could not get away. Gu Lan had no choice but to mutter silently, "Chuzkut, please show your spirit." At this time, a voice that only she could hear rang in her ears, "You finally repented." Then, she felt like something was being carried over to her. Dragging into the air, at this point, she threw herself into the arms of God Chuzkut as if waking up from a dream. Chuzkut also pulled the rain god hidden behind him, and then hugged them tightly in his arms. Afraid they would fly away again. But the two goddesses have already experienced the pain, so why don't they give up?
The three gods watched with interest as the Enyiwaya underground was still holding Gu Lan desperately, trying to lift her up from the ground, but to no avail. Finally, exhausted, the poor man sat down at the feet of his beloved, howled loudly, and tried to touch her heart with the tenderest and most affectionate words. However, suddenly, Gu Lan gradually disappeared from her human form and turned into a green and fragrant grass. Frightened, he grabbed hold of the grass and tried to pull it up, but to no avail.
The three gods sighed and disappeared into the sky.
