Memory of Life and Death

Candlelight and shadow, the sadness in tears is blown away by the wind! King Kali sat quietly on his throne, looking haggard. Cups and lamps are intertwined on the table, the moon is like light at night, the curtains are rolled up by the moonlight, and the folds are scattered! "Your Majesty, Princess Lingyu has been buried in Xuecheng. According to Your Majesty's holy will, the plum blossoms that the Princess loved most during her lifetime are planted all around the Xuecheng." The chamberlain reported outside the curtain. "Well, let's go down, I want to stay by myself for a while..." King Kali said sadly. After saying that, I closed my eyes! The sudden death of his favorite concubine was such a huge pain for the young king! Returning home in a trance, the beauty beside the dressing table looks back. In an instant, the dependence of life and death becomes a vast separation between yin and yang. Preference may be jealous of heaven, but a lifelong promise may even make heaven jealous! King Kali was hazy and wandering, looking for his beloved concubine in his dream, but was awakened by the urgent voice of his chamberlain. I only heard the report from the chamberlain: "Your Majesty, what's wrong, Princess Lingyu's phoenix body is missing!" King Kali suddenly stood up and said in a trembling voice: "Come with me to have a look!" When King Kali rushed to Snow City, only a cold jade coffin was left behind. Just when King Kali was about to investigate, a yellow-robed Taoist priest appeared from outside the door and suddenly sang: "Life and death in this world are determined by fate, each has its destiny and this life. If you think about it, To keep memories in this life, we should eliminate evil and do good deeds. Just finish singing and I will wait for all the reincarnations to begin!" After the song, he drifted away. King Kali wanted to find out the meaning of the song, but when he went out, the Taoist priest disappeared without a trace. King Kali vaguely felt that the song contained information about his beloved concubine, so he had someone copy it and took it back to the palace to show it to his master. The Chinese scholars in the court were well versed in this. After reading it, they said to the king: "We guess that this song is to persuade your majesty not to be sad. Everyone has his destiny and destiny. Your majesty should turn sadness into motivation, govern the country diligently and frugally, be kind to the people, and accumulate more virtues for the dead." King Kali thought for a long time and murmured: "The master is right, but what is the meaning of the last line in the song?" "Hangzhou, if this song has something to do with the princess, then the princess should be reborn in Hangzhou in the next life!" The imperial master said with confidence. King Kali slammed the table and said loudly: "I will definitely be a good king. In eighteen years, I will look for Concubine Lingyu!"
