Chapter 7 — Christmas Fairy Tale at Ma Palace

08

As soon as A Chieu's call rang out, the queen's mother's arms immediately tightened. The emperor turned his head back. The sword of fate slashed horizontally into the void, the black blade of light slashed straight into that vertical eye. The eyes closed briefly. In the crack, a woman's low laughter sounded again.

“Protect her so carefully?”

“But sooner or later she will remember me.”

The royal father swung his sword and slashed down one blow at a time. The entire main hall vibrated in the blade gas. The Demon Ancestors also stood up and formed seals, forcing the crack back into the ground. The Celestial Clan's ancestor ignored his stance and lowered his staff to add a burst of blue light. White and black light landed on the ground together. That vertical eye finally dissipated. But the call "A Chieu" still lingers in my ears. I grabbed the hem of my mother's dress and suddenly felt extremely sleepy. Not the sleepiness of a baby when its stomach is full. It's like there's a hand reaching out from a very far away place, wanting to embrace my soul and take it away. The queen mother pressed her cheek against my forehead and softly called my name.

“Chieu Chieu.”

“Look at this mother.”

I opened my eyes. His eyes were filled with blood threads. I really want to tell people that I'm okay. But I can only make a little sound. When the royal father turned back, the tip of the knife was still dripping with drops of black gas. The person looked at Thieu Dieu.

“Do you still want to ask now?”

Theu Dieu's face was also pale. But he nodded.

“Want.”

“He already remembers her face.”

“If we don't stay, the next time it will come faster.”

The emperor stared at him.

"If you dare to show even the slightest bit of greed in Hell, I will nail your soul to the palace door."

Thieu Dieu calmly replied: "Okay." The three questions of hell appear in the middle of the main hall. It doesn't look like a prison. It's like a bottomless black well. The well water is calm. But it can reflect things that people don't want to show to others the most. Thieu Dieu walked to the mouth of the well. The heavenly army wants to stop him.

"You are the crown prince of the Celestial Clan."

“If you die here, the Heavenly Clan's foundation will definitely be in chaos.”

Thie Dieu never looked back.

“If she dies here, both clans will be in chaos.”

Thien Quan's face looked extremely bad. The white-bearded old man closed his eyes.

“Go away.”

Thien Dieu entered the black well. His back was immediately swallowed by darkness. On the surface of the well appears the first words. Question the mind (Ask the mind). The next moment, above the main hall, an illusory scene lit up. White jade stairs. Heavenly Compassion Patriarch. A small teenager knelt in front of the beer, his back straight. That was Thieu Dieu when he was young. The Celestial Clan's people initially had solemn expressions on their faces. But as soon as the illusion appeared, a black peach forest appeared in front of the teenager. In the peach forest, there was a little girl wearing a cardigan sitting. The girl turned her back to him. Under his feet are all white bones. The girl cried very quietly. The quieter it is, the more chills people feel inside. The young man walked forward step by step. He reached out to touch her. But as soon as his hand touched her shoulder, the girl turned her head. That face has no five senses. There is only a half-yellow, half-black mark in the middle of the eyelid. When Thieu Dieu woke up, his whole body was sweating profusely. Teenager in illusion he never told anyone. He secretly went to the Storehouse. Flip through three thousand forbidden books. Then he knelt before the compassion nest for ten days and ten nights. He asked the bi team who that child was. The bi team just dropped a line of blood. Meet it, protect it, don't betray it. The Heavenly Clan's ancestor suddenly widened his eyes.

“Did the patriarch ever give you these six words?”

Theu Dieu's voice came from the bottom of the well.

“Yes.”

Thien Quan shouted loudly: "Why have you never reported it?" Thieu Dieu blinked in silence in the well water.

“Because the nest still has a sentence behind.”

The surface of the well rippled again. Blood appeared on its own. If you betray it, the heavenly gate will be destroyed. The entire Celestial Clan fell into deathly silence. On the Demon Clan's side, someone sneered.

“It turns out it wasn't out of any mercy.”

"But I'm afraid the heavenly gate will crumble."

The emperor did not laugh. The person looked at the well, his eyes were darker than before. The mind does not reflect what comes out of the mouth. It's the cause and effect hidden deepest in the heart. Thieu Dieu agreed to come here, it was truly for the safety of the Heavenly Clan. But the teenager in the illusion, every time he dreamed of a black peach forest, used a knife to cut open his Kim Van an inch when he woke up from the dream. He used Kim Van's blood to calculate where the child would be born. A continuous incision for ten years. I looked at those blood streams and suddenly felt a sharp pain in my wrist. I struggled. The mother bowed her head.

“Chieu Chieu?”

I pointed to the well.

“Pain.”

Thieu Dieu was submerged in the well water and suddenly raised his head. His eyes seemed to be lightly hit by something. His father's face became even more unsightly.

"He cut it himself, so even if it hurts, it's worth it."

The Demon clan nodded in agreement.

“Not wrong.”

The black text on the first question door slowly disappeared. The second text appears on the well's surface. Questioning bones (Ask the bones). The clear light surrounding Thieu Dieu's body was suddenly stripped away. His skeleton image appeared. The bones of the Celestial Crown Prince should have been flawlessly white. But right where his heart was, a faint black mark appeared. Thien Quan's face changed instantly.

“What is this?”

The demon generals of the Demon tribe simultaneously drew their swords. The emperor's father said with every word: "In the core of the Heavenly Clan's Crown Prince, there is a dark demon mark?" Thieu Dieu lowered his head and looked at his chest. He seemed to know it from before.

“When I was born, it was difficult for my mother to give birth.”

"Someone used a section of Tran Uyen Moc on the border of Ma Yuan to save my life."

The white-bearded old man was shocked and exclaimed: "Who did it?" Thieu Dieu glanced at Thien Quan. Thien Quan's face turned pale in an instant. The wind in the main hall stopped. But the well water in Hell does not stop. It continued to roll. In the illusion, a young Queen of Heaven carried a barely alive baby and knelt before the Heavenly Monarch. The Heavenly Emperor personally opened a sealed box. Inside the box was a piece of black wood. As soon as that black log appeared, the Demon Clan's ancestral shadow changed color all at once.

“Tran Uyen Moc.”

“That's what the Demon Clan brought to the cracked heavenly gate during the armistice three hundred years ago.”

"The Heavenly Clan took it to save the Crown Prince's life?"

The army shouted loudly: "Shut up!" But it's late. From deep in the well, a stream of black energy wrapped around Thieu Dieu's core. The cold voice of Hell Demon rang out.

“Yes old debt.”

“The creditor is unknown.”

“Second question, not over yet.”
