7This bone target has already been used by me with magic. As long as he blows the bell, no matter when, I will appear by his side. "If the cot tieu doesn't ring, there is only one possibility. That is that you have betrayed or fallen in love, contrary to your original promise, and from then on, you will never find me again." Those words kept echoing in his head. Bui Duc cried like a desperate child. He knelt down on the ground, begging over and over again. "Dieu Dieu, I know I was wrong. Can you come back..." "Just let me see you again once, just once..." Three months later. Bui Duc suddenly seemed to wake up and began to regain his spirits. He no longer stands guard in front of Truong Thanh Palace's door every day, but gradually restores his previous appearance, dressing neatly. There's only one difference. Bui Duc began to summon all kinds of wizards. Started praying to the gods, practicing alchemy and cultivating the Dharma. All because Thu Tu once came to see him. "Your Majesty, if you love Empress Van so much, you also know that she is a snake demon, then why are you not willing to pay everything for her?" "Queen Van has returned to the demonic path. As long as the emperor finds a way to enter the demonic path, you can still see her again." Those words for Bui Duc were like a life-saving straw, lighting up a glimmer of hope. "That's right. As long as I can enter the demonic path." If you enter the demonic path, you will definitely meet Dieu Dieu again!” He truly became a tyrant. In search of medicinal materials for alchemy, he did not hesitate to exploit and plunder everywhere, making the people complain to the sky. To build an alchemy palace, he spared no effort in enhancing earth and wood. To find the entrance to the demonic path, he sent group after group into the deep mountains and forests. Everyone in the palace whispered, "The tyrant has gone to hell. Great Zhou is about to perish!" Only one wizard named Tham, especially flattering, bowed his head. This time when he entered the palace, he claimed to have refined a superior immortal pill. As long as you drink it, you can definitely become a fairy. Bui Duc did not hesitate at all, excitedly swallowed the medicinal pill. Completely invisible, in the corner of the sorcerer's eyes, the surname Tham flashed a trace of evil pride. "Your Majesty, I have asked you to secretly investigate, it seems that I have found the entrance to the demonic path. Please, Your Majesty, do not alarm others, come with me to see." Bui Duc has always been smart. However, once it involved Empress Van, he immediately lost his reason. Without hesitation, Bui Duc followed Doctor Tham into the secret passage. The deeper he went, the more uncomfortable he felt. By the time Bui Duc could react, he discovered that there was a sharp knife on his neck. "Emperor dog! Today is the day of your death!" The magician had been planning hard for a long time, and finally tricked Bui Duc into coming here. He didn't bother pretending anymore, revealing his true face. "Bui Duc, you took over my daughter, killed the child in her womb, and even turned her into a pig!" "You bitch! I swore to heaven, in this life I will definitely chop off your head, avenge my daughter!" Only then did Bui Duc regain his composure, his face pale. "You... you are my daughter's father." Tham To Tran? As soon as the knife was pulled out, he continued stabbing him one more time. "The punishment you deserve?" "So your outcome today, isn't it also the punishment you deserve!" Bui Duc was in so much pain that he couldn't live without death. Blood from many wounds kept pouring out. Finally, he could no longer support himself and his body collapsed to the ground. "Please... forgive me."

give me a life. You want the royal throne, just take it..." "I... I still have to find Dieu Dieu. I can't die!” In Wizard Tham's eyes, the hatred grew deeper and deeper. “When you ordered someone to kill my daughter, she also begged like you are now. At that time, did you ever forgive him? "You never gave him a way to live. Cruel to the extreme, even turning it into a pig!" "If I spare your life today, I am not worthy of being Tran Nhi's father!" "Emperor dog, pay your life!" That day, Bui Duc's body had more than thirty blood holes. His heart was also pierced, flesh and blood covered. Before he died, his eyes still stubbornly looked towards the exit of the secret passage. "Dieu Dieu, it was me who had it." sorry for you... "When I could be discovered by people. In Bui Duc's hand, he was still holding tightly that unsound-sounding bone. Bui Duc was dead. As for me, when I heard that news, there were no longer any waves in my heart. "Each person has their own destiny. Perhaps, that was his fate." Since the day I returned to the demonic path, I had cut off love. A few days ago, I was guided by Guan Yin again, and finally attained enlightenment and became an immortal. Who Bui Duc was was no longer important. The so-called love would gradually fade. Thirty years later, I received the destiny of heaven and once again descended to the human world. Only when I returned to the human world, I discovered that Dai Chu had changed eras. The Bui Duc of the past, had long since transformed. Disappeared into a handful of dust. Unexpectedly, on the way back to heaven, I was stopped by a ghost from the underworld. They said, there was a soul waiting at Nai Ha bridge for thirty years. He was determined not to forget the past, nor could he cross Vong Xuyen (Vong Xuyen is the river in the Underworld, where the soul must pass before the soul changes its life.) I wanted to see him once. When I arrived at the underworld, Bui Duc still maintained the miserable appearance before his death. His whole body was covered in blood, more than thirty blood holes on his body, even the light could see through. The moment he saw me, his whole body froze. "Dieu Dieu... I finally waited for you..." "Waiting for so many years, I just want to say sorry, hope you forgive me." In my next life, I vow to use my whole life to atone for my sins..." I quietly looked at him, smiling slightly. "I have attained enlightenment and become an immortal. There will be no next life." "Bui Duc, forget me." "Enter the cycle of reincarnation. Remember your next life, be a person who knows how to keep your promises.”(COMPLETE)
