I’m Being Held Captive by Demons Chapter 370: Children
Crows face the morning sun and fly over the bustling city.
On the far horizon, the huge imperial city stands in the morning light. The red-painted palace wall is taller than all the houses in the entire capital.
In the distance, it looks like a red sky, straddling the end of the world.
In the palace, an old figure sits in front of the uninhabited palace. On the steps of white marble, dragons and phoenixes are carved in a solemn style.
However, there was not the slightest figure in this unknown palace, or even in the vast courtyard in front of and behind the entire palace.
Empty and desolate.
The old man held an ancient sword in his arms in both hands, tilted his head, and sat on the stone steps, as if asleep.
The morning sun shone on his shoulders, making the black and white mixed distribution even more messy.
At one point, he yawned and opened his sleepy eyes slightly.
Looking at the figure under the steps.
It was an ignorant child, wearing a prince's luxurious clothes, looking at him timidly.
The old man grinned, revealing terrifying fangs that were as sharp as knives.
"Little Seventeen, what's the matter?"
The smiling old man looked slightly grim at this time. That sharp mouth full of fangs, more like a monster, makes one's heart chill.
The ignorant child trembled timidly, and it took a long while to gather up his courage.
"Old...Old god! The royal father asked me to tell you that the bell you hang on the main hall of Lizheng is ringing!"
The young prince's voice trembled.
Although my father said that the old immortals in the Weiming Palace are good people, they are the patron saints who have guarded them for decades.
However, every time I saw the old man's hideous face and sharp fangs, the Seventeenth Prince couldn't help but be afraid.
Every time I come to Weiming Palace, I have to have nightmares for more than ten days when I go back.
The old man in the dream will turn into a dark and terrifying beast, tearing open his stomach and drinking his flesh and viscera.
Even if you wake up, the real pain will last for a long time before dissipating.
The seventeenth prince looked terrified.
The old man on the white marble steps lit up and sat up slightly.
"The bell rang? When did it happen?" The old man's words were full of joy.
The young child said timidly: "This morning, about...about half an hour ago."
The smile on the old man's face grew brighter.
He looked at the little prince under the steps, and said with a smile: "Very good! Very good! I have waited for twenty years, and finally I have waited!"
"The person who should be here is finally here!"
"Xiao Shiqi, go back and tell your father. If something happens in the future, let Xiao Shiba come to me."
The words of the elderly make the young children smile a little.
In the future, will I finally not have to meet this scary old fairy by myself?
But after the joy, the child was a little scared.
The eighteenth brother is the most timid, much more timid than him. On weekdays, even thunder and lightning can frighten us to wet our pants, if the eighteenth brother comes here...
The young child took a few steps out, suddenly made up his mind, and turned around.
"Old immortal, my eighteenth brother is too stupid, I'm afraid he won't be able to handle your affairs."
"Let me help you with the message in the future, shall you?"
A child as young as eight years old can muster up the courage to say this, it is already the limit.
So when the old man smiled and looked at him without saying a word, the child's face gradually turned pale.
He hurriedly bowed again, didn't dare to speak any more, turned around and ran away quickly.
The seventeenth prince's heart was pounding all the way out of the palace walls of Weiming Palace.
The waiters who were waiting outside hurriedly greeted him. No one dared to speak in such a place. They carried the chariot silently and quickly to send the seventeenth prince away.
The neatly dressed servants ran quickly in the palace city, but there was no sound of running, and the whole process was silent.
Every one of the servants was silent, bowed their heads, and only looked at their toes.
It seems to look up to see things that shouldn't be seen.
Going through the six palace walls in a row, I finally came to the outside of the upper study.
The many guards who had been protecting the upper study room immediately stepped forward, took over the prince from this group of inner servants, and quickly escorted the young prince into the courtyard.
Step into the upper study and meet the emperor of Da Zhou.
The moment the Seventeenth Prince entered the door, he was slightly shocked.
Because there were several figures in the study, besides the emperor.
The Taoist priest Qingyunzi of Shangqingguan, the first assistant Qi Mingyuan, and the second aunt Lingyang princess...
The seventeenth prince did not expect so many people to wait for him, and hurriedly saluted.
The emperor waved his hand and said, "Come on, what did the old **** tell you?"
My father's eyes were full of tension.
The child looked at the adults and found that not only the father but also the adults in the study looked at him with very nervous eyes.
Like what he was going to say next, it was some kind of immortal decree of great importance.
The seventeenth prince hesitated slightly, shook his head and said, "Back to the father, the old fairy didn't say anything to the child."
"He just laughed happily after hearing the baby's report."
"Laughing and saying [Very good! Very good! I waited for twenty years]..."
The young child, imitating the tone of the old fairy, repeated all the words of the old man at that time.
The people in the study room were slightly silent.
The emperor frowned and said, "Isn't the old **** immortal? Just laughing? Could it be that we don't need to do anything?"
The eldest princess noticed another thing.
"Little Seventeen," Princess Lingyang looked at the child in front of her with a trace of unbearableness in her eyes: "You said that the old **** told you not to go in the future? Instead of your eighteenth brother?"
The little prince nodded and said, "Well, the old fairy said so."
Princess Lingyang and the emperor looked at each other.
The two brothers and sisters were silent with each other, and finally the emperor said slowly: "I know... Seventeen, you should go back to the palace to rest first, and don't go out for a few days."
After finishing speaking, the emperor paused and said again: "In addition, you told your mother and concubine last time that you wanted to learn the fairy method~IndoMTL.com~ Father Huang gave permission. I will have someone on it later. Qing Guan's immortal law books are sent to you."
The sudden good news surprised the young child for a moment.
Excitedly, she almost jumped up.
"Thank you, Father!"
The young child left happily, rejoicing at the change of heart of his father.
The adults silently watched the child's back disappear, and the eldest princess sighed bitterly.
"Seeing his happy smiling face, I don't feel good in my heart..."
The emperor looked gloomy and said nothing.
Daoist Qingyun, who had been on the sidelines for a long time, finally spoke up.
"Although I don't know who the existence is waiting for, I don't know why it is so happy."
"But Your Majesty, we should still take precautions."
"At the very least, after the news spreads that the bell rang, those things in the city will definitely move..."
