I’m Being Held Captive by Demons - Chapter 374

[Chapter three hundred and seventy children]

Facing the morning sun, the crow flew over the bustling city.

On the distant 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 was like a red sky, straddling the end of the world.

Inside the palace, an old figure sat in front of the unidentified palace.

On the steps of white marble, dragons and phoenixes are carved in a solemn style.

However, there was not even the slightest figure in the 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 falling asleep.

The early morning sunlight fell on his shoulders, making the black and white mixed distribution even more messy.

At a certain moment, he yawned and opened his sleepy eyes slightly.

He looked at the figure under the steps.

It was an ignorant child, dressed in the noble clothes of a prince, 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.

That sharp mouth full of fangs, more like a monster, makes one’s heart chill.

The ignorant child trembled timidly, and after a long while he mustered up his courage.

“Old…Old immortal! The royal father asked me to tell you that the bell you hung on the main hall of Lizheng is ringing!” The

young prince’s voice was trembling.

Although the 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 he saw the grim face and sharp fangs of the old man, the seventeenth prince still 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 I wake up, the real pain will last for a long time before it dissipates.

The seventeenth prince looked terrified.

But 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 became even brighter.

He looked at the little prince under the steps, hehe smiled and said: “Very good! Very good! I have waited for 20 years, and I have finally arrived!”

“The person who should be here is finally here!”

“Little Seventeen, go back and tell Your royal father. If something happens in the future, let Xiao Shiba come to me.” The

old man’s words made the young children smile slightly.

Don’t you finally have to come to see this scary old fairy by yourself in the future?

But after the joy, the child was a little scared.

Eighteenth brother is the most timid, much more timid than him.

On weekdays, even thunder and lightning can make you pee your pants. If you let the Eighteenth Brother come…

The young child took a few steps outside, suddenly made up his mind, gritted his teeth 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 spread the word in the future?”

An eight-year-old child who can summon the courage to say these words has already is the limit.

Therefore, 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.

Running out of the palace walls of the Weiming Palace, the seventeenth prince’s heart was pounding.

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 servants, who were neatly dressed, ran quickly in the palace city, but there was no sound of running, and the whole process was silent.

Every servant was silent and lowered his head, only looking at his toes.

It seems that looking up will see something that shouldn’t be seen.

After passing through the six palace walls in a row, he finally came to the outside of the upper study.

The many guards who had been guarding outside the study room immediately stepped forward, took over the prince from the group of inner servants, and quickly escorted the young prince into the courtyard.

Stepping into the upper study, I saw the emperor of Da Zhou.

The moment the Seventeenth Prince entered the door, he was slightly shocked.

Because in the study, in addition to the father emperor, there are actually several figures.

Daoist Qingyunzi from Shangqingguan, the first assistant, Lord Qi Mingyuan, and the second aunt, the eldest princess Lingyang… 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 god tell you?” The

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 the decree of the immortals that had a lot to do with it.

The seventeenth prince hesitated slightly, shook his head and said, “Back to the father, the old fairy didn’t say anything to the child.”

“After hearing the report of the child, he just laughed happily.”

“While laughing, I said [Very good! Very good! I’ve 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 few people in the study room were slightly silent.

The emperor frowned and said, “Did the old god not have any orders? 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, and a trace of unbearable flashed in her eyes: “You said that the old fairy told you not to go in the future? Instead of your eighteenth brother?” The

little prince nodded and said: ” Well, that’s what the old god said.”

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 bedroom to rest first, and don’t go out for the next few days.”

After speaking, the emperor paused and said again: ” In addition, you told your mother and concubine last time that you want to learn immortal law, UU reading www.sonicmtl.com father and emperor agreed. Later, someone will send you the immortal law book of Shangqingguan.”

The sudden good news surprised the young child for a moment.

Excited, he almost jumped up.

“Thank you for the emperor!” The

young child left happily, rejoicing at the change of heart of the emperor.

The adults silently watched the child’s back disappear, and the eldest princess sighed bitterly.

“Looking at 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 at this time.

“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 of the bell ringing spreads, those things in the city will definitely move…”
