Celestial night

The devil dreamed something strange again. In the dream, he was walking along a road, and at the end of the road was a three-eyed crow.

After he woke up, the princess sat quietly by the bed and read a book, everything was as usual.The princess thought about it and decided to go to Kamal.After resting for a few days, they set out on the road. Before leaving, merchants and poets all came to the gate of the city to see them off.The devil looked at the poet with a sense of understanding, and couldn't help but want to pull the two feathers off his hat. The poet covered the feathers and took a step back like a frightened bird.

Hearing that they were going to Kamal, the businessman knew that the journey was long and dangerous. Before leaving, he prepared dry food and water for them, and gave the princess a thick blanket to withstand all wind and sand, saying that he hoped to help him in times of crisis.

Riding this stall, the devil secretly asked the poet about his amnesia, but the poet shook his head regretfully, expressing that he could not help.But pointing to the ruby ​​on the princess' chest, she told him:

"My lord, although I can't give you the answer. But the ruby ​​will guide you all the way south to find the answer." They said goodbye to each other after thanking them.

The poet looked at their receding figures, the gears of fate had already started, and the group of people in Kamal couldn't sit still.

The desert has been replaced by the Gobi. The road is extremely rugged, and it is even more difficult to walk than the desert.They saw an old man begging for water from them on the side of the road. The princess gave the water to the old man after seeing the devil.

After the old man thanked him, he no longer looked stooped.

The old man asked:

"Young man, where are you from?"

"I come from the north," answered the princess.

The old man asked again:

"Where are you headed?"

"Go south," answered the princess.

The old man finally asked:

"What are you asking for?"

The princess's eyes darkened and she answered firmly:

"Wisdom that knows everything." The princess pinched the devil's sleeve, and he wanted to know everything about this person.

The old man's expression was clear, as if he had heard the answer thousands of times and performed the actions thousands of times. He tapped the ground with his cane and stood up a tower with a dome called Ivan.

They are in the center of the tower, with three walls and one wall completely open, and a spiral staircase spreads along the books on the four walls and finally reaches the apex.old man said

"There are a total of 380 million books behind you, which will give you the wisdom to see everything. But you must complete my test."

As soon as the scene changed, the princess subconsciously wanted to catch the devil, but when she realized it, she realized that she was the only one left.The princess looked cold.

At this time, two newborn mothers came to the princess with a baby boy. Both mothers insisted that the child was their own, but one of the children died that night.Pray to the princess to decide who is the real mother of the child.

The princess understood that this was the test.It's actually very simple, isn't it?

The princess spoke indifferently and even cruelly:

"Then split the living child in half, one half."

The old man looked at the demon beside him, with a sad expression on his face, as if he had heard such an answer thousands of times, he said:

"He's cruel." It's like he grew up in the dark.

The devil didn't speak, but still stared at the princess.

One said: "This child does not belong to me, nor does it belong to you, cut it off!" But the boy's real mother immediately said that he was willing to give up the child.

The princess smiled, looked directly in the direction of the old man, and her eyes fell on the devil with a penetrating gaze.

"The real mother is the one who gives up her child." The princess is bound to win.

The devil looked at the princess softly and said to the old man:

"She will become a wise king." The tone was firm.

The old man looked at the devil as if he missed something, sighed and finally compromised.Then stand in front of the princess.

"I am Baimeng, the Ninth Demon God, who knows the past, future, and all hidden or lost things and knowledge."

Then a key was given to the princess.

"Give you the wisdom to discern justice and distinguish right from wrong, Your Majesty." She has an oracle that can discern everything.

Naturally, the princess who went with the flow stayed there, and a few years passed by, and the speed at which the princess grew by leaps and bounds, even the old man couldn't help but amazed, and taught him more carefully.The princess can draw inferences quickly.

The princess also began to change slowly, her appearance became more and more iconic, she was taller than ordinary girls and even had a tendency to surpass demons, her voice began to become hoarse.The princess began to alienate the devil slowly, and the devil didn't quite understand why at first. He tried to find the princess, but he avoided it calmly.

The demon sighed, really grown up.

As the day of departure approached, the devil couldn't help finding the old man and asking if he knew what he remembered.The old man also shook his head, and the old voice told him the same words as the poet,

"Unfortunately, child, I can't answer this question." The devil was a little melancholy. He also searched many books but couldn't find any clues.Walked away unsteadily.

it's useless.The princess turned around and came out from the shadows.The eyes of the figure staring at the demon walking away were full of restraint and forbearance, his greenness faded, and some things had already sprouted secretly.

The absurd thoughts intensified in my mind day and night, and I couldn't get rid of them.

He has read all the books, but there is no clue pointing to the devil, everything is deliberately hidden.He still doesn't know anything about this person.But it doesn't matter, I am different now.

I can't imagine how good it is to hold you, but I know losing you is the end of it all.

The days passed quickly, and the princess was about to leave. The old man told them that the only way to go to Kamal was Baghdad, the main city in the north that believed in Zoroastrianism.

Before leaving on the last day, the old man gave the princess a piece of advice:

"Your Majesty, time is running out, darkness is approaching."

After they left, the old man looked at the devil and murmured lovingly: "That one is already waiting for you, child" and then turned back and continued to guard the tower of Nuo Da.

Waiting for them ahead is still a boundless desert.

And they're a bit unlucky.

They were assassinated.

More than 40 people slowly shrink into a trap around them, and all of them have the pattern of Kamal Temple on their robes.

The desert is empty and there is no shelter. This kind of disadvantage in numbers is very unfavorable to them, and most of them are here for the princess. Looking at the demon blocking them, who is so persistent in letting me die? dark.

They are now lambs waiting to be slaughtered, without the slightest resistance, they are really unwilling, and they keep touching their own waist knives.

The vision suddenly appeared, and everyone's expressions changed.

The miasma filled the sky and fell straight into the mortal world, where the sky collapsed and the earth shattered.

This is frightening,

Desert sandstorm.

On the upper layer of the wind and sand wall, the fiery red color is closely connected with the sky and the earth, like the raging fire of hell, while the lower layer is thick black.Although the desert itself is dangerous enough to have experience, desert sandstorms are close to death.

The thunderous momentum of the wind wall attracted them to their feet, and the demon reflexively stuffed the princess into the blanket given to him by the businessman.

The crow sprang out from nowhere and quickly put the princess's ruby ​​necklace into the hands of the devil.

Then it was covered by dust.Where the wind and sand wall moved, the sky changed from bright to dark, constantly changing, swallowing all light, and no grass grew anywhere it went.

In the city of Kamal.

"My lord, the princess has been lost." A man said to the priest.

"He can't survive such a big storm." The priest waved him back.

This time you don't have the blessing of angels, show a contented smile.

The author has something to say:

Half and half! !As we all know, there must be an assassination in a revenge story.The more I look at it, the more I feel like the Middle Eastern version of Hamlet. . .

Oh, by the way, that little test is called a wise parent-child case.
