Opening The Gate. A Painful Event

Almost one hour later the two managed to move the red diamonds to the left and the white diamonds to the right but the gate still didn't move.

"What now? why isn't it opening?" Yu Bin asked, confused.

"Maybe we should have put them the other way around, the red ones on the right side and the white ones on the left side. At least we found out that, even if we make a mistake, no trap will be activated."

" Then let's do it, '' Yu Bin said tiredly. Her spiritual energy was so done and keeping the stones full of resentment energy in her hand she was unconsciously cultivating resentment energy and tiring her out.

Another hour passed and the two managed to put the diamonds in their place, but the door still didn't open.

"What are we doing wrong? What is not good? I don't understand, we separated the bad from the good."

"Maybe the two types of diamonds are not created from resentment energy and spiritual energy, this is most likely what happens when you take only one in your hand. Try to take a red and a white diamond in your hand..." Xian Chen said and pick up a white diamond and then a red one.

"A-Xian!" Yu Bin cried out in fear at the thought that Xian Chen would now be attacked by resentment energy, but nothing happened and she remained stuck looking at him in confusion.

"Nothing is happening... A-Xian are you okay? Do you feel a strong pain? Do you hear anything?"

"Should I feel?"

"Don't you feel anything?" Yu Bin was now in total confusion.

"Yu Bin, I believe that these stones are created just like Yin and Yang. Yin and Yang have nothing to do with good and evil, they have to do with the existence of opposing forces that create the whole. If we try to separate Yin and Yang we cannot reach our goal. It is true that to create a lock that resembles Yin, those who created the gate lock used an extremely large amount of resentment energy but at the same time, they used the same amount of spiritual energy to replace Yang. for example to form Yin they had to use a certain amount of darkness and to create Yang they needed the same amount of light. In recreating the existence of Yin and Yang the one who created the lock used spiritual energy and resentment energy."

"Ah, I got it now, so we should put the diamonds one beside the other red and white"

"Yes..." Xian Chen said and the two began to arrange the diamonds in order. Not long after the two managed to arrange the stones and the gate finally began to open, an ice-cold steam came out through it and Xian Chen pulled Yu Bin out of his way.

"Yu Bin put this in his mouth," Xian Chen said, handing him his shirt which he quickly pulled down after him and tore it in two.

"Let's go now, run..." he added, pulling her after him through the ice-cold steam.

Passing through the frozen steam in only his tank top, it was as if he had been pierced by sharp arrows that pierced his skin cutting it and hot blood came out making Yu Bin's heartache in pain.

" A-Xian, are you ok ?" Yu Bin asked terrified after they got out from the cold air and entered an enormous room .

"I'm fine," Xian Chen said, trembling in pain.

Who would have thought that the trap will activate the moment they open the door. Until then they weren't sure if Ming Fang knew about that place, but now they were sure, Ming Fang didn't know.

"How can you say that you are ok? So much blood is coming out..." Yu Bin tried to touch him but Xian Chen winched in pain.

"Ai-Ren ... im ok, really, if I can't take it so much what will I do later when we are face to face with Ming Fang?" Xian Chen said, raising his hands and gently wiping the tears from her eyes.

"A, a, let's see what's here" he added smiling and taking her by the hand the two began to explore the room in which they were.

Going to the center of the room, the two found two coffins surrounded by a pool of crystal clear water. In front of the pool was a large board that was placed on a very large statue in the form of a dragon that was facing the two coffins. Xian Chen's heart weavered in pain, he didn't need to know what was written on the board in front of him. The dragon's face was enough to understand who was in the two tombs. He had played with that dragon so many times, it was impossible to ever forget it.

"A-Xian!" Yu Bin cried out in horror as she saw Xian Chen fall to his knees.

"A-Xian..." Yu Bin called again and hugged him tightly.

"Ai-Ren... I found them.... I finally found them..." Xian Chen said then wept bitterly in her arms.

The whole room resounded with the bitter words coming out of his mouth and she understood instantly what Xian Chen was talking about. She already knew his parents were killed but she didn't know anything else. She didn't know that Xian Chen was looking for his parents. She didn't know that he was in pain for thousands of years. She was there, right beside him but she didn't see anything. How much pain can there be ? How sad can he be? What kind of person is she? she couldn't see anything in all this time?

All kinds of thoughts passed through her head while she patted his head and her chest ached.

"A-Xian... my A-Xian, how much pain do you still have in your chest, huh?" she said, wiping his tears away and kissing his forehead.

Maybe she was unable to see his pain all this time but now that she knows she will stay by his side and try to make him happy. If the pain will not subside then she will stay by his side and wipe his tears.

"Xiao Xu...." a tender female voice was heard and Xian Chen raised his head instantly, shocking Yu Bin for a second time. First, because of the voice that came from nowhere and second Xian Chen raised his head so fast and jumped on his feet. Next moment In front of the two appeared two silhouettes made of the water by the pool. Who needed a clear face to understand who the two figures were?

"Mom… dad…" Xian Chen said with a trembling voice.

"Xiao Xu… our dear Xiao Xu, if our spirit appeared, it means that you entered this room. I believe you are so big now. Did you take after your father? exploring tombs? My dear Xiao Xu, I'm so sorry that I couldn't be with you when you grew up but I know Bao Fang did a great job raising you. Xiao Xu, I hope you don't hate Bao Fang for what happened. She has no fault, when she arrived at the castle we had already lost our humanity. I will always be grateful to her for helping us to give you a last message."

"Mom…" Xian Chen said, approaching the figure who was talking.

"Xiao Xu… listen to your mother. Don't hate Bao Fang.."

"I don't , i never did , it's true i was angry with her but never hated her…."

"Xiao Xu , you probably have lots of questions so me and your mother will do our best to explain to you in the time we have left " the king said and Xian Chen listened to all their explanations while crying hard.
