Chapter 70 Mysterious World 16
Looking at the person in front of him, Qiu Yue couldn't help but touch him gently with his fingers, first the eyes, then the nose, and then the lips.
When my lips actually touched his, even though it had been more than eight thousand years, I couldn't help but shed tears.
Tears dripped down, and Qiu Yue quickly reached out to catch the two drops of deep red blood tears. Seeing that there was no trace of tears staining the white shirt of the master, he breathed a sigh of relief.
His tears were no longer as clear as before. Now they were extremely turbid. He couldn't let his grandfather be stained.
Using his black robe to wipe the remaining tears from his face, Qiu Yue wanted to reach out and hug him. However, when he raised his arms, the faint ghostly aura on his body reminded him that they were already separated by the Yin and Yang. Forcing him to possess her would only hurt his fragile self.
Qiu Yue paused and slowly retracted his arm. He just stared blankly, his cheeks softer than they had been in years. "That's good. It's good that he's back. As long as I can still see him, that's good. What else are you asking for?"
......
The next morning, Lu Changning opened his eyes dazedly and found it was another sunny day. Why was the weather so good? It was strange that the Ghost King really didn't come!
Looking at the quilt that wrapped him tightly, Lu Changning struggled to get up: "Why don't I remember taking the quilt before going to bed? Could it be that Ah Xiu covered me? Ah Xiu! Ah Xiu!"
After calling several times, there was no sound in the room. Lu Changning wondered, "That's weird. Where did Xiu go so early in the morning? Xiu, I'm going out to buy breakfast. Do you want me to bring you some?"
There was still no sound. Breakfast did not attract Ah Xiu out. It seemed that she had really left.
Lu Changning went out. Qiu Yue, who had been watching everything in the living room, pursed his lips unhappily. Damn it, he didn't even forget to bring breakfast to Ah Xiu. She had been dead for thousands of years, so why would she need breakfast? Damn it, if he had known he would run into his master, he should have personally taken on the task of cursing Gu Sheng. That way, he wouldn't have been pestered by this little girl, Ah Xiu, and even bought her breakfast. He had never eaten the breakfast bought by his master himself.
The more I thought about it, the angrier I got. No, Ah Xiu's confinement time had to be extended.
Lu Changning, who went out to buy breakfast, just walked out of the door and saw a big yellow paper talisman coming towards him.
Suddenly remembering Gu Sheng's request to help contact the crematorium, Lu Changning hurried to knock on his neighbor's door.
However, after knocking for a long time, there was no response.
Oh no, could it be that the Ghost King really came here last night? He didn't come to my place because he went to the next door!
"Gu Sheng, Xia Tian, little Taoist priest, are you all okay?"
His shouting did not attract the neighbors, but it attracted Qiu Yue who was in the house.
It was not until he heard Lu Changning's words that Qiu Yue belatedly remembered the purpose of his trip. He had originally intended to kill Gu Sheng, but he did not expect to spend the whole night watching over his grandfather's bed.
Thinking of his grandfather's sleeping face, Qiu Yue's mouth corners lifted uncontrollably. Forget it, killing Gu Sheng was originally to find his grandfather, and now that his grandfather is by his side, Gu Sheng is not that important anymore.
While knocking on the door, Lu Changning was thinking whether to call the police or contact the crematorium directly. Otherwise, he should call 120 first. At least the male and female protagonists should be able to hold their breath even when facing the ghost king.
Just as I was thinking about it, the door suddenly opened.
Gu Sheng appeared at the door with huge dark circles under his eyes and a pale face. Combined with the dim room and the lingering smell of blood, Lu Changning almost cried for help.
"Why are you dressed like this? How was your last night? Where are the two of them? Are they okay?"
Gu Sheng yawned: "Don't mention it. I waited all night for the Ghost King but he didn't come. I spent the whole night catching chickens."
"what happened?"
"The Taoist master said that the preparations were not enough, so we went to buy a few more chickens. But when we got home, the dog Wangcai started fighting with the six roosters. In the chaos, they kicked over the chicken blood, the Taoist cinnabar, and everything else we had prepared. Now our room is like a crime scene, and we have been scared all night. Do you want to come in and take a look?"
Lu Changning refused without even thinking about it. This guy's face didn't look very good. What if he really encountered a ghost? Those two were the protagonists, but Lu Changning was not. It would be better to hide here and watch the show. As long as the ghost was not Qiu Yue, Lu Changning had no intention of joining in the fun.
After buying breakfast, Lu Changning did not rush back home, but went to a nearby park to bask in the sun.
It was a rare good day. While eating breakfast and watching the children playing in the distance, Lu Changning's mood gradually relaxed.
Just then, Lu Changning paused while eating his buns, and Xiaohong's familiar voice rang out in his mind: "Lu Changning, are you still alive?"
Lu Changning took a big bite of the bun and said, "Thank you for your concern. I am still alive and well. How come you, a busy man, have time to look for a forgotten ghost messenger like me today?"
Xiao Hong was a little embarrassed. "How could I forget? I have been trying to find a way to save you. Oh, I just looked through the Book of Life and Death and found that Qiu Yue had passed away a long time ago, but there was no information about his reincarnation in the Book of Life and Death, and I don't know where his soul went. He still has our residual souls on him, and the child and wife have all been fed to the wolves and are missing."
Lu Changning finished the last bite of the bun and drank the porridge mouthful by mouthful: "Qiu Yue, I have some news here. But it has not been confirmed yet. I will find a chance to verify it in a few days."
Xiao Hong nodded: "There is no rush. We need to rescue you from this world first. I have been busy for a long time recently, and finally contacted the senior. The senior has agreed to rescue you from this world."
Lu Changning was stunned. He really didn't expect Xiao Hong to be so powerful: "Get me out? Then what about this world!"
"Of course, we should destroy it directly."
"Just... destroy them? There are still many souls in this world. Are you just going to abandon them like this?"
Xiao Hong had no other choice: "This is the decision made by the top leaders in the meeting. This world is now a big bag that only takes in but does not give out. It constantly absorbs souls from us to reincarnate, but cannot release a single soul. If this continues, the damage will only get bigger and bigger. For the peace of the entire Three Realms, we can only sacrifice these souls now."
The more Lu Changning listened, the more his brows furrowed. "But there are so many souls in here. Are you just going to throw them all away?"
Xiao Hong knew that Lu Changning had only been a ghost messenger for a short time, so she felt pity for these things: "Don't feel sorry, this is just a small world. Even if there are many souls in it, it is only a tiny part of the vast world. We can't let other worlds be in danger just because of this small world with problems. What's more, the inspection is about to begin, and there can be no mistakes at this time. No matter from which angle, destroying this small world that cannot be recycled is the best solution."
Even though it was nothing compared to the Three Realms, there were also lives in this world! If there was a glimmer of hope, we had to plan for them.
"Xiaohong, if the cycle in this world can return to normal, then can we keep this small world?"
Xiao Hong: "It would be great if it can be restored to normal, but it has been broken for such a long time, are you sure you can fix it?"
Lu Changning plans to give it a try.
The people living in this world are all descendants of Liang State, and they were all his former subjects. They had promised not to be a king who destroyed his country, and even if thousands of years had passed, he would not forget this oath. As long as he was still alive and could still contribute, he could not watch this world go to destruction.
