"What were you thinking in that second just now?" Bao faintly heard a woman talking in his ear.

He struggled to open his heavy eyelids, and saw that the sky was full of flowing gray-purple smoke, and he thought it was a dream, and his flickering eyes suddenly closed again. The sword that passed through him was stained with scarlet blood and pierced his abdomen and chest, and he tried to reach out in pain to pull it out, but he couldn't move at all.

The woman smiled but looked at him extremely indifferently and said, "Don't bother, you can't move!"

"Who are you?" Bao groaned a few times, and the head he had just raised fell heavily to the ground, and the outline of a woman gradually became clear in his vision.

"I am the Grim Reaper!" the woman said solemnly.

Ah Bao couldn't help but raise his forehead and said, "Death? If a person sees the Grim Reaper, does it mean that he is dead?"

"No, seeing Lord Yama is, seeing the god of death just means that you are about to die!"

"What does that mean?"

"It means that just when you were about to go into cardiac arrest, I saved you alive!"

"Why did you save me?" Po's pupils widened as he adjusted to the light.

"Because I chose you!"

"Huh?"

"Hey, I've been looking for more than 20 years, just to find this heart, do you know how difficult it is?" Death sighed solemnly, but Po was at a loss.

"I really don't understand what you're talking about. ”

"It doesn't matter if I don't understand, I'll just say it first, just listen to it! I'm from hell and I'm a subordinate of Jizo Bodhisattva, that is, the god of death who works for him! My job is to deal with spirits, and of course, occasionally with stubborn living people. Anyway, my mission is to get them to go to hell with me!"

"Then your job must be very bad, after all, not many people are willing to go to hell. Po smiled helplessly.

"Indeed, this is the most troublesome point for me, but there is one more headache, that is, every five hundred years, I have to help Jizo find a heart, and that heart must be pure and clear, spotless, strong and optimistic, and besides, be kind and compassionate!"

"Did you find it?"

"Of course, that heart is right here for you!" Death pointed at Po's flesh-and-blood chest, looking completely serious.

"Ahem!ahem!" Bao was so frightened that he coughed several times. He smiled wryly and asked, "Do you think I'm as good as you say?"

"Of course, I've been evaluating you for a long time!

Saying this, Ah Bao couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat, could it be that in the past 20 years of his life, he has been under the surveillance of this person every day?

He smiled helplessly: "You're really boring, but I can tell you with certainty, you give up as soon as possible, I'm really not as good as you say." With that, Po avoided his face and wanted to continue sleeping.

"It's not up to you to decide!" Death fiddled with her fingers, with an expression of victory, and said: "In ancient times, there were seven exquisite hearts that were better than dry, and now there are Li Abao's Kunlun Haoyu hearts! This is clearly recorded in the Xia Chapter!"

"Xia Zhang, you're okay with your brain, I've never heard of Xia Zhang's book!"

"Hey, I'm not a fool, don't I just want you to believe me when I say so much? Xia Zhang's book, of course you won't hear it, this is a treasure from hell, a book that records all the important things in the world throughout the ages!" said him, Death's eyes flashed with starlight.

"Tell me, what is your purpose?"

"I'm the Grim Reaper, of course I'm working for Jizo, but I can't get any benefit!"

"Say it quickly. Ah Bao's breath was weak, but he seemed extremely impatient, after all, his body was really painful, and he didn't have the energy to listen to the nonsense of this unknown woman.

"I'm not afraid of your jokes, Jizo's heart originally took root in the Hell River and grew into a Maya tree, that tree can provide energy for hell, as long as it is there, hell can survive endlessly, and the soul in hell can be purified. However, every five hundred years, Kunlun Haoyuxin will die! Moreover, no one knows who it will grow in in the next life!"

"So, you've changed countless hearts during this time?"

"Yes, it has to be replaced, it's the same as nature's metabolism! If the Maya tree dies, the whole hell will collapse like a star, and Jizo and I will cease to exist?"

"Ahem, ahem! It's not that I don't understand what you're talking about, could it be simpler. ”

"To put it simply, I, Jizo, and hell beings all rely on the Kunlun Haoyu heart to sustain their lives, and if that heart dies, everything will be annihilated. ”

"This is a difficult problem, could it be that Li Abao's Kunlun Haoyu heart is only recorded in the Xia Zhang?" Ah Bao looked at her meaningfully.

"No, this heart originally belonged to Jizo, and whenever Kunlun Haoyu's heart was almost exhausted, the Buddha would use his mana to regenerate a new heart and give it to the flesh mortal fetus!"

"It just so happened that in this calamity, this heart grew here with me, so you want to return to Zhao to take it away, right?"

"Hmm!" Death nodded earnestly.

"Anyway, I'm already a dying person, and this heart will eventually rot, so you can take it!"

"However, I have one more thing to say, the heart must be together with the soul in order to produce power!"

"My soul is going to be taken with me too?" Po almost cried out.

"Well, I guessed a long time ago, you will definitely be reluctant, but we are still very fair, so, I will promise you an additional request, no matter what, I will help you do it!"

"Am I not trading my soul, then?"

"This, if you are reluctant, then there is no way, Kunlun Haoyuxin rarely appears once, if I miss this opportunity, I will have to wait for you to be born again, I am not afraid to wait, but Jizo can't afford to wait, this is a matter of hell's survival, if he didn't have to stay in the world and become a fish, maybe it wouldn't be me who is talking to you now!

Ah Bao was stunned for a moment: "What did you just say?"

"That's right," the Grim Reaper looked very unassured, "after all, I can understand, who wants to live with only one tree for five hundred years?"

Seeing that Ah Bao was silent, the god of death had no choice but to put on a slightly tough attitude: "In short, the matter has come to this, even if you don't want to, I will always follow you, the magnetic field of Kunlun Haoyu's heart is too strong, it will be easily discovered!"

"If I don't say yes, you'll follow me until one lifetime I'll promise you. Po sneered to himself as he muttered to himself.

"I can't help myself, it's just a routine!"

"The deadline is only five hundred years?" In the face of her chattering persistence, Po's attitude seemed to change somewhat.

"Of course, when the five hundred years come, I will return it to you immediately!" Death looked very happy.

"Well, I promise you, in five hundred years, you will give me back my freedom. ”

This sudden change made the Grim Reaper smile, and she must not have imagined that the reason why Po would agree was because he suddenly remembered something someone had said, a word that had been engraved in her mind for a long time.

The Grim Reaper thought that Po would be able to leave with her now, but when he saw that he still had a reluctant expression, he asked considerately, "Do you still have something that you can't let go?"

"Yes, I have a lover who is still waiting for me to go back. ”

"Alas, you humans, I know it! It's been like this every time before, since you can't help it, then go back and see her, it's a big deal I'll help you!"

"I'm not qualified anymore. Po was gloomy.

"Why do you say that? Do you need qualifications to love someone?"

"Of course you do, love needs commitment, I promised that I would go back alive to marry her, but I didn't do it. ”

"'Commitment is the poison of love, and if it is not fulfilled its antidote, it will soon wither. Death said thoughtfully, "I seem to have heard anyone say such a thing." It seems that commitment is really important, if you don't mind, I'll take care of her for you!"

"Really, how do you take care of her? Can you help her find a lifetime of happiness?"

Death shook his head, "At least I will protect her life! Helping others find happiness is an extremely difficult task, it depends on her own blessings!"

Ah Bao pondered for a long time before muttering, "Okay, as long as you help me take care of her, I am willing to hand over my heart." Only, can I go back and see her one last time?"

"Don't worry, I will never break my promise! Next, please lie down, I will extend your life for another day!"

As he spoke, a sea-blue rolling magnetic light spread from the Grim Reaper's palm to Po's limbs.
