The story has come to an end for the time being, and the next things are all the personal experiences of Sinan and Xiuhe, and there is no need for Qiao Ke to repeat it again. And as Qiao Ke fell silent, the atmosphere in the hall suddenly became heavy, and several people sat silently in place, no one knowing what they should say at this time.

About a stick of incense has passed, and Xiuhe has made a move first. He raised his head and looked at Mrs. Xu's room, and then grabbed the void with his right hand, and a yellowed book was held in his hand. As he slowly flipped through the book, he asked Jocquet:

"Grandma Xu is dead, except for a few of us present, who else knows?"

"No, I haven't spoken to anyone since I brought her back here, and no one here has seen her except the security guard who saw us. ”

Qiao Ke knew that Xiuhe was trying to find a way to help him, so when answering the question, he seemed very urgent. However, Xiu's movements were not affected by Qiao Ke, he still turned the pages of the book in silence, and after a long while, he continued to speak to Qiao Ke:

"According to the book of life and death, the old man should have died two months ago, and it is not easy for you to delay her time for two months. However, the destiny has been determined, and if you want to change your destiny against the heavens, this price will inevitably be borne by the two of you. If she is really a wandering spirit, she can still stay in the world. But in her current state, if she stays for a few more days, not only will her body turn into a pile of white bones, but her soul will also completely dissipate, and there will be no possibility of reincarnation. ”

"But you said you wanted to help ......"

After hearing Xiuhe's words, Qiao Ke's eager tone was already full of despair. With red eyes, he looked at Xiuhe in a pleading manner. Xiuhe waved his hand at him and directly interrupted his words.

"She has always been human, and no one can live forever, this is an eternal fact. I know you are reluctant to leave her, but life and death are human nature, even if you don't want to accept it, she must accept it. If she hadn't died, I, as the King of Hades, would naturally have the ability to change her lifespan, and it wouldn't be a problem to extend it by three or five years. But she's dead, and I can't bring her back from the dead. But since I promised you, then I will definitely not forcibly bring her soul back to the underworld at this time. Fortunately, you hid the fact of her death in the human world, and gathered the yang energy of one hundred and eighteen people, which can be regarded as a mistake and yang to help her once. I will do my best to delay you for another three months, but after three months, you must let her go back to the underworld. If you persist, you'll only wait for her to be gone. ”

Xiuhe himself knew that if he said these words, it would be a great blow to Qiao Ke. But he had to tell him these facts, because it was not only out of his responsibility as Hades, but also out of a god's respect for the nature of the Heavenly Dao, and out of the affection he poured into this story.

People always like to covet the happiness in front of them, and they can't let go of it. But true happiness is the process of loving and being loved through ups and downs, not just a temporary result. They still have a long way to go, and if he can't accept her death now, then all their possibilities after that will come to an end at this time.

As Xiu He expected, Qiao Ke seemed to have received a huge blow after hearing these words. He sat down at the table, choking back tears, his hands clasped together. He turned his head to look at Xiuhe several times, as if he had made a decision, but every time he wanted to speak, the words stopped at his lips, and he struggled for a long time without saying a word.

The choice between life and death was the most difficult, and no one urged Qiao Ke to make this decision. And just as he hesitated, a faint moan came from Mrs. Xu's room.

The sound was almost inaudible, but the few people were not ordinary humans, so they could hear it clearly. Qiao Ke's face changed suddenly, and he immediately rushed to the room to see the old man's condition. Sinan and the others followed, and when they arrived, they only saw the old man lying on the bed with his eyes closed, and his body had begun to turn into dust a little bit.

"No time......"

Xiu He muttered this, and then regardless of the reaction of the others, he stepped forward and pushed Qiao Ke away directly, preparing to cast a spell. Qiao Ke was like a puppet with a lost soul, standing next to Xiuhe, only crying non-stop, and no other movements. Sinan sighed when he looked at all this in front of him, and in order to avoid affecting the peace, he called Qiansheng together and took Qiao Ke out.

The waiting process is always long, and during this time, Jocke's tears have not stopped. After waiting for a cup of tea, Xiuhe had not yet come out of the room, and Qiansheng on the side was really a little unable to sit still, so he got up and wanted to explore the situation in the house. In order to avoid the repair being affected, Sinan got up and stopped Qiansheng. Qiansheng was afraid of Sinan, and when he was stopped by Sinan, he didn't dare to argue, but muttered a few words dissatisfiedly, and sat back in his original position. Instead, Sinan walked to the opposite of Qiao Ke and sat down, looked at him seriously and firmly, and finally spoke:

"Death is not the end, but a new beginning. ”

Sinan didn't say much, but every word fell on Qiao Ke's heart, carrying the weight of a thousand catties. Qiao Ke stopped his tears and looked directly into Sinan's eyes for the first time, trying to read the meaning of these words from his eyes. But the longer he looked at it, the more he felt that in Sinan's eyes, there seemed to be three different eyes.

"You ......"

"As long as she can be reincarnated, you still have a chance. ”

When Sinan said this, Xiuhe happened to come out of the room. Qiao Ke wanted to say something more, but as soon as he saw Xiuhe, he nodded at Sinan guiltily and immediately ran to the old man's room. Sinan bent his lips slightly at the already empty seat, and then stood up and walked to Xiuhe's side.

"The matter is settled, let's go. ”

"You little monkey cub, Lao Tzu has worked so hard to let Lao Tzu rest for a while and leave, and it's not that you are in a hurry to reincarnate. ”

"Your old man is the king of Hades, he can't die, and if you don't leave, you will stay here and disturb others?"

"Okay, okay, you're right, let's go, let's ......"

Xiu He walked towards the gate with a sad and angry face, but before he could take two steps, he heard Qiansheng's voice sound behind them:

"Thank you...... Thank you for your willingness to help. ”

This was the first time that Qiansheng had spoken to the two of them so solemnly, and there was a faint cry in his voice. Xiu He smiled, didn't look back, turned his back to Qiansheng and continued to walk forward, and said:

"Qiao Ke is lucky to have a friend like you, there is still a long way to go, boy, thank you for your hard work. ”

The figures of the two gradually disappeared into Qiansheng's eyes with the voice, and Qiansheng walked to the old man's room and quietly watched Qiao Ke carefully tuck the quilt corner of the old man who had become a living person.

Feeling Qiansheng's gaze, Qiao Ke raised his head and smiled softly at him. There was happiness and satisfaction in that smile that Qian Sheng had never seen, and when Qian Sheng looked at it, all the words he wanted to say turned into a hug.

It is true that there is still a long way to go, but fortunately, you will never be alone.
