Xiuhe's eyes seemed dazed and empty at this moment, as if his consciousness had left this body and floated far away. Although I understood that I should not interfere more in Mo Bai's affairs, but seeing him like this, I still couldn't help asking:
"Why can't you tell Mo Bai the truth? And even if you can't say it, then you should at least give him a complete and convincing reason, which must be a thousand times better than if you always trapped him with his guilt for you, right?"
When I said this, I kept thinking about Mobai's persistence that day, so my tone was not so polite. Xiu He listened to me, his chin was lifted, his eyes were still flickering, and he said to me:
"How do you explain it? The more I explained, the more he wanted to get to the bottom of it, and according to his nature, as long as he gave him a clue, he could dig up the whole thing. Yes, he's figured it out, and then? Will he be in pain again? After the last Heavenly Punishment, he was left with only a spirit, and next time, what else could he bet on? Is his life? Do I have to watch him die?"
"You just ...... You were talking about heavenly punishment?"
When I heard Xiuhe mention this word, I was so shocked that I almost jumped up from the stool, and almost panicked to go to the initiates and confirm. Xiuhe turned his head and glanced at me, and said with a slight sarcasm in his tone:
"Look, you've all reacted like this, so what do you think Mobai would do when he heard it?"
"No...... No...... How could Mo Bai have been punished by heaven? No one who has been punished by heaven can survive......
I muttered my doubts quietly, not daring to let Xiu He hear my questioning of him. However, this still did not hide Xiuhe's ears, and when I finished speaking, he immediately glanced at me sideways and snorted coldly:
"What's wrong with the heavenly punishment, I won't let him die, even if he is punished by heaven a hundred times, he won't die. ”
"Then he hasn't turned into a spirit and stayed in the underworld, and he can't go anywhere......"
"Nonsense, he offended the Emperor of Heaven, it's good that Lao Tzu can keep his spirit body, and what do you want me to do!"
"Offended the Emperor of Heaven?"
"Oh, Su Qing is confused, you little girl, if you say a few more words, I have to be tricked by you for all this secret, I won't talk about it. Oh yes, since Mo Bai believes in you, I'll leave the matter of persuading him to you, and I can't say anything to him, understand?"
In an instant, Xiuhe gathered his momentum that no one was afraid of, and changed back to his previous appearance. I was dumbfounded and forced to accept his change of face faster than a book, and I felt as if I had been deceived.
"No, I took so much effort to come to the underworld to let you pass it away, right?"
"Otherwise, what else do you want?"
Xiuhe's expression of course made me very angry, and I glared at him angrily for a while, and in an instant, I came up with a very ideal trading condition.
"I can help you stabilize Mo Bai, but you have to promise me to do one thing for me. ”
"As long as I can do it, let alone one, even a hundred. ”
"Very good, the matter of the Five Fingers Mountain is left to you to investigate, and at the same time, I want to find the reincarnation of the six-eared macaque. ”
I was so confident that I spread out my conditions, and at first I didn't react, but when he heard the second one, he rejected me outright.
