I asked, "You don't have a soul?!" ”

Aoi frowned slightly. "You don't know?"

"Senior Fu didn't say it, how could I know. I'm just surmising from the environment here that you're immortal. But I didn't expect it...... You don't have a soul. ”

"Do you regret it?"

I laughed and said, "Why? It doesn't matter to me what you are at all, the important thing is that you stay with me forever. On the contrary, you have no soul, which is better for me. ”

"Why?"

"You see, you're too anxious, and you're in a hurry to tie up with me without even asking me about my situation. But that's fine, so you won't regret it. I pulled him to sit on the floor and continued, "I am the opposite of you, you are soulless, and I am bodyless. I have a soul that will never enter reincarnation, and I can only rely on Hades's kindness to reward me with a few opportunities to borrow the corpse to return my soul. My body was borrowed! But as soon as this body dies, I will be sealed away when I return to the underworld, and I will be alone! Fortunately, you have an immortal body, ordinary people can't enter the underworld, but you're different, you're immortal! Coupled with the fact that you have a contract with me, it is not illegal to pull you to me. Besides, a soulless person is not counted in the Three Realms at all, is not bound by the Three Realms, and there is no restriction on which world you can go to, and your existence is too important to me. But...... The premise is that you want to follow me, I said, I will give you complete freedom, if you don't like to go to other worlds with me, I will never use a contract to bind you, so ......"

"Where is Miss, where am I going! Whether it's heaven or earth, or even hell. As long as you are in the world, there must be me! I will always follow you! Whatever you want to do, for better or worse, I'll do it for you. Later...... Miss, you are my whole world, I only live for you, Miss, thank you for giving me the motivation to live. ”

"Aoi...... Thank you. ”

Qingping suddenly stepped in between the two of us, and said impatiently: "Don't talk about you two first, I've been waiting next to me for a long time." She pointed to Senior Fu and said to me, "What about our uncle and grandfather?" I don't want to leave him here alone, I want to take my uncle and grandfather home. ”

"What can I do? People can't take it back, they can only bring ashes. ”

"But ......, Uncle Lianhua...... I haven't seen my uncle and grandfather for the last time! And...... Grandma must also want to see his brother ......, and grandpa......"

The more Qingping spoke, the more his voice trembled, and tears fell again. Seeing her crying so much, I really couldn't bear to hit her, but I really didn't have anything to do. Or Aoi came out to relieve the siege, he said that he had a way to bring Mr. back, after saying that, he walked to the stone bed, kowtowed three times, and then got up and approached Senior Fu, put his hand on the senior, and the senior suddenly disappeared. Then he explained the reason to us: it turned out that Aoi was not only soulless, he was not a real person, he didn't know what he was, he only knew that his body was connected to a pitch-black, boundless space, and he felt that he was that space, and that space was himself. He had been living in darkness, formless, and he didn't know when he came into the world and became a man. He said that he had lived in this world for a long, long time, and if there was one word to describe the time he lived, he would only think of "eternal". I don't know when he found himself able to put things into his space at will and take them out at will, but only for inanimate things. Anyway, it's good that the problem is solved anyway.

After reorganizing our thoughts, we returned to square one, remembering the purpose of entering the cave. But God didn't give us time to continue investigating, and the earthquake started again, and this time it was quite violent, and the cave shook very badly, and there were signs of collapse. The three of us had to flee as fast as we could, and as we ran, the hole collapsed, as if we were pinching time, and as soon as we ran out of the hole, the cave was sealed by a large rock falling from above.

Originally, Kiyohei and I were a little desperate, but Aoi's next words rekindled hope for us. According to what he said, the reason why Senior Fu and he are here is to wait for me, and then to rescue me and the county lord of Qingping. At the beginning, Senior Fu made two preparations, and the reason why he went to great lengths to enter Shi Qing's hiding place was that in addition to the two reasons just now, there was another important reason, that is, Cheng Fang, Shi Qing's wife. Senior Fu wanted to rescue her, and then let her persuade Shi Yan to let go of her hatred, but unfortunately we were late, Cheng Fang had already become dry bones when we arrived, Senior Fu had to give up this plan, continue the previous arrangement, and leave me in the cave to wait for the arrival of the two of us.

I wondered, "Wait for ...... of us?" Does this mean that we both have to be together? ”

Aoi nodded. "The key to getting out is on the two of you."

I thought for a moment, and said in unison: "It's a bell!" ”

Aoi explained: "That's right, it's a bell, the appearance of this bell is just a disguise, in fact, the two small bells on Shi Qing's bracelet are two small magic stones inside, and this bracelet was originally left by Shi Qing for his daughter to enter and exit the enchantment." By merging the two small bells into a bracelet and using magic to activate them, an exit can be opened in the barrier. ”

Qingping hurriedly said: "Then what are you waiting for?" Rong'er, let's ......" She suddenly remembered something, her tone suddenly turned low, and said, "However, this bracelet can't be taken off at all." ”

Aoi asked us to pick each other and try it, and to our surprise, we took off each other's bracelets with ease without any effort. Aoi said that this was a small confinement set by Fu's seniors, just to prevent others from snatching the bracelet and ruining the future of the two of us. I couldn't help but sigh: Senior Fu is really amazing!

With a way to get out, we couldn't hold back our eagerness to get out, and we couldn't wait to get out of this cage immediately. But Aoi stopped us, firstly, because it was getting late and the time was not right. The second is that there is a teleportation array on the barrier, and we will definitely be transported to other places when we come out, because we don't know anything, so we must be fully prepared to avoid danger. Aoi's words made it impossible for the two of us to refute it, so we had to suppress our excitement and honestly go back to pack our things and set off again the next day.

Because Aoi was there, we didn't need to worry about all the preparations, and because we were so excited, we couldn't sleep, so we sat under the banyan tree and chatted. Qingping chatted a little absent-mindedly, her hand always unconsciously touched the purse around her waist, but her eyes kept glancing at the lonely grave in the distance.

"You want to take her away?"

Qingping was stunned by my question, and said, "I don't know." I hate Shi Yan, she forced my double ...... to death My mother, who hurt my brother, I hate her to death! But ......"

"But you have lived alone here for more than 200 years, and you can understand Cheng Fang's feelings of waiting for her family here alone, so you don't want to leave her alone in this 'prison'. Because you can understand her desire to see her family, you want to send her to her daughter? I stared into her eyes, but she looked away. I sighed and said, "We're never going to come to this place a second time, and looking at the pattern of today's earthquake, I don't think it's far from a volcanic eruption." If you really want to take her, let's dig her up and cremate her and take the ashes out. If you don't want to take it, don't think about it again when you go out, and erase it from your memory forever. ”

"Rong'er, if you were you, would you take her away?"

"You don't need to change it, I also hate Shi Yan's little slut! I can't wait for her to find her mother for the rest of her life, and she will be miserable forever! Qingping just wanted to speak, but I didn't give her a chance to speak, and continued: "But ......, I hate Shi Yan and have nothing to do with her mother, and her mother didn't hurt me. The so-called sin is not as good as a relative, I don't want to be Shi Yan's kind of person! Again...... Whether you admit it or not, the two of us can live thanks to Shi Qing's part. Even if I was a stranger, I would want to help such a poor woman when I saw her. I have no objection to this, it is up to you, and your hatred is deeper than mine. ”

"It's easier said than done to ...... it, but it's hard to do." Qingping got up and dusted off the dust behind him, and shook his head without looking back: "Help!" ”

Looking at Qingping's firm back, I suddenly have an unprecedented expectation for the future, although the future is still calamity, but my heart is full of infinite desire at the moment, I want to change! I want the future! I want Master's family! I want brothers and friends! I...... I want Xiao Hanqi!

I'm going to condemn him! At this moment, I am finally no longer confused!

Early the next morning, with the help of Aoi, we easily left the "prison" and regained our freedom, taking a new step towards the new life that I had longed for for a long time but had been avoiding because of cowering......
