Monument of Life and Death

  ***

  In the room where the paper books were flying, a white-gold ball of light suddenly appeared.

  Lao Mu raised his eyes from the paper and looked at the ball of light.

  The booklets floating in mid-air gathered neatly towards the surroundings of the room, clearing out the center of the room. The ball of light gradually became larger. After a few seconds, the light color dissipated, leaving behind two clear figures.

  Lao Mu put down the pen in his hand, adjusted the frame of his glasses, pushed away the chair, and stood up.

  The figure hurriedly approached, Lao Mu looked deeply, and nodded slightly towards the figure.

   "My lord."

   "Old...Hello, Lord Tianshen," Wu Ren's frown stretched a little inexplicably when he saw Lao Mu's face, "Master Tianshen, I have something to ask you."

  Hearing that Wu Ren used the word "begging", Lao Mu couldn't help feeling terrified.

  When this robber-like lord **** asks himself to do things, he always takes it for granted. Such a thick-skinned lord **** used the word "begging" embarrassingly today.

   It can be seen that what she asked for this time must be unusual.

  Old Mu gently lifted his chin with the knuckle of his index finger, and was silent for a moment.

  Seeing that Lao Mu stopped talking, Wu Ren continued to ask, "Do you know about Laogou Luo?"

   Sure enough.

  Old Mu sighed.

"I guessed it, you will come to me because of Laogou Luo," Lao Mu shook his head and said, "Wu Ren, I told you that everyone has a destiny, and destiny cannot be violated. It's all over, I gave him a chance to choose, whether to be reincarnated or remain as a ghost messenger... I have already told him that if he chooses the path of a ghost messenger, he can indeed accompany Luo Jiutian for a short period of time, but The final outcome will be the exhaustion of spiritual energy..."

   "I know," Wu Ren interrupted directly, too lazy to listen to Lao Mu's lecture, "but it's different this time."

"Because...Luo Laogou is the father of the next human god?" Lao Mu said, "Wu Ren, even as a ghost messenger, Luo Laogou can't stay by the human god's side forever, you should also know this, Luo Jiutian sooner or later To grow."

   "It's different, it's really different this time," Wu Ren turned his head to look at the baby next to him, "You...even if you don't believe me, you have to trust the baby...let the baby tell you."

  The baby's face is calm, but his nodding is firm.

   "My lord, let Luo Laogou change his life, not just for the new god," the baby spoke a lot faster, and the anxiety in the atmosphere became stronger, "It's also for...her."

  The baby hesitated for a few seconds, but still couldn't say "her" name.

  Old Mu looked at the baby in confusion, and after pondering for a while, his eyes fell on Wu Ren's face again.

  Seeing Lao Mu looking over, Wu Ren subconsciously looked away. She lowered her head and remained silent.

   Seeing Wu Ren's reaction like this, Lao Mu finally understood who "she" was referring to.

   "I see." Lao Mu spit out a few words dryly.

  Wu Ren and Bao Bao looked at each other and sighed almost simultaneously.

   "So..." Wu Ren said tentatively.

  Old Mu still didn't speak, just looked deep in thought.

   Wu Ren felt that a long, long time had passed.

  Finally, Lao Mu responded.

  He lightly raised his left hand, and pointed his left fingertips in the direction of the desk. The pen on the desk immediately rose into the air, and after spinning a few times in mid-air, it just fell into his fingertips.

   "Let's go," Lao Mu put away his pen, and walked towards the door of the office, "I'll take you to meet someone."

  ***

  The door opens.

  The person in the door tilted her head, and her slender ears moved slightly. She put down the book, sat up straight, and looked forward.

  The white light outside the door enveloped the figure in front.

   is not a familiar outline.

   Several people walked into the room, and their figures gradually became clear.

  She slightly widened her eyes.

   "Master Tenjin? And... this is..."

   "Long time no see, Cen Hua," Wu Ren looked at the person in front of him tenderly, "Are you okay?"

   "Man...Master Man and God," the matter was completely beyond Cen Hua's expectations. Cen Hua held the pen and looked at the three of them in bewilderment, "Why all of a sudden..."

  Before Wu Ren and Lao Mu spoke, there was a gasping voice outside the door.

  The three turned their heads.

  Rong Fa held the food box and stared at the three of them dumbfounded.

   It can be seen that his not so good head is spinning rapidly.

  The current situation is...

   Rongfa stepped into the room with a big stride, and knelt down in front of Lao Mu.

   "My lord, no...can't..."

  Lao Mu's expression was very ugly, he frowned, raised his right hand, his hair seemed to be wrapped by a gust of wind, and fell lightly to Cen Hua's side.

   "You don't have to be afraid, Lord Human God didn't come to trouble Cen Hua," Lao Mu said seriously, "We are here because we need your help."

   Help?

  Cen Hua lifted Rongfa up, and Rongfa leaned against Cen Hua, his androgynous face was so beautiful that it seemed to be shining.

   "Need my help..." Cen Hua straightened his back and said with a little self-mockery, "Is there anything else I can do?"

   "Only you can do this," Lao Mu said, "It's just... it might be dangerous."

  Rongfa grabbed Cen Hua's arm nervously, Cen Hua didn't change his face, and only patted the back of his hand lightly.

"I'm not afraid of danger, after all, I'm still alive, it's already a gift," Cen Hua said slowly in her characteristic slow and soft tone, "I don't know why, but I need the help of a person with crippled legs? "

   "Legs?"

  Wu Ren looked at Cen Hua's legs covered under the long skirt, his eyes could not bear it.

   "I'm sorry, Cen Hua," Wu Ren said, "I didn't protect you well."

"No, my lord, I don't mean that," Cen Hua shook his head, "I just want to say, now that Cen Hua has lost all his spiritual power and his legs are useless, I'm afraid... I can't help you and my lord as before. Yes, I..."

  Cen Hua wanted to refuse.

  Wu Ren discovered Cen Hua's true attitude, so she resolutely took out her trump card.

   "Cen Hua, you must help me with this matter." Wu Ren's eyes were wet, but his gaze was firm. "This matter is related to Xiao Lan."

   Another unexpected name.

  Cen Hua stared at Wu Ren in surprise, for a while, she pursed her lips silently.

  Xiao Lan.

  ***

  Xiao Lan looked at herself reflected in the black water.

  Someone is monitoring their dreams.

  After the discussion just now, they all agreed that since that person has the ability to monitor Xiaolan's dreams, he also has the ability to monitor their current environment.

   So the upshot of the discussion is -- they don't talk about it now.

   After all, they are not the only participants, there is also an invisible person.

  As soon as she thought that she was being watched, Xiaolan felt that something was wrong.

  Looking at her own reflection, Xiaolan even felt that the figure gradually became strange.
