Monument of Life and Death

   Chapter 781 No Escape (6000 words)

  The screen turned again, and the location was still the Mystery Bureau, but it was dawn.

   At this time, Lao Luo was already an elderly Lao Luo. He stood in front of the window with his back to himself. Xiaolan turned his head and looked around. This seemed to be Lao Luo's bedroom.

It was the first time I saw Lao Luo's bedroom. The bedroom was simple, but clean and tidy. The bed was covered with light gray sheets, and there were two photo frames on the bedside table. One of them was a picture of Lao Luo holding Luo Jiutian's shoulders. The man stood on a green field, with his back facing the distant mountains and the rising sun, smiling brightly, and the other was a group photo of a young Lao Luo and a woman, holding a baby in their arms. Luo Jiutian, this woman should be Lao Luo's deceased wife. The woman's face is soft and elegant, and her smile is weak but warm.

  Xiaolan looked at Lao Luo's tall and straight back and sighed.

   For a long time, Lao Luo was only a "good boss" in their eyes. They only knew that Lao Luo's strength was unfathomable, but they ignored that he was actually a lonely middle-aged man.

   Including Luo Jiutian himself, probably won't think about this often.

  Xiaolan approached Lao Luo and found that he was not looking at the scenery outside the window, but his mobile phone.

   Lao Luo was holding the edge of the window with one hand and the phone with the other, staring at the phone screen.

  Xiao Lan stood on tiptoe and looked at the phone screen, and saw the familiar WeChat avatar at a glance.

   is Wu Ren.

   The conversation between the two stopped at Wu Ren's sentence, "Lao Luo, Bao Bao and I have something to talk to you about."

  Xiaolan looked up again.

   "President, there seems to be a sign of awakening in Jiutian."

   This is Lao Luo's last sentence.

   Wake up.

  Xiaolan searched for clues about the time of this conversation, and finally found a desk calendar standing on a long wooden table beside him.

   was two years ago.

   Two years ago, Luo Jiutian had already shown signs of awakening.

   At this moment, Lao Luo sighed slightly, then put down his phone and looked out the window, as if he was looking for something.

   After a few seconds, he found his target, turned away from the window, and walked towards the gate.

  Xiaolan followed him out of the bedroom, and happened to see two figures walking in from the front door.

   It's Wu Ren and the baby again.

  It turns out that they have already come.

   "President," Lao Luo hurriedly approached the two with a worried look on his face, "Nine days he..."

   "We know about Jiutian," Wu Ren reached out and interrupted Lao Luo, "Lao Luo, you don't have to worry about Jiutian, in fact, we have something to tell you."

   Lao Luo closed his mouth.

   Wu Ren and Bao Bao exchanged heavy glances, and in the next few minutes, they described the rules of God's life word by word.

   "Although it's cruel, but destiny is like this, we have no choice," Bao Bao said slowly, "God's destiny on the biological father and son has never happened before, Lao Luo, I understand your feelings, but..."

   "In other words, if I want to live for nine days, I have to die." Lao Luo interrupted the baby, his eyes burning hot.

"Theoretically, it's like this, but it's not that simple, Lao Luo, I know what you're thinking, you should let go of that idea as soon as possible," Wu Ren hurriedly said, "It's not any of us who will be able to take over. After all, if you really do something stupid, you will only...you will only be blamed by God."

   "Heaven's responsibility..." Lao Luo's pupils didn't move, his eyelids didn't blink, "Is it the heaven's responsibility that fell on me? As long as my son is safe, then..."

   "God's punishment, neither of you can escape," the baby's voice suddenly became a little deep, "This is the rule."

   Wu Ren's eyes fell for a moment, then raised again, "Lao Luo, we have high hopes for you, you should know which is more important, right? Are all living beings less important than your son?"

   Lao Luo slowly shook his head, then nodded with a wry smile.

   "Once upon a time, I might have thought so..."

   "But right now, to me, nothing is as important as my nine days."

   Bao Bao and Wu Ren were silent, looking at Lao Luo, whose eyes were filled with determination.

"We expected you to be like this," Wu Ren said softly, "but the awakening Chu Zhao has already appeared in you, and Jiu Tian has only appeared now. If you want to change everything before Tian makes a decision, you can only Do you think it is possible for Jiutian to catch up with your strength as soon as possible?"

   Lao Luo's figure swayed, "I will... I will train him, my son will be stronger than me."

   "Then you go," Wu Ren shook his head in disappointment, "if there is still time."

   "In time."

"hope so."

   "It's too late..."

   "I will never... never leave Jiutian..."

   In Lao Luo's old voice, the scene gradually blurred, and when the next scene appeared, Xiaolan was surprised to see herself.

  Lao Luo stood in the corridor of the Xuanji Bureau, turned the screen of his mobile phone to his palm, turned his head, and smiled at Xiaolan in the scene.

   is that night!

   When Xiaolan was sleepwalking that night, he saw Lao Luo standing at the door of Luo Jiutian's room. He was holding a mobile phone and chatting with someone, and he remembered later that it was Wu Ren who was chatting with him at that time.

After    put Xiaolan aside, Lao Luo restrained his smile, glanced at his son's room, took heavy steps, and left.

   The next scene is finally out of the mystery game.

   is the Jiutan station.

   Xiaolan saw Jasmine.

   Healthy, whole jasmine.

   Xiaolan's nose was sour and she almost cried.

   Lao Luo and Jasmine explained something, and after they finished speaking, they turned around, got into the car in a hurry, and drove away without looking back.

  Jasmine watched the car drive away, her slender brows slightly wrinkled, and then spread out.

   "Master, why did Director Luo want to leave at this time?" a person beside him asked Jasmine.

  Jasmine shook her head, "I don't know either, it must be urgent, but don't worry, Uncle Luo has arranged everything and everything will be fine."

   "But I always feel like..."

   "Don't think so," Jasmine cheered up and smiled at the young boy behind her, "Even if something happened, isn't it still me?"

   "Is it okay with Director Luo?"

   "Uncle Luo... He has his own ideas. Uncle Luo is so powerful, his decision must be right, don't worry."

  Xiaolan stood on the long road in front of Jiutan's station, looked at Jasmine's back as she walked towards the main building, and looked at the car carrying Lao Luo towards the end of the day, which gradually disappeared into the sky.

   She seemed to hear the cry of fate.

  The screen disappeared a little bit, and the crying became louder.

   is Luo Jiutian's cry.

   Laomu and Wu Ren put down their hands and looked down at Luo Jiutian who was kneeling on the ground.

   Such a heart-rending cry.

   Luo Jiutian curled up on the ground in pain, he hugged his body tightly, and hit the ground with his head.

   Laomu stopped Qu Lianfan and Shen Fu who were trying to stop him. With a touch of his left index finger, the ground under Luo Jiutian was no longer so hard.

   Luo Jiutian's sadness reflected in their hearts through his desperate cries, through every inch of his twitching body.

   Wu Ren and Bao Bao looked at him quietly. After a long while, Bao Bao glanced up at Wu Ren, and Wu Ren's eyes drifted to Xiaolan, but only stayed on her for half a second, and then quickly moved away.

   Qin Yin and Wen Ling both burst into tears, and Shen Fu's eyes turned red.

   Baomu wanted to go forward, but was pulled by the Taoist priest's arm.

   "The Taoist priest..." Baomu also cried.

   "He has to accept," the Taoist priest's voice was a little hoarse, "he has to grow up."

growing up.

  Xiaolan unconsciously smiled bitterly.

   Is this growth?

   After an unknown period of time, Luo Jiutian was almost too dumb to cry. He crouched down on the ground, and it seemed that it became difficult to breathe.

   Xiaolan just wanted to step forward, but Laomu walked over.

   He pulled Luo Jiutian's left arm with one hand and wrapped his shoulders with the other hand, and easily lifted Luo Jiutian to the chair.

   Luo Jiutian's body was still a little unstable, and the others hurriedly surrounded him and hurriedly comforted him.

   Wu Ren retreated to Laomu's desk, resumed the posture of holding his arms, and asked, "Jiutian, you already know everything, and you should accept it too."

  Baby walked directly in front of Luo Jiutian, she squatted down and looked directly at Luo Jiutian's red and swollen eyes, "Jiutian, it's time for you to make a decision."

  Luo Jiutian's body was still shaking, his tears had dried up, he looked at the baby and opened his mouth, although there was no sound, they still understood his words, "What decision?..."

   "The responsibility of man and god," Wu Ren said indifferently, "do you choose to take on the responsibility that is about to fall on you?"

   Qin Yin held Luo Jiutian's hand distressedly, and while crying, he looked back at Wu Ren, "Can't you ask again in a few days? Give me a few days to slow down..."

   "Slowly..." Wu Ren laughed self-deprecatingly, "I also wanted to slow down, but at the beginning...Oh, forget it, let's not talk about it, nine days, right now, I want to hear your answer."

   Jiutian sobbed and looked at Wu Ren's firm eyes.

   A young boy, a boy who has been pampered for twenty years, faces a tsunami-like fate.

   He nodded.

"I accept."

   Everyone was a little surprised.

   Xiaolan didn't expect that Luo Jiutian agreed.

   This answer also seemed to be beyond Wu Ren's expectations, she put down her arms, her pupils were bright, "Really?"

   "I accept," Luo Jiutian forced himself to sit up straight, as if two fires were burning in his eyes, "I will become a new god, and I will accomplish what my father wants me to accomplish."

   Laomu stared at Luo Jiutian approvingly, nodded slightly, and wiped a smile from the corner of his mouth.

   "Nine days..." Wu Ren didn't know what to say, "You are stronger than I thought."

   "Lao Luo's words are right," Bao Bao patted Luo Jiutian's knee and stood up, "Jiutian this kid is amazing, little god, it seems that we all underestimate him."

   Wu Ren nodded silently.

The atmosphere gradually stabilized, Lao Mu glanced at everyone, he supported his mirror frame, cleared his throat and said, "Master Renshen, since your successor has confirmed the mission, now... I can introduce us to you. Isn't the new entrant in the courtroom bad?"

  Wu Ren seemed to be in a good mood. She squinted at Laomu and snorted, "It's almost there."

   "New ghost errand?" Xiaolan asked, "Isn't that husband Shen?"

  Shen Fu was stunned for a moment, "I've already turned regular, not a new employee."

   "Are there any other new ghosts?" Qin Yin asked with a face.

  Wang Ling rubbed her eyes, she looked at Lao Mu, her eyes lit up.

   "It's him!" she exclaimed in surprise.

   "Who?" Fool and Baomu were at a loss, "Who did Qi Ling see?"

   Luo Jiutian's eyes were drawn to the past.

   "Okay, let's not talk about it," Wu Ren walked to Luo Jiutian's side and patted him on the shoulder, "Jiutian, let's meet the new ghost messenger of Lord Tianshen."

  Luo Jiutian stood up in a daze, looking at the mysterious old wood.

   Laomu took the pen out of his pocket and pointed behind him. After a while, a figure slowly appeared in that position.

   The outline is gradually clear.

   Xiaolan's eyes widened.

   "Nine days."

  Tall stature, dark face.

  Old Luo stood there with his hands behind his back, facing Luo Jiutian in front of him, smiling.

   Luo Jiutian stood there in disbelief, motionless.

   "Nine days," Lao Luo took the initiative to stretch out his hand and said with a smile, "Why, don't you want dad?"

   Luo Jiutian's chin trembled, and two lines of crystal droplets slammed onto the ground.

   "Father!"

Luo Jiutian flew towards Lao Luo, and when he was about to rush to Lao Luo, he stopped suddenly, he hesitated to look at Lao Luo's body, "Dad...I...I can...I can... touch you?"

   Lao Luo smiled helplessly, grabbed his son's hand, and pulled him into his arms.

   "Father!...Father...Uuuu...Father...*%**&((&..."

They couldn't understand the rest of the words. They could only see the father and son hugging each other tightly. Luo Jiutian was crying bitterly. Lao Luo's eyes became more red and swollen. His throat was shaking, and he was also speechless. .

  Xiaolan also laughed and cried, everyone seemed to feel that they had never experienced such a beautiful thing.

   The feeling of being lost and found.

"So... so Lao Luo has become a ghost, isn't he?" Qin Yin wiped his tears and said, "Lao Mu...Laomu, you are such a good **** of death, you are not only handsome, but also kind...you will have good fortune. of……"

   Although it was inappropriate to say that for a god, the others nodded their heads in a sincere way.

  Laomu only waved his hand humbly in order to maintain his high-cold personality, "It has nothing to do with me, Lao Luo has the qualifications to become a ghost."

   Qu Lianfan said, "Our Laomu's heart has always been soft..."

   "Don't talk nonsense," Lao Mu glared at Qu Lianfan, "It is indeed Lao Luo's own outstanding ability, and it is my honor to have such a subordinate."

   "Uncle Luo..." Jasmine's trembling voice sounded from the corner.

   Lao Luo and Luo Jiutian looked at Jasmine's position together.

   "Uncle Luo..." Jasmine walked over little by little with the help of Wen Ling, "Uncle Luo...is that you?..."

   "Jasmine?" Lao Luo looked at Jasmine who looked like this dumbly, "What's wrong with your eyes?"

   By the way, Lao Luo didn't even know what happened to Jiutan.

   "Uncle Luo..." Jasmine burst into tears, "It's all my fault... I'm sorry for you... If it wasn't for me..."

   "Jasmine, don't worry, Jasmine is good..." Old Luo immediately grabbed Jasmine's arm and asked anxiously, "Where is Uncle Luo, what happened? Could it be He Yi..."

  The crowd told Lao Luo about the massacre with a heavy voice. The joy on Lao Luo's face disappeared little by little, and his sorrow surfaced little by little.

   "Jasmine, your eyes..."

   "Jasmine can't see anymore," Xiaolan lowered her head, "Jiutan suffered heavy casualties, and Ba Liangshui also lost a lot of people."

   "It's all my fault for not protecting them..." Jasmine said, "It's all me..."

   "Jasmine, didn't I tell you, it's not your fault at all," Luo Jiutian said, "Someone is designing us."

we?

   Daoist priest said, "What do you mean, you think that group of people is not only targeting Jiutan?"

"Actually, I should have thought about it, just because of my father... I suddenly forgot about it," Luo Jiutian said, sticking to Lao Luo again, "Assuming the Weiruozhai matter, Xu also really participated. , then their group didn't just want to deal with one Jiutan, they also attacked the three factions of Sanyan, Jiutan and Ba Liangshui. I suspect that their target may even be all aliens, all Nine factions."

   All aliens.

Xiaolan was stunned, she blinked her eyes, reacted for a while, then rubbed up to Lao Luo's side, tugged at his sleeve, and asked, "Uncle Luo, why did you set off for the fifth day before the day of Heyi? Ah?"

   Lao Luo lovingly stroked Xiaolan's hair, "I'm looking for Jiutian."

   "Jiutian?" The fool said in surprise, "Jiutian is not at the fifth watch, so he has been with us all the time."

   Xiaolan nodded, "We were always on Huolian Mountain at that time."

   "How could that be?" Lao Luo frowned, "It was Jiutian who called and told me that he was stationed at Wugentian in Wangluan City... Jiutian?"

   He looked at his son.

"There's no such thing," Luo Jiutian denied loudly, "At that time, we were all on Huolian Mountain, and there was no signal on the mountain, so we couldn't communicate with the outside world at all, Dad, if you don't believe me, ask the Master, I've been with the Master the whole time. ."

   The Taoist priest agreed, "What Jiutian said is correct."

   "This way..." Lao Luo's pupils became dark, "Someone actually deceived me as you, and he actually deceived me..."

   "Is the voice over the phone exactly the same as mine?" Luo Jiutian asked.

   "Voice, tone, tone, all the same," Lao Luo sighed, "And it's such a big thing mentioned, otherwise I wouldn't be so flustered..."

   "What's the big deal?"

   "What else?" Wu Ren replied, "The man told Lao Luo on the phone that you need him to help you wake up."

   "Father, how could you still be deceived by this reason?" Luo Jiutian said, "How did I know what a wake-up call was at that time?"

   "You know," Wu Ren took out a piece of coconut candy out of nowhere and said while eating, "Didn't you see candlelight?"

   "Candlelight?..." Luo Jiutian murmured, "So during that time, the strange light I often saw was..."

Wu Ren nodded and swallowed the candy, "Lao Luo's process of awakening was very smooth at the beginning, but you will faint almost every time you see the light, he has always been worried, and he is not less troubled by this matter. I, so as soon as I received your call, he rushed over immediately, he was just afraid that you would not be able to achieve divine awakening, but instead you would be taken away from the divine order and died directly."

   "Father..."

   Luo Jiutian was so moved that he wanted to hug his father again, but was brutally slapped away by Lao Luo.

   "This thing is so strange, why did that person let me go to the fifth watch?" Lao Luo asked.

   "Perhaps because Wang Luancheng is the farthest away from Fuxuan. If you go there, you won't be able to make it back in a short period of time," Jasmine guessed.

   "One more thing," Xiaolan said, "Uncle Luo, Tianlei, who received your divine order, just happened to help that grandfather Qiao who was at the fifth watch to survive the heavens. He is now Yutian."

   "It was because of Grandpa Moqin's attack that Jiutan and Ba Liangshui took a breath and saved some lives," Jasmine sighed.

"It can't be counted like this. Since it was Laoqiao who helped, that's Laoqiao's credit," Uncle Luo waved his hand freely, "I didn't know there was such a story, but it was a good thing for Laoqiao to break through the moat, so... Even if the target of the force behind it is all of our nine factions, it is not so easy now, Yutian can be close to a demigod, and in the human world, there is almost no force that can match it."

   "Don't worry, we still have two real bodies behind us, so we have two and a half gods..." Qin Yin said.

   "The gods and the gods cannot interfere with the affairs of the world," Lao Luo explained with a smile, "as long as the disputes in the world don't touch the rules of life and death, there is no need for them to interfere, otherwise, what is fair?"

   "Lao Luo is right," Wu Ren nodded heavily, "Jiutian, you have to remember this too, this is the basic quality of being a human being, so if you don't care about it, we don't care."

   "Then can I handle it now?"

   "Take care of yourself first," Wu Ren said, "You are just awakened now, you are still far from the enlightenment of God, so fight slowly."

The two gods have almost explained what they want to explain, Lao Mu looked at everyone and said, "Okay, since there is so much to say, please go back, everyone is living, in my courtyard. It's not good to stay too long..."

   Luo Jiutian hugged Lao Luo, "Then can I take my father away?"

   "What are you stupid kid saying? I'm a ghost, where are you going to take me?"

   "Didn't you say you wouldn't leave me?"

   "Didn't I come back?"

   "This doesn't count!" Luo Jiutian shouted sarcastically.

   Xiaolan has a black line.

   As soon as I remembered that this person was about to become a **** in this world, I felt…

but……

   She looked at Wu Ren who found a persimmon cake out of nowhere, watching the fun and eating the cake.

   But the current gods are not much better, so it seems that Jiutian is very close to the standard of becoming a human god.

"That's it, Lao Luo, you can go with them," Lao Mu said, flipping through the booklet in his hand, "Here in Wu Ting, we didn't see the hundreds of people you mentioned who died violently, which is very strange. You go and deal with this matter, this is the first job that Gui Ting gave you, go ahead."
