It’s just that in the future, the times I come back will become less and less.

After late at night.

The mother-in-law and children all went to sleep.

Gu Shen and Chu Ling left the orphanage and walked on the path in the mountains. The mountain breeze blew gently into their faces. After climbing over the mountain, they could see a distant river.

That's Qinghe.

The two of them stood on the top of the mountain. There was no moon in the sky tonight, and the stars were so bright that it seemed like they could reach out and pick them up.

The mountain breeze blew Chu Ling's clothes, and her long red skirt swayed in the wind.

"I know what you're thinking."

Chu Ling suddenly turned his back and faced Gu Shen.

She stood on the top of the mountain, with behind her the wisps of clouds hanging in the night sky and the twinkling stars.

But with a slight smile, the mountains in the distance dimmed.

"The avenue..."

Chu Ling softly uttered two words.

These two words sound irrelevant to this era. They sound like things written in ancient picture book stories. However, when they were spoken by Chu Ling, who was wearing red and white sacrificial clothes, there was no sense of violation at all.

"The road is ruthless."

After a slight pause, Chu Ling said seriously.

Whether ordinary people or extraordinary people, they are all pursuing their own path.

Those who have mastered the "Divination Technique" have the ability to peer into their destiny. Regardless of the special existence enveloped by the power of fire, every living being has its own golden thread of destiny on its head.

That is the great road.

Everyone has a path.

Everyone pursues the high road.

It's just that...the path of the extraordinary is different from that of the ordinary.

The God's throne that smelts fire is also different from other extraordinary beings.

"Are you thinking about the next time you will see them? Are the old friends still alive?"

Chu Ling said calmly: "You don't need divination to see that my mother-in-law's spirit is very weak. It is a natural death. Life, old age, illness and death are iron laws. Even if you are the 'Pluto', you cannot change all this."

"yes."

Gu Shen did not deny what Chu Ling said.

He looked sadly at the orphanage at the foot of the mountain and said softly: "Mother-in-law... she will not live long."

The moment I met my mother-in-law.

He actually thought about whether he could use the power of the "Pure Land" to do things that defy the iron law of life and death?

If you can't keep Gu Changzhi, can't you keep an ordinary person?

But... once he uses the power of "Pure Land", how should he explain all this to his mother-in-law?

Chu Ling asked softly: "So, what are you going to do?"

She did not interfere with Gu Shen's choice, but looked at him quietly, wanting to hear Gu Shen's thoughts.

"I might...not be able to do anything."

After a long time, Gu Shen spoke.

He said softly: "Here, I am not 'Pluto', I am just Xiao Gu who grew up at the foot of the mountain. My mother-in-law's life has reached its end. She is different from Tie Wu."

Chu Ling listened quietly.

"The road is ruthless, and the road also has feelings." Gu Shen said: "For me... keeping her may be a cruel ending. She does not live for me, and I should not decide whether to die."

After Chu Ling listened, he slowly said: "Actually...if I were you, I would do the same thing. However, the reason why I do these things is based on the calculations of the [source code]. I don't think that using

The power of fire to interfere with secular laws is a good thing. Regardless of your relationship with the 'dead', this may cause hidden damage to the Pure Land."

As of now.

There are strict conditions for retaining the dead in the Pure Land.

To maintain this "Pluto World" that defies the rules, a large amount of extraordinary source matter must be consumed.

The growth of Suxuanmu, the evolution of the four seasons, the rules of this world, everything is based on this foundation... and retaining the spirit of Iron Five is also a kind of consumption.

However, Iron Five also made a return to the Pure Land.

He has grown up with the Pure Land world this year. In addition to spiritual cultivation, he has also indirectly helped the Pure Land world and "produced" extraordinary source matter.

And once the soul of "Disorder" is adopted.

This clean world will become "dirty"... This world is a miraculous existence that makes even the gods sigh. If you want to expand the pure land, you need to make every move correctly.

"Perhaps...after a long time, you can save any 'dead', but not now."

Chu Ling gave a very sensible answer.

The answer Gu Shen gave previously was a very subjective answer.

Fortunately, these two answers overlap and do not require painful entanglements and decisions.

"Heaven and earth are like journeys against each other, and you and I are both travelers."

Chu Ling's expression became serious.

She looked at Gu Shen and asked, "I've always been curious...what does it feel like to die?"

She is now alive.

If we say that the feeling of being alive is joy, luck and excitement...

What about death?

She cannot understand, cannot understand the reluctance of people in the world when facing death, nor can she understand those crazy people who escape, retreat, struggle.

It's just death.

Why be afraid?

She took a step back slightly, stood on the top of the mountain, opened her arms, and just took one more step back, and she would fall to the top of the mountain... Unfortunately, she would not die because of this, the divine fetus has no flesh and blood, some

It's just the extraordinary source of matter, and she won't even feel real pain.

If you don't take any defensive measures.

Under the violent impact of hitting the ground, the extraordinary source of energy will be greatly lost due to this fall... After she falls, she will not suffer any damage, and she does not even need to rest. She only needs to pat the scars on her dress.

Dust, you can stand up gracefully again.

Gu Shen did not stop this action.

Not only because he knew that Chu Ling would not "fall to death", but also because he had a hundred ways to rescue Chu Ling before she fell.

"You can find the answer to any question in books, but unfortunately, you can't find this one."

Chu Ling smiled regretfully.

What does it feel like to die? Only the dead know.

"If you are curious... I can ask Tie Wu for you. Maybe he can give an answer." Gu Shen thought for a while and said, "It should be considered a semi-standard answer."

Chu Ling nodded seriously.

After a while.

Tiewu, who was sitting cross-legged on the pure land, scratched his head and asked awkwardly: "Lord God, are you serious?"

His memory of death remains at the moment of "God's arrival".

"The feeling of death...is probably that with a 'bang', the person is gone, just like setting off fireworks."

Tie Wu looked complicated, paused, and said, "It's just that I'm that firework."

This answer is somewhat ironic.

Gu Shen looked at Chu Ling and asked understandingly.

"Does it hurt?"

"Does it hurt..."

Tiewu recalled it carefully and said with a wry smile: "It hurt a little, but they are already dead. Does it matter whether it hurts or not?"

This is the semi-standard answer provided by a "dead person".

That makes sense.

They are already dead, does it matter whether it hurts or not?

"Actually, it's still very important... because I still don't know what pain feels like."
To be continued...
