The old man forced a smile and spoke weakly. Jiangshan nodded and sat down next to the old man, but his forehead was tightly wrinkled.
Jiangshan felt a strong breath of death from the old man, which even completely enveloped the old man. If Jiangshan was not mistaken, the old man could only live for another hour or so at most.
Even...it is possible to fall at any time.
"Take good care of Xiaoqin."
"I have no regrets in death!"
Mr. Guo grinned, and at this moment, his eyes suddenly bulged, and he actually sat up and stared at the door.
"not good!"
When Jiangshan saw this, his face changed drastically. With a point of his hand, the pure spiritual power in his body instantly enveloped the old man, and the old man's originally pale face also became a little rosy.
Then, Jiangshan quickly helped the old man lie down. The old man narrowed his eyes, but his breath was very weak, barely enough to catch his breath.
The old man’s behavior just now is called “looking at the road” in the folk, which means that when a person reaches the end of his life, he wants to look at the road he will leave.
"Grandpa!"
Guo Qin took a deep breath, her body trembling violently, tears falling from the corners of her eyes.
"Jiangshan, what happened?"
"Yes or no……"
Guo Fei on the side couldn't help but ask, and even at the end, she didn't dare to speak. It was obvious that she also knew that her father was at the end of his life.
"Mom, I'll go out first. Xiaoqin will come too."
Jiangshan didn't say much, but nodded to Guo Qin and Chang'e. The three of them walked out of the house and came to an empty corner.
"Chang'e, what do you think is going on? I feel like something is wrong, but I can't find out what it is. There's no sign of being framed."
"It seems like just normal life, aging, sickness and death, but I always feel like there's something wrong here."
Before Jiang Shan finished speaking, Guo Qin could no longer stand. Her body went limp and she almost collapsed in Jiang Shan's arms, being held tightly by Jiang Shan.
"It is indeed the end of a normal life span, but I can smell the scent of a ghost."
Chang'e said lightly.
Ghost!
When Jiang Shan and Guo Qin heard this, their eyes bulged.
"Let's put it this way. The old man on the bed must have had his vitality forcibly extracted. It must have been forced, so some traces were left behind."
"And the only one who can drain away a person's lifespan is a ghost messenger!"
Chang'e took a deep breath and spoke in a serious tone.
"But... why is this happening? My grandpa didn't provoke the ghost messenger, so why did the ghost messenger take away his life span? What is going on?"
Guo Qin was also dumbfounded.
What does an ordinary person have to do with a ghost?
"Then what should we do? Can we summon the ghost here and ask what's going on?"
Jiang Shan asked with narrowed eyes, it seemed a little tricky as it involved the so-called ghost messenger.
"Do you think that the immortals and Buddhas of China can control the entire world?"
But the next moment, Chang'e's words made Jiangshan suddenly embarrassed.
"That's normal. The birdmen of the West, or what they call the Heavenly Master, the immortals of the East, and the Buddhas of India all manage their own territories."
"Just like our underworld, King Yama only controls the life and death of the creatures in China. The ghost soldiers here are obviously not from the same system as us."
Chang'e said lightly, and Jiangshan nodded involuntarily when he heard this.
"However, the Nanyang region was once governed by the Chinese immortals and Buddhas. However, now that the various sects on Earth have left, the meaning of the territory has become very vague."
"Although we are not from the same system as them, we are a group of ghost officials. With our status, we should be able to suppress them without any problems."
Chang'e's next words finally made Jiangshan hear good news.
"Xiao Qin, I have a cold ice pill here. Let the old man take it. This pill can temporarily stabilize the vitality in his body."
"It's just a way to hold on to your breath. We can deal with other things later."
As Chang'e spoke, she took out a blue pill and handed it to Guo Qin. Guo Qin quickly picked it up and ran into the house.
"hey-hey."
"My dear, you have a really good eye. You can even tell that the old man's life span was taken away by the ghost."
Jiangshan grabbed Chang'e's slender waist and said with a chuckle.
"That's natural."
"I am the Moon Palace Fairy, living in Guanghan Palace, adjacent to the Milky Way. I am the absolute nemesis of these evil spirits. Even Xiaojiu can't resist them."
Chang'e also grinned.
"However, Guo Qin's grandfather on the bed is too young, about a hundred years old. I actually have to call him old man. Tsk tsk, I'm not used to it."
Immediately, Chang'e shook her head and muttered.
When Jiangshan heard this, he immediately laughed. If we talk about age, Guo Qin's grandfather wouldn't know what to call Chang'e.
"Okay, this is normal."
Jiangshan patted Chang'e's shoulder and took a deep breath.
"Looks like I have to ask my father-in-law. I feel like it's not simple when it involves a ghost messenger..."
Jiangshan said lightly.
At this time, Guo Wentian, who was far away, was also walking towards here quickly. Seeing Jiangshan embracing Chang'e, there was no strangeness in Guo Wentian's eyes.
He had known long before that Jiangshan had many women, so he was not surprised now.
"How about it?"
Guo Wentian came to Jiangshan and asked hurriedly.
"I found out."
"It was the ghost who drained the old man's life force!"
Jiangshan nodded and said.
…
When Guo Wentian heard this, he was stunned for a moment. He stared at Jiangshan blankly, his face full of disbelief.
"Are you kidding me?"
"Ghost?"
"How is this possible? How could the old man offend the ghost? And how could the ghost be so bold as to take away the old man's lifespan?"
Guo Wentian seemed a little excited. This was not a reason at all. It was just like listening to a myth.
"I'm telling the truth!"
"Dad, you have to think carefully about who you have offended. Otherwise, ordinary people would not be able to mobilize the ghost messenger, let alone let the ghost messenger take away people's lifespan."
Jiangshan said very seriously.
There is a saying that money can make the world go round, but it only makes the world go round.
Taking away a person's lifespan is a big taboo, especially for ghosts, immortals and the like. These things are detrimental to one's virtue, and generally no one would do that.
"How the hell should I know?!"
"I don't know how many people I've offended, how can I investigate?"
Guo Wentian slapped his forehead in frustration and said.
…
Jiangshan's mouth twitched. There was really no way to refute this reason.
