5. The ancient talent market
The pain didn't fade until dawn. Meng Heng wiped his forehead, which was soaked in several layers of sweat, and lay on the bed weakly, staring at the bed tent above his head with somewhat hollow eyes.
This was not the first time he had experienced this pain. In the month and a half since he crossed over here, he has felt this cold and pain to the bone.
This is the catastrophe that the original owner has suffered, and he can only endure it.
It's just that the last few times, this strange pain has come strangely. Seems to be related to the use of hypnosis on its own. Every time I was doing the operation, I felt an unusual aura in my body tumbling and surging, and when the operation was over, I returned to calm.
I don't know what it means.
However, it is not helpful to think too much. Since he has taken over the shell of the original owner and endured the catastrophe of the original owner, then he has been wronged and has a debt, and whoever inflicts the pain, he will pay it back a thousand times, even if he dies because of this catastrophe in the end, it is not in vain for him to go through this experience.
Meng Heng closed his eyes, cleared up the memories and thoughts about the original owner in his mind, sneered, and opened his eyes again.
The focus in his eyes gradually returned, and his gaze became clear and firm.
He got up, changed his clothes, washed himself, changed his face, plucked a few leaves from the stone iris that had been cultivated so much, ground them into powder, wrapped them in his bosom, and went out of the room.
But the moment he walked out of the room, he sensed a familiar strange aura.
This is...... There are goblins at work in the royal family?
Meng Heng narrowed his eyes. Since he stayed at Wang's house, he was harassed by goblins from time to time at the beginning, but since he used a little hypnotism to drive away a few little demons, he has never seen a little demon who dares to come to the door without his strength.
He looked for breath and walked to a certain place in the court, but suddenly heard a few strange noises, and couldn't help but stop. After careful identification, it was issued from the residence of Wang Shipu, the cousin of Wang Shixiao in the East Wing.
And that demonic aura is also getting stronger here.
Meng Heng frowned, he didn't want to take care of Wang Shipu's affairs, but if he was really eaten or killed by the goblins, it would be a catastrophe for Wang Shixiao and his wife.
He didn't hesitate any longer, took a few steps over, and was about to kick the door open.
However, at this moment, the door "creaked", and the door of the east wing was pushed open from the inside, and two twisted figures came out.
Wang Shipu was actually pulled together with the goblin who looked like a woman, his clothes were disheveled, his demeanor was frivolous, and he seemed to be still talking dirty love words.
Meng Heng raised his eyebrows. As far as he knows, Wang Shipu is not married, and he has no livelihood in one place, and he can only survive by relying on the help of his cousin Wang Shixiao.
Right now, for some reason, I'm mixed up with a banshee.
However, Meng Heng can't control Wang Shipu's life style, his actions are just for Wang Shipu's life.
But over there, Wang Shipu didn't appreciate it, and was saying goodbye to the beautiful girl in his arms, and as soon as he pushed the door open, he saw an uninvited guest standing outside the door, and then took a look, it turned out to be the rough poor boy who had been looking down on someone else's house, and scolded with shame and anger: "I said how to squirm outside the door, it turned out to be you shameless boy who eavesdropped on the corner!" He--how dare to eavesdrop on Lao Tzu's corner, and see that Lao Tzu doesn't kill you! โ
Meng Heng raised his eyebrows.
Since he had lived to this age, he had never seen anyone who dared to speak so disrespectfully to him.
"Are you bold?" He hooked his lips and chuckled, and then said lightly: "Originally, I wanted to look at Brother Nai's face and remind you that this woman is either a monster or a monster and cannot be provoked, but now it seems that there is no need for that." โ
After finishing speaking, he smiled, and instantly filled Wang Shipu's eyes with a layer of gloom, and said in a low voice: "Sleep!" โ
Wang Shipu only felt a sense of earth-shaking dizziness sweeping over, and then fell to the ground with a "plop" and fell asleep.
The young man squatted down for a long time, patted Wang Shipu's face, and said, "Remember, this is the first time, if there is a second time, it is not as simple as letting you sleep." โ
"As for you, it's best for me to disappear from the Wang family cleanly." His voice froze, and he stood up and scolded the banshee.
At this time, the goblin simply threw away her pretence, only to see that she actually tore off the flower-like human skin on her face alive, revealing a terrifying bloody mouth, and pounced on Meng Heng with her teeth and claws!
Meng Heng couldn't help but feel a pang in his heart.
It was the first time he had seen a demon disguised directly in human skin, but as long as this demon had eyes and ears, he would not be afraid.
He held his breath and was about to cast a spell, but suddenly he felt the extremely cold qi in his body tumble up, and his hands and feet were agitated by the pain, and he stiffened and couldn't move, watching the monster pounce in front of him.
Meng Heng clenched his teeth, and his forehead was soaked in a layer of cold sweat.
This time, the extreme cold and pain were more intense than before, dense and overwhelming, spreading from the heart and rapidly spreading to the limbs.
However, as long as he still has a trace of sanity, he will never be hindered by any physical pain.
It is even said that the pain on the ** is more like a sharp sword for him, cutting off a qiฤ hesitation and scruples, making his mind stronger and firmer.
Meng Heng turned his eyes to the monster, didn't say a word, and only looked at it fixedly. The monstrous clouds churning in his eyes were like the entrance to hell, filled with a ghostly aura.
The ultimate in hypnosis, not even half a word, just a glance when the eyes look at each other is enough.
The monster's tense momentum suddenly collapsed, and in a moment, it turned into a few wisps of green smoke and slowly disappeared.
It's just that at the same time as it disappeared, the human skin also disappeared with it.
Meng Heng did not relax, he stood in place with a solemn face.
He only felt that at the same time as the goblin disappeared, the sharp pain rolling in his body also faded like a tide, without a trace, but another warm breath gradually diffused, not violent, but like a stream of bits and pieces of water, making his body feel an unprecedented sense of lightness.
Meng Heng raised his eyebrows playfully, it seems that the situation of the original owner's shell is not as simple as he imagined, and the matter of the original owner's memory of Chen Sesame Rotten Grain is also worth exploring.
He straightened out the somewhat wrinkled placket slightly, raised his feet and stepped over Wang Shipu who was lying on the ground, and went out.

Wang Shipu was woken up by Wang Shixiao and his wife.
At that time, it was almost noon, the scorching sun of midsummer made the ground hot, Wang Shipu heard the call, sat up in a daze, only to feel dizzy, as if being beaten by someone, and had a splitting headache.
He covered his head and howled a few times, holding Wang Shixiao's arm and standing up, but it was a whirlwind, swaying and shouting "disgusting", and was surprised by Wang Shixiao and his wife to shush and warm up for a long time, before he reluctantly replied with "nothing".
It wasn't until I sat alone in my room after lunch that I vaguely remembered what had happened before.
Yesterday he came back from the gambling house, on the way he met a beautiful woman, named Yun Niang, who claimed to be a concubine who escaped from a large family, because he could not bear the โกโก of his wife, so he secretly ran to the street, and now there is nowhere to go.
He thought left and right, this woman was born beautiful and moving, and she was displaced, if she brought her back, if Wang Shixiao and his wife bumped into each other and asked, he could be regarded as doing a good deed, to tell the truth, he was not afraid that the two of them would be troubled.
Unexpectedly, this woman was also a merry person, and after a few words and a few teases, she achieved a good deed, and lingered all night until dawn.
Can...... What happened after that?
The pain in his brain was cracking, Wang Shipu rolled on the ground a few times with his head in his hands, and a hateful face suddenly appeared in his mind.
Meng Heng!
He remembered! It was Meng Heng, a shameless boy, who disturbed his and Yun Niang's good deeds, drove Yun Niang away, and humiliated himself, and then he didn't know what means he used to sneak attack him, causing him to have a headache now!
Wang Shipu's face became distorted.
What a nasty-embryonic! Eating and drinking for nothing is not going to their house, and they don't know what slander they have made to Wang Shixiao and his wife on weekdays, so that the woman of the Chen family drove herself out twice in three days, saying that it was for his own good to let him find a decent business, but in his opinion, he just didn't want to see him, and wanted to get him out of the Wang family.
Now that-suck-embryo and ruined his own good deeds!
Good, good.
Since that nasty-embryo doesn't want him to have a good time, then he wants to let that kid see if this Wang family is what he Wang Shipu said, or whether it's an outsider who is his mother!
Wang Shipu stood up and kicked hard at the bedpost.

After Meng Heng left the Wang family, he traveled all the way, first sent the stone iris to Master Zhao's mansion, and by the way, he received two silver tickets from Master Zhao as a thank you gift, and then went straight into the city and came to a prosperous territory.
At this time, the street is full of traffic, and the roads are lined with rows of shops and houses.
And among the various pavilions and cloud buildings, there is a particularly eye-catching - Yichun Building.
It is one of the most famous restaurants in Kyoto, and its fame lies not in the beauty of the building, the deliciousness of the dishes, or the beautiful singing, but in a special place.
Intelligence - that is, the exchange of information, and it is an open and honest exchange of information.
Anyone who comes here either wants to get some kind of news, or they want to spread some kind of news, as long as they can afford the money and buy a seat, Yichun Lou can do it.
Meng Heng belongs to the latter category. He wants to spread his existence slowly, whether as a hypnotist or as the original owner.
At this time, he thanked the shopkeeper who came forward to greet him, and sat down in the seat where he usually sits, and then ordered two exquisite side dishes, a pot of tea, and listened to a few babbling tunes wafting from the center of the stands, while drinking slowly.
The nearby tables of drinkers who did not come often subconsciously looked up, and saw that it was a plainly dressed and ordinary-looking teenager, so they looked away with interest, and gossiped with the people who shared the table gossiping about the strange anecdotes that happened in this huge capital.
Meng Heng pursed his lips and smiled slightly.
He wasn't in a hurry, because he knew that as long as he sat here, someone would come to him.
Sure enough, the boy had only been sitting here for less than half an hour, and someone noticed this, and the few people exchanged a few words in a low voice, and then walked over to the boy with a solemn face.
