"No mortal will come but you." Rong Shu was blunt.

"Then why do they have to stay here and wait for the flesh?" Shu Kui said that he didn't understand the world of lonely souls and wild ghosts.

"In the past, the people of Shengze would come to help them fulfill their wishes." Rong Shu lived in Yuanhuimen, and knew a little about the affairs of Shengze's country, "Later, there was a family that fled to the world and had children with mortals, but for some reason, they just refused to come back, and King Shengze had no choice, so he simply handed over the errand of the super-dead soul to them, so the lonely soul and wild ghost should be waiting for these people." ”

"And such a family?" Shu Kui has never heard of it.

Rong Shu felt that there was nothing to be surprised at: "Of course there is, there is dirt and dirt in the world, there is everything." ”

"How often do people from this family come? What's their last name? Shu Kui thought, maybe, when she was in the world, she and these people had passed by.

"The surname is Nangong. Originally, it seemed that they would come every year, but later, the number of visits became less and less, and in the last one or two hundred years, it seems that no one has come at all. "Occasionally, when receiving business, Rong Shu will hear something about the Sunken Forest.

"Why don't you come?" Shu Kui has a feeling of being alone in a foreign land, about to meet his fellow countrymen, and unfortunately missed it.

"I don't know." Rong Shu shrugged and pointed ahead, "It's here." ”

The two of them went out of the Sinking Forest and came to the ghost gate, and gave a lot of benefits as usual before they entered the door.

Huangquan Road is a straight one, there is no fork in the road, it is also very smooth, the roadside is full of flowers on the other side, a large piece of blood red, extending to the endless distance.

On the way, the ghosts held iron chains, and brought more than a dozen people locked in a row, and from time to time there were empty hands, ready to pick up the ghosts again.

"Seems to be really busy." Shu Kui saw that the speed of passing by was very fast.

"yes." Rong Shu nodded, "So I heard that the Difu has been begging for manpower, but not many are willing to come to work." ”

"Keep walking in, can you see Hades?" Shu Kui was going deep into the underworld for the first time, and he couldn't help but be curious.

Rong Shu quickened his pace: "If you want to go to Meng Po, you must pass through the Hades Palace, which you can see." ”

Not long after the words fell, the first temple arrived.

It is said to be a palace, but in fact, it is an ordinary house, with only one floor, and there is no luxurious decoration inside and outside.

Entering the gate is a hall, there are a lot of people, and there is a lot of noise. At a desk in the middle of the hall, a man in his forties, dressed in a black suit and tie loosely hanging around his neck, was holding a pen and paper on roll call.

"This is King Qin Guang." Rong Shu said.

Shu Kui looked at this man, and couldn't laugh a little: "This is King Qin Guang?" King Qin Guang wears a suit and a tie? ”

Rong Shu was not surprised: "The uniform, ten people wear it like this." ”

At this time, as soon as King Qin Guang looked up and saw Rong Shu, he was actually quite happy: "Why are you here?" ”

Rong Shu said hello: "It's a matter of looking for Meng Po." ”

"Go ahead." Qin Guang Dynasty pointed behind him, "I'm very busy, so I won't greet you." When you are free someday, you come, let's play a few laps. ”

Rong Shu said "yes", bypassed the desk, and walked out the back door of the house.

"You usually come here to play mahjong with King Qin Guang?" Just after the first hall, Shu Kui was shocked.

"Well, lose some money to him, and if there's anything, talk a little better." Rong Shu said lightly.

Shu Kui opened his mouth and stammered, and he didn't think of what to say for a long time.

In this way, the two walked through the second, third, and fourth halls, and sure enough, as Rong Shu said, King Chujiang, Emperor Song and King Wuguan were all wearing the same black suits and ties, and they were all very busy.

When they reached the fifth temple, the king of Yama ignored them.

After Rong Shu walked out of the back door, he lowered his voice and said, "He is the most difficult to talk to. ”

"Legend has it that King Yama is Bao Qingtian, of course he won't pay attention to your blatant bribery." Shu Kui glanced back.

"Who is Bao Qingtian?" Rong Shu had never heard of this person.

"A clean official." Shu Kui actually doesn't know much.

Rong Shu pursed his lips, didn't ask any more questions, and continued on his way.

Since then, the halls have been in a similar situation, and several Hades have been quite familiar with Rong Shu when they see it, and they have invited them to "play a few laps".

Shu Kui shook his head again and again every time he came out of the hall, and sighed that the sentence "Money can make ghosts grind" is really too right.

When we got to the last hall, the hall was a little empty, and sitting behind the desk was a boy about Rong Shu's age, wearing a pair of gold-rimmed glasses, his face was pale, and he couldn't stop coughing.

"Hasn't Meng Po been able to cure your illness yet?" As soon as Rong Shu entered, he walked directly to the desk.

The boy raised his eyes and looked at him beyond the frame, but without saying a word, he looked back at the paper in his hand.

"Is Meng Po free these two days?" Rong Shu asked again.

"She's right behind, go ask yourself." The boy spoke, in a nice voice, but with a very cold attitude.

Rong Shu didn't care, and smiled at him: "I have something to do today, I'll see you another day." ”

After speaking, he pulled Shu Kui out of the tenth hall.

Before, every time he came out of a hall, Shu Kui's eyes were suddenly bright, only here, when he stepped out of the door, he saw a long corridor, and the team under the corridor started from the back door, winding upward, and he couldn't see the end at all.

"What is this place?" Shu Kui was afraid of the long queue, "Shall we follow behind?" ”

"No, you don't." Rong Shu entered the cloister and walked past the team.

Shu Kui followed: "Are we going to some mountain?" ”

"Gaotai, Forget the Tai." Rong Shu replied, "Meng Po lives on it." ”

The corridor was very narrow, and the two of them could only stand on their sides, and their speed could not be fast, and they walked for more than half an hour before they stepped on the flat ground.

It was a very lively place, with ghosts coming and going, shouting viciously, and ghosts crying and grabbing the ground, struggling unwillingly.

Rong Shu walked to the place with the most people, and the ghosts all knew him more or less, and they kept greeting him all the way.

When he arrived at his destination, Shu Kui was surprised to see that the person boiling medicine in front of a huge pot was a young woman in her thirties.

She was dressed in black, with her cuffs rolled up high, and an apron tied around her body, and she kept scooping out the medicine.

The ghosts in line took the bowl, some drank it all, some took small sips, and some didn't want to drink, and were forced by several ghosts to pour it in.

"Hi, Mrs. Meng." Rong Shu said hello.

Meng Po raised her head when she heard the sound and smiled: "Yo, big tree, are you here to play mahjong with the kings of Hades?" ”

"No, I've come to see you." Rong Shu leaned over and looked into the cauldron, "Can you spare some time?" ”

"You've spoken, of course." Meng Po smiled very charmingly, "Wait a while, we'll take a lunch break soon." ”

Rong Shu responded: "Then let's turn around a little." ”

Meng Po looked at Shu Kui, smiled, and acquiesced, and then went to her own business.

"When I die, I'll come here too." Shu Kui looked at the long line at his feet.

"Before you are reincarnated, you have to come here." As Rong Shu spoke, he pulled Shu Kui to the edge of the high platform, "Those who have drunk Meng Po soup have to jump down from here." ”

Shu Kui poked his head out - there was a fog below, I don't know how high.

"What happens when you jump?" She saw palpitations, and if it was her turn, she really didn't dare to jump.

"Birth." Rong Shu replied briefly, leading her to look to her side.

Not far from there, there was a ghost standing, also looking at the audience, with a frightened face, and refused to jump at all.

The ghost next to him waited impatiently, and while he wasn't paying attention, he raised his leg and hit his buttocks.

The ghost vanished into the mist, screaming from near and far until it was no longer heard.

"Almost every single one of them didn't dare to jump, they had to be kicked." Rong Shu has become accustomed to this scene, "So when the child was born, he cried very loudly, and the green mark on his buttocks came from this." ”

I really didn't expect that the newborn who fell to the ground would have such a story.

Shu Kui walked around on the stage, and he had a full view of the world.

There is a husband and wife, yin and yang have been separated for decades, and they finally meet, but they have to go to reincarnation, they hold hands and look at each other, tears in their eyes.

There was a rich man who held a big ingot and sent it to Meng Po's nose, saying that he would vote for another rich family.

There was an official who was arrogant, and he thought that the bowl containing Meng Po soup was too rough, and the attitude of the ghost was not respectful enough.

The poor are full of anticipation for the next life and have a good mind, while those who have done evil in their previous lives and suffered a lot in hell have sad faces, knowing that there will never be a good life in this life.

Seeing all this, Shu Kui was unconscious, and he didn't even notice that Meng Po had arrived in front of him.

"Girl, the soul is back." Meng Po stretched out her hand and shook it in front of Shu Kui's eyes.

Shu Kui was startled and came back to his senses.

Meng Po held her chin and looked her up and down: "You look at Mianshan, have we met somewhere?" ”

"Impossible." Shu Kui shook his head.

Meng Po thought about it, and was right: "A mortal is indeed impossible. ”

"You usually look at a lot of faces, and you will inevitably come across a few similar ones." Rong Shu gave the most reasonable explanation.

Meng Po nodded approvingly: "Say, what did you come to me for?" ”

"Take a good look at her." Rong Shu didn't answer.

Meng Po had a bit of a coquettish taste, glanced at Rongshu with a white look, looked at Shu Kui carefully again, and said "oh" for a while.

"How?" Rong Shu thought she had thought of something.

"The merman's confusing technique, I can't help it." Meng Po spread her hands.

Rong Shu didn't believe it, and he didn't squeak, looking at Meng Po with a look of "you didn't tell the truth".

Under the forced gaze, Meng Po's heart became weak, pulled Rong Shu aside, and whispered something.

When Shu Kui saw the two of them talking, he kept looking at him, and he couldn't help but have an ominous premonition in his heart.

"That's it, you decide." Soon, Meng Po finished saying everything that had to be said.

Rong Shu thought about it for a while and said, "Okay, let's try it." ”

"No way!" Shu Kui didn't agree, "What to try?" I'm the person in question, and I haven't agreed yet. ”
