Chapter 4: Meng Po of the Underworld
In the south of the heavenly realm, in the peach blossom forest of the third palace of the Vermilion Bird, the moon tower of the heavenly palace.
"Alas, since I heard the truth go on that day, Yuehua has been locking herself in her room and refusing to come out."
Under the peach blossom tree, two old men of the same age sat and played chess against each other, and what entered the throat was the intoxicating aroma of the aged wine, and the eyes were a few handfuls of peach petals falling everywhere in the peach forest from time to time.
"Young people are always like this, I don't think this little girl is like a person who can't let go, she must have her own plans this time, why bother with this heart." Taishang Laojun on the side dropped another son on the chessboard, chatting with Yue and Xian Weng with a match.
"I'm worried about her, don't look at her now, it seems that she is following the path I set for her, and everything is according to the rules, but I'm afraid of her, one day I really meet the person I like, and she is only dedicated to one person." Yue and Xian Weng also landed on the chessboard, with a faint worry on their faces.
"Master, just now the Queen Mother sent a message to let you and the fairy Weng go to the Imperial Garden together, and tell you something." While he was talking, Lao Jun's apprentice came to report.
"Okay, you go and report to the mother first, and we'll be there later." Lao Jun let the apprentice go first, and then said to the moon and the immortal, "If this is the case, then the road in the future, you will have to protect her more, she is a lonely marriage, but she is infatuated, a little careless, I am afraid that it will not end well." ”
Yuehua locked herself in the room these days, not because she couldn't think about it at all, but because she was really tired in the past few days in the world, and she was trying to find some excuse to rest for a few days, so she heard Yue Lao talk about marriage, so she also slept in the house for a few days under the guise of this.
When she woke up and opened the door to look for Yue Lao, she found that Yue Lao was not in the Yue Tower, so she casually stopped a fairy child and asked, "Yue Lao is out?" ”
The fairy child who passed by was the fairy child who served Yue Lao and Lao Jun not long ago, so he replied, "Fang Cai Xian Weng and Taishang Laojun were playing chess in the peach orchard, and someone came to report that it was the Queen Mother who said that they had something to do, so they went together, about half an hour." ”
Yuehua nodded, and let him go, she was also idle, so she decided to take advantage of Yuelao's absence to go around the Heavenly Palace.
Yuehua is still dressed in red clothes and red dresses, and people can recognize her identity wherever she goes, and they all know that Yuehua Shangxian treats people gently on weekdays, and always smiles, so they all greet her, and unconsciously, Yuehua looked up and found that she had walked to Laojun's house.
Just as she was about to go around elsewhere, she suddenly heard someone behind her call her, "Yuehua Shangxian, please stay!" ”
Yuehua turned around and saw a young man in white running across the street, and saw that he was dressed very much like someone from Laojun's mansion, so he asked, "Something?" ”
The young man ran up to Yuehua and calmed his breath before he spoke, "Yes." Yuehua Shangxian, I am the boy on the Laojun's house, a few days ago, Meng Po in the underworld dragged my Zhenjun to send her some things, the appointed day is today, but Zhenjun went to the Queen Mother's place, I can't get out of it for a while, my Taoism is low, I can't enter the underworld, can I bother the immortals, send this to Meng Po? ”
Yuehua followed his line of sight, only to find that he was still holding a sandalwood box in his arms, and after a little thought, she thought that she was idle anyway, so it was better to do a favor, and Lao Jun was not bad to her on weekdays.
"Okay, give me something, I'll deliver it." Yuehua spread her palm towards the young man.
The young man had a surprised expression on his face, and hurriedly handed the thing to her hand and thanked her repeatedly, "Thank you Yuehua Immortal!" ”
Yuehua drove the clouds to the underworld, she actually had some selfishness this time, Yuelao had a good relationship with the gods everywhere, but he never took her into the underworld, and even rarely mentioned it, Yuehua was curious, but he didn't dare to ask him, so he took this opportunity to go around the underworld.
Legend has it that the entrance to the underworld is in the ghost city of Xudu, after midnight, the ghost gate will be opened, the road after the ghost gate is Huangquan Road, Yuehua takes away the breath of the body, walks in from the open gate, and a few steps forward, you see the Lethe River, and the Nai He Bridge on the river.
Yuehua felt a little nervous, she seemed to hear a sigh from the ethereal nobody around the bridge, inaudible, but close to her ears. Not wanting to think about it, Yuehua got down from the Nai He Bridge and looked around, if there was no accident, she should have met Meng Po here.
She saw a wooden house not far away, and an old woman sat in front of it, and thought to herself, this is it.
Yuehua stepped forward and greeted Meng Po respectfully, "Meng Po, this is something that Taishang Laojun entrusted me to send, please accept it." ”
Meng Po was dressed in black, although she stayed underground all the year round, her clothes were not a little messy, and the whole person looked very energetic, she took the things in Yuehua's hand and opened it and put it aside, so she looked at Yuehua, "So, girl, are you?" ”
Yuehua raised her head, looked at Meng Po, and smiled, "I am a person from the Yuehe Immortal Palace, named Yuehua." ”
When Meng Po heard her name come out of her mouth, she suddenly stood up from the wooden rocking chair, and in a few steps she came to Yuehua, reached out and grabbed her arm, so strong that it hurt her, Yuehua heard Meng Po's eager voice, and there was a trace of anger and even crying.
"You say you're from the Moon and Immortal Palace? So who are you?! ”
Although Yuehua felt that Meng Po's reaction was a little strange, and wondered why she was so excited, she still answered honestly, "It was Yue Lao who picked me up and took it with him to raise, and when I ascended to the immortal a hundred years ago, he passed on the matter of my marriage." ”
Meng Po listened to her in a daze, her eyes seemed to be bright, and she seemed to be full of pain and hatred, and she took a few steps back with a sloppy gaze, and sat down on the rocking chair again.
Meng Po closed her eyes, tens of thousands of years have passed since the day the two of them were separated, she didn't know that he was still alive at first, but then she accidentally knew, but the hatred in her heart could not be eliminated, but at the same time, the friendship in her heart also grew together, and now she met the child he cultivated at such a time, is this the will of heaven.
Meng Po secretly decided in her heart that the hatred that the two of them had been stalemate for thousands of years should have a result, Meng Po could see at a glance that this child had the same marriage fate as the fox demon who crossed the bridge before, just because the fox demon was too similar to the breath on her body, so
Meng Po exhausted the hatred in her eyes, made up her mind to lure her into the bait, and asked Yuehua as if unintentionally, "Child, is your marriage fate a lonely marriage?" Seeing Yuehua's eyes widen in surprise, she added, "Although I can't see the marriage, I have attracted people like you, and the aura on your body is too similar." The old man made this guess. ”
Yuehua smiled bitterly, "That's right, I didn't expect that even though I had an almost eternal life, I would still be alone." ”
Meng Po got up, walked in front of her, looked at her and said solemnly, "The old body has a way to solve the lonely karma in your body." ”
Yuehua was stunned, and then reacted, a pair of beautiful peach blossom eyes were shining, "Please also ask your mother-in-law to make it clear!" ”
"The old body can't tell you too much, otherwise it will be a leak of heaven, so I will only tell you that you can go to someone."
"Who's that man?"
"That man has black eyes and black hair, he is extremely handsome, and on the queen mother's birthday the day after tomorrow, he will appear at the birthday banquet, and he is your only hope to unravel the lonely marriage."
Meng Po paused, the corners of her mouth pulled up a somewhat playful arc, and her eyes flashed with calculation.
"The man's name is Shulou."
