Chapter 27: Meng Po
"Oops, little things, little things, don't take it to heart." Ji Xiao waved his hand, looking indifferent. He has always been easy-going, and he is very careless, since the other party has already thanked him and the poison has been resolved, then he himself is relieved, and he is not so concerned about this kind of thing.
On the other hand, it was Si Yuanchen next to him, his eyes locked on Du Zicheng holding Ji Xiao's two hands, and for some reason, his eyes were even colder than before.
Xu is aware of Si Yuanchen's unkind eyes and the sharply declining air pressure around him, Du Zicheng hurriedly let go of the hand holding Ji Xiao.
Si Yuanchen stretched out his hand and pulled Ji Xiao back to him, his eyes continued to stare at Du Zicheng unkindly, and he didn't know where the hostility suddenly came from. Du Zicheng withstood the pressure, and slowly looked up at Si Yuanchen, wanting to invite this big Buddha away, anyway, the Demon Ling Grass had been returned, and the antidote to Ji Xiaowu's heart pill had already been taken to him, and it was time for these three people to leave, Du Zicheng thought to himself.
Unfortunately, when he looked up, he saw Ji Xiao's face turned blue, looked at Si Yuanchen, and then looked at Yuan Li standing on the other side, Du Zicheng opened his mouth and asked, "Brother Ji, why is your face so ugly, but what is there any discomfort in your body?" ”
"Just now I fell into the Demon Transformation, who would have thought that there was a monster at the bottom of the Demon, what is it called, oh, Xiu Xiu Beast" Ji Xiao said, during which his eyes quietly glanced at Si Yuanchen, "Then I thought that I had been poisoned by the Fog Heart Pill on my body, and when I saw the venom of the Xiu Xiu Beast heading towards Yuan Li, I blocked it for him, and then I was honorably injured now, hehehe." After finishing speaking, Ji Xiao smirked a few times, trying to divert Si Yuanchen's cold gaze.
Yuan Li was standing on the side, and he also felt a lot of pressure, he felt that although Si Yuanchen at this time had no Neidan, the aura exuded from his body still made people tremble.
Du Zicheng listened to Ji Xiao's face turn blue because he was hit by the venom of the Xiuxiu Beast, so he spoke again: "Brother Ji, Shangxian, the venom of the Xiuxiu Beast, this poison can only be solved by Meng Po in Xiangtai." The three of you can go to Wangxiangtai to find Meng Po to make a decoction for Brother Ji. ”
As soon as Si Yuanchen heard this, after briefly thanking Du Zicheng, he was ready to go to Wangxiangtai to find Meng Po immediately.
The three of them said goodbye to Du Zicheng and went to Wangxiangtai.
The sword of your heart* leads the way
The three of them followed Ji Xiao's sword to Wangxiangtai, where Meng Po lived. Ji Xiao looked at the mansion in front of him, although it was the place where Meng Po lived, but this mansion did not have a trace of gloomy atmosphere.
The three of them were about to go inside to look for Meng Po, but they were stopped by a woman with a pale face and bloodless lips, "Who are you waiting for?" What happened to trespassing on my mother-in-law's mansion? ”
"Beauty, my name is Ji Xiao, this is Si Yuanchen, girl, let me tell you, this handsome guy in front of you is a well-known figure!" Ji Xiao stretched out his finger and poked Si Yuanchen's shoulder, "What about this, the force value is also very strong," he pointed at Yuan Li and said to the woman in front of him who was suspected to be Meng Po's maid, "We came to find Meng Po, we have something to ask for, and we are also bothered by this beauty, help us inform Meng Po." Ji Xiao has always had a flexible head and a flamboyant tongue, and after getting along with the two people around him for these days, he knew that these two people generally didn't speak, so he crackled a lot.
"Mother-in-law, how can you see it when you say you can see it?" The woman was not affected by Ji Xiao's words, and still stopped the three of them at the door of the mansion.
"Girl, in the lower boss Yuanchen. I want to ask Meng Po to make an antidote decoction for us, girl, can you let us in? Seeing that Ji Xiao's mouth was ineffective, Si Yuanchen could only step forward by himself.
"Those three, please come here." The woman saw that Si Yuanchen looked so handsome, and there was an extraordinary aura between her eyebrows. turned to one side, and gave way to the way, letting Ji Xiao and the others enter.
Si Yuanchen walked in front, and Ji Xiao followed him like a little follower, still chattering in his mouth, this world of looking at faces, wherever he goes, he looks at his face. I'm not bad, I'm just a little worse than him. Yuan Li silently followed Ji Xiao's side, ignoring the broken thoughts in his mouth. On the contrary, it was Si Yuanchen, listening to his broken thoughts, and laughed silently in his heart. When the three of them entered the door, they saw a hunchbacked old lady with white hair in a place next to the hall that appeared to be a "big soup pot". The old woman stood with her back to them, and did not react to their arrival until they said a word.
"Meng Po." Si Yuanchen bowed slightly, in order to show his respect for Meng Po, "Under Si Yuanchen, I heard that Meng Po can make an antidote to the poison of the Xiu Xiu beast, so I came to ask for medicine. His tone was flat, and he seemed to be completely calm, but if King Qin Guang, who had known him for thousands of years, heard the voice of his best friend, he would definitely find that there was actually a slight tremor under his pretended calm voice. No matter how calm and self-controlled a person is, it is difficult to maintain that calm when the person he cares about is uncomfortable.
As soon as Si Yuanchen spoke, he saw that Meng Po's figure with his back to them trembled slightly, and quickly stabilized. The old lady turned around, and who knew that on her face, in addition to the wrinkles on her face, there was also a scar on the left side of her face that reached her neck, which turned the old woman who was still a beautiful embryo in the past even if she was old and became hideous and terrifying.
"The old body can make an antidote decoction - the perfect soup is true, you ask me for this decoction, but how can this decoction casually let you go, everything in this world, everything pays attention to a reciprocal one, if there is no one thing for another, to pass it on, everyone thinks that my Meng Po is very good to obtain, how can I Meng Po gain a foothold here in the future?" Meng Po spoke, although her face was no longer young, but her voice was still soft.
"Then dare to ask Meng Po, what is the quid pro quo?" Si Yuanchen Road.
"The price is very simple, and I believe it is not difficult for you. Just let the man next to you drink a bowl of soup from my pot, and I will make this antidote for you. Meng Po pointed to the cauldron beside her, and what was steaming in it was the dust-forgetting soup that could make people forget the past and the present.
Si Yuanchen's face turned pale. Ji Xiao next to him saw his face change, and no matter how smart he was, he knew what the soup in this pot was. But it is extremely difficult for him to forget the past and this life, not to mention that he has not yet returned to his body to take revenge on the pair of dog men and women, just these days with Si Yuanchen, the change in his mood, and he is absolutely unwilling to forget him.
That Meng Po also saw a lot of souls of all kinds, and saw the reluctance of these two people, and took a deep look at Si Yuanchen, there was a complexity in his eyes that others could not see, and spoke again: "If this son is unwilling to drink the old body's forgetful soup, it is okay to cross the Nai He Bridge to reincarnate again." As long as this Si Yuanchen Si Gongzi is willing to marry my delicate slave girl E Rong, this perfect soup can also be boiled for the son as a congratulatory gift. ”
"You ......" Ji Xiao has always been impulsive, and when he heard this condition, it was more like he couldn't resist the power of the desolation in his body, and rushed to the front to reason with this Meng Po, and was hurriedly pulled by the Yuan Force on his side. Yuan Li shook his head at him, at this time, Meng Po, they can't be offended. Ji Xiao calmed down and spoke up: "I don't want this antidote!" "Then turn around and leave." Hey, Ji Xiao! The Yuan Li beside him couldn't stop him, so he had to call him out loud. Who knew that Ji Xiao was still striding out. This Meng Po is also very stubborn, guarding her own conditions and refusing to change. Si Yuanchen saw that Ji Xiao was about to step out of that threshold, and turned around to chase Ji Xiao away. "Childe stays, you should be a smart person, but think clearly, there is only one chance at the moment, this poison is incomprehensible, although it does not endanger your life, but every fifteenth day of the month, you will definitely suffer from the pain of poison and fire." Meng Po spoke slowly, her voice was not loud, but it was enough for Ji Xiao, who was already close to the door, to hear it. He stood there and didn't go out anymore, turned around, and yelled at Si Yuanchen and Yuan Li, who were still beside Meng Po: "Don't go yet?!" Si Yuanchen didn't move, and his eyes motioned for Yuan Li to calm Ji Xiao's emotions.
Ji Xiao himself was also puzzled, when he heard that Meng Po said that he would drink that kind of forgetful dust soup to cross the Nai He Bridge, he still only had a trace of unwillingness and reluctance in his heart, but he never thought that when he heard that Meng Po wanted Si Yuanchen to take her slave girl, he was very unhappy in his heart, as if someone was going to rob him of his belongings, he was so angry.
"Hey......" Yuan Li trotted to Ji Xiao's side, "Don't be willful. We may still be able to discuss it with Meng Po. Yuan Li was busy calming Ji Xiao's emotions, but others were not smart, so they had to keep repeating a few words.
Si Yuanchen stood beside Meng Po and spoke again: "Dare to ask Meng Po, what other price can be exchanged?" He was dressed in a long shirt and was very handsome, but because of these two conditions, his brows frowned slightly.
"Why, Childe doesn't look down on the old slave girl Erong, doesn't he? Although the old slave girl is not said to be alluring to the country and the city, she is also a beautiful woman. There should be a lot of male ghosts who love her. Childe doesn't have to be so embarrassed. Seeing Si Yuanchen like this, Meng Po also knew his state of mind in her heart, she was used to seeing so many trivial things in Hongchen, if she couldn't see the cattiness between these two people, she Meng Po was really in vain.
"But Childe, it's okay if you don't want to. But the old body only has these two quid pro quo. Seeing that it will be fifteen in a few days, the old body will not say much, give you a day, and you can think about it yourself. With that, she turned and walked to the back of the hall, and disappeared from the eyes of the three of them in a short time.
"Three sons," the slave girl who was called Erong by Meng Po stepped forward, "and the mother-in-law said to let the slave maid take the three down to rest." ”
"There's Miss Lao." Si Yuanchen thanked him, and then went to the door to pull Ji Xiao, who was still standing motionless, and followed E Rong to the temporary residence.
Fortunately, Meng Po's mansion is not small, and there are many rooms left, and the three of them were taken to the three side by side, and E Rong retreated.
Si Yuanchen took Ji Xiao into Ji Xiao's room, pressed him to the edge of the table and sat down, seeing that his mood was still not quite right, he didn't bother him silently. Although he had never seen the pain of the poisonous fire in his heart, he was now reluctant to suffer the slightest pain. It will be fifteen in a few days, and if he thinks about it, he still has to go to Meng Po to find the ten perfect soup that Ji Xiao needs to detoxify. But now seeing that Ji Xiao's mood is so low, he doesn't feel at ease and walks away. But he has always been cold and indifferent, and if he wants to comfort him, he really won't say those coaxing words. It's just that seeing Ji Xiao like this, his mood is also extremely uncomfortable.
Si Yuanchen called Yuan Li and asked him to take care of Ji Xiao, and he went to find Meng Po himself.
Si Yuanchen glanced at Ji Xiao again, this kid, although his face was blue and he looked angry, but it made him feel so "cute"? shook his head and sighed how he could be like this now, thinking that it was because he had been with Ji Xiao for a long time. Swinging his sleeves, Si Yuanchen turned around and walked out of the room.
