Chapter 283: The Mirror That Doesn't Exist
In the legend of the underworld, Meng Po sat on the bridge of the Nai River and cooked a bowl of Meng Po soup for the soul who was about to be reincarnated.
Whoever drinks the soup forgets his past life.
Since Sin Mountain imitates the underworld everywhere, it is very reasonable for a Meng Po to appear here.
I'm just curious, can the soup cooked by Meng Po really make people forget their past lives?
Bai You asked the old woman, "Are you Meng Po?" ”
The old woman nodded: "That's right, I'm Meng Po." ”
Bai You said again: "The legendary Meng Po? ”
Meng Po said: "The legendary Meng Po, I don't know. But...... I've been cooking soup here since I was conscious. I don't think there's anything wrong with me claiming to be Meng Po. ”
I asked Meng Po, "What does your soup do?" ”
Meng Po said: "After drinking the soup, you can forget everything." ”
Bai You sighed: "It's the same as the legendary Meng Po soup?" ”
Meng Po nodded.
She looked at us with a smile: "You guys came to this world by accident, right?" You'd love to get out, right? ”
"There's only one way to get out of here, and that's to drink the soup I cooked. Otherwise, you'll have to stay here forever. ”
Bai You looked around: "When we came in, we didn't see you. ”
Meng Po smiled and said, "You are all from the human world. I'm sure you've all seen shrimp cages. That kind of cage, it's easy to get in, but it's hard to get out. ”
"You're the shrimp in the cage now. Believe me. You can only go out if you drink my soup. ”
Bai You said, "What if we don't drink it? Are you going to keep us in the way? ”
Meng Po said, "I have no interest in stopping you. I just arrested your paper figurines just to make the fire a little bigger. ”
"There's a lot of stuff ahead, and if you don't drink my soup, you won't be able to get by."
Seeing that we didn't speak, Meng Po said quietly, "What? You don't believe me? ”
I said, "Can you tell us more about it?" What's up ahead? ”
Meng Po said, "Some of the things ahead can bring out the dark side of your heart. You will have demons in your heart, and then you will be controlled by them, and you will become neither human nor ghostly. In the end, you will go crazy, go berserk, and drive yourself to a dead end. ”
"If you drink my Meng Po soup, you will lose your memory. A person who has no memory will have no dark side, and you will be completely safe. ”
I said lightly: "Meng Po soup, we won't drink it." What is the difference between losing your memory and dying? ”
Bai You also said lightly: "My heart is very pure, I don't need to erase my memory." ”
Meng Po smiled and said, "Please." But let me warn you. You guys don't have to linger here, there's something wrong with the fog here. Didn't you notice? Your souls are being weakened. ”
I tried, and found that my wretched soul was indeed slipping.
I looked at Bai You, and she obviously felt the same way.
Xia Tian said, "Let's go over and have a look." ”
I hummed and lifted my foot to walk forward.
Meng Po suddenly stopped us and handed us a piece of hemp rope: "Tie yourselves together." When the three of them are together, they can take care of them. ”
I looked at her strangely: "Why are you so kind to help us?" ”
Meng Po smiled: "I've always been a kind-hearted person, it's just that you don't believe me." Isn't it true that I'm cooking Meng Po soup here to help people? ”
I took the hemp rope and smiled at Meng Po: "Thank you." ”
Then, I took Xia Tian and Bai You and walked towards the mist.
When we couldn't see Meng Po, I checked the hemp rope and found that it was an ordinary hemp rope, which had not been used for hand or foot.
I handed the hemp rope to Bai Yu again.
Bai You checked it and nodded, "It's okay." ”
I tied the hemp rope around my waist, and then helped Xia Tian and Bai You tie it up.
Among the three of us, Bai You's strength is the highest, but after I got Master Yang's Golden Passage, my knowledge has increased a lot, so I am at the forefront.
Bai You is in charge of breaking the rear, guarding against someone sneaking up on us from behind.
As for Xia Tian, an ordinary person, he was protected by us in the middle.
The three of us walked cautiously forward.
Bai You said: "Don't we need paper figures to explore the way?" ”
I said, "Paper figures are useless here." The fog here is too thick. I tried a few just now, but it quickly got wet and stuck to the ground and couldn't move. ”
Bai You sighed regretfully.
Suddenly, there was a figure in front of me.
I suddenly became nervous and whispered, "Be careful, there's someone in front." ”
Everyone got nervous and immediately stopped.
I took out my peachwood sword and moved it forward step by step.
I felt that the person in front of me had also spotted us, and he was standing there, motionless, as if on guard against us.
I took a deep breath and cautiously approached him.
As the distance gets closer, the influence of the fog becomes less and less.
I felt as if he was holding a weapon in his hand, like a sword.
In this kind of place, the first strike is stronger.
I hesitated slightly, and the peachwood sword in my hand stabbed out.
Who knew that the person in front of me was just as I thought, and almost at the same time stabbed his sword at me.
I was startled and quickly ducked to the side.
That's when I realized that the two of us were doing exactly the same.
I looked closely and saw that this person looked exactly like me, and it turned out to be me in the mirror.
Who put a big mirror at the ferry? Isn't this deliberately scaring people?
I shook my head.
At this time, I saw Bai You and Xia Tian looking at me with a frightened expression.
Xia Tian asked even more worriedly: "What's wrong with you?" ”
I was stunned for a moment and said to them, "It's okay, it was just a mirror, and I took me in the mirror as an enemy." Rest assured. It's okay. ”
Unexpectedly, Xia Tian and Bai You's expressions were even more afraid.
Xia Tian said with a pale face, "What are you talking about." Where are the mirrors here? ”
I was slightly stunned, and then I realized that there was indeed no mirror in front of me. And the guy who looked exactly like me just now is gone.
My cold sweat came down in one fell swoop.
Did I just hallucinate?
Or is there something dirty here, pretending to be me?
When I was thinking about it, Bai You next to me suddenly said with a blurred gaze: "Well, there is really a mirror here, and I have seen it too." ”
She raised her hand and waved it in front of her, "Isn't this me in the mirror?" ”
I looked in front of her, and there was nothing, nothing.
I snorted coldly and stabbed her in front of her with my sword.
Poof, I felt like I had stabbed something.
It seems that there is an evil creature pretending to be us.
However, before I could rejoice after I succeeded, Bai You next to me vomited a mouthful of blood.
