Chapter 46: On the banks of the Lethe River
"By the way, Yueyao, how can you have muscle-building pills? I remember that muscle-building pills are not only available to people who have entered the final competition" She was busy helping Ximei to heal just now, but she didn't pay attention to it, and now she remembered to ask.
"This one, this was given to me by Senior Brother Qingfeng. Originally, Senior Brother Qingfeng was going to give it to Taoyao. But later, Mo Li gave his one to Tao Yao, and Senior Brother Qingfeng gave me this. I'm just a peach in the light. ”
Ximei, who was walking at the end, heard this, her eyes darkened, and her heart was filled with jealousy. Why? In everyone's eyes, almost only Tao Yao is seen. This was the case in the previous life, obviously she and Daji had accompanied Di Xin for many years, but Di Xin only had her in his eyes. For the sake of her liking, he built a lot of construction, and for her safety, he harmed his wife and children. She obviously loves him, but it's a pity that he has never had her in his heart, even if he is very good to himself, but because he is Daji's sister.
But why is this still the case in this life, obviously he has no heart, why is he still so good to her.
She will always remember that scene. How many midnight dreams, it was her nightmare. She woke up crying and sat until dawn. She waited for him to reincarnate, and she looked for him for many years before she finally determined that this was him, and then grew up with him and went to Fanghu Mountain together.
When she saw that he refused to be a god, she resolutely jumped off the god-sealing platform. She couldn't rest assured, and followed him all the way to the Lethe River.
He staggered to the banks of the Lethe River. There is a bridge over the Lechuan River. Anyone who goes to reincarnation has to cross such a bridge.
However, there is a grandmother by the bridge, giving everyone who passes by a bowl of soup. Say to everyone, "A lifetime of love and hatred, a lifetime of ups and downs, gains and losses, all forget with this bowl of soup!"
There were people in front of him who didn't want to drink. He is a thin scholar.
"I don't want to forget, I can't stop drinking. ”
"After drinking this bowl of soup, I was able to cross the Nai He Bridge. Only then can we forget all the shackles of this life and this life, and enter the reincarnation of the next life without worry. ”
"But I love her. I want to take this memory with me and stay with her again in the next life. ”
"Child, if you don't drink this bowl of soup, then you will have to jump into the Lethe River and wait for thousands of years before you can be reincarnated. ”
"I can wait!"
"How many people have I seen who have been waiting here for thousands of years. But after a thousand years, even if the mind is not extinguished, how many people finally re-enter the world and find the lover of their previous life. In a thousand years, ordinary people can be reincarnated more than ten times, how do you know if she will meet another lover in another life after you and be willing to deliver him to the next life. Or can you bear to let her suffer for thousands of years in this cold and biting Lethe River like you, looking at you from afar, but she can't say a word. ”
The man was silent, his head bowed and his toes on tiptoe, refusing to speak.
Meng Po knew that his heart was shaken, "Look at what is written on that shore?"
The man looked up, and there was a bluestone in front of him, and the words on the stone were bright red as blood, "Ascend to the other side early." ”
"Drink it, forget all those who care about this life, those who hate it. ”
In the end, the man didn't insist anymore and drank the bowl of Meng Po soup. Meng Po is right, he is willing to endure thousands of years of loneliness and suffering in the Lechuan River for her, but he is not willing to bear this hardship with her.
Later, Meng Po served a bowl of soup and handed it to Di Xin.
Di Xin looked at the orange soup in his hand, and a crystal teardrop slipped from the corner of his eye and fell into the bowl. He drank it all without the slightest hesitation. This life is too bitter, he wants to forget, forget the woman who made him the most ridiculous emperor in the world.
The soup was gone, but he found that he still remembered it clearly.
"Why do I still remember? Meng Po, give me another bowl of soup!"
Meng Po shook her head, "I collected everyone's tears in this life, and only boiled them into the last bowl of soup in this life." If you drink it, you forget it, and if you drink it, you don't have it. ”
"But I can't forget it!"
Meng Po looked up at him, this was the second person she had ever met. The second one said that after drinking Meng Po soup, he could not forget the past. The first is herself. She couldn't forget it, and she didn't want to re-enter the cycle with her memories, so she stayed here. Later, the old Meng Po left, and she became the new Meng Po.
"If you can't forget it, you won't forget it!"
"But I want to forget. ”
"You want to forget, but your heart doesn't want to forget. ”
"My heart?" Di Xin clutched his heart. "I don't want to forget my heart, so don't do it!" he put his five fingers into his claws, and plunged straight into his heart, ripping out his heart. He held his heart in his hands and looked at the beating heart. For the sake of Daji's safety, he once ripped out Uncle Bigan's heart and lost the trust of the world. Now he has gouged out his heart. It's like a sad joke.
"If you don't want to forget, then you can stay in this Lethe River forever!" After speaking, he threw that heart into the surging Lethe River. Then he staggered across the bridge.
She watched him so cruelly that she wanted to forget, and tears poured down her face. She could feel how much it hurt Daji had inflicted on him, so painful that she would rather tear out her heart than forget. But without deeper love, how could there be such heavy pain? After all, his love for Daji has gone deep into the bone marrow.
After he left, she heard Meng Po say, "What an idiot, without a heart, I'm afraid I won't love anymore!"
She wanted him to forget the pain of this life and start over. But she didn't want his future reincarnation to be just a heartless walking corpse. If a person has no heart, what joy is there in life?
She ran to the Lethe River and jumped in, trying to get his heart back. The water of the Lechuan River is so cold, her bones hurt from the cold. But she didn't catch it for a long time.
"Girl, it's you who he wants to forget. Don't fish, it's been washed away a long time ago. ”
"No, no, I don't believe it!" she didn't tell Meng Po that it wasn't her, but stubbornly searched back and forth in the Lechuan River for a long time, but she never found it. In the end, he went ashore in despair, and sat on the shore for I don't know how long.
Meng Po looked at her and sighed, "I can't understand the crazy men and women in this world more and more!" She originally stayed here because she wanted to forget and couldn't forget, and she didn't want to reincarnate with memories. But now, she has forgotten the appearance of that person, the name of that person, if it weren't for the sentence written in the brief book that recorded her life, I'm afraid she would have forgotten why she became Meng Po.
Originally, those who thought they could not forget were already scattered with the past in this mundane thing. On the bank of the Lechuan River, by the bridge, she has seen how many people's lives have been exhausted, although she has long been numb to the point of insensibility, but she still can't help but persuade, "Girl, you are not a human being, I am afraid that this life can only end like this." You can go to his afterlife, and if you have a heart, you will always meet him. ”
Ximei muttered, "The afterlife? yes, there is an afterlife." She has been with him since she was a child, integrating herself into his life little by little. She got up from the ground and said "thank you" to Meng Po.
Because she secretly left the god sealing platform, she was not named a god. was also punished by Jiang Ziya for this, and his cultivation was greatly reduced. So much so that even a simple human form could not last long. At that time, she traveled back and forth between the deep mountains and old forests and the people. Her human form could only last for more than a month, so she spent a month looking for the reincarnation of Di Xin in the human world, and then when the month expired, she went to the mountains to continue her cultivation. It wasn't until she found the shapeshifting grass that allowed her to maintain her human form for many years. Needless to say, the hardships during this period are needless to say, but every time she thinks of that meager hope, she is reluctant to give up even if she is tired and painful.
But now, she has mixed feelings in her heart. If you say you don't regret it, it's false. For him, she failed to become a god, her cultivation was greatly reduced, she worked hard in the world, and she was with him for many years. She gave up everything for him, and after all, she still couldn't withstand her.
She struggled in her heart, but now hatred grows in her heart, and love has long taken root. She originally thought that if Tao Yao wouldn't hurt him again, she could retreat to the next best thing, but now she found that she couldn't. She has already wasted her life for him, how can she bear to let people cut off her beard halfway. Anyway, Mo Li should be hers, in the last life, she had already let go once, didn't she. She is a demon, so why should she be moral. In this life, no matter what, use all the dirty and dirty means, and keep Mo Li by his side.
She walked to Mo Li's side, "Senior Brother Mo Li, you started at the same time as me, but now you have given all the good things like muscle pills to Tao Yao, which is too favoritism." ”
She was already quite weak because of her injuries. Now that these words came out, Mo Li's face was also embarrassed. After all, Ximei did enter at the same time as him, and now he is also seriously injured, so he needs this even more.
"You also know that I was able to get the Ben Thunder Sword, all of which are the credit of Tao Yao, and this muscle pill is just a peach in return. If you really need it, I will go and ask for it, and if there is a more suitable one in the future, I will give it to her. ”
"It's okay, I'm just saying it casually. I just took the muscle-building pills given by Senior Sister Yueyao and was already much better, but if I hadn't heard Senior Sister Yueyao mention it just now, I wouldn't have known that Tao Yao also had it in her hand. Ximei looked empathetic.
Sure enough, as Xi Mei expected. Mo Li listened to what Ximei said, frowned, and glanced at Tao Yao.
Mo Li didn't expect it, but now that Ximei mentioned it, she thought that it was clear that Tao Yao also had muscle pills in her hand, but she didn't mention half of it. On the contrary, Yue Yao repeatedly wanted to let it. Could it be that she was originally a selfish person, and now that this muscle pill is useful to herself, she refuses to give up a penny?
Ximei glanced at Tao Yao in front of her, Tao Yao was a little far away from them, and she didn't notice what they were talking to. Ximei's purpose was not really to get back the muscle pill, but to slowly bury the introduction in Mo Li's heart, and wait for the introduction to slowly ignite one day, so that the two would never be together again.
