Chapter Twenty-Three: Meng Po Soup
Wang Xi's attention was not here at all, he knew very well that the coward that Uncle Chang was talking about was referring to himself, and he even knew what he was talking about, so it was difficult to answer.
He has never even been to the political and educational office since he was a child, so he has no such experience.
Along the way, Xiao Yi said very righteously that he would accompany him together, and he was bored alone anyway.
When he came to the "little black room" of the Ministry of Medical Education, Wang Xi was unsurprised to find that the two senior brothers were also staying there, and seeing that he and Xiao Yi were also here, Liu Ying asked, "What did Xiao Yi do?" β
Wang Xi waved his hand, walked over to rub Senior Brother Liu's shoulders, and said, "Senior Brother, what's the situation in the underworld now?" It feels like they're a mess better than we are. β
Liu Yingqi glanced at him and said, "Empty-handed?" β
Wang Xi said: "How is it possible? I didn't see the two senior brothers when I got up early in the morning, thinking that you might be on duty, so I went to the canteen to buy breakfast for you, but the canteen was sold out again, so I had to go outside to buy it againΒ·Β·Β·Β·Β·Β·
After speaking, he sent the bag that the master handed him before to his senior brother. After the master jumped away, Uncle Chang said that she had already eaten, and she was busy blowing her hair, so she didn't care about the breakfast at all, Wang Xi had to carry it.
Liu Ying glanced at Xiao Yi, who was snickering on the side, and asked suspiciously, "Really?" Little one, you say. β
Xiao Yi began to peck at the rice again, and said: "Yes, yes, yes, we all eat, the instant noodles we ate, I don't believe Senior Brother Liu, you smell it, Wang Xi still has a good fragrance on his body." β
Liu Ying greeted Zhou Ke, who was lying on the ground, and said, "Get up and eat, haven't you been shouting that you're hungry?" β
Zhou Ke said: "Let the little junior brother take it, I don't want to eat those greasy ...... this morning"
Liu Yin's hand also paused, considering that Wang Xi had a previous record in this area after all, he raised his eyebrows and asked, "Is it?" β
Wang Xi didn't know what this breakfast was, and he stammered a little for a while. Fortunately, Xiaoyi was smart and said categorically: "Of course not!" β
This must not be some kind of back-to-the-pot meat, salt and fried meat or something, the apprentice is stupid, it is impossible for the master to be stupid, right? This was bought by Zhao Zhuren himself.
The room was clean, there was no bed, no table or bench, nothing, not even a window, just a glass door. Liu Ying sat down cross-legged and prepared to start breakfast.
Only then did Zhou Ke begin to follow Wang Xi's previous question and said, "The affairs of the underworld are indeed a bit troublesome. By the way, you know the dress on Xiaoyi, right? For us, it is to play the role of a transfiguration shape, although it cannot be mass-produced at present, but you better get one, which is good for you at present. It's basically equivalent to pumping your spiritual power all the time, remember how you exercised your spiritual power in the first place, right? β
Of course, Wang Xi remembers that at that time, he soaked in the medical record room every day to read the medical records, and even now, he basically maintained this good habit, as long as he was in the courtyard, he would go over in the morning to shake around, and no matter how busy he was, he would at least read one or two books. His spiritual power was greatly tempered during that time, and he would squeeze out his spiritual power every day when he looked at the medical records. Although the word "very large", from the other side, refers to one's own horizontal line, which was too low at the beginning. I still remember that Senior Brother Liu once ridiculed that he had changed from five scum to ten scum, and said that if he had to count it, his combat strength would be about 1,000.
After entering the courtyard for so long, Wang Xi certainly knew that this method of using numerical values to quantify combat effectiveness was inaccurate. But for him, who is improving every day, it has become a kind of fun, that is, to know how much his strength has improved. So let Senior Brother Liu evaluate it every once in a while.
But there is no such evaluation system, or quantitative standard, in the courtyard. So Liu Ying basically sensed it at random, and then said a number randomly, anyway, as long as his strength improved a little, then just say that number a little higher.
The only bad thing is that the frequency of Wang Xi's asking is a bit too high, so now according to Liu Ming's nonsense, Wang Xi's combat power is actually 110. In the past, Senior Brother Liu used to beat him a hundred, but now he can only beat him ten, which makes him very happy.
When Wang Xi heard Xiao Yi introduce the so-called second-generation white coat before, he didn't expect to come here, but now when he heard the senior brother's guidance, he immediately understood.
He asked, "Will that work for Xiaoyi?" β
Zhou Ke replied: "It's useful, but her spiritual power is relatively abundant, and the effect is not very great." Theoretically, this is effective for anyone, but it's especially useful for you, a novice, as if you're in the medical room all the time looking at medical records. β
"Then wouldn't it be double the experience for me to wear this white coat and go to the medical record room to read the medical records? In reality, there are really plug-ins! Wang Xi said in surprise.
Zhou Ke said: "Hehe, then you can try, but it's not like that." β
Wang Xi nodded, he found that he wanted a lot of things now. I was still thinking last night, I have to find a chance to get a scalpel of my own, and now there is such an artifact that suits me very well, which is very exciting.
Hey, none of this is anything earth-shattering. The scalpel is basically standard for the people in the courtyard, and even the little one has a small round knife called mourning wood. Not to mention this second-generation white coat, it will definitely be one for everyone at that time.
Why can't I ask for it, it's actually this kind of thing!
How miserable are you doing? In people's novels and TV series, at least some epic equipment must be worthy of the protagonist's heart, and then get it after a lot of hard work, of course, it can also be smashed directly from the sky and fall into the hands of the protagonist......
And I just want some standard equipment......
Forget it, don't think so much for the time being, and continue to listen to what Senior Brother has to say.
Zhou Ke sat up, he estimated that Liu Ying should have put things in order. It's just a breakfast, and it's not an exquisite meal, I and Wang Xi have already chatted a few words, why should it be set up, why haven't you greeted yourself yet?
He looked at Liu Ying and saw that he was looking at him with a loveless expression, looking at that posture, he should have maintained this posture for some time, just to wait for the moment when he got up and looked at him.
What else can be a problem, looking at Liu Ming's expression, it is clear that there is a groove in breakfast.
Zhou Ke leaned over, glanced at it with his eyes, and then looked at Wang Xi with the same expression, meaning, please explain a sentence or two.
It looks like so many boxes, and the result?
A glass of red date honey water, a small bowl of steamed egg custard, a small bowl of green vegetable porridge, and a few pieces of fruit......
"Are you sure, we two big men, eat this for breakfast?" Liu Ying asked, pointing to the pile of breakfast.
Zhou Ke also said: "Or did you forget which of the two of us?" β
Wang Xi made a bitter face and said, "Didn't you dislike eating those before?" β
Liu Ying said: "Then it's too delicate now, right?" I don't think there's enough to eat for one person. β
Zhou Ke took the green vegetable porridge and said, "Forget it, you are still in confinement, what are you asking for so much, the brain of the little junior brother, you can't keep up." If you want me to say, this breakfast is more like a very careful preparation for girls. β
Xiao Yi and Wang Xi immediately glanced at each other and did not speak.
Wang Xi hurriedly diverted the topic and asked, "Senior brother, what's going on with this Meng Po soup?" β
This bowl is too small, Zhou Ke only used two bites, finished eating, wiped his mouth with paper, and said: "How did I know, I just heard about such a thing, so I and Liu Ying were called here." But I guess even if I go out to ask, it's in vain, how long has this happened, and I'm afraid that the underworld is just stunned now, right? On the contrary, they want to make cowherds in batches, and it seems that they have discussed the results with us, so you can ask them then. β
Liu Ying handed the fruit to Xiao Yi, ate the steamed egg custard herself, and said, "In the afternoon, it's almost time to let us out." The Ministry of Medical Education said that the two of us will be punished to be on duty tonight, because tonight, the possibility of the dead attacking again is also very high. I finally know why people like to play night raids in ancient times, because as long as you do it once, then even if you don't come, you can make your opponent nervous, and you have to send more people to watch the night. β
"Afternoon? So fast? Wang Xi asked.
Liu Ying said: "Yes, you estimate that you will be let go at noon." After coming in, haven't you felt that your spiritual power and spiritual sense have been suppressed to a minimum? β
Wang Xi quickly checked his situation and found that it was indeed the case. At this time, he remembered the night when he changed his three views, he and Senior Brother Liu came to the First Courtyard, when He Yuyu found that Uncle Chang's silent knife had the soul breath of the master, thinking that it was Uncle Chang's hand, and he wanted to take her to the Medical Education Department of the First Hospital, which originally referred to this kind of place.
He hurriedly said, "And this kind of treasure land? Then I'm going to stay here every day, wouldn't it be three times the experience? β
Liu Ying glanced at him with the eyes of an idiot, and said, "It's just suppressing spiritual power and spiritual consciousness here, and it's not consumed, understand?" β
This reason is very simple, Wang Xi understood it at once, and felt a little pity.
Then Zhou Ke and Liu Ying started chatting, Wang Xi and Xiao Yi also started talking, everyone said their own thing, but it was not boring.
But Wang Xi always felt that something was wrong, something was omitted by himself, just when the senior brother spoke just now, it flashed through his mind, and now he can't remember it at all.
Xiaoyi: "If you didn't have my white coat, I would have given it to you." β
Wang Xi said: "It's okay, everyone will definitely have it at that time, and it is impossible to push everything to Meng Po to do......
That's right! It's Meng Po!
If you want to erase a specific memory, you can't avoid Meng Po Soup!
These are the original words of the original underworld!
At that time, I went to Xiaoyi and their village with my two senior brothers, and finally the underworld, the courtyard and Wu talked together, and when I talked about the information about Liangzi City, I mentioned it.
At that time, everyone thought it was strange that the information of this Liangzi City was well hidden, and after some speculation, they could only focus on whether the other party had the ability to erase specific memories. Just for this matter, I also checked Meng Po. But the results showed that Meng Po was clean in this regard.
Not only is she clean, but even the people below her are clean.
Because there was no problem with the quantity and inventory of Mengpo soup in the underworld, this matter was also ruled out.
And now, when this kind of thing happens again, with ironclad evidence, then the problem comes!
That time, did you have a share in the underworld?
Wang Xi told Zhou Ke about this matter, which means that everyone should not forget the previous things.
Zhou Ke smiled bitterly and said, "Do you know who intercepted this batch of Meng Po soup?" β
Seeing that Wang Xi was a little stunned, Zhou Ke directly gave the answer: "It was intercepted by the underworld...... From the inside of some loose hands...... But it is obvious that the key things in the other party's memory have been erased. Yesterday, you went to find Senior Sister Yingying, although it was also a big event, but it has not yet reached the point of the general mobilization of the whole hospital. At that time, the master was discussing the matter of the Cowherd with King Chu Jiang, if you hadn't poked it out and said that the widow was inquiring about Lu Ningshuang, the courtyard would not have been so nervous. That is, after that, King Chu Jiang said that he would put the matter of the Cowherd aside for the time being, because they felt that there could be no clues in the soul search, so they could only try the technology of the yang world, such as monitoring or something, and see what forces or people these people had been in contact with before. ββ
Wang Xi frowned, in this way, the reaction of the underworld was actually quite normal.
Meng Po soup is definitely a secret that is not passed on, and it has actually spread to the yang world, and of course the underworld has to deal with it as a top priority.
But in this case, it can't be that the underworld itself is shouting to catch the thief, there is no need for this at all, and even if it is a play directed and acted by the underworld, at least it is impossible for the upper echelons to participate.
"Senior brother, ask a question that may be relatively unlevel, this Meng Po soup, if the recipe is handed over to our inner courtyard, or some other force, can we copy it?" Wang Xi seemed to think of a possibility and asked.
Since there is no problem with the inventory of Meng Po soup in the underworld, there is only one possibility left, and these Meng Po soups are produced outside the underworld.
Zhou Ke was given this question to the card owner, because no one had ever thought about it.
He looked at Liu Ying, and the other party also had the same expression, lacking relevant knowledge points.
At this time, Xiao Yi said timidly: "That, Senior Brother Zhou, Senior Brother Liu, Meng Po Soup, can't be produced in the yang world......
The three brothers all turned their heads and looked at Xiao Yi, who had been quietly beside her, wondering how she knew.
"However, the bridge is on the road, right and wrong do not cross the Lichuan River, there is no right or wrong in front of the Sansheng Stone, and the hometown will meet Meng Po on the side of the platform. This poem was taught to me by my master, and I thought it was beautiful at the time, so I asked two more sentences before I found out about it. The relationship between the master and Meng Po is very good, she said that once she also wanted to drink a sip of Meng Po soup and wanted to forget something, but Meng Po did not agree, saying that there is a reason why there are living people who go to Wangxiang Terrace to drink Meng Po soup. So the master said that she wanted Meng Po to bring out a little for her to drink. β
This is indeed very in line with Meng Po's reaction, because when it comes to drinking Meng Po soup, it must be almost over the Nai He Bridge, drinking it in the underworld, and her habitual thinking makes her never think that Sanyu means to bring a little bit out.
The master said that Meng Po didn't do it at that time, saying that it must be a bad rule. The master changed his thinking, and didn't say that he asked Meng Po to tell him the formula, that is, let Meng Po bring the raw materials to the inner courtyard, give her a quiet place here, and after the production is completed, just give herself a drink. So the underworld doesn't know at all. But Meng Po said that this road would not work, because Meng Po soup is the water of Lechuan, and the water of Lechuan, once it leaves the Lechuan River, it can no longer become Meng Po soup......
Zhou Ke thought about it, thought about all the possibilities, and finally had to say helplessly: "Xiaoyi, are you sure about this matter?" β
Because he has no choice but to wonder if he is wrong based on the reasoning platform provided by Xiaoyi.
But Xiao Yi is very sure and says that there must be nothing wrong.
This knowledge point is mainly relatively unpopular, and no one has paid attention to it at ordinary times. But it's actually not a secret, because even if it is known to the whole world, if you want to get Meng Po soup, you still have to go to the underworld.
For such a thing that can only be produced in a specific place, and there is no secret recipe, there is no need to hide it at all.
Zhou Ke gave up thinking.
In this way, this Meng Po soup was conjured out of thin air?
You can't make it without the Lethe River, and the inventory quantity of the underworld is not wrong, so what is the possibility? It's a contradiction.
Or is the underworld lying?
Although he didn't know that the production of Meng Po soup was originally like this, Zhou Ke knew that this Meng Po soup was a part of the Heavenly Dao, and it was a means for the soul to forget the memories of its previous life before re-entering reincarnation. And this kind of means is not the underworld's own, it is given to the underworld by heaven. It's like the Book of Life and Death, it's in the underworld, and the underworld is also using it, but it wasn't made by the underworld, it seems that it existed there from the beginning.
So now, what's the problem?
At this time, Zhou Ke didn't know that even if his smart head thought about it, he couldn't think of the truth of the facts.
Because in his hands, one of the biggest known conditions is missing.
It can even be said that once there is this known condition, no one can imagine that the original contradiction he feels is not contradictory at all.
