Volume 1 The First Arrival Chapter 12 Meng Po's Purpose
The battle began.
I dodged his fist sideways, and raised my right fist to hit him in the face, and although he didn't know how long he lived, it was clear that he hadn't experienced much hand-to-hand combat, and every time I went on a mission in the human world, it was a matter of life and death, how could I compare to a ghost with such a comfortable life as him.
I saw that he couldn't dodge, and I punched him in the face and fell to the ground, and I immediately took advantage of the victory to chase after him, and stepped towards his chest.
Now that the battle has begun, take him out as fast as you can.
He rolled sideways, dodging my volley, and then a carp stood up, and I took the opportunity to sweep my left leg to his waist, and he lifted his calf, blocking my leg, and then punched me in the abdomen, and I grabbed his hand directly, and my right hand took the opportunity to knock on his face again, this time I didn't succeed, and was blocked by his left palm.
He glared into my eyes and said, "I didn't expect you to have some skills as a young ghost." ”
Not to be outdone: "I didn't expect you to be okay with this pampered old ghost." ”
The two of us separated, each took two steps back, and then I rushed again, my principle is, since I have fought, then the opponent who fights with lightning speed is terrified!
And he seems to be a fighting nation too, and his mistake just now may have come from my misjudgment.
The battle started again, the battle between fists and feet, without any Yin Qi added, I did not practice Yin Qi, and he disdained to use Yin Qi on me, otherwise I would be defeated.
The battle lasted for a long time, about dozens of rounds or so, and the consumption of physical strength in the underworld was relatively low, but since I had not replenished my physical strength since I came to the underworld, time slowly passed, and my pace began to be a little unstable.
Martial arts, pace is the biggest key, as the saying goes: learn martial arts first learn to walk, once the pace is wrong, then the flaws will immediately spread throughout the body.
However, I lacked physical strength, made a wrong step, and was taken advantage of by him, and then pressed step by step, and finally lost under his fist.
I lay on the ground, looking at the dark space in the sky, and I wondered if I could fly, if I could fly all the way up, I would be able to return to the world, even if I died, it would still be the home I had lived in for the rest of my life.
"You've lost."
He stood beside me, looking down at me, and I nodded silently and said, "I know." ”
"But I can't win." He spoke again.
"yes, I know." I say.
"I haven't eaten, it's time to eat soon, let's eat some together."
He sent out an invitation.
As soon as I heard the word 'rice', I suddenly remembered Meng Po.
"No, I have to go back, and if I didn't buy my things, the old woman might be able to fix me." I slowly stood up, patted the dirt off my body, and turned away.
He suddenly opened his mouth and said jokingly: "Okay, Meng Po told me everything about you, and you are really bold enough to dare to tease Meng Po's body on the first day you came." ”
I turned around, looked at him in surprise, and said, "Meng Po told you?" ”
"That's right."
"Then she specially gave me fifty-nine coins to buy something for sixty dollars?"
"That's right."
"Then she made it difficult for you to fix me?"
"You're pretty smart."
Fack! If you can't think of it, you're really stupid.
I said angrily: "I'll just say that Meng Po guy is deliberately manipulating me!" ”
He just looked at me with a smile like he was looking at a retarded person......
I looked at his affectionate eyes, and then remembered what he said just now, and suddenly felt goosebumps all over my body, and involuntarily asked, "Then you don't really have a dragon yang fetish, right?" ”
I saw him silently turn around, carry me, slowly bend down, and make a gesture to pick up soap.
Then he picked up a stone and threw it at me.
"Fetish your uncle!"
We sat side by side, looking at the sky, and I said, "So why am I going now?" Go back? ”
He opened his mouth and said, "Forget it, go back after eating, bring her the things back later, and I'll talk to her when I get back, so that she won't trouble you again." ”
"Don't want that coin?" I asked.
He stood up and laughed, "Who really cares about that Stygian coin." ”
"Come in, the meal is ready." He said.
So I stood up and entered the room to see two pairs of dishes and chopsticks on the table, three dishes and one soup, and the staple food steamed buns, which were really hearty, similar to those in the world.
He looked at my surprised appearance and smiled: "There's nothing to make a fuss about, the yang world is a place for people to stay, and the underworld is a place for ghosts, there is no big difference, let's eat." ”
I took a bite of the food and couldn't help but exclaim, "Ah, it smells!" ”
He smiled: "Fragrant, eat more fragrant, you won't be able to eat such delicious meals in the future." ”
"Why?" I question.
"Because Meng Po doesn't eat, in fact, the most important thing is that Meng Po's cooking is very unpalatable, she can't eat it herself, how can you eat good food if you stay in her in the future."
Belch...... It turned out to be this reason.
"What does Meng Po soup taste like?" I asked.
He shook his head and said, "Well, I don't know, anyway, the person who drank it didn't say what it tasted like, I'm afraid it was too bad to drink, and the person was so scared that he forgot all his memories." ”
I thought about it, and I'm afraid it's the same thing.
I looked at the litmus and mandarin duck tears in the box, and asked puzzledly, "Why are these things contraband?" ”
He replied: "Because the underworld doesn't allow you to buy and sell, it's contraband." ”
"Then why can you still sell it? Aren't you afraid that the underworld will arrest you? After saying that, I suddenly remembered, since it is contraband, why did Meng Po buy it?
"Because someone needs it, it's natural to buy and sell. Of course, I also have permission to sell this thing. He laughs.
"It's the underworld that doesn't sell, and it's the underworld that sells?" I kind of don't understand.
"Because everyone needs these things, you can't completely ban them, or the revenants will rebel, and you can't completely allow them, otherwise the underworld will be in chaos. Therefore, it can only be explicitly forbidden and secretly sold. ”
"In addition to these things, I have other things here, such as the weapons that imprison the souls of the dead, the weapons that severely damage the souls of the dead, etc., in fact, Yama knows very well that everyone has a little dirty thing in their hearts, you can buy and use the things I have here, but there must be a limit, beyond this limit, the underworld will find you, and then you can only go to hell to stay."
I understand, this is the same as the world, sometimes he will ban you from certain industries, but because of the existence of these industries, many contradictions in society have been resolved, so some people will also turn a blind eye.
"Did Meng Po buy these things to make Meng Po soup?" I said.
"That's right." He nodded.
"Then I have these things, can I also make Meng Po soup?" I asked naively, because I wanted to be an ideal and ambitious ghost and make a fortune and start a business, starting with making Meng Po soup.
He looked at me with a smile: "Hahahaha! You don't want to steal business with Meng Po!! ”
"Uh...... Can't you? I asked.
He smiled: "Haha, you can, unless you can convince them to join forces to kick Meng Po down, or defeat Meng Po and rob her Meng Po Mansion." ”
Well...... Both of these goals are quite ambitious, and we need to plan for them......
