Chapter I
Meng Po soup. Legend has it that if you drink a bowl, no matter how unforgettable the love in your previous life is, it will pass away. After drinking it, it is completely broken with the previous life. All the entanglements in the red dust will be frozen in the Nai He Bridge forever with the "Meng Po Soup" entering the throat.
"Mother-in-law, there is a person who is unwilling to drink Meng Po soup." The little ghost who was in charge of the ladle for Meng Po said with some dissatisfaction, "What should I do, mother-in-law." "The little imp has seen too much of this kind of thing. In order to see the favorite of this life again, you can skip Meng Po soup, but you must jump into the Lethe River and wait for thousands of years before you can be reincarnated.
You may see your loved one walking across the bridge, you can see her, but she can't see you. You watched her walk across the Nai He Bridge over and over again, and drank bowl after bowl of Meng Po soup. If it is a thousand years later, your mind will not change, you can re-enter the world and find the person you loved most in your previous life, but at that time she will no longer remember you.
When Meng Po heard the little ghost in charge of the ladle say this, she just waved her hand and said, "Then let him jump into the Lethe River." But the little imp in charge of the ladle said, "Mother-in-law, the man said that he wanted to see you." He said that he must not forget the reason why he loved the most in his previous life, so he wants to meet you. ”
Meng Po can't remember how many people this is, there are such people every day. If you don't want to forget your previous life, but you don't want to jump into the Lechuan River and suffer for thousands of years of torture and waiting, how can there be such a good thing. It's just that Meng Po has such a position, and she will get tired of doing it for a long time. "Let's go meet it."
What Meng Po saw was a young man in a white robe, and the young man seemed to have been waiting for her for a long time. Seeing her coming, I looked at the young man and said, "Mother-in-law, I beg you, don't let me forget her." ”
Seeing Meng Po coming, the dignified seven-foot man knelt directly in front of Meng Po, "Mother-in-law, please." Don't let me forget her. Meng Po helped him up, sighed and said, "That's it." The old body has been a Meng Po for many years, and a young person like you has seen a lot of old people. If you don't want to drink Meng Po soup, then you can tell the old body the reason, and if the old body is satisfied, he will naturally let you go. ”
Meng Po looked at the white-robed young man and said bitterly, "My story with her, my story with her." ”
"I ruined everything for her."
My name is Yi Wu, I am the ruling elder of the gang, and I have the obligation to remove all obstacles from the gang, Qingling's family is a very famous family in the rivers and lakes, and has a strong connection, and I have a grudge against my gang, so I received the news of the extinction.
In fact, as far as I was concerned, I had no choice but to obey the will of the gang and destroy the village. It's just that the gang says they can't stay, so I'll destroy it. It was also at that time that I found Qingling. At that time, Qingling was only seven or eight years old, and she didn't know that I had burned down her village.
I looked at the little girl of seven or eight years old, trying to save her parents when the fire was spreading, but there was nothing she could do. The fire was so strong that she couldn't see who I was or where I was, but I could hear her say, "Daddy! "Mother!"
Many times Qingling had not yet climbed to their side, but was stopped by the raging fire, and could only look at her parents, crying.
I knew that I was the ruling elder of the gang, so I didn't plan to leave the life of the green spirit in the first place, but I wanted to turn around and leave. But when I saw her crying silently, I finally sighed.
Just let me do a good deed once and accumulate merit for good deeds in the future.
I saved Qingling, and when I carried her out, I listened to her crying and shouting, "Dad!" "Mother!"
I can't save her parents, and even saving her is just a whim.
I rescued her and was about to turn around and leave, but she grabbed me, and when I turned around, I only saw a dark little face with a hoarse voice and said, "Please, take me away." ”
My original intention was to refuse, I had no reason to take this child, and even more so that in the future, when this child knew that I was the murderer of her family, he might not just let me go. I don't seem to have a reason to take her away.
I asked, "Aren't you ridiculous that you're just a stranger and you asked me to take you away?" ”
Actually, I didn't want to say it so seriously, but I was just a child, and I didn't understand what I was thinking about. I could have told her well, but I preferred to use such a tone. I thought the kid was going to flinch and even be scared by me. If you're scared by me, I don't want to take away a child who might become an enemy in the future.
I heard the boy say, "Even if you're a bad person, I've got nowhere to go, I'm alone everywhere." ”
I can't ignore a kid saying something like that. I looked at her for a long time, and she didn't dare to look at me with her head down, but her hand kept grabbing my clothes.
I sighed, squatted down again, and watched the child's tears flow uncontrollably, but he didn't cry, and his eyes were red.
In the end, it's just a child, and even adults can't necessarily withstand such a thing, let alone a child.
When she saw me squatting down, she cautiously asked, "Then can I go with you now?" ”
I wiped the ashes off her face with a handkerchief, which had been white and stained a dark gray. I asked, "What's your name?" She said, "My name is Qing Ling, Blue Spirit, Dexterous Spirit." ”
"Qingling. The name is nice. I touched her head and said, "Would you like to call me Master?" ”
Qing Ling seemed to understand that I had acquiesced to her being able to follow me, and exclaimed, "Master." Then look at me.
I stood up and finally took her hand.
That's it, it's the only time I do good deeds in my life, if Qingling knows the truth of the matter in the future, if I will be killed by my own apprentice, then I have no complaints.
I took Qingling to the place where the gang gathered, and the gang sent a lot of people to carry out different tasks, but we had to report the situation once and then disperse. Those elders looked at Qing Ling, and they all said in confusion, "Yi Wu, who is this child?" ”
I said, "It's the disciple I received, it's the water spirit root, and I am also the water spirit root, and it's just right to inherit my mantle." ”
An elder nodded approvingly and said, "Yes, water spirit roots are rare, but water spirit roots are much stronger than similar spirit roots." Just like you are only seventeen or eighteen now, but you have become the ruling elder of the gang, and if you can inherit your mantle, then this child will also be a great help to the gang. ”
I replied, "Hmm." ”
With that, they began to discuss the future of the gang, and it was not until late at night, when Qing Ling had fallen asleep, that I went to meet them and report on the completion of the mission, and they left before me.
Probably not used to it, Qing Ling got up many times in the middle of the night, and every time he woke up, he looked frightened. I think the flames burned her parents, and they actually burned her.
In order to carry out the gang's mission, I killed Qingling's mother, and now I have Qingling as an apprentice, which also makes me feel better.
