Chapter 35: The Second Quest (1)
The black stone bridge spans the Yellow Spring, Meng Hui followed Bai Yu across the bridge, and saw a small black pavilion at the end of the bridge, and the plaque hung horizontally read "Lethe River Pavilion".
Lethe Pavilion is supported by four black columns, and the corners of the eaves are raised high, which looks quite artistic.
Next to the column in the pavilion is a black wooden cabinet similar to a Chinese medicine cabinet, with a large wooden chair in the middle, and a black pot floating in front of the chair, which looks no different from the casserole of stewing soup in the sun.
"This is your office. There are soup ingredients in the cabinet, what are the specifics, how to boil, you have to go over there to see the secret method. Bai Yu waited for Meng Hui to wander around the pavilion before pointing to the end of the bridge, "Let's go, teach you to read first." ”
When he came to the end of the bridge, Meng Hui saw the ghost-like words on the stone slab and knew that this was the secret method of boiling Meng Po soup.
Bai Yu didn't look at the words on the stone slab, stood aside and stretched out his right hand to spread his five fingers, grabbing it in the direction of the secret method.
Meng Hui saw him grab a ball of white light, and before he could ask what it was, he saw the white light thrown by him between his eyebrows. "What's the situation?!" There were countless points of light bursting in her mind, not painful or itchy, but there were a lot of ghost drawing runes, and she easily understood the meaning of each rune.
"That's amazing!" Meng Hui looked at the slate again, the content on it was already clear, and there was not a single word he didn't know. "Take the Yellow Spring Water ......"
"Stop, stop!" As soon as Meng Hui read a few words, Bai Yu covered his ears meaninglessly, the meaning was very clear, he didn't want to listen to the secret method. "This thing can only be seen by Meng Po. Your soul is not the same as ours, and if we memorize the secret method, we will not be able to bear the effect, and our memory will be affected. ”
Meng Hui was surprised, the secret method of boiling soup is really simple, so simple that there is no need to solemnly engrave it on the stone slab, but I didn't expect it to be something that ordinary souls can see.
"Eh, where is Cui Yuying?" Meng Hui looked around, except for her and Bai Yu, there was no third soul here.
"In the river." Bai Yu pointed to the two translucent boats floating on the hazy yellow spring under the bridge, hidden in the fog, and they couldn't be seen at all if they didn't look carefully.
Sitting on the two boats was Cui Yuying and Princess Pingyang. "Only them? What about other souls? ”
Bai Yu explained: "Most people are ordinary souls after death, and if they fall into the Yellow Spring, they will lose their memory, and they can go to reincarnation if they go down the river. Only the soul that has not fulfilled the wish and has a special birth date is called a yin soul. ”
"The lower Yin Spirits have no memory, and they can't figure out their own wishes, so you need to investigate and solve them yourself. You don't have a cultivation now, you can only see low-level Yin Souls, in fact, there are still a few high-level ones lined up behind. You can't feel the time in the yellow spring, you don't need to rush slowly. ”
"The quest cards are all in the cabinet, and if the trouble is solved, the resentment corresponding to the Yin will dissipate."
Bai Yu explained, saw that Meng Hui understood, and then said: "As soon as you call the name on the task card, they will take the initiative to drink soup." After drinking the soup, the Yin Soul will turn into an unconscious ordinary soul, and you can channel the soul into the river. ”
"You're busy first, I've got to hook the soul!" Bai Yu jumped on the bridge and waved at her with a smile, "The button next to the chair can talk to the boss, and if you don't understand, you can ask him." ”
Bai Yu disappeared into the thick fog, and Meng Hui stood on the riverbank for a while, suddenly remembering that she hadn't asked about the name of Hades!
"Forget it, I'll inquire later. Try boiling pot soup first! Meng Hui turned around and walked into the Lechuan Pavilion, stretched out his hands to hold the black cauldron floating in the air, lifted it up hard, turned around and scooped up most of the pot of water by the Yellow Spring.
"It's quite heavy...... Meng Hui snorted back to the pavilion, opened the medicine cabinet, took out the rhizomes, leaves, and petals of Manshu Sawa and Mandala Hua, and threw them into the pot in order. After that, without her operation, the black pot flew to its original position by itself and boiled it.
"Difu brand fairy pot, no electricity and fire, a good choice for life!" Meng Hui walked around the pot, and the originally dim water quickly became clear and transparent.
"It doesn't smell good, I don't know how it tastes." She took the spoon and bowl from the top of the cabinet, sat back in her chair, cleared her throat and shouted seriously, "Cui Yuying, come and report!" ”
The boat under the bridge quickly docked, and Cui Yuying cautiously floated to the pavilion and bowed. "The little woman has seen Master Meng Po."
"Hello, hello." Meng Hui scooped a bowl of soup and handed it to her, staring at her curiously and drinking it, wanting to ask what it tasted like, but felt that it did not fit the image of an "adult". "Finished drinking? Let's go, I'll send you on your way. ”
Cui Yuying had become dumbfounded, unconsciously followed Meng Hui to the river, and floated into the water in a daze to melt into it.

Cui Mansion, Wang looked at Master Cui, who was half-paralyzed on the bed, with crooked eyes and saliva hanging on the corner of his mouth, and his heart was very complicated. "If I knew this was the case, why would I bother so much to save you! Isn't this ghost torturing me, why don't you just swallow your breath! ”
Master Cui stared and opened his mouth, wanting to scold the Wang family with his majesty and anger, but he could only make a whimpering sound. As soon as he moved, his saliva flowed uncontrollably, and his head was wrapped in a circle of cotton cloth, which was oozing blood, apparently smashed by someone.
"You're still glaring at me? Obviously, that little beast caused trouble, and he was beaten to death in the alley, and he caused you to become like this...... What do I do in the future? And your good daughter, rushing to Wenfu to be a cheap concubine, shameless! Be virtuous with her dead ghost! ”
Master Cui's eyes were full of unwillingness, he didn't know how things could have turned out like this, a good son died, and the daughter who could be a wife became a concubine, not to mention, she was still the least on the stage!
"Lord Zheng's bride price has been brought back, and I am afraid that I will not be able to find a family willing to marry Yuzhen in the future." Wang thought that the silver was gone, and he felt weak. "Forget it, how many days can you live, as for Yuzhen, don't expect me to take care of her......"
The faces of Wang and Master Cui gradually blurred, and soon disappeared into virtual images.
Meng Hui was full of accomplishment, as if he had made a movie with a perfect ending.
"Thank you, boss, I'm going to get back to work." She released the round black button next to the chair, got up and walked to the cabinet, and found the princess's task card in the bottom drawer.
Deceased: Sun Yi'an (Princess Pingyang)
Gender: Female
Age at death: nineteen
Cause of death: Heart piercing with a sharp object
Reason for stay: Wish fulfilled
Solution: Yes, but wish
It's similar to Cui Yuying's quest card last time, and there is nothing else except basic information.
"I can only take one step at a time." Meng Hui sighed resignedly, suddenly remembered something, and pressed the call button again, "Boss, I don't know how to cross." ”
"When you have cultivation, you can reach your destination by smashing the task card." Hades explained, and the air helped her start the crossing.
Meng Hui felt that the task card in his hand was shattered and disappeared, and the familiar "Ding Dong" and electronic synthesis female voice sounded in his ears. "King Xian's Mansion, it's here."
