Chapter 291: On the banks of the Lethe River
Looking from a distance, the woman at the foot of Taozhi Mountain seems to have been dead for a long time, I am afraid that she has not moved for at least half a month, otherwise there will not be so many peach blossoms falling on her body, the record of Naihe is a very terrifying place, and no one dares to come, before it is developed, only Meng Po is here.
This person should be Meng Po, there are many legends about Meng Po in the world, but there are only three of the most credible, the first is that Meng Po is a god in the ancient god realm, and for some reason he went to the Nai River to guard, and then became a Yin Si god.
The second is that Meng Po is a Meng Jiangnu who cried down the Great Wall, and she came here to guard for some reason. The third is that Meng Po is a cultivator, and she still came here for unknown reasons.
These three legends do not know the reason, even in the later generations for thousands of years, there are no exact records and legends that know what Meng Po was waiting for on the side of the Nai River.
If you want to subdue Meng Po and figure out the reason why she is staying here, it is the best breakthrough, but there is no trace, and she has not yet gone down the mountain, so I instructed Liu Cheng, "When you go down the mountain for a while, you must not be rude, even if she wants to beat or scold, she can't fight back." ”
Liu Cheng nodded, "Clear." ”
Then I went down the mountain, and I didn't see any movement from her until I walked to the peach tree where she was lying, and when I got closer, Liu Cheng and I were a little stunned.
I thought that Meng Po was an old woman, but I didn't expect it to be so gorgeous, although there were no ribbons with the wind, I seemed to see the clothes fluttering. I didn't speak, but I saw the peach blossoms on the faces of people.
Even if it is a divine soul, I can't help but swallow my saliva, it seems that the three legends in the ancient books are not absolutely false, at least two of them are right, and two legends say that Meng Po is not a mother-in-law, but a woman who has captivated the country and the city.
She lay on her back, her eyes open and looked up, and even when Yoo Seung and I were next to her, she didn't blink, as if she was in a trance.
The face is like a peach blossom, **** sultry, I can see that Liu Cheng and I are a little distracted, and then bowed down, "Our senior brother came from the secluded capital and has seen Meng Po." ”
When we spoke, she didn't move, still staring at the peach blossom tree above, Liu Cheng and I saluted again, and there was still no response, I couldn't help but be surprised, I muttered, "Isn't it dead?" ”
As she was talking, a peach blossom happened to fall on her eyebrows, and she finally blinked, and Liu Cheng and I were sure that she was still alive, and bowed again, "Our senior brother came from Youdu and has seen Meng Po. ”
After blinking, she stared at the peach blossom tree again, as if she had taken the time to answer my words, "My name is not Meng Po, you have recognized the wrong person." ”
I was shocked to realize that Meng Po was just a name given to him by later generations, and she was really not called Meng Po during this period, so I thought about it and called out all the names in my memory, "Meng Jiangnu? ”
She didn't respond.
I said, "Peach blossoms? ”
She still didn't respond.
I really couldn't think of any other names for her, so I simply didn't tell her about her name, straightened up and stood next to her, looked at him covered in peach blossoms, and said with a smile, "I've been lying here for a few days, don't you want to get up and move your muscles?" ”
“……”
She didn't respond to me, and I smiled awkwardly, "It seems that you don't like to talk very much, but I'm just the opposite, I prefer to talk......"
Liu Cheng also looked at me embarrassedly on the side, but I had already told him that no matter whether this Meng Po beat or scolded us, we couldn't fight back, and it was worth it.
Although later generations don't know why Meng Po is guarding Naihe, they have also given countless guesses, among which the most guessed is that she is waiting for someone here, and the one who makes a woman wait so obsessively must be her sweetheart.
Only a sweetheart can make a woman so crazy, and then he said, "You're waiting for someone, right?" As he spoke, he sighed again, "Have you ever heard of the flowers on the other side?" Legend has it that it is a kind of flower that blooms on the bank of the Lechuan River, the flower blooms for a thousand years, falls for a thousand years, there is no leaf when there is a flower, there is no flower when there is a leaf, the flowers and leaves never meet, love is not cause and effect, fate is destined to life and death, some people can never wait. ”
Not only Taoism, but also the story of Meng Po has been recorded in Buddhist scriptures, and the Lechuan River is another name for the Nai River. There is this flower in the Buddhist scriptures, although it is not about Meng Po, but it must be related to her.
I don't know what kind of person she is, but if I can get her attention, or if I can get her to talk to us.
After I finished reading these words, she finally blinked, squinted over to look at me and Liu Cheng, put her eyes on me, and after looking at it for a long time, she said in a mournful tone, "Are you also waiting for someone?" ”
At this point, I understand the reason why Meng Po has been guarding the Nai River, she is waiting for someone.
I came to this era, it was full of deception, anyway, I didn't tell the truth, I just continued to lie, and my face was full of sorrow and gratitude, and then sat next to her, but I didn't dare to look at her, because it was so beautiful, I was afraid of being hooked, and after sitting down, I began to perform, looking into the distance, my face was full of vicissitudes, as if I was really a man with a story, and said, "Yes." ”
After that, I made up a story about 'I have long hair to my waist, when will the general return', and told it to her, and after I finished speaking, Meng Po looked at me, then sat up, leaned against the peach blossom tree, and asked, "Are you a woman?" ”
I almost choked and said, "It's not that I have long hair and waist-length, it's just that this story is very similar to my story, of course I'm the general." ”
She nodded, then smiled slightly, "I don't look like a woman." ”
Liu Cheng frowned when he listened to it, I am a Taoist priest, where is there anything to talk about, but he is also used to it, and he does not poke me, and listens silently.
People are a very strange race, and when they hear the tragic stories of others, there are only two kinds of psychology, one is called compassion and the other is called empathy. I told a story that was similar to Meng Po, or maybe related, which naturally aroused her empathy, and then thought of herself, so that there was something to talk about.
Therefore, the current people are still too simple, and it is too simple to deceive them by means in the future.
Seeing that it had aroused her empathy, I asked, "What about you, who are you waiting for?" ”
She shook her head, "I didn't wait for anyone, I just knew that I should have waited here, and the past has been forgotten." ”
I wondered, "I forgot it, why are you still waiting here?" ”
She looked at the small stream in front of her and was silent for a while before saying, "I don't know, I've been to many places, and only here, watching the peach blossoms bloom and fall is the most reassuring, it seems that I should wait here." ”
Even she didn't know why she was waiting, no wonder she would stay here until two thousand years later, two thousand years later, I don't know the result, now I definitely can't answer this question, this time I just came to win over the relationship with her, so I pulled Liu Cheng next to her, and said to her, "This is my little junior brother." Meng Po looked at Liu Cheng and nodded with a smile.
I said to Yoo Seung again, "Call my sister quickly." ”
Liu Cheng was stunned, "Huh? "Obviously, I don't understand what I mean, the most taboo thing for Taoist monks is to recognize relatives casually, after all, it is already in the dust, it is equivalent to having nothing to do with the mortal world, and then recognizing relatives is tantamount to adding concern to yourself, but Liu Cheng listened to me very much, although he was unwilling, and then bowed and said, "Sister Meng Po." ”
Meng Po looked at Liu Cheng's embarrassed appearance and said, "You call me Meng Po again, and you call me my sister again, am I my mother-in-law or sister?" ”
I was counting on Liu Cheng to say something nice, a woman is a person who pleases herself, of course, she called her sister to come nicely, but he didn't open up at all, and said, "Since my senior brother calls you Meng Po, I should also call you mother-in-law, I was rude just now." ”
If it weren't for the fact that he was my future master, I would have liked to hammer him on the ground, no wonder I haven't had a sweetheart for more than 2,000 years, so it's strange that I can find my daughter-in-law.
"Two stunned ones." I couldn't help but mutter.
Meng Po looked at Liu Cheng's appearance, as if she liked to see him embarrassed, she kept smiling, and then said, "What are you coming to me for?" I've been here for a long time, no one has ever looked for me, and no one has ever known I'm here, how did you know I was here? And you also call me Meng Po, did you know me before? ”
