Chapter 7: Goodbye Old Bag

"...... from the heart"

Ah Meng listened to Xu Feng's words, answered softly, and lowered his head,

"What Xu Feng thinks I am, how I am......"

"That's ...... JK girl? ”

“……”

Xu Feng listened to Ah Meng's words, and couldn't help but speak.

After the words were spoken, Ah Meng fell silent.

“…… In fact, the news of the underworld is very fast, and people pass away every day. ”

"Ahem......"

Ah Meng whispered, and Xu Feng coughed a little embarrassed.

“…… Is that okay? ”

At this time, Ah Meng turned down slightly and raised his head again.

Immediately after, the coarse linen clothes on Ah Meng's body were replaced by a Hanfu long skirt.

The fog on his face seemed to dissipate, allowing Xu Feng to see Ah Meng's face clearly.

It is the appearance of a delicate girl, the face is like clotted fat, white and flawless,

His eyes were as clear as water, so he raised his head, looked at Xu Feng, and stood quietly.

"Okay, that's great."

The face that the girl Ah Meng can see clearly is like the most beautiful girl in Xu Feng's heart,

It's like growing on his heart.

"Xu Feng likes it."

Ah Meng still responded softly in her voice, Xu Feng never turned her gaze, she kept looking at Xu Feng,

In the end, Xu Feng looked at Ah Meng's watery eyes, and turned his gaze a little embarrassed and quietly.

"That's fine...... Then I'll go upstairs and take a break. What about you, Amen? ”

"I don't have to rest, I'm going to boil a little more Meng Po soup. If there is a guest coming, I will call you again, Xu Feng. ”

Amon shook his head slightly.

Xu Feng nodded, walked upstairs, and paused again.

He didn't know how many rooms upstairs he had, and he didn't know which room he was going into.

“…… The one on the right is the room for Xu Feng to rest. ”

"Well, thank you."

Xu Feng thanked him again and walked upstairs.

Ah Meng didn't answer again, and lowered his head.

……

Stepping on the wooden staircase,

Although it looks dusty and a little old, fortunately the stairs seem to be quite sturdy.

At least Xu Feng stepped on it, and there was no creaking sound.

"Knock...... Knock ......"

When he arrived upstairs, Xu Feng paused.

On the second floor of the inn, there are only two closed doors that are also next to each other.

Xu Feng glanced at the door on the left, the door was closed, and he couldn't see the scene in the room clearly.

But since he lives in the room on the right, then the room on the left is Ameng's room?

After a pause, Xu Feng turned his head,

The door on the right was also closed, Xu Feng stretched out his hand and tried to push it first,

But it was pushed open at once, and it seemed that the door was hidden.

The door is open,

What Xu Feng saw was a room similar to ancient times,

There was a wooden bed, and a somewhat old desk was placed not far from the bed.

In the middle of the room, there is also a small round table, next to the table there are two round stools, and on the table is a complete set of teapots and tea sets.

On the other side, against the wall, are rows of bookshelves.

The shelves are full of books.

Xu Feng looked at it and walked in.

The whole room, there is no dust fluttering like downstairs,

On the contrary, it was cleaned up very neatly, there was no ash on the round table and desk, and the floor was clean.

There was even a clean layer of bedding on the wooden bed.

This is what Amon knew he was coming and packed up in advance?

Close the door,

Xu Feng walked to the round table in the middle of the room, and while sitting down, he took the teapot on the round table.

"Eh......"

There's still tea in the teapot?

But after taking the teacup and pouring a cup of water from the teapot,

Looking at the petals and leaves floating in the teacup, Xu Feng paused,

Sure enough, the inn has nothing to entertain except Meng Po soup.

Picking up the tea, Xu Feng took a sip directly.

I didn't expect that one day I would be able to drink Meng Po soup and have fun......

After taking a sip of water, although Xu Feng said that he went upstairs to rest,

But in fact, there is no sleepiness at all.

Sitting at the round table, I looked at the room again.

He paused at the closed window of the room, wondering if he could see the Lethe River behind the inn when the window was opened.

Turning his gaze again, Xu Feng looked at the books on the bookshelf against the wall.

It is said that I am also a civil servant in the underworld now, should I have two magic powers?

On this shelf, will there be a little bit of a classic book with magical powers?

Xu Feng stood up and walked to the bookshelf.

"The Analects of the Tao Te Ching......"

However, after looking up and down the left and right of the bookshelf, Xu Feng was disappointed.

There are no books on the shelves that record the supernatural powers of Taoism, but there are Taoist treasures.

It is mainly classics, scriptures, and some popular novels, and even a few modern online novels in the corners......

With the idea of not giving up, Xu Feng pulled out a scripture that seemed to be a Taoist,

Sit at the round table and flip through it.

But it's a pity that he didn't see what cultivation method and what magic magic power,

I only saw that in this scripture, there are expositions of some principles of heaven and earth, which are no different from ordinary scriptures.

But there are also some fairy stories mixed in it, which looks weird and interesting.

Looking down again, Xu Feng took the book and fell on the bed.

The book was spread out on his chest, and he couldn't sleep, his eyes were open, and he looked at the roof of the room, stunned.

I can't help but think about some messy things in my head,

Thinking back to the series of things that have happened since I entered the underworld.

From being pitted down to the underworld by the bull head and horse face, and then being played by Lao Bao for a while, he was fooled and brought here.

also walked around the world again.

It's overwhelming to see what happened in such a short period of time.

I didn't feel that I was busy before, but now that the surroundings were quiet, Xu Feng sincerely felt tired.

Closing his eyes again, Xu Feng lay on the bed on all fours, resting with his eyes closed.

……

"Xu Feng, have you rested?"

Xu Feng woke up and walked down the stairs again.

Like an uncertain prophet, Amon heard movement and walked out of the back kitchen.

In front of the long skirt of Hanfu, there is still an apron, but the apron disappears soon after leaving the kitchen.

Ah Meng was still wearing the same hanfu as before.

"Hmm...... After a good night's sleep, I felt a lot more relaxed. Meng, how long have I been asleep? ”

"Hmm...... About three hours. ”

"It's only been three hours......"

Xu Feng felt like his body was comfortable after sleeping all night, and he didn't feel sleepy at all after waking up.

Sure enough, now sleeping has become entertainment for him.

"Then I'll take this old cow over to the old bag now? I wonder if he's off work at this time? ”

"He's been there all the time, he's not off work."

Ah Meng answered softly.

made Xu Feng feel that the old bag was a bit miserable.

"Then I'll take the old cow over now?"

"Hmmm......"

"Old Niu, let's go, I'll take you to find a position, if people don't want you, I can only tie you to the edge of the bridge, you can just gnaw some flowers on the other side to barely live."

Xu Feng walked towards the old cow and gently patted the old cow's back.

On the edge of the back door of the old cow inn, most of them stood there quietly with their heads bowed, raising their heads from time to time and looking at the Nai He Bridge outside the back door of the inn.

Perhaps it thinks that if its master leaves there, it will come back from there.

At this moment, Xu Feng patted it, and it raised its head and looked at Xu Feng.

I don't know if I understood Xu Feng's words, so I followed Xu Feng towards the front door of the inn.

On the side, Ah Meng didn't speak, but silently walked to Xu Feng's side and followed him.

Xu Feng turned his head and looked at Ah Meng,

didn't refuse, and Ah Meng followed along.

Although Ah Meng told him that he could go anywhere in the underworld by going out from the front door of the inn,

But this first time, Xu Feng was really afraid that he would do the wrong place, and he would be embarrassed to come back to Manyu Capital City to find ghosts and ask for directions.

“…… Go find the old bag. ”

Ah Meng walked to Xu Feng's side and naturally took Xu Feng's hand.

Xu Feng paused, as if he was used to it, and let Ah Meng lead him.

Walking out of front of the inn with Lao Niu, Xu Feng whispered again,

Stepping out of the front door of the inn, he looked at the yellow mud road that winded forward under the dark fog in front of him.

Xu Feng already had some feelings in his mind,

As long as you take one more step, you can get to the place of the old bag.

Holding Ah Meng, taking the old cow, he took another step forward.

really

Immediately after that, he changed places, and Xu Feng saw the somewhat familiar palace group and the high-rise buildings in the distance.

……

Xu Feng and Ah Meng, with Lao Niu, stood in the position where Xu Feng first came here.

The plaque of 'Yama' was hung on the square in front of the palace.

It's just that at this moment, the ghosts in front of the palace are coming and going,

It was probably the oni in the uniform of the oni, hurrying back and forth in front of the palace, entering and leaving the palace from time to time, busy.

It doesn't seem to have the slightest cold appearance before.

Seeing Xu Feng's silence, he was silent for a while.

“…… Did you catch those things over there? ”

"Got it. Good guy, it's quite horizontal, and when I caught it, I came down horizontally, or I'm a ghost, and I'll really overturn. ”

“…… Eh, no, no, I'm tired, and I'm so good at this...... I have to take a leave of absence, I have to take the annual leave that I didn't take thirty years ago. ”

"Okay, don't dream, I just noticed, there's something bad over there, hurry up and bring someone up to catch it."

The ghosts who came and went, and the bull-headed horses and noodles were still at the meeting, and they said a few words briefly, and then hurriedly left.

As soon as Xu Feng appeared here, he heard a lot of voices.

However, it was also after the moment when Xu Feng and Ah Meng appeared,

In front of the entire noisy palace, these busy figures were all quiet in an instant.

All the ghost's eyes converged towards Xu Feng in an instant.

looked at Xu Feng, and then at Ah Meng, probably came back to his senses.

“…… I've seen the Venerable, I've seen the adults......"

After a pause, next to Xu Feng's nearest ghost, he lowered his body and saluted Xu Feng.

"Ah, you're welcome......"

Xu Feng was stunned, is the innkeeper still a good position?

So respected?

Xu Feng said politely, and then the ghost cha hurriedly said goodbye.

The other ghosts were similar, and after saluting Xu Feng, they hurriedly got busy again, either entering the palace or hurriedly walking towards the outside of the square.

"Ameng?"

Xu Feng couldn't help but turn his head and shouted out to Ah Meng with questions.

Ah Meng just turned his gaze and looked at the ghosts who had left the square in front of the palace,

Xu Feng also turned his head to look,

I saw the ghost who left this small square, and the figure disappeared in an instant.

The ghosts who came also appeared outside the palace complex, and then hurriedly walked over.

Looking at this scene,

Xu Feng looked at his position again,

It probably seemed to understand why as soon as they appeared just now, all the ghosts in the square stopped moving.

And they appeared directly in front of the palace, and the other ghosts all walked through the door.

“…… Ameng, do you know the road? Do you know where the old bag is? ”

"Let's go in here."

Amon pointed to the palace with "Yama" written on it.

Xu Feng and Ah Meng, with the old cow, entered the palace.

The main hall of the palace is empty,

Then he turned into the next room.

After knocking on the door and entering the room,

Xu Feng saw the old bag.

“…… Eh, Brother Xu is here, sit, sit. ”

“…… Alright, you guys go out first, don't you see any guests here? If it's not important enough, I'll talk about it later. ”

In the house, there are a lot of big and small ghosts,

Seeing Xu Feng and Ah Meng coming in, Lao Bao seemed to see an opportunity to touch the fish, and suddenly came to the spirit,

commanded the other ghosts to go out, and greeted Xu Feng and Ah Meng warmly.

“…… I've seen you, your majesty, and we'll come back to you later. ”

The ghosts bowed slightly to Xu Feng, and then left the room.

The room was quiet,

Xu Feng saw that the old bag that was originally greeted enthusiastically was like a salted fish that suddenly lost his dream.

The whole person collapsed directly on the seat, weak and motionless, just glanced at the old cow behind Xu Feng and Ah Meng,

"Huh...... Come and come, bring some gifts, and give me a cow. Okay, I'll find a cook to kill in a while, and the two of us brothers will eat beef hot pot......"

"You're very busy here, old bag...... But this old cow is not a gift......"

"It's not a gift, I'm still worried about the taste of beef, it just so happens that this cow has arrived in the underworld, so I will lose my body as soon as possible and reincarnate as soon as possible."

Lao Bao didn't sound like a gift, so he smashed his mouth, his face was quite regretful, and he moved on the stool and sat up.

"It's busy, it's busy with life and death, can we not be busy here? If you die more, you have to queue up. ”

"The underworld can't be busy, otherwise it wouldn't let you come down early."

"So busy?"

"Recently, the world has changed greatly, the underworld has been comfortable for hundreds of years, and I can't adapt to it when I come here suddenly."

"Heaven and earth have changed?"

It seemed that Lao Bao was deliberately telling him something, and Xu Feng followed Lao Bao's words and continued to ask.

"Well, do you know the revival of Reiki......"

“…… I don't really know. ”

"It's about the same as that, the aura is revived. Originally, for hundreds of years, the underworld only needed to be responsible for the life and death cycle of some ordinary people, but now that the aura has recovered, there are still more demons and monsters to catch. In addition, they have been comfortable for hundreds of years, and some ghosts are almost used to being scattered, so they can't be busy. I said that there is no competition, and it is better to let these ghosts roll up in order to guide their enthusiasm...... Well, with the addition of performance appraisals recently, things are getting better. ”

"In the past few hundred years, many bigwigs in the underworld have been reincarnated, and now they have to be found back quickly. Otherwise, the current ghost will have to die of busyness. ”

"Reincarnation? Why? ”

"Experience, experience, practice, or simply get tired of it. Who knows what they think. ”

"Okay, don't ask, the most important thing for you now is to pick up those obsessive souls who went to the inn, practice by the way, and restore your cultivation as soon as possible."

Lao Bao's words blocked the question that Xu Feng wanted to continue asking.

"What's the matter with coming to me right now? You won't really be looking for me to eat beef hot pot. ”

Lao Bao asked again, his eyes already looking at the old cow behind Xu Feng.

"This old cow is an obsession left by a guest from the inn, and it was brought back from the world. Now the guest has walked across the bridge and reincarnated. ”

"There is only this old cow left, and there is nowhere to put it."

Xu Feng explained.

"Guests so soon?"

Lao Bao sat up straight, and then looked at the old cow,

"So, you're really looking for me to eat beef hot pot?"

“……”

If you have nowhere to put it, you can't eat it directly...... Is this appropriate?

Seeing that Lao Bao was a little excited and ready to move, Xu Feng was silent.

"Alright, alright...... You say, what are you going to do, do you need my help? ”

"Didn't I see a minotaur before? So can you just give it a little bit of a glow and be a ghost? ”

"Arrange a position, huh? It's okay, the bull head is too comfortable, and there is a lack of competition, so it's just right to arrange an opponent for him to make him nervous......"

“……”

"But if it's a trivial matter, you can do it yourself."

"How?"

Xu Feng was a little confused, if he knew how to ignite this old cow, he wouldn't have come here.

"You can find a book of scriptures, read it again, and open up wisdom, and that's it."

"Alright, alright...... I've got a book here, read it. ”

As soon as Lao Bao flipped through it, he had an extra scripture book in his hand.

Xu Feng took it and looked at it, even if it was this "Zhou Yi", he couldn't see any magic.

The only special thing may be that it is a little long, and the binding thread is a little off.

"Just read it here. I'll listen to it too. ”

Xu Feng was completely in a state of confusion and opened "Zhou Yi".

looked at Ah Meng next to him, and saw that Ah Meng did not speak or speak, and seemed to agree with Lao Bao's words.

I sorted out my mood and tried to read it.

"Dry: Yuan Henry Zhen"

"Ninth Month: Don't Use ...... for Hidden Dragons"

Xu Feng recited the content of "Zhou Yi", and his mind gradually calmed down.

Listening to Xu Feng's chanting,

The old cow, who had been keeping his head down, raised his head at this time and kept looking at Xu Feng, who was reciting scriptures.

Ah Meng next to him looked at Xu Feng's side face, and the old bag behind the long table next to him raised his head and glanced at Xu Feng, holding his forehead, squinting his eyes, and seemed to rest with the sound of Xu Feng's scripture recitation.

Xu Feng's chanting voice resounded in this room with a special rhythm,

Xu Feng himself recited this "Zhou Yi", and he also had some indescribable feelings,

I just feel that I feel like I understand a little bit when I read it like this...... Something touching.

Zhou Yi is a hexagram book...... Xu Feng thought about it, as if he would also be able to calculate Zhou Yi.

"Kun: Wonhyung. The chastity of the horse. A gentleman has something to do......"

Xu Feng calmed down, but immersed himself in this recitation and experience.

The room, getting quieter,

Only Xu Feng's voice reciting scriptures sounded,

Until Xu Feng finished reading it all over, and then read it from the beginning

“…… Tianxingjian, a gentleman strives for self-improvement. ”

The old cow who raised his head, looked at Xu Feng, and listened to the recitation of the scriptures, had a change.

The old cow bent his knees a little and bent his two hind legs, and knelt on the ground.

Bowing his head towards Xu Feng, followed closely, the old cow began to gradually transform,

The body has taken on a human form, and the head still retains the appearance of a bull's head.

"Thank you, Lord for your kindness."

The old cow bowed his head and said gratefully.

Xu Feng stopped chanting the scriptures.

The old bag next to him also opened his eyes and looked at the old cow who was kneeling on the ground and had been transformed.

Tut-tut, I don't know what to think.
