Chapter 37: Mengo

"Konstantin? The man who can go in and out of hell freely, isn't he Western? How can he have a Chinese name?"

Fan Wu looked at Zhong Kui with a look of disbelief, but the fat man didn't make a sound, he felt that the name Meng Ge was a little impressive, as if he had heard it somewhere, but his thinking expression was a little dumbfounded, and it looked as if he wasn't listening.

"What kind of expression do you have, suspecting me of talking nonsense?"

Seeing the attitude of the two, Zhong Kui showed signs of madness again, and Fan Wu hurriedly touched the fat man with his elbow.

"No, no, how dare you doubt Miss Zhong Kui's words, you continue, we listen carefully. ”

"Hmph, it's you who missed a good opportunity and it's not me. ”

"Don't, Miss Zhong Kui, you have a lot, forgive us two villains who don't understand the rules, please continue. ”

"It's pretty much the same, okay, this Wei Yuan's name is Meng Ge, and he is the adopted son of Meng Po..."

"Meng Po? That Meng Po of Meng Po Tang? She's Konstantin's mother?"

"You still don't let people talk, don't interject!"

"Good, good, you say. ”

"Okay, go on, alas? Where did you just go? Yes, he's the son of Meng Po......

According to Zhong Kui, it turns out that Konstantin in the eyes of Westerners, formerly known as Meng Ge, is the righteous son of Meng Po, and has been helping his mother distribute Meng Po soup to ghosts who are reincarnated next to Wangxiang Stone.

Because of a mistake that caused six chaos, he was relegated to the Lechuan River by the underworld, which was not a chore, but he left a knot in his heart because of his mother's impartial attitude towards this matter.

Later, he was found and stopped by his mother because he assisted a favorite female ghost to smuggle into Lethe, and immediately sent the female ghost to reincarnate, and he left the West in a fit of anger.

Later, I heard that a temple of guidance was established in the West, under the pseudonym Constantine, and regularly led people from the yang world to hell to play.

This move seriously disrupted the balance between the two worlds, so he was hunted down by the two worlds of yin and yang in the west, and then disappeared, and it was said that he reappeared in the world some time ago.

Meng Po entrusted her old friend Zhong Kui to find him, so Zhong Kui tracked him all the way here.

After listening to what Zhong Kui said, the fat man finally remembered that the master had mentioned that Meng Ge was a real person when he introduced Meng Po, one of the important people in the underworld.

Fan Wu heard about these relationships for the first time, like listening to a book from heaven, but he also knew that Zhong Kui didn't need to lie about this matter, and seeing the fat man's reaction confirmed her credibility even more, but he still had a little doubt in his heart.

"Zhong Kui, you said that Meng Po has not been looking for her for so many years, why do you want to find her son back at this time? Is there any special reason? ”

"How do I know, every time my grandfather asks me to do something, he basically won't explain the reason, just like the last time he killed you, he didn't say the reason. ”

After speaking, Zhong Kui also looked at Fan Wu and pursed his lips and snickered.

Fan Wu was mentioned as sad, and the helpless feeling of being unhappy and helpless came to his heart, and he didn't want to continue to talk about this with her anymore, so he quickly changed the topic.

"Just now you said that the two of us would miss the opportunity, what is the opportunity?"

"An opportunity to improve your training, Mongo's Guiding Temple is just a tool for ordinary people to go to hell to play, and it is a rare door of trial for you. ”

"You mean we can improve our strength by luring the temple to Hell to kill ghosts?"

"yes, you're getting smarter. ”

The fat man listened to the conversation between the two and regretted it.

"Brother Wu, I knew that I had promised Meng Ge just now, but now that he is gone, he wasted this opportunity to improve. ”

"Who knew he was real, we all thought he was talking nonsense. ”

Missing this good opportunity, Fan Wu also felt a pity.

Zhong Kui looked at the two of them and smiled.

"You can rest assured, I heard that Constantine has a rule for taking humans to hell, if the chosen person does not go, he will come back again a day later to make sure, and then go to the next one. ”

"Haha, that's great!"

Hearing that there would be another chance, the fat man laughed happily, but Fan Wu was nervous, worried, and thought:

The good things in the past were directly entrusted by others, and as I doubted them, the good things now seemed to come full circle and then sent to my eyes. ’

If you miss it, someone will immediately run out and tell you that it's a great thing, it doesn't matter if you miss it, there's another chance. ’

"I wonder if tomorrow if I refuse, will there be a third chance?" I hope it's my own heart, maybe it's really just a coincidence, hehe!

The fat man's reaction was normal, but Fan Wu's silence surprised Zhong Kui.

"Fan Wu, you don't want to go?"

"Oh, yes, but let's talk about it then, Meng Ge seems to be a little confused now, and I don't know if he will come tomorrow. ”

The fat man didn't have so many worries about Fan Wu, and he knew that he had the opportunity to go to hell to cultivate, so he was a little excited.

"Brother Wu, let's go back quickly, hurry up and get some sleep, we have to go buy some food and supplies tomorrow." ”

Since there is something to do tomorrow, Fan Wu doesn't want to continue to eat the northwest wind here, so after consulting Zhong Kui's wishes, he drove the two back to the hotel to rest.

During this period, Fan Wu told Zhong Kui about the abnormality of the people here and asked her if she knew what had happened, Zhong Kui said that it was the first time she had encountered this situation, and she had to go back to consult her grandfather to see if he knew about the old man.

Even Zhong Kui didn't know about this, so Fan Wu had no choice but to give up, open an extra room for Zhong Kui, and go back to rest.

The next night, the three of them came to the place where they had parked last night before midnight, and saw that the ruins had indeed reappeared in the clearing, but they did not see Mengo.

The fat man also went around the ruins and found nothing, so the three of them had to wait in place.

As soon as midnight passed, Meng Ge suddenly appeared at the entrance of the ruins, standing there looking straight at this side as he had done last night.

The two were about to get out of the car, but Zhong Kui stretched out his hand to stop them.

"Wait a minute, I'll go talk to him. ”

After saying that, she got out of the car and walked to Meng Ge to talk to him, and the two waited in the car for half an hour before they saw Zhong Kui walking back.

"Alright, I can go back after I finish the mission, and by the way, I told him that you can stay in hell for a month, and he will pick you up after a month. ”

"A month? It's great, we can have several times more time to improve our strength, but we have only prepared food for ten days or so. ”

In addition to improving strength, the first thing that comes to the fat man's mind is the problem of eating.

"Don't worry, there are many things you can eat in hell, it depends on whether you dare to eat them or not. ”

"As long as I can eat, there is nothing I dare not eat, since you don't say it earlier, we are still worried about this problem. ”

Zhong Kui grinned: "You didn't ask! Okay, I'm leaving, good luck to you! Fan Wu should remember the one-year appointment." ”

After speaking, he disappeared directly on the spot, and the traces lingered.

"Brother Wu, what kind of exercise is this? Why does it look even worse than the master's shrinkage into inches. ”

"You don't know, I won't know, leave him alone, let's go. ”

The two of them got out of the car and walked to the ruins, the whole process was exactly the same as last night, Meng Ge took them inside and turned around and asked where to go?

"Knife Mountain Hell!"

The two of them had already discussed it last night, and the first one had to go to see one of the two most famous hells, so they answered in unison.

"Good!"

After Meng Ge finished saying a good word, his vision changed, and the cities, streets, and ruins in reality all fell backwards, and then a black world rushed in front of him, showing in the eyes of Fan Wu and the others.

When the alternating scene stabilized, what they saw was a desolate gray world, and to the left of the two of them was a wide river, winding into the distance, the river was black, and the current was not fast.

As far as the eye could see, there were no boats on the surface of the slow-flowing river, and the only one was a sampan boat moored not far in front of the three men.

Following Menggo to the sampan, he motioned for the two to sit down in silence, and then rocked the boat, and the boat left the shore and went down the river.

The two of them sat quietly on the boat, a little impatient at first, but slowly immersed in the sea of flowers on both sides of the strait and couldn't extricate themselves, how can they remember this little thing of impatience.

What they had seen on the shore just now was a plain, and there was no scenery at all, but when the boat set off from the shore, the two of them saw a beautiful red flower appear on both sides of the river.

The flowers are as tall as an adult's forearms, and the petals are so long that the width of a person's open palm suddenly folds upward, holding the stamens on them, and looks like an umbrella blown by a strong wind.

But if you count the flower stems, it looks like a human arm sticking out of the dirt, and then opening half of the bright red bloody palm upwards to grasp something.

One, two, four, eight...... Slowly, the shore on both sides is covered with this kind of red flowers, as far as the eye can see, and it feels like adding infinite vitality to this gray world in disguise.

Although the two of them had clearly seen that the stamen in the middle was a small skull when the boat was still relatively close to the shore, for some reason, they did not feel frightened and afraid, but slowly immersed and lost in the beautiful sea of flowers without realizing it.

Meng Ge did not wake them up, and kept concentrating on rocking the boat, and after about two or three hours of walking, he took out a small cymbal that looked like a rhythm in the opera, and tapped it gently.

"Ding!"

Fan Wu and the others woke up slowly, saw the vision clearly, and instantly broke out in a cold sweat.

"You don't need to blame yourself and be afraid, the first time you see the sea of Manju Sawa flowers, no one can stay awake. ”

"Manju Sawa is no wonder of the other side of the flower. ”

"Xiucai, do you know this flower?"

The fat man told Fan Wu that he had heard the master say that the flower on the other side is also known as the flower of death, and it can be used to evoke the memory of the past life, but it is extremely poisonous, and after the memory is finished, it is the time of death.

Moreover, after death, the soul will be sucked away by flowers, and it cannot be reincarnated, and according to legend, it only blooms by the Lethe River, which is rare to see in the world.

"Senior Meng, this is the Lechuan River, right?"

"Yes, there's the Nai Ho Bridge ahead. ”

The two of them looked up and saw that there was a long stone bridge across the banks of the Lechuan River in the distance in front of them, and as the boat approached, they saw countless ghosts on the bridge crossing the bridge in a long line from left to right.

Most of the ghosts are looking back three times at a time, as if they have left some terrible treasure behind them and want to take a few more looks.

However, behind them is just a long queue that does not know where to extend and there is no end in sight, and there will be no parents, lovers and precious children they care about......

Slowly, I followed the team across the Nai He Bridge, stepped on a huge stone platform on the right bank, reluctantly glanced at the opposite bank again, and finally took a bowl of bitter soup under the supervision of the ghost, drank it with tears, and stepped on the stone road behind the Wangxiang Platform to be reincarnated.

Fan Wu didn't know why an idea suddenly popped up in his heart, looking at the Wangxiang Terrace on the right, thinking that Meng Ge might not have gone anywhere all these years, he had been under the bridge, in the river, and on the boat watching his mother Meng Po boiling year after year, and distributing Meng Po soup day after day to make people forget all kinds of Meng Po soup in the past.

Fan Wu had a lot of thoughts and a lot of emotion, but Meng Ge didn't stop for a moment, urging the boat to speed up from under the bridge and go down the river in an instant, slowly moving away from Wangxiangtai, until even the Nai He Bridge was no longer visible, and then returned to its original speed.

After another half hour or so, the boat turned into a water inlet, drove a few hundred meters, and then came to a stop.

"The prison of the knife is here, you can get off the boat from here, follow the path to the end, and I will come back here to pick you up in a month, just wait three days, that's all. ”

The two of them disembarked from the boat, thanked Meng Ge, and watched the boat leave.

Before the boat was completely out of sight, the two of them couldn't wait to turn around and look at the path in front of them, clapped their hands excitedly, and entered along the road.

"Let's go to Daoshan Mountain!"
