Chapter 7, Picture of the Goddess

It didn't take long for the bead to be worn on Jinzhu's body, and it was completely integrated into Jinzhu's body. At the same time, Jinzhu and Meng Po also successfully adapt to their new identities, female bullies and little slaves.

"Hey, I said you hurry up, the sun is all on your ass. Meng Po saw Jinzhu lying there lazily and pretending to be a corpse.

"God chatters, there is no sunlight in this underworld all year round, if it weren't for the fire of the underworld, the black rumbling, even you can't see whether you are a man or a woman, where does the sun come from to dry your buttocks. Jinzhu felt that this Meng Po was so poisoned by the words and books that she always learned from those human sayings.

"That's because you're blind, so you can't see men and women clearly. Hurry up, set up the stall, it's time for me to go to work. Meng Po urged.

"What's the hurry? I suspect that the Lord of the Land is deliberately biased in favor of you, so why do you have so little soul here. Jinzhu always thought that this Meng Po must be related to Dijun, otherwise how could she get this idle errand

"Isn't this the world peaceful, there was a time when there were many wars in the world?" Meng Po explained.

"Come on, you have a lot of names, didn't you listen to the black and white impermanence of No. 5? The other Meng Po are so busy that they don't have time to rest, so you can still commute to and from work on time and have a beauty sleep. Jinzhu didn't believe Meng Po's statement at all.

"That's not that Lord Dijun is loving and kind to the elderly, take pity on my old bones, and can't help tossing. At this time, Meng Po really patted the fart of the earthly monarch.

"Hey, why didn't you say that you were an old bone when you hit me, that strength can be called a tiger. Besides, the Meng Po on the bridge next to her had lost all her teeth, and she didn't see any less work. Thinking of being oppressed by Meng Po recently, Jinzhu's teeth itched.

"That's because I'm well-maintained, so I look younger than her. "Meng Po can always find reasons to refute Jinzhu.

"Hello truth, I am speechless. "For Meng Po's crooked reasoning, Jinzhu is not surprised.

"Don't be poor, the captain is here. Meng Po urged again.

Jinzhu quickly set up the stall and rushed to the shore before the captain docked. "Hey, it's two people who opened today, and it's off to a good start. ”

"Who's family has lost two people all of a sudden, and they have to die of sadness, do you have any sympathy?" Meng Po made a gesture and slapped Jinzhu on the head.

Compassion? Jinzhu thought about it carefully, what kind of thing was the heart, he couldn't feel it. "Life and death are up to the sky, not yourself. Besides, early death and early superbirth. ”

"I finally know how you got to the underworld. Meng Po seemed to have grasped the truth.

"How did you get here?" Jinzhu wondered.

"The mouth owes. Meng Po gave Jinzhu a blank look.

"You are always on the path of searching for the truth, but you cannot see the truth. "Jinzhu can't say anything good about Meng Po, and she's used to it.

As he spoke, two people came out of the boat, a man and a woman, and one of their hands was tied together. Up and down, wet, looking like drowned.

"I think this is a love story that will last to the death. "Meng Po's gossip energy is here again.

"Well, nine times out of ten. Hey, you forgot to take out the melon seeds. Jinzhu reminded.

"I think your real body is a starling. Meng Po said while holding the melon seeds.

"How do you say this?" Jinzhu didn't keep up with Meng Po's thinking jump, I don't know why she got on the starling brother again.

"I talk a lot and love to knock melon seeds. Meng Po took out a plate of melon seeds and handed them to Jinzhu.

"Life should be full of rituals, understand it or not, old lady. Jinzhu didn't care. As is customary, he scooped the first bowl of soup to himself, although he couldn't taste what it tasted like. But just like tasting tea, it is an artistic conception.

"Mother-in-law, this is the Nai He Bridge? Is there a soup in this pot that is boiling?" the man asked Meng Po politely.

"Boy, you know that's quite a lot!" Meng Po gave the other party a positive answer.

"Mother-in-law praised, Xiaosheng loves to read books since he was a child, and he has seen some miscellaneous things, so he has seen some of them in books. Originally, it was just a pastime, but I didn't expect it to be true. The young man was praised by Meng Po and was a little embarrassed.

"Which bastard is so bold as to dare to divulge the secrets of the underworld?" The previous book "I want to be a bully in the underworld" did not sell well, and he had to make persistent efforts.

"It's just some words and the like, occasionally involved, and it shouldn't be considered a leak. The young man explained.

"What do you call it, two?" Meng Po also knew that business was important at this time, so she no longer bothered with that scribbling bastard.

"Xiaosheng is like the wind, this is my fiancΓ©e, Lu Yi. The green girl stood aside, even if she was soaked, she couldn't hide her rich temperament.

"Good mother-in-law, good big brother. Lu Yi also said hello generously.

"Come, come, there's a stove here, and the clothes will be dry in a while. Jinzhu gave the two of them a long stool. "I see that your hands have been tied together, but for some reason. ”

Speaking of this, the green girl couldn't help but cry. "It's all me who has tired Brother Feng, he originally had a great future, but he was ruined by me. ”

"I don't blame you, but those people are so greedy that your family has suffered this catastrophe. Rufeng watched the beauty cry and hurriedly comforted her.

"Did you drown?" Jinzhu wondered.

"Almost, we were chased and drowned by jumping into the river. It's all to blame that I jumped off without picking a good place and hit a stone, so that Yimei was also dragged down. If she were alone, with her watery nature, she would be safe. "Annoyed by the wind.

"The cliff is so high, and the water is so deep, how can you see it clearly. It's not your fault, it's me who dragged you down. If you hadn't been working with me to protect this painting, it wouldn't have been like this. "Lu Yi knows that they should die here, and it is no wonder that it is like the wind.

Jinzhu looked at the huge green bag on Rufeng's forehead, which was particularly conspicuous on the slightly pale face. I guess I fell when I jumped.

"Painting, is this a story of murder and treasure grabbing?" Meng Po asked.

"Let's just say that everything was caused by the picture of the goddess in my father-in-law's house. Rufeng explained.

"A painting can also be to the point of making money and killing people?" Jinzhu sighed a little, these people are too frustrated.

"Needless to say, it must be some kind of hidden treasure, or a peerless martial arts cheat or something like that. Meng Po automatically brought the story of the two into the martial arts book.

"My mother-in-law is not entirely right, this painting in our house has no other mysteries except that it is not afraid of fire and rain. At least in the 100 years or so that our family has been in the house, no one has discovered any other secrets. Green Yi said.

"Such an object is considered a treasure in the world. But why is it your family's ancestor?" Meng Po was puzzled.

"It is said that our ancestors relied on this painting to make their fortune. This story has been passed down from generation to generation, and I have only heard about it. Green Yi told her everything she knew.

"It was about a hundred years ago, and it is not clear where the ancestors of the painting came from. The painting was originally placed in a box containing belongings. The ancestor's house was burned, and everything was burned, but the box containing this painting showed no trace of burning. Our ancestors relied on the remaining property in the box to start a new business, and only then did we have the prosperity of our family today. It is because this painting has always been hung in the ancestral hall to enjoy incense with the dead ancestors. ”

"Guilty of it, this kind of thing must have some people's eyes, and it is deserved to be calamized. Meng Po knew that the painting was equivalent to planting the cause, and the destruction of the whole family was the inevitable result.

"As the biggest imperial merchant in the Yun Kingdom, we have been subjected to a lot of jealousy and conspiracy, and with our father's maneuvering, there is no danger. We have always kept the secret of painting very well and never mentioned it to the public. It's just that I didn't expect that when my uncle was drinking with others, he would tell others a story about this painting. Lu Yi was very angry at his uncle's actions, if it weren't for him, the entire family would not have been wiped out.

"The speaker has no intention, but the listener has the intention, for fear that disaster will come from the mouth. Jinzhu instantly remembered the stories of drinking and mistaking things in the book, and after a few mouthfuls of yellow soup, there was no door on his mouth, and he said everything.

"In order to bring down our family and thus divide the profits, those people, according to my uncle's words, rumored that this painting has a hidden mystery, and whoever gets it will get rich. For a while, it caused many parties to snatch. For the sake of the family's safety, my father used my brother as bait, but in fact secretly ordered me to send this painting to my little uncle, who was an official in Kyoto, and then find an opportunity to present it to the emperor. ”

"It's a good idea, as long as the emperor gets the painting, he will definitely reward it lavishly. The louder the noise, the more respite your family has. Jinzhu analyzed.

"That's what my father-in-law is going to do. After all, the rumors will soon reach the ears of the emperor, and as an imperial businessman, only by taking the initiative to hand in can he obtain the emperor's blessing. But the painting didn't arrive, and we had an accident. After getting the painting, the two of us traveled lightly, but we were still surrounded by the edge of the Li River, and finally ended up like this. In order to prevent being washed away in the water, we tied our hands together, but we didn't expect to hurt Midori because of this. ”

Rufeng regretted that he didn't think it through at the time, and he didn't expect that it would drag down Lu Yi.

"How many times have you said it, Brother Feng, it's not your fault. You are like a family, but you are the only seedling, but I am implicated, and it is gone. Lu Yi thought of Rufeng's parents, and was even more sad.

"It is useless for you to condemn yourselves. Drink the soup and reincarnate it. Meng Po handed each of them a bowl of soup.

"Mother-in-law, I once read in a book that said that you can make a trade here in exchange for what you want, is it true?" asked Rufeng.

"What book dares to write like this?" Meng Po jumped a little, who had leaked so many secrets of this underworld.

"I remember it like it was called 'I Think of the Overlord of the Prefecture'. Rufeng saw the title of the book at that time, and glanced at it curiously, but he didn't expect the content to be quite exciting.

"Who is so tasteless, and the title of the book is so straightforward. Jinzhu ridiculed the author's cultural shallowness. On the other hand, Lord Dijun was very unhappy, and for some reason his ears were always burning in a panic today. "I'm curious if I can borrow that picture of the goddess and let me look at it. ”

"Yes, big brother. After saying that, Midori took out a small box from his cuff, took out the contents inside, and unfolded it.

Both Jinzhu and Meng Po's attention was instantly grabbed by it. Jinzhu, who never knew what his heartbeat was, was like a drum in his chest at this time. And Meng Po's wrinkled face was already mottled with tears.
