In the fifth chapter, all living beings are suffering, and immortals are no exception
Ruoli and the Jade King looked at themselves. "I have nothing on me but this dress. "The Jade King wilted, and he knew that he had some treasures on his body before drinking the medicine, but he didn't know what to bring to the underworld.
"I'm full of jewels, but I'm all phantoms, and I can't bring them into the underworld. Ruoli also thinks that there is nothing to exchange.
"Not necessarily, I don't look like an illusion when I look at the bead around your neck. Jinzhu said. For some reason, from the moment she saw the bead, Jinzhu felt a very intimate feeling.
Ruoli took down the beads, and it was really not a phantom. "Is this okay, mother-in-law. I don't know where this bead came from or what it is, only that my father captured it from the barbarians. I didn't know what it did, but I thought it looked good, so I made it into a necklace. ”
"I don't look like a mortal thing, but I can barely do it. Isn't it, Meng Po?" Jin Zhu was afraid that Meng Po would hesitate and refuse this thing. Jinzhu, who has no memory, rarely sees something and feels kind, I think I should have seen it, or it was related to him.
Meng Po looked at Jinzhu and followed his words. "Well, this bead is okay, barely counted. What about you, little white face, what can I change?"
The Jade King thought for a while, "My flesh and blood, my soul, as long as my mother-in-law thinks it's okay, I can take it." ”
"You're a ruthless character, and you can even throw away your own flesh and soul. But without flesh and blood, you can only collapse on the bed. Without a soul, you will go back like a fool. Jinzhu couldn't help but remind.
"It doesn't matter, as long as you can get Ruoli back, it doesn't matter if it's so. "The Jade King has a calm and breezy appearance.
"You're a rare infatuation. Even if you forget about your flesh and blood, it's useless for your soul to take it. Cut half of your heart to me. Meng Po said. "You must know that with only half of your heart, not only is your health extremely poor, but every time the moon is full, you have to endure the pain of cutting out your heart, just like today, and there is no way to relieve it. You can't choose to end your life, except that your longevity is exhausted, and black and white impermanence comes to recruit you, you can no longer come to the underworld, you can't enter reincarnation, you can only wander on the Huangquan Road, and become a lonely ghost. ”
"Okay, I'm not afraid, I'll change. "The Jade King is as firm as ever.
"Don't, don't. I'm not going back, mother-in-law. I'll give you this bead too, and I'm not going back. At this time, Ruoli was already crying.
"Silly girl, don't worry about me, as long as you can go back, I can endure anything. The Jade King gently wiped away the tears from Ruoli's face.
"No, I beg you. I'm not going back, I'm not revenge. Ruoli pleaded.
"But I don't want to drink the soup of forgetting worries, I don't want to forget you, I want to do it again with you. The Jade King had a smile in his eyes, and small bits of light flickered in his eyes.
"If you're really thinking about it, eat this. Meng Po handed over a pill. Ignoring Ruoli's resistance, the Jade King swallowed it without hesitation. After a while, the Jade King curled up and squatted down, beads of sweat like rolling beans, constantly falling, and his clothes were wrapped wet as if they had just been washed with water.
"You're a great one, and you don't say a word. Now you still have time to regret it, if you are reincarnated, I will relieve your pain. If I still insist, I'm going to start cutting my heart, and the pain will be even harder than it is now. Meng Po said.
"It's okay, I'm not afraid. The Jade King replied weakly.
"Look, it's much more touching than what you can say, so you're a good person to the end, help him. Don't die of pain before you go back. Jinzhu was terrified.
"Ruoli, are you willing to share some of the pain for him?" Meng Po looked at Ruoli.
"Yes, yes, mother-in-law. Even if it all passed on to me. Ruoli held the Jade King in his arms. The Jade King wanted to stop it, but at this time, he was so hurt that he had no strength.
"In that case, I won't really let him die of pain. I see that your skin is very good, and you are willing to use it to offset some of the pain of the Jade King. ”
As soon as Meng Po finished speaking, the Jade King held back the pain and held Ruoli's hand tremblingly. "Appearance is too important for my daughter's family, take mine in exchange, don't hurt yourself. ”
"What do I want you to do with the skin of a big man?" Meng Po blocked the Jade King to death with a word. "If you want, eat this herb. ”
After eating the herbs, the Jade King suddenly felt that he felt a lot, but he didn't seem to react at all. Ruoli was about to ask what was going on, when she saw Meng Po take out a bamboo raft the size of a palm from a bag, and two hats that seemed to be made of paper.
"I admire the affectionate people the most, and I hope you can get out smoothly. Take these two things. I don't remember who gave me this raft, but I still know what it does. When it encounters water, it grows larger, and the demonic power attached to it will take you out of the Lechuan River. This hat can help you block the wind, and it can also hide your breath from being eaten by other lonely souls and wild ghosts, and walk safely through Huangquan Road. Meng Po put the thing in the hands of the two of them and explained the use and usage!
"Thank you, mother-in-law!" the two cried with joy.
"Remember, this thing has been in the underworld for a long time, and the yin qi is too heavy, so when you go back, return it immediately! If it is placed in the yang world for too long, it will not only cause you trouble, but even cause chaos in the world. Meng Po confessed.
"But, mother-in-law, how can I give it back to you?" the two were puzzled.
"Take a yellow paper wrap, stick these two talismans on it, and burn them together. ”
After taking the rune paper, the Jade King and Ruoli thanked Meng Po and Jinzhu, and then helped each other and left. Looking at the bamboo raft that disappeared from sight, Jinzhu sighed with emotion: "Why do you bother to deceive them, what they eat is just love poison." ”
"There's no way around it, it's the ninth, these two haven't come together yet, it's too miserable. If you don't help them, you have to continue to be reincarnated as a human being. Meng Po, who knew the identities of the two, couldn't help but sigh.
"You're cheating, aren't you afraid that the one in the sky will know?" Jinzhu was curious.
"Then what's the fear, he can't control the underworld, everything here is the final say of the Dijun. And I also acted according to the rules and did not cross the line. Meng Po argued.
"Yes, yes, you are the most disciplined, as if you didn't have the poison of love. The two who went back again, with the protection of your wooden boat, the Lethe River can't wash away the memories of the two. Coupled with the fetters of love and poison, this life can be a positive result no matter what. Jinzhu drank the last mouthful of soup in the bowl.
"I can't see the heavenly set the most, there is too much red tape, and I can't be free at all. And at that time, he only said that no gods could intervene, and he didn't say that the underworld could not trade, so it was not cheating. Meng Po also put away the soup bowl that had been drunk.
"All living beings are suffering, and immortals are no exception!" Jinzhu sighed.
"Yes! There is no such thing as a last resort in this world. But I admire the nature of the goddess, dare to love and hate. Although I have experienced so many lifetimes of suffering, I am still honest and cute. ”
"The love between her and Yuqing is indeed touching and admirable. Although I have experienced eight lifetimes of love, fortunately, as long as I can survive this life, I can return to my place, and the light energy is together. Jinzhu said while closing the stall.
