Chapter 234 Meng Po (42)
Chapter 234 Meng Po (42)
"I finally see you again, you..."
Yue Niang felt like laughing when she heard him say words that were almost the same as last time.
Especially their current identities.
Well, two men.
The height difference is not much.
Obviously, the cruise is higher.
But Li Lu held her in his arms like a woman.
Why, well, it's all a bit abrupt and unsightly.
With a little effort, he broke free from his shackles.
Seeing Li Lu's face full of astonishment and subtle but present grievance.
She explained with a wry smile.
"Well, with our current status, this is not appropriate."
Pulling and tugging, hugging and embracing.
If it wasn't at night, but in the daytime, a random passerby would definitely be scared to death.
Li Lu only then realized that something was wrong.
I was just excited to see her again.
Without considering anything else.
Now that she has pointed out this reality to me, I feel a little embarrassed.
Yue Niang's embarrassment became more and more intense quickly, but it also disappeared quickly.
Instead, she went over and put her arm around his shoulders like a brother.
"Hahaha, I've wanted to try this feeling for a long time."
In the past, they were all female.
Li Lu was also very tall.
When they talked, she always had to tilt her neck upward.
Now, it was her turn to experience the feeling of being so tall.
Li Lu was also amused by her actions.
Only when he is with her can he feel alive.
Fresh and full of vitality.
His life was equipped with both fast forward and rewind functions.
The ten-year cycle of waiting left him with only a few periods of joy and happiness.
And every time I see her, I feel as happy as before.
"old."
He was answering what she had just said with little variation.
"what?"
She didn't react.
“I’m getting older.”
This is the truth.
No matter how much you wish you could go back to the way you were before, you cannot change the aging of your body functions.
"In the past two years, it seems to have become much slower."
My hands and feet are no longer strong.
The time spent on horseback riding decreased, the speed of archery slowed down, and even the memory deteriorated.
"Perhaps, before long, it will really be..."
Dying forever.
"Are you afraid of it?"
Yue Niang looked at him in a daze. She didn't know if it was because of his words, but she could indeed feel the aura emanating from him.
It's very familiar, like the smell that lingers on every soul in the underworld.
He looks energetic, but unfortunately his inner foundation is broken.
For a military commander who has spent his entire life in battle, the time is almost up.
She was curious whether he would be afraid.
"Are you afraid of death?"
He smiled and said, "Don't be afraid."
"why?"
Don’t all mortals miss the human world? Why isn’t he afraid?
"Weren't you there?"
He had always known her identity, and perhaps it had something to do with where people go after they die.
Then he is not afraid.
It is difficult to see when alive, but it may be easier to see after death.
It suddenly occurred to him, "We've met so many times, we can be considered old friends."
Yue Niang nodded.
She had always regarded him as her only old friend in the world.
"Then, can you tell me your true identity?"
Fearing that she might misunderstand, he added, "I thought that when I get down there, I can at least tell you my name and won't be bullied..."
As funny as it seems, there will come a day when he will need to rely on others for protection.
"Have you heard of Meng Po?"
This is nothing that cannot be said.
Li Lu had long guessed that she was of an extraordinary identity.
Li Lu nodded.
Could she be Meng Po?
Not really.
"Don't you think it's not like that?"
I remember Cao Yushou’s surprise and disbelief at that time.
"But what does Meng Po look like? Mortals have never seen her. She is just an illusion created by imagination."
"The dead can be seen, but a bowl of Meng Po soup makes them forget their past. How can they remember a passerby like me?"
Li Lu agreed, "Indeed, now in this world, perhaps I am the only one who knows what Meng Po looks like."
Yue Niang shook her head.
"No, you don't know either."
She sighed slightly sadly, "Actually, I don't know either."
Seeing his confusion, Yue Niang explained, "I am actually blind."
"That is, it can only be seen in the human world. Because it is attached to these people, it is able to see the prosperity of the human world."
"So, these are not your real bodies?"
Li Lu couldn't help but smile bitterly when he got Yue Niang's affirmation.
He actually thought he recognized her by her appearance when he saw her the second time.
Now that I think about it, it was just a coincidence.
Just like this time, she changed her body and couldn't recognize herself.
"Were you born blind?"
If one becomes blind later in life, he should know what he looks like.
"I don't know, maybe the day after tomorrow."
She also suspected that it was acquired, because she could see things clearly in her dreams.
If it was innate, how could he understand everything once he regained his sight?
"I lost a memory."
“Without that memory, I don’t know who I am.”
She felt that this was a little ambiguous, "Oh, I mean who was I before I became Meng Po."
It seemed as if her existence was just for these five hundred years of life as Meng Po.
This doesn't feel like work, it feels more like a punishment.
Could it be that she had done something bad in the past and was punished by heaven?
Li Lu had never expected that her story would be mixed with such tragedy.
I thought that gods lived better than mortals.
At least there won't be so many troubles.
"It doesn't matter, as long as I remember you are Meng Po."
"No matter what the appearance or shape."
He also thought about the future, "If I go down there someday, I will definitely take a look at your appearance for you. I will describe it to you, okay?"
Yue Niang agreed with a smile.
"Others are looking forward to dying later, but you are so nonchalant and don't take death seriously."
She even tried to scare him, "Who knows, I might look horrible, just like the monsters and demons in the stories you humans like to write, and you might not even have time to hide."
Li Lu shook his head seriously, "No, I have seen all kinds of ugly broken limbs on the battlefield."
What's more, he doesn't care what she is like.
He just wanted to get to know her better.
It's not about love, it's not about anything.
Driven only by the heart.
"Okay," Yue Niang admired his courage, "You are worthy of being the famous King Anyang."
“It’s just different from ordinary people.”
After praising, he still didn't forget the main business.
"Let's get back to the point. When you return to the border this time, please take me with you. This is Luo Yi's wish."
"Is this your mission this time?"
He forced himself to suppress his inner excitement; he couldn't ask for more since she was willing to leave with him.
"No, it has nothing to do with this. But there's still a lot of time. I can come back and continue later."
It will take ten years before the second assassination attempt is triggered.
There was nothing else she could do here, so she might as well leave.
"Take me away, okay?"
