Strange Tales: The Yin-Yang Celestial Master

Luo Lang started a nine-to-five office life, while Qi Buyang was assigned a relatively simple job - serving soup for Meng Po on the Naihe Bridge.

Although this job is simple, it is not easy. Sometimes it will be overcrowded all at once, and there will be a long line of ghosts waiting to cross the bridge. They must work continuously like a spinning top to deliver a bowl of hot soup to the waiting ghosts. Then the grievances and hatreds of these people in their previous lives were all wiped out by their own hands.This feeling is weird, and he hasn't fully adapted to it yet.

Sometimes, the bridge suddenly becomes quiet again, and there is no soul for a long time. At this time, Qi Buyang will think of his mother. They are still one step too late in the end. Su Wan has already gone to reincarnate, and the judge said that she will live a long life in the next life. .Qi Buyang didn't ask about Su Wan's whereabouts after reincarnation, it was enough to know that she was living well.

He will also think of those people he met briefly and then left. Do they also line up like this, drink Mengpo soup, and walk across the bridge of Naihe?What were they thinking before eating the soup?Will you still hesitate, will you be reluctant to part with the memories of your previous life?Qi Buyang thought that he would never be able to understand it. The King of Hades said that he could not be reincarnated and would stay in this life forever.

So he went to ask the old senior Meng Po: Do ​​you know what people are thinking at the moment they drink Meng Po soup?Granny Meng, who was too old to tell her age, smiled kindly at him, with many wrinkles on her face.

"I always thought about this question when I first came here," said Granny Meng. "After a long time, I don't think about it anymore."

Qi Buyang pondered the old man's words thoughtfully.

Granny Meng seemed to like him very much, and said with a smile, "Your boy is so handsome, but his complexion is not very good." She then offered him a bowl of reddish hot soup, "Here, drink a bowl of soup to warm your body."

Qi Buyang looked at the bowl of soup, hesitant: "Could it be Meng Po soup?"

"What are you talking about?" The old man smiled and shook his head, "This is newly made by my mother-in-law. Drinking it will have the effect of beautifying and beautifying your skin. It will just replenish your blood."

Qi Buyang wanted to say that he was not a girl and didn't need beauty treatment, but seeing the eager look on the old man's face, he couldn't bear to refuse after all, so he obediently drank it.Unexpectedly, the entrance is sweet, and there is a strange fragrance in the mouth.

"It's delicious!" He admired sincerely.

"Of course." Granny Meng told him slowly, "This is made from golden phoenix stamens by the river, candied dates from hell and water from the Nai River!"

"..." Qi Buyang suddenly felt his stomach churning.

That night, Master Luo returned home after a day's work and almost didn't recognize the little Tianshi when he saw him.

"Why did it turn red?" He raised an eyebrow and asked.

Qi Buyang hid in the corner shamelessly. He was covered in pink from head to toe. He had been ridiculed for his appearance all day, "... drank Granny Meng's soup."

"IQ was eaten by a dog?" Luo Lang leaned down and knocked his head condescendingly, "Can that old woman drink whatever soup she wants?"

"……sorry."

But Luo Lang said that it was quite comfortable to be able to sleep with a big pink pillow, which fully satisfied his secret girlish heart.The next morning, the redness on his body finally faded completely, which made Qi Buyang, who had been nervous all night, heaved a sigh of relief.

Luo Lang personally sent him to work, holding a hideously ugly devil fish just caught from the Nai River in his hand, standing in front of Granny Meng sinisterly, "Old woman, if you dare to give him something to drink again, I will Just put this fish in your mouth."

After finishing speaking, he threw the fish away, and hated the blood-like mucus left on his hands. He found a soup bucket and stretched his hands into it to wash it off. It was too late for Qi Buyang to stop it.

Master Luo, who had achieved the purpose of intimidation, had no self-consciousness of respecting the old and caring for the young, so he patted Qi Buyang on the head, glared at Po Meng, and left in a hurry.

Qi Buyang hurriedly apologized to Po Meng, but luckily the old man said he didn't mind.

"But these soups..." He volunteered to change the soup, but was stopped by Granny Meng.

"It's all right." She waved her hand, "I just want to see if drinking the added soup will affect the effect." The old man said with a smile.

Qi Buyang: ...

Before he could silently mourn for the ghosts who wanted to cross the bridge to drink the soup, another bowl of bubbling soup with suspicious bubbles was brought to him in the blink of an eye.

"This is newly developed today. It's delicious. Do you want to try it?"

"..."

So working with Granny Meng is not an easy task, Qi Buyang thought silently in his heart.

...

It was almost a week since Luo Lang came back from the outside, counting on his fingers, so he changed his way and went to the Palace of the King of Hell first.

"I'll get paid." He said with a smile.

Female Hades now has a headache when she sees him, and she can list a long record of missed work: "I start work later than anyone else every day, but I get off work on time, and I ran away when I pinched it, regardless of whether your arrest target is still there or not. This week alone, five of the ghost messengers you took out were injured, how dare you come to collect your salary?"

"Why are you embarrassed?" Luo Lang looked innocent, "This is a matter of principle. When the off-duty time comes, of course you have to go home. You have to pay double for overtime, can you afford it?"

"..." The female King of Hades was so angry that her brain ached, she quickly threw a thick wad of Ming coins to him, as if driving away evil spirits.

Luo Lang got the money and counted it carefully.

The female Hades couldn't stand it anymore, "Why haven't I seen you care so much before?"

"That's different." Luo Lang counted the money without raising his head and said, "Now I'm a man who wants to support his family."

What a fart!The female Hades cursed in her heart, deeply feeling that she had been hurt.

"Why is this so? What about my family's Yangyang?" After counting them again, Luo Lang raised his head and asked dissatisfied.

"Why should he bring it to you!" Female Hades waved her hand, "Let him get it himself, I have something to say to him."

Luo Lang immediately became vigilant: "What do you want to tell him?"

"What's none of your business?!" the female Hades yelled, but when she saw Luo Lang's look of "I won't leave until I explain clearly", she rolled her eyes helplessly, "It's just to praise him, he did a good job , to send him a big red flower on behalf of the underworld... Satisfied?"

Luo Lang nodded reservedly, and said with a smile, "I will personally convey it to him."

"Okay, okay, let's go." The female king of Hades issued the order to evict the guest, and she still had to save her brain capacity to deal with the mountains of documents on the table.

Satisfied with the money, Luo Lang wandered to Naihe Bridge to look for Qi Buyang.From a distance, I saw that the bridge was empty, there were no ghosts, and Po Meng was not there, so I should be off work at this time.Instead, there were two people in couple costumes, one in black and the other in white, standing there talking to his little celestial master.

When I got closer, I found that those two people were black and white Wuchang who had been hiding from their own leaders for several days. The one in white with a smile on his face was Bai Wuchang, and the one in black standing beside him with an expressionless face was naturally Hei Wuchang.When he passed by, he happened to hear Bai Wuchang joking with Qi Buyang——

"This is the human being brought by Lord Luo? Tsk tsk, the aura is pretty good. Have we seen it before?"

Of course Qi Buyang has seen them before, he is a celestial master, he will encounter these two people once or twice when he encounters ghosts out of ten times, but he really didn't speak to each other, which made him a little embarrassed, and nodded obediently.

Just as Luo Lang wanted to help him, he heard Bai Wuchang say again: "Lord Luo is not a good person, he treats you so well, what is your relationship?"

Qi Buyang thought seriously, and Luo Lang couldn't help holding his breath, and stopped, wanting to hear how he would answer.Although he had never heard of Qi Buyang, in Luo Lang's heart, he was actually very confident - he liked Qi Buyang so much, how could Qi Buyang not like him.Just when he was complacent, he heard the little celestial master say: "We are friends. Mr. Luo and I are very good friends."

As soon as he said this, even Bai Wuchang was stunned for a moment. He just saw that the child was thin-skinned and wanted to tease him, and he noticed Luo Lang coming, so he asked this question on purpose. In fact, he had already seen it, but he didn't expect to hear it Here is the answer.Thinking badly, he turned his head and saw Luo Lang standing there with a blank expression on his face.

Qi Buyang also saw Luo Lang, and the first thing he saw was his stiff face. For some reason, his heart skipped a beat, and he called weakly: "Mr. Luo..."

Luo Lang walked up to him step by step, stared into his eyes, and asked forcefully, "Again, what do you think I am?"

Qi Buyang subconsciously realized that his answer might be the cause of his anger, but he didn't turn his head around, he was a little dazed, and repeated, "Friend, friend."

Before he finished speaking, he found that Luo Lang's face had completely darkened, and he was so frightened that he quickly shut up.Luo Lang didn't say anything, he knew Qi Buyang very well, this stupid little celestial master would never lie, if he said they were friends, then in his heart, they were just friends.

Luo Lang gave him a deep look, turned around and walked away.

Qi Buyang stood where he was, watching him walk away, his face full of bewilderment, looking a little pitiful.

Bai Wuchang saw that he had caused trouble, and quickly comforted him: "Look, you are angry now. You really are not a good person, right? Don't take it to heart."

Qi Buyang turned his head absent-mindedly, "You...don't talk nonsense, Mr. Luo is a good man!" But he still glanced at the direction Luo Lang left from the corner of his eyes.

"..." Bai Wuchang was confused. Although he really wanted to correct what he said "Luo Lang is a good man", he still held back, patted Qi Buyang on the shoulder, and quickly pulled Xiao Hei Walk.

Qi Buyang stood on the bridge for a while, seeing that Luo Lang had really left, he slowly walked towards the city of Wushi.As soon as he entered the city gate, everyone greeted him: "Are you back? Where's your family? Why aren't you together?"

Usually when asked this way, he always explained repeatedly in embarrassment, but today he just shook his head and didn't say a word.

Careful people soon noticed something was wrong, "What's wrong? Are you unhappy?"

"Did the young couple quarrel?"

"Don't be too sad, it's inevitable for two people to quarrel when they live together, and they usually make up at night."

Qi Buyang listened in a daze, completely unaware of what they were talking about, and was comforted by everyone for a long time before he was able to escape. When he went back to the small building where he and Luo Lang lived, he saw that Luo Lang was not there.

That night, he sat alone on the bedside with the quilt in his arms and waited for Mr. Luo to come back. For the first time, he found that the temperature in the underworld was so low and very cold.I kept thinking about what I said on the bridge before, and in the end I always stayed at the picture of Luo Lang leaving with a flick of his sleeves. The more I thought about it, the sadder I became, but I didn't know why.

He really has always regarded Mr. Luo as his best friend, more important than anyone else, why is Mr. Luo so angry?

He couldn't figure it out, and felt extremely wronged.Not to mention that he has never held a girl's hand because he is so tall, and he has never even gotten along with a girl because he has been living in seclusion. The whole process of growing up is spent on catching ghosts and cultivating, with no distractions.She is really ignorant about love and love, and the object is a man, so she didn't turn her mind to it at all.

After waiting all night, Qi Buyang didn't fall asleep, and Luo Lang didn't come back either.
