How about a bowl of Mengpo soup

The underworld at night is always as noisy as a busy city on earth.Countless bright street lamps rise in the residential city, and the colors are gorgeous.Pedestrians shuttle among them, in groups, or alone.But the Pluto's dormitory outside of this hustle and bustle is still solemn and deserted.The pale light was diffused, and the quiet maid stood by the door with lowered eyebrows.A row of black-armored dark soldiers on vigil outside the high wall in the distance walked slowly, and the slight sound fell on this night, making it even more profound and peaceful.

It's so quiet that it makes people feel lonely.

A tall slender woman in a light yellow robe came out from the side door of the main hall, with her hands behind her back, walked slowly, walked through a moon gate, and came to the back garden surrounded by low walls.

What bloomed in the garden were all blood-red mansa beads, and now they were shrouded in a layer of pale cold light, making them look even more ghostly and coquettish.Yan You walked to a pool made of marble, and sat casually on the ground, with one hand lightly resting on the edge of the clean white pool wall.The ground around the pool is also paved with gray marble, smooth and clear, reflecting a vague figure.

Yan You just leaned against the edge of the pool, holding his chin, dipped a finger into the water, and slowly moved it, breaking up the small piece of calm water surface boredly, creating clear and shallow ripples.The wall of the pool is no more than two feet above the ground, but in fact the pool is six feet deep, and the water is clear and cool. If you lean over and look at it, you can see the white and round bottom of the pool through the patches of light on the water surface. Pebbles and clusters of green aquatic plants.

Suddenly, a slender and beautiful figure appeared among the water plants and pebbles.

It was a koi, poking its head out from the bottom of the pond and slowly swimming over.The whole body is snow blue, with a layer of faint fluorescent light covering the densely packed scales, the softly wagging tail has some transparent light green, and there is a touch of bright red on the top of the head, like cinnabar.

It is really a rare and beautiful ghost koi.These were the first words that came to Yan You's mind when he first saw it at the border 20 years ago.

At that time, she had just met Ji Lan and was already on her way back to her Netherworld.When flying across the field in a wind and cloud, I inadvertently lowered my head, just in time to see a cluster of blue lights in the dark pond, flickering on and off, looking confused and fragile.When her thoughts moved slightly, she had already flown down and landed on the edge of the pond.The place overgrown with weeds was somewhat dirty and filled with dead air.

As soon as the visitor stood still, the surrounding black mist immediately dissipated, and You Mei, who was originally floating here, ran away with a few clusters of will-o'-the-wisps, uttering some whimpers that seemed to be crying.

Then, Yan You saw the koi struggling in the black water, it was as beautiful as a green lotus growing out of the mud, but it was spotless.After a moment of amazement, Xiumei frowned slightly.That koi was full of spiritual energy, but it attracted a lot of wandering charms. At this time, a big black in the water chased it, entangled like vines.

The miasma in this place is getting heavier and heavier.

The person standing by the water looked at the fish in the water, and said in a cold and gentle voice, "Would you like to come with me?"

The carp seemed to have some reaction, turned its head and swam to this side, half of its body came out of the water, showing smooth and beautiful faint blue ridges, sparkling.These sparkling lights were reflected in Yan You's deep purple eyes. She squatted down and half-immersed a finger in the water. The dark and turbid water instantly melted away, revealing a clear color, which gradually spread and stretched, covering the fish. Wrap up.

The faint blue koi swam over in the clear green, washing away the entangled black air, revealing a brighter color.Then, it and Yan You looked at each other quietly, took a step closer slowly, and gently rubbed the finger that was still in the water with its head.

……

Pulling back his thoughts, his fingertips suddenly touched the cold smoothness.The person lying on the edge of the pool looked down into the pool and saw that the fish had already swam up to him. He lightly touched his fingertips in the water with his forehead, just like when he first saw it 20 years ago.

"Time flies." This fish has been with him for 20 years.Yan You curved his lips and smiled slightly, his eyebrows were gentle in the dim light, and he said in a low voice: "It's nice to have you here."

At this time, there were soft footsteps coming from far and near.A judge wearing a silk embroidered blue and white gown appeared beside him, holding two stacks of books in his hands.When she saw Yan You crouching by the pool, for some reason, she felt very unusually peaceful for a moment, and also had some imperceptible sadness.After a long time, she shook her head and said softly, "Your Majesty."

"You're here." Yan You was still lying there, without turning around to look at her, and his tone was calm and unwavering.Feng Wuya had no choice but to get closer, and handed over the book in his hand: "This is the number of souls and reincarnations recovered last year, as well as the records of ghosts imprisoned in hell and transferred to reincarnation. Our Xuanzheng Yuan has sorted them out. And The top one is the list of people who will be reincarnated tomorrow."

"Yeah." Yan You responded, took it, opened the top book, glanced at it, and handed it back: "You can take this list of reincarnations to the main hall for stamping." "Okay." Feng Wuya took the book Hugging her chest, but not in a hurry to leave, she glanced at Yan You, and asked hesitantly: "Your Majesty, what's the matter with the palpitations in your heart when you went to bed recently..." It seemed that she had thought about the words for a long time before saying, " Uh, is there anything unusual?"

"It's always been like this, I'm used to it." Yan You replied lightly, turning around to look at her, "You don't have to worry."

"Oh..." Feng Wuya frowned, thoughtfully.Still wanting to say something, out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of a woman in green clothes walking up from behind, and held back.After a long while, I only muttered: "In fact, a considerate and gentle woman like Xinxue is more suitable..."

"What are you talking about me?" The woman asked with a smile when she approached and heard her name.

"I said the boss's wife's tea is very good, you can give me a few bags some other day, don't be so partial." Feng Wuya stared at the things in Xinxue's hands, smiling ambiguously.

His Royal Highness Pluto glanced at her: "Have you spent too little time in my bedroom?"

"Hey, I don't know if the king cares about tea or rice?" Feng Wuya smiled and leaned over, but got a slap in the face.She waved her hand and said, "Okay, I won't bother you anymore, hey, Xinxue, I'll go to your store to try the sweet-scented osmanthus cake tomorrow night."

"Okay, you can eat as much as you want then." The beauty in green clothes covered her mouth and smiled.When Feng Wuya was far away, she shook her head, walked to Yan You's side and sat down on her knees, placing the tray on the edge of the wall.The tea fragrance is elegant, and it floats into the nostrils in an instant.Yan You slightly raised the corners of his mouth, "Here's another tea for this king."

"The new old Dahongpao." Xinxue said softly, poured out the frothed tea in the purple clay pot, picked up the kettle on the side and refilled it with boiling water for the second time.After a while, he filled three cups, put them in front of Yan You, and said softly, "Taste."

Yan You sat up straight, reached out to pick up a cup, blew on it, took a small sip, and swallowed slowly.Light red liquid, smooth in the mouth, fragrant and sweet.One cup is slightly bitter, two cups are sweet, and three cups have endless charm, sweet and refreshing aftertaste, and the tea fragrance is long and refreshing.

After drinking, there is a strong fragrance at the bottom of the cup. After a while, you can still feel the sweet taste between your lips and teeth. It is really the best tea.Yan You's eyebrows stretched, and a smile gradually appeared.Xinxue's tea brewed is well controlled, and she can always control the time when the water comes out, so that she can brew her favorite taste.

"I like it." She said to the woman beside her.

"Just as long as you like it." Xinxue curled the corners of her mouth, her tone was intimate and natural, she didn't feel too close, but kept a proper distance, with a degree of intimacy.Just like the tea she made.

Sometimes Yan You felt that the woman in front of her was like an old friend she was very familiar with, or even a sister who cared for her, she understood and tolerated her, making people feel relaxed and relaxed when they were with her. "Bring me such a good tea today, did Wu Ya tell you something?" Leaning on the edge of the pool, she picked up a life book and flipped through it, and said, "Wu Ya doesn't care about everything." Well, that’s a lot to talk about.”

"He just had no intention of chatting, and I just listened casually." Xinxue added water to the purple sand pot, "Wan Yan is a stubborn person, and she is still stubborn in her feelings. Maybe she is not heartless towards you , I just don’t want to face it squarely, or I don’t know it yet.”

"Yeah, this single-minded woman is simply stupid and stubborn."

"Hehe." Seeing the other party's inadvertent childishness, Xinxue smiled with crooked eyebrows.He picked up a cup of warm tea and handed it over, but happened to see the open book of destiny. "Died for love?" She suppressed her smile because of the above content, and said in a low voice: "This woman actually took poison with her lover?"

"The woman is dead, but the man saved his life because he only took a little and spit it out in time." Yan You said lightly, and lowered his head to taste the tea. alcohol.After drinking a few more sips, his eyes fell back to the fate book, which showed the life of the third lady from a large family in Shangqi Imperial Capital.

Speaking of Miss Zhang's family, Yan You remembered that he had met her when he was in the world.A very good woman, beautiful and kind.But she didn't expect that in these years, she fell in love with a poor scholar who was out of her own destiny.The family definitely disagreed, and they wanted to force her to marry another well-matched official son. In desperation, she secretly met the scholar, and then took poison together.

However, the scholar got cold feet.

Yan You's eyes darkened, and he said in a low voice: "That man is doomed for this woman. Originally, her fate in this life is also good, but it's a pity." Putting down the teacup, he leaned against the wall behind him, and continued Said: "She is dead, and the man will forget her soon after all, marry another wife and concubine, have four or five children, and then live to be more than 60 years old."

"If this had been expected earlier, then the woman would definitely not have done this." Xinxue sighed softly.

"Who knows." Yan You turned her face to look into the pool, gently paddling the water surface with her hands, and Xinxue saw blurry waves reflected on her handsome side face, in this somewhat dim light, she was so beautiful unreal.

"Things in the world are impermanent, old people turn around and forget each other, and vows of eternal love, sometimes they can only be reduced to passing clouds." She said softly, as if whispering: "But even so, there are still many people who are stupid."

The faint blue koi sticks out of the water, wagging its tail and looking at the two women by the pool, as if it can understand their conversation.The fingertips that made layers of ripples moved over, and lightly touched the red on its forehead.

"Lan Jin, do you think so?"
