All living beings in hell

Chapter 46 - Hell Brewer

The lotus lantern at the door lit up, and the office welcomed No. 30 No. [-] customer.

I waited for a while, but the door of the office was still closed.There was no knocking, no shouting, no sound of any kind.I frowned, holding the sapphire pen in my hand, got up and went to the door to check.

As soon as I opened the door, a round bright yellow translucent soul looked at me and screamed at the door, which startled me.

"The lotus lantern is already on, please come in." I stretched out my hand to the guest, gesturing to enter.

The spherical soul froze in place, staring at me with a pair of small orange eyes (if the pair of sesame-sized dots were eyes): "Master... I heard... I heard that you are dead... "

"Well, it's dead."

"Then, then, who are you...?" The voice of the spherical soul trembled.

"I am the writer, but the body is dead, but the soul is still there. Please come in."

The spherical soul hesitated for a moment, but still came in with small feet (if the pair of slow-moving claws under its body were feet): "My lord... your soul... really looks like a living person..."

"Probably not long enough to die, the human form is still intact... well, what should I call you?" I walked beside the spherical soul and asked.

"Dee Dee."

After I returned to the wooden table, I wrote its name on the rice paper.Didi's walking speed is very slow, I waited for a while, and finally it moved to the wooden table, took a deep breath, and squatted down on the bluestone bench.

"Didi, what are you looking for me today?"

"My lord, I'm always hungry, and I'm very distressed."

"What do you usually eat?" I remembered that the big crocodile seemed to be eating all the time.

"I like to eat sweet things, but there are too few sweet things in hell. Only the dew on the lotus pod in the lotus pond of Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva is sweet. I can only live by sucking dew, which is not enough to eat. , so hungry."

Didi's words reminded me that I haven't eaten or felt hungry for such a long time... Does my soul not need to eat?

"Then you can go to the human world. There are many sweets in the human world. Cream cakes, milk tea, candies, there are many sweet things to eat."

"Eating sweet things in the world will make me feel uncomfortable."

"How uncomfortable?"

"It will...be indigestible...it will grow bigger and change color...the sweets in the world are too heavy, and I can't bear it."

"Why do you like eating sweet things so much?"

"I'll be in a good mood!" Didi replied cheerfully.

"If you don't eat, will you starve to death?"

"If you don't eat...if you don't eat...it's okay. If you eat it, you will feel better, but if you don't eat it, you will feel bad."

"What happens when you're in a bad mood?"

"If you're in a bad mood...you'll be irritable."

"What happens if you get angry?"

"It will... it will expand... it will expand infinitely... it will become very big..."

"How much can it change?"

"As big as hell is, I can become as big..."

"So Dee Dee, how did you end up in this hell?"

"I...I..." Didi's two little sesame-like orange eyes dimmed, as if mentioning its sadness, "I was demoted from the heaven..."

"What did you do? You were sent directly to hell by Heaven?"

"My lord, I am the number one brewer in the Heavenly Court. The best wine in the Three Realms is made by me. Every year, the queen mother's peach feast is indispensable to my fine wine."

"And then? What happened next?"

Didi sighed: "Speaking of it, it's good fortune. As the number one brewer, I myself have a very poor capacity for alcohol. Every time I taste a small cup, my head is already swollen, my face is red and my ears are hot. I don't know what to say." What should be said, is all vented on the wine table. It's too bad when I wake up from the wine, but I don't know what I said and what I did..."

"So you drink your own wine?"

"Drink! You must drink! I haven't tasted it myself, so how can I know if it is the best wine in the three worlds! But every time I taste the wine, it is quite painful. I ordered my apprentice to wear a gag silk scarf and a bundle Immortal Rope, as long as you see me drinking until my face turns red and my ears are hot, knock me down, tie me up, gag me, and drag me away from everyone as far as possible. That apprentice of mine has done his duty. I know I With great strength, it is not easy to knock me down, and sometimes I will fight back. After waking up from the wine, I saw my apprentice's body was bruised and purple, and I felt really sorry. Fortunately, after accepting him as an apprentice, once I didn’t say any more nonsense. In the words of my apprentice, bind your feet first, then bind your hands, and finally gag your mouth. It’s best to complete the three things at the same time in an instant. If there is any deviation, you will be beaten hard Hey, you are really ashamed to say that I am a master."

"Your apprentice is still making wine in Tianting?"

"He...he didn't learn very well. I didn't master the essentials of making good wine before I left...but my boxing skills have improved a lot."

"Then what happened? You were demoted to the underworld?"

"I am determined to make the sweetest wine in the world, and I know that the sweetest ingredients are grown in the most painful places in the world. That should be here, it is hell."

"Have you found the sweetest ingredient in the world?"

"It is the dew on the lotus pod in the lotus pond of Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva. This sweetness is very different from that in the heavenly world. It comes out of the mud without being stained, and when it washes the clear ripples without being demonic. In this deep and bitter hell, this drop How many lonely souls and wild ghosts can be moistened with nectar!"

"and then?"

"In order to make wine, I stole a handful of lotus pods and returned to the heaven. How do you know, how do you know! The dew will become ordinary after returning to the heaven, and it is not as sweet as the well water in the world! It has no taste, and the brewed wine It’s even more bitter. I don’t believe it. I’ve tasted this dew myself in hell, and my taste buds can’t go wrong! I’ve gone back and forth between heaven and hell time and time again, stealing the lotus pods of Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva. "

"Then you were demoted?"

"Hey, I wasn't demoted for stealing the lotus pod... I couldn't bring out good wine at the flat peach feast that year."

"why?"

"One day in the sky, one year on the earth. And I spent a whole year in the heaven, researching how to use this nectar to make good wine. One year in the sky has passed, and every jar of wine is very bad. Either the bitter Extremely sour, too sour to swallow, or so spicy that the gods shed tears. This peach feast is not accompanied by fine nectar, and the responsibility is naturally on me... Then I will have no face to work in the heaven... I was demoted After leaving the heaven, I can come to the human world to ask for a life. But I can’t forget the nectar in this hell! So I bypassed the human world and jumped into this hell.”

"Then have you brewed the wine you want in the underworld?"

"My lord, the cloud wine you drink comes from me. In fact, the only wine in this hell comes from me."

"Yunjiu, it's very spicy, but very exciting."

"This spiciness is nothing compared to the spiciness I tasted in Heaven... I still don't understand what went wrong."

"You have brewed the best wine in the Three Realms."

"Not enough, my lord. Those wines are just sweet and delicious, without aftertaste. No god will think back to any of the flat peach feasts, and think: Ah, the wine was so delicious that year. Everyone will only talk about the Jade Emperor. What did they say, what did the queen mother say, and what did the god say. Occasionally they would praise the flat peaches on the plate, but absolutely no one would praise the wine. From the beginning to the end, such a good wine was just a foil. What a pity, what a pity!"

"The cloud wine I received this time is very delicious, much softer than before. My guests have tasted it, although it is spicy, but they also like it. There is no wine in hell. Your arrival brought this product to hell. , very remarkable."

"My lord...do you really think so?"

"Well, I was a drinker when I was alive. If I didn't have a few sips of wine in this hell, I would probably be depressed."

Didi looked at me, Zhima's eyes were filled with tears instantly: "You... what you said...are you telling the truth?"

"Well, I think the work you've done is pretty remarkable."

Zhima Xiaoyan finally couldn't hold back the tears, and Didi burst into tears.I took out a silk handkerchief from the table and handed it over.Didi grabbed Sipa, tears and snot pouring out unreservedly.Its body began to shrink slowly as it cried.

The translucent yellow energy body around him gradually shrunk into a human figure—an immortal old man wearing a goose-yellow heavenly official uniform and a high bun.His hair and beard were half white, and his long eyebrows hung down to his cheeks.

"My lord, I'm ashamed, I'm ashamed!" Didi clutched the handkerchief tightly, still sobbing.

"Why are you ashamed?"

"I have been brewing wine for thousands of years, and I only want to brew the most beautiful wine in the three worlds, but I have never thought about what I really want... what I want... what the old man wants... what I want... is to be able to hear The drinkers really appreciate it!"

"Thank you, Dee Dee, for the wine," I replied.

Didi's tears couldn't be held back, they were still crackling and falling: "My lord, I'm really... so happy."

"What are you going to do next?" I asked.

"Next... Hell needs wine more than heaven! I want to study hard here, and study how to make the wine that all living beings in hell like. Writer, if you don't mind, I will send newly brewed wine regularly Come for you to taste."

"If so, thank you very much, thank you very much."

Didi stood up, and Sipa covered her nose: "The old man got up first and left. It's really ugly to cry like this."

"It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter."

I got up and walked Didi to the door of the office.

"It's a pleasure meeting you," Didi said.

"See you later." I said.

"See you."
