My Years in the Folklore World

Chapter 802 Meng Po Soup

Looking at the wounds that kept appearing on his body, Jiang Xinghuo was suddenly shocked. Previously, the damage caused by the ghost baby was limited to one place, but now it was spread all over his body with no pattern at all. It was obviously changing the previous killing pattern.

"Is this the ghost baby that became a ghost?"

Jiang Xinghuo's face was solemn. He immediately activated the Qilin Regeneration Technique and the Dead Tree Resurrection Technique to protect his entire body and fight against the wounds caused by the ghost baby, especially the vital parts of his body and the internal organs.

Especially the internal organs are not like other parts. Even if other parts of the body are attacked by the ghost baby, the person will not lose his life in a short period of time. But if the internal organs are attacked like this, he will lose half his life if he does not die.

Moreover, now it is only the ghost baby that is attacking alone. The ghost bride has not attacked him. He is also unclear about its killing patterns and methods, so it is even more difficult to guard against it.

Wounds on Jiang Xinghuo's body kept appearing and healing. The ghost baby floated in the air, grinning constantly, as if it couldn't understand why Jiang Xinghuo could resist for so long. It could have been unable to kill the opponent when it was weak, but now it has become a ghost and can't even kill the human in front of it.

Although the ghost baby was not very intelligent, its ghost instinct controlled the murderous aura in its heart. Seeing that it could not kill Jiang Xinghuo, it could no longer bear it. It let out a sharp howl and pounced towards Jiang Xinghuo. Its sharp teeth emitted a corpse-like smell, as if it wanted to tear Jiang Xinghuo's body apart completely.

"The opportunity has come!"

Jiang Xinghuo's heart moved, and he held the God-Binding Immortal Talisman in his palm, but he remained calm on the surface. It was not until the ghost baby pounced on him that Jiang Xinghuo stretched out his hand, grabbed the ghost baby's neck, and the God-Binding Immortal Talisman hidden in his palm was instantly injected into the ghost baby's body.

Then, Jiang Xinghuo swung his right hand and threw the ghost baby away, while paying attention to its movements.

Although the God-Binding and Immortal-Commanding Talisman can restrain the evil spirits and demons in the secular world, it is still unknown whether it can be effective against the evil spirits in the Zhenwu Cave Heaven. Therefore, he must make preparations for both situations. In case the God-Binding and Immortal-Commanding Talisman does not work, he has to think of other ways.

On the other side, the ghost bride remained indifferent. She just stood in the corner and looked at Jiang Xinghuo quietly, as if she was observing the methods mastered by Jiang Xinghuo.

After the ghost baby was thrown away by Jiang Xinghuo, it fell heavily to the ground. After turning over, it let out another sharp howl. Jiang Xinghuo only felt a tearing and tearing pain on his body. Two bloody tooth marks appeared on his chest. His clothes were soaked with blood. Fortunately, the Qilin Technique and the Dead Tree of Spring could repair the injuries in time.

"The God-binding Immortal Talisman doesn't work!"

Seeing the wounds on his body, Jiang Xinghuo's heart sank. If the talisman to bind gods and command immortals was effective, he would not be attacked by the ghost baby now. Being attacked means that the talisman did not work.

The scene that followed was completely unexpected for Jiang Xinghuo and completely overturned his ideas and imagination.

The ghost baby was seen half squatting and half crawling on the ground, like a big blue-black toad, with its belly and chest constantly wriggling and rising. One could clearly see something moving up from the ghost baby's belly to its throat, and finally spitting out onto the ground with a "wow" sound.

It was actually the god-binding immortal talisman that had been injected into the ghost baby's body!

Jiang Xinghuo's pupils shrank instantly. He had never expected this to happen. The God Binding Immortal Talisman was actually spit out! !

After the ghost baby spit out the God-Binding Immortal Talisman, it pushed hard on the ground with its limbs and rushed over again like an arrow.

Jiang Xinghuo took a deep breath and slowly raised his right hand. The ring on his hand suddenly turned into the White Emperor's banner. He waved his hands vigorously, and suddenly thousands of golden winds swept out, like thousands of swords and sharp blades raging, tightly wrapping the ghost baby in it.

Countless golden winds cut the ghost baby into pieces, and its blue-black flesh burst open, making piercing screams and cries, but the ghost baby could not be completely destroyed, as if it was an immortal being.

"This is a bit difficult..."

Jiang Xinghuo frowned slightly. This kind of immortal existence can only be solved by sealing. If it is really impossible to completely get rid of the ghost baby, it can only be sealed in hell.

Anyway, I now have enough hell caves at my disposal, so I can just pick one and throw it in. It won't affect other people or myself. When I encounter an enemy, I can release it to bite them.

Just when Jiang Xinghuo was about to open the Wind and Snow Prison and put the ghost baby in, the ghost bride beside him suddenly moved. The blood-red wedding dress on her body became alive, and thick blood began to flow out along the corners of the clothes, spreading to the surroundings like a stream, wrapping Jiang Xinghuo's figure in it.

"coming!"

Jiang Xinghuo's heart trembled.

Although he didn't know how the ghost bride killed people, he thought that the blood on the ground might be the cause of death. So he immediately pulled out a large flag and placed it next to him. An ochre-colored light instantly surged out, shaped like a cosmic star, protecting his body firmly in it.

The great banner of the Yellow Emperor!

If the Great Banner of the White Emperor controls the power of attack, then the Great Banner of the Yellow Emperor is the magic weapon that controls the power of protection.

The blood that was flowing over was also blocked by the light of the stars and could no longer continue to erode the center.

Jiang Xinghuo breathed a sigh of relief, then he clasped his hands together and pressed them against his chest, activating the magic weapon in his body - the Prison Disaster.

The peerless goddess Meng Po soon appeared beside him.

"Meng Po God (legend) is a biological ghost created by the ancient god Fengdu using old world technology mixed with powerful ghost genes. It is particularly good at attacking souls and has the characteristics of immortality. Even if it is burned to ashes, Meng Po God can return from oblivion."

This Mengpo god is the ghost god that Jiang Xinghuo obtained in the Fengdu Secret Realm. Like the Ox-Headed and Horse-Faced Devil and the Black and White Impermanence, they are all biological ghost gods with underworld attributes, and have extraordinary wisdom and thinking ability.

Just when Jiang Xinghuo used Huangdi's banner to resist the ghost bride, Mengpo God called him and said that she had a way to deal with the ghost baby and the ghost bride. It was a good opportunity to release Mengpo God to see how it would deal with the ghost bride and the ghost baby.

After the appearance of the goddess Meng Po, her body swayed, and she stepped on the ground with her bare feet. She smiled at Jiang Xinghuo, signaling him to withdraw the defense of the Yellow Emperor's banner.

Jiang Xinghuo did not hesitate. Since he had decided to let Meng Po God give it a try, it would be petty if he continued to delay. He would first see what Meng Po God's methods would do, and if they didn't work, he would think of other solutions.

Jiang Xinghuo held the Yellow Emperor's banner beside him and dispersed the stars formed by the magic power outside his body. The blood that was blocked outside resumed flowing, as if it had life, flowing towards Jiang Xinghuo and Mengpo Goddess.

Jiang Xinghuo was unmoved by this and just watched quietly how Mengpo Goddess responded. Mengpo Goddess did not disappoint and lightly tapped the ground with her bare toes. Time and space seemed to come to a standstill. The blood that was originally flowing immediately solidified there, as if it was frozen by an invisible force.

Afterwards, Goddess Mengpo reached into her lower abdomen and took out a small black tripod. She shook it slightly at the blood on the ground. The small tripod actually emitted a tremendous suction force, directly sucking the blood spreading on the ground into it.

The ghost bride's body also began to tremble, as if it had met some natural enemy. Although it was covered with a veil and its specific appearance could not be seen clearly, Jiang Xinghuo could feel its fear.

Then, Goddess Mengpo threw the small tripod to the ground again, and the small tripod immediately turned into a huge alchemy furnace. She waved at the ghost bride, and the ghost bride actually walked towards it and jumped into the alchemy furnace automatically. She was so well-behaved that Jiang Xinghuo was surprised. She didn't even show any intention of resisting.

When the ghost baby saw the ghost bride enter the alchemy furnace, he also started screaming anxiously, wanting to use his own power to help the ghost bride break free from the constraints of the alchemy furnace.

But unfortunately, the power between it and Meng Po God was too far apart. Meng Po God just hooked her finger slightly, and the ghost baby's mouth was immediately sealed. Jiang Xinghuo could see clearly that a thick black hemp rope appeared out of thin air and blocked the ghost baby's mouth tightly.

Then, the ghost bride who jumped into the well suddenly let out a scream, and her entire body began to melt like a candle. In just a short moment, the ghost bride completely melted into a pot of soup.

Jiang Xinghuo stood nearby and felt that the soup was so delicious and fragrant, a taste he had never tasted before. He wanted to dive into it and drink it to his heart's content.

Jiang Xinghuo quickly dismissed this thought from his mind. He remembered the folk legend about Meng Po. It is said that all dead souls would drink a bowl of Meng Po soup before entering reincarnation to forget their past.

Could it be that the soup formed after the ghost bride melted is the so-called Meng Po soup?
Jiang Xinghuo subconsciously opened the Sky-Peeking Eye and looked at the pot of translucent soup in the alchemy furnace.

"Blissful and Carefree Soup (consumable item), Mengpo Soup brewed by the Goddess Mengpo herself, also known as Blissful and Carefree Soup. Drinking it can make ghosts forget all their past events, and you can also inject your own compiled memories into the ghosts' minds."

"But this Meng Po soup is only effective against ghosts and spirits. It is not only useless for other living beings, but it is also a poison that damages the soul and spirit. There is no cure in the world."

Jiang Xinghuo looked at the information on the panel and finally knew what the soup was. The effect was beyond Jiang Xinghuo's expectations.

Props like those that can make the target forget their past are not common in the secular world, but there are quite a few. However, props that can tamper with the memory of ghosts like Meng Po soup are extremely rare.

At least Jiang Xinghuo has not encountered it so far, except for the pot of steaming Meng Po soup in front of him.

After Meng Po Goddess cooked this bowl of Meng Po soup, she waved her hand to call the ghost baby to her side, and pressed the ghost baby directly into the alchemy furnace. The full pot of soup began to disappear at a speed visible to the naked eye, and finally there was not a drop left, leaving only an empty pot.

Looking at the ghost baby again, its appearance hasn't changed much, except that its dark blue skin has turned into purple skin like Thanos's, with black talisman patterns on its surface, and its hair has turned red as fire.

Goddess Mengpo hooked her finger, took the ghost baby out of the alchemy furnace, and threw it at Jiang Xinghuo's feet. Then she turned the alchemy furnace back into a small tripod and stuffed it back into her stomach.

"Mr. Lang..."

The goddess Meng Po twisted her willow-like waist, tapped the ground with her toes, walked to Jiang Xinghuo's side, put her hands around his neck, her red lips exuding a mouth-watering fragrance, and slowly approached Jiang Xinghuo.

"It's time for you to go back."

Jiang Xinghuo ignored the beauty in front of him, forcibly pulled down the hands of the Goddess Meng Po, and seriously started the disaster of prison.

The resentment in Meng Po's eyes seemed real, and her white teeth bit her lower lip lightly. She looked very charming, as if blaming Jiang Xinghuo for being unromantic.

But Jiang Xinghuo remained unmoved, so God Mengpo had to enter the Prison of Disaster and return to Jiang Xinghuo's body.

Only then did Jiang Xinghuo finally let go of his worries.

The reason why he rejected the goddess Meng Po so decisively was not because he was hypocritical, but mainly because he couldn't get over the psychological barrier.

Even though Goddess Meng Po is now graceful and charming, he has witnessed the true form of Goddess Meng Po with his own eyes in the Fengdu Secret Realm. Anyone who has seen her once would probably find it difficult to have any more thoughts about her.

Besides, he was always somewhat wary of the Goddess Meng Po. Although he had the effect of the God-Binding and Immortal-Commanding Talisman to back him up, he always felt that Goddess Meng Po had other intentions in staying by his side. Otherwise, a God-Binding and Immortal-Commanding Talisman alone might not be able to control a ghost god from the old secular world like Goddess Meng Po.

At this time, the ghost baby on the ground also woke up, crawled towards Jiang Xinghuo using its hands and feet, and hugged Jiang Xinghuo's calf like a little koala.

The corners of Jiang Xinghuo's mouth twitched. Although this little thing still looked ugly, at least it no longer had the stench of a corpse. Moreover, according to the information conveyed by Goddess Meng Po, in the new memories it instilled in the ghost baby, it was the ghost baby's father and Goddess Meng Po was the ghost baby's mother. No wonder the ghost baby was so intimate with it.

If he had not seen it with his own eyes, he would not have believed that the effect of Meng Po Soup was so magical that it could actually change the memory of an evil ghost.

The way Meng Po God makes soup is also very strange. She doesn't do any special movements, she just hooks her fingers, and after finally becoming the ghost bride of the ghost Xie, she turns into a pot of freshly-made Meng Po soup.

Jiang Xinghuo pondered for a while, unfolded the ancient Bodhi hell obtained from the Xuanyuan Emperor's Mausoleum, and placed the ghost baby within the protection range of the Bodhi tree.

The Bodhi tree did not cause any harm to the ghost baby. Instead, it stretched out a branch, dragged the ghost baby up and put it on the tree branch.

Jiang Xinghuo was relieved and observed for a while. Seeing that nothing was wrong, he put away the Bodhi Ancient Hell and left the Ghost Bride's room.
