The disciple of Yue Lao

Chapter 142 The Love Story of Yue Lao and Meng Po

"You should still wear it..." Xia Yu advised.

"no need."

Luo Fan returned the watch, held his bicycle with one hand, and asked in a low voice without even looking at Xia Yu: "If it's a fairy, you can go home safely without me sending you home, right?"

"Yes." Xia Yu replied.

Luo Fan nodded, turned around dejectedly, and pushed his bicycle back.

After Luo Fan left, Xia Yu threw the watch away and disappeared in the community in an instant.

……

【Land God Temple】

The squirrel demon Xiaoxin was taken home by Xia Yu. As soon as she returned to her room, Xia Yu let it out of her bag.

Xia Yu put Xiao Xin on the ground and trapped it with magic so that it could not go anywhere.

She lay on her soft big bed, flipping through the ancient book that fell from Xiaoxin with great interest.

"Records of the Gods in Heaven..." Xia Yu turned to the first page of the ancient book and read out the five-word title written on it. He wondered: Why is this ancient book in the hands of a little demon?

There are many gods involved in the book. The ones Xia Yu has seen so far are: the Sun God, the Moon God, Chang'e, the seven princesses, the Weaver Girl, Jin Zha, the God of Food, Marshal Tianpeng... Yue Lao?
"Master?"

"Did he really have a relationship before?"

Xia Yu suddenly sat up in shock, excitedly turned to the pages about Yue Lao, and read them word for word.

The subheading on the first page reads: The tragic love story between Yue Lao, the quasi-god of heaven, and Meng Po, the quasi-goddess of the underworld.

Xia Yu thought of what Yan Lan said again. He didn't expect that the "quasi-god" she was talking about was actually my master.

Ancient books record in detail the past affairs of Yue Lao and Meng Po.

[Legend has it that a long, long time ago, a man and a woman were chosen by the Jade Emperor to be the quasi-god of heaven and the quasi-god of the underworld, namely Yue Lao and Meng Po.

But before they became gods, the Jade Emperor prepared one final test for them.

In order to successfully pass the test of the Jade Emperor, the two of them always practiced together.

However, what was unexpected was that over time, the two people actually fell in love with each other.

When the Jade Emperor found out, he was furious and thought they had violated his orders, so he ordered them to be severely punished. (After all, gods were not allowed to fall in love at that time, so they were "knowingly committing a crime.")
In order to separate the two, the Jade Emperor punished Yue Lao: wherever he stepped, thorns would grow from the ground and pierce his feet; and Meng Po was punished to become extremely ugly, with wrinkles on her face like blooming chrysanthemums, making her look like an old woman.

Yue Lao knew that Meng Po cared very much about her appearance, so he cast a spell to break all the mirrors in the world.

In order to be together, they went to the Forgotten River in the underworld, because only by living in the water can the place where Yue Lao steps not be covered with thorns.

However, the reflection in the Wangchuan River made Meng Po see her ugly appearance. She couldn't face herself, and couldn't face her beloved man with such an appearance.

So Meng Po left quietly.

She tried to avoid Yue Lao everywhere, but he kept chasing her. The thorns under his feet pricked his soles and made them bleed.

Wherever the blood from Yue Lao's feet went, red flowers blossomed. These were the red spider lilies on the Yellow Springs Road in the underworld. Now they have become the only beautiful scenery on the Yellow Springs Road.

Finally, after chasing in vain, Yue Lao returned to heaven and helped people find their love, becoming Yue Lao.

After hearing this, Meng Po simply returned to the underworld, made "Meng Po Soup" by the Wangchuan River, and became Meng Po.

It is said that those who drink "Meng Po Soup" can forget their grudges and find their love again.

Yue Lao and Meng Po, one in the sky is in charge of marriage, the other in the underworld cuts off the love. From then on, the two were separated by Yin and Yang, and would never meet again.

〔★★Note: The above-mentioned legend of "Yue Lao and Meng Po" is quoted from "Baidu". 〕

……

Seeing this, Xia Yu couldn't calm down and continued to read. She spread out her palm, and Yan Lan's purple medicine bottle instantly appeared in her hand.

Xia Yu had heard her master mention the stories about the gods and immortals in the book, so she believed in the story about "her master and Meng Po" in the book.

Anyway, there is no movement from the "Son of the Demon King" now, and they have not found any useful clues about the "Taibai Jinxing God".

If we can take this opportunity to help Meng Po, maybe we can make something good happen.

The problem was that Yan Lan was definitely unwilling to exchange faces with Lan Tian in order to spend time with her. Moreover, after they exchanged faces, she didn't know whether Yan Lan would use her identity and appearance to do something bad.

Just in case, before meeting Yan Lan, Xia Yu planned to meet Hua Changyi and Lan Tian first.

He told Hua Changyi that he hoped he could keep an eye on Yan Lan at all times to prevent her from doing anything out of line. At the same time, he also wanted Hua Changyi to be mentally prepared that he would have to find the Taibai Jinxing God alone during this period of time.

The reason for telling Lan Tian was simple, it was to protect him and stop him from saying anything to her. Because the person with the face of "Xia Yu" recently was most likely not Xia Yu himself.

As for Luo Fan, Xia Yu hesitated for a moment and decided not to meet him.

After tonight, he probably won't look for her again, right?

It just so happened that Yan Lan was unwilling to pay attention to Luo Fan. Taking this opportunity to make him stop thinking about her was also a good choice.

Xia Yu wanted to find Yan Lan, but she had no intention of releasing the squirrel demon Xiao Xin. Instead, she asked the God of Land to give it some food every day and locked it in her room.

……

the next day.

After meeting Hua Changyi, Xia Yu went to Lan Tian's school and told him that she wanted to exchange faces with Yan Lan.

After giving Lan Tian instructions, Xia Yu went straight to find Yan Lan.

Worried that Yan Lan would not agree, Xia Yu used a little trick to trick Yan Lan into coming over.

Yan Lan was originally preparing to look for a job on the street, when Xia Yu suddenly used a magic to take her to the street...a public toilet.

"I'll give you your medicine back."

Xia Yu threw the purple medicine bottle lightly and it flew towards Yan Lan.

Just as Yan Lan was about to reach out to take it, the lid of the purple medicine bottle suddenly opened, and the medicine inside blew into Yan Lan's stomach like the wind.

At the same time, Xia Yu also drank half of the potion in her hand. She had poured it out of the purple potion bottle before meeting Yan Lan.

Yan Lan watched with satisfaction as Xia Yu drank the other half of the bottle of potion. She secretly chanted a spell, and then the two of them really exchanged their appearances.

"You stole my medicine!" Yan Lan pretended to be angry and questioned Xia Yu. Looking at her own face, she was extremely excited: "Aren't you a god? Would a god do such a 'stealing' thing?"

"Borrow it for me. I'll buy you a bottle and return it to you later."

Xia Yu looked at his own face opposite him, and looked Yan Lan up and down. He felt that she was missing a marriage bracelet on her hand, so he took the initiative to change a fake one for her to wear.

Xia Yu had no idea that what Yan Lan was happiest about was exchanging faces with her.
