Chapter 16 Sweet (1)
【Land God】

Under a big locust tree at the entrance of the village, there is a dilapidated earth temple.The ground in the temple is like a dilapidated, mana-less mana, and no one worships it.

It is said that decades ago, the land god in the temple met a girl who came to worship, fell in love with the girl at first sight, and then violated the rules of heaven, and wanted to marry her privately.Unexpectedly, the good times didn't last long, and the behavior of the land god was learned by the heaven.The Emperor of Heaven was furious and punished the girl by executing the girl and exiling the God of Earth to suffer for ten years.

The God of Earth looked for people everywhere and begged, worshiped all the immortals, and was willing to give everything in exchange for the girl's life.

A Shangxian was moved by the sincerity of the land god and pleaded in front of the Heavenly Emperor, and the girl's life was finally saved.However, the land god was exiled for 30 more years.

From the day the land god disappeared, the girl lived in the temple, staying at home all day long, devoting herself to practice.40 years have passed in a flash, and the young girl has also been worn down into an old man by the years.On the day the land god's exile ended, the old man got up early, washed up, and waited for the appearance of the land god, but there was no sign of him until evening.

The little demon nearby persuaded her: "The land god must have forgotten you, what are you waiting for?"

The old man just shook his head, still living in the temple, practicing day after day.

On this day, a group of robbers suddenly broke into the temple. They smashed the temple and robbed property.The vicious leader swung his knife and slashed at the old man.

At the critical moment, the elderly land god appeared with a cane, and with a flash of light, the robber was thrown away.

"Although the old man is old, he is still a god." The Land God stroked his beard with a smile, "You are quite courageous. You dare to come to my place and run amok while I am not around."

Before he could finish speaking, a puff of green smoke suddenly emitted from the robber's body, and he instantly turned into a scarecrow.The land god was surprised, only to see that the woman behind him became young and was wearing a wedding dress.

"As expected, you are still by my side." The girl said.

"Oh, why are you so stupid!" The God of Earth came to his senses and sighed, "Human beings have different paths, if the Emperor of Heaven knows, how can he spare you?"

"I have practiced in this temple for decades, and you don't even look at it. Does this temple recognize me or you?" The girl covered her face and smiled, "Do you think so, Lord Heavenly Emperor?"

A cold snort came from the sky, and the brilliance burst out, and the god statue in the temple suddenly turned into the appearance of a girl.

【White Pond】

A boy roams the streets alone.Although it was late at night, for him, it was the most relaxing moment of the day.

The memory started from that night three days ago, and the boy could hardly remember anything before that.Ever since he woke up, he has been chased by a monster. No matter how he tries to avoid it, the monster with the head of a sheep and the body of a lion will always find him.

The teenager once saw the image of this monster in an ancient book.

Bai Ze is said to be a divine beast that can seek good fortune and avoid evil, and is worshiped as a god of exorcising ghosts.But judging from the current situation, it is obviously not the case. The "divine beast" is very vicious. If the young man hadn't dodged fast enough, he would have been torn apart and swallowed by it countless times.

On the second day after being hunted down, the boy finally learned why Bai Ze was chasing him.At noon that day, he looked at his feet illuminated by the sun and smiled wryly.

"There is no shadow..." The boy said sadly to himself, "So I am already dead... For other living people, hunting and killing me is the real way to avoid evil..."

The young man packed up his mood and continued to avoid Bai Ze's pursuit.He knew that he might not be able to hide for long, but it would be a kind of luck for him to survive for one more day.He didn't want to give up on this, he wanted to restore his memory to the best of his ability, meet his parents, relatives and friends, and know the reason of his death.

The bell rang at twelve o'clock in the middle of the night, and Bai Ze's three-hour rest every day ended.

An hour later, the boy was finally blocked by the alley behind the hospital by Bai Ze.He looked around in fear, and there was nowhere to escape.

Bai Ze rushed forward fiercely.The young man screamed, probably because his potential was stimulated at the critical moment of life and death, and he did not know where the strength came from, and suddenly climbed over the extremely high wall of the hospital.

"Success!" The attending physician exclaimed in surprise as he watched the boy's electrocardiogram gradually stabilize.He walked out of the emergency room with a sigh of relief, and said to the teenager's parents: "The patient is out of danger. Next, he just needs to heal the fractures caused by the car accident."

At the same time as the boy opened his eyes, the ferocious beast in the back street of the hospital smiled slightly and disappeared into the night.

【Meng Po】

"Grandma Meng, I don't want to drink Po Meng's soup." The little girl said timidly.Her ten fingers were entwined in front of her lower abdomen, visibly tense.

Po Meng froze for a moment, stopped scooping up the soup, raised her head, and looked at the little girl in surprise, trying to see her face clearly.Po Meng frowned slightly, as if she was recalling something, and after a while she asked, "Why?"

"Because the world is great." Seeing that Po Meng didn't directly reject her, the little girl raised her head expectantly, "There are parents who love me very much, there are friends who play with me all the time, and there are cute puppies. There are beautiful stars and warm sunshine."

"The world won't change because you drank Meng Po soup." Meng Po said, "You are reincarnated, these things will still exist, and you will still experience them."

"But that's different." The girl said anxiously.

The people who were waiting to be reincarnated behind were a little impatient, and started yelling at the little girl.Seeing that the little girl was about to cry, Po Meng stood up abruptly, and said loudly, "Shut up, my old lady, or I will throw you off Naihe Bridge!"

Everyone fell silent.

"I can't break the rules." Po Meng sat down and said softly, "People who have not lost their memory are absolutely not allowed to be reincarnated."

"Then...then can I stay here first, and wait for others..."

Meng Po was startled again, and said softly: "I will wait for many years."

The girl stayed and chatted with Po Meng every day by the Naihe Bridge, telling her about the changes in the outside world. "You really resemble her." Occasionally, Granny Meng would suddenly sigh like this, and when the little girl asked deeply, she would smile again and not answer.

A few months passed in the blink of an eye, and a ghost suddenly descended on this day, standing in front of the Naihe Bridge, trying to arrest the girl.She stayed for too long, and finally touched Hades' bottom line.

"No matter what, I will help you realize this wish... It can be regarded as my repayment." Granny Meng said softly, waving a red silk in front of the ghost messenger.

"Come on, just like before!"

The battle lasted for three days and three nights, and the underworld was turned upside down, but Po Meng was defeated in the end.She drank the soup, lost her memory, was sent to hell to suffer, and then reincarnated in the human world, and has since lost news.The girl took over the seat of Meng Po, and she did not directly reincarnate as she wished.

Decades later, Po Meng scooped up a spoonful of soup as usual, and before pouring it into a bowl, a timid voice said, "Grandma Meng, I don't want to drink Po soup."

Po Meng froze for a moment, before she could speak, someone shouted behind her and interrupted her thoughts.

Hades rushed over in a hurry, panting and wiping his sweat, he said, "I'm afraid of you, it's been 99 reincarnations, don't continue."

"The Emperor of Heaven has ordered you two to be promoted to heaven as immortals with the deepest sincerity."

【killer】

The man is a crappy killer. Since he entered this line of work, he has participated in dozens of missions, but he has never succeeded.Fortunately, he has a strong partner who saves his life almost every time.

The man's partner is a girl who looks younger than the man, but is the top killer on the leaderboard.

"You may be born with bad luck." The girl persuaded, "Don't do this job, not everyone is suitable for this industry. We have made so much money, now we can retire together, open a small shop, and live Very well."

The man smiled and said, "I'm unlucky, don't you still have you? Assassin's business is pretty good, I want to keep doing it."

The girl was silent for a while, then sighed and said, "I might not accompany you to participate in the next mission. I took on a big job, and you can't handle it. Hmm... Maybe we won't be together in the future."

"That's true..." The man was stunned for a moment, and then smiled wryly, "I'm so bad, I've always been your burden. Without me, you probably would have had a better development."

"This is an ancestral pocket watch in my family, and it should be kept as a souvenir." The girl looked at the man with complicated eyes, and stuffed a pocket watch into his hand.She hesitated to speak, and finally said nothing.

The man took part in the mission again. I don't know if it's because of the girl's absence. This time the mission is much more difficult than before.

The bullet rushed in, and the man felt as if his chest had been hit by a sledgehammer, and he flew backwards.His eyes were blurred and he gradually lost consciousness.At the same time, there was a bomb explosion.

The smoke cleared, and in the dust-covered corner, the man's fingers moved.

The man sat up with difficulty and spat out blood.He touched his chest, where there was a deformed pocket watch.The bullet hit the pocket watch just now, which saved the man from death.

"I still want you to save me..." The man looked at the photo of the girl in his pocket watch and suddenly laughed out loud.Then, he took out his phone with difficulty and called the girl.

"Shall we retire?" he said. "I want to marry you."

On the rooftop, the girl moved away from the scope and said with a sweet smile, "Okay."

Tens of seconds ago, she took a risk and shifted the muzzle of the gun slightly, aiming at the pocket watch on the man's chest.

【Jianghu】

"Master, Master," the little Taoist said, tugging at the hem of Master's robe, in a childish voice, "What is it like in the Jianghu?"

"Jianghu—" The old Taoist stroked his beard and said with a smile, "That is a wonderful world, much richer than our small Taoist temple. It is full of goodwill and..."

Having said that, the old Taoist paused, his eyebrows froze, and then stretched out.Then, he said in a firm tone: "It is a place full of good intentions."

The little Taoist remembered this sentence, and has been full of longing for the rivers and lakes below the mountain for many years.Time flies, ten years have passed, and the little Taoist priest has reached the year of weak crown.On his birthday, he packed up his luggage, said goodbye to his master, and went down the mountain to practice.

The mountain road was difficult, and the little Taoist walked for a whole day, and when he arrived at the nearest inn, it was almost midnight.The little Taoist knocked on the door of the inn, opened the package generously, and took out a piece of silver from a pile of broken silver and handed it to Xiao Er.

At four o'clock, a group of people broke into the little Taoist's room, robbed him of his luggage, and carried him out again.The little Taoist never expected such a thing to happen, crying and struggling all the way, but no one came to save him.

In the inn lobby, the rope on the little Taoist priest was untied, and a burly man with a fierce face sat in front of him with his legs crossed.

"How many times have I said that the world is dangerous, and the wealth should not be exposed." The big man said sadly, "Why don't you stupid Taoists have a long memory?"

The big man claimed to be the store manager.He preached for more than an hour, until he drank a few bowls of water, then returned the luggage to the little Taoist priest and let him go.The little Taoist walked out of the inn in a daze, and did not recover until he entered the city.

On the night of entering the city, the little Taoist was robbed again.The person who robbed him this time was the uncle who showed him the way.

"You look like the Taoist priest who came down from the mountain?" The uncle said earnestly, "You guys think the world is too beautiful. The world is dangerous. When you go out, don't trust others easily."

After all, the uncle returned the luggage to the little Taoist priest and let him go.

Along the way, the little Taoist was robbed more than ten times in this way.But until he got into the habit of protecting himself, he never met a real bad guy.Later, the young Taoist priest became an old Taoist priest. He inherited the master's mantle as a temple master, accepted apprentices, and spread Taoism.

That day, his new apprentice came and tugged at the hem of his clothes, and asked innocently, "Master, master, what is it like in the world?"

The old Taoist thought of those people from the rivers and lakes at the foot of the mountain, but he couldn't say the word "sinister".He paused, then said with a firm smile, "That's a place full of kindness."

【Princess】

"Discrimination is all discrimination!"

"This is too bullying! What's wrong with the devil? Can't the devil have love?!" The girl threw the cup in her hand to the ground angrily, and said through gritted teeth, "Why is everyone afraid of me? The princess is a girl, but I am not. Yet?"

In front of the girl was the rejection letter brought back by the messenger.The letter was written by the prince of the Eastern Kingdom himself, probably because of inner fear, the words were written tremblingly, without the usual atmosphere at all.

The meaning expressed in the letter can be summed up as follows: His Majesty the Demon King's aura is too strong, Xiaosheng dare not climb high.

The girl is one of the strongest demon kings in this continent and the only female demon king.Most things in this world are within her reach.Only marriage is something that she can't force no matter what - so far, everyone she has a crush on is afraid of her.

Under the throne, the military master tremblingly raised his hands.The girl calmed down, waved her hand impatiently and said, "Say it!"

"It is said that there is an evil dragon living in the ancient mountains, and anyone caught by it will reap love."

The girl's eyes lit up.

A few days later, the devil ran to the dragon's castle and yelled for the dragon to act with her.

For the first time ever, the dragon didn't work.The girl stayed in the dragon's castle for more than three months, chatting and playing cards with the dragon every day, but she didn't see a single knight barging in.At midnight that day, the girl dragged the dragon and got drunk.

"Why does everyone like princesses?" The girl hiccupped, "What makes me worse than a princess?"

"Where in the world are there so many princesses that I can catch!" The evil dragon laughed, "Besides, how could a princess marry a stranger who doesn't know the details just because she was rescued?"

"Huh?" The girl froze for a moment.

"The rescued people are the 'little princesses' of the knights. They love each other, and I'm just their bridge." The evil dragon said, "The only thing I do is to collect gold coins from the knights and pretend to lose."

"I see." The girl sighed faintly, "Thank you for playing around with me these past few months."

"Actually... There are also knights who want to save you." The dragon said suddenly, becoming coy.

The girl was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "Respected knight, are you willing to come and save me?"

The dragon put his right hand over his heart and said, "It is my honor, my little princess."

【Mushroom picking】

The young hunter frowned when he heard the scream behind him.After thinking for a while, he put down the gun that had been aimed at the prey in his hand, shrugged helplessly, turned and ran towards the mountains.

The girl sat slumped on the edge of a clearing in the forest filled with mushrooms.There was a bear trap in her lap, and the small basket in her hand fell to the ground, and the mushrooms were scattered everywhere.

"Picking mushrooms?" The boy took off the trap and took out the medicine bottle from his pocket.

"Um……"

"Don't come here to pick mushrooms in the future." The boy patted the medicine bottle and applied the powder that fell on the palm of his hand to the wound on the girl's leg. "Besides you, many animals that eat fungi also know this place." .The vast majority of these animals are either delicious meat or gorgeous fur, which is a hunter's dream game."

"Therefore, many hunters buried traps in this clearing." The young man tightened his bandages and continued, "For an untrained person like you, some of the poisoned traps are deadly. .”

The girl nodded ignorantly.

The young man sent her down the mountain and gave her some advice before returning home with peace of mind.

At dusk the next day, the teenager heard screaming again.When he hurried to the clearing, he spotted the girl again.

"Why is it you again?" The boy scolded, "Didn't I tell you last time that this place is very dangerous, you can't understand human language?"

"But there are really a lot of mushrooms in this place..." The girl wrung her fingers together and said reassuringly, "If I can pick them, I can go home early every day without being scolded by my father."

The boy finally sighed and couldn't bear to say anything more.He helped the girl bandage her injured leg again, and carried her away from the woods.

"Sorry! Sorry!" The girl kept apologizing.

The boy waved his hand, as if he was too lazy to talk nonsense.

When the girl came to the open space on the third day, the boy had already been waiting for a long time.He took out a sack full of freshly picked mushrooms and stuffed them into the girl's hands.

From that day on, whenever the girl came to the clearing, she always saw the boy.They gradually became acquainted, and with the help of the young man, she was never scolded by her father again.

Time flies, and when the girl came to the open space that day, she found that the boy had an umbrella in his hand.Seeing the girl coming, the boy opened the umbrella with a smile and turned it around twice.

The girl jumped forward and asked suspiciously: "It's not raining, what are you doing with your umbrella?"

"Look, do I look like a mushroom?"

The girl sized the boy up and nodded.

The boy took out a shiny ring and said, "May you pick it up."
