"Where's Shopkeeper Yu?" Po Meng asked curiously when she couldn't see the person she expected.
"I'm at the inn, I came out alone." Bai Gaoxing guarded the city guard, "You have something to do with shopkeeper Yu?"
"Someone was chasing me, and I thought that if he was nearby, he could help me support myself," said Po Meng.
She glanced at the city guard, "Do you need me to save you?"
Saving people is a good deed, but killing people because of it is not considered evil.
"What do you think?" Bai Gaoxing said.
"Okay then", she rubbed her hands and cracked her knuckles, "I haven't killed anyone for a long time, so it's just a good time to stretch my muscles."
After she left the inn, she only induced people to commit suicide. It had been a long time since she had done it herself, and she was still a little itchy for a while.
"By the way, why did they offend you?" Po Meng asked casually.
"You didn't offend me." Bai Gaoxing said.
Po Meng was startled, "I didn't offend you? Then you offended them?"
She looked like a bird of prey, "Hey, you're not a demon hunter, why are you with the monsters?"
"It's a long story, so don't ask." Bai Gaoxing pointed at the city guards in front of him, "Let's solve the difficulties before us first."
"What kind of difficulty is this? Don't be afraid of me, the ghost saint, here." Meng Po generously patted Bai Xingxin's shoulder and took a step forward.
"Ghost Saint?" The surrounding city guards were stunned and all took a step back.
The leader of the city guards on the horse also retreated subconsciously, "Ghost Saint!"
Perhaps it was Bai Gaoxing's illusion, but he saw that the horses were much quieter.
"What's that? My son is just blind. It doesn't matter. We'll wait for you to finish your business and come back to do justice to him."
A big businessman is worthy of being a big businessman, he knows how to adapt to changes, say a word with a dry smile, turn around and leave.
The leader of the city guard also reacted, "Since the perpetrators are no longer pursuing the case, we will give up."
He called to his men, "Retreat quickly, retreat."
Six months ago, more than a hundred people in Shahe City hanged themselves together in the woods south of the city and followed the ghost saint.
The city guards still remember that when they entered the woods, they saw people hanging from the trees and asking them to stick out their tongues.
Since then, the water forest south of Shahe City has become a ghost forest, and no one dares to go in during the day.
The ghost saint even made their expressions change as they talked, fearing that if they stayed with her for a while longer or said a few more words, they would hang themselves out.
In the blink of an eye, all the city guards retreated. The Rakshasa bird raised its head, and the city guard who had just shot the arrow retracted his neck and fled around the city wall.
Bai Gaoxing was so surprised that he walked to Po Meng and said, "Okay, Po Meng, your name is more useful here than the shopkeeper's."
Po Meng put down her hands in disappointment. Finally, they had a chance to kill, but they all ran away.
"The shopkeeper won't let you do evil. What unscrupulous things have you done here? Are they so afraid of you?" Bai Gaoxing asked again.
"Then you have wronged me," said Po Meng, "I just showed some people a way to become stronger."
It’s hard to tell the exact route. Po Meng knew that Bai was happy and kind, but if he went back and stabbed Yu Sheng, she would be in trouble.
"Can you tell me what's going on now?" Po Meng looked at the Rakshasa Bird.
"Did you run away with her? That's not right, your boy is obviously devoted to An Fang," said Po Meng.
Bai Gaoxing smiled bitterly and told about how he left the inn, traveled to the north, tracked and fought with Rakshasa birds, and how to save her.
As they talked, they climbed up the city wall. The city guards were no longer here.
With the help of Po Meng, Bai Gao and the others flew down the city wall, and then stayed in the woods, waiting for Atai to come out.
After listening to Bai Gaoxing's story, Po Meng said happily: "I said what I said, what I said!"
Bai looked at her happily, not knowing what in the story he told made him so happy.
Po Meng said: "I said that people can only become stronger after death. Look, this is a clear proof."
She pointed at the Rakshasa bird, "Before you die, you are defenseless and can only suffer humiliation; after you die, you become stronger and you can take revenge."
"What a good death, what a good death." Po Meng was very happy.
"You!" The Rakshasa bird next to him, which had been quiet all this time, was furious and grabbed Po Meng with one claw.
"Be careful!" Bai Gaoxing shouted behind him.
As soon as he finished speaking, "bang", the Rakshasa bird fell to the ground and rolled several times.
"Don't worry, she can't hurt me." Mrs. Meng tidied the dust on her clothes.
"I told her to be careful." Bai Xingxing went to help Rakshasa Bird, but saw that she had fainted.
"Don't worry, it's nothing serious," said Mrs. Meng, "I just want her to sleep quietly for a while."
She looked at Bai Gaoxuan: "What should you do? Seriously, don't go back to the inn and follow her to hunt down her enemy?"
Bai Gaoxing said "Hmm" and asked Po Meng, "What about you, why didn't you go back to the ghost town?"
Po Meng waved her hand: "Don't mention it. Not only Shen Tu and Yu Lei, but also others are chasing me now. I plan to go south to take shelter."
She smiled and said, "The south side is also Shopkeeper Yu's territory after all."
"Who else is chasing you?" Bai Gaoxing was confused.
"It's just a bunch of ghosts, don't mention them. Come, it's a rare occasion to get together, let's have a drink." Po Meng took out a jar of wine from behind her back.
She also had a paper bag with roast chicken inside. As soon as she opened it, the aroma filled her nostrils.
Before the battle, Bai Gaoxing only ate a few mouthfuls of dried meat to satisfy his hunger. Now that he was already hungry, he quickly grabbed a chicken leg and bit into it.
"Well, although it's not as good as the one made by the shopkeeper, it's still delicious." Bai Gaoxing said vaguely.
"That's right, this is Shahe City's unique local sand grouse." Po Meng also tore off a chicken leg and started to chew on it.
The two sat on the floor. Po Meng asked, and Bai happily answered, telling about the changes in the inn after Po Meng left.
After hearing that Yu Sheng had defeated Old Man Tiandao, Po Meng's eyes sparkled and she shouted "Okay"!
"By the way, there's something you need to know." Bai Gaoxing took Po Meng's wine jar and was about to take a sip when he felt a burning sensation in his throat.
"What a strong wine." Bai Gaoxing was surprised and picked up the wine jar to look at it.
"This is the roasted knife from the Central Plains. Although it is not as delicious as the shopkeeper's wine, it is very good for refreshing and warming you up when you are on the road at night." Po Meng took the wine jar and took a sip.
Bai Gaoxing nodded and continued: "Do you know who the shopkeeper's father is?"
Po Meng wiped her mouth with her sleeve, "I know, Lao Yu, when I was sealed by Yu Sheng's mother, he was watching from the side."
Bai Gaoxing shook his head, "That's just a fake identity. Guess again, do you think King Donghuang will give birth to a son for an innkeeper?"
Only then did Meng Po get interested, "Could it be the lord of a certain city?"
"You really look down on King Donghuang. Guess bigger and bolder." Bai Gaoxing encouraged her.
"Could it be the King of Northern Wilderness!" Po Meng's eyes widened.
She slapped her thigh and said, "Hey, I should have thought of it earlier. When Shopkeeper Yu was born, there was such a big commotion in Beihuang. Maybe it was caused by the birth of King Beihuang's son."
"Ahem", Bai Gaoxing was choked by Po Meng's bold imagination, "Your guess is too bold."
"It's not you who asked me to make a bold guess." Po Meng rolled her eyes at him.
"Let me tell you, the shopkeeper's father is a god-killer!"
"What!" Po Meng lost her mind for a while.
Po Meng's lifelong wish was to make human beings stronger, no longer oppressed and enslaved by gods, and no longer insulted by monsters.
Naturally, the god-killer who stood up for humanity and dared to kill gods with one man and one sword became her belief.
"When Old Man Tiandao took action, the God Killer also appeared." Just as Po Meng came back to her senses, Bai Gaoxing's words surprised her again.
