monster restaurant

There is a fish in Darknorth, its name is Kun, and the size of Kun is unknown for thousands of miles.It turns into a bird, its name is Peng.Peng's back, I don't know how many thousands of miles away it is; it flies in anger, its wings are like clouds hanging from the sky.

——from Zhuangzi's "Happy Journey"

In fact, what we are talking about is that there is such a big monster as Kunpeng, which actually existed in the prehistoric period. He even went to Hongjun Taoist to attend a class, but this is not the point. The point is that he runs into the water like a fish, and flies into the sky Birds, and they are so big that they can be described as thousands of miles.

So is Kunpeng a fish or a bird?Li Qingming is not very clear about this, he has never seen the real Kunpeng, and he doesn't know what his soul looks like, but the Luo Xiaomei in front of him has similarities with Kunpeng.

There are many ways of death for Kunpeng in myths and legends. Apart from his relatively large size, he is just a very ordinary monster. It is not difficult to kill him, as long as he is stronger than him.But now Li Qingming's purpose is not Luo Xiaomei's death, but to know why he can become a ghost-faced butterfly, and how to seamlessly switch between the two states.

In the evening, the restaurant was bustling with activity, almost all the dining tables were covered with customers, everyone was so busy that they kept serving dishes, and the kitchen was also in full swing. Non-stop cooking, fresh ingredients are constantly decreasing.Occasionally, Ah Gui would come out of his resting room to take a look and help distribute the ingredients so that the people on the stove could use them more easily, which would save time.

In the hall, a little monster with a khaki peaked cap on its head, a beautiful little suit, and shiny leather shoes, giggling and chasing after the night candle, said while running: "Don't be shy, let's play house. I will be a 250-year-old father, you will be a [-]-year-old father, and we have a [-]-year-old son." Nowhere took out a teddy bear puppet and patted it, indicating that this was their son.

Like human cubs, little ones also like this seemingly naive, but very beneficial to understand the relationship between family members and learn to deal with such a relationship.This is the behavior of cubs imitating adults, and it is the easiest way to learn. Not only humans do this, but also animals. As for the little monsters, although they are hundreds of years old, they still like this kind of game very much.

But Ye Zhu obviously thought he was an adult, and he landed on Li Qingming's shoulder, expressing his rejection with flashes all over his body.

Touching Yezhu's wings soothingly, Li Qingming picked up a snack and stuffed it into his mouth when the little monster came, touched his head and said: "I know where Mr. Luo Xiaomei is, you can How about going to him to learn how to sing?"

"Okay, okay." The little monster nodded quickly, puffing up his cheeks.

Seeing the little guy running to find the ghost-faced butterfly hiding in the corner, Li Qingming laughed silently. He felt a little dazed, and felt that the world in the play had become real, so Luo Xiaomei was able to make Luo Xiaomei a human being. It's a ghost-faced butterfly again. This is really an absurd conclusion, but it's so close to the truth that people can't find an excuse to refute it.

Because of the request of the cute little monster over there, Ghost Face Butterfly quickly turned into Luo Xiaomei, who was slender, stood up, cleared his throat and began to sing.Such a mellow and sad tone, as well as the gorgeous costumes on his body, opened the eyes of the customers. They felt that the service of the restaurant was getting better and better. Some people couldn't help but send their own cubs to the counter to give tips.

Li Qingming beckoned Mao Zhu to come over. He carefully picked up the Shanhe brush, thinking of an illusory space, drew a circle on the paper, and then hurriedly stuffed the Shanhe brush into his arms.The middle of the circle on the paper turned into white mist, as if there were undulating mountains in it. The painting claimed to be a world. This is the creation ability of Shanhe Brush, but it was too expensive to draw such a circle. Li Qingming All the breaths in the body were exhausted, and the mind went blank for a moment.

"Boss!" Zhang Beiji immediately leaned over and pressed his hand on the paper. It was rare for him to lower his head and kiss Li Qingming's lips with a cold face. Boss, what are you doing with this? If I had known, I could have picked up the Shanhe brush, and maybe I could have created a little sun!"

"Look at him." Li Qingming took a breath, picked up the white paper, and through the beauty and beauty of it seemed to be real, the small world looked at Luo Xiaomei standing there.

The facial expressions are clearly visible, and Luo Xiaomei's charming eyes can be clearly seen, which makes Li Qingming feel that he is real and not some illusory world in the play.But when he finished singing, nodded slightly to the customers, and then turned into a ghost-faced butterfly, the space around him suddenly distorted slightly, as if the ghost-faced butterfly appeared at the moment Luo Xiaomei disappeared.

"Ghost-faced butterfly." Li Qingming opened his eyes slightly and let the ghost-faced butterfly fly over. He gently touched the other's broken wing and asked softly, "Where did you come from? Where did Luo Xiaomei go?" Yes, just now Li Qingming saw clearly how Luo Xiaomei turned into a ghost-faced butterfly through the paper world. Luo Xiaomei and ghost-faced butterfly are both the same person, but they are two different individuals. It seems contradictory to say this, but the thing is Such.

It's like two parallel worlds in different spaces, but only the same thought exists, and this thought can control Luo Xiaomei in this world, or the ghost-faced butterfly.In this way, Li Qingming and everyone would think that Luo Xiaomei and Ghost Face Butterfly were the same individual, but in fact they were different individuals.When Luo Xiaomei appeared, the ghost-faced butterfly entered another sub-world without thoughts, and it was the same when the ghost-faced butterfly appeared.

The black tentacles swayed slightly, and the ghost butterfly flapped its broken wings and flew up unsteadily. He flew around Li Qingming and said, "Sure enough, I can't hide anything from you. Li Qingming, you are really just An ordinary person? I have never been able to see your real appearance, can you tell me whether you are a human... or something?"

With lowered eyes and curled black eyelashes, Li Qingming avoided the other party's question and asked directly: "Is the other world you live in an ordinary sub-world, or is it an incomplete small world created by me?" Same? Are there some fatal flaws?" The circle on the paper seems to hide a small world, but it's just an appearance, Li Qingming's body is not spiritual enough, so he can only make the world on the paper similar in appearance but not in spirit. There is still a lot of work to do to make this world a reality.

Over there, Zhang Beiji came over, stretched out his hands to pinch the wings of the ghost-faced butterfly, and said with a smile: "Boss, will this guy emit pheromones to court and then lay eggs like butterflies in the animal world? In the future, there will be many butterflies in our restaurant." Ghost-faced butterfly?"

"No, there is only one ghost-faced butterfly in this world." Li Qingming sighed and signaled Zhang Beibei to let go of the dark red butterfly. He stood up and had to go to Han's house again.

He has always been caught in a misunderstanding, thinking that Luo Xiaomei provided Han Lang with her family wealth, but never thought about the origin of the family wealth. If the origin of the family wealth is the same as that of the ghost-faced butterfly, then how to solve the matter.If all the family wealth does not belong to this world, Luo Xiaomei provided it to Han Lang without authorization, and cheated the heavens to let the Han family rise. Li Qingming didn't know how to deal with the twists and turns.

I said these words to Erbaiwu, who looked at Li Qingming in a daze, and asked, "Boss, why can't I understand what you said?"

"You understand." Li Qingming explained softly, "You see, we went to the poker world before, although it had some impact on it and left the old man guarding the space crack, but we didn't leave anything that could disturb the poker world. , and did not bring out the poker people there, this is the law between the two worlds, and they cannot pass through each other. Of course, there were characters in the book who crossed over to our world, and that rarely happened. Now Luo Xiaomei and Ghost Face Butterfly travel seamlessly between the two worlds, and the finances in his hands probably all come from that world... Then his actions like this have broken the balance of our world..."

Still looking at Li Qingming in a daze, Zhang Beibei simply said: "I don't understand anyway, I will do whatever the boss tells me to do." He happily took out snacks, stuffed some into Li Qingming's mouth, I also ate it myself.

Seeing Erbaiwu relaxed, Li Qingming also threw away those thoughts and stopped thinking about it.Since Luo Xiaomei can hide it from the way of heaven, why should he think so much, and act in accordance with the way of heaven, so that he can live for a long time.

The last time I came to the Han's house to break up with the owner, and now he took the initiative to come to the door again, Li Qingming was not embarrassed at all, and asked Zhang Beibei to present rose sauce as a meeting gift.

The Patriarch of the Han family is also very generous, he took the initiative to say: "I don't know if the master came to the humble house, do you have any advice?"

"The Han family theater can open now. I suggest that we should focus on old plays and not make any innovations." Li Qingming said gently, "The feng shui there is very good, so don't worry about customers and wealth. In the future, the Han family can build the theater at a low cost." The landmark of the city, if it develops smoothly, it may be able to go international in the future, it depends on the management of the Han family."

Seeing the young man coming down from the upstairs, Li Qingming said, "Mr. Han stay."

He had a strange feeling in his heart, as if this Mr. Han might disappear at any time, but looking closely at his face, he could see that he would live a safe and prosperous life in the future.Thinking of what he said in the theater, Li Qingming suddenly understood something. Maybe he thought wrong at the beginning. The reason why the Han family is prosperous is the gold mountain sent by Luo Xiaomei, and Luo Xiaomei himself said that he doesn't care about the Han family.

At that time, Li Qingming was struggling with the so-called fairness under the Dao of Heaven, but Luo Xiaomei's gold mountain was not taken from this world, so the karma under the Dao of Heaven does not count.

Then the problem went back to the original point, and it was extremely simple. Luo Xiaomei's goal was always this Mr. Han, and this Mr. Han always wanted to get rid of Luo Xiaomei, just because he didn't want to compromise on certain things.

The things he encountered all the time were relatively simple and rough, and he solved it with his fists if he couldn't make sense. This was the first time that Li Qingming was so brain-burning that he even got into a corner unconsciously.He left the Han's house and went to find Luo Xiaomei, only to see him sitting on a stool, putting on his makeup carefully.

"Am I pretty?" Luo Xiaomei asked with a smile.

"It looks good." Li Qingming replied objectively.

"That's good." Luo Xiaomei carefully painted her lips red, let her long hair loose, and then rolled it up bit by bit. Finally, she put on a beautiful phoenix crown, picked up the big red wedding dress that was set aside, and wore it one by one. Above, just like the photo that Li Qingming found at the beginning.

He sat on the chair with a gentle smile, and then his body disappeared bit by bit. He seemed to be teasing and said to Li Qingming: "You are a smart person, but you have already guessed it, but this has nothing to do with you. As for the Han family... I don't take it to heart."

The photo with a sense of age quickly disappeared. Li Qingming looked at it blankly, and saw another new photo appeared. It was still a bright red wedding dress and a gentle smile, but this time he was no longer alone. Sitting beside him was Mr. Han in a suit with a serious expression.
