Chapter 469: Let go of yesterday’s worries, guard today’s happiness, and look forward to tomorrow’s beauty(2/2)
"It's even worse that you almost forgot about me if you didn't drink Meng Po soup!"
Po Meng glared at Hongli and said, "It's a shame I still think about you after I retire!"
"Oh, you can't blame us, can you? Seriously, your image has become so big, who can recognize it at once?"
Hong Li exclaimed, "Even just now, I only recognized your identity by guessing!"
"How has your image changed so much?"
Po Meng didn't believe Hong Li's sophistry at all: "I used to have two eyes, a nose and a mouth, but now I still have two eyes, a nose and a mouth, okay!"
"Um, is it possible that most normal humans look like what you said..."
Hongli paused and added: "There are many non-human animals that can be described as you did!"
"Ha, after all, you have worked with me in the underworld for a while, and you are still so stuck on appearance?"
Po Meng said disapprovingly: "The appearance is always ever-changing, but the soul reveals the essence.
I have worked for so many years and have seen countless people coming and going. If I could only identify them by their appearance, I would have gone wrong a long time ago!
Besides, I think my current appearance is not much different from before. Not to mention my nose, eyes, and mouth. You see, I had white hair before, and I still have white hair now. Can’t I recognize such obvious features at once?
come out?"
Hongli: "???"
No, your gray hair before was not due to old age?
What kind of obvious feature is this? It’s only normal if you can’t recognize it!
Hongli was speechless, holding her forehead and waving her hands: "Then just say yes, as long as you are happy..."
"Look at what you said. Do I look like the kind of person who speaks forcefully?"
Po Meng shook her head: "Forget it, let's not talk about that for now. Xiaoyang is also with you, right?"
"uh-huh."
Hong Li snorted softly and stretched out her hand to pull Hei Yang, who was watching on the side.
"Ah haha, long time no see, Grandma Meng!"
Hei Yang was suddenly pulled into the camera, and he quickly greeted with a smile: "Have you had a good time? How are you doing?"
"It's been a while since I last saw you."
Po Meng showed a relaxed expression and responded: "For me, retirement life is not bad. Some basic rules of the universe here have been specially edited by someone, so they are quite suitable for retirement.
Every day I bask in the sun, drink tea, take a walk and read a book. At first, I suddenly felt unaccustomed to being free, and I always felt like I was still serving soup day and night!
But after getting used to it, I got used to the pace of life here. I'm not like those adventurous young people who deliberately go to that messy universe, so I applied for a decent place to live here and live my own life.
.
And because of my initiative, most of the neighbors around me have similar living habits to me. Most of them are retired from some cosmic-level official forces, so we usually have a common language..."
After retiring, Grandma Meng obviously had a stronger desire to talk, and facing two familiar young people, Hei Yang Hongli, she couldn't even stop talking for a while, and talked about her retirement life for a long time.
But Hei Yang Hongli was not impatient. Listening to Grandma Meng's description of life was like listening to a science fiction movie, their eyes were shining and they were so envious.
It wasn't until Grandma Meng realized that she had talked a lot when she was excited, that she smiled at the two of them with some embarrassment: "We haven't seen each other for a while, and life here is really comfortable, so I accidentally talked too much.
It’s a mess.”
"No, no, we are very interested in what you said."
Hei Yang waved his hands repeatedly, showing a curious and inquiring expression, and asked: "Grandma Meng, you should know that our seniors in the travel world are also trying to find the legendary universe of complete happiness. What we are looking for is the one you are now retired from."
That place?"
"Haha, there is no such thing as complete happiness. It's just that the tone of this universe is relatively peaceful and friendly."
Po Meng smiled helplessly, waved her hand and said, "But the target you seniors are looking for is indeed in this universe.
It should have been some young people here who were unwilling to be lonely at first and ran to your side of the universe and described to some people the prosperity and peace of the universe here.
To the ears of people in your universe, it is almost like a fairy tale, so if it is passed on, it will become a completely happy universe."
"Sure enough, I was thinking before that people's pursuit of happiness is inherently different. Most people love peace, while some prefer disputes. How could there be a completely happy environment..."
Hong Li suddenly realized: "So that's it!"
"Ha, I can't help it. Rumors are always getting more and more outrageous as they spread. On the contrary, the ones passed down by your seniors are already very close to reality."
Po Meng explained with a smile: "The will of the universe here has a certain rejection of disputes, and there are also some special institutions with good reputations to maintain it.
For your world that has escaped from the war, this universe can indeed be said to be an ideal place to live."
"I see!"
Hei Yang carefully took note of Grandma Meng's words, and planned to repeat the actual situation to his seniors when he returned, and then discuss whether to change the original plan.
However, with understanding, Hei Yang's mind did gradually become clearer.
If it was the "completely happy universe" that was ambiguous and didn't really exist before, Hei Yang was actually never quite sure whether it was the world he wanted to live in.
Just like Hong Li said, if things are going wrong over there, it’s better to just maintain the stable life now, stop and move on!
After listening to Grandma Meng's explanation, Hei Yang Hongli had a definite goal: they didn't know the so-called completely happy universe, but they could definitely move towards the universe where Grandma Meng was located as their destination.
According to Grandma Meng, because of its abundant resources and the jurisdiction of special agencies, the universe there does not exclude "immigrant worlds" like Hei Yang and others.
In fact, Hei Yang and the others were not the first forerunners, there were fellow travelers who had already helped them find the way!
Therefore, after understanding the differences between the two universes, Heiyang Hongli finally woke up from wandering around in a daze outside the world's shield, and their goals gradually became clear!
But now, if you want to achieve your goals, you have a very important question to ask.
"Grandma Meng, how far away is the universe you live in now from us?"
Hei Yang asked something that seniors in the traveling world have been concerned about for thousands of years: "Are we heading in the right direction now, and how long will it take to reach our destination?"
