The cat woman continued:
Later, the court doctors of the Lord of Yama rummaged and searched for medical books, and went to the field to collect herb "medicine", came back to brew the test, and after a period of research, finally brewed a kind of "medicine" powder, once this "medicine" powder was drunk into the stomach, the past was forgotten completely.
This is the "ecstasy" soul "medicine" that ghosts are now drinking. As long as you wash it with water and let the ghosts drink it, you will immediately forget all the things in your past life.
But this "medicine" powder is concocted, how can every ghost who comes to the underworld to report drink this "medicine" soup?
So Lord Yama set up a pass on the way for this ghost to report to the underworld, which is the ghost gate.
Then send soldiers to strictly control the pass, so that every ghost who enters the pass must be forced to pour this "ecstasy" soul "medicine".
Let all the ghosts who come to the underworld stay in the underworld with peace of mind, and stop thinking about the things of the previous life in the underworld.
However, the evil ghosts who guarded the ghost gate regarded this ghost gate as their way to make money, and tortured and bloody blackmail. Because this ghost gate is too important and the power is too great, it is becoming more and more corrupt.
Niu Danzi smiled and said: "Lord Yama's scripture is a good scripture, but it was read crookedly by a crooked monk!"
The ugly woman asked again, "Then how did Lord Yama change the ghost gate in the end?"
The cat woman said: "No, Lord Yama summoned his ministers for a meeting, most of the ministers in the palace of Yama have been bribed by the black two forks, so they all have their own ghosts, shouting to stop corruption on the surface, but in their hearts they don't want to change this status quo." So the meeting lasted for ten days without any results.
At this time, Lord Yama found that there was a minister who never spoke. The minister's name is Geng Yan.
He was originally a clean official in the yang world, and because he was an honest official, upright, and impartial in enforcing the law, he often went deep into the people, visited the cold and asked about the hardships, and truly solved the practical difficulties of the people, instead of trying to make a false appearance of other bureaucrats and put on a show among the people.
He was deeply supported by the people, so he was jealous of the magnates, and because he was fair and strict, he offended the powerful people in the DPRK and China, and was jointly framed by those magnates, and was arrested and imprisoned, and finally pushed to the execution ground to be executed.
At the time of the execution, it was a scorching summer in June, heavy snow fell, and rivers froze, which became a strange injustice for the ages.
However, the palace of the king of Yama urgently needed such a Qing official to assist him in governing the underworld, so after the execution, the prince of Yama sent eighteen sedan chairs and 3,000 soldiers, and the mighty "dang" "dang" "dang" took Geng Yan to the palace of the king of Hades.
The king of Hades thought that this Geng Yan was a rare clean official with both ability and integrity, so he appointed him as the minister of justice, in charge of the judgment and punishment of right and wrong in the underworld, and assisted the king of Hades in governing the corruption and evil spirits in the court.
One day, after the court was over, Lord Yama left Geng Yan alone.
Lord Yan asked Geng Yan, "Why haven't you spoken for ten days in a row?"
Geng Yan said: "I can't open my mouth"
Lord Yama asked, "Are you infected with mouth sores?"
Geng Yan said: "No. ”
Lord Yama asked again, "Then why can't you open your mouth?"
Geng Yan said: "If I tell a lie, it is better not to say it, if I tell the truth, I will inevitably offend the civil and military officials of the court." I was in the yang world because I told the truth, I offended the civil and military officials, and I ended up in a different place, and now I have to learn some lessons. ”
Lord Yama said, "Why can you offend a hundred officials by telling the truth?"
Geng Yan said: "Great King, think about it, the little ghosts in the Ghost Gate Pass are so rampant and domineering, if there is no backer in the court, will they dare? Lend him a few dares, he will not dare to be so presumptuous.
However, there are so many high-ranking officials in the DPRK and the Central People's Republic of China that they are their backers, I don't know. But as soon as I say it, it will hurt the interests of these people, and they will hold a grudge against me, and I don't want to trip over the same stone twice!"
Lord Yama said, "There is no one else now, you can tell me what you really think." ”
Geng Yan said: "King, do you know the true situation of the Ghost Gate Pass?"
Lord Yama said: "I have sent the ministers of the DPRK and China many times to investigate and understand the Ghost Gate Pass, and they have come back to report that the Ghost Gate Pass is well managed, and the local ghosts are very satisfied with the officials of the Ghost Gate Pass, and the new ghosts have all left happily after consciously and voluntarily taking the 'ecstasy' soul 'medicine'. However, this king often receives some complaints against the officials of the ghost gate. And the rumors heard some dissatisfaction with this king.
Geng Yan said: "King, these ministers all report good news but not bad news, and they all collected hush money after they arrived at the Ghost Gate. I once went to the Ghost Gate to see it on the spot, and as soon as I entered the Ghost Gate, I heard a wail, and there was a river of blood flowing everywhere. The ghosts who paid them money could not drink the "lost" soul soup and leave with dignity, while those poor ghosts, because they could not give money to the ministers guarding the customs, were beaten to the flesh, missing arms and legs, and some were killed and thrown into the Lechuan River, and there was no proof of death. ”
Lord Yama was shocked when he heard this, and he hesitated for a while and said, "Is it so serious?"
Geng Yan said: "King, if you don't believe it, you can make a private visit and take a sneak peek to understand." ”
Lord Yama said, "I believe you are telling the truth. However, I have criticized and educated these officials a lot, and I have repeatedly demanded that the officials sent to the Ghost Gate Pass must be carefully inspected and selected officials with good conduct. Now I have to arrest a few of the officials from the ghost gate and make an example!"
Geng Yan said: "Wang: persuasion and education do not work. These are all adults, they are not three-year-old children, they don't understand anything? Punishment is not a long-term solution, now that the punishment is over, those people will restrain for a while, and after a while the pressure will be lower, they will start to be corrupt again. ”
Hades asked, "What should you do according to your opinion?"
Geng Yan said: "The problem should be solved from the system. ”
Hades asked, "How to solve it institutionally?"
Geng Yan said: "If you don't give him that right and let him be corrupt, can you be greedy?"
Lord Yama asked again, "Then what do you think?"
Geng Yan said: "I think we should open the door to ghosts, choose human 'sexual' management, and follow the laws of nature." Let the new ghosts consciously drink it willingly. ”
Lord Yama asked, "Will these newly reported ghosts voluntarily drink the 'ecstasy' soul 'medicine'?"
Geng Yan asked Lord Yan, "There is a woman named Meng Po, do you remember?"
Hades said, "I remember, she boiled a fragrant soup with one hand. People praised her soup as 'ten miles of fragrant'. But what does this have to do with the Ghost Gate?"
Geng Yan said: "Why don't you remove the ghost door, on the way to the new ghosts, set up a big stove, sit in a big cauldron, let Meng Po be responsible for boiling the pot of soup to the nose, and then sprinkle the 'ecstasy' soul 'medicine' in the pot and give it to the newly registered ghosts for free."
The new ghosts, who had traveled long distances and were thirsty and hungry, smelled the soup they thought of, and naturally came over to drink it. In this way, it not only gives the new ghosts a 'mystery' of soul medicine, but also solves the hunger and thirst problem of the new ghosts, and it also shows that the king is kind and hospitable!"
When Lord Yama heard this, he happily "touched" his beard and laughed!
Since then, this bloody ghost gate has become a steaming, fragrant hot soup, and there is a mother-in-law standing next to her who is smiling and entertaining guests from afar, that is Meng Po. The soup she boiled was called Meng Po soup.
Niu Danzi and the ugly woman listened to his cat woman tell him about the underworld, and they forgot everything.
It took a long time for the ugly woman to come to her senses, and she said, "Oh, look, I just want to hear you tell these stories of the underworld, and I don't even bother to ask you...... Boy, how did you know we were here?"
Niu Danzi also chimed in: "Yes, child, how do you know?"
The cat woman said, "Father, mother, since that morning you carried me into the steamer at our house, I shouted for you to let me out, but you didn't let me out, and then my body was steamed to death.
And my soul came out of the crack in the steamer, and stood right next to my corpse, and I saw you crawling on my corpse and weeping!
Later, I wandered around, and I had no body anyway, and I didn't have to walk with any effort, like the wind, floating for miles, dozens of miles. It's very convenient to go wherever you want, as soon as you lift your feet, a gust of wind goes, but you can't see your relatives alone...... I miss you, I miss the two cats....... ”
The cat woman said and raised her cuffs to wipe her tears, and then said, "Later, I often spent time with some female ghosts who died like me.
We often go to Nawangxiangtai, Huangquan Road and Meng Po to make soup here to see the excitement.
Looking at the ghosts who had just died and came from the sun, wearing all kinds of new clothes like this, they wept red and swollen their eyes, and they were timid, looking around and looking around, and they had never seen anything.
Sometimes we just wait for them to talk to them, and ask them where they came from, how did they die, did they die, did they die of death, or did they have enough longevity?
Today I was playing with a handful of female ghosts at this Meng Po soup shop, and Brother Shusheng from our village came over and called out to me and said, 'Look, cat girl, aren't those your parents?
I raised my eyes and saw that Granny Meng was entertaining two people who had just come from Huangquan Road, and at first glance it was the two of you, this Granny Meng had already filled each of you with a bowl full of 'lost' soul soup, you two didn't know the truth, and were about to drink it, so I rushed over in a hurry, and I was beaten off with a slap!"
The ugly woman asked, "Do you often spend time with Shusheng, the son of the old man?"
The cat woman said: "There are a lot of times together, in case I encounter some evil ghosts to bully, Brother Shusheng will support me, and I will not be afraid." ”
When the ugly woman heard that her cat woman had two lumps in the desolate underworld where ghosts and ghosts were rampant, Shusheng cared for her, she felt all kinds of comfort in her heart.
So the ugly woman was deeply gratified and said, "That's good! When this tree lived, he was a good person in our village, very down-to-earth, very kind, and like his old father, the old man with two lumps, he was enthusiastic and willing to help others.
It's a pity! It's a pity that good people don't live long! It's a pity that trees die and die!
Therefore, this good man is also a good ghost when he dies. ”
The cat woman said, "Yes, mother, it's all up to Brother Shusheng to help me." ”
After a while, the ugly woman asked curiously, "Child, can you see all the people in our village who died before?"
