Chapter 1: Nai

Lethe River Road, a hundred ghosts cry.

The cold wind mixed with terrible screams and lingering whimpering, the bloody wind blew in the face, and the blood-yellow river water was surging, all the dregs of the lonely souls swallowed by the water of the Lethe River.

It was a black stone bridge, and people called it the Nai Ho Bridge.

The woman leaned on the bridge, dressed in a green dress and a white skirt, and the light veil covering her face made her look more ethereal and mysterious. Leisurely pour the soup in his hand into the pot in front of him, the movement is skillful and graceful.

The soul who goes to the road of reincarnation must drink a bowl of Meng Po soup, drink this soup, the past life is like a floating cloud, all of them pass away with the wind, a bowl of Meng Po soup, and the next life is like a stranger.

"Meng Meng, what did you add to it, this big pot of soup was still yellow a few days ago, why has it turned purple today?"

Meng Po turned around and smiled at the woman in red who suddenly appeared beside her, "You girl, you have said that you want to call me mother-in-law, why can't you change it." ”

Mother-in-law?

The woman in red didn't answer, but she rolled her eyes at the other party very indecently, took a step back, and turned around in place, like a fiery red dress, and her skirt flew in an instant, like a blood-colored flower on the bank of the Lechuan River. She put on a charming pose, and her big eyes were even more seductive, deep and seductive, shining in this dimly lit underworld.

"Na, look, how can we say that we are also sisters of the underworld! Look at the ghosts who come and go, one by one they are fascinated by you, where do you need to drink Meng Po soup...... Meng Po, Meng Po, do you really think of yourself as a wrinkled old woman?"

Meng Po may be the image of an old woman in the eyes of the world. But, in fact, Meng Po is just an indispensable position in the Yin Division. Legend has it that the first Meng Po was an old man who cultivated immortals, and after his death, he served in the Yin Division, cast the Forgotten Table, and was in charge of the tenth hall of the Netherworld.

And the current Meng Po, this fairy-like woman in green clothes and white dresses, no one knows her identity, just like no one knows why she has been guarding such a profession for thousands of years on this Nai He Bridge. However, the ghosts of Xudu know that the current Meng Po is a gentle beauty in the underworld and Xudu, although no one has seen her true appearance.

Meng Po smiled gracefully, "Okay, I don't know which girl I was fascinated by." Why? Just came back, you want to study this soup with me?"

The woman in red shrugged and said, "That's it, anyway, your soup won't do anything to me." ”

She doesn't remember who she is, and she doesn't know when she got here, it's not that she hasn't checked, there is no trace of her in the book of life and death, and standing in front of the Sansheng Stone, it is just a blank.

She was also reincarnated into the world, but Meng Po Tang had no effect on her, so she had to serve as a Rakshasa in the underworld.

Prosperous world, a few rounds of dawn and twilight, anyway, the world is just a few decades, it's not like to return here, in fact, this is not bad, this is her home, isn't it?

Scarlet clothes, crimson clothes...... Just like her crimson dress, just like the only scenery in the underworld, the gorgeous crimson flowers on the other side.

Seeing the eyes of the scarlet clothes that suddenly dimmed, Meng Po was stunned, and took a bowl of soup from the pot and said: "Taste it, it's still hot, this time I added the flowers extracted from the flowers on the other side." ”

Scarlet Yi's eyes fell on the other side of the Lethe River, where there were always large patches of flowers blooming on the other side, blood-like crimson, enchanting and weird, but arrogantly exuding an unknown sadness.

The flower on the other side, born on the bank of the Lechuan River, is the flower of love, and in each flower, there is a soul memory that will not be forgotten until death.

Scarlet took the steaming bowl of soup and drank it in one gulp. It's not bitter or astringent, it's just a faint sweetness, and I don't know how much better it tastes than what I've drunk before.

"Yes, another bowl of ......"

His face was cold, and when he touched his scarlet clothes, he was stunned to find that he had shed tears at some point.

But she knew that it was not her tears, it was the soul of the flower on the other side, the sorrow that could not be told in the depths of the soul.

The thin lips of the scarlet pink coat are gently hooked.

"No, please! you can't do this! I'll wait for him here!" With a hoarse cry, Scarlet and Meng Po turned their heads to look.

Two onicha were walking towards them with a disheveled female ghost......

The female ghost was restrained, and finally gave up the struggle, and actually knelt on the ground and cried, "Let me see him again, I beg you......! Biluo Yellow Spring, never give up. I've been waiting for 70 years...... Woowoo...... Why didn't he come to me yet, I'm so scared, woo woo... Brother Xuan......"

"Hey, it's another infatuated person...... Meng Po sighed lightly.

The female ghost knelt in front of Meng Po and begged, "Can I not drink this bowl of soup, I don't want to forget him...... No... Forgot about ......."

This female ghost, named Ye Suqing, has seen her many times in scarlet clothes, that plain clothes, lonely watch by the Nai He Bridge, waiting for a full seventy years....... ghosts on the bridge come and go, each soul has its own obsession, but how many people do not drink this soup?

Scarlet Yi pointed to the ghosts lined up under the bridge and said: "You have been waiting for more than 70 years in Xudu, and he has not come to you, ......what does this mean? Now that you have reached the end of your life, you can get the opportunity to enter the WTO again, why don't you know how to cherish it!"

After saying that, he dragged the female ghost to the side of the bridge, forcing her to look at the river full of skeletons and poisonous snakes under the bridge, and the smell of blood and stench came to her face.

"Don't you want to forget? Then you can jump into this Lethe River, all the ghosts here should know, as long as you jump into this Lethe River, suffer from this flooding and fire, and skin and bones, then after a thousand years, you can be reincarnated with your memories, do you want me to send you down?" Scarlet let let go of her hand and snorted disdainfully, and the female ghost collapsed to the ground.

Finally, the female ghost couldn't help but vomit, and fell to the bridge shaking violently when she was tired of vomiting, panting for ghost breath......

Hmph, if your will is firm enough, otherwise, let alone a thousand years, it is a moment, and maybe the so-called obsession and memory will be washed away.

Meng Po pulled out the scarlet clothes that were about to jump, squatted in front of the female ghost, and gently handed a bowl of Meng Po soup to the female ghost and said: "After drinking this bowl of soup and entering reincarnation, the people who care about it in this life will forget it all, what do you insist on." Silly girl, let's drink this soup......"

"It's like a stranger...... I don't know each other!hehe...... Don't you know each other......" The female ghost took Meng Po soup with tears and laughter, and asked with teary eyes: "Then can I reunite with him in the next life?"

Meng Po sighed faintly, not nodding or shaking her head.

Maybe...... Who knows......

With a "bang", the soup was scattered all over the ground, and the female ghost began to cry low again.

"Heh, reunion? After so many years, now he should have children and grandchildren in the human world, happy to grow old with the person he loves, how can he remember the promise with you. I want to come and wait for him to finish his life, maybe when the time comes, the two of them will come here together and live together for the rest of their lives...... You're waiting here, and he knows!"

"Ye Suqing, it's been so long, haven't you still seen it!?"

Scarlet clothes are pressing so step by step, seeing that the female ghost is about to lose her mind when she is stimulated, Meng Po casts a accusatory look at Scarlet Yi.

When she wanted to appease the female ghost, the female ghost rushed to the edge of the bridge with lightning speed, stood on the edge of the bridge, turned to look at them, and smiled sadly......

I saw that her weak body was like autumn leaves at this time, trembling, and her white dress was fluttering in the wind, looking so fragile, but her eyes were firm, and Scarlet knew that it was something called 'obsession'.

"Scarlet, you don't understand...... Let's make an agreement, just bet on whether he also loves me as much as I love him, misses me, and suffers from this thousand years of Lethe River together. ”

After that, he jumped into the Lethe River, and it was too late to stop it.

Brother Xuan, you wait for me, it's only a thousand years, I can afford to gamble.

Scarlet Yi rushed over to take a look, only to see that the white figure was wrapped in the surging river water in just an instant, frantically gnawing, and only Ye Suqing's miserable cry was left in his ears.

Still...... It's really out of the ordinary......

Scarlet Yi just looked at the Lechuan River in a daze, she didn't know what she was thinking, she seemed to have done something wrong, she just wanted to scare Ye Suqing, who knows......

Meng Po just sighed heavily, looking at the souls who had already arranged reincarnation, they lined up in a long line under the Nai He Bridge, just waited to drink Meng Po soup, and then entered the reincarnation path.

Under the veil, a smile rose on the face of the country and the city, but in that smile, how to look at it and feel a trace of bitterness in it.

She's been waiting for a thousand years, but where is that man? Could it be that she missed it?

No. If he had been here, she would have recognized him.

Unless...... He's gone!

Meng Po walked slowly to the side of the Sansheng Stone, gently stroking the Sansheng Stone, as if touching her beloved, and there were four crimson words engraved on it, 'Early Landing on the Other Side'.

In the past thousand years, she has crossed so many souls by the Naihe Bridge, when will she be able to 'cross' this boundless other shore......

Thinking about it, hating it, hating it until it is time to return, and the moonlight people lean on the building.

"On the bank of the Sansheng Stone, by the Lethe River, I have waited for you for a thousand years, I have loved you for a thousand years, why, why haven't you come to me yet......" A crystal tear seeped into the Sansheng Stone......
