Bai Wuchang took my hand and muttered over there: "You just don't believe my words, you want to let Niangniang make a move." ”

I didn't care, and replied with a smile: "How good it is to deal with this way, and they won't stop us when they see us in the future, right?" ”

Only then did she stop and breathe a sigh of relief, as if she was upset for me: "Niangniang is too good-hearted, no wonder Lord Hades likes Niangniang, Saya relies on this to bully you." ”

"Okay, I don't mind."

I touched her hand: "Didn't it come out successfully?" ”

Outside the palace of Hades is a scene that I am familiar with, very similar to the downtown in some costume TV dramas, except that the people here are in a state of spirit, translucent, they wear cloth clothes, and they work hard.

I suddenly thought that the yang world has been developing, but the underworld has been stuck in the original ancient era, and I thought it was amazing.

"Niangniang, don't look at these people, some of them came here hundreds of years ago and can't wait for reincarnation, and some of them may have come down from the Nai He Bridge a few seconds ago."

"As long as they drink Sister Meng's soup, they will forget the troubles of life, everything before life, and start over here."

I can't help but feel some sorrow for those who have passed away in modern times, thinking that they are all living in advanced times, and after they die, they have to go through the life of the past.

Many people noticed me, probably because I entered the underworld as a living person.

Bai Wuchang didn't care about the people who were watching here, pulled me, and led me to the Nai He Bridge.

Just outside this city, there is a very long and wide Santu River, and a large area of flowers on the other side of the river continues to spread around the Santu River.

In the black wilderness, only the flowers on the other side are radiating a red light.

A small wooden bridge was built on top of the Santu River, and people with souls lined up and walked across the bridge one by one.

Even though we were some distance from the bridge, I still saw a woman standing at the head of the bridge, scooping soup in a large vat with a long-handled spoon.

The slender body seemed to be weak, and the silver hair like an old man was long and straight, hanging directly to the ground.

She was dressed in a gray robe, but her undershirt was bright red, which looked a little dazzling, a white gauze band wrapped around her eyes, and half of her face, revealing only her pale and colorless chin, and bloodless lips.

The gray robe seemed to be very unsuitable for her body, and it looked extraordinarily loose, and the slender hands and arms protruded from the robe, which contrasted sharply with the wide sleeves.

"Sister Meng Po!"

As soon as Bai Wuchang saw Meng Po, he excitedly took my hand and trotted up, and many souls on the bridge saw us and looked at us with confused eyes.

Meng Po seemed to hear her cry, put down the soup spoon in her hand, wiped her hand on the gray robe, turned around, the voice was surprisingly good, and my heart was tingling.

"It's Xiaobai, you're here."

This voice, if I were to use one word to describe it, I felt that I was running out of words, more than ten years of books seemed to be read in vain, her voice, how to say, not only has a melodious feeling, the ethereal voice is like a megaphone.

There was a slight hoarseness and magnetism in his soft voice.

Just listening to her was a pleasure.

"Ah, Xiaobai, you have brought a distinguished guest."

My eyes widened in surprise, I didn't have the slightest sound exposed, how could she sense my presence?

Bai Wuchang pounced on Meng Po's side, grabbed her hand, and excitedly introduced to her: "This is Niangniang!" ”

Meng Po didn't show a surprised expression, as if everything was in her expectation, she saluted me very ladylikely, with a smile on the corner of her mouth, like a spring breeze.

"It's the queen of Hades, I've been looking up for a long time."

Poof-

Old ......

I was really shocked by this self-proclaimed shock, although I didn't see all of Meng Po's face, but from half of her face, I could know that she was definitely a big beauty, just like Bai Wuchang said.

Moreover, she looked very young, all over her body, and I could only see the shadow of an old man in her silver hair, and everywhere else, whether it was her figure or appearance, she was a fair lady.

Bai Wuchang seemed to have been used to it for a long time, covered his mouth and snickered: "Niangniang, Sister Meng Po is older than my father and mother, and there is no problem with claiming to be old." ”

Meng Po smiled gently, touched Bai Wuchang's head with her hand, and suddenly, as if she thought of something, she turned around and walked to the side of the vat, scooped a bowl of soup, and walked over and handed it to me.

"Niangniang, there is nothing special about the old body, this is a small mind, and the old body is the only one that can handle it."

I was about to take it, but my hand was grabbed by Bai Wuchang.

She looked at Meng Po with some reproach and reminded: "Niang Niang is still alive, and she can't drink soup." ”

Meng Po soup is a soup for those who have recently passed away, and when their souls are about to cross the Nai Ho Bridge, cross the Santu River, and truly become a member of the underworld, this bowl of soup is something they must drink.

It washes away the memories of these souls and allows them to live in the underworld without any worries, where there is no sickness or pain, and everyone does what they have to do to wait for the time of rebirth.

When Meng Po heard this, she immediately exclaimed: "Ah, look at my brain." Then he looked at me apologetically.

"Mother, please forgive me."

I don't really understand why ancient people asked others to "forgive their sins" at every turn, maybe this is a way to apologize?

I knew that Meng Po didn't mean it, and seeing a scared expression on her face, she replied, "I'm fine, I'll drink this soup." ”

"One day, I will really leave the yang world and come here, and when the time comes, please remember me and scoop me up with your own hands a bowl of soup."

I mean that.

Indeed, as long as it is a human being, one day it will die and it will come here.

For her, Meng Po's soup as a meeting gift is just a bowl of craftsmanship from her heart, but for us living people, the meaning is different.

It's just that this greeting gift, when I was still alive in the world, I am afraid I would not be able to drink it.

At this moment, I suddenly thought of the song I heard when the pervert took me through the two realms before.

"Meng Po, you can sing, right?" I sat on the edge of the bridge and looked up at her.

While receiving me and Bai Wuchang, she also handed soup to the passing spirits from time to time, and when she heard my question, she smiled skillfully.

"I know a little, but I don't know a lot about it."

I hummed from memory, and Meng Po's back shook, although the process was extremely short, I could even treat it as a dazzle, but I still captured it very sensitively.

"How does the mother know about this song?"

Meng Po's hand to scoop the soup stopped, turned her head sideways and asked me, and I told her the truth.

On her face, there was a very shallow wry smile, very bitter, very sad, very painful.

I myself was a little surprised, why did I get so many feelings from one of her smiles? Why did I read her smile?

Then, Meng Po went to work again and did not reply.

Bai Wuchang's face was not very good-looking, so I lowered my voice, approached her, and asked.

She listened to my question, put her chin in her little hand, and sighed, "Hey, mother......"

She wanted to say something, but her eyes looked at Meng Po's back, and finally closed her mouth and didn't continue to speak.

Obviously, Bai Wuchang knew something, but because Meng Po was here, she didn't speak.

I had to resist my curiosity and give her a look—

Let me know when we leave.

Although it is indeed not good to explore other people's secrets in this way, I am really puzzled.

How could Meng Po show such an expression, once when I first saw black and white impermanence, they also had a sad past, their father and mother died on the battlefield.

But why did Meng Po ......

What puzzled me the most was that when I hummed the tune of the tune, sadness immediately hit her face.

If this is a song that hurts her and makes her sad, then why, when I was going through the two realms, I heard her singing loudly?

After that, we sat at the bridge, and if there was no soul to cross the bridge, Meng Po would come over and sit beside me, smiling elegantly, and telling us about the strange things she had encountered at this bridge.

There were many women who were mothers who were pressed by the little ghosts to come to the bridge and forcibly poured Meng Po soup.

It is said that it is because this mother has a young child, and she does not want to go to the underworld, but wants to go back to the underworld to accompany her child.

However, in the judge's book of life and death, her yang life has ended, so naturally she will not be let go back, so she has to let the little ghosts use coercive means to pressure her to drink Meng Po soup.

"The old body saw it at the time, and I couldn't bear it."

Listening to her say that there are relatives who come together, I think that most of them are due to large-scale accidents.

In order to escape Meng Po Tang, they jumped directly from the Nai He Bridge.

Hearing this, my heart fluttered.

"Mother, you know what?" Meng Po tidied up the scarf on her face a little, and her white fingers were particularly beautiful, even the nails were translucent.

"As long as the soul is alive in the underworld, it has the opportunity to be reborn, but the soul also has a way of dying."

She pointed to the boundless Santu River behind her, and said in a low voice: "This river can make the feathers sink, not to mention the bottom." ”

"It can devour and dissolve souls, as long as the souls that fall into it, all of them will disappear into heaven and earth, and merge with this black river."

Her tone was so sudden and eerie that I couldn't help but shrink my neck.

Bai Wuchang seemed to be comforting me and said, "Sister Meng Po is not scaring Niangniang, it's true. ”

"In the underworld, there are only two people who can harness this river!"

"Who?"

I asked.

"One is Lord Hades, and the other is that guy." Bai Wuchang turned around and pointed towards a small wooden boat not far away.
