Chapter 7: Meng Po's Nether Realm (2)

Meng Po ignored their bickering and said: "The first one first appeared in the Taoist doctrine in the Spring and Autumn Period, saying that I have existed since the world was divided into three worlds: heaven, earth, and man, because it is difficult to see the grievances in the world, even in the next life, I will not be able to let go, so I came to the Nai He Bridge to boil 'Meng Po soup', so that people can forget their past lives and start to be a human being again after drinking it."

The second type has been circulated since the Yuan Dynasty. said that I was Meng Jiangnu, and I cried until the Great Wall to find my husband's bones, but I will never see my husband again. In order to no longer endure the suffering of Sifu, I boiled 'Meng Po soup', and after drinking it, I could forget everything. Later, when God saw that I was deeply affectionate, he no longer asked me to suffer from that reincarnation, but only asked me to make 'Meng Po Soup' on this Nai He Bridge and distribute it to the ghosts who were about to be reincarnated, so that they could forget their previous lives and be reincarnated in peace.

"The third is that I was born in the Western Han Dynasty, familiar with Confucian classics, and I also read scriptures every day to send Buddhas - the lovely thing is that Buddhist scriptures were only translated into Chinese in the Eastern Han Dynasty, haha. However, there are very few people who are critical of this – wholeheartedly exhorting people to do good deeds to the Buddha. Because at that time, there were many people who could know about the past and future lives, so there were many heavenly leaks. Heaven canonized me as the god of the underworld, and gave the ghosts 'Meng Po soup' to drink here, so that they could forget everything and no longer reveal the secrets of heaven. ”

"These three legends," Meng Xingyuan asked inquiringly, "which one is true?"

Meng Po smiled slightly, and said, "Why do you have to distinguish between truth and falsehood? If there are three legends, will there be more reverie? If there is only one theory in the world, won't it look pale and thin?"

Meng Xingyuan nodded, and had to admit that her words also made sense.

"You're here by coincidence. Meng Po turned to Ah Feng again and said, "I just need your help with something." ”

Ah Feng said, "Say what's the matter?" ”

"People know that if you drink Meng Po soup, you will forget everything, but those who don't drink Meng Po soup will always retain the memory of the past. Meng Po's voice was filled with shallow sadness, "What about those people?"

Ah Feng was a little surprised, and asked, "Is there anyone else who can't drink Meng Po soup?"

"I know who can not drink. Meng Xingyuan stared at Meng Po and said, "That's the person who boils soup for others to drink." ”

Meng Po smiled miserably: "You are very smart. Yes, I'm the only one who doesn't drink Meng Po soup. Therefore, I will still remember my previous love and hatred vividly. There is a saying in the Yang world: ask what the world is like, and teach people to live and die. How can anyone be willing to forget an unforgettable love?"

Ah Feng was afraid that he would also remember what happened before, so he immediately changed the topic: "Say, what can I help you?"

"I've been missing my husband for thousands of years, of the loving times we had together, of everything he said to me, of everything he did with me. But in the end, even if I cried down the Great Wall, I only found my husband's bones. On this bridge, I carefully observed every ghost that passed by, hoping to meet my husband, even if it was just for me to take a look. However, after thousands of years of reincarnation, I have never been able to achieve my wish. Meng Po immersed herself in her past, whispered, and when she talked about her sadness, she shed two lines of tears.

Ah Feng and Meng Xingyuan were both infected by her, and sighed again and again.

Meng Po continued: "However, I did not give up, and I will continue to search, because I know that my husband is also waiting for me to find him. ”

Meng Xingyuan was also moved by her affection and persistence, and he said: "Is there anything I can do to help you? You are Meng Po, and my surname is Meng, maybe in the previous life we were still a family." ”

"Of course you can help me. Meng Po wiped the tears from her face, "I want to go to the lower realm to find my husband!"

Ah Feng couldn't help but say: "But, you don't know, your husband has died of exhaustion, and you have also seen his bones......

"Of course I know that. Meng Po interrupted her with some anger, "I have recently suddenly had a new idea: I want to go back to before my husband was captured to build the Great Wall, and protect him, so that he will not go to work as a coolie and will not die of exhaustion." We can also be happily together for the rest of our lives. “

"So, you need me to help you with two things. Ah Feng continued her words, "First thing, you went to the lower realm, who is here to distribute Meng Po soup to the ghosts. The second thing is that you go back to the lower realm before your husband and wife separated, when you didn't have mana, who will protect you? Am I right?"

"You're really smart. That's right!" Meng Po's face finally showed a smile, "I don't know if you are willing to help me." ”

Meng Xingyuan's mind was hot, and he said with a big grin: "What's so difficult about this." You two go to the Nether. Ah Feng is a great god and can naturally protect you and your husband. And I can stay here and help you make soup. ”

"Really? That's great. Meng Po's face was full of joy.

Ah Feng said: "I think there is something wrong with this. With my mana, of course it's okay to protect you and your wife. It's just that I'm a ghost after all, and I can only manifest at night - so there will be a lot of inconvenience. ”

"Then what do you think we should do?" Meng Xingyuan asked.

After thinking for a while, Ah Feng said, "I think the three of us should go to the lower realm together. Meng Xingyuan is a man, and the era we are going to pay attention to is that women can't show their heads, which requires you to deal with others. ”

Meng Po also nodded: "What you said also makes sense. It's just, what about the Meng Po soup here?"

"It's not easy. As he spoke, Ah Feng plucked a hair on Meng Xingyuan's head, put it to his mouth and blew on it, and a "Meng Xingyuan" appeared.

Meng Xingyuan opened his mouth wide, his eyes widened, and he looked at the "self" in front of him who was exactly the same as himself, and he was speechless.

"Not bad. His figure, appearance, speech and even thoughts are exactly the same as yours, to put it bluntly, he is you, you are him. The three of us went to Yangshi together, and he stayed behind to make soup instead of Meng Po. Isn't it the best of both worlds?" Ah Feng is like a designer, proudly introducing the products he has designed.

"I also think he looks the same as me. Meng Xingyuan had to admit that Ah Feng's "work" was perfect, "But, why don't you just conjure up a Meng Po?"

"First of all, it's a gender issue, how can I be embarrassed to pull hair out of a woman's head? Besides, Meng Po is about to go to the lower realm to find her husband, and her mood will definitely be excited and excited, which will inevitably have an impact on the clones who stay in the underworld. Ah Feng thought about it very comprehensively.

"Okay, I agree with your plan. Meng Xingyuan had read several time-traveling novels, and now he could actually travel by himself, and he was very excited and looking forward to it.

Meng Po thought for a moment, and nodded at Ah Feng and Meng Xingyuan.

"If we want to go back in time, my current mana is no problem. Ah Feng asked, "It's just, have you figured out when you're going back?"

"I've thought about it a long time ago. I'm going back to before I first met my husband. For thousands of years, I have to recall that happiness that belonged only to the two of us almost every day. I want to revisit, can you help me?" Meng Po's eyes were full of begging.

"Of course, no problem. As long as you're ready, we're ready to go. Ah Feng also seemed a little impatient.

Meng Xingyuan stretched out his hand and shook the hand of "Meng Xingyuan": "I don't know what to call you." When we're not here, it's all up to you!"

"Meng Xingyuan" also shook his hand vigorously: "Don't worry." Be careful and come back early. ”

Meng Po also explained a few words. "Meng Xingyuan" nodded again and again, indicating that he would remember it firmly.

"I have one last question," Meng Xingyuan said, "after we arrive in the Yang World, what relationship will we have a better relationship?"

"I have an idea that you can pretend to be a beggar and come to our house to beg for food, and then I will beg my father to take you in as a servant in my house. It's just that this will be too wronged for you. "Meng Po said a good idea.

"Not aggrieved. That's it. Meng Xingyuan readily agreed.

Ah Feng stretched out two hands, grabbed one of Meng Po and Meng Xingyuan's hands respectively, and said, "Please close your eyes and relax your whole body, we are about to set off." ”

Meng Xingyuan closed his eyes gently, and immediately felt a strong sleepiness, and he couldn't open his eyes even if he wanted to, and soon entered a sweet and relaxed sleep state that he had never experienced.
