Chapter 150: Sansheng Shibian Meng Po Soup

Zhong Kui listened, his heart was very uncomfortable, like a stone hit into the heart, flooding layers of waves, thinking: since that day farewell to his parents, brothers and sisters, relatives and friends, to the capital Chang'an to take the exam, met the traitor Lu Qi, he was angry, he killed himself in the Jinluan Palace, was named the god of exorcism by Emperor Xuanzong came to Fengdu City, and traveled all over the world to kill demons, unconsciously ten years have passed, and I have not seen my family, I don't know what happened to them.

Thinking that day, my father sent himself to the ten-mile hillside, told me a thousand times, and said goodbye with tears, maybe I was still looking forward to my news! Thinking of this, I couldn't help but feel sad and wet my clothes with tears.

"Marshal Zhong, this ghost slipped out of the ghost gate without permission and wanted to escape back to the yang world, and the king of Yama ordered him to be escorted to you for treatment." A gag reports.

Zhong Kui came back to his senses and saw two ghost guards standing in front of a young female ghost, the female ghost had a haggard face, and when he saw Zhong Kui, he was not afraid, he just lowered his head and cried.

Zhong Kui asked, "Why did you run away?" ”

The female ghost replied, "I want to go back to the sun to see my parents." ”

Zhong Kui said angrily: "Since you have become a ghost, why do you still miss mortal dust." ”

The female ghost cried: "My parents are almost seventy years old, middle-aged and have children, and it was not easy to raise me, an only daughter, and raise a child and a daughter to send me to the end, who knows that the white-haired man sent the black-haired man, I died, and my parents still don't know how to cry to death." You know, I'm only 28 years old. ”

Zhong Kui sighed and said, "The laws of Yin Cao are strict, you escaped from the ghost gate without permission, aren't you afraid of being punished in the underworld?" ”

The female ghost whimpered: "Master, as long as I can see my parents, I am willing to go to the eighteenth layer of hell." As he spoke, he began to cry again.

Zhong Kui suddenly felt very sad, as if something was biting his heart, waved his hand, and said, "Let's go......"

The two ghost pawns watched from the side, and they both felt a little inexplicable, and hurriedly said: "She should be severely punished for violating the law of yin, if the son of yin knows about it......"

Zhong Kui said: "Yan Jun, I have to explain!" "With that, walk away quickly.

Zhong Kui came to the Hall of the Son of Heaven, and when King Yama saw his melancholy face, he was very puzzled, and asked, "Why are you depressed when you are sent to kill ghosts?" ”

Zhong Kui handed over the sword and said on the ground: "Long live, the minister is incompetent, please send another god." ”

King Yama said: "Aiqing came to Dao Cao, he has always done things quickly and seriously, slaying demons and eliminating demons, and has made great achievements, and has never retreated, what happened today?" ”

Zhong Kui hesitated for a moment and said, "Your Majesty, this time I am really difficult to obey, and I am willing to be punished." Bao Zheng, the son of Yama Tianzi, said suspiciously: "Could it be that Aiqing has encountered something difficult?" ”

Zhong Kui suddenly hugged his head and cried, tears gushing up. Seeing this, the king of Hades was even more confused, and for some reason, he stepped down from the throne, helped Zhong Kui up with both hands, and said warmly: "Although Aiqing has something to say, I will never blame you." ”

Zhong Kui wiped his tears and said in a trembling voice: "Those ghosts who came to the underworld are sad and crying because they miss their relatives in the yang world, people are born of their parents, how can they be ruthless? I can't bear to do it, so I have to ask Banzai to dismiss me from my post as Marshal of the Flat Ghost. ”

When the king of Yama heard this, he was silent. At night, he took off his official robe, put on civilian clothes, and came to the cliff to secretly investigate, and when he saw that Zhong Kui's words were really true, he suddenly felt impatient and restless, and he was silent for several days, and he didn't think about tea and dinner. Seeing this, the judge was very worried, and said, "If you can let the souls of the dead in the underworld meet their relatives in the yang world......

King Yama's eyes lit up, and he suddenly opened his mouth, and said with great joy: "You are right, the idea is to let them meet their relatives, but it will be their longing and suffering!" ”

The king of Yama immediately convened the military generals of the prefecture to discuss and decided to build a 'Wangxiang Tower' to let the soul of Yin Cao look at his hometown and relatives from afar.

Since then, the cry of the ghost has disappeared, and at the top of the famous mountain in Fengdu, there is one more lookout platform next to the Son of Heaven Palace, with a high winding railing, majestic and magnificent, towering in the clouds. Every year in the first and second months of the incense meeting, the incense here is particularly prosperous, pilgrims gather, some pilgrims burn incense and pray on this stage, and hope to meet with their deceased parents and relatives and friends. Legend has it that this is the place where the souls of the dead meet their loved ones at home.

After a person dies, he walks across the Nai He Bridge, looks at the world for the last time on the Wangxiang Terrace, and drinks a cup of water from the Lechuan River.

This bridge is the boundary and begins a new reincarnation. Bluestone bridge deck, five steps, west of the bridge for women, east of the bridge for men, left yin and right yang. 'If anyone dies at the age of ninety-seven, let him wait three years on the bridge.'" A thousand years of retrospective, a hundred years of promise. Maybe the relationship between husband and wife in this life began and ended here.

However, under the bridge for thousands of feet, the clouds and mist are entangled, and no one knows what the way to wait for the next life. The promise of the next life is just a follow-up to this life, after drinking Meng Po soup, everything has been forgotten, and the meeting in the next life is just a new beginning.

What a bridge, what a parting in the past life, how to meet in this life, but how to reunite in the next life.

The end of this life is just the starting point of the next life, and people who live in the cycle of life and life cannot have the memory of the past life, just because everyone will drink Meng Po soup on the bridge before reincarnation.

Therefore, when walking on the Nai Ho Bridge, it is the time when a person finally has the memory of this life. At this moment, many people are still clinging to the unfulfilled wishes of their previous lives, but they deeply understand that these wishes will not be realized in the end, so they will let out a long sigh. This is also the reason why this bridge connecting the reincarnations of various generations is named Nai He Bridge.

Bai Wuchang told me that after death, if a person was not a great evil person in his life, after being judged by the king of Yama in each hall, he could be reincarnated after drinking Meng Po soup. Why should you drink Meng Po Soup? It means that after the end of life, the merits and demerits of life, after arriving at the Yin Si Difu, they will naturally understand them one by one. After drinking Meng Po soup, I forgot everything in my previous life, and I started again.

After the death of the man, the servants escorted the ghost through the walls of Meng Pozhuang to the palace of the king of Hades for interrogation. After the verdict is made, it will be entered into the transfer book. All ghosts who are sentenced to be reincarnated will walk back from Meng Pozhuang.

There was an old woman standing at the door of Meng Po Village, greeting the visitors, and stepping up the stairs to enter the house. The village is full of carved beams and painted buildings, and Zhulan stone masonry; Inside the house, there are delicate and gorgeous grains, curtains made of pearls and jade, and a large table carved in jade in the hall.

After the visitors entered the house, the old woman called out three girls, these three girls were Meng Jiang, Meng Yong and Meng Ge. The three of them were all wearing red skirts and blouses with green sleeves, all of them looked like flowers and jade, and they called out to Lang Jun softly, and invited the visitors to sit down with their hands on the mats.

After the visitor sat down, the maid brought tea. The three beauties are waiting on the side, all of them are serving tea with their slender jade fingers, the jade ring is tinkling, and the strange fragrance hits people, in such a situation, it is really difficult to refuse not to drink. As soon as I took the teacup, I felt dizzy, and I took a sip, only to feel that it was extremely cool, and it could quench my thirst, and I couldn't help but drink it all.

After drinking at the end, I suddenly saw a spoonful or so of muddy mud sinking at the bottom of the cup, and when I looked up, I found that the originally beautiful and charming beauty and the old woman had become stiff skeletons. When I walked out of the door, I saw that the original carved beams and paintings were all rotten wood, as if I was in the wilderness, and I forgot the things I had before I was alive. Just when he was panicked and in pain, he suddenly fell to the ground crying and became a little baby who didn't know anything.

I think of the singer Wei Jiayi's song about Meng Po Tang, the song was written from the moment I just stepped on the Huangquan Road, a lonely soul 'walked' on the Huangquan Road - the footsteps were light and unbalanced, where are you I shouting your name - I tried my best to call that unforgettable name, but found that no matter what, I couldn't make a sound, helpless, extreme helplessness diffused between the lines, and also lingered in the ears of the listener......

"Where are you when you're off balance? I call your name......

But before the sound could spread, it disappeared without a trace. Staggered to the front of the Nai He Bridge, and I didn't take Meng Po's bowl even if I died.

I can't forget the sweetness of you and me, and I can't forget the bits and pieces of you and me. I want to take the memories of this life, find you in reincarnation, stay together forever, hold you and never be separated......

Thinking of you made me tug at me, and I choked my throat with a crushing twist. With a wave of his hand, he knocked over Meng Po's bowl and fell to the ground and shattered it in half.

Meng Po will have mercy on me and will not let my soul fly with the wind. My love surrounds you and snuggles you in the afterlife.

Thinking of you made me tug at me, and I choked my throat with a crushing twist. waved his hand to knock over Meng Po's bowl and fell to the ground and shattered it in half, how can you forget that Jì is entangled with you? How can you discard the shackles that bind you?

Just to be able to exchange for that red thread and renew the relationship! ”

However, the bridge is on the road, and the right and wrong do not cross the Lechuan River. There is no right or wrong in front of the Sansheng Stone, and Meng Po will be on the side of the Wangxiang platform.

The 'Three Lives' originated from the Buddhist theory of karmic reincarnation, and later became a symbol of lifelong meaning in Chinese history. The 'three lives' of the three life stones represent the 'previous life', 'this life', and 'the next life', and many people's love starts from a sense of dΓ©jΓ  vu, and after falling in love, people will definitely look forward to the 'fate of the three lives'.

Legend has it that after NΓΌwa mended the sky, she began to make people out of clay, and for each person, she took a grain of sand as a plan, and finally made a huge stone, which Nuwa stood on the bank of the West Tianling River.

This stone because it began at the beginning of heaven and earth, by the essence of the sun and the moon, the spirit gradually passed. I don't know how many years have passed, only to hear a loud noise in the sky, a stone straight into the sky, top of the sky cave, seems to have the meaning of breaking the sky. Nuwa looked at it and was shocked, only to see that after this stone absorbed the essence of the sun and the moon, it was top-heavy, upright, and could reach the sky, and its appearance was fantastic, and it actually gave birth to two divine patterns, separating the stone into three sections, even though it had the intention of devouring the three worlds of heaven, earth and man.

Nuwa hurriedly cast the spirit talisman and sealed the stone, thinking that after creating a human being, she would only lack the reincarnation god of marriage, so she sealed it as a three-life stone, gave it mana three-life formula, named its three stages as the previous life, this life, and the next life, and added a marriage line to its body, which continued from this life to the next life. In order to better restrain its demonic nature, Nuwa thought about it again and again, and finally put it on the side of the Lechuan River in the Ghost Gate Pass, and was in charge of the reincarnation of the marriage of the three generations. When this stone is erected, the divine power shines on the world, and there is an endless stream of people who kneel and beg for marriage reincarnation.
