Text: Meng Po who doesn't drink soup
However, on the bridge, everyone who died had to drink a bowl of soup.
This legend has been passed down from the underworld to the yang world, and everyone knows that there is a beautiful Meng Po at the end of the bridge.
Meng Po herself couldn't remember how long she had stayed, it seemed like a long, long time, and it seemed like it was only for a moment.
People only know that drinking Meng Po soup is an iron law to go to the underworld, but they don't know that even Meng Po herself doesn't know why she wants to stay here for a long time, vaguely as if she is looking forward to something, but it is like a leaf of duckweed on the Lechuan River, how can you not grasp it.
In this way, the memory of one life is exchanged for a bowl of soup, and countless people move towards the next life.
Two
In the past, there was no Meng Po on the Nai He Bridge, and there was only a quiet spring on the bare bridge deck, where the bubbling out was Meng Po soup, which was called the water of forgetting worries at that time.
After drinking the water of forgetting worries, the past will turn into ashes, love and hatred will be completely gone, and people will welcome a new life with a blank piece of paper.
And the fast-flowing Lechuan River at your feet represents concern and pain. Some people do not want to forget the karma of their previous lives, so they will choose to jump into it, and after suffering endless pain of eating bones, they may be able to wait for a quick glimpse of their beloved on the bridge, and they will enter reincarnation and meet each other in the next life, but it may also be that the wait is endless.
The ghostly shadow in the Lethe River deserves true love. Meng Po glanced at the river under her feet and thought silently.
Before Meng Po came, the inattentive deceased always forgot to drink Meng Po soup and unfortunately fell into the Lechuan River, suffering countless sufferings in vain.
After Meng Po came, the order was much more orderly. Drink it, and you can die; If you don't drink it, the river below is your destination.
To some extent, Meng Po also became the caretaker of the underworld.
This benefit was seen by Hades.

Recently, Meng Po suddenly figured out a lot of things, looking at the deceased walking slowly, she felt that the emotions that could not be released were like bubbles, and she finally remembered why she came here.
She waited for someone, in order to continue the fate of her previous life.
But she was smart, and she was afraid that it would be difficult to get his attention by being buried in the Lethe River, so she chose to wait on the bridge until he came.
Hades came to see her and brought some fruits unique to the underworld. Her rigor and meticulousness have been recognized by the underworld, and Hades hopes that she can also drink her own soup and be a wholehearted Meng Po.
Meng Po declined these gifts, saying that she had only one wish: to see him in her previous life.
Meng Po also wondered why after so many years, he still didn't show up.
Hades said yes.
Soon after, the fog in front of him gradually lifted, and a familiar and unfamiliar face slowly emerged, it was really him, and he was still there.
It turned out that he didn't go to the bridge at all, and he was afraid that drinking the water would forget her, so he kept wandering at the entrance of the bridge, day after day, year after year. Countless years have passed, and there is a bridge between the two, and the end of the world is close at hand.
Hades quietly handed the bowl of soup to Meng Po's hand and watched her put it between his lips.
The eyes of the two were wistful, mixed with sadness.
It's just that there is still a little cunning in Meng Po's eyes.
End
Suddenly, Meng Po sprinkled the undrunk water in her hand into the air, and jumped into the Lethe River at her feet.
In the exclamation, his eyes were locked on Meng Po, for fear of missing a minute or a second.
The rolling river flooded Meng Po's figure in an instant, and unlike the ghosts that floated and sank in it, Meng Po never surfaced again.
She ran into the afterlife.
If you can get a quick glimpse of him in the Lethe River, you can meet again in the afterlife.
