Li Ting walked out of the Yama Hall and passed by Bai Wuchang.
The underworld was dim and dark, and the dark red sky was like a mirror reflecting the Wangchuan River, with dark lines like running water slowly flowing in it. Li Ting said to the little girl, "Do you know where the Wangyou Bean is?"
Interesting nodded and said: "Wangyou Bean is in Nanshan and is managed by Po Meng. Po Meng also lives in Nanshan."
Li Tingwenyan thought of something and asked: "I came here three times and saw Po Meng serving soup, but I never saw her coming home. Is it a coincidence?"
"No, there is no distinction between day and night in the underworld, but the door does open and close." The little girl said, pointing to the dark red sky above her head, "That is the beauty. When it flows, the door opens, when it is still, the door closes, and when it is still, the door opens.
Bai Wuchang crosses the ghosts and Meng Po fills the soup. Every time we come here, it takes about a day, both to cross the two realms and to wait for the door to open.
When the door is closed, many lonely ghosts will deal with their own affairs in the underworld, Black and White Wuchang will sort out the information about ghosts, and Po Meng will take care of the worry-free beans and make new Po Meng soup, which will be useful when the door opens next time."
Beauty?
It's a strange name, Li Ting thought as he looked up at the flowing red sky.
"How long until the door closes?"
"About two hours." Qu Qi raised his head with him, staring at the flowing beauty, and said.
"Then you take me to Nanshan, I'll wait for Po Meng there." Li Tingdao.
If you negotiate while others are serving soup, it will disturb the other party's work, which is somewhat inappropriate. Moreover, Meng Po doesn't necessarily carry Wangyou beans with her, so it would be better to go to Nanshan and wait for Po Meng.
One person and two ghosts have not crossed the Naihe Bridge and walked all the way south. The scenery in the underworld is not monotonous. The mountains, rocks and trees are all colored, and the flowers and plants are bright. However, the black and red background is too dark and cool, and no matter how beautiful the flowers and plants are, they are all different.
It looks a little strange and lonely.
After walking along some stone roads and climbing over a low mountain, I saw several brown-black low peaks, which were Nanshan Mountain.
Going further, you can see a small courtyard in the mountains. The courtyard is surrounded by a fence. There is a thatched house and a small garden in which some unknown plants are planted.
"This is where Mrs. Meng lives?"
"Um."
Li Ting and Yan An stood in front of the fence and looked at the small garden carefully through the fence for about a quarter of an hour, but they didn't see anything like pea pods.
Seeing that Yan An was still staring at Xiao Yuan expressionlessly, Li Ting thought of Xie Bi'an's words and wanted to treat him as a sane being, so he said, "Have you found Wuyou Bean?"
He was silent and had no expression on his face.
Li Ting's expression was not unnatural at all, and he continued to ask interestingly: "Which Wangyou Bean is it?"
"neither."
The voice was obviously not interesting, but it was familiar, old, gloomy, female.
Li Ting turned around and saw Po Meng's face. She was leaning on a cane. Although her eyes were gloomy, her eyebrows were calm.
He looked at the top of his head again, and saw that the red color had stopped flowing, and the ever-changing dark lines in it had also stopped, as if they had solidified.
"Hello, mother-in-law." Li Ting said politely.
Po Meng glanced at Yan An and Funny, then returned her gaze to Li Ting, "You're not satisfied with the soup, do you want some beans?"
"Yeah." Li Ting nodded and glanced at Xiao Yuanzi, saying, "I wonder where Wangyoudou is?"
"On that peak, there is a seal that enters the mountain. Only the King of Hell and I can break it." Meng Po pointed to a peak in Nanshan and said.
She obviously knew his purpose and told him clearly that without her, it would be impossible to get the Wangyou Bean.
After speaking, Mrs. Meng opened the fence and walked into the house. "Do you want to come in?" the old man said calmly.
If he didn't get the Forget-You-Bean, Li Ting was afraid that Yan An would wander around in the underworld, so he had to get the Forget-You-Bean, and he could only get it through Po Meng.
Silent ghosts cannot harm people, but I don’t know if there is any danger in that small courtyard...
Li Ting thought for a while and then walked in. Qingqu and Yan An also followed him.
Standing at the stone table in the small courtyard, everything was calm. Po Meng turned around and entered the dark cabin. Just when Li Ting was hesitant to follow her, Po Meng came out with a plate of things.
The old man sat on the stone bench next to the stone table and put things on the table.
Li hesitated after hearing this, then sat down, and then looked at the plate.
A plate of green pastries.
Po Meng looked at Fun and asked, "Would you like to eat?"
Funny glanced at the cake with emotionless eyes and shook his head.
As if she already knew the answer, Po Meng picked up a piece and ate it slowly.
"Why don't you eat?" Li Ting asked directly.
"No need." The little girl replied.
Li Ting remembered that Fun had brought him here, as if he was very familiar with the location of Nanshan, so he thought about it and asked, "Have you been here before?"
The little girl nodded, "I used to go to various places in the underworld. Po Meng would give me cakes every time, but I wouldn't eat them."
"You won't eat it if you don't need it?"
"Good boy, just eat what you need and do what you need." Qingqu tilted his head and said to Li Ting.
Li Ting touched her head and straightened it up.
Po Meng looked at his actions and suddenly said: "Do you want to eat?"
"What's this?"
"Worry-free bean cake." Meng Po said.
Li Ting looked at the cakes and remembered that every time he traveled between two worlds and felt dizzy and nauseated, drinking Meng Po soup would make him feel more comfortable. He felt a little moved and picked up a piece of worry-free bean cake and took a bite.
The taste is similar to Meng Po soup, but it has a rich and sweet bean aroma, which is very delicious.
He thought so and said to Po Meng, "It's delicious."
Li Ting even felt that if he ate another piece when he returned to the human world, his dizziness would be much better. Eating this food was kind and comfortable, and his mind would be clear and his thoughts would be clear.
Strange, could it be because Wuyou Bean was added when shaping the human body?
To a certain extent, his idea was correct. The King of Hell used Bana flowers and Ashoka beans to reshape his human body. His body was born out of these two spiritual herbs. Although the human body and plants are different, they are still the same.
source.
The underworld and the human world are in different spaces. One is filled with ghost energy, and the other is filled with spiritual energy. Every time he crosses the two realms, his body has to readjust to one world, and of course he will get dizzy.
However, food made from plants that have the same origin as the body can balance the inside and relieve this discomfort, so he would feel much better after drinking a bowl of Mengpo soup.
Only then will you feel that the taste of Wuyou Bean Cake is friendly.
After Li Ting finished one piece, he felt it was not enough, so he took another piece and chewed it in his mouth. The pastry was slightly moist and soft, which made him feel happy.
Po Meng just watched him eat quietly.
"Do you want it?" Po Meng said to Yan An.
Yan An said nothing.
This time Li Ting finally said: "Mother-in-law, he is a delusional ghost and has the power of a lonely ghost. I don't know what will happen if he drinks Meng Po soup, so I refuse it for him. Now if he eats this, I am also worried that he will think
I can’t afford to live in the past, so it’s better not to eat.”
A very patient explanation made Po Meng's eyes move away from Yan An and fall on him again.
"Ghost, isn't it good to forget the past?" the old man said slowly.
Li Ting thought for a while and then said: "It's good to be reincarnated as a ghost. It's good to forget the past, but only obsessions remain. If you don't solve it, you may be swallowed up by resentment."
"Forgetting the obsession doesn't count as a solution?" Po Meng continued to ask.
This time Li Ting was stunned. The bearded King of Hell had said that only by waking up ghosts from their obsessions can they regain their memories and feelings during life and become living ghosts.
So Fun told him to fulfill his obsession.
Listening to Po Meng's words at this time, he actually thought, does forgetting one's obsessions count as waking up from one's obsessions? Will the delusional ghost turn into a living ghost after that?
Probably not. Li Ting stared at the Wangyou bean cake in his hand and thought, if it was that simple, what kind of ghost master would be needed? Wouldn't it be nice to let the ghost drink a few more bowls of Meng Po soup?
He put the pastry into his mouth again, and after finishing the piece, he said: "It doesn't matter, the ghost only has obsession. It can be seen that it forgets everything and is unwilling to give up. How can it be solved by forgetting."
Po Meng looked at him obediently, but did not let Yan An eat any more cakes.
"You want Wangyou Bean?" Po Meng looked at him for a while and then said suddenly.
"I wonder how you can give it to me?" Li Ting responded sincerely.
"There is a ten-leaf blackberry in my vegetable garden. If you can find it, I will give you the forget-you-bean." Po Meng said slowly. This chapter has been completed!
