Chapter 124: Naihe Bridge, Meng Po

In order to cross the Forget River, Yun Xiang and his party had to follow Heibai Wuchang along the river. This time, even though everyone tried their best to speed up, they walked for more than two hours before they saw a big road not far away, with many ghosts on the road.

Xie Bi'an pointed to that road and introduced to Yun Xiang and the others: "That is the famous Huangquan Road in the world. If the people in the world die, their souls will need to walk from that road to the underworld. The bridge connected to that road is the Naihe Bridge."

Huangquan Road and Naihe Bridge are all legendary existences. Yun Xiang quickly looked over and saw that most of the ghosts on the road were dejected and walked towards the Forgetful River. There were also many ghosts patrolling back and forth on the road. When they saw a ghost walking slowly, they would go up and question, and even punch and kick. It was a very orderly scene.

As for Naihe Bridge, it is a wide wooden bridge, about ten meters wide, but it is still much narrower than Huangquan Road, so most ghosts gather at the bridgehead and line up to cross the bridge.

Lu Fang couldn't help but frown and said, "Two brothers Wuchang, there are so many people on this bridge. Could it be that we have to line up too?"

Xie Bi'an said: "It's not enough to line up, but I must give you some detailed instructions on crossing the bridge so as not to cause trouble."

Lu Fangqi said: "But what danger is there on this bridge?"

Xie Bi'an said helplessly: "There is a guard on this bridge called Meng Po, which will make people drink her forgetful soup. The soup is made of secret medicine. Once it is drunk, it will lose memory. It is extremely powerful, so we have to make a plan to cross the bridge."

Meng Po? This is another legendary character. Thinking about seeing her after a while, Yun Xiang was really nervous.

Lu Fangqi said: "Two guys, can you not even give me the face of you two?"

Xie Bi'an shook his head and said, "Brothers, this Meng Po is a person sent by the Netherworld Bodhisattva. The purpose of giving people the forgetfulness here is to make things difficult for us Fengdu City. Since she arrived at Naihe Bridge more than 300 years ago, she would not even give face to the Ten Palaces of Yanjun, so how could she give us face? Moreover, her cultivation is extraordinary and she is a master with a certain number of famous Bodhisattvas. If there is a real conflict, I am afraid we will not be able to get it."

Huh? Why is it another conflict between the Netherworld Bodhisattva and the Ten Palaces of Yanjun? Since the underworld has been called, such conflicts are really everywhere.

Thinking of this, Yun Xiang couldn't help but ask: "Brother Xie, I have heard people mention this about Meng Po in the mortal world, but I don't know how she was in a dilemma with you Fengdu City?"

Xie Bi'an sighed and said, "Brother, think about it, the Ten Palaces of Yan in Fengdu City have been known for their selflessness since ancient times, and they are engaged in rewarding good and punishing evil. Each Yan Lord has more than ten major judges and thousands of small judges. Whenever there are ghosts from the world coming, they will be held for trial and decided to reward and punish. Who would not praise the word fair? After rewarding good and punishing evil, then throw the ghost into the reincarnation spectrum to polish away the memories of the previous life and reincarnate, which is the principle of reincarnation.

But since Meng Po went to Naihe Bridge, she thought that people had cut off their relationship and gave them a soup of forgetfulness in advance. When they were taken to Fengdu City, their memories were gone, so how could the case be tried? Wouldn't the matter of opening the church be completely a joke?"

Yun Xiangqi said, "Don't your underworld have a life and death book? Then you can find out when you investigate good and evil things. Even if you lose your memory, you should be able to examine them, right?"

Xie Bi'an shook his head and said, "The Book of Life and Death is the treasure of my underworld. It is jointly managed by the Lord of the Ten Palaces. It is not easy to show anyone. The judge only imitates the volumes he created. How can he record all the life of the characters with just a few strokes on the volume? There are many hidden stories that cannot be found if you do not interrogate them carefully. In recent years, people often say that our underworld officials are obscure and unjust cases are like mountains. In fact, they are all thanks to this Meng Po."

Yun Xiang suddenly realized and said, "So, Meng Po is indeed damaging the Ten Palaces of Yanjun. The Netherworld Bodhisattva sent her here to do things. Could it be that the Ten Palaces of Yanjun let it go?"

Xie Bi'an said: "At the beginning, the ten Yanjuns were naturally opposed, but the Netherworld Bodhisattva kept saying that sentient beings were equal and that they wanted to decide whether to drink the Forget Soup. This reason was impossible for Yanjun to refute. But you think, except for being a true gentleman who is really open-minded, who would be willing to let his background be clearly found by the underworld? How many people in the world have never done such a dark room? Among the 100 people, ninety-nine were willing to drink the Forget Soup, so in the end, Yanjun was not in trouble with this matter."

When everyone heard this, they felt a little sigh. This Netherworld Bodhisattva was indeed extraordinary and had the name of compassion, but he destroyed the order of the underworld since ancient times. He was really a powerful character.

Yun Xiang said: "Since that's the case, how should we cross the bridge so that we can avoid drinking the forgetful soup?"

Xie Bi'an nodded and said, "First of all, except for the two of Longshan Mountain Gods and the Fine Ghosts, the rest of them must use the Styx River water to cover up the yang energy on their bodies. This may require five years of life for mortals, but I think you are at least the cultivation level of the Great Sage of the Demon Clan, and you can recover with just one exercise afterwards, so it should be fine."

Yun Xiang frowned, looked at everyone, but finally his eyes fell on Hu Ning. He had the lowest cultivation level and was afraid he would not be able to bear it.

Seeing this, Hu Ning hurriedly said, "Uncle Yun, I'm fine, don't worry, I will definitely not drag everyone down."

Yun Xiang nodded then and turned to Xie Bi'an and said, "This is fine, is there anything else?"

Xie Bi'an said: "The next thing is the most important thing. You must be open-minded and firmly keep your memories and go to Fengdu City for trial. In this way, we can also speak for you, and I guess that Meng Po will not force you."

Yun Xiang suddenly breathed a sigh of relief and smiled, "This is easier, both of you just need to worry."

At this moment, Wuzhiqi, who was standing beside him, suddenly said, "Why do you have to be so troublesome? As far as I see, if Meng Po dares to talk too much, we will deal with her, which can be regarded as showing kindness to the Ten Palace Yan Jun, Yuansheng acts so timidly."

Yun Xiang smiled bitterly and said to Wuzhiqi: "Senior Wu, we have important things here. If we act so recklessly and provoke Netherworld Bodhisattva, nothing will be done."

Wuzhiqi was about to refute, but he heard Jiang Ji on the side speak out with a rare glance: "Listen to Yun Xiang."

In this way, Wuzhiqi did not dare to object anymore, and everyone quickly took action according to the plan.
