An old voice sounded, as if it had not spoken for thousands of years. It was a bit hoarse, but more desolate and cold.

Li Zhi was suddenly startled. At some point, the ghosts in front of and behind him disappeared.

There is no gurgling river in front of me, nor can I see those ghostly flowers.

Some are just a yard and a thatched hut. In front of the hut, an old woman is hunched over, struggling to stir a large pot of porridge-like stuff.

Li Zhi unconsciously raised his nose and smelled it. What does it smell like?

Sour, sweet, bitter, spicy, salty, it seems that all kinds of tastes are occupied. Every time he distinguishes one of the tastes, Li Zhi's heart sinks a little and his consciousness becomes blurred.

"Not good——"

Saying it was bad, Li Zhi hurriedly called out to the twelfth-grade pure world white lotus in the sea of ​​​​consciousness. Suddenly, a fresh lotus scent filled Li Zhi's consciousness, and the numbness and vagueness gradually disappeared.

"Yes, yes, my little brother is so young, this kind of determination is really rare..."

The old voice just now came again. After listening to the voice and identifying its location, Li Zhi locked it on the old woman busy in front of the hut.

"My Excellency, Li Zhi, has met the seniors. Did the seniors summon the juniors here just now?——"

Even if he has never been to the underworld, Li Zhi understands that he was moved here without knowing it.

What kind of magical power is this?

At least, Li Zhi's "Golden Eyes of Destruction" could not tell the cultivation state of the old woman in front of him.

If you hadn’t said that she was not a practitioner, would you really believe it?

The "Golden Eye of Destruction" can be regarded as a magical power that Li Zhi relies on very much. However, over the years, there are far more times when he cannot see through the opponent's cultivation level than when he can see through it.

Especially at the current "blue level" level, which is one level away from becoming a master, but a situation like this occurs. Is it possible that this old woman is also a "quasi-sage"?

Li Zhi was very depressed. He had been practicing hard for so many years, but he found more and more that there were too many strong players in the Three Realms, and a big guy could pop up at any time, a quasi-sage.

"It's rare. I didn't expect that my little brother is actually a person who knows etiquette? Yes, it was the old lady who called you here."

"You are a person full of yang energy, but you have to pretend to be a ghost and go to the 'Naihe Bridge'. Aren't you afraid of falling into the 'Water of Forgetfulness'?"

"Why do such smart people do stupid things? Come on, I'm a little tired. Please help me stir the soup for a while..."

Li Zhi had an illusion that the old woman in front of him actually regarded him as her nephew, and he gave instructions casually and unceremoniously.

"Why haven't you come over yet? Do you still want my old lady to invite you?"

Li Zhi hesitated for a moment, and the old woman seemed about to get angry.

"Come here -"

Li Zhi was very obedient. He took two steps and came to the old woman's side.

The mixed feeling became even more intense. Li Zhi resisted the nausea and took the large stirring spoon from the old woman's hand. He stumbled and barely managed to drop the spoon on the ground.
p>

"Hey, today's young people are not working hard, they can't distinguish between grains, and they can't even hold a spoon. How can it happen? How can it happen..."

The old woman turned around unsteadily and took out a large black bowl from the cupboard on the side. I don't know what kind of material the bowl was made of. It was very rough. The key was that there was still residue on the bottom of the bowl.

A thick layer of rice residue?

"Concentrate your mind and use civil and military power to stir. Seven on the left, three on the right, nine on the top and one on the top. Two and four are shoulders, six and eight are five in the feet. Little brother, you can't spoil the old lady's pot of soup."<

/p>

Li Zhi could no longer speak. Is this spoon too heavy?

Li Zhi didn't measure it carefully, but it must be at least more than 100,000 kilograms. Fortunately, he is now in the body of a great witch, otherwise he might not be able to hold it.

According to the old woman’s tone, what kind of civil and military power is needed?

As for the following formula, Li Zhi is very familiar with it, but it is just a simple Nine Palace formula.

Li Zhi holds the handle of the soup spoon with both hands, pushes the yin with his left hand, and crosses the yang with the right hand. According to the formula, he imagines the entire cauldron as a nine-square grid.

The strength is slightly slower when encountering an unexpected situation, and becomes stronger when encountering an unexpected situation. Paddling up and down, left and right, I actually enter a state of selflessness.

"Who is this person? How can he have such understanding? He has the body of a great witch, but he can cultivate the soul. It's weird, weird..."

The old woman on the side just looked at Li Zhi, even counting with her hands in her sleeves for a long time, but she couldn't figure out Li Zhi's origin.

……

"A bowl of confusing soup passes through the intestines, and the past is blown away in the wind. Thousands of reincarnations are just to meet each other, and the fate is destined to last for three lives. The soup is also-"

Following the old woman's recitation, Li Zhi also woke up from a state of selflessness. The spoon in his hand was gone, but his arms were so sore that he seemed to have no strength to even lift it up.

"Little brother, just now you called yourself 'Li Zhi'? It looks like a human race, but why do you have the body of a great witch?"

The old woman finally asked her doubts.

"Dare I ask if your senior is Po Meng?"

Li Zhi gathered his thoughts, but he felt vague about what happened just now. He seemed to remember but also couldn't remember anything.

"Yes, the old woman is Mrs. Meng. You haven't answered the old woman yet. Such a young man is not polite..."

It turns out that this person is really the famous Po Meng?

Although Li Zhi had already made a judgment in his mind, when the old woman admitted it personally, Li Zhi was still shocked.

According to legend, Hou Tu, one of the twelve ancestral witches, felt miserable after the war between the lich and the ghosts of all living beings, so he transformed himself into reincarnation. From then on, the "Six Paths of Reincarnation" came about.

Therefore, Houtu was revered as the "Emperor of the Emperor who followed the example of Houtu". Together with the Jade Emperor, Gouchen Shanggong Emperor, Zhongtian North Pole Ziwei Emperor, East Pole Qinghua Emperor and Antarctic Changsheng Emperor, they were also known as the "Sixth Emperor".

Royal".

But in the underworld, the soul of Hou Tu was left to sit in charge, and she was the well-known "Ping Xin Empress".

However, Li Zhi knew that the Po Meng in front of him was Hou Tu's true body. Whether it was Cheng Tian who followed Hou Tu's example in the "Six Royals", or the Ping Xin Empress, they were just clones.
p>

"Human Li Zhi, I have met Senior Meng Po——"

After confirming the identity of the other party, Li Zhi stepped forward to greet him again. His respectful gesture was far better than when he first met with the Jade Emperor.

"Although this junior is from the human race, by chance, I met the great witch Hou Yi, and received a drop of the great witch's essence and blood from the great witch Hou Yi, so that I have the body of the great witch I am today."

Empress Houtu is known as the "Mother of the Earth" and is considered the most compassionate person since the dawn of time. She is many times more powerful than Buddhism in the West who talks about compassion every day.

"I see. In this way, you can be considered half a member of my witch clan now, and you can cultivate Yuanshen. Your future achievements will be limitless."

Po Meng looked at Li Zhi in front of her, with a strange light in her eyes.

The Wu Clan has long since declined, and at the level of Houtu, it is considered a transcendent existence from the race. Although she was born in the Wu Clan, what she cherishes in her heart is all living beings.

"I wonder why Brother Li took the risk and came to this underworld? You have to know that this place is not as simple as it seems on the surface. It is also a place where many forces are intertwined."

With the status of being half a witch, Po Meng no longer regarded Li Zhi as an outsider. With a wave of her hand, the pot of soup she had just cooked disappeared into the void.

That must be the "Meng Po Soup" that is famous in the three worlds.

It is said that "Meng Po Soup" is based on eight tears, one drop of raw tears, two cups of old tears, three cups of bitter tears, four cups of tears of regret, five cups of tears of lovesickness, six cups of tears during illness, seven feet of tears of separation, and this third cup contains tears.

Eight flavors are a drop of Meng Po’s sad tears.

"Meng Po Soup" uses the eight tears as a guide to remove the bitterness and leave the sweetness. Only by boiling it in one place can a good soup be made.

Li Zhi was somewhat regretful that he could not take some back to study whether this "Meng Po Soup" had other effects.

The reason why Li Zhi came to the underworld was to find the origin of the "Spiritual Stone Monkey" for Sun Wukong, but Sun Wukong himself only knew a general direction.

The underworld is so big. It’s just such a small thing. Where do you want Li Zhi to find it?

Besides, other people must not know about Sun Wukong. It is related to Sun Wukong’s life and death, or it is related to the face of Buddhism.

Once it is leaked under such circumstances, not only Sun Wukong will be difficult to recover, but even Li Zhi may not be able to protect himself.

"Little brother, do you have any unspeakable secrets? There are only you and me here. As long as you don't leave the old woman's small courtyard, even a saint may not be able to get a glimpse of it."

This is not that Meng Po is boasting. Although she is also in the realm of "quasi-sage", she is also in the body of an ancestral witch. Compared with the general "quasi-sage" who kills three corpses, the ancestral witch can be regarded as "proving the Tao with strength"

"Quasi Saint".

"It's not that I don't want to say it clearly, but this matter is actually very important. I'm afraid that my senior will be implicated, so..."

Who said Li Zhi is an "honest and reliable young gentleman"?

At this critical moment, you still have to play with the little tricks.

"Haha, you kid, do you still want to show off these little tricks in front of the old lady? Tell me, since the old lady asked you to say it, even if there is really some cause and effect, old lady, I will accept it."

I don’t know whether it was because of Li Zhi’s great witchcraft or because she hadn’t chatted with anyone for a long time, but Po Meng felt that she had an inexplicable affinity with Li Zhi in front of her.

With a wave of his sleeves, a table and two chairs and stools appeared in the small courtyard. What was placed on the table was the large, rough bowl just now.

"Senior, please give me a helping hand——"

With Po Meng's high status, Li Zhi no longer had to worry about anything. After all, he himself was confused and helpless now.
