Chapter 516: Meng Po Soup
"It's beyond my expectation that the Human Emperor is so powerful. I wonder how he cultivated himself?" The female ghost said with a smile. The four Golden Immortals are only worth four punches in front of Jiang Li.
The two walked on the Yellow Springs Road, chatting casually. The fiery red flowers of the other shore were blooming on the roadside. From a distance, the Yellow Springs Road looked like a carpet paved with blood.
Jiang Li said without thinking, as if it was a matter of course.
"It's very simple. Use the infinite spiritual energy to break through the shackles of the Tribulation Stage and reach the Mahayana Stage. Then practice all the time, and naturally you will have the current level of cultivation."
"…The Emperor is such a joke. This is impossible. We have arrived at the Samsara Zone. There are two Yamas, Equality and Wheeling, in charge of the Samsara Zone."
Jiang Li praised it and felt that the underworld had great learning value: "King Yama judges. There is one Yama in each of the three paths of heaven, human and animal. There are four Yamas in the four hells, and there are two here. The ten Yamas each have their own duties, and the underworld is well organized. It's really good, but I don't know which part Hou Tu Huang Ji is responsible for?"
Before the ladder to immortality was disconnected, the Immortal Emperor was the one in charge of the immortal world. The Immortal Emperor established the Heavenly Court, which was considered the orthodoxy of the immortal world. However, the Immortal Emperor's position as the Nine Nine Supremes was somewhat awkward.
He is the youngest Hunyuan Wuji Immortal. The Taoist Ancestor, the Buddhist Ancestor, the Confucian Sage, and the Yuanzu are nominally under the jurisdiction of the Heavenly Court, but when it comes to taking action, whether these four will take action depends on their mood.
However, the Immortal Emperor also has real abilities, otherwise he would not be able to hold the position of the Lord of Heaven. Before the three corpses of Daozu merged into one, he and Daozu fought and were evenly matched.
In comparison, the rule of the underworld is easy, and Hou Tu Huang can have absolute ruling power.
To be specific, if Hou Tu Huang wanted to not get involved, he would do so and no one could stop him.
The female ghost forced a smile and said, "Hou Tu Huang Ji is in charge of the overall situation and does not care about specific matters. Her position is very important, so she is definitely not indifferent. Come, let's not talk about this. I will introduce you to the process of reincarnation."
On the road to the underworld, Jiang Li and the female ghost are not the only two people there. In addition, there are a large number of ghosts who are rushing to reincarnate. However, most of them are not reincarnated into the human world, but into the animal world.
"There are fewer and fewer worlds to reincarnate into. There are many worlds where there are no traces of humans anymore, only animals. These ghosts are reincarnated into the animal realm."
"I'm not afraid of being laughed at by the Emperor of Humanity. The underworld is already operating at full capacity and can barely hold any more ghosts."
The area of the underworld is far larger than that of Kyushu, but no matter how large the underworld is, it is impossible to accommodate all the ghosts in the heavens and myriad worlds.
"Why don't you consider expanding the scope of the underworld?"
"It cannot be expanded. The underworld is the embodiment of the rules of reincarnation. How big the underworld is is not something we can decide or change."
The two walked to the end of the Yellow Springs Road and stepped onto the Naihe Bridge. There were two kinds of ghost messengers patrolling the bridge, the Day Wandering God and the Night Wandering God. Under the bridge was the filthy and unapproachable Wangchuan River.
Jiang Li stretched his head and looked, and found that there were many wandering ghosts in the Wangchuan River. The wandering ghosts stretched out their arms, as if they wanted to pull the dead souls on the bridge into the river.
This was in vain, as the Forgetful River and the Naihe Bridge were several thousand meters apart, causing the actions of the ghosts to appear somewhat ridiculous.
"Where do these ghosts come from?"
"They are all ghosts who want to reincarnate secretly. Some of them can't wait to line up and reincarnate early. Some don't want to take Meng Po soup to forget their past lives and want to swim across the Forgotten River. As a result, you can see that these ghosts can't come out of the Forgotten River and can't reincarnate. They watch other ghosts reincarnate and they are jealous, so they want to pull other ghosts down."
"For example, the couple who died for love swore before their death that they would never forget each other and would be together in the next life. They were determined not to drink Meng Po soup."
The female ghost sneered: "How ridiculous! If you don't forget your past life and want to be together in the next life, that's not reincarnation, that's living a new life. You simply don't take the rules of the underworld seriously."
"Everyone has a past that they don't want to forget. Why are they the only ones who want to be special? If everyone were like them, the order of life and death would be messed up. What naughty kids."
The female ghost has seen many people like this: "When they think clearly in the Forgotten River, we will fish them out."
Walking to the back of the bridge, Jiang Li saw a group of ghost officials carrying Meng Po soup and letting the dead souls drink it.
The female ghost said: "Before, several golden immortals from the fairy world found the underworld and broke the boundary wall of the underworld. They came here and made the souls who were supposed to reincarnate in Jiuzhou come to Jiuzhou without taking Mengpo soup."
"The King of Wheels and the King of Equality attacked at the same time, fighting against the Golden Immortals of the Immortal Realm. The Black and White Impermanence who were out also rushed back quickly to protect the dead souls, otherwise the underworld would have suffered considerable losses."
Jiang Li then knew where the souls that drifted to Kyushu came from.
"Why do I remember that it was Po Meng who brought the Po Meng soup in the folk legend?"
This group of ghost officials includes both men and women, young and old, and they have nothing to do with Meng Po in any way.
The female ghost rolled her eyes and said, "Where did Meng Po come from to serve Meng Po soup? There are so many ghosts who need to be reincarnated, and we specially find an old woman to serve the soup? It's good enough that there is someone serving it."
"If you really want to find Meng Po, there is one too." The female ghost pointed at an old lady who was making soup at the end of the bridge, "Her name is Meng Po."
“…”
For some reason, Jiang Li suddenly thought of Yangzhou fried rice. The chef was called Yangzhou, and the rice cooked was called Yangzhou fried rice.
The ghosts cried and screamed before taking Meng Po soup. They were unwilling to forget their past lives and unwilling to be reincarnated as animals. After taking Meng Po soup, they all became confused and dazed, and the same was true for those who had cultivated themselves.
Jiang Li noticed that Meng Po put a bag of tiny crystals in the Meng Po soup, which looked very familiar.

The female ghost curled her lips and said, "This Meng Po soup has no effect on Dao Zu. Dao Zu drank a pot of it and commented that it has no salt taste. Since then, Meng Po has always added salt when she makes Meng Po soup."
“But that presents a problem.”
"What's the problem?"
"No one can taste whether there is too much salt or too little. After drinking Meng Po's soup, people even forget the taste of salt, so how can they know whether it is salty or not?"
"Does Meng Po soup only work on Hou Tu Huang?"
"I'm not sure. If it works, wouldn't it be a big trouble?"
“…”
The female ghost asked, "Would Emperor Jiang want to try it?"
Jiang Li felt playful and took a sip.
The female ghost stared at Jiang Li with burning eyes: "Do you still remember that you are the ruler of the underworld? You manage the underworld day and night and never rest."
"...Ghost sister, I haven't lost my memory, and this soup is too salty."
Jiang Li asked Meng Po to put in one bag at a time, half a bag of salt would be enough.
At the end of the Naihe Bridge is a stone tablet. Countless ghosts are sucked into the tablet, having their cultivation washed away and becoming faceless baby-like souls.
Behind the stone tablet is a passage. The faceless baby's soul enters the passage and is sent to the heavens and all realms.
Once they find their reincarnation partner, their souls will gradually change into their appearance in the next life.
"The Dao Ancestor's cultivation was profound, and the Six Paths of Reincarnation Stele could not completely erase his cultivation. In the end, the stele was broken, and only then did the Dao Ancestor's cultivation completely disappear."
"The current stone tablet was re-refined by Hou Tu Huang Ji."
