Meng Po, a deity in the Netherworld, is in charge of Meng Po Soup, which is a magical potion that makes people forget the memories of their past lives. Legend has it that before being reincarnated, every soul has to taste a bowl of Meng Po soup in the hands of Meng Po to completely forget all the memories of the previous life and start a new life. However, what if Meng Po didn't hold back from tasting it while cooking Meng Po soup?
On that day, Meng Po stood in the smoky soup room of the Netherworld, holding an ancient copper spoon and stirring the boiling Meng Po soup. The aroma is tangy, and the soup noodles have a faint golden color, which is seductive and mysterious. Suddenly, she couldn't help it, and gently scooped a spoonful of the hot Meng Po soup and brought it to her mouth.
A flash of confusion and hesitation flashed in Meng Po's eyes, but she still made up her mind. A mouthful of Meng Po soup entered her mouth, warm and bitter, as if it had traveled through time and space, touching her long-dormant soul. She closed her eyes and immersed herself in the moment, as if she had returned to her past life.
For a while, Meng Po seemed to see what she used to be. She was a young and beautiful woman with long jet-black hair and clear eyes. She lives in an old village and lives with her family and love. There are green mountains and green waters, harmony and tranquility. Meng Po felt the bits and pieces of her previous life, like pictures emerging in her mind.
However, as Meng Po is deeply trapped, the memories of her past life also bring with them the emotions of her past life. She felt the laughter and tears of the past, and experienced the vicissitudes of the world. At that moment, Meng Po seemed to have turned into two beings, half the mysterious Meng Po and half the former mortal.
She saw her parents, siblings, and felt how much they missed her. She saw her former lover, the one who accompanied her through happy times. Then, she saw her own death, the pain of her relatives and endless thoughts. All this was like a dream, which made Meng Po fall into deep thought.
At this moment, Meng Po forgot that she was Meng Po, and she also forgot that she was the god of the underworld. She is just a soul that once circulated in the world, experiencing the baptism of reincarnation. Her mind swayed in the past of her previous life, as if she had returned to a time and space long gone.
However, as time passed, Meng Po gradually came to her senses. She realizes that she is Meng Po, the deity responsible for cooking Meng Po soup. She showed a wry smile, and endless emotion welled up in her heart. She knew that all this was just a short-lived dream, and she couldn't stay in the memories of her previous life, and her responsibility was to continue to cook Meng Po soup for all sentient beings, so that they could forget their past lives and be reincarnated.
Meng Po took a deep breath and threw herself back into the cooking of Meng Po soup. She knew that she could no longer indulge in the emotions of her previous life, and that her mission was to guard the order of reincarnation. She silently cooks Meng Po soup for each soul, so that they can start a new life and forget the troubles and worries of their previous lives.
