I become a god in another world

Chapter 684 The Law of Meng Po
Chapter 684

The ghost repeats the obsessions it had in life.

Years later, the tragedy was presented to Meng Po in a different guise.

During her journey from Wan'an County to the capital, Meng Po passed through Jin County and revisited the Sun family mansion from years ago, where she uncovered the truth behind the ghost case.

But when she saw Shen Yishu's ghost appear, then be caught in the cycle of reincarnation, then be pulled into the sea of ​​blood, and then the vengeful ghost dismembered everything in the Ghost Mirror's cycle of reincarnation without her noticing, Meng Po still couldn't help but feel grief.

Her daughter fell into misfortune and was thought to be doomed, but unexpectedly, she found happiness and a good match.

Just as Shen Yishu was joyfully preparing to embrace a new life and looking forward to spending her life with Sun Shaoyin, disaster struck again.

Her life ended on her happiest day.

Thus, her obsession in life caused her to be resurrected as a vengeful ghost, and after death, the laws of vengeful ghosts continued to govern her last wish: to find her mother.

That blood-stained letter, which was never sent at the time but ended up in Meng Po's hands by a twist of fate after her death, changed Meng Po's life forever.

……

If it weren't for Zhang the Paper Doll's interference, Meng Po might have had a happy life.

She will successfully protect her daughter, see her off on her marriage, and watch her grow up surrounded by children and grandchildren.

She might live a life with her husband, instead of a life of constant wandering and suffering.

However, without these events, she would have remained confined to her inner quarters, unaware of the outside world, unable to travel the land, and would never have met Zhao Fusheng. She wouldn't even have dared to imagine that she would join the Demon Suppression Division and meet these like-minded companions.

The twins, Da Fan and Xiao Fan, have completely different personalities; Wu Shaochun is mature beyond his years but honest and reliable; and Liu Yizhen is sharp-tongued but loyal to his companions.

There was also Zhang Chuanshi, who was afraid of death but ultimately willing to die for everyone.

Kuai Manzhou, all alone, and Chen Duozi, gentle as water.

Even Magistrate Pei of Wan'an County and the many servants in his household brought her a different kind of warmth from home.

If none of this had happened, she would have been just an ordinary, unremarkable woman confined to the kitchen and living quarters, revolving around the boiler, her husband, and her daughter, and feeling uneasy in her old age.

But now that she is involved in solving ghost cases and has witnessed human suffering, what she sees, hears, and thinks is completely different from what she did back then.

Meng Po's state of mind began to undergo a dramatic change.

She suddenly had a sudden realization.

"My life has had its sweet and bitter moments, its gains and losses. But God has been kind to me; though I lost my daughter and my husband, He has given me family in return—"

Bloody tears slowly welled up in the corners of her eyes, and a terrifying aura of resentment began to surge from her body.

The blood moon above Meng Po's head began to shine brightly, and a strong medicinal aroma wafted out, both bitter and seemingly mixed with sweetness, before finally dissipating into nothingness.

Why be so attached? When a person dies, it's like a lamp going out; everything starts anew, everything starts anew.

She murmured twice, then reached into the skull and scooped out a spoonful of medicine:
"If you wish to be reincarnated, please walk the road to the underworld. The underworld is boundless, but turning back is the shore. Before embarking on this path, please drink a bowl of soup from this old woman—"

Her gaze fell on the bowl of medicine she held in her hand, her eyes filled with pity:

"All that happened in this life is an illusion. It's better to forget it all, to come into this world in a daze, and to leave it clean of worldly attachments."

Meng Po's words seemed to be a soliloquy; it was unclear who she was speaking to.

But when she raised the bowl of soup and uttered those words, the unique laws governing Meng Po were activated.

The notification sound from the Investiture of the Gods rang in Zhao Fusheng's mind:

A bowl of Meng Po soup, and you'll forget the past.

She experienced all eight kinds of suffering in life.

Having experienced the pain of separation, the resentment of meeting those one hates, the inability to obtain what one desires, and the enduring nature of resentment, she gained enlightenment at the end of her life. She added a unique secret recipe of her own to brew this special and unparalleled Meng Po soup, which she wishes to offer to all people in the world.

We come into this world in ignorance, and we should leave it cleansed of worldly attachments.

When a vengeful ghost drinks this bowl of Meng Po's wine, it will wash away its obsessions from its previous life, become a spirit, and forget all its past.

Without age, without gender, with laws erased, wandering the world, can it coexist with humans?
The host is alerted that an unknown entity has revived.

When she starts simmering that pot of soup, no evil spirit in the world can refuse it.

Drinking this bowl of Meng Po soup washes away all the mortal dust and worldly affairs, forgetting love and hate, joy and evil, returning to the original source.

Host, would you like to drink this bowl of Meng Po soup?

As soon as the notification sound for the Investiture of the Gods ended, Zhao Fusheng's body trembled.

Meng Po's figure flashed, and in an instant, she seemed to transform into countless afterimages as she walked out from where she was sitting.

She walked toward Cheng Mengyin, toward Wu Ciping, toward Ding Datong, toward those 'people' in Wuqing County who had rolled around in the Pool of Reincarnation and were subsequently resurrected, toward the Ghost Mirror, toward the people of the Imperial Capital, and at the same time toward Kuai Manzhou and a group of people from Wan'an County.

Before Zhao Fusheng appeared the ghostly figure of Meng Po, smiling as she held a bowl of soup in her hands.

Meng Po's laws have been activated, and no one in the world can refuse her invitation.

Fortunately, Zhao Fusheng was protected by the Investiture of the Gods. As she reached out to take the soup, a thought flashed through her mind: I won't drink it!

A notification sound from the Investiture of the Gods plays: Use 50000 merit points to suppress the temptation of Meng Po's soup for you.

The moment his merit points were deducted, Zhao Fusheng felt a great sense of relief and instinctively turned his head away.

She withdrew her hand:
"If you don't want it, take it away!"

Meng Po's face darkened.

Although she was still smiling, a fierce look had appeared in her eyes.

"That old woman has really gone mad with killing."

As soon as Zhao Fusheng regained consciousness, he immediately shouted:
"Meng Po, wake up! The problem of the Blood Pool of Reincarnation hasn't been resolved yet, and the Paper Doll Zhang hasn't been subdued. It's not time for your vengeful ghost to revive!"

"The external enemy has not been eliminated, but our own people have started fighting each other first."

Zhao Fusheng's stern shout was like the sound of thunder, and Meng Po's body stiffened.

She slowly raised her head, and then the shadows that had been moving in all directions froze in place.

"Hehe, as people get old, they become confused for a moment. Luckily, an elder reminded me—"

As soon as she finished speaking, her mind raced, and countless ghostly figures bending over to hold bowls quickly disappeared from in front of Wang Zhiyi, Yu Lingzhu, and the others, returning to Meng Po's body.

……

"Just now—"

Wang Zhiyi was so frightened that he broke out in a cold sweat.

The events of just now were still vivid in her mind. She had originally led Miao Yougong and others to surround a pool of reincarnation blood, but for some reason, Meng Po suddenly appeared in front of her and brought her a bowl of soup.

If Zhao Fusheng hadn't reminded her quickly, she probably would have already drunk it.

"What exactly is this stuff? What will happen after I drink it?"

Wang Zhiyi wiped the remaining powder from her face, which was damp with sweat, and wanted to turn her head to ask Jiang Jinshan a question—but in the instant she turned her head, she did not see that familiar, ugly face.

She then realized that she would never see that face again in her life; the two of them would be together for all eternity, but could never embrace.

The thought of this stirred up resentment and anger in her heart, which then fueled the evil spirit, making her even more out of control.

On the other end, Yu Lingzhu was also quite shocked.

She was originally very confident in her ability to recall the past, but when Meng Po brought the soup, she didn't notice at all.

She had a premonition that if she drank this unknown herbal soup, terrible consequences might occur.

The people of Wan'an County are all incredibly capable!

Even Meng Po possesses supernatural powers that rival those of a king.

Miao Yougong and the other ghost-controlling warriors of the capital were also filled with fear and lingering apprehension. Inside the Blood Pool of Reincarnation, some of the resurrected 'people' could not resist the temptation and had already drunk the Meng Po soup.

The moment they drank the Meng Po soup, these people immediately let go of their obsessions, turning into a wisp of gray mist that lingered above the pool of blood in the cycle of reincarnation.

They solidify and cannot disperse, neither entering the cycle of reincarnation to be reborn, nor escaping this place. In the end, they can only become malevolent energy, devouring this ghostly realm.

As soon as Meng Po regained consciousness, she immediately perked up and started working.

She looked at the blood mirror.

The ghosts in the mirror are fighting and killing each other, their cycle of reincarnation repeating itself, recounting the grievances of the past.

But now, Meng Po's state of mind had changed repeatedly. When she saw this scene again, she sighed and waved to the mirror:

"Come here, have some soup."

The ghost mirror trembled violently.

The two demons began to clash over their power laws, with the Reincarnation Blood Mirror attempting to resist the 'temptation' of the Meng Po soup.

But this soup is unique and unparalleled in the world.

Those who suffered hardship in life will find bitterness in their soup;
Those who were happy in life will find contentment in the soup.

……

The Ghost Rank of the Reincarnation Blood Mirror was originally not bad, but it had been divided and its power was complex. In addition, Zhao Fusheng split the Reincarnation Blood Pool, which put it at a disadvantage.

Meng Po handed the soup to the Ghost Mirror, and ripples spread across its surface. The bowl of soup in Meng Po's hand was now empty.

The image in the mirror began to shake violently.

In a short while, the laws within the mirror shattered. Whether it was the ghostly curses filled with strange runes, the blood mirror that dragged people into reincarnation, or the vengeful ghost Tang Min hidden within the mirror, all of them were instantly disintegrated by the laws of the Meng Po soup.

The Blood Mirror crumbled instantly, turning into a calm pool of blood that appeared before Meng Po.

The creatures and vengeful spirits that had once been cleansed in the pool began to revive.

As people climbed out of the Ghost Pool, about to walk out, they were irresistibly drawn by the Meng Po soup and headed towards Meng Po.

After drinking the Meng Po soup, the body disintegrated and turned into ashes, flying into the air.

The gray mist quickly clumped together, coalescing into a single point, gradually transforming into a heavy, oppressive dark cloud that loomed over the sky.

……

Meng Po took immediate action and brought the situation under control.

At the same moment, the Fan brothers and others also fixed their eyes on a pool of surging blood.

The pool of blood rippled outwards, and countless 'people' who had experienced reincarnation crawled out of it.

These people had just recovered and hadn't yet scattered and fled when they heard Cheng Mengyin's stern shout:

"We can't let these intruders disrupt the cycle of reincarnation and break the rules!"

Cheng Mengyin had initially thought that dealing with these intruding ghost tamers would be a very simple matter—after all, when he broke into Wuqing County back then, he had suffered a great deal of trouble in Wuqing County with his own strength.

Fortunately, he realized his mistake in time and, with the backing of the Chang family, and by leveraging the lingering bond he had with Old Madam Chang from years ago, he became the adjudicator of the laws of Wuqing County.

Over the years, Wuqing County has experienced many major events, but all the ghost tamers who have entered this place have never returned, which has given him even more confidence in the existence of the Chang family.

When Zhao Fusheng and others entered the prefecture, they participated in the sacrificial ceremony, which allowed him to share some of Zhao Fusheng and others' life memories at the first opportunity.

He hadn't taken these people seriously at first, thinking that this time the Ghost Masters would just be like before: these people would first rebel, then be suppressed by the Chang family's laws, become 'sacrifices' to the Chang family, then be bound by reincarnation, and finally become unknown ants under this set of laws.

But what happened next shattered his understanding.

Zhao Fusheng was able to split the Reincarnation Blood Pool and pull out the 'person' that Cheng Mengyin thought would never truly die completely from the cycle of reincarnation.

The Kuai Manzhou she brought was able to devour a portion of the Ghost Pool, and Meng Po even helped these 'people' pass on to the afterlife.

Cheng Mengyin originally thought that under the protection of the Chang family, the power of reincarnation could make people immortal, but seeing someone completely 'disappear' now made her mental defenses crumble.

The fact that he almost drank the Meng Po soup filled him with even greater fear.

He experienced a feeling of death that he hadn't felt in decades.

"If the rules of reincarnation are broken, everyone will die! We cannot allow them to disrespect the master and offend the gods!"

Cheng Mengyin shouted with a gloomy face:

“Drag these rule-breakers into the cycle of blood.”

His voice wasn't loud, but the moment he finished speaking, it seemed to reach the ears of every 'person' in Wuqing County.

On the streets, in the houses, and within the remaining pools of reincarnation blood, all the 'people' turned their heads.

Millions of eyes were fixed on the intruder at the same time.

"not good!"

Yu Lingzhu inwardly cursed.

Just then, Zhao Fusheng spoke:

"The people of the Imperial Capital's Demon Suppression Division gathered in one place to guard against the resurgence of evil spirits."

In this chaotic moment of life and death, her words were like a guiding light, and everyone instinctively obeyed her commands.

“These ‘people’ can turn into ghosts and possess the skill of calling back souls. They will ignore anyone who shouts or speaks except for me. After the ordinary envoys hide from the ghost tamers, the ghost tamers of the capital will guard a pool of blood. I don’t care what methods you use, just make sure the ‘ghosts’ in the blood pool don’t revive.”

Her words immediately relieved the pressure on Miao Yougong and the others.

Although the Reincarnation Blood Pool is terrifying, it is also extremely large. After the decomposition, the people of the Imperial Capital will only have to deal with one of the many aspects of it. In comparison, the people of Wan'an County will face much greater pressure.

They divided and dealt with many blood pools, which was extremely dangerous.

Cheng Mengyin also heard Zhao Fusheng's words, and she coldly curled the corners of her lips:

"Overestimating one's abilities—"

With those cold words, everyone in Wuqing County vanished from the spot.

"First, address the root cause."

Cheng Mengyin shouted.

He faced an empty street and a deserted mansion, yet he was extremely confident, as if certain that someone would carry out his orders.

As soon as he finished speaking, black energy surged through the streets and mansions.

In the darkness, a million voices began to shout in unison:

"Zhao Fusheng, Zhao Fusheng!"

The soul-calling has begun!

The voices included men, women, and children. They were once gentry and merchants of Wuqing County, or commoners and servants. Whether they were high-ranking officials or nobles or ordinary people and peddlers in life, they have all become ghosts of Wuqing County.

As soon as Cheng Mengyin gave the command, they all began calling Zhao Fusheng's name simultaneously:

"Zhao Fusheng!"

"Zhao Fusheng!"

With each shout, Zhao Fusheng's body trembled.

The voice seemed like a steel knife that could cut through bones, piercing into Zhao Fusheng's soul along with the shouts of millions of people, and began to stir violently.

　I haven't had a break in a long time. I might take two days off at the end of the month. I'll probably ask for leave tomorrow, so please don't refresh the page.
