Chapter 206: Meng Po on the Naihe Bridge
As soon as Lu Yue stepped into the house and saw Zhang Yaling appear, he suddenly remembered that it was still early and Zhang Yaling had not gone out to work part-time yet.

But...why was Zhang Yaling always looking at the door?

"People in the real world can't see us, right?" Lu Yue asked again.

Both Bai Shuai and Hei Shuai nodded.

Lu Yue turned his head again and looked at Zhang Yaling in front of him.

The other party has been staring at the door the whole time, could this be a coincidence?

It is said that some dogs can see things that humans cannot.

Lu Yue vaguely felt that Zhang Yaling's eyes were fixed on him.

"Zhang Yaling, can you hear me?" Lu Yue asked from a distance.

Zhang Yaling didn't move at all.

"Zhang Yaling, it's me."

Zhang Yaling seemed to be in a daze as if she had just woken up.

"Zhang Yaling, talk to me, I'll buy you something delicious."

Zhang Yaling was like the good baby in the emoticon package, with no reaction at all.

Finally, Lu Yue simply stretched out his hand and passed it directly through Zhang Yaling's body. Zhang Yaling was still unaware, as if she was sleepwalking.

Lu Yue secretly breathed a sigh of relief and began to walk towards the bedroom. When he reached the bedroom door, he suddenly shouted in surprise: "Hey, who dropped this dragon fruit?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Lu Yue turned around suddenly.

Just at this moment, Zhang Yaling suddenly turned her head.

The two pairs of eyes met in the air, colliding like lightning.

Wait, isn’t this the scene in the history books where the eagle looks at the wolf? ! ! !
Lu Yue clearly saw the desire for food flashing in Zhang Yaling's big eyes, but in an instant her pupils became dilated and she returned to her cute and harmless look.

There was a storm in Lu Yue's heart.

Zhang Yaling, you really don’t have human eyes.

What kind of eyes are these? They can even see the underworld! !

"Lu Yue, what's wrong?" The two handsome men, black and white, did not notice anything unusual.

At this time, Zhang Yaling yawned and went back to her room to sleep.

Everything looks very natural and smooth.

"It's okay." Lu Yue quickly shook his head.

Zhang Yaling’s secret cannot be exposed, at least for now.

Afterwards, the two handsome men, Black and White, came to the bedroom and summoned the white mist again.

The three of them returned to the world of the living, and Lu Yue put the bronze axe into his backpack.

"Okay, we're ready to go."

When the three of them returned to the underworld, looking at the exposed wooden handle of Lu Yue's backpack, Bai Shuai said, "Excuse me, which one in your bag is the natural evil weapon?"

Lu Yue hummed.

As expected of a member of the Demon Suppression Division headquarters, his knowledge is truly extraordinary.

"How did you get it?" Bai Shuai asked curiously.

Even the usually taciturn Hei Shuai showed envy on his face.

"It's very simple, just kill a Yin God." Lu Yue said lightly.

Black and white handsome: "..."

After returning to the underworld, Hei Shuai closed his eyes and determined the target location.

Following the previous process, we made another space jump and arrived near the stone bridge.

Unlike the real world, the stone bridge is surrounded by fog in the underworld.

At this time, the two handsome men, Black and White, also noticed the traces that they had been here before.

Apparently their amnesia also occurred here.

Now if you want to locate the wanted criminal, you must cross the bridge.

Just as the two of them were getting ready to cross the bridge, Lu Yue suddenly asked a question: "Why don't we just go across the bridge?"

Bai Shuai shook his head and explained to Lu Yue the limitations of traveling in the underworld.

Under normal circumstances, it is no problem to use it to travel quickly, but when encountering such a situation where there is obvious external interference, the space jump will fail. This may be because their clothes are not authorized enough, or they did not wear hats. However, they were severely warned by the headquarters when they became the black and white handsome men.

That is the clothes of the Black and White Impermanence, you are absolutely not allowed to wear them in full!!!
A group of three people stepped onto the stone bridge.

The fog was not thick at this time, but due to some unknown force, Lu Yue found that he could not see through the fog. It was clearly just a small river ten meters wide, but the other side was hazy.

The three direct descendants had also stepped onto this stone bridge before.

Logically speaking, Wu Li's eyes should be able to see through the fog.

So what happened next?
This stone bridge was much longer than the one in the real world, as if it was infinitely stretched. The three walked for several minutes but still could not see the end.

Until they saw a figure slowly emerging from the fog.

It turned out to be an old lady with dry and wrinkled skin, wearing tattered clothes, and a big pot in front of her.

Is this Meng Po? ! ! !
The two words "Meng Po" exploded in Lu Yue's mind like thunder.

He was surprised at first, and then his scalp felt slightly tingling.

If this is Meng Po, then could this bridge be the legendary Naihe Bridge?

Throughout the ages, there has been the cycle of life and death, and all things in the world cannot escape death. The Naihe Bridge is said to be the last hurdle for ghosts in the underworld. As long as you cross the bridge and drink the Mengpo soup, all the past will disappear.

If this person is really Meng Po, then everything about the amnesia incident makes sense.

"The real Naihe Bridge is not here, it's just a replica."

At this time, Bai Shuai's voice sounded beside Lu Yue.

"Can this thing be copied?" Lu Yue's face was full of disbelief.

Bai Shuai patiently explained: "The real Naihe Bridge is deep in the underworld. This is just a node on the periphery. It is impossible for it to appear here."

"Moreover, the water of the Nai River is blood-yellow, and countless corpses are buried in it. They will form a special kind of corpse spirit that confuses people who cross the bridge."

"Look at the river water under the bridge. It's calm and peaceful, just like any other river water."

Lu Yue walked to the bridge and leaned over to look.

Although the river water is a bit turbid, it is similar to ordinary river water.

The corpse souls that Bai Shuai mentioned are just like the pieced-together skeletons in Kuhai Village. Every major river throughout history is unique. Although the ghosts resurrected in these places can all be called water ghosts, they each have their own characteristics and there are some differences.

These are just the big rivers in the real world, not to mention the Naihe River, Huangquan River, Ruoshui and so on in myths and legends.

"Take another closer look at Meng Po." Heishai also said.

Lu Yue looked carefully and soon exclaimed in surprise. Although Meng Po was full of death aura, like a corpse, he could still vaguely feel a faint breath of life.

"Is this a living person?"

"That's right, she is indeed a living person, and a ghost chef." Bai Shuai said.

Ghost chef?

Lu Yue suddenly remembered the ghost chef he killed in the ruins.

"The ghost chef lineage is divided into five flavors: sour, sweet, bitter, spicy and salty. All the various aspects of life are contained in it. The Mengpo soup in mythology is also called the five-flavor soup, which combines the five flavors of sweet, bitter, sour, and salty. After drinking it, all the past events become nothing."

"Meng Po is the ancestor of the ghost chef lineage?" Lu Yue blurted out.

"Maybe you can think about it from another angle."

"The ancestor of the ghost chef lineage later became Meng Po."

Lu Yue carefully savored the meaning of what Bai Shuai said.

The former reveals the origin of the ghost chef lineage, while the latter shows that Mengpo is actually just a position, and people from the ghost chef lineage are qualified to hold this position.

Meng Po does not refer to a specific person.

If you don't understand, just ask. Lu Yue consulted the two handsome men, Black and White, about the two meanings.

Bai Shuai looked at Lu Yue and did not answer directly. Instead, he said calmly: "It's not just Meng Po who is special. In myths and legends, extraordinary people such as the ghost walkers and village guards also have a close connection with the underworld."

"According to our investigation of the Demon Suppression Department, the ancestors of those extraordinary people in the underworld industry are actually related to the underworld. Because of this, the underworld has many secrets, which is also one of the reasons why we are exploring it."

Deep down, Lu Yue's interest in the underworld grew stronger and stronger.

Then he looked around and glanced back inadvertently.

I saw that the stone bridge behind me had disappeared without a trace.

"The bridge is gone!"
