Chapter 409 Apprenticeship with Pluto (End)
The road to death is Naihe Bridge. Looking up, flowers are blooming on the other side.
Countless living souls gathered here, forming a long queue. They took a bowl of Meng Po soup from the hands of Po Meng and drank it all in one gulp.
The living souls who received Meng Po Soup would remain silent for a long time, facing the rolling river at their feet, without moving for a long time.
At this time, Po Meng would use her long spoon to gently tap the soul's back as a reminder.
"Stop looking, drink quickly and get on your way."
At this time, most living souls will look back, look at the way they came, and look at the bridge to the next life. After finally finding that there is only nothingness in front of them, they will sigh, exhale the last breath of nostalgia hidden in their hearts, and finally After drinking the Meng Po soup in one gulp, he turned around and jumped down without hesitation.
For thousands of years, this road to death has attracted countless living souls.
After drinking Meng Po soup, most people will forget their future and past events and jump off the Naihe Bridge to start the next reincarnation.
But not everyone is like that.
Year after year, year after year, there are always one or two people who linger on the bridge for a long time, unwilling to leave.
The obsessions in these people's hearts are too deep, or they are bound by flesh and blood, or they miss each other too much. Generally, these are the only two kinds of feelings in the world that cannot be let go of even after death.
Those who are bound by flesh and blood will always stay on the bridge. When they see that flesh and blood in the world finally have a good home, they will drink Meng Po soup without any worries and join the path of reincarnation.
And there are very few people who love each other too much. It takes a hundred years to meet someone like that. After all, love is not tied by blood, it all depends on the obsession and love in the heart.
This kind of living soul refuses to be reincarnated and cannot be reincarnated.
Because Meng Po Soup is of no use to them. Only those who are truly liberated can drink Meng Po Soup that is sweet. The Meng Po soup that those people drank had an unpleasant stench and was difficult to swallow.
When this happens, Po Meng will knock the spoon.
"You go to the bridge and wait, next one!"
Some people can wait until their obsession dissipates.
But some people, once they set foot on the bridge, can never get off again.
Just like now, there is a man standing at the end of the bridge, facing the blooming Bianhua flowers, standing for a long time, his thin and slender figure is almost transparent.
Po Meng finished her day's work and was ready to leave.
In the past, she would just walk past that figure, as indifferent as she was to all other living souls. But today she stopped when she was passing by the bridge.
"You don't have much time, do you still want to wait?"
"Yeah."
"She's not coming, you should know."
"Yeah, but she said she would come to pick me up."
"She has disappeared, and she cannot come back even if she wants to. With your merits, you can freely choose your next life. If you wait any longer, you will disappear forever."
"Then disappear."
"Is it worth it?"
"I don't know."
"Then why are you still waiting?"
"I'm afraid she won't be able to find me when she comes to pick me up."
Everyone has a next life, with hopes and obsessions, with promises and vows.
In this way, the man waited day after day, and the souls on the bridge changed one after another, but the man was always there.
When I came back, the figure on the bridge disappeared.
Yes, of course it will disappear.
Souls that do not want to be reincarnated will always disappear.
Just like all other living souls, some started the next cycle of reincarnation, while others voluntarily gave up their lives.
Is it worth it?
The living souls watching will ask.
The man replied with a smile.
It's worth it, who made me love her.
