Who can tell the story of Meng Po?

Meng Po was born in the Western Han Dynasty. He studied Confucian books since childhood and began to recite Buddhist scriptures when he grew up. When she was alive, she never looked back and never thought about the future. She just wholeheartedly advised people not to kill, but to be vegetarian. She was a virgin until she was eighty-one. She only knows her family name is Meng, so she is called "Granny Meng Po". Later, Meng Po went to practice in the mountains until the later Han Dynasty. Because at that time, people who knew the karma of past lives often revealed secrets, therefore, God appointed Meng Po Lao Nai as the god of the underworld and built a platform for her to forget. According to the Book of the Prince of Yan, after each temple was punished, the ghost was sent to the next temple in turn, and finally transferred to the tenth temple and delivered to the king of the wheel. The tenth hall is responsible for the incarnation of ghosts. All ghosts sent here to be reborn will be taken to the forgetting stage under the control of Meng Po, so that ghosts can forget their past lives. According to legend, the practice of Meng Po Tang is to send ghosts to all parts of the Ten Halls, and then add herbs collected from the secular to make a soup similar to wine, which is divided into five flavors: sweet, bitter, pungent, sour and salty. All ghosts who are going to be reborn have to drink Meng Po's ecstasy soup. If a clever and cunning ghost refuses to drink, a hook knife will immediately trip his foot, and a sharp copper pipe will pierce his throat and force him to swallow. No ghost can be spared. Meng Po has a Meng Po shop in the underworld, and his place of residence is Meng Po Zhuang. There is a story about Meng Po Village in Volume 8 of Shen Qifeng's "Harmonious Front" in Qing Dynasty: Ge Sheng was reborn without drinking ecstasy soup. Once upon a time, there was a geisha named Lanrui. She had a sister as beautiful as flowers and pure as jade. Yu Rui and Ge Sheng fell in love, but because Ge Sheng was poor, she had no money to marry Yu Rui. Later, LanRui died of illness, and Ge Sheng was double suicide because he could not spend his life with Yu Rui. Ge died and went to the underworld. Seeing his innocent death, Yan Luowang sentenced him to reincarnation. When Ge Sheng heard the order, he was going to be reincarnated. Ge Sheng walked alone and came to a hut full of vines. I saw hundreds of men and women scrambling to grab the ladle and hurriedly scoop water from the stove. Ge Sheng felt thirsty, because he was tired from walking, so he also wanted to drink water from the spoon. At this moment, a woman came out from behind the shed. Ge Sheng looked carefully, and it turned out to be Lanrui. LanRui asked him why he came here, and Ge Sheng told her in detail. After knowing this, Lanrui leaned into Ge Sheng's ear and said, "Don't you know that this is Meng Po Village? Fortunately, Meng Po went to celebrate Mrs Kou's birthday today, and let me take charge of the ladle for the time being. If you drink the ecstasy soup in this ladle like those people, you can't come back to life. " Hearing this, Ge Sheng couldn't help feeling happy. Later, under the guidance of Lanrui, Ge Sheng found his old way and returned to the world. In addition, in the "Meng Po Tang" in Wang Youguang's Interpretation of Wuxia Proverbs in the Qing Dynasty, there is also a description about ghosts drinking ecstasy soup: after death, people go to Meng Po Village first. The soldiers escorted the ghost through the walls of Meng Po village and went to hades for interrogation. After the verdict, record the merits and demerits of a lifetime in the handover book. Every ghost sentenced to reincarnation will come back from Meng Po Zhuang. At the entrance of Meng Po Zhuang, an old woman stood there to greet the newcomers, walked up the stairs and entered. The village is full of carved beams and painted buildings, and the pillars are made of stone; In the room, all the scenic spots are exquisite and gorgeous, with curtains made of pearls and jade, and a big table carved with jade in the hall. After the couple entered the room, the old woman called out three girls, namely Jiang Meng, Meng Yong and Meng Ge. All three were dressed in red skirts and jackets hung down by greensleeves, all as beautiful as flowers and pure as jade, calling Lang Jun softly, brushing mats with their hands and inviting people to sit down. After the couple sat down, the servant girl brought tea. Three beautiful women were around, all offering tea with delicate fingers, and the jade ring was crisp and fragrant. Under such circumstances, it is really hard to refuse not to drink. I get dizzy as soon as I hold a teacup. I took a sip lightly, but I felt very cool. It can quench my thirst and I can't help swallowing it. After drinking, I suddenly saw a spoonful of muddy mud sinking at the bottom of the cup. I looked up and found that the original beautiful and charming beauty and old woman had become a frozen skeleton. Walking out of the gate, I saw the original carved beams and painted buildings, all of which were dead wood, as if I were in the middle of nowhere and forgot everything before my death. In panic and pain, he suddenly fell to the ground crying and became a little baby who knew nothing.
