Anyone who is human has imagined what the Underworld looks like: a place shrouded in an eerie gloom, bitterly cold, with ghost fires drifting about, and darkness so thick it blots out the sun....
When you were very young, you often wondered if, when you died, your soul would really float out of your body to be taken away by the impermanence of black and white, and then you would curl up in the blanket, tucking your body in, pulling the covers over your head, the whole person nestled under the blankets; whenever you thought of this, even in the scorching height of summer, you would still feel a coldness around you that made you shiver through and through.
Having grown up, through novels, books, and films, you learned about the Netherworld Road, Ghost Gate, Three Origins River, Yu Wangtai, and the Bridge of Helplessness.
Among them, Yu Wangtai is where Grandma Meng performs her duties—any soul wishing to be reborn must travel there to drink the Grandma Meng Soup.
