Villager of Destiny

Chapter 508 The Six Paths
After Li Taishan left, I also left Niang'er Village.

But unlike him, I don’t know where I came from or where I’m going.

Those are the only questions in my mind.

Simply, I stopped thinking about it.

I started walking aimlessly.

What surprised me was that I walked for a long time without seeing anyone. It seemed that Niang'er Village was in a very remote place, so remote that there were no other villages around where people lived the same life.

I began to give up trying to find someone to ask the questions in my mind, and instead walked around casually like a traveler.

Until I met a dog.

It seemed to be alone, just like me.

When I saw it, it was rummaging for food on the side of the road, but it was obvious that it found nothing.

And it was not afraid of me. When I got close to it, it just glanced at me and walked forward on its own, continuing to look for its food.

I was bored, so I kept following it.

Finally, it found a bone.

What I just don't understand is that it doesn't seem to be excited, and it doesn't have the joy that it should have because it found food. Its eyes are always calm, like a pool of stagnant water, and no one is very unstable.

What surprised me even more was that it held the bone in front of me.

"For me?" I asked.

It glanced at me and continued walking forward.

I picked up the bones and was a little confused for a moment.

It took me a while to follow, but at this moment, I suddenly had an urge to ask it and ask it those questions.

I caught up with it.

It still ignored my presence and walked forward while rummaging through the weeds on the roadside.

I followed closely.

I asked: "Why are you alive?"

"Are you happy with your life?"

I feel like an idiot.

Because it is obviously a dog, how could a dog understand me?

But I asked anyway.

However, what surprised me was that it stopped, tilted its head and glanced at me, then suddenly rushed towards me, directly grabbed the bone in my hand, and then gnawed it with big mouthfuls. got up.

I froze for a moment.

For a while, I didn't know what to do.

But after eating, it swaggered away again and disappeared from my sight. I originally wanted to chase it, but finally gave up.

I feel like I've got the answer to it.

Does it live happily?

Its gaze is like stagnant water.

Why is it alive?
Maybe even it doesn't know it.

I think if you give it a chance, maybe it doesn't want to be a dog anymore, a lonely wild dog.

Sighing, I continued walking forward aimlessly.

Its appearance did not change anything for me.

Before I knew it, I came to a village.

The village is quiet.

It seems to be a dry village.

It started to rain, so I found a nearby house to take shelter from the rain. To my surprise, there were two little beggars in the house, both in their teens, one boy and one girl.

They huddled together and looked very scared when they saw me.

I looked at them and smiled politely, then sat on the other side.

I originally wanted to stay until the rain stopped and then leave, but the rain became heavier and heavier, and before I knew it, it was already dark.

I heard two coughs.

It came from one of the girls.

I looked over and her face looked strangely red.

I walked over.

The boy looked at me warily. I smiled at him and then reached out and touched the girl's forehead.

"She has a fever."

"Then... what should we do?" The boy was a little anxious, and tears suddenly fell down.

"Brother, can you save my sister?"

"If she dies, I...I won't have a family."

"How can one die from a fever?" I said with a smile, and at the same time, I subconsciously reached out and tapped the girl's forehead.

I don't know why I do what I do.

And after I did this, the girl's face suddenly improved.

"Let your sister have a good rest. It'll be fine." After I said that, I returned to my original position and sat down. I looked at the rain falling outside and slowly closed my eyes.

I wasn't sleeping, so I could feel the movement around me.

I felt someone move closer to me.

I opened my eyes.

The boy was startled and sat down on the ground.

But soon he reacted and knelt directly in front of me.

"Brother, are you an immortal?"

"I……"

"I also want to become a fairy."

I was stunned for a moment and couldn't help laughing.

"What kind of immortal am I?"

"Just touch my sister's forehead. My sister's fever will be cured. You must be an immortal!" the boy said with certainty.

I was silent for a while.

In fact, I don't know how I did it.

It just came naturally.

"Then why do you want to become an immortal?"

I thought about it and asked.

The boy said without hesitation: "That way I can protect my sister, I can give her a lot of food, and give her a home."

"It's okay not to become an immortal." I said.

But the boy shook his head and said, "No."

"We are just beggars, helpless. We usually rely on eating wild vegetables. Occasionally we can catch some small animals, or some kind people give us some food."

"I almost starved to death several times."

I looked at him, thought for a moment and asked, "Are you happy in your life?"

The boy shook his head and said, "Not happy."

"Then why are you still alive?" I asked again.

The boy froze for a moment.

"Because I want my sister to live well."

I thought for a moment and then asked: "Have you ever thought that if you die one day and you can be reincarnated, do you still want to be a human being?"

"I don't want to!" The boy didn't hesitate.

"If I could, I wouldn't be a human being."

"Being a human is so tiring."

"I want to be a bird, or a grass."

"If it doesn't work, just die. There's no need to reincarnate."

I fell silent.

I took his words to heart and looked at his sister.

"What about your sister?"

The boy still didn't think much about it.

"She must live a good life. If there is another life, then I also hope that she will be a child of a rich family."

"Anything you want."

“You can eat whatever you want.”

"Then have you asked her?" I asked.

The boy shook his head.

At this time, the girl seemed to have heard what we said. She sat up and said angrily: "I don't want to have another life."

"If there really is a next life, then I will still be with my brother!"

I looked at the girl and then at the boy.

After a while, I felt like I had figured something out in my mind. I stood up, touched the boy's head, and then walked out directly.

The boy chased him out without giving up.

He seemed to think I was a fairy.

I didn't stop, I just walked forward on my own. It wasn't until I couldn't hear his voice anymore that I slowed down.

I don't know why I don't want to stay.

It was like, I touched something.

Just a little.

I was able to figure out the questions I wanted to ask.

So I left without thinking.

However, at this time, I felt a little more confused.

Where should I go?

The rain kept falling on me, and it was very cold. I looked up subconsciously, and I could see the drops of water falling from the sky at an extremely fast speed. I caught one of them, and then followed its trajectory and looked down. The moment it hits the ground it disappears in an instant.

"Is this Yu Yu's life?"

At this moment I feel like a madman.

I squatted on the ground.

Looking at the place where the drop of rain disappeared, I finally made up my mind.

This is its life.

I asked: "In the next life, do you still want to be rainwater?"

No one can answer me.

Naturally, that drop of rainwater couldn't answer me.

What I responded to was another drop of rain falling to the same location with a similar trajectory.

I suddenly understood.

This is actually.

It is reincarnation.

My three questions.It's actually just a question.

I want to ask them why they are alive and whether they are happy or not. I just want to ask them how they feel about being human, just like I am asking about the rain now.

In itself, there is actually no answer.

Because it doesn’t matter if it’s a human being.

Rain is also good.

The answers are all different.

Ask different people and the answer will be different.

Just like the brother and sister.

Just like the rain that is still falling now.

Just like that wild dog.

The real answer lies in reincarnation. Only when you truly stand in front of reincarnation can you know what the final answer is.

only……

As if that wasn't enough.

I keep going.

Soon I walked to a city.

Compared to the village where I met the brother and sister before, this city is obviously a different world. At a glance, people are coming and going, but each person gives me a different feeling.

Amidst the commotion, I heard the sound of laughter.

Angry voices were heard.

Sad sounds were heard.

It seems that different people have different emotions.

I also heard some people shouting about the injustice of God.

I also heard someone whispering, if I can live a few more years, I can think about a few more years of happiness.

I also heard that some people were praying for an early death.

heard it……

Someone seemed to be asking the same question I was asking.

I also heard someone say it again.

It would be better if you don't behave like a human being.

This seems to be the true state of all sentient beings.

it seems...

That's the answer I want.

With this answer, I left the city.

After walking for an unknown amount of time, I saw a towering mountain.

I feel like this is where I want to be.

Just as I was about to walk up the mountain, I heard a voice.

I turned and looked.

It was Li Taishan.

He walked towards me quickly.

He seems to be in a good mood.

"I just said, we will meet again, right?"

Li Taishan said with a smile.

"Did you find the answer?" I asked.

Li Taishan shook his head.

Then nodded again.

I was a little confused, but he had no intention of continuing and walked directly towards the mountain.

"This mountain is called Mount Tai."

"Same name as mine."

"My answer is on the mountain."

"Do you want to go up and have a look?"

Li Taishan glanced at me.

I followed.

"My answer is also in the mountains."

Soon, we came to the top of Mount Tai. We saw a temple. There was no one in the temple, but there was a chessboard.

The board is halfway down.

Li Taishan sat on Heizi's side.

I followed over and sat on Bai Zi's side.

"Bai Zi goes first."

Li Taishan said with a smile.

"I can't play chess." I thought for a moment and said.

Li Taishan scratched his head.

"I do not know either."

"Anyway, wherever you want to play, you can play wherever you want."

I didn't know whether to laugh or cry, but I still followed Li Taishan's words and placed a white stone on the chessboard based on my feeling.

When Li Taishan saw this, he also followed up with a sunspot.

suddenly.

I feel like everything around me has changed.

I seem to have remembered something again.

I remembered my name.

I remembered everything.

I looked at Li Taishan in front of me, and then looked to both sides.

There are three more chairs on either side.

Jiutian Xuannu, dressed in red, smiled slightly at me and said, "You two, how do you feel about this journey of all sentient beings?"

I didn't answer.

Still looking at Li Taishan in front of him.

to be exact……

It is the Lord of Mount Tai.

Lord Taishan looked at the chess pieces on the chessboard in silence.

"The path of all living beings..."

"All beings are in various states."

"Xuantian."

"You are right."

"Just, I have one more question."

"In this situation of right and wrong, what do you want to do?"

I thought for a while and said: "The reincarnation of heaven, the cycle of cause and effect."

"There are only two words for what all sentient beings want."

"It's a choice."

"And what we have to do is give them choices."

As I said that, I waved my hand and took out five things from the underworld.

These five things are used to repair the roulette wheel.

Roulette spinning is the foundation of reincarnation, but if reincarnation is limited to people, it itself will be incomplete.

"Now that reincarnation can be re-established, the roulette wheel should also be changed."

"Immortals, humans, and the underworld should all be in this reincarnation."

"All living beings should also be in this reincarnation."

"What do you mean?" Mr. Taishan frowned and looked at me.

"The way of heaven, the way of underworld, the way of man, and the way of all living beings can all be classified into the six paths."

"Still based on good and evil."

“Distinguish among reincarnations.”

"The six paths are three good and three evil."

"The great virtuous person will enter heaven!"

"The great evil is like the way to hell!"

"The rest are the human realm, the asura realm, the animal realm, and the evil ghost realm!"

"Reincarnation."

"Only in this way can all living beings be included."

"The ultimate foundation for all living beings!"

"Do you know... the price you have to pay for doing this?" Lord Taishan frowned and looked at me, "I have walked the path of all sentient beings, and I know what all sentient beings want and want."

“There is nothing wrong with giving sentient beings a choice.”

"But all living beings..."

"Do we really need to choose again?"

"What I want is equality for all living beings."

"All living beings can live forever."

"All living beings can become immortals."

"There is no longer any talk of reincarnation in this world."

"Without reincarnation, there is no need to choose, so why not?"

I sighed slightly.

"Your Majesty."

"You still can't let go."

"But you have already lost this round."

"Since you have lost, why do you insist on this time?"

"The six paths of reincarnation are the general trend."

"From now on, you can guard the highway of good and evil on Mount Tai."

"If you still can't let go."

"Then let these years decide what's right and what's wrong, how about that?"

"The third game?" Lord Taishan sighed slightly.

(It’s still two chapters combined into one~)
