Chapter 1 I am a human being

A thin body leaned against a park bench, its head slightly lowered and its eyes glazed. If you look closely, you can see that there are still undried tears in the corners of his eyes. The man is about 30 years old, about 1.8 meters tall, with a melon seed face, big eyes and fairly fair skin, and he looks very delicate.

"Why? Why is that?" the man muttered to himself, raising his slender right hand and patting his forehead continuously, and an indescribable sadness slowly emanated from his body.

Suddenly, the man raised his head, looked at the sky, and shouted heartbreakingly: "What did I Chenxiao do to hurt the heavens and reason, you actually treated me like this!"

After a while, Chen Xiao smiled and said, "Hehe, forget it! This is fate!" shook his head helplessly, and the tears in his eyes splashed out of his eyes because of the excessive force. He then struggled to get up from the bench and walked slowly out of the park.

A young couple sitting not far away was frightened by the man's crazy words, but they didn't say anything, but continued to make love after taking a look. They have seen a lot of things like this, and they come to the park in the middle of the night to vent their anger, either because of emotional problems or something happened at home, or because business is not going well, and they lose money. No matter what it is, it's a hard-working person, but it has nothing to do with them, and it's the right thing to do with it.

After leaving the park, Chenxiao walked towards an ancient bridge in the south of the city, and he knew that if he wanted to die, this was a good place. The water is deep, there are few people, and at the same time, there are more people fishing during the day, so that you can also find your body as soon as possible, so as not to end up with no one to collect the body.

And Chen Xiao, who was in the first year, didn't want to live happily, but unfortunately, what had happened in the past month really made him unable to give birth to a trace of the will to live. First, his parents were poisoned by gas, both left, then the company went bankrupt, he continued to collect debts, and finally even the person he loved the most abandoned him and ran away with a wealthy businessman in Taiwan.

The ups and downs of life are coming too fast, one second is still family harmony and life is worry-free, and the next second is the death of parents and falling apart. Chen Xiao felt that her life was like a bad tragic novel, and she was the poor worm under the writer, who couldn't be pitied, as if any kind of tragedy would happen to her. However, it is almost over...... All of this was about to be swallowed up, ending with the end of his life.

Chenxiao dragged his tired body through the downtown and through the streets, but the lights and noise around him were incompatible with him.

After a long time, Chen Xiao raised his head slightly, and a weathered stone bridge appeared in front of him. The stone bridge is about thirty or forty meters long, with a mottled appearance, and the sides are covered with moss and vines, but the bridge deck is unusually smooth, and it looks like it is some years old.

Chenxiao walked closer to see a stone monument standing in front of the bridge, and the stone tablet was vaguely engraved with three big characters "Changsheng Bridge". Changsheng?Chen Xiao smiled bitterly and shook his head, raised his leg and walked up.

The sky in November was already a little cool, and Chenxiao, who was walking on the bridge, felt a gust of cool breeze pouring straight to the back of his neck, and subconsciously shrunk his neck, and then looked at the single clothes on his body, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart: "This ghost weather, death is not comfortable." Thinking about it, the steps under my feet were not slow, and I reached the middle of the bridge in a few steps.

Feeling the oncoming cool breeze, Chenxiao did not hesitate, but walked straight to the fence, raised his hand and grabbed the handrail made of bluestone, at the same time, a chill passed along the handrail, Chenxiao groped left and right, rough and cold. Then, Chenxiao got up and looked at the dark lake again, but a sense of relief suddenly rose in her heart, or rather a relief.

"Jump! Jump down, and everything will be over!" Chen Xiao comforted herself. With that, he raised his right foot and prepared to cross the fence, and with the water of the lake everything dispersed.

But the moment Chenxiao raised his right foot, an old and hoarse voice also sounded, "Young man, let's have a bowl of soup!"

Tang Chenxiao couldn't help but be stunned, then withdrew his right foot and looked in the direction of the sound. I saw a stall more than ten meters away from him. The stall is not big, a bit like a stall selling wontons in a costume drama, with a bamboo pole erected on the left, a square cloth tied to the bamboo pole, and a big "soup" character written on it, and a papier-mΓ’chΓ© worn lantern hanging on the right side of the stall.

"There's no one on this big night, young man, give me a cheer for my old woman!" the hoarse voice sounded again.

Chen Xiao looked through the stall and finally saw the main owner clearly. It was an old man in his old age, with a slightly bloated figure, and the folds on his round face were piled together, looking very kind.

Chen Xiao subconsciously touched the only ten yuan left in his trouser pocket, and then walked over. I thought to myself, "Even if you die, you won't be a starving ghost." But he said, "Old woman, why didn't you confiscate the stall on this big night?" ”

"I didn't have anything to do when I went back, so I stayed a little longer. As he spoke, the old man took out a porcelain bowl from under the stall, opened the pot, and handed a bowl of hot soup to Chenxiao with a big iron spoon.

The moment the old man opened the soup pot, the steam rushed out, and then Chenxiao smelled a rich aroma and couldn't help swallowing his saliva. Seeing that the old man handed the soup to him, he was not polite, but took a big sip.

Chenxiao only felt that this was the best soup he had ever drunk in his life, because as soon as the soup entered his mouth, a rich smell of meat filled his mouth, and after the stomach, there was a warmth flowing all over the body, and after tasting it, the aroma of meat still remained in his mouth.

"Mother-in-law, it's so delicious for you to make this soup!" Chen Xiao raised his head and looked at the old man standing behind the stall, and said sincerely. However, the old man just nodded and smiled, and ignored Chen Xiao.

Seeing this, Chen Xiao didn't say anything more, but raised the soup bowl again and drank it in a big gulp. Within a few seconds, the bowl of hot fragrant soup was all drunk into Chenxiao's stomach.

"Let's go after drinking, get off the bridge and go straight, remember, don't look back. When the old man saw Chenxiao finish the soup, he spoke. At the same time, he raised his folded right hand and pointed in the direction under the bridge.

Hearing the former's words, Chen Xiao scratched his head, a little surprised. But just as he was thinking, he felt that his mind sank, and his thinking became sluggish, and he walked in the direction pointed by the old man.

I saw Chenxiao like a puppet at the mercy of others, walking under the bridge step by step, no emotion, no slowness, no superfluous movements, every time he raised his feet was very resolute, it seemed that the front was where he wanted to go, no matter what obstacles, he would cross, and finally reach the so-called end.

One step, two steps, ten steps, a hundred steps, as Chenxiao walked farther and farther, the scene around him also changed, the green pine and green grass on both sides of the road gradually disappeared, replaced by strange stones, and the stone road on the ground slowly turned into a muddy dirt road, the most terrifying thing is that the color of the moon in the sky also changed, and a blood moon appeared in the sky not far away.

A wail woke Chen Xiao from the chaos, Chen Xiao shivered, and then looked around, the chill suddenly hit the bone, coupled with the surrounding scene, Chen Xiao couldn't help but shrink his neck, and then goosebumps all over his body.

Damn, I'm dead? That was Chenxiao's first thought, but then he immediately shook his head. He clearly remembered what had just happened, he had just drunk a bowl of soup, and it was impossible for him to die! He didn't jump off the bridge? Could it be a hallucination caused by his extreme emotion?

Thinking about things in his heart, his feet didn't stop, and Chenxiao still walked forward step by step. After a while, Chenxiao suddenly stopped. "Bridge, soup, old man." I saw Chenxiao's pupils dilated sharply, his face was full of consternation, and his heart couldn't help sinking. Meng Po Tang! Nai He Qiao! I'm really dead!

When he learned the truth, he couldn't help but sigh for a while, he was obviously going to jump into the river, who would have thought that the river didn't jump but he drank Meng Po soup first, this thief is really good at playing people.

After thinking about the cause and effect, Chen Xiao also let go of the burden in his heart, anyway, he was going to die, since he had achieved his wish, and there was no trace of pain during the period, there was no need to worry about the process. At present, he should be thinking about how to have a good birth in the next life, instead of indulging in the pain of his previous life.

Thinking of this, Chen Xiao straightened his chest, strengthened his courage, and strode towards the front, while comforting himself, "Anyway, Lao Tzu is also a ghost now, I'm afraid of a hair, everyone is half a catty." But Chenxiao is still a little weak-hearted, he hasn't seen a ghost, in case he has a green face with fangs and a face of pus, I'm afraid that he will be scared half to death at that time.

But after walking for about an hour, the imaginary thing did not happen, and there was not even a figure around, let alone a ghost. At this time, Chenxiao was really relaxed, and at the same time accelerated his pace. Who knows how far away the place of reincarnation is from him, or it is the right thing to hurry up, so as not to cause complications.

After walking for about three hours, Chenxiao stopped, and it was strange that he didn't feel a little tired after walking for so long, and he was not allowed to think much at this time, because a large hall appeared in front of him.

The hall is about ten meters high, it looks very dilapidated, the red paint on the surface has cracked, and the pillars on the left and right sides are also crumbling. Looking at the entire hall, it seemed that there was a possibility of collapse at any time, which really didn't interest him. However, the main hall had six doors, and each door had a plaque on it, but he did not recognize the words on it.

Could it be that this is the so-called six paths? Chen Xiao stepped forward and carefully looked at these six gates, and the more he looked at them, the more he agreed with his own point of view.

Generally speaking, there are six realms of reincarnation: the path of asura, the path of humanity, the path of heaven, the path of hell, the path of hungry ghosts, and the path of animals. The six paths are divided into the "Three Evil Paths" and the "Three Good Paths". The Three Evil Paths are the Hell, the Hungry Ghosts, and the Beasts, and the Three Virtues are the Humane, Asura Path, and Heavenly Path. This morning dawn is known, but the words on it ...... Indeed, he did not know.

This can make Chen Xiao embarrassed, if he opens the wrong door and strays into the beast road, then it will be too late to regret it. Although the buddy doesn't look like Pan An, he can be regarded as dignified! In case he becomes a poultry or livestock in his life, it will make people feel a chill when he thinks about it.

Six gates, six plaques, Chen Xiao looked back and forth no less than ten times, tangled for an hour, and still couldn't decide which one to enter. However, after such a long thought, he roughly knew what to choose.

There are a total of six gates in front of Chenxiao, in fact, all you need to do is enter the Asura Dao, the Humane Dao, or the Heavenly Dao. Because the above three belong to the "Three Good Paths", the other two in addition to humanity, although Chen Xiao does not know what the role is, he understands in his heart that there is no harm in entering the Asura Path or the Heavenly Path. This also shows that he has a 50% chance of success if he chooses three out of six.

And he won't choose the details of the two doors on the left and right, because that would be either a great good or a great evil. The best way to do this is to choose the middle two doors, and although the chance of choosing is still 50%, even if you choose the wrong one, it will not be too extreme.

After thinking clearly, Chenxiao didn't hesitate, walked straight to the two gates in the middle, chose one at random, pushed it open, and stepped in one step forward.

Chenxiao, who stepped into the door, only felt that his body suddenly sank, as if he had stepped into the air, and his whole body fell down. At the same time, his consciousness gradually became blurred, and a noisy sound sounded in his ears.

Chen Xiao shook his head vigorously to stay awake, but his sleepiness became stronger and stronger. It didn't take long for his body to slowly go limp. When his consciousness was dying, the cries of a herd of cows, horses, and pigs mixed with chickens, ducks, and geese at the same time came into Chenxiao's ears, and he couldn't help but tremble in his heart! Γ—! Sure enough, it's a brute! Thinking that he would be a brute in the next life, Chenxiao completely fainted as soon as his legs landed.

......

On the other side, a strange species about two meters tall, dressed in a black robe, with a human body and a horse face, hurriedly ran up the Nai He Bridge.

Hearing the sound of hurried footsteps, Meng Po turned her head, and when she saw someone coming, she piled up the wrinkles on her face again, and said with a smile, "Isn't this Lord Ma! Why do you have time to hang out with the old woman today?"

Seeing Meng Po greeting herself, the anxious horse face was not polite, and when she came up, she asked directly, "Meng Po, did you see a young man passing by here just now?"

"People, who are there any people who have beaten me like this! Aren't they all lonely ghosts!" Meng Po said slowly, then opened the soup pot, filled another bowl of soup, and continued without looking at the horse noodles that were already full of iron and blue at this time, "Do you want to have a bowl too?"

"I'm going to have a fart!" said Ma Mian is wave of his hand and fly the soup bowl that Meng Po handed to him.

"What is it that can make you angry, Lord Ma, and let me, the old woman, hear it too. Seeing that her soup bowl was lifted away, Meng Po was not angry, but bent down and picked up another bowl, hit a bowl of soup and handed it over.

Ma Mian lost his anger this time, took the soup handed by Meng Po, and drank the soup in his hand in one bite.

"Alas, something really happened this time!" Ma Mian pulled an old face, shook his head with a sigh and said, "The ghost door was opened just now, and a person who was not dead accidentally broke into the underworld, and the direction of the person who came should be coming to you." ”

"What should I do, isn't it just a living person!" Meng Po interrupted Ma Mian's words, took the empty bowl in Ma Mian's hand and put it under the stall, and said disapprovingly.

"Isn't it just a living person, if I let the adults know about this, then I'll be finished!" Ma Mian patted his forehead worriedly, and even the hair on his head shook violently from side to side, which showed how hard he was exerting himself. Then he continued, "It's okay to come in, if you really pass through and then vote for humanity, then the consequences of the matter will be ......" At this point, Ma Mian's voice stopped abruptly.

Seeing this, Meng Po walked out of the back of the stall, came to Ma Mian's side, and said, "I don't think things have changed. As she spoke, Meng Po's eyes showed a hint of cunning.

Hearing this, Ma Mian's face changed, he raised his eyebrows lightly, looked down at Meng Po who was standing beside him and bent over his waist, and said, "How do you say this?"

"Recently, there have been so many people who have been reincarnated! I have nothing to do, so I have hidden five of the six realms of reincarnation, leaving only the animal path. Meng Po's face showed a playful look, and she continued, "No matter which door he chooses, he will devote himself to the beast path." ”

After hearing Meng Po's words, the horse's face and body were shocked, and the haze just now was swept away, and he couldn't help laughing, "Haha! You are a good Meng Po! You really have you! You dare to play like this, my old horse can be regarded as convincing you!"

"Then the old woman, am I also doing the adults a favor in disguise?" Seeing that Ma Mian had returned to his former boldness, Meng Po felt proud for a while, and then stretched out her right hand and slapped Ma Mian's buttocks, and then pinched it vigorously.

Feeling the sharp pain in his hips, Ma Mian stopped laughing and looked in the direction of the pain. It didn't matter what I saw, I saw a thin old hand pressing on his ass and kneading it vigorously.

Seeing this, Ma Mian only felt that the excitement just now was instantly extinguished, and the long face that was red because of excitement also turned from red to white at this time, and then he was sick to his stomach, and a mouthful of old soup squirted out.

......

Chen Xiao, who was reincarnated, didn't know that he mistakenly threw himself into the animal path, which turned out to be a game of Meng Po's idleness. If one day he knows the truth of the matter, he is afraid that he will have the heart to die again. At the same time, Chen Xiao didn't know that he would be greeted by another world, a new future, and a legendary story of blood and tears.
