Chapter 1204: Pick a path

"Well, please come with me. The old eunuch bowed slightly, then crossed his hands in front of his lower abdomen, bowed his head and bent down to lead the way.

It's just that he didn't take Meng Chuan to the Han Emperor's bedroom, but continued along the road at the entrance of the Han Emperor's bedroom, not knowing where to go.

Meng Chuan followed behind him and asked with some confusion: "Didn't the old gentleman take me to see the Han Emperor? Why don't you go to the Han Emperor's bedroom?"

The old eunuch turned around and whispered as he walked, "Mr. Meng doesn't know, Your Majesty is hunting in the back mountains, and he is not in the palace. ”

"Just now, the eighth princess has gone to the back mountain from the back door of the palace, and the six princes are also waiting in the back mountain, I am taking you to the back mountain. ”

"It's just that you're not from the royal family, so you can't be allowed to go to the back mountain from inside the palace, so you can only bother you with the old slave for a long detour. ”

"Oh, I see. Meng Chuan nodded well and did not have any objections.

Emperor Han's bedroom was originally at the back of the palace, and the old eunuch didn't walk long with Meng Chuan, and the two of them had already come to the back gate of the palace.

This place is close to the back mountain of the imperial city, and there is a dense forest in front of the eye, and a stone staircase leads to the depths of the mountain, which looks quiet and deep, but also has a unique taste.

It's just that it's not as heavily guarded as the other gates of the palace, but it's deserted and a bit desolate.

Probably seeing Meng Chuan's doubts, when the old eunuch took Meng Chuan to pass here, he pointed to both sides and said, "Mr. Meng, don't look at the fact that there is no one to guard here, in fact, there is no need for manpower here." ”

"This is already the depths of the Imperial Palace, and beyond it is the endless mountains and mountains, leading to the end of this small world, and no one can attack the Imperial City from here. ”

"And this mountain range is a hunting ground set up by His Majesty himself, in which fierce beasts are rampant, and ordinary people have no ability, it is difficult to pass through it safely. ”

"Except for the designated safe zone, even the prince has to be grounded in this mountain range, because it is too dangerous. Only when His Majesty comes here every year to hunt, will he take a few princes around the mountains together. ”

Meng Chuan could feel when he looked up that the Dao Dao prohibitions were set up in this mountain range, all of which were left by the top masters, and his strength was probably no less than Jiang Lude.

It is also this prohibition that protects the palace from the invasion of the demon beasts in the mountains.

It seems that the Han royal family

There are also many great masters, although Huo Yang is known as the first dragon and tiger general, but in terms of strength, he is far from the strongest in the Han Dynasty.

After walking up the stone stairs into the mountains, it is a rugged mountain road, and it is hard to imagine that there is such a difficult road in the mountains behind the palace.

The old eunuch kept telling Meng Chuan to follow him closely, otherwise he was very likely to be in danger.

The two of them walked through the mountains for half an hour, and finally turned over the first hill.

It's just that what appeared in front of the two of them was an even bigger mountain, blocking the way of the two of them.

There was also a fork in the road in front of the two of them, which led in different directions, winding deep into the mountains, not knowing what lay ahead.

There are six forks in the road, and Meng Chuan doesn't know which one is the right one, and the old eunuch also stopped here, as if he had something to say.

"Mr. Meng, I can't take you on the next road, you need to pick one yourself. The old eunuch stretched out his hand and pointed to the six roads.

"The direction of these six roads is the hunting platform used by His Majesty for hunting, and you can see His Majesty as long as you walk there. ”

"The six roads are of different lengths and pass through different locations. I can give you a brief introduction, but it's up to you to decide which way to go. ”

Meng Chuan heard it in a fog, and couldn't help muttering in his heart that there was really a lot of red tape in the Han Dynasty, and he had to choose a way to meet the Han Emperor.

After the introduction of the old eunuch, Meng Chuan understood the general situation.

The six paths are the Heavenly Path, the Human Path, the Asura Path, the Animal Path, the Demon Path, and the Hell Path, and they are arranged in order of ease of passage.

These six paths are originally the six paths of Buddhism that record the return of people after death, and were used by the Han Emperor to name them.

Among them, the Hell Dao is the most difficult to pass, while the Heavenly Dao is the opposite. According to the old eunuch, the path of heaven is smooth, and there are no obstacles and dangers, and the prince and princess or other people summoned by the Han Emperor will go to the hunting platform from this road.

The other five roads are dangerous, and those who don't know the rules are likely to die if they step on them indiscriminately.

Moreover, there are prohibitions on every road, and once you set foot on it, you can't turn back.

The eunuch made a gesture of invitation: "The old slave will go first."

Tiandao went to the hunting platform to wait for Mr. Meng, which way Mr. Meng wants to go, please feel free. ”

Meng Chuan waved his hand without thinking about it and said, "This still needs to be picked, since the Heavenly Dao is the best to go, then I will also take the Heavenly Dao, and I can save some trouble." ”

The old eunuch smiled bitterly and shook his head: "Mr. Meng, Your Majesty instructed before, he said that among the six paths, only the Heavenly Dao cannot be taken." ”

"Don't let me go to the Heavenly Dao? Why is that?" Meng Chuan was a little depressed.

The old eunuch lowered his head and said, "This is what Your Majesty meant, the old slave is not good at talking, and please Mr. Meng, don't embarrass the old slave." ”

"If you're afraid of something unexpected, you can take the humanitarian route, which is a bit rougher, but it shouldn't be difficult for a feathered power to get through. ”

"Okay then, let's go humane. Meng Chuan sighed helplessly, expecting in his heart that this was likely to be a test for Emperor Han.

It's just a pity that Meng Chuan didn't want to be the Liu family's concubine sincerely, this kind of test is just to add to the trouble.

Since he could be lazy, Meng Chuan would not let go of this opportunity, so he stepped on humanity without the slightest concern.

After entering the humanitarian world, Meng Chuan's figure gradually disappeared on the mountain road. The old eunuch took out a jade note from his sleeve with confidence, tapped it lightly twice, and said in a low voice: "Meng Chuan has chosen humanity, and it has already begun. ”

At the end of the six roads there is a cliff that is the size of four football fields.

This is the famous hunting platform of the Han Dynasty.

On the hunting platform, there is a staircase, also made of blood and tear bamboo, that winds down to the bottom of the cliff.

Here, hundreds of Ouchi masters of the Divine Realm stand in a row, quietly guarding here like tall pine trees.

At the same time, there were forty-eight eunuchs and maidservants waiting respectfully on the side, and no one dared to raise their heads.

One of the older eunuchs put away the jade note in his arms, and let the little eunuch next to him climb the steps to spread the news about Meng Chuan to the hunting platform.

Beside the old eunuch, Liu Jingtian and Liu Yushang were also there, but the faces of the two of them were not very good.

Especially Liu Yusheng, she was almost going crazy, gritting her teeth and saying angrily: "What the hell is this Meng Chuan doing?"
