After Li Taishan left, I also left Niang'er Village.

It's just that unlike him, I don't know where I'm coming from or where I'm going.

The only questions in my head are those few questions.

Anyway, I don't think about it anymore.

I began to walk aimlessly.

To my surprise, I walked for a long time without seeing a person, it seems that Niang'er Village is in a very remote place, so remote that there are no other villages and people living around.

I began to give up trying to find someone to ask me the questions in my head, and instead walked around like a walker.

All the way to when I met a dog.

It seems to be on its own, just like me.

When I saw it, it was rummaging through the side of the road for food, but it was clear that it had found nothing.

And it was not afraid of me, and when I approached it, it just glanced at me, and then walked on its own, continuing to look for its food.

I'm bored, so I follow it all the time.

Finally, it found a bone.

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

To my surprise, it held the bone in front of me.

"For me?" I asked.

It looked at me and walked on.

I picked up the bones, and for a moment I was at a loss.

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

I caught up with it.

It still ignored my presence, rummaging through the weeds on the side of the road as it walked forward.

I followed closely.

I asked, "Why are you alive?" ”

"Are you happy?"

I felt like an idiot.

Because it's a dog, how can a dog understand me?

But I asked anyway.

However, to my surprise, it stopped, tilted its head to look at me, and then suddenly pounced on me, grabbed the bone in my hand, and then devoured it in a big gulp.

I was stunned for a moment.

I didn't know what to do for a while.

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

I feel like I've got its answer in it.

Is it living happily?

Its gaze is like stagnant water.

Why is it alive?

Maybe even it doesn't know it.

I thought, if I gave it a chance, maybe it wouldn't want to be a dog anymore, a lonely wild dog.

Sighing, I continued aimlessly.

It didn't change me much.

Before I knew it, I had come to a village.

The village is quiet.

It seems to be a dry village.

When it started to rain, I found a room nearby to shelter from the rain, and to my surprise, there were two little beggars in the house, both in their teens, a man and a woman.

They curled up together, and when they saw me, they looked scared.

I looked at them with a polite smile and sat down on the other side.

I wanted to stay until the rain stopped, but the rain was getting heavier and heavier, and before I knew it, it was already dark.

I heard two coughs.

It was sent by one of the girls.

I looked over and her face looked strangely red.

I walked over.

The boy looked at me warily, and I smiled at him before reaching out and touching the girl's forehead.

"She had a fever."

"That'...... So what to do? The boy was a little anxious, and the tears were all at once.

"Big brother, can you save my sister."

"If she dies, I'...... I don't have any family. ”

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

I don't know why I want to do it.

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

"Let your sister have a good rest, it's okay." I sat down in my original position, looked at the rain that was falling outside, and slowly closed my eyes.

I didn't sleep, so I could feel the movement around me.

I felt someone come up to me.

I opened my eyes.

The boy was startled and sat down on the ground.

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

"Big brother, are you an immortal?"

"I ......"

"I want to be an immortal too."

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

"What kind of immortal am I?"

"You just touched my sister's forehead, my sister has a fever, you must be an immortal!" The boy said in the affirmative.

I was silent for a moment.

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

It's as natural as it gets.

"Then why did you become an immortal?"

I thought about it for a moment and asked.

Without hesitation, the boy said, "Then I can protect my sister, and I can give her a lot to eat and a home." ”

"It's okay if you don't become an immortal." I say.

The boy shook his head and said, "No." ”

"We are beggars, helpless, usually relying on eating some wild vegetables, occasionally catching some small animals, or having kind people give us something to eat."

"I almost starved to death several times."

I looked at him, thought for a moment, and asked, "Are you happy then?" ”

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, "Then have you ever thought about it, if one day you die, and then you can still be reincarnated, then 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 man."

"It's tiring to be a man."

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

"If you really can't do it, just die, there's no need to be reincarnated."

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 of it.

"She must live well, and if there is a next life, then I also hope that she will be a child of a rich family."

"What you want, what you want."

"You can eat whatever you want."

"Did you ask her?" I asked.

The boy shook his head.

At this time, the girl seemed to have heard our words, sat up, and said angrily, "I don't want to have another life." ”

"If I really want to have a next life, then I still have to be with my brother!"

I looked at the girl, and then at the boy.

After a few moments, I felt as if I had figured something out in my head, and I stood up, touched the boy's head, and walked straight out.

The boy chased after him without giving up.

He still seems to think I'm an immortal.

I didn't stop, I just walked on my own, until I couldn't hear him anymore, and then I slowed down.

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

It's like, I touched something.

Just a little bit.

I was able to figure out what I was trying to ask.

So I left without thinking about it.

It's just that at this time, my heart is a little more dazed.

Where do I go?

The rain kept falling on me, it was very cold, I subconsciously looked up, I could see the drops falling from the sky at a very fast speed, I caught one of them, and then followed its trajectory all the way down until the moment it fell to the ground and disappeared in an instant.

"Is this the life of the rain?"

At this moment I felt like I was a madman.

I crouched on the ground.

Looking at the place where the rain disappeared, I finally settled.

That's what it's all about.

I asked, "In the next life, do you still want to be the rain?" ”

No one can answer me.

Naturally, that drop of rain can't answer me.

In response, another drop of rain fell in the same spot in an approximate trajectory.

It dawned on me.

It's actually.

It's reincarnation.

Those three questions of mine.

It's really just a question.

I want to ask them why they are alive and unhappy, just to ask how they feel about being human beings, just like I am asking about the rain now.

In itself, there is no answer.

Because both people and people.

Rain is good, too.

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.

Just like that wild dog.

The real answer, in samsara, is only when you really stand in front of reincarnation to know what the ultimate answer is.

It's just that......

As if that weren't enough.

I kept going.

Soon I came to a city.

Compared to the village where I met the brother and sister before, this city is obviously another world, at a glance, people come and go, but each one gives me a different feeling.

In the midst of the noise, I heard the sound of laughter.

Angry voices were heard.

Sad voices were heard.

It seems that different people have different emotions.

I also heard people crying out about the injustice of God.

I also heard someone whispering that if I could live a few more years, I would be able to think about a few more years of happiness.

I also heard people praying for an early death.

Heard it......

Someone seemed to be asking the same question as I wanted to ask.

I've heard someone say it again.

It's good if you don't be human.

This seems to be the real state of all beings.

It seems......

That's the answer I wanted.

With this answer, I left the city.

After walking for some time, I saw a towering mountain.

I felt like this was where I wanted to be.

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

I turned to look.

It was Li Taishan.

He walked briskly towards me.

He seemed to be in a good mood.

"I'll just say, we'll meet again, right?"

Li Taishan said with a smile.

"Have you found the answer?" I asked.

Li Taishan shook his head.

Then he nodded again.

I was a little confused, but he didn't mean to continue, and walked straight up the mountain.

"This mountain is called Mount Tai."

"Same as my name."

"My answer is on the mountain."

"Would you like 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, and we saw a temple in which there was no one in it, but there was a chessboard.

The chessboard is halfway down.

Li Taishan sat on the side of the sunspot.

I followed, and sat on the side of the white son.

"Baizi first."

Li Taishan said with a smile.

"I don't know how to play chess." I thought about it for a moment and said.

Li Taishan scratched his head.

"Neither will I."

"Anyway, you can go wherever you want."

I couldn't laugh or cry, but I still fell a white piece on the chessboard by feeling according to Li Taishan's words.

Seeing this, Li Taishan casually followed a sunspot.

Suddenly.

I felt as if everything around me had changed.

I seem to be remembering something again.

I remembered my name.

I remembered it all.

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

There are three more chairs on either side.

The red-clothed Nine Heavens Xuannu smiled at me and said, "Two, how is the path of sentient beings this time?" ”

I didn't answer.

Still looking at Li Taishan in front of him.

Exactly......

It's Taishan Mansion Jun.

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

"The Path of All Living Beings ......"

"All kinds of beings."

"Xuantian."

"You're right."

"It's just that I have one more question."

"Between right and wrong, what do you want to do?"

I thought for a moment and said, "Heavenly reincarnation, the cycle of cause and effect." ”

"There are only two words for the request of all beings."

"It's the choice."

"And what we're going to do is give them a choice."

As I spoke, with a wave of my hand, I took out five things from the underworld.

These five things are things for repairing the roulette wheel.

The wheel of reincarnation is the foundation of reincarnation, but if reincarnation is limited to people, it is incomplete.

"Now that reincarnation can be rebuilt, the roulette wheel should also change."

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

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

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

"The way of heaven, the way of the underworld, the way of man, and the way of all living beings can be attributed to the six realms."

"It is still based on good and evil."

"Distinguish between reincarnation."

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

"Great benevolent, enter the way of heaven!"

"The great evildoer, like the way of hell!"

"The rest are, the path of humanity, the path of Shura, the path of animals, and the path of evil ghosts!"

"Six reincarnations."

"Only then can we encompass all beings."

"The Root of Extreme Beings!"

"Did you know...... What is the cost of doing so? Taishan Fujun frowned and looked at me, "I have walked the path of sentient beings, and I know what sentient beings think, wish and want. ”

"There is nothing wrong with giving all beings choice."

"But all beings ......"

"Do you really need a choice?"

"What I ask, all beings are equal."

"All living beings can live forever."

"All living beings can become immortals."

"There is no longer such a thing as reincarnation."

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

I sighed slightly.

"Fujun."

"You still can't put it down."

"But you've already lost the game."

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

"The six realms of reincarnation are the trend of the times."

"After that, you can guard the road of good and evil in this Mount Tai."

"If you still can't let it go."

"Then how about letting the years tell right from wrong?"

"The third game?" Taishan Mansion Jun sighed slightly.
