This scene makes Sun Wucat's eyes shine, in the depths of this ever-extending cave, is a spacious clearing, the ground color is like a red flame, full of cracked lines, above the clearing, there are white, black, gold, purple, red, blue six tadpoles of different colors intertwined and flying up and down, left and right, their arms are long, sometimes shuttling on the ground and underground, sometimes shuttling inside and outside the wall, like swallows chasing each other and frolicking.

Sun Wumao quickened his pace, wanting to reach the clearing as soon as possible to find out. Although the ground was as red as a flame, he couldn't feel its heat, and as soon as he stepped on the clearing, Sun Wumao found that there were five more caves in front of him, and the width and narrowness of the cave entrance were the same size as the cave he had explored all the way, but the shapes were different.

Sun Wucat slowed down, stepped forward lightly, and stood alone in the middle of the clearing, with his back to the way he came.

When the six big tadpoles saw someone coming, they excitedly circled around Sun Wu Cat, and shuttled back and forth on his body as if flattering, but he didn't feel pain, just felt annoyed, so he waved his arm to dispel them.

Sun Wumao looked around, carefully looked at these caves, and marveled in his heart, he didn't expect that there was such a scene in this Skull Mountain.

It turned out that this spacious open space was the meeting place of the six caves around him, the cave opposite him was emitting a white mist from the depths, and there were four humanoid statues standing outside the entrance of the cave, which were arranged on the left and right, with facial features and figures no different from ordinary people seen on weekdays, the two people on the left, one holding a hat, the other holding a hammer, and the two people on the right, one carrying a rice bowl, and the other carrying a wheel; the cave in front of him on the left exuded a golden light from the depths, and the cave entrance was surrounded by layers of gold bricks, magnificent, and two golden gates were wide open; the cave in front of him on the right exuded a purple mist from the depthsOutside, there was a statue of a hungry ghost, bowed with long hair, skinny, holding a man in both hands, and gnawing on the man's head with his mouth open.

Sun Wumao turned around and faced the cave when he came, the depths were still dark, and there were a lion, a cow, and a cow standing outside the entrance of the cave. Three statues of a horse, the lion bites the tail of the ox, the ox bites the tail of the horse, and the horse bites the tail of the lion, in a circle; in the cave in front of him on the left, there is nothing outside the entrance of the cave, but there are two black gates in the entrance of the cave, which block the cave tightly, and I don't know what secrets are hidden behind the door; in the cave in front of his right, there are many strange lights and shadows reflected on the wall in the depths, ready to move, and there is a monster statue standing outside the entrance of the cave, with four eyes and four arms, and spitting fire in the mouth. The face is blue and black, the Buddha is not like the Buddha, the devil is not like the devil, the sun and the moon are supported in both hands, the knives and forks are held in both hands, the legs are split, and the crotch is the turbulent stream that flows from the depths of the cave, but I don't know where the water flows, neither diffuses, nor flows into the ground, let alone the sky, only flows to the crotch of the monster, and it seems to be cut off by an inexplicable force.

"Who is coming, why don't you see the ghost leading the way?"

There was a baby-like milky inquiry over his head, and Sun Wumao looked up and found that there was a wonderful world above his head.

The top of the cave is about five zhang high from the ground, and there is a large round wheel with two layers of inner and outer wheels, and a baby sits in the center of the inner wheel, with its head down and feet up, just opposite to the top of the Monkey King. From under the baby's seat, six beams of light were shot out, each shooting into the six openings below. On the left side of the baby lies a piglet, on the right side stands a pigeon, and under it is a poisonous snake coiled down, which is still "hissing" and spitting letters. Like the baby, the animals were upside down and moved freely, as if the roof of the cave was their floor, and the ground was the roof of their cave.

The outer ring of the round wheel is a relief sculpture that is half dark and half light. In the dark semi-ring, there are three people who are threaded into a string by a rope, one ghost cha is pulled from the front, and the other is driven from the back; in the semi-ring of light, there is a golden auspicious cloud, on which are walking Buddhas and people, and the four eyes and four arms, the Buddha is not like a Buddha, and the demon is not like a demon.

Finally met the monster, Sun Wu cat like a long drought and rain, happy laughter. He quickly raised the bronze mirror, facing him, ready to be sucked in by it at any moment, and looked up at the baby and smiled:

"Hahahaha! Great! Little monster! Come on, you come down, eat me! I'm human!"

"This donor, please be respectful, I'm not a demon below, please don't call me a little monster. The baby seemed to dislike the Monkey Cat for calling him that.

"Don't get in the way, little monster, it's a demon or not, it doesn't matter, just eat people!"

"I repeat, please don't call me a little monster!" the baby seemed a little angry.

"Okay, good, little fairy! Come down and eat me, I'm human!"

The baby, apparently pleased with the new name, laughed again, and continued to ask in a milky voice, "Oh, what? You say you are human, but why do I see you coming from that beast path?"

"Huh?" Sun Wumao thought to himself: This little monster is not simple, he actually saw through that I am not a human, and he also knows that I am from the path of animals...... Wait a minute? What Dao? Animal Dao? The cave I just walked all the way to, is it the Animal Dao among the six realms of reincarnation?

"Little Immortal, what are you talking about?" Sun Wumao was not particularly sure of his judgment, and wanted to confirm with him again, "You said that the way I came from is the beast path? Is the beast path you are talking about the beast path in the six realms of reincarnation?"

"Yes!hehe!" the baby still smiled milkily, "Man comes from humanity, beasts come from beasts, you say you are human, but I see you from beasts, why do you lie that you are human? and let me eat you, hehe! You beast is so strange!"

Sun Wumao is convinced now, what this baby said is really the animal path in the six reincarnations. When I eavesdropped on the Buddha's lectures, I heard that the six realms were mentioned, and the six realms are, to put it bluntly, the six places where sentient beings are reincarnated, namely the heavenly path, humanity, the asura path, the hell path, the hungry ghost path, and the animal path. He quickly looked around at the entrance of the cave around him, and then suddenly realized that the location he was in now was the confluence of the six realms, the center of the six realms. The cave where he came, the one with the sculptures of lions, cows, and horses biting each other's tails at the entrance of the cave was the Animal Dao, and the remaining five caves, the one with four people standing at the entrance of the cave was human, the entrance of the cave was paved with gold bricks, and the golden gate was wide open was the Heavenly Dao, the entrance of the cave was the Hungry Ghost Dao, the one with a scrawny hungry ghost standing at the entrance of the cave was the Hungry Ghost Dao, the one with a pitch-black gate blocked in the entrance of the cave was the Asura Dao.

Sun Wumao saw that he had come to the center of the six realms by mistake, and he was both excited and nervous, but he was not afraid.

When he saw that the baby had exposed his lies, he was not too convinced, and argued: "Little fairy, what you said is not right, if you are a human being, if you are an animal, if you are an animal, when will I lie that I am a human being as you say?

The baby replied: "I have seen a lot of people who went to the sixth path from my place to the sixth path, and who went the wrong way and cast the wrong fetus, but from the sixth place to my place, I have never seen anyone who went the wrong way, and it is impossible to go the wrong way!"

"How is it impossible? You are saying this too absolutely, right? I'm here, don't you see it!"

"Hehe, the Tao does not exist, all living beings open their own, people come and people open the way, animals come to open the way, people open the way, animals open the way, people are people, animals are animals, what can't be changed, it's good. ”

Although the baby's words were very obscure, but they seemed to be very reasonable, Sun Wumao pondered in his heart, and finally understood his meaning, and asked: "Oh! I seem to understand, do you mean: the six paths in front of me are not fixed, if I am an animal, then no matter which hole I come out of, the hole at the mouth of the hole is full of lions, cows and horses, and I can't get out of this beast way?"

"Yes. ”

"This ......" Sun Wumao's heart was filled with dissatisfaction: This shouldn't be, how can I be on the path of animals? I am a cat at the feet of the Buddha! Lingshan Bayin Protector! There is no merit and hard work, right? If you don't go out of the six realms, you should also enter the heavenly path? If you take 10,000 steps back and say, at the worst of all, I should also enter the asura path that is neither Buddha nor demon! This animal path is called the path of the three evils together with the hell path and the hungry ghost path! In this way, I am on the same team as the devil and the hungry ghost in the hell?

It could not accept this fact, so it asked the baby on its head, "Little fairy, are you telling the truth?"

"Really. ”

"Since I can't hide it from you, then I'll tell you the truth, I see that your little fairy knows a lot, and it just so happens that I am also a little confused in my heart, you can see if you can help me solve it." ”

Say. ”

"You're right, I'm not a human, it's true, I'm a cat on the Spirit Mountain, born at the feet of the Buddha, I'm two hundred years old, and I'm the head of the Eight Yin Protectors of the Spirit Mountain, you say it's reasonable, I shouldn't be on that beast path, right?

"This is a matter of your Buddhist family, how can I know?" the baby replied, "However, from the experience of thousands of sentient beings I have seen in these six realms over the years, it must be that your animal nature has not been eliminated, there are demons in your heart, and the good path cannot tolerate you, and you have no ability to leave the six realms, so you can only stay in that beast path for a while." In my opinion, this is already very good for you, it's better than the Hell Road and the Hungry Ghost Road!"

Listening to the baby's words, Sun Wumao was like an initiation, and he recalled the conversation with the ethereal and deep voice when he walked all the way in the cave, and the voice had said that it was the demon in his heart.
