Chapter 1192 Six Paths
Zhou Wen had listened to many ghost stories from his grandfather since he was a child, many of which were about the underworld.
He had heard a lot about things like the Hall of the King of Hell, Lord Yama, and the Judge's Little Devil. Zhou Wen had the impression that after crossing the Naihe Bridge, he would be in Fengdu City.
Fengdu City is also known as the legendary ghost town. Legend has it that the Ten Yama Kings live in Fengdu City.
There was an earlier Ghost Emperor named Tubo, who also lived in Fengdu City, but the place where he lived was called Youdu in mythology and legends.
Regardless of which legend it was, one should be able to see some powerful beings and ghost towns in myths and legends after crossing the Naihe Bridge. However, when Zhou Wen stood on the Naihe Bridge, the scene he saw was somewhat different from what he imagined.
There is no Fengdu City, no Yama Palace, and not even a small temple.
On the other side of the Naihe Bridge, there are only six huge gates, on which are written "Heavenly Path", "Asura Path", "Hell Path", "Hungry Ghost Path", "Animal Path" and "Human Path" respectively.
An Sheng and An Tianzuo were standing in front of the six gates at this time, seemingly hesitating which gate to enter.
Zhou Wen walked over holding Yaer. Ansheng and An Tianzuo were not too surprised to see the bird and the antelope coming together. Over the past five years, the bird and the antelope had followed An Jing, who pretended to be Zhou Wen, and had also shown many strange things.
What's more, when Zhou Wen was not around, it was Ansheng who was responsible for taking care of them. With Ansheng's meticulousness, how could he not notice the peculiarity of the antelopes?
Seeing Zhou Wen coming over, An Sheng said, "These six gates should be the legendary six reincarnations. Legend has it that if a ghost enters them, they will be reincarnated, but there is no description of what will happen to a living person if he enters them."
Zhou Wen thought for a moment and said, "If this is really the place of the six reincarnations, with so many lives dying on Earth every day, it would have been overrun with ghosts long ago. How could it be so quiet? I guess it's just another dimension."
An Sheng nodded slightly. "That being said, since there are six realms, there might very well be forbidden powers corresponding to the six realms of reincarnation. We have to be on guard against that. Furthermore, we don't know which gate Madam and the others entered. If we try them one by one, it would waste too much time."
Zhou Wen looked at the six gates and said, "Theoretically, entering the Humanity Gate is the most normal choice."
"She won't choose humanity." An Tianzuo, who had been silent all this time, suddenly spoke.
"Why?" Zhou Wen was puzzled.
An Tianzuo didn't answer. An Sheng beside him quickly explained, "Madam's personality is a little different from that of ordinary people. If it were an ordinary person, they would definitely choose the most reliable human path. But if it were Madam, she would definitely think twice. Maybe such an obvious hint from the human path is a trap in itself, so she would choose another door."
"Of course, this is just an example. Madam may actually think more about it. Given her personality, the possibility of her choosing the humane path is indeed very small." An Sheng added.
Zhou Wen thought about it and felt that what An Sheng said did make some sense. From the few times they met, Ouyang Lan was indeed a person who did not play by the rules.
The first time Zhou Wen went to her house for dinner, she cheated her own daughter. Zhou Wen was really a little surprised at that time.
"So which door will Sister Lan choose?" Zhou Wen said as he looked at the other five doors.
He had limited knowledge of Ouyang Lan and couldn't guess which path Ouyang Lan would choose.
"Well... didn't I just say that Madam has a unique personality, and it's really hard to guess which path she will take." An Sheng said helplessly, spreading his hands.
An Tianzuo suddenly spoke again: "Although her personality is peculiar, she is definitely not the kind of person who acts recklessly without any rules. She will definitely choose a path that we can guess."
An Sheng looked at An Tianzuo and asked, "General, in your opinion, which path will the Madam choose?"
"Thinking about it." An Tianzuo replied.
An Sheng looked at the gates and said, "The animal realm is unlikely. Madam, who loves beauty so much, would not want to become another creature. The hungry ghost realm and the hell realm, together with the animal realm, are known as the three evil realms. They are not good places either. I think it is unlikely that Madam would choose them. The remaining heavenly realm and the asura realm seem possible. Normally, most people would choose the heavenly realm, which is said to have good fortune, but given Madam's personality, she might also choose the asura realm."
"What kind of place is the Asura Path in the legend?" Zhou Wen only knew the name of the Six Paths and did not have an in-depth and detailed understanding of it.
"The Asura Path is the devil's path. What we usually call falling into the devil's path refers to the Asura Path. However, the Asura Path is also listed as one of the three good paths. The reasons for this are very complicated, and I haven't understood them in detail." An Sheng explained.
An Tianzuo looked at the gate of the Asura Path and said, "Asuras are found throughout the six realms. There are celestial Asuras in the heavenly realm, human Asuras in the human realm, hellish Asuras in the hellish realm, and hungry ghost Asuras in the hungry ghost realm. Asuras have the appearance of each realm, and their forms are ever-changing and different. But the only thing that remains the same is that Asuras are warlike, no matter which realm they are in."
"Asheng, you are right. Given my daughter's personality, she will most likely choose the Ashura Path, and she can only choose the Ashura Path." An Tianzuo said as he walked towards the gate of the Ashura Path.
"Why?" An Sheng asked with some confusion.
Although the possibility of the heavenly way is smaller, it is not impossible.
An Tianzuo said without turning his head, "Because after she watched a battle before, she no longer has a favorable impression of things with the word 'tian' in it. She even wanted to change the word 'tian' in my name. So, she will definitely not choose the path of heaven and man."
"Which battle is it? Why don't I know?" An Sheng asked.
But An Tianzuo did not answer him and had already walked into the gate of Asura Road.
Zhou Wen was also a little curious about which battle made Ouyang Lan dislike the word "Tian".
"Young Master Wen, let's go in too." Seeing that An Tianzuo had disappeared, An Sheng called Zhou Wen and immediately rushed into the gate of Asura Road.
Zhou Wen was about to follow in when he suddenly felt a force pulling at the corner of his clothes, pulling him to the other side.
Looking down, he saw the antelope biting the corner of his clothes with its mouth and pulling him to the other side.
"What are you doing?" Zhou Wen asked Antelope.
The antelope wrote a few words on the ground with its hoof: "Ouyang Lan did not enter the Ashura Road, come with me."
"How do you know she didn't enter the Ashura Path?" Zhou Wen didn't quite believe Lingyang and asked, staring at him.
"Why do you think Ouyang Lan came here?" Antelope asked.
"I encountered danger and was forced to come in." Zhou Wen replied.
"Since she knew there was danger and knew that you would definitely come to rescue her, and An Tianzuo was able to guess that she would enter the Ashura Road, then she must also know that if she entered the Ashura Road, it would very likely put you in danger. What do you think she will choose?" Antelope said.
"You mean, in order to prevent us from being in danger, she will do the opposite and take a path that An Tianzuo would never imagine?" Zhou Wen immediately understood what Antelope meant, and his eyes couldn't help but look at Tianrendao.
An Tianzuo said that Ouyang Lan hated the word "Tian" and it was impossible for her to choose the Tianren Dao. If Antelope's inference was correct, Ouyang Lan was most likely to enter the Tianren Dao.
Good night.
