"Hehe~" At this moment, a laughing voice suddenly sounded behind them. Wu Qi and Du Jie turned around and saw that it was Kong Miaozhi, the sixth child. This kid was wearing a brand new blue robe today, looking at Wu Qi and Du Jie in a mock-like manner. When Wu Qi saw it, he yelled and was about to rush over. Du Jie quickly stopped him. Then he smiled and said to Kong Miaozhi: "Sixth Senior Brother, we haven't seen you for a long time, so stop teasing me and Third Senior Brother. Did Master ask you to pick us up?"
Kong Miaozhi still smiled and said: "Seventh Junior Brother, how many years older are you than me? From now on, just call me Lao Liu, and I will call you Lao Qi. Our master is already waiting for you at the door. . Lao Qi, come with me."
Wu Qi said angrily after hearing this: "If you hadn't caused trouble, I would have taken Lao Qi back."
Kong Miaozhi covered his mouth and smiled: "That's not because you are stupid. If Lao Qi hadn't grabbed you just now, you would have been beaten to pieces now." Wu Qi looked down after listening to Kong Miaozhi's words. Looking at it, there is indeed a trap hidden between himself and Kong Miaozhi.
"You little bastard, how dare you plot against your third brother? I won't break your legs until I break your legs." Wu Qi shouted angrily and rushed over to beat Kong Miaozhi. Kong Miaozhi screamed strangely and ran back without turning his head. The two men fought and ran away, and soon disappeared from Du Jie's sight.
Du Jie smiled helplessly, stood up and was about to walk forward, but for some reason, he suddenly felt that the road on the mountain seemed to have changed a little. This road seemed to be slightly different from the road his two senior brothers had just walked. , but he couldn't tell what the difference was.
At this moment, Wu Qi's voice came to Du Jie's ears: "Seventh Junior Brother, if you want to enter the Tianji Sect, you have to pass three levels first. Senior Brother, go to the upper courtyard to wait for you. You must hold on, don't turn around and run away." The voice said. Fading away, by the time the last word was spoken, it was already ethereal and silent.
Du Jie stood there in astonishment after hearing this. He thought that becoming a disciple was just a process, but he didn't expect that there were three difficulties waiting for him. And according to the third senior brother, these three difficulties didn't seem to be that big. Better off. However, Du Jie didn't think much about it. Since he agreed to learn from his grandfather, how could he give up halfway? After looking at the road up the mountain, I continued walking forward.
After walking for about half an hour, I came to a fork in the road. There was a doorway on the left and right. The one on the left was shabby. The wall was covered with weeds. There were also a few beggar-looking people there. Bask in the sun. The one on the right is a magnificent building, resplendent with gold and jade, and there are several chairs and tables in the doorway. Many people dressed in rich and noble clothes are eating, drinking, and chatting here.
Du Jie was stunned when he saw it. He didn't know where this place was. He thought for a moment that he had never dealt with beggars, so he went to the doorway on the right first, found a table of people at random, clasped his fists and bowed deeply, then said : "Sorry to bother you all, Du Jie would like to ask, is this the way to go to Tianjimen?"
After Du Jie finished speaking, he waited for someone to answer him with a smile, but after waiting for a long time, everyone ignored him and continued to talk. Du Jie was a little embarrassed and raised his voice again and asked: "Excuse me, brothers, I want to go to Tianjimen, but can I go through this road?" After waiting for another long time, no one paid him any attention. Du Jie couldn't stand it anymore. He wanted to get angry, but in the end he held it back. He moved to another table in excitement and asked again with a smile, but still no one paid attention to him. It's as if he is transparent. There is no way to get into the eyes of these gorgeously dressed people.
His temper suddenly rose, he grabbed the collar of the person in front of him and shouted loudly: "Didn't you hear what I was asking you? Are you deaf or mute?"
The rich man who was grabbed by his clothes panicked for a moment, but quickly reacted and shouted: "Let go, let go!" Du Jie let go of his hand with a grunt, and the rich man sat down panting. Everyone at the other tables also looked over. The rich man who was arrested before sat down and rolled his eyelids up and said: "I am neither deaf nor dumb, I just don't want to answer you. You are so interesting. If you ask others, they will definitely answer. You? What a joke. Go away!"
Others also waved their sleeves at him and shouted at him to leave. Du Jie's face turned red and white and left. He had never encountered such a soft nail. The fire that suppressed him turned to another road. The city wall on this road was in tatters, but under the wall there were a bunch of beggars in rags basking in the sun. When Du Jie passed by, the group of people came over with playful smiles. Among them, an old man in his fifties asked in a low voice: "What does this young master do for you?"
Du Jie suppressed his anger, then put on a smile and asked: "This fellow, I would like to ask which way to go to Tianjimen."
As soon as Du Jie finished asking this question, almost everyone who came over said in unison: "Exactly."
"Young master, if you want to go to Tianji Gate, you can pass through this door and walk forward for half an hour."
Du Jie was overjoyed after hearing this. He said thank you and walked through the doorway and continued walking forward. After they were some distance away from the fork in the road, Du Jie was still muttering in his heart: This rich man is indeed such an arrogant and rude person. He is really unkind for the sake of wealth. He is absolutely right. Fortunately, some fellow villagers who were born in poor families helped me, otherwise I would have been on many wrongful paths.
Du Jie carried the Jiutian Soul-Chasing Gun on his back, humming a tune as he walked forward, thinking about the three levels he had to pass on the way up the mountain. After walking for about half an hour, he saw what seemed to be some building standing there in the distance. Du Jie was overjoyed. It seemed that the Tianjimen was about to arrive.
After walking for another cup of tea, Du Jie looked forward and was suddenly stunned. There seemed to be a fork in the road in the distance that was exactly the same as before. Likewise, the city wall on the left is in tatters, while the city wall on the right is magnificent. Du Jie hurriedly ran forward and looked at the city walls on the left and right. Sure enough, we are back to the fork in the road just now. The rich man on the right still remembers each one clearly.
How is this going? Did you go astray? But I remember that I have been walking up the mountain road.
With the previous lesson learned, Du Jie went directly to the base of the old mother-in-law's rotten wall on the left. As soon as he walked in, the old man who was the most enthusiastic about Du Jie just now came up to him: "Why did the young master come back again? Could it be that he went to the wrong place? Road, I blame the old man for not making it clear to the young master just now. If you go forward from this intersection, turn left whenever there is a fork, and you will reach Tianjimen in a while."
Du Jie showed a genuine expression, and seeing how enthusiastic they were, he gave them all the money he had. The beggars got these scraps of silver, and they all knelt on the ground and thanked them a thousand times. Du Jie felt embarrassed at this time. Quickly help them up one by one.
"Fellow, I want to know what the people on the right do. They are all dressed so smartly. They all look like landlords." Du Jie originally wanted to leave, but he always felt that something was wrong and had nothing to say. chatting with the old man.
"Them! Young master, it's better not to provoke them and get on the road quickly." As if he was talking about something painful, the old man advised Du Jie to leave quickly with an embarrassed look on his face.
Du Jie muttered to himself and had no choice but to turn around and leave. He walked more carefully as he walked forward, but he always felt that something was wrong the further he walked, as if he had already walked this road. When Du Jie finally reacted, the fork in the road and two completely different doorways appeared in front of her again!
"It's a phantom array!" Du Jie finally confirmed that this was one of the three phantom arrays that appeared on the way to Tianjimen before the third senior brother told him. Those beggars actually deceived me twice, and I was so stupid that I gave them all the money I had.
Du Jie angrily ran to the fork on the left. The old man saw Du Jie and was stunned for a moment. Before he could say anything, Du Jie started scolding him: "You old man, you are so unreasonable, I'm sorry. I politely asked for directions and gave you all the money, but you actually led me into the illusion array, which is really unreasonable."
When the old man and the other beggars heard this, they came over in fear, leaned forward and said, "No, sir, how come there is a phantom formation? We, the group of people, use this road every time we go back to Tianjimen to beg for food. Master, you have wrongly blamed us." As he spoke, he actually cried out of grievance.
Du Jie couldn't bear it anymore. He waved his hand irritably and walked out from the city wall on the left. He looked at the city wall on the right and said after a while: "There must be a way out of this phantom formation." , since it’s not on the left, then it must be the road on the right. I don’t need to ask those landlords who have their eyes set on the top, I can just walk there myself.”
Thinking of this, Du Jie strode to the entrance of the cave on the right, glanced at the rich people who were still chatting and laughing, and walked over without saying a word. But this time it was better. Just when he was about to pass through the doorway, a short, fat, rich old man stepped across the road and said, "Wait a minute."
Du Jie glanced at him and asked, "What?"
"If you want to pass here, you need fifty taels of silver!" The rich old man blew his beard and said matter-of-factly.
"Fifty taels? Are you sick!" Du Jie was really angry. First, the people here had an arrogant attitude, and then the people on the other side took him in two circles for no reason. Du Jie's temper, which was not particularly good to begin with, finally broke out.
"Don't want to? Seeing that you are so young, forty taels is enough." The fat old man glanced at Du Jie with disgust from the corner of his eyes, and said in a false voice.
"Old man, listen to me, I won't get out a penny. I don't care if this road belongs to your family. If you don't get out of the way, I'm going to beat you up!" Du Jie was so angry that he was so angry shouted redly
"What are you doing? In broad daylight, you actually dare to hit someone. Do you want to give me something? I want to make it clear to you, if you don't give me these forty taels, even if you can force your way through, you will never get to the Tianji Gate. "The man said
