Qiming looked around and found himself in a secluded valley.

I don't know where the five people took Qiming, obviously it was still night when he arrived in Huaxia before, but when he appeared here, it became daytime.

Around the valley, the mountains are unusually high and reach into the sky.

At the foot of Qiming is a long stone mountain road, which is very long, leading into the mountains in the distance, and disappearing between the sea of clouds.

On both sides of the mountain road, the trees are luxuriant, covering most of the sky above the mountain road, and only a little light leaves bright spots on the mountain road through the gaps in the leaves.

"It's a great place to retreat. ”

Looking at the surrounding scenery, such a thought suddenly popped into Qiming's mind.

"You can't apparition here, please follow me. ”

The one of the five with the Enlightenment Phantom Transfiguration said.

After speaking, he didn't wait for Qiming, and walked along the mountain road with the other four people, Qiming looked at the figures of the four people gradually in the distance, hesitated slightly, and followed.

Qiming followed the five people on the mountain road and kept moving forward, and the five of them walked very fast, almost at the speed of a trot.

As they continued to move forward, the mountain path gradually rose, and soon, Qiming found that the height he was on had exceeded all the surrounding peaks, but he still could not see the end of the mountain road, which was a strange feeling, as if the mountain path under his feet led to the sky.

Qiming followed the five of them for a long time, for several hours, but to his surprise, he didn't notice the slightest change in the sky.

Not only that, after walking for so long, the trees on both sides of the mountain road had hardly changed, and if it weren't for watching the mountains below get smaller and smaller, Qiming would almost have thought that they had been standing still.

Finally, another few hours passed, until Qiming's mouth was bored and opened to yawn, and his open mouth could not close.

Genting Heavenly Palace, or a similar building, this is a word that popped up in Qiming's mind when he saw the palace built in the clouds in front of him.

This is a palace floating in the sky, the palace is covered with mist, they finally walked out of the dense forest on both sides of the mountain road, the mountain road finally came to an end, replaced by suspended steps, I don't know what material is made of, all the way to the main hall at the gate of the palace.

The golden sunlight shone on the sea of clouds around the palace, enveloping the entire palace in a golden light, like a fairyland.

The five people stopped, turned to face Qiming, and the man in the middle spoke:

"Mr. Qiming, welcome to the Ministry of Magic. ”

After a short silence, Qiming was stunned, and then reacted,

"This is the Ministry of Magic?!The Ministry of Magic in the Huaxia Wizarding World?"

"Yes. ”

The man nodded.

“...... All right. ”

Qiming opened his mouth, but didn't say anything in the end. He found that he thought badly, he thought that all the ministries of magic in the world were like the Ministry of Magic of country E, but he now understood that the ministries of magic of each country should have their own characteristics, and the Ministry of Magic of Huaxia should naturally have Huaxia's own style, and the one in front of him is it.

Qiming followed the five people up the suspended steps and walked into the palace in front of him, which was like a heavenly palace, and unlike the quiet atmosphere outside, the palace was very lively.

They were now standing at the gate of a very deep and imposing hall, the hall was covered with very bright obsidian, and countless men and women walked through the spacious hall, and Qiming noticed that all the people in the hall, no matter what clothes they were wearing, had the same sign on their chests—the Tai Chi Bagua Diagram.

A few people entered the main hall for a long time, and in the corner of the main hall, a beautiful woman in a red dress greeted them.

"Please come with me, Mr. Qiming, the minister is already waiting. ”

Qiming nodded and continued to walk forward with the woman, but the five men before did not follow.

"Aren't you coming along?"

Qiming stopped and asked back.

"They're not going to follow,"

The woman turned around and said to Qiming with a formulaic smile,

"They're not real people, they're just humanoid puppets controlled by magic. ”

"Uh...... All right. ”

Qiming said, no wonder these guys didn't say a few words from beginning to end, it turned out that they were not human.

Following behind the woman, Qiming chatted with the woman casually.

"How do you get to work? Do you have to climb a mountain for more than ten hours a day?"

"Regular employees of the Ministry of Magic go to work via teleportation arrays or using phantom shifting, Mr. Keimyo,"

The woman smiled,

"Only those who come to the Ministry of Magic for the first time need to take that mountain path, and if they come once, they will be apparition when they come again. ”

Qiming nodded, which did not surprise him.

"But don't you think that trail is a bit long?"

Qiming asked.

For the first time, there was a sincere smile on the woman's face, and there was a bit of helplessness in the smile.

"You can think of it as some kind of bad taste of the minister, you know, the minister has lived for more than 18,000 years, and he has to have some fun for himself every now and then, doesn't he?"

"Eighteen thousand years old? You said your minister lived to be eighteen thousand years old?!"

Qiming asked in surprise, I don't know when he started, he was extremely sensitive to the number of eighteen thousand, according to the original message, it was the years and months that had passed since the Great War of the Flood Desolation and the Gods.

"Yes, what's the problem?"

The woman wondered,

"In the Chinese wizarding world, although no one has lived as long as the minister, there are also people who have lived for more than two thousand years, and they are still alive. We don't pursue eternal life like the wizarding world in the West, our quest is more practical, immortality, not eternal life. In terms of immortality, we Huaxia can be said to have gone the farthest of all wizarding circles in the world. ”

Qi Ming nodded, and didn't ask anything else, his mind had already been filled with the number of eighteen thousand that the woman said, and now, he just wanted to see the so-called Minister of Magic of the Huaxia Wizarding Realm as soon as possible to see who the other party was.

"Here we are. ”

While Qiming was thinking, the woman had already led him to the door of a room with an open door. The layout of the room was incompatible with the magnificent, fairyland-like palace that Qiming had seen from the outside, and a familiar diao silk aura almost overflowed from the room.

In fact, even the layout of this room is very familiar to Qiming, and the familiar Qiming is about to scold - this TM is clearly his kennel!!

At this moment, a bearded man walked out of the back room of the room, and when he saw Qiming, he was stunned for a moment, and then his face showed a look of surprise.

"Yo, Qiming, finally meet again. ”

Despite the man's beard, greasy, and sloppy hair, Qiming recognized the face at a glance—and his face was carved out of the same mold.
