After walking up for more than an hour, Li Tianqi finally came to a thick gate, and the huge mountain stone on the side of the gate was obliquely engraved with the four big characters of "Shushan Qi Sect". Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

The gate of the Qi Sect is in front of you.

The circular gate was tightly closed, and there was silence all around, and it seemed that no one was guarding it. A violent mountain wind suddenly blew from one side, blowing the dwarf trees and wild grass on both sides of the bluestone steps, as if there were many people hiding.

"Who are you?" A slightly hoarse voice came from his side.

Li Tianqi couldn't help but be shocked, and followed the prestige, but he didn't see any figures, only the branches and weeds swaying in the wind. As he pondered, the voice came again, "Who are you?" Say it! ”

Li Tianqi had no choice but to bow his hand in the direction where the voice came from: "I am here to learn from the teacher, please let me go in and let me go." ”

"Hmph, you actually came to apprentice late at night, you are also wonderful. But...... Later, I'll call someone for you. The voice continued to come, and after the words, Li Tianqi saw a black shadow flying out of a branch not far from him, and soon disappeared into the gate.

Before Xie Zi could say it, Li Tianqi was a little dumbfounded, the black shadow was not a person, but a huge bird, because Li Tianqi saw its outstretched wings, and the arrow flew into it!

It's surprising that there are birds that can understand human language, and besides, it's dark at this time, and even if it's a bird, it's time to sleep, but this guy is like a spirited sentinel stationed here secretly, which can't help but make people surprised.

After waiting outside the door for a while, the door really opened slowly, and a short and fat man poked his head out and looked out for a while, yawning and shouting: "I heard Brother Wren say that someone wants to learn art, who is it?" ”

Li Tianqi, who was sitting in a bush on the side of the road, quickly stood up, arched his hand to the short and fat man and said, "There is a lot of trouble, it is down there!" ”

But I saw that the short and fat man had a round face and thin eyes, and he was about thirty years old, although he was not very old, his hairline was receding, and his head was even more chubby.

"Those lazy bastards didn't bring anyone up!" Humpty Dumpty muttered as he slowly pushed the gate open, apparently blaming the gatekeepers at the bottom of the hill for being lazy and sleeping.

The heavy door slowly opened, revealing a three-foot square crack in the door, and the Humpty Dumpty saw that there was a mediocre-looking dwarf standing in front of him under the moonlight, and couldn't help laughing: "It turned out to be a short boy." He stepped out of the threshold and moved out of it, although he looked short and fat, but after coming out, he deliberately stood beside Li Tianqi and measured his height, and he was actually three inches taller than Li Tianqi.

He smelled the sweat and sour breath on Li Tianqi's body, and couldn't help pinching his nose and said, "Boy, what's your name and who's your name?" What kind of teacher did you come here in the middle of the night to worship? ”

Li Tianqi said: "In the cold wind, the cold cold, the wind and snow, because of the persecution of people cornered, I heard that the Shushan Qi Sect has a wide range of disciples, so I came here, and I hope to worship under the door." ”

Humpty Dumpty said, "Cold wind? Your surname is too rare, I guess you are from a small border land, right? ”

Li Tianqi said: "Nanban Xiaodi, let Your Excellency smile." ”

Humpty Dumpty looked at Li Tianqi again and said, "Okay, seeing that you are sincere, just follow me in." Wash up, change into a dry set of clothes, and see the person in charge tomorrow to see if he can accept you. ”

"Thank you, Your Excellency." Li Tianqi hugged his fists.

Humpty Dumpty glanced back and forth, then spread his hand in front of Li Tianqi and said, "You can't come to apprentice empty-handed, right?" Take some filial piety and do it for you. ”

"This should be." Li Tianqi naturally understood, so he took out a few taels of silver and put it on Humpty Dumpty's hand, Humpty Dumpty shook his head and said, "Don't you know that my Qi Sect has always recruited people based on qualifications?" You are mediocre-looking, short in stature, it is estimated that it will be difficult to keep it......" He stood in front of the door, making a helpless look, it seemed that he thought that the money was too little.

Li Tianqi knew it, so he took it into his arms, he wanted to find a gold leaf, and he would go in quickly to avoid long nights, and he didn't want to be in a hurry, the ice crystal given by Antuolu accidentally fell out with the hand he withdrew.

The short and fat man had quick eyes and quick hands, and quickly grabbed it in mid-air, and immediately raised his eyebrows, and said: "This is your mistake, if you don't take out such treasures quickly, wait for me to have a few more lips." Thank you! ”

Li Tianqi knew that the ice crystal had a special purpose and wanted to retrieve it, but when he heard him say this, he was afraid that if he wanted to take it forcibly, he would expose his identity, so he unfolded a gold leaf in his hand and said: "That ice crystal is my important thing, and this gold leaf is ......."

The Humpty Dumpty man had already put away the ice crystals, patted Li Tianqi's back and said with a smile: "Boy, if you are lucky, you can keep the golden leaf, let's go, go in with my senior brother, and make sure you can learn real kung fu." It seems that at this moment, he no longer felt the bad smell on Li Tianqi's body, but deliberately narrowed the distance with him.

This person also changed quickly, and immediately after receiving the gift, he changed his mind and regarded himself as a senior brother. For the sake of the overall situation, Li Tianqi had no choice but to endure it for the time being, and then secretly retrieve it when he found an opportunity in the future, so he had no choice but to say: "Then Senior Brother Lao will help." ”

Humpty Dumpty said, "You can rest assured." It's all on me. As he spoke, he yawned and said, "It's cold at night, hurry in, I'll arrange a place for you to stay first, and take you up tomorrow to find the principal to let you in." ”

Li Tianqi followed Humpty Dumpty into the gate, it turned out that this was just a courtyard, there was a wing room on the left and right, and there was an archway dozens of zhang ahead, there was a road under the archway that still stretched forward, and continued to extend up along the mountain, because the sky was dark, and the road ahead was not seen clearly, but it was estimated that there was still a long way to go.

He thought he had arrived, but he didn't expect it to be just a gateway place.

"I make money, I make money, but I don't know how to spend it!" The bird that was perched on a laurel tree suddenly began to sing.

Humpty Dumpty whispered to the bird, "Why don't you go and watch for me!" ”

Brother Wren shouted, "Got it, it's really long-winded! Flapping his wings, he flew to the gate again.

Li Tianqi was secretly surprised by the spirituality of this bird, and after asking Humpty Dumpty, he learned that this bird's name was Brother Wren, which he happened to find when he was wandering in the mountains and forests a few months ago, when the bird was injured, and he was very surprised when he shouted for help, so he brought it back, and one person and one bird stayed at this east gate.

Humpty Dumpty's name is Song Danian, in fact, he is also lonely, and he only joined the Shushan Qi Sect by chance, but because of his mediocre appearance and dull qualifications, he has not been reused, and the errand he received is also the job of guarding the door and the warehouse.

But Humpty Dumpty Song Danian boasted in front of Li Tianqi that he was the head of the portal, and all those who came up to learn from him needed to be recommended by him before they were qualified to meet the person in charge and seek to become a disciple.

Seeing him talking endlessly, Li Tianqi believed it for a while.

Song Danian arranged a clay kang for Li Tianqi in the west wing, although the clay kang was very simple and there was almost no bedding, but Song Danian said that it was a test and let him overcome it.

After pointing out to Li Tianqi the place to boil water and take a bath, Song Danian couldn't help being tired anymore, waved his hand and went to sleep by himself.

Li Tianqi found the stove, boiled a pot of hot water by himself, took a hot bath, and then changed into coarse cloth clothes on the kang, and fell asleep......

In the early morning of the next day, Li Tianqi woke up early because he was hungry, but Song Danian continued to sleep soundly, no matter how he called, he just wouldn't open the door.

It wasn't until the third day of the day, after another disciple on duty opened the door and walked out, that the fat Song Danian opened his sleepy eyes, yawned and stretched his waist to walk out of the door, and saw the anxious Li Tianqi stunned for a while, and then remembered what happened last night.

After Song Danian finished washing, he found a few steamed buns in the kitchen, shared them with Li Tianqi, and then took him to continue to the mountain. Along the way, Li Tianqi realized that although the portal was already at a high place, when he looked behind him at this time, the portal was more like it was at the foot of the mountain. The height of this Shu Mountain is amazing, and the towering ancient tree that covers the sky and the sun is more like hugging the peaks, vast and boundless.

After walking up for another hour, I came to an annex. The courtyard was full of people, and the sound of practicing boxing and juggling was endless, and Li Tianqi guessed that he had arrived at a place to practice.

Song Danian told him that this is the location of the prison, which is in charge of all rear affairs, and if you want to become a disciple of the Qi Sect, it is easiest to find the prison, but the disciples under the jurisdiction of the prison are mostly those who manage the kitchen and guard the checkpoints, if you want to learn the real skills, you still have to go to the head of the sect, the head of the sect is the head of the head of teaching all the new disciples, but it is not so easy to get the approval of the head of the head of the sect, after all, Li Tianqi is a dwarf, and he will never get into the eyes of the head of the sect.

It seems that Song Danian has already arranged a future for Li Tianqi, and the reason why he chose the Prophet Prison is to let him easily pass the test and stay.

Li Tianqi thought that this time he was not really going to learn from a teacher, but to seek a place where he could hide his identity and secretly investigate, and the rear affairs did not involve too many secrets of the sect, but he could understand the layout of the Qi Sect clearly, and it was better to hide his identity, so he agreed to Song Danian's suggestion and went to see the prison.

The prison was a gray-haired old man, about sixty or seventy years old, and his gray clothes made him even more thin, but his eyes revealed a sense of majesty, but it made people a little afraid.

The prison asked Li Tianqi about his origin, name, reason for joining the Qi Sect, etc., but did not mention anything about his entry, Song Danian repeatedly looked at Li Tianqi, it turned out that this prison was also a man of good money, Li Tianqi had no choice but to offer a piece of gold leaf.

The prison did not show a moved face, calmly asked Li Tianqi to put the golden leaf on the table, and then waved his hand to let Song Danian lead him to the east gate, and finally ended this long conversation.

As soon as I got out, the sounds of practicing boxing disappeared completely, and the surroundings became quiet. Although these people in the other courtyard also practiced kung fu, they were not comparable to those disciples who specialized in cultivation under the head of the sect.

At this time, Song Danian told Li Tianqi that the prison said that this was an agreement, but what he didn't expect was that his first job was to follow Song Danian to guard the east gate.

But Li Tianqi was still satisfied with this result, at least, Song Danian was nearby, and it was not difficult to retrieve the ice crystals, and the most important thing was that Song Danian must be clear about the affairs in the rear, so that he could have a detailed understanding of the layout of this Qi Sect, so that it was easy to find out useful information.
