Chapter 54: The Nine Gates of Truth
"The Nine Gates of Truth?" Li Jie asked curiously. "That's a pretty good name! Hee-hee. ”
"Pull the wind?! This is more than just pulling the wind! Zhang Lao Er rubbed his hands very excitedly, suddenly remembered something, and hurriedly turned around and ran.
After a while, Zhang Lao Er pushed the door in, and there was a thick ancient book in his hand. As he walked, he flipped through the pages quickly, and when he came to the front, he suddenly spread out the book for Li Jie to see. "Take a closer look and see if it's the same as this?"
Li Jie looked and saw that what was shown to him was a full-page illustration. The illustration depicts nine doors of different colors in different colors. After staring at it for a few moments, Li Jie nodded affirmatively. Glancing at the page next to it, I saw rows of tadpole-like words written on it. Look at the book has turned yellow and discolored, and the case is covered with dust. Immediately suspicious.
After Zhang Lao Er saw Li Jie's confirmation, he patted Li Jie on the shoulder excitedly and laughed: "Haha." Sure enough, I guessed correctly. It really is the door of truth! You little monster is truly one of the strongest of our guardians in the past. ”
Li Jie tilted his head in confusion and asked, "What are the Nine Gates of Truth?" He felt that Zhang Lao Er had been in a state of madness since he heard him finish the dream. It seems to be happier than he has picked up millions.
Zhang Lao Er smiled and pointed his finger at Li Jie and said, "You listen carefully to me...... If you want to talk about the origin of this door of truth, you have to start with a myth and legend/one/book/reading/novel ybdu. Legend has it that when the gods created man, they were originally constructed in the form of the gods themselves. At that time, human beings were created not only to look like God, but also to be similar to God in power. So much so that when there is a war between humans, the entire space is under great threat. In order to protect the survival of space, God was forced to seal the human power. Legend has it that the gods placed a total of nine prohibitions on human bodies. These nine prohibitions are the nine gates of truth. Legend has it that if someone opens these nine doors of truth one day, they will regain their godlike power! ”
After finishing speaking, he looked at Li Jie, who had been frozen, with a smile and said, "How is it?" Listen silly, right? ”
Li Jie shook his head and said in horror: "God-like power! How's that going? ”
Zhang Lao Er laughed wildly and said: "Heaven and earth, omnipotent!" He patted Li Jie on the shoulder and said, "Boy! As far as I know, no one has ever found these nine truths since ancient times. You were able to discover the Gate of Truth when you first sensed your life energy, and you can only say that you are really a pervert! Even I have some doubts, how much potential do you have?! ”
Li Jie laughed to himself: "Then if I open these nine gates, wouldn't I no longer need to be afraid of that black yaoren?" ”
"Are you still afraid of them? Not to mention opening the Nine Paths, even if you open a few of them, those guys will avoid you! If one day all the nine gates are opened by you, the Black Glory Space will be easily destroyed by you! ”
Zhang Laoer's words were like thunder next to Li Jie's ears, so that the latter couldn't help but swallow his saliva. Immediately shaking his arms, he excitedly wanted to rush back to the futon immediately.
"So what am I waiting for? Now let's find another door! ”
Zhang Lao Er hurriedly grabbed the excited Li Jie and said solemnly: "Your performance last night is already a miracle." But your life energy has long been exhausted, otherwise you would not have been forced out. The most important thing for you now is to rest well and try again when your life can be restored. ”
Li Jie looked up at the mirror on the wall, and found that his face was pale and bloodless, knowing that it was a situation where life could be violently consumed. Consciously, it is also an extreme feeling of tiredness.
Looking down at my watch, it was already past 8 o'clock in the morning. There was a chirp in his abdomen, and Li Jie smiled awkwardly: "I am a little hungry when you say this." I'm here with you, so I'm supposed to take care of the food, right? ”
Zhang Lao Er shook his head amusedly, and led Li Jie to turn around and go downstairs. Seeing Zhang Lao Er shouting to a young maid in the living room, he said, "Xiaocui, is there any breakfast?" ”
Hearing Zhang Lao Er's greeting, Xiao Cui hurriedly ran over, glanced at Li Jie, and said respectfully: "There may be a little bit of food in the morning, I'll go and heat it up." ”
Li Jie didn't want to trouble the other party more, so he smiled: "I eat simply, just a little porridge or something." ”
"No way!" Zhang Lao Er suddenly said loudly: "Xiao Cui, don't heat up the leftovers." Remake something fresh and make something more nutritious. He's going to need to make up for it these days. ”
After thinking about it, Zhang Lao Er stopped Xiao Cui who was running to the kitchen again: "Stew the plates of blood swallows in my cabinet for him to make breakfast for the past few days." Well, by the way, I also stewed my ginseng and let him eat it at noon. ”
Xiao Cui was suddenly surprised: "Master, that is a thousand-year-old ginseng." You ......"
Although Zhang Lao Er was distressed, he also made a ruthless decision: "That's it, I'll look for some other supplements from tomorrow." ”
I had never seen the master attach so much importance to a person, Xiao Cui couldn't help but look at Li Jie in a daze.
"What are you still standing for, go get ready!" Zhang Lao Er waved his hand impatiently and urged him to leave.
Li Jie also scratched his head a little embarrassed and said: "You don't have to treat me like this, I'm afraid I can't digest these precious things." ”
"If you can't digest it, you have to stuff it into me!" Zhang Lao Er's eyes shone brightly and said, "You are now the only one who has touched the door before." Give me at least one ginseng every day from now on. Give me a good rest during the day to recharge my batteries. Keep opening the door for me in the evening. ”
This second child also has full expectations for Li Jie in his heart. The myths and legends that had been circulating since ancient times actually appeared in front of him, making him have an urgent urge to see if the person who opened the Nine Gates could really obtain god-like abilities like the legend.
took out a lot of treasures at once, and Zhang Lao Er was also a little painful. Wuzi rubbed his hands anxiously and said, "Don't say it." I'll have to hurry to the store and see if I can get a few more good quality supplements in the next few days...... If one day, you become a god, you have to remember my love today, and you have to pay it back! ”
"Of course, don't worry. If I ever had that day, I'd be sure to drown you with gold bars. Li Jie laughed unashamedly.
saw Zhang Lao Er leaving the door in a hurry. Li Jie sat on the sofa with a smile and saw Jing Ruohan sitting there quietly. There was also a plate of untouched snacks in front of her.
Ignoring the cold of the dim sum, he grabbed a piece and stuffed it into his mouth. In a blink of an eye, he saw Jing Ruohan staring at him, handed her a piece and said, "Have you eaten it in the morning?" Would you like to have a bite to eat? ”
Jing Ruohan shook his head. Just now, Zhang Lao Er was shouting what "Nine Gates" and what "becoming a god", she didn't understand it, and she didn't want to care. But after seeing Li Jie sitting beside him, he suddenly felt a burst of relief.
"When are we leaving?"
Hearing Jing Ruohan's question, Li Jie glanced up and estimated, "There may be a few more days." I've been trying to figure out how to improve my strength these days. Otherwise, it will be difficult to fight against the black-robed man after going out. Li Jie threw a piece of dim sum in his mouth, and found that the other party's eyes were blazing, as if he had something to hide. Then he asked, "Do you have something to do in a hurry?" After finishing speaking, she immediately laughed at herself, what else is there for Jing Ruohan to do today, two thousand years later?
Facing Li Jie, who had already swallowed the plate in front of him, he felt that Jing Ruohan beside him had a strange look. Curiously turned his eyes and found that the other party's body was writhing unconsciously, his legs were clamped, and his face was gradually flushed.
"What's wrong with you?" Li Jie stared at it and said with concern: "Are you feeling unwell?" ”
When Jing Ruohan heard this, her delicate face burned red. Raising his eyes to look at Xiao Cui, who was still moving in the kitchen, he bit his lower lip after hesitating for a few moments and said, "I want to ...... Toilet! ”
The sound was as small as a mosquito humming, and Li Jie didn't hear it clearly for a while. After getting closer to him in confusion, he asked, "What did you say?" Be louder. ”
Jing Ruohan's little face turned purple in shyness, and she glared at her hatefully. Immediately said delicately: "I want to ...... Toilet. ”
Li Jie still didn't understand, and glanced at Jing Ruohan's legs that were already crossed together, constantly rubbing back and forth. Suddenly realized: "Oh, you want to go to the toilet!" ”
Maybe it's because Li Jie's voice is loud, Jing Ruohan glared at each other fiercely with angry eyes. But he could only nod his head helplessly.
Only then did Li Jie react, no wonder the dim sum in front of Jing Ruohan didn't move at all. Dare to love is holding back the toilet all the time.
Quickly looked around, then pointed to the bathroom and said, "That's the toilet." You just go in. ”
Jing Ruohan quickly got up and walked, and suddenly froze after opening the door. Turning around, he forcibly endured his shyness and whispered, "You teach me." ”
"Oh, yes, yes. I forgot you wouldn't. Li Jie slapped his head and hurried over.
After leading Jing Ruohan into the toilet, he pointed to the toilet and taught: "After opening this lid, you will sit on it and go to the toilet." Well, press this flush after you are done. This is toilet paper and can be used to wipe ...... This is the faucet, and you can wash your hands when you turn it on. ”
At this time, the red glow on Jing Ruohan's face extended from his face to his neck, and even the roots of his ears burned red. After a little understanding, he immediately urged: "You go out." ”
Li Jie nodded hurriedly and went out as he said. Thinking of something again, he turned around and slammed the door open, and said, "There is a latch behind the door that can be closed...... Forehead! ”
Jing Ruohan, who was bending down to untie his pants, suddenly saw Li Jie's face sticking in again, and was stunned. Li Jie on the opposite side was also fixed, and his eyes unconsciously swept around Jing Ruohan's snow-white and mellow **** that was exposed in the air.
"Get me out!" Jing Ruohan suddenly screamed in shock. At the same time, he pointed out sharply, and a strong wind brushed the top of Li Jie's head. I heard a sudden sound, and a smooth and neat round hole appeared on the door frame in an instant.
Frightened, Li Jie quickly retracted his head and snapped the door of the bathroom with his backhand.
The frightened Li Jie sat back on the sofa in a panic. I saw that a bowl of snow-white bird's nest had been placed on the table, and it was steaming hot.
That Xiaocui found that Li Jie's face was nervous, and there was sweat on his forehead. Curiously asked, "Mr. Li, what's wrong with you?" ”
"Nothing." Li Jie picked up the bowl in his hand in disguise and pulled it into his mouth indiscriminately. Suddenly, he remembered something, looked up and asked, "Is there any bird's nest left?" ”
"Oh, there's still in the pot. Isn't it enough? I'll help you get some more. ”
"Get me another bowl, just put it there."
Xiao Cui nodded, and then brought another bowl from the kitchen and put it on the coffee table.
Looking around, only Xiao Cui was alone, Li Jie asked curiously, "What about the other servants?" Why are you left to do the work alone? ”
Xiao Cui smiled and wiped the sweat from her forehead. The little pink face was flushed, and it looked very cute. Said obediently: "Oh, they are all home from work." I will come back every day after lunch. ”
"Then if you don't go home, aren't your family worried?"
"My family is long dead." Xiao Cui smiled slightly with a complicated expression: "My parents died in a car accident when I was very young, and it was Master Zhang who adopted me back. Now this is my home. ”
"I really can't see that Zhang Lao Er still has such kindness." Li Jie sighed. In Li Jie's heart, he always thought that Zhang Lao Er was just a greedy man, but he never thought that he would actually do good deeds.
Xiao Cui retorted obviously unhappily: "Master Zhang is very good. I've never been scolded in the usual way. You don't know him, but people who know him know he's a great guy! ”
Li Jie pursed his lips and smiled. Hearing the sound of water splashing in the bathroom, he knew that Jing Ruohan was about to come out. Quickly put away his smile and sat up.
Xiao Cui glanced at the graceful figure in the bathroom, and asked curiously, "Is that young lady your girlfriend?" I saw that she waited in the living room all night yesterday, and she seems to be very concerned about you. She is so beautiful, Mr. Li is really blessed. ”
"Don't dare." Li Jie didn't care whether the other party understood it or not, and dropped such a plausible sentence.
After seeing Jing Ruo's cold face coming, Li Jie, who had palpitations, took the bowl to cover his face, and moved his body to the side vigilantly.
Jing Ruohan sat quietly beside Li Jie and didn't speak, but his face looked cold. After staying for a while, Li Jie pushed the bowl of bird's nest in front of her and said quickly, "This thing is very delicious." Eat some of it. ”
Jing Ruohan turned his head to look at him, so frightened that he hurriedly raised the bowl to cover it.
Listening to Suosuo's voice, Li Jie secretly saw Jing Ruohan picking up the bowl and eating it one bite at a time. I can't help but feel secretly relieved in my heart.
After eating breakfast, Jing Ruohan's face felt a lot warmer. After a long time, he didn't ask him about his teacher as Li Jie guessed.
As soon as Li Jie's mind relaxed after eating, he suddenly felt a sense of sleepiness coming, turned around and nested in the sofa, and fell asleep like this.
"Hey, ass." Li Jiewu in his sleep was talking to himself, as if he was thinking about something interesting, with a smile on his face.
Hearing this, Jing Ruohan's face turned red. When he raised his hand, he wanted to slash down, but his eyes flickered, and his palm never fell.
Suddenly getting up, Jing Ruohan walked to the window in the distance and was alone. puffed away from looking at this nasty guy......
