Old man! I've been standing here for almost an hour with such a handsome pot, and you just found out!

Li Qi was almost depressed when he saw the old man's surprised expression, but after all, he was an elder, and he still said very politely: "Old man, my name is Li Qi, and I am a human from the Huaxia Alliance. ”

"Huaxia Alliance?"

The old man knocked on the door of his head and muttered to himself, "Why does it sound familiar!" ”

Li Qi hurriedly said: "It was your Taisheng Qingshi of Lingzhou who invited me to come." ”

"Oh. I remembered, I remembered. The old man laughed a few times and said, "I remember that many days ago, the secretary did instruct me, saying that a human will come to our Lingzhou in a few days, presumably it will be you." ”

Aren't you talking nonsense? Li Qi smiled and nodded, and asked again: "I don't know ....... old man, you?" ”

"Oh, I'm guarding the gate." The old man said triumphantly.

"Guarding the gate?"

Li Qi was stunned.

The old man was slightly dissatisfied and said, "What? You look down on me, the gatekeeper? ”

"No, old man, you misunderstood me." Li Qi looked left and right and said, "It's just... It's just that I didn't notice that there was a gate around here! "I added in my heart that there was not even a road.

"The gate is on top." The old man pointed his hand into the air.

Li Qi looked up, and suddenly his face was shocked, only to see a long weeping willow hanging in the sky, stretching into the clouds, but... But I didn't see any willow trees around, and I said in my heart, where are these willow branches sticking out? Then he asked the old man, "Old man, you don't see the gate!" ”

"Aren't you a human with bad eyes, can't you see such a long willow branch?" The old man puffed out his eyes and admonished.

Is your old man a spirit clan, how can he not be polite, or is the spirit clan not all humble gentlemen like Taisheng, this gate guard is no different from us humans, no, it is lower than the quality of our human beings, and we human beings do not dare to be so arrogant in guarding the gate. Li Qi was a little unhappy in his heart, but he didn't care about this little thing, and said: "I saw the willow branch, but you are talking about the gate, is the willow branch the gate?" ”

"yes!"

The old man nodded and said, "This gate is called a willow gate, as long as you take a step forward and cross this willow branch, then it is our Lingzhou." ”

A willow gate? It seems that we humans and our spirit races are still very surprised by their understanding of the door. Li Qi nodded and said, "I see." But where did this willow branch come from, and why didn't I see the willow tree? ”

"Haha!"

When the old man heard this, he couldn't help laughing.

Li Qi was surprised: "I don't know what you're laughing at?" ”

"Laugh at you!" The old man pointed at Li Qi and said.

Damn, if I knew this was the case, I should have brought Cold Shadow and let Cold Shadow scare him. Li Qi asked, "I don't know what you are laughing at me?" ”

"I laugh at you, you came to the gate of our Lingzhou, and you didn't even figure out what our Lingzhou is. You say it's not funny, haha. ”

The old man laughed heartily.

But Li Qi really didn't think it was funny, and asked angrily and funny: "Then I don't know what Lingzhou is?" ”

"Yes......."

The old man suddenly stared at the two jars in Li Qi's hands and said, "What are you holding in your hands?" ”

"Oh, this is the wine produced by our Huaxia Alliance, and I am going to give it to your Spirit Lord." Li Qi replied truthfully.

"Wine?"

The old man looked shocked and said, "You dare to bring wine to our Lingzhou?" ”

Li Qi was stunned and said, "Is there anything wrong?" ”

"Of course not!" The old man frowned and said: "You don't know, this wine can be chaotic, now we are forbidden to drink in Lingzhou, if you bring wine into Lingzhou, you will be punished." ”

Your sister, Lao Tzu sells alcohol, you ban alcohol, can you still make friends! That's it, that's it, anyway, you spirit clan doesn't trade, and it doesn't matter if you don't want you as a customer. Li Qi said embarrassedly: "I don't know this, I know that your spirit clan doesn't kill and doesn't eat meat, but I didn't think that you can't drink." That... So what to do? ”

"Bring it! Bring! ”

The old man beckoned.

Li Qi involuntarily handed the two jars of wine to the old man.

The old man took the two jars of wine, opened the lid, sniffed it, and said, "Really... It's so fragrant... Ahem, ahem. The old man glanced at Li Qi and said, "Don't worry, I'll help you drink here, and then it will be fine." ”

Li Qi suddenly had a feeling of being jumped by an immortal, and wondered, "Didn't you say that you are forbidden to drink in Lingzhou?" ”

"Yes!"

The old man nodded and said, "But we are outside the door now, and if we drink outside the door, we will be fine, hehe, you don't need to thank me." ”

What thank you I am, you are clearly lying to me! Li Qi immediately stretched out his hand, and when he was about to return to drink, the old man quickly poured a sip of wine into his mouth, wiped his mouth, and looked at him curiously, and asked, "What are you doing?" ”

"I ......."

Li Qi has really seen shamelessness, I have never seen such shamelessness, struggling for a while, he slowly retracted his hand, his heart was very depressed, he originally brought pastries and wine, both hands were there, but now he has not entered the door, he has become empty-handed.

What an embarrassment!

That's it! That's it! Think of it as paying the toll! Anyway, when Taisheng went, he didn't bring me a gift. Li Qi sighed secretly, and said, "Old man, I wonder if Taisheng Qingshi has arranged for the Spirit Clan to come here to pick me up?" Or did you explain something? ”

The old man blinked, then fell into deep thought.

Li Qi said blankly: "What? ”

"It seems to have explained my ........"

The old man suddenly patted his head and said: "Yes, yes, yes, the secretary has explained, explained, the secretary has explained to me, let me wait for you here, if you come, I will lead you in, hey, you look at my memory, just such a thing, I have forgotten." ”

It turned out that you were waiting for me here for a long time, didn't I pay the toll in vain? Li Qi couldn't cry or laugh, and arched his hand: "Then it's bothering the old man." ”

"It's okay! It's okay! ”

The old man waved his hand, pointed to the opposite side of the chessboard and said, "You sit first, you sit first." ”

Li Qi was depressed by this old man, where did he still want to sit, and said, "Otherwise, let's talk while walking." ”

"I haven't finished drinking this wine, how can we go in, are you trying to harm me?" The old man raised his hand excitedly.

Li Qi said: "You can keep this wine and drink it slowly!" ”

"So where do I put it?" The old man looked left and right, and said, "Tell you, there are a lot of thieves here, if you let them steal and accidentally take them to Lingzhou, then I will also be punished, no, no, I must drink before I can go in." ”

What the hell is Taisheng doing, let such a funny old man come here to pick me up. Li Qi was depressed and wanted to go home, who rarely entered this gate.

The old man glanced at Li Qi, and said: "Li Qi, you sit down first, I'll tell you about our Lingzhou, you don't even know what Lingzhou is, you will go in later, you will make jokes." ”

These words made Li Qi a little interested, what is Lingzhou, this sentence was already a little difficult to understand, and the willow branches that stretched out from the clouds and mist also made him feel very curious, so he said: "Okay, then wait for you to finish drinking first." ”

So saying, he sat down.

"That's right!"

The old man laughed a few times, took another sip of wine, wiped his mouth and said, "This Lingzhou is ....... By the way, do you know how to play this game? ”

"No......."

As soon as Li Qi said a word, the old man continued: "I heard that this game of Go comes from you humans, you will definitely play it." ”

Li Qi wanted to say no, but now he had to change his words: "No... Not really. ”

The old man said: "That's a coincidence, I'm not very good at it, let's talk about it later." ”

That's your chess skills, and you're embarrassed to invite someone to talk? Your heart is really big! Li Qi thought to himself, anyway, he had to wait for him to finish drinking, so it was better to play a few games with him, and sent the Buddha to the west, nodded and said, "I hope the old man can let me have some." ”

"Yes, yes."

The old man nodded repeatedly.

Li Qi is the only one.

Suddenly, Li Qi's heart suddenly froze, and there was a feeling of being deceived, from the appearance of the white rabbit at the beginning, to its departure halfway, and to his own encounter with the old man, and the old man let himself notice the willow branch, aroused his curiosity, and took advantage of his mind on the willow branch, fooled himself to give him his wine, and then used the wine and willow branch to let himself sit down and play chess with him, this is obviously a routine.

Li Qi has played this kind of road many times, but he didn't expect that today he fell into the trap of this old man, but he was not angry, because he knew that if he was angry, the old man would definitely have tricks waiting for him behind him, and he would fall deeper and deeper.

This old man is not simple, he is definitely not looking at the door, I have to take it seriously. Li Qi calmed down and asked with a smile: "I don't know if the old man is in charge of the black first, or?" ”

The old man shook his white clothes and said, "I like white, you go first." ”

Li Qi's holding on to the black is a trick Tianyuan.

The old man was startled, stared at the chessboard and said, "You can still get down here!" ”

Li Qi said with a pure face: "Can't you go down here?" I'm not very good at it! ”

"It should be possible."

The old man was not sure, and thought for a long time before he landed on the side of the sunspot.

Li Qi put another one in the lower right corner, and asked casually: "Old man, where did this willow branch come from?" If this willow branch is the gate, is it... Do you spirits dwell in heaven? ”

The old man laughed and said, "We don't live in the sky, we live in the trees." ”

"In the trees?"

Li Qi was surprised.

He originally thought that the Spirit Race was a high-civilization race, and he must live in the house, but he didn't expect them to be so simple and live on a tree.

The old man asked, "Have you not heard of the Tree of the Earth?" ”

Li Qi shook his head.

The old man said: "Our Lingzhou is actually a tree, and this willow branch is from the tree of the earth, and it is also the westernmost point of the tree of the earth, so it is called a willow gate." ”

After that, he didn't respond for a long time, and when he looked up, he saw Li Qi stunned, and couldn't help but say, "What's wrong with you?" ”

Li Qi was stunned and said, "Grandpa, you... You say this whole spirit... Lingzhou is a tree? ”

The old man nodded and said, "That's right! ”

Li Qi looked up at the willow branch again, and suddenly sweated like rain, in fact, of course the royal family knew, but he had never asked, because how could he have thought that Lingzhou would be a big tree, and said, "Then I don't know how big this earth tree is?" ”

"How old?"

The old man scratched his head and said, "It's hard to say, because the branches and leaves are always changing. ”

Li Qi pondered for a moment, and then asked, "How many days does it take to walk from this willow gate to the trunk of the tree of the earth?" ”

The old man pointed to his old leg and said, "You said to walk with your legs?" ”

Li Qi nodded.

The old man shook his head and said, "I haven't walked through, I don't know." ”

Li Qi asked, "So where do you usually go?" ”

The old man said: "It depends on which deer or pony on the road is in a good mood, and it will take dozens of days to drive me there." ”
