What was the greatest dream of the ancients? Or what is the dream that mankind has always dreamed of?

That is, to be able to fly freely in the sky like a bird, which is the dream that human beings have been striving for all their lives since ancient times.

And Cui Ling's bet is to fly, of course, in order to show his Cui family's character of convincing people with virtue. People would not say it so bluntly, according to Cui Ling's meaning, Qin Ze would be able to take down a piece of bluestone at the top of the Black Remnant Tower within three days.

The Black Remnant Pagoda is located in Xinchangfang, east of Chang'an, which is said to have been built in the second year of Emperor Xuanwu of the Northern Wei Dynasty, and was originally a Buddhist tower. It's just that less than twenty years after it was built, it was burned down. Now it has been deserted for a long time, and no one dares to approach it again.

The original name of this black remnant tower was called Luyue Tower, which is a brick tower with a masonry structure. The bottom end of the tower body is a plane equilateral dodecagonal, and the central tower chamber is a regular octagonal shape, and the height also has 12 floors. In total, it is ten stories high, which can be regarded as a tall tower.

And the reason why it is called the Black Remnant Tower is because of the fire, which burned it to a pulp. The two-story tower at the top is even more ruined, as if it is about to collapse.

And there is a mythical legend about this fire.

Legend has it that there was a little monk in this tower at that time, and one day he was in charge of cleaning the top tower, and suddenly he found that he could take off and fly. The little monk immediately felt that this was his own great opportunity, thinking that this was enlightened by the Buddha and wanted to make himself a Buddha in the flesh, so he would come to this tower every day in the future.

And as time passed, the little monk found himself soaring higher and higher, and was almost able to reach the top of the tower. At this time, the little monk thought of his master, and when he thought that he was about to fly away, he couldn't help but feel a little reluctant in his heart. I thought about telling my master.

When the old monk heard this, he was also shocked. At the moment, he let the little monk take off in front of him once, but the little monk tried his best, but he couldn't take off an inch after all.

At this time, the old monk sensed that something was wrong, and asked the little monk to take him to the top tower. Here the little monk sat down cross-legged again, and sure enough, he quickly rose into the air.

And it's getting taller and higher, and it's about to touch the top of the tower. The old monk suddenly discovered that something was wrong, and saw that on the roof of the top of the tower, there was a black python coiled. At this time, he was opening his mouth wide and preparing to swallow the little monk.

At that moment, the old monk also understood, where is the little monk who wants to ascend, it is clear that this black python wants to eat people.

Immediately shouted: "Black python." ”

But it was also this loud shout that made the black python startled. He couldn't continue to inhale, so that the little monk escaped.

But he didn't want this old monk to completely anger the black python, so he flew down from the roof without saying a word and swallowed him in one bite.

And the old monk tried his best to push the little monk away, which allowed the little monk to escape. Since then, there have been monks missing from this Luyue Tower. Although the new presiding officer finally sealed the top tower, the disappearance is still happening.

In the end, everyone was helpless, so they could only surround the entire Luyue Pagoda and burn it. It is rumored that within a hundred miles that day, you could hear the screams of black pythons and the sound of monks chanting.

Since then, the Luyue Tower has been completely abandoned. After the fire, there were only a few dangerous walls left on the upper two floors.

It's just that there are rumors that the black python was burned alive in the fire, and it was unwilling, and finally attached to a blue brick on the top floor. And this time, Cui Ling's request was to ask Qin Ze to take down the green brick.

The reason why this request is to let Qin Ze fly up is that the entire Black Remnant Tower is already a dangerous tower, and no one has dared to approach it for a long time. There is no road to the top layer, and if you want to get the green brick, you can only fly to the sky to get it.

Seeing this bet, Qin Ze was also stunned for a long time, because for three days, he specially went to see the black remnant tower. I wondered if I could enter it by other means, but I found that the tower gate below had been completely sealed.

Moreover, the monks of Wuxian Temple also re-enclosed a high wall in the three zhang area around it. And rebuilt a altar, and there are believers who come here to burn incense and bow down on weekdays.

Therefore, it is impossible for Qin Ze to go up at the beginning. There is one of the simplest and most crude methods, which is to dismantle this thing directly, but not to say that the monks do not allow it, it is far from enough time.

Therefore, this flying up became the only way, and the blue brick was still in the center of the tower, and it was also embedded in it. It is said that this green brick will glow every night, and some people can even faintly hear the roar of a black python.

When Qin Ze was still thinking about how to get on this black remnant tower, the bet between the two of them was also completely spread throughout Chang'an.

Almost overnight, people were discussing this matter between restaurants and tea houses. Even the aggregate building is now full of people, and the four absolute on the roof have become the focus of everyone's talk.

Qin Ze and Cui Ling's gambling contract naturally became the talk of these people after dinner.

In the end, even Cheng Lao Demon heard about it, and according to him, the chapter that was now suing Qin Ze had been piled up more than a foot high. It's not that he insulted Sven, or that he deliberately incited the people, it can be said that there is nothing that Qin Ze can't find, only what they can't think of.

The group of officials led by the Cui family, one by one, were also like being beaten with chicken blood, and they would join Qin Ze if they had nothing to do. This is also to blame Qin Ze, who let him ruthlessly defeat the Cui family's face on the aggregation building, but because Qin Ze relied on his true talent and learning, they could only find other excuses to sue Qin Ze.

But among these crimes, any one of them instigating beggars and inciting the people's hearts is not something Qin Ze can bear. And Li Er's attitude was very clear, and he directly asked Cheng Laoyou to tell Qin Ze that if he messed up this time, he would be exiled. And whichever bird doesn't, it will be exiled wherever it is.

And if he wins, although he doesn't say it explicitly, but looking at Cheng Laoyou's appearance, as long as he can win, this matter will be over.

In fact, Qin Ze understands it in his heart, and the Cui family also understands it. Now the real confrontation is not against his little Qin Ze, but Li Er behind Qin Ze. Without Li Er's signal, Qin Ze would not dare to do such a desperate thing.

The Cui family also knows about this, so this time the gambling contract has become a game between Li Er and the Cui family. Li Er wanted to use this incident to give the Cui family a disgrace and make them realize their identity.

And the Cui family didn't want to show their status through this matter. So this time Qin Ze can't lose, if Qin Ze loses, Li Er will definitely exile him for thousands of miles without mercy. If you are in a good mood, you may be recalled again, and if you are in a bad mood, it is estimated that Datang will have nothing to do with Qin Ze.

So from the very beginning, this gambling contract was overshadowed by politics, and soon Qin Ze was summoned into the Lizheng Palace.

When Qin Ze came, Li Er was reviewing the chapters. Still didn't see the eldest grandson queen, which made Qin Ze a little disappointed, he had always wanted to see this eternal queen with his own eyes, but obviously he didn't have this opportunity.

Li Er also ignored Qin Ze, this is also his usual method, as long as Qin Ze did something wrong and entered this Li Zheng Hall. Li Er first asked Qin Ze to bow a pillar of incense, and then let him get up when he felt that he was in a better mood.

This is still the case today, and since entering this Lizheng Hall, Qin Ze has found that today's atmosphere is very wrong.

Li Er didn't look at himself from beginning to end, which made Qin Ze start muttering in his heart, he couldn't figure out what this meant, so he could only stand there obediently.

Li Er was indeed a little unhappy in his heart, the last time Song Wenzheng was in the incident, he believed that Qin Ze had seen what he meant. didn't expect Qin Ze to make this matter so big in a blink of an eye, and made such a bet.

Go pick the green bricks of Luyue Tower, is that thing so easy to pick? Ever since he heard about this bet, Li Er began to think about it, but found that he had no way at all.

Li Er didn't dare to be too big, he was really afraid of Qin Ze, this kid, he couldn't stand it and ran away like this. It doesn't matter if he runs away, he won't be able to save face. That's why he called Qin Ze over, just to see if he had a way.

It was almost over, so he slowly put down the piece in his hand and said a salute to Qin Ze, which made Qin Ze stand up.

"Do you know the green bricks of the Luyue Tower?" Although Li Er's face was calm, Qin Ze could still sense the patience in his tone.

Qin Ze nodded, signaling that he knew.

Li Er saw Qin Ze's attitude, and he frowned at the moment. It was Qin Ze's disapproving performance that made him very dissatisfied.

"And do you know what's at stake?" Li Er still asked unhurriedly.

Qin Ze nodded again, indicating that he understood the meaning.

Seeing that Qin Ze was still so unimpressed, Li Er couldn't help it at the moment, raised his eyes to look at Qin Ze, and said softly: "Then why can't I see how much you care?" ”

"Your Majesty, the kid went to see the Luyue Tower early this morning, how could he not care?" Qin Ze's words were true, he had indeed gone to see them.

"Then why can't I see any concern on your part?" The corners of Li Er's mouth twitched slightly, and he forcibly asked.

At this time, Qin Ze also understood what Li Er meant, and knew that he was worried that he would lose this bet, so he wanted to put pressure on himself. This guy was a little dissatisfied when he saw that he was so calm.

However, this really didn't require Qin Ze to worry too much, because he had already figured out a way to go up to Luyue Tower.

"Back to Your Majesty, in fact, the kid already has a way." Qin Ze replied respectfully.

"Do you have a solution?" Li Er was also stunned when he heard Qin Ze's words, and opened his mouth to ask.

He thought about it for a few hours, but he didn't have a clue. Now that he suddenly heard Qin Ze say that he had a way, how could he not make Li Er feel a deep frustration.
