Chapter 12: The Wooden Man

The next day, I got up early, had breakfast, said goodbye to the village chief and got up to the Nine Heavens Tower.

The managers of each floor basically know all the children in the tower, after all, there are so many children in the tower to study, and after greeting the manager, they want to go straight to the seventh floor.

Get up and go to the door of the seventh floor, take a deep breath, and push open the door of the seventh floor.

What catches your eye is an empty platform, unlike the other floors, there is no such width as the previous floors that can put down the sea-like bookshelves, there is only room for the next platform, compared to the other floors, the seventh floor is indeed a bit small.

The platform is round and glows emerald green, as if it was polished from a single piece of jade.

The platform is more than two feet high, and when you climb up the stone steps from the side, you can see many intricate patterns carved on the surface of the platform, and there is a small circle in the center of the platform to accommodate a person to stand.

Immediately near the edge of the platform, nine wooden figures stand, standing, lying, or clenching their fists, around the center of the platform, leaving only the entrance of the stone steps.

Looking at these wooden people who emitted a golden glow, he stretched out his hand and knocked on them, and the wooden people made a sound that only metal could have, and it was very hard, far harder than all the wood he had ever seen.

I was a little surprised, thinking that this should be iron, how can I call it a wooden man?!So I touched it again, and it was indeed made of wood in terms of feel, but what kind of wood is this, and how is it harder than steel.

Looking around, I didn't know how to activate the wooden figures, and tentatively walked towards the circle in the middle.

As soon as the two feet stepped into the center of the circle, there was a shaking of the ground, and the wooden people around them slowly began to move.

The wooden man did not attack directly, but twisted his head and moved his body, just like a human, this scene is indescribably weird.

After about ten breaths, Qi was still looking at these strange wooden people in a daze, this is one of the wooden people turned its wooden face and nodded towards it, as if to call for preparation.

"Boom!" Before he could react, he was knocked off the platform by one of the wooden men, and he was stunned when he was lying on the ground, surprised by his carelessness and the strength of the stone man.

When they climbed up to the platform again, the wooden figures returned to the way they had seen them at the beginning, and they took a breath and walked towards the center circle.

There was another slight shaking, and the wooden man came to life, this time the wooden man did not move his joints, but bowed his head towards the starting point in unison, and attacked the starting point.

Grabbed the fist of one of the wooden people, and only then did he determine how powerful these wooden people were, no wonder he was knocked off the platform just now, he didn't dare to be careless, he dodged left and right, and hurriedly dodged, but the hero couldn't stand the crowd, and was knocked off the platform after a while.

Although you will be knocked off the platform every time, the longer you stay on the platform as time goes by, and sometimes the wooden people will not only knock you off the platform, but they will also leave various fist marks and palm prints on you.

In the process of these countless duels with the wooden people, he found that in fact, weapons can be used on the platform, which makes the process of dueling with the wooden people a lot easier, although he still can't escape the fate of being knocked off the platform, but this makes the "Broken City Halberd" method more and more sophisticated.

As he was knocked down on the platform more and more times, his heart was already full of anger, and the internal force that he had restrained from using was also used, and he didn't use the internal force for fear of breaking these wooden people, and now he had red eyes and was still in care of so much, and he lifted all his strength to slash at the wooden man in front of him with a halberd, just on the neck of the wooden man.

When it was too late to react, he didn't cut off the wooden man's head as expected, only to hear the sound of the bell The wooden man was split off the platform, and his heart was put down.

In the course of the continuous duel, it was also discovered that every time a wooden man was knocked off the platform, the other wooden people attacked more aggressively, which made it difficult for him to parry, and soon he would lie on the ground under the platform again.

Every day, I left the seventh floor exhausted, and the next day I opened the door of the seventh floor full of energy, and so on, and finally after a year of fighting with the wooden people, I was able to knock all the wooden people off the platform.

Looking at all the wooden people lying under the platform, he breathed a sigh of relief, and sat in the circle in the center of the platform like this, it was really difficult to hit all these wooden people, and at this time, there was a vibration on the ground.

"I won't come back!" grabbed the halberd and stared nervously at the wooden man lying under the platform.

The wooden man lying under the platform did not stand up as expected, and with the vibration, a door appeared on the wall behind the platform, which was exactly the same as the other floors, and with a "eight" carved on it.

Could it be that this is the entrance to the eighth floor that no one in the village has ever seen? It turned out that it was necessary to open the seventh floor to enter the eighth floor, no wonder the people in the village said that they had never seen the gates of the eighth and ninth floors, so did the gate of the ninth floor open the eighth floor before it appeared? I thought about it mentally.

After pondering for a while, he decided to open the door on the eighth floor and take a look, who knows if this door will appear every time he knocks down all the wooden people? Even if it does, it won't be so easy to bring down all the wooden people.

Opening the door of the seventh or eighth floor, there was no danger, there was no empty square, and it was completely different from the eighth floor imagined in Qi's mind.

The eighth floor is just a small room, and in the middle of the room is a table with a roll of bamboo slips on the table, and behind the table is a wooden door with the word "nine" written on it.

The door to the ninth floor is so easy to see? I can't believe what I'm going through. After glancing at the door of the ninth floor, he walked over and opened the bamboo slip, only to see that the bamboo slip was written in ancient characters: "Open the door of the ninth floor, and you will go to the place you really want to go in your heart." ”

Such a simple sentence is not so simple at first glance, he did not fall into deep thought, where do I really want to go?

After thinking about it for a long time, he didn't think of where he wanted to go, so he simply didn't want to, so he picked up the halberd and pushed the door, he also wanted to know where he wanted to go.

The moment I pushed the door open, there was a white light sprinting through the door, as if I saw an old fairy with crane hair and a childish face, is the place I really want to go to is fairyland? I asked myself.

"Up, why are you at home, have you passed the seventh floor?" The old fairy with a childish face in front of him asked him, and it seemed that this old fairy still knew himself.

After settling down, I saw that I was in my own home, and the old fairy with a childish face was none other than my village chief grandfather, and it turned out that the place I really wanted to go to was this home that raised me.

"Eh, grandpa, I passed, so I came back early." He replied hesitantly, he hadn't recovered from the strange events he had just passed.
