"Yes, I really let you pass."

In Li You's ears, the old voice sounded again, Li You felt that his eyes flickered, and when he came back to his senses, it was already dark in front of him.

Li You bit his finger and wiped the blood on the ring ruler in his hand, and the ring ruler immediately emitted a dazzling brilliance. Li You raised the ring ruler and looked around, and found that he was still standing on a staircase, and not far behind him, a person was lying.

"Miao'er?" After some tempering, Li You's trust in Wang Miao has deepened, and he is naturally full of joy to see him at this time.

Wang Miao seemed to hear Li You's call, slowly raised his head, and when he saw Li You in front of him, he immediately pounced, and Li You was not polite, and directly hugged Wang Miao in his arms.

"Childe, when I saw you fall into the tomb, I thought you were dead." Wang Miao couldn't cry. "And how did you get in?" Li You let go of Wang Miao and looked at him curiously.

"I was worried about your safety, so I jumped in." Although it was a few simple words, Li You's heart was full of emotion.

Prosperity makes friends, adversity tries them!

"Li You, come on, I've been waiting for the teacher for too long." At this time, the old man's voice sounded again.

"Teacher Gaotao, student, will be here soon!"

Li You raised the ring ruler in his hand and walked along the stairs, and after walking for about five minutes, he came to a door. There is nothing special about this door, except that there is a statue the size of a scalper standing next to the door. This statue looks like a unicorn, with a dragon's head, horseshoe, and oxtail, but it is covered in black hair, with horns on the top of its head, and a pair of eyes as bright as mirrors, like a living creature.

"Divine Beast Hedgehog!" Li You has admired Gaotao since he was a child, and he is naturally familiar with the divine beasts around him. According to legend, the mythical beast is a symbol of justice by understanding human speech, knowing human nature, distinguishing right from wrong, knowing good and evil, loyalty and treachery. Li You stopped in front of the statue and couldn't help but reach out and touch the statue's neck.

Ahh

Suddenly, the statue turned its head and took a bite at Li You's hand. Oops! Li You exclaimed, and blood immediately flowed out. This beast is still alive!

However, after biting Li You's hand, the pig immediately let go, and quickly retreated, squatted with his front hooves, arched his hind legs, and lowered his head at Li You, obviously apologizing to Li You.

"Haha, hedgehog, hedgehog, you bite not only innocent people, but also rare loyal people, it seems that you have really moved your heart. That's good! That's good! Gaotao's voice came from the front. When Li You heard this, he couldn't help but feel excited. If there can be a pig to help, then in this world, there are still cases that cannot be solved!

"Li You, come in quickly." Gao Tao urged. "You have been in this tomb for more than a month, although the old man has dreamed of your mother, but if you delay it any longer, maybe the things in this experience will really be unavoidable."

It's been more than a month? Things can't be avoided in the experience? Aren't these experiences illusions? What can't be avoided? Could it be that my mother would really be killed? Gao Tao's words contained too much information, which Li You couldn't digest for a while.

"Teacher, you..." "No need to ask, everything will be clear when you go out." Li You just wanted to ask further, but was interrupted by Gao Tao. Li You didn't dare to delay any longer, and walked straight to the door.

………

After entering the door, his eyes suddenly brightened, and Li You had to squint his eyes and get used to it for a while before he could see everything in front of him.

The place where Li You is located should be the burial chamber where Gaotao's body is located. The walls around the burial chamber are densely carved with words, and a sarcophagus is placed in the center, and above the sarcophagus, a virtual image of an old man floats. When Li You saw it, he immediately knelt on the ground. "Student Li You, knock on the teacher!"

"Get up." Gao Tao looked at Li You with a smile. "Li You, after this experience, what do you think?" Li You understood that this was Gaotao inspecting himself.

"The Endless Staircase is a sharpening of the student's mind." Li You looked calm. "When deciding a case, no matter what the situation is, you must remain calm, panic will lead to a loss of reason, and you will inevitably make wrong decisions."

"Secondly, misjudgment can lead to serious consequences." Li You once again remembered the experience of falling from the stairs and the scene of Liu Niang being killed. "Especially in the process of solving a case, a wrong decision is likely to lead to irreparable results."

"In the end, it's the details that solve the mystery." The more Li You said, the clearer his thinking became. "It is impossible for anything man-made not to leave traces, and only by finding these traces can it be possible to restore the original face of the facts."

"What did the experience of the labyrinth tell you?" After hearing this, Gao Tao did not make any evaluation, but continued to ask Li You.

"Eliminate interference and make independent judgments." Li You thought for a while, and then continued to answer. "Little Girl, Orion, Wang Lang, and Yao Buwei, these four people allude to the four types of parties in the case, representing the weak, the strong, the powerful and the rich. In the process of solving the case, these parties will use everything they have to induce or force themselves to think about the problem according to their thinking, and finally, come to a judgment in their favor. Therefore, as an adjudicator, you should exclude the interference of the parties and make independent judgments based on the facts ascertained by yourself. ”

"Well, that's good! The rest, you can slowly understand it in the future. Gao Tao listened and smiled with satisfaction. Li You, you must keep the next thing in mind, and don't say that anyone else knows about it! Gao Tao showed a solemn look, which made Li You's heart tense. What is so important, so that Gaotao, who is an ancient sage, is so cautious.

"The Tang Dynasty of the Li family, the number of qi is about to run out!" Gao Tao said while paying attention to Li You's expression.

"That's exactly what happened!" Hearing this, Li You was not too surprised. Although Li You is a relative of the Li family, he is a marginal branch, and he has not experienced the glorious period of the Tang Dynasty, and he has the impression that the Tang Dynasty only has the luxury of the aristocracy, the eunuch party is rampant, the officials are corrupt, and the people are hungry. Subconsciously, Li You has always felt that such a dynasty should be about to perish.

"Today's Li Tang Dynasty, the feudal towns are divided, the eunuchs are in power, the taxes are heavy, and the people are not able to make a living." Gao Tao paused again when he said this, waiting for Li You's reaction. "What the teacher said is very true." After a moment, Li You sighed.

The corruption of the imperial court, Li You has long been deeply aware of it. Nowadays, the feudal towns are divided, and the local festivals make the troops self-respecting, and the imperial court is privately set up, and the emperor has long lost control of many places, and the people only know that there are festivals, and they don't know that there is long live the dynasty. Moreover, the people are deeply resentful, peasant uprisings occur from time to time, coupled with foreign invasions, the Tang Dynasty's qi should have been exhausted.

"The change of dynasties and the change of dynasties are the inevitable development of the times." Gao Tao saw that Li You agreed with his point of view, so he continued to add. "Xia Shang Western Zhou, Qin, Han, Jin and Sui, it is better than that. This is an immutable law! When Li You heard this, he couldn't help but nod again. Li Tangzun the old man as his ancestor, and the old man did not want to see his decline. However, the people's will has been lost, the general trend has gone, and perverse actions will only hinder the development of mankind and become sinners through the ages who will harm future generations. ”

"Teacher, the student has understood." Li You looked at Gaotao. "It's just that the student is only the county commander of a county, and he is humble, and he really can't do anything about the changes in this dynasty."

"The demise of the Tang Dynasty was inevitable, and it was only necessary to conform to the development of history and let it go. But... Ay! Gao Tao couldn't help but sigh. In the demon world, there is a great demon who is against the sky, and he is very good at demagoguery. Now, for some reason, she has manipulated people's hearts even though a group of subordinates are trying to distort the course of history and prevent the fall of the Tang Dynasty. ”

Hearing this, Li You remembered the scene in the lobby that day. "The black shadow attached to Zhao Wu's body, is it this big demon's subordinate?" "Not bad!" Gao Tao nodded in affirmative. "Because this big demon only controls people's hearts, and does not directly kill people, we can't help her. Therefore, the task of stopping her can only fall to you who are alive. ”

I see! Hearing this, Li You had already understood his mission. "But teacher, the other party is a demon, and the student is just an ordinary person, and he has no ability to subdue demons and eliminate demons." Li You remembered his helplessness in the face of the dark shadow, so he had to turn to Gaotao for help. When Gao Tao heard this, he stretched out his hand and pointed to Li You's chest, and the ring ruler on his chest immediately flew out and floated in front of Gao Tao.

"The name of this thing is called the Measuring Ruler, and it is an ancient artifact. Although she can't fight against the big demon now, it is not difficult to subdue her men. After Gao Tao finished speaking, he returned the measuring ruler to Li You, and Li You immediately held it in his hand. Now that it has drunk your blood, it has communicated with your heart, and when you encounter demons, you only need to drive your mind to kill demons for you! ”

Li You couldn't help but be overjoyed when he heard this. This ring ruler turned out to be an ancient artifact, no wonder it easily defeated that black shadow. "Moreover, the power of the measuring ruler has not been fully recovered, and when you kill enough demons and demons, and the measuring ruler returns to its original appearance, the big demon will no longer be your opponent."

"Thank you for your advice!" Li You followed the method taught by Gao Tao, and drove the measuring ruler through his mind, and the measuring ruler immediately returned to his chest according to Li You's instructions. "However, this measuring ruler is only effective for demons, if you encounter bandits and bullies, you are worried that you will not be able to protect your own safety." After Gao Tao finished speaking, he pointed out the door, and Wang Miao and the badger walked in together.

"The pig deliberately drank your blood, which means that its heart has moved." After Gao Tao finished speaking, he looked at the pig, and the pig showed a twisted state. "At this moment, you are embarrassed. Well, Li You also needs someone to protect him, and it just so happens that he has another loyal servant by his side, so you will possess this loyal servant and protect Li You at all times. After Gao Tao finished speaking, he stretched out his hand and pointed at the hedgehog, which immediately turned into a white light and entered Wang Miao's body.

Previously, Wang Miao had been in a sleepwalking state, and after the white light entered his body, his eyes immediately became clear, his spirit was flying, and his body seemed to have inexhaustible strength. "Childe, what's wrong with me?" Wang Miao should have felt the change in herself, and looked at her hands incredibly.

"Wang Miao, the old man feels your loyalty, so that the hedgehog beast is placed in your body, and now you have the courage of ten thousand people." When Wang Miao heard this, he was immediately overjoyed, and Gao Tao saw it in his eyes and immediately warned him. "However, the nature of the beast is fair, you must not do anything that violates justice, otherwise, the pig will not forgive you." "Wang Miao remembers the teacher's teachings!" Wang Miao hurriedly knelt down and thanked him.

"Li You, you have such a heavy responsibility, and your future life will definitely be full of ruggedness. But those of us who believe in the law should have justice as our faith in life. Gao Tao looked up at the sky after speaking, as if he was recalling his past experiences. In ancient times, human beings and demons coexisted in the world, but after thousands of years of baptism, now, only I am the human race, and there are very few other demons. Li You, do you know why? ”

"The student is stupid, and he asks the teacher to teach him." Although Li You also has his own opinions, it is rare to have the opportunity to listen to the teachings of the ancient sages, so he naturally wants to listen to Gaotao's opinions.

"The world is for the public!"

When Li You heard this, he suddenly felt enlightened. Yes! No matter how corrupt the dynasty is, no matter how unbearable the world is, justice is at ease in the hearts of the people, even if the just person is excluded, he will be loved by the world, and even if the traitor villain is ranked as the minister, he will only be scolded by the world. "After the teacher's teachings, the students will be enlightened, and in the future, they will uphold the way of the world for the public, eradicate the demons and demons that deceive people's hearts, and live up to the teacher's trust."

"In this way, I can rest assured as a teacher." After Gao Tao finished speaking, he smiled with relief again. "Li You, after you get out of here, you must go home quickly. It's too late, your mother, and I'm afraid something will happen to you. After Gaotao finished speaking, he waved his hands to Li You and Wang Miao, and the two only felt that their eyes were shaking, and when they came back to their senses, they had already come to the tombstone of Gaotao's tomb.

Li You sighed in his heart, but remembering what Gao Tao said when he was leaving, he immediately bowed deeply to Gao Tao's tomb, and rushed to the mansion.

It's really like Gaotao's words!

If Li You was half a minute late, Li Tian's life would really not be saved.
