I couldn't figure out what Wang Qiang was talking about, but before I could react, I let a group of officials of all sizes in Qingshi Town walk forward.

I was terrified, and said uneasily: "Wang Zhen, where are you taking me?" Wang Qiang said with a smile: "Avoid trouble, you can also get a lot of wealth." Xiaomo, although you are not our head now, in our minds, you are still the most suitable leader of our evacuation expedition, so you can take your brothers to explore the treasure together! ”

I struggled to stop and said unhappily, "Didn't you say that the people were in trouble? Why do you just want to go treasure hunting? If you don't make decisions with the people, you might as well go home and sell sweet potatoes! I don't want to go, go if you want to! ”

Wang Zhen grinned and said, "Xiaomo, we went to explore the treasure for the well-being of the people. You forget, I told you just now that to destroy that monster, only great wealth can defeat it. You say don't you? ”

The officials around me who I used to be familiar with quickly nodded when they heard this, and even claimed that they were. I don't understand how I could be in such a strange scene, how I could have encountered such an absurd scene. But I seem to know all the people around me, but I can't read their hearts, and I can't recognize whether what they say is true or false.

Looking at the chaotic crowd in front of me who were only trying to escape, thinking that my parents were also mixed in, maybe they were also terrified at the moment. I couldn't help but say, "Okay, let's hurry up and go forward, for the safety of the people, find that huge treasure to destroy the demonic beast." ”

Wang Qiang nodded and said, "Xiaomo, you see that there are two roads ahead, which one should we take?" I couldn't help but wonder in my heart, and blurted out: "Aren't they a large group of people on their way?" If we don't go that way, where can we go from there? ”

Wang Qiang stretched out his hand and said, "Xiaomo, look, there are street signs here!" Following his fingers, I saw that on the way for a large group of people to flee for their lives, there was a huge wooden sign with two big black characters written on it.

I said to Wang Qiang: "The situation is urgent, how can you care about the name of his road, let's catch up with them quickly!" ”

Wang Qiang grinned and said, "Xiaomo, there are so many people on this road, and I don't know when it will come to an end." How can we, who are officials, be as knowledgeable as these people? If we want to play the role of a leader, we must take a shortcut, find that treasure as soon as possible, and save the people from fire and water! ”

I don't know if what he said is correct, but I vaguely feel that there is some truth. After being stunned for a moment, I asked suspiciously, "Wang Zhen, is there any shortcut to that treasure?" Why can't I see it? ”

Wang Zhen said happily: "Xiaomo, what do you think it is?" ”

I looked at his finger in confusion, and opened my mouth wide in surprise, unable to utter a word. It's really alive and hell, just now in front of the flat road, there was a high mountain, what is even more amazing is that there is a golden stone step on the high mountain, and there is a mountain gate at the foot of the mountain, and the mountain gate plaque is written with two golden characters 'official road'.

Seeing me there, Wang Qiang urged: "Xiaomo, what are you waiting for? This official path is for us to be officials! It's like climbing a mountain, but you have to climb high to see far. By following this path, we can see everything about the people, and we can always know what they are doing. What's even more rare is that there are far fewer people on our road than on the people's road, and we don't have to work as hard as they do. Climb over this mountain to reach the treasure on the other side of the mountain. Look at how big the mountain is, and the people will go around it, and when they arrive, we will have the treasure in hand. ”

Although I vaguely felt that something was wrong in my heart, as if I was enchanted, I involuntarily followed the group of officials, walked into the mountain gate, and embarked on that official road.

It didn't take long for me to find myself in a very high position as I ascended the stone steps. I stopped there to catch my breath, looking at the crowded crowd on the folk road below the mountain, and then I felt that Wang Qiang was right, walking on the official road, he did have a sense of superiority that the people could not feel.

Just as I was resting my strength and was about to continue climbing, I suddenly felt a scream behind me. I was astonished to find that a dozen of the dozens of people I was traveling with me were wielding machetes and cutting down mercilessly many people whom I did not know but who were trying to climb the official career, all of whom had broken hands and arms, covered in blood, and wailed and rolled down from their official careers.

I was horrified and exclaimed, "What do you want to do? Why don't you stop yet? But those people ignored me and continued to fiercely slash and kill groups of people who were desperate to climb the official path.

Wang Qiang said disdainfully beside me: "Xiaomo, don't be too soft-hearted, kindness to the enemy is cruelty to yourself!" ”

I wondered, "I don't know these people, how can I say that they are my enemies?" ”

Wang Qiang said: "Xiaomo, look at it, what does this mountain with an official career look like?" When I looked at his fingers, I was surprised to find that the mountain had not taken root, but had been erected on the heads of many people running along the road.

This strange scene puzzled me, and Wang Qiang explained: "What is an official? That is the one who rules over the people. Our Guanshan, it is precisely because of so many people's burdens that it will rise to the sky. The people are the foundation of Guanshan, and it is impossible for it to withstand such a great pressure without limit! Look at those people, desperately trying to climb up Guanshan, if you don't hit those people, they will rush up, this Guanshan can't bear it, we all have to fall down. ”

Hearing that Wang Zhen told the truth of officialdom about such an official mountain, I stopped speaking out. I admit in my heart that he wasn't right. Officialdom is sinister, and many people want to move up, not by their own ability, but by suppressing others, so that they can stand in a high position.

I wanted to go down this official path, but I was afraid that I would be slashed like these people when I went down the mountain, and I was even more afraid that I would become a member of the civil road, supporting such a heavy mountain with my shoulders and head.

Sure enough, I am in the rivers and lakes, and I can't help it, and when I get to this place, since I have already embarked on an official career, it can be said that there are many reasons that I can't do, so I can only go with the flow and mix in this official career that looks golden but has an unreliable foundation.

The men climbed up and slashed at the crowd below. Later, they looked exhausted, and simply began to set fire to the plank road on the official road. Every time a section of the plank road is burned, this official mountain will be detached, and at the same time as the base below sinks, the official mountain above rises again.

It's just that the more you get to the top, the more dangerous the plank road on the official road is. In many places, they stood at an angle of almost 90 degrees, and if they wanted to continue climbing, they had to do everything they could, gritting their teeth and trying their best to climb up with their hands and feet.

I don't know how many dangers and tears we went through, but the dozen or so people we left behind finally arrived at a large platform close to the top of the mountain. On that platform, there was a row of golden rooms, and a wooden ladder resting on the rock wall. The end of the ladder was hidden in the mist, and it seemed that we had reached the top of the mountain. Just climb that ladder and you can climb over the top of the mountain to the other side of the mountain and get the great treasure.

It's just that the platform on the top of the mountain is so beautiful, the auspicious clouds are swirling, and it is full of strange flowers and treasures, especially the golden and brilliant rooms, which makes our hearts full of fascination.

Looking through the clouds that open and close, looking at the bustling crowd at the foot of the mountain, everyone breathed a sigh of relief. Wang Qiang smiled and said, "Everyone is tired, right?" Anyway, we have reached the top of the mountain, and we are only missing a ladder at the back. Let's take a rest here, and tomorrow we can climb the ladder and get the treasure behind the mountain! ”

Everyone cheered in unison, and when they were leaving, Wang Qiang said again: "Brothers, I'm not wrong, right? As long as you follow the Xiaomo brothers, the brothers will be able to eat and drink spicy food. The blind fortune teller said that there was a secret hidden at the top of the mountain, which was related to whether we could climb over the top of the mountain and descend the mountain safely. ”

Everyone happily agreed, Wang Qiang winked at me, and said mysteriously: "Brother Xiaomo, let them play, you and I live in the same room today, I have something to say to you." ”

Although I had doubts in my heart, I didn't dare to refuse Wang Qiang's kindness. In this weird and terrifying environment, I know very well in my heart that although I am their nominal leader, it is Wang Qiang who actually controls all this.

It's just strange to me that after I lived in the same room with Wang Qiang, no matter how much I urged, he never told me what he wanted to tell me.

The next morning, I opened my eyes and woke up Wang Qiang, and was about to set off when I suddenly heard the sound of people screaming outside. Wang Qiang and I hurriedly rushed out of the door and were surprised to find that one of the dozen or so people who had finally followed us up the mountain had died. The man was lying upright on the ground, but with a mysterious smile on his face.

Everyone watched around that person for a long time, and Wang Qiang sighed and said, "He may have obtained the secret of this mountaintop, but he wanted to swallow it alone, so he suffered from heaven." I remember that the blind fortune teller said that the secret of this mountaintop was recorded in a small book that was already psychic. Anyone who offends the gods will be punished direly. ”

Everyone looked frightened when they heard this, and Wang Qiang comforted everyone: "Brothers, don't be afraid, we have persevered together to reach the current position, don't fall short." Let's go our separate ways to find the notepad, and we must find the secret on it so that we can fulfill our wishes. ”

As a last resort, everyone stayed on the top of the mountain for another night. Unexpectedly, as soon as I got up the next day, I died again.
