Chapter 1179: The Gate of Reincarnation
The bronze gate that Soya chose, the gatekeeper is the same as Bigg, a sword cultivator, and his strength is indeed quite extraordinary.
After getting the challenge spot, Bigg fought with the goalkeeper for more than an hour before defeating the opponent and stepping through the bronze gate.
The people of the Guding Pirate Regiment and Soya crushed the jade cocoon and gave up the assessment of this level.
At this point, there are only five people who have entered the fifth level.
They are Gooding, Bigg, Elsa, Andrena, and Cord Bullard.
As soon as Gooding stepped through the gate, he found himself at the foot of a small hill.
The mountain was not high, only a few hundred meters to the eye, and the mountain forest was lush and full of dense trees, only not far in front of Guding, there was a winding staircase path.
The stepped path was only about a meter wide, all made of ancient cyan stones, and the path was not straight, it was zigzag, as if it had been built entirely by hand.
Gooding looked towards the end of the path, and at the end of the stairs, there was a wooden door.
It was a wooden door that looked very ordinary, not even a Heavenly Dao secret pattern, and Gu Ding could clearly see the traces left by the years on the wooden door.
Just as Gooding was observing the wooden door, in the sky, the female voice sounded again.
"I didn't expect that someone would be so unlucky that they chose the gate of reincarnation......"
"The Gate of Reincarnation? What is it? Gooding couldn't help but raise his eyebrows when he heard the prompt.
"The last level of the road to the king is to test the mind. Most of these twelve bronze gates are based on the firmness of the mind. Only this door of reincarnation is different...... The gate of reincarnation is a test of people's hearts. It's not just a test of the mind, but also a lot of other things. ”
"According to the normal situation, I shouldn't have come out to tell you assessors the rules at this fifth level. Because, as long as everyone walks through the 3,000 steps of the assessment, they will pass the assessment. It's just that the door you chose is different from the others. ”
"The gate of reincarnation, every step you take, you will be reincarnated. If you do something contrary to your heart in samsara, you will fail the assessment and will be automatically teleported. There are 3,000 steps in this reincarnation, and there are more than 20 strong people who have stepped into the gate of reincarnation before, and none of them can pass through the 100 steps. The door you chose is the most difficult road in the road of kings, and there is no one. ”
After the prompt sound, he paused and asked, "Hearing this, do you regret choosing this door a little?" ”
"There's nothing to regret, since you have chosen, you must go on." Gooding replied without thinking.
"Well, I've said everything I need to say. In fact, there are no rules for this fifth level. The only rule is that you can only step one step at a time. But this is not a rule, because even if you examiners want to take two or three steps at a time, you can't do it, and the part that exceeds one step is completely blocked by the rules. All you need to do is climb the 3,000 steps, push open the door at the top of the mountain, and pass the test. ”
After listening to the last piece of information given by the prompt, Gooding took a deep breath and stepped up the first step.
As soon as one of his feet stepped on the first step, his whole person seemed to be transformed into a sculpture in an instant......
The sound of the chime sounded again, but Gooding couldn't hear it anymore.
"This kid didn't know that from the moment he stepped through this door, the assessment had already begun. Just now after listening to my description of this gate of reincarnation, if there is the slightest hesitation and regret, he will be directly teleported out. More than half of the people who stepped into this door were eliminated without stepping on the steps. However, choosing this most difficult door of reincarnation is indeed weak enough. I can only wish you the best of luck, young ......"
Gooding didn't know what was said behind the tone, because the moment he stepped on the steps, he arrived in another world.
"It's so cold......"
Gooding looked at the snowflakes falling from the sky and couldn't help but shudder.
Looking down at his hands, he had become a child, estimated to be only five or six years old.
I looked at my clothes, they were thin and shabby, and I couldn't resist the chill brought by the ice and snow at all.
At this moment, the whole person was huddled under the debris of a broken wall, hiding from the ice and snow.
"Judging from the current situation, I should be reincarnated as a wandering orphan." Gu Ding checked the condition of his body, "Cultivation has completely disappeared, this body is too weak, and the body can't bear this cold at all." In this kind of weather, if I don't find a place where I can keep warm, I guess I will freeze to death by the time the temperature is at its lowest at midnight......"
Aware of this situation, Gooding looked around.
The area I am in seems to be a slum. The surrounding houses are all dilapidated, and some have collapsed, similar to the environment I am in now.
There were occasional people walking through the alleys covered with more than ten centimeters of snow, but no one cared about a child like him who was about to freeze to death.
"It's getting dark, and we have to find a place to heat ourselves as soon as possible."
Gooding stepped out of the debris where he was hiding, and stepped barefoot on the snow, a biting coldness coming from both feet, but soon, the coldness became numb.
Gooding walked briskly out of the alley to a street that was finally lively, and he looked left and right.
Many passers-by deliberately avoided him when they saw the appearance of a beggar.
Gooding didn't care, his eyes searching for a place to keep warm.
On both sides of the street, there are all kinds of shops selling everything.
The smell of food came from the small tavern not far away, and Gu Ding realized that he seemed to have not eaten for a long time. However, he only glanced in the direction of the restaurant, and then searched for other targets again.
Only by finding a place where you can keep warm can you survive. As for eating, in this case, it is secondary.
"There seems to be a sound of iron striking over there!" Gooding turned his head to look to the left, he couldn't see the shop where the iron was struck, but he heard the sound and hurriedly trotted all the way over.
Halfway through the intersection, Gooding saw a blacksmith shop. Although it looks like a very dilapidated shop, and the man who strikes iron has a scar on his face, he looks a little hideous.
Guding still didn't hesitate and walked over.
"Uncle, can I work in your shop?" Gooding grinned brightly at the iron man.
The man turned his head and looked Gu Ding up and down, "Little brat, go away, don't delay my business." ”
"I don't want to be paid, as long as I have something to eat." Gooding put forward the conditions.
"Go away! You are so small that you can't even lift a bucket of water, and you still work ......" The man shook his head helplessly.
"I have little strength, but I will grow up. At least, I'm not completely useless now, I can help you clean up, and besides, I can stay in your blacksmith shop at night and watch the shop for you. Seeing that the other party did not immediately refuse, Gooding continued, "Anyway, I don't want to be paid, you take care of two meals a day...... No, one meal will do. ”
The man began to hesitate a little, after all, the other party was a child, let alone one meal, even if he had three meals a day, he couldn't eat much. Moreover, there is indeed a lack of a cleaner in my own store, as for watching the store at night, even if a thief comes in, what can a five-year-old child do!
"Uncle, you can try it out for a while. If you think I'm not doing well enough, you can kick me away. Gooding made a final move.
"Well, you can stay. But it's okay, I'm cleaned every day, and if it's not clean, I can let you go immediately! The man finally agreed.
