When the holy decree first came to the tea city of the Tang Kingdom, it was uncovered by a fifteen or sixteen-year-old boy, the boy's name was Ye Qiu, Ye Qiu was originally an orphan who lived in the Taoist temple, which was too dilapidated, and was washed away by a flood a few years ago, and Ye Qiu had no place to live. But Ye Qiu has lived in the temple since he was a child, and he knows a little bit about the small spells of the five elements of yin and yang taught by Taoist priests, and because Ye Qiu is originally clever, it is enough to sell some small spells on weekdays to mix some food without being hungry.

This imperial list had just been pasted, and at noon, Ye Qiu's hungry stomach was croaking, and he saw that he met the requirements of this imperial list. Another fifty taels of silver were given away for nothing, so he ripped off the emperor list without thinking about it.

The sergeant who posted the emperor's list was also startled, but when he carefully looked at Ye Qiu's age, height, and appearance, he was no longer angry, and he said to Ye Qiu with satisfaction: "It turns out that you kid, you can go to Yunwuling, but your clothes are too shabby, you need to change them." ”

Ye Qiu said smartly: "Big brother, with this white silver, I will go buy new clothes immediately, I will not embarrass you." ”

The sergeant smiled and said, "That's the truth, go, you can go back with me to get the silver now, you kid has nothing to worry about, it's just right to go to Yunwuling." ”

Ye Qiu thought to himself, "I just don't know where this Cloud Ridge is?"

The sergeant said, "It's a good place, I'll take you there,"

Ye Qiu said: "There is such a good place, you don't have to go hungry when you go to Yunwuling." ”

The sergeant smiled and said no more.

The ordinary people of the Tang Kingdom are afraid of Yunwuling, although they have the silver of the white flowers, but if the family is well-to-do, most of them will not go to this errand, and no one will do the things that will kill them, Ye Qiu also has his own plans, first take the fifty taels of white flowers and silver, and then with his own ability, he will always find a way to escape.

Sure enough, the government issued the silver quickly, which was a huge amount of money that Ye Qiu had never seen or used, Ye Qiu's eyes stared at the white silver for a while.

Ye Qiu thanked him and was about to leave, but a few errand officers at the door blocked his way, Ye Qiu smiled and said, "I won't take your money for nothing, I will come back." ”

The few errand officers smiled maliciously, ignored Ye Qiu's request, and still blocked the door.

Ye Qiu was a little anxious now, he kicked the silver in his arms, thinking about how to escape from here first. Ye Qiu retreated with a smile and asked, "Why didn't you let people go after receiving the silver?"

"Of course I can go, and I will send you there well. At this time, the Taishou of the tea city hurriedly walked in from outside the door, still holding a copy of the latest notice in his hand.

Taishou looked at Ye Qiu with a smile and said, "You can leave immediately tomorrow." ”

Ye Qiu thought for a while and said, "You can go to Cloud Ridge tomorrow?"

Taishou nodded solemnly and said: "Of course, you can go tomorrow, you came at the right time, we have received the latest notice, just recently, six gates appeared in the direction of Yunwuling, according to the above meaning, these six gates are the passage opened by Yunwuling to you, now we just need to send you to the nearest gate from our tea city." ”

Although Ye Qiu said that he could also order the Dao technique of the three-legged cat, he really couldn't figure out what kind of thing these six gates were, what kind of place Yunwuling was, and he was confused in his heart.

Ye Qiu thought, anyway, he has nothing to worry about, since he is going to leave for Yunwuling tomorrow, then go, anyway, while walking, there will always be a way to live.

Ye Qiu slept very soundly this night, the post house service arranged by the Taishou for the people who went to Yunwuling in the tea city was very thoughtful, Ye Qiu and the others were full of food, and they packed up in the morning, and dozens of people followed the sergeants of the tea city and hurried towards the direction of Yunwuling.

Everyone didn't dare to delay time, and there was a reception from the Tang Country Post House along the way, and the journey was very smooth, less than a month later, soon Ye Qiu and they came to the bottom of the Cloud Ridge.

When they approached the designated place, they saw a strange light flashing in the distance, as if there was a colorful gem that had been shining, Ye Qiu and the others walked forward, but they saw that there were many people who arrived first and were running back in fright, and there were many soldiers chasing them angrily, and the faces of those people were full of helpless fear.

Ye Qiu also thought in his heart, he must be careful, it seems that there is a situation ahead. Ye Qiu carried a three-inch-long gossip sword, this sword was not taught to him by others, but he dug it out from under the collapsed Taoist temple, the gossip sword was forged with stainless steel, when it was just dug out, when Ye Qiu pulled out the scabbard, the sword body was still flashing with dazzling light, Ye Qiu once used it to gently cut open the copper kettle he used to boil water, he was distressed that he didn't sleep well for a few days and nights, so he simply didn't dare to try it in the future, Ye Qiu touched it with his hand, and the gossip sword was beside him.

Getting closer and closer to the destination, the light slowly became less dazzling, and I could already see what was in front of me, sure enough, a huge gate was placed in front, and the gate was surrounded by a wilderness under the mountain, I don't know how the gate suddenly appeared, and from the gate it was already possible to see that there was a road stretching in the gate.

Ye Qiu and the others stopped, the sound of ghosts crying and wolf howling was coming from the gate at this time, Ye Qiu took a closer look and was startled, the gate was full of wolves, insects, tigers and leopards, and it seemed that there were still hidden demons and monsters, Ye Qiu understood now, no wonder those people wanted to run away just now, they must have been frightened by this situation.

Ye Qiu wasn't very scared in his heart, wasn't this just a trick to deceive his eyes? Someone deliberately set up a Dao method to scare those who wanted to enter the door, if Yunwuling really wanted to recruit disciples, would they deliberately scare away all the people who came to be selected? Just want to test the courage of these people. When Ye Qiu thought of this, not only was he not scared in his heart, but he was a little happy in his heart, as long as he entered this gate, he would definitely be able to get rid of the care of these soldiers, and when he wanted to escape, no one would care what he wanted!

Let's get inside, it's getting late!" shouted the soldiers around them.

Ye Qiu was about to walk forward, but he saw that the faces of several people who came with him from the tea city suddenly changed greatly, and they were so frightened that they ran back, and several angry soldiers hurriedly caught up with him, and they started fighting.

Ye Qiu didn't say much, he walked quietly towards the gate, and sure enough, the closer he got to the gate, the more he could feel a strange force that seemed to be disturbing around him, and it seemed that thousands of insects crawled out of the door and crawled towards his body, the more Ye Qiu walked forward, and it seemed that there were wolves and tigers that were bravely pounced on him, which made Ye Qiu's forehead can't help but be soaked with sweat, and his pace couldn't help but slow down.

Ye Qiu seemed to have felt the pain in his body, Ye Qiu was in a trance, and suddenly remembered, isn't this just a trick? I'm still afraid that it won't work? Ye Qiu tried hard to make his consciousness calm, no longer thinking nonsense, it closed its eyes quietly, and walked towards the door as usual.

Outside the gate, those who had not yet had the courage to enter the gate all looked at Ye Qiu in surprise at this time, they also heard the terrifying voice that they had never heard before, and the monster that didn't know what kind of monster was rushing towards Ye Qiu desperately.

Although Ye Qiu tried his best to keep himself calm, his face was already soaked with sweat, and at the moment when he was about to step into the threshold of the gate, the tiger that had been hanging his eyes opened his huge mouth and bit him, Ye Qiu couldn't hold back any longer, he took out the gossip sword from his arms, stabbed it towards the tiger bravely, and then shouted loudly and rushed forward, at that moment, Ye Qiu finally stepped over the gate.

Maybe it was too much force, Ye Qiu passed out on the ground at the moment he stepped through the door, and when Ye Qiu woke up, it was already the next day, Ye Qiu was pleasantly surprised to find that he was still alive unscathed, but there was no trace of the gate that came in from the outside.
