Standing at the foot of the mountain where the academy is located, looking up at the misty mountain in front of me, and then looking down the mountain, I finally saw the mountain in front of me, which was hidden by dense trees.

Lucius turned his head to look at the senior brother of the academy and asked with some puzzlement, "Why do you want to bet?

Senior Brother Wendaosan smiled honestly and said: "Hehe, the second brother didn't say anything, then I'll give you a reminder, there is a saying in the East, there is a road in Shushan as a path, and there seems to be a road to the academy in front of you, but many times you will not know where to go when you are in the mountains, so if you want to enter the academy, you must first walk through this mountain scripture." ”

Lucius looked at the other party as if he didn't understand, and then looked at the path leading to the depths of the dense forest in front of him, and vaguely felt that the path in front of him might not lead to the academy.

At this time, Wen Dao was a little impatient, so he urged Lucius: "Do you want to gamble? I bet that you will be able to complete this mountain scripture in more than thirty days, do you think you can walk it in thirty days?"

Lucius spoke again and asked, "How long will it take you to climb this mountain?"

"I'm stupid, I walked for three years at the beginning, and finally walked this path, and some people may not even be able to complete this path in their lives, but everyone else in the academy is better than me, the most powerful is the second junior brother, he only took half an hour. ”

Luciuston felt a little lost, "half an hour and three years", and according to the elder brother, there are still people who can't complete this mountain trail in their lifetime, which has simply subverted Lucius's cognition.

Wen Daosan didn't seem to be in a hurry, as if he was worried that Lucius would not want to set foot on the mountain path, so he smiled and said to Lucius: "Don't be afraid, Master said that you should be able to finish the book path, and it should not take too long, as long as you can truly understand the content of the book path, I am afraid you will be able to finish it soon." ”

Lucius looked up and smiled bitterly. I thought about it and said, "Okay, let's try it, thirty days, right? Then I'll finish it in twenty-nine days." ”

Hearing that Lucius was so confident, Wen Daosan was suddenly excited, and quickly took out his little abacus and said: "Very good, it is good to have self-confidence, if you can finish it in twenty-nine days, then even if I lose, what are you going to use as a bet?"

Lecius looked at the senior brother and said, "Tell me, what are you going to bet on, what have you learned from the academy?"

Wen Dao San shook his head when he heard this. Yan said: "That's not good, Master said that what we learn in the academy is tailor-made by him for each of us, and it can't be passed on to anyone, so I can't use it as a bet." ”

As he spoke, Wen Daosan thought about it, took out a small flying knife from the leather bag on his waist and said, "If you don't dislike it." I'll just use this throwing knife as a bet, how about it?"

"Flying knives?" Lucius looked at Wen Dao San with some doubts, and saw the small black and gold flying knife in his hand, and it seemed that the flying knife didn't seem to be anything special. However, Lucius could feel a unique energy fluctuation from the throwing knife.

Thinking that the other party regarded the throwing knife as a treasure, Lecius thought that maybe the flying knife would be of some use to him, so he took out a homemade firearm from the metal box on his waist.

He held it in his hand and said, "Then I'll use this gun." It doesn't seem to be taking advantage of you, but if I don't finish this road in twenty-nine days, the gun will be yours. ”

Take a closer look at the firearm in Lucius' hand. Wen Daosan quickly grinned and said: "Hehe, okay, then I'll bet with you, I've always wanted to get a gun to play with, and now I finally have a chance, hehe, I still have to remind you in the end, remember that sentence, 'There is a road in the book mountain', then we'll see you on the mountain." ”

After that, the senior brother did not stop, turned around and stepped on the mountain road, took a steady step forward step by step, and disappeared into the dense forest in front of him after a few steps.

No. 4 stepped forward and whispered to Lucius: "Your Highness, I'm afraid that this mountain road is fraudulent, you still don't step on it lightly, I think I'm afraid this mountain road may not lead to the academy." ”

Lu Xius then shook his head: "No, this mountain road is indeed leading to the academy, but there will inevitably be its own unique places on the mountain road, but for the time being, we can't see it, we must pass this road to go up the mountain, otherwise I'm afraid it will be difficult for us to enter the academy." ”

No. 4 said disapprerovingly: "What's the matter, it's a big deal that we won't enter the academy, obviously they invited you to come, and they used that kind of deceptive means, and now they are deliberately trying to make things difficult for you." ”

Lucius smiled and patted No. 4 on the shoulder and said, "Fourth, you think things too simply, you look back, do we still have a way out?"

Hearing this, Number Four turned his head to look behind him, and found that behind them, there was actually an abyss, and a thick mist rose up from under the abyss, and they had no way to retreat now, so to speak, there was no way to choose except for climbing.

Seeing this, No. 4 was furious, and shouted angrily: "It's so despicable, these people actually cut off our retreat and deliberately forced us to fall into their trap, Your Highness, you must not be fooled." ”

Lucius said disapprerovingly: "Don't get in the way, they shouldn't have malicious intentions, otherwise they wouldn't have brought us here, I'm afraid this is also the master's intention, I want to test my strength and see if I have the qualifications to enter the academy." ”

Number Four was still a little puzzled and asked, "Your Highness, why do you still have to accept the master's test if you are not ready to become a disciple of that master?"

"This is a test for my allies, if I can't even finish this mountain road, how can I be qualified to become an ally of the master and the Tang Empire? ”

As he spoke, Lucius ignored No. 3 and No. 4 anymore, and walked straight to the stone steps that the senior brother and the second senior brother had stepped on before.

When he stood down and looked at it, he felt that the stone steps were just ordinary stone steps, but when he really stepped on this mountain road, Lucius finally understood that the seemingly ordinary mountain road in front of him was actually another mystery, and each stone step seemed to contain some kind of special energy fluctuations.

When Lucius's feet stepped on it, he would feel the energy on the stone steps under his feet, as if he was repelling himself and wanted to lift himself off the stone steps.

Especially when Lucius took a step, that feeling was even more obvious, at first Lucius almost stood unsteadily, and was about to be lifted off the stone steps, but fortunately he quickly fell down, and did not rush to step on the next stone step, but slowly adapted to the energy fluctuations on the stone steps.

Behind Lucius No. 3 and No. 4, it seemed that Lucius had stepped on the first stone step, and then he took a step on the spot without stepping on the next stone step.

No. 3 and No. 4 were a little strange, and they hurriedly wanted to rush forward to help, but the moment the two of them stepped on the stone steps, they were immediately bounced out by the force that burst out of the stone steps, and they didn't let the two of them get close at all.

Lecius turned his head to look and saw that No. 3 and No. 4 were ejected, so he said to the two mechanical demons: "Don't come up, it seems that only one person can step on this stone step at a time, and if someone else steps on it together, it will increase the burden on the stone steps, and the extra people will be kicked out." ”

Although No. 3 and No. 4 were worried about Lucius, they did not rush to follow after hearing what Lucius said, but could only wait under the mountain road.

Lucius stood on the stone steps to adapt for a moment, then took another step and stepped up the next stone step, and suddenly more abundant energy came to him, but Lucius, who had been prepared, did not stop his pace, but took the opportunity to step directly on that stone step.

Then, without hesitation, Lucius walked up step by step, and although his steps seemed unwieldy, he climbed several stone steps in succession.

Until the figure of Lucius entered the dense forest, No. 3 and No. 4 wanted to follow, but suddenly a figure appeared from the side stepping on the clouds and said to No. 3 and No. 4: "Two, please come with me, the master ordered me to come and pick them up the mountain." ”

Number Four turned his head to look at the man who was stepping on the clouds, and asked with some puzzlement, "Why can you take us up the mountain, but let our Highness take that mountain road?"

The man who stepped on the clouds smiled and said, "Hehe, this is the master's arrangement, although you two have spiritual wisdom, but you are not flesh and blood after all, you can't walk that book path." ”

Number Three and Number Four looked at each other, and although Number Three had not yet fully recovered, they had begun to develop a sense of autonomy and were able to begin to think about some questions.

At this moment, in the face of this series of arrangements of the academy, although No. 3 and No. 4 had some ideas, they had no way to refute them, after all, Lucius had already set foot on that mountain road, and if they didn't follow the people who stepped on the clouds, they would probably be trapped under the mountain.

After thinking about it, No. 4 still nodded, and called No. 3 to step on the white cloud together, and the person who followed the person who stepped on the cloud took off into the air and went directly to the mountain peak.

At this time, Lucius stopped again, because he could deeply feel that if he was taking a step, he would probably be ejected by the energy on the stone steps, and he might even roll down, and the stone steps he had walked before would be wasted.

However, despite this, Lucius could not take a step, he could only stand still in place, unable to move forward or backwards, and this feeling made him feel very unhappy.

It is as if one foot has stepped out of the cliff, and if someone pushes him, he will fall off the cliff, and he will start all over again, and he may not even be able to walk back to the place where he is standing now, which is a feeling that Lucius has now.

At the same time, on the other side of the mountain road, the disciples of the academy gathered together, staring at the figure on the mountain road below, talking about whether Lucius would be able to complete the mountain road. (To be continued......)
