Chapter 1054 The road to Shu is difficult, it is difficult to reach the sky
But faced with Zhuge Linglong's persuasion, Zhuge Junru shook her head.
"This matter is not a child's play. For this operation, our Zhuge clan has used the strength of the whole clan. How can we just give up?"
"What's more, even if I do try to persuade you, do you think the higher-ups in the clan, as well as the ancestors, will listen to me?"
"But..." Zhuge Linglong wanted to say something else.
But Zhuge Junru waved her hand, "Needless to say, Chen Qi is indeed powerful, but you must also believe in the abilities of our Zhuge clan."
"If we can't even deal with a mortal, how can we call ourselves a hermit family?"
When Zhuge Linglong heard this, she knew that this matter was no longer something she could control, so she could only sigh quietly.
Two more days have passed.
It was not until the early morning of the third day that Zhuge Junru sent someone to inform Chen Qi that the senior officials of the Zhuge family had finished their work and could receive Chen Qi.
Moreover, Zhuge Junru had already returned to his clan first, so they only gave him an address, so Chen Qi had to go there on his own.
"This Zhuge clan is clearly trying to make things difficult!"
Suzaku couldn't help complaining, "We were invited to come, but we were left alone for several days, and now we are allowed to go by ourselves."
"Do they really think we have no temper?"
Chen Qi didn't take it seriously, "After all, they are said to be a reclusive family, transcending the mundane world. Even ordinary people can't get a chance to meet them."
Suzaku pursed his lips, "It's also Dragon Lord. You have a good temper. If it were me, I would have fucked them a long time ago!"
Afterwards, Chen Qi and others packed up their gear and set off to the hinterland of the Zhuge family ahead.
The address given by Zhuge Junru is a place called [Wolong Mountain].
This place was originally [Longzhong], a tourist attraction.
Because of its dangerous terrain and steep roads, it is difficult to climb.
Ordinary tourists can only visit the foot of the mountain, but few people know what the top of the mountain looks like.
The poet Li Taibai once lamented: The road to Shu is difficult, and it is difficult to reach the sky!
Although I don't know which path he took at that time, it should be similar to the one he is taking now.
Chen Qi's team has increased from the original three to seven.
People like Suzaku, White Tiger, Huang Long and others are all martial arts practitioners, so walking this path is naturally easy.
But it was a bitter experience for Murong Qingxue. She was a weak woman who didn't know kung fu. She couldn't bear such torture. She didn't go very far and she was already dripping with sweat from exhaustion.
In the end, it was Chen Qi who carried him up the mountain. Otherwise, at this speed, he would not be able to reach the top of the mountain even after dark.
At noon, the sun was already hanging above everyone's heads.
After a long journey of half a day, Chen Qi and his party finally reached the top of the mountain.
The so-called climbing high and looking far away means that from here, you can have an unobstructed view of the entire Wolong Mountains.
What you see is a huge natural mountain stream, where countless houses have been built.
There are crisscrossing roads, criss-crossing terraced fields, and rushing rivers.
It has to be said that the place where the Zhuge family lives in seclusion can indeed be called a paradise.
No wonder they have been able to survive for thousands of years. With this natural barrier, it is difficult for ordinary people to find this place.
"That's right, this should be the hinterland of the Zhuge family."
Zhuque compared the address given by Zhuge Junru, nodded and said.
Chen Qi chuckled for a moment, "Let's go, let's see together, what kind of abilities does this Zhuge Hidden Family have, and how dare they claim to be superior to others?"
Arriving in front of a huge mountain gate, this should be the only way to join the clan, and there are guards guarding it.
When they saw Chen Qi and others appearing, several guards immediately stepped forward to stop them.
"Stop! Who dares to break into the Zhuge family's hinterland?"
Chen Qi stepped forward and responded, "I, Chen Qi, was invited by the nobles not long ago and came here specifically to attend the meeting."
When several guards heard this, they looked at each other for a while.
Then, a man who seemed to be the leader came forward and said, "What's wrong with you? I advise you to leave immediately, otherwise don't blame us for being rude to you!"
"Um?"
Chen Qi was stunned, "Didn't the top brass of your Zhuge family inform you?"
"No!"
Chen Qi frowned.
How is this going?
Zhuge Junru had previously sent someone to notify him, asking him to come directly to [Wolong Mountain]. She had already arranged everything in advance.
However, when they arrived here, they were blocked by several guards from the Zhuge family.
Is it possible that the Zhuge family is planning something else?
Just as Chen Qi thought, the leading man continued to speak.
"However, if you want to visit my Zhuge family, there is another way."
"What other method?"
The man pointed not far away, "Do you see the tripod over there?"
"Our Zhuge family has rules. If outsiders want to visit our clan, they must pass two tests."
"The first one is Wolong Mountain Road. Since you have appeared here, you must have passed a test."
"And this second test is the bronze tripod over there."
Look in the direction the man points.
But I saw several bronze tripods standing on the cliff.
There is no difference in the appearance of the bronze tripods, the difference is in their size.
A conservative estimate is that the smallest one weighs a thousand kilograms, and the largest one weighs ten thousand kilograms.
The man said proudly, "These bronze tripods range from one thousand catties, five thousand catties, eight thousand catties, to ten thousand catties."
"As long as you can move one of them to the mountain gate, you can pass this test!"
Chen Qi asked, "Are there any particularities in moving these tripods?"
"Of course! Those who move the Thousand Jin Cauldron will be initially recognized by our clan.
Those who move a five-thousand-jin cauldron will receive courtesy from our clan."
"Anyone who can move a tripod weighing ten thousand pounds should be treated as an honored guest!"
The man paused slightly and raised his eyebrows slightly, "It's up to you to decide which one you want to move."
Chen Qi glanced at the man indifferently.
Needless to say, this situation is probably the result of the Zhuge clan deliberately making things difficult for Chen Qi.
Chen Qi secretly activated his spiritual consciousness to detect the surrounding situation.
Sure enough, he clearly sensed that deep in the mountain gate, there were several secretive and thick auras, paying close attention to this place at all times.
According to Chen Qi's judgment, the martial arts strength of these people is not low, and many of them are powerful immortals.
Presumably, the man in front of him had actually known that Chen Qi and others would come here, and also knew the purpose of Chen Qi and others' arrival.
He followed orders from above and did it deliberately.
As for their purpose of doing this, Chen Qi could probably guess a thing or two.
It's nothing more than trying to evaluate Chen Qi's specific strength in this way.
Although the strength of a person who practices martial arts does not explain everything, in a sense, it is also a standard for judging the level of strength.
This thousand-jin cauldron and ten-thousand-jin cauldron can play such a role.
Seeing Chen Qi's delay in making any move, the man seemed a little impatient.
“Hey, are you moving or not?
If you don’t want to move, leave quickly, don’t stay here and be an eyesore!”
Chen Qi smiled warmly, "Move, of course I want to move!"
