I didn't become a human today

Ji Ran rested his paw on the fish tank and looked out.

Counting them, there are five people in total who were blocked by the so-called market gate.

Besides Foya and Brother Hoshino, there is also a scholar behind him, who looks gentle and refined.The scholar held a bamboo slip in his hand, and he opened it up to look at it from time to time, and when he spoke, he was full of a superior tone.

On the left of the scholar stood a little girl, about twelve or thirteen years old, holding a small toy that can be seen everywhere in Lingnan street vendors. It was a dark wooden box, and the gear on one side was turned by hand. A wooden bird jumped out.

Standing behind the girl was a woman with a hunchback and a white gauze covering her bamboo hat, which almost covered her from head to toe.

The scholar glanced at the hunchbacked woman, stepped aside, and then glanced at the little girl with disdain in his eyes. Finally, he walked up to Liang Xingye and Foya, "There must be some tests in the future. Yu Bufan, how about we help each other for a while?"

"There is still a test in the future?" Foya's eyes widened, "Didn't we all come in..."

"Brother, I don't know. This time, the owner of the Jizhu Building announced that he will only accept one apprentice. Just now, the door of the market has been screened to the end. There are only five of us left. Four of us will be eliminated. Only the last person will be able to see the true face of the owner of Jizhu Building."

Fo Ya finally understood that if he wanted to see that landlord, he had to pass the test set by him, and the last one left could see him.

Now that we are here, we can only take one step at a time.

The five people are standing in the machine building at the moment, looking up, they can see the traces of mechanism fitting everywhere in the building. Everything in the building looks ordinary, but in fact, it has its own mystery.The building is a circular structure, divided into three floors, made of twelve huge columns.

On each column, a giant dragon is vividly carved. The dragon climbs up for a certain distance every hour. When it is dawn, the dragon head goes up, in the shape of climbing; The precise structure is far beyond the reach of ordinary people's brain power.

The veiled woman who brought them in at first stood in the center, and pressed a mechanism on the bronze tripod on one side, and there was rumble around, and after a while, six more doors appeared out of thin air.

"First of all, congratulations to the six of you who have passed the gate of the city. Next, please enter a gate each. If you can get out of this gate, you will be able to pass the landlord's test."

"Six?" The scholar immediately counted again. He thought he had miscalculated the number before, but now he counted again, and there were still only five people.

Where did the sixth person come from?

He cast doubtful eyes on the fish tank that Liang Xingye held in his hand, a little unbelievable, "Could it be...is that bastard also counted as a quota?"

"Exactly."

The scholar felt that he had been insulted, and that bastard was able to enter the market, be on par with him, and even participate in the test of the owner of the machine building?Big joke!

Even so, the scholar still held back his emotions, picked a door at random and walked in.

The entrance was then sealed.

The others also left one after another, only Foya and Liang Xingye were left looking at each other.

Foya lowered his voice, and cautiously said to Liang Xingye: "You really don't want Brother Ji Ran to go alone..."

"It can only walk through one door alone." The veiled woman had sensitive ears.

Foya sternly said, "Then why don't we stop participating? Let us go out."

"Heh..." the woman sneered, "Since you have entered the Jizhulou, it is up to you to go in or out. There are many traps in the Jizhulou. If I were you, I would choose a door wisely."

Foya poked Liang Xingye with his elbow, "What should I do?"

Liang Xingye glanced around, "She's right. There are traps in all directions in the locomotive building. Have you seen the small holes in the algae well? Those arrows are already aimed at us."

"Brother Ji Ran..."

Ji Ran poked his head out of the fish tank, and at the moment he was righteous, "If you put me down, my identity has already been found out. It's not appropriate for me to pretend to be a bastard."

Although he is indeed a real bastard now...

"Proceed with caution." Liang Xingye put him in front of a door.

Ji Ran responded, and slowly crawled in. He was about to turn around and warn them to be careful, but when he turned his head, the two people had already entered the door, and even the entrance had disappeared.

It's not that they are fast... It's that Ji Ran, as a bastard, crawls too slowly.

Ji Ran climbed two steps, stopped to rest, climbed three more steps, and stopped again... While crawling, his big brain was not idle, and he was still analyzing the current situation.

Looking at it now, the proprietor of this Jizhulou is really not an ordinary person. It is not easy to see through his real identity hidden under the bastard... Could it be that this guy is really connected to the sky as the rumors say?

After half a stick of incense passed, Ji Ran officially entered the door, the machine behind him was running noisy, the door was closed, and the inside was pitch black.

There was a burnt smell in the air.

The darkness was torn apart by a flame, and the surroundings gradually brightened.

Ji Ran is very familiar with the furnishings in this house, it was his room in Ji's old house.

There were bursts of fire outside the house, "Fire out, put out the fire!"

Billowing thick smoke kept pouring in from the crack of the door. Amidst the sound of fire fighting one after another, Ji Ran heard Father Ji's voice coming from outside his room door.

"My son's favorite tea set is still in there!"

"Master, don't go!"

"No... My son is back, and he still needs to use that tea set to drink tea... It was a gift I gave him on his 15th birthday, and he kept it as a treasure. You all say that my son has become a fairy, and he will never He will come back, but I know that he will come back here one day. I have to keep this home for him, keep the things he likes, and don't want anything else. I must find that tea set..."

The door was pushed open with a bang, and Father Ji rushed into the scene of the fire unsuspecting, rummaging through boxes...

"Father! Run!" Ji Ran watched the fire getting bigger and bigger, and anxiously circled around in place.

But he is just a bastard, small, huddled in the corner of the table, Ji Laoji can't see him at all, and can't hear his words.

"I found it..." Father Ji was holding a brocade box, and there was still a black mark left by the charcoal on his face, so he ran outside without wiping it off in time.

"Boom!" The scorched beam finally couldn't bear the weight and collapsed.

Father Ji failed to escape...

"Master! Master!"

When he was dying, Father Ji was still holding the brocade box, tightly holding it...
