The Fish Leaps Over the Dragon Gate was originally used by the Li family to test the ability and courage of the next generation of heirs. After a hundred years of change, it slowly became an inheritance ceremony.
However, it was still difficult. If he didn't do it well, he would lose all his face. This would have a fatal impact on Li Zihao's prestige.
Legend had it that the carp in the Yellow River could turn into a dragon after crossing the Dragon Gate. It was more of a general term for rising in status and success in one's career.
There were three ditches behind Dragon Head Village. The first ditch was twenty meters wide and three meters deep. If one fell down, they would at most break a leg.
The second ditch was more than ten meters deep and thirty meters wide. He could vaguely see many white bones below, but he didn't know who had died or how long they had been dead.
As for the third ditch, it was bottomless. No one knew how deep it was. If they fell in, their bodies would not be found.
A tree trunk lay between the first and second ditch. The trunk had become a little slippery due to the sun and rain.
Although it was a little difficult, it was not a difficult thing for Li Zihao. This was thanks to the good foundation left behind by his predecessor. Compared to his later generation, Li Zihao had been practicing martial arts since he was young.
Li Zihao had a small incense burner on his head with incense sticks burning on it. He opened his hands and had two small incense burner on the back of his hands. When they crossed the ditch later, he would let the cannon in the village burn incense.
Those who didn't have the guts would probably fall straight down. No one would be convinced that a coward wanted to be the boss.
The one who lit the incense for Li Zihao was Wei Liu, the daughter of Wei Tiegu, the second-in-command, and Li Zihao's childhood sweetheart. When Li Da Yong drank too much, he would shout for Wei Liu to be his daughter-in-law.
Li Zihao had been sent by Li Da Yong to study in the county town a few years ago. Wei Liu had never studied before, and her temper was very fierce. Although she was very beautiful, Li Zihao did not like Wei Liu. She did not learn any of the three obedience and four virtues that her mother taught her.
If it wasn't for Li Zihao who kept dragging things out, Wei Liu would have been his wife long ago. Of course, Li Zihao was still thinking about another woman, but the number of people in the village who knew about it could be counted on one hand.
"Be careful." It was rare for Wei Liu to give Li Zihao a good look. Ever since Wei Liu knew that Li Zihao was unwilling to marry her, she almost fell out with Li Zihao.
Li Zihao's father was to blame for this. He had always said that he wanted her to be the daughter-in-law of the Li family. After hearing it too much, he was naturally brainwashed. It was just like how parents would tell their children from a young age that they worked so hard to earn money for whom. It was all for them. Everything they had belonged to them. Children would naturally treat their parents 'property as their own.
In her heart, Wei Liu had always thought that when she grew up, Li Zihao would marry her. However, she didn't expect this to become a joke.
Li Zihao felt that there was something wrong with his ex's brain. He had given up on marrying such a good woman and insisted on thinking about the eldest daughter of the Qiao family. Moreover, his father, Li Dayong, firmly opposed him thinking about that woman. Otherwise, Li Zihao would have long brought people down the mountain to snatch her back.
Li Da Yong felt that Wei Liu was the best daughter-in-law in his heart. He could tell from her body that she would definitely take good care of herself. Moreover, Wei Liu's martial arts and spear techniques were not weak. She was more than enough to be the wife of a bandit chief.
Thinking of this, Li Zihao sighed. He was afraid that he would not have the chance to meet her again in this life. Moreover, the situation of the Qiao family was not much better now. He heard that the second branch of the Qiao family had even become the chairman of the traitor, which angered his grandfather to death.
"Hehe, look, Xiao Ya, your Brother Zihao is showing off his might today.”
"Hmph, don't talk big. If you want to talk big, wait until you can beat me.”
Li Zihao was instantly speechless. Alright, this was indeed the truth. As a girl, she was like a tomboy all day long. It was no wonder that Li Zihao did not like her in the past.
She wasn't gentle at all. She was like a wild girlfriend, and her martial strength was extremely high. If she married her and got punished by her one day, she would be the laughing stock of the people in the village.
Looking at the single-plank bridge in front of him, it could not be considered a bridge anymore. It was just a f * cking tree trunk. Li Zihao kept wondering if the tree would break if he walked to the middle.
"Be more accurate, or you'll end up as a widow.”Li Zihao set off without waiting for Wei Liu's reply.
His words caused ripples in Wei Liu's heart. Not only San Bao, but Wei Liu also realized that Li Zihao seemed to have changed into a different person recently. If it was in the past, he might not have bothered with her.
Soon, she withdrew those thoughts. Originally, the incense was handled by Cannon Head Wang San, but because of worry for Li Zihao, Wei Liu snatched Wang San's job. As for Wang San, he didn't even dare to fart. Everyone in the village knew about the two of them. Moreover, Wei Liu's marksmanship was also not bad. Otherwise, if anything happened, Wang San would have to take the blame.
Wei Liu opened the holster and pulled out his Mauser pistol (also known as a shell gun, self-made, fast and slow machine), the original German 20 shots. This was not a good gun that was easy to get.
Speaking of which, this gun was a gift from Li Da Yong. It cost a lot of money and was Wei Liu's favorite item.
Li Zihao tried his best to maintain his balance. He couldn't let others look down on him, could he?
When he reached the middle, three gunshots rang out and the three incense sticks were extinguished. The speed was very fast. This woman was really too obvious. Normally, every shot would take a few seconds.
However, Li Zihao felt that Wei Liu was obviously a tsundere. He had a sharp tongue but a soft heart. A smile appeared on his face and his footsteps became more steady.
Finally, they arrived at the second ditch. Li Zihao looked down and saw that it was a little deep. There seemed to be a lot of white bones. Fortunately, he didn't have to go there again. Otherwise, he would feel a little pressured.
[Mission released. Challenge the Sky Pit. Mission failure will result in death.]）
Li Zihao, who had just heaved a sigh of relief, almost cursed out loud.
