When can you come tomorrow?
Taijie felt hopeless.
This time it was careless.
It was not defeated by the monks, it was defeated by the hands of this world.
but……
Looking up at the female cultivator at the top, Taijie gritted his teeth.
It's not easy for them, and she--don't even think about it.
At least they were with each other and she was alone.
"Who are you?"
Taijie stared at the girl who was throwing around the robes, "What's going on in the palace above?"
Gu Chengshu: "..."
Ask her?
Gu Chengshu glanced at it and frowned, "Who are you?"
"I am too jealous."
Tai Jie is proud of his identity and has never felt the need to hide it from anyone. "You did it for us to appear here, right? Do you know what the situation is now? If you don't want to die, how about we cooperate temporarily?"
"..."
Gu Chengshu looked at it deeply and said nothing.
"I can make you a promise. I will never do anything to you here. When you go out... I will also give you three chances to escape."
Taijie just wants his life now.
How precious is its life?
"Blessed are you."
Captain Xiao Long, who was closest to Gu Chengshu, said: "The promise of our Lord Demon King is the promise of our clan. Only through cooperation can we win a win-win situation. Otherwise... you won't be able to escape even if we die."
Want to escape with those few tattered clothes?
Absolutely impossible.
"Our classics have never recorded such a Gobi Desert, and I think yours is the same. What we have recorded are the outer parts of the Gobi Desert, and here, nine times out of ten, is the interior that neither of us has recorded. .”
Xiao Long fought hard for his own life, "Why don't we have any records here? I believe that our predecessors and sages have been here, and so have you. The reason why they didn't leave a word behind is probably... died."
"So... it's possible."
Gu Chengshu seemed to think for a moment, "But, can we cooperate now if we want to?"
She looked at them, "Which of us can move now?"
this?
All Yuegui fell silent for a moment.
yes!
Even if you want to cooperate now, there is no chance.
they……
Looking at the way we came, everything had collapsed.
Who knows how long the steps underfoot will last?
Like the tribesmen who fell before, they will eventually fall into crystal nuclei and pure spiritual energy balls, right?
When he thought of this, Xiao Long's face turned gloomy.
"Just because you can't move now doesn't mean you won't have a chance tomorrow."
Taijie sounded indifferent under the cold moonlight, but it injected a different kind of vitality into the desperate Yuegui people.
Yes, their demon king is here.
The Demon King is well-informed and proficient in many forbidden laws. Maybe there is another way.
All Yuegui looked at their Lord Taijie.
"Although we have no retreat, there is a way forward."
Taijie looked at Gu Chengshu, "This step points us in the direction. I have seen it clearly. The reason why it appears is because the moon and the palace where it is located are in a line. Now we are trapped here, is Because the moon deviates from that line."
At this point, it paused and said, "In other words, we still have a chance tomorrow. It may even be a chance not only for the moon, but also for the sun."
"..."
What a beautiful thought.
What if the sun is also a chance?
Why didn't you see it yesterday?
Gu Chengshu was noncommittal.
"Although spirits and consciousness are forbidden here, I am familiar with all kinds of forbidden methods."
too
Jie said what he wanted to say most, "As long as tomorrow's steps appear, I will have a way to use a certain forbidden method to prevent it from collapsing."
Gu Chengshu: "..."
She didn't believe a word of it.
"Speaking of which, I haven't asked my little friend Gao's name yet."
Taijie looked friendly, "I need help from my little friend when it comes to my forbidden method."
"..."
"..."
All Yuegui looked at Gu Chengshu.
"My name is Xue Yuan."
Xue Yuan?
Tai Jie quickly ran through the name Xue Yuan in his mind to make sure that Huan Guang had not mentioned her before, and he couldn't help but feel relieved, "Haha, it turns out to be Xue Xiaoyou."
"Let's not talk about it, little friend. Tell me, how do you need my help?"
"hehe!"
Taijie gave a more friendly smile, "First, I want to stand at the top."
Tomorrow will definitely not be very long.
But this broken step becomes more difficult to climb toward the back.
Instead of waiting to climb up tomorrow, why not take advantage of the moment and get to the top.
Only in this way will it have more opportunities.
"In the current situation, if I use the forbidden method, I will hurt the source."
It looked at Gu Chengshu, "So, I may not be able to climb the stairs by then. Now, when everyone is free, it should be okay for everyone to help me and give me a hand, right?"
"no problem."
"no problem!"
"Absolutely no problem."
"But sir, we don't have the tools to pull you!"
Although the steps are narrow, if you are careful, it will be fine for two people.
Moreover, it is in the interest of all of them that the Demon King stands at the top.
"Fellow Taoist, you have a lot of robes. Can you throw a few of them down and let us make them into ropes?"
Xiao Long quickly made a condition, "There is strength in numbers, fellow Taoist, you won't be stingy with a few robes, right?"
"It's still early, don't rush."
Gu Chengshu did not refuse on the spot and changed the topic, "Speaking of cooperation, you must let me know that in addition to the Demon King Taijie, there are several captains and several squad captains among you."
"..."
"..."
Why ask this?
There are many ruthless characters among the monks.
Huanguang once described it as killing one to get enough money, killing two to make a profit.
In the past, many monks who spread to the West did this.
They didn't quite understand it before, but since entering the secret world, although they have killed many monks, they have also encountered many tough problems.
They have witnessed with their own eyes what it means to kill one to get enough money, but to kill two to make a profit.
If these monks were crazy, they would break their hands and feet, bite them with their teeth, use broken teeth as weapons, and use blood as arrows, they would have done it all.
Now……
"In addition to me, there are two captains and sixteen squad captains here."
This number is heavily discounted.
But to say there is none is absolutely impossible.
Taijie looked at Gu Chengshu, "Little friend, if you don't worry about us, I can make you an oath. With my current status, you should know that my oath..."
"Then you go first!"
Gu Chengshu interrupted and went straight to the topic.
"...I, the King, am too Jie!"
How many monks' lives is its life worth?
Don't just put one Xue Yuan, it's nothing if there are hundreds or thousands.
Tai Jie raised his hand and swore, "I swear now that I will never lay a finger on little friend Xue Yuan in this life. I won't move here, and I will never move outside of here."
It felt that the other party was not very happy, so it could only increase the pressure again, "All the personnel under my command, as ordered by my oath, will not lay a finger on my little friend. If the order is broken, I and everyone will die together." remove."
It looks very solemn, it looks like
He won't lie, but hey, if it doesn't move her, she will move it!
Gu Chengshu smiled and said, "Master Taijie, do you want me to help bring you to my place?"
"yes!"
Taijie was overjoyed.
"such a pity!"
Gu Chengshu touched her little ball and said, "I don't want to."
What?
The smile on Taijie's face instantly turned gloomy, "So, are you kidding me?"
"Right? It's quite fun."
The smile on Gu Chengshu's face deepened, "Just like you are teasing me, I am teasing you! What does your forbidden law have to do with me? After using it, it is powerless, what does it have to do with me? I - stand At the top, I will always have more opportunities than you.
So what if I don't get the chance in the end? "
She looked at the angry and frightened ones with a mocking look, "I can lead a demon king, two captains, and a dozen squad captains to death by myself. No matter how you look at it, it's worth it."
"..."
Taijie's teeth grinded loudly, "Xue Yuan, you have successfully made me remember you."
"my pleasure!"
Gu Chengshu raised his hand and said, "Taijie, you have also succeeded in making me remember you."
Taijie: "..."
If looks could kill, it would have killed this Xue Yuan many times.
Hateful, looks can't kill.
it……
"Xiao Long!"
Taijie ordered Xiao Long at the front, "Take off your robes and pull me up first as much as possible."
There were originally fifty people in front of it, but after one died, there were forty-nine.
One person occupies two steps, which is also ninety-eight.
But in fact, there were more than ninety-eight. Although a few people were too close and their steps overlapped, most of them were far apart.
In total, it has to climb one hundred and fourteen steps to get to Xiao Long.
They are broken now, so it can't climb, so everyone can only pull it little by little.
"Tomorrow the steps will appear again, and I will definitely use the forbidden law to protect everyone."
"yes!"
Xiao Long didn't dare not agree.
Although it felt a little cold after it stopped moving, Lord Demon King - they must pull!
Gu Chengshu looked at these Yuegui, knotting clothes into ropes, pulling Taijie little by little, and particularly regretted not installing another arrow in Nawu Perry.
but……
Gu Chengshu thought of something and started rummaging through her belongings.
Soon she took out a small jar of oil.
"Meow~"
As soon as Tuantuan saw her, he knew what she wanted to do, and his eyes lit up.
"The higher you climb, the harder you fall!"
Gu Chengshu rubbed the little guy and put away the oil, "Tuan Tuan, can you tell me that tomorrow's sun will really make the steps reappear?"
this?
Tuantuan looked at the moon.
Although it is a little further away, I don't know if it is a problem with the angle. I always feel that something in those temples is lighting up because of the moon.
"Meow~"
Gu Chengshu looked back along the little paws and saw the light moving forward little by little, as if spreading out.
this?
Gu Chengshu's heartbeat was beating uncontrollably.
Who wants to die if he can live?
This place where there is no way to reach the sky or reach the ground is really unsettling.
Gu Chengshu saw that the light was still going down, and soon it turned into virtual and real steps, about to be laid down towards her.
Ahhhh, I can finally leave again.
She quickly took out the jar of oil again.
"Look, the steps are coming again."
With the combined efforts of several tribesmen, Taijie finally climbed up four steps to see everyone.
They all got excited and felt so angry that they wanted to grit their teeth.
Can't you come back later?
Or if it can be done later, it can avoid climbing more than a hundred steps.
"Quick, get ready and climb up quickly."
If a step collapses once, it can collapse a second time.
Too busy to get everyone ready.
But……
What did it see when it looked up?
"Xue Yuan, do you dare?"
"I dare you!"
After Gu Chengshu went down the steps, he poured oil with a smile, "Look, I'm very brave."
"Xue Yuan, I can't forgive you."
The saddest thing is Xiao Long, he is at the front!
It will hit the oil first.
It’s already difficult to climb, and if there’s oil...
"It doesn't matter, I can't spare you either."
Gu Chengshu carefully took out a cassock and swung the hem of the robe underneath along with the oil, making sure that all the rain and dew would get on it.
First level, second level, third level...
After resting for a while, she applied oil while moving up.
Although it is still difficult, she is happy!
Because of happiness, the pain of climbing stairs is reduced by half. .
Moreover, I don't know if it was her misunderstanding. This time, Gu Chengshu felt that the pressure was not so great.
Even Tuantuan himself climbed more than a dozen steps.
Xiao Long was also climbing up, but the more he climbed, the more painful he became.
It wanted the people below to come first, but they were dilly-dallying, and even Lord Taijie didn't take the order of others.
"Sir, where are your forbidden laws?"
Xiao Long wanted to find some hope for himself.
"...The forbidden method cannot be used for the time being. We have to wait until the sun is about to rise."
Taijie said in a deep voice: "Xiao Long, use your cassock to wipe it well and be careful. It's still okay."
Can?
That's okay!
Xiao Long looked at Xue Yuan above and wiped more than thirty steps in a row, and he really wanted to vomit blood.
"Quickly, throw the robe up to Xiao Long."
Taijie ordered the tribesmen who had just pulled him away.
Soon, one by one, more than a dozen cassocks tied into knots were thrown up.
Xiao Long: "..."
What can it do?
You can only drag it up little by little.
But above...
Xiao Long saw Xue Yuan pull away at a faster speed, and the difficulty of climbing the stairs seemed to have been reduced by half.
this? Is the pressure on the top less?
Xiao Long worked hard to regain his composure and climbed faster.
If it is fast, the Moon Slayers will be fast.
Of course Gu Chengshu was faster.
Click~
Kaka~
Every time she climbed a step, she could hear a bone crunch.
Every bone in the hands or feet seemed to be ringing once. Soon the ten fingers, palms, and soles of the feet were all ringing, and the sound started from the forearms and calves.
Kakaka~~~
Every time it rang, she seemed to feel less stressed.
Gu Chengshu realized something, picked up the ball, and ran faster. The palace group was getting bigger and bigger in front of him.
At the bottom of the steps, Zhu Quan and the people with him were climbing in panic.
The steps behind them began to solidify again. Although the speed of breaking was a little slower, the pressure in front was heavy and they probably couldn't run!
"Hurry! Hurry up!"
They were panicking below. Gu Chengshu used the moonlight to see four majestic and powerful characters in front of the mountain gate - "Mingxin Dao Palace".
