Gu Qingshan stood on a branch.
When the whole world appeared before his eyes and became reality, he realized that he was already standing on the branches of this big tree.
——But it is the shortest branch.
Looking down, I saw the dim water of the Wangchuan River flowing by my feet.
If you are not careful, you will fall into the river and become dead in an instant, forgetting everything in the past.
Gu Qingshan stepped firmly on the branch, reached out to grab the surrounding branches, and looked up.
There were not a few leaves on the bare branches, but there were many hanged people hanging upside down.
Between heaven and earth, a new understanding emerged in my heart:
No tricks.
No tricks? Gu Qingshan thought secretly in his heart.
At this time, Di Jian asked: "Do you want to fly up directly?"
Gu Qingshan came back to his senses and said: "It cannot fly. This tree is composed of the laws of the Six Paths. Any trickery will be abandoned by the laws and judged as failure."
"Sir, what are you going to do?" Shan Nu's voice sounded.
"Climb up." Gu Qingshan said briefly.
He climbed onto the branches and climbed higher step by step.
Soon, he was far away from the Wangchuan River.
"Unexpectedly, the catastrophe of the galaxy that the saint chose as Huang Quan turned out to be like this." Di Jian sighed.
"Young master, be careful," the mountain girl said.
Gu Qingshan kept calm and climbed quickly among the branches.
At a certain moment, he suddenly stopped and looked up.
There was a hanged corpse hanging on the branch directly in front.
There were thick branches to the left and right of the body, and there was no other way to go.
Gu Qing continued to look upward.
I saw all kinds of corpses hanging on the only roads that must be passed.
——No tricks.
Gu Qingshan silently recited the reminder of the law in his heart and slowly crawled to the corpse.
The corpse moved and gradually came to life.
It seems that it was a male practitioner in life and was still wearing Taoist robes.
"Ah...no one has chosen the underworld for a long time, cultivator." the corpse said.
Gu Qingshan slowly stood up from the tree trunk and said: "I'm not sure about this. Can you give way? I want to go."
The corpse showed an inexplicable smile and looked at Gu Qingshan.
"Young man... you are really young. Forget it, I will tell you that this is the Holy Selection Road of Huangquan. You need to pay enough to bribe me. You can only pass here until I am satisfied."
"What if I have nothing to give you?" Gu Qingshan asked.
The corpse showed a look of reminiscence and said: "Back then, my strength was almost as strong as that of the Saint of the Galaxy, but I didn't survive this calamity, so I'm hanging here."
It looked at Gu Qingshan, and its voice became a little more cruel:
"I am immortal here. If you really disobey me, then prepare to die. Do you understand?"
"Understood."
Gu Qingshan said, and punched lightly.
——Buzhou·Shan's Puppet!
The corpse was already holding a jade ruler, but suddenly stopped after the punch.
Gu Qingshan held the earth sword and slashed hard on the vine hanging the corpse.
The vines were cut off.
The body rolled and fell down the tree trunk.
thump!
The body fell into the River of Forgetfulness, floated and sank several times and then disappeared.
"What's going on?" Di Jian asked.
"I don't know." Gu Qingshan said.
"Not sure?" Di Jian said speechlessly.
"The law only told me one rule, that is, no tricks. I guess buying this corpse is a trick." Gu Qingshan said.
Di Jian said: "So, as long as you just promised to pay the price, you will lose your qualifications?"
"Yes." Gu Qingshan said.
"Isn't cutting off the vines a trick?" Dijian asked.
Gu Qingshan patiently explained: "When you encounter obstacles on the road, if you cross the obstacle, it may be considered a trick, but if you remove the obstacle in order to move forward, it will definitely not be counted as a trick, because this is The stupidest way."
As soon as he finished speaking, an inexplicable feeling came from the big tree.
Gu Qingshan closed his eyes for a moment and said in surprise: "I successfully overcame the tribulation."
"What? It's so easy?" Di Jian asked in confusion.
"Yes, if you can pass the first corpse, even if you barely complete it, you can go back." Gu Qingshan said.
"Barely finished... What if you don't go back?" Di Jian asked.
"The higher you go, the stronger the six-path power you gain after overcoming the tribulation." Gu Qingshan said.
Di Jian stopped talking.
——Needless to say, Gu Qingshan will definitely continue to climb up.
Gu Qingshan said as expected: "I want to continue climbing up. If nothing else, maybe I can find out some past events from the mouths of these dead guys."
He put away his sword and continued climbing up.
This tree was full of dry branches, densely packed, and full of slippery moisture. Gu Qingshan was very careful when crawling.
——In such a weird environment, who knows what else will appear.
Finally, he got out of the bottom of the tree and came to the second body.
This is a female corpse.
"Please let me pass, I don't want to do unnecessary things." Gu Qingshan said.
The female corpse just hung there, staring at him, and said in confusion: "In the Holy Selection, very few people choose the Underworld. Everyone usually chooses the Beast King Realm or the Heaven Realm. Why did you choose the Underworld?"
Gu Qingshan said frankly: "I am a little sure, what about you?"
"I mainly wanted to take a path that few others take, but in the end I failed." The female corpse said.
"How did you fail?" Gu Qingshan asked.
The female corpse sighed: "I chose Huangquan as my own world, but I was too greedy during the Galactic Tribulation. I looked past the third level and was killed - so I stay here forever."
Gu Qingshan looked up and saw another corpse hanging deep in the branch not far above the female corpse.
Gu Qingshan said: "So you are hanging here and you want to stop me from continuing to climb?"
"No." The female corpse said.
Gu Qingshan was slightly startled.
The female corpse said: "The people on this tree all hope to keep those who come after us, so that they will feel that their failure is nothing."
"I understand." Gu Qingshan nodded.
The female corpse continued: "No matter what they think, what I can tell you is that in this tree, the range that everyone can attack is only a few feet in front of themselves, so you just need to be careful, self-protection and return are still the same. No problem.”
Gu Qingshan said: "Thank you for telling me this, do you want to——"
"I have stayed here enough, I hope to be reincarnated." The female corpse said.
Gu Qingshan said with relief: "I can help you with this."
He drew his sword.
"Finally, is there anything else you want to say?" he asked.
The female corpse said sadly: "I have practiced for thousands of years and ended up like this. I really don't know what is going on in the Six Paths. I just want to become stronger. Why do I have to suffer this?"
Gu Qingshan was silent for a moment and said: "No one knows the reason, but this is the path that practitioners have to take. In order to become stronger, they can only risk their lives. As for what it will be like in the future, and what are the secrets of the Six Paths, it can only become stronger. Only then are you qualified to see it.”
The female corpse nodded and said tiredly: "Send me away. I hope I won't be a cultivator in my next life."
Gu Qingshan said sincerely: "Have a good journey. I hope you have good luck in your next life."
——A wave of the long sword.
The female corpse fell down into the River of Forgetfulness, and soon disappeared.
Gu Qingshan sighed, passed through the position originally occupied by the female corpse, and continued climbing up.
For some reason, his mood became a little depressed.
Practitioners are always different from other professions.
There is no profession that, when advancing, is struck by lightning every day, undergoes various disasters, is devastated, and is in danger of death every time.
Why are the Laws of the Six Paths so strict?
Is it natural selection? Or are you preparing for something else?
Gu Qingshan thought as he continued to climb up.
When he arrived in front of the third corpse, another slight law fluctuation between heaven and earth came down and fell on him.
"What happened?" Di Jian asked.
"Well... if you end the tribulation now, you will be stronger than before." Gu Qingshan said softly.
"But you won't end the Tribulation."
"right."
Gu Qingshan looked at the third corpse.
That was the body of an old man. He had already raised his head and looked at Gu Qingshan with a playful expression.
"Tsk, tsk, I finally looked forward to a new guy, but he is such an impulsive guy. Everyone is very unhappy." The old man said.
Gu Qingshan looked up.
All the corpses hanging on the trees opened their eyes and looked towards him.
"You know what? The first two guys are the weakest. If you can't come up with something that's enough to impress me, just die here." The old man said.
Trading is tantamount to cheating and will be directly disqualified.
No deal, only fight to the death.
Gu Qingshan shook his head slightly and opened his eyes to look at the dead bodies hanging on the branches.
He waved his hand and said loudly: "Hello to everyone, friends here, um, and friends over there."
The corpses stared at him.
Gu Qingshan cleared his throat and continued: "As for me, I'm in a bad mood right now, so I don't plan to continue talking to you."
"Seeing that you are all dead, I came this time to bring you a gift."
He drew out the Prison-Suppressing Ghost King Staff.
A red light lit up on the dark staff.
