Yu Wenji shook her head. It was her first time to enter the Demon Building. She had not entered the Demon Building before due to various reasons, and Huang Shengjie was not qualified.
"Only Duan Peng has entered the Demon Tower, but he is not easy to get along with." Yu Wenji touched the iconic matchmaker mole on her face and recalled it.
In the outer courtyard, only Duan Peng and Shang Ziqing have entered the Demon Tower. Now that Shang Ziqing has entered Zuowang Peak, Duan Peng is the only one left.
"Duan Peng?"
"Yes, this person is the second in the original outer court, behind Shang Ziqing. He is naturally very strong, but he is very weird."
"How weird?"
Yu Wenji curled her lips, remembering the way she saw Duan Peng at that time: "This man is a typical nerd, but I have been in the outer courtyard for so long, and I have never seen him take action, but everyone who has fought against him is Seriously injured."
This piece of Peng, either don't make a move, or make a killing move!
After listening to this, Gu Xiaotian thought about it. If it was as described by Yu Wenji, this Peng would be really difficult to get along with. To describe it in one sentence, he would be a lone ranger.
"But now, we really need Duan Peng to tell us about the Eighteen Demon Towers."
Gu Xiaotian thought for a moment, entering the Eighteen Demon Tower, they will always be teammates. Duan Peng has entered the Eighteen Demon Tower, so it is always best to know more about the mysteries inside.
Yu Wenji scratched her head, obviously not wanting Gu Xiaotian to see Duan Peng, but also considering entering the Eighteen Demon Tower, she could only bite the bullet and go to see Duan Peng with Gu Xiaotian.
Taibai's Ninth Courtyard is located behind the Elder's Courtyard. You can bypass the Elder's Courtyard and reach the Ninth Courtyard.
Yu Wenji stopped at the entrance of the first courtyard, which is the courtyard where Duan Peng lives now.
"Bang, bang, bang." Gu Xiaotian gently knocked on the courtyard door. He already knew that Duan Peng was not easy to get along with, so it was better to be careful in everything, so as not to be too careless and disturb others.
But there was no response from the hospital.
Gu Xiaotian waited for a while, while Yu Wenji next to her pouted, obviously thinking that Duan Peng was too pretentious, which showed how much she disliked Duan Peng.
Gu Xiaotian stepped forward again, but this time, the courtyard door opened by itself.
The courtyard is neat and orderly. A very tall tree is located in the center of the courtyard. Under the tree, there is a lounge chair. On the lounge chair is a young man reading a book.
Gu Xiaotian walked gently into the courtyard. When he saw the young man reading, he cupped his hands and said, "Gu Xiaotian, please bear with me if you disturb me."
The young man on the recliner was reading a book quietly. The hand that was not holding the book pressed down on Gu Xiaotian, signaling to Gu Xiaotian to be quiet and calm.
Gu Xiaotian also knew what he meant, so he stood there and waited with peace of mind.
Yu Wenji couldn't help it. Seeing Gu Xiaotian like this, she put her hands in her hands, shook her legs and looked at the young man on the recliner.
It wasn't until the boy turned the pages silently, then closed the book, that he stood up from the recliner and said, "I know you're coming, but it's not a good habit to disturb others while they're reading."
The young man in front of him has an expression like that of Guan Gong. He is powerful yet elegant and delicate, and his nine-inch body is enough to stand up to the sky and the earth.
"I offended you, please forgive me." Gu Xiaotian bowed and apologized to the other party.
Yu Wenji couldn't bear it any longer and opened her mouth to scold: "Duan Peng, we didn't come to you to cause trouble. Besides, we have been waiting for so long. Not only did you not let us sit down and take a sip of water, you even scolded us. we are coming?"
Duan Peng's face was calm, and he heard Yu Wenji continue to scold him. Instead, he stood and read a book, as if Yu Wenji was no longer scolding him.
Yu Wenji scolded her for a long time, and when she was tired of scolding, she sat down on the lounge chair under the shame tree.
When Duan Peng saw Yu Wenji sitting down to rest, he slowly walked into the room, brought out two bowls of water, and handed one to Yu Wenji first: "Drink when you are tired of scolding. It will help you relax."
Yu Wenji took the bowl and drank it with a lot of resentment.
Then Duan Peng handed another bowl to Gu Xiaotian. Gu Xiaotian took it respectfully, took a small sip, and held it silently.
"I know you came to me about the Eighteen Demon Tower."
"Yes, exactly. I wonder if Senior Brother Duan can tell you something about the inside of the Eighteen Demon Tower."
Duan Peng smiled, took back their bowls, turned back and walked into the room, and said, "No, please go back."
Gu Xiaotian never expected that Duan Peng would refuse so simply. He was not angry when he was interrupted while reading just now, and even gave the two of them water.
I originally thought that Duan Peng was not as difficult to get along with as Yu Wenji said, but in the end, he didn't give you a chance to get along with him and sent you back directly.
It's just that after coming, there is no reason to say leaving, isn't it just playing rogue, Gu Xiaotian is the best at it.
"Senior Brother Duan, wait a minute!" Gu Xiaotian shouted.
Duan Peng entered the house without looking back, but only after a while, he came out again.
There was also a book in his hand, and he handed the book to Gu Xiaotian's hand.
"I won't tell you what happened in the Demon Tower, but this book can tell you."
Gu Xiaotian stared at the book handed over by Duan Peng, which clearly read "Eighteen Demon Towers".
After turning the first page, Gu Xiaotian was stunned.
The book describes it this way: Eighteen Demon Towers, Taibai Forbidden Land.
Then, there is no more.
There are only eight words written in the whole book!
Gu Xiaotian stared at the book in his hand, with questions in his head, and said to Duan Peng: "Senior Brother Duan, is this... too hasty?"
When Duan Peng saw Dao Gu Xiaotian like this, he shook his head, with a bit of disdain in his tone: "No, it's clearly stated in the book. You can't understand it thoroughly. It's just because you haven't read enough."
Yu Wenji on the side didn't care about so much. She stood up, rolled up her sleeves, stretched out her hand, and put Duan Peng's shoulder behind her back: "Bookworm, we are all going to enter the Eighteen Demon Tower. There are teammates inside. You are like this." You won’t tell me that, why do you want me to beat you until you tell me?”
Duan Peng gently squeezed Yu Wenji's hand on his shoulder, put it down gently, and then patted his shoulder.
"I don't know how to fight. I said so. It's clearly written in the book."
"Bullshit! You don't know how to fight, how can you live in this ninth hospital? Don't talk nonsense to me, come and have a fight. If you beat me, we'll leave now."
Duan Peng continued to shake his head, with an upright look on his face: "I can only read, not fight."
Gu Xiaotian is also a little dissatisfied. After all, if you don't tell, you won't tell. Now, what's the point of humiliating himself with eight words?
"Senior Brother Duan, I just don't understand the meaning of these eight words."
"That's because you haven't read enough books. Reading books is ever-changing, and its meaning is self-evident."
Seeing that Duan Peng no longer explained, Gu Xiaotian had no choice but to grab Yu Wenji, who was still about to have a fight with Duan Peng, and hurriedly left.
In the courtyard, Duan Peng took out the book from his arms and lay down on the lounge chair under the shame tree. The leaves of shame fell on his shoulders and he ignored them. He concentrated on reading the book in his hand. After reading a page, he looked up at the shame tree. The tree murmured to himself: "I hope he can understand the mystery."
Outside the yard, Yu Wenji was still a little angry. She didn't like Duan Peng to begin with, but now that Duan Peng was perfunctory with them like this, her anger was even more intense.
"Xiaotian, please leave it alone. I will demolish this broken yard now."
"Okay, okay, I believe that Senior Brother Duan will not give this book for no reason." Gu Xiaotian advised.
In fact, after he came out, Gu Xiaotian thought about it carefully. Although Duan Peng seemed difficult to get along with, there must be a reason for someone who loves books so much to be willing to give books to him.
However, Duan Peng is still too arrogant. If he has anything to say, he can't just say it directly, he has to go round the bush.
Outside the hospital, the two received this book, which only had eight words, and there was no more.
But no information about the Eighteen Demon Towers was found.
The two of them parted ways and went back to their houses to rest.
At night, Gu Xiaotian took out the book Duan Peng gave him today from his pocket and read it repeatedly.
This book is not thick, but if it is full of words, it will still take some time to read it all.
But this book only has eight words.
Sitting on the bed, Gu Xiaotian looked at the book and suddenly thought of Duan Peng's words today, "Read the book a hundred times, and its meaning will become apparent."
Did I read too little, so I started to read these eight words silently, preparing to read them a hundred times. Anyway, they were all from time travel. Maybe this is what password or instruction is needed to display the words. The book can't tell.
However, Gu Xiaotian's imagination was still too big. He had read it silently a hundred times, but there were still only eight words, and no other words appeared at all.
After letting out a long sigh and lamenting his boring mind, Gu Xiaotian put down the book and did not intend to study it in depth.
In the past, he didn't like to study, and he only studied to cope with exams. But now in the world of warriors, he never expected that he would still have to study.
There were only five days left before entering the Eighteen Demon Tower. If he didn't get some information in these five days, how could he prevent the danger of entering the Eighteen Demon Tower? After thinking about it, Gu Xiaotian fell asleep.
Anyway, take one step and look at it. Gu Xiaotian has always been like this.
The books on the bedside emitted a glimmer of golden light at some point, but everyone had fallen asleep and no one knew.
That night, Gu Xiaotian had a dream. He had never seen the scene in the dream, but he could clearly feel that he was in Taibai. And this scene, from bottom to top, goes straight through the sky, with no end in sight. At the very end of this level, there is a staircase. The stairs are very high and seemingly endless. There is a mist blocking the middle, just like the stairs to ascend to immortality.
Before Gu Xiaotian could take a closer look at the scene, a monkey actually appeared next to him.
This monkey has a ferocious look on its face, sharp teeth and a sharp mouth. The color of its fur is different from that of ordinary monkeys. It is blood red. The nails on this monkey's hands are extremely long. Just by looking at it, you can tell that it cannot be caught by this monkey. , if he was caught, I'm afraid the scars would be quite deep, and if he was injured to a vital point, he might even die.
The monkey roared like a monster and rushed towards Gu Xiaotian. Gu Xiaotian broke into a cold sweat and hurriedly jumped into the air. However, his thigh was still scratched by the monkey, but he felt no pain in the dream. , the monkey continued to attack Gu Xiaotian. Gu Xiaotian couldn't dodge, and was severely scratched on the chest. He sat up from the bed suddenly. It was already dawn outside.
The next day, Gu Xiaotian continued to study the book until Yu Wenji came to Shiwu to find Gu Xiaotian.
Seeing that Gu Xiaotian was still studying the book, Yu Wenji said angrily: "What do you think this shabby book is for? Duan Peng has made it clear that he just doesn't want to tell us. He's using a shabby book to fool you. If you really want to You know, today I will call Huang Shengjie, and we will go find Duan Peng together. If he doesn’t say anything, we will fight him directly. The three of us can’t stand up to Duan Peng?”
Gu Xiaotian was still reading the book silently on the bed, staring at these eight words, studying them over and over again, without hearing Yu Wenji's jabbering.
Seeing that Gu Xiaotian was about to turn into a nerd, Yu Wenji couldn't bear it anymore, so she went up and slapped Gu Xiaotian on the forehead, which made Gu Xiaotian tremble with fear.
Then he closed the book and said with an apologetic smile on his face: "Mr. Tamami, you are here. I'm sorry. I was so absorbed in reading that I didn't notice you."
"Chief Yuwu, I don't think Duan Peng deceived us. I had a dream yesterday. The dream felt very real. It seemed to be told to me by this book." Gu Xiaotian pointed to the book in his hand, and then Explaining yesterday's dream, "Maybe, this is the mystery of this book."
