Among the beautiful mountains and rivers, a man in white was alone, riding a horse.

He kept beating the horses with the reins, so that the horses were as fast as thunder, and the objects in front of him changed rapidly.

When he was tired, he rested by the roadside, ate dry food, drank river water, and looked into the distance.

The feeling of being alone is very peculiar. When there are people around, I don't feel that when I am really alone, this strange feeling will fill my body.

He is now light, unfettered, with nothing to look forward to, and nothing to let go. The sky is high and the earth is wide, and he can trust the horse and do whatever he wants.

If he wants to live in this mountain and water, he will live in this mountain and water, and if he wants to concentrate on the way of the sword, he will only study the way of the sword.

But... He may not seem to be absolutely freewheeling.

He still bears the legacy of the deceased. The master asked him to use the sword in his hand to act chivalrous and uphold the right path. Qiqi wants him to live well and not be decadent.

He doesn't have any wishes of his own, everything is given to him by others, and of course, he is also happy to carry it and does not feel heavy.

In other words, he enjoyed the heaviness very much, and enjoyed that there were still people under the Nine Springs who were in contact with his soul from afar.

So he still has a goal now-

Practice swords well, live well, and act chivalrous and righteous well.

After resting enough, he mounted his horse and continued on his journey.

······

The woman finally reached the top of Tianji Mountain.

When she was able to endure the sharp pain of the piercing palm and hold the iron needle flower in her hand, the result was already doomed.

The moment she climbed to the top, her body and mind could finally be completely relaxed, and this relaxation made her fall to the ground and unable to get up.

The eyelids could not be opened, and they closed slowly and irrepressibly, and the vision gradually blurred.

She was not crushed by this exhaustion, on the contrary, a faint smile appeared on the corner of her mouth.

It's good to finally succeed.

Then he closed his eyes completely.

Not long after she fell unconscious, two disciples of the Heavenly Machine Pavilion dressed in black came and brought her to the pavilion.

Everyone who has the courage and strength to climb to the top of Tianji Mountain, no matter what happens later, will be treated by Tianji Pavilion, and Tianji Pavilion will treat the injuries they suffered because of climbing.

This is their Heavenly Machine Pavilion's hospitality to warriors.

There are countless elixirs in Tianji Pavilion, and it is easy to treat hand injuries.

Climbing the 333-zhang Tianji Mountain, the woman was physically and mentally exhausted to the extreme, and this coma was a full seven days before she woke up.

When she awoke, she found herself sleeping in a wooden house in the mountains, surrounded by silence, with birds chirping in the woods, and the sun shining through the leaves on the forest ground, and the air was very fresh.

She glanced at her gauze-wrapped hand, straining slightly, but she couldn't feel the pain.

"It's pierced by spikes like that, and it's definitely not going to get better without a month, so why doesn't it hurt...?" she muttered.

Looking around, the furnishings in the room were very simple, she got out of bed and found that she was wearing a brand new green dress, could it be that someone changed her clothes every day?

Is it male or female?

She couldn't help but wrap her clothes tightly, and she felt a sense of discomfort in her heart as if she was being seen through.

After walking out of the house, the direct sunlight made her feel slightly uncomfortable, and she couldn't open her eyes a little, and it took a while to get used to it, when two people who were walking together walked towards her, to be precise, it should be towards the room next to her, but it was inevitable to face her.

The two laughed, "Girl, are you awake?"

The woman was slightly stunned, paused, and asked, "You... Is it...?"

"Hehe, we are also people who climbed this Tianji Mountain like you, and we have lived here for a few days. Tianji Pavilion will settle us in these wooden houses in the forest, so that we can be entertained. We've been visiting around in this pavilion for the past few days, and we're so happy!" said the two of them, looking at each other and laughing.

"I see, that's... Are you here just to see what to see?" the woman asked.

"Haha, not really. Originally, we had the idea of becoming a disciple of Tianji Pavilion, but we couldn't accept that condition, so we refused. Tianji Pavilion won't force us to do anything, so we plan to stay here for a while, and then we will go down the mountain," the two said.

"By the way," the two of them remembered, and then said, "when we go down the mountain, we don't need to climb it as we did when we came, the Heavenly Machine Pavilion will point out a hidden mountain path that is not steep, and we can walk down the mountain directly from there." ”

"Well, thank you for the reminder," the woman thanked.

"Well, is there anything else the girl wants to ask?" the two laughed.

"How do you find the people from the Heavenly Machine Pavilion from here?" the woman asked.

The two of them pointed to the way they came, and said with a smile, "When you go down this hill, you can see the people of their Tianji Pavilion." ”

"Thank you," the woman laughed, and walked down the hill.

When I walked up, I found that my body didn't seem to have any discomfort because of the seven days of being in a coma, and I was able to move quite freely, no different from usual.

Thinking about it, it was also the handiwork of the people of Tianji Pavilion, thinking like this, I couldn't help but be more curious about the Tianji Pavilion covered with a veil of mystery.

The hill is indeed a hill, and it takes less than a stick of incense to come to the flat land.

And from afar, you can see the disciples of Tianji Pavilion practicing martial arts in the distance, and the sound of "sonorous" martial arts training is endless.

The woman walked towards it.

The disciples of Tianji Pavilion have long been accustomed to having outsiders haunt their own territory from time to time, so when someone passes by, they only focus on the matter at hand.

However, when the woman approached, the disciples couldn't help but stop and look at the woman.

There was a hint of amazement in his eyes.

The woman is wearing an emerald green long skirt, her figure is slender and slender, like a tall pine and cypress in the forest, slim and elegant, her black hair hangs down to her waist, and her delicate and bright facial features make people feel excited.

You must know that most of the people who can climb Tianji Mountain are men, and there are only a handful of women who can climb to the top and look good and are so good-looking.

Or you don't have to bend your fingers.

There is only one woman in the green dress in front of her.

These days, the disciples of the Heavenly Machine Pavilion couldn't help but swallow with difficulty when they looked at the woman's pretty face and tall figure, and after a long time, a disciple stepped forward and said, "I don't know if this girl has something?"

As soon as these words came out, other disciples immediately chimed in: "I am willing!"

"I do!"

"I do, too!"

The woman was stunned for a moment, then covered her mouth and giggled, this smile couldn't help but be charming, and the flowers in the forest lost their color in an instant.

These days, the disciples of the Machine Pavilion were stunned, and their hearts beat drums.

Some stabbed the people around them and said, "Hey, wipe your saliva, it's all left!"

After laughing, the woman looked at the Tianji Pavilion disciple in front of her and said, "I want to join the Tianji Pavilion, I don't know what I should do?"

When these Heavenly Machine Pavilion disciples heard this, they all jumped up.

"That's a good dare!"

But then I became lonely again. Joining Tianji Pavilion means accepting that condition. They didn't want the woman in front of them to fall into it.

So for a while, all the disciples of the Heavenly Machine Pavilion were silent.

The woman couldn't help but be stunned and asked, "What's wrong with you?"

The disciple in front of her thought for a moment and said, "Girl... But are you really sure you want to join our Tianji Pavilion?

The woman's eyes suddenly condensed, like a sharp sword, causing the surrounding Heavenly Machine Pavilion disciples to tremble, "If I don't make up my mind, how can I climb the first mountain in the world?"

Hearing this, the disciples of the Heavenly Machine Pavilion all nodded, and then the disciple said, "Since that's the case, then the girl will come with me." ”

"Hmm," the woman nodded faintly and followed the Heavenly Machine Pavilion disciple towards the huge black pavilion in the distance.

And the disciples of the Heavenly Machine Pavilion who looked at the woman's shadow gradually moving away, a trace of regret flashed in their eyes.

What a gorgeous flower, I'm afraid... It's going to be gone.

······

The main hall of the Tianji Pavilion.

After the disciple of the Heavenly Machine Pavilion brought the woman here, he said, "The girl can wait here" and left.

The woman looked ahead, and saw that there were already several outsiders like her in front of her, and in front of them was a mysterious person who was completely hidden in a black robe.

I can't see my face clearly, I can't see my body clearly, I don't know if it's a man or a woman, I don't know if it's fat or thin.

An extremely low voice full of vicissitudes of life came from the black-robed mouth, "This chivalrous warrior, are you ready to bear the poisonous Gu technique?"

The woman was slightly stunned.

"I'm ready," the man said firmly.

"Let me remind you again," the black-robed man said, "after this poisonous Gu enters your body, it will bring pain that is worse than death, it will erode your body and destroy your mind. If you don't have absolute perseverance, I'd suggest you don't make this decision. ”

"Your Excellency, don't say it, I've already decided!" said the man categorically.

The black-robed man looked at the man, was silent for a while, and then nodded, "Okay, Chivalrous Warrior Yongye!" After the poisonous Gu enters the body, if you can hold on to twenty fingers, you will be considered qualified, and you can join our Tianji Pavilion." During this period, you can choose to stop at any time, and I will remove the poison Gu from your body, and that means that you have lost the opportunity to join the Heavenly Machine Pavilion. ”

"Do you understand?"

"Understood!" the man nodded heavily.

"And after you become a member of the Heavenly Machine Pavilion, it means that the poisonous Gu will remain in your body for eternity, living and dying with you. On weekdays, it won't affect you in any way. But if my pavilion finds out that you have a different heart, I will detonate the poisonous Gu in your body, so that your life is worse than death, and your soul will be destroyed!"

The man said, "Your Excellency, come on, if I can join the Heavenly Machine Pavilion, how can I have two hearts?"

"Hmm," the black-robed man nodded and said, "In addition, this poisonous Gu can only flow in your body for a maximum of forty snaps of fingers, if you can hold on to all these times, then not only can you join the Heavenly Machine Pavilion, but you can also get special treatment, and..."

"This poisonous Gu will be completely integrated into your body, greatly improving your physique!"

Hearing this, a flash of light flashed in the man's eyes, "There is such a thing?!"

"Well, then... Are you ready?" the black-robed man asked again.

"Alright!" the man said categorically.

Hearing this, the black-robed man stretched out a thin, swarthy arm from his sleeve, and in front of the man, his palm was spread out, revealing a small black worm, slowly wriggling in his hand.

"Take it," the black-robed man said slowly.

The man hesitated for a moment, gritted his teeth, and took it down.

Grunt.

Black worms into the body.

The next moment.

"Ahhhh

A heart-rending cry resounded throughout the huge black pavilion, and the corners of the other people in the pavilion and the woman who was watching from behind couldn't help but twitch the corners of their mouths.

Just now, this person was so sworn and sonorous, but as soon as this poisonous Gu entered his body, he was so embarrassed.

This... How painful does this have to be?

The man knelt on the ground, his head buried deep in his arms, his face twitching, and his bare limbs were exposed.

The black-robed man faced the man, his dry and slender fingers drawing circles in the air, and every time his fingers swiped, the man's whole body trembled violently and let out a miserable scream.

His face was hidden under a black robe, making it impossible to see his expression.

The man rolled on the ground, his face hideous, his hands frantically tearing at the clothes on his body, scratching at the clothes so that they were torn to pieces, and the skin inside was also torn out of scarlet blood.

Everyone gasped and didn't dare to look at it again.

After the five flicks of his fingers, the man had rolled from the middle of the cabinet to the edge, his clothes had been torn apart, his whole body was covered with blood, and not a single skin was intact.

His countenance was distorted to an indescribable level, and fine beads of sweat overflowed his forehead.

The black-robed man just ignored the man, and wherever the man rolled, his gaze followed. That withered finger kept drawing circles in the air.

Just as he was about to make the next lap.

"Stop!"

The man stretched out his hand and shouted.

Everyone was stunned and looked at him.

The black-robed man's fingers also paused in mid-air.

"I can't take it anymore! I throw in the towel! I give up! Take it out of my body! Quick!"

The black-robed man's fingers moved slightly, and the man made a "uh" sound, his chest twitched, and a small black object flew out of his mouth, through the air and back into the black-robed man's hand.

"You failed, Tianji Pavilion, I have nothing to do with you. ”

The black-robed man said lightly.

The man was slumped on the ground, his eyes were hollow, his mouth was "babbling", and he couldn't speak.
