The staircase is still a staircase, but on this staircase, there is no one else except the two of them and Tang Bai; the monk who stood still on the stairs seems to have disappeared out of thin air, leaving no trace; even Tang Bai did not come back to his senses at this time, still standing quietly beside the two of them, motionless.

The two had some vague speculation, but neither was sure.

Yan Feifei shouted 'boy' to Tang Bai, and when she saw that Tang Bai didn't seem to hear it, she wanted to push him, but Xu Caifeng grabbed her.

Xu Caifeng said: "The sect master is fine, he is just shocked, and it is difficult to control himself. ”

As soon as she finished speaking, Tang Bai's face showed a sickly flush, and then a mouthful of blood spurted out.

In such a situation, the two of them couldn't help but scream, but Tang Bai slowly opened his eyes.

At this time, Tang Bai made people feel older than before, his cloudy eyes were like a layer of butter, without any luster, and he stood quietly on the stairs, as if a gust of wind could blow it away.

Yan Feifei asked anxiously, "Tang Bai, what's wrong with you?"

Tang Bai shook his head, looked at this step with cloudy eyes, and said lightly, "Let's go up again." After speaking, he took a step forward and wanted to climb the ladder.

But Yan Feifei stretched out her hand to grab him, and she said with tears in her eyes: "Tang Bai, I don't want that hammer anymore, let's go find the exit of the Divine Ruins, and let's go back to Lotus City." After saying that, she couldn't hold back her tears anymore.

Every time she saw Tang Bai's old and stiff appearance, she couldn't help crying with heartache, and this time, she finally couldn't help it.

This is her most affectionate and dear friend, this is the reliance she has experienced life and death, this is her only 'relative' in this world, but he is at the end of his life, and she can even feel his decaying body exuding the breath of death.

But there was nothing she could do.

Tang Bai sighed, like a kind elder, his thin palm stroked Yan Feifei's hair, his eyes were full of love, and then he turned his head to look at Xu Caifeng, and asked, "Caifeng Fairy, your 'Love Dao' technique, can you break the gong in a way?"

Xu Caifeng shook her head, she naturally knew what Tang Bai meant by this. She pondered for a while, and said calmly: "One life, two people live, one person dies, two people die, if you don't want me to die, then live well." ”

To live, for a passionate young person: to live is the easiest thing in the world, but for an old man who has reached the end of his life, to live is just an unattainable luxury.

In the world, everyone wants to live forever and immortally, and what they pursue is to live.

It's easy to live, but it's hard to live.

The three of them were silent, although they were monks, they couldn't get rid of the shackles of fate after all, the cycle of life and death, not to mention, Tang Bai's longevity was the longevity of his sacrifice.

Tang Bai didn't like this kind of dull depression very much, he thought about it, and couldn't help but say: "It's better for Fei Fei and Caifeng Fairy to go up and take down the hammer, while I wait here." ”

When the two women heard this, they both shook their heads.

Although Yan Feifei was very eager to get the iron handle, compared to Tang Bai's life, the iron hammer was not worth mentioning.

And since Xu Caifeng practiced the 'Tao of Love', Tang Bai was her heaven and her earth, and she didn't want to leave Tang Bai for a moment; she fell in love with Tang Bai, and could faintly sense Tang Bai's thoughts, so she said: "Fei Fei, you go up! ”

Yan Feifei still shook her head.

Xu Caifeng said again: "The sect master's strength is weakened now, and his qi and blood are exhausted, but he is still alive, and he will rely on your protection in the future; ”

When Tang Bai heard this, he remembered the scene when he was a teenager, when Yan Feifei took a group of wild boys and claimed the king, he couldn't help but smile slightly, and said, "Caifeng Fairy is right, you are the eldest sister." ”

Tang Bai's sentence of 'eldest sister' made Yan Feifei's eyes shoot a strange light, she has a natural liking for this title, for a while, she wiped away her tears, and suddenly became proud; looking at the two of them, she raised her head, and Lang Lang said: "In this case, you two will wait here, and when I take down the hammer, it will naturally cover you at that time." ”

Xu Caifeng looked at Yan Feifei with a strange expression, she didn't know why Tang Bai said 'eldest sister', Yan Feifei seemed to be a completely different person.

Yan Feifei looked up at the hammer that flashed with thunder on the altar, then turned her head to look at Tang Bai again, and asked, "What did you just say... ？”

Tang Bai smiled faintly: "Big sister." ”

Yan Feifei nodded, took a step, and stepped on the stairs in front of her.

This staircase was different from the previous one, there was no one on this staircase, and after Yan Feifei stepped on the staircase, it was like passing through an invisible portal, and disappeared without a trace in an instant.

Xu Caifeng looked at Yan Feifei who had disappeared, and couldn't help muttering, "Feifei is alone, will she be in danger?"

Tang Bai quietly looked at the stairs in front of him, and said lightly: "If a young bird wants to fly high, it must bear the danger of falling from a high altitude; any danger needs to be bravely faced; animals are like this, and so are people; only in this way can people continue to be strong." When he had finished speaking, he could not help coughing, the kind of hysterical cough, his slightly hunched back, which became more convex because of the coughing, like the hump of a desert camel, and in the sound of his exhaustive cough, blood overflowed from his mouth, staining the placket of his clothes and the bluestone on the stairs.

Xu Caifeng looked at him worriedly, then stretched out her slender jade hand, like a gentle wife, and gently beat his back.

The cough stopped for a long time, and Tang Bai sat on the stairs without any image, panting heavily.

Xu Caifeng finally understood why Tang Bai wanted Yan Feifei to go alone, not because he was flying high as a young bird in his mouth, but because he no longer had the strength to open the way for her;

Xu Caifeng sighed and said, "Are you injured again?"

Tang Bai was already seriously injured, but now the injuries seem to be even more serious.

In the previous space, she and Yan Feifei were together, and they didn't know what Tang Bai had experienced in this space.

She wanted to ask, but she didn't open her mouth, she knew that if a man wanted to share his affairs with you, then even if the woman didn't ask, the man would confide in you, on the contrary, if a man didn't want to say, the answer you got was nothing more than a lie carefully woven by men.

Lies are sweet, but they are deception after all.

She used to be the Oiran of the Emerald Red Mansion, so she naturally understood the thoughts of men: men, when they are fragile, are like a stubborn child, and Tang Bai is like this at this time.

She squatted down, opened her hands, and gently hugged Tang Bai in her arms.

She doesn't have any lust between men and women, she just wants to give the man in front of her a little comfort like a mother.

Tang Bai was stunned at first, but when he came back to his senses, he could feel Xu Caifeng's thoughts, which was a kind of pure warmth.

His body involuntarily relaxed, his heart that had been tense was slowly relaxed, he smelled the woman's body fragrance, strange and familiar, making him feel as if he had returned to his childhood, lying quietly in Murong Xiuxiu's arms, no trouble, no sorrow, no pain, no loneliness, yes, just the warmth that makes people fall asleep.

He felt a little sleepy, his relaxed body and mind seemed to fall asleep, only the consciousness in his mind still had a faint thought, perhaps, I am really old.
