Xiao Zi nodded the fox's head, and said with an indifferent expression: "Actually, he is a demon who has cultivated for ten thousand years, but he just got the opportunity and absorbed half of the dragon's blood." ”

Saying that, Xiao Zi looked at the Lotus Emperor on the side, and said in a somewhat instructive tone: "Because of the dragon's blood, you will feel the suppression of the bloodline." If you let go of your hand and fight him, he is not your opponent, so you are too cautious to blame for all this! ”

Emperor Lotus saluted a little embarrassed for a while: "What Xiaozi's predecessors taught is that!" ”

Xiao Zi turned her head and wagged her tail while staring at the piece of clothing on Bai Pod's body: "I can't imagine that it has been so long, it was just an ordinary piece of clothing that that person worn, and it was actually trained into a first-class baby by you!" ”

Bai Pod's eyes also fell on his clothes, with a look of remembrance in his eyes: "I'm afraid if he hadn't saved me, I'm afraid I would have been out of this world a long time ago." This dress was also left by him, and I just thought about it! ”

Xiao Zi saw that Bai Pod's tone was wrong, so he moved his gaze to the palace door: "Oh? What's the matter, why did the two of them come to Qingqiu, and still bow down like this?"

Emperor Lian replied: "This should be the talisman paper given to them by the previous successor master Daoyi." This prompted them to break through the void leading to Qingqiu, so they were able to come here. ”

Saying that, the Lotus Emperor raised his hand and waved, and Guo Jia's scene outside emerged: "And he came to beg me to wake up a sleeping demon in that fan." ”

Xiao Ziming didn't pay too much attention to them: "Okay, you can play any way, but don't break him in Qingqiu!" ”

Emperor Lian understood what Xiaozi meant, as long as Guo Jia didn't die.

Bai Pod also glanced at Guo Jia, and then lost interest: "Xiao Zi, I'll go back and continue cultivating first!" ”

Xiao Zi didn't leave her and nodded, and the white pod turned into a silver dragon and left.

Seeing that Bai Pod was gone, Xiao Zi said to the Lotus Emperor with a serious expression: "Regarding those demons who left Qingqiu, you said that they went to the Demon Emperor's command, but I didn't find them!" ”

The Lotus Emperor's face changed: "Impossible!" Those demons who broke away from Qingqiu, it is impossible not to go to the Demon Emperor! When I fought with that demon emperor, I had seen those demons who broke away from Qingqiu! It's impossible not to be there! ”

Xiao Zi's wagging tail froze, and she lowered her head to think: "So, where did those demons go?"

Emperor Lian frowned and recalled what had happened without thinking. Moreover, the strength of those demons who left Qingqiu is not weak, and they are also a force to be reckoned with when organized. After thinking to no avail, Emperor Lian shook her head and said that she didn't know either.

"Forget it, let's talk about it later! If they really want to hide, it will be difficult for us to find them, so we can ask the Taoist people to help keep an eye on them! ”

Xiao Zi also gave up thinking, this matter is suspicious no matter what.

The Lotus Emperor stopped thinking, and she nodded respectfully.

Xiao Zi looked in Guo Jia's direction and thought about it for a while, and decided: "Let him live a little longer!" ”

After speaking, Xiao Zi tore open the void again and left Qingqiu.

Emperor Lian stood there and watched the void heal before she looked away, and she turned her head to look at Guo Jia, who had reached more than one hundred and thirty steps.

…………

At this time, from the foot of the mountain to the mountainside, Guo Jia was repeating kneeling, bowing, and getting up for I don't know how many times.

There were several holes in his knees, and his clothes were slightly torn elsewhere on the front.

Guo Jia stood up panting, sweat dripping down like raindrops on the steps.

Yang Wei at the foot of the mountain saw that Guo Jia's back was shrinking, and she had stood up again when she was gone.

I wanted to climb the stairs to help Guo Jia, but as soon as she lifted one foot, she was shocked back by an invisible force before she stepped on the steps.

Aunt Su noticed Yang Wei's actions, her body fell, and she walked quickly to her side, stopping Yang Wei, who didn't believe in evil and wanted to try.

"Don't try it, you can only step on this ladder if you have permission to do it!"

Yang Wei stopped, looked down at Aunt Su, who had saved Guo Jia, and hurriedly asked, "Allowed?" So how can you get permission?"

Aunt Su put her hand on her hand, and slowly injected her soft spiritual power into Yang Wei's body, helping her stabilize her spiritual power that was chaotic due to emotions, and at the same time brushed Yang Wei's hand and wiped the wound on her palm.

She turned her head to look at Guo Jia's kneeling figure, with a little sorrow on her immature cheeks: "This can only be given by Her Majesty the Empress, and you have the right to climb up." If you don't have the permission of Her Majesty the Empress, if you want to step on it, you must fight back! ”

said the latter sentence, Aunt Su warned Yang Wei with a serious face, for fear that she would mess around.

Yang Wei gritted her teeth and clenched her hands unconsciously.

She looked up at the thin figure of kneeling, bowing, and in the sun, and couldn't bear to say, "How can I get permission?"

Aunt Su shook her little head, and the deer's ears drooped, indicating that she had no choice.

Yang Wei stared at Guo Jia with her eyes, she was very worried about Guo Jia's physical condition, thinking that Aunt Su had also saved Guo Jia, so she asked, "Excuse me, if Guo Jia is with his body...... Will you be able to make it to the palace on the top of the hill?"

Aunt Su didn't think about it, and shook her head directly and decisively: "If you let him climb like this, he won't bow down, and there will be no coercion." It is very difficult to get to the palace on the top of the mountain, not to mention that he is still kneeling and worshipping, and it is not whether there is coercion. ”

Yang Wei doesn't understand, isn't it just 900 ladders? What's so hard about going up? And what is coercion?

"Isn't it just nine hundred steps? What's so difficult? And what's the deal with that coercion?" Yang Wei looked at Aunt Su anxiously.

Aunt Su also looked at Yang Wei a little puzzled and asked, "Who did you hear say that it is nine hundred ladders?"

Seeing that there was something hidden in this matter, Yang Wei's face became even more anxious, and she grabbed Aunt Su's little arm with both hands, and hurriedly asked, "It's the Lord He who brought us here!" ”

Aunt Su's immature cheeks had a look of pain, and Yang Wei immediately realized that she had lost her temper, hurriedly let go of her hand, and apologized repeatedly.

Aunt Su looked at the two red palm prints left on her pink arm, and used her spiritual power to disperse the palm, and at the same time breathed a sigh of relief.

Knowing that it was Xiaohe who told Yang Wei, she also relaxed: "It turned out that Lord He said it, so that's fine." ”

Yang Wei saw that Aunt Su had been playing dumb riddles with her, and her tears were about to come out. Thinking that there was indeed something hidden in this matter, he kept stomping his feet, and his voice trembled: "Please tell me quickly, is Guo Jia in danger, is there any other secret secret?" ”

Aunt Su was about to cry when she saw that she was in a hurry, and explained a little helplessly: "...... In fact, there should be a total of 9,981 ladders on this ladder! ”

Yang Wei's body froze suddenly, and her pupils suddenly shrank: "Nine...... Nine thousand nine hundred and eighty-one ladders!?"

She looked at the palace about the size of her thumb on the top of the hill again, and it didn't look like it!

Seeing the doubts in her eyes, Aunt Su continued to explain: "Actually, this ladder is a test set by the first empress!" ”

…………

In fact, the rabbit also knows about the origin of this ladder.

This is the ladder is the first empress, that is, Sister Mengyu, when Qingqiu was first built. attracted the dissatisfaction of the demons, so they all came to challenge the rain emperor.

It was impossible for Emperor Yu to fight one by one, so he set up these steps of more than 9,000 steps, and now the power of this step is actually less than one thousandth of the previous one.

In the past, the first step was a kind of demon, and when you stepped on it, you would encounter an illusion, in which you would fight the demon, and only if you won could you go to the next step.

And the higher the steps, the stronger the demon power in the illusion becomes, and the first ladder is about a hundred years of growth. A hundred years doesn't seem to be strong, but the first step stumped a lot of demons.

Because the first step is 10,000 years.

From the beginning to the present, except for the first empress, the rain emperor, who has walked all the steps. There is no demon who has finished walking, even if the other empresses in Qingqiu still can't finish.

After Qingqiu stabilized, Emperor Yu took action to seal the ladder, and if you want to break through, you only need to unlock the seal.

In addition to the assessment of the empresses of previous dynasties, no demon dares to break through this ladder.

Although this ladder is sealed, there is still a trace of coercion on it, and the higher the same goes, the greater the coercion.

After Aunt Su was about to pay attention to it, Yang Wei became even more anxious, and she walked back and forth at a loss: "Isn't that husband not only going to climb the nine thousand nine hundred and eighty-one ladders, but also to bear the pressure?" How could he succeed!? No, no! Absolutely not......"

Aunt Su saw that Yang Wei had the urge to break through the steps again, so she immediately went up to stop her and said, "Your husband is not on the 9,000 ladders, but on the 981 ladders, and I guess there should be no coercion on it!" ”

Saying that, she hurriedly pointed to Guo Jiadao, who was still advancing: "If there is coercion, I'm afraid his speed will slow down a lot at the hundredth order, you see that his speed has not slowed down now." ”

Aunt Su lowered her little brain, and analyzed with a slight frown: "And his body is not good." That's why he said that he only had to climb the 981st step, so he must only have to climb the 981st step. ”

Yang Wei couldn't help but think of what Xiaohe said: There will be no more first-order, and there will be no less first-order. She now understands what this sentence means, it turns out that Guo Jia only needs to climb more than 900 ladders, and does not need to climb all of them at all.

At the same time, according to Aunt Su's analysis, there was no coercion above, which made Yang Wei see a lot of hope, but she was still worried: "Then I wonder if my husband has any hope of success?"

Aunt Su was silent for a second, nodded, and said in a childish voice with a little laughter: "I gave him a drink of spiritual dew, and I should be able to support him to the top of the mountain, but it still depends on his willpower and determination!" ”

Yang Wei suddenly said to herself: "Willpower...... Determination ......"

…………

At this time, Guo Jia's face was a little pale, and he could feel that his body had begun to feel a little heavy. And this constant kneeling down also caused the muscles to ache and pain.

Guo Jia didn't know how many steps he had knelt on, and at this time he only had the goal in front of him: that is, to climb to the top of the mountain to save Huang Wei!

Guo Jia didn't know that his palms were already bleeding.

He only felt that his palm was numb, and if it weren't for the blood flowing out, I'm afraid he wouldn't have known that his hand was broken.

For some reason, his heart was so peaceful now, as if it had never been so peaceful.

Guo Jia only has a goal in his eyes, and he only has a desperate determination to achieve the goal in his heart, regardless of whether he will fail or not, and he does not think about the result.

This feeling made Guo Jia feel a little bit like he hadn't seen it for a long time, as if he had such a desperate heart before. But I can't remember when I ever had it.
