Lao Fei helped Yan Xiaoying up and took off his clothes for the latter, leaving only a black wrap and pants off.

Probably because of her usual exercise, her body is very good, and there is no trace of excess fat.

What makes us feel strange is that around Yan Xiaoying's waist, there is a black belt wrapped around the flesh.

On top of the black belt hung a palm-sized bag.

Lao Fat took off the bag, and when he opened it, he found that it was actually a tool bag, which contained several small and delicate knives, the knives were very sharp, and they glowed with cold light in the faint light.

In addition to the knife, there are several iron needles as thick as little fingers.

"It's ...... Hidden weapon!? ”

Lao Fei and I glanced at each other, and we couldn't help but swallow a mouthful of saliva, I had known Yan Xiaoying for so long, and I never knew that she would use a secret weapon.

This woman was hidden too deeply, and the tool bag containing the hidden weapon was hidden close to her body, and if she hadn't taken off her clothes, she wouldn't have been able to find it at all.

Terrible woman.

The corners of Lao Fei's mouth twitched twice, and he put the tool bag aside.

At that moment, I used the knife in Yan Xiaoying's tool bag to dig up wood chips on the wooden wall and come back to make a fire to keep warm.

Lao Fei took a Yan Xiaoying's blouse, went out of the passage and moistened it with rainwater, and applied it to the latter's forehead to reduce the burn.

The fire was lit, and Lao Fei and I sat around the fire to keep warm.

They were silent and speechless all night.

Early the next morning, Yan Xiaoying woke up and turned around.

After the clothes were dried, we had already secretly dressed her, and no one said anything at this time.

Hungry, the three of them sat together.

Yan Xiaoying had a high fever and rested for a night, and her face improved at this time.

"Now...... What are you two going to do? ”

After a long silence, I asked Lao Fei and Yan Xiaoying.

"What are you going to do?" The old fat asked me suspiciously.

"Do you want to leave or stay here?" I asked.

"Aren't you talking nonsense, there is nothing to eat, Lao Tzu is very hungry now, can't you starve to death if you don't leave?" The old fat pouted.

I nodded and turned my head to look at Yan Xiaoying.

The latter groaned, then looked up at me and asked lightly, "What about you?" ”

"I'm not leaving."

I smiled and said, "I sensed that something in the palace above was calling me, this is my life, even if I leave, I can't hide from it, in this case, it is better to find out." ”

Yan Xiaoying's expression was a little complicated, and finally sighed lightly: "Do you believe in fate? ”

"I don't believe it, but there are some things that I can't help but do, but that's not my fate." I replied.

"What bullshit?"

Lao Fei rolled his eyes and said, "If you don't leave, then Xiao Ying and I will leave, the two of us have only been in our two decades, and we haven't lived enough, right, Xiao Ying." ”

"What nonsense."

Yan Xiaoying glared at Lao Fei and said coldly: "If you talk nonsense again, I will cut off your tongue, and if you want to leave, I won't stop you, but I will go to Lin Miao." ”

She paused, and then said: "I went to the Gu Clan with him to steal the Bailing Pill at the beginning, and I also brought him out of the 100,000 Great Mountain, but now his life and death are unknown, and I will not leave." ”

She said it categorically, and no one could be persuaded to do so.

I felt ashamed in my heart when I heard this, after all, they went to the Gu Clan to steal the Bailing Pill to save me, and it was I who brought Lin Miao out......

"In that case, let's go, there are three forks in the middle of this passage, and perhaps the other two forks have a path to the palace above."

Without further ado, I stood up, walked into the passageway, and walked back.

After a night's rest, the injury recovered a lot, and last night the blisters in the burned area were all broken, and at this time I walked with a dull pain.

Yan Xiaoying followed me, she was in good physical condition, and her previous coma was only caused by huge consumption.

After a night's rest, her mental head looked even better than mine.

But the old fat, because of hunger in his belly, with a sad face, followed behind with a large bag of things.

Soon we were in front of the three forks.

"Which one?" I asked Yan Xiaoying.

The remaining two tree cavity passages don't look like the one we came out of, at least not on the surface.

"Go one of them first, and if we find something wrong, we'll go back." Yan Xiaoying pondered for a long time, and finally spoke.

I nodded, naturally I didn't have any opinion on Yan Xiaoying's decision.

The two of us walked into one of the passages, footsteps sounded behind us, and when I turned my head to see Lao Fei following without hurry, I asked with some amusement, "Aren't you leaving?" From here, there is a wooden plank road outside, and you can go down to the bottom along the wooden plank road, why not go? ”

"What nonsense?"

Lao Fei rolled his eyes and said, "Is Lao Tzu the kind of person who is not righteous?" Everyone Xiaoying has said that Lin Miao's life and death are unknown now, and as brothers, we naturally can't leave him alone. ”

"That's nice, you're afraid of going down the boardwalk and encountering a strange snake, right?" I laughed.

"Fuck your shit, Lao Tzu is not the kind of person who is greedy for life and afraid of death, mainly because he is afraid that you are in danger. You see that you are not lightly injured one by one, without Lao Tzu, even if you can find Lin Miao's wood, what can you do to fight with the witch maiden of the Gu clan? ”

……

We made a few torches out of sawdust, and the three of us walked deeper into the passage without encountering any danger.

After walking for a while, the passage sloped straight up.

Looks like we've made the right choice.

I don't know how long I walked up, it seemed like an hour, and it seemed like I didn't see the end of the tree hole after most of the day.

In the end we were exhausted, mainly because we were too hungry.

After stopping for about half an hour, the three of them continued on their way.

It wasn't long before we finally saw the exit.

It is said to be an exit, but it is actually a crack in the tree, and the wind pours in from the outside.

The three of them came to the rift and looked outside, but they didn't know how high it was from the ground.

There was a half-meter-wide platform outside the crack, and when I looked closely, I realized that this platform was actually a huge Ganoderma lucidum growing from the surface of the tree.

Reishi mushroom is umbrella-shaped, vermilion, and has a very hard texture, like a stone.

Lao Fei wanted to gnaw on Ganoderma lucidum to satisfy his hunger, but his teeth were crushed, leaving only a shallow tooth mark on it.

"Such a big Ganoderma lucidum, it should be worth a lot of money when sold, right?" He muttered as he grinded his teeth, and came up with the idea of Lingzhi.

"Don't think about it, it's just an ordinary fungus Ganoderma lucidum that grows on the body of a tree."

Yan Xiaoying hit mercilessly on the side, and then her gaze suddenly froze, she lowered her body to look at it, and said in a deep voice: "There are dry blood stains in this passage, obviously someone has been here." ”

I stood cautiously on top of the Ganoderma lucidum, and when I looked down, I couldn't help but gasp, it was too high, and the clouds below were misty, and I couldn't see the ground.

My legs trembled, and I quickly retreated into the crack passage, holding on to my heart, and taking deep breaths continuously.

At this time, Yan Xiaoying walked out, she glanced around, suddenly frowned and said in a deep voice: "A ladder composed of Lingzhi that grows outside the surface of the tree, Cloud Ladder Heavenly Palace!" ”

"What Cloud Ladder Heavenly Palace?"

Lao Fat and I were confused and didn't know why.

Yan Xiaoying, who was standing outside, was silent, only to see her legs arched slightly, and suddenly jumped to the side.

Her behavior frightened me and Lao Fei in surprise, you must know that we are now above the endless sky. She jumped like this, in case she fell, was there any chance of survival?

"Come out, the way to the Heavenly Palace has been found, but I don't know if you have the courage to go!"

Just when we were shocked and inexplicable, Yan Xiaoying's voice suddenly came from outside.

When Lao Fei and I heard this, we immediately cautiously probed to look and found that Yan Xiaoying was standing on top of another huge Ganoderma lucidum at the moment, and the strong wind blew her clothes with a loud sound.

"It's ......"

Seeing the situation outside, Lao Fei and I were completely shocked.

I saw huge Ganoderma lucidum growing on the surface of the tree outside, and the Ganoderma lucidum was like a step-by-step ladder, extending upwards without end.

"Are you planning to use these Lingzhi to go to the Heavenly Palace above?" The old fat grunted and asked with a trembling voice.

"Not bad!"

After Yan Xiaoying stabilized her body, she turned her head to us and said, "There are blood stains in this place, it is obvious...... Someone has gone to it with the help of these lingzhi before us, maybe Lin Miao, or someone else, we have to hurry. ”

"Damn, this is fucking crazy!"

The old fat body trembled, and his face turned pale and said, "This road...... Who would dare to go? If you're not careful, you'll fall into a place where you won't be able to recover, and it's windy outside......"

In the end, the old fat was almost speechless.

"Or else? Where the mountain god Niangniang lives, do you think anyone can go up? This may just be a small test for us, and we don't even have this kind of courage, so I think you should go back! ”

Yan Xiaoying glanced at me as she spoke, turned around and jumped towards another piece of Lingzhi again.

Her actions undoubtedly startled us again.

Who dares to walk such a road, it is more dangerous than walking a tightrope on a cliff, if there is no wind, it is good, we are in the sky, the wind is fast.

If nothing else, just looking at the endless abyss beneath your feet is enough to scare people.

But is there any other choice for us than this path?

Yan Xiaoying said that someone climbed from this place one step ahead of us, since others can go up, why can't we?

Fear is only a psychological effect, and the reason why we are afraid is that we are affected by visual images, and such a path is not impossible.

At least for now, Yan Xiaoying is proving this to us.

I took a few deep breaths in a row, calmed the horror in my heart, looked at Lao Fei and encouraged: "Let's go, everyone dares to go, what are we two big men hiding here and cowering?" ”

"Lao Yan, you speak softly......

I ignored the old fat complaint, walked out cautiously, and after gaining a firm foothold on the Ganoderma lucidum, suddenly a strong wind blew from behind, like a big hand pushing behind my back, scared me into a cold sweat, and quickly put down my body.

"Which ...... Xiaoying, don't worry...... Wait...... Wait for me for a few minutes. ”

At this moment, Yan Xiaoying had already jumped on another Lingzhi, diagonally above my head, about six or seven meters away.

Hearing this, she stood on a lingzhi flower, looked at me, and said with a worried face: "You...... Afraid of heights? ”

"A little bit...... When I was a child, I fell on a tree once, and after that, I was a little afraid of heights......"

"You wait for me for a while, and ...... soon Soon fine. ”

When I said to Yan Xiaoying, I was actually comforting myself.

Overcoming the fear in my heart is the hardest thing, just like now, although I have been cheering myself up, my legs are still trembling, and I can't help myself.

I'm going to have to stand here and take my breath and get used to the heights.

In fact, the piece of Ganoderma lucidum closest to me is not very far, only half a meter, and I can jump over it with a step.

But what is usually a step away is as difficult for me to cross as a chasm now.

"Don't worry...... Everything is difficult at the beginning, as long as you can take the first step, the next step will be much simpler, I am here to wait for you. At this time, Yan Xiaoying comforted me instead.

However, more than ten minutes passed.

Standing on the Lingzhi, instead of dispelling the fear in my heart, I became more and more intense.

After delaying for so long, even the old fat standing in the crack couldn't stand it anymore, and pouted: "I said Lao Yan, can you do it?" If you can't let Lao Tzu come, damn it, it's a big deal to fall down and end up with broken bones, I'm afraid it's a ball? ”
