"I had a problem cooking today."

Jiang Zhengxin sighed and pretended to be sad.

"Your disciples laughed at my poor craftsmanship and said that you would definitely find the food unpalatable. I was so angry that I made a bet with them that if you didn't eat all of today's dishes, Xiao Tao and I would sleep out all night. ”

Hearing this, Yu Yue still ate silently, without even raising her eyelids.

But the little peach who was chirping next to him stopped doing it, and glared at Jiang Zhengxin - why did you put me in?!

Jiang Zhengxin ignored it and continued: "I will freeze all night, in fact, it doesn't matter, the key is that there is a little peach, its small body will definitely not be able to stand it." ”

Xiao Tao was relieved when she heard this, and felt that Jiang Zhengxin still had a little conscience, so she continued to chirp the cloud leg in her hand.

Jiang Zhengxin looked at Yue Yue: "...... So, can you eat all of today's dishes and don't let us get punished? ”

Yue Yue finally raised her eyes and glanced at Jiang Zhengxin, in fact, since she finished the second sentence, Yue Yue had already guessed her careful thoughts.

He said lightly: "You should still be punished." ”

“……”

Jiang Zhengxin's smiling face fell.

knew that he had been recognized by Yu Yue, so he deflated his mouth and buried his head in cooking.

However, although Wei Yue said this, she also ate all the dishes in the end, and she couldn't bear to live up to Jiang Zhengxin's kindness.

Since they had dinner together this time, Jiang Zhengxin began to be unusual, no longer pestering Wei Yue, but trying to avoid him, and couldn't see anyone for a few days. Only once, Wei Yue happened to meet her and saw her walking to her room, limping, as if she was injured.

So he couldn't help but worry and asked, "You...... What's wrong? ”

Jiang Zhengxin stopped, but did not turn back.

She replied, "It's fine." ”

"What's wrong with your leg?"

"Hmm...... I just squatted to look at the ants and my legs were a little numb. ”

Wei Yue wanted to continue to ask, but Jiang Zhengxin didn't give him a chance, so he hurriedly left......

……

Taking advantage of the hazy night and the sky was not yet dawn, Jiang Zhengxin sneaked out of the house and came to the bottom of the Tongtian Bridge.

This bridge is not actually a bridge, but the highest mountain in the imperial capital. In the previous dynasty, there were several royal disciples who cultivated immortals here, and later they all ascended, so they were enshrined as spiritual mountains. There were originally 8,999 steps on this mountain, and then another 1,000 steps were built, which was enough to reach the extreme number of 9,999 steps, and became a bridge to heaven for the soul of the emperor to go straight to the heavenly realm after his death.

There is a magnificent Tianji Mansion built on the top of the mountain, worship all the immortals, there are rumors, there have been immortals in the Tianji Palace, the snow accumulates three feet in the middle of winter, the bridge through the sky is all revived overnight, a hundred flowers bloom, there is more green light lingering at the top of the mountain, straight to the sky.

It is still unknown whether the spirit of the emperor can ascend to the sky, and it is difficult to distinguish the true from the fake when the immortal manifests, but this bridge to heaven is indeed the closest place to the heavenly palace. Jiang Zhengxin came here to be on the top of the mountain, sincerely praying that he could get the method of renewing his life.

At this time, she stood at the foot of the mountain, looking up at the endless peak, and secretly gritted her teeth.

Today she will kneel in three steps, bow in five steps, and bow to the top of the mountain in seven steps.

Since she asked for a vow, she had to be the most pious. In the end, whether it is the immortal grandfather or other immortals, as long as they can hear her prayers and are willing to manifest to show her the way.

In fact, it is not the first time she has come here, the last time was more than half a month ago, she had tried to kneel all the way up the mountain, but when there were more than 4,000 steps, she lost the strength in her legs, and accidentally fell and rolled down, but fortunately there was a gentle slope nearby, which made her stop, otherwise she might really die here.

Although he was not killed, his arm was still dislocated, and there were many bruises on his body, which was really painful at that time, so he could only grit his teeth and tears, and slowly moved down the mountain with the pain, and then went to Zhong Ke to take the dislocation back for her, and the other wounds were also medicated, and she recuperated for more than half a month. So during this time, she has been avoiding Yue Yue and didn't dare to let him know. The time she was touched by Wei Yue, it was also because the injury on her leg was not healed, so he noticed something unusual, but fortunately, she was fooled through in the end.

Although there is a shadow, although she feels apprehensive, although she doesn't know if she can ask for the manifestation of the gods, she must try, because even Zhong Ke said that there is no way for Yu Yue's heart vein, she can only ask for the power of the gods and Buddhas of heaven and earth, and as time passes, she is becoming more and more anxious, and she always feels that it is not time that passes, but Yu Yue's life.

So I started all over again today, starting with the first step and praying sincerely, and then worshipping one step at a time.

One, two, three, four, five...... Sixty-five, sixty-six...... Four hundred and seventeen, four hundred and eighteen....... three thousand five hundred and twenty-one, three thousand five hundred and twenty-two...... Six thousand seven and seventy-six, six thousand and seventy-seven......

From the dawn of the day......

To the clouds and clouds......

To the sun......

to the remnant sun like blood......

Until night falls......

to the stars and the moon......

……

Every time she knelt and bowed, every time she kowtowed, she was extremely religious, her eyes looked firmly at the sky on the top of the mountain, and she sincerely prayed and bowed.

As she walked all the way on, she stumbled all the way, her knees and palms were worn by the rough and cold stone surface, and her forehead was even more red and swollen, until she peeled off her skin and bled and was in pain.

At first, she thought that if she was tired, she would rest for a while, and if she couldn't finish a day, she would pray for two days or three days......

But the closer she got to the top of the mountain, the more anxious her heart became, and even if she was exhausted and had no strength in her body, she just crawled on the ground and crouched for a while, and then continued to walk towards the stone steps leading to the sky.

In the end, she didn't know how many times she had kowtowed, how many times she bowed, she only knew that she was going to reach the top of the mountain, Tianji Mansion, even if she had to faint or fall, she had to wait until she found a cure for Yu Yue, and before that, she had to hold on.

In any case, this road to heaven must be completed.

No matter what, she had to let him live.

Although the mountains are dark, the closer you get to the sky, the more you feel the moonlight and starlight. The moonlight that spread down cleared the blood marks on the stone steps, Jiang Zhengxin raised her hands, and saw that the palms of her hands were worn out and bleeding, and the flesh and blood were stained with fine sand and stones, she endured the pain and gently wiped it on her clothes.

I feel very tired and painful, but everything is for Yu Yue, so I don't feel hard.

I don't know how long it has been, it feels like a long, long time, as if it was so far away from the beginning of Hongmeng to this moment.

Her vision was blurry, her arms could no longer support her body, and her legs were so stiff and painful that she couldn't bend or stretch.

Finally, when he knelt down and kowtowed, his eyes were dark and he fainted.

The night breeze in the mountains was cool, blowing at her wounds, on her clothes, on her messy hair......

If it weren't for the unfinished business, if it weren't for the faith in her heart, she might have fallen asleep, and when she woke up again, she struggled to get up, looked at the distant sky, and continued to bow forward......

What if the Heavenly Rank is endless?

Even if the road is endless?

As long as there is a glimmer of hope,

She'll keep going,

If you take one more step, the lifespan of Yue Yue in the book of life and death will be one more day,

Then she would rather the heavenly steps are endless, and the long road is endless......
