Emperor Xiu and Qin Shang returned to the Nine Pavilions.

It's still the quiet path, and the grass and trees in front of you are sparse.

On both sides of the forest stand tall trees, their dense trunks that block the harsh sunlight at night.

The mountains were empty and silent, with a hint of cicadas in the rustling of leaves.

Qin Shang looked up, summer has arrived.

The last time I came back, it was the spring season, and two months later, the weather was already so hot.

Walking through the path with nine twists and eighteen bends, because of the person in front of me, I felt that no matter how long it was, it was not enough, and I always thought that the road would be longer, longer, and so on, and there would never be an end......

But how can there be no end?

No matter how long the road is, there will be an end.

Even if he was worried about his current physical condition and couldn't use light power, the pavilion master accompanied him all the way up, but this winding path would still come to an end.

The bluestone slab stone steps leading to the top of the Nine Pavilions soon appeared in front of him.

Nine thousand nine hundred steps.

Step by step up.

The masters in the mountains knelt down to greet each other, Di Xiu didn't speak, he stepped up the stone steps step by step, his face was indifferent and noble, and he was still the unattainable god in the hearts of everyone in the Nine Pavilions, like being in the clouds overlooking all beings.

Step by step, walking not too fast, step by step, the corners of the white robe exuded a flowing luster in the daylight.

Qin Sheng was fascinated by it, and couldn't help but stare at the corner of the robe.

Until the person in front of him suddenly stopped.

Qin Shang was stunned for a moment, and involuntarily stopped, and raised his head: "Master? ”

Di Xiu didn't speak, he stood still with his hands down, his eyes drooping slightly, and landed on the stone steps.

Qin Shang's expression tightened slightly, his eyes turned down, and he was stunned when he saw the dark red blood stains left on the stone steps.

Looking up, as far as the eye could see, there was a little dark red blood stain on each stone step.

This was him two months ago...... knelt three times and knocked nine times, knocking the blood stains left on his forehead......

Thinking of that day, the familiar feeling of suffocation and emptiness came to his heart again, Qin Shang's thin lips tightened, and a dull pain came to his heart.

It hasn't rained for many days.

It's been two months and the blood is still there.

Thinking of his master's cleanliness, Qin Sheng lowered his eyes and said in a slightly tight voice: "The subordinates will take time to clean up ......"

The people of the Nine Pavilions use light work when they go up and down the mountain, who will walk the stone steps without anything?

No one noticed that the blood stains here were also normal.

Even if they noticed, who would go the extra mile to clean up?

After all, no one expected the master to walk back to the mountain step by step.

With a little nervous voice coming into his ears, Di Xiu somehow felt a little suffocated in his heart suddenly.

Turning around slightly, he looked at the man standing at the bottom of the stairs who seemed to be admitting his mistake, and was silent for a long time before slowly reaching out and rubbing the top of his head: "It's not that no one cleans the mountain, but you are diligent." ”

The tone is light and unfazed.

As he spoke, Di Xiu turned around and continued to move forward.

Qin Sheng was already stunned on the spot.

There seemed to be still the heat of the master's palm on the top of his head, and he unconsciously reached out and touched his head, just ......

"What are you doing in a daze?" Di Xiu didn't hear the footsteps behind him, turned around, looked at him with a light gaze, and couldn't help frowning, "Tired?" ”

Qin Sheng came back to his senses and hurriedly shook his head: "No, I'm not tired." ”

He just...... I just thought I was dreaming......

If this is really a dream.

Qin Sheng unconsciously raised his feet and stepped up the stairs, and couldn't help but think in his heart, if this was really a dream, then let him never wake up.
