Passing through a secluded path, the grass and trees in front of you are sparse, and the tall trees stand on both sides, and the dense trunks and branches of the trees block the sun.

Tiny pieces of light spilled through the gaps in the leaves, creating a dappled scene in front of the eyes.

The mountains are empty and quiet, with only the rustling of leaves echoing in your ears, bringing you a sense of tranquility that goes straight to the depths of your soul.

The road is very long, with nine twists and eighteen bends, and it is very easy for people who are not familiar with the road to get lost here.

Qin Shang used to go back to the top of the Nine Pavilions and walk here, and he couldn't help but use light skills, because he wanted to see that person as soon as possible, even if it was only a few days apart, there was always an urgency to miss the disaster.

This time, it was the longest time since he was sixteen years old when he came to the pavilion master's side, but he was not in a hurry to do so.

The footsteps were steady, and he walked up the mountain step by step.

The surrounding scenery carries the vicissitudes of life after the wind and rain, and it is not as charming as the rich and noble homeland, but it has a kind of pride between heaven and earth, which belongs to them alone.

Even the jagged gravel beneath your feet suddenly became cute.

And the big tree next to him......

Looking up at the towering trees, Qin Sheng couldn't help but think of some things in the past.

The head of the pavilion once asked him what kind of woman he liked.

Qin Sheng thought about it for a long time, and he didn't know what kind of woman could move him, he said that women are like flowers, beautiful and delicate, they can bloom brilliantly in spring, but they can't withstand the destruction of cold frost in winter.

And the feelings he yearns for......

The relationship he yearns for is to be able to experience the wind and frost together, sketch the years together, and never bend his waist under the baptism of storms...... Just like these towering trees in front of you.

He faced it with a posture of looking up, and so did his feelings.

But it was only then that he suddenly realized that the big tree does not need to have feelings, it will only stand silently in the cold wind, irrigated by the morning sun and rain, and get closer to the vast sky little by little, and never bow its head.

Beautiful and delicate flowers need to be cared for and nourished, but big trees can only be looked up to.

For a long stretch of the road, Qin Sheng walked unhurriedly, enjoying the scenery while walking, and his mood was rare and a little leisurely and quiet.

Until there are bluestone slabs paved with stone steps in front of you.

One step at a time, leading directly to the top of the Nine Pavilions.

The people of the Nine Pavilions call this step road the Pavilion Gate, which is the only way to climb to the top of the Nine Pavilions, and there are countless master guards on both sides of the step road.

Seeing Qin Sheng come back, the subordinates of the masters first saluted and knelt down on one knee respectfully: "I've seen Gongzi." ”

Qin Sheng raised his head and silently looked at the stone steps in front of him that seemed to be innumerable, but he remembered the number of this stone step better than anyone else.

Nine thousand nine hundred steps, very long, very long.

It's not the Emperor's Road, but it's better than the Emperor's Road.

For the people in the Nine Pavilions who are flying around all day long, such a height is nothing, a little on tiptoe, a sweep of the body, and an instant to the top.

Can ...... today?

"The pavilion master has an order, please ...... the son" The subordinate who delivered the message lowered his eyes and finished his words with some hesitation, "The pavilion master said that the prince was rebellious, according to the rules...... Kneel three and knock up. When to reach the top, when to meet the pavilion master. ”

Qin Sheng was stunned for a moment, then narrowed his eyes and quietly stared at the first stone step under his feet.

Three kneels and nine knocks...... Is it?

OK.

It's nothing.

It's only nine thousand steps...... Nothing more.

Three days, five days, seven days...... Sooner or later, you will be able to reach the top.

"I see."

Qin Sheng replied like this, his voice so light that he couldn't hear the slightest emotion.
