The sky was blue and clear, and white clouds were surging in the sky.

The mountain breeze blows lightly, bypassing the ends of the hair, and lifting a few strands of hair from the sideburns.

There seemed to be a sense of sadness in the air.

On the endless stone steps, the man in red walked slowly, walked three steps, knelt down, bowed his head to the ground, and bowed three times.

Get up, take three steps, kneel again, and bow three times.

The same action was repeated many times, and the stone staircase came to an end at some point.

Blood had been seen on his fair forehead.

Junya's gentle face was pale, and the sweat wet the hair of his sideburns, but he never said a word, and his eyebrows and eyes were full of emotional color.

Such as the sky is clear and the sea is wide, such as the mountain breeze slowly, such as the ancient well is not shocked.

Kneeling too many times, walking too many steps, there was a sharp pain like a shattering knee in his knees, and his steps were sluggish, but he supported his weak and tired body and went up step by step.

Thinking of nothing, his mind was empty, and he repeated the stiff and numb movements mechanically.

How long has it been...... How long has it been on your knees, it should be said?

He didn't know.

Maybe it's been a day, but I just remember that the sky is dark and bright, from the sunny day to the sunset to the moon in the middle of the sky, the moisture at dawn stains the hair, intertwined with sweat, and the satin-like black hair gradually becomes a little more messy.

Sweaty and heavy-clothed, limbs and bones are crying out for exhaustion and soreness.

The lip flap is pale and chapped due to dehydration, and the bottom of the eyes is as barren and empty as a pool of stagnant water.

Nine thousand nine hundred steps.

When is the end?

Qin Shang kowtowed, got up, stepped up the three steps stiffly and hard, knelt down again, and kowtowed.

In my drowsy mind, fragments of years began to emerge in a trance.

The first time he saw the cold figure in white, he clearly felt the taste of his heart beating violently.

The first time he took Zi Yuan Dan, who opened up the meridians but would also overdraw his vitality, he endured his father's monstrous anger and scolding.

The first time he came to the top of the Nine Pavilions, kneeling in front of the person who became his obsession, he felt that life was so fresh and beautiful, full of vigor and sunshine, and even the air was filled with a fresh smell.

The sun is brilliant, yet so short-lived.

The fiery faith was gradually worn out, and the years became so ruthless that people felt the taste of cold winter from their muscles and bones.

The past comes to mind bit by bit, and when I recall it again, only the desolation is left everywhere.

When he got up, a dizziness flashed, his figure staggered suddenly, and he almost fell, Qin Sheng subconsciously pinched his palm, exchanging pain for a moment of soberness.

Stabilizing his exhausted body, he settled down and slowly raised his eyes.

In the blurred vision, the mountain scenery is still the same, but the heart is already ...... Changed.

His feet were as heavy as lead, as if he could no longer lift a single step.

The chapped lip flap tugged slightly, and the corners of the lips swept a bitter arc.

Rebellious?

Then ...... It's better to just rebel to the end.

He was tired, he didn't want to hold on anymore, and he couldn't do it anymore.

Get rid of it early.

Looking at the sky, it's early hours again.

Qin Shang turned his eyes and looked at the lush low flower bushes on both sides of the stairs, which were covered with a layer of crystal dew.

The worn fingertips stretched out, and he took some dew from the palm of his hand and brought it to his lips.

Not much, but it was able to relieve the dry throat a little.

Qin Shang took a deep breath, and in the palm of his hand, he condensed the true qi in his body in his arms and arms, relieving the stagnation and fatigue of his body.

Then he lifted his breath under his feet, and his body swept towards the top of the Nine Pavilions like an eagle falcon.

There was a rapid gasp behind him.
