Thuan An City is not a big city, but the Star Picking Tower is famous far and wide.

There are nine floors in the Star Picking Building, which responds to the meaning of the Nine Heavens.

There are different versions of the legend of the Star Picking Tower, some say that a strong person of the Spirit Emperor once sat here, and before he died, he let his descendants never leave here, and wanted to protect the peace of Shun'an City from generation to generation, and some said that this is the hometown of the Spirit Emperor, and the Spirit Emperor later built the Star Picking Tower, and since then he has sat on the Star Picking Tower, guarding this small city......

No matter which version it is, it shows that this Star Picking Tower is related to a Spirit Emperor powerhouse, and the descendants of this Spirit Emperor strong man have always been guarding the Star Picking Tower, and later people called these people the tower keepers.

In the hearts of the people of Shun'an City, the people who guard the building are the same as the Star Tower, they are their protection, because there are Star Pickers and Star Keepers, they can be healthy for generations, and the people of the entire Shun An City worship the Star Tower, and no one has ever dared to climb the Star Tower.

The Star Picking Tower is not only a holy place, but also a forbidden place.

But today, a teenager came, not only unashamedly to climb the Star Picking Tower, but also carrying a corpse on his back.

They didn't know what the boy's name was, but they knew that the corpse's name was Feng Changsheng.

Because the young man stood in front of the star-picking tower and said the name of the dead man.

The wind is long.

Many people felt that these three words were somewhat familiar, and finally someone in the crowd shouted: "Is it him? Hasn't he already left Shun'an City?"

Someone said: "I heard that after he ascended the tower last time, he attracted the army of the Nanyang Empire, which caused Shun'an City to become the land of the Nanyang Empire." ”

"Didn't he go to the Cloud Snow Empire, what is he doing when he comes back now?"

"Whether it's Nanyang or Yunxue, this is his home after all, after he dies, he will definitely come back, this person always has to return to his roots. ”

At this time, a child asked, "Daddy, what is a country and what is a home?"

A man looked down at the little boy, thought for a while, and said softly: "Country, it is a big family, a home for many people, and a home is a small family, the home of a few people." ”

An old man sighed: "Without everyone, how can we come to a small family, without a small family, how can we come to everyone, we are all Yunxue people until we die, but does the Yunxue Empire still remember us?"

"It's been almost 40 years, and it's impossible to call back. ”

"Actually, who is not the return, over the years, we have not lived well?"

"Having said that, we are Yunxue after all, and this is a fact that cannot be changed. ”

The little boy suddenly said, "Daddy, he's in." ”

Everyone looked at the Star Picking Tower, only to see that the thin young man was carrying the body of Feng Changsheng on his back, and began to think about the Star Picking Tower.

Everyone didn't say anything more, just watched quietly, with a little anticipation.

There are a lot of strong people on the Star Picking Tower, otherwise many people who have come to climb the tower will not return in vain over the years, if there is anything in this Shun'an City that has not changed from before, you are this Star Picking Tower.

Whether it is the rule of the Yunxue Empire or the rule of the Nanyang Empire, the Star Picking Tower has always been like this, like an ancient sword, standing there, whether it is the strong man of the Yunxue Empire or the strong man of the Nanyang Empire, they all want to climb the Star Picking Tower.

The Star Picking Tower seems to be just the Star Picking Tower, there is no Yunxue Empire, and there is no Nanyang Empire.

This is the pride of Thuan An City.

Thirty years ago, there was a young man named Feng Changsheng, who climbed the tower seven times, and each time he had to lie down for more than half a year, although he only climbed to the fifth floor, but he had broken the record of the star picking tower.

He climbed the fifth floor when he was alive, and after more than 30 years, now that he is back, he is just a corpse, how many floors can that young man climb for him?

On the first floor, several women in blue appeared, these people looked indifferent, as if they were not good at words, and their tone was a little stiff, "Xingxinglou does not participate in any grievances and disputes, but only protects the peace of the people, now Shun'an City is already under the jurisdiction of the Nanyang Empire, but Gongzi brought people from the Yunxue Empire to climb the tower, do you know what trouble will it bring to Shun'an City?"

Ye Qiu shook his head and said: "He himself is a person from Shun'an City, and now he returns to his hometown after death, which is just a matter of returning to his roots." ”

The woman said: "Nothing is taken for granted, our duty is to guard the Star Picking Tower, so if you want to take him up, you have to pass our pass first." ”

Ye Qiu nodded and said, "I know." ”

After saying these three words, twenty dark blue knives had already appeared in front of him, and then he swung in the wind and stepped forward step by step, towards these women in blue, towards the stairs on the second floor.

All the women in blue snorted coldly, and at the same time took out their swords, Ye Qiu continued to move forward, and before he took a step, he would bend his fingers on a flying knife, and the entire first floor of the Star Picking Building was suddenly sharp.

These women in blue are only at the level of spirit masters, so they naturally can't stop Ye Qiu.

After ascending to the second floor, there was a woman in yellow, this woman was holding a book at this moment, her eyes seemed to have been attracted by the content of the book, she did not look at Ye Qiu, but said lightly: "It's too late to retreat now." ”

This woman in yellow is obviously much stronger than those on the first floor, and her strength is around the Spirit Sect.

With Ye Qiu's strength, it was actually not difficult to deal with a Spirit Sect, but he had the wind on his back, and it was very inconvenient to fight, so he glanced at the old man behind him.

The old man in the technical building didn't speak, but just took a step forward, and the woman in yellow's face changed sharply, and then the whole person dodged directly to the side, just letting the stairs out.

Ye Qiu hugged his fists at her, and continued to climb the stairs with Feng Changsheng on his back.

Soon, Ye Qiu found that every time he went up to the floor, the strength of the person guarding the building would almost increase by a realm, and when he reached the fifth floor, he was already a Spirit Emperor powerhouse, and when he reached the sixth floor, there was even a Spirit Saint powerhouse.

According to Ye Qiu's thoughts, if he climbed to the seventh floor, he should meet the Spirit Emperor, so is the eighth floor and the ninth floor the legendary Five Elements Saint Venerable and Ten Thousand Spirits Heavenly Venerable?

Although the old guy in the technical building is strong, he should be at the level of the Spirit Saint, if he really meets the strong man of the Spirit Emperor, can he continue to climb the building with Feng Changsheng?

When he climbed to the sixth floor, the old man in the technical building and a woman holding a pipa directly hit the Star Picking Tower, and he also went to carry the corpse of Feng Changsheng on his back and continued to climb the seventh floor, he also wanted to see what kind of existence the legendary Spirit Emperor powerhouse was.

However, there was no one on the seventh floor, the entire floor was empty, no one even came to clean it, and in front of the stairs, only a statue stood.

Ye Qiu walked in front of the statue, passing by the old man he met at the Gate of Life and Death last time, he originally wondered if this person was also the same as the old man, but after a closer look, he found that this was just an ordinary statue, and it was already covered with dust.

Although it is only a statue, it gives people a breathtaking feeling, as if even this statue is full of powerful coercion.

If a person with a weak mind sees this statue, he can stop looking, and even Ye Qiu has some feelings about what kind of life this person should be when he is alive.

This statue stood at the bottom of the stairs, just blocking the entire staircase completely, that is, if Ye Qiu wanted to continue to climb the eighth floor, he had to move this statue away.

But this seems a little disrespectful, just when he was in danger, a light flashed in the room, and the old man of the technical building appeared next to Ye Qiu, looking at the statue with a pair of cloudy eyes, and said in a deep voice: "The Star Picking Tower was established by this person, and he originally wanted his descendants to cultivate to the level of the Ten Thousand Spirits Heavenly Venerable, so that they could sit on the ninth floor, but it is a pity that since him, his descendants have never even produced a spirit emperor." ”

Ye Qiu nodded and asked, "In other words, from here up, there is actually no one left?"

The old man in the technical building nodded, "Now the Spirit Emperor is already a very strong existence on this road, as for the Five Elements Saint Venerable...... Hey, I'm afraid there is no real Five Elements Saint Venerable. ”

Ye Qiu looked at the old man and asked, "To be honest, I've always been curious about what level you are?"

The old man smiled embarrassedly: "My realm is not easy to say, you will know in the future, even if you know now, it is useless." ”

Ye Qiu nodded, no longer entangled in this topic, pointed to the statue and said, "If we want to go up, it seems that we can only alarm this Spirit Emperor." ”

The old man smiled: "Simple. ”

After speaking, he stepped forward and said coldly, "Don't retreat?"

This sentence is simply inexplicable, because no one can speak to a statue, and even if it does, it is impossible for the statue to understand.

But the next moment, Ye Qiu's face was full of astonishment, and with the old man's angry shout, the statue actually moved slowly, and it looked like a living person, and retreated to the side.

Ye Qiu really couldn't understand why.

And the old man in the technical building didn't mean to explain, but said, "Let's go." ”

also went to carry the wind Changsheng on his back, and climbed all the way to the ninth floor of the Star Picking Tower.

Downstairs, everyone was shocked, over the years, there were a lot of people who came to climb the stairs, and there were even several groups of people coming every year, but no one had ever gone up to the seventh floor, and now this young man actually climbed to the top floor.

Many people can't figure out where this young man is sacred.

Everyone raised their heads and looked at the star-picking tower that went straight into the sky, some people said that as long as they stood on the top of the star-picking building, they could really pick off the stars, but no one had ever done it so far, because no one had ever climbed to the top of the star-picking tower.

A little girl suddenly asked, "Can you really pick up stars by standing on it?"

A woman laughed and said, "I think it can be." ”

The little girl said, "Mother, didn't you say that when people die, they will become stars in the sky, can we climb up and call Daddy back?"

The woman was stunned for a moment, a little sentimental, looked up at the Star Picking Tower, and did not speak.

The little girl said, "One day, I must climb to the top of the Star Picking Tower and bring my father back, just like this big brother." ”

The woman rubbed her head, as if she were a child.

The little girl said firmly: "I want to worship this big brother as a teacher." ”

A little boy pouted and said, "Second girl, just you, if you want to worship, people are not willing to accept it." ”

The little girl snorted coldly, but did not refute, but her big eyes were full of determination.

No matter how much hardship she endures, she must become the apprentice of the big brother, and she must learn the ability to climb to the top of the Star Picking Tower, because she really misses her father.

Ye Qiu stood on the top floor of the Star Picking Tower, put down the wind Changsheng, and looked down from the top of the building, he could take in the scenery of the entire Shun'an City, but other than that, Ye Qiu did not find anything strange about this Star Picking Tower.

He really couldn't understand why Feng Changsheng always remembered this star-picking tower before his death.

The old man in the technical building asked, "What now, you don't plan to leave him here, do you?"

Ye Qiu shook his head and said: "After all, this is someone's place, Elder Feng only said that he wanted to return to Shun'an City in a dignified manner, and wanted to climb the Star Picking Tower again to take a look, since these have been done, he naturally wants to take him back, and they all say that he will be safe in the earth, just put him here, even if the Star Picking Tower agrees, I will feel uneasy in conscience." ”

The old man nodded, "Just bury him in Shun'an City, and don't take him back to the Oriental Academy." ”

Ye Qiu hesitated for a moment and nodded.

According to the rules of Oriental College, all teachers of Oriental College must be brought back to Oriental College for burial after they die, but Feng Changsheng is different, although he also has Oriental College in his heart, although he is also dedicated to his students, but his heart is more about Shun'an City.

Then he picked up the wind and began to go downstairs.

When he walked out of the Star Picking Tower, everyone dispersed and made way for him, in this regard, Ye Qiu just gave him a friendly look, and walked along the street with the wind on his back, until he walked out of Shun'an City.

Under a small hill in the south of Shun'an City, Ye Qiu put down Feng Changsheng, took off the golden gun, began to dig a pit, and then buried Feng Changsheng, and finally carved a tombstone, he originally wanted to engrave the "Tomb of Feng Changsheng of the Yunxue Empire", but this is the territory of the Nanyang Empire after all, if the people of the Nanyang Empire find this tombstone in the future, with the hatred of the Nanyang Empire for the Yunxue Empire, they will definitely dig out Feng Changsheng and expose it to the wilderness, so only the five big characters of "The Tomb of Feng Changsheng" are engraved.

From here, you can just see the entire Shun'an City, and it is no worse than the Star Picking Tower.

Ye Qiu looked at Feng Changsheng's tombstone and said in a low voice: "Elder Feng, there is only so much I can do, I hope you can go well." ”

In this way, Feng Changsheng was buried here, which can be regarded as a fallen leaf returning to the roots.

This man was born in the Yunxue Empire and died in the Yunxue Empire, but he was buried in the Nanyang Empire, but in fact, they are all the same place - Shun'an City.

How many people are like him? Born here, buried here, one place, but two countries.

Downstairs, everyone was shocked, over the years, there were a lot of people who came to climb the stairs, and there were even several groups of people coming every year, but no one had ever gone up to the seventh floor, and now this young man actually climbed to the top floor.

Many people can't figure out where this young man is sacred.

Then he picked up the wind and began to go downstairs.

From here, you can just see the entire Shun'an City, and it is no worse than the Star Picking Tower.

Ye Qiu looked at Feng Changsheng's tombstone and said in a low voice, "Elder Feng, there is only so much I can do
