Chen Xi has done a lot of things carefully since he left the Inner Sect of the Little Mantian Sect, such as begging carefully, avoiding carefully, following the great monk Yangzhao carefully, living in Qiyang Valley carefully, and doing miscellaneous labor in the Qingwu Academy.

But he had never been so cautious as he was today, so much so that he would even hesitate to take how big his steps should be and which leg he should use when he ascended the last stone step. He didn't know what he would see or encounter after he climbed the nine-story tower, and maybe he would die after just a glance.

In the end, he followed his habit and put his left leg in front of him when he tried to move forward. Chen Xi used to seem a little bored to test which leg he had the strength of, even if it was only a slight difference, he would be particularly concerned. When he stepped up his left leg and was about to step on his right leg, he suddenly felt a little tightness in his left leg.

Then he subconsciously glanced down, and his heart almost jumped out of his throat at this glance.

There is a man on the left leg.

I don't know when, a little girl who looks round and jade is hugging his left leg, raising her head and flashing a pair of big watery eyes, looking at herself pitifully. This little girl is four or five years old, and her little face is round and cute.

The most beautiful thing is her eyes, which seem to be able to speak. Just looking at Chen Xi with some begging like this, Chen Xi felt that he would be ashamed if he didn't do something for her. The little girl was so beautiful and cute, with a touch of pink on her bulging little face and a little saliva on the corner of her mouth.

The tender skin that can be broken by blowing the bullet, how to look at it is gratifying.

She raised her head and looked at Chen Xi, a pair of small hands hugged Chen Xi's thighs so hard, as if she was afraid that Chen Xi would run away as soon as she let go.

"Who are you...... It doesn't matter who you are, it's okay to play with me. It's been a long time since anyone has come to bring me good food, and it's been a long time since anyone has sent me beautiful baby clothes. Teng'er is so bored, are you here to bring me something delicious? Or are you here to bring me beautiful clothes?"

Chen Xi opened his mouth and glanced back at the old man in embarrassment.

The little girl followed his line of sight and looked behind her, and then said very politely, "Hello Ghost Grandpa, are you also here to bring me good food and beautiful clothes?"

The old man coughed twice, looking a little embarrassed: "I can't imagine that hundreds of years have passed, and the power of Shenteng has been weakened to this point. The last time I saw her, she was a beautiful girl, and now she's turned into a little doll......"

Chen Xixin said Old man, since you have seen Shen Teng before, why don't you tell me when you are below? This kind of unprepared being hugged by a little girl, even if it is hugged by such a cute little girl, will scare people to death.

"I think I've seen you, I don't remember exactly. ”

The little girl looked at the old man with a slightly frowning brow, and after thinking for a while, she shook her head: "I don't want to, I can't think of it anyway...... This big brother, did you bring me something to eat?"

Chen Xi subconsciously reached into the storage bag and touched it, and after groping for a while, he was a little embarrassed and took out a piece of dough that was already hard: "This...... This was originally prepared for myself, and I was worried that I might be trapped somewhere for a long time, and I used it to replenish my body, and I used it to ......"

The little girl snatched the dough and took a bite, then grinned: "It's so unpalatable...... There are condensing grass and ice spirits in it, how can anyone put these things into the food. Although I am a child, can you get by with your conscience if you fool me like this?"

Chen Xi: "Ahem...... I said that I was worried that I would be trapped in a certain place, and my body would be severely consumed and I would not be able to concentrate. ”

"You didn't bring me something to eat, so did you bring nice clothes?"

The little girl was very disappointed and stuffed the dough into Chen Xi's hand, but she politely didn't spit off the bite she ate, and swallowed it with a frown, and two small wrinkles appeared on her cute little nose.

Chen Xi shook his head: "I didn't bring good food, nor did I bring beautiful clothes, I came up to ask to see Shenteng." Excuse me, who are you from the gods, and may I go and see him?"

The little girl looked at him like a monster, and then sighed like a little adult: "You look like you're an adult, why are you still so stupid, it seems that size really doesn't matter if you're smart or not." I said that my name is Teng'er, so Shenteng is naturally me. Since you're here to see me, don't you have any greeting gifts?"

The old man hurriedly said: "He came in a hurry, and there are people chasing him behind him, so can I ask you for a favor first, and then we will go and find you what you want immediately, okay?"

The little girl pouted: "It's not good, it's not good, it's generally like this, you help me first, I'll thank you well, it's all liars!"

Chen Xi said: "I'm really not a liar...... I promise I'll find you a lot of good food and nice clothes in the future...... But you're so small, why do you need so many beautiful clothes? ”

"Dress the doll. ”

The little girl stretched out her hand and grabbed Chen Xi's little thumb, and pulled Chen Xi forward: "Come, I'll show you my doll." ”

......

......

Chen Xi felt that the palm of the little girl's hand was a little cold, and it was slightly damp, it was her sweat, but why was her sweat cold? She pulled Chen Xi all the way forward, and after walking inside, Chen Xi realized that the nine-story tower was so big. The eight-story tower was already as big as Chen Xi had imagined, and the nine-story tower looked at least three times larger than the eight-story tower.

The thick white marble pillars can be five meters high, and the carved patterns on them are intricate and delicate. The floor of the main hall looks as if it is paved with gold bricks, and it is even a little slippery to walk on it. After coming in, Chen Xi saw a large number of people...... To be precise, it's not a person, it's a sculpture.

There are at least hundreds of women carved from white jade, in all shapes. Each one is so graceful and looks stunning. Moreover, each woman's face looked different, and I really couldn't imagine how many stunning women the person who carved these white jade statues had seen.

The main thing is that these white jade statues are wearing very beautiful clothes.

"These are my dolls. ”

The little girl said excitedly: "I like to change their clothes when I am fine, and they become more beautiful when they wear these clothes." But it's been a while since anyone has come to bring me good food and nice clothes, and I'm a little angry even though I'm good-tempered. I would have watched them around the corner every few days, and I wanted them to come up and play with me, but many, many years ago, someone said to me, I can't just meet people, or something bad will happen......"

She frowned and tried very hard to think about it, but she didn't think of anything: "I forgot what the person who said these things to me looked like, and I forgot what the bad things he said...... Big brother, am I stupid too?"

Chen Xi shook his head: "No, it's just that it's been too long." People are all the same, the past is forgotten after too long. ”

The little girl seemed to understand and nodded: "I just feel that I am getting more and more stupid, and I can't remember many things." ”

The old man said in Chen Xi's mind: "The power of Shen Teng has been drained away by the Nine Shadows Dungeon to suppress the Endless Abyss, hundreds of years have passed, although there are nine colored stones to make up for it, but she is already much weaker than at the beginning. I was worried that in a few more years, she would become a baby...... Then ......"

The old man didn't say the next words, but Chen Xi's heart hurt violently. He didn't know what Shenteng was, but now the little girl in front of him was so cute and distressing. He knew what the old man meant, maybe in a few years, Shen Teng would be completely drained of his strength by the Nine Shadows Dungeon and die.

"Don't talk in his head, I can hear what you say anyway. ”

The little girl looked at the old man and said seriously, "I'm about to dislike you." ”

The old man hurriedly shook his head: "I...... This one...... All right. ”

Chen Xi asked the old man, "Is there any power that can replace her?"

The old man shook his head: "If there is, I ...... Alas, now it seems that the power of the Endless Abyss is still too strong, and even with the power of Shenteng, it is impossible to suppress it permanently. But think about it, there are countless things suppressed in the endless abyss, and there is only one Shenteng. ”

The little girl snorted: "I know what you're talking about, I can feel that there is an upside-down tower underneath this place, and the upside-down tower is constantly pulling out my strength, releasing and suppressing something disgusting from the spire." I know I can go if I want to, but I can't bear to ...... them."

She looked up at the nine stones hanging from the roof. Each stone is about the size of a fist and has a different color. The nine colors change from light to dark, arranged in the shape of a crescent.

"They're beautiful, aren't they?"

The little girl looked at Chen Xi and said seriously: "I just remember that I liked them a long, long time ago, because they can give me warmth." Sometimes I feel very cold and sleepy, but as long as they are there, I can find a little bit of warmth. I would often fall asleep in a daze, and they would wake me up every time. ”

Chen Xi felt that his heart was getting tighter and tighter, he looked at the old man, and now there was a guilt on the old man's face that could not be concealed. When the old man looked at him, he quickly turned his face away.

The little girl stepped aside and sat down, swaying her legs: "I'm getting shorter and shorter now, and I have to carry a small stool to change these dolls' clothes." ”

Chen Xi followed her line of sight, and saw the small stool she was talking about...... It was a high platform carved from white jade, which could be five meters square and one meter high, and it looked like it was ten thousand catties at the worst. This small stool is not something that ordinary people can lift......

"Can you please not leave in a hurry?"

The little girl looked at Chen Xi and said seriously: "I'm really bored, I've already changed all the clothes for each doll, isn't it...... I don't remember changing it a few times. ”

She stretched out her hand and pointed to a white jade woman not far away who had not yet finished carving: "That is the doll I haven't finished yet, but I really can't remember too many things, I can't remember what kind of face I should carve for this doll." I just remember that there was a big sister who was so beautiful, and she had a thousand looks, and every one of them was so beautiful. I must have remembered a thousand looks before, but now I can't remember them halfway through......"

"I'm thinking about ......"

She was a little distracted: "If one day I can't remember anything, will I die? I'm trying to find someone to cuddle with, but it's too cold for the dolls......"

She climbed into the arms of a white jade statue a little awkwardly, and Chen Xixian's posture of that statue was the appearance of holding a child in her arms. The little girl climbed up and shrunk into the statue's arms, as if she were asleep in her mother's arms. The statue's face is downward, as if singing a lullaby to lull a child to sleep.

She looked at Chen Xi while lying in the crook of the statue's arm and said, "It feels good to hold me like this, but she is so cold and I am so cold." ”

Chen Xi felt that his heart was so distressed that it was as if he had been cut by a knife.
