Chapter 54: The Road to the Heavenly Mountain

Old man Zhou pondered for a while, handed the token back to Yao Xiang, glanced at Shi Sheng, and said, "Is this kid the Xiao family?" Yao Xiang shook his head and said, "No." Old man Zhou asked again: "Then he is an outer disciple of the Xiao family?" Yao Xiang said: "No." ”

Old man Zhou let out an "oh" and said, "That means, this kid has nothing to do with the Xiao family?" Yao Xiang was stunned and said truthfully: "I don't know." Old man Zhou pursed his lips and said, "It turns out to be an irrelevant person, old man, I am too lazy to heal the doctor." He waved his hand and said, "Hurry up, hurry up!"

Yao Xiang hurriedly said: "Senior, you can do well, save him! I will give you as much reward as you want!"

"Reward?" Old man Zhou sneered and said, "What kind of reward can you afford? Yellow and white things, magic energy crystals, these things, do you think the old man can see them?" said and waved his hand, and said impatiently: "Hurry up, hurry up, don't delay the old man's time, if you don't leave, the old man will kill people!"

Yao Xiang bit her lip, knelt on the ground with a "poof", kowtowed to Old Man Zhou, and said, "Senior, please show mercy, if you don't save him, he ...... He's going to die!"

Old man Zhou suddenly retreated a few feet, pointed at Yao Xiang and said: "You, you, you! Don't come to this set! Old man, I can't get used to other people crying and begging! The old man said that if he didn't save it, he wouldn't save it! It took time and effort not to say anything, and he wasted the old man's treasures! Hurry up! Where did you come from, where did you go back!"

Yao Xiang knelt on the ground, his eyes looked directly at Old Man Zhou, his eyes were very resolute, Old Man Zhou frowned, and said, "If you like to kneel, kneel! After walking for more than ten zhang, he turned around suddenly, and saw Yao Xiang still kneeling there motionless, as if he really wanted to kneel all the time.

Old man Zhou wrinkled his old face, looked at Yao Xiang for a while, and felt hesitant in his heart, Yao Xiang came with the Xiao family's token, he couldn't do too much, he gritted his teeth, and said loudly: "Forget it! I'm afraid of you! The old man will give you a chance!"

Yao Xiang said happily: "Thank you seniors!" Old man Zhou snorted. "Don't be too happy. As he spoke, he pointed to the stone ladder mountain road on the side. He said: "This mountain road leads directly to the old man's residence, a total of 9,999 steps, if you can walk through the stone steps before dark, you can reach the old man's residence." The old man will heal your friend. If you can't get there. Then go down the mountain obediently, and don't mess around anymore!"

Yao Xiang looked at the mountain road that seemed to lead to the sky, and her eyes were resolute. nodded and said, "The juniors must be ......."

"Wait!" Old man Zhou smiled and said, "In order to test your sincerity, the old man wants you to kneel in three steps, one buckle in nine steps, and one kneel and a half buckle if you are missing, and the old man will never save people!"

Yao Xiang's face changed color when she heard this, this mountain road has a total of 9,999 steps, three steps and one kneeling, nine steps and one buckle, so what year and month do you have to go?

Old man Zhou smiled and said: "How about it? Don't say that the old man is not close to people, the old man gave you a chance, whether you can grasp it or not depends on yourself." With that, he turned around, took a step, turned around suddenly, and said with a smile: "I almost forgot." Saying that, like a lightning flash, he appeared in front of Yao Xiang, stretched out his hand on Yao Xiang's forehead, and then flicked his sleeves, went up the mountain road, stepped on the stone steps and flew away, and there was a "old man go" daxiao in the distance.

Yao Xiang was a little bit by Old Man Zhou, and suddenly felt weak, and he couldn't lift up the slightest bit of true qi, that old man Zhou actually sealed Yao Xiang's cultivation, and Yao Xiang at this moment was like an ordinary person who didn't even have a foundation, and he couldn't use any source energy technique! How can this climb the Heavenly Mountain Road? Yao Xiang looked at the mountain road, and his heart sank straight down......

Old man Zhou rushed back to his residence, and he was very proud: "The old man set such a problem, it is simply an unsolvable situation, and it is impossible for anyone to complete it, not to mention that the girl is still carrying a person, well, she will definitely retreat in the face of difficulties! Even if she retreats by herself, the Xiao family can't blame the old man for not giving face, haha, wonderful, wonderful!" Old man Zhou didn't plan to heal Shi Sheng from the beginning, and set up a mountain road problem, purely just wanted to break Yao Xiang's thoughts, and Yao Xiang in the province couldn't kneel for a long time.

Under the mountain road, Yao Xiang looked up at the Tongtian Mountain Road that went straight into the clouds, and then turned his head to look at Shi Sheng on his back, but saw that Shi Sheng's face was getting paler and paler, half of the twelve hours had passed, and if he didn't rescue him within six hours, Shi Sheng would definitely die.

Yao Xiang bit her lip, her face showed a look of determination, stepped on the stone steps, walked up step by step, according to the requirements of Old Man Zhou, three steps and one kneeling, nine steps and one buckle, and moved forward without hesitation, in order to save Shi Sheng, she had already let go.

Old man Zhou set up this problem, originally just to force Yao Xiang to retreat despite the difficulty, but he never expected that Yao Xiang completely ignored his difficulties, and just followed what he said, kneeling down and walking up the stone steps without leaking.

Yao Xiang, who was sealed, was like an ordinary person, carrying a stone sheng weighing more than 100 catties, and he felt very difficult, not to mention that he had to climb the ladder and bow down, Yao Xiang, a delicate girl, could do all this, it was really not easy.

Just walked out of the hundred and ten steps, Yao Xiang was tired and sweaty, panting, his knees were weak for a while, he carefully put Shi Sheng on the stone steps, sat and rested for a while, and then picked up Shi Sheng and climbed up.

Yao Xiang walked and rested, climbed out more than a thousand steps, was already tired and sweaty, even the sideburns were wet, her legs and slender waist were very sore, she couldn't stop trembling, it was very difficult to stand firm, and it was really difficult to continue climbing.

A delicate girl, carrying a man weighing more than 100 pounds, climbed more than 1,000 stone stairs, this is already an incredible thing, however, there are still more than 8,000 steps from the end, how far away is that?

Shi Sheng's face became more and more pale, there was not a trace of blood left, Yao Xiang had no other way but to carry Shi Sheng, gritted his teeth, and with strong perseverance, he continued to climb up with his trembling legs.

It was easy to climb out of more than a thousand steps, Yao Xiang's legs were almost unconscious, his forehead and knees were bruised because of kneeling, and he was in pain, Yao Xiang was dizzy for a while, and suddenly his feet slipped, his body was crooked, and he was about to fall, Yao Xiang hurriedly moved Shi Sheng, and he was under Shi Sheng's body, and his forehead hit the stone steps heavily, and his head suddenly broke and bled out, which was unbearable.

There were more than 2,000 steps all the way, Yao Xiang didn't know how many times he fell, and every time he let himself be under Shi Sheng's body, Shi Sheng didn't fall at all, but Yao Xiang was already covered in bruises, and there were many bruises on his body, and tears rolled in Yao Xiang's eyes in pain.

Yao Xiang took out the wound medicine and smeared it on the wound on her forehead, finally stopping the bleeding, sweat, bloodstains, and dust stained Yao Xiang's face, and her wet hair was messily stuck to her face, and her peerless face could no longer be seen.

Yao Xiang wiped her tears, picked up Shi Sheng and continued to climb up, she hurt her left foot when she fell just now, it was very painful as soon as she used force, she could only limp up, it was more difficult than before, Yao Xiang gritted her silver teeth, took a few steps with difficulty, slowly bent down, supported the stone steps with both hands, and slowly bent her knees and knelt down, Rao is so, her legs still trembled, her feet slipped suddenly, her legs knelt straight down, her knees were heavily loaded on the stone steps, the painful Yao Xiang's tears fell down at once, and she couldn't stop it, and suddenly the Shi Sheng on her back slid diagonally, Yao Xiang couldn't care about the severe pain in her knees, and hurriedly reached out to pull Shi Sheng, but she was weak and was taken by Shi Sheng, involuntarily rolled down the stone steps.
