Chapter 33: The Thoughts of the Heart

The morning light appeared, and although it was only a faint light, the mountain road was already clearly illuminated due to the reflection of the snow.

"This is really getting more and more dangerous, worthy of the pole peak, it is really dangerous. Gu Cheng sighed as he looked at the stone steps in front of him, which were almost vertical.

Gu Cheng firmly grasped the upper edge of the stone steps with his fingers, and the whole person hung on the stone steps.

Beneath you are a misty, bottomless valley, and above are mist-shrouded, towering peaks.

The snow on the stairs had not melted, and fingers were holding on to the snow-covered stone steps as if they had been caught in an ice cave.

It didn't take long for Gu Cheng's hands to become numb and unconscious, and she used her almost stiff fingers to grip the stone steps tightly, and there were bursts of cold stinging pain from the tips of her fingers.

While Gu Cheng was climbing, he released his divine sense to observe the situation ahead.

After climbing for less than two moments, I saw that the stone steps above seemed to have smoothed down a lot.

Her heart was slightly relieved, and her hands and feet accelerated to climb the stone steps, and finally her hands grasped the gentle and wide stone steps in front of her.

With his arms stretched and his feet borrowed, the whole person quickly jumped up and stood on the wide stone steps.

Gu Cheng was on the stone steps, and there was a little smile on his face, holding his frozen hand in front of his mouth and "ha" twice.

Standing on the stone steps, Gu Cheng suddenly felt an unprecedented sense of ease.

A feeling of burnout rose in my heart, and a voice sounded in my head

- The road ahead is rugged and difficult, why do you have to climb the mountain?

The voice continued

β€”β€”Here, the pine hugging the snow and the snow is already a good scenery. Why don't you enjoy the snow here, you have worked so hard to climb the dangerous peak, and the dangerous peak may only be a dead forest and light trees, why not stay here?

Gu Cheng opened his lips slightly, and just wanted to refute.

I heard a familiar female voice say: "Miss, I have found you, I am in a hurry to kill the slave maid!" I can't run around in the mountains anymore, the slave maid has already said that I will let the young lady wait for me in the same place, you can see that the young lady's hands are frozen purple." ”

Gu Cheng turned his head suddenly, looked at the familiar round face, his throat was astringent, he bit his lip lightly, and said, "Yunxiu!"

"Miss, you don't know the slave maid for only a few hours. The young lady knows and presides over the debate every day, and ignores the slaves and maids. Yun Xiu pouted, and as she spoke, she picked up Gu Cheng's bruised and stiff hands and blew them on the side of her mouth.

"Miss, it's always so reckless, I'll bring you a rabbit fur shawl, Miss put it on. Yun Xiu said and draped the rabbit fur shawl on Gu Cheng's body.

Gu Cheng suddenly felt a warmth on his body, and turned his head to Yun Xiu and said, "Thank you for the cloak you helped me get." ”

"Miss, I really didn't expect that the master would still miss Miss, I sent a little maid to send winter clothes last week, and I will personally come to Hanshan Temple to pick up Miss back next week?" Yun Xiu said with her crystal eyes full of joy.

"Take us back?" Gu Cheng asked.

"The master has already found out that it was Gu Jiang who pushed the splendid girl into the water, and the master punished him and sent him away. Sun's mother was unkind and treated the orphan girl of the original match, and the master had already divorced her. Next week, the master will come to Hanshan Temple to pick up Miss, why doesn't Miss remember anything?" Yun Xiu tilted her head sideways, looked at Gu Cheng with questioning eyes, reached out and tightened the buckle of the cloak on Gu Cheng's chest and said, "Miss, hurry back to the temple, I don't remember anything about how it was frozen." ”

With that, he took Gu Cheng's hand and walked forward.

Yun Xiu gently tugged Gu Cheng's right hand, but Gu Cheng didn't move, and Yun Xiu tugged hard, but Gu Cheng still didn't move.

"Miss, why don't you leave?" Yun Xiu said with a pout.

"I'm not leaving, although I don't know who you are, but Yunxiu is my friend. Gu Cheng smiled.

Yun Xiu tilted her head, as if she didn't understand.

Gu Cheng raised his left hand and stroked Yun Xiu's cheek, brought his face close to Yun Xiu's face, stared at her eyelashes stained with fine snow particles with shining eyes, and sighed lightly: "Yun Xiu will not call herself a slave to me, she is already my friend." ”

Reaching out to remove the snow particles from Yun Xiu's eyelashes, he said softly, "However, thank you for letting me see her." ”

Gu Cheng said that, and slammed Yun Xiu's hand away.

Yun Xiu held her shoulders and frowned, "Miss, the arm of the slave you threw hurts so much." Miss, it doesn't matter if you don't want to be a slave. I can't help but go home, the lord punished Gu Jiang for the sake of the young lady, and divorced his wife!"

"Hypocritical family affection, indulged in this, like arsenic, it doesn't hurt to abandon it. Gu Cheng said with a determined look on his face.

The corners of Yun Xiu's mouth hooked slightly, and she disappeared out of thin air.

Gu Cheng's mind was clear, and when he raised his eyes, there were still snow-covered mountain stone steps in front of him.

"It turns out that the Try-to-Heart Ladder is like this, hidden in the stone staircase, and placed behind the steepest stone staircase. Take advantage of the most physically and mentally exhausted time, enter the battle to refine your heart. This is really insidious!" Gu Cheng sighed, looking down at her left hand, there was nothing in the palm.

"Ugh. Gu Cheng stood in place and sneered softly.

"Whether it's real or illusory, it's impossible to keep it in the palm of your hand. Just like me and Yunxiu, yesterday's parting, the difference between immortals and mortals, the road has long been different. But even if he knew that it was an unrealistic delusion, he wanted to stay with Yunxiu for a while. Even if I knew that Gu Qiling was cold and cold-blooded, and I would not punish Gu Jiang for taking us back to the house, but in this life, I still have delusions about blood and family in my heart. ”

Thinking of this, Gu Cheng's hand was clenched tightly, and he stepped forward to continue climbing the mountain.

Her pupils shrank suddenly, and her hairs stood on end.

Because there was a pair of footprints in the snow at her feet, and the footprints stretched from the bottom up, towards the top of the mountain.

"Who is it?" Gu Cheng released his divine sense and observed, and there was no one in front of him within the scope of his divine sense.

"I was clearly far behind others, and who overtook me in the middle of my confusion. ”

Gu Cheng looked up at the skylight, the morning light was still faint, it seemed that she hadn't been in the formation for long to refine her heart.

"Although I don't know who overtook me just now, but this person just bypassed me, and did not touch and harm me, this person can definitely make friends in the future. ”

Gu Cheng looked back at the deep valley under the stone steps, and his back tightened again.

"The thoughts in my heart are really harmful, but I just indulge in a moment, and I hand over life and death to others. ”

But the mountain road ahead is far away, and Gu Cheng is not allowed to sigh and reflect, so he still has to continue climbing.

Knowing that there was someone in front of him, Gu Cheng didn't dare to release all his divine sense.

In order to prevent her consciousness from being attacked, she only placed her consciousness outside the edge where her gaze could reach, which was safe and could be used as a supplement to her gaze.

Fortunately, the stone stairs in front of him have become much smoother, and the observation effect of divine consciousness is not so great.

The mountain stone stairs continued, and Gu Cheng didn't dare to relax, and kept struggling to climb.

It wasn't until noon that Gu Chen's divine sense seemed to have finally observed the platform at the top of the mountain.

There was a little boy standing on the platform with his back to Gu Cheng.

"It's here!" Gu Cheng said excitedly in his heart.

"The boy standing in front of him must be a new disciple who has just surpassed me. ”

Thinking of this, Gu Cheng's pace also sped up, and just when he was about to reach the top of the mountain, Gu Cheng's left hand was suddenly grabbed from behind.

Gu Cheng shook his hand vigorously, raised his left foot and continued to climb the ladder.

It's almost to the top of the mountain, no one can let her stay, she wants to climb to the top, she wants to worship Yuanying Zhenjun as a teacher.

Her left foot stepped on the stone steps, but her body did not move, and her left hand seemed to be pulling a burden of gold.

Gu Cheng shook her hand vigorously, but her left hand was still tightly held.

I heard an eerie voice say, "Where are you going?"

"This is ......" Gu Cheng turned his head sharply to look down.

I saw a boy who was unclothed and unkempt, and said sharply in his throat: "Gu Cheng!"
