※※※※※※

Lin Zhongyu listened to the mysterious words of the middle-aged Confucian scholar, and couldn't help but feel a pang of confusion in his heart)

I don't know if I should take a step

He could realize that the middle-aged Confucian was warning or advising him

But it's a matter of importance, I don't know if Miaoqi and the others have been poisoned by the old demon of the black wind, how can they give up lightly?

Thinking of this, Lin Zhongyu bowed to the middle-aged Confucian scholar and said: "Thank you seniors for mentioning it, but my friends are all in danger, and I have come to ask for help, if I am slightly defeated, I will turn my head and go back, then my friends will not be buried in my hands?"

Listening to Lin Zhongyu's words, the middle-aged Confucian gently pinched the white child in his hand on the chessboard, and did not look up and said: "Save your friends, sincere and merciful, but the way of heaven is ruthless, and the Supreme is ruthless, why should you be persistent?

Lin Zhongyu looked at the middle-aged Confucian scholar, nodded vigorously and said, "Very important"

"Hehe" The middle-aged Confucian shook his head and continued: "The so-called world, there are many people who speak boldly, but when it comes to really giving up, but retreating, this is hypocrisy, if you want to save your friend, you need to give up your life but I am here, are you willing? Before answering, you have to think clearly, this is not a child's play, it is not a casual talk, if you promise not to go to the lord, I can go with you to recover the Xijing Demon Flame, what do you think?"

Lin Zhongyu was shocked when he heard this

In fact, in the world, what the middle-aged Confucian said was not unreasonable

Who in this world can give up their lives for the sake of friends? Most people talk about it, and when it is really their turn, a few do not hesitate to dodge

When the middle-aged Confucian saw Lin Zhongyu's thoughtful expression, he expected that Lin Zhongyu was only capable of speaking in vain

In any case, it is for the sake of friends, and this intention must be fulfilled

He didn't know that Lin Zhongyu was indeed hesitating in his heart at this moment, but he was not afraid that he would give his life to this middle-aged Confucian scholar

But there are still many things, waiting to do it yourself, you can't die, it's not his business alone

To be exact, it is the life and death of three people

Lin Zhongyu knew that he had no rights and no ability to choose for others, but after the size of a middle-aged Confucian scholar, it seemed that he could not choose himself

Because he is not alone now, there are people waiting for his help, although there are not many such people, but as long as there are, it is enough

Lin Zhongyu thought of this, shook his head and said in a low voice: "I'm sorry senior, I can't press my life to you."

"Oh?" The middle-aged Confucian saw through Lin Zhongyu's expression, he thought that Lin Zhongyu was greedy for life and afraid of death, so he was a little contemptuous, although Lin Zhongyu was now a woman

"Isn't there any explanation?" the middle-aged Confucian asked, a little teasingly

But all human beings want to make a high-sounding excuse for their fear and fear, so that they can appear to have some face

Lin Zhongyu seemed to see through the other party's thoughts and said: "To be honest, I am very greedy for life and afraid of death."

The middle-aged Confucian priest, hearing him admit so bluntly, wanted to sarcastically say a few words to him, but for some reason he couldn't say anything when he looked at Lin Zhongyu's beautiful face

I only heard Lin Zhongyu continue: "Because I am afraid of death, I don't want to entrust my life in the hands of others."

Of course, I want to save my friends, but I believe that they don't want to see me die for them, so I won't die lightly

So please seniors change a condition, as long as you can do it in the next, you will definitely not frown"

The middle-aged Confucian scholar listened to Lin Zhongyu's specious words, and for some reason felt that there was some nonsense, and it was clear that what Lin Zhongyu said was nonsense

But the middle-aged Confucian had no words to sarcastically mock Lin Zhongyu

Because what Lin Zhongyu said was the truth

How can anyone not be greedy for life and afraid of death? Who is not trying his best to survive between heaven and earth, and who is working hard and living tenaciously?

This process is the same for everyone

Until one day the end of life

"Since you are greedy for life and afraid of death, then do you dare to move forward?"

Lin Zhongyu raised his head and looked at the slanting upward ladder at the end of the square in the distance, and said, "It is precisely because of fear that I will understand the situation of my friends, who are now facing the cruelty of the old demon of the black wind and the vicious magic circle, and I actually stay out of it

If you can't save them, you choose to die with them in a distant place like this, and when you think about it, you don't feel so terrible."

After Lin Zhongyu finished speaking, he walked forward

The middle-aged Confucian was slightly stunned, thinking carefully about Lin Zhongyu's words just now, and just watched Lin Zhongyu go into the distance little by little, but this time he didn't stop it

Lin Zhongyu didn't know that he could really convince this middle-aged Confucian scholar

Of course, the middle-aged Confucian wanted to give his life to him to help himself, but Lin Zhongyu only believed half of it

But he didn't believe that this middle-aged Confucian could subdue the Xijing Demon Flame

Thinking of this, Lin Zhongyu still chose to come to the front of the ladder

But at the end of the square, the ladder was three zhang wide, and after each piece was half a foot, the color was black and shiny, and the steps extended upwards like steps

There were no handrails on the left and right sides of the ladder

Lin Zhongyu stood at the edge of the square and felt that the wind was unusual, and if he was not careful, he might be blown off by the strong wind

Although he can fly in the sky, it cannot be ruled out that the spell ban set by Garuda on these heavenly ladders will be unpredictable

At this moment, a voice as thin as a mosquito and fly whispered in Lin Zhongyu's ear: "Young man, I don't stop you, but I want to see if you dare to go up, as long as you step on the ladder, your whole body will be banned, that is, standing on the ladder, you will become an ordinary person, and after leaving the ladder, the ban will be lifted by itself."

This voice was made by the middle-aged Confucian scholar, and after speaking, I saw the figure of the middle-aged Confucian slowly fade in the air, and finally disappeared

Hearing this, Lin Zhongyu turned his back to the back and said thank you

Then he looked up at the ladder in front of him, and saw from afar that the ladder stretched like a thin line to the sky above

When I got closer, I saw that the ladder was made up of suspended stone slabs

If you look closely, the stone slabs are shaking slightly

It's the wind, Lin Zhongyu suddenly realized

This is also what he just discovered, on the square, he didn't feel any wind

Finally, Lin Zhongyu took a deep breath of the cold air in the sky

Then Lin Zhongyu raised one foot, stepped onto the first stone slab and tentatively stepped on it, although it was a little shaky, but overall it was still very stable

Then Lin Zhongyu didn't hesitate and stepped up with his other heel

Standing on top of the first stone slab

Looking down at the endless darkness below, only countless flames burned on the mountain immediately below, illuminating the heavens and the earth

Looking at the flames that were shaking uncontrollably, Lin Zhongyu silently used the true power in his body

Sure enough, I found that my body was empty, and I had become an ordinary person

Looking at the endless void below, Lin Zhongyu couldn't help but feel a little dizzy

Because his location at this moment is indeed too high, I am afraid that it will be described as thousands of miles

It's strange that this ladder is not connected in one place by ropes, but it is quite regular to go up according to the direction of inclination

Lin Zhongyu looked at it for a while, felt that there was no abnormality, and cautiously climbed another step

When Lin Zhongyu's feet fell on the second stone slab, he suddenly felt a huge force under his feet, Lin Zhongyu screamed, and his whole body fell on the stone slab, at this moment, there seemed to be an invisible big hand pushing and pulling him, and the next moment Lin Zhongyu intuitively felt that his body was light and fell from the stone slab

It was evident that he was about to break away from the slate

Thankfully, one of his hands grabbed a slight bump in the smooth stone slab

Huhuhu, Lin Zhongyu only heard the wind whistling in his ears, like a ghost crying god, and then he realized why the flames on the mountain below were shaking so violently, all because of the fierce splitting wind in this high place

At this time, Lin Zhongyu was really like a kite, blown by the strong wind, if he hadn't held the bulge on the stone slab hard, it would probably have fallen

Falling from such a high place, and the true power in Lin Zhongyu's body will be banned for an hour

Lin Zhongyu fell, and it was strange if he didn't die

Lin Zhongyu originally thought of the danger of this ladder before he climbed the ladder, but he didn't expect the cracking wind at this height, even if there was no wind, it would blow like a knife, if there was wind, it would be unimaginable

Lin Zhongyu gritted his teeth, but he felt that the gale was coming to his body, and his body was cold, but he knew that the more now, the more he could not give up, if he gave up, then what was the meaning of this?

Thinking of this, Lin Zhongyu gritted his teeth and used his arms to pull his body upward, wanting to climb onto the stone slab

Fortunately, now his body is a petite woman, and he doesn't know how much lighter he weighs than before, so in this way, Lin Zhongyu can still take advantage of it, otherwise he is as tall and burly as before, and it is really difficult to grasp himself with only two hands

But I saw Lin Zhongyu holding the protrusion of the stone slab with both hands, and his body was lightly curled slightly, and finally one leg was on the edge of the stone slab

Then with a slight force, the whole person lay on the stone slab like a spider, but he didn't dare to stand up

Can only crawl on the stone slab

The wind howled and whirred, and the sound of the wind washed over the earth and shook people's hearts like thousands of horses

Lin Zhongyu gritted his teeth, stretched out one hand to a stone slab above, and then went up in fear

When I came to the third stone slab, I felt that the strong wind in my body seemed to carry some sand and dust on my face, so it didn't hurt

But Lin Zhongyu never wavered in the slightest

This is also because of his long-term experience from Middle Earth to the Moon Famine, which has made his body a lot stronger and greatly exercised his endurance

Then Lin Zhongyu climbed up the fourth stone slab with both hands and feet, and Lin Zhongyu's hand always touched the protruding position on the stone slab

Lin Zhongyu also found that there was a handle-like object less than two inches on the left edge of the stone slab, and it was this thing that allowed Lin Zhongyu to grab it when he was on the second stone slab, so he didn't fall down

In the middle of the sky, in the middle of nowhere, Garuda looked at the jade hands and feet in the forest below and snorted coldly in a posture like an octopus

As time went on, Fang Qingyun gradually adapted to the climbing on the stone slabs, the wind became stronger and stronger, and the temperature became colder and colder

Lin Zhongyu saw that although Fang Qingyun's physique was good, he gradually felt that he was not breathing, and his legs were like lead, becoming heavier and heavier

Looking at the stone steps, it seems that there is no end to the sky

Little by little, time passed

He couldn't remember how many rocks he had climbed, until finally his eyes were blurry and he had trouble breathing

Because the wind is too strong now, Lin Zhongyu's eyes have been closed

He was sweating like rain, gasping for breath, but the sweat had just fallen and was dried by the cold wind

Tired, extremely tired

Lin Zhongyu had never been so tired as he was today, his hands and feet were sore, and they all began to go numb

But he knew that the more he did this, the more he couldn't stop, because it was likely that once he stopped, he would never be able to move

Then his hand slipped and fell off the stone slab, and he was greeted by an undoubted death

He wanted to take a break, he wanted to open his eyes, if he had reached the end of the stone slab and reached the top of the ladder, but he didn't

Now his body has no reason to support it, and now it is his tenacious will that supports himself to climb on top of it

Climb up and climb up and know the real end

At this time, Lin Zhongyu had an obsessive thought in his heart

Although Garuda will not necessarily promise himself when he climbs up, nor will he necessarily go to the West with him

But now Lin Zhongyu's idea is that he can only climb up, not fall down

Absolutely not

Sometimes human willpower is an absolutely terrible thing

At this moment, Asura, who was at the height of the heavenly dome, looked at Lin Zhongyu's small figure, and his expression had changed from ridicule to a trace of solemnity

Lin Zhongyu's small body at the moment, what kind of powerful strength is hidden that can support him to climb more than half of the ladder?

Asura knew very well how much pressure an ordinary mortal body would have to endure on the ladder of heaven

The wind blows incessantly

Lin Zhongyu closed his eyes and gritted his teeth, his beautiful woman's face, which was smooth without a trace of flaws, had now been scratched by the sand and stones carried by the wind

The blood clotted into a dark brown scar that looked a little scary

Finally, at this moment, Lin Zhongyu climbed a stone slab again

He was dizzy, and only heard a voice say: "Give up you have tried your best, you can't move, it's not easy to get here"

Soaked in sweat, his body trembled slightly, as if he was hesitating

He had to admit that he couldn't move, he really couldn't move

The voice in my ears sounded again: "Give up, give up"

Lin Zhongyu was unwilling, but his two legs did not obey the call at all, and his left hand was also holding the bulge on the left side of the stone slab

He was so tired, and now he just wanted to find a place to sleep well, not to think about anything, not to do anything

He finally couldn't care about anything else, and he really decided to give up

With his eyes closed, he leaned on the slate, clutching it tightly

At this moment, only one voice was heard

......

"Brother, never, never leave me, okay?"

"Good"

Miaoqi tied two to the sky, holding a string of sugar gourds and gnawed happily

Thinking of this, a smile appeared on Lin Zhongyu's face

A white figure and a purple figure shook in his mind at the same time

"Get up, get up, don't you care about me?"

Lin Zhongyu felt a tingling pain in his chest, and an inexplicable force rose, and then he raised his arm, and with the other arm, climbed up to the stone slab above, and then his legs and feet

At this moment, his arms were extremely flexible and powerful, and his movements were so smooth and unhindered, the only strange thing was that his eyes were closed

"Huh" Garuda let out a surprised voice when he saw this

Garuda's strange thing is that his body is obviously at the limit, even if a person with deep Dao power, when he reaches such a high place on the ladder, he will feel that he is exhausted from the jade cultivation in the forest at this moment, and after a slight pause, it is like being reborn, flexible as an ape, and in the blink of an eye, he has crossed hundreds of stone slabs, which cannot but surprise Garuda

Lin Zhongyu was walking like a machine at this moment, and the wooden man with his eyes closed was walking towards the top of the ladder at a very fast speed, and it didn't take long for the ladder to finally appear, and the end of the ladder was a stone cave in the void that suddenly appeared above

But the last bit of strength he mustered was only enough for him to climb this small distance

It's a pity that just when Lin Zhongyu was still the last stone slab from above

Lin Zhongyu had completely lost his strength

He can't do it, he can't do it anymore

It really doesn't work anymore

No matter what kind of image comes to mind, it can't be converted into power

Lin Zhongyu closed his eyes, where he didn't know that at this moment he only had one stone slab left, only knew that he might have countless stone slabs waiting for him

There is no hope, not even a chance of luck

At last he stopped moving, and the whole person lay on the stone slab like a wooden clay sculpture

Seeing this, Garuda looked at Lin Zhongyu with a slight regret

She also thought that the girl in front of her was the first person to climb the ladder of heaven and pass through guò with the power of a human being

But in the end, it fell short

Just as the dust settled on Garuda, Lin Zhongyu's arm suddenly moved

Yes, it really moved

His arm rose slightly, and finally fell above the last stone slab

Then his other hand slowly rested on the stone slab

At this moment, a strong wind blew, Lin Zhongyu's body slid to the side, and the hand fell back into the distance, and a small half of his body fell outside the stone slab (to be continued).
