After returning to Dengtian Castle, Gu Meng'er and Liu Zheji found an inn to stay. Gu Meng'er didn't speak during dinner in the evening, and Liu Zheji didn't dare to ask, until Liu Zheji finally went back to their rooms.
I couldn't help but ask.
Gu Meng'er was not prepared to pay attention to him, but she was holding back a trace of doubt in her heart, so she wanted to test Liu Zheji's thoughts. When she saw no one around, she pulled Liu Zheji into her room.
"What do you think is the purpose of what happened today?" Gu Meng'er hesitated and asked.
Liu Zheji didn't expect Gu Menger to ask this question, but he still answered: "Auntie, do you know about the spiritual beast Shui Linglong? Will they come here for this? I remember my uncle said this."
"Shui Linglong?" Gu Meng'er has really never thought about this problem. Shui Linglong is a very strange spiritual beast. When they are young, they are very weak and only have the strength of middle-term acquired warriors. When they reach adulthood, their
The strength will undergo earth-shaking changes and directly become an innate spiritual beast, so every time a Shui Linglong appears, many warriors will flock to it.
"A group of innate warriors would go to war just for a water exquisite."
Gu Meng'er thought for a while but still couldn't come up with any answer, so she gave up. The only thing she was worried about was that she would meet other warriors during this trip, because Shui Linglong appeared at Luoxia Peak, and the place they were going to was called Sunset Peak. Sunset
The peak is above Luoxia Peak, and the two peaks are not very far apart. If someone is on Luoxia Peak,
Xia Feng is searching for Shui Linglong, so he will inevitably encounter this group of people here. This is something that has to be considered, because there is no law in the Hengduan Mountains, and it is very common for people to kill people and get goods after a disagreement. Gu Meng'er, the acquired warrior, is not afraid
, the only thing she fears is that the innate masters will cause trouble for her.
"Forget it." Gu Meng'er stroked her forehead. It was useless to think too much. Just take it one step at a time.
Early the next morning, the platform was full of people, all of them were warriors waiting to enter the ladder to heaven. The number of people who came today was twice as many, and Gu Menger came a little later and was squeezed out.
outside the crowd.
"It seems that there are more people today." Wu Tianxing looked at the crowd around him with a smile, and seemed to be in a good mood.
"Today we made an exception for climbing the ladder. Fifty people can go up. The old rule is five spiritual stones per person." Wu Tianxing gestured with five fingers. After the gesture, he smiled proudly at Liu Zheji, who was probing his head.
Although it was still five spiritual stones this time, everyone who had learned about the situation yesterday did not say anything. Everyone nodded unanimously to express their acceptance.
"Wait a minute, Tianxing, didn't you find a problem?" Lao Zhu walked out of the crowd, looked around and asked Wu Tianxing.
"What?" Wu Tianxing asked confused.
"Didn't you notice that there are more than fifty people here? How do you think we should decide who will go up first and who will go in last?"
After hearing this, Wu Tianxing suddenly realized that he had never realized this problem before. Today, there are at least several times more people on the platform than yesterday. Even if the ladder can accommodate fifty people, it cannot accommodate hundreds.
People.
"Do you have a better idea?"
Wu Tianxing lowered his head and thought for a while, then asked Lao Zhu.
Lao Zhu touched the short black beard on his chin and said: "Needless to say, innate warriors can definitely come, if they have friends and followers, they can definitely bring them with them. As for the others..." Lao Zhu deliberately lengthened his words.
His tone was just right for others to hear, which made the warriors on the platform unable to help but curse him in their hearts.
"Of course strength is the most important thing!" Lao Zhu chuckled.
Liu Zheji's heart skipped a beat when he heard this. In terms of strength, he wasn't even as good as the day after tomorrow, wouldn't it mean that he wouldn't be able to make it? He hurriedly looked at Gu Meng
Son, the other party glanced at him and returned to his expression as calm as water.
"Then I'll do as you say." Wu Tianxing nodded while arranging his men to count the number of innate people.
A moment later, under the watchful eyes of the crowd, several innate masters took the lead in standing on the ladder to heaven, and a dozen followers escorted them onto the ladder after them.
"Everyone, there are exactly 35 places left. If any masters feel that they are capable, they can come forward to compete for the places. Don't hurt your kindness." Wu Tianxing said, "Please stop." In fact, he wished they could fight each other.
The more powerful the better.
As the saying goes, those who watch the excitement are not afraid of big troubles. Under Wu Tianxing's instigation, the crowd booed and shouted, which suddenly resounded throughout Dengtian Castle.
Just as everyone was trying to give in, Gu Meng'er didn't know when she left Liu Zheji's side. She stood in front of the ladder and said coldly to the people below: "I want two places."
"Wow!"
"You guys let a bitch take the lead. If I had known I would have done it."
Seeing a girl named Gu Menger standing here in the crowd, some idiots immediately started to make moves, while some real experts still kept watching.
"Little girl, your waist is so thin. If you get caught in a fight, I will feel sorry for you." A red-faced strong man with an unshaven beard walked out of the crowd, staring at Gu Meng'er's eyes unscrupulously.
face, and said obscene words in his mouth.
"Ha." Gu Meng'er instead chuckled. That smile was so charming that the crowd seemed to be under a restraining spell, and everyone's breathing slowed down for half a beat.
When the red-faced strong man opposite saw this scene, his pupils shrank to the shape of needlepoints. Only then did he remember something. He waved his hands, and a look of pleading appeared on his face. Before the words came out of his mouth, only a white line appeared.
Ying Qi approached him, and Gu Meng'er used a mountain-shaking sea move, hitting the strong man's chest with her shoulder. Then she stretched out her hands and pressed on the man's chest again, and her whole body returned to the chest.
In situ.
"Bang." The red-faced strong man's face turned pale for an instant, and then turned gray. His body fell to the ground as softly as mud. His internal organs and bones seemed to be broken into powder, and his body on the ground turned out to be like liquid.
Slides the same.
"ah!!"
Seeing this horrific scene, the crowd went crazy. Liu Zheji's scalp went numb. He looked at Gu Menger in horror, as if he was seeing her for the first time.
"Okay!" Wu Tianxing didn't expect that there was such a master in this group of people. As an innate master, he didn't know what Gu Meng'er had done with the attack just now.
"Was this a martial skill just now?" Lao Zhu and all the innate masters were shocked.
"If this trick is used on us, we might be seriously injured, right?" The young master in Tsing Yi frowned and said worriedly.
"Well, is there anyone else who challenges?" Seeing that the scene had turned cold, Wu Tianxing asked, touching his nose in embarrassment.
Everyone was silent.
Seeing that no one challenged her, Gu Meng'er walked to the crowd with a cold face and picked up Liu Zheji. During this period, no one even dared to look at her.
"Next one." Seeing Gu Meng'er and Liu Zheji sitting down on the ladder to the sky, the crowd below suddenly became commotion again.
"That was the witch just now?" A fat man in the crowd asked the skinny old man next to him.
"Looking at the moves, it looks like the unlucky guy died miserably. It's the first time I've seen a witch take action." The skinny old man said with a solemn expression.
The name "Witch" has been rumored in the Hengduan Mountains for a long time. Legend has it that she is a very powerful female warrior. She is merciless every time she attacks. Those who fight with her will either die or be injured, and the bodies of those who die will be transformed.
Make a ball of soft mud.
The monsters in Hengduan Mountain are also
Many warriors who went up the mountain to collect herbs and gain experience would find the corpses of some powerful monsters, which were as soft as mud.
Next, except for a few outstanding warriors, the remaining people were compared with each other, and finally the remaining places were decided.
"Okay, we have enough people. We are going to climb the mountain immediately. There is one more thing. The ladder to the sky will not be opened after tomorrow." As soon as Wu Tianxing finished speaking, the crowd immediately exploded.
"Why won't it be turned on tomorrow?"
"Holy shit? I can't do it anymore. Wu Laoer, please give me my place back."
"When can it be opened?"
Wu Tianxing rubbed his nose and said: "Because I want to go up too, no one is in control of the ladder, so only my father and I can use it when we come back."
Everyone was speechless, but the matter was a foregone conclusion, and no one had the courage to question an innate master.
On the ladder to heaven, Gu Meng'er and Liu Zheji were sitting in the corner. The other Houtian warriors were far away from them. Even if there were seats here, they wouldn't sit on them. They would rather stand far away than get close.
"Haha, our group of innate masters are not as good as an acquired warrior." Lao Zhu and other innate masters sat together. Lao Zhu couldn't help laughing to himself when he saw the scene on Gu Menger's side.
"What do you think she has a chance of winning against us?" Wu Tianxing glanced at Gu Menger and said to everyone.
"The day after tomorrow is the day after tomorrow. No matter how powerful she is, she can't get close to us. Xian Qi Hai is no joke. She has been exhausted countless times." Lao Zhu thought for a while.
"Indeed, the difference between innate and acquired perfection is just one step, but I heard that the acquired external skills are as perfect as those of innate masters. This girl should be practicing physical training."
"I think." At this moment, the young master in Qingyi, who had been very silent since just now, suddenly interrupted. Wu Tianxing, Lao Zhu and others looked at him doubtfully.
"I think we might fall if there's a sneak attack."
Young Master Tsing Yi took a deep breath and said slowly: "I know her. She is an elder of the Gu family in Gu City. I met her in Hengduan Mountain when I first entered Xiantian. At that time, she..."
There was a look of terror on the face of Young Master Tsing Yi, which shocked Wu Tianxing and Lao Zhu.
"What did you see?"
The young man in green swallowed his saliva and said slowly: "At that time, I was looking for a kind of spiritual grass near the Sunset Peak of the Hengduan Mountains. At the foot of the mountain, I noticed that there were people nearby who seemed to be fighting. Because the movement was really loud, I didn't have the courage as a newbie.
Went to watch the fight, and after a few hours the sound of the fighting changed.
I only had the courage to take a look when I was a child. I was far away at that time, but I still remember the scene clearly. There were three people there, two lying on the ground and one standing. The lying one was wearing Zhenfamen clothes.
, I know one of them, he is Jiang Yuzhou from Zhenfa Sect."
"Jiang Yuzhou???!!!!!!" Wu Tianxing stood up in shock. His movement was a bit too big, and all the warriors in the ladder looked at him.
"Nothing, nothing." Lao Zhu suppressed the shock in his heart and hugged the people around him, while pulling Wu Tianxing to sit down.
"Are you sure it's Jiang Yuzhou?" Lao Zhu asked in a low voice.
"It's not wrong. I once learned a swordsmanship from Senior Jiang. His sword was an Ice Spirit Sword. Even though we were far away at the time, I could still recognize the sword with its special shape."
"No wonder Zhenfamen has been so low-key recently. Without an innate master in the sect, they can't tolerate being low-key." Lao Zhu thought of Zhenfamen's recent actions and immediately believed in Mr. Tsing Yi.
"Whether she has innate strength or not, we should be cautious and don't provoke that woman under unknown circumstances." Wu Tianxing took a deep breath and made a decision.
