The next morning, accompanied by the morning glow, a black car was driving on the wild road.
Senior Brother Fu was dragged in to be the driver. Yang Qingqing sat in the back seat, quietly looking at the fields outside the window in trance.
Du Yu was fully armed. He wore a close-fitting gray combat uniform with a high collar that covered the lower half of his face. He also wore a bearded tree cloak with the hood pulled down to cover the upper half of his face.
...
Well, he looks shameless in front of others.
Du Yu also held Demon Soldier Qingfeng in his arms, looking out the window at the rapidly retreating fields, his fingers unconsciously twisting the bow handle.
"Don't be nervous." Fu Jianzhou had a warm smile on his face, glanced at Du Yu, and comforted softly, "It has been four months since the Shadow Gu Tower appeared, and countless demon control people have come forward to succeed it, but to this day,
There has still not been a single death.”
Hearing this, Du Yu nodded.
Fu Jianzhou added: "At most, he will be seriously injured and comatose."
Du Yu: "..."
Fu Jianzhou looked at the rearview mirror with a very respectful attitude: "Master Qing, I heard that the Shadow Gu Tower will spit out those demon controllers who are seriously injured and unconscious?"
Yang Qingqing made a nasal sound: "Yeah."
Fu Jianzhou looked at Du Yu again: "You heard it, junior brother, don't worry."
The change of titles between underclassman and junior brother obviously means that the relationship between the two parties has become closer.
In fact, Fu Jianzhou really likes this bright-eyed junior brother. Not only because of Du Yu's hard training, but also because of the word "Jianzhou".
Of course, Du Yu was not qualified to give anyone a name. A few days ago, Fu Jianzhou went to Qingshi's house to deliver fruits and vegetables. When Qingshi stayed for lunch, Yang Qingqing mentioned this misunderstood name.
Fu Jianzhou also didn't expect that after becoming a cook for a time and cooking a sumptuous meal, he would actually be awarded the title of Qingshi.
He liked the name very much, especially after learning the little story behind it, he found it even more interesting.
He repeatedly asked Du Yu what the explanation for this name was, but Du Yu gave him the words "The sword reaches the world and is the best in any state."
The young master didn't have any reaction, but Fu Jianzhou was very concerned. He always felt that Du Yu's explanation was a bit hesitant and seemed to be made up.
"Senior Brother Fu, have you ever entered the Shadow Gu Tower?" Du Yu asked curiously.
Fu Jianzhou shook his head: "The Qingshi also lined up for me, but before it was my turn, the Shadow Gu Tower had already been conquered."
Du Yu's heart moved and he asked hurriedly: "So you are a third-level demon master?"
Suddenly, a cold voice came from the back seat: "If your senior brother works as hard as you do, his achievements will be ahead of mine."
Fu Jianzhou said hurriedly: "Qingshi is so complimentary, there are not so many what-ifs."
Du Yu's expression is weird. Are you sure the young master is praising you?
Yang Qingqing looked out the window and said softly: "It's not too late now, you are about to break through."
"Yes, Qingshi, I will ask you to protect me at that time."
"Um."
Seeing that the master and apprentice stopped talking, Du Yu asked in a low voice: "Asylum?"
Fu Jianzhou explained patiently: "The Great Demon Master is the qualitative change period of our human race. Entering this stage, we can also gather demon souls.
Although we do not have a second life like monsters, monsters are also existences that go against heaven and are not allowed by God. When the demon master breaks through the great demon master, the accident rate is very high, and death
The rate is also very high.”
"Jianzhou."
"Huh?" Fu Jianzhou hurriedly looked in the rearview mirror.
The woman in the mirror glanced at him coldly, her lips parted slightly: "You talk a lot."
Fu Jianzhou patiently answered his junior brother's questions, naturally out of good intentions. He was just too kind and easy-going to be so knowledgeable.
Yang Qingqing did not want to instill dangerous messages such as "accident rate" and "mortality rate" into Du Yu. After all, he was still young.
Moreover, you must keep your mind focused on the journey to control the demon, and you must not sow the seeds of worry or withdrawal.
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry." Fu Jianzhou's heart tightened and he apologized repeatedly. Fortunately, the Shadow Gu Tower saved Fu Jianzhou, and he hurriedly said, "We are here."
Du Yu leaned over and looked up through the car window in front of him, curiously looking out. Sure enough, he could vaguely see a tower spire in the forest on the right front.
Seeing Du Yu's reaction, Yang Qingqing felt a little relieved, but also a little surprised.
Is this kid very big-hearted?
Don't you take your own life seriously?
The car turned onto a mountain road, passed through sentinel checkpoints, and finally drove into a military camp.
The three masters and apprentices got out of the car, and several soldiers immediately came forward. The leading male soldier saluted Yang Qingqing: "Young Master, you are well."
The male soldier was in his mid-forties, facing the young Yang Qingqing, his face was full of respect, which seemed to have gone beyond the respect that ordinary soldiers had for the demon spirit teacher.
"Liu Ying." Yang Qingqing smiled lightly and nodded gently, "How many more are ahead of us?"
"You came early, there are still 5..." Before Liu Yingzhang finished speaking, he heard a burst of exclamations.
"ah!"
"Careful! Just tap, tap, tap!"
Everyone hurriedly turned their heads and looked around, only to see a figure flying out in front of the majestic ancient pagoda.
The man looked more like he had been kicked out. His body turned into stones and "floated" on the loess road, rolling all the way and stirring up bursts of dust.
The soldiers rushed forward and stopped the demon controller who was thrown away.
Battalion Commander Liu looked at Yang Qingqing, nodded and said: "There are four more in front of us. Is this the student we want to enter the tower?"
Fu Jianzhou, who was full of energy and had excellent temperament, waved his hands repeatedly and signaled to Du Yu, who was standing aside and had no face to see others.
Battalion Commander Liu turned around and found Du Yu standing alone, looking up at the majestic ancient pagoda carefully.
The Shadow Gu Tower has seven floors in total and is sixty or seventy meters high. From the outside, you can still faintly see the shadow of the red wall paint and gold eaves.
It's just that due to its age and vicissitudes, the walls have peeled off in pieces, and the color is dim, and it is no longer as magnificent as it once was.
The top floor of the ancient pagoda is missing a wall. Thanks to this, Du Yu, who has excellent eyesight, can see the decoration inside the pagoda. Except that it is a bit old, there seems to be nothing special?
"Go and register for Du Yu."
Fu Jianzhou: "Yes!"
Yang Qingqing walked to Du Yu's side and stood with his hands behind his back: "The structure inside the tower you see now is countless."
Du Yu: "What do you mean?"
Yang Qingqing looked at the top of the tower and said softly: "When you enter the tower, you will see a different scenery. Do you know why it is called Shadow Gu Tower?"
Du Yu shook his head.
Yang Qingqing's special training for Du Yu was relatively strict, requiring him to be undistracted and focus on polishing his skills. He never described the ancient pagoda to Du Yu.
The voice of Commander Liu came from behind: "The shadow of the phantom, the bewitching Gu."
The male soldier stepped forward and, for Yang Qingqing's sake, personally answered Du Yu's question: "Everyone will see different scenes when they enter it. Even demon controllers of the same rank will see different scenery.
same.
This strange ancient tower demon soldier gives different worlds to different people.
The only thing that remains unchanged is that demon controllers in the same rank witness similar stories in their respective scenes."
Du Yu nodded thoughtfully: "So, the ancient pagoda wants to tell us a story. It creates different world scenes, just so that people who enter the pagoda can better understand the story."
Hearing this, Battalion Commander Liu couldn't help but raise his eyebrows slightly and said in approval: "As expected of a disciple of Qingshi, he has great ideas."
Du Yu turned to look at the male soldier and asked, "What is the story of the Demon Controller rank?"
Battalion Commander Liu: "As of now, we only have the beginning of a story. You will experience an assassination."
Du Yu: "Assassination?"
Battalion Commander Liu nodded: "Maybe you will appear in a village, or in a ruins, or in a mountain forest, or in a cave. In short, no matter where you are, you will experience an assassination."
Du Yu: "What then?"
Battalion Commander Liu shook his head: "No demon control disciple has survived this assassination. I hope you can give us more answers."
While he was talking, another person flew out of the tower, no longer from the door, but from the window on the third floor.
The soldiers stationed outside the tower hurried to pick him up. Battalion Commander Liu sighed deeply and said, "Let's go, put on your equipment."
"good."
After waiting for only a few hours, the demon controllers who photographed in front of Du Yu all returned without success.
One of the people who flew out from the second-floor window was a great demon master.
The old aunt was kicked out. She looked disgraced and her face was obviously a little uneasy. She actually made a big hole in the ground with her fist!
Under the gaze of countless pairs of eyes, the old aunt stood up slowly. In her anger, no one dared to come forward and ask.
She calmed down for a while, then suppressed her anger and nodded to the demon soldiers around her to apologize.
"It's your turn." Yang Qingqing patted Du Yu's shoulder, feeling a little disappointed. She was also a master of demon control, and she knew what it felt like to be expelled in public.
At this level, who is not respected by everyone?
But your so-called pride, your glory, including your powerful strength that is feared by the world, are all worth mentioning in front of this ancient tower demon soldier.
Du Yu stood up and walked towards the door of the ancient pagoda.
"I will watch you on the monitor, and I will contact you in time if necessary." Yang Qingqing stretched out her hand and tightened the miniature camera tied to the side of Du Yu's head.
She put one hand into Du Yu's hood and checked Du Yu's invisible earphones. Her cold fingers touched Du Yu's ears, which made Du Yu's face turn red.
"Go." Yang Qingqing took a step back and smiled lightly at Du Yu.
There was no pressure, no order. There was only encouragement and a touch of expectation in her beautiful eyes.
so......
Why let down such a person?
Du Yu turned around and walked away, stepping into the tower!
From the outside, the first floor of the tower was an ordinary scene, with simple and old decoration. But when Du Yu stepped across the threshold, he found that he was standing in the night?
"Tick-tock~tick..."
Little bits of drizzle fell on Du Yu's coat, making a thin sound.
Du Yu looked surprised. He looked around and found that he was standing next to a busy street!?
In the cold rainy night, the neon lights kept flashing.
The vehicle drove through the street, splashing water.
The two pedestrians walking towards each other were holding umbrellas and holding arms, like an intimate couple on a rainy night.
However, the couple under the umbrella has no face, but a face made up of a cloud of gray mist.
Weird and scary!
Du Yu was extremely vigilant and hurriedly observed his surroundings.
In this bustling, noisy, but strange and cold city street, gray foggy figures wearing dark clothes are walking in a hurry, not knowing the purpose or direction, and where they are going.
"Ling~Lingling~"
Very suddenly, bursts of crisp bells sounded from behind.
Du Yu suddenly turned his head and looked around. The person was coming at an extremely fast speed. He only saw a petite figure wearing a red raincoat, passing by like the wind.
She knocked away pedestrians and quickly ran to the corner of the street.
Du Yu's pupils shrank slightly, the pedestrians in the night were all gray and black, only the petite figure was a bright red!
"Wait a minute..." Du Yu took a step to chase after him, but his words and movements stopped at the same time.
For some reason, the noisy city suddenly became quiet, and the vehicles and pedestrians were frozen in place.
Between heaven and earth, there was only the sound of rain dripping.
Under the umbrellas and raincoats, gray foggy faces slowly faced Du Yu. Even though they had no eyes, Du Yu still felt that he was locked in!
"Gudu." Du Yu's Adam's apple squirmed as he slowly took a step forward in this still world.
As the toes of the shoes hit the wet asphalt road,
The couple holding umbrellas in front took steps again and walked towards Du Yu...
