Journey to the Dark Steps

Yaxing didn't seem surprised, and said: "I heard that even Shangshangtian came here to do business. I didn't expect it to be so prosperous."

Guert said strangely: "Where are the people in the dark ranks? Didn't you say you need a pass? It seems that you can enter and exit here at will."

Yaxing shook his head and said, "It's inside, why don't you know anything?"

In front of this young man, Guert didn't know anything. He smiled wryly and thought to himself: I haven't been closed for a long time, so why don't I know about these changes.

The two walked all the way in, and Guert finally understood that the part before purgatory was all transformed into various towns by dark steps, which attracted a lot of traffic and made many dark step practitioners who had been living in the mezzanine space Those who enjoy a normal life.

At this time, what was in front of me was the part of the former purgatory. The outer layer was repaired with a tall wall to keep people away, and a door was opened in the middle, and there were two dark-rank guards at the door.

Yaxing stepped forward and groped his body for a long time before he took out a crumpled piece of paper and respectfully handed it over.

The guard's attitude was not bad. After watching for a while, he asked Yaxing to wait.

After a while, a middle-aged man came out, looked at the piece of paper, then at Yaxing, and said, "Where did you steal this from?"

Yaxing was startled, but then said: "You don't care where I got it, I got the pass, and you will let me in."

The middle-aged man curled up his mustache and said, "Yo? The kid is quite courageous, do you know where this place is? How dare you come here to mess around!"

Yaxing shouted: "I didn't mess around. I followed the rules you posted. This pass is real. Of course I can go in."

The middle-aged man raised his mustache and said, "The pass is good, but what about the recommendation? The purpose of our issuing the pass is to give some light-level cultivators who are interested in dark-level martial arts. You don't have any cultivation, we want It's useless to come."

Yaxing was speechless now, and after a moment of stupefaction, he shouted: "I... I can do it, I can learn anything, please let me in!"

The middle-aged man shook his head and said: "This pass, you can tell at a glance that you, a little bastard, stole it from somewhere. We don't need such a person in the dark ranks. The pass will be confiscated, and you can leave. If you continue to mess around Go down, don't blame us for being rude."

Seeing that the goal he had been working so hard for could not be achieved, Yaxing rushed up like crazy, shouting, "I want to learn, I want to learn!"

When the guards on both sides blocked him, his thin and small body couldn't resist it, and he was immediately ejected and landed on the ground. The onlookers all laughed.

Guert has been watching from the side, listening to the words of the middle-aged mustache, but thinking in his heart, what is the purpose of Dark Step's doing this? Moreover, it was specifically indicated that they were cultivators who already had a foundation in the light level, but logically, if you really want to expand the dark level, someone like Yaxing who has no foundation should be good.

Yaxing got up from the ground and wanted to rush in again, but of course the result was the same.

After being ejected again, Yaxing's determination to admit defeat was fully displayed, and he was about to charge up again, when someone beside him shouted: "Boy, don't bother, there was a person just like you who couldn't get in a few days ago." !"

Yaxing rushed over again, but the result was the same. He was ejected three times in a row, and the corner of Yaxing's mouth was already stained with blood.

The middle-aged mustache seemed a little angry, and said: "Did you just come here to make trouble? If you continue, I will immediately give you a foot restraint order, and you will not be allowed to come to Qingritian for the rest of your life."

Yaxing seemed to be going crazy, and shouted: "I want to go in, I want to go in!"

Guert couldn't stand it any longer, he took a step forward, grabbed Ya Xing, and said, "Ya Xing, stop making trouble."

Yaxing struggled twice and couldn't get away. Looking at him, he said coldly: "I don't want you to worry about it!"

Guert saw that the child was not ordinary and had a personality, so he frowned and let go.

Yaxing rushed over again, and the two guards blocked him again unceremoniously. The middle-aged mustache snorted coldly, ignored him, turned around and left.

Yaxing seemed to see that the opportunity was gone, and rushed over even more desperately. Finally, Guert shook his head, stopped him, and said at the same time: "Is Yong Liansi there?"

The originally noisy surroundings suddenly became quiet, and the two guards, including the middle-aged mustache who turned around and was about to leave, were all stunned.

The mustache turned around, looked at Guert's fat body, and said, "What did you say?"

At this time, Yaxing just kept thinking about going in, and didn't pay attention to what happened around him at all. Seeing that everyone stopped at this moment, he got short, walked around Guert's side, and rushed over.

The two guards looked at Guert in a daze at this time, and did not pay attention to Yaxing. Yaxing rushed over in one breath, bumped into the middle-aged mustache, and bit him on the hand, about to snatch it away. that pass.

The middle-aged mustache yelled loudly, and the true energy in his hands naturally flowed, and he slapped Yaxing with a palm.

Yaxing has no foundation in cultivation at all. This middle-aged man slapped down, and half his life was lost even if he didn't die. A tragedy was about to happen, but when the breeze blew, everyone's eyes blurred. Standing back at the door again.

This time even Yaxing was stupid. No matter how stupid they are cultivators, this speed and skill can still be seen.

Guert said indifferently: "What I said just now is, is Yong Liansi here?"

The middle-aged mustache was the closest to Guert just now, but he only felt that Yaxing disappeared as soon as the breeze blew in front of him, and his palm seemed to meet invisible pressure and stopped automatically. At this moment, he was dazed He said: "Are you... looking for... Yong... Miss Yong?"

Guert snorted and said, "What? Can't you?"

The onlookers all stared blankly at Guert, obviously they couldn't believe that such a wretched fat man dared to go directly to Yong Liansi, but judging from the hands he showed just now, he was indeed not an ordinary person .

Na Yaxing was also stupid, he never dreamed that the fat uncle who brought him would dare to go directly to Yong Liansi, pulled him immediately, and said, "What are you doing?"

Guert originally wanted to sneak in directly, but now that Yaxing was in such a miserable state, he really wanted to help him. Although he had prepared in advance for such a dazed situation, he still didn't expect that even Yaxing would say that.

He sighed, and said: "I said, I want to find Yong Liansi, if she is here, let her come out, uh, I can also go in."

Only then did the middle-aged mustache wake up, seeing that Yaxing knew the fat man, but he didn't dare to drive the fat man away like he did to Yaxing, and said cautiously: "We have no way of knowing Miss Yong's whereabouts, but where are you?" bit?"

Guert had already thought about the answer, and said, "Just go and tell her that her master will come and find her!"

The crowd roared again, and the people in the dark ranks over there raised their brows even more. Obviously, this sentence insulted the noblest person in their hearts. Guert had already expected their reaction and did not move, just waiting for their report.

The middle-aged mustache suddenly said: "Although I don't know who you are, it's very unwise to come here to make trouble."

Guert began to get tired of such opening remarks, and said: "If Yong Liansi is not around, I will do the same with Zhan Tian."

Everyone was stunned again, who dared to speak so loudly?

As the master of the dark ranks, Zhan Tian has already become a figure with the same lofty status as the high ranks, so he can meet casually even if he is a fat man?

Suddenly there was a commotion from behind, and a crisp voice called out in surprise: "Why are there so many people crowded here?"

Everyone looked back, there was already a long queue from the streets and towns behind to here, and all the people who were surrounded there just now had all rushed to this side.

Guert was surprised, and suddenly felt a sense in his heart, and smiled: "It turns out that she is back."

As soon as the words fell, two women came out from the crowd. One of them wore a light-colored long skirt, long hair shawl, and a faint smile on his beautiful face. His bright eyes shone with wisdom. After sweeping past, everyone lowered their heads, not daring to look directly at him.

Of course, this person is Yong Liansi, whom Guert is very familiar with. The strange thing is that her long brown hair, which was originally turned brown because of the "death and birth", has begun to appear black, and there are quite a few of them.

The girl next to her is the one who spoke just now. On her beautiful face, her bright eyes were looking back and forth curiously. She didn't come over excitedly until she saw Guert, Yaxing and others in front of the gate. , said: "Xiao Fang, what happened here ? Why are there so many people around?"

Guert glanced at the woman. Although she was not as beautiful as Yong Liansi, she was also a rare beauty with that charming demeanor. It seemed that Yong Liansi only appeared to accompany her.

As soon as Yong Liansi walked over there, his first reaction was to sense Guert. The two people got along with each other some time ago, which made them very familiar with each other, so they would know almost as long as the other party appeared, let alone Guert. Yong Liansi had seen the appearance of a fat man before.

She didn't seem surprised that Guert would come, but she just looked at Ya Xing standing beside Guert, and was a little curious about Ya Xing's identity.

The girl over there already knew what had happened from the middle-aged mustache, looked at Yaxing, and said, "The kid is making progress!"

Although Yaxing was rebellious, but judging from the respect the mustache showed her, he also knew that the girl's status was not low, so he kept his mouth shut.

The girl looked at Guert again, and said, "Who are you? Why are you looking for Sister Yong?"

Yong Liansi rushed over and said, "Ruoyi, he is my friend." As he spoke, his eyes swept over Yaxing again.

Everyone was in an uproar, they didn't expect that Yong Liansi would actually admit that he knew this fat man.

Guert immediately smiled and said, "Is it just a friend?"

Yong Liansi rolled her eyes at him and said angrily, "Then what else do you want to do?"

Everyone couldn't help being dizzy, including An Jie, who has ever seen Yong Liansi's expression like this?

Many people began to look at Guert with weird expressions. Only the four shadows of the dark steps who followed behind to maintain order looked at the fat uncle with some enlightenment.

Guert coughed twice, and said: "This kid wants to join your dark-level apprenticeship, please give him a chance." He said, pointing to Yaxing.

This Yaxing is also clever, and he has heard of Yong Liansi's name, so he hastened to bow down and said, "I want to join the dark ranks, and I also got a pass, but they won't let me, Miss Yong, please give me a chance!"

Yong Liansi looked at Guert, pursed his lips and smiled and said, "Of course I want to save face if you open your mouth, but he met you, why didn't he know to let you accept him?"

Guert shrugged and said, "I'm too lazy to hurt anyone, so is it convenient for me to go in?"

Yong Liansi waved his hand, Yaxing was lifted up by a force, and said: "I said it's inconvenient, won't you come in?"

Guert touched his nose, looked thoughtful, and said, "Well, of course not."

Yong Liansi glared at him, and said: "Then why are you talking so much nonsense." Saying that, she pulled Ruoyi up and walked forward.

The one who was called Ruoyi widened his agile eyes and looked at the two of them in shock.

Yong Liansi walked by, followed by the four shadows of the dark steps, and when they saw Guert, they bowed deeply, obviously recognizing him.

Those who have been following Yong Lisi all this time know that the only one who can make Yong Liansi show this look is Gurt, apart from the Holy Lord Zhantian.

Guert knew that they saw it, and he and Siying had met many times, so he patted them with a smile and signaled you were welcome, and then walked inside.

The middle-aged mustache was already trembling with fright, his rank is so respectful even when he sees Siying, now seeing that this dead fat man has a close relationship with Miss Yong, and Siying still respects him so much, in his impression, Except for Zhan Tian and Yong Liansi, Siying basically didn't say hello. At this time, he hurriedly stepped aside and stood aside, his calves shaking like a sieve.

Yaxing was also stunned. He didn't expect this very humble fat man to be so powerful that even Yong Liansi had to show face. He looked at their backs and wanted to call Guert, but he didn't have the courage The wound at the corner of the mouth began to ache.

Unexpectedly, Guert, who was in front of him, suddenly turned back at this moment, and with a flick of his finger, as if there was a divine light, Yaxing suddenly felt that the pain all over his body disappeared.

He was about to thank him when Guert patted him on the shoulder and said, "Work hard, no matter what level you are at, as long as you work hard, success will belong to you." After finishing speaking, he turned around and the person disappeared up.

Yaxing stared blankly at his receding back, until the mustache respectfully invited him in, and then he woke up abruptly.

"How did you help that kid?"

Guert looked at the surrounding environment, did not answer Yong Liansi, but said: "This is the former purgatory, here, and here, there were corpses at that time."

Yong Liansi looked around and said with a smile: "Yes, most of them have not moved, including the inside. This is not the end point, so there is no need to exert too much effort."

Guert was surprised, it was not the end, this sentence contained too much meaning.

Yong Liansi smiled slightly and said, "I won't ask about that kid, why are you here?"

At this moment, Guert replied instead: "I met that kid in Liberty Day. Seeing that he wanted to come to the secret class to learn from a teacher, I happened to be coming too, so I brought it along. Step by step, add bricks and tiles."

Yong Liansi couldn't see any deep meaning in him, but the child's bones are not bad, so he can consider training him.

Guert continued: "As for the reason why I came here, you should be very clear. I have wasted a lot of time just now, so I won't go around in circles anymore. I want to see Zhantian!"

Everyone was startled, including Ruoyi next to him, and the Dark Step Four Shadows following behind.

Yong Liansi sighed, and said: "I will help you do what I promised you. I haven't replied to you for so long. There are two reasons. One is that I have some very important things to deal with here. The key reason..." As he spoke, there was a slight pause in his language.

"What?" Gould asked.

Only then did Yong Liansi say: "The Holy Master is not here."

Guert was surprised and asked, "Where did you go?"

Yong Liansi shook his head and said, "He was already gone when I came back."

Ruoyi finally couldn't bear it anymore, and shouted, "Sister Yong, who is he?"

Guerte ignored her, frowned and said, "He's not here, what should we do?" While speaking, his eyes lit up, and he looked at Yong Liansi.

The tacit understanding between the two was evident at this time, Yong Liansi shook his head and said: "He is under the custody of the Holy Master, and I don't know where I am, let alone have the right to permit."

Ruoyi became even more confused, stomping her feet repeatedly and said, "Sister!"

Yong Liansi hurriedly coaxed Ruoyi, while Gurt was thinking about what Yong Liansi said just now. He meant to see his father, but the answer Yong Liansi gave him made him helpless.

Guert stopped in his tracks and said, "Since Zhan Tian is not here, I won't stay anymore, I'm leaving."

Yong Liansi was talking to Ruoyi in a low voice, when suddenly Ruoyi stared at Guert with glowing eyes, and said, "You, you are Guert?"

Guert was surprised. He originally thought that Yong Liansi would lie to her alone, but unexpectedly he revealed his real identity. He didn't know who this girl was, but depending on the situation, Yong Liansi would be able to accompany her in person. will be ordinary people.

But he didn't have time to waste any more time here, so he ignored Ruoyi, waved his hands to Yong Liansi and said, "I'll go first." He was about to leave after speaking.

Before Yong Liansi could speak, Ruoyi had already grabbed Guerte and said, "Don't go!"

Gurt was startled. Although he was not prepared, but with their level of cultivation, it is impossible for him to be stopped casually just by natural reaction.

He swept Ruoyi in surprise, then looked at Yong Liansi, but Yong Liansi didn't speak, just laughed secretly.

Gurt said, "What's the matter?"

Ruoyi stomped her feet and said, "Hey, why are you so awkward!"

Guert frowned, looked at Yong Liansi, but said to Ruoyi: "I still have something to do, what do you want me to do?"

Ruoyi is not thin-skinned, raised his eyebrows and said, "I can't call you if it's nothing."

Guert looked at Yong Liansi, obviously if Yong Liansi didn't speak again, he was going to turn his face.

Yong Liansi snickered and said, "Hey, this beauty wants to get to know you, so can't you cooperate?"

Guert became more and more suspicious of Ruoyi's identity, and it should not be from the dark ranks, otherwise, who would dare to speak like this in front of Yong Liansi, saying: "How to cooperate?"

Yong Liansi raised his head, his messy black hair was fluttering in the wind, there was a faint smile on the corner of his mouth, and he said: "Everyone says that Guert is the most beautiful man in the world, and what my sister likes to watch most in her life is Beautiful man, I met you today, of course you can't miss it."

Ruoyi suddenly snorted softly and said, "I know where Brother Zhantian is going."
