Chapter 1102 The Nine-Stories Pagoda

"Xiao Zhou, are you okay?"

A white and slender hand stretched out from behind and put it on Zhou Shu's shoulder.

Zhou Shu shook his head, "It's okay."

"Are you all right?"

Li Aojian walked up to him, took a closer look, and said worriedly, "For the past ten days, you haven't moved at all. You said you were practicing, but why is your expression constantly changing? Anger, sometimes joyful, sometimes excited, sometimes sad, it is really hard to understand..."

"Old Li, isn't he insane?"

Zhu Dashan stuck his head in, staring at Zhou Shu with huge eyes, shaking his head up and down.

"Nothing, don't worry, it will be fine in a few days."

Zhou Shu smiled and waved his hands, showing a trace of caution, "Old Li, that monster hasn't come yet, has it?"

Li Aojian nodded, "Don't worry, I've been watching it every day. If I found anything, I'd have told you. I guess the monster has suffered a lot of injuries. Even if it's still following, it wouldn't dare to get too close to us."

Zhou Shu nodded, "Okay, I will continue to practice, and I will trouble you on the way."

Zhu Dashan frowned, and said with some displeasure, "What's the trouble? In the past ten days or so, two groups of Sea Clans have come, and they got down before they got enough beating. It's meaningless at all."

Zhou Shu smiled, "When I arrive at Hidden Dragon Valley in a few days, you must be the one to call me."

"Haha, I wish I could."

Zhu Dashan laughed, and retreated with his head shaking.

Li Aojian glanced at Zhou Shu, with a lot of concern, "Cultivation is cultivation, but be careful, you are practicing the soul method, right? It's not so easy to practice, especially in this kind of restless time. It is easy to make mistakes if you are steady, so you must be careful."

"clear."

Zhou Shu nodded, "Old Li, I'm fine."

In the blink of an eye, Li Aojian disappeared, Zhou Shu shook his head slightly, and seemed to be talking to himself, "I don't want to, but the city lord..."

After the city lord seriously said the terrible words "If you want to live, you can't want to die." Before Zhou Shu could ask what was going on, his spirit in Wushuang City was drawn into a place that never existed before. where you have been.

Obviously still in Wushuang City, but the scene is completely different from other places.

Although it is also a part of the tree, the surrounding branches are almost completely dead, and there is no trace of green. Between the dead wood and the branches, there is a faint gray dead air, like an ancient tomb in a barren hill. .

"Is there such a place in Wushuang City?"

Zhou Shu was still puzzled when a strange force came from behind him. He had no way to avoid it and was directly knocked into it.

In the gloomy atmosphere, looking along a few old dead branches, a lonely tall tower stands in the distance. That tower seems to be tens of thousands of years old, with mottled paint and holes everywhere, as if It will fall down with a light touch, and I don't know how it has been supported until now.

"It's called the nine-story pagoda."

The voice of the city lord sounded behind Zhou Shu, "It's called a nine-story tower, but it actually has eighteen floors, with nine floors up and nine floors down."

"Eighteen floors..."

Zhou Shu seemed to have realized something, and said slowly, "City Master, is this also a place to cultivate the soul?"

"That's right, you'll understand the moment you see the white dragon. Every protector of Wushuang City is in charge of a soul refining domain," the city lord said slowly, "but the nine-story pagoda is different from Yitian Pavilion and Shuren Lane. It is not only a test, but also a real life and death."

Zhou Shu wondered, "Real life and death?"

The city lord nodded and said calmly, "Yes, that is to say, after entering the tower, if you can't bear it, your soul may really die, and there is no way to save it. It's cruel, right? Because of this , the nine-story pagoda has been opposed by the guardians and envoys, so I abandoned the nine-story pagoda for a long time, almost ten thousand years ago, but recently I plan to reopen it, and you will be the first and possibly the last to enter The messenger of the Peerless City."

"Is it just for me? I understand."

Zhou Shu looked at the nine-story pagoda, his expression gradually turned indifferent, and he nodded, "Thank you, the city lord, for taking care of me."

"No question?"

The city lord was a little surprised, "So calm, it seems that you are ready?"

"Even if I'm not ready, the city lord won't let me out, right?"

There was a slight smile on the corner of Zhou Shu's mouth, "And now I'm also very interested in it."

The city lord nodded, "You do understand that I didn't want to do this, but your progress in the past few years has really disappointed me. With your previous state, this should not have happened. Time will not wait for anyone. I live It’s too long, and you can wait, but some people can’t do it.”

"yes."

Zhou Shu nodded slowly, without any excuses. Practice is like sailing against the current. If you don't advance, you will retreat. Although he is still making progress, the speed is by no means slow, but compared with the previous forging ahead, it is really much quieter. If it goes on for a long time, Harmful but not beneficial, what the city lord said is indeed reasonable.

"Since you understand, then I won't say more, you go in, the white dragon is waiting for you inside."

Zhou Shu nodded, without looking back, he walked directly to the nine-story pagoda.

"About the nine-storied tower, you may have guessed something, but I want to remind you that each floor in the nine-storied tower is more difficult than the eighteen floors of hell combined, but if you can pass, the benefits are unexpected ..."

The voice of the city lord gradually disappeared, and at this time Zhou Shu had already entered the nine-story tower.

The inside of the tower was filled with darkness, and it was almost impossible to see anything. In the vast expanse, two staircases could be vaguely seen, one going up and the other going down. In front of the stairs stood a shadow, which was the white dragon I had seen before.

"Up, or down?"

Bailong's voice was as dark as the dead air in the tower, it was unspeakable.

"Down."

Zhou Shu didn't ask any more questions, and it could be seen that Bailong didn't intend to explain at all.

Bailong nodded, walked away a few steps, and gave way to the downward stairs. Zhou Shu cupped his hands and walked slowly towards the stairs.

When he came to Bailong's side, Bailong suddenly moved, and a cloud of black mist filled Zhou Shu's body. In a flash, all the black mist got into Zhou Shu's right palm, forming a pea-sized of black spots.

"Senior, what are you doing?"

Zhou Shuli stood in place, glanced at the black spot, and looked at Bailong with some doubts.

"For the first time, I will give you a preferential treatment, and there will be no more after that."

Bai Long's voice was surprisingly cold, "When you can't help it, you can pierce the black spot and come back here, but you'd better not use it."

"Thank you, senior."

Zhou Shu nodded, walked towards the stairs, and took a step, as if stepping into a bottomless abyss, falling down unstoppably, and had a strange feeling that his strength was being pulled away little by little.

Boom!

I don't know how long it took, he fell heavily to the ground without any precautions, only heard a click, and his right arm broke from his shoulder.

The pain of that moment is indescribable.
