This question fell into Du Wei's ears, and Du Wei almost blurted out: "Yes!"
However, when the word came to his lips, he swallowed it hard.
Because, he clearly felt that the eyes from above, through the crystal stone, seemed to be looking at him playfully, waiting for his reaction.
Du Wei composed himself and did not answer, but looked at Qiaoqiao lying there, changed the subject, and asked: "My female companion, when will she wake up?"
"Anytime." Ares replied calmly: "However, when I was treating her, I found some interesting things about her... Well, I want to ask if this female companion of yours has any
A twin sibling?”
Du Wei was stunned for a moment: "Huh? Why do you ask that? She does have a sister, but..."
Ares seemed to ponder for a moment, and did not say anything in detail, but still asked Du Wei: "Now, tell me, do you want to learn from Bi Luo Wushuang?"
Du Wei: "..."
Chishui Duan stood at the foot of the high steps. He didn't know how long it took before he finally saw Du Wei's figure, slowly walking down the steps far away.
Du Wei's arms were hugging Qiao Qiao, and it looked like the injuries on both of them had completely healed.
When Du Wei came to Chishui Duan, he seemed to be smiling a little weirdly: "Senior brother, things here are over, we can leave."
Chishui Duan frowned: "You... went up to see that demon?"
Du Wei thought for a moment and shook his head: "Well, you can say you have seen it, you can also say you haven't."
His answer left Chishui Duan a little confused.
However, Du Wei was obviously unwilling to say anything more, so the two of them returned along the original path and arrived at the square outside the Demon Temple.
Du Wei took out the "Crescent Moon Five Light Armor" and his "Ji Du Luo Throat Instant Prison Arrow" given to him by Ares. According to Ares, with these two artifacts, he can pass through that place.
pool on the altar and leave the place.
"Two artifacts can only take two people out at a time. I will take Qiao Qiao out first and then come in to pick you up." After Du Wei finished speaking, he was about to leave with Qiao Qiao in his arms.
Du Wei turned around and looked at Chishui Duan, but he saw a strange look of absolute absoluteness on the face of this peerless strong man!
"You... don't have to come back to pick me up." Chishui Duan's words made Du Wei stunned.
After a while, he frowned and said, "What did you say?"
"I want to stay here." Chishui Duan said calmly.
Du Wei couldn't help but ask "why", but the next moment, when he carefully looked at the expression on Chishui Duan's face and the absolute look in his eyes. As if in an instant, Du Wei completely understood this
The inner thoughts of a proud martial artist!
Chishui Duan said slowly: "My biggest wish in life. Now I understand it. I have also seen the things hidden in the snowy mountains... If I have any unfulfilled wish... then it is Bai Hechou outside.
.Since I was ten years old, I have hoped that I can beat him. But today, I have worked very hard, but the gap between him and me is getting farther and farther..."
When he said this, Chishui Duandi's voice was a little low, but then there was a glimmer of hope in his tone again: "But here, I seem to see a glimmer of hope! I know that if I practice normally, I
There is no hope of surpassing him in this life. After all, now he has reached the level of the realm. But here... I just heard the guardian who fought you say that you can have almost infinite life here, that is
He said, I can have unlimited time to practice here! And I’m not afraid even if I die! So... is there any better place to practice in the world than here?"
Du Wei opened his mouth: "But...if you stay, you may never be able to get out."
"I don't care!" Chishui Duan's voice was extremely firm!
"I have nothing else to ask for in my life! I have already tasted the wealth, power and glory in life. To be honest, if I had not come here and encountered these things, I would have decided to die on the snowy mountains. And the snowy mountains outside
Compared to the boring life, staying here doesn’t make much difference.”
Du Wei was speechless.
However, he has already deeply felt Chishui Duan's firm determination.
Perhaps. From a certain perspective, each of the three disciples of the previous Witch King Gu Lanxiu is an unparalleled genius! Even Chishui Duan, although he is not as amazing and talented as Bai Hechou, but with this perseverance and cruelty,
He doesn't live up to the title of "martial arts idiot".
"In this case... I won't advise you anymore." Du Wei sighed: "In this case, I will bring the artifact to see you in a while. If you want to go out, I will take you out... But
, I’m so old.”
Du Wei suddenly felt a rare closeness to this ruthless man. After all, we had been getting along with each other for so many days. After throwing away the burden, the Chishui Duan who shouted "From now on I will only live for myself",
That "Northwestern Army Commander Lu Gao" was actually dead long ago.
The one left now is Chishui Dan, the martial arts idiot who studied in Daxue Mountain.
"Old Duan." Du Wei sighed: "You just have to be careful and don't get killed by the two guardians here. Because once you die here once, you will never be able to get out."
"Is there any difference between dying of old age in the snowy mountains and dying of old age here?" Chishui Duan smiled faintly.
Although the smile was calm, Du Wei couldn't help but be moved by the perseverance in it.
Without saying anything else, Du Wei took a deep look at Chishui Duan for the last time, and then slowly walked onto the altar with Qiao Qiao in his arms. When he stepped onto the pool in the center of the altar, he felt the power of the artifact in his hand.
Above, a ball of light shone on the whole body, and the body slowly sank into the water...
"Du Wei..." Chishui Duan's last voice came from behind.
"Um?"
"You..." Chishui Duan's face seemed to move, and finally he said softly: "That guy Sebastian... please take care of me! After all, he is just a mistake I made.
That tragic fate should not be borne by him."
Sure enough... at this last moment, the cruel Chishui Duan could not help but reveal the last trace of tenderness in his heart.
Seeing Du Wei's body submerged into the pool, Chishui Duan took a deep breath, then clenched his fists and strode towards the Demon Temple.
Soon, he crossed the Demon Temple and came to the steps of the Tower of Babel. Standing under the thousand-story steps, he looked at the Tower of Babel in the distance. Chishui Duan took a deep breath and exhausted all his strength.
He shouted loudly: "The gods in the tower! My name is Chishui Duan! I am willing to stay here, I just hope to learn more powerful power here! Climb to the peak of power!!"
After the first sentence, there was no response from above.
However, Chishui Duan was not discouraged. When the same words were shouted out for the third time, Ares's voice finally came faintly from the Tower of Babel:
"Human, do you know that by staying here, you are giving up something?"
"I know. But I won't regret it!" Chishui Duan gritted his teeth and said, "I won't regret it for a hundred years! I won't regret it for a thousand years! I won't regret it for ten thousand years!"
After a long time, the voice from above came faintly.
"Come up here."
Chishui Duan's eyes were filled with excitement, and then, with heavy and firm steps, he stepped up the steps...
"Are you going to try again?"
Bai Hechou sat cross-legged in front of the ice wall, with one hand on his knees and the other raised flat.
In front of him, the Elf King's forehead was covered with sweat. After hearing this, he just nodded. He gritted his teeth hard, and then let out a breath, and a purple light appeared on his palm. The light was very bright.
It seems to be spreading rapidly.
At this moment, it seemed as if the time around him suddenly slowed down. The Elf King concentrated on carefully controlling the purple light around him, and moved towards Bai Hechou bit by bit.
Both of them seemed to be bathed in purple light.
Bai Hechou sighed softly, raised his finger, and tapped it lightly in one direction as if casually.
The Elf King's expression immediately changed and he took three steps back.
In the originally small cave, he had retreated to the wall, with his back leaning against the mountain wall. However, he was waving his hands, as if he was trying his best to maintain the purple light.
Under his efforts to control, the purple light seemed to be injected with a life force, suddenly becoming more energetic.
"Yeah." Bai Hechou seemed to snort softly, nodded, and with a slight stroke of his finger, a tiny crack spread from under his fingertips.
The Elf King finally sighed and saw that the purple light was easily split into two, and then dissipated invisible.
"This is the seventeenth time." Bai Hechou smiled softly: "Elf, do you want to continue trying for the eighteenth time?"
Luoxue seemed to be stunned, and suddenly turned her head to look outside the cave, and then looked at an hourglass placed in the corner of the cave...it was already empty.
"The time has come." Luoxue sighed helplessly, and said quietly: "Has it been three days already... These three days have passed so quickly."
It turned out that after going up the mountain again, Luoxue and Vivian came to Bai Hechou's cave, but once again asked Bai Hechou to spar.
In terms of strength, Luoxue is really the strongest person in this world whose strength is closest to Bai Hechou.
In the past three days, the Elf King has fought against Bai Hechou seventeen times, but every time it ended in disastrous defeat. However, the Elf King was not just stalking Bai Hechou needlessly, but he was carefully observing Bai Hechou.
Every rule this peerless strongman follows when using his power!
Bai Hechou's domain expanded. In the opponent's domain, Luoxue was almost powerless to fight back. However, he seemed to have found a breakthrough point.
Just this last time, he tried to expand his elf magic crazily, while compressing it in the small area where the two of them were. Trying to find the kind of person who uses his own mental power to lay out a "field"
Feel.
However, it still failed.
"You already have very rare wisdom." Bai Hechou sighed: "In the past three days, your strength has improved. But what I want to tell you is that the field is not so easy to understand."
"Then how can we do it?" The Elf King asked immediately.
"Broken!" Bai Hechou smiled softly: "You and I are both people in the painting. If you want to step out of the painting and redraw a painting of your own, first of all, you have to break through the painting that is currently binding you.
!You should first achieve the 'broken painting' before talking about anything else!"
Broken painting...
The Elf King pondered for a moment, then raised his head and said solemnly: "Mr. Bai Hechou, thank you for your advice!"
After he finished speaking, he bowed deeply to Bai Heshou who was sitting there, then turned around and strode out of the cave.
"You don't need to try anymore?" Bai He's melancholy voice came.
"No need! Next time you and I take action, it will be when I find a breakthrough!" The Elf King replied loudly without looking back. His figure had floated outside the cave, and distant voices continued to come: "Help me
Tell Du Wei that the one month I mentioned has arrived, I won’t wait for him to come out and will leave first!”
In the corner, Vivian also stayed here for nearly three days. She watched the two extremely powerful men fighting again and again. At the end, watching the Elf King float away, she couldn't help but say: "
Bai, Mr. Bai Hechou. You, why...why do you..."
Bai Hechou looked at Vivian and smiled slightly: "It's hard to find a confidant, but it's even harder to find a good opponent. It's a pity that you are not in my position, so you can't see it."
Vivian seemed to understand, but nodded, but couldn't help but look inside the ice wall: "Yeah. But Du Wei...he, why doesn't he come out? And my sister..."
Bai Heshou said calmly: "I don't know. But that guy Du Wei shouldn't die so easily."
Sure enough, as soon as he finished speaking, Du Wei's lazy voice was heard coming from the ice wall:
"Hahahaha! It's such an honor to be taken as a confidant by the Witch King of the Snowy Mountains!"
With that said, Du Wei walked out easily from within the ice wall. There was a person in his arms, it was Qiao Qiao.
Bai Hechou heard Du Wei's voice. He raised his eyebrows and said calmly: "Little Du Wei, how do you know that the 'confidant' I mentioned is you?"
Du Wei had a smile on his face: "Old Bai, my ability as an opponent is not as strong as that dead demon, so he can barely be your opponent. As for me, it's more comfortable to be your friend and confidant.
Some. Besides, don’t you want to admit that when you say ‘a close friend is rare’, don’t you mean me?”
Bai He glanced at Du Wei intently, and finally, a smile appeared on the face of this cold and strong man.
"Yes, you are indeed."
Du Wei laughed and strode to Vivian in the corner. There seemed to be a hint of surprise in his expression, but then he smiled and said: "My little silly girl, why did you come here? Ah, I understand.
, you are here to find your husband, right?"
Vivian's face immediately turned red, but her eyes were still looking deeply at Du Wei. She blushed but was speechless.
Du Wei gently put down Qiaoqiao, and then held Vivian over with one hand. On his expression, the laughter gradually faded, and then he looked at Qiaoqiao in his arms on the left, and then at the arms on his right.
Du Wei shook his head, but suddenly lowered his voice to Vivian and said something in a very serious tone:
Du Wei sighed, a trace of guilt flashed in his heart, but he still said slowly and solemnly: "I... I owe a very heavy debt this time, so I have to repay it. So... I always feel that this
Things are a little unfair to you, so...I'm sorry!"
Vivian still didn't seem to understand what it meant. Only when she saw Du Wei's other arm hugging Qiao Qiao did she react suddenly. She exclaimed: "Ah! Sister, sister, what's wrong with her? She...
"
"She fainted and will wake up soon." Du Wei smiled bitterly.
Du Wei told Bai Hechou everything about what was hidden in the seal, and he did not hide anything.
However, Bai Hechou didn't seem too concerned after hearing this.
Indeed, to ordinary people, the stories and legends of gods from ancient times seem to be mysterious legends.
However, for Bai Hechou, for this guy who has already stepped into the divine level, the so-called gods are just ancient people who are more powerful than himself. He doesn't care!
Therefore, whether it was the Demon Temple or Ares, Bai Hechou didn't say much after hearing this.
However, after talking about it, Chishui Duan took the initiative to stay inside and did not come out. Bai Hechou was silent for a while.
It was obvious that Bai Hechou's expression looked much more serious at this moment.
After a long time, he suddenly smiled!
It can be seen that this cold man's expression at this moment is a genuine smile!
"Very good! As expected, this guy is Chishui Duan." Although Bai Hechou's voice was cold, Du Wei captured the strange emotion contained in it: "I'm really looking forward to what he can get in it.
Ground breakthrough!!"
The three of them then walked out of the cave and came to the square outside.
Du Wei saw Elu from a distance. This former female assassin had been standing on the square for three days and three nights! Even though she had studied in the Snowy Mountains since she was a child and had undergone harsh training, in such a snowy mountain
She stood at the top for three days. Looking from a distance, her hair was already stained with a layer of white frost, her face was green and white, and her body was crumbling.
Du Wei sighed, looked at Bai Hechou, hesitated for a moment, and then said: "Old Bai, this apprentice of yours has helped me a lot. So...can I ask for a favor?"
Bai Hechou said coldly: "Du Wei, do you also want to take care of matters in the Snowy Mountains?"
Du Wei blinked. Then he saw Vivian next to him with a pleading look on his face. Du Wei sighed: "Anyway, she brought Vivian here. Otherwise, she would have been hiding in Loulan City."
, I won’t suffer this kind of sin. And...after all, I can be regarded as the last disciple of Teacher Gu Lanxiu, this..."
Bai Hechou smiled coldly: "Du Wei, she is my disciple, but she carried me down the mountain and betrayed the Snow Mountain. Do you know the rules of the Snow Mountain and how traitors are punished?"
Du Wei was not afraid, and immediately said: "Huh, when it comes to violating the rules of the Snow Mountain, you are the biggest example, Lao Bai! Don't forget how you got the throne of the Witch King. From the Snow Mountain
In the rules, it doesn’t say that the Witch King’s position can be used to grab land, right?”
Bai Hechou's expression darkened. He glanced at Du Wei and was about to speak. At this moment, Ai Lu suddenly fell to his knees with a thud.
She was already frozen all over, but now she opened her mouth, but couldn't shout out a word. Seeing her like this, Bai He raised his eyebrows sadly, but finally raised his hand, and a faint red light shot through.
Immediately, Ailu felt a warm current rushing through her whole body, and her body immediately felt a little warm. She kowtowed hard on the ground several times, with trembling and pleading in her voice: "Disciple knows that his sin is serious, don't you?"
I dare to beg the teacher for forgiveness, but I only ask the teacher to let the disciple die on the snowy mountain, so that the disciple can keep his identity as a disciple of the snowy mountain!"
Bai Hechou snorted: "Elu, don't you want to go back to the Roland Empire with this guy?"
Ai Lu trembled, raised her head, and looked at Du Wei, her eyes a little confused. But when she saw Vivian next to Du Wei and Qiao Qiao in Du Wei's arms, the girl's expression
A trace of absolute determination flashed through him, and he gritted his teeth and said: "No! I am willing to stay in the mountain and bear the teacher's punishment... I just ask the teacher not to drive me out of the mountain! The disciple is born as a person in the snow-capped mountains, and dies as a ghost of the snow-capped mountains!"
Although Bai Hechou's expression was still cold, his eyes seemed to be calmer. He stared at Ai Lu for a long time, and then slowly said: "As of today, I have only accepted you as a disciple. I don't have any on weekdays either.
Time will teach you nothing. It was my fault as a teacher...that's all, since you said so. I will leave you in the snowy mountains, but...you made a mistake, and punishment is indispensable!"
After a pause, his voice became stern: "Ellu, get out of here and get out of here! I will punish you by facing the wall for a hundred days. Within a hundred days, you will stab the icicles one hundred and eight thousand times!"
If you miss it once, you can jump off the cliff yourself!"
After speaking, he waved his sleeves.
Ai Lu's body trembled, but her expression was full of gratitude. She immediately stood up reluctantly, turned around and walked down the mountain. After walking a few steps, when she passed Du Wei's side, she suddenly paused and couldn't help but look.
He glanced at Du Wei and whispered in a low voice: "Take care."
Then, she quickly staggered down the steps.
Seeing Ai Lu leaving like this, Du Wei felt somewhat unhappy. He sighed, looked at the majestic Bai Hechou, and said with a wry smile: "Okay. Things are almost over. It seems it's time for me to say goodbye.
It’s time…”
Bai Hechou said coldly: "I won't send it away!"
Du Wei laughed, but didn't care about Bai Hechou's indifference at all: "Old Bai! Why are we brothers now? I'm about to leave. Don't you have anything to say to me?"
Bai He's expression darkened, and he was about to frown, but finally glanced at Du Wei. Although he tried his best to hide it, there was still a hint of warmth in his eyes.
However, this peerless strongman seemed unwilling to reveal his true feelings, and still shouted in a cold voice: "Du Wei, if you want to leave, get out of here! But..." He finally changed the subject, although
The tone was still cold, but the meaning behind the words was different.
"But... since you are also my junior brother now, you can't lose the dignity of us Daxueshan people outside! If you encounter some strong man who can't be matched... then just get back and hide in
Come and take refuge in the mountains!”
Du Wei naturally heard the concern in Bai Hechou's tone. But he still smiled and said: "Brother, if I am in danger, don't you come down from the mountain to save me?"
Bai He's expression darkened, "I don't care if you die!"
After finishing speaking, he sighed quietly: "You also know my situation. Going down the mountain is impossible."
Du Wei's expression changed, but he took two steps back, and then he rummaged seriously from his arms for a while, took out two things, and gently placed them on the ground in front of Bai Hechou.
"Old Bai, when I came up the mountain this time, to be honest, from the beginning, I really wanted you to help me drive away the dead demon. But before I could say anything, you helped me solve it first. I
This person also doesn’t like to owe others favors, so these two things are considered as rewards from me!”
After finishing speaking, Du Wei pointed to two things on the ground: "There are a few drops in the bottle on the left. It is a magical spring water called the 'Fountain of Youth'. After drinking it, the body's shape can be changed forever."
Solidification! Maybe it can relieve you from the earthly aging curse. No, this is the only way for me to become a junior brother. Although I also brought the magic beast you wanted this time, that thing has some other uses for me, and I also
I don’t have time to stay here, waiting for you to slowly figure out how to strip off the soul contract. So, this fountain of youth can probably relieve your current predicament... How about it? Lao Bai, this reward is generous enough, right?"
No matter how indifferent Bai Hechou was, he couldn't help but be moved. Two rays of light shot out from his eyes, staring at the crystal bottle on the ground: "Solidized form?!"
"That's right. This thing was used by Aragorn back then." Du Wei sighed: "If this thing is not of use to you, then in a few days, you can send someone to Loulan City to tell me, and I will find time again.
Come up the mountain and bring you that magical beast."
Bai Hechou's voice was a little excited. Although it was suppressed, it still came out: "Du Wei, aren't you afraid that I won't be bound by the curse and will be able to go down the mountain freely... to fight against you?"
Du Wei laughed, pointed at Bai He and said with a sad smile: "Forget it! Old Bai! You are already going to be a god, why do you care about such worldly things! If you really care about worldly things
If you're interested, when I came up the mountain a few days ago, there were so many people sent by the tribe waiting at the foot of the mountain, didn't you even look at them?"
Bai Hechou took a deep breath, and when he looked at Du Wei again, his eyes were different.
Finally, he looked at the other thing wrapped in white cloth: "What is this?"
"Is this... you'll know after you open it and look at it."
After saying that, Du Wei hugged Qiao Qiao tighter and put his hand on his shoulders. He held Vivian's little hand with his other hand and laughed loudly: "Goodbye!"
Then he pulled Vivian and Qiaoqiao on his shoulders, and strode down the mountain towards the steps.
Bai Hechou stood there, watching Du Wei go away quietly.
After a long time, he bent down and picked up something on the ground.
What was strange was that the first thing he reached out to pick up was not the bottle of "Fountain of Youth" that was said to be able to relieve his curse, but something else wrapped in white cloth.
Opening it gently, Bai Hechou was stunned when he saw what was inside.
Just because, what is in this cloth bag is not something strange and amazing, but... just a piece of cooked barbecue!
Vaguely, Bai Hechou seemed to recall that on the way he "kidnapped" Du Wei, the two of them slept in the wild, and Du Wei roasted meat for him in front of the fire. He thought that as a majestic witch king, he was on the snowy mountain.
Living in the open air, I have never tasted even a bite of delicious hot food in my life.
And that time, I even made a joke that because the barbecue was too hot, I used frost fighting energy to cool it down, causing the barbecue to explode.
Holding the barbecue in his hand, he suddenly heard Du Wei's voice coming from far down the mountain.
"Remember to heat it up before eating it!"
Hearing this voice, Bai Hechou's frozen face couldn't help but reveal a trace of upward smile lines at the corners of his mouth...
