fairy wife

Those coherent shadow marks form a semicircular arc, and when the sun shifts again, no sunlight can penetrate these two windows.

Qiuqiu stepped on the mark of the first shadow.

Huo'er watched helplessly, there was obviously nothing under Qiuqiu's feet, but when she lifted her feet up and down again, it seemed as if she had stepped on a high protruding step, and she had climbed an inch higher.

Qiuqiu herself took a deep breath, and then took another step.

This step is a little higher than before.

She stepped on a ladder that was invisible to others, and walked to the high place step by step.

And Huo'er imitated her example and jumped forward, but it made no effort to escape, and managed to avoid falling to the ground.

The little guy didn't believe in evil, so he got up and pounced again, but it still came to nothing.

It seems that only Qiuqiu can step on this stone step, and no one else can touch it.

Huo'er ground its small fangs, looking a bit unconvinced.

It took off for the third time—and pounced again!

Oh yeah!This time it didn't pounce on the steps, but on Qiuqiu's feet.

This time it didn't fall any more.

As soon as Huo'er grabbed Qiuqiu's skirt, she immediately rolled her tail back around Qiuqiu's ankle, fearing that she would be thrown off again.

Qiuqiu looked down at it.

Is this brown candy-like guy really the majestic red dragon hovering in the air just now?

I really can't tell that its majesty has gone there now, it seems that this dignity and arrogance are constantly changing with its body shape.When getting bigger.That was really majestic.As soon as she gets smaller, she immediately loses her pride, rolling around, pretending to be innocent, and doing whatever tricks she can.

Qiuqiu stepped on the invisible stairs, and when she reached the end, she had reached the second floor of the tower.

The second layer is completely different from the first layer.

Compared to the simplicity and emptiness of the first floor, the second floor is almost like a large utility room, with all kinds of sundries piled up to the brim and unorganized, with no path left.

Qiuqiu suddenly remembered the Response Room of the Magic School in the book—in fact, the essence of that room was a big garbage dump, where all kinds of junk things that were not needed were thrown away.

This is not the seventh peak.Uh... a garbage dump, right?

To be honest, Qiuqiu had never thought about where the garbage they produced was thrown away. Feng Jiu didn't have anyone who was responsible for cleaning and recycling garbage.It’s hard to say that these things are really garbage and sundries that everyone throws away.

But in front of such a mess, who knows how to find the way to the third floor?Also, is this tower really a place for important things?Is it true that after it was built, it was used to hold sundries because it didn’t have much use?

Qiuqiu comforted herself, maybe only this floor is like this, and the next few floors are not.Otherwise, she would work hard to decipher and climb the tower.In the end, she found that there was nothing but garbage here, so she would really vomit blood.

Is her time precious now?The books in the pavilions of Shang Zhen and Guo Cisheng were almost filled with books, they were piled so full like money.Who said it was hard to find classics on cultivating immortals?Now Qiuqiu really wished that the two of them left only one letter, and in the letter there were only a few points that Qiuqiu wanted to know.She can smoothly complete the task of returning, and then go back to the Central Plains to find Shi'er.

What is Shi'er doing now?

Certainly not as at ease as she is here.

Thinking of Shi'er, Qiuqiu became motivated.

She struggled to find a gap in the pile of debris.Then move forward step by step.

As you move, you have to pay attention to whether there is something different and important among these things.What if the clue to the upper floor of the tower is hidden in this pile of garbage?

Qiuqiu's face looked expressionless, but her heart was already filled with guilt.

When Huo'er saw this pile of things, his reaction was completely different from Qiuqiu's!

Qiuqiu watched Huo'er jump off her instep with joy.Almost jubilantly rushed towards the overwhelming sundries.That posture is like a bee meeting sugar and a hungry wolf meeting meat!

Qiuqiu saw Huo'er's claws waving casually, and the sundries seemed to be picked up by invisible hands and thrown to both sides.

No no, not everything was thrown out, and some of them disappeared the moment Huo'er's paw touched it.

Qiuqiu instantly understood how this product was collected.

But look at Huo'er's small appearance, where does it hide everything?

Could it be that it has a universe bag that others cannot see?

Or is it like the kind of portable space written in novels?

This guy must have put away all the things he liked and threw out all the things he didn't like.

Whether this habit is good or not... Qiuqiu doesn't want to comment for now.

But with Huo'er's actions like this, he blatantly opened a way for her.

The corner of Qiuqiu's mouth twitched and continued walking.

The things in the tower cleared the fire almost.

The ones thrown away must be the rags that Huo'er, a little pervert who collects, looks down upon.If it is put away, he can see it.

Then what?Qiuqiu still couldn't tell where the clue was.

The first layer is the easiest, and the clues are the best to find.

The second layer came in the opposite direction.But the difficulty should not be much higher than the first level.What if there are still five floors behind?

The ground was exposed where the fire had emptied it.

Qiuqiu looked up and looked around. There was nothing unusual on the ground.

She looked up at the ceiling again—it was nothing special.

So the clues won't be on the wall, will they?Or, is there something out of the ordinary in this clutter?

Qiuqiu rubbed her forehead.

Alas, seniors, why do you want to give something to the younger generation, why can't you simply put it on the table and leave it to her?Wouldn't it be impossible to show that you have a high level if you don't do this?If it's somewhere else, we won't talk about it.But this seventh peak, except for the peak owner, no one can come, even if you throw things on the ground, no one can pick them up.He also set up such a heavy puzzle after another to test her.Of course, this may be to test her for exercise.Improve her state of mind, but how precious is her time now?How can I waste so much time solving puzzles here?

Delay for a moment, maybe the delay is human life.

Qiuqiu thought, if she were someone else's senior, she would not have to go through so many twists and turns, and just make a list, so that future generations can see what skills and treasures at a glance.

This is called caring for the sect and benefiting the younger generations.

Those senior palm masters like her are all full and have nothing to do!

Time lapse of Seventh Peak.Is it the same as the outside?

Qiuqiu thought about it in confusion, and then made a decision.

If she couldn't find the ladder to the second floor within a stick of incense, she turned around and left.

Oh no.

Qiuqiu found a little line on the ceiling, which was very shallow and could not be seen without careful attention.The ceiling is that bluestone gray.And the color of the lines above is slightly darker, so it is easy to ignore if you don't look carefully.

Well, the seniors still gave guidance.The first layer is the light and shadow on the ground, and the second layer becomes the pattern on the ceiling.

There are puzzles, but not too difficult.

Huo'er followed Qiuqiu to look up.

"This is a bit like the one I saw in the trial cave..." She said halfway, then remembered that there was no one around her.Shi'er is not by her side, only Huo'er is beside her.

The Nine Palaces Diagram they experienced when they were in the trial cave.Should be about the same as this.

First of all, we have to find the pattern in the pattern.

In the fine and messy lines, she saw patterns like flowing water, as well as lotus leaves and lotus flowers——

Huo'er also opened his eyes wide to look at it, but the pattern seemed complicated and clueless to him, his eyes turned into mosquito-repellent coil eyes, and his body swayed.With a slap, she fell to Qiuqiu's feet.

"Well, it should be a picture of a lotus flower?"

Qiuqiu was completely immersed in a state of devotion.Fingers trace lightly in the air.

It seems that something is missing.

There are lotus leaves, lotus flowers, and water waves in the whole picture, so what is missing?

The lines of this picture have gradually been pieced together in her mind.

Slim lotus leaves, blooming lotus flowers, and a pool of blue waves...

At first, there were only lines, and then it was like overturning a plate containing colored ink, and all the colors of red, green, blue, and yellow were dyed.

Something faintly appeared in the water waves.

The slight dimples, the light golden light...

The humming sound of the fire at his feet seemed to be aggrieved.

This picture is really hard to live with.

Qiuqiu looked down at it.

That golden glint was supposed to be... scales.

There are fish in the water.

As soon as she thought of this, the calmness of the water surface in the painting was suddenly broken, a golden koi jumped up lively, and the water droplets from the tail splashed all over the air, splashing on the top of the lotus leaf, Crystal clear pearl-like drops of water rolled on the lotus leaves.

The whole painting becomes vivid and complete in an instant.

The koi stayed in the air for a while before falling back to the surface of the water.

Qiuqiu closed her eyes for a moment and then opened them again, and the stairs to the third floor appeared at her feet.

The dizzy Huo'er never forgot to keep up with Qiuqiu.

It didn't feel like that picture at first, but the more you look at it, the more strange it becomes.It turned out that it seemed to be outside a large mess of threads, and there was no thread end at all.When it was serious and felt that it had finally found a clue, those messy threads tangled towards it, entangled it so dizzily that it couldn't stand still and fell down.

Qiuqiu's feeling is completely different from that of Huo'er.Just like a jigsaw puzzle, the hardest part is finding the two connected pieces at the beginning.But Qiuqiu is very experienced with jigsaw puzzles.She first finds the parts that belong to the edge, and then gradually sorts out the middle.

You must know that she was a jigsaw puzzle lover in her previous life. She couldn't handle all kinds of jigsaw puzzles, big or small.

Puzzles of this level are completely trivial to her, and there is no difficulty.

Taking a deep breath, Qiuqiu stepped up to the third floor. (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendations and monthly tickets. Your support is my biggest motivation.)

Thank you for your encouragement and comfort, and for giving me the courage to face the cruel reality.
