Chapter 231 Will you carry me?
But in the same way, if you don’t go through the gate of life, going through the remaining seven gates will lead to death.
There is not even a mark on this land. It is flat everywhere, and rocks are popping up everywhere. If you try casually, you will probably die in a few seconds.
"...What should we do?" Taoist Priest Tian looked at his master. "Female Taoist Priest, you said you want to move forward. There should be a way."
"Let me take another look." The master frowned.
Xu Chuchu's memory was better than her master's. She looked at it twice and then stopped. She picked up a stone and threw it hard in one direction, as if she wanted to smash a stone pillar.
But she was weak now, and the stone fell to the ground in mid-air. Needless to say, it triggered the mechanism again. With a few puffs, the formation changed again.
Everyone booed, but the masked man picked up a stone, looked at Xu Chuchu, and gestured to ask her where to throw it.
Xu Chuchu pointed at one of them, took aim and hit it. The stone pillar that was hit quickly fell down, and several surrounding pillars also disappeared, revealing a flat ground.
"Wow, it really works!" Taoist Master Tian immediately changed his boos to exclamations.
"Little girl, you're quite capable. Even without any cultivation, you understand the formations very well!" Zui Hongyan said as she approached Xu Chuchu, "When will you teach me?"
"...Let's just forget it." Xu Chuchu didn't even have the mood to retort. She was still having a headache.
With everyone's current abilities, even if they can throw it far, the farthest it can go is no more than the second mechanism. If they want to break through the one behind it, they still have to go there personally.
There is only one way to the door of life, and if you take a wrong step, you will lose everything. There are many of them, and if they walk together, if someone is careless or makes a mistake, a group of people may lose their lives.
Xu Chuchu looked at the yellow sand piled up on the road when he came here, and suddenly he had an idea.
"Well, I'll go ahead and crack the mechanism. I'll carry a bag of sand with me, leaving a trail along the way. The people behind me will follow the sand, keeping a distance. Don't step on the wrong path. Your life is in your own hands."
Zui Wuqing nodded: "Well, this is a good idea."
"Of course it's a good idea for you, and it doesn't require you to take any risks." Jiji said anxiously, "Senior Sister, you don't have any cultivation base right now, can you do it alone? I'll accompany you."
Xu Chuchu thought for a moment and said, "Well, the mechanisms will become increasingly complex. I really need someone agile to accompany me... and preferably someone who can carry me on his back."
What she meant was that she rejected Gigi and Master, both of whom were shorter than her.
But the others were unwilling to do so. Taking the lead with Xu Chuchu meant sharing the risk with her. Wouldn't it be much better to stay behind and follow the path that had been tested by predecessors?
For a moment, the grown men were silent.
"I'll accompany you, Chuchu!" Daju transformed into a human form and shook his orange-red hair. "I'm very agile and can jump very high and far!"
"It's not just about jumping high; it's about jumping accurately and reacting quickly." Xu Chuchu said, "Let's try it first, shall we?"
"How to try?" Daju asked curiously.
Xu Chuchu asked Daju to bend down and carry her on his back: "Now walk straight ahead, keeping a distance of two feet between each step."
"Two feet? Oh oh." Daju silently gestured in his mind, walking very slowly, taking every step carefully, keeping the same distance.
After walking a few steps, Xu Chuchu said helplessly: "It's already diagonal, big orange."
Daju: “…”
Everyone: “…”
"Try jumping again." Xu Chuchu said, "Carry me on your back and jump to Master's side. The height between us should be between one and two feet."
"Okay!" Daju jumped up confidently.
Xu Chuchu: "...It's too high, Daju. My head is almost touching the clouds."
Daju: “…”
Everyone: “…”
Although Daju's cultivation level is not low, he still has too little practical experience and cannot grasp the distance well, so he cannot meet Xu Chuchu's high requirements at all.
"Let me do it." At this time, the master stepped forward. "I have some impression of this formation. Maybe I can help you."
Before Xu Chuchu could react, the masked man walked silently in front of her and bent down.
"You carry me?" Xu Chuchu was surprised.
The man nodded silently, and Xu Chuchu was certain that this person never spoke or could not speak.
"Don't be impulsive, Lao Wu!" Zui Wuqing said hurriedly, "It's very dangerous, don't worry about your life!"
"Just because he's in danger doesn't mean my senior sister isn't in danger?!" Jiji said angrily, "You people are too selfish."
"Forget it, Boss." Zui Hongyan said with a smile, "Old Five is very skilled, it would be a good idea for him to go. If something happened to someone else, all five of us brothers would starve to death here."
The masked man still maintained that strenuous posture, not moving at all, to show his determination.
Xu Chuchu also felt that this person was more suitable. When he saw him gathering the spiritual body and blowing it towards the wall of fire, he could tell that his operation was very delicate.
Being able to control spiritual power to this level, the coordination of the body must not be too bad.
Besides, if we take him along, we won’t have to worry about these five drunken brothers causing trouble.
"Okay, then let's go together." Xu Chuchu jumped onto the masked man's back.
…As soon as she went up, the familiar feeling came over her again, as if this person had once carried her for a long distance.
She wanted to pull off his hat and veil and see his face, or at least his eyes.
But I still held back.
It didn't matter if it was him or not, even if it was, she would pretend it wasn't him.
It doesn't matter.
Jiji filled a large bag of sand and tied it to Xu Chuchu's back. The masked man followed Xu Chuchu's instructions and jumped straight into the stone forest.
Because the first mechanism had just been hit with a stone, nothing was triggered.
Even so, everyone was still sweating, feeling that they would have to explain themselves next.
"Forty-five degrees to the left...that's not right." Xu Chuchu remembered that the people here had no idea what reading was, so she stretched out her arm and pointed in one direction.
"Walk in this direction, keeping each step one foot apart, for twelve steps," she instructed. "Then throw a stone at the stone pillar in the southwest corner."
As the two walked, the yellow sand in Xu Chuchu's cloth bag leaked out, alerting the people behind them.
After they walked away, the rest of the people followed one by one to prevent the wind from blowing the sand into disarray after a long time.
Xu Chuchu walked very slowly. In order to ensure accuracy and get to the destination in one go, she observed very carefully and walked about half the distance without encountering any problems.
"Be careful ahead, it's a second-stage array," she suddenly warned. "Hold a few stones in your hands, as you might have to dodge and smash the mechanisms along the way."
The masked man nodded curtly.
"Go ahead." Xu Chuchu grabbed his back tightly.
The masked man needed to let go of her hands and throw stones halfway through, and she had to hold on to the man tightly.
