There is indeed a cave in the mountain gate, the birds are singing and the flowers are fragrant, and there is a fairy realm.

However, what appeared behind the mountain gate was a ladder to the sky, with 109,000 stone steps, leading to the top of the holy mountain shrouded in fairy mist.

The old man looked at everyone and said in a deep voice: "This ladder to heaven is the instrument of my Penglai Guanzhen Sect, which has been enlightened by Dao immortals and has the ability to perceive the heart. The first level is a test of your conduct, and this level is a test of your Dao heart. Only if the Dao heart is firm enough can it pass the test of the ladder to heaven, and this level has nothing to do with the level of the realm, only the Dao heart. For one day, tomorrow at noon, I will greet you at the top of the mountain. With that, the figure floated away, and soon disappeared to the end of the ladder to heaven.

There were 1,218 people who passed the initial examination, which is a very large number.

Li Erguang was complacent: "Fortunately, this level is not a test of strength, otherwise there are so many masters, I'm afraid there will be nothing to do with the two of us." ”

Bai Dongqing shook his head with a wry smile and said, "Do you think things are really that simple? This ladder to the sky is 109,000 steps, if you don't have any strength, you will definitely not be able to reach the top of the mountain at noon tomorrow." ”

Li Erguang exclaimed when he heard this: "This bad old man is very bad. ”

The words of the two were heard by many people, which immediately caused a commotion. What Bai Dongqing said is true, these 109,000 steps, even if he is a powerhouse in the God Refining Realm, if he wants to arrive at noon tomorrow, I am afraid it will not be easy.

Realizing the difficulty of the matter, someone immediately began to take action.

Someone took the lead, and naturally the hula behind followed. Among the more than 1,000 people, most of them are in the Refining Bone Realm, and only a few are as white as snow, and Dugu Immortal Yang has reached the Refining God Realm.

Bai Dongqing looked at the ladder that went straight into the sky, swallowed a mouthful of saliva with difficulty, and said, "Let's go too." ”

The two walked side by side and stepped on the ladder to heaven together.

The ladder to heaven is worthy of being the treasure of Penglai Guanzhenzong, and the handwriting is so big that it is staggering. The width of the ladder alone is hundreds of zhang, so more than 1,000 people climb the mountain at the same time, and it is not congested, but very empty.

In order to avoid less trouble, Bai Dongqing and Li Erguang leaned to the side and climbed slowly.

I don't know how long it took, the two of them were exhausted, and many of them sat on the stone steps panting for breath. Li Erguang only felt that there was fire in his mouth, and he was tortured both physically and mentally.

"After walking for so long, why don't you see the steps decrease. "Many people have this question, it stands to reason that after walking for so long, they should see the top of the mountain, but everyone always feels like they are standing still, and the distance above their heads has never decreased.

"Not true. Bai Dongqing secretly analyzed that this ladder to heaven is strange. Li Erguang was just about to sit on the stone steps when Bai Dongqing grabbed him.

"What are you doing, let me rest. Li Erguang shouted.

Bai Dongqing's face was heavy, and he said in a deep voice: "Something is wrong, this ladder to heaven is not only a test of our Dao heart, but also a test of my will, if you choose to rest at this time, you will definitely fall short!"

"Is it so serious? You can't just keep climbing to the top of the mountain, right? You can't die of exhaustion like that?" Li Erguang was always skeptical of Bai Dongqing's analysis.

"Listen to me, keep going!" Bai Dongqing said unrefutably.

Li Erguang dragged his tired body, so he had to follow Bai Dongqing, moving with difficulty. As soon as the two of them took the first step, their vision suddenly changed. I saw that the scenery on both sides quickly retreated, and the two of them moved far away in a trance.

Li Erguang looked back and said in fright: "My mother." ”

The monks who had originally chosen to rest on the stone steps were far behind the two of them at this time, and some of them could no longer even be seen. Li Erguang felt palpitations and looked at Bai Dongqing: "Thanks to your persistence, otherwise we wouldn't know where to hang out." ”

"This ladder to heaven is nothing extraordinary, and if you want to pass the test, you must persevere with perseverance, not stagnate, and not retreat. Bai Dongqing's eyes were bright, and his heart suddenly opened up at this time.

"That's right, but this mountaineering is really tiring. Li Erguang said breathlessly.

Not only Li Erguang was like this, but Bai Dongqing also felt it. There is another mystery on this ladder to heaven, with the physical strength of the two should not be tired so quickly, Bai Dongqing analyzed it for a while and came to the conclusion that this should also be one of the tests of the ladder.

The two of them crawled for a few more moments, and a sparse array of monks began to appear in front of them.

On a relatively flat stone step, there is an old man dressed in a robe, and there are several large watermelons cut in front of him. Lao Dao shook his fan and said to the monk who was climbing the mountain: "If you are thirsty, eat a melon." ”

Looking at the bright red watermelon, many people salivate, but they are afraid of touching the rules, so they turn a blind eye to it. Seeing this, Lao Dao just smiled, and continued to the monk who came after: "If you are thirsty, eat a piece of melon." ”

Li Erguang's throat was dry and almost smoking, and when he saw the red and moist watermelon now, he felt difficult to swallow the phlegm. While Bai Dongqing was not paying attention, Li Erguang ran to the old road and asked, "How do you sell this melon?"

"This melon is only given away but not sold, if the young man is thirsty, you can taste it. ”

Li Erguang didn't care so much, he picked up the watermelon and was about to send it to his mouth, but Bai Dongqing found it in time and knocked down the watermelon in Li Erguang's hand.

The watermelon fell to the ground and instantly turned into a yellow charm.

The old man laughed and disappeared. Li Erguang looked at the monks who had eaten watermelon again, and at this time, they all seemed to be enchanted, chewing runic paper in their mouths and happily walking down the mountain.

Li Erguang breathed a sigh of relief, and was afraid in his heart.

"This ladder is weird, I didn't want to eat melons just now, but I always felt that there was a mysterious force that drove me to eat melons. ”

Bai Dongqing said: "This is caused by the lack of firmness in the Dao heart and the demons in the heart. It is estimated that there will be more difficulties waiting for us. ”

Li Erguang heard this and said, "How can Brother Bai have such a clear state of mind, and he is not affected by the demons in his heart?"

Bai Dongqing shook his head slightly, it's not that he is not affected by the demons, but he hasn't encountered it yet.

The two walked for a moment, and a familiar figure came into view in front of them. Bai Dongqing was pleasantly surprised: "White girl." ”

When the woman turned around, it was as white as snow. At this time, Bai Dongqing was a little surprised, and his lips opened slightly: "It's you, I didn't expect your Dao heart to be so firm that you could get here." ”

"It's just a fluke. ”

Bai Ruxue said again: "I guess you also know, this ladder to heaven has a demagogic effect, and the front is even more difficult, even I have the way, and I have to retreat hundreds of stone steps." The two of you can get here, it is estimated that it is the limit, you and I meet is fate, in this case, I will take you two for a ride, so as to avoid some detours. ”

Bai Dongqing was pleasantly surprised in his heart, and said, "In this way, thank you Miss Bai." ”

"You're welcome. Bai Ruxue pinned a person in one hand and quickly jumped to the stone steps in front of her. For some reason, Bai Dongqing suddenly had an ominous premonition in his heart, and a bold idea emerged in his heart.

"The white girl said at the beginning, if I can pass the Penglai Guan assessment, I will give a fragrant kiss, I don't know if I can still count?" Bai Dongqing asked a little frivolously.

Bai Ruxue's face turned red in an instant, and she said in a coquettish voice: "Naturally remember, when I take you to the front, I will naturally fulfill my promise." ”

Bai Dongqing struggled to break free from Bai Ruxue, and said coldly: "No need." ”

"Why?" Bai Ruxue looked surprised.

"Because you're not as white as snow at all!" Bai Dongqing said coldly.

"Hehe, it's really boring, you found out. Bai Ruxue knew that she was boring, and her figure changed, and she turned into a snow-white fox and ran away with her tail cocked.

"If you're thirsty, eat a piece of melon?" Just as Bai Dongqing sighed at the surprise of the white fox turning into a person, an old man in a cloth next to him spoke.

"Damn!" Bai Dongqing cursed, unexpectedly being led by a fox and walking back.

Bai Dongqing turned a blind eye to the old road of Lingyi and pulled Li Erguang to continue climbing.

Back to the place where I just met the white fox, it was completely different. Bai Dongqing breathed a sigh of relief, it is estimated that there should be no more monsters blocking the way, while it is still calm, Bai Dongqing pulled Li Erguang all the way to run wildly.

Just as the two of them were running wildly, above the stone steps, a bright red figure came into view. Bai Dongqing gasped again, this monster is really stubborn, and he wants to repeat the old trick.

The red shadow above the stone steps is also an old acquaintance with Bai Dongqing, and it is also Yin Suyuan who makes Bai Dongqing creepy. If Bai Ruxue hadn't happened to pass by, Bai Dongqing would probably have been pulled into the grave and become someone else's ghost husband.

Although he knew that Yin Suyuan in front of him was transformed by a monster, Bai Dongqing still felt that his scalp was numb.

"What's wrong with you?" Li Erguang asked, noticing something wrong.

Bai Dongqing shook his head and said, "It's nothing, don't talk later." ”

Saying that, the two stepped forward, as if sensing someone approaching behind them, Yin Suyuan slowly turned her head, and her beautiful face showed a hint of surprise.

"Husband?"

Bai Dongqing turned a deaf ear and turned a blind eye.

Li Erguang on the side was anxious, "Brother Bai, I didn't expect you to have such a beautiful wife, what a blessing." ”

Bai Dongqing greeted Li Erguang's whole family in his heart, and said fiercely: "Will you die if you don't speak?"

Li Erguang then remembered what Bai Dongqing had instructed just now, and knew that he might be in trouble, so he suddenly stopped squeaking. Yin Suyuan stopped and quietly waited for Bai Dongqing to get close before saying, "These days, it's easy for the slave family to find." ”

Bai Dongqing sneered.

"Do you think the same trick will still work?"

Yin Suyuan also sneered: "Then do you think I am the real Yin Suyuan or the fake Yin Suyuan?"

This sentence made Bai Dongqing's heart skip a beat, could it be that this Yin Suyuan in front of him was genuine? At that time, he couldn't help but take two steps back, and said in shock: "You can't be real, right?"

"If you can come as white as snow, why can't I?"
