All the way to the west, to reach a mountain, but see that the mountainside is already covered with clouds and mist, the sun turns to the top of the mountain, as if directly the sky. The cliffs on the mountain are pine, white bears are patrolling, apes are playing, and rows of white houses can be faintly seen. Further on, at the foot of the hill a long stone staircase stretches upwards, steeper and steeper, with no end in sight. There is a stone tablet standing next to it, which reads "There is a way to ascend to the sky, and looking back is empty".

Meng Qing was about to step on the first step with Qinghu on his back, only to hear a faint immortal voice coming: "Ascend to the sky by yourself!" Meng Qing hesitated, but still put Qinghu down, and the two began to climb the ladder together. At the beginning, dozens of steps were like ordinary stone stairs, Qinghu was even a little happy, jumped up and ran in front of Meng Qing. But after walking to the fifty or sixty steps, it has become very steep, and Meng Qing can still support it, but Qinghu is already tired and panting, and hurriedly said: "Mother, let's rest for a while!" shouted twice, looked back, and saw that Meng Qing could no longer be seen behind, and the road behind could not be seen. Qinghu shouted anxiously, "Mother, mother!" Still didn't respond, he wanted to cry again in a hurry, but when his mother's words sounded, he didn't let himself cry anymore, and Qinghu held back his tears. After resting for a while, taking something out of his bag and eating something, Qinghu cautiously climbed up again.

Meng Qing saw Qinghu climbing up, and after a while, he turned around and shouted something, but Meng Qing couldn't hear his voice, so he hurriedly walked up and grabbed Qinghu, but obviously he was already close, and he couldn't catch anything when he reached over. Meng Qing also shouted loudly, but when he saw Qinghu's appearance, he shouldn't be able to hear his own voice. "This ladder is so weird. Meng Qing thought secretly. Seeing Qinghu crawling up after eating, and holding back tears, Meng Qing secretly felt funny, and even more relieved. "There shouldn't be any danger, but now I can only go up and adapt to the situation. ”

Hearing the news of the accident in Qingzhuang, the owner of Dingxi Mansion, Wuwang Tiandan, hurried out of the customs. Qingli had come to see him before he disappeared, although Qingli did not say in person that he would take care of the Qing family, but with Qingli's kindness to him, this is absolutely unacceptable. But now that he is under his nose, Murong Yuan is too unrelatable.

As soon as Tian Danfu came out of the customs, he immediately ordered: "Let Gui Yafu and Tian Chu come to see me quickly!" In fact, in the past few days, Gui Yafu has not returned to the barracks, knowing that the prince will definitely go out of the customs, he has been waiting in the general's mansion in Wuzhou City, and after receiving the order, he hurried to the palace. The eldest son, Tian Qi, and the second son, Tian Chu, have also been in the house in recent days. When they received the order, Tian Qi, Tian Chu, and Shi Yuanying were discussing the matter, and when they heard the order, they rushed to the council hall together.

Seeing that Tian Qi was also coming, Tian Dan asked: "Qi'er is back, that old bastard didn't say anything, right?" Tian Qi smiled and said: "Father, the emperor asked me to say hello to you and let you take the time to go to him for a drink." "Drinking, this old bastard doesn't miss the old feelings at all, haven't you forgotten the things of the year, and killed the Qing family on Lao Tzu's territory!" Then he said angrily: "Lao Tzu doesn't see him anymore, I'm afraid I can't help but give him two punches." Next to him, Yuan Ying said: "Lord, if you beat the emperor, the queen mother will not spare you......" Tian Dan glared at him.

At this time, Gui Yafu came to the hall and hurriedly knelt down: "Lord Wang, Yafu is guilty!" Tian Dan looked at Gui Yafu, did not let him get up immediately, sighed and said: "Gui Yafu, how did I explain to you, how can you be worthy of Brother Qingli! Besides, Du Zhou crossed your defense area so easily, you didn't even know it, grandma is a bear, you can't escape the death penalty!

Tian Chu next to him hurriedly knelt down and said, "Father, this matter is to blame for my son's unknown knowledge, poor consideration, and it has nothing to do with General Gui, please punish my father!"

"Punishment, what is the use of punishment, Qinglan brothers, they have already ......" Speaking of this, Tian Dan's eyes were filled with tears. sighed leisurely: "My Tiandan is ashamed of the Qing family!"

Suddenly, he said: "Tian Chu, you are also a capital crime, something that is not a weapon, what's the use of living?"

At this time, Yuan Ying suddenly laughed and said, "Gui Yafu should have died a long time ago!" Hearing this, everyone present couldn't react for a while, is this still an assassination of Shi Yuanying.

I only heard Yuan Ying say again: "The prince is angry, Gui Yafu's brothers and sons have already sacrificed their lives for the country, and he is the only one left in the family, he should have died a long time ago, what are you doing alive." ”

Tian Qi and Tian Chu couldn't help but secretly praise it, Tian Dan also suddenly softened, and said: "Yafu, it's not all your fault for this, Brother Qingli is my friend of life and death, without him, there would be no today for my Tiandan, and there is no today for you, under Jiuquan, what face do I have to face the Qing family." Speaking of which, it was already old tears.

After being silent for a long time, Tian Dan said again: "Gui Yafu, remove you from the post of General Zuo!

Zhou Yafu said: "Thank you for the grace of Brother Xie not to kill!"

"Have you found someone who has escaped?"

Tian Chu hurriedly said: "I found it, my son has already met the Nine Elders, but the Nine Elders don't want to stay in the Northland, and they want to find a place outside the world to hide." ”

"I, the eldest brother, have no face to see Qingsong, Tian Chu, remove you from the post of Wucheng Sima, fifty canes, this time you personally lead the henchmen and masters, transfer half of the eagle group directly under me, and secretly protect Qingsong and them, if there is any pursuit and killing them, don't scruple, if there is any mistake, you don't come back!" Tian Chu said: "Please rest assured, father, this time I will take a head guarantee to protect the ninth uncle and them." "Okay, let's arrange it," after a pause, he said to Tian Qi: "Qi'er, you can also retreat!"

After Tian Qi and Tian Chu withdrew, Tian Dan said: "Yafu, you get up first, let me ask you what is abnormal after watching the scene?" Gui Yafu said: "Lord Wang, I heard from the Ninth Elder that there were no people who went out in the Qing family that day, and the whole family should be two hundred people, but when we inspected the buried corpses on the spot, plus those who escaped, there were a total of one hundred and ninety-nine people, one less."

"Oh, there is such a thing, it seems that this matter is not so simple!Yuanying, what do you think?" "Lord, the minister also thinks that there is something else hidden in this matter, there must be something we don't know, and it needs to be investigated carefully. ”

"Well, this matter will be handed over to you! Be sure to investigate this matter thoroughly, the people involved, etc., will not be forgiven! There are also Bai Ye Terror and Du Zhou who lead the team, Murong Yuan and I can't move, these two people and my Tiandan will definitely not be able to bypass them!"

Yuan Ying bowed his hand and said, "Don't worry, prince!"

Meng Qing couldn't see Qinghu at this time, but she believed that there should be no danger, and she could only believe it. She struggled to go up, hoping to arrive quickly, and then find Gu Yuefeng and give him the token. The footsteps became heavier and heavier, and by the end the legs and feet were no longer felt, and she slowly climbed up, and there was only one belief in her mind, hurry up. In the process, there were knife mountains, sea of fire, fierce beasts, and ancient corpse battlefields, she didn't care about them all, just walked forward, and finally she saw the word Tianmen, she thought it should have arrived, and then fainted.

Besides, Qinghu, he couldn't see Meng Qing, and he couldn't see the way back, so he was afraid of going up a few steps with all his strength, and he couldn't walk anymore, so he simply rested on the spot, sat on the ground, and fell asleep after a while.

I don't know how long I slept, I only heard the sound of swords and swords, and then there were bells, pianos, and the sound of young children reading, and finally I only heard a lazy voice saying: "Who wakes up first in the big dream, I know in my life!" and then saw Qinghu, this person was happy: "Oh, Amitabha Buddha, Amitayus Buddha, Guanyin Bodhisattva is merciful and compassionate, and the great old man of heaven and earth is the greatest, hahahaha!"

Qinghu was awakened by the sound, and saw an old man in front of him who was sloppyly dressed, dirty, and very obscene. said: "Little doll, hello, Uncle will buy you candy to eat!" Qinghu rubbed his eyes and said, "Who are you, uncle, where am I?" The sloppy Taoist smiled and said: "Doll, do you know, you are really lucky, my old man has slept and woken up nine hundred and ninety-nine times, this time it is exactly a thousand times, if I haven't met the heir, then I won't be blind!"

"How long do you sleep, uncle?" "A year of sleep, counting this time, it's been a thousand years. "Then you're so old, I should call you grandpa!" "Fart, just call you uncle, do you hear!" I originally wanted you to call my brother, forget it, forget it, the sloppy Taoist thought to himself.

"Don't talk nonsense with you, apprentice, the master has little time, my surname is Zhou Mingtong, when I was young, I was nicknamed 'Little Overlord', and later after I became famous, the world called me 'Ba Zhenren'! Master I am a genius in the sky, rare for a thousand years, I want to be ten years old dragon elephant, twenty copies of me, forty gods, seventy return to the yuan, and then the law is followed, extinguished, two hundred years old has been invincible in the world, can no longer find an opponent. But unfortunately, in the end, the reincarnation could not be solved, and it could only be wiped out. As he spoke, Lao Dao had a complicated look on his face.

"Ah, master, you are so powerful!"

"Of course, but the master is not the most powerful, the master is the most powerful pickle girl, you know, I want the top ten beauty masters to occupy six of them, and the other four will be ...... if they are not married to others."

Then the old Tao sighed again, and said: "I digress again, I haven't talked to anyone for too long, apprentice, now the master will pass on the "Great Dream Heart Sutra" created in his later years to you, this exercise is the master set of the ancient masters of the long, the creation of the peerless exercise, a total of nine layers, the master only practiced to the eighth layer, to the ninth layer when he has clearly seen the realm, but has never been able to cross over, so the master will go with the flow, from then on the rivers and lakes. ”

"When the master was a thousand years old, he knew that the limit was coming, when Tianmen was first created, one of the three elders of Tianmen was the master's favorite, and the only person who was ashamed of the master's life was her, this ladder seems to have existed since ancient times, when she climbed the ladder every day to comprehend the heavenly machine, the master hid a wisp of divine consciousness in the ladder, and saw her once a day, and then the divine sense became weaker and weaker, so he could only wake up once a year to see her once. When she woke up later, she was dead!" Speaking of this, the old man was in tears, but he looked up to the sky and didn't let his tears fall, but Qinghu still saw it.

Qinghu shouted: "Master, you are crying, my mother said that men can't cry!"

"Where are the tears, the sand has entered the master's eyes!" When Lao Dao looked at Qinghu again, he had turned into a smiling face.

"Apprentice, master, I will teach you the Great Dream Heart Sutra now, and how far you can cultivate depends on your creation!"

Qinghu only felt that rays of light were coming to his brain, and bursts of pain hit him, and his head seemed to explode. Countless words flashed in his mind, "Who knows the big dream first, I know it in my life; Heaven and earth are full of horses, and the rivers and lakes are amorous ......" Qinghu fainted. Lao Dao looked at Qinghu, looked at himself again, and sighed: "The eyes are extremely sad and the heart is sad, and the soul returns to mourn Jiangnan." After speaking, it turned into a little light.
