......

His feet seemed to be as heavy as lead, and the jade steps under his feet seemed to have a strong suction, making it difficult for them to climb up.

"I'm a little underestimated of this ladder. Xiao Che muttered, and immediately his fists clenched together, and the thick aura suddenly poured out from his body, all poured into his feet, making it less stressed.

Xiao Hong's face was already dripping with fragrant sweat, and he said with a wry smile: "It's only been a few short steps, and there's still a long way to go." ”

Walking out of hundreds of ladders with such difficulty, the two of them were already sweating at the moment.

Xiao Che suddenly stopped, he slowly raised his head, his sharp sword-like gaze seemed to want to penetrate the misty white mist in front of him and look at the top of the cloud ladder.

There, it was the goal of their pilgrimage.

Pilgrimage!

Is it just to comprehend the Sword Emperor's broken sword?

If so, what is the point of pilgrimage?

"What's wrong with you?" Xiao Hong gasped.

"I always felt that this was not the intention of the study. Xiao Che's voice became very coarse, and he said, "This kind of pilgrimage doesn't have the slightest meaning, does it?"

Taking a breath, he continued: "Although it is a pilgrimage, it is just that everyone only thinks about the broken sword of the Sword Emperor.

"I think the original intention of the study is that the pilgrims who come here to preach and really have a pilgrimage heart, and only then may they gain something from the broken sword of the Sword Emperor. And compared to the time of enlightenment, efficiency can make up for it. ”

His eyes suddenly flashed, and he said in a deep voice: "Let's climb the ladder slowly, don't rush to the top." ”

Xiao Hong nodded: "Okay." ”

Immediately the two of them slowed down, slowly ascending from the ladder, as the pace slowed down, they actually felt that the pressure on their backs was getting smaller and smaller, and their feet were much lighter, as if the pressure from the top of the ladder was gradually disappearing, it stands to reason that even if their pace was slow, they were still getting closer and closer to the top of the mountain, and the pressure did not increase but decreased, which is enough to show that the importance of the pilgrimage heart.

People are impetuous, too eager for quick success.

This was the first lesson that Nanxi Study taught them.

......

It was noon when I entered the mountain.

And at this moment, the sky is full of stars.

Many people have climbed to the top of the ladder, and Xiao Che is too late.

On the stone platform in front of the main hall.

The broken bamboo pole of the Sword Emperor is now being split into two deep into the shimmering gold, only the hilt and half of the sword body are exposed, and the dragon-shaped patterns depicted on it shine like a golden crow, which makes people feel a little dazzling.

This is the Sword Emperor's broken sword.

Xiao Che and the others sat quietly on the seat and meditated on the broken sword, their eyes flashed, and suddenly their clear eyes seemed to be much deeper, and the dragon depicted on the broken sword in front of them also seemed to have life in front of them.

"Ahh

I saw the man collapse with a pale face like paper, perhaps because his face was too pale, so that the blood stains hanging on the corners of his mouth became extremely dazzling, which made most of the people around him feel terrified.

It takes a lot of divine thoughts to comprehend the broken sword, many people are unwilling to give up without gaining, and some people are almost crazy in the face of such opportunities, so it is normal for accidents to occur.

Gradually, more and more people began to give up.

Xiao Che didn't pay attention to this, he saw the huge mouth of the golden dragon carved on the broken sword in front of him snorting slightly, as if he was telling him something, but Xiao Che didn't understand the dragon language, so naturally he didn't know what it was saying, but vaguely wanted to teach him something.

Not only did he see this fluttering dragon, but Xiao Hong also saw it.

However, they didn't know what this dragon meant, Xiao Che couldn't figure it out, and this ethereal understanding made him not know what to catch.

But after climbing the ladder along the way, he felt more and more that the meaning of pilgrimage is profound, and people should get rid of the impetuosity in their hearts.

Just as eating is eating, sleeping is sleeping.

It's a simple and ordinary sentence, but what can really be done...... It's either holy, it's God.

Xiao Che blinked his somewhat dry eyes, looked around, and suddenly collided with Xiao Hong's gaze, and then asked, "Have you figured it out?"

"Nope. Xiao Hong smiled bitterly.

"Me too. Xiao Che shrugged.

With that, he suddenly stood up and walked towards the ladder.

"What are you going to do?" Xiao Hong said busily.

"If I can't figure it out, I don't want to, I'll go and walk the ladder. ”

"I'll be with you. ”

Immediately afterwards, under the burning gaze of everyone, Xiao Che and Xiao Hong walked down the ladder.

In short, there is still some time, since you can't figure it out, why force yourself to think about it, bury this question in your heart, it is best to think of nature, and it doesn't matter if you can't think of it.

Stroll up the ladders......

The shadow of the 'broken sword' that had never been understood in front of the brain gradually dissipated.

In a short time, the two of them walked down the 97,000-step ladder.

Xiao Che said: "Have you figured it out?"

Xiao Hong shook her head: "No, what about you?"

"Same. ”

As he spoke, Xiao Che stepped out again, and with a pilgrimage in his heart, he climbed the ladder again.

Xiao Hongwan followed up.

I don't know why, after walking the ladder again, her heart turned out to be a lot calmer, and she didn't know if it was the reason for the leisurely stroll, or the reason why Xiao Che was by her side, she actually felt that everything was so peaceful, as if she was not here to take the study to understand the broken sword, but just to make a pilgrimage.

Similarly, Xiao Che also felt this way, the cloud ladder under his feet seemed to have a purifying effect, and the longer he walked on it, the more pure and peaceful his heart became.

Everything can only be done in meditation.

......

Soon, they were back at the top of the ladder.

The two looked at each other and smiled, their hearts like mirrors.

After walking the ladder again, they seemed to feel that everything in front of them was much more transparent, and the dragon in front of them became very real, and the dragon groan in its mouth seemed to be spiritually poured into their heads.

Is that...... True Dragon's Meaning.

Xiao Che's mind suddenly felt a burst of chaos, a blank vacuum, and he only felt that the true meaning seemed to be carved in his mind, lingering for a long time, deeply imprinted there.

Pure and obscure.

As soon as Xiao Che's palm flipped, a guqin appeared on his knees.

This is the heart-washing guqin.

Since the day Xiao Che became conscious, this guqin has always been by his side.

Ten fingers caressed, and his fingertips began to play slowly to the rhythm of the true dragon's meaning in his mind, and happy notes jumped from his fingertips.

Even though the meaning of the true dragon was deeply imprinted in his mind, when he fused into its rhythm with the sound of the piano, it seemed like a cloud falling five miles away.

Suddenly, a slightly old and hoarse voice suddenly fell into his ears: "Pilgrimage for the sake of pilgrimage!"

Xiao Che was stunned, and immediately resonated with the heart of pilgrimage, and the notes that jumped on his fingertips suddenly seemed to have life.

"Hum—"

Xiao Che's eyes opened, and he was about to speak, when he suddenly felt as if his shoulders were clamped by a pair of thick big hands, and in the next moment, he was already in another space.

In front of me was a white expanse.

Xiao Che walked through the clouds and said with a smile: "Thank you for teaching you." ”

Immediately, he bowed deeply to a cloud somewhere.

There was someone in the clouds, and the man laughed heartily: "Haha...... I didn't expect you kid to be quite smart. ”

Xiao Che smiled: "It's okay, at least it's not stupid." ”

The clouds scattered in all directions, and an old man with a slightly slender figure walked slowly from among the clouds, with a handful of white flowers under his chin, which made people want to pull off a few of them.

This old man is the former dean of Nanxi Study.

Yu Kongming.

Yu Kongming smiled: "Since you are not stupid, do you know what kind of place this is?"

Xiao Che arched his hand and said politely: "Does Elder Yu really want me to say it?"

"Of course. Yu Kongming nodded.

"This is the Chrysalis Mansion, a space opened up by Yu Lao himself. Xiao Che smiled, a flash of surprise in his eyes, and said, "It's just that Elder Yu wants to put this pupa mansion in such an obvious place?"

"You see?" Yu Kongming was a little incredulous, confident that his chrysalis mansion was very secretive.

"I saw it at first sight. Xiao Che nodded.

"Where?" asked Yu Lao.
