As Taiyuan Dao and Haoyang Dao people guessed, the three thousand three hundred and thirty-three steps on the first layer of the ladder did not cause too much trouble to Li Haocheng, even if he had the power of the steps to refine his own flesh Dao fetus, but after half a day's effort, it was over.

After the refinement of the stone steps, the mana on Li Haocheng's body became more and more condensed and mellow, the thunder sound around his body was vibrating, and the vitality above his head was surging, reflecting each other with the Tai** rhyme hidden in the stone steps, turning into a subtle streamer circulating around him, and the brilliance like moonlight overflowed from his eyes that could not be suppressed.

Raising his feet and stepping up the 3,334th step, Li Haocheng, who found that his breath was not there, immediately guessed that there would be changes from here when the test began.

Standing in place, slowly adjusting his state, and at the same time, with the help of the jade talisman Qingguang and the introspective Dao body, Li Haocheng found that his two hundred and six white bones all exuded the color of crystal white jade, I am afraid that it is not much worse than those immortal realm cultivators who specialize in cultivating bone methods.

After walking more than a dozen steps, layers of fog rose around him, and he could only see less than half a meter next to him, and he couldn't see it any farther.

After walking forward for a while, Li Haocheng felt a pressure appear on him, every step he took, it took more energy, and at the same time, his five senses gradually became dull, after walking five hundred steps, he began to be unable to hear the sound, as if he was locked in an absolutely silent place.

Li Haocheng tried to make a sound, but when he spoke, he couldn't even hear himself, under this strange quiet, the more Li Haocheng walked, the more pressure on his body.

The state of mind condensed by the Taiyin Ice Heart Method began to collapse, the originally peaceful sea of consciousness began to boil, and various emotions began to emerge and ferment, consuming his mental defense.

Gradually, Li Haocheng's vision was also deprived, and the surroundings were as cold as a dark night, unable to see, hear, or speak, and even pinched the skin on his body without feeling, as if he was not in this world at all.

In this hair-raising feeling, anxiety, nervousness, anger, frustration, sadness, pain and other emotions became stronger and stronger, if it weren't for the jade talisman Qingguang constantly falling, Li Haocheng would even want to yell out loud.

No, this test is a bit strange, if ordinary people encounter this situation, they won't be crazy? Is it because of the change of people, or is it because of the jade talisman? Thinking about it, Li Haocheng began to restrain the clear light hanging down from the jade talisman, and then a breath flowed into the sea of knowledge, and his eyes were blurred for a while.

"Li Lang, are you really so ruthless?" A beautiful woman dressed in a phoenix crown stood on the bridge, looking at Li Haocheng, her eyebrows were like willows, her eyes were like springs, and her eyes showed sadness.

Looking at the beautiful eyes that seemed to be complaining and pleading, Li Haocheng only felt that there was an extra memory in his mind, and his original memory began to blur, and he couldn't tell for a while whether she was his childhood sweetheart's fiancée, or just a fantasy derived from a fantasy.

Depriving the five senses, implanting the memory, one step at a time, one mind at a time, one life? Looking at the scene in front of him, Li Haocheng set a critical point in the jade talisman to ensure that the choices he made came from his own heart, and after converging the clear light to the extreme, he completely immersed himself in the illusion.

The so-called Dao Heart, that is, the Heart of Seeking the Dao, the so-called Dao Heart, to put it bluntly, is a question, why do you practice?

The immortal road to immortality is long, and it is a long cycle through the ages.

The most taboo thing for a cultivator is the death of the heart, if the heart is dead, no matter how high the Tao is, it will not be able to withstand the long years, and it will eventually lead to the path of self-extinction.

Therefore, many monks often travel to the world, in order to understand humanity, borrow people's hearts, condense the Tao heart, understand the heavenly heart, and use this as a basis to allow themselves to exist for a long time.

Of course, there are thousands of people and thousands of faces, and there is no difference between good and evil, right or wrong, the so-called Dao heart is only whether you can be persistent.

It's like the sixteen-character heart of Confucianism on the earth - the heart of the heart is only in danger, the heart of the Tao is only slight, and the essence is the only one, and it is allowed to cling to the middle.

In the case of those who are born in the form of qi, it is called the human heart, in the case of those who are righteous and reasonable, it is called the Taoist heart, the human heart is easy to be selfish and difficult to be public, so it is dangerous, and the Taoist heart is difficult to understand and easy to ignore, so it is subtle.

Therefore, people's hearts are high and dangerous, and the Tao heart is subtle and centered, but the essence is the only way to be the Tao heart, and if you hold this way, you can only be long-term if you do not change or change.

Therefore, you can start with killing, evil, love, love, hate, and then you can be deeply trapped in it, and Huijian detachment is also possible, as long as you are not blinded by obsession, you can get through, that is your Dao heart.

And Li Haocheng's Dao heart is very simple.

In his previous life, because of the accidental experience when he was young, he was obsessed with cultivating immortals and asked, and then he was persistent for a hundred years, although he had achievements, but because of external reasons, he was blocked from the follow-up road and could not reach the top, which was a regret for him and the biggest obsession in his heart.

When he arrived in Jiuzhou, he was adopted by Li Duhan, and he was educated, listened to the Taoist scriptures, looked at the Taoist treasure, and naturally became a Taoist heart.

The combination of the two is Li Haocheng's Dao heart.

The former is deeply rooted in the heart, and the latter is pure and subtle, so no matter how the illusion of the outside world changes, Li Haocheng finally chooses to pursue the path.

"The Dao heart has been completed, and in terms of state of mind, before the earth immortal, he has been unimpeded!" In the middle of Taiyin Peak, an old woman with white hair, looking at the round mirror, Li Haocheng, who had already walked most of the ladder to the sky, walked faster and faster, and made an assertion.

Deqing Daoist stood on the side, and said with some hesitation: "Mother-in-law, are you so optimistic about him?"

"I know your scruples! I can probably guess his question, as long as he can walk through the ladder to the heavens and is willing to make it clear, then our Taiyin Peak doesn't mind having one more True Inheritance Seed. The first seat of Taiyin Peak glanced at him, and then continued to stare at the round light mirror, and said with some emotion: "After all, the position of our chief disciple of Taiyin Peak has been idle for a long time. ”

The pupils of the Deqing Daoist shrank, and the disciples of the four main peaks of the Taiyuan Immortal Sect were divided into two kinds.

One is to seek the true transmission of the Tao, and the other is the true transmission of the palm.

The so-called true transmission of seeking the Tao refers to those disciples of the true transmission who are dedicated to seeking the Tao, although they have a noble status, they do not take care of things very much, and usually find a place to settle down in the Taiyuan Mountains.

The true transmission of the palm peak is just the opposite, it refers to those true disciples who have selfish desires and want to take charge of the authority of the main peak, and they are in charge of various matters of the main peak, such as inheriting the jade butterfly, such as the law and regulations...... And the chief disciple is the true disciple of the commander of the main peak, and the most important thing is that in the absence of the first one, the chief is usually in charge of many matters of the main peak, which is converted into the country, that is, the prince of a country, which can be described as a high power.

"But the wisp of Buddhist mana in his body. The Deqing Daoist expressed his scruples, and the first one chuckled: "If he can really step into the Taiyuan Gate and worship our Taiyin Peak before the age of twenty, then I will naturally help him solve it, in fact, the purity of the mana of the Buddha Gate is not without benefits." ”

"Benefits?" Deqing Daoist is a little strange, he is not a casual cultivator, he is very clear about the conflict between Buddhism and Taoism, although the so-called Buddhism and Taoism practitioners are not delusional, but they must always be divided into priorities, like Li Haocheng, the pure Buddha power is hidden deep in the body, it takes too much time.

"The more he suffers, the more benefits he will get, even if he still has any residual Buddhist mana after he has crossed the ladder to heaven, I have prepared two ways out for him. ”

"Two ways out?"

"One is a minor in my collection of "Bao Yueguang Bodhisattva Sutra", which condenses the incarnation of Bao Yueguang Bodhisattva, and the other is to comprehend the Taixu Divine Seal and directly swallow that wisp of Buddhist mana. ”

"Too void god seal!" Deqing Daoist really didn't expect the first seat to have this idea, his mouth opened, and he hesitated a little: "Take out that thing again, is it really good?"

"Deqing, do you also think that our decision was wrong at the beginning?

"Disciple doesn't dare?"

"Just don't you dare?" The first seat of Taiyin Peak shook his head a little tiredly, and waved his hand: "You go back first!"

ps: The sixteen-character heart biography, which is quite famous in Confucianism, I just imposed it on the Taoist theory in this book through my own understanding, which only represents my current personal opinion, if there is a dislike, please do not spray.
