Chapter 13 The ladder to heaven is as difficult as climbing to the sky
Liu Xu pondered the immortal ascension order, and his heart was envious, "I don't know who is so lucky to get this token, wouldn't it be a step to the sky and step into the immortal gate." ”
But after thinking about it, "I am also lucky enough to be able to get the immeasurable purple gold bell, which is also a great creation, I don't know how Wang Lao Wu is now, whether he has lived a rich life? The little jelly bean must have grown a lot taller, and the uncle and aunt should be very pampered, and they should be very pampered, so they are reluctant to force him to cultivate......
Being in a safe place, there is no need to tense up my nerves, my thoughts began to diverge freely, I thought of the people and things in Liuzhou Mansion, and after thinking about it, I actually fell asleep.
Let go of all the worries, no longer have to be afraid, this sleep is steady, until the sun is three poles, before waking up.
In my sleepy eyes, I only heard someone say, "Wake up, how did you sleep? I haven't slept for a long time, I really envy you!"
Liu Xu saw that Gui Yunzi had arrived in the house at some point, and hurriedly got up to meet him.
Gui Yunzi sighed and said, "To make a long story short, I discussed with several elders in the sect, and finally reached a consensus, if you want to get started, you must go up the ladder from the sky, and then talk about the Taibai inheritance." If not, then you hand over the inheritance, and from then on the two have nothing to do with each other, give you three days to think about it, and then I will pick you up. ”
After that, another long sigh!
Liu Xu knew that there could be such a result, Gui Yunzi had done his best, after all, he was only a true disciple, and his right to speak was limited, so he said at the moment: "Don't think about it, I will go to Moyun Peak with you now, and I will not disappoint you." ”
Gui Yunzi saw Liu Xu's resolute expression, and his heart was settled, and he opened his mouth and praised: "Okay, I really didn't see the wrong person." ”
--------------------- Dividing Line------------------
Moyun Peak, like a sharp sword, went straight into the sky bare, more than a thousand bluestone steps spiraled up, and the rest all disappeared into the clouds!
"Only the means of the immortal family can create such a spectacle. ”
From Guiyunzi's mouth, I learned that this ladder to heaven is also known as the road of asking the heart, there are 9,999 steps, it is the ancestor of the Xuanji Taoist sect, refined with great mana, and most of the people who have entered the sect in the past dynasties have left their names in history.
Walking on it, you can't move any spells, flying swords and magic weapons, etc., you need to rely on your personal strength, step by step to the top, since the opening of the faction, the fastest record to reach the peak is thirty-three days.
Liu Xu meditated cross-legged, restored his spirit to the best state, and climbed more than 500 steps in one breath, already tired and sweating. Looking at the railing, it seems to be in the clouds, surrounded by lush greenery, faint clouds and mist, and Sunset Town is the size of a palm.
Looking at the strange scene in front of him, he was heroic, and he couldn't help but want to take an inscription, who knew that he vaguely saw a few lines of words, engraved on the stone steps, and looked closely, but he laughed out loud.
Huang Shilang visited here;
What bullshit fairy gate, Lao Tzu is not on;
A bunch of big fools x;
It's as easy as it gets;
Brother, I'm waiting for you!(handwriting, woman's handwriting)
"This ladder to heaven is worthy of being called the road of inquiry, witnessing everyone's heart!" So he also followed the local customs and wrote the words "I came".
After a short break, I continued to climb, and when I looked closely, I found that there were handwriting on almost every stone step, but most of it had been blurred with the erosion of time.
The higher you go, the stronger the wind, and the sound of 'whistling', disturbing the mind, if you are not careful, you may fall off the cliff, and you will die in the body, so you have to carry your internal breath to stabilize your body.
Cold and lonely, walking alone, after a day and a night, Liu Xu had reached the two thousand steps, only to feel that his limbs trembled, his mind was blank, and the Xuanzhen in his body was exhausted.
Coincidentally, I saw the handwriting of Na Juanxiu again, 'Come on, junior brother!'.
Liu Xu had a sense of communicating with people across time and space, and he couldn't help but feel childlike, mobilize the only remaining true qi, and engrave 'Senior sister, are you waiting for me?'
In the early morning of the second day, after absorbing the purple qi, he continued on his way.
Starting from the two thousand steps, he had just taken a step, and suddenly a suction force came from his feet, which pulled out most of the true qi in his body, and he was caught off guard and almost fell, which was really difficult.
When you reach the 3,000th step, you have to cross your knees to recover with each step, otherwise you can't continue. However, the benefits are obvious, carrying the true qi all the time, making the meridians smoother, and the acupoints more and more condensed.
"Since the ladder to the sky has such an effect, it is just a good time to polish the tricks, and there is no need to rush up!"
In this way, day after day, meditating and climbing the steps, climbing the steps and meditating, it is boring and crazy, but fortunately, there is the handwriting of the predecessors to watch, and it will not be lonely to death.
During the period, he actually found that the woman left the word 'guess', which shocked Liu Xu and thought of the word "heart".
The founding patriarch of the Xuanji Taoist Sect is to ask the meaning of loneliness, and only then did he set up this ladder to the sky, and only by enduring loneliness can he hone his Dao heart. As the cultivation deepens, once in retreat, it can take tens or hundreds of years, and if the Dao heart is not honed enough, it may make people go mad or go crazy and die.
Moreover, walking on it requires repeated replenishment of true qi, so that the foundation can be polished more solidly.
When Liu Xu arrived at the Qiqian Wu Bai Steps, it had been half a year, after a long time of wind, sun and rain, his skin was dark, and his clothes were tattered, but his eyes were getting brighter and brighter, and when he opened and closed, there seemed to be electric flashes.
Without distractions, he entered the country very quickly, carried his internal breath every day, condensed his true qi, and successfully broke through more than 40 tricks, and only stopped moving when he arrived at the Du Mai.
Liu Xu was happy in his heart, "Only here can this kind of effect be achieved, if it is a step-by-step cultivation, it will take at least three or five years!"
It's March again, and when it reaches the 9,500th level, the whole person is like an out-of-body sword, with a sharp edge.
In the past three months, Liu Xu has only carried Xuanzhen back and forth, repeatedly polishing the more than 160 tricks that have been broken away, making them more than three times wider.
At this point, the handwriting of the predecessors is very rare, and it takes a long time to see one or two sentences, and the woman's handwriting is still there, and she should have entered the sect.
"Hey! If the Dao is really ruthless, but everyone is equal, those who are not strong in the Dao are afraid that they have already died, or have turned back on their own. ”
Rest for a few days, adjust yourself to the best condition, and prepare to reach the top in one go, the vast immortal road has been opened, and nothing can stop it.
It was night, everything was quiet, even the never-ending wind, all disappeared without a trace, suddenly, Xuanzhen in the body moved spontaneously, an inexplicable wisp of qi erupted, Liu Xu knew the opportunity, took a deep breath, took a firm step, step by step, step by step to the top.
When he stepped up the 10,000th step, he looked back, the last darkness before dawn was broken, and the morning sun broke free from its shackles and rose from the sea, reflecting his face and body!
Liu Xu sang and said: The morning glow shines colorful from the east, reflecting my staggering to the sky. Now the heart of the Tao is clear and transparent, and the true qi is as thick as the sea.
After singing, take a deep breath, and the purple air will come from the east.
With the help of the qi machine that broke through the sea surface of the rising sun, Liu Xu's vitality fluttered around his body, his divine thoughts flew up, and the yin and yang Xuanzhen were like a big river, surging endlessly, rumbling in his body, rushing all the way, like a broken bamboo.
There was a loud 'boom', and it completely broke away from the Du Pulse, and after running for a big week, it was exhausted.
So far, Liu Xu has been cultivating for four years, and he has broken through one hundred and sixty-six tricks, and if others know about it, he will definitely be cut open and crushed for research.
Savoring the taste, I only feel that the true qi is everywhere, a hot current in the dantian circulates and grows, and most of the soul nourishing building is ignited, and the soul is transparent, as if it is going to go out of the body at any time.
At this moment, I only heard someone shouting: "What kind of person, early in the morning, this ghost screams?
I saw a square of acres and acres, a lonely portal, about two zhang high, about three zhang wide, one or two people high stone monument on the left, a thatched house on the right, a little fat man at the door, with open chest and breasts, looking at him sleepily.
Suddenly, as if he had thought of something, the little fat man hurriedly ran to Liu Xu, stared at him with big eyes and asked, "You... You... You boarded it from here?"
With a definite answer, the little fat man's mouth opened into an O-shape, and he could easily stuff a duck egg, hurriedly ran back to the grass house, took out a gong, and struck it nine times, but to Liu Xu's surprise, there was no sound.
In a few moments, seven people rushed out of the portal, holding various magic weapons in their hands, and surrounded Liu Xu.
The leader looked at him twice, and shouted: "Dead fat man, is this kid who is here to invade the mountain gate? I see that he will be able to breathe in the sky, as for ringing the bell nine times!"
According to the laws of the sect, when a guest comes to visit, or when the enemy comes to provoke, it depends on the situation. If someone comes from the ladder of heaven, he must strike nine times to show that the sect is about to flourish.
The guy known as the Dead Fat Man, named Zhang Yi, was quite familiar with the laws of the sect, so he was arranged to be in charge of the Dao Bell here.
Zhang Yi trembled with a fat face, and said breathlessly: "Senior Brother Bai, he... He... He's coming up from over there!"
Senior Brother Bai didn't understand yet, and continued to shout: "What do you climb up from there? What? What do you say? ”
After confirming it several times, there was a "whoosh" sound, and the pot exploded, and everyone talked about it, some expressed doubts, some expressed envy, and some came over to set up a close, asking questions and questions.
Liu Xu was watched by everyone, a little embarrassed, and was thinking about how to get out, when someone stepped out of the door, and the seven people hurriedly saluted and shouted Elder Xu.
Elder Xu said, "You wait and go back to your respective posts, and I will handle this place." ”
Several people bowed down and said yes, and peeked at Liu Xu, as if they wanted to remember his appearance, so they didn't see him when they entered.
Elder Xu looked at Liu Xu and said, "Since you came from the ladder to the sky, first leave your name on the monument of the past and the future, and I will take you to report later." ”
The stele is made of meteorites outside the sky, specifically recording the people who climbed from the ladder to encourage the disciples. Those who have left their names here are famous in the Xuanji Taoist Sect and even in this world, and they have also left a strong mark in the long history.
Liu Xu came to the stele to watch, there are not many names on it, the top one is called Gan Cheng, and the bottom one is called Han Wan'er.
"How can this be named, is it portrayed with true qi?"
Elder Xu seemed to see Liu Xu's embarrassment, and opened his mouth to point: "Just hold the body of the stele and recite your name silently." Liu Xu did as he said, the body of the monument was radiant and generous, and then under Han Wan'er, his two words were revealed.
