Chapter 51
This temporary owner also seemed quite uncomfortable. He would be punished for just taking a sip of wine that was not much worse than juice. He seemed to have to be docile.
Just thinking about it, Ling Xiao raised the teapot on the table and poured him a cup of tea.
Lin Shu drank tea in peace like a chicken.
Ling Xiao said: "It just so happens that I also want to go to Huadang Mountain, take care of you by the way, just call my cousin."
Lin Shu: "Cousin."
Yue Ruohe was choked, clutching his neck and coughing.
After slowing down, he talked to Ling Xiao: "Brother Ling, I heard that you are under the slogan of Qing Jiang Jun."
Ling Xiao smiled and said, "Exactly, I'm practicing Suiyun Sword Sect right now."
Yue Ruohe said: "I heard the name of Suiyun Sword Sect for a long time."
Ling Xiao said: "Absurd praise."
Lin Shu quietly looked at him, and saw that this man was handsome, with a little youthful spirit on his eyebrows, and smiled like a breeze and full of light, which made people feel close—remembering Ling Fengxiao’s beautiful facial features, the power of genes can be seen from this. .
But he didn't hide his gaze, and Ling Xiao looked back again, only to see the man raised his eyebrows, a little bit like a smile.
Lin Shu: "..."
When talking to Yue Ruohe, he is gentle and polite, and when he looks at himself, he is always ready to make things difficult.
Maybe he is too weak and dissatisfied with his cousin’s engagement?
The two were talking, Lin Shu was thinking wildly, and suddenly someone patted Ling Xiao on the shoulder from behind.
"Well, you Ling Xiao!" The visitor was in the shape of a big man, and two or three people followed behind him. He smiled heartily, "Leaving us halfway, thinking you are not coming, I didn't expect to wait at the inn. Now!"
Ling Xiao said: "It's really urgent, brother forgive me."
"In a hurry?" The senior brother said, "I don't believe it. I haven't seen you for a few days. You suddenly dressed so arrogantly that we almost didn't recognize it. Didn't you go to meet a lover?"
Ling Xiao just laughed.
The senior brother also had nothing to do with him, and asked, "What are you going to do, do you follow us all the way?"
Ling Xiao said: "My cousin has support, so I won't be with you all the way."
The man looked him up and down, his eyes stopped on the knife around his waist: "This is a sword of no return? Missy is such a big hand!"
Ling Xiao said: "It has always been like this."
"This commission is worthwhile," said the brother, "be careful yourself."
Ling Xiao said: "Nature."
After listening to their conversation, Lin Shu felt a little guilty when he learned that the eldest was fostering herself and had to pay her cousin.
When he was bored a few days ago, he read the weapon book compiled by Bai Xiaosheng and included some well-known weapons in the world. The "tong sorrow" in the hands of the eldest lady and the "no return" held by Ling Xiao at this time are all listed here. There is a demon knife "won't be ashamed", seen in Xiao Shao's hand. Thinking about it this way, he can be considered a hamster who has seen the world.
Ling Xiao’s senior brother and his party sat down nearby. At this time, the lobby of the inn was almost full. A cluster of red-robed girls was also on the far side of the Phoenix Villa. They were there to eliminate the presence of Lin Shu. They are all young talents on the path of immortality. Everyone is greeting each other and seeing each other. The immortal spirits are floating and saying "Long Yang", "Absurd praise" and "Don't dare to be".
Everyone was drinking tea and chatting. After more than an hour was spent, a clear light from afar lit up, and the spiritual energy of the world suddenly became quiet.
Master Feng Lei looked at the disciple of Learning Palace and said, "The gate of heaven is open, let's go."
The disciples came out of the inn one after another, picked up the light technique, and flew towards the clear light.
Ling Xiao said softly: "Offend." Then he wrapped Lin Shu's waist with one hand and took him to fly, and after a few ups and downs, he reached the grand gate.
However, the dozen or so people who were entering the Tianmen at this time were not from the previous Xianxiang Inn, and the method of entering the Tianmen was very special.
All the people in this group wore white clothes and held long swords. The headed sword was drawn out of its sheath and swiped horizontally with a finger to inspire a three-foot sword intent. With a stroke towards the heavenly gate, the qi flowing at the heavenly gate was cut open. Just enough to allow them to enter one by one.
When they entered, the rest of the people took out the jade tokens and walked into the gate of heaven together.
"It's the Sword Pavilion disciple," Ling Xiao explained to him, "Only when the gate of heaven is opened, will the Sword Pavilion disciples go down the mountain and go to the'Wanzhang Mijin' to forge their hearts. Huadang Mountain has the imprint of the Ye Emperor. They only need to stimulate the sword. You can enter without any tokens."
Lin Shu nodded, looking at the few disciples in white who were gradually disappearing in the white mist.
After coming to this era, occasionally the feeling of homesickness is limited to the old martial arts site in the deep mountains, the hall in the old site, and the deceased master. In short, it is related to the master. Ling Fengxiao said that the sword pavilion has been born for a long time, Ling Xiao now also said that the disciples of the sword pavilion would only go down the mountain when the heavenly gate was opened. His wholehearted pursuit of the Tao and the meaning of independence from the world were similar to the ancestral precepts of the master who listened to the master since he was a child. It is undoubtedly his master.
But now I occasionally see a Sword Pavilion disciple under Huadang Mountain, but he is a little confused and dare not go forward. I don't know if he is more cowardly with his hometown feelings, or because he understands that he is not in the slightest now and can't be compared with the four-character ‘Sword Pavilion disciple’.
Let's wait for the next day.
Ling Xiao glanced at him and said, "Let's go."
Lin Shu: "Yeah."
Passing through the magnificent Tianmen, a long white step rises up the mountain, and finally disappears in the clouds and mist halfway up the mountain, not knowing where it will lead, as if it never ends.
There is no view on both sides, only large groups of white clouds that slowly stretch and curl.
This is the "Tongtian Stage" that Mr. Meng once said, and you can see that the so-called "Ninety-Nine" Stage is just a false name.
"The first ninety-nine stages of the Tongtian stage test the cultivation base, the next stage is uncertain, and it tests the will, in order to test the disciples' character, most of the learning palaces and sects do not speak." Ling Xiao said.
Lin Shu looked at the steps: "I have no cultivation base."
"I know, Xiao Mei said that you have been into a devil." Ling Xiao said, "Huadang Mountain test, cultivation base is not important, Golden Core and above can be up to ninety-nine steps, with me, you can go without worry. "
His voice is very nice, there is a very clean and gentle, and the tone is firm, very reassuring.
The people next to each other stepped up the stairs one after another. At first, everyone's pace was no different than normal.
Lin Shu stepped onto the first step, feeling slight resistance from all directions, and then up, every time he went up, the pressure would increase by one point, and the degree of increase would be greater and greater.
When he reached the tenth level, his pure physical strength was no longer able to support him, and his breathing became unstable.
Ling Xiao said: "Can you still go?"
Lin Shu said: "Try it."
Ling Xiao said: "Okay."
If people want to say that something is difficult to do, most of them will use the four words "difficult to climb to the sky", which shows the difficulty of climbing to the sky. The Tongtian stage is named Tongtian, which naturally makes sense.
Lin Shu walked up and down a step with difficulty, some sweat leaked from his forehead, and the joints all over his body seemed to be squeezed, stinging extremely.
On the next level, the pain is no longer squeezing, but directly crushed into powder.
He took a few breaths, as if collapsed.
Ling Xiao held his right arm and said, "I'll come, you will hurt."
Lin Shu thought for a while, and said, "One more level."
Ling Xiao: "Only one floor."
Lin Shu: "Yeah."
The pressure on the Tongtian Stage is not ordinary spiritual suppression, but a more vast and powerful thing. It is said that there is the true meaning of heaven in Huadang Mountain. This is it if you want to come. If you can experience it for a while, it will be of great benefit to cultivation.
At about the sixty and seventieth steps above, some people have directly meditated on the steps to enter concentration, and feel the power of heaven and earth.
Lin Shu closed his eyes and stepped forward again.
The meridians all over his body seemed to be shredded bit by bit, and his eyes went dark and he almost fainted on the spot.
"Okay," Ling Xiao patted him gently, "It's past, you can reach the twelfth floor as a mortal, it's already extraordinary."
The tone is a bit like a kindergarten teacher who is coaxing the child.
Lin Shuping took a few breaths and nodded: "...Hmm."
If the cultivation base was in the previous life, why is it so, but now you have to learn how to stop, if you just go up, you are afraid of life-threatening.
There was a sudden surge of spiritual power around Ling Xiao, and the moment the spiritual current covered Lin Shu's body, Lin Shu suddenly felt a lot of pressure on his body.
It turned out that Ling Xiao was directly mobilizing spiritual power to fight against the coercion of the heavens and the earth. If he could do this, he would be another Nascent Soul cultivation base—the eldest lady wanted to be at ease, obviously, she could really rest assured.
After the fifty steps, with Ling Xiao’s spiritual protection body, it was almost as easy as the first and second steps. After that, Lin Shu felt a little more pressure-and then once again approached the critical point. At that time, the pressure on the whole body was all gone like a tide.
"Here." Ling Xiao withdrew his spiritual power and said, "Does it still hurt? Let's rest for a while."
At this ninety-nine level, his gaze has not left Lin Shu, making Lin Shu feel that this is no longer a temporary owner, but a parent.
He is really a serious and responsible cousin.
Lin Shu slowly adjusted his breathing and slowly recovered his state, indicating that he could leave, and his cousin moved forward with him.
After a step forward, the surrounding scenery suddenly changed.
The white mist dissipated, and finally a mountain view appeared all around, and the bright red autumn maple covered the whole mountain.
At the same time, the steps at the foot became indistinct, the steps at the back were still there, but the ones in front disappeared, as if they became a void.
Lin Shu took a tentative step forward and found that the next step was emerging in the void, but there was no next step.
"This road is endless," Ling Xiao said, "The Taoist heart is clear."
Lin Shu walked forward, the steps stretched endlessly.
A gust of wind rustled in the mountains and maple forests, looking up at the sky, infinitely far away, as endless as the road under your feet, and don't know where to lead.
Lin Shu looked at the void in front, and suddenly understood what it was going to do.
There is a way to reach the sky.
If there is no way, it would be vain to climb ten thousand steps.
The road of a mortal is a road, and there is also a road in the immortal family, which is Tao.
A person who cultivates immortality has nothing more than a few kinds, for longevity, for harmony, for ascension, for force...Different desires, different ways.
what about you?
——Why did you cultivate immortals?
