Volume 18 Chapter 2: The Ladder and Purple Gate

"Boy, why are you here now? A small bridge that is close to the sky is taking you?" Wuyan patted my shoulder with a smile.

I shrugged: "I can't learn from you to be a scoundrel, so I have to make a desperate move with my real skills."

Wuyan nodded seriously: "I fully understand your sour and jealousy, haha."

I smiled: "It seems that people with simple minds do live happier."

Wuyan said lazily: "Every family has a difficult sutra, who has no annoying thoughts? The key is whether you can let go. The so-called contentment is always happy, can you do it?"

I was stunned when I heard this. For Hai Ji, I went to Luo Shengtian to compete for the bride, which greatly reduced my face, but he didn't care. This kind of freedom and freedom was purely due to nature, and no one could learn it.

Wuyan pointed to the ladder: "Let me give you a warm guide to you, the local bun. This is the second level leading to Bodhi Courtyard - Luofu Ladder. There are six bulb doors on the top of the ladder. Those who successfully reach the top can enter the bulb door and reach the third level. Once someone successfully enters, the opposite bulb door will also close." He raised four fingers and shook his head: "So, only four of us can enter the third level."

I said wonderingly: "Since there are only four candidates, you should rush to join us. Why do you stand here and wait?"

Wuyan said: "Before, Chu Du, Young Master Ying had not arrived, so everyone was not in a hurry to climb the ladder, and they were happy to watch Bichaoge show off their skills. Besides, the mysterious hidden secret of Luofu Ladder, you will understand later." He blinked at me mysteriously.

I smiled faintly, knowing that everyone regarded Brother Bi as a path-exploring stone. Looking at Luofu Ladder carefully, each step was snow-white in color, made of neither stone nor jade, and constantly sprayed out mist. On the shiny steps, lifelike strange birds and beasts, flowers, birds, fish, insects, swords, guns, swords, monsters and demons, and creatures were also resurrected and launched a storm-like attack on him.

"These strange things were sealed in Luofu Sky Ladder by Jixiangtian." Wuyan said, "Once someone climbs the ladder and touches the ban, the seal will be automatically lifted."

I looked solemn. I could imagine how I could climb the ladder step by step. With the sword light like jade, the Bichao Ge was trapped in many sieges and made a breakthrough with difficulty.

Chu Du did not hesitate, and his toes slid into an inch, crossing dozens of steps in one step. The wind was howling, and a dark sword carved on the steps flew out, shooting out a dazzling black light, and slashing down at him.

"Boom"! The sharp sword only slashed a afterimage. Chu Du was already on a higher staircase. The strange beasts on the stairs rushed out. Chu Du took another step, and the distance of ten feet high was suddenly shortened, and the attacks of the strange beasts fell into nothing. Chu Du's steps were wrong, and his body shook. A series of attacks flashed and he kept approaching Bichao Ge.

Countless tentacles shot out from the steps. A strange earth-yellow beast as round as a ball floated out on the steps. The tentacles intertwined into a net of sky, sealing Chu Du from all directions.

Chu Du's body was stagnant. When he waved his tentacles, the air around him was condensed into a light yellow substance, faintly shining, like a copper wall and iron wall, and could no longer pass through easily. With a clear roar, Chu Du's ten fingers were like flowers blooming. He gently plucked, as if invisible silk threads were tugging, cleverly guiding the tentacles to tangle into a ball, tied multiple knots, and could no longer dance. With a kick, Chu Du kicked the strange beast out, crossing several layers of steps, and swept forward like a bamboo shoot, rushing straight up like lightning.

On the ladder, an antique three-eared bronze tripod suddenly rose. It spewed out dazzling colorful flames, covering Chu Du. It sucked him into the cauldron. The body of the furnace changed, and seven dragons of different colors spread their teeth and claws, roaring around the cauldron.

I secretly squeezed a cold sweat, but I didn't expect that the more Luofu ladder went up, the stronger it was, and even Chu Du was trapped. "Bang bang bang", the cover of the tripod jumped violently, the belly of the tripod bulged little by little, and the dragon roared violently, one after another. With a loud bang, the tripod furnace exploded, and Chu Du soared into the sky, his skin was moist without any scars, but the hem of the blue shirt was roasted black by the fire.

The people below were shaking and silent. Wuyan came to my ear and whispered: "How much do you have to win?"

I pondered for a while and said, "Brother Bi and I are in the same position, but my magic power is far inferior. Even Brother Bi is so hard, so I will probably be in vain." If you use Poison Shadow, you may have a great chance, but such secret weapons cannot be easily displayed.

Wuyan sneered: "My Ganges Sand Shield is the best Horcrux in the North Defence, but you can make some profits. It's better for us to cooperate." After that, he said in detail.

"Everyone, I'll get on the first." Gongzi Ying bowed to everyone and slowly climbed the stairs. His hand was brushing the papa, neither anxious nor dry, his mind was as elegant as walking in the garden without any trace of fireworks. "Ding Ding Dong Dong", the sound of the pipa was ethereal and clear, like a profound and mysterious magic spell, which actually made the strange birds and beasts on the ladder unable to break out of the stairs, and kept struggling and squirming, bound by the music.

The lantern floating ladder was as dangerous as the sky, and it turned into a open and open road in front of Gongzi Ying. He walked slowly through the various creatures, just like sightseeing.

Wuyan said with a slight tongue: "Why is Mr. Ying more powerful than Chu Du?"

I shook my head: "It's not necessarily. Gongzi Ying beat the strange beasts on the ladder with music. It seemed relaxed, but in fact he had done his best. Therefore, he could only climb the ladder step by step, and could not soar as straight as Chu Du." As expected, Chu Du and Gongzi Ying would inevitably occupy half of the four places, and the remaining two poncho gates became the focus of the competition.

Everyone looked at each other, spread their bodies at the same time, and jumped towards the Luofu Ladder.

Wuhen turned into a ball of sand shadow and appeared on the Luofu ladder. Several white tigers with wings on their backs roared and flew out. Wuhen was calm and calm, sand particles grew around him and rolled, gathering into a sand flower. The petals closed layer by layer, wrapping him tightly in the heart of the bud.

"Bang!" The sharp tiger claws hit the sand flower, like defeating the leather. The petals of the sand flower suddenly bloomed, shaking the white tiger out.

"With your old man's strength, it is very likely to enter Pengmen." I looked at Wuyan and said strangely, "If you join forces with Wuhen and his son, you should be sure to reach the top, right?"

A hint of undetectable sadness flashed between Wuyan's eyebrows. "How can I join forces with me to get through the barriers as my father?" He was silent for a while. He smiled as if he was concealed.

At this time, Wuhen had crossed several levels, and the flowers of sand were like an indestructible moving fortress, blocking the endless attacks of the ladder.

For a moment, everyone seemed to be like the Eight Immortals crossing the sea, each showing their magical powers. The owl cried like a ball of green ghost fire, moving like a ghost. Once strange birds and beasts touched it, they instantly turned into white bones, leaving no meat residue. Afanti waved the beautiful flower brush like crazy, and the colorful juice splashed. Countless birds and beasts were born out of thin air to fight for him. Sun Simiao's body continued to surge, and the hind limbs stood up, turning into a towering giant, with black armor covering the whole body. The celestial dog swung the giant hammer made of its front legs, smashed and beat them hard, and made a majestic way in front of Sun Simiao. The little white rabbit hid in the medicine basket. He kept throwing out various herbs and pollen. Many strange beasts were lazy when they sniffed it.

I can't help myself on the ground.

Some unknown masters in the world also showed their true talents. An old man with a scattered head did not act when facing the golden group of Gu worms. He said "jiligulu" in his mouth, and the group of Gu worms was like a tamed sheep. He dispersed obediently. A fierce and beautiful wooden lord actually put his head over and let the old man touch it, and a happy smile appeared on his ugly face.

"The secret Taoist technique of resurrection!" Wuyan suddenly shouted in surprise.

Looking along his gaze, a man as thin as a dead tree climbed towards the ladder without any rushing or slowing down. His face was stiff and shaped like a mud doll, allowing strange beasts and insects to swarm, bite and grab his shoulders, chest, legs, and arms, but the wounds all over his body seemed to have blood and flesh. He healed quickly. Even his head was cut off by a sharp sword light, and another head appeared in his neck.

I was stunned: "Is this still a human? It's simply an indestructible monster."

Wuyan's face was still shocked: "The secret Taoist technique of resurrection has been lost for millions of years. I didn't expect to see it today. According to legend, this secret Taoist technique can enter the Yellow Spring Heaven with the body of the ghosts, and after the soul refining of the Netherworld, the soul will not disappear, and maintain its original earthly wisdom, which can be called the most mysterious magic in the North."

A trace of inspiration suddenly flashed through my mind, and I suddenly grabbed Wuyan: "What did you say? Can the secret Taoist technique of resurrection enter the Huangquantian with its physical body?"

Wuyan nodded: "I Piao Tian Si Luo Zhi" records this way, I don't know if it is true. Hello, why did you catch me so tightly? I am not used to being intimate with men."

"It's probably true." I let go of my hand and murmured to myself. An incredible thought arose in my heart. Dragon Butterfly and Ge Gewu both studied the "Reincarnation Demonic Book" and used the high tide period of the Nether River to be reincarnated. The former was obviously more clever. Not only did they separate the ignorant "I" into the Tang Dynasty, but the knowledgeable "self" still hid in the northern border, waiting for an opportunity to move. Once I swallowed me, the dragon butterfly would combine the power of life and death into a furnace, and integrate the wisdom, experience, and magic power of the past and future lives to achieve the most ideal reincarnation effect.

This is the true perfect reincarnation. Not only can it be reborn, it can also increase its strength and change its qualitatively, break the way in one fell swoop, subvert the laws of heaven and earth, and enter an unprecedented state. The most mysterious thing is that it can make two "self" live in the northern realm at the same time, and do their own things in the past and present lives.

In contrast, the Gege Witch is simply a thing for a child. Despite his successful reincarnation, he is always trapped in the python and it is difficult to restore the original state of his previous life. How could the Gege Witch, who has been immersed in the "Reincarnation Demonic" for many years, be worse than the Dragon Butterfly? Unless the latter masters the magic that Gege Witch does not understand, thus creating a better way of reincarnation.

The most likely place where the dragon butterfly hides is Huangquantian. So how can he keep his soul immortal and avoid his soul being scattered? Even absorbing the dead energy of Huangquantian to practice and have a brand new power?

The only explanation is that he has a magical technique similar to the secret Taoist technique of resurrection, so he is very likely to have come into contact with the thin man on the ladder. He enters the secret Taoist technique of reincarnation in the Yellow Spring Heaven and Earth, and is the compulsory reincarnation demon scripture for reincarnation. He takes advantage of the opportunity of being pursued by Jixiangtian to commit suicide and escape from the world, forcing Gan Ningzhen and the other two to become my bodyguards, like an intertwined net, connected and without leaking water.

I clearly know that Longdie is waiting for my growth, and when the power of my "life" grows into a perfect fit with his death power, it completely swallows me. Thinking of this, I was shocked and admired. When Chu Du and Gongzi Ying were still pursuing hard on the way of heaven, the more I knew the light, Longdie has embarked on a brand new road.

Wuyan shook his hand in front of me, his eyes strange: "Why are you stupid? The secret Taoist technique of resurrection is indeed magical, but to put it bluntly, it is just a magic spell. When encountering a master like Chu Du and Gongzi Ying, the continuous heavy blows can make him wiped out, and his flesh and blood are not too late to be resurrected. Besides, who will live impatiently and go to the Yellow Springs to wander around?"

I casually said, staring at this thin man. As long as the lotus flower ended, I will definitely win this person. At this time, only I was left at the foot of the ladder, and Wuyan and Longyanque were still watching.

A cry of pain suddenly came from mid-air. A man was surrounded by several fiery red Pixiu, and he forced down the stairs and disappeared without a trace.

"The Luofu ladder can only move forward but not backward." Wuyan explained, "Otherwise, it will be automatically sent out of this place." As soon as he finished speaking, another person was knocked out and disappeared on the ladder.

Longyan Bird looked at Wuyan and me, took out more than a dozen dried plums, and threw them into his mouth, and said vaguely: "Why are the two talents not here?"

Just as I was about to answer, the voice of the Longyan Bird came from my mind: "Lin Fei, those who successfully passed the three levels and entered the Bodhi Academy will surely become famous in the world afterwards. If you succeed, you can establish enough prestige in the future."

I nodded slightly and glanced at Wuyan, who was unconscious, and the latter said in confusion: "Why didn't Miss Long climb the ladder?"

"I just like to watch the excitement. I'd better give it to you guys." Longyan Bird glanced at me meaningfully.

I knew that this was a favor given by Longyan Bird. With her unfathomable spiritual magic, she had a good chance of winning. If she took another place, the hope she would leave me was almost slim.

"It's our turn to appear without underwear." Wuyan looked at the figure on the ladder that was gradually being blocked by clouds and rushed up first.

I immediately used the feather Taoist technique and flew up to follow. Unexpectedly, my body stopped and seemed to be stuck in the air. "Room". The dazzling blue light shone brightened the field of vision, and countless thunder and lightning exploded around, hitting the head and face.

Wubei screamed: "Oh no! I forgot to remind you that flying is prohibited on Luofu ladder." His eyes showed a prank smile.

"Wow, you did it on purpose!" I said depressedly. No wonder Chu Du didn't fly before. I thought he deliberately showed off his magic power. It turned out that there was another reason.

"Fen!" I let out a sharp roar, and my spiritual sense and meteorological technique blocked all the lightning from all directions. The toes hit several steps and caught up with Wuyan.

Dozens of strange beasts broke the seal and rushed out with a fierce aura. The strange beast's face was like a boy, the body of a leopard, the tail of a phoenix, and the smell of rotten smell came from the fangs dripping with pus.

The Ganges sands were immediately transformed into several shields on his faceless chest. One hundred and a hundred, forming a dense defense net around us. "Bang bang bang", the beast claws hit the shield in a row, like defeating the Gre. Without any worries, I was relieved to attack, and the scarlet-red dragon gun roared out, shooting through several strange beasts in succession, and rushed upwards without stopping.

With one attack and one defense, Wuyan and I cooperated perfectly. I drove the way and charged with all my might. The Chi gun was unstoppable, like a crazy dragon going out to sea, galloping everywhere, invincible. Wuyan followed closely, and the Ganges sands and shields were defending the storm and rain, resolving all kinds of attacks of the ladder one by one.

With half a burning incense, we had crossed five people and rushed to the middle of the ladder with an astonishing height. Above our heads, people were sent out of the ladder because they could not resist. When we rushed up hundreds of feet, there were only a few people climbing the ladder.

Chu Du took the lead, not far from the top of the ladder, and was fighting with a ball of fog and clouds. Nearly a hundred feet apart was nowhere below

Surrounded by a Taoist formation composed of green bamboo shoots, the bamboo shoots are sometimes broken and sometimes swallowed by the sand flowers. Then there is Gongzi Ying, who takes a calm step and has a graceful look. The first step is to climb the ladder, the blue tide is falling in fourth place, only one step ahead of Xiaohui.

The five of them were far ahead, obviously the most promising to enter Pengmen. However, the higher they went, the greater the resistance of the ladder. Coupled with the sharp consumption of mana, the longer it took for each level to reach.

"Clang", the Chi Gun shot an egg-shaped monster with a metallic luster all over. To my surprise, the invincible Chi Gun only left a small hole in the other party's throat. The monster was not bloody, and a "rumbling" noise came out from the abdomen, aiming at me and crashing hard.

Wuyan suddenly turned to me, raised his thumb, and turned the monster into a sand sculpture. The dragon gun then ejected out, and the monster turned into powder and splashed.

"Boy, work hard and catch up with the few in front." Zhi flew quickly. A dozen feet above it was Afanti, Sun Simiao and a man who was good at the secret Taoist art of resurrection. Among the three, Sun Simiao, who had a low cultivation level, rushed in front. He waved a magic hoe with a strange fragrance in his hand. Under the escort of Tiangou and Little White Rabbit, he passed the test repeatedly, and looked back at Afanti behind him from time to time.

"Old Sun, I can't do it anymore, please don't care." Afanti said gritting his teeth. He was entangled by a ball of sticky and squirting out of the solution's mouth. A bunch of turbid foam splashed out from his body.

Sun Simiao stayed in place, hesitating. After a while, I had already swept to Afanti, aimed at the solution, and sprayed out a mouthful of Samadhi's true fire.

With a "sheep!", the fire extinguished. The solution was not only intact, but also expanded rapidly.

"It's useless, this monster is not afraid of fire at all." Afanti glanced at me quickly and gritted his teeth, "I'm accepting your love."

"You don't have to see you." I used all my strength to use the "Che" technique of spiritual meteorology and punched out with my right fist. The solution rolled down from Afanti's body and turned into a large pool of wet foam. At the same time, I grabbed Wuyan with my left hand and used the "Tattoothing" to sweep upwards.

The back of the thin man came into sight. I smiled coldly, and the Chi gun aimed at his back and shot it out suddenly. The thin man screamed, and a series of blood rain splashed on his back. He was dealing with a white jade rhino rushing towards him, but he expected to be suddenly attacked from his back? In a hurry, his body staggered, and we had passed by. He flew up and I kicked him off the ladder.

For the moment I disappeared in the air, I clearly saw the angry and resentful expression on his face.

"This is OK? Are you too dark, right?" Wuyan frowned, and several shields of the Ganges River suddenly moved horizontally, blocking the rain of arrows with silver light on the left.

I kept making mistakes, avoiding a few ferocious beasts with a mysterious trajectory, and said lightly: "Since there are only four places, then those who are in front of us are all enemies, why be hypocritical and polite?" Leaving the Queen of Jixiang, this person will definitely hold a grudge and stare at me. Then, he will automatically come to his door without me visiting the north. This is my real purpose of plotting against him.

"We have already rushed him. There is no need to live a life of trouble." Wuyan pondered for a moment and said, "Do you want the secret Taoist technique of resurrection?"

My heart was thrilled. This kid was smart enough to guess. "You said too, this secret Taoist technique is like a useless person. How could I care about it? Do I like to be in the Huangquan Tianan family?" I said indifferently.

As we continue to climb higher, we break through each level of the earth level and slower. We consume most of our magic power, our chests are rising and falling rapidly, and we are sweating profusely. But I become more and more brave as we fight. The thirteen seven emotions and six desire monsters in my spiritual consciousness dance and leaps, radiating and radiating, and the energy of my whole body flows, endlessly.

Up another step, Bichaoge was immediately in front of him. He was shrouded in the pervasive sword aura, staring at the front as if facing a great enemy, motionless. On this level, no strange beasts and monsters appeared at all.

"Brother Bi!" I just took a step forward, and an unfathomable huge force suddenly attacked from the right like a surging undercurrent. Terrifyingly, this huge force silently penetrated several shields of the Ganges sand.

"Brother Fei, be careful!" Bi Chaoge's right palm suddenly slashed out, and with a "boom", the air waves swayed slightly, and Wuyan fell backwards. My left arm instantly turned into an iron chain, wrapped around Wuyan's waist like lightning, pulling him back.

"It's so dangerous!" I said in horror. If Brother Bi hadn't taken action in time, Wuyan and I would have probably fallen off the ladder.

"This level of ladder is very strange. As long as you move, invisible power will be generated to suppress you, making it impossible for people to go up to another level." Bichaoge explained hurriedly.
To be continued...
