Opening the door, Ning Shi tiptoed in. Duanmuwan called out softly, "Shi'er?"

"Mother." Ning Shi replied quickly.

"Why did you come back so late from playing? Go and wash up and go to bed..."

"I know, mother." Ning Shi responded, then took out the book "Never Give Up" placed under the coffee table, and returned to his room with the crane-legged lantern.

Recalling the experience of this day, Ning Shi couldn't help lying on the bed and exhaled softly, looking at the ceiling reflected in the dark red by the candlelight, feeling a little lost. "This day was really fulfilling. Not only did I understand the magic of immortality, but I also understood the principles of martial arts."

Cultivation realm. Are there really immortal people in this world? And Ning Tian, ​​he is really powerful, both in terms of character and strength, he is above me."

Ning Shi thought about it, then he stood up from the bed, took out the booklet copied by his mother, and said to himself firmly: "Only when there is pressure, there is motivation! Ning Tian, ​​before the Shuiyue Conference, I will definitely

More than you! I will never let Ning Shaoyan find an excuse to seize the blood dragon root."

In the small bedroom, Ning Shi sat on the bed and opened "Never Give Up" with the light of a quietly burning oil lamp.

There is a saying at the beginning: "Practice Taoism, each level is like sailing against the current, if you don't advance, you will retreat. However, a drop of water can penetrate a stone, and everything will happen naturally. So no matter what it is, you must persevere. Only by continuous efforts can you achieve your goals.

The goal."

After reading the opening words, Ning Shi sat on the bed and thought: "These words tell me that cultivating the Tao is invisible and intangible, but as long as you persevere, you will definitely succeed."

Ning Shi turned to the second page. On the rough yellow paper, Juanxiu's small characters wrote: "The world is filled with all kinds of vitality. If you want to absorb these vitality into your body, you must first see them."

"This process is the first acquaintance. But this process is very difficult because you don't know how to see them. It's like the soul is obviously a part of you, but you can't see or touch it."

"The principles of both are the same. To put it simply, grains and vegetables are the only food, while the vitality of heaven and earth is the food of the soul. Our soul is not naturally strong, so how can we make it strong? That is to make it

The soul eats."

"If you want to make the soul strong, you must let the soul absorb the vitality of heaven and earth. However, the vitality of heaven and earth cannot be seen directly, so the first step in cultivating the Tao is to see the vitality of heaven and earth, which is the realm of first knowledge."

Ning Shi thought for a while and understood the moral meaning mentioned above. After all, the words in the booklet are easy to understand, and the examples are vivid and clear, and it is not like other Taoist scriptures that are obscure and talk about spiritual cultivation in a magical way.

Ning Shi continued to scroll down.

"There are many ways to enter the realm of first consciousness, and the cultivation methods of each sect are also different, but the principle is the same. To trace back to the source is nothing more than calming down first, and then imagining the shape of the vitality in the air.

To gradually gain understanding. Or simply to get out of the body and see with the soul. In this book "Never Give Up", everything is directed to the heart and traces back to the origin. No matter what hardships are ahead, treat them as normal.

, move forward indomitably.”

But how can we achieve "calmness"? There is no introduction above. Fortunately, Ning Shi is a child, so it is very easy to have no distracting thoughts.

Turn to the next page.

This page is no longer a line of beautiful handwriting, but a painting with a few words.

It read: "Practicing the way of heaven is as difficult as climbing to the sky, so I asked, 'Where is the difficulty of climbing to the sky?' The difficulty is that there are no wings, and the difficulty is that there is no way to go. Then I will draw a ladder for you to climb. Climb to

At the top, the soul will naturally reach the heaven, and it will be able to leave the body if it climbs further! The soul's departure from the body is the first step to the realm of first knowledge."

"During the climb, it's like dreaming. The soul will be blocked by the body when leaving the body, often producing various hallucinations to prevent the soul from leaving itself, such as sweet and bitter, pain, numbness, itching, hunger and cold. You only need to remember two sentences

"Who will wake up first from the big dream? I will know it all my life. It is hard on my mind, straining my body and skin, depleting my body, and messing up my actions. This is why God has bestowed a great responsibility on you!"

After reading this line of text, Ning Shi's eyes couldn't help but look below the small characters "Juanjuan". There was a ladder drawn on the page.

The painting of this ladder is extremely realistic, as if there really is such a ladder, standing on the earth, helping people climb to the sky. If this booklet is thrown outside, I am afraid it will cause an uproar in the entire cultivation world, not only because of the previous words

The essence of each sentence is revealed, and it is because the painting of this ladder to heaven has drawn the entire avenue of heaven and earth into it.

This is the result of a person who has touched the laws of heaven and earth, separated out a trace of his understanding of heaven and earth, and sealed it in a painting!

Ning Shi only took one look, then entered a state of trance and came to the painting.

The room disappeared and was replaced by an endless wasteland. The air here was very dry. A gust of wind blew and billowing yellow sand swept up. The wild vegetables in twos and threes in the distance were covered with dust. Ning Shi turned around and saw a straight tree.

The ladder to heaven stands quietly on the earth.

This is a ladder that connects the sky and the earth. Looking up, you feel that the ladder body stretching into the clouds contains incomparable mystery.

Ning Shi took a deep breath, then grabbed the ladder and climbed up.

Not long after climbing, Ning Shi was surprised to find that there was a hint of smoke in the air. Looking for the smell of smoke, he saw a small courtyard standing on the edge of the desert in the distance. A familiar woman waved to him, seemingly calling

He goes home for dinner.

Just as he was about to go down, Ning Shi suddenly saw a line of small words carved on the bottom of the ladder - "All phenomena are false."

Ning Shi was startled, gritted his teeth and continued to crawl.

Ning Shi climbed higher and higher, and the wind became stronger and stronger. Ning Shi vaguely felt the ladder shaking. Even though he knew it was fake, he couldn't help but look down.

Illusions abound.

At some point, the ground seemed to really crack, shaking the foundation of the ladder. Ning Shi frowned, ignored it, and continued to climb up.

Time passed little by little, and the day gradually turned into night. The cool evening wind in the high sky made a whining cry, blowing on Ning Shi, making him shiver a few times. Sleepiness and hunger were in the cold air.

It looked more real under the erosion, and the swelling of the muscles made it difficult for him to raise his hands.

"At this time, it would be great if there was a roast chicken that could be cooked over a campfire and eaten!" Just as he thought of this, a faint aroma flew into Ning Shi's nose along with the wind.

Ning Shi desperately sniffed the source of the smell and couldn't help but look towards the ground again. In the distance, a huge bonfire was as beautiful as a blooming lotus. Countless boys and girls danced happily around the bonfire. On the bonfire was a

A leg of lamb, the golden fat sizzling under the flames.

Standing on the cold ladder, Ning Shi couldn't help but his throat twitched slightly, and he swallowed hard. Looking at the ladder again, it was as short as if he could return to the ground in three or two steps, and then run to the bonfire not far away.

"Toughing his mind, working his muscles and bones, starving his skin, and depleting his body. It's really powerful." Ning Shi shook his head and smiled, then dragged his stiff body towards the sky again.

I don’t know how long I’ve been climbing, but dawn has broken in the sky. The sun rises quickly. The scorching sunlight illuminates the earth golden, like the roast sheep I saw last night. The air is distorted by the hot wind, and even the ladder begins to become hot to the touch.

Already.

Sticking out his tongue and puckering his chapped lips, Ning Shi realized that even his tongue was so dry that there was no saliva left on it.

Not far away, a dark cloud was gathering towards this side. Instead of being afraid, Ning Shi was vaguely hoping that it would drift over and make it rain, even just a drop.

Ning Shi thought while holding on to the ladder and continuing to crawl slowly.

His hands were cracked and his clothes were covered with dust. The soreness and numbness in his body, as well as the itching from the wind and sand in his clothes, were as uncomfortable as a hundred claws scratching his heart.

That black cloud really flew over, blocked the sun, and started pouring rain.

The raindrops made Ning Shi's cheeks hurt, but he couldn't help but open his mouth. The rainwater entered his mouth, which was extremely salty and bitter, and he couldn't help but want to vomit.

Immediately afterwards, Ning Shi's spleen and stomach began to feel cramped, and waves of hunger and thirst eroded his nerves.

This feeling was fatal, and soon the cramping pain in the spleen and stomach extended to other organs, and all the meridians of the seven orifices were twitching like cramps.

Ning Shi gritted his teeth and lay down on the ladder to rest, but suddenly, his body fell down.

The ladder is sinking!

Ning Shi couldn't help but feel a sense of despair, and shouted at the sky: "There's no way to climb up, it's a lie! It's all a lie!"

Just after Ning Shi finished shouting these words, there was a sudden warmth in his arms. It was the volume of the book "Never Give Up" that was heating up.

After a brief absence, Ning Shi was silent for a moment, and said to himself in a hoarse voice: "Practice is like sailing against the current. If you don't advance, you will retreat." Then he continued to climb up.

The rain became more and more pouring and cold.

Ning Shi's hair was already disheveled, and his clothes were soaked by the rain and gave off a strange smell. He gasped for air, exhaling white mist, and moved forward, and then forward.

Snap——

As he grabbed his arm, a slight chill spread throughout his body. It was extremely cold at high places, ice began to form on the ladder, and the air became thinner.

Ning Shi, who had been numb for a long time, was still climbing up, ignoring the snowflakes falling in the sky. His toes were frozen off, and his cheeks were purple from the cold. But Ning Shi still didn't stop, like a man who was almost exhausted in the sea.

People are still struggling to swim to the beach in the distance.

Year after year, in the world of Ladder to Heaven, time passes quickly, and Ning Shi's body is also growing, with the coming of cold and summer, spring, summer, autumn and winter...

After crawling for countless years, Ning Shi could only think of upwards, upwards, and upwards.

At some point, a bird call came from the sky.

Ning Shi's memory seemed to be awakened. He looked down and saw that the wasteland below had long been transformed into a pasture filled with birds singing and flowers fragrant. The cattle and sheep were fat in the distance. The breeze blew and the grass waves rolled gently.

Looking closer, a few deer... or other animals, running happily from a distance, stopped by a small river and drank water.

When he looked into the distance again, the wasteland under the ladder had turned into a blue wave!

A powerful thought suddenly came to Ning Shi's mind, and he just let go! The wonderful feeling of immersing his body in the water arose spontaneously, surged forward, and was unstoppable.

While Ning Shi was thinking about it, he grabbed it with his hand and the illusion disappeared immediately.

The ladder was somewhat rotten, and the dark clouds were still overhead, but there was no rain or snow falling anymore, and only the occasional glint of light could be seen faintly between the clouds.

It's thunder.

The moment the word "thunder" appeared in Ning Shi's mind, a purple lightning bolt as thick as a bucket suddenly crashed down with a roar.

Rumble——

The huge thunder broke the ladder to heaven!

How should I climb up? Ning Shi looked at the clouds so close, despair began to spread...

This was the first time he stopped to think.

The ladder was gradually lowering, but Ning Shi still didn't move.

Suddenly, a look of ecstasy appeared on his face, as if he had understood something, he stretched out his hand and grabbed the void.

He actually just grabbed the air and climbed up...

"I know myself all my life! This is what I know myself all my life. Even the ladder is false. I just want to go up."

After taking this step, the world suddenly changed.

The ground is already as far away as vast smoke and dust, the sky is no longer blue, and the stars are shining beautifully in the pure void.

I have ascended to heaven! (First update, please recommend!)
