Joyful Zen

Liu Muqing's heart became heavy at some point, every time he took a step up, his heart became heavier, every time he took a step up, he felt as if he had lost something, and it was impossible to get it back The kind that comes.

In the blazing Buddha fire, two familiar faces appeared in front of him. These two faces were the faces he had dreamed of, and they were the faces he would never dare to forget. They were the faces he had traveled through. former parents.

The parents in the flames let out a shrill scream from time to time, but these screams pierced Liu Muqing's heart like sharp knives, scarring him all over.

Refining one's heart is really a severance of emotion, allowing monks to give up all kinds of entanglements in the secular world, and then concentrate on comprehending the Dao, because only in this way can they be in harmony with the Dao of Heaven and become a true immortal, but do immortals really have no desires?No one knows this.

A figure gradually appeared in front of Liu Muqing's eyes, he frowned slightly, secretly a little vigilant in his heart, when he took a step forward, he was already standing with this figure.

The surrounding environment changed suddenly, countless pictures appeared in front of his eyes, and began to erode him at an extremely fast speed.The Buddha's fire surged out, but those images couldn't stand the burning of the Buddha's fire, and quickly turned into ashes.

He slowly opened his eyes, looked to the side, but found that the other party was also watching him at the moment, he took a step back slightly, and then said to the other party: "Friend Daoist..."

"Are you afraid of me?"

A cold female voice sounded, and there was a slight hint of ridicule in the arc-long eyes. After staring at Liu Muqing for a while, she turned her head and walked up, but in an instant, she stepped out dozens of times in a row. steps.

Liu Muqing couldn't help feeling colder.The first impression this woman gave him was that he was very uncomfortable, like a poisonous snake ready to hunt at any time. Although it was calm and calm, it was very likely that it would show its fangs in the next second.

Moreover, the breath on this woman made him very uncomfortable, just like the relationship between yin and yang, water and fire, she seemed out of place. If he guessed correctly, the other party should be a magic monk, and a real The magic cultivator of the Jindan period.

"At the golden core stage, and she is still a demon cultivator. I don't know if it is the Raksha girl or the red candle girl. These two women can stand out among many demon monks. Their strength is absolutely extraordinary. This is probably a big enemy!" Liu Muqing secretly thought thought.

Liu Muqing's footsteps are not slow, and gradually nearly a million steps have been walked 99, leaving only the last 1 steps, and in the middle, he also saw many powerful monks, because he could not break through the illusion Attack, and finally fall down.

"Even if I have the Buddha's fire in my body, I must be careful. The last 1 steps can trap so many powerful monks. It is not easy to come to this illusion!"

Liu Muqing looked up and saw that there were many monks standing on the steps that could be seen in a word, their expressions were either joyful or sad, some of them broke through the illusion, and continued to move forward with cold sweat on their faces. Some are simply unable to break through, and can only fall off the cliff in the end.

Liu Muqing pondered for a moment, took a deep breath, and stepped up the steps. In an instant, the scenery in front of him changed drastically. There were scenes of gold and iron horses and murderous aura everywhere. Countless swords and guns collided together, and countless people fought together. The sound of roaring and killing was endless, and the murderous aura rising into the sky was like a river, flowing in the sky for miles around.

Dongnuan Pavilion, outside the mirror of Yuan Hao.

A middle-aged man in a yellow Taoist robe suddenly burst out laughing, pointed at Yuan Haojing and said, "Everyone, it seems that this time, this young disciple is going to win the first place in the million!"

This middle-aged man in a yellow robe is very burly, and he doesn't look like an ancient Taoist. Instead, he looks more like a bandit, with a big beard on his face, and a rebellious and domineering look in his eyes. is a heterogeneous.

After hearing what he said, everyone looked into the mirror of Yuan Hao, only to see a man wearing a yin and yang Taoist robe slowly ascending the one millionth step in the mirror of Yuan Hao. This person looked extremely young, but Its strength is already not much worse than that of everyone present.

"Muyang's water and fire... it turned out to be this freak... No wonder, no wonder..."

Seeing that the man was actually Mu Yang, everyone present couldn't help but feel relieved. After all, this man's cultivation level is the highest in this Four-Region Grand Competition. If he can reach the millionth step so quickly, then it proves his strength. The state of mind is also good. There is no doubt about the strength of a cultivator whose cultivation base and state of mind are perfect at the same time.Seeing this person, some people present couldn't help feeling a little worried.

"Shan Ming, your apprentice is good, but the next 900 million steps are not so easy to climb. Since the beginning of our Four Regions Grand Competition, no one has ever been able to step on it. I don't know if your disciple has the courage. Huh?" An evil old man sat in the back, holding a sapphire teacup in his hand, while drinking tea, he squinted at the middle-aged man just now.

Shanming turned his head to glance at the other party, turned his head in disdain, and said unhurriedly: "I don't know what the test after a million steps is? I'm not stupid enough to send my disciple to die, but you Yingxie , you can ask your disciples to try it, anyway, people in your Demon Sect are not afraid of death, and the successors and disciples are all like the leeks, once you cut a crop, there will be another crop!"

"you!!"

Yingxie couldn't help being anxious, the sapphire teacup turned into powder in an instant, he stared at Shanming coldly, and a powerful aura immediately rolled out of him.

Shan Ming's expression remained unchanged, his disdainful expression did not show any restraint, and he did not look at the other party, and said arrogantly: "What? You don't accept it, right? How about a fight in the Shura field?"

As soon as the words "Sura Field" came out, everyone around couldn't help but quiet down, and their gazes on the two became different.They all know that the Asura Field is a small dimensional space, and there is a weird arena in it called the Asura Field. Anyone who enters the arena needs to swear the heart demon and blood oath, and they can only step down after beheading the opponent. , is unable to descend to Shuratai for life.

Although Yingxie is arrogant, he also knows that he is not Shan Ming's opponent. Don't look at the price and looks like a bandit, but his strength is by no means simple. Although he is in an alchemy sect like Lingcao Valley, his combat power is comparable to The orthodox sect is even more powerful.

As they said, Muyang Shuihuo didn't challenge again, and disappeared on the steps after a flash of white light.

Liu Muqing stood on the steps blankly, countless figures flashed in front of his eyes, and he couldn't help being deeply involved in the countless pictures. At this moment, he was enjoying the fruits of victory with Senior Brother Du Jie, because he stepped on the At the top level, he won the No. 1 of the Four Domain Competition, and got a treasure that he didn't expect.

"So I heard, illusions are like smoke and clouds, beauty is like white bones, money is like sand, all beings are immeasurable, that is, there is no form..." Liu Muqing watched all this lightly, no matter what the people around him said, he just recited the Buddha's name in a low voice , the Buddha fire around him didn't show any signs of diminishing, but instead became more intense because of his chanting scriptures.

"Boom!"

The foreground in front of his eyes changed suddenly, as if he saw the bright moon when he opened the sky. He slowly opened his eyes and looked at the blue sky, but he felt an indescribable emotion.

He looked up and saw that hundreds of steps were full of people. These people included Buddhas, Taos, demons, and gods. He even recognized a few familiar people from the backs of these people. The eldest prince and the fourth prince, for example, the layman Mingshan who was dressed rather strangely.

Layman Mingshan is relatively close to the one millionth step, and there are only three steps left in front of him. As long as he steps on these three steps, he can leave this place like Mu Yang.

"Hahahaha... It's ridiculous to try to lie to you and me with such little tricks... It's ridiculous!" A burst of laughter suddenly came from above, but it was Ming Shan who couldn't help laughing happily after breaking through the illusion. It's just that his image is quite embarrassing, with a lot of tears and snot, it looks so funny.

It has to be said that this last step is much stronger than the previous ones, and its illusions are so layered that people can't tell which is real and which is an illusion, and some illusions are not even afraid of Liu Muqing's Buddha fire. Fortunately, he was in a stable state of mind and there was no more panic, so he still came to layman Mingshan steadily, even the eldest prince and fourth prince were left behind by him.

Liu Muqing turned his head and looked at this guy. At this moment, he was still indulging in an illusion, as if he was enduring unbearable pain. His brows were tightly frowned, and the veins on his tightly clenched fists were exposed, as if there was something unbearable. Repressed anger burned from the bottom of his heart.

"It's been a long time since I met you, but should I wait for you to wake up? Forget it, there are too many people talking now, and none of them are good birds. I don't know what will come out if I talk about it here." , I'd better see you later!" Thinking of this, Liu Muqing secretly made up his mind, and stepped out to the million steps.

"Tianwang Temple, to save desire, to condense alchemy peak, excellent!"

It was still the same voice, he said lightly, and then said: "Do you want to continue the challenge?"

Liu Muqing looked at the remaining steps covered by the mist, and couldn't help feeling a little relieved.It can be said that it is already very good for him to step into the millionth rank. Although he walked very smoothly on the road of refining his mind, all this is due to the fact that he has the Buddha fire in his body. It fell halfway.

"Since I still have the energy, I might as well continue. The etiquette official Du Hong said that there are 290 steps in total. Now I have only reached a million steps. It is a pity that there is still such a long distance to go." !"

Liu Muqing nodded towards the sky, and said: "Continue!"

"Boom~"

The cloud and mist hole opened, and countless steps appeared in front of his eyes, but even though Liu Muqing was prepared, he was still stunned by the scene in front of him.I saw countless statues standing on the endless steps. Some of these statues were dressed as monks and some were dressed as nuns. Some spirit beasts and monsters are nothing more than them. At a glance, they don't feel like stairs, but like they are in a statue hall.

"This...this is..."

Liu Muqing couldn't help showing a surprised expression, looking at the countless statues above in a daze, she couldn't help but feel a little bad in her heart.

"The avenue is slim, and the way of immortality is hard to find. We only have to overcome the thorns and thorns, kill the other way to achieve our way, occupy his body, attack his heart, destroy his god, and seize his treasure. Only then can we have a one-in-a-million chance. The immortal way is hard to find." , must not relax!"

At this moment, a faint voice resounded in the sky, as if an elder was admonishing Liu Muqing, warning him that there are countless tribulations in the path of immortality, and there are countless opponents, if he wants to achieve immortality, he must first break the path of others , only in this way can you have enough strength to achieve yourself.

"Ascetics are all selfish, this is indeed true!" Liu Muqing couldn't help sighing, shaking her head and stepping up.

Stepping on the steps, Liu Muqing couldn't help but look at the statue next to him, only to find that it was a golden mouse. There are also many people hunted and killed.

"Crack!" After a crisp sound, the statue of the Chinchilla suddenly shattered, and countless gravels fell off from it, but in an instant, a vivid Chinchilla appeared on his chest in front of you.

The Chinchilla spotted Liu Muqing as soon as it appeared, its small blood-red eyes were full of hatred, it squeaked and rushed towards Liu Muqing.

Liu Muqing couldn't help being startled, and hurriedly wanted to dodge, but found that no matter how he tried to dodge, it was useless. In desperation, he had no choice but to get lucky, hoping to use this to stop him.

However, a strange thing happened. The moment the Chinchilla came into contact with Liu Muqing, Liu Muqing was instantly pulled into a special space, on a small arena, opposite him was that Chinchilla.

"Asura Arena, only one person can survive on the ring!"

For a moment, Liu Muqing seemed to understand the magical effect of the Asura Terrace, he looked around in surprise, but felt something was wrong in his heart.

"Yueyue, Yueyue, hurry up and wake up, help me take a look!"

Under such circumstances, Liu Muqing could only turn to the eldest sister in the sea of ​​knowledge for help, hoping that she could guide her in the maze, after all, based on her knowledge, it should be very simple to break through this place.

During the eight years, Yaoyue saw Liu Muqing and Shuangxiu no less than a thousand times, and it was only later that she stopped peeping, saying: I want to recover, and then I never showed up again.

"Ah~"

A lazy voice resounded in Liu Muqing's mind. Although Liu Muqing hadn't entered it with his spiritual consciousness, he could still imagine that in his sea of ​​consciousness, there must be a beautiful picture of a beautiful woman waking up from sleep.

"Little monk, what are you howling, do you know that it is very dangerous to disturb my sleep?" Yaoyue's crisp voice sounded, although there was still a hint of sleepiness.

Liu Muqing smiled wryly, and hurriedly said: "Yueyue, do you know what Asura Terrace is?"

"Asura Terrace? How did you get here!"

Yaoyue obviously knew about this place, most of the lazy expression disappeared, and there was a trace of solemnity in his tone.

"This is... Chinchilla... Your opponent is it? Then don't be afraid, it will be overturned in three or two strokes, why do you call me?" Yaoyue said again.

Liu Muqing made a bitter face, and then said: "That's so simple, you listen to me first, I'm on the road to immortality now..."

Afterwards, Liu Muqing told Yaoyue about her current situation, and told all about the strange things on Dengxian Road.

After hearing this, Yaoyue couldn't help but fell silent, and said: "Don't worry, you kill this Chinchilla first, and I'll talk about it after I go out and have a look!"

Liu Muqing nodded, waved his hand and pinched a spell, a ball of flame formed in his hand, he threw the ball of flame and landed on the Chinchilla, and within a moment it was reduced to ashes.

The golden mouse is only a third-level monster, and it is only equivalent to a monk in the early stage of foundation establishment, but now that Liu Muqing has reached the peak of alchemy, killing it can be done with a wave of hands.

"By the way, what exactly is this Asura Terrace?" Liu Muqing asked casually.

Yaoyue said: "The Asura Arena is an ancient blood-asura refining arena. There are ninety-nine and 81 seats in total, each of which is the same. Its function is to allow disciples to fight in it. In the end, only one person can leave, which means that the two sides must decide the outcome, and they will never die. The Asura Terrace also has a function, that is, for those who are killed, half of their cultivation will be blessed by the other person. , It's very strange!"

After hearing this, Liu Muqing couldn't help being startled, thinking that there are millions of statues on the Immortal Road. Doesn't that mean that if you want to climb to the top of the mountain, you need to go through millions of battles, and it is a desperate battle to reach the top. This road to immortality is really not an ordinary danger!

The Chinchilla turned into dust in the flames, and then a ray of spiritual light rose from the corpse of the Chinchilla and fell on Liu Muqing's body quickly. Liu Muqing's heart moved, and he immediately felt that his mana had increased a little.

"If that's the case, this Asura Terrace is really evil!" Liu Muqing sighed secretly.

After killing Chinchilla, the surrounding scenery changed, and the ethereal road to immortality appeared before Liu Muqing's eyes again, and countless statue puppets still stood quietly on the steps, just like the Dharma Guardian King Kong, looking solemn And dangerous.

"So it is like this!" Yaoyue's voice sounded immediately.

Liu Muqing hurriedly asked: "What did you think of? What's going on with this road to immortality?"

Yaoyue didn't say much at the moment, just said: "This is a good thing for you, you can go up to challenge, but don't worry before you go up the steps, I said you go up, otherwise you will have Life-threatening!"

Liu Muqing was startled, opened his mouth to ask another question, but held back.He knew that Yaoyue wouldn't lie to him, and she was absolutely sure, otherwise she wouldn't have said so, since that's the case, it's better to continue.
