Of course, Qingyang also understands another truth. The more you travel thousands of miles, the more cautious you should be at the end. If you don't count everything before you reach the end, you may lose all your previous achievements. Not to mention the last section of the ladder is the most difficult to walk.

In the penultimate cave, Qingyang rested for six hours. Not only did his physical strength and Zhenyuan recover completely, but Qingyang even adjusted his state to the best. Only then did Qingyang bite his teeth, come to the edge of the cave and climb up with the iron chain.

The suction at the bottom of the ghost pit became stronger and stronger. Qingyang felt that he was climbing up with a mountain on his back. Every step was extremely difficult. He had to use his strength to eat milk every inch. It took more than two hours to rest for at least five or six times in a short distance of 100 feet, and finally came to the edge of the last cave.

By this time, Qingyang was exhausted to the extreme. He could hardly even do the simple action of loosening the iron chain and entering the cave. I don't know how much time it took. Qingyang entered the cave and then collapsed on the ground. He didn't recover for a long time.

I don't know how long later, I heard a faint voice in the cave: "Taoist friends are very good. The cultivation on the fourth floor of Jindan can come here."

Qingyang was startled. He didn't think there were people in the cave.

Just now Qingyang was so tired that he couldn't lift his eyelids. He didn't even bother to scan his mind, because he hadn't met anyone else before, so he didn't observe the situation in the cave carefully, so that he didn't find anyone nearby.

If this person is unkind to Qingyang, if the other party pushes him at the critical moment, or even just makes some hands and feet at the entrance of the cave, the consequences are unimaginable. Thinking of these, Qingyang can't help sweating. He quickly turned his head and looked into the cave.

It doesn't matter. Qingyang immediately found the difference between this cave and those below. The caves below are not big. They are one Zhang in diameter and two Zhang in depth. At most more than a dozen people can fill the whole cave, but this cave is much larger. Not only the diameter is one circle larger, but also the depth is at least ten Zhang. There is a stone niche in the innermost part of the cave, and there is an old man with white beard sitting. However, his breath is very weak. He sits quietly in the corner, dead, just like clay sculpture. It's really hard to notice if he doesn't look carefully.

Seeing Fang's appearance, it seemed that he didn't mean any harm to himself. Qingyang couldn't help saying, "Taoist friends, forgive me. I just came up from below and didn't notice that Taoist friends are here."

The white bearded old man said, "it doesn't matter. I've been sitting here for a long time, and I've seen many monks passing by. When they first saw me, their reaction was similar to yours."

After listening to each other's words, Qingyang couldn't help wondering. This is the main road of the heaven ladder. Only the last hundred feet can reach the falling ghost abyss. What has this person been doing here? He said that he had seen many monks. Obviously, he has been here for a long time. Is it necessary to practice some martial arts?

Qingyang hasn't fully recovered his physical strength. Anyway, there's nothing wrong. He asked, "why do Taoist friends always sit here? I don't know which monks have passed by?"

The old man with white beard sighed and said: "Like you, I also want to leave the fallen ghost abyss, but I didn't succeed in climbing the ladder many times, and finally I just stayed here. I can't remember how many monks passed by here. I only remember that the last time, about ten years ago, two body refining monks climbed down from it. I don't know whether they were too timid or guilty of being a thief. Suddenly I saw me He slipped on his hand and fell into the ghost abyss. "

The two body refining friars ten years ago were sent by Shi Fuzhen Jun to hunt down their family brothers. I didn't expect that they had such an experience, but they were all body refining friars. Even if they fell from here, their injuries would not be too serious and they could be cured easily.

The man had seen Gu's brother enter the cave of falling ghosts, which showed that he had been in the cave for at least ten years. Unexpectedly, he could live in the cave for so long alone. Qingyang asked, "do you know if anyone has successfully climbed the cave of falling ghosts these years?"

The white bearded old man said, "how can it not be? Almost every year, two or three monks come to the ladder, including those who come down to enter the falling ghost abyss and those who come up from below to leave the falling ghost abyss. However, it is generally easy to come down and difficult to go up, and there is almost no failure. It is good that two out of ten monks can succeed."

Think about it. The jade faced Bodhisattva has specially arranged an array under the heaven ladder. If there are not so many monks using the heaven ladder, what does she rely on to earn spiritual stones? Two or three monks a year, and each receives thousands of spiritual stones, which is enough to maintain the operation here. Of course, two or three monks a year are also the limit. There are more than 1000 golden elixirs in total, and so many people don't want to leave.

"Taoist friends have been here for so long, why don't you find a way to go up?" Qingyang said.

The old man with white beard sighed and said: "It's not that I don't want to, but that I'm timid because I've failed so many times. Now as soon as I walk to the edge of the cave, my legs will be soft. Even if I can climb up twenty or thirty feet along the iron chain, I will retreat because of lack of confidence and feel doomed to failure. Gradually I don't dare to try again. Later, I thought of other shortcuts and dig the cave obliquely to dig it up An upward passage, but I found that the more the cave was dug, the harder it became. This road also didn't work. Finally, I was trapped here. "

After listening to the old man Bai Xu, Qingyang finally understood that he had a heart demon and was frightened by the ladder. Only by defeating the heart demon can he continue to go up. If he can't defeat the heart demon all the time, he may be trapped in this cave all his life.

No wonder this man looks like a dead man. He has lost his fighting spirit and is no different from a useless man. Others can't help him with this kind of heart devil. Even if there are experts to help him successfully bring him to the ghost pit, he is unlikely to come out of the heart devil.

In fact, this is the case with nuns. Sometimes a trivial matter may become their demons and fetters for a lifetime. At this time, it depends on whether the monk's state of mind can withstand the test of this demons. However, this incident also gave Qingyang a warning, at least indicating the difficulty of the last section of the ladder, otherwise the old man with white beard would not be scared like this.

Seeing this, Qingyang couldn't say anything else. He could only say, "our Friar's good time can't be wasted in this cave. I hope Taoist friends can get out of the demons as soon as possible."
