Of course, Qingyang also understands another truth, those who travel thousands of miles are half ninety, the more they reach the end, the more cautious they must be, and everything is not counted before they reach the end, and if they are not careful, they may lose all their efforts, not to mention that the last section of this ladder is the most difficult to walk.

In this penultimate cave, Qingyang rested for a full six hours, not only did his physical strength and true yuan fully recover, Qingyang even adjusted his state to the best, and then gritted his teeth and came to the edge of the cave, grabbing the iron chain on it and climbing up.

The suction at the bottom of the Fallen Ghost Abyss is getting bigger and bigger, Qingyang feels like he is climbing up with a mountain on his back, every step is extremely difficult, every inch of movement has to exert the strength to eat, and in a short distance of a hundred zhang, it took more than two hours, at least five or six breaks in the middle, and finally came to the edge of the last cave.

By this time, Qingyang was extremely tired, and he could hardly even do the simple action of loosening the chain and entering the cave, and he didn't know how much work it took for Qingyang to enter the cave, and then he collapsed on the ground, and he didn't recover for a long time.

I don't know how long it took, but I heard a voice in the cave say faintly: "Daoist friends are very good, just the cultivation of the fourth layer of Jindan can come here." ”

Qingyang was taken aback, he didn't expect that there were still people in this cave.

Qingyang was so tired just now that he couldn't lift his eyelids, and he didn't even bother to put his thoughts out to scan them, because he hadn't met anyone else before, so he didn't carefully observe the situation in the cave, so he didn't find that there were outsiders next to him.

If this person has bad intentions towards Qingyang, if the other party pushes him at a critical moment, or even just does something at the entrance of the cave, the consequences are really unimaginable, thinking of this, Qingyang couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat, and he quickly turned his head to look inside the cave.

It doesn't matter if you look at it, Qingyang suddenly discovered the difference between this cave and the caves below, the caves below are not big, one zhang in diameter, two zhang deep, at most a dozen people can crowd the entire cave, but this cave is much larger, not only a circle in diameter, but also at least a dozen zhang in depth. There is a stone niche in the innermost part of the cave, and there is a white-bearded old man, but this person has a very light breath, sitting quietly in the corner, lifeless, like a clay sculpture, if you don't look carefully, it's really not easy to notice.

Seeing Fang's appearance, he didn't seem to have any ill will towards himself, Qingyang couldn't help but say, "Fellow Daoist, forgive me, I just came up from below, and I didn't notice that Fellow Daoist was here." ”

The white-bearded old man said, "It's okay, I've been sitting here for a long time, and I've seen many monks passing by, and they all reacted the same way as you when they first saw me. ”

Listening to the other party's words, Qingyang couldn't help but be a little puzzled, this is the main road of the ladder, and there is only one hundred zhang left to reach the fallen ghost abyss, what is this person doing all the time sitting here? I heard him say that he has seen a lot of monks, and it is obvious that he has been here for a long time, so what kind of exercises do he want to practice?

Qingyang's physical strength had not fully recovered, and there was nothing wrong anyway, so he asked, "Why has Daoyou been sitting here?" I don't know which monks have you seen passing by? ”

The white-bearded old man sighed and said, "Like you, I also wanted to leave the Fallen Ghost Abyss, but I didn't succeed in climbing the ladder many times, and finally I simply stayed here. I can't remember exactly how many monks passed by here, but I remember that the last time was about ten years ago, two body refining monks climbed down from it, and I don't know if they were too timid, or if they were thieves, they suddenly saw me and slipped their hands, and both fell into the ghost abyss. ”

Aren't the two body refining cultivators ten years ago the Gu family brothers sent by Shi Fu Zhenjun to hunt down and kill him? I didn't expect them to have such an experience, but they are all body refining cultivators, even if they fall from here, the injuries will not be too serious, and they can be easily healed.

This person had seen the Gu family brothers enter the Fallen Ghost Abyss, which meant that he had been in this cave for at least ten years, but he didn't expect him to be able to live in this cave for so long alone. Qingyang asked again: "I wonder if anyone has successfully climbed the Fallen Ghost Abyss over the years?" ”

The white-bearded old man said: "How can it not be, there are two or three monks coming over this ladder almost every year, both from above to enter the Fallen Ghost Abyss, and from below to leave the Fallen Ghost Abyss, but generally it is easy to come down and difficult to go up, and there are almost no failures when they come down, and among the monks who go up, it is good to have two out of ten successes." ”

Thinking about it, the jade-faced bodhisattva specially arranged the formation under the ladder, if there were not so many monks using the ladder, what would she rely on to earn spirit stones? Two or three people every year, each of whom receives a few thousand spirit stones, is enough to maintain the operation of this side. Of course, two or three monks a year is also the limit, and there are only more than a thousand Jindan monks in the Fallen Ghost Yuan in total, and there are not so many people who want to leave.

"Fellow Daoist has been here for so long, why don't you want to find a way to go up?" Qingyang Road.

The white-bearded old man sighed and said, "It's not that I don't want to, but I'm timid, because there are too many failures, and now as soon as I walk to the edge of the cave, my legs will be weak, even if I can climb up the chain for twenty or thirty feet, I will retreat because of lack of confidence and feel that I am doomed to failure, and gradually I don't dare to try again." Later, I thought of other shortcuts, digging the cave diagonally upward, trying to dig an upward passage, but found that the deeper the cave was dug, the harder it became, and the road would not work, and finally I was trapped here without going up or down. ”

After listening to the white-bearded old man, Qingyang finally understood, this person already had a demon, and was frightened by this ladder, only by defeating the demon, it was possible to continue to go up, if he could not defeat the demon, he might be trapped in this cave for the rest of his life.

No wonder this person looks lifeless, it turns out that he has lost his fighting spirit, no different from a waste person, others can't help with this kind of thing, even if there is a master to help him smoothly bring him to the Fallen Ghost Abyss, it is unlikely that he will come out of the demons.

Cultivating immortals is actually like this, sometimes a casual little thing may become their inner demon, and become their lifelong fetter, at this time, it depends on whether the monk's state of mind can withstand the test of this inner demon. However, this incident also gave Qingyang a warning, at least it showed the difficulty of this last section of the ladder, otherwise the white-bearded old man would not be scared like this.

Seeing this situation, Qingyang couldn't say anything else, so he could only say: "Our monk's good time can't be wasted in this cave, I hope that Daoist friends can come out of the demons as soon as possible." ”
