Master, he tore up the script

Oops, forgot about this.

Xiao Cheng was instantly happy, and stood beside Pei Ling very actively.

Pei Ling couldn't help but look at his unlucky apprentice again, and Xiao Cheng smirked at him.

Forget it, too stupid to see.

Pei Ling looked away and led him inside. The two of them walked through two steps and came to the door of a stone room. They could hear the movement inside from a long distance. When the door of the stone room closed, Pei Ling stepped forward. Kick it away, revealing the busy little old man inside.

The little old man with a snow-white beard dragged the floor, and his height only reached Pei Ling's waist. When he heard the movement, he shook suddenly, and ran to the other direction of the stone room without looking back.

How could Pei Ling let him run away, she stepped forward and grabbed his shoulder, dragging him back.

Several stop signs hit the wall, and Xiao Cheng helped close the door doglike.

The stone room instantly became a closed space, and the little old man couldn't avoid it. He finally looked at Pei Ling bitterly: "Pei...Master Pei, why are you here?"

Pei Ling said, "What are you running for?"

"I...I didn't run away." The little old man chuckled twice, and put down his packed luggage with a guilty conscience.

Pei Ling raised her eyebrows, not believing his nonsense.

The little old man rubbed his hands: "What do you want from me?"

Pei Ling glanced around and found that the traces of life were very thick. The little old man must have lived here for a while, so she said, "You live well under the Tianjie, why did you come to such a place?"

"Er... this..." The little old man suddenly got stuck, and after a long silence, he said: "You moved there, and built some kind of school, noisy, I can't sleep, little old man, just Moved out."

"Yunding Mountain is so big, and the school is at the foot of the mountain, can it disturb you who are next to the sky steps?" Pei Ling didn't believe his nonsense, frowning and looking at the little old man's flattering face, Pei Ling said: "I'll come I have something to ask you, you stood by the Heavenly Steps 500 years ago, but what happened the day the Heavenly Steps collapsed?"

According to folklore, when someone crossed the tribulation and ascended, the thunder tribulation triggered broke the heavenly steps.

But the heavenly ladder is used to ascend, and it has not been broken for tens of thousands of years, so why did that person break it.

The more Pei Ling thought about it, the more strange he felt, and the more he thought about it, the more he felt that this matter had a deep relationship with him.

He wanted to ask the dryad who lived next to the Heavenly Stairs, but when he got to Ascension to Immortal Terrace, he found that the dryad who lived there had long since disappeared. After searching for a long time, he found out that he had hid in Tianbei Mountain.

By accident, they followed Xiao Cheng and ran into this dryad.

It was only after seeing the dryad himself that he realized that the other party had escaped from him.

This is even more strange.

Pei Ling didn't give up without asking why, which made the old dryad very helpless.

Although he was old, he didn't have any skills, he only knew how to bask in the sun and sleep late, so that even Pei Ling, who was hundreds of years younger than him, couldn't beat him.

Now being blocked, he could only obey Pei Ling.

The old tree spirit sighed and said, "You really want to know? Some things may not be better after knowing the truth."

Pei Ling said: "You must know."

The old tree spirit had no choice but to look at Xiao Cheng who was next to him, and motioned to Pei Ling with his eyes, do you want the third person to know?

Pei Ling didn't want to implicate Xiao Cheng, but Xiao Cheng followed and looked at him expectantly.

He really couldn't figure out what unexpected move his precious apprentice would make. Instead of driving him out, Pei Ling thought about it and decided to let him stay.

It shouldn't be a shame.

"Tell me," Pei Ling said.

Hearing what he said, the old tree spirit sighed, bent down and took out a water mirror from under the stone table, pushed it with real power, and the picture slowly appeared on the water mirror.

Amidst the clouds and mist, a straight ladder leading to the sky appeared in front of the three of them.

What is reflected on the water mirror is the memory of the old tree spirit, and it is also the heavenly ladder that has not been broken 500 years ago.

After time and spiritual energy, one can feel the surging spiritual energy on the heavenly ladder, which is completely different from the current heavenly ladder where the spiritual energy is exhausted.

There are birds with full-winged wings of various colors flying by the sky steps, amidst the clear singing, there is a sense of peace.

The voice of the old tree spirit sounded: "This is the heavenly ladder back then. People only know that you need to go through the heavenly ladder to ascend, but few people know that every 500 years, a person will come down from the sky and come to the world to deal with the turbid air."

"An immortal from the Upper Immortal Realm?" Pei Ling asked with a frown.

"Yes." The old tree spirit waved his hand, and the picture on the water mirror changed, it was still the sky, but the quiet clouds and mist boiled up, the sky was gloomy, tilted down, and depressing thunder could be heard occasionally.

A person walked in slowly from a distance. He stood beside the sky steps and stared at it for a long time. Suddenly, the sky seemed to be enraged, and several arm-thick thunder volleyed down. The water mirror could not bear the pressure of thunder. Spots appeared.

The old tree spirit looked at the picture in the water mirror, and seemed to be a little emotional: "That is the most terrifying abnormal thunder calamity I have ever seen since I was born. That person is not a mortal cultivator, but a fairy who came down from the upper fairy world. He didn't know what mistake he made, but he angered Tiandao. Tiandao sent ninety-nine and 81 lightning calamities, which was about to make him lose his soul, but this man survived. After he left the heavenly ladder, a crack appeared in the heavenly ladder .”

The old tree spirit moved the picture in the water mirror, getting closer and closer to the sky steps. If you look carefully, you can see the cracks on the sky steps.

As time went by, the crack became longer and deeper, and finally one day, the [-]-level heavenly rank was overwhelmed, and it collapsed from the middle with a "bang".

Even the mountains on both sides of the steps collapsed.

The moment the sky steps in the water mirror collapsed, Pei Ling felt a pain in her waist, as if she felt the same pain, being torn in half!The vague speculation in my heart was completely implemented!

No wonder he always felt that his cultivation was sluggish today. After accumulating real strength to a certain level, there was no upward trend, and the more he practiced, the more he retreated.

It turned out to be because of this reason!

He tried to walk on the heavenly steps in his dreams, not because he had tried to cross the tribulation, but because he was the heavenly steps themselves!

But how could this be?The master clearly told him that he was just an ordinary orphan in the mortal world. Both of his parents died, and he was picked up by the master to be raised in the Lingxian Gate.

Does the master know his life experience?

After thinking about it, Pei Ling fell into a trance, and he came back to his senses only when Xiao Cheng called him next to him.

"Master, what's the matter with you?" Seeing from Xiao Cheng's perspective, Pei Ling's face turned pale in an instant, and he looked a little shaky.

He wanted to reach out to help, but Pei Ling stood up straight, stretched out a hand towards him, and made a gesture of rejection: "It's nothing."

Xiao Cheng couldn't help frowning. He also saw the process of the heavenly ladder breaking. It turned out that there was a crack in the heavenly ladder because someone crossed the thunder calamity beside the sky ladder.

But this is also strange, there are cracks on the sky steps, and it is not the cracks on the mountain, how could it collapse together with the mountain.

Besides, why did Pei Ling come to see this?

Xiao Cheng thought of some things in his previous life again, and always felt that things were not that simple.

After showing the whole story of the collapse of the heavenly ranks in front of Pei Ling, the old tree spirit asked tremblingly, "Can you let me go now? That's all I know."

Pei Ling said: "Who is that person who is crossing the sky steps, do you know?"

When this question was asked, the old dryad trembled all over, he waved his hands in panic and shook his head: "I, I don't know, don't ask me..."

Pei Ling frowned, there was something wrong with this reaction at first glance.

"Answer me honestly."

Seeing him pressuring, the old tree spirit turned around and ran away, but with Pei Ling suppressing him, how could he run away, before Pei Ling made a move, Xiao Cheng took the lead in suppressing him, saying: "Where are you going?! "

The old Dryad was caught by the back of his neck, crying sadly, and said: "Don't ask me, I dare not mention that person's name, I can only tell you that he lives in the ghosts and ghosts now, he is very powerful, I can't deal with it Big shot!"

Seeing that the old tree spirit was really scared, Pei Ling said to Xiao Cheng, "Let him go."

When the voice fell to the ground, he tore away the restrictions around him.

Seeing that Pei Ling was finally willing to let him go, the old dryad turned around and left, not even taking the luggage he had packed before.

Xiao Cheng kicked the burden out of boredom, and found a blinding fire coming out of it.

He bent down and opened the bundle, and found that it was filled with shiny yellow stones, and there seemed to be flames flowing inside the stones.

He picked it up and looked at it carefully. Before he could ask, Pei Ling said, "This is the Earth's Heart Fire."

"Ah?" Xiao Cheng was surprised, he weighed the stone in his palm, it was very light, different from ordinary stones.

Pei Ling said: "Looking at the weight, he should have collected all the fires in the center of the earth near the fire cave. You can take them back, it's not a waste of time."

It's a good thing Qi Zhuheng and the others didn't come over, otherwise, they would have been beaten up by the tree spirit for nothing, and they couldn't find what they wanted.

Xiao Cheng lowered his head and put away all these heart fires.

When collecting things, he suddenly raised his head and said, "Master, that tree spirit obviously knows the identity of the man who crossed the catastrophe, why don't you continue to ask?"

Pei Ling said: "You don't need to ask, I already know who that person is."

"Ah? Who is it?" Xiao Cheng squatted on the ground, grasping the heart fire with both hands, looking like a silly boy.

Pei Ling said: "The only ones who live in the ghosts of the nether world are the Mozun. Now the ghosts of the nether world are honored only by He Zhang and his master... Qu Nanling."

"En?" Xiao Cheng was a little surprised: "Who is Qu Nanling?"

It's fine if he hasn't heard of He Zhang, but why hasn't Qu Nanling heard of it?

Nether ghosts, that is obviously his territory, when did a group of ghosts and ghosts live there?

"A person you don't know." Pei Ling didn't intend to explain more to Xiao Cheng, he turned his head to look at Xiao Cheng who was still squatting on the ground, and said: "My matter is settled, now I should ask you , Did I tell you before retreating that if you want to go out to practice, you have to go to the cave to report to me, why did you run out by yourself without even saying hello?"

Xiao Cheng: "..."

Oops, forgot about this.
