There is a six-story tower in the backyard of Ni's family. When he came under the tower, Ni Jingtong glanced at Ouyang Ming and said: "The road to prove one's mind is extremely difficult, but it is the only way to ensure that one's mind is not lost after entering the forbidden area. . If you cannot pass the path of enlightenment, then even if you have the realm of unity between heaven and man, I will not allow you to enter the forbidden area."
Ouyang Ming nodded gently and said, "Yes, I understand, this junior."
Ni Jingtong moved slightly and walked into the tower gate, saying: "Everyone, go get ready. In an hour, you can enter the tower."
Ni Xue Shu nodded slightly to Ouyang Ming and said, "Young man, focus your mind and be careful." After that, he led several elders into the tower, while the other elders spread out in all directions, faintly surrounding the tower. .
Ouyang Ming silently counted, and there was a Jida ancestor who entered the tower, as well as five Yang-level experts. It can be seen that this so-called opening of the path to enlightenment is not simple. However, no matter what obstacles stand in his way, Ouyang Ming will never be afraid.
Taking a deep breath, Ouyang Ming slowly squatted down. This time, while squatting on horseback, he was not practicing Qi, but slowly adjusting his breathing so that his entire body could gradually enter a state that was close to perfection.
The Ni Yunhong brothers and sisters standing next to Ouyang Ming felt it most clearly. When they listened to Ouyang Ming's breathing, they had a very strange feeling, as if the whole world seemed to be affected by something between each breath. kind of fluctuation. No, it should be said that when Ouyang Ming breathed, he grasped a certain mysterious node, allowing him to merge with the entire world.
At this moment, the two brothers and sister suddenly came up with an extremely weird idea.
Could it be that this world also needs to breathe
For a full hour, a gleam of brilliance suddenly emerged from the gate of the tower.
This brilliance is not dazzling, but gives people a rather warm feeling. However, when they saw this brilliance, the faces of Ni Yunhong and Ni Yunhong became extremely solemn.
"Brother Ou, you can go in." Ni Yunhong said in a deep voice: "Be careful!"
Ouyang Ming opened his eyes, smiled slightly, and said, "Okay."
At this time, he had adjusted his condition to its peak. If he could not pass the test... No, he firmly believed that he would be able to pass smoothly.
Holding his head high and chest high, Ouyang Ming walked towards the door of the tower that shone with mysterious brilliance.
Just when he was about to step into it, Ni Yinghong suddenly said loudly: "Brother Ou, think about why you are here!"
Ouyang Ming paused, nodded gently, and said, "Thank you."
After saying that, his figure flashed and finally entered it.
Ni Yunhong turned his head and glanced at the girl, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes. Although he also fully hoped that Ouyang Ming could successfully go through the journey of proving his mind, some of the younger sister's behaviors were too obvious.
A flash of bright red flashed across Ni Yinghong's face, but his eyes never left the brilliance of the door.
"It's over..." Ni Yunhong murmured.
"What?"
"Ah, I mean, I hope he can finish quickly."
"Is it… "
"Of course..." Ni Yunhong nodded heavily, strengthened his tone, and said more firmly: "Absolutely!"
※※※※
When Ouyang Ming entered the tower, he immediately felt that the surrounding environment was subtly different.
This is an extremely keen feeling, and only someone like him, who has reached the realm of unity between man and nature, and is particularly sensitive to all internal and external feelings, can detect it.
However, he could only feel a hint of something strange at this time, but he had no way of knowing what the difference was.
After hesitating for a moment, Ouyang Ming continued to raise his legs and walk forward. His goal was the top of the tower, and the only way up was the winding staircase.
As Ouyang Ming continued to move forward, when he stepped on a step of the stairs, he finally understood how this place was different from the outside world.
gravity.
That's right, in this tower shrouded in magical light, there is an unusual gravity.
Of course, the closer to the entrance of the tower, the smaller the gravity, and it is even difficult to detect the difference. However, when he came to the stairs, he could clearly feel the existence of gravity. When you start climbing the stairs, the feeling of gravity increases as the steps go up.
One step, two steps, three steps...
Ouyang Ming slowed down. Since he knew that the gravity here was different from the outside world, he would not take it lightly.
In this unfamiliar environment, playing it safe and making steady progress is undoubtedly the first choice. If you are here and still want to rush to the top floor in one breath, it is definitely a sign of weakness.
In this way, he moved forward step by step, carrying the gradually increasing strength on his body, and slowly moved to the second floor.
Outside the tower, Ni Wangyang came to Ni Yunhong's brother and sister and said: "The road to enlightenment has been opened. Please follow me and step back."
Brother and sister Ni Yunhong looked at each other and backed away. Although they were worried about the situation in the tower, they understood that standing here would not help Ouyang Ming.
When they retreated a hundred meters away, they met Ni Xueming again.
The skinny old man smiled and said: "Yunhong, how many floors can this boy you brought here reach?"
Ni Yunhong pondered for a moment and said: "Brother Ou, whose scientific name is Grandpa, is determined and perseverant. He can at least walk through the fourth floor."
"Oh, Yun Hong has such a high opinion of him." Ni Xueming said slowly: "If you can walk through the fourth floor, you can already enter the forbidden area."
The corner of Ni Yinghong's mouth raised a beautiful arc and said: "Grandpa, under normal circumstances, Brother Ou should be able to walk through the fourth floor. But now..." She said with a smile: "I want to sell one Guanzi, maybe his final result will surprise us."
Ni Xueming was startled, not expecting that she had a higher opinion of Ouyang Ming.
With a dry laugh, he said: "Haha, little girl, you don't think he can climb to the sixth floor, do you?"
Ni Yinghong smiled and said: "What's wrong even if we climb to the sixth floor and walk through the entire path to enlightenment?"
The expressions of Ni Xueming and Ni Wangyang both changed. The former even said: "Yinghong, since the path to enlightenment has been opened, those under the extreme path who set foot on it can finally climb to the sixth level and pass the entire path. But there are only a handful of people who have proven their way of mind. And in the past three hundred years, apart from the three ancestors, there is no one else."
Among the three ancestors of the Ni family, only the third one has achieved such a feat. But at that time, the Third Ancestor was actually a strong Yang-level man. Therefore, even those who are optimistic about Ouyang Ming will never think that this boy can compete with the three ancestors.
However, when Ni Yinghong's beautiful eyes flickered, he thought of what happened that night when Ou Yangming fell to the ground without hesitation.
Although Ouyang Ming is an orphan, Ni Yinghong knows that he is a rich, simple and kind boy with strong self-esteem.
It is no longer a secret that he helped Dongying Sergeant win the night fight. The competition with Ni Yunhong's blacksmithing skills vividly demonstrated his tenacity and stubbornness.
Such people attach great importance to their own appearance.
However, for the sake of the old craftsman, he was able to sacrifice all his face and give up all his dignity. It can be said that in Ouyang Ming's eyes, she once saw a dark and cold light called unscrupulous means.
Ni Yinghong is undoubtedly looking forward to what step Ouyang Ming can take, who has given up all dignity and put aside all worries for the sake of the old craftsman.
She raised her head, looked at the flashing light at the tower gate, and secretly shouted in her heart.
Let's go, show your strength and let them see how far you can go.
And at this moment, the color of the light at the door suddenly changed wonderfully.
"It's the second level." Ni Xueming murmured: "His speed is very slow..."
"Slow work will lead to fine work." Ni Wangyang laughed and said: "That boy just treated me like a monkey, haha, I believe he won't be too bad."
Sure enough, after a while, the light on the door changed again, and the color seemed to become richer again.
The people surrounding the tower were talking secretly, but their words could not be separated from the man who was walking in the tower. Finally, the light changed again.
By this moment, both Ni Xueming and Ni Yunhong had lost interest in talking.
Everyone was silently paying attention to the tower gate, because everyone knew that as long as Ouyang Ming could climb to the fourth floor, it would mean that he had the qualifications to enter the forbidden area.
However, the outstanding children of the family who have entered the tower before, let alone those who can climb to the sixth floor and complete all the journeys, even those who can climb to the fourth floor are already very few. As for those family members who reached the fourth level, except for those who died due to various reasons halfway, the rest of the living people basically became family elders.
Therefore, they deeply understand how difficult it is to climb to the fourth floor.
Ni Xueming suddenly said: "He has finally reached the third level, he should have experienced it."
"What?" Ni Yinghong asked in surprise.
Ni Xueming smiled and said: "Although you two are both rising stars in the family and will become great talents in the future, you have never walked the path of enlightenment." He nodded towards Ni Wangyang and said: "You say it. "
Ni Wangyang hesitated for a moment and said, "Do you still remember those people who tried to walk the path of enlightenment?"
"Of course I remember, they are all outstanding sons of the family."
"Yes, if you are not outstanding enough, you are not qualified to take this path." Ni Wangyang sighed and said, "Then do you still remember their cultivation?"
Ni Yunhong's expression changed slightly and he said: "They are all at the peak of Yin level or Yang level cultivation."
Ni Xueming laughed strangely and said: "Exactly. If Ouyang Ming has the third level of Yin grade cultivation, I am also optimistic that he can ascend to the fourth level, but now... haha."
Ni Yunhong and his sister exchanged glances with heavy hearts, especially Ni Yinghong's delicate hands that had already been tightened. Although she verbally expressed unlimited support to Ouyang Ming. However, when it comes to caring, no one can compare with her.
She bit her shell teeth lightly and said, "Why didn't you tell me, ancestor?"
Ni Xueming said quietly: "Old Ancestor naturally has his own considerations. This is not something I can know."
Everyone was silent, but in just an instant, the color of the light door suddenly changed, and a new change occurred.
