    "Put me down. I've almost recovered. Just sit here and rest for a while, and I'll be ready to leave." Seeing my confusion, Master didn't rush to answer my question, but asked me to let him down.  Listening to his words, I also know that he has slowly begun to recover. As long as he gets through the initial discomfort of the soul shock, he will recover very quickly.  I put Master down as I was told, and Master sat on the bluestone and began to rest. It seemed that he didn't want to answer my questions. I heard the sound of killing coming from the town below, and I felt anxious, wondering what happened to Master.  Calm down?  Finally, I asked Master: "Master, why don't you ask me to count the stairs in a hurry?" Master looked at me and asked, glanced at me, then took my arm and stood up, and motioned for me to follow him forward.  While saying: "Chengyi, I hope that the more impatient you are, the calmer you will be. At least you must learn not to let others see that you are impatient." "Yeah." I took a deep breath and nodded, thinking in my heart  After all, I know that Master will not harm me.  "Because the responsibilities you will have to shoulder in the future are not light, you should learn to be a little more "mind-minded". You have grown up with me since you were a child. I regret that I didn't let you beat you less. After all, the character I shaped when I was a child.  Compared with this complicated world, it is too simple. It is not bad to be simple. It is easy for Taoist disciples to be praised. But people are not as good as God. Who knows what they will be burdened with in this life? "Master seems a little bit.  Nagging, he rarely nagged like this in the past, but after getting together again this time, I found that he seemed to be nagging more often.  While he was talking, he stopped and pulled me to a stop.  I looked at the master, thinking he had something to express, but this time he said to me: "Chengyi, this bluestone road is the only way to the village where Qiangzi practices." "  Ah, isn't that the Hidden Village?" I meant to build a road specifically, isn't it too obvious?  "Haha, how can the real situation be so simple? Do you know the name of this staircase?" Master asked me back, but he also knew that I would definitely not be able to answer, so Master said directly: "It's still there.  There is another name for it, called the soul-breaking ladder. After a hundred steps, if you still want to walk up this ladder in the normal way, you will definitely not be able to climb it. Losing your life accidentally is a trivial matter. The worst result will be that your soul will be shattered. " "Ah.  ?" I looked at this ordinary bluestone staircase, and apart from the fact that it looked a bit vicissitudes of life due to years of wear and tear, I couldn't see anything out of the ordinary.  "Let's not talk about it for now. Now you listen to my command. Next, step directly across the two stairs and stick to the right side." The master said seriously.  And when he told me the nickname of this staircase before, he really scared me. How dare I be negligent? I moved to the far right of the staircase honestly, then straddled the two staircases in one step, and stepped up.  Everything was quiet and nothing happened, but my heart tightened inexplicably, and I couldn't help but wonder, what would be the consequences if I didn't take this step as Master said?  But at the same time, the effect of the secret technique began to gradually fade, and my body couldn't help but feel weak.  The master climbed up the stairs in the same way. It was almost time for him to discover my secret technique. He then directed to himself: "Next step, go directly to the first step of the stairs and step on the middle of the stairs." And the secret technique'  The sequelae come very quickly. Once it starts, it is like a flood that bursts and breaks the dam. There is no time to stop it. I could bear it at the beginning, but as soon as Master's words fell, I could no longer bear it.  I couldn't help it, and suddenly it was on Master's body, and the pain began to appear on my body, like the pain of countless ants burrowing inside my muscles. I immediately couldn't move, and even my vision and hearing became blurred.  .  "Chengyi?" Master noticed something was wrong with me, but immediately understood what was going on?  This time it was Master who carried me on his back without hesitation and whispered to me: "Chengyi, bear with me a little." In fact, besides bearing with it, what else can I do?  My face was pale, because my body felt so uncomfortable, and all the muscles in my body were spasming. I could only grit my teeth and try my best to prevent myself from completely losing control of my body and slipping off Master's back.  Or put all the weight on the master.  Ordinary people can feel this kind of thing. If you are carrying a conscious person, or because the stress points are different, you will not even feel the weight. If you are carrying an unconscious person, you will find that the weight is the same.  Man, he would be many times heavier.  “I just tried to lighten Master’s burden a little bit, but this time there were a lot of secret caves opened, and Master Chen wasn’t around this time, soSoon my whole consciousness was blurred, only a clear feeling of pain was left, and I didn't know anything anymore.  Time always passes very slowly in pain, and this kind of pain from body and soul can only be borne by oneself, not anyone can share it. In this kind of suffering, I don’t know how long time has passed.  When the pain subsided and I regained my consciousness, I felt like I was thrown on Master's back, and the bright sun in the sky shone into my eyes, making me unable to open them.  But I could clearly tell that it was afternoon. I felt like my whole body was covered with sweat. Almost all the clothes on my body were soaked and stuck to my body. It was steaming and Master was still climbing the soul-breaking ladder.  Judging from the body contact, he was also covered in sticky sweat, and his steps were a little heavy.  This situation made me want to get off Master's back and walk on my own, but just like the exhaustion I felt every time after using the secret technique and the sequelae, after feeling the pain so clearly and resisting the pain, I was exhausted from my soul to the limit.  , I didn’t wake up for two minutes, and I fell into a coma ————————————————————Dividing line——————————————  —————— When I woke up again, it was night.  The night wind in the mountains has blown away the heat of the day, making me feel much more comfortable. Apart from being a little tired all over, my condition has basically fully recovered.  The dancing firelight tells me that it is time to camp at night. Have we climbed the terrifying-sounding soul-breaking ladder?  I woke up, and Master was the first to notice. He didn't say much, he just silently handed over a glass of warm water with just the right temperature. My mouth was already dry, so I took it and drank the water in the glass in one breath.  After falling to the ground, Master took it again and poured me another cup from the mountaineering water bottle.  After drinking the water, Master handed me another bowl of cooked food. It was nothing more than paste with dried meat or the like inside. I always found it very unpalatable, but after a day of exhaustion and hard work, I actually felt like eating it.  Extraordinarily delicious.  All of this was done in silence, with a strange tacit understanding and naturalness. They depended on each other just like breathing, living and dying together. After a long time of trusting each other, any two people would become like this.  son.  Whether their relationship is between brothers, friends, family or husband and wife, it is not easy to cultivate this kind of relationship.  While I was eating, I was thinking about a question: Am I destined to never repay the friendship I owe Master in this life?  Or is it that in which life did he owe me?  Today I just carried him on my back up the bloody road, and on the way up the mountain he immediately carried me up the Soul-Destroying Staircase. Was this fate destined to be like this?  If you owe me, then you owe me. In fact, what people are most afraid of is not the love they owe to someone. If they are still thinking about the love I owe to someone, it must be the person who is not close enough to and recognizes the person who is closest to me.  What I'm afraid of is that they don't owe each other anything. If it's settled, what's the point of entanglement?  It looked like you were paying and leaving!  And because I owe Master, does that mean that I will meet him again in my next life?  This feeling makes me feel more at ease.  I finished eating this simple meal, and my hungry stomach felt much better. At this moment, all the problems during the day came to my mind one by one.  "Master, have we finished climbing the soul-breaking ladder?" I asked.  "See for yourself." Master pointed casually. Only then did I notice that the place where Master and I camped was on a small piece of flat grass. It was like a platform in the mountains deliberately built by someone, except that it looked natural.  A lot.  And isn’t the direction that Master’s hand is pointing to the Soul-Breaking Ladder?  It's just that we have reached the end here. What's special is that at the end, there is a wooden stand. A strange-shaped drum is fixed between the stands, and the drumsticks are hung on the wooden stand.  "If someone doesn't know how to walk on the soul-breaking ladder, if he tries to walk it by force, his soul will naturally die. But for those who know how to walk, it will be no different from an ordinary ladder." The master said.
