Chapter 471: Cliff
That night, Ye Min's master and apprentice stayed at Mrs. Song's house, during which they naturally met Mrs. Song's son Yan Li, as he said, Yan Li was about twenty-five or six years old, strong and powerful, and his kung fu was really not weak.
Early the next morning, Ye Min's master and apprentice wanted to set off for Wanxia Mountain, and Yan Li persuaded him: "Ye Nuxia, the area around Wanxia Mountain is indeed very dangerous, no ordinary person dares to go there, even if it is a knight with high martial arts, it is not appropriate to go rashly, you have to think twice." ”
Ye Min said: "Thank you Brother Yan for your kindness, we know the danger of Wanxia Mountain, don't worry, we have made sufficient preparations, and it will be fine." ”
Yan Li knew that it was useless to say more, so he clasped his hands into fists and said, "Then Yan Li wishes the three women a smooth journey." ”
Ye Min, Hua Changyue, and Lu Fang returned the salute: "Thank you, farewell." He departed. The three of them went all the way, there was almost no road to be found in this deep mountain and old forest, and the three of them had to walk slowly on the thorny mountain road, and unconsciously at noon, the three of them went smoothly along the way, and did not encounter any fierce beast attacks.
However, a cliff with a depth of 100 meters appeared in front of them, but the three of them were in difficulty, Hua Changyue said: "Master, there is a cliff in front of you blocking the way, do we still want to move forward?"
Ye Min pondered for a moment and said: "Wanxia Mountain is at the bottom of the cliff, it can be said that the goal is in front of us, we have no reason to give up, but this cliff is difficult to pass for a while, we have to think of a way." ”
Lu Fang said: "It would be easy if there was a rope, but we didn't prepare in advance, so it was not easy to reach the bottom of the cliff with bare hands." ”
Ye Min said: "Don't worry, if you come, you will be safe, and you will always be able to find a way." We've traveled so far, we're going to be hungry, so it's better to eat something to fill our stomachs first. ”
Hua Changyue and Lu Fang said, "Yes, Master." As he spoke, the three of them took out dry food from their burdens and began to eat and drink.
Since the road ahead is difficult, the three of them had to stay on the mountain temporarily, fortunately, as a place where many warriors once came, there are also many caves near this mountain that can be used for people to live for a short time, whether these caves are natural or created by later generations is impossible to verify, but a short stay of a few days is still more than enough. Ye Min and his apprentices found a cave to live in temporarily, thinking that it was just an ordinary cave, but unexpectedly, there was a cave in it, not to mention the size of three or four rooms, and there were well-preserved wooden tables, wooden chairs, wooden beds and other furnishings, which seemed to be an ideal place to live.
This unexpected joy made the three of them excited, and it also strengthened the determination of the three of them to stay, Lu Fang smiled from ear to ear and said: "Mom, it's really unexpected, our luck is so good, there is such a cave here, I don't know which master made it." ”
Hua Changyue said: "It doesn't matter who made it, let's just live here, this cheap is not taken advantage of." ”
Although the cave looks good, but after all, no one has lived in it for a long time, and the dust in it is indispensable, so the three of them hurriedly took some local materials and took some branches and leaves to make a simple broom to clean up, and after a busy time, the cave was renewed, and the three of them lived happily.
In the following days, Ye Min's master and apprentice stayed in the cave, during which they searched for ropes to tie them to their bodies and came down the cliff, but they couldn't find a suitable rope after looking around, so they had no choice but to use vines instead. Fortunately, the vines in the nearby mountains are not difficult to find, and the tenacity of the vines is better than that of ordinary ropes.
After all, the cliff is nearly 100 meters high, Ye Min and his apprentices don't want to make any mistakes, they found a large number of tree vines, and weaved them into a rattan of more than 100 meters, after repeated experiments on its load-bearing capacity, the three masters and apprentices determined that this rattan was enough to bring them to the bottom of the cliff smoothly.
In order to catch up with this super long rattan, the master and apprentice didn't know how much effort it took to make it, and now that it was done, the three of them were overjoyed, Lu Fang took the heavy rattan in his hand and said: "Mom, it's considered to be the end of this thing, and there are a few calluses on my hands for it these days." ”
Hua Changyue on the side said: "It's just a few cocoons, it's not a big deal, you shouldn't even be able to endure this bit of bitterness, if that's the case, don't follow, I don't know how much bitterness I have to suffer on the way forward." ”
Lu Fang said: "Sister Yue, can you not underestimate me, who said that I can't endure hardships, I just complain a few words, Master, you will give you a comment." ”
Ye Min said: "Okay, if you like to complain, complain, you know that you have this problem when you are young, if you can really be willing to endure hardships as Chang Yue, your current strength will not be under her, and you will not be treated equally for the teacher, and there has never been favoritism." ”
Lu Fang pouted and said, "You also said that you didn't favor one over the other, you are clearly talking to Sister Yue." ”
Ye Min said: "You kid, you are telling the truth as a teacher, and you don't know whether you are good or bad." ”
Lu Fang said: "Okay, okay, don't talk about it, I know that the master is not biased, let's go quickly, with this rattan, we can go down to the bottom of the cliff." As he spoke, he picked up the rattan and walked briskly towards the cliff in the distance.
Ye Min and Hua Changyue beside him also followed, and in just a moment, the three of them dragged the rattan to the edge of the cliff. The three of them stood on the edge of the cliff to observe the situation, although the cliff was made of large rocks, but there were still many weeds and moss growing on it, and in one place there was a small tree growing surprisingly, the trunk of this tree was about a little larger than the mouth of a large bowl, and there should be no danger if one stood on it.
Ye Minxi said: "That tree is of some use to us, it happens to grow halfway up the cliff, we can rest on the halfway when we go down, so it will be much safer, without further ado, let's go quickly." ”
The three of them said they would do it, and the long vine with a length of more than 100 meters was thrown off the cliff with force, and it was visible to the naked eye that the long vine had reached the bottom, and Lu Fang volunteered: "Master, I'll go down first." ”
Ye Min bowed slightly: "Okay, pay attention to safety, don't be careless." ”
Lu Fang said: "Don't worry, this matter will not be difficult for me." Saying that, he grabbed the long vine and went down the cliff, the cliff is nearly 100 meters long, it is not easy to reach the bottom with only a long vine, ordinary people at this height even if they look down will be scared to the legs weak, let alone glide on the cliff, fortunately, Lu Fang is a martial artist who is brave, and he does not seem panicked when moving down on the cliff, and the coordination of his hands and feet is orderly, and he successfully reached the small tree halfway through with only one piece of effort.
Lu Fang stood on the trunk of the tree and rested for a while, seeing that she looked like she was on her chest, Ye Min and Hua Changyue on the cliff were also much relieved, Hua Changyue said: "Lu Fang, how is it, is there any problem?"
Lu Fang said: "No problem, it's easier than I imagined, I'll rest for a while, the rest of the distance should be easier." ”
Lu Fang stood on the trunk of the tree for a while, and then continued to go down the cliff, as she said, the remaining half of the distance seemed to be easy, and she made several ups and downs to reach the bottom safely. Lu Fang, who successfully reached the bottom, was extremely excited, and she shouted loudly: "Haha, Master, Sister Yue, I succeeded." ”
Seeing that Lu Fang successfully descended to the bottom of the cliff, Ye Min and Hua Changyue's confidence greatly increased, and Hua Changyue said, "Master, it's your turn next." ”
Ye Min said: "No, it's better for you to go first, as the last teacher." ”
Hua Changyue said: "It's okay." Saying that, he grabbed the long vine and went down the cliff, with Lu Fang's demonstration, Hua Changyue didn't take much effort to reach the bottom of the cliff. Both apprentices successfully broke through, and it was Ye Min's turn next, he also grabbed the long vine and went down, her strength was much higher than Lu Fang and Hua Changyue, it stands to reason that it is not difficult to pass the test smoothly, but the accident came quietly, she just went down about twenty meters, the upper end of the long vine was torn apart violently, and Ye Min, who had lost his protection, fell rapidly.
Seeing this scene, Lu Fang and Hua Changyue at the bottom of the cliff were so frightened that Hua Rong lost color and screamed loudly, and at the last moment, Ye Min quickly pulled out the short sword on his waist and stabbed into the stone wall of the cliff, after all, he was a first-class master, he had experienced countless dangers, and his adaptability at the critical moment was extraordinary, only to see sparks flashing on the stone wall, and the short sword and the stone wall collided violently, and finally in a softer position, the short sword was submerged in the stone wall, and at this time Ye Min had fallen more than ten meters.
Such a dangerous scene made Ye Min break out in a cold sweat, but fortunately, she stabilized her body temporarily, she calmed down, the small tree under her feet was just below, and the distance was only more than ten meters away, she planned to jump to the trunk of the small tree first, and the taste of her body hanging in the air was not pleasant.
Having made up his mind, Ye Min lifted it in one breath, pulled out the short sword that had not entered the stone wall, and his body fell quickly, falling on the trunk of the small tree impartially, and the sudden weight made the small tree shake violently, but fortunately, the trunk was full of toughness, and it returned to normal after a while.
Ye Min stood firmly on the tree, the crisis was temporarily lifted, and Lu Fang and Hua Changyue, who were nervous at the bottom of the cliff, also breathed a sigh of relief. Although there is no need to worry about his life for the time being, the small tree that Ye Min is standing on at this time is nearly fifty meters high from the bottom of the cliff, if he risks jumping down at such a height, even with Ye Min's strength, he is not sure, and he may have to fall half to death.
Now the three of them made a difficult mistake again, how to reach the bottom of the cliff safely, the broken long vine is still seventy or eighty meters, but now it is at the bottom of the cliff, and it can't be delivered to Ye Min for a while, the three of them opened their brains and meditated, and there was no good way to think about it, so the three of them were full of distress.
