Chapter 112: Sacrifice Cliff
Qishan Chaoyang Cave.
It is said that it is Qishan Chaoyang Cave, there is also a hole, because at that time the cave master Tao Dingyi returned from the Jade Emperor sent Qiu Zhenren to learn art, he practiced in Qishan Chaoyang Cave, and later recruited people one after another, with the increase of the number of people, dozens of Taoist temples were built in the lawn field not far from the hole, and the name of the view was called Chaoyang Palace. The cave is still there, and it is the place where the old monster of Qishan often retreats and practices. It is said that it is called an old monster, but this monster really has to be said, that is, he often tests poisons by himself, in order to accurately perceive the nature of various poisons, as well as the control of drug dosage. Over time, the poison also soaked into the body, and the whole person was purple-red.
And said that on this day, the old monster had already taken a hexagram, so he said to the disciples, there have been many ominous things in our sect recently, and I told the disciples to be careful.
It turned out that except for the old four young people who practiced in Chaoyang Cave with their master, the other three lived in the county seat, and their main task was to raise funds for Chaoyang Cave. Over the years, the use of the cave has been provided by the three men, so he himself has not been very constrained to them.
Sure enough, after breakfast, the cave master was about to go to the good cave to practice, but someone stopped him and reported the three strange things. The old monster listened, shocked, it is said that the third child was killed, and he was planning to go to Qinzhou City for a walk, but he didn't expect that after burying the bear, the eldest wild boar and the second water wolf actually died on the same night, and died quite violently. So, the old monster led the doorman, each with a guy, to the place where the two monsters had an accident.
When the old monster arrived at the scene, he saw that the two people were scattered all over the place, and the dogs were grabbing food, and the smell was extremely fishy. The surrounding people are surrounded by water. When the people saw that it was the old monster, they booed, some scolded the old immortal, some scolded the old goods, and the old monster couldn't take care of this, and hurriedly called the disciples to drive away the evil dogs and collect the bones of the two people. He also sent people to the city to buy a coffin, and put the severed limbs and arms in the coffin, and carried them to the bear cemetery together, and it was also indispensable to put them back together. In order to prevent the graves of the three from being destroyed again, the old monster had to cremate the bones, so he had to be busy for a long time. After the cremation of the bones of the three people was completed, a local man took an invitation, and the old monster opened it and read it, and then led it towards Dongshan. It saves a lot of distance to pass through the city, but the old way requires the disciples to walk around the city. In this way, it was already dusk at the foot of the east mountain. The old man ignored the fatigue and led the doorman to the cliff.
Unlike usual, there are a lot of people near the cliff today, and everyone seems to be very anxious.
The old man stopped a man and asked him why there were so many people on this mountain, and when the man looked up and saw that it was him, he left without looking back. If this is the third one, then the old Taoist will send a lay disciple to investigate. After a while, the disciple came back to report, saying that there are many women who have come here to sacrifice themselves to die in the cliff, and the guest officials from Qinzhou have stopped many women from going, and there is currently a woman on the top of the cliff, and the people of Nabang are persuading and are ready to rescue.
The old man asked, "Why is there a sudden increase in the number of women looking for death today?" ”
The disciple said, "It's all related to the water wolf." ”
"Something to do with water wolves?" The old man almost dropped his jaw in shock. It turned out that the day when the water wolf was rampant, the women of the whole city dared not obey, but today the water wolf died, and those women who had been ruined could not bear the insults of their husbands or mothers-in-law, so some fierce women went to the cliff to jump off the cliff, you said how the cliff got its name, it turned out that because there were many women who could not bear the water wolf's spoilage, and jumped too much, it became the so-called "sacrifice cliff", which means that the women of Qishan would rather give up their lives than live. Not only that, but there are many women who would rather use knives and other things to scratch their faces than let the water wolves humiliate them. The old man knew that he was guilty, so he had the intention of retreating, but as soon as he turned around, a person, with a Qinzhou accent, stepped forward to stop him, saying that he wanted the old man to be calm for a while, and after a while, his master appeared.
The old man was helpless, so he stopped and sent his disciples to help save people.
I saw that the south side of the cliff was about 100 zhang high, and the north side was connected to the hillside, so you could go there on your own, and there was a prominent terrace in the middle, and there were already people on it at the moment. Look at the top of the cliff, there is a woman standing on the edge of the cliff at this moment, and about a zhang behind her, there is a group of people, who seem to be persuading her not to think about it, to think about her family, and think about her children. But the woman really didn't seem to want to live, and while pointing to the people behind her not to approach, she walked towards the edge of the cliff. The people behind had no choice but to stop. In the end, it seemed that the woman had made up her mind, and jumped down the cliff. Just when she was about to fall halfway and approached the terrace, she saw a person on the terrace and jumped too, and when she happened to make contact with the woman, she saw that the person stretched out his hand and took the woman in his arms, and the route of the two of them suddenly changed at the same time, not falling, but drawing an arc, quickly slashing towards the cliff wall below, as if there was a magnet there. The old man looked at it again, it turned out that the people on the terrace pulled with ropes, it turned out that the person who jumped vertically had a rope tied to his waist, and when the woman fell to the middle of the rope, he suddenly jumped out. Accurate grasp. Lao Dao is a person in the martial arts, knowing that in addition to accurate judgment, that person also has to bear the strength of several times his own weight, ordinary people, even if they can catch it, they don't have to say that they can hold it, who will have this miraculous skill, it must be a person with great skill.
Just as I was thinking about it, I saw that the two people were about to hit the wall, and suddenly saw that the man had already stretched out his legs and stepped on the cliff, and the two of them were like a nail, and they were fixed on the cliff in an instant. At this time, the people on the terrace worked together to pull the two men onto the terrace.
The people above and below the cliff immediately cheered.
