Chapter 685: Upper Sword Mountain
ps: Thank you for the tips from the Dragon of the Heart and the King of the Earth of the Emperor, as well as the occasional and carefree monthly pass support.
I set off at eight o'clock in the morning that day, and returned to Chujiazhai at six o'clock in the evening, walking a total of nine villages, and everyone was really tired. Therefore, many people rest at night and do not continue to go to the temple fair venue to make trouble, but there are also people who don't want to die, and they really don't want to waste a quarter of an hour!
The third day is the last day of the temple fair, and it is also the best and the essence, many people are looking forward to it, they all want to see the legendary Shangdao Mountain and the sea of fire.
Tang Liye and others gathered around the layout site, the tall trunk was in the middle, in addition to this tall trunk, there were some one-meter-long ones, all of which were placed aside.
"With these knives?" Tang Liye picked up a handle, tried the blade with his hand, and found that it was quite sharp, asking someone to stand on it, or hold it to climb, it was indeed a little shocking.
Zhou Furong picked up a piece of discarded wood and threw it next to Tang Liye: "Cut this wood and take a look." ”
Tang Liye slashed hard, and half of the entire knife instantly sank into the wooden block. This made the onlookers jump and secretly wondered, could they have taken the wrong knife? Look at the sharpness of this knife, it will kill people in minutes.
“oh! maygod! Jackton was also surprised. He has walked a lot of places, and he has seen many dangerous performances, such as tightrope walking, but dancing on a blade like this is still unheard of and unseen.
"Do you really want to use these knives to attach them to tree trunks? How many handles are there? Chen Wu also picked up a handle and found that it was so sharp.
Chu Jiaqiang replied with a smile: "Seventy or eighty here!" But it shouldn't run out. The trunk of a large tree is usually forty-nine, and these short pillars are laid horizontally on the ground to connect the vertical trunks. You don't need a lot of knives. ”
At this time, a knife sharpener came over with a whetstone, ready to sharpen the pile of knives. Everyone's scalp is tight, and the secret road is really not afraid of the dead? Do you still have to sharpen this knife?
Then, the four people brought a table of eight immortals and placed it in the middle. Seeing everyone's puzzled expressions, Chu Jiaqiang had no choice but to explain to them: "This tall tree trunk should be erected on the table of the Eight Immortals." ”
"How to set it up? Can it be erected? Even if it's up. Do people dare to go up? This time, the others were even more puzzled, why did the more they listened, the more mysterious they became?
A professional next to him spoke: "It's stable." After a while, you have to tie the top with three ropes, and then pull it in three directions, so that you can naturally stand it steadily. ”
As for whether a person dares to go up, it is not for him to answer. You have to ask those Taoist priests.
After sharpening the knife. It's installed on the trunk of a tree. When installing, you must pay attention to the fact that the knife must be stable and cannot be loosened, otherwise it is easy to cut the person who climbs the knife mountain. When it was done, the trunk was a little scary, covered in thorns.
"Okay, everybody, get out of the way, don't be within twenty meters." Chu Xianke said to everyone.
Now let's talk about this guy covered in thorns standing on the table of the Eight Immortals. If you accidentally fall down, if there is someone down there. That's miserable. Therefore, we must pay attention to this security issue, and all unrelated people must be evacuated.
"Flat, huh?" He glanced at the Eight Immortals Table, this table must also be flat, if it is tilted, the trunk will not stand steadily.
More than 10 or 20 men sweated to help erect the tree trunks covered with bayonets, and the tourists outside took pictures one after another. They didn't dare to joke with their lives, they didn't get close, and some even brought binoculars and watched from afar.
When the hour came, many Taoist priests and onlookers gathered around. The Taoist priest began to pretend to be a ghost again, and all kinds of spells and charms emerged one after another. An old Taoist priest held a "Heavenly Dao Seal" and printed it on the foot board of the Taoist priest who needed to climb Dao Mountain, and then cast a spell.
The young Taoist priest dressed in Taoist costume carried a cloth bag with a book of Taoism inside, and began to walk on the blade of the horizontal shop under the expectant gaze of everyone. Everyone sweated for it, and those who couldn't bear it even closed their eyes slightly, for fear of seeing the little Taoist's feet cut in half with a knife.
Then, something magical happened. It's obviously a sharp blade, why can't you even cut the skin of the flesh?
"That doesn't make sense!" A young tourist said dumbfounded.
At this time, the little Taoist priest had already climbed the knife mountain. I saw that he grabbed the blade above with both hands without any panic, stepped on the blade below, and climbed up step by step.
This has to be done carefully, if you are not careful, it will definitely end up dead. This time, even those who took pictures forgot to take pictures and stared nervously at the figure.
After a long time, the little Taoist priest finally climbed to the top. There is a crossbar at the top to sit on. After he sat down, he took out the book and began to read it aloud.
Next, another Taoist priest climbed up with an umbrella and a towel on his back, handed it over to the little Taoist priest, and cast spells on these items that had been baptized by Daoshan Mountain. After that, these items will be distributed to the villagers, hoping to bring blessings to the villagers.
"How can it be okay? How can this be explained? I can't figure it out! "A student at the School of Chinese Medicine Reconstruction is really confused.
In fact, behind the mystery and thrilling there are their own legends and "technical skills", as well as their natural laws and certain scientific principles. There is generally a strict implementation process and a unique "big environment".
"There's a lot of skill to that too." Hong Lao said with a smile. He had also seen this ancient stunt twice, and someone later revealed some information to him.
Seeing that the others were very curious, he also said a few words: "Have you noticed that when they step on it, they all step straight on the blade, and once they step on it, they will not move." Combined with your usual experience, when you cut something with a knife, is it easier to cut diagonally than vertically? When we cut things in our daily life, we often need to slide left and right to cut down, so that it is easier to cut? ”
When the others heard this, they all suddenly realized, and it sounded like this was the truth. Obviously, when cutting pork, if you press it vertically and don't slide back and forth, you may not be able to cut it.
"However, having said that, if you really practice, don't try it casually if you don't have experience, it's too dangerous, and you'll die if you're not careful." Hong Lao reminded.
He was afraid that these guys would be too curious, and they would also run to secretly experiment, which would be a big deal, so he finally knocked them to save accidents in the future.
"I've seen it in other places in western Guangdong, but it's a little different from here." A tourist said.
Old Man Zhou nodded: "This is indeed not a specialty here, it will also be circulated in other places, and it has been applied for as an intangible cultural heritage by our Guangdong Province." ”
