Chapter 37: Adventures at the Bottom of the Cliff
Although I fell off a cliff, I was stopped by a hundred-year-old tree, but the branch was still crushed, but this greatly reduced the speed of my fall, and finally I fell into a cave. I fainted for three days.
For three days I did not eat a drop of water, and I felt that my mouth was full of hunger and thirst, and I got up from the ground. The cave was pitch black, and there was a faint sound of water flowing. I walked towards the place where the water flowed, and saw that it was a vine, and water was left from the vine, but I did not know if the water could be drunk. I couldn't care so much about it, so I immediately broke off a few leaves, used them as bowls, took a few bowls, and drank them.
The water was so sweet that it should be spring water. After a few sips, my spirits were greatly restored, and I remembered that I still had a few pieces of dry food and picked them up and ate them. After eating, I remembered that these were the last few pieces, and the place was deserted. Where do I go to find food?
The cave was very gloomy, and I didn't know what strange insects and poisonous snakes were, so I immediately tore off a rag, tied it to a gun, lit it with a match and used it as a torch, and walked into the cave.
Suddenly, I didn't know what I kicked under my feet, I used a torch to shine a light on it, and it turned out to be a dry bone, and I was taken aback and said, "I'm sorry, senior, I accidentally touched your body, don't be surprised." ”
I shook my head, and then I looked at the dry bones, which were rotten in clothes, and the skeleton was still visible in human form. When I saw this, my heart fluttered, and when I saw that there was nothing else terrible in the stone chamber, I took up a torch and looked at it carefully. There are more than a dozen flying knives in front of the skeleton, and there are hundreds of simple human figures carved with sharp weapons on the stone wall, each of which is different, raising hands and kicking feet, as if practicing martial arts. I looked at it one by one, and the dense layers were all figures, and I was puzzled, and I didn't know what the purpose of the carving here was. At the end of the figure, a few lines of words appeared on the stone wall, which were also carved with sharp weapons, and when I went over to take a look, I saw that the engraved was sixteen words: "Heavy treasure secret art, pay with fate, enter my door, and do not complain in case of trouble." Next to these sixteen characters, there was a hilt of a sword protruding from the stone wall, as if a sword had been inserted into the stone wall until the hilt of the sword.
Naturally, I would not covet him for any heavy treasure and secret arts, thinking that as long as I buried the bones of this senior, lit incense and candles and bowed before his spirit, I would be worthy of him.
Immediately, he dug a small hole in the ground with the blood cold knife he carried with him, inserted a torch, protected it with dirt, and turned to look at the skeleton. I thought: Looking at the martial arts on the stone wall, this person must have a great background, and I don't know why he ended up dying in the barren mountain, dying in this hidden cave, and the bones were buried without anyone. With compassion in his heart, he knelt down in front of the skeleton, kowtowed a few heads, and secretly wished: "I inadvertently saw the body in Xiaguan Hanquan, and I buried my predecessors today, please rest in peace!" "Pray for the party, a gust of cold wind blew into the hole, only to feel the cold pressing, can't help but feel creepy. I didn't dare to stay in the cave any longer, so I dug in the ground with my knife, thinking that the ground was full of hard rock, and if I couldn't dig it down, I would have to pick up the bones outside the cave and bury them.
I don't know that as soon as I dig down, the ground should be dug open, it is very soft, I am busy digging, digging for a while, suddenly there is a ding, and the blade touches an iron tool. When I moved closer to the torch, I saw that there was an iron plate underneath, and I dug a few times with a knife to remove the soil next to it, and it turned out to be a large iron box two feet square.
I took the tin box out and saw that it was about a foot high, but it seemed that there was nothing hidden in the box. When I opened the lid of the box, the box was surprisingly shallow, only one inch from the bottom, and I wondered in my heart, how could a box with a height of a foot be so shallow? There must be a sandwich in the material.
There is a bamboo slip in the box, and the bamboo slip has eight characters written on it: "Whoever gets my box, open this Cambodia." "There is also a roll of bamboo slips next to it, it doesn't seem to be connected to this, and the bamboo slips have long since changed color. Jane wrote: "The things in the box are destined to be gifted." But whoever has the box must bury my bones before opening the box, it is very important. The other bamboo slips have words written on them, one bamboo slip reads "The method of opening the box", and the other bamboo slip reads "The method of burying my bones". I lifted the box and shook it, and there was something in it, and I thought, "I pity you for the barren mountain, so you are buried, and I am not greedy for your things." So he looked at the "method of burying my bones", and saw that the bamboo slip read: "If you are sincere in burying my bones, please dig down three feet in the pit and bury me, so that I can live deep underground and not be harmed by insects and ants." ”
I thought to myself: I'm a good person to the end, so just do what you tell me. So he dug into the ground again, this time the soil was harder, and there were rocks from time to time, and the excavation was far more laborious. Although I have a good foundation in martial arts at this time, I am also tired and sweaty, and I can dig three feet, and suddenly there is a ding, and the hoe touches another thing, and the dirt is removed, and it is really an iron box, but this box is much smaller, only one foot square, and I secretly thought: "This strange man is really weird, I don't know what is in this box." When I opened the lid of the box, I was only shocked into a cold sweat. It turned out that a piece of bamboo slip in the box read: "Jun is a loyal and benevolent person, bury my bones, and be rewarded with a heavy treasure secret art." When the big iron box is opened, poisonous arrows are shot, and the maps of the Yuezhong book spectrum are all fake, and there is severe poison on them, so as to punish the greedy and evildoers. The real one is in this small iron box. I didn't dare to look at it more, so I put the two tin boxes aside, carried the bones of the strange man into the cave, covered them with earth, lit incense and candles, bowed a few times, took the little tin box, took a gun and a knife, and turned around and walked out.
When I came to the outside of the cave, I found that the cave was still dozens of meters from the ground, and I didn't find any food in the cave this time, so I had to go down to have a look. It took about half an hour to go down the vines and finally reach the bottom of the cliff.
I couldn't help but exclaim, what a world. I saw that the bottom of the cliff was very open, with trees, all kinds of fragrant flowers, and many animals and plants that could not be named, but more monkeys, and I felt as if I had come to Huaguo Mountain.
I walked over to a boulder and sat down, and opened the small iron box, which had no hidden weapons, but two mezzanines, and the upper layer was placed like a military book, and the bamboo slips were thinly cut and did not weigh much. On the lower level is a parchment scroll, which looks like a treasure map, with many place names, and I don't bother to look at it. A few lines of small print below the treasure map, as if they were engraved. I knew at a glance that it was a small seal, I roughly understood some small seals, and when I looked closely, two of the words were actually white!
In history, Bai Qi was given death by Qin Xianggong, how could he be here. What does this treasure map have to do with him, but there is no time to take care of it. The most important thing at the moment is to find water and food, and since you should not die, you must live.
