Chapter 19: The Getaway
The sunlight shone on the waterfall, and the brilliance reflected by the waterfall was projected into the stone room, and the stone room was full of light, Yang Ning's eyes had already moved away from the skeleton and stared at the stone wall in front of him. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
To Yang Ning's surprise, the stone wall in front of him was very smooth, there were no uneven rocks, and the entire stone wall was as smooth as a mirror, not only that, but also the other two stone walls.
The stone wall is smooth, and it is not very fresh, but on the three stone walls, there are many murals carved, which are miscellaneous but not messy, forming a group of murals.
The three-sided mural seems to demonstrate a dance, and the human figure is very simple from the waist up, and it is impossible to tell whether it is male or female, but from the leg down it is very finely depicted, and he roughly estimated that there are forty or fifty murals on the three walls, all of which are hand-carved.
Yang Ning glanced at the skeleton, and knew that if he didn't guess wrong, the carving on the stone wall should be carved by this person before his death.
But when this man arrived at this cave, he naturally knew how to leave, whether it was through that crack or jumping off the waterfall, it was easy to get out, but I don't know why he stayed here?
These murals are by no means depicted overnight, and this person even died in this stone chamber, I really don't know why.
Yang Ning didn't have any interest in dancing, returned to the stone table, and saw that the box had been covered with a thick layer of dust, and there were even thick spider webs on the edges, and he used his sleeves to brush off the dust on it, only to find that the box was made of brass, and the lid of the box was carved with patterns, resembling a lotus flower, and the overall color of the box was coppery, but the lotus seemed to be painted with black lacquer and turned into a black lotus.
The box was not locked, and after Yang Ning opened it, he found that there were pens, ink, paper, and inkstones stacked inside, and the thick pile of paper was already quite yellow.
"It seems that this man is still a man of letters." Yang Ning thought that there was some treasure in this box, and when he saw that it was just an ordinary pen, ink, paper, and inkstone, he couldn't help laughing, stroked out a clean place on the table, and then took out the things in the box one by one, except for two brushes, an inkstone, a few ink blocks, and a thick pile of yellowed paper, there was a short blade under the box.
Yang Ning picked up the short knife, the scabbard looked very simple, there were not many tricks, his hand was forceful, he pulled out the blade inside, the light flashed, it was very dazzling, and then a cold air was coming.
Yang Ning couldn't help but shudder.
This short knife looks like a dagger, but it is a small section longer than an ordinary dagger.
He stretched out a finger and stuck it to the blade, as if touching it on the ice, it was cold and piercing, and he couldn't help but say, "This thing is evil." ”
Of course, he had played with knives, but he had never felt such a cold blade.
"Could it be that the carving on the wall is carved by this knife?" Yang Ning couldn't help but think, but this blade is extremely bright, whether it is the blade or the blade, there is no flaw, take the short knife to the edge of the stone wall, find a blank space, the blade slashed, where it passed, there was a deep trace, sharp and matchless, and the short blade did not have the slightest damage.
"It's a treasure." Yang Ning was overjoyed, one of his hobbies was knives, and he especially preferred this kind of short blade, and he had collected a lot of daggers in his previous life.
Ordinary people can't see the advantages and disadvantages of knives, but connoisseurs know that there are many ways to do it.
Whether it is from the quality or its sharpness, Yang Ning can conclude that this short knife is really a one-in-a-million famous weapon, and if it is placed in the future generations, it will definitely be priceless.
Put the knife into the sheath, Yang Ning put it in his arms, then returned to the table and sat down, flipped through the pile of yellowed paper, half of the words were written, although the ancient text was not very clear, but Yang Ning could see that this person's writing pen was free and bold, quite imposing, most of them were poetry and songs.
Suddenly, I saw a piece of paper as if it was written a letter, and I recognized it carefully, and I barely recognized it: "I have doubts in my heart, but I have a half-life friendship, and it is difficult to break this situation, but I can only hide the world and stay at the beginning." After a while, it was written: "Punish all the differences, and break the pillars and beams." When there is no goodbye, but the strength is far apart, it is difficult to achieve it, but there is a free trip, and it is difficult to hurt me! ”
Yang Ning couldn't figure out what the second monk looked at, and he didn't know what it meant.
He put the pen, ink, paper and inkstone back into the copper box, took out the scroll from his arms, and spread it out on the stone table, thinking that Mu Shenjun would never forget this scroll, it seems that this Liuhe magic skill is really not simple.
He had memorized the first six of the eleven drawings, and when he was bored, he began to look at the seventh drawing, hoping that he could see some clues with his own wisdom.
Yang Ning had no intention of leaving immediately at this time.
He was very sure that Mu Shenjun would never give up for the sake of this picture, and it was likely that he would wander around for a generation, and if he went out at this time, once he met him, he would definitely die.
Mu Shenjun may not know that he is still alive, but he will never give up looking for the scroll so easily, and if he does not give up until the Yellow River, it is impossible to see him fall off the cliff and leave.
Yang Ning knows that the hope of catching up with the dart team and finding Fluttershy is getting slimmer and slimmer, but he is in danger, and he can only protect himself first.
If you break out rashly and really meet the Wood God, don't say rescue Fluttershy, your life will be reimbursed immediately, and only if you survive can you have a chance to continue to find Fluttershy and rescue her.
For the remaining five pictures, Yang Ning spent half a day to determine the acupuncture points where the red line passed, but after reading the eleven pictures, Yang Ning couldn't see where the god was, but the direction of the acupuncture points of each red line had been roughly remembered in his heart.
After noon, hungry, Yang Ning looked all over the stone room, but couldn't find any food, wondering how the skeleton had survived before? Could it be that this man starved to death in this stone chamber?
He could only drink the water of the waterfall first, and poured half of the water into his stomach, but fortunately, the water was sweet and refreshing, and temporarily relieved his hunger.
Walking in the stone room to spare a circle, one picture after a picture to look over, a circle, suddenly found that the first picture on the left wall and the last picture on the right wall is exactly the same, the first picture on the left seems to be the momentum, a dance carved down, the last picture back to the origin of the momentum.
Seeing the last depiction, Yang Ning found that there were several rows of words carved in the corner, and it seemed to be a poem that read, "Thousands of miles of sand and dust, the wind is now over the forest." In the universe, I am alone".
"Alone and free?" Yang Ning read a sentence lightly, and immediately thought of the inexplicable and wonderful passage on the yellow paper just now, and thought to himself, could it be that this portrayal has something to do with that passage?
Is this dance called a getaway?
There is really nothing else in this, Yang Ning couldn't help but stand up according to the action of the first picture, and then moved according to the action of the second picture, looked at seven or eight pictures, and found that the pace of this dance is very strange, it seems that each picture is very clear, but the connection between them is quite abnormal, for example, one of the steps to be converted into the next picture, it takes more than half a circle.
While looking at the depiction, he made movements, and the connection of the back movements became more and more awkward, some of them had to advance and retreat in a semi-arc forward or backward, some were obliquely to the left, or a half-rotation to the right.
Yang Ning barely walked step by step, but his movements were stiff, far from the elegant and free feeling on the picture, and he couldn't help but wonder if this set of portrayals cut corners and omitted many steps?
After walking more than ten steps according to the portrayal, Yang Ning was a little anxious, not because of his poor patience, but because every step seemed to be awkward, and even he felt that his movements were ugly, and he couldn't get out of that chic and elegant feeling at all, which made Yang Ning's confidence hit hard, so he gave up and didn't study, and lay down on the ground and fell asleep.
It's just that after lying down, my mind is not quiet, for a while it is the chaotic acupuncture points in the painting, and for a while I will think about the steps I have just taken, thinking about how to make myself walk as graceful as on the mural.
After lying down for a while, I got up and practiced my steps again, and after practicing for a while, I was a little depressed and stopped, but after a while, I couldn't help but continue to practice, this dance seemed to have magic, and although those steps were weird, they seemed to have a certain attraction, and people couldn't help but want to ponder and practice.
In fact, although there are nearly fifty pictures on this mural, in the final analysis, it is only forty or fifty steps, but the pace of these forty or fifty steps is weird, and a set of steps is awkward, which makes Yang Ning sweat all over his body.
In the next two days, Yang Ning repeatedly practiced the steps on the carving, and walked countless times from beginning to end, and the number of steps was already very familiar, but he couldn't get out of that elegant charm, but fortunately, the movements at the beginning of the comparison were stiff, and after two days, he was already very proficient.
At dusk on the third day, Yang Ning was so hungry that he couldn't stand it, these days he used the water of the waterfall to satisfy his hunger, but after all, it was not food to replenish his physical strength, physical strength was lacking, plus he practiced walking for several days, and his physical strength was overdrawn, at this time he was already dizzy from hunger, and he knew that if he continued to stay here, he was afraid that he would really starve to death here.
Thinking that it has been three days, no matter how patient Mu Shenjun is, he should leave, and it should be no big problem to go out at this time.
There are two ways out, one goes out along the crevasse and climbs the vines to the top of the cliff, and the other simply jumps directly from the waterfall.
At a height of more than ten meters, it is naturally very dangerous, Yang Ning knows that jumping at such a height is full of momentum, a miss, a fracture of the whole body or even a fall to death is possible.
But if you get out of the crack, you can only go back to the top of the cliff, where it is not safe after all.
Yang Ning probed and looked at the cliff wall below the cave entrance, it was quite steep, but he could climb the cliff wall first, even if he fell down, after all, there was a waterhole below, and there was always a chance to survive.
Just do it, Yang Ning didn't hesitate, climbed down from the entrance of the cave carefully, thinking that there was a sharp ice blade in his arms, he took it out and inserted it into the cliff, it was really like clay, and it was very easy to get in, Yang Ning moved down a little bit, and with the help of the blade, he also went down several meters.
When he pulled out the ice blade again, and was about to insert it into the cliff, his feet slipped, and the whole person had fallen down, Yang Ning hurriedly opened his hand, "plopped", his feet fell first, and the whole person immediately fell into the pool below.
The waterhole was extremely deep, Yang Ning eased up in the water, then pulled out his limbs, swam for a while, surfaced, saw the shore, swam over, climbed ashore, and his whole body was drenched.
Looking around, it turns out that this is already a valley, with plants and trees, and towering mountains on all sides.
I was hungry and panicked, and I just wanted to find some wild fruits to satisfy my hunger, and I saw a forest not far in front of me, and I walked quickly and entered the forest, and it was getting dark, and I searched for a while, but I really found a few fruit trees, and I didn't care about anything else, so I picked the fruit and sat under the tree to satisfy my hunger.
After eating six or seven fruits in a row, he relieved his hunger, got up, stretched his waist, and at this moment, he heard a noise around him, turned his head to look over, and saw a pair of eyes like blades staring at him, and a figure was a few steps away from him, like a beast that had found its prey.
This person is none other than Mu Shenjun!
