Chapter 44: Jedi Escape Red Eye Peak (2)

"Yes, it was a military station during the reign of King Taejong of Joseon. It was later abandoned. ”

"Brother Shi Lang, think about it, if it is a military station, built on this mountain peak, although it can be far-sighted, easy to defend and difficult to attack, but once the stone steps on the north side are blocked, I am afraid that the soldiers on this side can only wait for death." Ye Ruliu said thoughtfully.

"You mean...... There should be an escape route in this station. Shi Lang was inspired, and his eyes lit up.

"I don't think the builders are so stupid that they don't even leave a way out." Ye Ruliu said firmly.

"So where will this passage be built? Under the platform? Shi Lang used his brain and pondered.

"Brother Shi Lang, you see, the light from this red eye shines right on the two ancient pines on the opposite cliff, and it shines so neatly on the ground one by one. I always felt that there must be a lot of articles in this. Ye Ruliu pointed to the two ancient pines on the opposite cliff and said to Shi Lang.

"Could it be that this article is on two red eyes?" Shi Lang said, and couldn't help but look up at the two glowing hedrons on the rocks on the south side of the peak of Chiyan Peak.

"Let's call the conductor and the abbot of Hunneng over to study it together."

"Okay, you wait here for a while, I'll call them." Shi Lang turned and ran.

After a while, Luo Shiyin, Xiu Neng and Shi Lang rushed over.

"Commander, abbot, you see, those two rays of light on the two ancient pines on the opposite side seem to be giving us a hint of something." Ye Ruliu reported her thoughts to Luo Shiyin.

Luo Shiyin looked in the direction pointed by Ye Ruliu, and sure enough, he saw two sturdy ancient pines standing on the cliff opposite, and they were particularly conspicuous under the illumination of the two beams of light.

"That's right, "The Art of War" cloud: encircling the land is planning. It seems that this strategy to evacuate the besieged land here should be based on this pair of red eyes. Luo Shiyin looked at Ye Ruliu with approving eyes and said.

"Why don't I climb up and take a look?" Shi Lang volunteered.

"No problem, right?" This Red Eye Peak is extremely steep, Luo Shiyin was worried about Shi Lang, so he asked.

"No problem!"

"It's okay, call everyone over, and I'll pick you up at any time." Luo Shiyin patted Shi Lang on the shoulder to show his encouragement to his beloved general.

Soon, except for a few warrior monks who were left to guard the entrance to the platform, Hunnen called all the others over.

Shi Lang prepared his outfit and prepared to climb the peak.

"Be careful." Ye Ruliu helped Shi Lang tighten his strap.

"Don't worry, it'll be fine." Shi Lang comforted Ye Ruliu.

"Be careful!"

"Stay safe!"

The brothers in the squad told Shi Lang one after another.

"Don't worry, everyone, wait for my good news!" Shi Lang smiled and waved at everyone, turned around and climbed towards the top of the Red Eye Peak.

The cliff body on the south side of Chiyan Peak can be said to be straight up and down, without a little inclination angle. However, because the cliff crevices are covered with plants such as elms, pines and cypresses, and jujube trees, Shi Lang did not find it difficult to climb.

It took about ten minutes for Shi Lang to get close to the two red eyes, but at this moment, Shi Lang felt a huge black shadow in front of him snatch out of the stone crack above his head, and then two sharp claws grabbed his forehead.

Shi Lang instinctively shrank his head to avoid this fatal blow, and his body instantly lost its balance due to this sudden incident, and his body hung in the air.

Without the support of his feet, his hands that were holding at the cracks in the stones slipped out of the cracks in the stones, and his body fell down.

Ye Ruliu, who was looking up on the platform, screamed in fright.

A good Shi Lang, at the moment when his body fell, he quickly tightened his stomach and raised his breath, quickly grabbed a sour jujube tree on the cliff with his right hand, swung his body twice in the air, and his left hand slammed into a stone crack on the left side of the sour jujube tree, and then, he kicked the mountain rock with both feet to stabilize his body.

Shi Lang took two deep breaths and tried to relax himself, and then he saw that it was a white-bellied mountain eagle that attacked him.

The eagle circled in the air, and a swoop peck at Shi Lang. Shi Lang had to free his right hand and pulled out a short knife from his waist to defend himself.

The white-bellied mountain eagle failed to strike a blow, hovered again, and attacked again. It seems that there is a carved nest in the crack of the stone above Shi Lang.

Seeing that the white-bellied mountain eagle kept attacking him, Shi Lang had to stop climbing, grabbed the branch with his left hand, and slashed at the fierce eagle that kept flying with a knife in his right hand.

"Get out of the way!" Seeing that Shi Lang was in a predicament, Bao Wu on the platform quickly picked up a stone from the platform and asked everyone to flash aside.

Bau took a few steps back, found a suitable angle, raised his right hand hard, and the stone in his hand flew towards the white-bellied mountain eagle in the air with a "whoosh". At this time, the eagle's head was hit, and the white-bellied mountain eagle that was hit struggled in the air and fell heavily to the bottom of the cliff.

When Shi Lang saw that the murderous eagle had been killed, he put away his waist knife and stretched out his thumb to Bau on the platform to show his approval.

Shi Lang wiped the beads of sweat from his forehead and continued to climb.

The two eye-shaped luminaries embedded in the rock are actually two large horizontal oval crystals.

Shi Lang climbed to the stone eye on the right side first, and tapped the spar with his hand, and the stone made a "knock" sound, and it seemed that it was empty. Shi Lang gently pushed the spar inward again, and the spar did not move.

Shi Lang alternately climbed the lower edge of the hedron with both hands, allowing his body to move towards the stone eye on the left. Suddenly, the fingers of his right hand pressed down a round, bolt-like metal body on the edge of the stone near the middle of his eyes. The fingers press harder due to the weight of the body. The metal body was pressed down, only to hear a rumbling sound, and the hedron on the right moved into the rock on its right side, and behind the hedron was a dark hollow.

Shi Lang concocted the same method, and opened the spar of the stone eye on the left. Again, it's the black hole inside.

Shi Lang climbed onto the edge of the stone, sat on it with his legs apart, and then took out the fire sickle he was carrying from his rucksack and lit the velvet. Through the faint light of the fire, Shi Lang found that there was a small platform in the cave under the two stone eyes.

Shi Lang lightly jumped onto the platform, and walked about three or four steps in his left hand with the velvet in his hand, and on the north side of the platform was a stone staircase that went down. Shi Lang walked down the stone steps.

The stone steps extend downward in a spiral pattern. Judging from the narrow space above the stone steps, this should be an artificially excavated passage. Due to the long-term closure, there is a strong smell of dust in the passage.

After walking down for nearly half an hour, Shi Lang came to the lower end of the stone steps. On the wall facing the stone steps, a stone door clearly appears, and there is a circular hole in the stone body in the middle of the right side of the stone door. Shi Lang approached the velvet and looked inside, where he saw a rusty object like a wrench.

Shi Lang put his right hand into the hole, held the handle, and pulled it outward, but Shi Men did not react. He put the velvet on the ground and used all his hands to pull the rusty wrench, only to hear a "creaking" sound, and the stone door slowly opened outward.

A cool wind blew in violently, and the wind wrapped the dust that had accumulated on the door outside the stone gate for many years, making Shi Lang's face full of ash and mustard, and he couldn't help but be choked and coughed a few times. The velvet on the ground was also blown out.

Shi Lang walked out of the cave, and he was surprised to find that he had actually returned to the platform on the east side of the Red Eye Peak.

Luo Shiyin, Xiu Neng and others heard the movement here, and rushed over from the platform on the south side.

"Brother Shi Lang!" Ye Ruliu was the first to run forward.

"Oh, I said big sister, you see which fairy's hair is stuck on his head, he must have had a tryst with which fairy just now." Shi Tianji pointed to the spider silk on Shi Lang's head and deliberately teased Ye Ruliu.

"you." Shi Lang pushed Shi Tianji.

Ye Ruliu saw Luo Shiyin come forward and hurriedly flashed aside.

"How's that, okay?" Luo Shiyin asked Shi Lang.

"No problem, there's an upward passage here."

"Let's go inside!" Luo Shiyin waved his hand and led everyone to climb up to the platform at the top of the passage along the spiral passage in the stone gate.

"Your Excellency, you see, these two oval-shaped holes are the places where we see the glow from below, and there were originally two glowing hedron in it, but just now I accidentally touched the mechanism on the edge of the stone from the outside, and the two spars automatically moved into the rock." Shi Lang introduced what had just happened to Luo Shiyin.

By the light of the moon, it was discovered that there were also two bolt-like metal bodies on the lower edge of the two openings, and their positions were symmetrical with the two outside. It seems that the two hedrons can also be removed from the inside.

Luo Shiyin half-squatted on the platform and looked out, with a panoramic view of the cliff opposite. Two stout ancient pines are directly in front of the two stone eyes, but they are located a little lower than the stone eyes.

"Look, there are two coils of rope on the stone wall." Ye Ruliu pointed to the stone wall above the inside of the two stone eyes and said.

At this time, everyone realized that there were indeed two thick ropes hanging on the stone wall. Li Ruzhu walked over and took the two coils of rope off the wall and put them on the platform.

"This is the hemp silk oil rope that is commonly used in the army during the reign of King Li Xiang of Mingzong, and it is processed by a special process and is extremely tough." Li Ruzhu seemed to want everyone to confirm that his words were true, and deliberately pulled the oil silk hemp rope in his hand with both hands, and it was really very strong.

One end of the two coils of oil silk hemp rope is firmly tied to the stone wall, each plate has two hemp ropes, one thick and one thin, and two rusty steel rings are worn on the two twine ropes. At the other end of the two thicker hemp ropes, each has a steel claw slightly larger than the average flying tiger claw. The other end of the two thinner hemp ropes is tied to the front steel ring.

Luo Shiyin roughly estimated the distance from the stone eye to the two ancient pines on the opposite cliff and the length of the hemp rope, and the two plates of oil silk hemp rope were enough to connect to the ancient pine on the opposite side.

It seems that the two ropes were used by the soldiers stationed at this station to escape, and it was very cleverly designed, and the four steel rings on the hemp rope could help four people quickly escape along the ropes to the opposite cliff at once. Then, the follow-up survivors only need to pull the two strands of string in the stone eye to retract the steel ring and reuse it.

Luo Shiyin figured out the use of hemp rope, and was in a good mood, "It seems that we can fly over Chiyan Peak!" He said happily to everyone.
