We continued along the mountain trail, and after about four or five miles, we came to the top of the canyon.

I used to stand outside the mountain and only see a foggy patch, but now standing on the top of the canyon, I realized that the height here is really as shown on the map, hundreds of meters high.

The clouds above the canyon were so misty that I couldn't see the bottom of the canyon as it really was, and I could only judge the height we were at by the tree tops and black-brown stones that were faintly peeking out of the bottom.

But as I walked, I muttered in my heart, this mountain road is still going to money after entering the canyon, and there is no intention of going down the mountain, could it be that this mountain road is just passing through here?

Just when I was puzzled, the second baby who was in front of me suddenly shouted:

"Ah, Brother Zimu, there's no way!"

When I heard this, I hurriedly stepped forward, and I saw that the mountain road stopped abruptly at the feet of the second baby, although there were still some miscanthus grass in front of me, and I could continue to open the road with a mountain knife, but the mountain road under my feet was gone.

I can't help but wonder, just this way, I didn't find a fork in the mountain road, let alone find out where the mountain road came down from the mountain, so why did this mountain road come here? Hunting and collecting medicine? But who would build such a good road by hunting and collecting medicine?

At this moment, Qiu Yan, who was chopping around in the grass beside him with a mountain opening knife, suddenly shouted:

"He Zimu, come over and take a look, is this the way down the mountain?"

When I looked over, I found that under a bush that Qiu Yan had cut down, there were several stone steps that extended down the mountain, and those stone steps were only as wide as the palm of a hand, and some were even narrower, so that they could not stand at all, and after these stone steps extended down for a distance, they were invisible.

"This step is too steep, there is no way to go down, it should not be the way down the mountain." I replied.

"But this is obviously hand-chiseled, and it happens to be at the end of this road, don't you think it's a coincidence?" Qiu Yan didn't seem to be reconciled.

"Whether it's a coincidence or not, if they can't go down, it doesn't mean we can't go down!" I patted the rope around my neck and said.

With that, I untied the rope and found a big tree on the side of the road, and I planned to attach the rope to this tree and go down to see it first.

Who knew that when I looked at the grass beside the tree, I saw several strangulation marks on the trunk of this tree, and it was obvious that they were strangled after a long period of binding.

I hurriedly called Qiu Yan, and when Qiu Yan saw it, she smiled and said:

"The ancients are not stupid, what we can think of, of course they can also think of, He Zimu, I will say that this is the way down the mountain!"

Speechless, I smiled and began to fix the climbing rope.

The ropes we brought were 50 meters each, and we bought a bundle for each of the people who came this time, and before entering the mountain, I brought them all with me, considering the mountain situation here.

I first attached fifteen bundles of ropes together, and I brought two bundles with me just in case, and when I was ready, I rolled over and jumped off the cliff, and I shook the rope a few times, and soon stabilized myself.

"Comrades, wait for the news of my victory!" I made a joke at the crowd and let go of my hand to slide down.

Qiu Yan grabbed my hand at this time, smiled at me, and said:

"Be careful!"

My heart warmed, nodded at Qiu Yan, and quickly slid down.

As I slid down, I saw that the stone steps were still extending down after going around the protruding mountain, and it turned out that the stone steps had extended all the way to the bottom of the canyon, but we had been blocked from view before.

I watched the stone steps stretch over the almost straight mountain, and I couldn't help but sigh at the ancient people who carved out these stone steps in the first place.

Fortunately, today's mountaineering equipment is hundreds or thousands of times stronger than it was back then, and I can easily control the speed of my descent without the help of those stone steps, so in less than ten minutes, I can already see the bottom of the canyon.

Now it seems that my previous fears were unnecessary, and there was still one more of the fifteen climbing ropes that fell at the bottom of the canyon, and the two I had brought with me were no longer necessary.

When my feet hit the ground, I first pulled the rope hard, and then shouted loudly up the mountain:

"I've landed, you guys come down one by one!"

My shouts immediately reverberated through the canyon and startled myself.

Before the echo disappeared, I heard Qiu Yan's response from above:

"Got it, I'll come down first!"

While waiting for them to come down, I took a look at the situation of the canyon, the canyon is less than five meters wide, there is no end in sight at both ends, the canyon ground is dominated by mud, and there are some large and small pebbles buried in the mud.

At this moment, I saw a figure slowly falling from the white line, it was Qiu Yan, she wore a ponytail and a red quick-drying suit, descending from the sky like a fairy.

I stood under Qiu Yan and stretched out my hands, worried that she would suddenly fall.

But Qiu Yan's speed was very good, she descended little by little unhurriedly, and finally landed firmly on the ground, and she saw me stretch out my hands, untie the safety rope, and handed it to me.

I awkwardly took the safety rope and put it aside, and Qiu Yan, like me, began to look around as soon as she landed.

The third one who came down was Erwa, and when he landed, I asked him which side he was on when he saw the hell, and Erwa pointed behind us and said:

"It's the river bay over there!"

After that, the people above slipped down one by one, and I saw that Qiu Yan couldn't wait, so I ordered the people who came down to wait in place, and after everyone came down, they packed up their things and walked back.

Qiu Yan and Erwa and I walked back about a kilometer, and we saw the exit of the canyon slowly appeared in front of us, and the place where we went down the mountain was different, there were large stones on both sides of the canyon exit, and we saw traces of manual excavation on many boulders, as if this was a stone factory before, and there were many people who had taken stones here.

When we walked out of the canyon, more and more stones were dug by hand, and even on the open flat ground in front of the canyon, there were some square stones.

As I walked over the stones, I saw a mud puddle two or three hundred meters further on the flat ground, which turned out to be the boundary between the mud puddle and the canyon that I had seen from the mountain.

"Brother Zimu, you see, I and I came from there before." Erwa ran over and pulled me and said.

I followed Erwa's fingers and saw that on the mountain on my right, that is, on the left bank of the river, there was a relatively low hillside, and on both sides of the hillside were steeply raised canyons and slowly rising river mountains, on this hillside, you could see a road two or three meters wide hidden under the grass.

"It is estimated that the carriage road was built by the quarrymen in the past." I said to Qiu Yan.

"It's this road, stick to this mountain and go down, and it doesn't take two or three miles to turn in the direction of Baojing County!" Erwa explained.

I asked Erwa how far they walked along this Taishui ditch to find this road, Erwa thought about it, and said that it was probably dozens of miles, and he said that he and he had walked for most of the day to walk on this carriage road.

After listening to it, I silently thought about it in my heart, when Old Man Peng and Erwa decided to go up the mountain to catch wild boars, they definitely didn't follow the road, so they said they were walking, and if they didn't do it, they just walked in the grass in the mountains.

Suddenly, I thought of something, so I quickly took a sneak look at my watch, but when I looked at it, I found that my electronic watch really didn't show up.

I quietly took out the compass again, only to find that the compass was spinning wildly.

I pressed my nervousness and looked at Qiu Yan, only to see that she was holding a binocular, looking around like no one else.

I don't know if I should tell Qiu Yan what I found, the watch and the compass are invalid here, I guess the satellite phone that Qiu Yan brought is not much better, if there is any situation, Qiu Yan will notify Xiang Wei or ask for help again, once the phone can't get through, she will not have to die in a hurry!

But what's the use of telling her? She can't change the situation, and we have a lot to do next, so wouldn't it be in vain to tell her!

After some ideological struggle, I decided not to say anything, Qiu Yan is not a fool, she also has a watch and a compass, let her find out for herself.

At this time, there was a bustling sound of talking from the mouth of the canyon, and when I looked back, everyone else had arrived, so we hurried back.

From the morning to the present, we have been on the road non-stop for most of the day, during which we have not eaten anything except for drinking some water and eating some chocolate to replenish our strength.

The exit of the canyon was very flat, and there were flat stones everywhere, Qiu Yan instructed everyone to set up camp first, and then eat and drink enough to rest before making the next plan.

Because we were ready to camp for several days before coming, so this time we brought enough food, bedding and other daily necessities, birds and warblers on both sides of the canyon, the air in the canyon was fresh, and the big guys opened the posture, and they began to camp with laughter.

During the period when everyone was eating around the bonfire, I asked Erwa again about the ghost when she saw the ghost at the beginning, and the story Erwa told was the same as last time, only that she saw a few white figures.

Qiu Yan and I paid more attention to this story because we had done some research in advance, but the others were different, after listening to the story of the second baby, they laughed and said that the second baby was too timid, and it must have been dazzling at night and regarded the fog as a figure.

Erwa crossed her hands on her hips, and fought with this group of people with red eyes and thick necks, and I saw that Erwa was so aggrieved that tears were about to fall, so I interrupted their conversation.

"Erwa, didn't you say that those figures disappeared as soon as they hit the mountain, tell me, where did they hit it?" I asked.

Erwa got up and looked behind me, pointed to a stone wall and said:

"Well, there it is!"

I put down the lunch box in my hand and walked towards the stone wall, only to see that the stone wall was smooth and flat, like a large gate standing on the left side of the canyon, the stone wall and the stones on both sides were broken, and I couldn't tell for a moment whether it was naturally formed or artificially erected.
