Chapter 122: The Path Behind the Waterfall (Part I)
On the outward extension of the rock, Zhou Xian pulled the rope and began to move back little by little, each step was not big, but as steady as possible, and at the same time kept telling himself: Don't look back, don't look down.
The water that hit the rock raised a high mist, which made Zhou Xian involuntarily hold his breath. Fortunately, the direction of descent is far away from the impact of the current, and the rock retains sharp edges and corners, providing ample friction for his walking.
One step, two steps, after adapting to it, Zhou Xian walked faster and faster, and even dared to try to jump in some places that were not easy to move. However, with his bare hands holding the rope, he did not dare to try downhill. After all, with this weight plus gravitational acceleration, that friction may ruin his palm.
He soon reached the farthest edge of the rock's extension. The feet are already in a state of mid-emptiness, and if you continue below, there is an abyss. A huge waterfall is cut here and cascades down the sides of the rocks.
Zhou Xian took a deep breath, wrapped the rope he was holding around his waist, and then tried to tilt his head back to check the situation under the rock. This is not the only rock that divides the waterfall, otherwise it would not have raised so much mist. He saw that the rock wall about ten meters below the rock he was on seemed to have a sunken texture, forming a natural plank road.
"Is Lu Wuna an uncertain prophet?" Zhou Xian raised his eyebrows and smiled bitterly, "If you hadn't walked through this kind of cliff from Liuzhong Mountain, who would dare to go here?" ”
Although they don't know what will lead to this natural plank road and where it will end, it seems that this is the only place they can go. It's better to take a gamble than jump straight off a waterfall, right?
Why didn't you think about getting a few parachutes in the first place?
After making up his mind, Zhou Xian didn't bother to remove the rope around his waist anymore, and directly grabbed the two ropes and walked back, but as soon as he came up from behind the stone, he saw Ji Xiaoran sitting there with a dull gaze, and no one had yet crawled out of the sleeping bag.
"What's wrong?" Zhou Xian lowered his body and pulled out the scarlet blade, and wrapped the untied rope around his arm into a bundle as he walked towards the girl.
"I should have been asleep last night." Ji Xiaoran looked at Zhou Xian a little confused, "I dreamed that my dad was a child. ”
Zhou Xian didn't react for a while. If Ji Xiaoran is really the person with the strongest dream waves in this area of dreaming, then this means that they have entered the dream range of the cave? Does this mean that they are not far from him, or does it mean that his dream waves are still strong even if they travel so far?
"My dad is probably only a teenager? All the time Ah Ke, Ah Ke screamed. The girl grabbed her head hard and rubbed her head like a chicken coop even more messily," It seems that the prince Changqin ...... also mentioned "TV updates the fastest//
"Ah Qi should be called Qiqi." Zhou Xian remembered that Ji Ying's name was Huang Ying, and Feng Yi was directly called Ah Ying and Ah Yi, "According to records, before the kiln was killed and fell into weak water, it was called Qi Qi, with a human face and a snake body, and he was the son of the candle dragon. As for the crown prince Changqin, I remember that it should be the son of Zhu Rong. ”
Zhu Rong is the southern god of fire, but the candle dragon is in the cold land of the extreme north, how did the boss get involved with the sons of these two when he was a child?
Ji Xiaoran thought of the red-haired old man who came to Shanhai Pavilion that day. She tried to recall the dream, describing everything she had experienced to Zhou Xian in as much detail as possible.
The more Zhou Xian listened, the more strange his expression became: Was the boss such a skinny person before?
Ji Xiaoran looked at Zhou Xian: That Ah Yu, I'm afraid it's Ah Yu, does the senior have anything to do with Qi Qi?
"So what do we do next?" She nibbled on bread. What was supposed to be a breakfast item turned out to be lunch.
"We have no choice but to move forward." Zhou Xian pointed ahead, "I went down to take a look just now, there is a natural plank road on the stone wall under the rock, there should be people." ”
"Senior, you went down alone?!" Ji Xiaoran almost screamed, "Is this kind of place something you can toss around blindly?" If you fall, no one will know! ”
And it's really like a fried kitten. Zhou Xian was embarrassed but was amused by her and wanted to laugh, "Everything is all in you, I don't have anything to eat in the morning and I don't have anything to do, don't you just want to find a way out?" You can't be stuck here forever. ”
Ji Xiaoran felt that he was implying that he had slept for too long, so he stared at him, "Didn't I sleep for a long time because I fell asleep?" In the future, before going to bed at night, I will take out all the breakfast for the next day, so as not to make the senior hungry! ”
Before Zhou Xian could respond, he heard her voice muttering in a muffled voice, "Who knows if the scarlet blade will pop out all of a sudden, or if the rope will break......"
"Okay, okay, I'm not going to do that anymore." Zhou Xian raised his hand to smooth the hair on the girl's head, "I also considered it based on last night's situation." I will definitely act with you in the future. ”
Although he knew that Ji Xiaoran was just purely worried about the people around him, for him, this was the first time he felt that people other than his parents and the four older siblings were in such a nervous state about his behavior, and his heart was warm.
It should be because of the noon sun, Zhou Xian thought secretly.
At this time, the mist formed by the condensation of water droplets in the early morning has dissipated from the abyss, and it is possible to see Wakagi from the bottom to the top more clearly. However, due to the increase in sunlight, the rainbow across Wakaki is more concrete than in the morning, and the colors are distinct, like a dream.
This is indeed a rare beauty in the world. Ji Xiaoran slowly and heavily exhaled the breath held in his chest: If they were just here for sightseeing and not to play with their lives.
"How are we going to go down?"
"I had a vague idea, but I didn't know how feasible it would be." Zhou Xian pulled out the scarlet blade, the sharp blade reflected the light in the sun, "I estimated, in fact, it is only about twenty meters from here to the plank road, and the length of the rope is enough." It was possible for the Scarlet Blade and the rope to hang both of us at the same time, but in the end, the recovery of the Scarlet Blade was a problem. ”
"You are the owner of the Scarlet Blade." He stuck the scarlet blade with the handle wrapped around the rope into the rock, and the other end of the rope was placed in Ji Xiaoran's hand, "Try it, if you take the rope back to the ring, can you also take back the scarlet blade." ”
If it can be directly recycled like this, then it will be very simple, and they can just climb down. But if not, then it will have to be risky, after all, Scarlet Blade needs to move every distance he walks.
Ji Xiaoran held the rope and looked at it for a while, then suddenly looked up and asked him, "Do you still have the green worm bell?" ”
