Chapter 197: Ascending the Blackwood Cliff
Heimu Cliff is located at the junction of Hebei and Shanxi, He Xie went out of Tongguan from Huashan, all the way across Shanxi, to Pingding Prefecture.
More than 40 miles away from the northwest of Pingding Prefecture, is where the Black Wood Cliff is located, this place is wild and treacherous, the mountains are treacherous, and the water flow is turbulent. If you want to enter the Black Wood Cliff, you must pass through a stone path about five feet wide and about seven miles long, and the two sides of the stone path are cliffs, and there are at least hundreds of Sun Moon Sect members on both sides of the road, and they are heavily guarded.
And even after crossing this stone path, he was immediately blocked by a secluded lake, and the Sun and Moon Sect members patrolled back and forth on the lake at any time.
On the other side of the lake is the main altar of the Black Wood Cliff, but seeing a lonely cliff towering into the sky, there is no road that can go straight to the top of the cliff, and only through the method of taking the bamboo basket with a winch noose can you rise to the top of the cliff.
With such a topography and such a tight defense, it can be said that if you want to break through here, it is simply wishful thinking.
The Sun Moon Sect has been able to sit back and relax for hundreds of years, in addition to other complex reasons, it is inseparable from the easy-to-defend and difficult-to-attack terrain of the Black Wood Cliff.
Although He Xie is a master of art and bold, he will never dare to kill the Black Wood Cliff alone.
After he quietly sneaked into the bottom of the Black Wood Cliff, he knew that if he relied on ordinary methods, he would not even be able to see the undefeated face of the East.
The Sun Moon Sect didn't look like a martial arts sect at all, it was more like a large military camp.
If He Xie's whereabouts were revealed, he would immediately face thousands of people to encircle and suppress him, and the terrain here was so treacherous, no matter how confident He Xie was, he would not be arrogant enough to completely ignore these obviously well-trained Sun and Moon Sect members.
He Xie had also thought about whether to simply show his name and visit openly, but if there was no accident, it should not be Dongfang Undefeated who was in charge of the sect affairs at this time, but his male favorite Yang Lianting.
He Xie felt that if he really worshiped the mountain openly, it was very likely that he would be directly taken down by this person and ordered the sect members to take it down. At that time, even if He Xie can escape, he will be startled, and it will be difficult to sneak into it again.
After lurking at the bottom of the cliff for a day, He Xie finally found a way to sneak up the cliff.
He stole the weapon of a Sun and Moon Sect Master who was good at using double hooks, found some ropes, and took advantage of the dark wind that night to go around behind the Black Wood Cliff and quietly climb up.
He Xie's special training in "Secret Service Academy" came in handy, and the bonus of internal force, coupled with the small method of "night vision" obtained from the ruins of ancient tombs, made him walk on the steep cliffs!
The cliff is about more than 70 zhang high, and it only took him half an hour to reach the top of the cliff.
He hid the "cliff-climbing tools" in a hidden place, did not rush to explore, but arranged around the vicinity, leaving a way for himself to retreat, and then took advantage of the night to quietly touch the dark palace not far away.
Although it was late at night, the palace was still heavily guarded, with three steps and one post, and five steps and one sentry. He Xie is hidden behind a mountain rock, but he sees a huge white marble archway standing in front of the palace, and the four golden characters on the archway are "Ze is born", which is reflected by the fire light in the brazier on both sides.
Waiting for a team of patrolling believers to pass, He Xie kicked under his feet, and suddenly people were like lonely Hong, falling lightly in front of the archway, and his figure flashed, and he had already bypassed the archway and entered the palace.
He had barely breathed in when another group of patrolling disciples passed by the door.
He Xie entered the main hall, only to find that the width of the hall was only about 30 feet, but the depth was about 300 feet, which seemed long and depressing.
There are some human images carved on the stone walls on both sides of the palace, but there are no windows in the hall, only behind a screen at the end of the main hall, there are two fires flickering on and off, far away, He Xie can't see what is carved on the stone wall at all.
The hall was very quiet, He Xie walked forward quietly, without making a sound, he faintly saw that there seemed to be a figure behind the screen, but it must not be undefeated in the East.
Walking in, only to find that behind the screen is actually a high copper seat, the copper seat is engraved on both sides of two lines of big characters, the right is "Wencheng Wude", the left is "benevolence, righteousness and wisdom", and the banner above is also engraved with "sun and moon bright" four big red characters.
He Xie groaned slightly, bypassed the screen directly, and there was a person sitting on the copper seat, holding an account book to check, and his eyebrows were twisted into a Sichuan character.
He Xie touched the front of him, but this person still didn't realize anything, obviously his martial arts were low, or even had no martial arts at all.
This man was less than thirty years old, wearing a maroon satin leather robe, with a burly figure, a bearded face, and an extremely strong and powerful appearance.
He Xie stood in front of him for a while, and seeing that this person still couldn't detect it, it was certain that he really didn't have any martial arts.
can sit on the throne of the sect leader, and without any martial arts, this person's identity is about to come out - Yang Lianting!
He Xie came tonight, just to find Dongfang to fight undefeated, and then take away the secret book of divine skills, he was not interested in fighting with the Sun and Moon Sect, so he never wanted to make too much trouble.
He took a step forward and directly clicked on several heavy points on Yang Lianting's body, making him unable to move, even if he spoke, he couldn't make a loud sound.
Yang Lianting stiffened, and suddenly encountered a big change, but he didn't panic at all, and shouted in a deep voice: "Bold thief, dare to sneak attack this director!" Who are you? ”
claimed to be the director, and there was no doubt that it was Yang Lianting.
"Take me to see the East undefeated." He Xie said lightly.
Yang Lianting sneered: "What are you?" Is the Eastern Sect Master something you can see when you say so? ”
He Xie frowned slightly: "Don't force me to kill you!" ”
Who knew that this Yang Lianting's personality was actually extremely tough, and he shouted: "You will kill me if you have a kind, if Lao Tzu frowns, he is not a hero!" ”
He Xie smiled: "Okay, it's a man, but is it so necessary?" I just want to see the undefeated East, you are looking for death and life, what is the value of your death? ”
Yang Lianting was slightly silent and sneered: "The Eastern Sect Master is invincible in the world, since you dare to send him to death, it is no better." Okay, I'll take you to him. ”
He Xie lifted him: "Show the way!" Don't blame me for not reminding you, don't alarm others, you're not afraid of death, but wouldn't it be better to be alive? ”
Yang Lianting said coldly: "Don't worry, this director's life is noble, and he will not bury you with a cheap life." ”
He Xie shook his head, this person's mouth is so stinky, and he doesn't know what Dongfang Undefeated likes about him?
Under the command of Yang Lianting, He Xie carried him directly through a long corridor from the apse to a garden. There is a small stone house at the end of the garden.
After entering the house, Yang Lianting spoke again: "Push the left wall." ”
He Xie used the scabbard of his sword instead of the palm of his hand to move forward, and the wall turned out to be alive, and a door was suddenly revealed.
Yang Lianting sneered disdainfully: "Afraid that there is a mechanism? And how bold you are, it turns out that you are just a petty thug. ”
He Xie didn't bother to bother with him, so he pushed open the door, and it was another tunnel.
The tunnel goes all the way down, and there are several oil lamps hanging on the walls on both sides, and the lights are as dim as beans.
