Chapter Forty-Eight: The Bronze City
When I woke up again, I subconsciously looked at the sky and found that it was still bright, and as if relieved, I closed my eyes again, ready to go back to sleep.
But as soon as I closed it, my mind still quickly flipped and sent out a soul triple question: Who am I? Where am I? What am I doing?
After asking myself, I immediately sat up straight.
This time I focused on my surroundings, and it turned out that I was in a cave.
I immediately remembered that the white-haired giant ape had taken me to a cliff overgrown with snow lotus, and there was a cave, and I had wanted to go in and see it, but I was pulled away by the white-haired giant ape.
"I didn't expect to sleep in it now!" I thought to myself and began to look at the cave.
There is no dragon's nest in the cave as written in fantasy, it is full of treasures.
This cave is clean, just like the snow-capped mountains outside, and there is no farts and debris inside.
The only thing I had, where I was lying, was a white fur that I made on closer inspection, and it seemed to be that of another great ape.
"Damn, this white-haired giant ape monster is so ferocious? Kill all your own kind? As I thought about it, I was worried about my own life: "What if this white-haired giant ape monster just grabs a toy on a whim, and when it gets tired of playing, it shoots me to death?" ”
The more I thought about it, the more scared I became, so I decided that the thirty-six plan would be the best plan, and it would be better to run first.
Cautiously exiting the cave, and not finding the shadow of the white-haired giant ape, I breathed a sigh of relief and quickly ran towards the edge of the cliff.
There are rows and clumps of snow lotus growing there, and I know the benefits of this thing, after all, I have eaten it.
So I'm going to pick some and bring some with me, although it's not authentic, but people don't kill for themselves.
When I opened my backpack, all the food I had in it was broken, but fortunately, there was still water and some lighting.
I tidied up a little, put the inedible food and useless lighting equipment inside, and fell off the cliff directly, rearranged the rest and put it in the backpack, and then quickly picked a dozen snow lotuses and put them in the backpack.
It's not that I don't want to pick it up, it's that I can't fit my backpack.
After everything was done, I greedily ate one of them, and then I got up and prepared to leave.
As a result, I was confused, because there was no way down.
At first, the white-haired giant ape monster jumped up with me, it jumped a jump, it can go up more than ten meters, I can't do it, I looked for a long time, and I didn't find a way to go down the cliff, and I tried a few times, and wanted to climb down.
But the cliff is too steep, and the whole snow-capped mountain is layered because the temperature is too low
The ice is very slippery, and I can't catch it at all. I don't have the claws of a white-haired giant ape, so I can't get down at all.
When I thought of the claws, I remembered that we had killed a giant ape monster before, and I cut off its claws and put them in my backpack.
It's really hard to say what kind of animal this giant ape monster is, but its claws are so easy to use, it only needs a little force to break through the ice like chopping melons and vegetables.
I grabbed a claw in one hand and started to climb down, and after climbing a few meters, I realized that I couldn't do it.
It's still too steep, I don't have a foothold, all my strength hits my arms, and if it goes on like this for a long time, I'm afraid I won't be able to hold it.
After thinking about it, I finally made a decision that went the other way, and I decided to climb up and go to the top of the mountain to have a look.
It is said that it is easy to go up the mountain, but it is difficult to go down, and the fact is that when you climb up, it is much easier to climb down because of the reasons that can be seen.
Climbing a mountain is a boring and torturous affair that requires a lot of perseverance and state of mind.
I climbed for three minutes, and I couldn't stand it anymore, but by this time I had climbed out more than ten meters, and when I looked down, I couldn't see the cliff anymore.
I regretted a little that I wanted to go back, but I felt that it would be a bit embarrassing to go back like this, so I gritted my teeth and continued.
When I climbed more than 100 meters, I found that I regretted it even more, because now I can't see the top or the bottom, the road ahead is vast, the road back is slim, neither advance nor retreat.
I clutched at my hair irritably, not knowing what to do, and found a place where I could sit, and I began to sit in a daze.
"Go back? No way! No way! Keep climbing? When is it a head? Can't see the top at all, okay? Why am I so useless? Sick of it! "I gave up on myself again.
There is a ridiculous saying circulating on the Internet, that is: Sometimes if you don't push yourself, you don't know how good you are.
Why, because I kept crawling.
Climbing a mountain is a very painful, very physically demanding thing, I am now panting like a cow, sweating all over, every three or four climbs, I have to stop to rest and rest, but I still keep cheering myself up, or hypnotizing myself, asking myself to continue climbing.
I roughly counted the time, and after three hours, I was horrified, this snow-capped mountain seemed to have no end, could not reach the top, just like the endless darkness before.
In three hours, I felt that even if I climbed slowly, I would have to climb at least a thousand meters, but I still didn't reach the top.
And when you look up, you still can't see the top, and you can't see it when you look down.
"How so?" I asked myself with some desperation.
People are not afraid of hardship, do not be stingy with hard work, people are afraid that after hardship and hard work, there will be no results and no results.
That's what I'm like at this point, I've tried so long and I can't see anything, I'm discouraged, I'm desperate, I'm crazy, I'm yelling.
But it didn't work, I climbed up again after more than an hour of decadence.
Actually, I have another choice, that is, to go back the way I came, although it is more difficult to climb down, but as long as I persevere, I will always return to the original cliff platform.
And moving on, it is an unknown, and there may not even be an end at all.
People must know how to stop losses even so that they can avoid defeat.
But I'm different, I'm a very stubborn or paranoid person, I won't repent if I die, I know I'm wrong, I regret it, but I don't look back.
As a result, I regretted it again, and I would regret it for a while after climbing a few steps, but I continued to crawl forward like a nervous disorder.
It went on and on, tormenting myself, and I kept crawling forward.
If I'm not mistaken, it took me more than twenty hours to start with the climb, to rest and eat halfway through, and to continue the climb.
Twenty hours later, I finally saw the light of day, and I was at the top.
I almost fell in excitement because every minute and second that had passed for the past twenty hours had been a torment for me.
I lay on the platform at the top of the hill and lay down for a long time before I sat up.
After eating a snow lotus to restore my strength, I looked at the platform.
"~" This is my first reaction after seeing this platform clearly.
It's a huge platform, and I don't know how big it is, because you can't see the end at a glance, and even more so it's half hidden in the endless darkness.
Same as what I saw below, black and white, white on one side and black on the other.
And on top of this huge platform, there was a city, a city of bronze on the inside and a layer of ice on the outside.
I can't see how big this city is, and the other thing is that this city is also divided into black and white, half in darkness and half in light.
I was fascinated by this strange scene, and subconsciously walked towards the bronze city.
The city looked quite close, but when I walked over, I found that it was still far away, and it took me about half an hour to get to the bottom of the city.
The green patina, encased in a layer of ice, presents a crystal clear, yet time-precipitated taste.
Looking up at the two ten-meter-tall sculptures in front of the door, I muttered, "This is the phoenix?" This is bronze, could it be that this was established by the Shang Dynasty? ”
