Chapter 45: The Stone Steps

There are many mysterious and mysterious things in this world, but the sight of these fireflies converging into a god statue really puzzles me, in other words. Fortunately, this is in the deep mountains of the hinterland of Bashu, if it is outside, if such a scene is added to a temple, it will bring incomparably prosperous incense, and watching fireflies at night will also become a "miracle" like a landscape, and then there will be all kinds of experts who come out to decipher this matter with countless seemingly scientific reasoning, He Ping'an patted me on the shoulder and said: "What the hell are you in a daze at this time?" ”

I was stunned for a moment before I felt distracted just now, at this time He Ping'an woke me up, and I had begun to climb up the mountain, but it was easy to go down the mountain and difficult to go up, and the location where the fireflies gathered was still the steepest side of the highest peak, and it was very difficult to climb, so the two of us tried for a long time. They all ended in failure, and in the end, they could only think about going around the back, and after going around, they could find a way to reach the top, and then they would approach this cliff.

Two people on this peak, really as small as two ants, we stopped and stopped, and finally on the side of the mountain, in a very inconspicuous position, found a dilapidated stone staircase, this stone staircase made us even more ecstatic, the more obvious the man-made traces of this mountain, the greater the possibility of a vanishing temple in the hinterland of this mountain.

This temple was covered with moss, and it was very difficult to walk because of the corruption of the past hundred years, and He Ping'an and I held hands and clinged to the mountain wall. You don't know which foot will fall off the cliff, how high is this peak? If you fall, you will definitely be crushed immediately.

This stone step is like a winding mountain road, it seems that the ancients knew that this can make the slope the most gentle and safe, we went around and around, at this time the fireflies have disappeared, not to mention the pair of fiery red eyes, all of a sudden we also became dazed, but we must also follow the mountain road, because at the end of the mountain road, may be our destination. But on the last few floors, a small hole is carved into the stone wall next to the stone staircase, and two statues are placed in each hole, one a snake and the other a weasel. These two statues are carved vividly. Out of fear of weasels, I walked more carefully.

It's just that I can't understand why snakes and weasels are worshipped as true gods by many people, including my grandfather.

Although the stone steps are long, there is always a time to come to an end, but at the end, there is a fault in the stone steps, we stand halfway up the mountain, the sky at this time has been slightly bright, and the cold wind blows, which makes us both shaky.

With the skills of both of us, it's impossible to jump from this side to the other side and climb over. Without a support point, it will be more difficult, and I don't think we can do it both.

"I didn't expect us all to come here, only to be stopped by a stone staircase fault." I smiled wryly.

But at this time, He Ping'an suddenly took out a rope, and there was a hideous-looking iron claw on the opposite side of the rope, and he skillfully threw the rope to the opposite side, and then pulled this end of the rope and swung directly to the opposite side.

"You still have this fucking hand?" I was pleasantly surprised, I really can't see that He Ping'an, who is the same as Xiaoshou, will still play this. Female remnants of blood.

According to my original understanding, he was gone, then. Will I be far away? Who knew that at this time, He Ping'an suddenly turned his head and smiled strangely at me, then waved his hand at me, and along that section of the stairs, he quickly disappeared into the blind spot of my vision.

I was standing there alone, completely unable to accept this sudden situation, at this time I really had the feeling of being messy in the wind, this He Ping, what does this mean? He left his buddy here?

In other words, the person I treated him as a friend all the way has actually been acting and deceiving me all the time?

That feeling of aggrieved is mentioned, I looked at the cliff, and I decided that I didn't want to retreat at this time, you fucking dare to betray me, why do I have to follow and question you, isn't it? I also had ropes in my bag, but there was no hook, so I finally unbuckled my belt, tied a stone, made a suggested hook and lost it I don't know how many times before it reached the other side.

Next is the swing in the air, this is the real technical work, I am agitated in the air, and then the whole person is agitated in mid-air, I also want to have a chic move in the air, but the skill is too poor, all of a sudden it became a very embarrassing situation, I fell in the air like this, I can't go up but can't get down, the foot is an abyss, the head is a rope, now with the toes to know that it is more cost-effective to climb up.

I don't weigh much, it's one hundred and twenty pounds, this rope must be the best thing we bought at the time, there is absolutely no problem with the load-bearing, but I didn't climb a few times, I felt the loosening above, at this time I was almost discouraged, the hairy claws made of belts and stones began to loosen, the whole person was in a hurry, I thought about climbing up before the end broke, people will be in a hurry when they are in a hurry, just under my efforts, suddenly there was a bang above, and my whole person began to fall down.

I'm done, do you really have to confess here, buddy?

I screamed in the air, screaming and crowning frantically, trying to catch a life-saving straw at this time, the wind whistled in my ears, I didn't feel heavy just now, but at this time I felt that I was really too heavy, because even if I caught a small tree or something on the way, it was not covered on the tree like it appeared on TV, it was usually broken when I pulled it, and then I was almost desperate, and my heart was blank.

In the end, I stopped my body abruptly, because at this time I finally caught something in the panic of dancing, because of gravity, I grabbed this thing and kept sliding, only to feel a fever in the palms, but fortunately, I finally stabilized my body, I just held this cold thing, hugged it tightly, and refused to let go like I hugged my mother's neck when I was a child.

When I stabilized my mind, I realized that what saved my life just now was a rusty black iron chain, this iron chain is very thick, and my palms have been blurred with flesh and blood, but when surviving, people will always be stimulated to have a different kind of potential, I gritted my teeth and climbed up along this black iron chain, as long as I can return to the stone steps, isn't it equivalent to self-saving success?

I had used almost all my strength, and my hands were numb at last, and I finally climbed to the top of the chain, but here, instead of a stone staircase, it was a circular hole, and the entrance of the hole was not large, allowing one person to pass through.

I climbed up the hole, gasping for breath, I didn't expect that at the most critical moment, the tomb robber's cave actually saved my life, this iron chain, may be the tomb robber wanted to enter this mountain temple to beat.

I stabilized my breathing and tried to lie down as comfortably as possible, and then turned on the flashlight, but when I turned it on, I was startled, because everywhere the flashlight could reach, there were bones everywhere in this thief hole that could be passed by alone.

It's like hell on earth.

After going through so many things, in fact, the fear that the white bones gave me was very short-lived, because I knew that if people turned into bones, there would not even be a chance to cheat the corpse.

These white bones are all with arrows stuck in their hands, and the arrows have rusted, and when I saw this situation, I overturned my own speculation, and I felt that the dead people in this were not tomb robbers? On the contrary, from their almost decaying clothes, they look like Qing Dynasty clothing.

I suddenly understood, the craftsmen I was looking for were all killed by Zhang Xianzhong in the end, I heard the big buck tooth tell me that the general tomb builders will leave an escape route for themselves, and the feeling that this hole is a special escape passage for the craftsmen of the year, but they didn't run out, and they were all shot.
