Ancient Tibetan Secret Texts Chapter 55 The Pursuit of the Piano Worm
Chu Tianyi glanced behind him and shouted to Mu Feng, "Brother Feng, let's go!" ”
Mu Feng didn't look back, still looking in that direction, and squinted his eyes at the same time, "It's not a way to run like this." What do you see on the stone wall over there? ”
Hearing Mu Feng say this, Chu Tianyi immediately ran over, followed his eyes, and sure enough, he saw wooden frames hanging in the air on the stone walls of the canyon branches.
"It's a plank road!" Chu Tianyi said with some surprise.
At this time, Xiao Meng and the bearded man also stopped, and asked for some reason: "Why stopped!" "The piano worms are catching up in a moment?"
Mu Feng ignored them and said to Chu Tianyi, "Do you remember the words left by your father?" ”
"Of course," Chu Tianyi said again, "Wolong plays with pearls, and the ear and moon are in the cave." ”
Mu Feng groaned slightly, raised his hand and pointed in the direction of the plank road, "Go over there, quick!" ”
"Why?" The others were puzzled for a moment.
Mu Feng waved his hand, "Hurry up, there's no time to explain!" With that, he ran in that direction.
The bearded man shook his head helplessly, and could only follow. The three of them followed behind Mu Feng and ran towards the location of the plank road.
ran all the way to it, but unexpectedly found a terrible situation. From a distance, the plank road above the stone wall is relatively intact, but the steps at the bottom of the stone wall that connect the plank road are broken and damaged.
Xiao Meng was stunned when he saw it, "I'll go, what should I do?"
Chu Tianyi stood at the bottom of the plank road, and he seemed to smell some strange fragrances, but he was not in the mood to delve into these at this time. He hurriedly looked back to see where the insects were moving, but the shrubs were obscuring them, and he couldn't see where the insects crawling on the ground were. He couldn't imagine the horror of a sudden mass of lyreworms beneath his feet.
Chu Tianyi thought in his heart, and couldn't help muttering to himself: "I don't know where those piano worms are?" ”
The bearded man turned his head to look at it, his face becoming even more nervous, "See those bushes fall to the side as if they were suddenly shorter?" That's caused by the piano crawling underneath! After he finished speaking, he turned his head away, "Quick! Hurry up and find a way, if you can't keep running, you can't wait to die here! ”
Hearing the bearded man say this, Chu Tianyi didn't see it at first, but when he looked closely, he found that in the woods in front of him, there seemed to be an invisible line at the top of the large bushes, which was spreading rapidly towards them, and the distance was no more than a hundred meters at this time.
Mu Feng stretched out his hand and pulled Chu Tianyi, "Tianyi, you go first!" After going up, tie the rope and let's go up again! ”
"Me?" Chu Tianyi knew that the person who went up first would have the greatest chance of escaping, "Brother Feng, it's better for you to go first!" ”
"Now is not the time to be humble," Mu Feng said and untied the mountaineering rope on his backpack and threw it to Chu Tianyi, "You are the most flexible among our people, you go up and tie the rope first, and a few of us will have a chance to escape, you hurry up, there is no time!" ”
Chu Tianyi didn't shirk anymore and nodded vigorously.
Xiao Meng and the bearded man clasped their hands together to form a "shelf", and when Chu Tianyi stepped on it, the two of them threw it upwards at the same time, and at the same time, he also jumped with his strength, and grabbed the stone support of the plank road with both hands at once.
Chu Tianyi turned over on the plank road with both hands, and at this time he found that the fragrance he smelled just now was more obvious, he didn't dare to hesitate, he quickly tied the climbing rope to the stone support, bypassed a piece of wood on the plank road, and then threw it to Mu Feng and the others below.
In view of Mu Feng's poor physical strength, under the condition of the bearded man below and Chu Tianyi pulling him up, he was brought up first, followed by the bearded man and Xiao Meng.
As soon as Xiao Meng's feet left the ground, those piano insects arrived, although they could not see their specific situation, but when the wind shook the bushes, they could still see the dense crawling figures of the piano insects below. Xiao Meng grinned in fright, shrunk his feet and quickly climbed up a few times.
Chu Tianyi saw goosebumps all over his body again, he suddenly remembered something, and immediately shouted loudly: "Everyone be careful, don't be poisoned by the worm, hold your breath!" As he spoke, he quickly covered his mouth and nose with his hands.
But Mu Feng waved his hand at him, "Put your hand down, it's time for you, you're going to be poisoned." I don't think the poison of these insects is easy to do here. ”
"Why is that?" Chu Tianyi also felt so.
Mu Feng pointed to the wood on the plank road, "It should be related to these things, have you smelled a fragrance, I think the ancestors who lived here must have a way to resist the poison of this kind of piano insects, this plank road may have this effect, you see the wood on it, with some faint purple, it is obvious that it has been soaked and processed by something." Therefore, they are able to resist the poison of the lyre. This is probably the reason why these woods have not decayed for so long. ”
Mu Feng was talking, and suddenly the slap in the face happened, only to hear a click, the wood on the climbing rope suddenly stopped, maybe it was too much weight just now, after all, this piece of wood has been exposed to the wind and sun here for thousands of years.
However, as soon as the wood broke, the rope immediately slipped a little. There was a big trouble now, Xiao Meng, who was already about to climb up, was shaken like this, and without the slightest psychological preparation, his hand suddenly slipped, and the whole person fell down at once.
Xiao Meng fell into the pile of piano worms with a frightened face, and countless piano insects climbed up at once. A few of them also used their bodies to wrap around Xiao Meng's neck.
Xiao Meng jumped up hysterically and frantically shook off the piano worm on his body. But there are too many of them, and they can't be shaken off.
Chu Tianyi and the others shouted again, "Xiao Meng, grab the rope quickly." Xiao Meng stretched out his hand to grab the rope, but there were a lot of piano worms on the climbing rope.
At this moment, only to hear a "bang", Mu Feng took out a bottle of alcohol from his backpack, wrapped it in his clothes and smashed it, then lit it with a lighter, picked it on a short knife, and shouted, "Stay still!" Then he jumped down and rushed to Xiao Meng's side.
The clothes in Mu Feng's hand are very hot, and wild animals have a natural fear of fire. Therefore, as soon as he jumped down, the insects around him instantly began to retreat, including those on Xiao Meng's body.
Mu Feng held Xiao Meng, "How do you feel?" ”
Xiao Meng's face turned red, and he waved his hand, "I'm fine!" ”
Mu Feng handed the climbing rope into Xiao Meng's hands, "Quick, you go up first!" ”
But before Xiao Meng grabbed the rope and had time to climb, the flame on Mu Feng's short knife gradually extinguished, after all, the alcohol burning could not support it for a while.
As soon as the flames disappeared, the lyreworms immediately surrounded them again. Mu Feng and Xiao Meng were in danger in an instant.
The bearded man raised his shotgun and fired several shots at the insects around him, but to no avail.
Chu Tianyi also took off his clothes and lit them with a lighter, preparing to follow Mu Feng's example and jump down to the rescue. At this time, he didn't think about whether he would be trapped below like Mu Feng, he just felt that he couldn't watch the two people die in front of his eyes.
Just when Chu Tianyi picked up his clothes with a short knife and was about to jump down, a shocking roar suddenly came from the canyon, Chu Tianyi subconsciously followed the sound, and there was a shaking in the trees, and a black shadow flashed over.
Immediately afterward, there was a commotion in the bushes. The bushes were very high, and Chu Tianyi couldn't see what it was, only a little black back that was exposed.
To their surprise, the insects began to retreat like a tidal wave. The piano insects that were still dense under the plank road just now, and there was not a single one left in the blink of an eye.
Only then did a few people come to their senses, and Chu Tianyi urged, "Quick! Come on! ”
