Chapter 30: The True Immortal
In fact, it is not very difficult to go to heaven, but it is even more difficult to climb over with this rope in our hands.
This wall is more than 20 meters high, and I don't know if it's a relief or what, but there is enough place to step on. It's just that freehand rock climbing is not as simple as it seems, and with a short distance of more than 20 meters, it is estimated that half of us have to hold on to less than 10 meters.
I've seen Liu's climbing skills, and I know it's not a difficult thing for him here. The biggest problem was Lu Yan, who only had one hand and couldn't keep his balance on the rock wall at all.
The rock walls are all the same, and there is nothing to be tricked into. Liu Dongxi obviously noticed this problem as well, and pulled Lu Yan to look up at the edge of the wall.
"Go up from here!" Liu Dongxi pointed to a place at the base of the wall.
This place has a protrusion against the wall, more than one person high, and from then on, the landing points all the way up can be connected, and it is indeed a good route to climb.
"Lu Yan, can you do it?" I asked, a little worried.
Lu Yan looked at me, smiled, jumped on the fish-like protrusion, grabbed the crack in the wall with one hand, and easily pulled himself up.
This sequence of movements is extremely coherent and effortless, and although the combination of one hand and two legs is a little strange, the alternation of power and weakness creates a particularly attractive rhythm that is impeccably fluid.
I was relieved to see this, there were two rock plugs in my carry-on bag, and the ropes on my body could also string the rest of us. Climb slowly, it's a big deal to take a break halfway.
The focus points on the wall seem to be tailor-made for humans, and they are very effective to climb. Most of them are cracks in the rock, while others appear to have been artificially carved and are part of an overall pattern.
I kind of regret that I didn't take a closer look at what was carved on this wall, but it's useless now. I finally climbed up so much, and I thought it was sick to go down in order to see a painting.
"Brother An, I know what is painted on it!" When I stuck the rock plug into the crack to rest, Liu Dongxi was at the bottom.
"What is it?"
"It's a bird! A wide variety of birds! ”
"Why birds?" I was stunned, this should be the territory of the Bon religion, and it is inextricably linked with the Xia family and the Wang family. It's not uncommon to have some trapeze and gejia painted on the wall, even if it's an inch of my picture. But what does this have to do with birds? There are so many birds painted on the wall, and the birds are calling you to provoke you?
"Isn't it Mingyue?" I asked.
"No, it's our usual bird." Liu Dongxi thought, "No, there are some uncommon ones, anyway, there is everything!" ”
I can't think of why, but I especially understand that the ancients worshipped living beings and made them totems. But there has never been anything about making all birds objects of worship. For example, a gang of people engage in a cult of personality, which is understandable. But if a group of people worship a group of people, it's a bit puzzling. If a group of people worship all mankind, then they must be sick if they don't say it.
"Lu Yan, have you ever heard of this kind of thing?" I asked, looked up at Lu Yan, only to find that the top of our heads was already empty.
My scalp was numb, and if it weren't for the rock plug pulling me, I would have to fall. This ghost place, either suddenly many people or suddenly few people, is really impossible.
Actually, I was just startled, and I didn't feel any panic. Because I'm sure that the old monster of Roadshow will never be killed by something so quietly, and if such a thing really happens, there are only two explanations, he is hiding himself, and he is willing to be taken captive.
The answer is obviously the first.
"I don't know!" Lu Yan's head sticked out from the rock above his head and replied.
The shock was clearly greater than before, and I leaned down so badly that I almost broke the rope in my hand.
But the change of angle also helped me see the situation above. There was either a large crack or a staggered layer, but it was not found before because of the similar color of the rocks and the dim light.
Seeing this, we were in no mood to rest anymore and quickly climbed up. Sure enough, there was a long, narrow platform on it, and there was a black hole in the platform every few steps, and it walked almost around the whole hall.
When we came up, Lu Yan was checking something at a hole under the stone wall.
"What did you find?" I walked over and asked.
Lu Yan turned to look at me and waved his hand to signal me to come over.
I walked up, and Lu Yan's flashlight immediately illuminated the entire cave.
It was ten meters deep diagonally, straight and straight without a bend. At the end of the cave, a man in ragged clothes sat squarely.
This man was supposed to be a monk, and I saw a huge string of multi-treasure beads in his hand hanging down from his knees. Although his head hung down on his chest, there was an unexpected aura of affinity, slowly rushing from the hole, like a warm breeze blowing on his face.
"Who is this?" I asked Lu Yan.
"Bon!" Lu Yan replied with three words, removed the lights, and hurriedly walked towards another cave.
There is also a similar shell in this cave, but there is no treasure on this shell, only a dendritic object tightly pinched in the right hand, and I don't know what it is.
Lu Yan ran to the next one.
I took a look around, there are hundreds of these caves, if Lu Yan looks at them one by one, we will have to die here. Hurry up and persuade each other.
"Lu Yan, what are you looking for, say it and we'll look for it together, when will you find it yourself?"
Lu Yan was stunned for a moment, probably thinking that I was right, and nodded: "I'm not looking for anything, just to confirm one thing!" ”
"What's the matter?"
"What the hell is Bon?"
I was stunned for a moment, and said in my heart, what does Bon have to do with you? Even if it is the son of our Xia family, this person has become a human being, can he save you or me?
Lu Yan seemed to see my thoughts, and explained again for the first time.
"I have some thoughts in my heart that I want to confirm."
"What thoughts?" I saw that he was very talkative, and quickly put on a look of being willing to listen.
"There was a legend in the family." Lu Yan said, "In addition to them, you and me, there is a third person in the Xia family!" ”
Lu Yan's statement is very strange, neither the Xia family nor we refer to a single person, but in the end, a single person is used for comparison.
"What do you mean?"
"It means that there is a person who has been alive all the time, and it can even be said that it is immortality in the true sense, and it is this person who can teach the Xia family to refine the elixir of eternal life! It is said that this man is the ancestor of all living beings! Lu Yan lowered his voice and spoke, sounding a little creepy.
The affairs of the Xia family are emerging one after another, which really makes me a little impatient. I snorted, "That is to say, there is still such a thing as eternal life, but this ancestor is also capable of giving birth, is it true that everything in heaven and earth is his child?" ”
Of course I know that this cannot be understood in this way, and if the Source of Life is true, then it can be called the ancestor of all living beings.
"I checked twenty caves before you came up." Lu Yan's voice quickened, "There is a seated monk in these twenty caves, and none of them have a left hand!" ”
I subconsciously glanced at Lu Yan's empty left sleeve, and said in my heart, could this be some kind of underworld organization, if you want to join the gang, you have to chop your arm first?
"What do you mean?"
When Lu Yan heard me ask, he stopped talking, and stood there a little stunned.
"What's wrong? What do you mean they don't have a left arm? ”
"Oh......" Lu Yan woke up from a dream, "From a scientific point of view, do you think it is possible for an individual to live forever?" ”
"Yes!" I nodded and said, "As long as the human body cells are constantly renewed, people will never age, but this process is very dangerous, and if you are not careful, you will get cancer, and you will die faster." ”
Lu Yan nodded.
There is a basis for saying this, there have been studies that say that human carcinogenesis is entirely the result of the human body's evolutionary mechanism adapting to the present life. The reason why it is out of control and fatal is entirely because the changes in life are so rapid that the human body has not even fully adapted to walking upright and has begun to be forced to adapt to detachment from nature, and this uncontrolled evolutionary speed makes the evolution of the human body at a loss, and can only be destroyed.
It's like Ge Erhei.
"But it's hard to say something like that!" I looked at Lu Yan again, "Aren't you just living for hundreds of years, and it's almost like immortality!" ”
Lu Yan gave me a strange look, "So I know the problem in the middle, and now I doubt that the legend is true, that person is from the Wang family!" ”
I was shocked, this statement has to be substantiated, can such a big thing be said nonsense?
"You don't believe it?" Lu Yan asked me.
I nodded and shook my head again.
"I naturally have my evidence." Lu Yan said: "The people in the immortal coffin are indeed the Wang family, and in this hall, there are more people from the Wang family!" ”
"How do you know?" I thought of the inhuman bones beneath me, and a feeling of utter absurdity welled up in my heart. Wang Da Keke is a very normal human girl, and Lu Yan's statement is too sensational!
"I know you don't believe it." Lu Yan said: "If you want to confirm, you can go and see their neck bones, the neck bone awl in the second section under the head is particularly sharp, and the skin is pierced like horns!" ”
Hearing him say this, I couldn't help but believe it, and immediately touched the stone cave. The corpse sat cross-legged on the ground, its skin turned black, clinging to its bones. On the back of his neck, there was indeed a protrusion, reaching out and touching the neck bone, there were obvious signs of wear on it, and it looked like the result of being exposed to the outside for many years.
I immediately remembered the small square scarf that Wang Dake tied around his neck all the year round, I originally thought that this was the personality of a young girl's dress, but now it seems that it is to hide this family characteristic?
