Chapter 19: The Key to Open the Stone Gate
Knowing that Suosuo's voice was getting louder and louder, I didn't answer Zhao Dong again, just watched the black tide getting closer and closer to us, and my heart became colder and colder. Whether my judgment is useful or not, I don't know. I've never had much confidence in my own judgment, but that's how it should be.
The first row of bone-eating corpses was only about ten centimeters away from the tiger's teeth, nine centimeters, eight centimeters, seven centimeters, six centimeters, and my eyes were firmly fixed on the big corpse worm crawling in the front of the first row.
As it got closer and closer, I could feel my eyes widening and widening, "Jump, jump", I listened to my fast and rhythmic heartbeat while slowly counting down, expecting, five centimeters, four centimeters, three centimeters, it was coming soon, and there was still a centimeter or so, I held my breath and watched it crawl to the tiger's teeth.
The scene I was expecting didn't happen, and the huge surprise made me take a step back unconsciously as if I had been shot. My left foot stepped into the air, and my heart, which was still jumping just now, really fell to the bottom of the cliff all of a sudden, and it was over.
I only felt a tightness in my left hand, and my whole body was pulled back.
The person who pulled me next to me let out a sigh, I was still in a panic and didn't wake up, "It's good that you just stepped on the air, if both feet are empty, I will have to be pulled down by you", can have such a quick reaction ability, can still speak normally after panicking.
Needless to say, it's Lacey.
Zhang San and Zhao Dong next to him kept exclaiming, I looked at my feet again, the first row of corpse insects had crossed the tiger's teeth and moved forward ten centimeters.
It's only about 10 centimeters from where we're standing.
Lacey slowly climbed the rock wall outside the cave and moved to the left, moving to the left wall. Zhang San also learned to move to the right of Laixi, and the rock wall on the right is only
There is a protrusion that can stand alone, and Zhao Dong also wants to squeeze over there, but he can't step in and look to the left.
"Come here, little handsome", Lacey yelled at me.
My wooden box was still in the cave, so I had to move it to Lacey's side, carefully holding my right hand to the hole, and reaching out with my left foot to step on it
The only place to stay, the right foot is waiting for it to hang in the air.
Zhao Dong had nowhere to hide now, so he shouted at Laixi, "Laixi, climb up, let me come over."
Lacey's head was a smooth rock wall with no point to grasp, and how long could we hold on like this? The corpse worms will eat us if they crawl out, so do you expect them to crawl to the door and all of them will be short-sighted and won't see us go back?
A large number of corpse insects have crawled to Zhao Dong's feet, I am in a hurry, my left hand only grasps the entrance of the hole, and my right hand grabs Zhao Dong and pulls him to my side.
But there was nothing on the edge of the cave that Zhao Dong could step on and grasp, and he saw the corpse worm crawling to the entrance of the cave.
As soon as Zhao Dong's eyes closed, he was ready to jump down.
A few strange cries were heard, what's wrong? We looked closely, and when we climbed to the front of the cave, a row of corpse insects was shriveled with green smoke all over their bodies. He lay down at the entrance of the cave and did not move.
This scene is like a person who has changed from a teenager to a ninety, his skin is shriveled up, and he instantly becomes a black insect skin, and his life is like being sucked away by something in an instant.
We all watched in amazement at this magic show, and then I cheered, "Oh~oh~~,"
"What's going on, handsome", Lacey asked me.
"Tiger's mouth, tiger's mouth, tiger's teeth, tiger's teeth, hahahaha", I laughed happily.
From the entrance of the cave to the tiger's teeth, all the bone-eating corpses have grown old in rows, oh, not the lives that have been sucked away, but the souls that have been attached to them have been sucked away.
At this time, the four of them experienced two desperate situations, and they all laughed cheerfully.
When I saw everyone's smiles, I suddenly felt a little tears rushing out, a little choked, and yelled loudly
"There are you and me in the crowd"
The other three people followed me and shouted "meet and know each other",
I continued to sing loudly to Zhang San "In the crowd", and I stopped to look at Zhang San
Zhang San quickly received, "It's you and me"
The four of us sang aloud together,
"Pretend to be decent and smile
There is no need to say too much
I know it
What the hell do you and I want to do?"
While singing, we slowly returned to the entrance of the cave, standing side by side at the entrance of the cave looking at the mountains in the distance, we put our hands on each other's shoulders, sang loudly, sang loudly, although most of them were not in tune, we sang with a mouthful of blood and shamelessness.
Lai Xi wanted to use Zhao Dong and Zhang San to back in the cave, and that matter was also revealed.
My chest kept heaving, and Lacey and I high-fived and shouted, "If you don't die, there will be a blessing"
Turning around and high-fives with Zhang San and Zhao Dong, we opened our hands together and gathered around our mouths to make a trumpet shape at the green mountains, shouting
"If you don't die in a great disaster, you will have a blessing in the future."
The echo of these words wafted through the rolling green hills, and the sun set in the distance, and a rope made of rattan fell from the sky.
"Brother Ran", we poked our heads out and shouted at it.
"Brother Ran......"
"Don't scream, don't scream", I seemed to hear Brother Shangran's voice.
Brother Ran's voice came, "Eh, I heard it"
With a cheer, Lacey pulled the hemp rope and climbed up first, I knew that he was not worried that Brother Ran would go up first to guard the rattan, he was very wary of anyone except me, not to mention what happened.
I have only experienced two life and death, although our stomachs are hungry, we are all confident to climb the hemp rope, and we don't feel too hard. Waiting for the Delan Ying Village, except for Lacey, we were lying on the ground panting.
The current Caixia is really beautiful to the extreme.
"Brother Ran, we called you hard just now, but you didn't agree, we almost died below"
"Ah, what's wrong, Xiaoshuai"
I don't think Brother Ran's expression is fake, not to mention that in my opinion, there are many good people in the world, and even that old man of the black mage saved me twice.
"There's a corpse worm down there, a corpse worm that can rot flesh and bones"
"Ah, Brother Ran was taken aback"
Zhang San talked a lot, and told Brother Ran what happened just now that he was scared that this simple mountain man sat on the ground for a long time without saying a word.
After Zhang San finished speaking, Brother Ran looked at us, "I almost killed you, I almost killed you."
"Brother Ran is going to cut rattan to make ropes, otherwise we won't be able to come up", Lacey also helped Brother Ran speak.
"I cut rattan on that cliff, and I made up the length and the short of it there before I came back, and I heard you shouting and singing on the way, so I hurried back."
When I was laughing indulgently just now, I realized the feng shui principle of the white tiger's corpse. It's just that Seven Stars Judou has to go back and ask Master Mao. Why is the white tiger not the white tiger swallowing the corpse and biting the corpse and eating the corpse, in fact, the name is very clear, the tiger eats meat, the corpse is not the bone, and the place guarded by the tiger's mouth is the place where the corpse is raised.
We built a bonfire in the evening, and Brother Ran went down the mountain to catch a few small fish during the day, and ate fish soup tonight. The bonfire brought out the umami flavor of the fish soup, and I drank three bowls of the enamel bowl. I didn't get a hare today, I really want to eat slate moxibustion rabbit meat, I learned several uses of wild rope nooses from Lacey, so I really want to try it myself.
The simplest rope sleeve is actually a looper, first tie a dead knot around the middle finger at one end of the rope, and then take it off the middle finger and pass the other end of the rope through this finger loop, this is a rope sleeve that can be large or small, as long as the animal is lassoed, as soon as the animal runs, the rope sleeve is tighter and tighter, and it is caught. It's just that this method must be able to identify the path that the beast often takes, as well as find the hare nest, and basically put it under the trap at the door.
If you can't find it, you can also point bait in front of the noose to lure the animal into getting into it. It's just that the method of using bait is not as high as the success rate of directly placing it at the door.
One night when I went to bed, I dreamed that the bone-eating corpse worm crawled over, woke up several times, and then simply stopped sleeping, added firewood to the fire, sat next to it, opened Master Mao's handwriting, and recited some incantations. At night, there are many flying insects, and they keep hitting the fire, making some crackling sounds that have been burned.
We set off at dawn, and when we came to the crack in the stone, it was already ten o'clock in the morning, and in front of us was a huge mountain wall of 90 degrees, which reminded me of the huge stone gate in Master Shang's story. There is a crack more than 20 meters above the stone wall, and it seems that if people can pass through it, they must at least climb up to a position of more than 30 meters.
The place where we stood under the stone wall was full of wildflowers, full of life, but the stone wall was bare and not even mossy could be seen. At this time, I turned my head to look at the tiger's mouth, which was so small that it was almost impossible to see the hole.
Everyone cut some branches and rattans here and there, twisted them into a rattan rope, and tied them together with yesterday's rope. The vine rope is twisted horizontally every fifty centimeters or so to make it easier to climb.
My wooden box can't get in, I cleaned out all the things in the wooden box and put it in Brother Ran's burlap pocket, everyone traveled lightly, Zhang Dong and Zhang San no longer mentioned going back, after yesterday's scene we sang loudly, everyone really took care of each other.
After climbing into the crack of the mountain, you can't see Brother Ran under the mountain, and a few steps further in, the crack in the mountain is getting more and more humid and damp, and there are some artificially punched grooves on the top of the head, it seems that the plank road has been installed on the mountain wall before.
We carefully stepped on the hole and slowly climbed in, there was a faint mist in the crack of the mountain, and the scenery in front of us was looming. There are traces of artificial construction everywhere, and occasionally some plank roads on the mountain wall that have not fallen off, and the big wooden square is still very strong, which can be borrowed, and the road is much easier.
Guessing each other's riddles along the way to pass the boring time, but also to give themselves courage, Zhang San and Zhao Dong took out some meat riddles and meat jokes that I was tired of hearing to tell Laixi, and occasionally it could also inspire Laixi's laughter, alas, this wooden man, I don't know how he lived in the army.
When the counterattack against Vietnam was carried out, the Vietnamese agents left a deep impression that they could lurk in the quagmire for a few days without moving, even if the locusts and poisonous insects were rotten and the flesh was rotten, they did not move a bit, and when the time was ripe, they caused great casualties to the Chinese troops. Since then, many Chinese special forces have also adopted this cruel training method, and Lai Xi unfortunately passed the assessment to join this mysterious special operations force, in fact, it was his luck or misfortune.
The further we went, the wider the mountain crevices became, and there were already some artificially dug paths along the mountain wall, so we no longer needed to move against the cliff wall.
The feet were full of fallen twins, stuck in the middle of the mountain crevices, some dead stones, and some birds' nests. A gust of wind blew, the fog cleared a little, and there were two blackened bones stuck in the mountain crevices under our feet, and the skulls of the black hole were looking up at us, and I couldn't help but be furious, I was not too afraid of the countless white bones in the hole, but these two black skeletons were terrifying.
After continuing to walk more than ten meters, Lacey, who was walking in front, suddenly stopped and said slowly, "We may have arrived"
There is a cave entrance, and thirty centimeters into the hole is a quaint stone door.
The stone door is carved with some incomprehensible patterns, and it is a stone door, and I am a little stunned when I see the stone door, and there should be nothing in this door.
It wasn't until I saw the three musical instruments in front of the stone gate that I was relieved that Master Mao had been here.
"Xiaoshuai, this Shimen ......", Zhao Dong also seemed worried,
"It's okay, there should be nothing, Master Mao has talked about it here"
I carefully recalled some of the details that Master Mao said, and I was also depressed, Master Mao always said that if you want to take treasure, you have to act yourself, and this kind of naturally formed treasure must go through hardships to get it so as not to violate the way of heaven. It's always these few words.
"This is an antique."
I looked up and saw that Zhao Dong was looking at a long tube of pottery in front of the stone door, which had three small holes on its body.
"Is this a flute", Zhao Dong looked at the thing left and right.
I know what it is, and when I said, "That's a mustache", I was about to let Zhao Dong lighten it up and not break it, but a centipede crawled out of the hole at the bottom of the mustache, Zhao Dong was startled and let go, and the mustache fell, and one end was knocked on the mountain wall, and it was broken into several pieces and fell to the bottom of the mountain crack.
I was shocked, and when I looked down, there was a black pile of bones in the crack of the mountain, and there were three dark skulls on my face.
The beard was broken into pieces, and I felt a sense of disappointment and mixed feelings. "What's wrong?" , Lacey asked.
I replied helplessly, "That's the key to open this stone door."
