Chapter 410: Hemp Rope
When I think of the pace of the tenth round, I feel bitter in my heart, mainly because the problem is too difficult to be a person.
So, I took a few deep breaths and began to step into the Jiuge Palace at a specific pace, while the soldiers who carried the coffin behind me followed me.
At first, the whole scene was also lively, probably when it came to the third round, the time was close to noon, many people said that they were tired and wanted to eat and rest for a while, I said directly, if you don't bury the human skin coffin, no one wants to rest, let alone eat.
In this way, all of us dragged our tired bodies and continued to carry the coffin.
At four o'clock in the afternoon, not to mention that the soldiers who carried the coffin were tired, even I, the leader, were tired.
In this case, we enter the most difficult round of the tenth round, according to the rules, this round is to cross one of the numbers, and the thirty meters long nine-square grid, divided by three numbers, the length of each grid is ten meters, which means that we need to cross a distance of ten meters every time we walk next.
According to the conventional method, it will definitely not work, that Ge Hongchen thought of a way for us, saying that it is to pour a layer of tung oil on the ground, and tung oil has the effect of isolation from a certain angle, to put it bluntly, it is to use tung oil to separate our footsteps from the ground, so as to cause the effect of flying.
However, once tung oil is used, the whole ground will become slippery, not to mention carrying the coffin, even walking normally will be a problem, which makes me shake my head again and again, I don't agree with this proposal, so I asked Ge Hongchen, is it okay to pour water on the ground.
The answer he gave was that tung oil was different from other liquids and contained a liquid called kun, which is called quercus in the underworld, which is actually the clouds in our yang world.
This put me in a dilemma, if we don't use tung oil, we want to cross a distance of ten meters, obviously impossible, with tung oil, the ground is too slippery, we carry the coffin, we can't walk at all, and more importantly, this ten meters is not a matter of one or two times, but to cross ninety-nine eighty-one times.
What to do?
After thinking for a while, I looked at Guo Yaozu and asked him, "If tung oil is poured on the ground, can you walk smoothly carrying the human skin coffin?" ”
As soon as these words came out, those soldier brothers exploded at once, saying that this was their lives, and they were unwilling to live or die, and even some short-tempered people threatened not to raise it.
This made me and Ge Hongchen look at each other, and no one spoke, mainly because at the end of the day, everyone was tired, and now if they pour tung oil, first say that their physical strength is almost to the limit, even if they are full of physical strength, they may not be able to walk in this nine-square grid full of tung oil.
At the moment, I discussed with Ge Hongchen for a while, but I didn't discuss the results, and in the end there was really no way, so Ge Hongchen silently lifted a few barrels of tung oil, and without saying a word, he poured it into the Jiugong grid suddenly.
The consequences of his actions are obvious, where can those soldier brothers care that he is the director of the Sixth Office, they scold, scolding everything, of course, taboo Ge Hongchen's identity, most people scold him for lacking morality, only those short-tempered soldier brothers scolded Ge Hongchen for cutting off children and grandchildren.
That Ge Hongchen was not angry, he continued to pour tung oil with his head stuffy, he originally wanted to ask those idle soldiers and brothers on the side to pour tung oil, but when their faces were wrong, Ge Hongchen didn't speak, and he carried a bucket of tung oil and poured it into the Jiugong grid.
After he finished pouring tung oil, the entire Jiugong grid, except for the place under our feet, other places were already covered with tung oil, and those soldiers and brothers scolded one by one, but it was only verbal scolding, and no one dared to move.
As soon as he saw this situation, Ge Hongchen didn't know where he learned the tricks of shrews, and pointed at those soldiers and scolded, "One by one, pour some tung oil and coward, if this is the case, I will go back and talk to your company commander, just say that you cowards are useless, how to hand over the security of the motherland to you cowards." ”
If you want to say that Ge Hongchen really has two brushes, especially those used to stimulate the generals, it is really stunned, and the flickering soldiers immediately shut up, and changed their faces one by one, saying that it was just a little tung oil What are you afraid of.
This made me cry and laugh, and I didn't speak, so I took a tentative step, just stepped on the tung oil, slipped under my feet, and almost didn't fall, but fortunately, I reacted quickly, and hurriedly used the spirit flag to keep my body balanced, which was spared, and my brain couldn't help but think of a note, remembering that when we carried the coffin on a snowy day, we would tie some thick hemp rope under our feet to prevent slipping, and now in this case, it is completely possible to do so.
I told Ge Hongchen a way.
After he heard this, he immediately beckoned someone to find the hemp rope, and in less than ten minutes, he found a bundle of hemp rope, which was as thick as a little thumb, and divided it for the soldiers who carried the coffin, and then asked people to tie a thick hemp rope under their feet, and the hemp rope under my feet was tied by Ge Hongchen himself.
Originally, with Ge Hongchen's identity, it was definitely not suitable to do this kind of thing, but he said that it was his ancestor who we were carrying, and he should personally tie hemp rope for us.
I understand what he means, the bones of his ancestors are indeed in the human skin coffin, and he is paying tribute to our eight immortals according to the identity of his descendants.
I was not polite, so I let him tie the hemp rope for me, after all, as the Eight Immortals, we can only be respected by others when we carry the coffin.
And those soldier brothers who carried the coffin, when they saw that Ge Hongchen personally tied the hemp rope to me, they were still a little emotional, and immediately closed their mouths, probably moved by Ge Hongchen's actions, you know, they know the weight of Ge Hongchen's identity better than me.
Ge Hongchen seemed to be very satisfied with this effect, and while tying my hemp rope for me, he said, "Xiao Jiu, I, Ge someone, entered the Tao at the age of six, and rarely bends down in others, today is enough to give you face, and I hope you don't let me down." ”
I nodded hurriedly and said, "Don't worry, I will do my best to carry the coffin this time." ”
He smiled, "I'm not talking about carrying the coffin this time, but in the future, I hope you carry the coffin as you do, don't overstep your authority, and don't get into other industries, so as not to suffer a catastrophe." ”
I don't understand the meaning, don't overstep? What are my rights? Don't get into other industries? For people like me, it's good to be able to do a good job in carrying coffins, so I said: "Don't worry, for now, Xiao Jiu has no plans to change industries." ”
He smiled, "I hope you remember today's words." ”
After speaking, he dedicated himself to tying hemp rope for me, it took about ** minutes, my feet were already tied with hemp rope, and I took a tentative step forward, not to mention, this hemp rope is very good, although it is a little slippery, but compared to before, this situation is much better.
