Chapter 65: The Unexpected
Chapter 65 is unexpected
I searched around again, and the traces left by the team were completely cut off here, that is to say, the team of the ghost hands had never come out at all since they entered the Cockscomb Ridge! So...... Where did so many of them go? No matter how bad it is, it won't wipe out the whole army! I looked at the great crack that was constantly bubbling out, and a thought suddenly arose that sent chills through my heart: they had gone down from here!
After thinking about it, I went back to the crack on the edge of the Cockscomb Ridge, leaned down, and lay on the edge of the crack to look down, the thick fog was rolling below, faintly accompanied by the sound of the wind, the visibility was very low, I couldn't see it really, and I didn't know how deep it was below.
I thought about it, and I just came up with the stupidest way, to pick a few banana leaves around, and put them together as a pu fan, this is a stupid way, you fan, and the fog below immediately fills in that, and it doesn't give people a chance to see below at all. In order to win a chance, I tried my best to fan under the crack, and finally, just before the fog was about to rise, I suddenly saw that the crack was completely sunken down, and the narrow road surface of Jiguanling was like a row of plank roads, which was actually suspended above the crack!
Don't...... There's a hole down there?! I shook the banana leaf in my hand again, but I couldn't see what was going on, but if the team really went down from the Cockscomb Ridge into the crack, then there was one place that was most likely!
But after curiosity overcomes fear, people's hearts are not so much afraid, I carefully picked up the stone wall, the body is close to the mountain, since I saw the road under my feet is hanging on the cracks, my heart also began to weaken, finally came to the place where the pool of blood just now, I gritted my teeth, picked up the plantain in my hand and fanned it down, but this time, it didn't take much effort for me to see, there were two steel bars nailed under the road, and there was a soft ladder on it, which was the kind of rope made on both sides of the zero hour, A ladder with a stick attached to it in the middle.
Sure enough, they went down to the bottom of the crack! My eyes lit up, swallowed my saliva, took a deep breath, turned over and grabbed the soft ladder below, the whole person hung on the soft ladder and swayed in mid-air, fortunately, the fog was thick, if there was no fog to cover my vision, I looked down at a glance, and I was either scared to death or fell to death!
As soon as I went down about two meters, I suddenly noticed that there was a horizontal soft ladder below, and the ends were fixed and parallel to the road above.
The figure of the person passing under the road and the sound of coughing echoed in my head just now, and it turned out that there was really someone down there! Who could it be? And what is the reason for them to pull a soft ladder horizontally like this? I don't understand, looking at the two soft ladders, one horizontal and one vertical, I suddenly can't make up my mind.
At this moment, a cough suddenly came from the fog next to me, very clear, no more than five meters away from me.
My heart tightened, I grabbed the firewood knife in my hand, slowly climbed to the soft ladder hanging horizontally, and touched it in the direction where the sound came from!
The silhouette of a man was faintly visible in the thick fog ahead, and I could only tell that there was indeed a person in front of me, but I couldn't tell who he was.
"Are you from the Zhang family or the Mo family? Why are you here alone? I didn't dare to get too close, so I stopped two or three meters away from the figure and asked him.
Who knows, when I asked, the man rushed out like a frightened hare, and the sound and shadow were completely hidden in the mist, leaving only a series of coughing sounds like exhaust fans.
I really want to slap myself, this stinky mouth, my heart is back, my feet are not idle, I chased after the black shadow, I can't chase after two steps, I can't run on this hanging soft ladder at all, but the figure is extremely fast, like a monkey climbing the mountains all year round, where can I catch up!
After going back and forth, I had to go back to the vertical soft ladder and go down, and when I looked up, I suddenly found a lot of long black strips under the road, hanging in rows under the road, stretching into the depths of the fog, I don't know how many.
I climbed up again to take a closer look, the more I climbed up, the stronger the bad premonition in my heart, those long strips of things slowly became clear in the line of sight, it was a square wooden box, I climbed two more steps, and then my legs and feet stagnated, and the ominous premonition in my heart was strong to the extreme! There is nothing else hanging under the pavement, it is a coffin! Hanging coffin!!
I didn't dare to climb any further, I only felt a little more chill in the fog around me, and in the invisible fog, there seemed to be a lot more eyes, hiding and staring at my every move! My only thought at the moment was to catch up with the group, so I shivered and cautiously descended the soft ladder.
I don't know how long I walked, I don't know how far I fell, the light around me slowly dimmed, my hands and feet trembled a little, and climbing the soft ladder was actually very physically demanding. I hung on the soft ladder and gasped for breath, gasped twice, and shouted a few more times downward, far away through the cracks, and the only answer I had was my own echo.
I looked up again, and I couldn't see the way I came, and I hesitated whether to continue down or climb up and go back the way I came, but neither seemed likely in my current situation......
It would be nice if the ghost hand and Lao Liu were there, I sighed in my heart, and I was going to rest for a while to recover my strength, at this moment, there was a sound above, I looked up, but my face was cold, and a drop of water dripped on my face, sliding down my cheek. I reached out and touched it, and what I saw was a touch of red, and what I smelled was a fishy smell!
Blood! I was shocked in my heart, and I couldn't take a break, so I hurriedly crawled down, and my hands and feet were not so obedient in my heart, and as soon as my feet slipped empty-handed, the whole person fell down, and my mind was blank - it's over!
Just when I thought I was going to explain here today, my falling body slammed, the huge falling force seemed to tear my arm off, I don't know when there was a rancid smell around me, I didn't react, only to see a dry hand grabbed me, the man was very thin, the hand was like a chicken's paw, but the force was terrifying, like an iron tong, grabbing my body without moving.
The hand lifted me to the soft ladder, and I grabbed the soft ladder tightly, and wrapped my feet around the rope with anxiety, and then I looked up in horror to see the owner of the hand.
Bronze Mask! It turned out to be him!
"It's you?!" I exclaimed.
The bronze mask looked at me without speaking, and after a long while, a low, hoarse voice came from inside the mask:
"Your father, not your father."
His words made me stunned, I carefully sorted out my thoughts, my heart was a little angry, and I was about to question him, but before I could speak, the bronze masked man spoke again:
"Your mother, not your mother." 、
"You are talking nonsense, what evidence do you have? How could you possibly know about my family! "I almost yelled at him.
"Your father doesn't know Lubanshu at all." The bronze mask's voice was still hoarse, as if everything he told had nothing to do with him, he was just a pure presenter, and that tone made me a little scared, afraid that what he said was the truth, as Yu Hua said, human beings can't stand too much truth.
"If my father doesn't know Lubanshu, then, how can I?" I asked rhetorically.
The bronze masked man didn't answer, and the surroundings were surprisingly quiet, and the atmosphere was a little frozen, but this didn't seem that he was irrefutable, on the contrary, it was more like he was saying, it's like this, you believe it or not.
If my dad doesn't know Luban at all, then he can't teach me, then...... Maybe there is something else to hide, I comfort myself in my heart, the vague remnants of my childhood, my mother sewing and mending under the oil lamp, the few bits of red under the candlelight, we can hardly see, my father always likes to hold me high above his head, as if I am his sun...... All of this reminds me that what the Bronze Mask Man said is false, and memory can't deceive people!
I took a deep breath and looked at the hollow eye frame on the bronze mask:
"Who the hell are you?"
The bronze mask was silent for a moment, as if wondering if to tell me who he really was. I didn't rush, I watched him quietly, waiting for him to give an answer.
"I'm ...... Lv Hao. ”
My thoughts suddenly set off turbulent waves, and the answer he gave me that I was looking forward to was something I didn't expect, even if I wanted to break my head, I couldn't think of it, the bronze mask man was actually Lu Hao, the leader of the exploration team ten years ago!
After that, my brain was a little trance, and I followed Lu Hao to climb down the soft ladder, the more I went down, the darker it became, and when I looked down, there was a piece of black hole, and the more I went down, the more the light could not shine in, and the fog became thicker, and Lu Hao and I couldn't see each other's figures clearly.
I asked Lu Hao what they went through back then, he didn't say a word about it, and I didn't want to ask again, I didn't say anything all the way, but there was one more person, and my heart was much more steady.
"Hurry up, let's ...... There's something! Lu Hao said anxiously. I was chilled, and my brain didn't dare to be in a trance, because I could feel a chill pressing down on it!
I didn't dare to slack off, I gritted my teeth and climbed down with all my energy, the top was getting colder and colder, the light was getting darker and darker, and I didn't know if it was dark outside or the light was blocked and couldn't shine in.
"Hurry up!" There was Lu Rush's voice behind me, and I heard a rustling sound above, and a lot of unknown things were coming towards us at a very fast speed!
Lu Hao and I couldn't take care of it so much, grabbed the ropes on both sides and slid down, the speed was a lot faster, the skin of the hands was also worn out a lot, and the blood gushed out, soaking the rope blood red.
Suddenly, the soles of my feet were empty, and I grabbed the wooden stick in the middle of the soft ladder with both hands, forcing myself to stop, and at the same time shouting to Lu Hao above: "Stop!" The soft ladder is over!! ”
