Chapter 14: Riding the Clouds (Part II)

Chen Blind and Kunlun Mole two, down less than a few feet, it just so happened that there is an ancient pine in the rock crevice on the stone wall, two bamboo ladders hanging together were blocked by pine trees, "centipede hanging mountain ladder" are made of special bamboo tubes, the toughness is wonderful, the two of them each grabbed one end, were suspended in the air, the two bamboo ladders were suddenly pulled into a curved bow by the gravity of the fall, trembling slightly, the two bodies fell together like a scale, four legs in the deep stream of clouds out of thin air, I wanted to step on the uneven place on the mountain wall to stabilize my body, but the mountain wall was full of green moss, and when I stepped on it, a mark slipped, and the stone chips and green moss fell one after another, and the situation was extremely dangerous.

Without waiting for the two of them to move again, the front end of the bamboo ladder of the blind man Chen couldn't bear the strength, a muffled sound broke into two, although the dumb man was still hanging on the pine tree, but the blind man Chen fell down again, this time there was no cover, only the sound of the whirring wind was heard in his ears, and the "buzzing" sound in his head became blank in an instant, but the blind Chen had worked hard for 20 years since he was a child, and practiced a light skill based on the waist horse of the southern school.

In the process of his fall, he saw that the gap between the rock faces of the mountain walls on both sides was getting narrower and narrower, and the big crack on the "bottle mountain" was about to end, fortunately, in the face of danger, his heart was not so chaotic that he lost his mind, and he knew very well that if he hesitated at this moment, his head would hit the stone first, he was in mid-air and poured his whole body strength into his waist and legs, and slammed the "centipede hanging ladder" that was always tightly held in his hand, and with the harsh sound of bamboo rubbing against the rock, it was repeatedly stirred, and the "centipede hanging ladder" used its length and toughness, It was stuck between the two mountain walls that had been retracted.

Chen Blind hung under the bamboo ladder, feeling that the world was spinning, both hands were cut out of the broken bamboo billet many holes, and just now when the "centipede hanging mountain ladder" was thrown horizontally, he frustrated his arm, almost did not fall off the ring, at this time it seemed that the two arms had been separated from the body, except for a burst of numbness, he didn't feel pain at all.

This "centipede hanging ladder" has already played its own effect several times more, and at this moment it is the end of the strong man, and his body hangs for a while longer, and the ladder must be broken. So he hurriedly used his last bit of strength to climb back to the ladder, there was only a small convex rock nearby to stand on, and without thinking about it, he immediately stood up, opened his arms, and pressed flat against the cold rock wall, and recited wildly in his heart several times: "Master Zu has appeared." ”

Blind Chen slowed down for a moment, calmed down a little, looked at the front and back, and thought to himself, where is he now? Up and down left and right are all white hazy mist, the front and back sides are steep mountain walls, the following is far from the end, but look at the trend of the cracks in the stone mountain, not to mention that there are more than ten zhang deep below to be able to close Long, because when going up and down, in order to seek the gap of the rock crack and turquoise to hang the mountain, it is not necessarily the direction of going straight up and down, this fall down has been far away from the main hall in the ancient tomb.

The air at the bottom of the mountain is still a little cold and cold, the stone wall is full of slippery green moss, according to his estimates, there are more than ten zhang of height from the bottom of the big rock crevice, and the visible distance in the white fog is only more than ten steps, even if there is a night eye, you can't see the terrain below, take your nose and smell the smell of burning in the ancient tomb, you know the approximate direction, it is more than ten zhang away from here, and it is estimated that the bottom of this mountain crack is not a stone or a narrower gap, jumping down is equivalent to looking for your own death, the most fatal thing is that the "centipede hanging mountain ladder" has almost dispersed, Can no longer be used.

Chen Blind looked up again, in this deep crack did not see the light of day at all, and there was not much sound here, it was impossible to shout loudly to inform the dumb and others, and the people above looked down and shouted He couldn't hear it, the only convex rock on the cliff that could accommodate him was narrow and steep, and he had to open his body and stick to the mountain wall to gain a foothold, and his legs and feet were sore after standing for a while, and the secret path was not good, even if his subordinates came to the rescue, and when they climbed here step by step, the cucumber vegetables were also cold.

Chen Blind knows in his heart, now that he has entered a desperate situation, he can maintain this posture at most to stand on the mountain wall for a cup of kung fu, when the time comes, the legs are weak, you have to plant your head to the bottom, before falling to death, you can have two choices, the first is to wait for rescue, but the far water does not quench the thirst, can not expect the rest of the thieves to find themselves in time, the other is to rely on their own skills, find a place to climb, climb down to the bottom of the big crack, see if there is a road on both sides of the mountain.

After a little thought, he had already figured out that if he wanted to survive, he had to rely on himself, and the longer the time dragged on, the more unfavorable it became, and he endured the soreness of his waist and legs, and looked at the nearby mountain rocks, trying to find the next foothold, so that he could gradually descend to the bottom, but the fog was too thick, and the distance was all shrouded in the fog, but under the left side, there was a shadow looming in the white mist, and if you recognized it carefully, it looked like a crooked-necked pine tree growing on the mountain wall.

In order to determine whether the place can bear him, Chen Blind first picked off a piece of gravel and threw it over, the stone hit the trunk and made a "pop" sound, and then the stone rolled down again, and it took a long time before the sound of the stone falling to the ground, and then pinched the distance, hanging in the air and could not run, and the certainty of jumping directly was not great, but except for the crooked neck pine tree in the fog, all around were almost straight up and down the mountain wall, and there was no rest of the place to settle, the hands and feet have become more and more sore, and if you spend a while, you will definitely die.

Due to holding a posture for a long time, Chen's blind legs have begun to tremble, he gritted his teeth, decided to jump to the crooked neck pine tree in a desperate gamble, closed his eyes and let himself relax as much as possible, and planned to jump out first, step on the "centipede hanging ladder" stuck in the mountain gap, and then jump to the farthest crooked neck pine, which is the safest, but the premise is that the "centipede hanging ladder" can still withstand his step.

Neither physical strength nor time allowed him to think about it anymore, Chen Blind put the word life and death out of the way, took a deep breath, gently supported his hands on the wall, stepped out sideways, and flew to the "centipede hanging mountain ladder".

As soon as the sole of his foot stepped on the bamboo ladder, he immediately sank down sharply, and the bamboo ladder was stepped into a curved bow, and the only remaining toughness bounced Chen Blind, and then the "centipede hanging mountain ladder" clicked from the disconnection and fell into the depths of the chaotic clouds and fog.
