Chapter 60: Rhino
When I woke up the next day, I felt that I had a fever and felt uncomfortable, so I barely supported my body and took two pills. Cheng Hai told me that I had to go into the mountains today, and it would be too late if I didn't go, first, the weather cooled down quickly, and second, my body had reached the end of the crossbow, and I couldn't wait any longer.
I said weakly, "I'm afraid I'll die in the mountains." ”
Cheng Hai didn't speak for a long time, and sighed: "Little golden boy, let's do our best, life and death are up to heaven." ”
I cheered up, packed my backpack, brought everything I needed to bring, and said goodbye to the owner of the farmhouse and checked out. Sure enough, it's cold, there seems to be a cold air or something today, and the temperature is dropping quickly. The scarf I bought was a new one that protected my mouth and neck.
I had already surveyed the mountain road into the mountain, came out of the village, made a big circle, avoided the crowds, and came to the foot of the mountain. Seeing the majestic mountains in front of me, the mountain wind was cold, and my heart was really a little drumming. If you don't keep it, you won't be able to get out of the mountain this time.
Before going up the mountain, he called Wang Erdonkey. As soon as Wang Erdonkey heard my voice and asked how it was, I barely stabilized my mind and told him that I was about to enter the mountain, and whether I could do it or not depended on the result of entering the mountain this time.
I also told him that if I waited for a week, if I didn't give him information beyond a week, it would be death in the mountains, and I entrusted him to take care of my grandfather.
Wang Erdonkey gasped: "I said Lao Feng, don't be it, don't be so depressed." ”
"Also," I said in a low voice, "If you have the ability in the future, you must remember to find Sister Erya, rescue her, and avenge her." ”
Wang Erdonkey didn't speak for a long time, his tone became heavy, and he promised me, "Okay, don't worry!" ”
I hung up. There was a long mountain road in front of me, and I mustered up the courage to go up. It's still easy to walk for the first few hours, there are ready-made mountain roads in the mountains, just follow it.
After entering the hinterland of the mountain, I began to listen to Cheng Hai's command, and he knew the general location of the Eight Immortal Caves. While observing the terrain and directions, we had to walk very slowly over rocks and cliffs.
The mountain is very treacherous, and one of the roads is to climb down a cliff that is almost 90 degrees. My hands and feet were weak, the stones were mossy and slippery, and I almost fell to the bottom of the cliff, and I finally came down and was soaking wet.
Now I am exhausted to a critical point, my body is very cold, and my clothes are sweaty and steaming, and I can't talk about this sin.
Cheng Haidao: "Sect Leader Huang, this is almost it." ”
Huang Xiaotian said: "According to the observation of the earth's qi, the Eight Immortal Caves should be within a few miles of this. ”
I smiled wryly, "Where the hell is it?" ”
"Take your time." Huang Xiaotian said: "The Eight Immortal Caves, if they really exist, whether they can find it depends on chance, not everyone can bump into it." If you don't have the chance, even if it's right under your feet, you won't find out. ”
I smiled wryly, I didn't want to rub my tongue with him, I was so tired that I just wanted to sleep.
After walking for most of the day, it was already afternoon, the wind gradually decreased, and the sun was exposed. I picked up the mirror and saw that my lips were chapped and dark bags appeared under my eyes, and I looked like a terminally ill smoker.
I sat on a rock, I was too lazy to move a minute, no matter how Huang Xiaotian and Cheng Hai persuaded me, I couldn't walk. I told them I was going to rest.
I took out my makeshift tent and set it up on the ground. A gust of wind blew, and the tent crumbled. I moved my tent in, and reluctantly placed it behind a pile of rocks, which was sheltered from the wind, but it was cloudy and cold. I shivered into the tent, wearing only a jacket and my lips purple from the cold.
I ate something, fortunately I bought a few bottles of Erguotou, and it was so cold at night that I had to drink and go over.
Towards evening, I picked up some twigs from the mountains, worked them a little with a Swiss blade, poured kerosene on them, and lit them with a lighter. The flames were rising, and I sat on the stone to roast the fire, drinking the second pot head, and finally warmed up.
Cheng Hai and Huang Xiaotian discussed in what direction to look for. I sneered as I drank, they locked the range within a radius of a few miles, and don't forget, this is a mountain, not a flat road. The mountains are undulating and extremely steep, even if they are a few meters away, because of the gully chasm, they have to go around a very large road.
I estimate that if there is really a thousand-year-old cave, it will definitely not be easily discovered, and the entrance of the cave must be in an inscrutable place, either on a cliff or on a cliff. The rest of the way is to go.
I went to bed very early at night and woke up in the middle of the night, and the firewood outside had been extinguished. I looked at my watch, it was more than four o'clock in the morning, it was as dark as a pot lid, and there was only the sound of the cold mountain wind in my ears, and there was no other sound.
It is estimated that such a big mountain, only a fool like me is here.
I walked around with my shoulders crossed, looking at the night in the mountains, thinking that I would soon die in the mountains, and my heart swelled with a peace that I had never felt before.
It was dawn quickly, and I packed my things and got back on my way. How to go next depends entirely on luck. Cheng Hai and Huang Xiaotian couldn't give any specific opinions, so they knew that within a few miles of here, it was possible.
I picked the hardest places to walk, and the steeper I went, the more I went. At one o'clock in the afternoon, I went down to a cliff, and I regretted it when I went down. I was trapped in the middle of the cliff, and when I looked down at the dead trees, the branches were so sharp and hard that I probably wouldn't have been able to leave a whole body behind.
I crept forward cautiously against the cracks in the rocks, looking for my way up. There were many strange rocks, the stones were very hard, and they were very shallow on the ground, and the fingernails I grabbed were bloody and did not climb up.
The mountain wind was getting stronger and stronger, my fingers were stiff, and I clung to the cliff wall, looking at the smoke and clouds in the distance, and my mind was in a trance, and I wanted to jump.
Huang Xiaotian hurriedly shouted: "My ancestor, it's okay if you die by yourself, don't go down with us." ”
I trembled all over, and my lips trembled violently: "Huang, Sect Leader Huang, Sect Leader Cheng, I can't stand it anymore, I really can't hold on." ”
Cheng Hai sighed: "Forget it, don't suffer from this crime." Little golden boy, when you get back to the top of the cliff, let's go down. You still have a few days to go, you shouldn't spend time in this place, you should try something you haven't tried before. ”
Huang Xiaotian smiled: "He hasn't tasted a woman yet." In such a short period of time, where to find a woman, is it to go to the bathing center? ”
Cheng Hai also smiled: "I don't object. ”
I leaned against the cliff wall, the coldness invaded the cracks in my bones, and I reluctantly smiled: "You are all cultivators, how can you still encourage such a thing?" ”
"The premise of controlling desires is to face up to desires." Cheng Hai said.
"That's right." Huang Xiaotian said: "Da Luo Jinxian didn't say that men were not allowed to find women. As long as you are willing, you will not violate the way of heaven. ”
"Good. I'll look for it when I get back. "I suddenly had the strength to climb up the cliff, gritting my teeth to overcome the difficult places. Bow your head and hurry, don't look at your feet, crawl and crawl back to it unconsciously. I sat on the ground, paralyzed, looking at the sea of clouds in the distance, not to mention the sense of detachment.
I lay on the ground, the ground was cold, and I didn't care about it, looking at the spotless blue sky, I felt like I had broken free from my body, and it seemed to be ethereal and flying.
I fell asleep unconsciously, woke up from freezing, and when I opened my eyes, there were already stars above me. I heard my grandfather say that the better the weather, the more you can see the stars. I looked at the starry sky with relief and counted how many there were.
Later, I struggled to get up from the ground, and I was so weak that I couldn't walk.
I climbed and rolled and climbed many times before I got up, and walked slowly against the trees around me to find a place that was still sheltered from the wind. With the last of my strength, I set up the tent and then got inside, hugging my knees tightly and curling into a ball.
I reluctantly took out the second pot head and poured it into my mouth in a big gulp, and it was hot from my throat to my stomach. Later, I fell asleep in a daze. I slept until midnight, I woke up from freezing, I was so uncomfortable that I didn't want to open my eyes, so I felt in my pocket and took out a lighter from it, and took out another thing, but I couldn't figure out what it was.
I didn't open my eyes, completely subconsciously, and used a lighter to light the thing. A flame ignited, and it seemed to glow green.
I was half asleep and half awake, and I heard Huang Xiaotian shouting in my mind: "This is a rhino photo? ”
I shuddered violently and woke up completely. Rubbing my eyes, I saw what was burning, and it turned out to be the woman's ear left behind by the ghost hall incense boy I found.
Flames burned on the tips of the ears, glowing a faint green light that burned like candles.
I was completely sober. It immediately became clear that the correct way to use this thing is to use fire to ignite it and let it burn.
"Rhino? What is that? I asked.
Huang Xiaotian said: "There is a saying in ancient times that lighting a rhinoceros horn candle can meet gods and ghosts, commonly known as rhino photos. I wondered, "No, I can communicate with you and Sect Master Cheng, and sometimes I will see you, without the help of rhinoceros horns." ”
"Rhino Zhao is just a similar concept," Cheng said, "referring to unusual spiritual objects, not necessarily ghosts." Think of it as a candle that illuminates something special in the dark. ”
I understood, "The people of the Onido used the method of 'kun' corpses, and it turned out that they made candles from corpses. No, you're talking about rhinoceros horns, and this is human bones. ”
After being silent for a while, Huang Xiaotian asked Cheng Hai: "Sect Master Cheng, you are a breeze and smoke soul, and the things of gods and ghosts are your strength, what do you think?" ”
Cheng Hai pondered: "I have an idea, but it needs to be proved by experiments." ”
