Chapter 13: Cracks in the Cliff Wall

The little beggar looked up at the bare cliff face and was looking for a route to climb. But what are you thinking about? A few minutes later, he took the rope handed over by Dong Tinghua and climbed up on his back!

The rope weighs more than a dozen catties, and the thin little beggar looks more difficult to carry on his back!

Everyone's eyes were firmly fixed on the little beggar climbing on the cliff!

The whole cliff is about 200 meters high, and the height of the crack from the ground is about 50 meters, and it is difficult to find a foothold on the steep cliff!

Even the monkeys can't reach the cliffs, and the little beggar miraculously slowly approaches the crack ・・・・・・!

The descendants of the Yaomin family have to endure unbearable hard training since they were young!

Rock climbing is exquisite; Arm strength, finger strength, waist strength, leg strength, endurance and movement skills.

The little beggar likes to climb rocks, because he is a descendant of the Yaomin family, and every time he conquers a cliff, he will have a great sense of accomplishment in his heart, otherwise he will not easily agree to Zhou Tianyi's request!

The little beggar is lighter and has strong arm strength, but it is still a little powerless to face such a steep mountain for the first time, not to mention that he has to carry a rope weighing more than ten catties. There is often only one way to climb freehand in the wilderness, and that is to move forward...

When you're halfway up the climb, it's harder to retreat than to climb up・・・・・・!

According to the statistics of the Hanerson Wilderness Survival Club in the United States; As many as 100 enthusiasts die every year from wild climbing, and 98% of them die from climbing. Retreat halfway, fall off the cliff while retreating, and die or be disabled・・・・・!

{Life is only courageous, everything in front of you and me is under the eyes of you, when you retreat, can you still see the danger behind you, life is rock climbing, when you choose to continue to climb up, you have succeeded, when you choose to retreat, can you still see the danger under your feet!} }

Suddenly, the little beggar stopped climbing and lay motionless on the cliff ・・・・・・!

The three people under the cliff looked at the little beggar with concern!

"Little ・・・・・・!" Dong Tinghua was just about to shout, but was slapped on the head by Zhou Tianyi, and turned his head angrily to stare at Zhou Tianyi: "You ・・・・・・!" ”

"Smack!" Another slap in the face.

"Shh・・・・・・h Zhou Tianyi pointed to the little beggar lying on the cliff wall.

Dong Tinghua, who was angry, suddenly realized and nodded, remembering the taboo of rock climbing; The most taboo thing for rock climbers is to be disturbed halfway, and every wild rock climbing is a challenge to the limit of life, which is equivalent to turning around in the ghost gate!

Dong Tinghua was going to scream on the ground at this time, the little beggar's concentration was disturbed by the outside world, and it was very likely that he would fall off the cliff and die!

Zhou Tianyi, Dong Tinghua, and Miao Weiqiang were nervous, looking at the little beggar lying motionless on the rock wall worriedly, what difficulties did he encounter?

The little beggar lay on the rock wall with his eyes slightly closed, adjusting his rapid breathing, he had climbed many peaks and cliffs with his bare hands, but the highest was only thirty meters, or under the coercion of his father, he climbed up under the lure, when the little beggar who climbed to the top of the cliff looked down the mountain, cold sweat broke out. How did I climb up so high? The little beggar who climbed to the top of the cliff forgot how he climbed up, which shows how focused the climber's spirit is when climbing!

There was no foothold on the cliff wall in front of him, and after observing the route ahead, the little beggar decided to move two to three meters to the right and change the climbing route!

The little beggar tried to move his body two or three meters to the right!

When climbing, climbers stand on the ground, analyze the cliffs, and settle in that place, which is suitable for recuperation. This must be calculated under the cliff, and the relatively high cliff will also use special equipment such as telescopes!

Due to the high cliff body, it is difficult to see the cliff above when standing on the ground, and the little beggar has no special equipment, so it is difficult to analyze the climbing route in advance, which is why he stands at the bottom of the cliff and frowns and thinks!

It is very difficult to move in parallel on the cliff face, much more difficult than climbing upwards, and the little beggar has to stay for a long time for each location ・・・・・・!

More than two hours passed, and the little beggar finally climbed the crack in the cliff. The crack was wide, and inside was a cave, pitch black, like a huge mouth, ready to devour everything!

The little beggar lay panting in the crack as if he had collapsed, and said to himself, "TMD, how did Lao Tzu climb up!" ”

The three people under the mountain cheered and admired, this is simply a miracle, and it is good to admire the little beggar!

The little beggar rested for about a quarter of an hour. Look for a place in the crack where you can hold the rope in place. I didn't look at the crack carefully just now, but when I looked closely, I was shocked that there were traces of artificial excavation in this crack, and there were some rusty and rotten iron tools next to it!

A deep stone trough leads to the depths of the crack, and there is a bright red liquid ・・・・・ in the stone trough!

The little beggar standing at the mouth of the crack cave looked at the dark cave with an inexplicable and wonderful fear, and the cave seemed to be about to devour itself.

Drop the rope and hoist it up to equip ・・・・・・!

Zhou Tianyi, Dong Tinghua took a lot of 'strength' to climb into the crack of the cliff, and a trace of inexplicable fear also rose in his heart・・・・・・!

"There are people here, and there are traces of excavation, these iron tools should be a long time ago!" Zhou Tianyi bent down to pick up the iron on the ground as he spoke, and when his hand touched the iron, it instantly turned into powder.

Three, surprised, questioned!?

Who dug this cave? Why did they choose such a high crack? These iron tools are not like digging tools, what are they used for?

The three of them took out their equipment, each wearing a miner's lamp on their heads, a dagger pinned to their waists, and a few bright light sticks. The little beggar was holding an air gun with little lethality, Dong Tinghua was holding a bottle of gasoline, and Zhou Tianyi was carrying a Taoist Qiankun bag on his shoulder.

Zhou Tianyi took out a 'compass' and stood at the mouth of the crack cave, the compass in the compass pointed to the black cave, the direction of the cave is due north, so it is the reversal of yin and yang, and the cave also belongs to the 'semi-underworld', which may contain 'evil' things!

semi-underworld; The Book of Changes records that the cathode has yang and the anode has yin! It is also the yin deficiency hidden in the extreme yang.

Friends who like to read the I Ching should know! In the yin and yang pisces in the Bagua diagram, there is yin deficiency in yang and yang deficiency in yin. This 'semi-underworld' is the yin deficiency in the extreme yang.

After thinking for a moment, he took out two talismans from the Qiankun bag and folded them into a triangle!

"Put it on, there might be something unclean in the hole!" Zhou Tianyi handed the two Dao talismans to the two of them.

"God stick, you drew this talisman, does it work!" Dong Tinghua asked.

"Hmph, don't finish it!"

Miao Weiqiang saw that all three of them entered the crack, and stood below and shouted, "Be careful・・・・・・!" ”

The three of them didn't hear what Miao Weiqiang shouted, smiled and waved his hand at Miao Weiqiang under the cliff, and walked towards the crack hole!

The dark cave is gloomy!

At the mouth of the crack hole, there are two statues, the stone carvings are about three meters high, the carvings are lifelike, the expressions are three-pointed, but the faces are full of anger. The whole of the two statues is connected to the cliff wall of the mountain, which was carved by the ancients on the stone wall with local materials!

The two stone carvings are different!

As we all know, whether it is a temple, a Taoist temple, a city god temple, etc., most of the stone carvings placed at the entrance are two identical statues. However, the two stone carvings here have different shapes!

Statue of the cave on the right; With angry eyes, one foot stepped on the back of a fierce tiger, and the tiger fell to the ground like a begging kitten!

Statue of the cave on the left; He has a solemn expression and a 'snake' wrapped around his neck, but judging from the carved image, he is more like the legendary 'dragon'!

The two statues at the entrance of the cave also correspond to the saying 'left green dragon, right white tiger'.

The three of them stayed at the mouth of the crack cave for a while, and continued to walk towards the cave ・・・・・・!

At the entrance of the cave, you can still hear the whirring wind, the birds in the forest, and when you enter the dark cave, there is an indescribable depression. It's like stepping into ・・・・・・ bottomless abyss!

It's so quiet that you can clearly hear the sound of three people breathing!

The strong light of the miner's lamp on his head played a certain role in the cave, alleviating a trace of fear for the three of them, and the little beggar held an air gun in both hands, vigilantly observing the surrounding environment!

Zhou Tianyi has been paying attention to the compass pointer in his hand・・・・・!

Dong Tinghua looked curiously at the statues on both sides of the cave road・・・・・!

In the cave, there are traces of artificial excavation everywhere, and there are many statues of different shapes carved on the rock wall in the corridor, and the only thing they have in common is that they are lifelike, and the expressions of each statue are vivid and vivid!

The floor of the tunnel was artificially smooth, and the bleeding groove spread all the way to the depths of the cave!

After the three of them walked along the corridor for about fifty or sixty meters, a stone carved gate appeared in front of them!

The carving on the stone door made Zhou Tianyi fall into contemplation・・・・・・・?
