174 Ascending the Road to Heaven Soul Ladder
The team of eight people is finally gathered, except for Zakana Qi, who was slightly injured, everyone else is also safe and sound, which is already a blessing in misfortune, I really don't know how long this luck will stay, Liao Dongfeng also hopes to be so lucky.
The place from afar has been completely buried by snow, and it seems that it is impossible to go back the way it came, even if it is really used to use the Dijiang River to clear the snow, it will really take a bit of effort to climb to the ground afterwards.
After discussing with Su He's episode, Liao Dongfeng decided to continue to move along the underground crack belt, after all, what is in front of him is a smooth road, and no one will be stupid enough to go to the ground to suffer.
The earthquake has passed, and the ground at this time can still occasionally feel slight aftershocks, looking at the surrounding cliffs are unattainable, Liao Dongfeng's eyes fell on the place he saw before.
Since there are traces of artificial polishing here, then there must be some to be found not far from here, maybe this earthquake also tore apart the blood cave of the corpse mountain, and this huge crack in the ground also leads to the depths of the blood cave.
The group gathered their equipment and continued to drive forward, but what they saw next confirmed their previous judgment.
As we move forward, some artificially constructed facilities are also being seen.
Most of these facilities are also used for ordinary life, and they can only be counted to indicate that there was a civilization here.
As we continue to go deeper, a thirteen-storey attic appears between the cliffs, and the wood and stone structure of the attic is also badly damaged, but the overall scale and style can be seen when it was first built.
Trying to pass under the attic, Liao Dongfeng also picked up the fallen wood on the attic to observe.
It was found that these wooden strips were erected in strict accordance with the Luban mortise and tenon structure, and the outer walls of the wooden strips seemed to have been coated with antiseptic materials, coupled with the style of the attic and the degree of decay of the wood, it is estimated that this should be a work from 2,000 years ago.
Haichen also looked at the attic in a daze at this time, he also held a tile carved with patterns in his hand, and he couldn't stop muttering.
"The cornices, the high span, the carving, the scale, whatever it is, are in line with the characteristics of the architecture of the Qin Dynasty, and this must be the architecture of the Qin Dynasty. However, this is thousands of kilometers to Xianyang, the capital of the Qin Dynasty, and the road is not a smooth road, the dog emperor is full of food and support to build a building so far away? ”
"Xianyang City and Afang Palace have all been burned down, and even the Lishan Mausoleum is full of holes, do you think the first emperor may have built a nest a hundred years later nearby? You don't care if he's full or not, let's hurry and get on the road, we must have a safe place to stay tonight. ”
After listening to Liao Dongfeng's words, Haichen and the others continued to move forward, and at the same time, Su He's episode still paid close attention to Doer's every move.
After passing through the attic, the ground in front of me slowly began to rise, and then countless long steps appeared, and the number of hundreds of thousands was more than that.
The cliffs on both sides of the long staircase are flat on one side, but the other side is covered with frost, and the steps under the frost are also frozen, smooth as a mirror, and if you are not careful, you may fall and then roll all the way down.
Looking at the long staircase, Peng Jianjun opened his eyes, and heard him say: "Dog Emperor, can't you let Lao Tzu walk a good way?" Why do you have so many steps? ”
Liao Dongfeng immediately replied after hearing this: "He also wants to ascend to the sky in one step, but then he doesn't feel a little fantastical, isn't this just gradual?" What is atmosphere? That's the atmosphere. ”
After listening to this, Peng Jianjun looked at the exit at the far end, and then sighed: "It is estimated that after walking this long-level Laozi, he will also become an immortal, don't say it, I really feel like going to the sky." ”
Hearing this, everyone also smiled, and didn't say anything else, Liao Dongfeng also poured a sip of mare's milk wine, and then took the lead in the long steps.
At the beginning, everyone still felt full of physical strength, and the height of each step was acceptable, Liao Dongfeng had time to look left and right, and also found the six big characters of Qin Seal written on the wall, 'Ascending the Heavenly Road, Hooking the Soul Ladder'.
Then he continued to walk up the stairs, and the cold air that rushed down made everyone's mouths full of frost, and when they heard the howling of the wind, their body temperature dropped sharply, even if they kept exercising, it was useless.
Cold is cold, this is a true portrayal of the aftermath of a snowstorm in the Pamirs, as long as you keep exercising, you don't necessarily get frozen.
Peng Jianjun also wanted to pour a few sips of mare's milk wine to keep out the cold at this time, but when he picked up the wine jug, he found that it had already frozen into ice cubes, and the round mouth of the wine jug also stuck to his lips, until a piece of skin was torn off.
"Your uncle's ghost weather, do you want to freeze to death?"
"You shout, the more you shout, the greater the physical exertion, and the faster you die, I wish you will soon become an immortal."
An Yuemin's words also amused everyone else, and temporarily relieved the tense atmosphere, and everyone also desperately went up, although they all knew that they were out of the long rank, and they were facing more serious challenges.
Time passed little by little, everyone was tired enough, and they also continued to walk up on the relatively flat side of the wall, the reason why they didn't dare to support the other side was entirely because both the wall and the steps were very slippery, and it was cold to the bone.
Liao Dongfeng looked down at the watch that had been stopped for a long time at this time, and simply took it off and smashed it.
Su He's episode saw him smash his watch, and immediately said: "It is said that the watch can't move near Gonger Mountain, and even the planes in the sky have fallen a lot, and you can see it when you go out." ”
After listening to him, Liao Dongfeng glanced up at the exit, at this time he felt that it was still so far from the exit, and then looked back at the road he had walked, and then glanced at the six larger Qin seals on the wall, his gaze suddenly became dull.
"Hey! Don't rush up and look back? I kind of know what the Soul Ladder is all about. ”
After listening to his words, everyone looked back, only to see that they had walked through the long stairs and extended to the dark underground, and they could not see the ground they had passed through at all, and then looked back at the exit, and found that the distance was still as far away as it was at the beginning.
Everyone was stunned, and at the same time looked at Liao Dongfeng, hoping to understand everything from his mouth.
Seeing that the temperature was still dropping sharply and there was a danger of freezing at any time, Liao Dongfeng also swept everyone's faces one by one, and then said: "Keep walking, don't stop, Lao Tzu will go to you if he finds out." ”
"It can't be a hallucination, right? Altitude sickness has this phenomenon. ”
After Peng Jianjun finished speaking, Liao Dongfeng grabbed his collar and said: "Don't talk nonsense, if you don't want to die, keep going, if you want to die, stay where you are." ”
After saying that, he walked to Suhe's side, and the two discussed for a while and began to move.
At first, the two of them also walked forward with the others, and after walking for a while, the two of them found out.
The height of the steps became higher and higher, the sides became wider and wider, and even the Qin seal font that kept appearing on the wall became larger and larger.
"Isn't that right? Are we getting smaller? ”
After listening to Su He's question, Haichen in front also turned around and reminded: "Dongzi, there are ghosts on this road, I feel like we have become smaller." ”
"By the way, I also feel like I've gotten smaller, and the steps are too high, so I guess I won't be able to climb up in the end?"
After hearing this, Liao Dongfeng also glanced back and forth, and finally his eyes fell on the big characters on the wall, and he said: "Don't care about everything in front of you, this is all a means to mislead the public, it's not that we have become smaller, but the steps are indeed much higher." ”
"But it still seems to be so far from the exit!"
"Let me think, let me think calmly."
After Liao Dongfeng finished speaking, he measured the distance between the walls on both sides with big strides, and then took out the rope and tied it to his waist, and the other end of the rope was tied to Peng Jianjun's waist.
The two widened the distance and got close to the wall, and at this time they heard Liao Dongfeng say: "Just keep this distance unchanged, you go yours, leave me alone." ”
Peng Jianjun was also obedient, just walked his way, and walked for nearly 10 minutes before Liao Dongfeng hurriedly shouted: "Don't go, we TM let people play." ”
Hearing Liao Dongfeng shout, everyone also stopped, and then listened to his explanation.
It turns out that when everyone was full of energy at the beginning, they didn't care about anything else at all, so they didn't make this mistake.
And when everyone felt tired, they unconsciously held on to the flat side of the wall and continued to move forward, the reason why Liao Dongfeng asked Peng Jianjun to stop was because he suddenly felt a tightness on his waist, that is to say, the long steps were not straight, and he unconsciously changed direction.
People have the phenomenon of visual fatigue, the distant exit is very far, the more tired the body, the more tired the heart, and the irritable state of mind also leads to the generation of illusions, and unconsciously they have set themselves up.
In addition, the Qin seal font continues to appear on the wall, and the steps are also helped to raise at this time, which also causes the human body to be more tired, and thus the heart is more and more irritable, so that it is easier to fall into the trap and start to say that he has become smaller.
After listening to Liao Dongfeng's explanation, Haichen also nodded in agreement and said, "I understand a little bit when I hear you say this, this is not only a number game, but also a sensory game!" The ancients were also really, great wisdom! ”
"Great wisdom is a fart, can this little trick still be difficult to stop Lao Tzu? The road to heaven, the ladder to hook the soul, the ghost to go, right? But it's true, I hope you can climb it! ”
After saying that, he took out the bayonet, and then left a large fork on the steps, and then each step was marked with a fork, and everyone did not need to look at how long the road ahead was, as long as they noticed that the mark behind them was always a straight line.
After about three hours, my eyes suddenly opened up.
The snow-capped mountains in the distance, the endless plain white all around, the sun without a little heat in the sky, the endless long steps behind you, and of course, the snow more than half a meter thick under your feet.
At this time, it was also bitterly cold, and after stopping for a while, he stiffened.
Watching the white flowers rolling up on the surface of the snow through the wind and snow, it hurt terribly when it hit my face.
Sukh looked around for a while, then pointed into the distance and said, "Giant, walk about five miles over there to a resting place when we were hunting, the place is a little simple, but it is still suitable for people, and it happens that we will spend the night there." ”
"Elder, there's no reference around here, you can't be mistaken, right?"
Peng Jianjun asked, and Su He's episode directly replied: "This is the place where the ghost people have lived for generations, Lao Tzu has lived here for half his life, and he has traveled more roads than you kid has eaten Karan (salt)." ”
"Karan? What Karan? ”
Zakanaqi pushed Peng Jianjun at this time and replied, "It's salt, let's go quickly!" Don't talk nonsense, the snow kicked up by such a strong wind can bury you in less than an hour. ”
