Chapter 14: The Coffin

After listening to the master's words, I nodded thoughtfully, and said with some concern: "Master, then you should be careful!" ”

The master nodded, and then gently tied the rope he carried with him to a poplar tree next to him, and then climbed down the cliff. It's like a dexterous monkey, moving down a little bit on the dragon cliff.

And my brother and I always looked at the rope carefully. Don't dare to be careless.

It was then that I heard a creaking sound from the rope, as if it was about to break at any moment. I was startled and hurried towards the rope. I found that there was nothing wrong with the rope.

"Do you hear me?" I glanced at my junior brother and hurriedly asked softly.

The junior brother's brows furrowed, and he nodded: "Something is wrong, could it be that Widow Chen didn't go far?" ”

"Even if you don't go far, the sun hasn't set yet! She dared to come out? Surprised, I took a step forward and looked down the cliff.

And at this moment, the rope suddenly tightened!

From a break between a position below the cliff.

I saw the master's figure suddenly fall down, and at that moment, my heart went straight to my throat.

However, the master's skills are very good. The coffin stick in his hand was thrown out in an instant, and it poked directly at the cliff. I heard the sound of the mountain cracking, and the master's figure stabilized at that moment, raised his head and glanced left and right, and then said with palpitations: "It's dangerous!" ”

"Master, be careful, we'll pull you up......" My heart that had been hanging was let go at this moment, and I shouted at the bottom of the cliff.

Then he hurriedly turned around and glanced at his junior brother: "We have to quickly find a way to pick up the rope, and then rescue the master!" ”

"There's nothing in this place that can be tied to the rope. If you want to return to Zhuangzi, I'm afraid it will take a lot of time. You wait here, I'll see if there's any rope there, she shouldn't have gone far by now! After thinking about it carefully, the junior brother said to me.

I nodded, it was really the only way to go.

The younger brother hurriedly ran towards the willow forest, while I came to the edge of the cliff again and looked down. I want to know how the master is doing.

However, the moment I looked down, I found that the master was gone!

Suddenly, a cold sweat broke out in my body. The master must have fallen, right? It shouldn't be!

I shouted at the bottom of the cliff: "Master......"

"Stop screaming, I'm fine!" At this time, a faint response spread, and after a while, he continued: "I have come to Widow Chen's tomb, and this place is indeed passive. The door of the tomb has been pried open, and the coffin inside has been touched! The most important thing is that Widow Chen's bones are gone! ”

I was a little frightened when I heard it above, and the master actually went to the tomb of Widow Chen. There was no room for a single person, so I looked down, and upon careful look, I realized that the master was standing in a groove, a small place that could only hold one foot. Fortunately, the master's kung fu is in place, standing there, like a strong pine on a cliff, unmoving!

"Master, we don't have anyone here who can catch the rope. The junior brother has already gone to find Adin, he should have a rope to drag the willow wood there! I shouted down the cliff.

But the master did not speak.

After nearly half an hour, the junior brother and Ah Ding hurriedly ran over. Adin held a bundle of rope in his hand: "Is the master okay?" ”

"It's okay, now it's down there, we have to quickly find a way to pick up the master, I'm afraid the master won't last too long." As I spoke, I hurriedly took the rope, threw one under the cliff, and shouted to the bottom of the cliff, "Master, I will put the rope down now." Be careful! ”

Below the Dragon Cliff, the water of the Dragon River rushes through, mighty! Those who heard it were somewhat deafening.

The rope was smoothly placed where the master was, and the master grabbed the rope with one hand, and pulled out the coffin stick fixed to the cliff with the other hand, and then nodded at us: "Okay, I'm okay here." Pull! ”

With the strength of our hands, we smoothly dragged the master up from the bottom of the cliff.

When he reached the top of the cliff, the master gasped for breath and climbed up the rope tied to his waist. After taking a closer look, his brows furrowed slightly!

"Master, is Widow Chen really turning into a ghost?" I looked at the master and asked.

The master's brows furrowed, and after a while, he shook his head: "Widow Chen has turned into a powerful ghost, I don't know!" However, even if Widow Chen turned into a ghost, she didn't do this thing today! ”

While speaking, the master handed the rope to me: "See, there is a red core in the middle, which is twisted with cinnabar." In the very center of the rope, it can ward off all kinds of evils. I've always been careful in what I do, and if I wasn't absolutely sure, I wouldn't have gone down this dragon cliff. And this rope, the fracture is flat on the outside and collapsed on the inside, and it was obviously not broken by the ghost. It's artificial! ”

After finishing speaking, the master quietly threw the rope on the ground: "Someone knew that I was coming here, and he guessed that I would go down to check, so he said that he made hands and feet on the rope I usually use!" ”

Hearing this, I felt that my body was already covered in cold sweat.

"But there aren't many people who can touch the rope of the master!" Adin thought carefully for a moment before he continued, "Do you doubt the people in the Zhuangzi? ”

The master thought for a long time before he shook his head: "The people in the Zhuangzi know the roots, and they shouldn't do this kind of thing. Although this rope has always been in my house, it may not be accessible to anyone. I've been going out a lot these days, and although a few of you say that you have the strength, you may not be able to stop you, and you really have the ability. Let's go back first! ”

I, junior brother, and Adin nodded, knowing that we couldn't solve any problems here.

followed the master down the mountain, while Adin continued to stay in the willow forest, and finally dragged the willow tree to the Zhuangzi.

The master sat in the courtyard, thinking carefully about today's events. There seems to be something that connects everything, but I can't figure out what this thread is.

My junior brother and I were practicing on the sidelines. I didn't dare to say anything, for fear of disturbing the master.

I don't know how long it took, but the master sighed, stood up slightly, then shook his head, and greeted me and my junior brother: "Okay, it's almost time to come here!" ”

"Master!" My brother and I bowed lightly to the master.

The master nodded: "The coffin stick is very important to the coffin master." A stick represents not only a weapon, but also a person. The name of my coffin stick is green bamboo stick! It was when I was apprenticed to the master, and the master polished it. The master can help you polish the coffin stick, but the real maintenance still depends on you! ”

As he spoke, the master gently lifted the coffin stick in his hand.

Then he suddenly handed it forward.

At that moment, I felt the air around me feel as if it tightened. His body was a little out of control, and his legs kept shaking. Even a little leg lift is a very difficult thing to do!

And at this time, the junior brother was indeed a little surprised: "This is?" Soul? ”

The master nodded slightly: "Yes, why did you choose willow wood for the coffin stick?" That's because, sticks can nourish souls! Different souls can play different roles. The stronger the coffin, the more souls it can seal. ”

I was stunned there, and at this time I finally understood what the coffin stick in the master's hand meant.

"Of course, the choice of coffin stick also depends on fate. In fact, it is not you who chooses the coffin stick, but the coffin stick who chooses you, I think the two of you already know this in your hearts! The master said slowly.
