Chapter 184: Eagle's Beak Stream
Although we are in a place from the eagle's beak stream is only a dozen kilometers, but the mountain road is rugged and difficult, this season is the rainy season, the road is even more muddy, the original more than 20 minutes of the journey took an hour, and when the car stopped, it was already more than one o'clock in the afternoon, the man pointed to the mountain not far away through the window, saying that this is the cliff mountain, because there is no road between the mountains for cars to pass, so we must walk up the mountain next, in the mountain is hundreds of meters high is a cliff, and the opposite mountain is separated by dozens of meters, This is the eagle's beak stream, which is connected by a wooden bridge in the middle.
Hearing that, a few of us looked through the window, sure enough, the mountains in front of us are towering and precipitous, not far from the forest is a mountain road more than one meter wide, the mountain road leads directly to the cliff position, a wooden bridge across the cliff above the cliff, the following is the mountain stream, and the vertical height of the ground is hundreds of meters, the following is rocky, once you fall from such a height, there is no possibility of survival.
"Uncles, now that I have sent you safely to Cliff Mountain, can you spare my life, we said before, the gentleman is a good man, you can't talk without words!" The man looked at the few of us with a solemn face, for fear that we would suddenly change our minds.
"Since I said that I will not break my promise if I let you go, since this is the Cliff Mountain, then you should leave here quickly, you must not tell anyone about our whereabouts, otherwise even if you run to the ends of the earth, I can take your life, do you hear!" Su Dingqin looked at the man in front of him and said coldly.
"Hear me! I'm sure I'm not going to tell anyone about your whereabouts, but if there's nothing I'll do first, take care! The man took off the luggage that had been placed on the car, got into the car and drove away, and disappeared into the mountains within half a minute, never to be seen again.
Ning Nanxi walked in front of Su Dingqin after seeing the man leave, and asked puzzledly, "Brother Su, do you really believe that he will repent?" As the saying goes, dogs can't change their, and people like him will never really change it, so in my opinion, it's better to kill them and leave them in the mountains to feed the beasts. ”
Su Dingqin smiled bitterly after hearing this, took out the Tiangang Water Splitting Fan from his waist and shook it twice, and said: "You girl is not old and very ruthless, we are not here to kill people, but to save people, although I know that he is not sincerely repentant, but he will definitely not be able to escape, now the police should have arrested the dozen or so men into the police station, as long as these people go in for meritorious service, they will definitely confess their accomplices, so this person will definitely not be able to escape, I estimate that when he returns to the county, he will definitely be arrested by the police who have been ambushed in advance! ”
"Mr. Su, in my opinion, these people should have something to do with the police, how can you be sure that the police will punish them, what if they are arrested and then released after interrogation, won't it be tourists from other places who will suffer at that time?" Chen Xianglin looked at Su Dingqin and asked.
Su Dingqin sneered when he heard this, saying that he had already greeted the local police chief in advance and had already explained his identity, unless this director didn't want to continue to work, otherwise these people would definitely sit through the prison, and it might not be so simple to come out in this life.
"It's not early now, let's not delay time in this matter, the eagle's beak stream of this cliff mountain is hundreds of meters high from the ground, the mountain road is mostly covered by vegetation, not only the road is difficult to walk but also very steep, you must pay attention to safety when going up the mountain for a while." Su Dingqin admonished.
Seeing a few of us nodding after Su Dingqin and Shen Nanxiao opened the road in front, a few of us followed, looking at the steep cliff mountain under the mountain before, after going up the mountain, we can experience the hardships and dangers, the ground and the body are almost at an angle of forty-five degrees, there are a lot of gravel on the ground, if you don't pay attention to it, you will slip, fortunately there are many trees on both sides of the road, we can continue to go up with the help of trees, otherwise we really can't climb up for a while.
Due to the steepness of the mountain, we climbed for three hours to reach the top of the mountain, and when we climbed the mountain, several people were already tired and out of breath, even Su Dingqin and Shen Nanxiao, who exercised all day long, were a little unbearable, and Li Hai on the side collapsed directly to the ground, spreading his hands to form a big character.
We sat paralyzed in place and rested for about ten minutes before gradually recovering, seeing that it was getting late, so we got up and walked towards the direction of the eagle's beak stream, after passing through the dense forest is a cliff, the end of the cliff is a wooden bridge up to tens of meters, there is a cliff rock protruding above the wooden bridge, just upside down on the wooden bridge, the appearance is like the beak of the eagle, it seems that this should be the origin of the eagle's beak stream.
"Look, there are a lot of jars on this wooden bridge!" Ning Nanxi raised his hand and pointed at the wooden bridge, with a look of surprise on his face.
Hearing this, several of us immediately looked in the direction of the wooden bridge, and sure enough, there were indeed a lot of large and small jars placed on the wooden planks of the wooden bridge, most of these jars were black, and there were also a small number of brown jars, the largest was tens of centimeters high, and the smallest was nothing more than the size of a palm, I roughly counted the minimum of forty or fifty of these jars, and the front and back of the wooden bridge were all full, especially at present, the front end and the back end were the most, not to mention that two-thirds of the jars were gathered.
"These jars are Gu altars used to hold Gu worms, if you guess correctly, there is at least one Gu worm in each Gu altar, and there may be dozens or hundreds of Gu worms in the larger Gu altars, it seems that it is indeed not a simple matter for us to cross from this wooden bridge." Chen Xiaohu looked at the wooden bridge not far away and said in a deep voice.
"There's white bones there!" Li Hai pointed to the wooden bridge and shouted in surprise.
Looking in the direction of Li Hai's finger, there are indeed several white bones scattered in the middle of the wooden bridge, and there is no skin and flesh on these white bones, perhaps because the white bones have turned a little yellow due to the sun all day long, and it seems that the time has not been short.
"The driver who drove the car didn't lie to us, the owner of this white bone should be the team that studied the customs and customs of the seedlings two years ago, it seems that these Gu worms are indeed not simple, they are not possessed Gu worms, but carnivorous Gu worms, this kind of Gu worms are generally more vicious than possessed Gu worms, as long as they feel the presence of popularity, they will wake up, and then fly to people's bodies and start biting people's flesh and skin, if it is one or two, it is not too much of a problem, but now there are dozens of Gu altars in front of us, In the meantime, I am afraid that there are at least hundreds of Gu worms, and if these Gu worms come out of the nest, it will be difficult for just a few of us to deal with them. Chen Xiaohu said with a gloomy face.
"Won't these Gu worms starve to death if they stay in the Gu altar all the time, since the last time they ate meat was two years ago, maybe they're dead now, otherwise let's go up and try it first?" Li Hai looked at a few of us and asked.
"The habits of this Gu worm are actually similar to that of a turtle, every winter the turtle will not eat again because of the cold weather, and he will wake up again after the spring of the next year, the same is true for Gu worms, but they have no spring, summer, autumn and winter, as long as they don't eat, they will be dormant, and when the food is close or makes any sound, they will wake up again, because they are usually in a dormant state, so they don't need to spend too much in the body at all, so that they can maintain this dormant state for several years, So they won't starve to death even if they don't eat for a long time. Chen Xiaohu looked at Li Hai and explained.
"Then what should we do, it's the rainy season, the Yudai River can't be crossed at all, the only way is this eagle's beak stream, but now the eagle's beak stream is full of Gu worms, we can't break through, right?" Ning Nanxi asked a little anxiously.
"Brother Chen, since you have friends in Miaojiang, do you know the Gu masters here, if you do, you might as well invite them here to help us get rid of the Gu worms, so that we can cross the wooden bridge smoothly." Su Dingqin looked at Chen Xiaohu and reminded.
Chen Xiaohu sighed when he heard this, saying that he did know a master who was good at using Gu techniques in Miao Jiang, but this person was a familiar Miao person, not a raw Miao person, Sheng Miao's Gu technique was more insidious and vicious than that of mature Miao, and the refining methods were not the same, his friend could solve the mature Miao Gu but could not solve the raw Miao Gu, once he insisted on doing it, he was afraid that it would cause disaster.
After listening to Chen Xiaohu's words, Su Dingqin fell into a deep thought, and it took about two or three minutes before he slowly raised his head and said in a deep voice: "In this way, I'll go up to the bridge first to test it, if these Gu worms are not awakened by me, then you can continue to go up the bridge, if there is danger, you will retreat in time, don't worry about me." ”
"Brother Dingqin, I'll go, I'm better than you, if something goes wrong, I can get out in time." Shen Nanxiao looked at Su Dingqin and said.
"Don't go, I still have the Tiangang Water Splitting Fan to defend yourself, if you go, you can only use this flesh and blood to parry, you stay here, if something happens to me, you must protect a few of them." After Su Dingqin finished speaking, he walked straight in the direction of the wooden bridge without waiting for Shen Nanxiao to respond, and as he walked in, the hearts of several of us also rose to their throats.
After walking about a dozen steps, Su Dingqin was only less than three meters away from the wooden bridge, and the Gu altar was also directly in front of him, Su Dingqin stopped and took a deep breath when he saw this, wanting to ease his nervousness, but when he took another step, the Gu altar that was originally placed calmly on the ground suddenly began to sway, along with one Gu altar swaying, and the others also began to swing, and there was a banging sound in the Gu altar, it seemed that the Gu worms in it must have smelled the smell and woke up.
"Brother Su, come back quickly, these Gu worms are about to wake up!" Chen Xiaohu looked at Su Dingqin not far away and shouted.
Su Dingqin was just about to turn around and retreat when he heard this, when there was a bang The lid of the Gu altar was knocked open, and then I saw dozens of black insects coming out of the Gu altar and rushing directly towards Su Dingqin, because the distance was too close Su Dingqin didn't have time to dodge at all, in desperation, he had to wave the Tiangang Splitting Water Fan in his hand, and in an instant, an invisible wave of qi went towards the black Gu worms, these Gu worms were agile and dodged the attack, and after circling in the air for a few circles, they flew towards Su Dingqin again, Seeing that the momentum was critical, Su Dingqin didn't have time to make a move, so he had to flee in a hurry, just when he was about to be caught up by Gu worms, a strange scene happened, these Gu worms actually flew and froze in place, and then looked around for a while, and then flew back into the Gu altar.
I couldn't help but be surprised when I saw this scene, I glanced at the ground, and I didn't find any anomaly, this is a little strange, why don't these Gu worms fly here and don't continue to fly forward, could it be that these Gu worms are trapped here by something?
