Chapter 33: The Journey to Find the Sword

Ling Hu Chong took the two of them to the edge of the cliff, pointed to the abyss and said, "Yesterday, the little junior sister's sword fell from here. ”

Lin Pingzhi poked his head out and looked down, the rock wall was steep, the clouds and mist were deep, and there was no bottom. He straightened up and threw a rock down, and after two or three breaths he heard the faint sound of rocks colliding. Judging from this, this cliff is a hundred feet high, and it is impossible to go down the rope from the cliff.

Lin Pingzhi stood up straight and looked in all directions, all of them were green peaks and valleys, and he couldn't see the path, and he didn't know where to go from the mountain to the bottom of the cliff.

He turned to Lu Dayou and Ling Huchong and asked, "You have been in Huashan for many years, you are far more familiar than me, what is the situation around, can you go around to the bottom of the cliff?" ”

Linghu scratched his head, he had been in Huashan for more than ten years, but he rarely wandered in the mountains, and he couldn't answer Lin Pingzhi's questions. Lu Dayou is completely different, he is responsible for the chores in the faction, and he likes to wander around the mountains and forests, so he still has a general understanding of the surroundings.

Lu Dayou walked to the edge of the cliff, looked around, identified the location of the peak, and estimated the path according to the stream valley. Lin Pingzhi and Linghu Chong saw him comparing and drawing, and they were completely confused, didn't they know that this was the method commonly used by mountain people to estimate the distance and direction with finger comparison and eye calibration.

Lu Dayou finally stopped, and talked to the two of them: "Senior brother, look, the highest mountain in front of you on the right is the Jade Girl Peak, and you and I have been there. The stream over there meanders down the Jade Maiden Peak. We can start from the mountain behind the Jade Maiden Peak, go around the hill, go around the stream to the back of the peak in front, then cross the valley, turn over the mountain on the left, and go down the stream, and we should be able to reach the bottom of the abyss of Siguo Cliff. ”

Lu Dayou's eyebrows fluttered when he spoke, and Lin Pingzhi and Ling Hu Chong were confused. Lu Dayou explained again and again, and seeing that the two of them were still ignorant, he couldn't help but feel anxious: "Senior brother, I have said it so clearly, why don't you understand, you are too ......" Speaking of this, he quickly covered his mouth.

Ling Hu Chong was angry and funny, and only then did he understand that there is a specialization in the art industry, and everyone has their own excellence.

Lin Pingzhi suddenly thought of an idea, "Sixth Senior Brother, you don't have to worry, wouldn't it be clear if you took a paper and drew a map!" ”

Lu Dayou's eyes lit up, this is indeed a good idea. Immediately let Ling Hu Chong find the paper, and he used a piece of charcoal to draw crookedly. With the map in hand, comparing the real scene, the two finally understood what Lu Dayou said.

After understanding, look at this picture again, it's really miserable. Lu Dayou can't say that his painting skills are not good, he can only say that he has no painting skills at all. When Linghu Chong couldn't help it, he took the paper and drew a new one, Lin Pingzhi took it and took a look, and it was really much better than Lu Dayou's drawing.

Lin Pingzhi took the map, put it in his pocket, and said with satisfaction: "Okay, it's done." Senior brother, don't worry, tomorrow I will definitely go and find the little senior sister's blue water sword. When the time comes, you give it to her with your own hands, and she won't be angry. ”

Ling Hu Chong thanked him repeatedly, if he hadn't been grounded by his master and went to find the Bishui Sword, he would definitely take the lead.

Lu Dayou was not satisfied, "Little junior brother, what do you mean that "you" must go?" It's the two of us going together, you're completely unfamiliar with the location in this area, and if you don't go, you'll definitely get lost! ”

Ling Hu Chong nodded hurriedly when he heard this: "Yes, junior brother, you must go with the sixth child, the two of them have a good look for each other, even if something happens, they can help each other." Don't act rashly alone. ”

Lin Pingzhi agreed after thinking about it, the senior brother was right.

Early the next morning, Lin Pingzhi and Lu Dayou brought ropes, rivets and other climbing tools and set off. The two of them first went down the mountain on horseback, and followed the road all the way to the foot of the Jade Girl Peak.

You must know that although the Huashan faction is in Huashan, it is impossible for them to station their own sects on the main peak of Huashan. The main peak of Mount Hua has been a scenic spot since ancient times, and there is an endless stream of tourists. How can the door station be repaired there? Therefore, the Huashan faction is actually a remote mountain peak in the Huashan area, and there are few people, which is suitable for Qing cultivation. The fastest way to go to the Jade Girl Peak is naturally to go down the mountain first, come to the Huashan Scenic Area through the road, and then go straight to the Jade Girl Peak along the road. If you go over the mountains and mountains from the sect and go around and around, it will be a waste of time.

Lin Pingzhi and Lu Dayou left their horses in a shop, and then followed the tour route up the mountain with other tourists. Halfway up the mountain, the two found a fork in the road to the back mountain, and separated from the group of tourists.

Out of the sight of tourists, the speed of the two suddenly increased. Perform light skills, the wind is under your feet, and you will arrive at the back mountain of Jade Girl Peak in less than a cup of tea.

Lin Pingzhi took out the map, identified the direction with Lu Dayou, and followed the map to climb over the hill in front. The hill may not seem high, but it is quite steep, and the rocks are covered in moss and extremely slippery. The two couldn't find the path, so they could only overcome the thorns and thorns.

After tossing for a while, Lin Pingzhi straightened up and found that the progress was very slow, and it would inevitably take a lot of time to develop like this. Anxious, he decided to start using a special trick, which was his jumping skill that he hadn't used for a long time.

Lin Pingzhi pointed to the cliff beside him and said to Lu Dayou: "Sixth Senior Brother, I think we should be faster when we walk from the side." ”

Lu Dayou looked at what Lin Pingzhi was referring to, it was a steep cliff of about twenty meters, the cliff surface was uneven, almost ninety degrees vertical, and he suddenly shook his head: "Little junior brother, if you want to hurry, you can't reach it, the cliff is too steep from that side, and it may take more time to climb." ”

Lin Pingzhi didn't think so, he pointed to the cliff and said, "Sixth Senior Brother, I've already thought about it, you see that there are a few places up and down the cliff where you can stop, I can jump on it, and then pull you over." ”

Lu Dayou looked at the distance, and immediately shook his head, "From here to the stopping point you said, there are three or four feet, how can you jump so high!" ”

Lin Pingzhi gave him a sloppy look, "Sixth Senior Brother, your eyes are wrong, how can there be three or four zhang, at most a little more." My family inheritance is not bad, it should be fine. You give me the rope and I'll jump there, throw the rope at you and pull you over. ”

Lin Ping's words came to this, without waiting for Lu Dayou to object again, he snatched the rope from his hand, looked at the position, silently recited "Start Jump", and with a whoosh, he had already fallen to the protruding position in the middle of the cliff, leaving only Lu Dayou stunned in place.

It wasn't until Lin Pingzhi pulled Lu Dayou up that he reacted from the shock, looked at Lin Pingzhi, and had to admire: "Little junior brother, I didn't expect your light skills to be so good, it's really unprecedented!" ”

Lin Pingzhi activated the jumping skill, and the speed of crossing the mountains and mountains was much faster all of a sudden. The two of them picked a steep and difficult route, and every time they reached the cliff, Lin Ping jumped up and threw the rope down. With the help of the power of the rope, Lu Dayou naturally jumped up a few times with ease.

In this way, after about two or three teas, the two of them climbed over the hills, skirted the peaks along the stream, and came to a deep stream. This mountain stream is bottomless, and the sound of gurgling water can be heard. It seems to be a natural mountain cresm, washed away by the current for many years, and finally became like this.

Lin Pingzhi estimated the width of the deep stream, it was about three zhang, and there were jagged rocks on both sides, only some sparse shrubs less than one person high, and it was impossible to find a big tree to make a simple bridge.

Lin Pingzhi will definitely be able to jump over this width, but Lu Dayou will definitely have no choice. Even if Lin Pingzhi pulls it with a rope, he can't use his strength.

Seeing this scene, Lu Dayou looked up at the sky again, and the red sun was already past noon. It's not early, and I can't afford to hesitate anymore. He made a decision at the moment, "Little junior brother, you are good at doing light work, you jump over and go first." I'll take a look at the upstream and downstream, if I can pass, I'll chase you, if I can't pass, I'll wait for you here. ”

Lin Pingzhi nodded, only took some light climbing tools, said goodbye to Lu Dayou, jumped into the jump, easily jumped over the deep stream, and continued to move forward.

At this time, without Lu Dayou by his side, Lin Pingzhi could use his jumping skills boldly with confidence, and his speed suddenly doubled. In less than a cup of tea, he easily climbed the high mountain in front of him and descended the stream until he came to a cliff.

Lin Pingzhi looked down. The cliff is about eight or nine zhang high, and the stream water flows down the cliff, forming a small waterfall, and over the years, the rocks below are smashed out of the depression, forming a small pool.

Lin Pingzhi judged that this distance should be able to jump down. However, he was confident in jumping up, but he was a little scared when he jumped down, and he couldn't see clearly at the bottom of the cliff, and it would be bad if there was a quagmire below.

For the sake of caution, Lin Pingzhi took out an iron chisel, stuck it in the crack of the stone to borrow strength, and slowly climbed down little by little, watching as he climbed. Just as he climbed to the middle position, he suddenly found a person lying on a slightly flat stone platform diagonally diagonally.

Lin Ping went down to the bottom of the cliff and found that there was only a little dirt at the bottom, most of which were rugged rocks. He remembered what he had just seen and hurriedly went over to check.

The stone platform was vertical on three sides, one or two feet high, and a layer of moss was slippery and slippery, making it impossible to climb. Lin Pingzhi couldn't see the scene below, so he had to shout a few times. There was no answer.

Although the jumping skill is good, there is a premise, that is, you must be able to see the destination. Now I can't even see it, so naturally I can't jump on it directly.

Lin Pingzhi looked around and found that there was a protrusion on the rock wall on the right side of the stone platform, which could accommodate one person to stand, and the height was about zhang. Lin Pingzhi had an idea, he could jump on this bulge first, and then he could see the stone platform.

Sure enough, Lin Ping jumped onto the bulge, and he could clearly see that there was indeed a person lying on the stone platform, but this person had obviously been dead for a long time, and judging from the exposed parts of the dead branches and yellow leaves, he had been completely ossified.
