Chapter 279: Descending the Cliff and the King Hexagram
But it's different from the one Liu Ruxiang took me to use before. That kind of just a slippery rope with nothing.
Chen Guangge and the others seem to have prepared a professional safety rope for climbing and landing, with several buckles, which can also be worn on the body to fix the whole person, and the rope can be slowly descended. The people above slowly loosen down, and the people below can land safely, not like Liu Ruxiang, in case of a slippery hand, they will fall directly to the bottom of the cliff thousands of feet deep without grasping the rope, and fall to pieces.
In short, such security is greatly improved. But to be on the safe side, two athletic people are still needed to be in charge of one front and one behind.
Naturally, the four masters themselves stood up and took the lead in going down, leaving another disciple of the Red Lotus Sect behind the hall, so that if there was any unexpected situation, we would all have a preparation in our hearts.
Soon, the end of the descending safety rope was tied to a small tree. Another person watched it specifically, pulled it with his hand, and asked the four masters to put on the safety rope and be the first to go down.
Before leaving, several of us discussed with each other, and Liu Ruxiang told the four masters: "Fourth uncle, you should be careful, there is danger below." ”
Who are the four masters? The first time I went down before, I had been fighting with the black-robed man for a long time, and I was afraid that there would be hundreds of rounds. Those zombies who wanted to sneak attack were also beaten back one by one by the four masters. If it weren't for the old age, I'm afraid we wouldn't have needed to run out at all, and directly kill the corpse chasers of the Orient to his grandmother's house.
The fourth master waved his hand disdainfully, and the main thing was a handsome and proud word: "I am old and strong, not old yet." Besides, even if you are old, you are still old. I, too, am no worse than Lianpo! ”
Everyone standing next to them applauded the four masters.
"Well said!"
"This is the man of the Yumen Liu family, the eggs are hard enough!"
"When you are old, you are strong, you can say it well! My brother is really a role model for my generation. ”
Everyone couldn't help but admire.
I heard Liu Ruxiang say that the four masters are indeed not young this year, as if they are in their sixties.
Many people will not live to this age if they don't pay attention to their bodies when they are young.
The four masters can carry and fight, which is already rare in the world.
After the fourth master put on the safety rope, he waved his hand calmly, then grabbed a handful of the rope, stepped on the edge of the big crack, took a deep breath, and then leaned back violently, loosened the rope in his hand, and his whole person quickly landed on this rope.
We flashed flashlights on it and watched as the bodies of the four masters fell little by little, getting closer and closer to the bottom of the bottomless crack.
After about twenty or thirty seconds, standing on it, the people of the four masters became smaller and smaller, and we shouted from above, and it took a long time for the echo to come up. The voice of the fourth master was the same, he responded to us like this: "I'm almost to the end, I see below." It's bottomless down there, but just a short distance below me, there's a big hole. ”
After all, the ancestral land or ancestral tomb of the Chen family in Shuanghu Town is the vision of this green dragon raising its head, and it is like a dungeon underground, because of the cross-section of the crack caused by this earthquake, there will naturally be a hole.
When the people above us heard the words of the four masters, they all knew that it was stable now.
Chen Guangge happily shouted down: "Then you go in from there, after you stand firm, use the flashlight to give us a signal, if this place is suitable to go down, then you use the flashlight to shine three times." If this is not the right place to go down, then you shine a flashlight twice, and if there is danger, then you keep flashing the flashlight. If you hear my message, then you can take it. ”
The four masters below immediately turned on the flashlight, and then quickly turned it off, just in time.
The fourth master heard the information, and it was very good.
At this time, we can see through the faint light of the flashlight that his body is slowly disappearing towards an invisible wall, and after a while, the whole person seems to have burrowed into the wall. But in fact, he should have gone to the ancestral cave of the Chen family in Chen Shuanghu Town.
After about ten seconds, the flashlight light soon lit up again under the crack, a total of three times. This shows that he is fit to go down and is in a safe place.
The voices of the Four Masters had become very small at this time, and there were still some vagueness. But we understood what he meant, and we began to send people down one by one.
A Jiangdong sect master followed.
According to the previously agreed rules, every time a person goes down, he must send a signal with a flashlight. The meaning and rules of the signal were as if they had just been discussed, and then three more signals were issued.
Soon, one person after another went down like this, it was the fourth, and I followed closely behind Liu Ruxiang.
Although the cracks on this mountain are exceptionally narrow. The wind still smelled dark and damp, but the safety rope tied my armpits and crotch, and some places supported the force, and I felt safe enough to adapt to it.
With the help of two fellow Daoists, I recalled the appearance of the four masters just now, slowly leaned back, and then loosened the rope on my hand little by little.
The legs were tightly pulled with their hands, and they didn't dare to let go down at all, but they still slowly lowered their feet little by little under the guidance of others. My whole speed was rapidly decreasing, and soon, I heard the voice shouting at me from under the crack.
"Slow down, steady, not too fast."
Keeping in mind the master's lesson, I quickly grabbed the rope and slowed myself down, but it was better to have gloves on my hands, otherwise I would have been strangled with blood.
Beads of sweat the size of beans appeared on my forehead, and I was extremely nervous, so I continued to walk down cautiously, and Liu Ruxiang's voice below became clearer and clearer.
Within half a minute I heard the voice of the fourth master, who said that I was a little above the entrance of the cave, and he asked me to continue to exert myself.
A few more steps down, I saw a cliff-like cave at the bottom, and Liu Ruxiang and the four masters stood at the entrance of the cave, as well as some other team members.
Soon, I couldn't get anywhere else with my empty foot. Hanging in the air, my heart is shaking and sweating. I used the strength of my whole body to concentrate on my arms, and slowly descended little by little, and then I felt that the fourth master and Liu Ruxiang grabbed my thighs, and then slowly put me down.
With their support, he finally landed on the ground without danger.
Although I knew that there was no danger this time, the feeling of hanging in the air was not pleasant, and I still gasped for breath and rested for a long time before relieving.
The flashlight flashed three times to the top and signaled them to continue to bring people down, and soon the rope was pulled up by them, and after a while another person lowered the flashlight with the flashlight.
This is like a simple version of the artificial elevator shaft, seeing that my half-old child also came down easily, the people above suddenly relaxed, as if the speed of coming down is about to become faster, and after a while, three or four more people came down.
After a long time, the large army was finally assembled. This cave is not big, go inside, there is almost no end, take a flashlight and shine on the back casually, those rock walls that twist and turn are blocked, because of the principle of caution, we do not dare to act without permission.
"Everyone take a break, let's set off in two minutes and walk deeper, in front of us should be the ancestral land of the Chen family in Shuanghu Town, where there are a large number of ancestral corpses of the Chen family. Our goal this time is not only to sabotage and dismantle the invasion plot of the corpse chasers of the Eastern Kingdom, but also to find out the secret of the Chen family's ancestral land in this Shuanghu Town, who is using the body of their ancestor to make zombies? It is imperative to bring the scourge under control behind this. ”
Everyone nodded, and took out compressed dry food and water from their backpacks, as well as some snacks such as braised eggs and beef jerky.
Just as everyone was sitting on the floor resting and eating, suddenly a man stood up.
All of our eyes turned to him, this man was a fortune-telling gentleman, his surname was Wang, I don't know what his name was, but the adults called him Wang Hexagram, the hexagram of fortune telling.
Just when he was on it, someone laughed at him and said: "You are a king hexagram, you tell fortunes and fortunes to others every day, and you are very accurate, how can it be your turn to tell your own fortunes, you will not be besieged by zombies, even if you will not be attacked by others." ”
When I heard that, I wanted to laugh.
But now the face of this king coat was extraordinarily calm, as if there was something, but he didn't want to say it, and there was a kind of indifference in his eyes, he stood up and looked at it, and saw that we were all watching, she quickly lowered her head again, and then sat down on the ground.
When the rest was almost over, Chen Guangge waved his big hand and shouted: "Since everyone has almost rested, let's hurry up, time is critical to go deeper, if there is no important progress, we will not stop later, everyone can accept it." ”
Naturally, we won't have any problems, and we will continue to set off towards the intention of Qinglong with our luggage, and we don't know what we thought before.
But soon, before he took two steps, the fortune teller who had just stood up was ahead of Wang Hangzi, and he suddenly stopped, muttering something in his mouth: "You guys go first, I suddenly have a little stomach pain, I go to the toilet here, and I will follow immediately, it won't be long." ”
We all listened to him, and without much thought, we continued to walk, leaving him here alone. But none of us could have imagined that just after we left, this guy called Wang Coatzi suddenly took out a pair of scissors from the backpack behind him.
