Chapter 13: The Mysterious Old Man
Gecko rock climbing skills, Xue Bing has never heard of this martial arts, but listen to the name, gecko rock climbing, can you climb such a steep cliff?
Inspecting the bank of the Ghost Er, he came to the narrowest part of the riverbed, and used the long sword torn off the cliff to wrap around Xue Bing, and threw it towards the opposite cliff, the long sword was inserted into the crack in the stone, and he jumped over with his hand dragging the vine.
Looking at the edge of the cliff, the probe grabbed the gap and edge between the stone pillars, used his hands and feet together, and climbed up.
From a distance, these stone pillars are straight and smooth, but when you look closely, you don't know that between these stone pillars, every place where they meet, you can settle down, like climbing steps.
The only difference is that the height of each pillar is about one length, and the stone walls are smooth, but they are also very difficult to climb.
Xue Bing and Ghost One looked at the river bank from a distance, only to see the Ghost Two luck concentrated, his feet touched the ground, jumped up, grabbed the edge of the stone pillar with his right hand, picked the gap between the stone pillars with his left hand, his forearm was close to the cliff, and the soles of his feet hung on the top of the stone pillar, sighed, slowly moved his arms, and began to climb.
This cliff is steep and smooth, and every time Oniji grabs his palm and steps out, he has to probe in advance whether the stone wall will collapse. In this way, they grasp or pick, or support or hang, and their limbs move together, and their bodies are really like gecko climbing.
Xue Bing watched him climb higher and higher, worried in her heart, and turned her head to look at Ghost One: "Can Uncle Ghost Second climb to the top of the cliff?"
Ghost one smiled: "Don't worry! Among our four ghosts in Yunshan, in addition to the Yunshan Sijiazhang that we practiced together, everyone has a stunt, my messy boxing, the third child's light skills chasing the wind legs, the fourth's ghost fire yin corpse boxing, the second is this gecko climbing skill, don't underestimate his martial arts, it is the slippery imperial city wall, he can climb up without the slightest rope, although the cliff is high, these stone pillars are unevenly arranged, as long as there is a place to grasp the foot, he will climb up!"
Xue Bing prayed silently.
Time turns, a noon passed, there was no trace of the ghost two on the cliff, the sun gradually turned west, Xue Bing was tired of sitting, so he lay down with his arms on his pillow, and was thinking, the black shadow in the clouds and mist flickered, the sound of crackling, a rope tied up by vines was thrown down from the top of the cliff, and above the clouds, there was the shout of the ghost two.
Xue Bing and Ghost were overjoyed, crossing the river to the other side, the cliff was too high, Xue Bing climbed for a while, and was scared, so Oni tied vines to her, and Oni Er pulled her up the cliff. The oniichi found a place to wait, and when he saw the vines falling, he climbed up on his own.
After resting on the top of the cliff for a while, the three of them looked for a way out, turned the mountain screen, and it was a peach forest, fluffy green peaches, and the ghost picked one, and then spit it out when he bit it: "It's unpalatable!"
The three of them continued to move forward, looking east and west, and suddenly saw a cluster of flowers in the open space of the forest in the distance, surrounded by four tombless tombs.
The ghost smiled: "The people here are very poor, and they can't even afford a tombstone!
Xue Bing shook her head: "Maybe it's a powerful person, because I don't want people to know who he is, so I don't need a tombstone!"
Oniji thought about the cave he fell into, the mechanism in the cave, and the rope and ladder hanging on the edge of the cliff that he saw when he climbed the cliff.
It's a pity that I didn't see what treasure was hidden behind the "don't enter" stone door.
Out of the peach forest, it is a path, the road is scattered and there are some wild flowers, Xue Bing happily picked one, and the ghost suddenly said vigilantly: "Someone!"
The three of them hurriedly slowed down and quietly walked in, hiding through the trees, only to see that in front of the mountain screen in front of them, there was a platform, on which a screen-like stone wall was erected, the surface of the stone wall was smooth as a chip, and an old man in a blue robe was writing on the stone wall.
The ghost was surprised, and the ghost said: "What's wrong?" Raising his eyes, he caught a glimpse of the old man who was writing and painting, and he was suddenly surprised!
The old man wrote on the stone wall, neither pen nor ink nor carving, but with his own fingers.
Xue Bing praised: "It's amazing!"
The poems written by the old man are the "quatrains" of the female lyricist Li Qingzhao in the Song Dynasty. After the poem was written, the old man's long sleeves swept away, and a clump of stone chips fell on the wall, and the handwriting became clearer and clearer.
The old man read in a deep voice: "Life is a hero, death is also a ghost!" The voice was as deep as a bell, and there was a moment of turmoil in his eyes.
Xue Bing and the two ghosts hid behind the trees, only to see that the old man was dressed in a blue robe, with a navy blue cloth belt tied around his waist, black and white hair on his forehead, and a pair of dark and deep eyes.
With a bang, the tea cup in the old man's hand was nailed to the tree where the three of them were hiding, and the tea in the cup swayed, smooth and steady, and not a drop of water leaked.
The three of them were surprised, walked up to the stage, the old man's dark eyes swept over, and he glanced at Xue Bing more, as if he was slightly surprised, and said with his hand: "Where did the three of them come from?"
As soon as the ghost triumphantly said that he had climbed the cliff, the old man's eyebrows sank: "Gecko Rock Climbing Skill! Who are you who are the remaining enemies of King Miao?"
The names of the remaining enemies disappeared as early as 30 years ago. What's more, the remaining enemies have never walked around in the residence of the Miao people in southern Fujian, and have never left half a step. How did the people who went deep in the mountains and valleys know?
Oni: "How do you know?"
The old man glanced at Ghost One and Ghost Two: "The remaining three stunts of the remaining enemies, Messy Fist, Light Skill Chasing Wind Legs, and Fire Ghost Yin Corpse Fist, must have descendants!"
As soon as the ghost heard that he was not bad at all, he hurriedly said, "Who are you?"
The old man said: "Thirty years ago, the remaining enemy was defeated by an opponent and disappeared from the rivers and lakes. Do you know who defeated him?"
Ghost Er shook his head: "At that time, he refused to say it, bluntly saying that it was a great humiliation in his life." Later, he disappeared without a trace, and the martial arts in southern Fujian also had a battle for the leader of the alliance because of this. The one who defeated him, could it be!" Looking up at the old man in front of him, he could say that the martial arts of the remaining enemies were so complete, could it be him?
The old man said in a deep voice, "Not bad!"
Ghost one, ghost two at the same time, although he and the Miao Wang remaining enemies did not have the name of master and apprentice, he did pass on his four stunts to himself, and now finally found the enemy who defeated him back then, the two of them retreated at the same time, and they wanted to avenge the rest of the enemy.
Xue Bing was surprised: "Two ghost uncles!" motioned for them not to fight, and looked up at the old man.
The old man snorted: "Listening to your voice, it is obvious that you are not strong enough. When you have enough to eat and have the strength, it's not too late to avenge him!"
The purple-clothed swordsman standing next to him hurriedly said, "Master!"
I only heard the old man say, "Take the three of them in!"
