Chapter (45): Young and frivolous
The naughty girl, in order to seek greater stimulation, actually used only a keychain to connect her belt and the iron cable behind her back, and relied on the power of the keychain to pull almost the entire weight of her body. Then he spread his arms and climbed his feet on the cliff below, making a graceful free-flying pose for the other three to take pictures. Just as she tried to turn around and grab the rope, ready to climb back to the trail. Suddenly, the keychain behind her back broke unexpectedly, and the hand that had not yet grasped the iron rope also let go of the iron cable in panic, and with a scream of fear, her whole body slid down the cliff.
Seeing this thrilling scene, accompanied by the frightened screams of the girl who fell off the cliff, the three companions next to him were suddenly paralyzed there in fright. At this time, the lone wolf quickly turned back from above, and immediately prepared equipment to carry out rescue without saying a word.
Luckily, the naughty girl, as she was sliding, was caught by a large row of dense shrubs growing diagonally upwards just about four meters from the top. However, due to the natural pressure of the fall, the shrub that caught her was also sagging a little bit with the sound of breaking. If, at a certain angle under the bush, the schoolgirl who was already frightened on top of the canopy would continue to fall into the valley seventy or eighty meters deep. Once you fall, you will definitely not be spared, and even if you are lucky enough not to die, you will at least be severely disabled.
At this moment, Xiao Qingfeng couldn't wait for the lone wolf to properly place their rescue equipment. I saw him jump out of the guardrail and pounce straight towards the girl's location. At the moment when he soared into the air, his peerless tiger brace flew out of one hand and ran straight to the door of meditation.
Jing Xin, who was almost in touch with his heart, suddenly understood what he meant, reached out and firmly grasped the oncoming tiger support, and then stood firmly on the mountain road with the body of a thousand pound pendant. The little Taoist priest and the laughing Maitreya next to him would also be interested, and immediately stepped forward to help meditate on the tiger support. I saw Xiao Qingfeng, who was holding the other end of the tiger and holding the cold iron chain, and landed steadily beside the female student, stretched out his other hand and firmly grabbed one of her wrists.
At the same time, the lone wolf, under the protection of the mute and the prodigal son above, climbed down the climbing rope and also reached the position of the schoolgirl. The lone wolf at the level of a senior old donkey, after a slight necessary inspection, quickly fixed and protected the girl with a safety rope. It was only then that all cheered with relief.
With the protection of Lone Wolf and Xiao Qingfeng, everyone easily promoted this female student to a safe position. Immediately afterwards, Jing Xin and the doll conducted a careful and professional examination of her and first aid. To everyone's delight, the naughty schoolgirl had nothing but seven or eight abrasions and minor soft tissue contusions. Even, this naughty and daring schoolgirl even laughed stupidly, saying that she was the same kind of cats and had nine lives.
After making sure that she was fine, the lone wolf severely reprimanded the four of them, and told the girl to go to the hospital for a good examination after coming down the mountain, and then let them continue to descend the mountain.
Just when the other three people were supporting the female student before they walked thirty or forty meters, the four of them actually sang loudly, and in a blink of an eye, they forgot the thrilling life and death experience just now. The lone wolf smiled bitterly and looked at the four people who were gradually moving away, shrugged his shoulders and learned to be dumb just now, made a helpless emoji, and sighed with a smile: "Today's children, when they grow up, it is estimated that even heroes like Ah Lang and Doll will be angry, hahaha......"
After a moment of emotion, everyone packed up their equipment and continued their upward journey.
Everyone talked and laughed along the way, stopped and stopped, and it took almost an hour to go. After a steep and narrow bluestone staircase of nearly 100 meters, we reached the position of the third wall. This third wall is taller and thicker than the two below, and there are seven or eight two-and-a-half-story or three-story watchtowers in an important position in the sunny section in front. Although, in recent years, in order to enhance the tourism development of Sangwang Mountain, it has been rebuilt on the original site. However, it can be vaguely seen that this walled wall played a major defensive role in the era of cold weapons.
In the northeast position of this third wall, there is the top of Qinggu, which is almost straight up and down at a height of seventy or eighty meters, and it is also the highest peak of the entire mountain. According to the route arranged by everyone's pre-plan, there will be no longer climbing the highest peak, Qinggu Peak. Instead, from a sheep intestine trail in the southwest corner of the wall, it is directly detoured to the destination - the Valley of Hundred Flowers in the past, and the Devil's Valley now.
That trail is extremely secretive, and it is an old path taken by ancient medicine pickers that the lone wolf discovered when he participated in the friendship activities of the tourism bureau. Although the trail twists and turns, it is much safer than climbing directly down from the cliff in the northwest corner. The lone wolf had walked back and forth three times, and although he had not been able to really go deep into the depths of the Devil's Valley for various reasons, he was sure that everyone could go down from here to the valley mouth of the Devil's Valley.
Between entering the third wall and the top of Qinggu in the northeast corner, there is a vast flat open area, where tens of thousands of people can almost be accommodated. In ancient times, this was a large platform that looked like a large parade ground and was called a 10,000-person platform. According to legend, this is where the teaching army practiced and was stationed, and the top of the Qinggu is where the sacred flame is located. As for Qinggu Dingzhong, the large reserve hole where the army was taught to reserve food and ordnance was no longer found after the great war in the Tongzhi period of the Qing Dynasty. It is said that it was completely destroyed by the burning and explosion at the time, and the legendary giant cave has never been found again.
On the northwest edge of the 10,000-person platform, near the bottomless cliff, there is a strange building made of bluestone. The reason why this bluestone building is strange is that its style is like a temple, not a temple, and it is like a miniature imperial palace. Moreover, it also has a peculiar name - the Palace of the Doctor. This medical officer's palace is obviously different from the ordinary Yaowang Temple and Huatuo Temple, which enshrines a white-haired old medical officer dressed in Qing Dynasty costumes. It has never been found anywhere else, and this is a local cultural presence unique to this Sangwang Mountain.
Walking here, except for the lone wolf, mute, and Xiao Qingfeng who came earlier, the remaining six people were also very surprised. The doll who wants to break the casserole to the end of everything, pesters the lone wolf who barely stops along the way, and asks him to continue to explain the story of this strange medical officer's palace. The lone wolf looked at the mute and continued to pretend to be "dumb", while Xiao Qingfeng had already slipped to the far side by himself. Under the continuous urging of the doll and the prodigal son, the lone wolf shook his head helplessly, and had to continue to be his "free tour guide".
After a short rest, the lone wolf cleared his throat, shook his head and said loudly, "Ladies and gentlemen, listen to the truth. It is said that during the Xianfeng period of the Qing Dynasty, there was such a great careerist in our YZ City who called himself the emperor of Tianzhong. It is said that he was a good student who read poetry and books in his early years, but for some reason he has not been able to be admitted to a national key university, so naturally he did not have the opportunity to be admitted to the civil service at that time and become an official of the Eight Units serving the people. Later, this guy got angry, yes, didn't you admit me? It's a big deal that I have created a new world for myself, and I have brought a group of comrades who have also met with the same talents to fight for my own happiness all my life. Not to mention, this guy is really a bit crooked, and it didn't take a few years for him to make him fiddle with a series of evil books and monsters, preaching what 'three religions are one, the world is unified', what 'the world is opposed, he is the king', what 'vote for the holy king, keep the peace' and other nihilistic theories of gods and monsters. Like the current cults, they blindly preach that as long as they believe in his doctrine, they can enjoy everything out of thin air without hard work, and even if they cannot reach the ideal state of Datong in this life, they will certainly be able to ascend to the Elysium after death. After more than ten years of propaganda and painstaking instigation and contact, he really gathered a large number of ignorant believers and some frustrated literati with different aims. Later, it coincided with the natural disasters that Shandong suffered for several consecutive years, coupled with the corruption and inaction of the imperial court, and a large number of homeless victims appeared. For the sake of a simple life, victims of disasters who have no way to survive have risen up one after another. As soon as this buddy was summed up, this was a God-given opportunity, so he took the opportunity to make a big move, and in a short time, hundreds of thousands of parishioners really gathered. ”
