017: Adventure in the Cave
The person who came was Han Xiao, who she thought about day and night, and did not hesitate to fall into the beggar to stay and wait, who was at the bottom of the valley. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
The day after the slaughter of Baijiabao, that is, Lin Xian'er climbed the back mountain at the risk of death in order to save Han Xiao, and when he was thrown down, Han Xiao at the bottom of the Meridian Valley woke up in the faint light at the entrance of the cave.
After two days of waiting, he was now basically sure that there must have been a major change in Baijiabao above. Now don't expect others to save him, he can only save himself. And the first thing that is imminent is hunger. I haven't eaten for two days and I'm already hungry to the extreme.
As Lin Xian'er was worried, Han Xiao, who was extremely hungry, really didn't think of eating grass to satisfy his hunger. Wolves travel thousands of miles to eat meat, never grass. Even if it's scrap of meat. So after drinking some water from the Cumulus Pool, Han Xiao picked up the leftover chicken bones that he had eaten a few days ago and gnawed them again, at first he was a little embarrassed, but once he put his mouth down, he found that the more he gnawed, the more fragrant he became, so that later he even sucked and licked it, and he was very happy, and cleaned the bones as clean as stones.
Throwing away the last bone, he still felt a little unfinished, so he smashed his mouth and muttered: "No wonder the iron mastiff usually likes to gnaw bones so much, it turns out that the meat on the bones is so delicious...... After saying that, he found something again, and hurriedly jumped up, carefully picked up all the bones scattered on the ground one by one, carefully received a clean stone, and muttered in his mouth: "The bones are full of calcium, which is a nutritious product, but you can't throw it away, maybe you will have to eat bones like a dog for the next meal......"
"Strange, why do I say 'calcium'? What is calcium?" Han Xiao shook his head, feeling a little nervous, maybe he was faint from hunger. Fortunately, after a storm just now, I feel a little regained now.
But he didn't dare to cultivate on his own, for fear of wasting his physical strength. Sitting cross-legged, bored with a glimpse of a few pieces of oiled paper thrown messily on the side. (This is a few battle reports handed down by Lin Xian'er before, because they were soaked in chanterelle and yellow, so they look like oiled paper)
Han Xiao couldn't help but pick it up and read the text on it again word by word. Expect to find some clues between the lines. When he noticed that several of the handwriting on it was soaked in oil and could not be seen clearly, he pointed the paper to the sunlight outside and looked hard.
Suddenly, I noticed that the part that had been oiled seemed to have a corner pattern when viewed in the sunlight. Han Xiao became curious, thought for a while, ran to the outside of the cave, chose a place where the sun shone, and pasted the paper on the stone smoothly.
I saw a human figure vaguely revealed on the old yellow paper. The man's posture was strange, as if he was walking barehand on a steep mountain wall. The mountain wall was steep, and he looked as if he were walking on flat ground.
Han Xiao seemed to realize something, and hurriedly ran back to the cave, picked up a few other pieces of old paper, and carefully pasted them side by side on the stones. After the sun shines, sure enough, there is a portrait on each piece of paper, and on each portrait, or on the soles of the feet, or on the side of the eyes, there are a few tiny handwritings, which cannot be seen if you are not careful.
According to the different poses of the portraits, he roughly arranged the order. The first one is a person carrying a bamboo basket on his back, smiling at the majestic mountain in front of him, with his left foot slightly raised and his right foot lightly divided, making a starting posture, which is vivid. There are four small characters next to it, and the title is "Empty Mountain Collecting Medicine".
The second one is the same person just now, who is already in the depths of the mountain, but his strange feet are floating on the dry grass, as light as a willow. What's even better is that the scenes in the first and second paintings are different, but they give a sense of continuity, as if the person in the painting takes one step and enters the mountain from outside the mountain, as if he is instantly displaced. There are also four words next to it, called "deep and hairless".
The third is "Road to Tiger". The picture shows this man trying to climb a steep slope, but there is a colorful tiger in front of him. Han Xiao was not only worried about the medicine pickers. saw that his eyes were slightly closed, and he looked confident. Carefully looking at the movements under his feet and waist, Han Xiao's heart moved, and he felt that if he exerted his strength according to this posture, he would definitely be able to skillfully avoid the tiger.
Hurriedly look at the fourth one. In the picture, there is a rushing river, the water is vast, but there is no boat to cross. The person in the painting is holding a reed, a posture of wanting to throw himself into the water. There are four words inscribed next to it: find a new way.
The fifth is a cliff, in which the person in the painting is on a stone with one hand, floating in the air, and the other hand leisurely picking a Ganoderma lucidum grass in the crack of the stone. Next to it is written: Danzhi lingering incense.
The sixth one has already picked the Ganoderma lucidum in his hand and is about to leave. This is also the scene on the picture that Han Xiao first saw, in which the person in the painting walked vertically on the cliff, as if he were walking on the ground. Carefully identify, next to it is written: cliff long line.
The cliff is long, the cliff is long, Han Xiao muttered to it, as if he realized something, suddenly he jumped up, looked at the six pictures again in turn, and read them together: "Empty mountain medicine, deep hairless, road encounter tigers, find another way, danzhi incense, cliff long line ......" while reading, while carefully identifying the different postures of the people in the painting.
At first glance, it seems to be just a few simple poses, but once you dive into them, you realize that each pose contains hundreds of subtle differences.
For example, in the first "Empty Mountain Collecting Medicine", on the surface, it seems that the left foot is slightly raised and the right foot is lightly divided, but if you look closely, you find that this person has at least hundreds of subtle distortion changes from head to toe, and these hundreds of subtle distortion changes are just for the same purpose, that is, to take this step.
The more Han Xiao looked at it, the more frightened he became, and when he saw the end, he couldn't help but be surprised. These few mantras seem to be an ordinary "medicine picking song". But there is clearly a set of very clever light exercises.
He studied the first one, and suddenly found that as the daylight became dim, the handwriting and portraits on the paper were gradually blurred. I didn't care about delving into it, so I hurriedly mobilized every memory cell in my head, memorized life and death, and deeply imprinted the content on the six pictures into my brain. In order to make sure that it was just in case, I hurriedly carved it on the ground as much as possible with a stone based on my memory. After all this, the sky was already dark and invisible.
Although it was dark, Han Xiao's eyes were bright.
He is like entering Baoshan, and he selflessly cultivates several light exercises in this "Medicine Picking Song". It is said that he is only an eighth-turn cultivator now, and it will be difficult for him to cultivate the exercises before he breaks through the battle spirit and opens up the dantian. But this "medicine picking song" is also peculiar, it seems to have been specially invented for people who have not opened up the vitality of the dantian, Han Xiao faintly feels that there is a place in common with body and mind.
No matter how much it is, starting with the first type of "Empty Mountain Herb Collection", he relied on his memory, like a mechanic debugging complex machinery, patiently controlling every muscle in his body, as close as possible to the posture of the person in the painting, and then according to the feeling when he stepped on, he figured out the coordination between each muscle and the strength that should be used.
Once, twice, a hundred, two hundred, a thousand, two thousand...... Suddenly, I got it right, as if I had touched a mechanism, and I stepped out, and like an arrow from a string, I reached the opposite side of the mountain wall, and my nose almost touched the stone. In a panic, he fell to the ground.
Han Xiao was overjoyed, and hurriedly got up and tried again, who knew that he was excited, but he forgot how he felt just now. So I groped and debugged from scratch and one by one......
When there was a glimmer of light in the cave the next day, Han Xiao, who had been practicing all night, finally found some way to find the method of "collecting medicine from the empty mountain", and took ten steps, eight of which could work, and he could almost step out of a distance of more than one zhang. By the time the sun came in again, and it was noon outside, he had already mastered the trick of "collecting medicine in the empty mountain". Step out in one step, and be able to move a distance of two feet with ease.
The miraculous exercises made him forget to sleep and eat. Then practice "deep and hairless". The essence of this formula seems to lie in "lightness". With the foundation of practicing the first form, the progress of the second form is obviously faster. By the second day, with the first type of "empty mountain medicine collection", Han Xiao was already able to walk on the shrub branches at the bottom of the valley.
On the third day, I smashed a few bones and ate some bone marrow. Then go on to practice "Encounter a Tiger on the Road". The trick to this formula seems to lie in "ingenuity". After two days of cultivation, Han Xiao has been able to use the "skillful" strength of his comprehension, and with the cooperation of the first two styles, he can walk for a short time on the mountain wall at the bottom of the valley ten zhang high.
In this way, it seems that getting out of the valley is just around the corner. It's a pity that people are not machines after all, all the remaining bones are smashed open one by one, and all the edible parts are eaten, and even some small bone residues are chewed and swallowed into the stomach. There was no food to eat, and the strength in his body was losing minute by minute, and when he was practicing, Han Xiao felt a little overwhelmed.
Moreover, this fourth style "finds another way", focusing on borrowing things to fly, is obviously much more esoteric than the first three styles, Han Xiao turned over and over, sweating profusely, and did not know the essentials.
I can't help but be depressed.
Sitting alone on a stone at the bottom of the valley, looking at the gray sky above, I felt a sense of loneliness for the first time. Could it be that I, Han Xiao, am young and full of ambition and unpaid, and I am going to be trapped and die in this deep valley that no one knows? God is so cruel!
Thinking of this, there was a resentment in his chest, and he screamed, and struggled to use the first form of the medicine collection song, "Empty Mountain Medicine", and rushed towards a slightly inclined mountain wall opposite.
The feet stepped up more than three zhang, the strength was exhausted, the waist twisted in mid-air, the toes borrowed strength on the mountain wall, "deep and hairless", and stepped up obliquely for three zhang; followed by the "road and the tiger", exhausted the last trace of strength, and rushed up a few feet.
Further up, the mountain wall became smoother, and Han Xiao felt that the strength in his body was draining away at an extremely fast rate like water being pumped out of a pool. His body shook, and his eyes were a little black.
This distance of more than 10 zhang high, fall down like this, and you must not fall and be crippled?
But the body has become like an incapacitated gecko and begins to fall. Han Xiao let out a muffled scream, and at the last moment, he mustered up a little strength and jumped to a slightly raised place next to him.
Who knew that he couldn't hold his strength and hit his head on the mountain wall. Hearing only a bang, the mountain wall seemed to have collapsed, and Han Xiao's instinctive hand planing foot pedal in his panic actually hung there. After reacting and looking at it again, I couldn't help but be pleasantly surprised. It turned out that this slightly convex mountain wall turned out to be a wooden plank, which was camouflaged similar to a stone wall, and behind the wooden plank, it was actually a dark cave.
No one would have imagined that on this mountain wall more than ten feet high, there would be a cave.
