Chapter 80: The Law of War (II)
I saw that the girl continued to strike while the iron was hot and said: "Even if they really have someone on duty there, in my opinion, at night, there is such a moat, they will definitely think that it is very safe, and there will not be people on this side of the road who are so serious." Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info And, in my opinion, with the kung fu of the two of us, as long as no one stops us, even if it is a cliff, you can give it a try, and you can still go up with some effort!"
As soon as these words came out, Dugu Jian's determination to go up the mountain from the trail was strengthened. They had already walked through that path twice, and although many of them were very difficult to walk, and now that the cliff was blocked, if they really intended to go from there, the effort and cost would naturally be greater, and it would be much better than breaking through the main gate. Dugu Jian didn't go there in the afternoon, in fact, he was lucky, hoping that these sentinels would withdraw to rest or relax in the evening, but the result was the opposite. Now that there is no such hope, the only way to go up the mountain is to pin on this blocked path.
Just do it, take advantage of the bright moonlight at night to shine on all parts of Huashan, and it also saves the risk that the two of them will easily expose themselves by lighting with torches. Through the grass, through the woods, and over the peaks, the two came to the narrow passage that had been sealed off at the edge of the cliff.
It's so narrow that only one person can pass sideways. Li San told them at that time that if he went up the mountain to collect firewood, he would never go here, because it would never be possible to carry firewood on his back, and he would only come here when he was collecting medicine. At this time, this narrow road dozens of zhang long has been completely blocked by large and small stones from top to bottom, and there is no trace of the original road. If you want to reopen the road, it is estimated that it will take three to five hundred people and another four or five days to clear the stones.
The peaks on both sides of the cliff are steep and straight, and even if you want to climb it, it will be very difficult. Now it seems that those golden soldiers don't know how much effort it took to get so many stones, and I don't know how they all piled up in them to block the road.
"Brother Dugu, it seems that we have to climb over these two cliffs. The girl looked up at the peaks hundreds of feet high, all bare stones, not even trees, from the top of the mountain to their feet, almost straight down, and it was very difficult to find a place to borrow strength. Not to mention the hunters and herb pickers in the ordinary mountains, even if people with strong martial arts like Xiang Dugu Jian and Zhang Linxin want to climb up, it will not be so easy.
Dugu Jian first looked at the two peaks carefully, then looked around, walked to the side and cut a few sections of vines more than ten zhang long with his sword, kneaded them into a vine rope as thick as an arm, tied one end around his waist, and handed the other end to Zhang Linxin, "Lin'er, you also tie it, it must be strong!" The girl understood, nodded, and tied the rope. The two began to climb upwards.
At first, it was better to climb a little, after all, there were slightly more protruding stones and recessed gaps below, and the higher you climbed, the less places you could borrow, and the cliffs became more and more smooth and steep, and it was more and more difficult to continue climbing. After almost half an hour, Kenshin and Kenshin were so tired that they were panting, their hands and feet were sore, they were sweating profusely, and they were exhausted, but when they looked up, they were able to climb more than half of the height.
Looking at the rest of the journey, the two of them almost felt that they really couldn't go up. After resting on the cliff for a while, they felt relieved. Dugu Jian took the lead in climbing up a few feet, and only after Zhang Linxin also climbed up did he continue to go up. Not far up, but there was no point to be found, Dugu Jian looked and looked, and he didn't figure out how to climb over.
"Brother Dugu, why don't you climb?" Zhang Linxin was already under Dugu Jian's body, and the stones she stepped on and the gaps she picked up were all tried out by Dugu Jian one by one in front of her. Dugu Jian looked down at the girl, "Lin'er, there is really no place to borrow strength, you wait a while, I'll find out if there is anything else I can borrow." So saying, he looked into the distance on either side. The girl took out the Yue Nu sword she was carrying and handed it up, "Brother Dugu, it's better to use this Yue Nu sword to carve out a few borrowing points on the cliff!"
Dugu Jian took over the Yue Nu Sword, thinking that this is also a way, I believe that with the sharpness of the Yue Nu Sword, it is still possible to dig a few holes. He held the cliff crack with one hand and dug a hole with the Yue Nu sword with the other. Just like that, the two of them climbed while punching holes, and finally came to the top of the cliff. The narrow slit in the middle is higher and higher, so after they come up, it is much easier to go down from this side, and the mountain is relatively gentle.
The two untied the rope, performed light skills, and jumped off the cliff after a few ups and downs. This is much easier to go further back, although there is a canyon in the middle, but because this canyon is overgrown with trees and has a place to borrow strength, it is difficult for the two of them. It didn't take long for them to come to the gambling pavilion on the first peak. By the bright moonlight, they could also see the situation around them clearly. The last time I was busy going to Huashan to meet Gu Feng, I didn't bother to look at the scenery around me, but this time it was more leisurely than last time, so the two of them sat in the pavilion and drank some water, ate some dry food, and rested for a while.
Suddenly, the girl pointed to the east not far away and said, "Brother Dugu, look at that stone tablet!" Looking in the direction of the girl's finger, she saw a large black stone tablet more than one person high, standing there close to the mountain wall. The two of them approached to take a look, only to see that there were five big white characters written on it: "A Peak Chaoyang".
Zhang Lin's heart suddenly moved, and asked: "Brother Dugu, do you say that the book of war will be hidden in this stone tablet?" Dugu Jian looked up and down, carefully and carefully, and replied with some uncertainty: "It's not good, but if the book of war is really hidden here, how can we find it?" The two people searched around the stone tablet with four eyes, but found nothing. The girl looked carefully at the stele, and there was nothing but the five big white characters of "A Peak and the Rising Sun".
"No, Brother Dugu!" the girl said suddenly. Dugu Jian was stunned for a moment and asked, "Lin'er, what's wrong?" Zhang Linxin squatted down, picked up a stone, wrote the poem and prescription on the ground, and said, "Brother Dugu, look. The girl pointed to these words with her hand: "We only used the first four lines of this poem and the prescription last time, and as for the words 'take the soup at noon, ten doses will be cured' at the end of the prescription, what does this mean? I guess the specific location must be related to these two sentences!"
Dugu Jian also had an understanding, yes, they didn't think about the last two sentences in the prescription at all, but at this moment, there is another article in these two sentences!
"Ten doses of soup at noon will heal you......," both of them muttered incessantly, thinking about what the meaning of these two sentences was.
"Lunchtime, lunchtime, noon, noon,......" the girl said, shaking her head back and forth, her gaze suddenly swept to the stele. This stele is carved from a piece of black stone, and the black stone -- at noon, doesn't this make sense? Zhang Linxin only felt that he suddenly became enlightened, and it seemed that his initial idea was correct, and the book of war was indeed hidden near this black stone! So if you guess down like this, you can be cured with ten doses, isn't that "ten blows can be all-you-can-meet"? At this moment, all the explanations were clear!
The girl pulled the Dugu sword and said happily: "Brother Dugu, I understand! Look!" As she spoke, the girl stretched out her hand and knocked ten times in a row on the stone tablet, and each time there would be a buzzing echo. Suddenly, I saw the sound of "Karala" coming from the gambling chess booth not far away. The two hurriedly turned around and ran again, and sure enough, on the iron chessboard in the middle of the gambling kiosk, it was split into two pieces, and a large hole was exposed in the middle, and a wooden box was placed in the hole.
The faces of the two of them suddenly showed a look of joy, Dugu Jian reached out and took out the wooden box, opened the lid, and saw that there was indeed a book inside, and there were four big characters written on the cover of the book - "The Art of Guarding the Guard"! )
