Chapter 730: Nowhere to hide
Before the two of them came to the gentle slope, they looked at it, but their brows were furrowed, just because although the slope was not steep, but dozens of zhang below, there was a huge gully that crossed over, just blocking the passage down.
Hua Bushi gasped and said, "Could it be that this peak is actually a Jedi? These cliffs on all four sides are hundreds of zhang high, and we were stopped here by the people in the Demon Dao, but it was very bad. ”
This Yuyang Mountain is a straight and steep rock wall on one side, and the slope on the other side is relatively gentle, both of them thought that as long as they go up to the peak, they can find the path down the mountain from the gentle side, but they did not expect that there is such a huge ditch and cliff on the gentle slope, completely blocking the way.
If there was no way out of this Jedi, as long as those Demon Daoists blocked the tunnel down, the situation of the two of them would be even more disadvantageous than if they were trapped on the mountainside before.
Guo Loumeng said: "Let's go over and take a look." He picked up Hua Bushi and swept down the slope.
Three ups and downs, Guolou Meng took Hua Bushi to the front of the giant ravine, but saw that this cliff was twenty or thirty zhang wide, and the probe Xiangxia watched, but it was pitch black and bottomless.
Guoloumeng ran along the edge of the cliff for dozens of zhang, but saw that this cliff just cut off all the passages down the mountain, although the edge was a little uneven, but the narrowest place was at least about 20 zhang.
In the martial arts, a person who can jump out of a few zhang can be called a good light skill, and those who can jump out of ten zhang are rare, and they can be regarded as top masters, and even if they are peerless masters, if there is nowhere to borrow strength halfway, it is difficult to jump out of fifteen zhang, and it is beyond the reach of human beings to cross the distance of twenty zhang.
After taking Hua Bushi around in a big circle, Guo Loumeng stopped on the edge of the cliff and put the eldest young master on the ground.
Hua Bushi smiled bitterly: "Both sides of this cliff are empty, not even a convex stone, not a big tree can be seen, I think it is the people in the demon path have already cleared the things that can be borrowed, we have a hook and claw lasso, but I am afraid that we can also be sad about this cliff." ”
Guo Loumeng sneered: "This cliff can stop others, but it can't be difficult for the old man." ”
Hua Bushi looked overjoyed when he heard this, and said, "Is there a way for the seniors to be able to get over? This is great!"
Guolou Meng said: "The old man's 'Tian Toad Step' light martial arts are unparalleled in the world, and he can get by, but he can't bring you with him." ”
Hua Bushi said: "It doesn't matter, as long as the predecessors can pass this cliff, they will definitely find the woods if they go down a short distance, you just need to cut some vine bark to make a long rope, throw it over the cliff to pull me over." ”
Guo Lou Meng said: "You have a good way, but the old man crossed the cliff to make a rope, you are not allowed to escape by yourself!"
Hua Bushi smiled slightly, and said: "It turns out that the seniors are worried about this matter, this is not necessary! The top of the cliff here is a Jedi, if the people in the demon path catch up, they will definitely kill me, even for the sake of their own lives, I can only wait here for the seniors to rescue, where will there be any other way out." ”
Guo Loumeng's eyes flashed, staring at Hua Bushi's face, and after a while, he said, "This is also true." Okay, the old man will believe you once!"
To jump over the cliff in front of him, Guolou Meng's mouth seems to be easy, but it is not easy to do. He sat cross-legged on the ground for a while to regain some rejuvenation, and then removed two wooden prosthetic feet from his trousers and set them aside.
He is only five feet tall, and in order to appear taller, he always has a pair of prosthetic feet under his feet, which he never took off even when he fought with the Shaolin monks before, but now he has to take it off.
Guo Loumeng put on his shoes on a pair of real feet, carefully tied his trousers, and chose the narrowest part of the cliff to carefully measure his pace. Seeing this, Hua Bushi did not despise him at all, but admired him a little in his heart.
It is not a fluke for anyone to reach the pinnacle of martial arts, this Great Venerable of the Poison Sect seems to be arrogant and conceited, acting arrogantly and recklessly, but when it comes to the critical moment, he is actually as careful as a hair.
Guo Loumeng stood still after retreating ten zhang from the side of the cliff, and said to Hua Bushi: "The old man will go over the cliff first, you are good to stay here, wait for me to throw the rope and come over to pull you!"
Hua Bushi said: "Yes, seniors, please be careful." ”
Guo Loumeng nodded, took a deep breath, shook his body, and jumped forward. Although Hua Bushi had also seen Guo Loumeng's light martial arts earlier, this was the time when he really did his best, but when he saw the figure flashing, he had jumped out of the cliff like a phantom.
There was a muffled sound, but it was Guoloumeng's zuihou who stepped on the edge of the cliff, and a two-inch-deep footprint was suddenly stepped on the rock, and his figure had already used his strength to fly up and swept towards the opposite side!
Unless it is a bird with wings on its back, or a fairy who can ride the clouds and fog, no one can leap more than fifteen zhang in the sky, this is the limit of light work, and Guoloumeng is no exception. Five feet away from the opposite cliff, he fell down.
Seeing that Guo Loumeng's figure was about to fall into the abyss, but he only heard a muffled sound of "bang", and the stone chips on the opposite cliff were flying, as if he had been hit hard, and Guo Loumeng's figure suddenly jumped up, and he spun up like a dragon, and stepped on the opposite cliff like a green cloud with his feet.
Hua Bushi on this side of the cliff, seeing Guolou Meng jumping over the cliff, couldn't help but shout: "Okay!"
Guolou Meng's ability to cross the 20-zhang wide cliff is not only based on light exercises, but also his unique skill of controlling things. No matter how high his light skills are, he can only leap fifteen zhang long, but the gang qi emitted is enough to touch the rock on the opposite cliff, and with a blow of volley, he has a place to borrow strength in the air and climb the opponent's cliff in one fell swoop.
Although his "Heavenly Toad Step" light skill body method has reached the shocking world, the control of the "Five Poisons Divine Skill" is even more perfect, and it is the combination of these two peerless miraculous skills that can enable him to complete such a transcendent act.
The fruit tower covered the opposite cliff, did not stop, immediately performed light skills, and ran down the mountain. Hua Bushi knew that he was looking for trees and vines so that he could make ropes to pull himself across the cliff.
Seeing Guoloumeng's figure disappear on the opposite cliff, Hua Bushi sat down cross-legged and waited quietly.
Time passed little by little, after a tea time, Guolou Meng had not yet returned, but Hua Bushi suddenly heard a faint noise, which came from the direction of the cliff top to the immortal gate. His face changed, and he immediately grabbed the torch planted in the ground next to him, and threw his hand down the abyss in front of him.
This torch was the lighting thing that Guoloumeng brought out of the cave before, and now it is the third watch in the middle of the night, and the stars and moon in the sky are dim, and it becomes dark when there is no fire.
Hua Bushi leaned down and listened, but the noise became louder and louder, and then a few points of fire appeared from the top of the cliff, and sure enough, it was the Demon Dao Sect who chased after him.
It's easy to escape here, if he is caught by someone in the Demon Dao, it will be really a failure, and if it falls into the hands of Zhuo Yiwen again, this eldest young master is only afraid that he will be killed immediately, and he will never have the same good luck as last time.
The current plan is to find a place to hide for a while, and when Guoloumeng comes back, he can save him from the cliff. Hua Bushi thought so, but when he looked around, there was nothing on the entire cliff, not even a rock or a tree, and he really couldn't find a place to hide, and if those Demon Dao Sect members came over, they could see him at a glance.
The voices and firelight on the peak were getting closer and closer, and Hua Bushi gritted his teeth and climbed towards the edge of the cliff. There is no hiding place on the cliff, and there is only hiding under the cliff, and you may be able to hide for a while.
The cliff side is uneven, all of them are straight and steep stone walls, and some places are concave inward, which is extremely steep. Hua Bushi found a recess, slowly poked out his legs, feet and body, and his two hands were on the edge of the cliff, turning into a situation suspended in the air, and then stepped on the stone wall with his feet, trying his best to shrink his body into the gap in the rock.
In this way, if the person on the cliff did not stand in front of him and poke his head out to investigate, it would be difficult to find out. It's just that such a half-suspended posture in the air may not be much for a person who practices martial arts with a strong physique, but Hua Bushi is extremely difficult to do, and he will not last long, and once his fingers can't climb the rock, he will fall into the bottomless abyss below.
I could hear the noise and footsteps above my head, and it was obvious that the Demon Dao Sect members were searching around on the cliff, and there were at least dozens of people listening to the sounds. Although the cliff on the summit is wide, it is an open place, which is very easy to search, and several times some sect members poked their heads out to look down the cliff, Hua Bushi tried his best to shrink his body into the shadows, but they did not find it.
After a while, the noise on the cliff stopped, but a voice was heard: "Tell the six girls, we have searched all the way, and we can't find those two people on the peak." ”
He called it "Six Girls", and Zhuo Yiwen must have also come.
I only heard Zhuo Yiwen's voice say: "Can't find it, the Shaolin monks guarding the Dengxian Gate are all dead, they must have reached the peak, there is no way out here, how can you not find it?"
The congregant who had pleaded before did not answer, probably not daring to speak out.
Zhuo Yiwen said again: "Can you see the cliff over there?"
The congregation said, "We have all looked at it, but we have not seen anyone." ”
Zhuo Yiwen said, "Give me the torch." ”
A torch stretched out of the cliff edge, and the shadows of the cliff were illuminated by the firelight, and Hua Bushi had nothing to hide. Holding the torch was a slender jade hand, and Zhuo Yiwen's beautiful face looked even more delicate under the red firelight.
"Young Master Hua is a golden body, how dangerous it is to hang on the edge of the cliff like this, let Yiwen pull you up, okay?" Zhuo Yiwen's smile was like a spring flower blooming, and he reached out to hold Hua Bushi's palm on the edge of the cliff.
