Some people are born luckier than others.
This luck does not mean eating better, dressing warmer than others, or being richer, but when life is at stake, it can always come and go.
The swordsman is such a person.
Although he doesn't even have a decent name, that's because he doesn't care about himself, and only thinks about pursuing the peak of martial arts. The killer of Piaoping Pavilion called him the leader with fear and jealousy, but the swordsman didn't care. Ayan Puka's subordinates called him Su Li'er maliciously, and he was not angry.
Even as long as the contemptuous ending is not added, the first two words are used as names.
Anyway, he didn't want to be famous in the world, and he didn't care if anyone remembered him after he died.
The old monk Yuanzhi asked him to put down the butcher's knife, and he felt that other than the knife, everything else could be discussed.
- The knife cannot be thrown, the head can be dropped, and the knife cannot leave the body.
However, at this moment, the swordsman fell into deep self-doubt. He looked down at the sword, and clenched his teeth into the crevice of the rock.
He jumped again, stepped on the blade lightly, and landed on the root of the tree protruding from the mud wall.
Su Kasa maintained this posture and looked up.
It is still seven or eight feet away from the entrance of the cave.
Bare, with no more rocks or roots to lean on.
This is a naturally formed underground cave, which is often found in Yizhou and the southwest area, and is usually called Tiankeng by the mountain people.
Seen from above, it is just a hole, but below it, there are rivers and forests, and you can't even walk for a long time.
The Tiankeng in front of me is not so large. It is the size of two rooms when it is full. There are only some relatively low plants growing in it. The rest are stones and soil, and the sound of running water can be faintly heard. But Feihe Mountain was full of water, and Su Li couldn't tell whether the sound came from a nearby stream or an underground river nearby.
The hole is straight up and down, without any slope.
Even a top expert can't jump 100 feet high without any leverage, then he is not a Jianghu person, he must be a god.
The swordsman jumped back to the bottom of the pit helplessly, and silently pulled the sword back.
He wiped the blade with the corner of his clothes again with heartache.
He took a step back and looked carefully at the hole that had pitted him.
It was like being in an uncapped tomb with a narrow entrance, only the size of a well.
The swordsman sighed and went around the cave wall to find a route to climb. Ordinary people will die if they fall, and martial arts masters can also try the gecko roaming technique, which is to climb the steep upside-down rock face with the back down.
Along the way, the swordsman saw the bones of beasts such as foxes, badgers, and weasels.
Some of the fur was still there, shriveled over the bones.
Some of them were bitten to pieces, and their furs were gnawed. They should have been eaten by other beasts who were lucky enough to fall on the leaves and other buffer zones after falling to death or starving to death.
In other words, it's really bad luck that you don't fall to your death on the spot. Trapped in this hole, you can't get up, let alone give birth to a pair of wings.
With his extraordinary eyesight, Su Li figured out a feasible way. He folded some branches in the woods at the bottom of the pit and put them around his waist, ready to go when there are rocks in the distance but he can't get through without any strength. Find a crevice to insert into.
Although he was very light-handed, his life was at stake. The branch should not be too thin, too thin to hold up, nor too thick, and too thick to be sent into the crevices of the rock.
Of course, if you are infused with infuriating energy, any branch can be plunged in, but the branch will be "brittle".
The surface seems to be intact, but it cracks with force.
Su Li picked it up for a long time, and suddenly heard a movement in the grass next to him.
He took a stride, stunned to push the contents out, chased and blocked it in the corner of the rock wall.
It was a badger with a brown body and three vertical lines of black, brown and white on its head. It was screaming fiercely at the swordsman.
However, it hummed like a pig, and because of its thinness, the sound was extremely low.
Su Li looked at it and walked away.
The Badger huddled hurriedly into the grass.
After a while, it quietly stuck out its head and watched the human climb slowly on the rock wall, more agile than a monkey.
Su Li slid under his feet, turned over three times in the air, and landed firmly on the ground.
Badger's eyes widened, wondering why this human hadn't fallen to his death.
The swordsman pondered for a while, and then began to climb the rock wall again.
I failed twice like this, and when I waited for the third time, the swordsman hadn't gone up, and suddenly felt that there was something next to him.
—The badger crouched on the ground and looked at him eagerly.
Badgers have very sharp claws and are good at digging soil. They can eat earthworms and insects in the soil. Although there is nothing else at the bottom of the pit, the soil is very fertile. This badger has been struggling to survive for more than 20 days, and the bugs at the bottom of the pit are about to be eaten by it.
Although the swordsman did not know the badger's experience, he could see that it was calling for help.
This is a very risky behavior, and it is possible for people to slaughter it and eat it.
Su Kasa ignored it.
Badger barked a few times in a hurry, then moved forward boldly in front of him.
Swordsman: "..."
Even if you kill someone without blinking an eye, how dare a badger stand in your way? Isn't that meat delivered to your door
After half an hour—
Su Li tied the badger's two sharp front claws with a belt, took off his coat to make a cloth pocket, put it on his back, and climbed up the rock wall silently.
At the same time, he murmured in his heart, why does this Feiheshan creature seem to be so smart? It grows in the wild, but also knows how to wink, and can pretend to beg.
Su Li tried on the ground a few times just now, and the badger didn't riot or struggle.
Maybe it's fate, the swordsman tried his best to climb up while thinking.
This time it went well, until when it was about to approach the top of the cave, the swordsman found that it was not good.
The rock at the entrance of the cave is not firm, and it is in danger of collapsing at any time if the hand is swaying.
Tiankeng is the "underworld" exposed by the collapse of the dome rock. Most of them have been formed, but some are still expanding.
Su Li was in trouble. The entrance of the cave was close at hand, but there was no way to fall. It was impossible to jump from this distance, and he had to jump sideways to the upper left.
Su Kasa slowly moved his position and tried the rocks next to him.
With a little force, the gravel rolls down immediately.
"Snapped."
A smaller rock cracked directly and fell to the ground.
The hollow voice spread far, and the swordsman gritted his teeth and decided to slap it with a palm to accelerate the collapse of the rock wall.
When the top is about to collapse, he will save more effort by climbing up, but in this way, he must risk being injured by gravel, and because he cannot dodge, he has to fall to the ground again. It is extremely difficult for a person to avoid the collapsing gravel in midair.
Su Li tilted his head slightly and raised his right palm.
"Wait a minute."
Along with the sound came a shadow.
Someone was on the top of the cave, blocking part of the sunlight.
The swordsman looked over vigilantly, because he couldn't see the other's face because of the backlight.
"... Su Li? Why are you here?"
The swordsman was also shocked when he heard the sound, and almost wanted to rub his eyes, but fortunately he thought in time that his hand could not be loosened, otherwise he would fall.
"Don't approach, you can't step on this side, the stone will collapse." The swordsman did not ask for help, but instead asked the person to step back.
Mo Li took two steps back according to the words.
Yes, it's Doctor Mo, Doctor Mo with a big bamboo basket and a medicine hoe.
There were not enough herbs in the reeds, but the common people couldn't live without the decoction.
Fortunately, Feihe Mountain is full of spiritual energy, and the herbs grow well, so it doesn't take much effort to find them.
On the contrary, the tit needs to return to the spiritual cave to recuperate, so the ink carp took it with it when it went out and put it in the basket.
When they came out of the reeds, the ink carp dug up a herb and was about to put it in the basket and suddenly found that something was wrong. The tit is gray and has no yellow hair. What happened to the root in the basket? With a flip of his hand, he uncovered the coarse cloth that was going to be covered with herbs to keep out the sun, and he "captured" a chubby gerbil.
Mo Li was speechless for a moment, he didn't even catch the gerbil, but stared at the tit.
-what happened
- Didn't you fight when you met
- How did you stay in the basket peacefully all the way
Tit turned her head, chirping as if humming a song, pretending she didn't know anything.
The gerbil was different. It took two steps and took the initiative to climb up the basket, trying to climb onto the ink carp.
Ink carp: "… "
I didn't bring a bamboo cup, but I can dig a few rhizoma rhizomes later, and boil it for a while to reduce the fire to the national teacher.
"You just ran out like this, what about the people at Reeddang?" Mo Li put the gerbil on his shoulders and scolded Meng Qi as he walked.
The gerbil waved his paw, indicating that it was all right, that young man who loved to run away had already been honest, and others would not leave even if they chased them away with a whip.
Besides, I just copied the old nest of Xiliang people yesterday, and the people who escaped did not dare to come back today.
Meng Qi is worried about letting the tit and the ink carp go out alone!
"And... what happened to you and the Feihe Mountain Dragon Vein just now?"
Mo Li asked with great difficulty. Originally, he could ask these words calmly, but when he thought of gerbils and tits huddled together in a basket, and two chubby round dumplings next to each other, Mo Li suddenly felt very uncomfortable. taste.
The gerbil raised his head to look at the ink carp, the body size was smaller, and the expression on the ink carp's face seemed to have enlarged a lot.
It was so blessed that it suddenly understood, and the gerbil immediately waved its paws towards the tit and made a shove away action, then slipped into the arms of the ink carp, uncovered its clothes and got in, and patted the heart of the ink carp with its paws. , lie comfortably on it.
It really shows the position of the "heart rat" with actions.
Ink carp: "… "
I didn't know what was going on in the basket, but the tit, who felt the atmosphere was not right, flapped its wings suddenly and chirped.
The ink carp threw the cloth back into the basket, and was covered with a tit all over: "..."
The dragon veins of Feihe Mountain are so angry, I even feel that I have misread the ink carp. You two dragon veins came to my house and kissed me. Haven't you thought about how it feels
So Mo Li carried one in his arms and carried one in the basket, collecting medicine all the way to this depression.
This place is extremely remote and steep and difficult to navigate. There is a large area that is always on the back side of the sun. Mo Li felt that there would be rare herbs in it, so he stepped in.
As a result, after digging up a few herbs, the ink carp heard a strange sound coming from the ground, as if the bottom was empty.
He took a few steps and found a rope net with a sharp arrow in the tree, as if someone had set a trap here.
And it's not a trap that hunters hunt.
It is difficult for ordinary people to come here, unless they are from the rivers and lakes, or rock climbers and herbalists.
Mo Li was vigilant, and immediately saw the hole and the faint shadows shaking below.
At first glance, the size of the hole shocked the ink carp.
This is not a trap dug casually, but a sinkhole that has been deliberately used.
The pile of grass and leaves next to it is the evidence. Someone covered the hole with a large piece of rotten wood, then spread dead branches and leaves on it, and set up traps on the nearby trees. The arrows control the foothold of the evaders, and finally lead the person to the plank very accurately.
Who is so unlucky
Who was calculated like this
