Sleeping Arhat

Chapter 42 Cliff Cry
The sky was gray, and when he looked up at the vast and cloudless sky, Wu Xian couldn't help but sigh in his heart: Today's sky is clear and the clouds are light, it's a good day to go down the cliff.

After eating two large pancakes and drinking a sip of sake, he tied the long rope to a boulder, and then went down the cliff with tools on his back.Half an hour later, watching the misty mist running, there was another small violent storm, Wu Xian grasped the long rope with both hands up and down, his feet had no strength, so he could only try his best to wrap around the hemp rope, his whole body The heavy weight fell on the rope, Wu Xian did not dare to relax for a moment, he was already prepared for the rope to break.

When the wind was quieter, Wu Xian calmed down, his eyes kept scanning his hands, rock walls and cliffs, and he didn't dare to look directly into the abyss. There was a burst of weakness, and a feeling of fear in my heart.

But for some reason, when I accidentally caught a glimpse of the abyss from the corner of my eyes, I always felt that the cliff had a slight attraction, like a magnet and an iron needle, and my body seemed to want to jump down involuntarily. The uncontrollable crazy thoughts in my heart, Wu Xian hurriedly raised his eyes to the rock wall, not daring to look at the cliff at all.

After going down the cliff, Wu Xian realized how high and steep this mountain is. Compared with the mountain Wu Xian went down the cliff before, the rocks on the cliff of this mountain protrude much outwards, so the protruding part is suspended in the air. After putting down the rope, The rope hangs down straight like a straight line, and Wu Xian can only use his whole body's strength on the rope. Wu Xian visually judges that the rock wall is one foot away from him, and his feet can't touch it at all. Wu Xian swayed over the wooden branch, clamped his feet on the rock, and could rest for a while.

Riding on a branch as thick as an arm, Wu Xian peered at the still unclear bottom of the cliff. At this time, the sun had climbed to the center of the sky, and there was a trace of warmth on Wu Xian's skin. Inner breath and physical strength, after a sip of sake, Wu Xian shouted from the cliff: "Zhang Wuji, where are you?"

"Where are you?"..."Where?"..."Where?" Wu Xian's immature and sonorous voice echoed in the empty valley for a long time, and a few birds were startled by the shout and shot out from their nests among the cliffs , and then scurrying in the sky, as if looking for the culprit, finally calmed down, and then circled and flew into the distance.

After a while, the voice disappeared between the cliffs, and Wu Xian suddenly felt a burst of powerless despair. He had been down the cliff for two hours, and he had descended hundreds of feet, but he still couldn't get any response. How high is this cliff?Going down the mountain, if Wu Xian couldn't find a place to stay, and couldn't climb to the top, then he had to grab an umbrella and fall off the cliff to escape.

However, although the hundred steel umbrella can help Wu Xian increase the resistance of the air, so his body will be lighter, so the falling force can be reduced a lot, so the momentary force when he lands is much smaller. Leveraging strength, as well as the lightness method in the red apricot stepping on the branches, can add a lot of vitality.

However, the rigidity of the iron umbrella is limited. If it is damaged halfway, or if the downward trend cannot be stopped, then it is possible to travel back.

Just when Wu Xian was struggling in his heart and couldn't make a choice for a long time, a seemingly invisible voice echoed in Wu Xian's ears. Wu Xian seemed to hear a human voice coming from the empty valley, but there seemed to be no sound, but own hallucinations.

Wu Xian sat on a pine branch, peeping up and down to observe the surrounding environment. The top of his head was unobstructed, only the yellowish-gray cliffs, with five or six feet of uneven rock walls on the left and right, spread out to both sides in an irregular shape, as if Form a three-dimensional column, and then go down to protrude a sloping boulder. The boulder protrudes seven or eight feet high. From here, the rope is stretched down along the boulder. Looking from the top of the boulder, I saw the abyss shrouded in indifferent clouds and mist.

Slightly subsiding the panic in his heart, Wu Xian stretched out his hand to tighten the iron ring on his belt, and it was still steady. The thick rope passed through the iron ring and fell down the cliff. Wu Xian adjusted his mentality and swung away from the pine branch protruding from the cliff. Grab the rope and slide down slowly.

In less than a stick of incense time, Wu Xian has already slid to the bottom, that is, on the huge rock on the steep slope. People are so strange when they step on the rock with their feet. Immediately let go, peace of mind.

Slowly moving his hand to the lower end of the rope, when the whole person stepped on the highest end of the huge boulder, Wu Xian lowered his head, and saw that there was still a rock wall to lean on out of the corner of his eye, so he stepped back with his right foot, stepping on a buckle. On the rock, he hung his left foot in the air and wanted to walk.

With a scratch, a burst of yellow and gray surged up, Wu Xian stepped on the air and fell down, "Ah", Wu Xian panicked, suddenly screamed for no reason, the whole person slid down like a shuttle, hitting left and right on the rock wall Rolling down, there was no time to think about it when he was flustered, Wu Xian couldn't see the hemp rope in his eyes, and instinctively wanted to use his hands to grab the rock wall, but the force of falling was unstoppable, and every time he clasped a layer of rock wall with both hands, , just scratched the fragile rock, or could not stop it with insufficient strength, and scratched his hands so that his body was covered with cuts and bruises.

Cengcengceng rubbed down the stones.The friction between Wu Xian's body and the stone wall slightly blocked the falling momentum, and the gravel fell from the corner at a faster speed, and disappeared into the clouds and mist in an instant.

After the body slid down the boulder, it kept falling along the steep rock wall. Wu Xian's whole body was covered with scars, especially when the corner of his eyebrow touched the sharp stone, a big wound was drawn, "I'm stupid." Wu Xian yelled, falling at a very fast speed The body suddenly slowed down, and then slid down another distance, and finally this trend stopped.

Wu Xian tightly grasped the hemp rope with both hands, and the bright red traces on the withered yellow hemp rope were particularly dazzling. Drops of donated blood slid from Wu Xian's fist holding the rope to the back of his palm, and dripped down again. Blood mixed with sweat slid across his face and dripped down his sweaty chin.Wu Xian survived the catastrophe at this moment, the secretion of adrenaline made the excitement fluctuate, and he didn't pay attention to the bumps and bumps on his body at all.

There was a blank in my mind, only the 'thump, thud,' heart beating wildly, and the heavy panting of excessive fright, and gradually the pain emerged, the whole body was bruised and bumped and uncomfortable, the corners of the eyebrows were stinging, the rope on both hands was scratched and the skin was torn, It was like holding two red-hot iron rods in each hand, I couldn't tell whether it was hot or tingling, I just felt the hot feeling rushing to my heart along the palm of my hand.

But at this time, Wu Xian didn't have time to think about it. There was no place for his body to draw on. All the strength in his body was attached to his palms and between his feet. In his current state, he couldn't move up the huge boulder, so he had to grit his teeth and walk the 'dead end'. Wu Xian I went down more cautiously, trying to find a place where I fell to rest temporarily and treat the wound.

Just dragging his disabled body like this, and slow down for a cup of tea time, Wu Xian looked down and his neck was so sore, and two green branches stretched out of his eyes, so stubborn and energetic, Wu Xian felt sore in his heart. Somehow, a warm feeling came to my heart.
