Six Ways of Fumo

Chapter 405
Book next time.

Seeing Wu Zhanzhan doing this, Ding Ermiao didn't dare to disturb him and just watched silently.Gu Qinglan was even more amazed at the magic of Maoshan technique, and held her breath on the side.Li Qingdong looked at the terrain while stroking his beard thoughtfully.

After a while, Wu Zhanzhan, who was sitting cross-legged on the ground, suddenly changed his gestures and said, "Hey! Why is there a hole in this steep wall? Oops... Oops!"

Ding Ermiao was startled and asked hurriedly: "What's wrong, junior sister?"

"Oh..., it's nothing, the paper crane is lost." Wu Zhanzhan stood up, rubbed his eyes, looked at Ding Ermiao and others and said:
"The depth below was unfathomable. The paper crane flew down for two miles, but still could not reach the bottom of the valley. Then the paper crane flew up again, and found a circular hole on the steep wall, which could allow people to enter and exit. I don't know where it leads. Where. I was about to control the paper crane to fly in to check, but there was a huge draft and sucked my paper crane into the hole."

"Where is the entrance of the cave?" Ding Ermiao asked.

Based on intuition, Ding Ermiao felt that there was something wrong with the hole.

Wu Zhanzhan pointed eastward with his hand: "About 300 meters over there, and 100 meters straight down, is the entrance of the cave."

"Then go over and take a look. If anyone enters or exits the cave, there will definitely be traces on the cliff." Ding Ermiao waved his hand and asked everyone to walk east together.

It is even more difficult to go eastward. The cracks in the rocks are full of thorns, and there is no way to find them.Ding Ermiao had no choice but to use the thousands of people as hatchets, split open a path, and led them through.

"Almost, right here." Wu Zhanzhan stopped, walked to the edge of the deep valley, and looked down.

The clouds and clouds below are still misty and unpredictable, but the cliff at your feet is even steeper, almost like a knife cutting straight down.But looking towards the opposite mountain peak, the nine waterfalls are much clearer than before, and you can see the white water.

Gu Qinglan looked around, then squatted down, broke off a dead branch, fiddled with the loose soil on the ground, and suddenly said: "Someone has walked here before, and it seems like they often walk here."

Ding Ermiao and others gathered around and looked at the ground in front of Gu Qinglan, but found nothing.

"Look, the rocks on the ground here are very smooth, obviously different from those over there." Gu Qinglan pointed to the ground and explained:

"This was made by walking on the soles of pedestrians' feet. No one walked on the ground next to it, so the rock surface is much rougher. Judging from these traces, a long time ago, there was a path in the north that led to the cliff."

Ding Ermiao nodded, pulled out the Ten Thousand Slasher again, and followed the direction of Gu Qinglan's finger to open up an open space to the north.Then he squatted down and took a closer look, and it turned out to be exactly what Gu Qinglan said.

Who walks this way to the cliff?There is no way forward, the path extends here, and the only purpose of the passerby seems to be the hole in the steep wall below.

Looking at the thorny scene, this path has been abandoned, at least for decades.

"I estimate that these thorns were transplanted later. After walking on the mountain for so long, no similar thorns were found anywhere else except this area." Gu Qinglan continued:

"It can be seen that someone deliberately concealed this road. There must be some secret in the steep hole below."

"Miss Lan has good eyesight and is easy to make inferences..." Li Qingdong trimmed his beard and frowned: "It seems that there must be something weird at the cave entrance under the cliff. But it is nearly 100 meters away, how can we get down?"

Gu Qinglan threw away the dead branches in her hands, patted the dust on her hands, and said, "I have a climbing rope. If the height is only 100 meters, it should be enough."

After that, Gu Qinglan opened the suitcase.It turns out that the climbing rope she called was a thin rope that she used to build a net and use it as a sleeping bag while searching for Wang Xiang.

The rope is not as thick as a little finger, but it is very strong with copper wire mixed into it.

"This boulder should be used by people back then to tie the rope." Gu Qinglan walked to a huge boulder on the edge of the cliff, and tied the rope to it.

In the middle of the boulder, you can still vaguely see a circle of wear marks.It seems that Gu Qinglan's analysis is correct. This is the mark left by the rope for a long time.

"Sister Lan, let me go down." Ding Ermiao returned the sword to its sheath and put the umbrella on his shoulder.

Of the four people here, Gu Qinglan and Wu Zhanzhan are girls, and Li Qingdong is an old man.Therefore, Ding Ermiao had no choice but to step forward in an adventurous charge.After all, no one knows what is hidden in the cave below.

"No, have you ever received rock climbing training?" Gu Qinglan categorically rejected Ding Ermiao's suggestion, and then took out a belt, headlamp, mountaineering gloves and two walkie-talkies from the suitcase, and said, "I have received climbing training. If you are sure, don’t worry about it.”

"But……"

"Stop it!" Gu Qinglan put an open walkie-talkie into Ding Ermiao's hand and said with a smile: "Just watch from above and keep in touch at any time. Once you hear me calling for help, you can pull me up. Don’t worry, nothing will happen.”

Li Qingdong trimmed his beard and said: "Since Miss Lan has received professional training, Master Ding shouldn't force her to go down and have a look first. This road has not been walked for decades, which means that the cave below has not been used for many years. Yes, there shouldn’t be any big danger.”

Wu Zhanzhan also nodded in agreement.

"Okay, keep in touch." Ding Ermiao had no choice but to give in.

Gu Qinglan nodded and smiled, quickly buckled the safety rope around her waist, put on a headlamp, hung the walkie-talkie on her waist, then put on gloves, grabbed the rope, faced the steep wall, and jumped down.

His movements are light and agile, and he has the demeanor of an experienced climber.

Ding Ermiao, Wu Zhanzhan and Li Qingdong all stood on the edge of the cliff and looked down.Li Qingdong was old and did not dare to get too close. He stood a little further away and stretched his neck hard.

After jumping 20 meters, Gu Qinglan paused, raised her head, smiled at Ding Ermiao and others, and made an OK gesture to reassure everyone.

"Sister Lan, be careful!" Ding Ermiao put one hand to her mouth and shouted downwards.

Gu Qinglan smiled, took out the walkie-talkie from her waist, and said, "It doesn't have to be so loud. There is a walkie-talkie. If you talk on it, I can hear you."

Uh..., Ding Ermiao's face turned red, he put the walkie-talkie in his hand to his mouth and said, "I have never used these high-tech gadgets, so I can't remember them for a moment, hehe..."

Gu Qinglan, who was at the foot of the cliff, waved and smiled, still hung the walkie-talkie around her waist, and continued to jump down.

Not far down, Gu Qinglan disappeared into the thick clouds and mist, her figure gradually blurred, and finally disappeared.

Ding Ermiao and others on the cliff were sweating inwardly as they looked at the slightly swaying rope.
