Chapter Thirty-Three: The Strange Man Under the Cliff
It is said that Xia Tian and his car fell off a cliff together. There are ten ancient forests under the cliff, and ancient towering trees can be seen everywhere. A small river flows slowly, and the clear cobblestones can be clearly seen through the river water.
Xia Tian is currently lying in a cave. There are some thick leaves underneath, and a bonfire is burning next to it. The cave is not big, but you can walk straight up. There is a layer of yellow powder on the cave wall, which smells very good.
It's pungent.
Xia Tian was lying not far from the entrance of the cave. Next to the bonfire, an old man in dirty clothes was sitting there. The old man's hair should have been snow-white, and his beard was also long. The long hair seemed to be that of an ancient old man.
, but he himself knew that he had grown his hair so long because he had no hair cutting tools and could not cut or shave his hair.
Xia Tian's head squirmed. He covered his head with both hands and groaned in pain. He slowly opened his eyes. What he saw was a yellow 'roof' that was very uneven and filled with a strange smell.
My respiratory tract and lungs seemed to choke if I tried to take a big breath.
"You're awake!" an old and powerful voice sounded.
.
Xia Tian slowly sat up, turned around and saw the white-haired old man beside him, scared, who is this? How did I get here?
"Who are you?" Xia Tian asked in surprise.
The old man did not move, nor did he turn his head to scare him, "I am from the cliff!"
Xia Tian looked at the old man in confusion, "Man under the cliff? Why am I here? By the way, don't I want to go home? Suddenly Xia Tian's memories came out like a tide.
After a while, Xia Tian looked at the back of the white-haired old man and said, "Is this the foot of the cliff of Sheshan Mountain?"
The old man nodded and said, "Well, this is the cliff below Sheshan Mountain!"
"Who are you? Why are you here?" Xia Tian asked.
The old man slowly turned his head, and only then did Xia Tian see the old man's appearance. His long beard could reach the bottom of his chest, and a few gray beards could still be seen vaguely, but most of them should be white and the same color as his hair.
Because the old man's ring-shaped beard covered a relatively large area, Xia Tian could not fully see the old man's appearance, but he was certain that this old man had been here for such a short period of time as one or two years.
The old man turned his head and looked at Xia Tian and said: "I am an explorer. I came to Sheshan seventy years ago. Because no one has been to the cliff according to historical records, I came to the cliff alone, but when I came down, I was just like you.
Unconscious."
In the old man's long memories, Xia Tian learned that the old man in front of him was the legendary explorer. Some people said that someone came to the foot of this cliff decades ago, but they never heard of him coming out, so everyone thought that he had died long ago.
below.
He also learned that when the old man was about to climb to the bottom of the cliff, the rope was broken and he fell down. When he woke up, a group of venomous snakes were staring at him from a distance of 20 meters away from him, but what puzzled him was
These colorful poisonous snakes had no intention of attacking next. He looked around and suddenly understood something, because he could smell a strange smell now, and this smell was very familiar to him, it was the smell of sulfur.
When he saw the yellow powder and the strong smell of sulfur in the cave, he realized that this cave had saved him, so he stayed here.
When you are hungry, catch snakes and eat snake soup. Although these snakes are extremely poisonous, as long as you drain their blood, there is no harm. Moreover, these snakes that are a threat to you have become your food.
Xia Tian was stunned for a moment as he listened. He seemed to have entered the world of a novel. Could such a thing really happen to him? But now he had to admit this fact.
"Old man, how long have you been here? This legend seems to have been spread since I can remember it!" Xia Tian said after listening to the old man's memories.
"It's been seventy years!" the old man sighed.
Seventy years? Oh my God, he was able to survive. Not to mention the food aspect and the mental aspect, no one can bear it. Xia Tian even feels that he is dreaming now. Of course, he will not be stupid like in the TV series.
He pinched his face hard, looked around, and gave him the feeling that this was not a dream, but the real world. He had fallen down, along with the car. By the way, my car must be underneath.
"Old man, where did you find me?" Xia Tian asked hurriedly.
The old man glanced at Xia Tian without any expression and said: "It's in the open space over there. I was getting water, but you fell from the sky. The car broke into pieces, but you were lucky and hung on a big tree.
, if I hadn’t been here, you would probably have become a meal for those poisonous snakes by now.”
Xia Tian took a deep breath. Fortunately, he was fine. However, he choked on this deep breath and kept coughing. At this time, the old man's voice rang again, "The smell of sulfur is unpleasant."
, and ordinary people will die if they live in this environment for a long time, so as soon as you feel like you can move, come out of the cave and say."
Xia Tian wondered why he was fine. Could this be explained as 'anti-immunity'???
"How come you are okay after living here for seventy years?" Xia Tian asked.
"I have inner strength and mental skills to protect my body!" the old man said in a nonchalant manner. Xia Tian was confused. Is this ancient times or modern times? Am I sure I'm not in a dream? How could I hear the word 'internal strength' in this era?
?
The more Xia Tian listened to the old man's explanation, the more he couldn't believe it. The old man actually learned the mental method of the 'Nine Yin Manual', but he said that this book was found in this cave, and there were still a bunch of bones there, but it was just a matter of time.
When he got out, he also said that he had reached the third level of practice now, but he could not break through the bottleneck when going down. If he could master the fourth level, he could get out of this cliff.
When Xia Tian was able to move, he and the old man walked out of the cave together. The old man also brought out something similar to a basin on the bonfire. There was fragrant hot steam inside, which seemed to be snake soup.
The two of them sat at the entrance of the cave. The old man pinched a piece of snake meat between two branches and handed it to Xia Tian. The latter looked scared. The old man laughed and said: "Don't worry, it's not poisonous. I've been eating it for seventy years!"
Xia Tian looked at the old man in confusion. The latter nodded and said it was okay. Xia Tian took the snake meat and put it in his mouth. A unique smell of meat spread from his tongue to his brain. What is delicious? It means something you have never eaten before!
hehe....
The two of them were chatting while eating snake meat. Xia Tian also took the opportunity to look at the cliff. It was surrounded by mountains at a ninety-degree angle. There was an open-air stone beach of less than ten square meters in front of the cave entrance, and the rest were
It is all made up of big trees. No wonder people say that no one has come down. It turns out that even a helicopter cannot get down from the cliff.
When the helicopter is about to land, you can see many venomous snakes. Although people can wear thick special snake-keeping suits, who would take risks for this? There are only trees here.
It would be a lie to say that no one has ever descended there. The relevant archaeological departments of China descended there once a hundred years ago, but found nothing. According to them, this cave does not exist at all. I don’t know what kind of plane they are doing.
Later, this place became a place that no one cared about. It was not until the old man in front of him came down that the peace was broken. But his departure and never coming back again discouraged those who wanted to take risks.
Xia Tian suddenly felt a stomachache while eating. He thought it was because he ate too much, but his increasingly painful stomach told him that this was not a normal phenomenon. Could it be snake meat? But the old man also ate it.
Why is he okay?
Second by second passed by, Xia Tian was sweating profusely in pain, the old man seemed to have discovered something unusual about him, and immediately put down the snake meat and said: "What's wrong with you?
Xia Tian breathed out hard and said: "My stomach hurts terribly!" After saying that, he lay down, holding his stomach and rolling on the ground. Could it be that he was not thrown to death but would be poisoned? What a natural and man-made disaster.
