I asked him what it was doing. He said that if the end was stuck on something, it would be stronger and prevent the rope tied to the dagger from loosening.
I was so impressed that I was worthy of being a special forces soldier. This experience was so rich. Ban Cuntou seemed to know what I was thinking. He grinned and said, "In a place like this, to put it bluntly, it's just like a game. If you find a problem, think about it later."
There are ways to solve problems. Some things are common. As long as you use your brain, you will find that you have accumulated enough experience in life, but it is difficult for people to change it in a short time."
I thought about it, and this sentence makes sense. Just like just now, we only thought about how to find a way, but never thought that we could create a way. Our thinking is limited by the influence of the environment, so we feel that every step we take
All very strenuous and arduous.
The three of us went up together and pulled a few times. The rope was very strong and could fully support two people crawling at the same time. I thought to myself that this time should be over. Without thinking, I was not satisfied. He took off the rope again.
He got down and tied it to a dagger, climbed along the stone wall to a very high position, and then got stuck in a gap.
"We have to think about Xiaojiu. No one can carry a person on his back to climb that far, unless we leave him here, but I won't do that." After finishing speaking, Ban Tou walked over to the place where he was still unconscious.
He made a bag with a rope around Xiao Jiu and put him inside. "I swore that I would never leave any comrade behind again unless I die."
Ban Cuntou was the first to climb up the beef tendon rope. He hung Xiao Jiu in front of him and tied a rope to his waist. Since this side was higher than the opposite side, he didn't need to waste any time.
With too much strength, Xiao Jiu can be easily pushed forward.
Fearing that the rope could not bear the load, the remaining four of us did not rush up. After waiting for about twenty minutes, the rope swayed from side to side, and the monkey and I climbed up together.
"Hutou, do you think we can successfully find the dragon catching notes this time?"
I don’t know how to answer this question. It can be said that I was completely put off by this trip to Nanling. Everything was arranged by the old man. Although Wang Kui told me about the old man’s plan,
But I always feel that things are not that simple. With the way the old man behaves, how could he tell others his true intentions?
So I think there must be something fishy in this, but I can't figure out what the truth is.
Of course, I won't tell anyone this kind of thing. The first two incidents have taught me a lot of truth. It is necessary to be on guard against others. Even when facing people who are close to me, I should have reservations.
"It's hard to say. This place has existed for thousands of years. We don't know if anyone has gone in before. We don't know if there are really any dragon-catching notes. Maybe it's all a lie. We can only wait.
We won’t know the final result until we actually go in.”
"Hutou, I find that you are becoming more and more like an old man when you speak, and you always have reservations. Don't you still trust me?"
"Monkey, what you said is a bit strange. When did I stop trusting you?"
"Really? Then tell me, what is the real purpose of the old man? And what exactly did he plan to do this time? Don't use what Wang Kui said to deal with me. Others don't understand the old man.
Forget it, we have lived together for more than 20 years, and I don’t believe that the old man would play such childish tricks."
I looked back at him in surprise, but I didn't expect him to feel it too. I said: "I really don't know about this matter. I have never seen the old man's face since I came out of Qinling. It's not like you don't
Knowing his character, he likes to complicate simple things and make people confused. Besides, you don’t need to know these things so clearly. We can just do whatever he tells us to do. Is it true?
Can he still harm us?"
The monkey was silent for a while, and then said: "You can't say that. Isn't there that saying? We have to be understanding until we die, right? It wouldn't be too awkward if we don't even know why we do things.
What? Besides, I just want to know when we can see the old man. Don’t you even know when he will come in and how many people he will bring in? "
I looked back at him again. After his eyes came into contact with mine, he avoided it unconsciously. "Monkey, I found you are a little strange. You didn't ask these questions before. You were afraid that I would.
Will it harm you?"
"Of course not, I just have some mental doubts. You also know my character. I can't hide things in my heart and I just want to say it out. If you really don't want to hear it, then I won't say anything."
I shook my head, no longer paying attention to his words, and instead focused on the surrounding environment.
Climbing on the upper rope should have been a very difficult thing, but the setting of the board is very clever. One side is high and the other is low. We only need to grab the rope and slide forward bit by bit.
To be honest, walking in mid-air, no matter how safe it is, still makes me feel a little uneasy. I am afraid that the rope is not strong and will suddenly break, and I am even more afraid that the two ends will not be tied and will suddenly become loose. As I walk along, I feel more and more uneasy.
It's getting worse.
I kept raising my eyes and looking around, and I was surrounded by darkness. I knew that we were inside the mountain, but there was no dome above. Below was a pitch-black abyss with no bottom, and the surrounding cliffs.
It also slowly disappeared from sight, giving me the feeling of being independent in the void. If I could see spots of starlight around me, I would even think that I had arrived in outer space.
I focused my attention on the depth at the end of the rope. The closer I got, the outline in the darkness became clearer and clearer. The spiral-like shadows around me slowly disappeared, and the illusory feeling slowly transformed into
Real touch.
When we climbed halfway up the rope, the gate and the surrounding scenery finally slowly and clearly appeared in front of us, and we were completely shocked.
On the stone wall deep inside, within a radius of hundreds of meters, a giant stone sculpture of a spiraling dragon stood out. The dragon's body was ten meters thick, coiled up like a snake, and the dragon's head was in the middle.
The location is dozens of meters away from the mountain wall at the back. It is the most protruding and highest point. The most shocking thing is that this huge stone dragon sculpture seems to be completely carved directly on the rock wall.
The dragon's mouth is wide open, and it stares straight ahead, as if it is roaring and roaring. Its expression is vivid and lifelike, and coupled with its majestic size, this kind of engineering can be called a miraculous workmanship.
The door we see is in the dragon's mouth. The door is round in shape, like a compass, but more like the dragon ball contained in the dragon's mouth. The door is in the middle of the dragon ball, square and square, high and wide.
They are all three meters long, and there is a staircase from the lower jaw of the dragon's mouth to the steps in front of the giant door.
Both of us were so shocked by this generosity that we forgot to move forward for a moment. Upon closer inspection, I felt that this layout had special meaning. The round compass-like "dragon ball" in the dragon's mouth and the square giant door in the center
It symbolizes "the sky is round and the earth is round", which is the concept of the ancients. But this "heaven and earth" is held in the mouth of the giant dragon, so this dragon is no longer an ordinary dragon, but a dragon that "swallows the sky and the earth". But he
He is also called a dragon chaser. Doesn't it mean that he is a being that transcends heaven and earth?
"What a loud tone." I couldn't help but muttered softly.
But this sentence was heard by the monkey behind me. He asked me what I was talking about, and I said what I just thought. After hearing this, the monkey was silent for a while, and then suddenly said: "Tiger Head, I don't think it should be understood this way."
.”
"Oh? What do you think?"
"In this way, what you said about 'the sky is round and the place is round' and the 'dragon swallows the world' is correct, but the latter part is a bit too much. I don't think the original dragon chaser was the kind of arrogant and self-righteous person.
Don't forget, he is probably a wizard with a high status, and as a wizard, he must have his own beliefs, whether in gods or heaven and earth. He cannot be arrogant enough to think that he can be greater than what he believes in.
Even if he really thinks so in his heart, he will not show it in this way. This is direct blasphemy, which is a taboo for a wizard."
"Then what do you think it should be like?" I think what he said makes sense. If so, what does this layout mean?
The monkey smiled at me and then said: "We have to pass through that door to enter, and the inside may lead to the place where the dragon chaser sleeps. Maybe the dragon chaser means that he exists in this world.
Among them, he has the ability to change the world. The "heaven and earth" may refer to the pattern of the mountains and the earth or the people's livelihood, and the "ability" may be the skills he has mastered or the power brought by his status. If this is the case
, which can be regarded as the most realistic portrayal of himself.”
I looked at the monkey in surprise. These words were to the point and made more sense than I thought. What surprised me was not these words, but that these words actually came from the mouth of the monkey. Based on my understanding of him.
, he couldn't figure out this reason.
Although I had doubts in my heart, I didn't ask. He had been away from me for a while, and he still didn't allow people to make progress.
"That's right, haha, but it has nothing to do with us. What we should be thinking about is what we will encounter later."
We climbed along the rope into the dragon's mouth. The strange thing was that we didn't see Ban Cuntou and Xiao Jiu. The platform on the stone steps was empty. Deep in the depths, there was a huge bronze door lying in front of it. The bronze door was tightly closed.
