This small mountain peak is about 50 to 60 meters, and the higher it goes up, the harder it becomes to climb. Li Qingyun did not rush Michelle, because when he saw her movements becoming slower and slower, with her plump butt above her head, he sometimes worried that she would
It won't fall suddenly and hit yourself.
There were about fifteen or six jackals at the foot of the hillside. They all appeared at this time and climbed up crazily. The jackal king stood behind and roared, as if he was not satisfied with the rhythm of the attack just now.
However, no matter how much the jackal king urged, they could not climb up the nearly vertical mountain peak. This small mountain peak might also be a stalactite with strong water seepage, and a faint colored light appeared under the sunlight.
There are still six or seven meters to reach the top of the mountain, and grass vines and small shrubs begin to appear around it. Sometimes they will also entangle the grooves in the stone walls, making the climb difficult and dangerous.
Michelle suddenly screamed and slid down, shouting in horror: "Snake, a snake bit me...on my feet..."
One of her hands was still clinging to the stone wall, the other hand was frantically grasping the grass and vines, and her feet were already hanging in the air, kicking randomly. A black-and-white ringed snake was wrapped around her ankle, and it was wrapped around her ankle.
He kicked down in panic, showing signs of falling off.
And underneath her was Li Qingyun. The snake was more than one meter long, and its tail was almost hanging on Li Qingyun's head. Li Qingyun stretched out his hand, grabbed the tail of the bungara snake, and pulled it off Michelle's feet.
Throwing it down the hillside, it happened to land on a jackal.
The pack of jackals below the hillside was in chaos. Li Qingyun didn't have time to watch the commotion below. He held Michelle's feet and guided her back to the groove on the stone wall.
Bungaras are highly venomous snakes that contain neurotoxins. You will not feel much pain after being bitten, but you will experience local paralysis and drowsiness.
Michelle obviously recognized the Bungara snake, and cried pessimistically: "Yun, I think I'm going to die... My legs started to lose control. Now I can't go up, and I can't go down anymore.
I don’t know what to do anymore? But if I fall, I might hurt you. How about I jump to one side and you hide to the other side, so at least one of us can survive."
"Shut up, don't waste treatment time." It is a small probability event that the Bungarus snake attacks. The Bungarus snake must have tolerated it for a long time. By the time Michelle's upper body has crawled over, her feet may be swinging wildly.
After a while, the bungar snake was so frightened that it had to attack.
After scolding Michelle, Li Qingyun crawled on his ankle, sucked a few mouthfuls from the bite of the poisonous snake, spit out the poisonous blood, took out a little water from the small space, and rinsed his mouth.
"Don't waste time. It's not necessary to just suck out some of the toxins..." Michelle stood on top with difficulty, feeling grateful to Li Qingyun for helping her suck out the toxins regardless of the danger. However, there was still no feeling in her legs. Even the injured leg bent.
She was unconscious below. This meant that she could no longer climb smoothly in this dangerous environment.
Li Qingyun said: "Don't talk or waste your energy. I'll carry you up. There are only the last few meters left. We can persevere to the end."
"Oh my god, how is this possible... It's extremely difficult to climb by yourself. How is it possible to lift me up?"
Li Qingyun did not answer her, but used practical actions to lift her up from between her legs. Michelle's weight of more than one hundred kilograms seemed to Li Qingyun as if it was weightless. As long as she held her head tightly,
The remaining few meters were easily climbed up.
Michelle was dumbfounded, and unbelievably felt herself moving up bit by bit. It wasn't until Li Qingyun's feet stepped on the platform on the small mountain peak that she exclaimed, almost forgetting that she was still poisoned by bungara snake venom.
fact.
There were many water stains on the platform on the top of the mountain, and there was also a lot of bird droppings. Li Qingyun threw his backpack on the ground, put Michelle on the backpack, and fed her the pills for treating snake venom in a blue porcelain bottle.
"I also have anti-venom serum in my backpack... Oh, Seat, I forgot, the backpack sank to the bottom of the water." Michelle cursed in annoyance.
However, she was tired and frightened, and she didn't have much strength anymore. In addition, the toxin of the bungara snake took effect, and her eyelids were very heavy. She wanted to fall down and couldn't sleep.
Li Qingyun wanted to test whether the poisonous snakes here were affected by the solar meteorites, so he only gave her five snake medicine pills and did not give her space spring water. If the situation did not improve after taking the medicine, it would not be too late to give her space spring water.
.
Michelle lay on her backpack and fell asleep quickly. Li Qingyun checked her ankle and saw that the swelling was not obvious. He helped her take the poison again, took out the firewood from the small space, and built a fire around it.
Summoned the lazy sea turtle and asked it to guard Michelle by the fire. This sea turtle had gained weight and was summoned by Li Qingyun. It was reluctant but obedient and stood there.
Napping next to Michelle.
Only then did Li Qingyun have time to observe the small platform on the top of the mountain. Near the stone wall of the cave, there was a small wooden house built with a combination of wooden boards and rattan. There were wooden wedges at the joints, and the small door was tightly closed.
With a gentle push, the wooden door made a cracking sound, and it turned out to be rotten. From the damaged doorway, a damp musty smell came out. It was dark inside and nothing could be seen.
When I shined a searchlight inside, I saw that there were stone chopping boards, stone pots and stoves, no beds, and no clothes.
In the corner of this wooden house, there is an entrance to a stone cave. The entrance is wide and short, as if it was smashed out by something. The entrance is very simple, full of gaps, and there is no sense of neatness.
The wooden boards used to build the wooden house are very thick, and the roof is mostly covered with thatch and rattan grass. It is well covered and there is no trace of water leakage so far.
"Some people have lived here. They finally built a wooden house and used it as a kitchen. It's really weird. However, this place is very close to the gap on the roof of the cave. Rain should fall frequently. If you want to have a cooked meal, ordinary
Even simple pots and stoves won’t work.”
"The tools used were all stone tools, which shows that the humans who lived here had no preparations and could only rely on handwork to make daily necessities. There were stone knives and several skeletons on the stone chopping board. It seemed that the chopping board had not been cleaned.
food, they left or died."
Li Qingyun carefully observed at the door for a while and found that there was no danger, and then slowly walked into the cabin. Except for the stone chopping board that was not cleaned, other places were kept very neatly, indicating that the owner was still a very clean person.
Walking to the door of the cave, Li Qingyun sniffed carefully and found nothing unusual before walking in.
The cave is not big, and you can see the situation inside at a glance. It is very spacious inside, with a wooden bed and nothing on the bed. There is a stone desk with some bamboo slips and stone carving knives.
On the innermost wall of the cave, there is a large Chinese character "道" carved on it, and on the entire stone wall next to it, there are densely packed small characters carved on it.
Under the word "Tao", there is a vine grass futon with a skeleton on the futon. With the standard meditation posture, until the time of death, the back will be straight without any bend, and the meditation posture will not be messed up.
On the ground next to the skeleton shelf, there is a tattered Taoist priest's uniform, which should have fallen off the Taoist priest.
Li Qingyun walked into the cave and glanced at the bamboo slips on the table. Without moving, he walked straight to the skeleton. After careful observation, he found that the Taoist priest had long hair and a beard before he was alive.
Even though I am old, I still live in the cave until I die without finding my way out.
Standing in front of the skeleton, I looked at the small carvings on the stone wall, which were written in traditional Chinese.
"The Great Dao governs the birth of heaven and earth, births people, and names of living things. It contains the mechanism of movement and stillness of yin and yang, and has the mysterious principles of creation. It unifies Wuji and gives rise to Taiji. Wuji has no name. The nameless person is the beginning of heaven and earth. Taiji has a name.
, the one who has a name is the mother of all things. Because there is no name but a name, it is born, the earth is born, human beings are born, and things are born. Now I will talk about human life. Before the parents were born, there was nothing, so I left it to Mu. This is the infinite time.
.The infinite is the yin and tranquility. The yin is tranquil and the yang is also tranquil.”
The characters are not big, just surrounding the word "Dao", and are carved all over the wall behind the cave. Li Qingyun read it carefully for a while, and seemed to remember it. These words are like the words in Zhang Sanfeng's "Dao Lun". It has no practical meaning, maybe
Li Qingyun does not make any comments on the spiritual sustenance of Taoist disciples.
The Taoist priest's identity information was not found in the writing on the stone wall. He returned to the bed. The bed was mostly covered with soft grass and no other cloth or cotton. However, there was a handful of cotton placed outside the head of the bed.
The rusty long sword was full of chips, and the tip of the sword was even somewhat broken.
The bamboo slips on the desk were relatively well preserved. Since they were all in traditional Chinese characters, Li Qingyun had a hard time reading them. However, behind several volumes of bamboo slips, he found the words "Lingxu's handwriting" and "Lingxu's writing".
Seeing these words, Li Qingyun was immediately shocked. He finally knew the origin of this skeleton Taoist priest, who turned out to be Taoist priest Lingxu of Wu Tao Temple on the top of the mountain. The sudden disappearance of Taoist priest Lingxu at that time is still a mystery in Wu Tao Temple.
, I didn’t expect that his body would appear in the cave below the Taoist temple.
"There is a small path at the side gate of Wudao Temple, leading to the small forest in front of the Taoist Temple. There is a cliff there. I heard that it was also the planting area of Wudao Tea. People should often pass by the path. When I and Michelle fell, there was a hole in the road.
, this hole may have appeared recently, Taoist Master Lingxu should have fallen from somewhere else, otherwise other people in the Taoist temple would have discovered it."
When Li Qingyun thought of this, he put all the bamboo slips on the desk into a small space. The traditional Chinese characters on them looked too laborious, so he would take a closer look when he went out.
After leaving the cave and cabin, I saw that Michelle was still unconscious. Two poisonous snakes were dead in front of Hai Dongqing, a bamboo leaf green and a five-step snake. The gallbladder of the snake had been eaten by Hai Dongqing, and other parts of the snake were not moved.
Seeing Li Qingyun return, Hai Dongqing squealed and pushed the poisonous snake on the ground with his paw, as if asking for credit.
