Farmhouse Senda

Chapter 181
This small mountain is about five to sixty meters high, and it becomes more and more difficult to climb as you go up.Li Qingyun didn't urge Michelle either, because seeing that her movements were getting slower and slower, with her fat butt on top of her head, she sometimes worried that she would suddenly fall and hit herself.

There were about fifteen or six jackals under the hillside, all of them appeared at this time, and they all climbed wildly.The Jackal King stood behind and let out a long whistle, seemingly dissatisfied with the rhythm of the attack just now.

However, no matter how urged the jackal king, they could not climb the nearly vertical peak.This small mountain may also be a stalactite, and the water seepage is very strong, and there is also a faint colored light under the sunlight.

There are still six or seven meters to the top of the mountain. Grass vines and small shrubs begin to appear around, and sometimes they also wrap around the grooves on the stone wall, which brings difficulties and dangers to climbing.

Michelle suddenly screamed and slid down, shouting in horror, "Snake, a snake bit me... on my feet..."

One of her hands was still clasping the stone wall, the other hand was clutching the vines in a panic, and her feet were already hanging in the air, kicking randomly.A silver-ringed snake with black and white rings wrapped around her ankle, showing signs of falling off under her terrified kick.

And under her was Li Qingyun, the snake was more than one meter long, and its tail was about to hang on Li Qingyun's head.As soon as Li Qingyun stretched out his hand, he grabbed the silver ring snake's tail, pulled it off Michelle's feet, and threw it down the hillside, just landing on a jackal.

The wolves below the hillside were in chaos, and Li Qingyun didn't have time to watch the commotion below. He held Michelle's feet, guided her, and put her feet back into the grooves on the stone wall.

Silver ring snakes are highly venomous snakes and belong to neurotoxins. After being bitten, they will not feel much pain, but they will have partial paralysis and drowsiness.

Michelle clearly recognized the Silver Ring Snake, and at this moment she cried out pessimistically: "Yun, I think I'm going to die... My legs are starting to not obey, and now I can't go up, and I can't go down, I don't know what to do anymore? But if I fall, it may hurt you, or I jump to one side and you hide to the other side, so that at least one of us can survive."

"Shut up, don't waste your time on treatment." Encountering a silver ring snake attack, this is really a small probability event. The silver ring snake is estimated to have endured for a long time. When Michelle's upper body has crawled over, the swing of her feet may be large. Too much, the silver ring snake was frightened and had to attack.

After reprimanding Michelle, Li Qingyun crawled on his ankle and took a few mouthfuls at the bite of the poisonous snake.He spat out poisonous blood, took out a little water from the small space, and rinsed his mouth.

"Don't waste time, just sucking out some of the toxins is useless..." Michelle stood on the top with difficulty, thanking Li Qingyun for helping herself suck the toxins despite the danger.However, there is still no feeling on the leg, and even the injured leg has no feeling below the bend.This means that in this dangerous environment, she can no longer climb smoothly.

Li Qingyun said: "Don't talk, don't waste your energy, I'll pack you up, only the last few meters, we can persevere to the end."

"My God, how is this possible... It's extremely difficult to climb on your own, how can it be possible to carry me?"

Li Qingyun didn't answer her, but just used practical actions to lift her up from between her legs.Michelle's weight of more than 100 kilograms, in Li Qingyun's view, seems to be weightless. As long as she holds her head tightly, she can easily climb up the remaining few meters.

Michelle was stunned, she could feel herself moving up little by little, until Li Qingyun's feet landed on the platform ground on the small mountain, she exclaimed, almost forgetting that she still has silver ring snake venom. fact.

There were many water marks on the platform on the top of the mountain, as well as a lot of bird droppings. Li Qingyun threw the backpack on the ground, put Michelle on the backpack, and fed her the pills for the treatment of snake venom in the blue porcelain bottle.

"I still have anti-venom serum in my backpack... Oh, Sit, I forgot, the backpack is sinking." Michelle scolded angrily.

However, she was so frightened that she didn't have much strength, and the toxin of the silver ring snake worked, her eyelids were heavy, she really wanted to fall down and couldn't sleep.

Li Qingyun wanted to test whether the poisonous snakes here were affected by the sun meteorite. He only gave her five snake medicines, and did not give her spatial spring water.If the situation does not improve after taking the medicine, it is not 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, so she helped her to inhale the poison again, took out firewood from the small space, and raised a fire around it.

Summon the lazy Costin and let it guard Michelle by the fire.This Hai Dongqing had gained a lot of weight and was summoned by Li Qingyun, reluctantly, but obediently, standing next to Michelle and dozing off.

Li Qingyun only had time to observe the small platform on the top of the mountain.Near the rock wall of the karst cave, there is a small wooden house, which is made of wood planks and rattan. There are wooden wedges at the connection, and the small door is closed.

With a slight push, the wooden door made a cracking sound, and it turned out to be rotten.From the broken doorway, there was a damp musty smell, and it was dark inside, and nothing could be seen.

I used a searchlight to shine in, only to see that there are stone chopping boards, stone pots and stone stoves, no beds, and no clothes.

In the corner of this wooden house, there is actually a stone cave entrance. The entrance of the cave is open and short, as if it was made by something. The entrance is very simple, all gaps, and there is no sense of neatness.

The wood used to make the wooden house is very thick, and the roof is mostly thatch and rattan, which is very well covered, and there is no trace of water leakage so far.

"Someone has lived here, and finally built a wooden house and used it as a kitchen. It's really weird. But it's very close to the gap on the top of the cave, so rainwater should often fall. If you want to eat a cooked meal, ordinary A simple cooker won't work either."

"It's all stone tools, which means that the human beings who have come here have no preparations and can only make daily necessities by hand. There are stone knives and a few skeletons on the stone chopping board. It seems that the chopping board has not been cleaned. food, 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 up, other places were cleaned up very neatly, indicating that the owner is still a very clean person.

Walking to the entrance of the stone cave, Li Qingyun sniffed carefully and found nothing abnormal before entering.

The cave is not big, and you can see what's inside at a glance.It was actually very wide inside, with a wooden bed and nothing on the bed.There is a stone desk with some bamboo slips on the table and a stone carving knife.

On the innermost wall of the cave, there is a large "Tao" character engraved, and the entire stone wall next to it is engraved with densely packed small characters.

Under the word "Dao", there is a futon with vines and grass, and there is a skeleton frame on the futon. In a standard meditation posture, when he died, his back was straight and straight, without a trace of bending, and his sitting posture was not disordered.

On the ground next to the skeleton rack, there is a tattered Taoist uniform, which should have fallen off the Taoist body.

Li Qingyun walked into the cave, glanced at the bamboo slips on the table, did not move, went straight to the skeleton, carefully observed, and found that the Taoist priest had long hair and beards before his death.His beard and hair are all white, and his age should not be low. I don't know if he was old before he fell, or he lived in a cave until he died and didn't find a way to go.

Stand in front of the skeleton and watch the small lettering on the stone wall, in traditional Chinese.

"The Dao is named after the birth of heaven, earth, man, and living beings. It contains the machine of yin and yang movement and stillness, and has the principle of fortune and mystery. It unifies Wuji and gives birth to Taiji. Wuji is nameless, and the nameless is the beginning of heaven and earth; Taiji is famous. , The famous person is the mother of all things. Nameless because of the nameless, then the birth, the earth, the life, and the things are born. Now I will talk about life. Before my parents were born, it was too empty, and it was entrusted to Mu. This is the time of no limit. The infinite is yin and quiet. Yin and yang are also quiet."

The characters are not big, just around the word "Dao", and engraved on the entire wall behind the cave.Li Qingyun carefully identified it for a while, and seemed to remember it. It was like the words in Zhang Sanfeng's "The Great Way".There is no practical significance, maybe there is some kind of spiritual sustenance for Taoist disciples, Li Qingyun does not make any comments.

In the text on the stone wall, the identity information of the Taoist priest was not found, and he went back to the bed. The bed was mostly soft grass, and there was no other cloth or cotton.However, outside the head of the bed, there was a rusty long sword full of gaps, and the tip of the sword was even broken.

The bamboo slips on the table are fairly well preserved. Since they are all in traditional Chinese characters, Li Qingyun struggled to read them, but behind a few scrolls of bamboo slips, he found the words "Lingxu Handwriting" and "Lingxushu".

Seeing these words, Li Qingyun was shocked, and finally knew the origin of this skeleton Taoist priest, it turned out to be the Taoist priest Lingxu of the Taoist Temple on the top of the mountain.Back then, Daoist Lingxu suddenly disappeared, and it is still a mystery in the Taoist Temple. I didn't expect his remains to appear in the cave below the Taoist temple.

"There is a small road at the side gate of the Taoist Temple, leading to the small forest where Taoist Temple is concerned. There is a cliff. I heard that it was also the planting area of ​​Taoist Enlightenment Tea. The path should be often passed by. When I and Michelle fell, there was a hole in the road. , this hole may have appeared recently, and Daoist Lingxu should have fallen from somewhere else, otherwise other people in the Taoist temple should have found it."

Thinking of this, Li Qingyun put all the bamboo slips on the desk into the small space. The traditional characters on it looked too laborious, so I'll take a closer look when I go out later.

After leaving the cave and the hut, Michelle was still in a coma. Two poisonous snakes died in front of Costin, one was Bamboo Leaf Green and the other was a five-step snake.

Seeing Li Qingyun come back, Haidongqing let out a cry and pushed the poisonous snake on the ground with his claws, as if he was taking credit.
