Chapter 19 Abyss Plank Road, Bull Tau and Tears
Everyone looked up at the little monkey, but they were still worried. Jing Ni leaned against Zhuo Bufei, showing cowardice. I stared at the little monkey on the stone sculpture's head, and behind the dark and empty person, my breathing became inexplicably nervous.
"Do you really want to go up?" The white-headed man stared at Zhuo Bufei beside him.
Zhuo Bufei nodded without hesitation, took the lead in tying the rope around his waist, expressing his determination, and waved to the little monkey. The little monkey took a deep breath, grabbed the rope's hands, lifted them up hard, and quickly exchanged them. Zhuo Bufei easily reached out and climbed towards the stone man's face. With a cup of tea, he finally climbed up.
After the white-headed man, the old monkey, and Yi Ni climbed up one after another, the Luohan looked at me and said, "Brother Cheng, do you go first or I go first?"
"You first! I'll cut off the back." I didn't know where I got the courage to say such righteous words, but after I said that, I regretted it, but I couldn't take it back, so I could only force myself to hold on.
The Luohan did not refuse, and tied all the backpacks to the rope first. With a command, he grabbed the rope and climbed upwards. At this moment, the old monkey and others helped him, and the speed was much faster. After he got up, he threw the rope off.
I looked around and for some reason, staring at the stone man's half cheek, which made my heart beat faster. There was an indescribable majesty in my solemn expression. I never dared to think too much anymore, tied the rope around my waist, took a deep breath, and climbed up. I was very obedient all the way. When I was under the stone carving's nose, a chill sprayed out from it. I almost screamed, thinking that the stone man was alive.
The rope suddenly loosened and my body fell rapidly. Fortunately, I reached out and grabbed the rock that came out of my nose in time, so it did not fall.
I looked down with fear and felt dizzy. I didn't know when I was afraid of heights. I could only rely on my strong willpower to retract my gaze and distract myself. I took a long time to look into my nostrils. After seeing this, my body was soaked in cold sweat and I became difficult to breathe.
In the breathing passage, there were dense white skulls, neatly discharged into a mountain shape. I could see clearly that the mountain-stacked skulls were covered with dense groups of snakes. Green snakes rushed around the skulls, swallowing and spitting blood-red snake letters.
A fishy wind blew, and my mind went blank and I almost fainted. The fishy wind echoed in my breath and my whole body became sore and soft.
"Brother Cheng, grab the rope quickly." It was a beautiful voice. I barely came back to my senses and did not dare to disobey. I grabbed the rope tightly. My body felt lighter and slowly rose. However, in the huge breathing space, the pattern accumulated by the white skulls was finally seen clearly as the whole picture was clearly seen. It was a bow-shaped pattern of a ghost, which seemed to be something that someone deliberately did. From the white and dry bones' pupils, a strangely captivating momentum appeared. I hurriedly closed my eyes, constantly reminding myself not to look, and trying to numb myself.
After finally climbing to the top, I realized that Yini looked at the little monkey with an unhappy look. I vaguely guessed that I almost fell down just now, and it must be unrelated to the little monkey.
The old monkey came forward to smooth things over and said, "Okay, everyone is here, so don't worry now. Oh, Lao Bai, you were hesitant just now, afraid that you won't find a way out. Look, isn't there any way?"
The Arhat spat and cursed, "These ancients are really hateful. They always like to make strange things scary."
The position we are at should be the jade pillow of the head, but in the dark, we cannot tell the direction. In front of Lao Zhuo, that is, behind the stone carving's head, a curved stone step appears in front of us, and behind the entire stone carving, the space is huge. At first glance, on the right is the bottomless cliff. On the left of the cliff, near the mountain wall, the winding stone path appears in front of us, spreading downwards towards the abyss one after another.
"It is said that when Wang Jian was fighting here, he built a plank road. Could it be the stone road in front of him?" Zhuo Bufei looked at the cliff in amazement. The stack built on the edge of the cliff was indescribable depth, winding and sank into the darkness. He exclaimed, "What a miracle, it is no less than the Great Wall."
I was heavy in my heart and wondered whether to tell everyone the strange things I saw. Finally, after my eyes fell on Yini, I kept silent, for fear that I would be frightened by my own words and the details. Listening to Zhuo Bufei's words, I looked at the plank road and secretly wondered, "If it is really as Zhuo Bufei said, it would be even more strange. Why did Wang Jian build the plank road underground? It doesn't make any explanation."
I came to my senses from the shock in front of me and accidentally glanced at the little monkey. He glared at me, snorted coldly, carried the oil lamp, walked along the stone steps towards the stone path, looked at me thoughtfully, and then followed.
After I stepped on the stone steps, I looked down at the abyss. In the dark abyss, there seemed to be no end. The above is the dark rock, but the bottom is deep. We are going deep into the ground at this moment, and I even guessed whether this abyss really leads to the underground?
The stone path is much spacious than the entrance. The huge stone slabs are embedded in the mountain walls without any support points. It is really scary. The stone slabs suddenly cannot bear our weight and suddenly break from the embedded place, so they walk carefully.
From a distance, the stone path surrounded the abyss rock wall and spread spiral downwards. Instead, it was a stone step on the plank road, like a ladder leading to the underground. I even began to believe myself before guessing.
Walking aimlessly on the stone steps, you can always see the abyss filled with fog. Because you can't see the bottom, you feel very panicked. You always feel that a terrifying monster suddenly emerges in the darkness, and then drags everyone into the abyss. I am in panic and my eyes fall on my beautiful cheeks. It can be seen that although she is extraordinary, she is much more afraid of this endless unknown darkness than I do.
After walking for a while, I looked up and found that I had already walked a long distance from the cracks from the stone sculpture just now. The covered stone man finally exposed the other side and was forgotten from the stone sculpture across the river. Half of the man's head and stone sculpture seemed to be monitoring us. We were briefly lost in our minds, and we were shocked all over, and finally headed down.
When I was distracted, I was shocked to find that the back of the stone sculpture above my head was connected to the steps leading to the stone path, and it was curved and undulating, like a familiar picture. I felt that I had seen it somewhere, but I could never remember it.
"Dad, do you look like a bow?" Yini pointed to the majestic building above her head.
Zhuo Bufei and others stopped, looked up at the stone sculpture above the head and lost their mind. I was awakened by a beautiful sentence. In the breath of the stone sculpture, wasn't the accumulated shape of the terrifying skeleton just what I saw in front of me?
"It's not a bow, it's a bull's head, a bull with his head down." Zhuo Bufei pointed at the strange building in a daze, and then summarized the abyss plank road in front of him, "Including this abyss, it's the bull's cheek."
When he said this, we all saw a majestic bull head.
"What a huge project?" I exclaimed to Zhuo Bufei, "You are sure this is where we are coming. Why do I feel that this is not an altar at all, but an undead underground." Thinking of those skeletons, I became more determined to my mind.
Zhuo Bufei said excitedly, "I already believe that this legendary thing may be true."
I don't understand whether what he was talking about was true of the Qin Emperor's alchemist, or whether the magical bronze drum he was looking for this time was true.
"What is this?" When he was in a state of distraction, the Luohan seemed to have discovered something. He raised the oil lamp and looked at a stone platform that was deeply sunken on the wall. A long black object could be seen inside. After he slowly saw it clearly, he said in surprise, "Is this an oil lamp?"
The Arhat had no time to think about it, and reached out to lit the oil lamp on the stone wall. The dazzling red light appeared in front of him, as vigorous as a bonfire. A strange thing happened. After an oil lamp was lit, Hu, Hu, and looked at the fire. The same stone trough appeared at every distance on the spreading stone wall. When we were in surprise, the oil lamp on the endless stone wall gradually spread and spontaneously ignited - using the Arhat's oil lamp as the dividing point, it ignited up and down at the same time, spreading to the endless abyss.
Boom, two raised stone ponds on the top of the head, like two beacon towers, burning fires all over the sky, looking very terrifying.
Looking at the whole situation at this moment, I was like a real huge fire bull, shining with a terrifying and fierce light, shocking our hearts. In an instant, I even felt as insignificant as dust.
The abyss made a creaking sound, which kept coming and slowly spreading, making the eardrums hurt. In the fire, the temperature continued to rise, dispelling the fog. The fog gradually dissipated, and only then did I realize that there was still a long distance from the far lower at this moment, but along the line of sight, looking down, a stone platform with golden light appeared in the abyss, in the center of the stone platform, a pillar stood; in the fire, the pillar with golden light was like a sundial needle, standing in the center of the stone platform.
As I gradually became clear, I saw clearly that around the pillars, there were tall shelves, and on the racks, there were oval things, emitting a dazzling golden light like a pillar.
Zhuo Bufei obviously saw the general situation below, and excitedly ran down the stone steps. We followed closely behind. At this moment, the lights were bright and the surroundings were very bright, so we also quickly lowered our feet.
I didn't know how many turns I turned my mind, and I became dizzy due to lack of oxygen. I suddenly saw faint flames falling from the space in the abyss. I couldn't help but look up at the sky and found in horror that the flame altar at both ends of the cow's horns rolled, like a rushing tide, as if it was unstoppable, and was about to overflow and pour down. The flames that kept dripping from afar were like tears of the cow.
The fire bull's tears, of course, are filled with flames!
The flames dripped down, making a harsh sound, cutting through the dark abyss of nothingness, making people feel pain in their ears. Looking slowly, the strange stone platform under the abyss was like mushrooms bulging. When you look down at the surroundings of the stone platform, it was still a bottomless abyss.
A strong smell of smell came into the breath, very familiar, but it made people feel disgusting. I couldn't help but look up and found that the sea of fire that was about to overflow above the head was finally unable to suppress it as it swayed, and it continued to overflow along the edge of the sea of fire. Suddenly, a series of fire curtains poured down, with a strange smell, like the strange smell that began to burn the snakes.
