Chapter 17 Finding Shen Qi
In the early morning, everything is silent.
The mountain wind swept across the peak, rolling up the broken leaves and dead branches, and the whistling sound mixed with rustling sounds.
If it weren't for the cracks on the ground and the bright red blood stains that had not been completely dried on several beaches, this as usual environment would not have seen that a fierce battle had occurred here a few hours ago.
Halfway through the mountain, five or six disciples were holding weapons, rushing down the mountain with exhaustion on their faces, muttering in a low voice.
"The elders were too careful. Such a high cliff, and he suffered such severe injuries. If he fell down, can he still have a way out? We have to search carefully for so long, and we are exhausted!"
"That's it! A cliff is so strong that you can't immediately break into pieces when you fall? Don't say whether you can survive or not, it's a problem if you can find some slag!"
"You guys don't say it. I never thought that this old man who has been doing heavy work in our sect with shackles on his body would have such terrifying strength! I had scolded him for not dying, but fortunately he is dead now, otherwise I would be really scared to death."
"When you go down to the foot of the mountain, don't gossip like this, saying that the old thief has a strong martial arts skills. You have also heard the words that the leader ordered at the end. Today, Shen Qi made our sect ugly one after another! With one man's strength, he fought against Elder Lei and Elder Meng, and almost all had the upper hand, but he lost in the end. Our sect won the less, and he won the less, but he won the battle with the more, but he was still honored even if he lost!"
"Oh, I really admire this old thief. I dare to fight our entire sect one by one. And before the real person of the head appeared, no one could do anything to him. If I had such martial arts skills, I might be like him, and I would be as happy as he would be the one who would do anything to the world!"
As the conversation was getting louder, the voices of several people gradually faded away, and they could never hear them again.
At this time, a clump of low bushes that were originally motionless on the roadside suddenly shaking, making a rustling sound. In the darkness, a figure suddenly emerged from the bushes, like a mountain ape, running towards the top of the peak flexibly.
This person was Qin Shuang. He returned to his residence and couldn't sleep. He finally waited until this time to get up from the bed quietly, avoided the disciples patrolling the mountain, and came to the place where Shen Qi fell off the cliff a few hours ago.
He took out a thick hemp rope that had been prepared, tied tightly to the trunk of a pine tree, and tied a knot on his waist on the other end, then pulled the rope hard, and tried the force, and felt that the rope was still very strong.
After doing all this, Qin Shuang came to the edge of the cliff that Shen Qi had fallen down before, and looked down. It was pitch black except for the lingering clouds and mist. He could only hear the whistling sound of the mountain wind. Late at night, on the top of such an empty mountain, the sound of this wind was like countless demons and ghosts laughing and roaring strangely.
Qin Shuang took a deep breath. Although he was a little nervous, he still had no plans to change his plan. When he came here, he just wanted to go down the cliff to take a look, because he was still thinking about the intent. Maybe Qi Uncle Fu was lucky and even though he fell off the cliff, he did not die!
Although this possibility is extremely low, Qin Shuang does not intend to give up as long as there is a glimmer of hope.
Even if Uncle Qi was really crushed to pieces, he would have to clean up the remains and buried them on the spot. Chen Qi and him were both teachers and friends, and they were kind to him. Qin Shuang was not a villain who was ungrateful or did not repay his kindness.
He saw the footholds on several cliffs and carefully pulled the rope and climbed down. At this time, he couldn't help but regret that he didn't sign up for the interest class for rock climbing when he was in college and had no experience in rock climbing. Otherwise, he wouldn't have climbed so terrified.
However, Qin Shuang, who has practiced "Guanghan Jue", has now improved his strength and body lightness a lot, so even for the first time, he did not slow down and quickly got a height of dozens of meters.
Suddenly, a strong wind rolled over without warning, and threw Qin Shuang, who was unprepared, away from the cliff. Qin Shuang screamed, and his mind was so scared that he almost exploded. He only knew how to hold the rope tightly.
Fortunately, he finally tied the rope tightly enough, and the hemp rope was tough enough, so although Qin Shuang was blown into the air of the cliff by the strong wind, he quickly swung back when the rope was pulled down. With a thud, he hit the mountain wall heavily, and the pain made him scream.
Although severe pain continued to come from his hands, feet and body, he grabbed some protruding places on the mountain wall tightly, pressing against the mountain wall, and did not dare to move, for fear of swinging out again.
It was only then that he realized that the mountain wind felt on the cliff and the mountain wall was several times stronger than the mountain wind felt on the peak. If you are not careful, you may be blown away at any time.
Thinking of this, Qin Shuang couldn't help frowning. Since the wind here is really so strong, when Uncle Qi fell from above, he was probably blown somewhere else. He looked for it along the place where he fell, which was no different from Kezhou asking for a sword.
Qin Shuang sighed. Even so, he didn't intend to give up. As long as he didn't see Uncle Qi's body, he wouldn't give up easily.
He continued to move on, this time, he had a lot of experience and became more careful; as soon as a strong mountain wind whistled, he would immediately put his body close to the mountain wall to avoid exposing his body to the front of the strong wind.
But soon, Qin Shuang stopped climbing. It was not that he had seen Chen Qi's body, but that the rope he brought had already reached the end; the longest hemp rope he could find was actually only nearly one hundred meters long to the end, and now, the length of the rope has reached its end.
Once the rope reaches its end, unless Qin Shuang grows a pair of wings, if he wants to continue down, he can only untie the rope and climb with his bare hands.
At this time, the surroundings of his body were completely covered with clouds, and his sight could not even reach two meters away. As for the fog under his feet, he could only hear the sound of strong wind roaring everywhere around him.
Qin Shuang reached out and touched the smooth cliff. He couldn't help but sigh. From the first half of the climb, the mountain wall still had many concave and convex places for him to settle down and hold on, but when he arrived here, the mountain wall had become very flat. Even if there were occasionally one or two depressions, it was difficult to use because the depth was too shallow.
It can be said that if he untied the rope at this time, there would be no other result except to fall directly.
It seems that there is no way to go down to the end today. Qin Shuang plans to go back first and find a longer rope, and then return here, connect the two ropes to see if they can go down one or two hundred meters more.
Just as he was about to climb up, a violent gust of wind suddenly swept over from the side, and once again threw Qin Shuang, who had no place to hold the mountain wall, to the other side.
The wind was particularly strong this time. Qin Shuang was shocked. He grabbed the rope tightly with one hand and grinded the mountain wall desperately with the other hand, hoping to catch something to stabilize his body, and even grind the hands with blood.
At this moment, in the thick clouds, an arm suddenly stretched out from the mountain wall, grabbed Qin Shuang's hand that was touching and scratching the mountain wall, and pulled Qin Shuang over.
Before Qin Shuang could react, he thumped and fell heavily to the ground. He fell into a dizzy way. Although it was a little painful, he was not injured.
"Who? Who is it?" Qin Shuang, who was a little dizzy, heard a heavy breathing sound in his ears, but his eyes were pitch black and he could not see anything.
After several breaths, his eyes finally adapted to the darkness, and the scenery in front of him gradually appeared.
It turned out that the place where he was was a cave, or even a cave was not considered a cave, it was just a larger mountain crack that happened to appear on the cliff.
The crack is wide on the outside, narrow on the inside, and not very high on the inside. It can only be barely allowed for two or three adults to sit down, but it is absolutely impossible to straighten your back.
At this time, in addition to Qin Shuang, there was another person sitting at the entrance of the crack, leaning against the wall, gasping heavily - if it weren't for Shen Qi, who else could there be?
Qin Shuang looked closely and exclaimed: "Uncle Qi!" He rushed over.
With the extremely dim light, Qin Shuang could see Shen Qi's face was like gold paper, his body was covered with blood, and there was also some bright red blood on the ground, which was obviously seriously injured.
Although Qin Shuang is a college student at the Medical University, in the face of this situation, and he has no medicine around him, he is helpless. He wants to learn the legendary exercises to heal his wounds, but he doesn't know what to do. He is so anxious that he doesn't know what to do, so he can only call "Uncle Qi, Uncle Qi..." in his mouth.
I don’t know if I heard Qin Shuang calling him, Shen Qi’s breath seemed to gradually calm down. After a while, he even opened his eyes slightly, looked at Qin Shuang in front of him, and suddenly grinned and said in a weak voice: “I did not miss you. It’s not in vain that I’ve cultivated your efforts. I knew that if someone could come down to save me, that person must be you.”
Qin Shuang was ashamed and sad, and said, "Uncle Qi, I'm sorry, I really wanted to come down to find you, but I didn't expect that you saved me in the end. I'm so useless."
He knew that if Shen Qi hadn't suddenly pulled him into this place just now, and he had swung a few more times, the rope would probably have been broken. At that time, his fate would have been torn to pieces.
Shen Qi shook his head weakly and said, "Even if you can find me, you can't save me. It's rare that you have this kind of heart. Uncle Qi is already very happy."
Qin Shuang looked around and asked, "Uncle Qi, how did you get to this place?"
