Chapter 180
This small mountain peak is about fifty or sixty meters, and the more it goes up, the harder it is to climb. Li Qingyun didn't urge Mixue'er, because she saw her movements slower and her plump butt was on top of her head. Sometimes she would worry about whether she would suddenly fall down and hit her.
There were about fifteen or sixteen jackals under the hillside. At this time, all of them appeared and climbed up frantically. The jackal king stood behind and let out a long roar, as if he was very dissatisfied with the rhythm of the attack just now.
However, no matter how the Jackal King urged them, they could not climb the nearly vertical mountain. This mountain may also be stalactites, with great water seepage, and there is also a faint colored light under the sunlight.
It was six or seven meters away from the top of the mountain, and vines and small shrubs began to appear around it, and sometimes they would wrap around the grooves on the stone walls, causing difficulties and dangers to climbing.
Mixue'er suddenly screamed and slid down suddenly. She shouted in horror when her mouth was: "Snake, a snake bit me... on her feet..."
One of her hands was still clinging to the stone wall, and the other hand was panicked at the grass vine, while her feet were already hanging in the air, stomping on her black and white ringed snake, wrapped around her ankles, and under her horrified kick, she used signs of falling off.
Below her was Li Qingyun. The snake was more than one meter long, and its tail was almost hanging to Li Qingyun's head. Li Qingyun stretched out his hand and grabbed the tail of the silver ring snake, pulled it off Mixue'er's feet, threw it down the hillside, and fell onto a jackal.
The jackals under the hillside were in chaos. Li Qingyun had no time to watch the commotion below, held Mixue'er's feet and guided her feet back into the groove on the stone wall.
The silver ring snake is a highly venomous snake and belongs to neurotoxin. You will not feel much pain after being bitten, but there will be local paralysis and drowsiness.
Mixue'er obviously recognized the Silver Ring Snake. At this time, she cried and shouted pessimisticly: "Yun, I think I'm going to die... My legs were out of control at first, but now they can't go up and down, and I don't know what to do? But if I fall down, it may implicate you. Otherwise, I jump to one side and you hide on the other side, so that at least one of us can survive."
"Shut up, don't waste time in healing." This is a very low-probability event when encountering the attack of the Silver Ring Snake. The Silver Ring Snake probably has tolerated it for a long time. When Mixuer's upper body crawled over, the swing of her feet might have been a little larger, which scared the Silver Ring Snake and had to attack.
After scolding Mixue'er, Li Qingyun climbed on his ankle and sucked a few mouthfuls at the bite of the poisonous snake. He spit out poisonous blood, took out a little water from the small space, and rinsed his mouth.
"Don't waste time, just sucking out some toxins is not needed..." Mixueer stood above with difficulty, thanking Li Qingyun for helping herself suck the toxins regardless of the danger. However, she still had no feeling on her legs. She even had no sense of the injured leg bend. This means that in this dangerous environment, she could no longer climb smoothly.
Li Qingyun said: "Don't talk or waste your energy. I'll carry you up, only a few meters away, we can hold on to the end."
"Oh my God, how is this possible... It's extremely difficult to climb by yourself. How can I carry me up?"
Li Qingyun did not answer her, but just carried her from the middle of her legs with practical actions. Mixue'er's weight of more than 100 pounds was as if she had no weight. As long as she hugged her head tightly, she climbed up for the remaining few meters.
Mixue'er was stunned and felt her move upward incredibly. It was not until Li Qingyun's feet stepped onto the platform ground on the small mountain that she exclaimed, almost forgot the fact that she was still venomous in the silver ring snake.
There are many water marks on the platform on the top of the mountain peak, and there are also many bird droppings. Li Qingyun threw his backpack to the ground, then put Mixue'er on the backpack, and fed her the pills to treat snake venom in a blue porcelain bottle.
"I have anti-venomous serum in my backpack... Oh, Shit, I forgot, the backpack has sunk to the bottom of the water." Mixue'er cursed in annoyance.
However, she was implicated and scared, and she had no strength. In addition, the toxin of the silver ring snake had its effect, and her eyelids were very heavy. She wanted to fall down and couldn't get up.
Li Qingyun wanted to test whether the poisonous snakes here were affected by the sun meteorites. She only took five snake medicines and did not take 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.
Mixue'er lay on her backpack and fell asleep soon. Li Qingyun checked her ankle and saw that the swelling was not obvious. She helped her inhaling poison again, took out firewood from the small space, and a fire was raised around.
He summoned the lazy Haidongqing and let it protect Mixue'er by the fire. This Haidongqing had a fat body and was summoned by Li Qingyun. He was reluctant, but he was obedient and just stood beside Mixue'er and took a nap.
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, which was made of wooden boards and rattans. There were wooden wedges at the connection, and the small door was closed.
With a light push, the wooden door made a broken "crunch" sound, which was decayed. From the damaged door opening, a damp musty smell came from the dark inside, and there was no sign of anything.
I shine it in with a searchlight and then I see that there are stone chopping boards, stone pots and stoves here, no beds, and no clothes.
In the corner of this wooden house, there is actually a stone cave entrance. The entrance is wide and short, as if it was smashed out with something. The entrance is very simple, all with gaps, without a trace of neatness.
The wooden boards used for making wooden houses are very thick, and the roofs are mostly thatched and vines, which are covered very tightly, and there are no traces of water leakage so far.
"Someone has lived here and finally built a wooden house to make a kitchen. It's really weird. However, it's very close to the gap on the top of the cave. It should rain often. If you want to have a cooked meal, ordinary simple stoves are not good either."
"They used all the stone tools, which means that the humans who have been living here have no preparations and can only rely on hand to create daily necessities. There are stone knives on the stone chopping board and several skeletons. It seems that they left or died without cleaning the food on the chopping board."
Li Qingyun observed carefully at the door for a while and found that there was no danger. Then he slowly walked into the wooden house. Except for the stone chopping board that was not cleaned up, the other places were cleaned very neatly, which means that the owner was still a very clean person.
When he walked to the gate of the stone cave, Li Qingyun sniffed carefully and found nothing unusual before he walked in.
The stone cave is not big, and you can see the situation inside at a glance. It is actually very wide inside, with a wooden bed with nothing on it. There is a stone desk, with some bamboo slips and stone carving knives.
On the innermost wall of the cave, there is a large word "Tao", and on the entire stone wall next to it, there are dense small characters engraved.
Under the character "Dao", there is a vine grass futon, and there is a skeleton rack on it. It is in a standard meditation posture. When you die, your spine is straight, without a trace of bent, and the meditation posture is not messy.
On the ground next to the skeleton rack, there was a ragged Taoist suit, which should have fallen off the Taoist body.
Li Qingyun walked into the cave, glanced at the bamboo slips on the table, and walked straight to the skeleton. After careful observation, he found that the Taoist priest had long hair and beards during his lifetime. His hair was white and his age should be quite old. I don’t know if he had grown old before he fell down, or if he lived in the cave until he died of old age and death.
Standing in front of the skeleton and watching the small letters on the stone wall, in traditional Chinese.
"The great way is to be born in heaven, the earth, the human beings, and the creatures are named. It contains the mechanism of yin and yang movement and stillness, and has the mysterious principles of creation. It is to be born in Wuji and give birth to Taiji. Wuji is the nameless, and the nameless is the beginning of heaven and earth; Taiji is famous, and the nameless is the mother of all things. If it is famous because of nameless, then nature is born, earth is born, life is born, and things are born. Now it is specifically for life. Before the parents were born, they were Taiwei, and they were entrusted to Mu. This is the time of Wuji. Wuji is Yin and quiet. Yin and yin are also quiet."
The word is not big, just around the word "Tao", engraved the entire wall behind the cave. Li Qingyun carefully identified it for a while and seemed to remember it. It seemed to be the words and sentences in Zhang Sanfeng's "The Great Dao Lun". It has no practical significance. Perhaps there is some spiritual sustenance to Taoist disciples, and Li Qingyun will not make any comments.
In the text on the stone wall, the Taoist priest's identity was not found. He returned to the edge of the bed. The bed was mostly covered with soft grass, without any other cloth or cotton. However, there was a rusty long sword covered with gaps near the head of the bed, and the tip of the sword was even broken.
The bamboo slips on the table are quite complete. Since they are all traditional Chinese characters, Li Qingyun has struggled to read, but after a few volumes of bamboo slips, he found the words "Lingxu Handwritten" and "Lingxu Book" and other words.
Seeing these words, Li Qingyun was shocked and finally knew that the origin of this skeleton Taoist priest was actually Taoist Lingxu from the Taoist Temple on the top of the mountain. Taoist Lingxu suddenly disappeared, and it is still a mystery in Taoist Temple. Unexpectedly, his body would appear in the cave below the Taoist temple.
"There is a small path on the side of the Taoist Temple, leading to the small forest on the Taoist Temple. There is a cliff. It is said that it was also the cultivation area of the Taoist Tea that year. People should have passed by the small path. When I and Mixue fell, there was a hole on the road. This hole may have appeared recently. Taoist Master Lingxu should have fallen from another place, 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 it looked too difficult, so he would take a closer look when he went out later.
After leaving the cave and the wooden house, I saw Mixue'er still in a coma. Two poisonous snakes died in front of Hai Dongqing, one bamboo leaf green and one five-step snake. The snake gallbladder had been eaten by Hai Dongqing, and the other parts of the snake did not move.
Seeing Li Qingyun come back, Hai Dongqing whistled and pushed the poisonous snake on the ground with his claws, as if he was seeking credit.
