Chapter 465 Near here (one more)
Aunt Rou held the torch in one hand, and at the same time she had to worry about the torch burning the rope, so the center of her whole body was on the right hand holding the rope.

Rou Gu has never experienced such a feeling of weightlessness that completely floats in the air. Now, she is really afraid.

At this time, the rope swayed suddenly due to the force of her stepping on it, her center of gravity was unstable, and her body was seriously tilted in the air. In an emergency, she had to let go of the torch and grab the rope with both hands.

The torch immediately fell off the cliff, as far away as a star, and disappeared in an instant.

"Gu Rou!" The subordinates following behind looked at the falling torch and exclaimed in surprise.

"I'm fine!" Aunt Rou hurriedly shouted, "I didn't fall."

"Huh... scared me to death!" said the subordinate, his voice trembling.

Aunt Rou held the rope tightly with both hands, her body was dangling on the rope, she was in complete darkness and couldn't see anything.

But she quickly regained her sanity and composure.

She is too clear about her current situation, not only the terrain is dangerous, but more importantly, if there is really no way ahead, then they will go back, choose another way, or return without success.

As for her who is far ahead, no one may be willing to come to rescue her.

An abandoned child, now she is her.

Aunt Rou licked her lower lip, looking at the darkness ahead.

All she can do now is save herself.

To find the available value to keep yourself alive.

Taking a deep breath, Aunt Rou climbed onto the railing, stepped on the rope next to her step by step, and walked forward gropingly.

"Young Master!" The subordinate between Shen Fan and Rou Gu looked back at Shen Fan behind him, "What should we do?"

Shen Wen held the torch, looking calm in the light of the fire, looking at the abyss outside the cable bridge in front of him.

After a while of silence, Shen Wen said, "Wait."

"what?"

Shen Yan didn't speak any more.

His hands trembled violently, trying to control himself to keep his balance.

"Young master?" the subordinate called out.

"Wait." Shen Yan said.

Aunt Rou is a smart person, she will not sit still.

So, wait.

Wait for Aunt Rou to go to the opposite side, or wait for Aunt Rou to fall down.

Time passed very slowly, crawling like a snail, Shen Yan and his subordinates were all looking at the dark place in front of them. A moment is like suffering.

It is even possible that Aunt Rou has already fallen down without a sound.

Just when Shen Yan decided to give up, Gu Rou's voice sounded: "My lord, I'm here! There's something here!"

Aunt Rou knelt on the ground, covered in cold sweat, with her hands on the cliff, almost collapsed.

This sentence was almost shouted out by her with all her strength.

"Okay," came the Shen Yan voice, "what's the matter?"

After waiting for a long time, Gu Rou took out the fire pocket and candles from her bosom.

The light of the candle was lit, and she shielded herself from the cold wind with her hand, while raising it to look at the cliff.

She stretched out her hand to touch the thing mentioned just now, and with the light of the candle, a row of patterns appeared on the cliff, which she had seen in Shen Wen's ancient book.

In addition to patterns, she also found a few lamp sockets.

Is it still usable?

Aunt Rou stood on tiptoe and brought the candlelight to these lamp holders.

A few lights still light up, and some don't light up at all.

As the light from these lamp holders diffused, the visibility here became clearer, and the patterns on the cliff became more obvious.

"My lord, it's pattern!" Aunt Rou said.

Aunt Rou wiped away the frost and snow with her sleeve, and just blowing on it turned into flakes of dust.

At the same time, there is a cable bridge further in front of the platform.

Aunt Rou looked over there, not knowing whether to go or not.

The platform she is standing on now is very spacious, about five feet wide and three feet long. Compared with the high-altitude ropes just now, she feels much safer, but she understands that Shen Fan is not limited to this, this trip is to find of the Dark Temple.

The lamp holders on the platform side were lit, and there was enough light, which made the later people feel a little better.

His subordinates came tremblingly, Rou Gu took over his torch, and then Shen Wen.

In addition to them, there are new men from above.

Apart from Shen Wen and Rou Gu, a total of 22 people came to this trip, there must be six trusted people staying on top, and the rest will come down.

Shen Yan held on to the torch, looked up at the patterns on the wall, there were ancient characters on the right side of the patterns, Rougu could only recognize one or two of them.

Shen Yan looked very slowly, his slender fingers slowly slid across the patterns on the wall, under the firelight, the back of his wrinkled hands seemed to be covered with a layer of sunset, which was much gentler and less old.

Aunt Rou looked at his side face, he had no expression, he was always calm.

Shen Yan is not a person who likes to laugh, but he smiles every day. Aunt Rou is by his side the longest, watching him smile at his relatives, outsiders, and passers-by, even if others know how much his smile is. False, he will continue to laugh.

Others said he was shameless and shameless, but he didn't care, his lips were always raised.

Only in front of his subordinates, he seems to be the real him, such as now.

After a long time, Shen Wen said, "It's a map."

"map?"

"We need to keep looking, it's near here," Shen Yan looked around, and said, "The cliff we chose is right."

"Do we need to split things up?" Rou Gu said, "There is also a road to the south where we came down, and here."

Aunt Rou looked towards the cable bridge further north.

"Okay." Shen Wen said, looked back at the other subordinates, and began to arrange staff.

Rou Gu's gaze was still on the north side, those cable bridges attached to the cliffs were empty, perhaps no one had stepped on them for hundreds of years, thinking about the shock just now, she still had lingering fears in her heart.

Withdrawing her gaze, she looked at Shen Wen, Shen Wen was good at commanding her subordinates, she had already assigned a good manpower, two people were left here, and there were two more people who needed to go back and bring more things down, Shen Wen herself would be with Aunt Rou, Two other men continued to walk north to the rope bridge.

The subordinates took orders and acted separately.

Shen Yan didn't leave immediately, but looked up at the sky.

Today's night sky is particularly clear, the sky is full of stars, and the sky is densely covered.

"Master?" Rou Gu called out softly.

"En." Shen Yan replied, his gaze still in the sky.

"Young master, what are you thinking?"

"Zhiyan should be fine." Shen Yan said.

"It will be fine, maybe, he really returned to the capital to go to the Palace of Searching for Chances."

Shen Yan raised his brows slightly, and suddenly smiled: "Really?"

"It must be," Rou Gu said, "At that time he refused to agree to the other four points, but this was the only thing he agreed to, so son, you don't have to worry."

Shen Yan smiled even more happily, and said: "I know you, but for the other points, I won't even pretend to agree."

"If he pretends to agree, I'm afraid you won't believe me, right?"

"But I asked him to get married within three years, if he agrees, I won't believe it," Shen Wen said, "Three years later, he will be 89, so what's so special about getting married?"

Aunt Rou looked at him, paused, and said in a low voice: "Young master is now 89 or [-], isn't he still not married?"
