Sleeping Arhat

Chapter 43

Both legs were hovering on the two branches of the tree, with the branch between the thighs, sitting on the buttocks in the air, Wu Xian sprayed a sip of wine on the palm of his hand, bursts of tingling pain went deep into the bone marrow, and quickly tore off the coarse cloth at the corner of his clothes, his hands and mouth Qi Yong wrapped the cloth around his hands, and after finishing the tying, Wu Xian just raised his head and took a long breath, when he happened to see a rock chrysanthemum in the crevice of the rock wall above his head, and reached out to pick it up.

Wu Xian carefully removed the sporadic soil from the root of the herb, and then put the whole plant into his mouth. After chewing it up, he spat out the fresh green leaves and juice on his palm, and then spread it on his face The wound just covered the eyebrows on the forehead.

Leaning back weakly on the stone wall, feeling a little flustered, leaning his head on the sharp stone wall, looking up at the scorching sun, looking down at the abyss where the clouds and mist hovered, Wu Xian didn't know what was going on in his heart Feeling, remorse, self-blame, arrogance, perseverance, bravery, longing, despair, giving up.All kinds of complex feelings came together in my heart, I could only close my eyes and think about it, let go of the complicated thoughts in my mind, and concentrate on adjusting my inner breath and physical strength.

"Ah, ah." A long and mournful howl rang out in the empty valley beside the cliff. Wu Xian, who closed his eyes and rested, was startled in his ears, and a bright light flashed in his clear eyes, and the mournful long howl was full of tears. It was heartbroken and grief-stricken, and the voice reached Wu Xian was only the size of a frog's cry, and Wu Xian could clearly hear Zhu Changling's voice.

At this time, Wu Xian has no way to go up the mountain, and no way to go down the cliff. If he can find that platform, it can be said that there is no unparalleled road. Lifting to Renying and Quepen acupoints quickly, a thunderous voice came out: "Senior Zhu, where are you?"

Zhu Changling sat cross-legged on the ground, feeling very angry at Zhang Wuji's ungrateful brat. If he hadn't helped him many times, he would have fallen off the cliff a long time ago. How could he enjoy himself comfortably in the cave? A few peaches and fruits are not enough to satisfy one's hunger. Zhu Changling gritted his teeth, and his eyes were full of anger. If he found a chance, he would definitely die without a place to bury him.

Every time I think of being in such a desperate situation for the sword of slaying the dragon, the feeling of regret creeps up in my heart like a tide, and my heart becomes more painful and helpless: If I give myself another chance, I will never covet the supreme position of martial arts, and I will be one with peace of mind Rich man, wouldn't it be nice to eat abalone, bird's nest, fat chicken and mandarin fish every meal.

Therefore, whenever the heart and soul are broken, no one chats and entertains, and can only cry up to the sky to relieve the feeling of loneliness in the heart of regret, but this day when the heart is full of melancholy, the cry of mourning actually attracts a response, and Zhu Changling is excited. Pacing left and right on the platform, the feeling of hope is like the high sun at this time, the warm light shines on my heart, and all kinds of hopeless darkness are driven out of my heart.

Zhu Changling thought in his heart: Brother Wuxian and Zhen'er must have invited capable people, such a steep rock wall can be found here as if walking on flat ground, it is really a capable person.Zhu Changling heard the crisp voice, and shouted with all his strength: "Young man, I am here."

Wu Xian, who was far away on the other side of the cliff, heard Zhu Changling's majestic and excited voice at this time. After listening to the sound and identifying his position, he guessed that Zhu Changling must be on the other side of the cliff, so Wu Xian shouted again: "Senior, I'm here to find you."

Tightening the rope tightly, Wu Xian looked to the left with piercing eyes. At this time, he put away the rope for more than ten feet and tied a knot around his waist. When he was ready, Wu Xian called out again: "Senior Zhu, every other day you When the incense burns, I will shout, so that I can know your exact location."

"it is good."

Clutching his hands on the rock, stepping on the raised rock with both feet, Wu Xian crawled to the left. After learning the lesson, every time Wu Xian took a step, he would step on the rock a few times to see if the rock was reliable. It was unstable and crushed.

During the act, the situation was very dangerous, and Wu Xian almost fell several times, but luckily he grabbed the rock wall desperately to stabilize his body.And Zhu Changling, who had found hope, did not shout every single stick of incense, and often shouted three or four times within a stick of incense. Wu Xian calculated the distance and direction of the two in his mind, and it seemed that he did not make a mistake. The distance between the two was Getting closer.

Walking for another hour or two, I saw the big screen-like rock wall on the left, the vast sea of ​​clouds in front of my eyes, wisps of mist wrapped around the pine branches in the distance, as if covered with a white gauze, and Zhu Changling's voice was getting closer and closer. It is hoarse, but the excitement in it is not reduced by half, and the emotion is still high.

After finally turning around the huge rock wall, Wu Xian was like a gecko, crawling on the cliff alive and well, looking around again, he saw a large platform ten feet away on the lower left side, that platform was also ten feet wide, but It is bare without any trees.

Zhu Changling also stood on the platform and stared forward, his eyes full of joy, but Wu Xian looked away after a quick glance, and looked flatly at the stone wall in front of him.

Wu Xian climbed over carefully, Zhu Changling kept yelling "be careful", Wu Xian's elbows and knees were cut with blood dripping from the rock blade, and the steep rock wall was difficult to climb, Wu Xian didn't intend to just go over like this, pay attention On the way there was a thick pine tree. Wu Xian climbed to the trunk and sat up cross-legged. At this time, it was only five feet away from the platform. If he had a vigorous effort to climb over it, of course he could. You can see Zhu Changling on the platform, Wu Xian Abandoned the idea.

Zhu Changling looked up at Wu Xian, his benevolent face was full of tension and concern, in Zhu Changling's peaceful voice, he couldn't hide his concern, and said, "Young hero, you are only five feet short, and you will be able to do it in one breath. Come here, come quickly."

Wu Xian's face was pale, and he said weakly: "Senior, I'm out of strength, I'll just rest here for a while, and after resting, I'll crawl over."

Zhu Changling didn't try to persuade him any more, but the center of his chest seemed to be on fire, and his eyes were also faintly hot, but his face showed calm concern.

After resting for half an hour, Wu Xian stood lightly on the pine branch, stretched his body slightly, then grasped the rock wall and slowly climbed up to the platform on the left. I don't know whether it was a psychological effect or a topographical factor. Surprisingly easy, it didn't take a cup of tea to reach directly above the platform.

The platform is ten feet in radius, and it is also very spacious. Wu Xian clasped his fingers tightly to the cracks in the rock, and the muscles in his forearm and calf were very sore. Looking at the height of five or six feet in the sky, Wu Xian pushed his hands and feet towards the rock with all his strength, his body relying on the shock The force left the rock wall two or three feet, and then fell to the platform.

The moment Wu Xian landed, his legs retracted slightly to reduce the force, and he rolled forward in an instant, with a bang, his back hit the rock wall in front of him, Wu Xian gritted his teeth and snorted coldly, his body was so painful that he broke out in a cold sweat.
