Riding the wind of rebirth

Chapter 471

He picked out a canvas bag and asked Hengfa to pull it up to the top of the cliff. After throwing the rope down again, Zhou Zhi also took the buckle and tied it with a climbing knot, and started to go up the cliff.

Walk to the bottom of the gap, climb up to a certain position with the help of the cliff, choose a depth where you can lean against the side of the gap, stretch your legs against the other side of the gap, fix your body on the cliff, and start climbing.

This action is a bit like a vertical breaststroke. First, the legs are retracted, the legs are separated, the body is straightened after being fixed, the arms are supported, and the legs are retracted and the legs are separated again, just like a tree frog climbing up the cliff.

Except for some adjustments, climbing such a cliff is actually easy and pleasant. As the line of sight rises, the scenery outside the gap is gradually changing, from being hidden under the forest to being level with the crown of the tree. Then, beyond the canopy, you can see the strong sunlight shining on the top of the canopy, until the line of sight becomes wider and wider, and you can see the spectacular scenery of the whole valley.

Of course, from here, the line of sight can only see the side of a gap, and the other side is the cliff of the big cliff.

It is difficult to attach plants to the red sandstone. Except for some long vines hanging from the cliff, and a small amount of dendrobium and fern in the stone nest, it is the lichen covered by the water on the ocher red stone wall, which makes this big cliff It seems that some undecipherable scriptures were written by mysterious big hands.

This kind of line of sight shielding is of great benefit to people's psychological protection. Although he is already at a height of more than ten floors above the ground, Zhou Zhi feels full of security in his heart, and even enjoys the scenery leisurely.

There are some stone eaves and stone nests in the crevices that can shelter from the rain. When Zhou Zhi climbed to a certain height, he found that these stone eaves and stone nests had been remodeled, and there were a lot of clay lamps.

Every clay pot is a swallow's nest, but most of them are already empty, and there are only a few heads with black heads and white chins, poking out curiously to look at Zhou Zhi, chattering nonstop.

Now is the seventh month of the lunar calendar, and most of the little swallows have grown up and can leave the nest for food.

When approaching the top of the cliff, the gap began to widen, but fortunately, just like the top of Guanyin's head, the slope for climbing began to slow down.

Zhou Zhi found some "foot pockets", which proved that someone had visited here a long time ago, and they took it as a shelter for a long time, and spent a lot of effort to build it.

The vast mountains at the junction of Sichuan, Yunnan and Guizhou, along the ancient tea-horse road, do not know how many places like this are hidden.

After climbing a few more steps, the ground finally became enough to stand upright. Zhou Zhi hurried a few more steps, and finally reached the red sandstone fence on the edge of Guanyin Cliff, and stepped over to reach the top of the cliff.

It looks small from a distance, but now I realize that the area is really big, at least three or four hundred square meters.

"It's not bad here..." Zhou Zhi looked around the small square, and found that Master Qiao had already sat on the railing facing the cliff outside, and had also come to his side.

Under the cliffs of Yadan Stone, there are continuous hills, which are covered by dense vegetation, all of which are green in various colors, and there is no color of soil at all.

Between the hills, it can be seen that the green is tenderer. Those are the bamboo forests by the stream, covering the stream with their own posture.

If you look far away along the light green, you will see a trace of waterline. That is when the stream becomes wider and the bamboo forest can no longer cover it.

There is a piece of ocher red cliff behind, and the boundless verdant green in front of you, with the white clouds on the zenith and the swallow language in the mountains, now that the sun has come to the back of the mountain, the coolness is beginning to appear, which is very comfortable.

"Show me the binoculars." Master Qiao stretched out his hand: "I don't know if anyone on Anle Mountain is watching our side. Is that Jiachuan?"

"I'm afraid not." Zhou Zhi handed over the binoculars. Anle Mountain is shaped like a pen holder, and it looks very special. Admittedly, the place you saw is obviously correct, but it is actually far away from Anle Mountain, so it should be the first town, right?"

"That's right, I didn't find Dashuikou..." Mr. Qiao looked at the basin under the cliff with a telescope: "It seems that the Japanese army suffered such a loss during the Japanese-Russian Lushun War. Because of visual observation errors, all the shells were sent to Mantou Mountain. Go behind the Russian fortress..."

"If Wenyu is appointed to chat with you... you should pay attention to look at the flood river. If it is Xianshi Town, there is a soy sauce garden next to the river, and there are many sauce jars with water."

"I'll look for... oh, those little dots, right? There are a lot of grass along the riverside..."

"It should be. This also reminded me that I have to bring some soy sauce back when I pass by there..."

"Brother, shouldn't it be time for us to get down to business?"

"Ah yes, but if there was a show, you wouldn't be sitting here, would you?"

"..."

No matter what he said, Zhou Zhi got up and went to explore the grotto at the junction of the small cliff and the big cliff.

There may have been buildings like temples here, because there are some square holes in the ground near the grottoes.

It is conceivable that there was a building standing here back then, connecting with the grotto behind to form a space.

Now these square holes are filled with rotten soil, which has become flower pots for weeds. For some reason, there is no rotten wood and broken tiles left on the buildings on the cliff, and there is a big opening in the grotto, without any shelter.

However, the opening of the grotto is only the opening, and the two sides are still closed with stone blocks, and even opened a few small windows.

Walking into the grotto, Hengfa is already busy in the "main room", where there is a firepit.

Zhou Zhi raised his head and found that the stone wall above his head had been blackened, and the traces had been walking along the stone wall to one side, and then emerged from a crack in a corner of the "ear room".

This is the wisdom of the predecessors. This effect can be achieved by using the unique microclimate of this cliff without a chimney.

Hengfa was using something hanging up to boil water and bake potatoes. Seeing Zhou Zhi come in, he smiled and said, "How is it? Isn't it a good place to sleep tonight?"

"It's pretty good." Zhou Zhi nodded, "It's just that what we want is not here."

"Hi!" Hengfa is actually not very optimistic about the two children's ideas at all. This trip is supposed to be accompanied by the abbot's order: "This place is probably too prominent in the eyes of the mountain people. Who would dare to hide it if everyone knows it?" thing?"

Zhou Zhi did not quite agree with this statement, and it was also the reason why he insisted on coming over to take a look, because the people in the mountains are still very simple, and they rarely go back to disturb the legendary grottoes, hanging coffins, caves, etc. .

The proof is that during the archaeological activities of the Bo people's hanging coffins last year, funerary objects could also be found in the coffins. Zhou Zhi also found several tombs that had not been disturbed when he was conducting field investigations.

However, the cave here is obviously not among them. There are obviously some traces of carving on the inner wall of the grotto. There is a row of stone platforms and three semi-columnar stone pillars in relief.

You can also see the general shape of the Buddha of the Third Age or the statue of Sanqing, where the stone was once preserved, and then it was used as the carcass to shape the statue.

But now these are also gone, not even a trace left.

There were a few grass nests by the window, but those were nests built by wild birds. Now that Zhou Zhi and his party came, they scared the wild birds away.
