Queen of Nongmen: Hexagrams determine the universe

Chapter 421 Strange Birds
The second person immediately passed this passage on to the back, and when the news reached the woman's ears, the woman said impatiently: "Then find an agency! Why are you still standing there? Do you want to wait until it gets dark before doing anything? The emperor didn't come here to let you have something to eat! Didn't you go to the grave and fight upside down before? Don't tell me you haven't even seen such a big storm, so why are you panicking?"

After these words reached the ears of the people in front, the people in front looked at each other with hesitation on their faces.

They are not fully sure that they can avoid those organs that are harmful to them, and build this plank road. In case they accidentally encounter those organs that hurt people, and this plank road is very narrow, then they will walk on the path Isn't the person in front bearing the brunt?

The emperor's promotion to rank is really a hot potato!

Many people regretted it, but now there is no way out, so they can only think about life and death, and wealth is in the sky.

Therefore, the people in front began to search for mechanisms on the stone walls. After a while, they actually found several empty stone walls. After removing the outer stones, they found sophisticated mechanisms inside.

This mechanism technique is very ingenious, it is really unheard of and unseen.

The few people who walked in front studied the mechanism for a long time, but they didn't find out why.

In the end, the crowd was really helpless, so they had no choice but to try the mechanism. They tried to twist the first switch, and immediately spit out huge boulders from the hollows on the mountain. The mummy was pushed down, and then, it hit them hard on the head.

Because the plank road is very narrow, some people were crushed to death on the spot, and some were pushed down by boulders and rolled down the cliff.

So, not long after, dozens of people were lost in this team of three to four hundred people.

After the stones rolled far away, they would roll crookedly and fall to the bottom of the cliff.

After the first attempt failed, everyone turned pale, and after a while, everyone took a breath before starting the second attempt.

However, the second attempt was not ideal. The turning mechanism this time exposed gaps in the stone wall beside them, and sharp arrows were shot from the gaps. Many people were hit by the trick. They were shot, and some people were even shot at key parts and killed with one arrow.

After two attempts, both soldiers were lost.

Those arrows shot a full cup of tea before stopping.

The woman's face was gloomy, and everyone lowered their heads and dared not speak. They really didn't want to make unnecessary attempts anymore. This was simply risking their lives.

The woman frowned, and thought to herself, 90 or [-] people have already been lost by walking here, and it is impossible to continue like this. Instead of fighting with the authorities here, it is better to go back and think of a way.

"Let's go back and rest first! We must discuss a countermeasure tonight!" the woman said sharply.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief and nodded.

Ye Qiongdan's hearing was excellent, after hearing what he said, he pulled Ye Qinghan's sleeves, and the two of them disappeared lightly like cranes in the mountains with their lightness kung fu.

The team of hundreds of people turned around and walked down the mountain.

After reaching the bottom of the mountain, some people went to rescue the survivors who fell down the mountain, and the rest began to pitch tents.

Ye Qiongdan and Ye Qinghan were resting not far from them. What happened today made them tired and panicked. Therefore, the patrols became careless. After a while, the person in charge of the patrols came back dejected, thinking that they would have to meet again tomorrow. Facing the dangerous plank road, they felt their scalps tingling.

After dinner, they lit a bonfire, sat around the bonfire, and began to discuss countermeasures.

After discussing for a long time, they decided to cut down a big tree around here, and then transport the tree to the mountain, build a simple single-plank bridge on both sides of the plank road, and let everyone walk across the single-plank bridge.

Although this idea sounds dangerous, it seems the most suitable idea at the moment.

It's just that the towering tree is too heavy, and the plank road is too narrow for two people to walk side by side. If one person lifts the tree in front and the other lifts the tree behind, it is absolutely impossible to lift the whole tree of.

So after a brief discussion, everyone decided to use the crude tools at hand to build a straight bridge with wood, which would make it easier to carry up the plank road.

This night, some people were resting by the bonfire, while others were busy.

That night, Ye Qiongdan leaned against Ye Qinghan's arms and slept peacefully, as if sleeping in the spring breeze of falling peach petals, peaceful and warm.

Ye Qinghan's sleep was very shallow, and she was always worried that she would catch a cold, so she opened her eyes from time to time to see if the clothes covering her had fallen off.

She was covered with two people's clothes, and Ye Qinghan only relied on his internal strength to keep out the cold.

Early the next morning, they carried a simple wooden bridge towards the plank road.

Ye Qiongdan and Ye Qinghan followed them from a distance, and soon they arrived at the place where they retreated yesterday, erected the prepared wooden bridge, and passed through here smoothly.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, with smiles on their faces.

But immediately, they remembered that there might still be unknown dangers lurking on the road ahead, and their hearts became heavy again.

Everyone was very nervous and walked forward with heavy steps. After about half an hour, they had already walked along the plank road to the top of the cliff. A group of fierce birds flew from nowhere and attacked them as if they were prey. , very fierce.

Some birds even tried to grab them by the back collar and throw them off the plank road.

When they looked down, they realized that there were misty white clouds under the cliff. They had already climbed high. If they were thrown by birds from here, it would be a dead end.

Everyone struggled with the birds, but there were too many of them, it was like a black cloud, and they scratched them all with injuries.

Someone couldn't stand it anymore and fell off the cliff.

As soon as the man fell from the cliff, several birds rushed up, grabbed his clothes with sharp claws, flew into the vast sea of ​​clouds, and disappeared from everyone's sight.

Unexpectedly, this bird is so smart and knows how to divide and cooperate.

The crowd fought with the birds for a long while, and those birds were brave enough to die. After many of them died, they saw that their companions had caught enough food, so they flapped their wings and disappeared into the sea of ​​clouds.

At this time, the team of three to four hundred people has already lost a quarter.

The woman's face was livid, she reached out her hand to touch the scar on her cheek, and clenched her fists hard.

Everyone thought that the companion who was still alive a moment ago had probably become the food in the bird's belly at this moment, and they couldn't help but feel a sense of sadness.

"Go on!" the woman snapped.

Everyone had no choice but to move on.

After walking for another cup of tea, they found that the plank road had come to the end.

It seems that when the plank road was excavated here, there was no further excavation.

How to do this?
"There must be a way to go up, otherwise, what's the use of digging this plank road?" The woman frowned, "Everyone, look for it!"

Everyone immediately searched seriously. There are many weeds growing in the gaps of the stone wall. Since it is midsummer now, those weeds are very luxuriant, and they hide the iron chains among the weeds. They searched for a long time before they found it. There are some iron locks hanging down.

"It turns out that there is a chain ladder hanging from above!" Someone exclaimed in surprise, "We have a way to climb up!"

"Then why are you still standing there? Then hurry up!" the woman said hastily. The successive troubles in the past two days made her a little impatient.

"I don't know how many years have passed, the iron chains are all rusted, and I don't know if the iron chain hanging ladder is still firm..." Someone said hesitantly.

"You'll know if you try it? You, go up!" the woman ordered.

A look of remorse immediately appeared on that person's face, and he thought that he really shouldn't be such an early bird, now it's over, he's going to risk his life!

But dare he say no?He dare not.

Reluctantly, the man grabbed the iron chain and climbed up. After climbing for a long time, the iron chain broke, and then he fell into the vast sea of ​​clouds.

Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay, terrified.

"Try to see if you can find other iron chains around here!" the woman said unwillingly.

The crowd had no choice but to search carefully among the weeds. After a while, they found nearly a hundred iron cables, but those iron locks were rusted, and they didn't know if they were still firm, so they were afraid to go up and try them rashly. That's it, it's another fate of being smashed to pieces.

"Since we have found so many iron cables, let's try to climb one by one, there will always be an iron cable hanging ladder that we can climb up!" the woman said coldly.

In the hearts of the people, they dared not speak out, and no one wanted to risk their lives.

"You don't even want to go, do you? Then let the person who walks in the front try it!" The woman sneered, "Life and death are destiny, wealth and honor are in the sky. If you die, it means that your life span is over. If you are still alive, It means that your life should not be killed, and those who are timid and timid will hardly achieve great things!"

Everyone thought to themselves that you don't flinch, so why don't you give it a try?Of course, these words can only be thought about in their hearts, they dare not say it outright.

The few people walking in front bit the bullet and went to climb the iron chain. After climbing for a long time, the iron chain broke and they fell into the bottom of the deep cliff.

The cliff was so far away that when they fell, no one else could hear the sound of their bodies being smashed to the ground.

At this time, someone suggested: "Otherwise, let's find some heavy objects and hang them on the iron chains to test whether the iron lock is firm. If the iron lock cannot hang things weighing less than 150 catties, then It means that the iron chain can’t bear the weight of a person, so we can change it to another iron chain.”

After hearing this, everyone nodded happily.

The woman nodded slightly: "That's it. A pine tree grew out of a crack in the rock wall not far away, and it looked quite heavy. Send someone to cut down that pine tree."

The subordinates next to the woman arranged several people to cut down the pine tree. According to the weight of the person, they cut the pine tree into several large pieces, and then dragged a large piece of wood and hung it on an iron chain.

Almost as soon as the large piece of wood was suspended from the iron chain, the iron lock broke.

Everyone quickly grasped the iron chain, and only then saved a piece of wood for the next use.

After dozens of attempts in this way, they finally found a strong iron lock.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief. At this time, Fang Jue's clothes behind his back were soaked with sweat.

"Then line up and climb up one by one! Go up ten people first, and go to the top of the mountain to see the situation!" the woman ordered.

Everyone nodded, and the ten people walking in front climbed up the iron chain hanging ladder, and after a while they became black spots in everyone's eyes.

After a cup of tea, the ten people climbed to the top. They patrolled around the top of the mountain, and after confirming that there was no danger, they got down on the ground and shouted loudly: "There is no danger, come up quickly!"
