Bai Yueguang is blind

Chapter 37

Gedi said helplessly: "...you should trust me more."

Jiang Yibei wasn't embarrassed either, "I'm making a reasonable guess."

During the conversation, the movement has gradually eased down.Jiang Yibei originally thought that the secret passage was opened somewhere, but when he looked around, he found that there was no secret passage opening.

Gedi pointed out the way for this confused person, and motioned him to go to the edge of the cliff to have a look.Jiang Yibei glanced at Gedi's expression, took two steps towards the edge of the cliff suspiciously, and then stood there, speechless in shock.

The other cliffs are all cliffs and broken rocks, and at most they are vertical to the ground as if an ax had been cut through.This cliff is no exception here. It looks really thrilling, but this is not the real amazing place.

Jiang Yibei was so surprised that a cylindrical rock appeared near the cliff. The cross-section was about as big as a house, and it was about a foot away from the cliff.

On the side of the mountain rock, there is a staircase that rotates down, and the staircase is equipped with guardrails.The ladder guardrails are all simple and solemn, and they seem to be paved with high-quality stone materials.

There are no carvings, paintings and bird decorations, but it doesn't need to rely on those to win favor, just standing here is enough to make people amazing.

Jiang Yibei: "...this...you..."

Jiang Yibei opened and closed his lips several times, but he couldn't find any words to describe his inner feelings.I could only try to calm myself down, and after a long time, I uttered a sentence from the bottom of my heart,

"You people in Xuanji Pavilion are all lunatics."

Ge Di was noncommittal, but just introduced, "This pillar is the ladder to the sky, and it is made of a whole rock dug out of the cliff."

After that, he smiled, "Actually, it's very rough. What's really useless about this thing is the ingenious thing that connects it to the cliff. It can be pulled out when it's in use, and stored in the cliff when it's not in use."

Jiang Yibei swallowed, and said incomprehensibly, "Why is this thing built, just to collect herbs and see the scenery for you? It's not me, give me a stronger rope and I can go down to collect herbs Looking at the scenery, isn't this sick?"

Ge Di raised his eyebrows and said with a smile, "Do you have an opinion? Then you have to tell my ancestors yourself."

Jiang Yibei asked suspiciously, "Your ancestor?"

Ge Di: "..."

Jiang Yibei: "Are you from Ge Di's family?"

Gedi hadn't thought of it yet, the man paved the steps down first.

Gedi didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and said, "...Is it okay? You, go pick your medicine."

Jiang Yibei's face was inexplicably confused, and he felt that he couldn't control it anymore, this one was his own Bai Yueguang, and the other was himself... Well, they are quite close.What's wrong?

And looking at this thing, it seems that Your Excellency Xuanji has put a lot of effort into it.Since the blind man knew how to open it, he should belong to his own family, so he didn't guess randomly.

Jiang Yibei looked at the blind man suspiciously, thinking that the logic made sense, but there seemed to be something strange in the reaction of the Gedi.It's just that I can't figure out what's wrong for a while.

Ge Di heard that the man hadn't moved, so he urged Jiang Yibei again before leaving. Before leaving, he said, "You just wait here for me, you blind man don't run around, you know, I'll be up in a while."

Hearing this tone, Ge Di couldn't laugh or cry, and replied, "...I see, mother."

Jiang Yibei: "..."

my mother? ...Well, even if it is my mother-in-law, can I be blamed for this?Am I not concerned?

Jiang Yibei looked at a certain white-eyed wolf who was kindly acting as the liver and lungs of a donkey, and resigned himself to his fate to put down the burden, "There are dry food and water inside."

Ge Di continued, "You can't go yet."

Jiang Yibei: "...wait for me!"

Holding the sword in hand, Jiang Yibei didn't take the folding bridge connecting the cliff to the stone pillar, but jumped over it lightly.Then go down the stairs.

Although the cliff was as steep as an axe, the bottom of the cliff could not be seen at a glance.Depth is one aspect, and another aspect is that there is a layer of mist under the cliff.

Jiang Yibei felt a little strange walking on this so-called "ladder to heaven".This thing is half exposed and has some moss.

The other half is hidden in the cliff, so it is dry, there are birds and beasts making nests in the gaps, and even spider webs,

The rotating staircase caused him to walk through ten steps of greenery, and then step into dryness and cobwebs, and so on.

I don't know how long he walked, but when he looked up again, he couldn't see the top of the cliff anymore.Just a white mist.

To be honest, Jiang Yibei doesn't like this place very much. Tianjia Mountain is located in hot and humid, and the plants are already dense.Now it is paired with this layer of hazy fog, covering the original skylight, which always makes people suspicious that something is about to appear.

Jiang Yibei shook his head by himself, cleared out the messy thoughts, and said to himself that he really read too many strange stories.It would be serious to pick up the medicine and go back to meet the blind man.

Jiang Yibei took out the sketch of the medicinal vine from his bosom, observed the shape carefully, and then searched all the way down.

Ge Di on the top of the cliff sat in the gazebo for a while, until he reckoned that Jiang Yibei had gone far enough.Only then did he start to take apart the furoshiki of the burden he was carrying.

Inside is a columbarium.

The jar is dark, with some ghostly scenes embossed on it. The workmanship is not particularly exquisite, but rather rough.There is a rectangular blank on the front of the altar, where the name of the deceased was originally posted.

But at that time, time was running out, and Gedi You had just lost his hand and lost his eyesight.I picked up the pen and wrote a few sheets, and after I wrote them all, I went out of the paper.He didn't want others to write it for him, so in the end he was buried under that pine tree for three years without a name.

Ge Di touched the urn with a gentle expression.Then, he took out a willow leaf blade from nowhere, held the thing as thin as a cicada's wing, and carved the three characters "Ge Chuqi" on this square land.

The three characters are written elegantly and beautifully, and the writing is like a cloud of smoke, just like the person.

Gedi wiped the glaze ash on the edge of the notch with his fingers, and said softly to the urn, "I'm at the night stage, and I'll be there soon."

The night platform is the tomb and also the underworld.

The cliffs of the North Peak are just the family tomb of the master of the Xuanji Pavilion.

The so-called climbing the ladder is not about collecting herbs to see the scenery, but wishing the ancestors of all generations to ascend to bliss as soon as possible.

Ge Di picked up the urn and walked cautiously towards the ladder to the sky.

It was inconvenient for him to bring Jiang Yibei, an outsider, into the mausoleum of his family, so he could only go to gather medicine by himself first.

Ge Di counted the steps while stepping on the stone stairs step by step.Their generation needs to be placed in the lower position.The mausoleum on the top of the cliff is buried with the ancestor of the Ge family who founded the mountain. It is said that the ashes were dug out from the grave and then moved to this place.

The reason is that the construction of the ladder to heaven was in the hands of the seventh generation of the pavilion master. It is said that the pavilion master of that generation, Guizhang Teda, was extremely intelligent and produced many ingenious works. Even the Tianjian box was passed down from his generation.

It's just that this person's road to love is bumpy, he seems to be as good as Long Yang, and the person he cared about died young.Therefore, although he has made outstanding achievements in his life, he has not written much in the family tree because of his insanity.

When Ge Di felt that the position was almost ready, he put his hand on the armrest.Relying on the touch to identify the location, the guardrails I touched were originally made of stone, but at intervals, there would be a small piece of metal, the metal was not very obvious, and the numbers engraved on it represented the generations of the Ge family.

When Ge Di touched the generation belonging to himself and his sister, he stopped, and used ingenuity to open the metal, revealing a small vessel inside.

Gedi cut his own arm with a lancet blade, and let the blood drip in until the vessel was full.Then I saw the guardrail suddenly opened automatically, and then a door suddenly opened on the opposite cliff, and a bridge protruded from the door, directly reaching the stairs here.

On the way, a few gravels fell and fell into the abyss without even hearing an echo.

Ge Di stepped onto the bridge with the urn in his arms, seemingly not afraid of losing his foot, but said softly, "Chu Qi, we're here."

Then he stepped across the bridge smoothly and walked into the stone gate.As soon as a person steps in, the bridge is retracted immediately, and the stone gate is closed tightly, as if nothing happened just now.

----

It is said that Jiang Yibei searched for the medicinal vines all the way down, and the plants on the cliff were naturally different because of the different heights.But it's been changed several times, and I still haven't seen what I'm looking for.

Jiang Yibei almost wondered if Liu Yichun remembered it wrong.

But it’s all here, so I can’t go back empty-handed, so I decided to go to the bottom of the cliff, I don’t believe I can’t find it.

This idea just popped into my mind, and I remembered that the blind man was still waiting for me on the top of the cliff.If he is unarmed, if he is captured by Xuanji Pavilion, this person will definitely not be able to walk around.

Thinking about it this way, I quickened my pace.

After walking down for more than half an hour, I finally saw the shadow of the medicine vine.Jiang Yibei let out a long sigh of relief, took out the herb drawing for comparison, and after confirming that it was this kind of thing, he was ready to grab it.

This vine is also strange, once the part of the vine stem is torn off, the juice that flows out is milky white.But the "thin feet" that climb the cliff will ooze bright red juice once they leave the cliff, and there will be a sweet fragrance.And it is extremely fragile, no matter how thick or old it is, it is brittle.

Jiang Yibei originally planned to pick whole ones, but in his hands they were all cut into small pieces of one or two inches.In the end, I had no choice but to drag it a little bit.

Probably because he was too focused, he didn't notice that the sweet fragrance of the medicinal vines attracted other things.A snake crawled over under the green vine leaves.

I don't know how it got up this cliff, but it just stopped deep in the dense vine leaves, saw Jiang Yibei's hand approaching, and jumped out with a mouthful.

Jiang Yibei quickly grabbed the poisonous snake's seven inches, severed its head and neck, and threw it on the steps.

But for a snake, even if you peel it and cut it into small pieces, it can still perform a waist-twisting dance for you.

Jiang Yibei quickly tore off a piece of cloth belt, tied it to his upper arm with his teeth and the other hand, and tightened it.Then he opened the wound with the tip of the sword and squeezed out the poison.Fortunately, he left a water sac for Gedi, and he had another on his body, so he washed the wound with water.

I have done everything I can, but I don't know how strong the snake's venom is.Jiang Yibei sighed his luck, and was really angry at the twisted snake on the ground, so he helped him to divide the corpse.

He has never been very generous.

Out of anger, there is nothing I can do.With a heart attack, he felt that if he really died in the hands of this poisonous snake, he would have nothing to do.Where can I find a doctor in this place?

So he just settled down and went to pull the medicine vines again, and when the medicine vines were almost harvested, he started to walk back.

After walking for about half an hour, I didn't feel anything unusual, thinking that the poison of the snake had been restrained, so I completely removed the cloth belt on my upper arm.

When he finally climbed to the top of the cliff, he only saw the burden left by him in the gazebo, and did not see the shadow of the blind man.

Jiang Yibei saw that there were no traces of fighting in the gazebo, so he didn't panic.I just thought it was a person with three urgencies, so I sat down in the gazebo with peace of mind, and by the way, I took out the emergency medicine powder I brought yesterday and applied it on.

The breeze cleared, and the surrounding leaves rustled.

At this time, Jiang Yibei suddenly seemed to be on a tree not far away.He looked sideways slightly, raised his hand and flicked out the medicine bottle in his hand.

In order to avoid the medicine bottle, the man on the tree had to reveal his whereabouts.

The two met face to face, and Jiang Yibei saw that this man was covered in daylight, so he was not a good person at first glance.Thinking of the blind man who had disappeared when he came up, his train of thought suddenly went astray.

When the masked man saw Jiang Yibei, he didn't say a word.He only stared intently for a moment, then turned around and flashed into the jungle.

Jiang Yibei only thought that this man had caught the blind man, and there was no room for him to go, so he raised his sword and chased after him.
