Chapter 15 The Bridge of Frightening Souls
Chapter 15: The Bridge of Soul Scared
Shirley Yang and Yao Meier also shook their heads repeatedly, unable to believe that there would be an invisible bridge. Shirley Yang said: "In areas with highly concentrated energy, human physical common sense will lose its effect. As long as conditions allow, even time and space will be distorted and deformed, but the special airflow formed at the intersection of the valley will not have such a high energy field."
I smiled bitterly and said, "Mr. Sun Jiu is worthy of being an old comrade. He implements the instructions of the leaders thoroughly. Shirley Yang is worthy of being a top student at the US Naval Academy. What you said makes sense. Although I have seen many strange things in my life, to be honest, I don't believe that there are invisible invisible bridges, but I believe that the abyss in front of us is a bridge... a scare bridge."
Professor Sun immediately retorted: "It's like playing the piano randomly. You can't help but want everyone to walk through the wind. Although the turbulent flow in the mountains can absorb stones, where did it finally be rolled? Have you ever calculated how heavy the self-esteem of us and the equipment we carry? Not to mention one step to reach the sky, if you take a half step, you will fall into a deep ravine. We must be rigorous and pragmatic!"
I shook my head, but I didn't say I wanted to step on the air. Since the words "In front of the soul-scaring platform, the Yin River crosses the sky; the fairy bridge is shadowless, and it is hard to find the naked eye; falling into the rock and sacrificing oneself, one step to reach the sky" are definitely corresponding, and the "t"-shaped canyon in front of the Longmen is a Huashan Road, so I believe there should be a so-called shadowless fairy bridge ahead, but we have to find it.
Shirley Yang said: "The words are good, but even if we find the Shadowless Immortal Bridge, it is hard to say whether we can go there. Have you ever thought that the nameless dead man at the entrance of the tunnel is in a Taoist sect, maybe he was a person who was seeking truth in the previous dynasty. If he couldn't find the way to enter the ancient tomb of Dixian Village, he would just go back the same way. But looking at his way of death, it seemed that he had found the Shadowless Immortal Bridge, but he had no courage to pass, and was unwilling to leave, and finally wandered and died in the tunnel."
After hearing what Shirley Yang said, I immediately remembered that on the front line, many of my comrades were killed and injured by "thunderbolts". The situation was extremely tragic. Many soldiers were not afraid of charging, but were only afraid of those "thunderbolts" that were set up openly and secretly.
As the saying goes, "the soldiers never get tired of deceitful deception", the nameless dead in the tunnel died inexplicably. Apart from a few volumes of Taoist hiding, there is nothing extra to let people see their identity. In the carefully arranged ancient tombs throughout the ages, there are many suspicious formations to prevent theft. Maybe the dead body and Guanshan finger mystery are all "bait", which is the "thunder" that Guanshan Taibao led the tomb robbers to the extreme.
These thoughts linger in my mind, and my intuition that has been wandering on the edge of life and death for many years told me, "These signs are too abnormal, so you must not be careless!"
When I thought of this, I said to Professor Sun and Shirley Yang: "The Shadowless Fairy Bridge may not be difficult to find, but I guess even if I find it, I will have to take huge risks to pass. The question now is, can this risk be taken? What if there is a trap of going without returning? How can we judge whether the mountain-watching puzzle in the tunnel is true or false?"
Mr. Sun Jiu said confidently: "This matter is very easy. As long as you can find a way to make the Shadowless Immortal Bridge appear, with my rich experience in archaeological work for many years, we can naturally verify whether it is true or false. The fake bridge cannot escape my fire-eyed golden spirit. However, looking at the second half of the mountain-watching puzzle, the content is mostly consistent with the results of my investigation. So I believe that as long as there is Shadowless Immortal Bridge, 80% of the stone carvings on the monument are real."
I pondered for a moment, thinking that it was such a reason. It was useless to say something else. Now I should find a way to find the "Shadowless Immortal Bridge". Shirley Yang discussed a few words, but no one could think of a bridge that could not be seen by the naked eye. Shirley Yang speculated that it might have other hidden meanings and it was unknown.
I thought to myself: "Slotting the rocks and sacrificing oneself, and one step to reach the sky. What does it mean to sacrifice yourself? Could it mean to jump into the air with a rock holding a stone?" I had an idea: "No, falling rocks are in front and sacrificing oneself behind. If it means holding the rocks down, it should be to sacrifice yourself. If falling rocks and sacrifice yourself, it may mean to push the rocks first and then you can sacrifice yourself."
I glanced with my eyes and saw that there were many broken rocks of different sizes in the tunnel. I stood like this and thought about it. How could I get the key point? No matter how he fell into the rock, he picked up a big stone and pushed it down to find out. So I asked the fat man for help. The two of them came to the edge of a rock that was several hundred kilograms and pushed it twice first. The huge rock shook slightly, so the material could be pushed.
The rest of the people also came to help. The fat man waved his hand: "Everyone, don't come here, just wait and wait. Hurry up and make a place for Fat Master to come out, don't crush your feet." After that, he loosened the belt twice, because he was worried that he would break the belt with all his strength.
The fat man was determined to show off his power and pushed me aside. I was worried that he would use too much force and be swept away by the turbulent flow along with the rock. That would really become "falling rock to sacrifice himself", so he used the "Flying Tiger Claw" to hang up the load-bearing belt on his shoulder and pulled it back with the other three people to protect it.
The fat man rolled up his sleeves, spitted two saliva in his palm, pulled the lunge, pressed the giant rock with his shoulders, took a deep breath, moved it in his dantian, shaking his body of healthy meat, and thunderously shouted: "Open it!"
I saw the big rock fall forward. Due to its huge weight, it is close to the exit of the tunnel. It is not absorbed by the turbulent current in front of the "dragon gate", hitting the cliff and rolling down the deep rift full of fog.
Because the two sides of the mountain stream were very close, the rocks rolled and fell down, colliding back and forth between the cliffs, making a dull echo of rumbling. At the entrance of the tunnel, we only felt that the canyon was unfathomable, and we didn't hear the sound of the huge rocks falling to the ground for a long time.
Everyone saw the fat man pushing the mountain rock down, but there was no invisible bridge in front of the "Scaring Soul Platform" and there was no abnormal sign. They couldn't help but feel a little depressed. Just as they were about to fail to do another plan, they suddenly felt a burst of noisy movement in their ears.
At this time, the mountain rocks had not yet landed. In addition to the endless echoes on the mountain walls, there seemed to be thousands of pots of hot water boiling at the same time. Then the sound of boiling water turned into a noise like fried salt beans, which made people's ear bones feel a little painful. I thought to myself: "What should I do if the rocks fall into trouble, what should I do?"
Professor Sun and his youngest girl were also frightened by the noisy and dense noise. They couldn't help but take two steps back. Shirley Yang blocked the golden steel umbrella in front of them and said, "Don't panic, I'm afraid the shadowless fairy bridge has come out."
The complex and dense sound in my ears suddenly became tight. It felt like I was standing in front of the gate of hell, facing countless evil ghosts who escaped from the underworld, which was shocked and shocked. I took back the "Flying Tiger Claw" and handed it back to Shirley Yang's hand. Then I secretly held the engineer shovel tightly, feeling extremely uneasy: "Can the fairy bridge in front of the scare platform be built by the ghost soldiers? The arrangement of the ancient tomb of Dixian Village is indeed a god that even the immortals can't guess it..."
The fat man also changed color on his face, pulled apart the rack, held the beads and aimed it in the air. No matter what it came up, he shot it dozens of armor-transparent cones first.
Just as everyone was worried and afraid, a stream of black smoke suddenly rushed into the sky from the bottom of the valley. I was shocked and unexpectedly shouted, "What is this?" After looking carefully, I felt that even my eyes were almost blurred. It turned out to be countless golden silk swifts the size of a palm. After being frightened, they flew out from the bottom of the cliff and were immediately wrapped in turbulences in the canyon, mixed in groups, with a dazzling number of people, probably no less than 100,000.
Golden Wire Swifts are good at nesting between cliffs and cliffs, and they are clustered creatures. Most of them can have hundreds of thousands of golden Wire Swifts in a golden Wire Swift cave. The golden Wire Swift bird's nest condensed with saliva is extremely precious. Since most golden Wire Swift caves are located in dangerous places in the terrain, people who pick golden Wire Swift bird's nests must be able to climb rocks and climb highs, and the risks and rewards they pay are very high.
It turned out that there were many caves built by golden swifts nesting on the cliff at the bottom of the "Scaring Soul Platform". The rocks pushed down by the fat man shocked a large group of golden swifts to emerge from the nest. Swifts are commonly known as "Wind Ding" among the people. They are best at flying with the wind. There are even legends that they can sleep in the wind, and they are astonishingly fast as lightning. At this moment, tens of thousands of flying swallows soared into the sky. When they arrived at the mouth of the gorge, they were immediately swept by the invisible airflow of the "yin river".
The golden-wire swift swifts gathered in a group of flowers, and were swept into a ball by the vortex. They were absorbed in the wind for a moment and could not escape. The swallows were so dense that they almost disappeared. More swift groups flew up from the bottom of the gorge and continued to join the swallow formation.
The airflow that originally gathered from the deep gorges on three sides was immediately blocked by a large group of golden swifts. The invisible "yin River" across the sky was filled in an instant, and tens of thousands of swallows were blocked by the turbulent flowing from several directions, filling the area in front of the dragon gate of the "t" shape canyon, forming an incredible "swallow bridge".
I took a breath of air: "It turns out that the Shadowless Fairy Bridge... is made of a large group of golden swifts!" I saw the tens of thousands of golden swifts flying and entangled in front of me, as if they were still frozen in the wind. It was so simplistic that it was hard to believe the wonders seen in my eyes.
But I know that this wonder can only last for a short moment. As the golden silk swifts surge out of the cliffs and caves gather more and more, the swallows will soon be able to break through the turbulent flow and flew with the wind, and the "Shadowless Fairy Bridge" will become shadowless again.
I want to wait until all the golden swifts return to their nests and form a bridge again. I don’t know how much time it takes to sacrifice my life and death, and then I have to leave my life behind and step onto this "swallow bridge" and step on the flying swallows and break through the "dragon gate" in front of the ancient cemetery of Wuyang King.
I don’t know if the golden swift swifts can be strong enough. If you want to cross this bridge, it is like flying across the waves. You will fall into the abyss with one foot. The dragon gate opposite the bridge is unpredictable. Once you pass the "Shenxian Bridge", you will definitely not be able to retreat within a short while. Is the "Shanxi Fingering the Mountain" left by the earth immortal reliable?
Philosophers say that "character determines destiny", because character controls the various choices on the road of life, and can also be understood as "life is composed of countless choices". I have always been willing to do things, but if I want to make it easier, I have to feel that I have more than 30% of the confidence. Now I don't even have half the confidence. It's not that I dare not cross the bridge, but I worry about whether I will fall into a trap after crossing the bridge.
These thoughts flashed in my mind, but now the situation is unbearable. I glanced at the people around me and wanted to see what they had to think about it, whether they needed to stay as motionless as a mountain, and wait for a day and a half, and it would not be too late to go there after waiting for a day and a half.
The fat man on the side was trembling with his heart and cursed: "What an old monster who is watching the mountain tomb robbers. He is probably separated from his lover for many years. Otherwise, how could he play this trick of building a magpie bridge on the seventh day of the seventh month? How could this bird bridge be left for people?"
Professor Sun was overjoyed and shouted, "This is a miraculous immortal bridge. Fatty Wang, don't you and Hu Bayi always boast about your real man who dares to do everything? Why? Are you afraid now? This is a dangerous step to reach the sky, just walk with the courage. The dragon bone hexagram is right in front of you, and the Golden Swallow Bridge will be scattered at any time. We must cross the bridge quickly!"
The fat man grabbed Professor Sun: "What kind of man is a real man? When he gets on the bridge, he will fall down and fall into a stinky bean! Fatty, I..." Before he finished speaking, he suddenly stepped out and stepped onto the "fairy bridge" made of golden silk swifts. The turbulent flow in the mountain stream made him tilt. He seemed to want to struggle to stand up from the pile of swallows, but his hands and feet fell immediately, and turned toward the front of the golden silk swift bridge.
I know that fat man has always had acrophobia. His phobia is a psychological disorder. In fact, there is no special reaction. He is just weak legs and dizzy eyes. Sometimes he can overcome it under specific material conditions. He drinks medicine to sleep when he is on the plane. In my opinion, this is not a big deal, but I never expected that he would rush to the Swallow Bridge first. This is too inconsistent with his style. I lacked enough mental preparation for this and didn't even have time to reach out to stop him.
But I immediately realized that it was impossible to pull him back. Now that things have come, I have to "shoulder side by side" together. At least I can't let him "break" across the opposite side alone. I shouted to everyone: "Don't be afraid, this bridge is so strong that everyone can cross the bridge!"
In the noisy swallow cry, I grabbed Professor Sun, shirley Yang grabbed Xiaomei'er, and the four of them jumped to the bridge. All they could hear was the sound of whimpering wind. In an instant, they were sucked by the airflow. The body seemed to be in a state of weightlessness, and they could not use any force under their feet, and they fell forward involuntarily.
