Chapter 471 Hengfa
"Master Hengfa, how did you become a monk?" After this period of training, Zhou Zhi's physical strength has improved greatly, and he can now keep up: "You are a mountain pharmacist. Craftsmanship is different from chanting and meditating!”
Hengfa is a middle-aged monk. Now not only him, but also Zhou Zhi and Master Qian are wearing gray coarse cloth shorts and monk pants. , Jiefang shoes. His hands and feet were tied with wristbands, looking like a martial monk.
This is what Hengfa requires. Adventure in the mountains is no ordinary joke.
Hengfa smiled and said: "My family was originally a pharmacist in Erli Township. When I was a child, I loved to get sick. My parents couldn't cure me, so I had to give it to the temple early. In my father's words , this is the natural death star who is here to destroy the family’s sign and cannot keep it.”
"The strange thing is that when I got to the temple, there was nothing wrong with me!"
"This is really strange." Zhou Zhi said with a smile.
“To use what my father advised my mother to say, it is that I was destined by the Buddha to serve at Dharma King Temple, and I just passed them by once.”
“Previous How come I haven’t seen you, Master, for how many days?”
“My parents are old, and I often go back to visit my hometown in the mountains in Qianzhou, and it takes many days to go back and forth. ”
"That's what it should be. Even the eminent monk who said, 'The branches are full of flowers, the heart of the sky is full of moon,' would only dare to say, 'Besides parents, there is no harm to anyone else.'"
"Those are all powerful people. To tell the truth, I am just a collector of herbs in the mountains. I just changed my life in a different place."
"Master Hengfa, your knowledge is extraordinary. Ordinary practitioners cannot reach this level... "
"Hahaha, this is nonsense. I really just collect herbs in the mountains, and I just became a family..." Hengfa thought for a while: "Or the other way around. ..."
A few people were walking out of the forest while they were joking. Mr. Qiao pointed at the Yadan stone wall opposite: "Here we are, Guanyin Cliff!"
Guanyin Cliff is located between a platform composed of large cliffs and small cliffs. To get there, you obviously have to rappel and then cross a valley to the other side.
Zhou Zhi raised his telescope to observe the opposite side. This thing is a military product of the former Soviet Union. Now the Northeastern gangsters have begun to show their power. Zhou Zhi entrusted Yu Sange to buy a lot of military products from Guangzhou.
There are obvious artificial traces on the cliff opposite. It used to be a natural stone platform, and there was a weathered horizontal crack at the connection between the stone platform and the cliff.
Later, the crack was artificially enlarged, and the stones that expanded the crack were used to build the edge stone railings of the platform and the walls that divided and closed the crack.
“The place is a good place, but it’s too eye-catching.” After observing, Zhou Zhi still felt he didn’t have much confidence: “Master Hengfa, have you been there?”
"I'm a pharmacist." Hengfa also looked at the opposite side: "I know there is this realm, but I have never been there. At most, it's just a bit of a country bumpkin and a luminous sand. It's not worth the trip."
"You Not curious at all?”
“If you are curious? If you want to trade your life... then I'm not curious at all."
"Well, this statement..."
"There are a lot of weird things in the mountains. They are all curious, ten lives are not enough..."
Isn’t it said that all pharmacists who enter the mountains are superstitious? If you become a monk and a pharmacist, you will be blessed by the Buddha, so there is no need for taboos? !
Just as Zhou Zhi was complaining, Hengfa had already put down the rope, took out the buckle made by Zhou Zhi and hung it on the rope. He was still muttering: "Who came up with this thing? It really works. ..."
The pharmacist has his own set of rappelling equipment. Zhou Zhi went to Hengfa's room and saw it. It was a bow-shaped green-gang wood tool. It was very big, as thick as a shoulder pole, and had been wrapped in it. A layer of transparent varnish-like patina.
“If you like to wait until we get back, I’ll leave this set of things to you.” Zhou Zhi smiled.
In addition to downhill clips, there are also a series of tools such as straight knives, marching kettles, small pots, etc. Hengfa has taught Zhou Zhi and Master Qiao many survival skills in the forest in the past few days. Zhou Zhi believes that he There should be something in return.
Hengfa wanted to push back but was reluctant, and smiled honestly: "I'll go down first, the elbow later, and the wood last." He has done downhill several times, and it's not difficult for Zhou Zhi and Master Qiao now. After descending to the bottom of the cliff and crossing a clear stream, Hengfa led the two of them towards Guanyin Cliff.
It looked like it was not far away, but the hillside was actually quite difficult to climb. Hengfa took out his machete and opened a road ahead. He walked on the zigzag route and it took him two hours to reach it. The bottom of Guanyin Cliff.
The name Guanyin Cliff comes from the fact that the small cliff right in front of the big cliff looks like the standing Guanyin statue in Buddhist murals.
The most convenient way to go up the cliff is naturally the gap carved by the stream formed by the rainwater where the two cliffs meet.
The gap has a certain depth, and the bottom is quite open. When people get here, they immediately feel cool and quite comfortable.
Heng Fa put the rope diagonally across his body: "I'll go up first, and you go collect the firewood first. When the rope is dropped, you tie up the firewood."
Zhou Zhi looked up, The top of Guanyin Cliff cannot be seen in the gap: "Tonight we "Live up there?"
"Of course." Hengfa smiled: "It's hot and humid in the forest. It's not as comfortable as up there." Carrying a bundle of firewood back to the bottom of the cliff, a rope had been thrown down from above.
Zhou Zhi stretched out his hand and tried to pull the rope: "Master! Have you arrived yet -"
Heng Fa's voice came down from above: "Tie the firewood to the rope, I will drag it up first -"< br>
When the two bundles of firewood were dragged up, Hengfa’s voice The voice came again: "You can come up, one by one, this time the wood comes first -"
Such a chimney-shaped passage is the most convenient way to climb the cliff in rock climbing, and it is protected by buckles. Safety, even if it is a cliff more than ten stories high, is not a problem.
At least for Zhou Zhi and Mr. Qiao, who are used to the excitement of the steel pipe bridge on the Hongshui River, it is a trivial matter.
The climbing knot is a slip knot that is wrapped around a buckle. Because the knot is so cleverly tied, the buckle can move up but is difficult to move down.
Every time he climbs a section, Mr. Qiao will find a place to fix himself on the cliff with his legs, and adjust the position of the buckle on the rope to prevent falling.
Just like that, he disappeared step by step from Zhou Zhi’s sight.
After another half an hour, a piece of wood was thrown down from the crack passage, hitting the stone walls on both sides back and forth, making a popping sound.
Following the stepbrother’s voice came down from above: “Elbow, you can come up now——”
Zhou Zhi shouted from below: “Have you found anything up there——”
“Come up and see for yourself——”
“Do you want to bring anything else up——”
“ The potatoes in the basket, and the sweet potatoes dug yesterday -" This is Hengfa's voice: "The pot, salt and oil, first put a bag and hoist it up -"
"I'm going to open the pot tonight no matter what. Canned—" Zhou Zhi defended angrily.
"It's up to you——"
