Despite the struggle, the adventurous spirit still prevailed. Take courage and courage, hold the dagger tightly in your hand and continue to move forward.

Fortunately, the pine forest is not big. We quickly passed through the pine forest.

After walking out of the pine forest, the sun was already a bit westward, but it was still very warm on the body. Looking ahead, there was a large sea of ​​rocks. Underfoot, there were countless large dark-brown stones.

They were piled flat to form a sea of ​​stones. And in the center of this sea of ​​stones there stood a huge long stone. This should be the legendary "Tiantian Pillar", right?

I quickly crawled towards it. Because the big rocks under my feet were not evenly arranged together, but were piled up in a jumbled and uneven manner. So it was impossible to move forward by "walking". Basically, I just walked a few steps from this rock.

Then I jumped down and walked a few steps, then climbed up a rock and walked a few steps. Repeatedly climbing up and down, it seemed that the distance was not far, but it was really a waste of energy to climb up. Soon my hands couldn't stand it. Hurry up and get me

Take out your gloves and put them on.

It can be said that after all the hard work, we finally reached the "Box Stone" and came under the "Dingtian Pillar".

It’s so shocking! The power of nature is really amazing! What kind of power can erect such a huge stone that is about 50 to 60 meters high, about 89 meters long, and about 56 meters wide? What’s more, the construction site is so uncanny.

"cut" into such a regular shape? What you see in front of you is only the part that can be seen outside. How big is the part buried underground? It is unknown. I guess this stone weighs tens of thousands of tons.

Right? Could it be that this is the source of inspiration for the "Dinghai Divine Needle" in Journey to the West? However, their "Dinghai Divine Needle" is round, and our "Dinghai Divine Pillar" is rectangular. It seems that they are not from the same family, but can be regarded as "relatives" at best.

Standing under this huge stone, I instantly felt that I was too small, really small, extremely small. It is said that human beings have the habit of "worshiping giant objects", and it is true. I was excited and scared at the same time.

This stone turned around in a circle. I was amazed by it, but I was also afraid that some gravel would fall down and hit me. Because there were already many large and small gravels under its feet. The power of nature is indeed

magic.

You don’t know when it created this wonder. You don’t know when it quietly let this wonder disappear. Anyway, it is also a magical creation of nature, and it stands in front of me quietly and majestically.

.Being able to worship it is also a kind of luck in life.

Quickly bow to it.

The sun is about to set, so we have to hurry up and get down quickly, otherwise we will be in trouble as soon as it gets dark.

Although I started to feel a little anxious, it was indeed very difficult to climb up this "sea of ​​rocks". In addition, the physical exertion in the previous step was too much, so the speed of progress was slower now. When I finally climbed out of the sea of ​​rocks and passed through the pine forest,

, the sky has darkened. The wind is shaking the trees, the pines are roaring, and it is still a little cold and a little scary.

Holding a flashlight in his left hand and a dagger in his right hand, he was actually nervous and sweating. He said silently in his mind: "I borrowed it, I borrowed it, don't blame me, don't blame me."

In the panic, I discovered an inconspicuous path in the pine forest. If it hadn't been dark and my attention was focused on the area illuminated by the flashlight, it would have been difficult to spot this subtle difference. If there is a path, there must be someone there.

After all, it is much better to follow the shallow traces of the road and walk down the mountain than to wander around in the woods.

Unknowingly, I followed this path down the mountain. Once I started walking, I became more courageous and my steps became much lighter. The speed of walking down the mountain was invisibly faster, and I felt like I was running.

After walking through the pine forest, I saw a strange village.

Scattered lights scattered from the scattered low houses. Suddenly the idea of ​​"deserted village" flashed in my mind, and my heart tightened again, and I stopped. I calmed down for a while, and was awakened by the cold wind on the hillside.

.

I feel like this is not an illusion. This is a real village, because I not only saw sporadic lights, but also heard sporadic barking of dogs.

Although I am still a little afraid of dogs, especially open dogs in this mountain village are particularly dangerous. But if I were to bypass the village and travel through the barren mountains and wilderness in this dark night, I would rather take the risk of getting close to the village. Because, in the darkness,

The wilderness is full of mysterious unknowns, and I still feel a little scared. Also, I don’t know how long the battery in the flashlight can last. If there is no power, you will really be blind.

For the sake of safety, I used a dagger to cut and break a pine branch, cut off the excess twigs, and made it into a "dog beating stick" in my hand. I put the dagger in my hand.

I finished drinking the water and ate the steamed buns too late. I stopped and blew. I felt cold, hungry and thirsty. I felt that I was approaching the village quickly along the road.

There were still twenty or thirty meters away, and when I approached a house, suddenly his dog started barking wildly. I could clearly feel it running towards me. At this time, I had two choices. Either

Either run down the mountain, or run towards people's houses.

The choice was made in an instant. I ran towards the house and raised the "dog beating stick" as I ran. About ten meters away from the house, I met the dog in a narrow road. The flashlight shone on the dog.

His eyes reflected two dazzling bright spots.

The dog looked at me fiercely, showing its sharp fangs and growling wildly. Its four legs were stretched tightly. It felt like it would pounce on me and bite me at any time. But why didn't it attack me immediately? I thought, maybe

The light of my flashlight shone on its eyes, temporarily blinding its dog eyes. So it couldn't see me clearly, but its dog nose was very good and could smell my breath.

The roadside where I was standing was a low wall randomly built with stones. I quickly climbed up the low wall and occupied the "commanding heights" from a high position. When I climbed up the stone low wall with my front feet, the dog pounced on me with its hind legs and almost hit me.

The dog bit my heel. I quickly turned around and waved the "dog beating stick" in my hand.

Maybe I was too nervous, maybe I was too confused. When I hit the stick, it didn't hit the dog, but hit the stone. Because of the excessive force, my "dog beating stick" was actually broken, and the tiger's mouth was shaken.

It was painful and numb. I was also frightened and crazy by this crazy dog.

While waving the half-short "dog beating stick" in my hand, I yelled. I was extremely scared, for fear of being bitten by this dog. What if I got rabies? I felt a little bit worried about my hasty adventure.

Regret it.

There was a leak in the house and it rained all night, so the flashlight actually failed at this time. After flashing twice, it turned off. I didn’t know that the light bulb was burned out by flashing, nor did I know that the battery was exhausted.

Yes. It just doesn’t light up anyway.

Just when I'm about to fall into despair.

Several loud scoldings came in succession. The dog that had been attacking me crazily just now suddenly calmed down. In the blur, a dark figure came over. He shouted a few times in Yi language, which I couldn't understand.

What was he yelling? He was probably asking who it was. I quickly replied: "I was passing by here and was stopped by your dog."

Hearing that I was speaking in Chinese, he quickly said in Tuanxiang: "Where are you from? Where are you going so late?"

Me: "I'm from Watang, and I came to the mountain to play. I got lost when I came down to the 'box stone'. I saw the light here, so I came here."

Him: "Oh. Walking at night is very dangerous."

Me: "Is there a way back to Wattang?"

He has."

Thinking that he still didn't know where this place was, he quickly asked him: "Where is this place?"

He: "This is also from Datang Township. We are the fifth group in Heibao Village, the highest group."

Me: "Oh. Heibao Village, is your secretary Secretary Ma?"

Him: "Oh, yes. Do you know Secretary Ma?"

Me: "I know, I know. He was building a river embankment and fort Kaner some time ago. We are friends."

He: "Oh, Secretary Ma's friend, Qu Bo. Come on, I'll take you down the mountain."

Hey, I really didn’t expect that Secretary Ma, whom I met when I was repairing the river embankment, would actually fall in love with him at this time. The old saying goes: Many friends bring many paths. It seems to be true.

He grabbed the dog by the ears and led the dog in front, asking me to follow closely behind him. Soon we reached the front of his house. Then he got the dog into the house and tied it up.

I thought he was going to invite me into the house. But he didn't invite me. Instead, he put something in his mouth and chewed it. While chewing, he walked towards me, and then sprayed the stuff he chewed on me.

on the body.

I was just about to ask him what you were doing. He spoke: "What I chewed just now was garlic. There are ghosts where you went. We usually don't dare to go. So, I won't invite you to sit in the house."

Already."

Me: "Is there any water? Come and give it to me on the hour."

He turned around and went to the house to scoop out a gourd of water for me to drink. He drank half the gourd and handed the gourd to him. He poured the water and handed me something.

"This is the leftover buckwheat buns from the afternoon meal, for you to eat."

I took it and started eating it. While eating, I thanked him. Then I asked him how to get down the mountain. He said: "There is a road in the village that goes down to the mining road below. If you follow the road and go straight down, you can reach Datang.

"

I said, "Please take me to the road."

He: "Okay. Then I picked up a wooden stick from under the house, and then found the sole of a rotten rubber shoe and tied it to the wooden stick."

I asked him puzzledly: "What is this for?"

He said: "Torch. It will light up the road for a while."

He made a torch and used a lighter to light the rotten rubber soles. The plastic burned, emitting thick smoke and fire, as well as a pungent smell. I followed him down the intestine trail to the mine road.

I planned to give him my flashlight, but I didn’t know if it was broken so I was embarrassed to give it to him. I asked him what to call him. I would treat him to a drink when I came to Wattang to attend the event.

He said: "Just call me Ma Muxia."

Saying goodbye to Ma Muxia, I stumbled down the mountain along the road.
Chapter completed!
