We moved forward cautiously. Fortunately, the rope bridge was not as long as we imagined. After walking for about a while, we could gradually see the outline of the other side of the bridge.
There seems to be a cliff, and to the west, it looks like a gloomy coffin being prepared to contain people.
I called Lao Jiang: "Master!"
Lao Jiang had obviously seen what was happening on the other side, but he did not tell us to stop. Instead, he continued to walk in front of us with a steady pace.
Everyone finally got off the rope bridge carefully. After getting off the bridge, they discovered that there were high cliffs on both sides, and there were shallow white lines across the mountain.
Lao Jiang told us: "That is a plank road that was carved out manually with hammer after hammer!"
At this moment, an ancient poem appeared in front of my eyes: "There is a bird path in Taibai, Xidang, which can cross the top of Emei. The earth collapses and the mountains destroy the strong men to death, and then the stone stacks of the ladder to the sky are connected."
This is exactly from Li Bai's "The Road to Shu is Difficult".
Unexpectedly, the difficult and dangerous living environment in "The Road to Shu" is actually real, and people really can live in such a place.
So, were these plank roads built by the ancient Shu people?
Or the mysterious mountain guardians from that generation?
This narrow plank road is like a white snowflake snake entrenched on Wawu Mountain, leading to the sky.
There is no other way in front of us, but this road is too narrow, only as wide as the sole of an adult male's foot. If we walk up it, we can only stick to the cliff and move forward step by step without even taking a deep breath.
No matter how reluctant Yin Ling'er was, she could only get off of me.
Otherwise, if I carried her on my back, I would definitely fall down and be shattered into pieces after just a few steps...
"Uncle Jiang, can I not go to Wawu Mountain?" By now, Yin Ling'er had already backed down.
Let alone her, even I am a little afraid of the bird in front of me.
Lao Jiang frowned, with a sad look on his face, as if even he couldn't make up his mind.
Unlike us who were uneasy, Ge Weihan was extremely excited, and his face was filled with unprecedented excitement.
Facing the narrow plank road and the towering cliff, Ge Weihan actually exclaimed: "Amazing! Even God can't create your Chinese miracle, Xichuan, you, will, astonish, the, world!!!"
I understood what he meant, which was that it was so amazing and so shocking.
The sun has gradually risen, and the afterglow of the morning sun shines on the plank road under your feet, like a road leading to hell.
Suddenly, we don’t know where to go?
This is the first time I have seen a real Sichuan-Sichuan plank road, or it may be more appropriately described as a 'bird path'. It is so incredibly narrow that perhaps only birds can fly across it safely.
Of course, slender reptiles should be fine too.
I squinted my eyes and looked into the distance, but I saw the bird path hovering on the mountain peaks, stretching endlessly with no end in sight.
The endless peaks leaning against the sky are like swords, which makes people feel a biting chill.
At this critical moment, Ge Weihan took out his notebook first, regardless of the danger at his feet.
While sketching the bird path in front of me.
While excitedly reciting Li Bai's poem: "Xidang Taibai has a bird path that can cross the top of Emei."
"Immortal Banban, I never expected that the bird path I have been looking for for decades is not in Mount Emei, but here!"
Ge Weihan issued various Sichuan-style quintessences, completely immersed in the great discovery in front of him, and did not realize that the crisis was quietly approaching.
In stark contrast to Ge Weihan's excited look, Yin Ling'er once walked out of the Shiwan Mountain alive with bones covered with bones, but she shivered at the bird path in the tile-roofed mountain in front of her.
"The majestic little princess of the Miao border is not afraid of hundreds of thousands of mountains, but is she frightened by such a small road?"
I deliberately teased Yin Linger, trying to stimulate her desire to win.
Unexpectedly, Yin Ling'er didn't take this trick at all, and replied with a flat mouth: "There are bugs there, they are all my little friends, what should I be afraid of? And here... Huh, Uncle Jiang, look at it, it's so narrow The road doesn’t even have guardrails. If it falls through, the cutest little princess in Miao will be dead, and the most beautiful girl in Qilin will be gone too. Are you willing to bear it?”
Seeing Lao Jiang's frown getting deeper and deeper, Yin Ling'er let out a squeaky sound and said, "My feet hurt, oooh."
"How about you stay here first, or retreat to a safe location, and I'll come find you again after the matter is done!"
Lao Jiang pondered for a moment and gave this answer.
Yin Ling'er's face turned red with anger. She didn't expect Lao Jiang's determination to be so deep, but now that we have come to this point, the arrow is on the string and we have to shoot. There is no way back at all.
What's more, from the moment he stepped into Wawu Mountain, Lao Jiang might not have considered going back alive.
This is Qilin’s mission!
It is also his fate!
Yin Ling'er turned her eyes for help to Ge Weihan again. Not to mention Ge Weihan, he had studied Sichuan and Sichuan culture for half his life. Climbing Wawu Mountain was his life-long dream. If he went back now, he would die in peace.
Yin Ling'er finally looked at me, and my eyes fell on the bird path: "Thousands of years ago, what method did the ancients use to overcome the dangers of the mountains and carve out such a miraculous road? ?”
"You have to remember that there were no advanced tools at that time."
And how many people died here in order to open up this road?
They have guarded Wawu Mountain for generations and guarded the Tsing Yi God in their hearts, both before and after death.
Thinking of this, I am no longer afraid of the bird path, but feel a deep sense of awe!
After making up our mind to go to the bird path, Lao Jiang asked us if we were ready?
Then he pulled out the rope and continued to act as the vanguard of the death squad!
The second candidate is Yin Ling'er. After all, her ankle has been injured. If something happens, Lao Jiang and I can pull her up immediately with our quick eyesight and quick hands.
Ge Weihan still stood at the end of the team. After discussing the order, Ge Weihan took out the Mountaineering Flying Tiger Claw from his bag.
Being experienced, he seemed to have anticipated the rock climbing situation.
So I specially prepared flying tiger claws before I came. This thing was imported from Germany and made entirely of fine steel. As long as there is a gap in the cliff, the sharp claws can firmly hook it!
With it, our chances of successfully crossing the bird path can be said to have increased by fifty percent!
"Uncle Bearded, I dare you to wait for this road to appear on the mountain." Yin Ling'er looked at Ge Weihan who was inexplicably excited, with an incomprehensible look on his face.
Ge Weihan smiled sheepishly: "In your Chinese words, be prepared and be prepared!"
