Umbrella Travel to the Heavens

Chapter 8 Desperation

That day, the middle-aged Taoist priest with horse face talked about many unreachable places, such as Wudang Martial Arts Training Ground, Cangshu Pavilion, Zhenwu Hall, etc., but he didn't make any demands on Houshan alone.

After all, there is nothing but high cliffs and chaotic forests there, and Li Xiu has no interest in anything except the back mountain.

The back mountain of Wudang is not small, but in terms of cliffs, there are not many places at all, and if the bottom of the cliff is not the kind that is isolated from the outside world, there may be even fewer.

Fast forward more than ten days, besides having roughly determined the location of the cliff where Fireworker Toutuo jumped, Li Xiu had other unexpected gains.

On the way to deliver firewood to Wudang, Li Xiu accidentally met Zhang Wuji a few times, either passing by or seeing him from a distance.

Apart from his appearance being somewhat similar to a modern Kung Fu superstar, it is also easy to recognize. The entire Wudang School Wudang disciples, except for Song Qingshu and Zhang Wuji, are cloth shoes and Taoist robes.

As for the difference between Zhang Wuji and Song Qingshu, it couldn't be clearer.

Perhaps due to suffering from the cold and poison day and night and harboring a great hatred in his heart, Zhang Wuji, who has grown up, looks honest and kind-hearted, and his face and brows are often shrouded in sadness.

When Li Xiu saw Zhang Wuji a few times, he was either wandering around lonely and unbearably, or watching the Wudang disciples performing martial arts with a depressed and envious look on the side of the martial arts arena.

At this time, no one in Wudang would have imagined that the son of Zhang Cuishan, who is too weak to practice martial arts due to cold and poison, will become a world-renowned demon sect in just a short time. The teacher advocates no taboo.

Of course, that meant that Li Xiu didn't do anything to let things go smoothly, and how could he let go of such a one-step fortune.

Even if Zhang Wuji is the son of the world protected by the so-called luck and fate, it is impossible to justify the opportunity before Li Xiu if he does not grab it and fight for it.

A person's life is only a hundred years in a hurry. How many times can there be great fortunes like this that can change the future life. Since he met Li Xiu, even if he crushed his finger bones, he would firmly seize this chance

As for the original protagonist Zhang Wuji without the rising foundation of Jiuyang Shengong, Li Xiu never thought about it. He is now a pure egoist and doesn't think about anything else.

After meeting Zhang Wuji in Wudang, Li Xiu inquired around Wudang's kitchen and found out that Wudang hadn't had any guests recently, that is to say, Zhou Zhiruo hadn't been ordered by his master to come to Wudang to retrieve the Yitian Sword.

It may be some time before Zhang Wuji and Xiao Zhao are knocked off the cliff, but Li Xiu doesn't know whether this time is short or long.

So in order to avoid long nights and dreams, Li Xiu decided to start early.

One morning, after Li Xiu, who was dressed in rough cloth, delivered the firewood as usual, no one specially sent him to let him go, so he came to a high cliff in the back mountain of Wudang secretly.

Li Xiu stood up and looked carefully at the bottom of the cliff. Although it was daytime, there were vines and weeds growing underneath, entangled with each other and blocking most of the bottom of the cliff. It was too dark to see clearly.

Withdrawing his gaze, Li Xiu took a deep breath to calm his overly violent heartbeat, and then showed a trace of helplessness on his face.

To be honest, Li Xiu had a slight fear of heights, and it would be difficult for ordinary people to jump off a cliff, let alone him.

But at this time, letting him give up and retreat is the real "difficulty" for him, and without thinking too much, Li Xiu calmed down and began to prepare before jumping off the cliff.

Lie down slowly, and parted a large clump of weeds a dozen inches below the edge of the cliff, and three triangular iron nails leaked out. The nail heads were the size of a baby's fist, and they were nailed several inches deep into the cliff.

Looking at the three iron nails, Li Xiu could still vaguely recall the scene where he smashed them in with the back of the ax at the bottom of the cliff with his sweaty face a few days ago. It was really bitter that only he knew.

Then he unwrapped the thick hemp rope that was wrapped around the iron nails. One end of the hemp rope was firmly tied to the three iron nails round and round, and Li Xiu fished out the other end and tied it around his waist. for several laps.

He stood up and checked again, then slowly lay down along the edge of the cliff until only half of his body was still on the edge.

Without looking down again, he knew that the more he looked, the worse it would be, so Li Xiu let go of the edge of the cliff and clung tightly to the hemp rope.

After a very short period of falling and weightlessness, Li Xiu breathed a sigh of relief as the rope in his hand tightened and his body stopped.

He couldn't be careless about his own life and death. The vendor who sold him the hemp rope told him that the hemp rope would not break even if it was two bulls fighting.

Li Xiu cautiously tried it with the same hemp rope before, but luckily the chain didn't fall off this time.

Along the rock wall, Li Xiu began to loosen the rope section by section to send himself down.

Try to adjust your breathing to stabilize your heartbeat, and step on the convex stone on the rock wall to take a rest when your strength is weak.

Ten minutes passed like this, and when Li Xiu gradually looked down again, he was very close to the place where the vines were most lush, and he could vaguely see the bottom of the cliff.

After finding a protruding rock, Li Xiu began to untie the hemp rope around his waist, looking for the place where the nearby vines were twisted and knotted.

This cliff must be jumped off, or else Fireworker Toutuo would doubt it no matter how stupid he is.

Jumping here must be inevitable, although the fall is inevitable, but at least with the buffer of the vines, there is no possibility of immediate death.

It's useless to think too much, took a deep breath, and jumped fiercely towards the vine.

In an instant, there was a pain in the abdomen, and before Li Xiu could react, there were several severe pains that were almost indistinguishable, as if there were thick whips hitting him.

The fall was fast and urgent, and the weightlessness and the reaction force of hitting the vines made him unable to control his body freely.

In the blink of an eye, Li Xiu could only pray in his heart that his head should not fall to the ground first.

"Peng!!"

A large cloud of dust was stirred up and scattered away, and there was an extra figure on the ground.

Li Xiu curled up on the ground like a boiled prawn, his face was flushed, and his neck was bulging.

A cry of pain from deep in the throat was followed by intense, rapid breathing.

After several seconds, Li Xiu began to try to move his body and stand up.

This movement made me feel like my whole body was falling apart.

There was excruciating pain everywhere, especially the ribs, as if someone had made several big holes in his chest.

"Hiss!"

Li Xiu tried to stand up but couldn't stand up, which affected his chest and abdomen injuries, so he couldn't help but gasped.

He had no choice but to move his body carefully, leaning against a few rocks and sitting up, assessing his injuries while waiting for the fireworker Toutuo to arrive.

Li Xiu couldn't help but let out a wry smile. Although there was no particularly unlucky head landing just now, it was also a tragic predecessor.

It was certain that the ribs were broken, but Li Xiu couldn't feel how many were broken, and his internal organs must have been injured. In short, his current state is very bad.

There is obviously no doctor at the bottom of the cliff, and even if there is a healing herb, Li Xiu doesn't know how to use it.

If Huo Gong Toutuo couldn't be fooled that he wouldn't get the Nine Suns Divine Art, his injury would probably worsen in a few days.

But it wasn't too bad, at least Li Xiu was mentally prepared for what would happen after falling off the cliff.

And the injuries on his body are not all good, at least it can give Fireworker Toutuo a reason to threaten him, and then we can start.

Then it was time to put all their eggs in one basket to deceive Fireworker Toutuo, success or failure, life or death depended on it.
