"What can you do?" Tang Zhong asked.
"I can use tree bark to weave a rope. My uncle once taught me." Wang Ruobin said.
"Oh! This is the best." Tang Zhong said, and he and the others used their weapons to pull off a lot of bark, and then quickly woven it into a bark rope.
Wang Ruobin had been running boats and doing business on the canal with his uncle Wang Rongfu, so he naturally learned many skills from his uncle. At this time, he was skilled in his skills and with the help of others, he quickly woven a bark rope and connected them together to form a long hemp rope.
"You know a lot, kid!" Long Fuzhang couldn't help but praise with a smile.
"Ha! It was all taught by my uncle." Wang Ruobin said blankly.
"Ananda, can you go up alone?" Tang Zhong asked slightly worriedly.
"It's okay! It's just that after I go up, you need to be careful below. Although I haven't found anything here yet, it seems that the yin energy is very strong, so you have to be careful." Ananda glanced around and felt There seemed to be many nameless eyes around, looking at them. But when he was picking the bark just now, he had looked around and found nothing.
"Of course I know this, you should be careful!" Tang Zhong also warned.
"OK."
Ananda said, hanging the long bark rope around his body, then leaped up and reached the cliff. After he temporarily found a foothold on the cliff, he tied the bark rope to a stable fulcrum, either a protruding rock or a tree root. Then, he relaxed the long rope and continued up the cliff.
He knew that his skills were insufficient and he could not finish the exercise in one breath, and there would be many pauses in between. So every time he reached one, he tied the bark rope to a fulcrum, so that even if he missed it and fell, he would not fall to his death. Every time he found a fulcrum and tied the rope, he continued to move forward with Qinggong. Twice, due to unstable rocks, he lost his hand. Fortunately, he had a tree rope to hang him in the middle of the cliff and saved his life.
He himself was also shocked. After coming to his senses, he continued to jump towards the cliff.
However, his two misses still shocked Tang Zhong and others. Finally, when I saw him hanging in the middle of the bark rope, I felt relieved and finally understood the true purpose of the bark rope. Because he was not strong enough, the rope was only used to save his life. Otherwise, no matter how brave he was, he would not dare to go up the cliff alone.
Ananda jumped up the cliff a few times, and everyone could only see a small black shadow, which became increasingly blurry.
After Ananda failed twice, he finally gained experience. After that, it became more and more smooth. After many twists and turns, he finally climbed up the cliff.
After Ananda came up, he left the tree rope here because he would still need it when he went down the cliff.
Although the top of the cliff is flat and not too big, it is full of strange rocks and overgrown with weeds.
Ananda was just about to walk towards the center of the cliff when he seemed to hear someone's voice in the middle, but the voice was extremely vague and could not be heard clearly at all. So Ananda had no choice but to hide behind the strange rocks, and then lean towards the center of the cliff top. Although the top of the cliff is not big, it is only about ten acres of land. However, except for the flat land in the middle, there are many strange rocks around, which are actually easy to hide. It was here that Master Mei Yun jumped off the cliff from this strange rock.
Ananda came closer, just to hear what these were saying.
"Second Junior Sister, you have been living a good life these years. Do you dare to disobey Master?" said a middle-aged man with a slightly Japanese tone.
"Why did Senior Brother say this? Aren't all of Junior Sister's actions in recent years done in accordance with Master's instructions?" a woman answered.
"What you said is indeed correct at first glance. However, Master asked me to ask you, how do you explain what happened during the day?" the man asked.
"What happened during the day?" The woman pretended not to know.
Ananda could vaguely see that the man who spoke was a middle-aged Japanese man, but this woman seemed to be an extremely young girl. In terms of age, she was almost the same size as the daughter of a man from the Central Plains. Ananda really couldn't think of why he was the middle-aged man's junior sister?
"Stop pretending, what is Master referring to as the leader of the Central Plains Martial Arts Alliance?" the middle-aged man said with a hint of anger.
"The Central Plains Martial Arts Alliance Leader, the Central Plains Martial Arts Alliance, when did the Central Plains Martial Arts Alliance have a leader, how come Junior Sister didn't know about it?" The woman continued to act weird.
"You! What happened to the fight against the leader of the Japanese Ming Alliance? How did it fall into Sheng Xiao'er's hands?" It seems that this man obviously has great opinions on Sheng Zhiqiang, the leader of the temple.
"Senior brother is referring to this matter! Junior sister is just a role, responsible for inquiring about information. How can junior sister influence such a big event in the Central Plains martial arts world?" The woman seemed to be telling the truth.
Because Ananda heard that this girl was very young and indeed did not have the ability to influence the martial arts in the Central Plains.
"Stop talking nonsense. Without you, could Sheng Xiao'er be where he is today? You'd better tell the truth and let your senior brother go back and have an explanation with the master. Then we can live in peace." Although the man was very angry, he seemed to take advantage of the woman. There is no way.
"Okay! Then junior sister, please tell me clearly! Senior brother should leave this matter alone. Junior sister will naturally explain to the master when she sees him." The woman said coldly.
"You don't take Master seriously?" The man from the Central Plains gritted his teeth in anger.
"Haha! Master is the person that junior sister respects the most. I just don't take you, senior brother Matsuno-kun, seriously." The young woman said and immediately burst into laughter.
"Dead Water Fairy, don't be so arrogant. Don't think that you have been acting alone for many years, but you can be lawless and no one can control you. Today, senior brother is taking the place of master to discipline you, a disrespectful woman." Matsuno said, and the Japanese pirates immediately took action. A knife struck at the Dead Water Fairy.
Ananda heard at this moment that these two people were actually the leader of the Japanese pirates, Songye, the eldest disciple of the Huoxie Sect, and his second disciple, Dead Water Fairy. I have never seen this Matsuno Ananda before, and I only know that he is a Japanese. But the figure of the Dead Water Fairy seemed very familiar to Ananda, as if he knew her. But Ananda couldn't understand why these two Japanese pirates actually fought?
Matsuno's sword skills are very sharp, and he is quite good at Qimen Dunjia. His martial arts are actually somewhat similar to Mutengzuo's, but they seem even weirder.
When the Dead Water Fairy saw this, she opened her fingers with her palms. On each finger, there was a small bell. These bells are the same size, but the sounds they make are slightly different. I saw the Dead Water Fairy swaying her fingers and immediately emitting different ringtones. The bell rang, and a sudden movement occurred below the flat ground on the top of the cliff, and then several people broke out and rushed towards the Dead Water Fairy.
"It turns out that you had an ambush for a long time. No wonder you invited me here?" Matsuno held a Japanese sword in his hand and seemed to realize at this moment that he seemed to have fallen into a trap.
Ananda took a closer look and saw that there were exactly ten people emerging from the ground, and they happened to be controlled by the ten bells in the hands of the Dead Water Fairy.
"You must not have the intention of harming others, and you must not have the intention of being defensive." The Dead Water Fairy replied.
"Do you think ten water ghosts can deal with senior brother?" Matsuno said disdainfully, and then he flew a sword, and the sword energy filled the sky, followed by two water ghosts who fell to the ground in response, having been cut down by the sword energy.
"What a domineering sword spirit. If it were me, I wouldn't be able to defeat him." Ananda said to himself.
Seeing this, the dead water fairy continued to ring the bell, and the other eight people rushed towards Matsuno at the same time, but their fingers were like knives, sharp and ruthless, and they could compete with Matsuno's Japanese sword. Those eight people cooperated very well and surrounded Matsuno so tightly that Matsuno was unable to break out for a while.
"Look at my sword energy!" Before Matsuno could finish his words, four more water ghosts were stabbed and fell to the ground at the same time. Matsuno advanced step by step, followed by another blow, and the other four water rebels were also slashed by the force of the knife.
But Ananda saw that all these water ghosts were stabbed, but none of them bled.
Matsuno did not expect to be so relaxed, and followed a sword attack towards the Dead Water Fairy. The Dead Water Fairy did not fight hard, but flew back. She just dodged Matsuno's sword, and the sword's energy hit the hard rock, causing sparks to fly everywhere.
"Miss Hong! Why is it her? How can she be the Dead Water Fairy? This is wrong! It's impossible!" The moment the Dead Water Fairy turned around to avoid the sword energy, Ananda actually recognized the Dead Water Fairy.
This dead water fairy turned out to be the daughter of the prefect, Lord Hong Yinghong, the eldest lady of the Hong Mansion. Therefore, when Ananda saw clearly the identity of this dead water fairy, he had a lot of doubts.
The Dead Water Fairy avoided Matsuno's sword, and the bell sounded again. The water ghosts who had been knocked down by Matsuno just now jumped up immediately, and they seemed to be alive again.
"Hmph! Immortal water ghost, that's what it is!"
Matsuno snorted coldly, and activated his sword technique again, but he stabbed the dead water fairy's fingers, as if to snatch her bell. But the dead water fairy obviously didn't give him a chance. After a few waves, the immortal water ghost pounced on him again. Matsuno turned back and slashed twice. After the two water ghosts were hit by the sword, they only took a step back and then immediately rushed forward again. It turns out that this immortal water ghost is completely different from ordinary water ghosts. This immortal water ghost will become more powerful the more times it is attacked by enemies. As long as the bell on the dead water fairy's hand remains alive, the immortal water ghost will seem to have an immortal body.
The several disciples currently appearing in the Huoxie Sect all have their own characteristics. Senior brother Matsuno is proficient in sword skills, and he is also good at the Five Elements Escape Technique. The Dead Water Fairy has a unique Dead Water Poison that is extremely vicious. It is difficult to resolve and excruciatingly painful. The young disciple Zheng Jing is good at using poisons and controlling walking corpses, and his methods are also extraordinary.
The biggest difference between water ghosts and walking zombies is that water ghosts are still human beings, but they are just people who have been possessed by water ghosts, temporarily lost their humanity, and are controlled by dead water fairies. Therefore, they are killable. But the walking corpses are different. They are inhuman corpses and moving corpses, so they cannot be killed at all.
This is why Zheng Jing's father, Zheng An, was killed several times by the fifth line, but he never died and continued to become a disaster.
At least the other subordinates and disciples of the Fire Evil Sect have not appeared yet, but it can be seen that if he still has subordinates, they will not be so easy to deal with.
