Chapter 108 Bottom of the Cliff
To be honest, Xie Yu didn't quite understand the three views of people in this world. Maybe it was because there was no unified dynasty after the Three Kingdoms, or maybe it was because martial arts was so prosperous that personal ability was more important.
People in this world lack some personal restraint, are generally more self-centered, and generally worship the strong. No matter how many people he kills or how many bad things he does, as long as he is strong in martial arts and has a legitimate reason, everyone will forgive him.
This is so strange. It is seriously inconsistent with Xie Yu's outlook on life. Xie Yu has also experienced several martial arts worlds. Xie Yu has been weak and strong, but he will never take away the lives of others easily.
Xie Yu believes that all things are born to nourish people, and there is always a reason for their existence. Since you can take away their lives at will, someone will also take away your life at will.
At this time, Xie Yu's ears moved, and he heard the cry of an eagle in the distance again. Then Xie Yu lay down again and continued to pretend to be dead, but this time he used some turtle breath skills.
There are two biggest threats to Xie Yu in these three days. One is this eagle that has been waiting for Xie Yu's death and is ready to eat Xie Yu's body.
The second is water. Although Xie Yu has a large amount of Yuanjing Qi in his body to maintain the vitality of Xie Yu's body, water is the source of human life.
I am also grateful for the small light spot that can bring some moisture to Xie Yu from the outside world, and can barely maintain Xie Yu's injured body.
Sure enough, the eagle passed by and saw that Xie Yu's body was finally lifeless. Not long after, it quickly swooped down and when the eagle was close to Xie Yu, it was only a few feet away.
According to his own estimation, Xie Yu used his long-accumulated "flicking magical power" to knock out small stones, then quickly turned around and hid in a valley, holding a big stone in each hand.
After being hungry for several days, the eagle wanted to eat Xie Yu, and Xie Yu didn't want to eat the eagle. But now Xie Yu's skills were not good enough, so he could only use secret tricks such as sneak attacks.
However, the big eagle fell headlong onto the cliff. Xie Yu quickly went over to take a look and found out that his "pebble" just hit the eagle's head, and the eagle died on the spot.
Xie Yu felt a little strange. He had clearly aimed at the eagle and its wings just now. It must have been a miscalculation. However, this mistake was good and Xie Yu liked it.
Of course, Xie Yu also thanked the gods and Buddhas all over the sky. It was the luckiest time in the past few days that Xie Yu fell to the bottom of the cliff.
But now is no longer the time to wait. Xie Yu is very hungry and thirsty now, so Xie Yu immediately picks up the ten-pound eagle and rushes to the dense greenery ahead.
Xie Yu According to Xie Yu's experience, generally places with more green plants should have water sources.
Running to the death of a horse in the mountains, this body is in poor health, and the road is not easy to walk, Xie Yu walked for a long time before he found the green color.
Fortunately, Xie Yu could still use small spots of light to replenish some energy and blood from the body of the dead eagle. Otherwise, Xie Yu felt that he really couldn't hold on.
However, he had no choice but to persist in order to survive. Sure enough, as Xie Yu saw the green grass in front of him and walked not too far, Xie Yu saw patches of shrubs and woods further away.
These things finally made Xie Yu's heart settle down.
Xie Yu knew that as long as there was water and food to keep him going for more than ten days, he would be able to recover his strength through the power of thunder and lightning, and then he would be able to get out of the bottom of the cliff.
Sure enough, Xie Yu continued to walk forward, and Xie Yu felt as if he had come to a valley where the seasons were like spring. You must know that it was autumn, and autumn tigers were still quite powerful. Otherwise, Xie Yu would not need so much water.
But I don't know if it was Xie Yu's own illusion. Xie Yu vaguely seemed to hear the sound of water in front of him. Xie Yu rushed to the place where the sound of water was in front of him regardless of anything else.
Sure enough, after a while, Xie Yu's face became more and more excited, and soon Xie Yu saw a small water channel that looked like water from a mountain spring.
The spring water is clear and refreshing. It is really a sweet spring on this hot day. Xie Yu jumped into the stream regardless of others and took a deep drink.
After finishing the refreshment, Xie Yu saw that the time was almost up, so he walked up the stream. He wanted to find a camp suitable for him to repair and barbecue before dark. He had been hungry for several days.
Xie Yu has always thought that no matter how advanced you are in cultivation, you still have to eat. Those who eat are humans, and those who don’t eat are immortals, gods, or Buddhas. Relatively speaking, he prefers to be a human being.
The distance is not too far, but only a few hundred. Xie Yu walked to the cliff again, but this time Xie Yu was a little surprised. It seemed like someone had lived here before.
Because Xie Yu could see broken pottery shards here from time to time, even a lot of polished stones, and an obviously collapsed and decayed thatched shed. It was obvious at a glance that someone had lived here.
I wonder if this person is like an unlucky guy like Xie Yu who was knocked off the cliff.
However, being able to fall off a cliff and survive, get adventures, and achieve peerless martial arts should be treated as a protagonist.
Xie Yu still looked at the "gourd mark" in his right hand, hoping that this time, like before, it would bring him some adventure.
Xie Yu followed the man-made traces and found a cave hidden by shrubs. The cave was very dark, but there was a faint breeze blowing through it, which showed that the cave was very deep and should be connected.
At this time, Xie Yu thought of the underground caves and karst landforms that he had seen on TV before. Maybe there was some secret passage in the cave.
But it was getting late now, so Xie Yu decided to explore again tomorrow.
Xie Yu went back and found the rotten straw shed. Since the straw shed could no longer be used, Xie Yu decided to turn it into firewood, which was considered waste utilization.
Just do it, and Xie Yu was ready soon. The rotten wood, dry and light, is indeed a good firewood.
Then Xie Yu used his "Yi Yang Finger" to light the fire starter and ignited the bonfire prepared by Xie Yu.
Looking at the bonfire with splashing flames, Xie Yu felt a little excited in his heart. Fire is indeed the source of light and hope for mankind. Looking at the bonfire, Xie Yu was actually moved by himself.
Well, it was not time to be in a daze. Xie Yu found a suitable stone and broke it into pieces, and found a piece of gravel that looked sharper.
Start disembowelling the dead eagle, of course keeping the feathers. The bottom of the cliff is still a bit cold at night, Xie Yu has felt it deeply these past few days.
After cleaning up the debris, Xie Yu threw it into the bonfire and burned it. Xie Yu cut the other meat into meat strips and hung them up to smoke and save them for eating tomorrow. The rest with bones and meat will be Xie Yu's dinner tonight.
Xie Yu excitedly ate the eagle meat without salt or seasoning. It felt much chewier than chicken. However, Xie Yu had not eaten for many days and did not dare to eat more.
After Xie Yu was a little full, he stopped eating and drank some boiling hot water from the broken earthen pot, and then he was ready to set out to find things to prepare for entering the cave tomorrow.
The first step was to make torches. Xie Yu found a few trees with burls and began to cut off the bark and collect the gum.
After placing wooden sticks on the gum, Xie Yu began to peel off some fresh bark and prepare to weave some simple bark ropes.
