Chapter Forty-Four: The Old Iron Tree

The temple is not big, and under the leadership of Yunli, he quickly found the target, and in the open space in the backyard, a half-human-high iron tree stands there abruptly, and there is only some small grass growing around it, which is very conspicuous. Not far from the right side of the iron tree, there is another rotten tree, it seems that there is another old iron tree here before, but it has been dead for a long time, I don't know if it was destroyed in that disaster.

At first glance, this old iron tree is not much different from other iron trees in the village, the main trunk is straight, and the branches and leaves are evenly scattered, but because no one takes care of it, those withered branches and leaves are still attached to the iron tree, covering most of the lower body of the iron tree.

But from the gaps, it can be seen that the trunk of the old iron tree is dark red, which is very different from the brown and black color of the general iron tree, Yunli estimated, the age of this old iron tree is at least five or six hundred years old, very rare, judging from the electromagnetic force feedback information, it is very suitable for cultivation.

It was a surprise to meet this old iron tree, but it would take a lot of effort to transport it back to Xiaolu Mountain, not to mention that I don't know if the little old man was willing to let him dig up the tree, if the people in the village were resolutely opposed, it would not be easy to use the strong, although for himself, it was not much difficult to snatch this old iron tree.

When Yunli was pondering, Lin Changqing couldn't wait to go and take a closer look, and when he walked to the middle of the courtyard, his heart suddenly chuckled, and an extremely uneasy feeling surged into his heart, and in an instant, the ground he was standing on suddenly sank, and before he could react quickly, the whole person fell with the ground.

"Ah" When Lin Changqing reacted and shouted out loud, he did not fall down with the ground as he imagined, and vaguely felt from the information transmitted by his nerves that his right foot seemed to be firmly grasped by something, and because he was too frightened, he had to reflexively cry out.

"Brother Lin! Brother Lin! After being messy for a while, Lin Changqing recovered a little, recognized that it was Yunli's shout, and turned his head to look up, it turned out that Yunli had saved him. But the current situation is very critical, and Yunli also fell into a big pit, holding Lin Changqing's ankle with one hand, and dragging one strap of the backpack with the other, and the other strap of the backpack is wrapped around an exposed rock block on the pit wall.

"Brother Lin, calm down, put your body on the wall of the pit, find a point to grab, and stabilize your body first." Seeing Lin Changqing come back to his senses, Yun Li immediately reminded him. I saw him straddle the horse sideways on the pit wall, because there was no suitable focus point, both hands were very hard to grasp, the green tendons on his arms burst out, and beads of sweat the size of beans oozed from his forehead.

He sensed something wrong earlier than the party Lin Changqing, and between the lightning and flint, with the energy burst from the electromagnetic force, he grabbed Lin Changqing in a very short time, and found the grip point to stabilize his body.

Realizing that he had picked up a small life, the ecstasy of immortality instantly replaced fear, Lin Changqing immediately followed Yunli's request, clinging to the pit wall, and hurriedly probing with both hands to find a support point.

Lin Changqing's recovery made Yunli's burden lightened a lot, and he observed the situation around him, except for the rock that was entangled in the backpack buckle, there was no good grip point.

Since he didn't, he went to create a zĂ o by himself, and his feet gradually closed back, his back was against the wall, and his feet slowly pushed out of the dirt on both sides, gradually forming a shallow path to provide support points for his feet.

Lin Changqing didn't know what Bai Yunli was going to do, but at the critical moment, he didn't dare to make a sound to disturb him, so he had to watch Yunli's every move intently, but when Yunli kicked the soil with his feet, a small amount of mud and sand fell into his mouth and nose, which made him very uncomfortable, but he had to endure to keep his body still, and tears and snot flew together for a while.

After his feet were fixed in the form of a horse, Yunli's current posture was a standard "ten" shape, and from a distance, it looked like a cross nailed to the pit wall. After having enough force points, Yun Li began to exert his strength, slowly pulling Lin Changqing up, until he pulled him to his half-waist position, Lin Changqing could finally turn around, and under Yun Li's instructions, he stepped on his body and climbed up, successfully escaping from the pit.

Without Lin Changqing's burden, Yunli withdrew his feet, loosened his sore muscles and bones a little, and returned to the ground after a few climbs, extremely calm.

For the rest of his life after the catastrophe, Lin Changqing was in shock, lying on his back on the stone at the entrance of the backyard, gasping for breath, just a long time upside down, making his blood flow backwards, his blood was not smooth, and he coughed dryly, but he did not suffer any external injuries, at most he just sucked a few mouthfuls of mud and sand.

"Brother Yunyun, if it weren't for you, my brother's life would really be put into it, such a great favor, I really don't know how to thank you." After recovering a little, Lin Changqing sat down and said to Yun Li with a sincere face.

After a while just now, Yunli's consumption was also very great, he took a few deep breaths, waved his hand and said: "What's the matter, if it weren't for my business, Brother Lin wouldn't have encountered this kind of danger, it's okay if you're fine, don't mention it if you thank you or something." ”

"Although I was born in Laos, but the blood of the Han people flows in my body, the grace of dripping water, and the spring reciprocates, and if there is any place to use my brother in the future, just open your mouth." Lin Changqing patted his heart and reassured, looking resolute.

Seeing that he was so stubborn, Yunli was no longer reluctant, and after nodding, he observed the surrounding situation.

The place in the middle of the backyard has basically collapsed, and the old iron tree that Yun Li cares about the most is just on the edge of the big pit, and it has not fallen, and most of the roots are exposed, as long as the soil on the other side is dug up again, the entire old iron tree can be dug out lightly, which saves him a lot of effort.

What is surprising is that the roots of the old iron tree are the same as the main trunk, all of them are dark red, quite peculiar, I don't know if it is the cause of thunder and lightning, which makes it mutate, or is it really as the villagers say, this is the resentment of the monks who died in vain in the Buddhist temple.

The collapsed pit is more than ten meters deep, the ground around it is very loose, and there is still a danger of continuing to collapse, so Yunli and Lin Changqing do not dare to get too close, because the collapse is too big, many people in the village have rushed over, but due to the deterrence of rumors, they dare not step into the Buddhist temple to see what is going on, so they have to gather around the gatehouse and talk non-stop, and the village chief who took the lead is even more anxious, if he was not pulled by the villagers, he would have rushed in.

It didn't take long for the two outsiders to come out, and everyone was relieved to see that they were all right, some of them clasped their hands together, and said something like blessing, and some even knelt down and bowed in the direction of the west.

If the two of them had an accident, it would bring unimaginable trouble to the fruit village, especially since one of them was a foreign tourist, and no matter which country it happened, this kind of thing would cause a lot of attention.

When I told the story of the Buddhist temple before, I thought it was to scare the two of them, so that they could quickly choose an iron tree and collect money to send away guests, but they didn't expect that the two of them were really not afraid, which made the little old man annoyed and angry, so he simply ignored them. But he never expected that not long after the two of them went up, they made such a big move, which shocked him so much that he hurriedly summoned the villagers to come up to see what was going on, and he had already scolded Yunli and Lin Changqing in his heart.

As soon as he saw the two of them come out, the little old man and the village chief went up to grab the two of them, and chattered about it, as if they were afraid that the two would slip away from him again.

Lin Changqing whispered a few words to the little old man, then raised his hands, made a quiet gesture, and said loudly to everyone in Liao: "This is the case, just now our brothers went into the temple and met the souls of the monks, and they said that they wanted to return to the Buddha, and they didn't want to be trapped here and cause trouble to everyone. ”

"What was that loud noise just now, it couldn't be that the souls of the monks were about to rush out, right?" Someone in the crowd asked.

Lin Changqing had an idea, took off the string of Buddha beads on his wrist, showed it in front of everyone, and said loudly: "That's true, just now we broke in recklessly and woke up the souls of the monks. Fortunately, we are both devout Buddhist believers, in the early years also had the guidance of the monk, this string of Buddhist beads, is the monk left me a token, the soul of the monk saw this Buddha beads, only stopped, and put forward a request to leave with us. ”

"Then how are they going to leave, will they bury the village too, our Buddha beads don't know if they will work." There were people in the crowd who asked questions, causing panic among everyone.

Lin Changqing raised the Buddha beads again, patted his chest and said: "Don't worry, we just discussed with the soul of the monk, and we will definitely not embarrass everyone, they will stay in the old iron tree in the backyard, and our brothers will transport the old iron tree out and send it to the well-known Buddhist temple to overtake them, and now we need a cart, a shovel, and a few thick ropes." ”

At this time, the little old man and the village chief also spoke: "Listen to the guests, hurry up and prepare the things." ”

The little old man's words were still very useful, everyone discussed it, and someone went down the mountain to move the tools, taking advantage of the gap, Lin Changqing gave Yunli a look, signaling that things were going well.

Although he couldn't understand what they said, Yun Li knew the general content, Lin Changqing's remarks were made up temporarily to fool the villagers after the two of them discussed. If they hadn't done this, they would have made a big move, and it would definitely not end well, so they simply said the matter to the most taboo place for them, and it was also thanks to Lin Changqing's wit that he followed their concerns and said things vividly, and successfully fooled them.

During the whole process, Yunli stood aside and handed over the stage to Lin Changqing to perform, and at the same time, he was ready for the villagers to turn their faces and deny their accounts, but when he saw that the villagers had a look of conviction, he knew that things were going well.
