Chapter Twenty-Four: The Ten Thousand Year Old Tree
Startled by the ape, Zhang Ling gradually woke up from his dream.
"Ape, you won't be reluctant to me, will you? Why follow me? I can't stay here forever, although I know you are alone, but I also have my world and mission, we are destined to meet again, okay?"
Zhang Ling thought that the ape found him, maybe because he was reluctant to him, and he couldn't help but feel a trace of emotion in his heart, but he had to go out, and he had to find Xiaoxue.
After listening to Zhang Ling's words, the ape did not leave, but was dancing and screaming, running left and right, Zhang Ling didn't know what it meant, so he ignored it and continued to hurry.
But Zhang Ling walked all the way, and the ape followed all the way, but he couldn't drive away, Zhang Ling had no choice but to let it follow him.
There is a big tree in front of it! It is at least 10 zhang high, and I am afraid it has a history of tens of thousands of years, right? Zhang Ling continued to hurry, but inadvertently saw a big tree in the sky, this tree is old but vigorous, the branches of the tree are spread, extending to a distance of 100 meters, if the rainstorm is coming, hiding under this tree, I am afraid that there will not be half a drop of rain sticking to him.
It's so hot, and I have no water source, why don't I rest under this tree for a while? Zhang Ling is indeed a little tired.
"Ape, I'm really hungry and thirsty, you are familiar with this mountain, why don't you go find some wild fruits for me to eat?" Zhang Ling was really hungry and thirsty, but he was not very familiar with this mountain, so he could only ask the ape to find some wild fruits to feed himself.
But how did Zhang Ling finish speaking, but he didn't see that the ape had the desire to find the wild fruit, Zhang Ling sighed unconsciously, a little disappointed.
"Hey, forget it, I'll find it myself!" he got up and went to find food and water.
But when Zhang Ling was about to step forward, he didn't expect the ape to rush forward, block Zhang Ling's way, and point to the big tree.
"Well, why are you blocking my way? The big tree? What do you mean?"
Zhang Ling was puzzled, but after thinking about it, he still walked towards the big tree.
Could it be that there is a mystery in this big tree?
Zhang Ling thought to himself that he would probably not be able to get out of this mountain for a while, since the ape intended to instruct, why not come and explore? He knew that this ape was not an ordinary ape, his whole body was full of golden light, and he had already understood spirituality, since it had hinted at it, then this big tree must have a mystery.
Zhang Ling turned around and stepped forward, carefully observed the big tree, and suddenly found that although the tree looked old and the bark was wrinkled, but if you looked closely, you would find that the bark was actually the color of copper and gold, slightly shining. Zhang Ling immediately became interested in this 10,000-year-old tree.
Zhang Ling walked around the big tree, and was surprised to find that the trunk of this tree was a little jaw-dropping, and I am afraid that it would take dozens of people to surround it. It's just that other than that, I didn't find any other clues.
At this time, the ape came forward again, swaying and moving, pointing to a place in the tree.
Zhang Ling looked at the place it was pointing, and saw a short new branch sticking out of the lower end of the trunk, and there were a few emerald green leaves on it. Zhang Ling was puzzled, it stands to reason that it is impossible for such an old tree to grow new branches! Just when Zhang Ling was curious to touch the leaves with his hands, the leaves suddenly shrank again, and then, a surprising scene appeared, there were cracks in the trunk of the tree in that place, and then slowly cracked, Zhang Ling saw the situation and hurriedly retreated, in case there was any danger.
After a moment, the lower end of the trunk had cracked out with a bucket-sized opening, which an adult could easily enter.
"How can this be? There is such a big crack in the hole, could it be that there is some great mystery in the tree hole?"
Zhang Ling was already so surprised that he was almost a little dazed.
At this time, when the ape saw this scene, it seemed to be even more excited, jumping up and down next to it and screaming.
Seeing this, Zhang Ling seemed to have a comprehension, so he put down his belongings and drilled into the tree hole.
Zhang Ling poked his head in, only to see that it was dark inside, but he had gone through so many adventures, he had seen a lot of strange things, and he didn't have any sense of fear, so he boldly walked inside step by step, and after walking in, it was still pitch black, Zhang Ling just stopped, and was suddenly poked by something behind, Zhang Ling was startled, and when he turned around, he saw some shining golden light, and Zhang Ling knew that it was an ape that followed up, and was about to have a seizure, but it was better to think about it.
Anyway, it's pitch black ahead, so you can be a bonfire!
Sure enough, after the ape stepped forward, his vision became clearer, at least he could see the road under his feet, and in this way, under the guidance of the ape, Zhang Ling gradually approached the secret of this tree hole.
The more Zhang Ling walked, the more he felt that he was going underground, as if there was a hole under this tree...
"Hmm, why didn't the ape leave? Is it the end?" Zhang Ling saw that the light in front of him stopped moving, and the ape acting as a bonfire stopped.
Seeing this, Zhang Ling stepped forward, only to see that his eyes suddenly opened up.
"This is..." Zhang Ling was stunned when he saw the scene in front of him.
I saw the appearance of a paradise in front of me, there are mountains and waters, flowers and grasses, waterfalls and clear springs, carved fences and pavilions, and Yaxuan pavilions. There were many small animals jumping and playing, and when they saw Zhang Ling, they all stayed there one by one, stopped giggling, and looked at him curiously.
It's another bizarre wonderland.
Zhang Ling stood stunned for a moment, and suddenly found that there were a few peach trees in sight, and he couldn't be surprised by the scene in front of him, so he ran over quickly, picked a big red peach and sent it to his mouth, so frightened that some little monkeys next to the tree hurriedly scattered.
Zhang Ling was hungry and thirsty, but the ape did not pick wild fruits to eat, but seemed to be looking for something, as if he had returned to his homeland, and admired the scenery of his hometown with nostalgia.
