Chapter 1143: The Story of the Tree God
Lingcun is said to be a village, but it is actually a small market town, the seat of the township government.
Qi Hao came to the big tree, the trunk went straight into the sky, the branches were overwhelming, the leaves covered the sky, and the cool breeze under the tree was long, so comfortable.
Qi Hao looked at the trunk of the tree, he was not surprised, the trunk was so big, it was unbelievable, two-thirds of the trunk was in the dam, and one-third was leaning against the mountain wall about five meters high.
The trunk of the tree is surrounded by an iron fence, which is intended to prevent people from approaching the trunk, how big is the trunk, let's put it this way, the trunk is the bare part of the dam, Qi Hao visually examined, without fifteen people like him, I am afraid that hand in hand will not be able to surround it!
It's such a big tree, it's not an exaggeration to say that it's the best in the world, 5,000 ancient civilizations, and unexpected miracles are born around you.
This is a yellow cypress tree, also known as the guiding tree, which was mostly planted at the entrance of the market town and beside the main road in the past, and was mostly used by people who went around to rest and guide the way.
Standing under the big tree, riding the cool breeze, enjoying the shade, looking up at the big tree, Qi Hao absolutely believes that this is the world's largest tree and can be on the Guinness Book of World Records. Qi Hao also absolutely believes that this big tree is not a tree, and it has become an elf after years of mulberry years. Unfortunately, the high highway leads from where it stands, and even the elves have to kill it.
Qi Hao asked Yuan Yang to take out his camera to take pictures, and asked him to take pictures carefully, from all angles, and strive to take pictures of the whole tree.
There are villagers and bustling tourists under the big tree, and the tourists take pictures under the big tree, while Yuan Yang only takes pictures of the big tree, which immediately attracts people's attention.
An old man came over and looked at Qi Hao and the three of them vigilantly, the three of them were not locals, nor did they look like tourists, he said, "Comrade, you care about the big tree!" ”
Shu Xiaohai was just about to speak. Qi Hao preemptively said: "The high highway should be led from here, we are from the engineering team, come and see, such a big tree, it is not so easy to cut it down!" ”
The man looked at Qi Hao and the three of them in a panic, suddenly turned around and ran to the place where he was drinking tea in a panic, picked up a gong from the ground and ran into the village. As he ran, he struck the gong and shouted loudly: "The engineering team has come to cut down the tree god!" The engineering team is here to cut down the tree god! ”
It turned out that this person seemed to be drinking tea under the big tree, but in essence, he was standing guard for the big tree, and his gong and throat were stirred up, and Lingcun was like a fried pot, and suddenly thousands of men, women, and children rushed out from all directions.
The shouts of thousands of people were like thunder, and the wind that ran from thousands of people was stronger than level eight. The yellow dust rolled up by thousands of people when they ran made people unable to open their eyes, thousands of people held weapons and discharged the sea in array, and the dust under the big trees was dark for a while, and it was threatening to trample Qi Hao, Yuan Yang, and Fan Dayu into a pulp.
Thousands of people rushed towards Qi Hao, Shu Xiaohai, and Fan Heavy Rain, which was as unstoppable as the lack of embankment in a dam, and Shu Xiaohai and Fan Heavy Rain were shocked, and dozens or hundreds of people could be rivals. Thousands of people pressed over and it was not a cap, and the two shouted: "Brother, go quickly!" ”
Qi Hao took a step forward and stood majestically, Shu Xiaohai went to pull Qi Hao, Qi Hao was nailed there like a nail, seeing that Qi Hao did not move, Shu Xiaohai rushed to Qi Hao to protect Qi Hao, and when it rained heavily, Qi Hao was out of the way. Rush to the front and make a desperate stance.
The shouting and rushing people were armed with weapons such as sticks, hoes, knives, etc., and the menacing scene was terrifying, but they did not rush to Qi Hao and the others, but rushed directly to the big tree and surrounded the trunk of the tree to protect it around the big tree, shouting and insulting, waving the weapons in their hands, and demonstrating to Qi Hao and the others.
See it at a glance. Their actions do not pose a threat to anyone, but only to protect the tree, and no one is allowed to cut down the tree god.
With so many people and such a big movement, it turned out that there was no need to use force at all. Even Qi Hao felt that it was a bluff for everyone to toss for a long time, and it was no wonder that the people did not fight with the officials, and the villagers were not afraid of things.
After the villagers protected the big tree, there were only three people on the opposite side, and it was not like they were really going to cut down the tree god, and their anger gradually subsided.
Thousands of people stared at the three people with hostile eyes, seeing that the three of them did not speak, they were very calm, and they were not frightened by their battle, and a few old people came out of the thousands of people, looking at Qi Hao and the three of them suspiciously, and one of them asked, "What are you doing?" ”
Qi Hao asked with a puzzled expression: "Old man, what kind of play are you playing?" ”
Hey, these three people are tourists for a long time, so excited that thousands of people are embarrassed, an old man said: "We thought you were here to cut down the tree god!" ”
"Dryads?" Qi Hao pretended to be puzzled and asked, "Where is the tree god?" ”
An old man said dissatisfiedly: "I see that you don't have eyes, have you ever seen such a big tree?" ”
Qi Hao looked at the tree carefully and said, "I really haven't seen it!" ”
An old man said: "It's not easy, it's not so big, it's not a tree god!" ”
Qi Hao smiled: "If you grow so big, you are a tree god, no!" ”
Seeing that the old man chatted with the three of them, it had been confirmed that it was not the tree god, what was the meaning of thousands of people surrounding the tree god, and everyone dispersed. In broad daylight, there is still endless work to be done at home, and there is no time to set up a gantry array under the big tree.
There were only a lot of children and more than a dozen old people left under the big tree.
An old man said excitedly: "You are a foreigner, you only see that it is a big tree, we are locals, only to know if it is a tree god!" ”
"It seems that this big tree really has a story!" Qi Hao sat down with great interest, and asked the tea sellers under the big tree to make tea, of course, each old man made a bowl, to listen to the old man tell the story of the tree god.
After the tea was brewed, the old man saw that the young man in front of him was modest, so he asked, "Do you know the story of Sun Bin and Pang Juan?" ”
Qi Hao thought about his expression and asked, "Is it Sun Bin and Pang Juan during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period?" ”
The old man nodded and said: "Back then, Sun Bin used the strategy of reducing the stove to retreat from the north to the south, Pang Juan relied on his own soldiers to have a large number of generals, and chased from the north to the south. Sun Bin shot an arrow through Pang Juan's chest, and the arrow shot into the tree god! You see, the hole above the tree god was left by Sun Bin when he shot Pang Juan! ”
Qi Hao looked in the direction of the old man's finger, and there was indeed a hole in the trunk of the bowl two meters high, and he said, "Oh! ”
The Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period are three thousand years away, and this tree god is three thousand years old, and his longevity is amazing, and the address of the battle of Sun Bin and Pang Juan Maling also needs to be verified, but believe it or not, anyway, the people of Ling Village believe it.
The old man said, "You know that the fire burned the camp for 700 miles, right? ”
Qi Hao said: "Heard of it, right? ”
The old man said: "Liu Bei attacked Wu, it was the day of the day, the climate was hot, Liu Bei ordered the army to camp in the canyon by the mountains and rivers, and the soldiers were also happy, but I didn't expect 6 to burn Liu Bei's 700-mile company camp!" ”
The fire burned the camp for 700 miles, and even the location was not right, who burned whom, but if the old man wanted to say this, no one could do anything about him.
"Oh!" Qi Hao said, "This can only say that the big trees have the same life, witness history, what does it have to do with God?" ”
The old man pointed to the broken branch in the north and asked Qi Hao: "There was a broken branch there, did you see it?" ”
Qi Hao looked through the dense branches and leaves, and the traces of the broken branches were clearly visible, Qi Hao said: "I saw it!" ”
"On the fifth day of the seventh month of the fifth year of Kangxi," the old man seemed to have experienced his own expression, "People saw the body of the tree god trembling in the morning, and for some reason, they talked about it for some reason; At noon, the tree god trembled again, and everyone still talked about it; At night, the tree god trembled, and people still did not understand what it meant. Just when people left the tree to go home to rest, the tree god suddenly let out a roar, and a branch snapped and fell to the ground! People were shocked, and some people asked, the god of trees, is it the human race that is going to be in danger! The tree god didn't answer, everyone knew that the tree god didn't have a mouth, how could he speak, the tree god must have used a broken arm to warn people and tell people to dodge. That night, people took refuge from the village, and in the middle of the night, the canyon river burst through the bamboo hole water, washing away the village, and the whole village was safe and sound, and escaped a catastrophe! ”
Qi Hao said: "No wonder it is called the tree god to protect the lives of the villagers!" ”
The old man said: "You don't believe it, talk about the recent events, people who starved to death that year know, right?" ”
The country of Huaxia is fertile and boundless, but there have been starvation and death, that tragic scene now sounds like a soul-shattering thing, Qi Hao heard his father and mother tell him, Qi Hao nodded to the old man, indicating that he knew about it.
"My life, the life of a villager, is given by the tree god." The old man burst into tears, "There was no food to eat that year, and the whole village was swollen and sick, and it was not good to see it, it was the tree god, which produced many finger-sized fruits, which were used by some people to satisfy hunger, and the body was not swollen, so the whole village ate the fruit produced by the tree god as food, and only then did they escape starvation!" ”
Qi Hao sighed: "Such a big tree, who would be willing to hurt it!" ”
"Man, I really don't understand what's going on!" The old man shook his head and said, "That year, the big steel smelting, Fu County cut trees and burned charcoal to make iron, the county magistrate at that time called the tree god, some people said that the tree god can't be cut, the county magistrate said, why can't the tree god be cut, the people want to stride into the **, Britain catches up with the United States, and the tree god also has to contribute to the big steelmaking!" Sure enough, a few people came to cut down the tree god the next day, but they didn't cut a few axes, and a thunderbolt clicked in the sky, and two people were killed! When the county magistrate heard about this, he said ruthlessly, thinking that the tree god would not be able to move, and then sent someone to cut down the tree, but he didn't expect that the words just fell and his stomach hurt, and he went to the hospital for examination, and the liver cancer was in the advanced stage, and the person died in a few days, and no one ordered to cut down the tree god in the future! ”
Qi Hao smiled: "There is really such a thing, it is so clever that people can't believe it!" ”
"What!" The old man stared at Qi Hao with an indignant expression.
