Chapter 144: Asha Conceals the Truth About the Mountain Fire Weiyi has insight into the cause of the biogas
As soon as Mo Zhai spoke, he jumped up from the bed, and stretched around his body. I just feel that the strength on this body has indeed recovered a lot!
Afterwards, I heard him talk to Wu Weiyi and Ke Erzhenxi:
"Big brother, big brother Ke Er, where should we go now? I don't know what to do? ”
Wu Weiyi heard Mo Zhai ask like this, so he first glanced at Ke Er Zhenxi, and then replied to him:
"Brother Xian, this is not a place for idle talk these days...... The Yelang bandits we met when we came here have already disturbed this place for a while! …… Although it is a temporary retreat by our rivals! But I'm afraid that soon those bad guys will come back! …… Brother Wei is now working with the Cole brothers to persuade the servants here to take refuge in the back mountains...... Now, if the virtuous brother can already move around, then we might as well go to the back mountain together! ”
I only heard Wu Weiyi and Mo Zhai say this, and Mo Zhai has just woken up now, and he has no idea about the reason. I don't know why, just in the blink of an eye, those servants who originally regarded them as enemies are now shaking hands with their eldest brother and making peace?! Moreover, even his own life was saved inexplicably, and he didn't have a clue at all......
However, when Mo Zhai saw Wu Weiyi talking to him, his expression was solemn. Knowing that his situation was urgent, he immediately got up, and casually picked up the Chengying that had been separated from him for a long time, and replied with Wu Weiyi:
"In this case, Zhai Zidang should obey the arrangement of the eldest brother! …… Zhai is now in good health, without further ado, let's set off! ”
So, Mo Zhai walked out of the house with Wu Weiyi and Ke Zhenxi, and walked straight to the back hill ramp.
……
Wu Weiyi and Ke Erzhen walked all the way to the back mountain. Looking around, I saw that there was indeed a place, and a large area of its vegetation was burned by the fire of yesterday. And Wu Weiyi saw that several of the trees fell to the ground after they were burned, but he also felt a little strange, so he asked Mo Zhai:
"Brother Xian, the forest fire here last night was indeed a strange thing...... But I heard that the servant girl was almost buried in the back mountain yesterday, but fortunately she was rescued by her virtuous brother to survive. If that's the case, I think the virtuous brother should know the details of the wildfire here? …… I don't know why? …… So that this place is lost so much fire? ”
Mo Zhai listened, but he couldn't help but be shocked! If you want to talk about yesterday's mountain fire, how would he Mo Zhai not know? ! It was clearly he who led the fire, so that the two of them almost died in the back mountain!
However, what puzzled Mo Zhai was that as to how this mountain fire came about, the demon girl Yang Asha should be as clear as him! …… And why didn't she tell everyone about it? …… Judging from this situation, it is very likely that she has hidden her family from the past!
At this time, Mo Zhai didn't dare to hide it from his eldest brother, so he told him in detail about the situation last night.
Wu Weiyi heard that it was those big trees in the forest, and they would be broken by open fire for no reason, but he only felt a little strange:
"If you want to talk about these dead wood and rotten leaves in the forest, when they encounter an open flame, they will burst into flames...... That's normal, but ...... If it is said that it is an open flame, it will explode...... And according to Mo Zhai's words, its blasting power is still very huge, and it is enough to make a piece of square wood blow up and fly! …… But why is that?! ”
I saw that Wu Weiyi was thinking while looking into the depths of the unburned trees at the bottom of the mountain. I saw that some of those trees were also towering trees that had been standing for a hundred years!
Some of them are not very tall, and they are very long, and, when you look closer, you can see that the solid wood of many of them has long been hollowed out by the insects and birds in the forest, and you can smell a disgusting smell of corpse decay from them......
When Wu Weiyi saw this, he suddenly thought of the possible reason......
"Presumably, the rotten roots of the wood here reside in the rotten layer of the earth, and it has rained heavily here recently, but it is extremely hot and humid...... And the root system of these trees is also becoming more and more corrupted because of this. The biogas is generated, and through the pathways built by these termites, it is stored in the wooden hole and cannot be dispersed...... Therefore, when it encounters an open flame, it escapes into the wooden hole from the root ant hole, and the biogas of the entire wood ** will be detonated! And its blasting power can blow up the other giant trees here! ……”
When Wu Weiyi thought of this, he had a plan in his heart. In order to confirm his thoughts, Wu Weiyi immediately went to meet Jiuli Younu and her husband Ke Yiyi, who were walking with him all the way.
"I've seen the Witch Master! …… Weiyi came this time, but he asked about something. ”
Ke Yiyi knew that his wife Jiuli Younu couldn't understand Wu Weiyi's Xia language, so he acted as an interpreter for him.
"Sir, don't be polite...... But I don't know why Mr. Wu came this time, but he came to find his aunt? ”
Wu Weiyi heard Ke Yiyi translate the words, so he continued to ask them:
"Huh...... There's nothing else to do, but I just want to ask, is there often a spontaneous combustion of rotten wood in the mountains behind here? ”
Jiuli Younu and Ke Yiyi couldn't help but be shocked when they heard Wu Weiyi ask. I think he was just a foreigner, but how did he know the story of this sacred mountain of their servants?
Therefore, after listening to it, Jiuli You Nu didn't want to talk too much to him, a foreigner, but replied to him in a very perfunctory way:
"This ...... There is its own...... We and other servants are all descendants of Zhurong! In the war between Zhu Rong and Gonggong that year, Zhu Rong defeated the Gonggong of the good man and the water with the holy fire. Therefore, in the sacred mountains of our clan, in the rainy season, there are many giant trees burning in the forest! …… This is the god of fire to show its might! ”
Wu Weiyi listened to the two of them, although he described the "self-immolation in the mountains and forests" here in a mysterious way. Even those ancient myths such as "Zhurong" and "Gonggong" are also mixed in.
Even so, as soon as Wu Weiyi heard the witch master's reply here, it could be regarded as confirming his own thoughts, and he also explored the truth of "forest incineration" here!
"Witch Master! Weiyi now has another plan, which can thwart that group of Yelang villains on this mountain! …… I wonder if the witch lord cares?! ”
When Ke Yiyi was interpreting the original version of these words to Mrs. Yu, I saw that the Jiuli You girl suddenly brightened up, and couldn't help but ask Wu Weiyi:
"Oh?! But I don't know what the high opinion is? …… Why don't you tell us about it? ”
So, Wu Weiyi continued to speak:
"Those nightly villains, now they rely on only a dozen war elephants! And the strength of those war elephants, presumably you should be more clear than Weiyi! …… Although we can take refuge in the back mountains now, it is not a foolproof solution! …… Fortunately, all the trees in this mountain can be fire, and those who are feared by war elephants are fire! Therefore...... In the future, if its war elephant is going to climb the hill and attack the mountain, we will use this fire resistance technique to frustrate its sharp spirit! Wouldn't it be wonderful?! ”
Jiuli Younu heard Wu Weiyi's plan, but she immediately got up and shouted again and again:
"No, no! This mountain is the place of blessing and healing! We have been guarding the sacred mountain for generations, how can we burn the sacred mountain for self-preservation?! …… Never! ”
