Li Zhibao nodded and said, "It's exactly this that I wonder about, why this sentence appears again on this stone tablet." ”

As he spoke, he picked out a few more stone chips, pointed to Qin Wen on them and said to Xiao Ling: "These stone pieces tell the story of them going down Penglai Mountain, going to Fangzhu Mountain, looking for immortal traces, until they arrived at Yingzhou, and finally got something, it seems that the mountain where we are now is Yingzhou among the three immortal mountains in the East China Sea." ”

Yu Tingting also walked over and said, "It seems that although Xu Fu and they found immortal traces in the first two mountains, they didn't gain anything after all, and they failed to find the true method of immortality. ”

Xiao Ling thought for a while and said, "Elder Li, these stone tablets say that they have finally gained something in this Yingzhou, is there a specific description of what they have gained?" Is it to meet immortals? Gain the method of immortality? Or is it something else? ”

Li Zhibao shook his head and said: "The records on these stone tablets are very fragmentary, and there is no systematic detailed description, what I care about most is that this sentence 'immortality is like a curse' appeared here again, which makes me have some bad premonitions." ”

Xiao Ling's expression moved, and he said, "Old Li, what do you mean...... Maybe what Xu Fu and others said back then's 'immortality is like a curse', wasn't it parasitized by the lighthouse ghost jellyfish as we thought before? Or is it something else? ”

Li Zhibao nodded, his expression solemn.

Xiao Ling muttered, "If you mean something else...... That's not good. He understood the reason why Li Zhibao's face was solemn.

Yu Tingting said: "If it refers to the lighthouse ghost jellyfish, Xu Fu has left bamboo slips in the first Penglai Mountain at that time, warning future generations, there is no reason to come to the third Yingzhou Mountain, and still carve this sentence on the stone tablets, it seems that this sentence is very important to him, or this matter has been bothering him, from this point of view, it is very likely that this sentence really does not refer to the lighthouse ghost jellyfish, and our previous guess may be wrong." ”

Xiao Ling said: "If Xu Fu really means something else, then this sentence 'immortality is like a curse'...... What exactly does it represent. ”

Li Zhibao picked up a few stone pieces from them and looked at them carefully, the expression on his face became more and more solemn, and he said slowly: "Look at the records of these pieces." ”

Pointing to Qin Wen above: "These pieces record that they started from Penglai Mountain, and they have been seeing immortal traces, and then they followed immortal traces to come here." ”

Xiao Ling said: "They have always seen the immortal traces, and they have followed the immortal traces to come here, what will the immortal traces recorded on it be." ”

Li Zhibao shook his head and said, "It's hard to say now, but it's a pity that there is no detailed record on these stone tablets." ”

Yu Tingting said: "What I care about now is the repeated engraving of 'Immortality is like a curse', which must have a deep meaning, and may be related to this immortal miracle." ”

Xiao Ling raised his head, looked at the towering trees around him, looked at the flowers in his eyes, and muttered: "There are still too few clues now, what happened to Xu Fu and those people back then, and what is the truth that guy said." ”

The person who looked exactly like himself resurfaced in his mind, it was he who mentioned Guiru, and told himself that if he entered Guiru, he would know all the truth, and now they had arrived at Guiru, and even climbed the three legendary immortal mountains, but now, they are still like clouds and mountains and fog, and they have found nothing.

After staying here for two hours, and after making sure that there were no new discoveries, they finally left and continued their journey into the mountains.

This primeval forest, although the branches are luxuriant, like a green ocean, looks full of life, but slowly everyone realizes that something is wrong.

"Sister Ting, do you feel a little abnormal? In such a forest, there was not a single animal or bird to be seen. Xiao Ling frowned slightly.

"yes, it's so quiet around here, it's unusually quiet." Hu Shengzhe was shocked when he heard Xiao Ling talk about it, and he also noticed it.

Yu Tingting snorted and said, "Yes, from yesterday to today, we don't seem to have seen a single animal here." ”

Xiao Ling said: "Abnormality is a demon, there must be something wrong with this forest." ”

In the previous two black mountains, everyone encountered ancient beasts in a row, and now this mountain, not to mention that the ancient beasts have not been seen, there are not even ordinary beasts, and the silence makes people feel weird.

Sun Tao waved the saber in his hand, cut off a branch that was blocking in front of him, and turned around and said: "Although I haven't seen a single animal along the way, the trees here are growing very well, which is indeed very strange, such a lush primeval forest, not even a bird can be seen." ”

Everyone couldn't guess the reason, Xiao Ling frowned slightly, he always felt a little restless, and there was a faint sense of foreboding, as if some danger was about to happen, but there was no miserable white hand around, which seemed to mean that there would be no danger for the time being.

"What the hell is going on? Why is your heart so messy? Xiao Ling took a deep breath, these days, with more and more experiences, he has become more and more calm, even if he encounters life and death danger, he will not be as flustered as now, this feeling is really strange.

Suddenly, Sun Tao, who was opening the way in front of him, chuckled lightly and said, "What a thick tree." ”

With Sun Tao's voice, everyone looked up one after another and saw a hundred meters ahead, surrounded by trees, standing an extraordinarily thick towering tree.

Xiao Ling looked up and saw that the height of this big tree was more than fifty meters, and the diameter of the thickest part of the tree pole had reached at least five meters.

"Such a tall tree, I'm afraid it must be a thousand years old." Sun Tao looked at the big tree, took the saber, cut off the branches in front of him, and walked towards the towering tree.

Hu Shengzhe looked at it and said: "This should be a variant of the giant sequoia, which is commonly known as the world lord, such a height is nothing, now the largest tree in the world is called the General Sherman Tree, which is 83.8 meters high, with a maximum diameter of 11.1 meters at the bottom, and the age of the tree is about 2300 to 2700 years." The tallest tree is the Australian almond eucalyptus, up to 156 meters, known as the tallest tower in the tree world, it is said that this tree can absorb a thousand catties of water every day, and you can hear the sound of the water flowing with your ears against this tree, but although the Australian almond eucalyptus is the tallest tree in the world, the diameter of the trunk is not very thick, so the largest tree is still the General Sherman tree. ”

Wang Lei shook his head and said, "Old Hu, have you forgotten the immortal tree under the Luobu Desert?" ”

Xiao Ling thought of the immortal tree as high as a kilometer, whether it was the General Sherman tree that Hu Shengzhe just said or the Australian almond eucalyptus tree, it was not enough to mention, but it was a pity that it had been destroyed.

Hu Shengzhe said: "The immortal tree is an ancient strange tree, naturally it is not in this list, and it has been destroyed, and there is no tree in this world that surpasses the General Sherman tree and the Australian almond eucalyptus." ”
