Chapter 105: Heavenly Secret Realm
Quiet!
Deathly silence!
Even the sound of the river flowing is inaudible.
The most important thing is that it is warm and full of flowers, but there is not a single insect or bird to be seen, and there is no living thing in sight except for the lush plants.
In the river, there is not even dried shrimp.
Only the mountains and rivers are beautiful and the flowers are blooming everywhere, but there are no birds and buzzes flying all over the sky, which is really wrong.
This place...... It's terrifyingly beautiful.
It's so weird, I can't help but think of a poem I learned in elementary school, the poem talks about a painting, and it says:
Looking at the mountains from afar,
Hear the water silently.
Spring flowers are still there,
People are not surprised when they come.
The gist of the poem is to praise the painter for his superb painting skills, and to confuse the real with the false. But for some reason, every time I read this poem and look at the illustrations accompanying the poem, I always feel a strange atmosphere of horror that cannot be explained.
Now, what I see now is like something in a painting, real and wrong.
Could it be that this place is really a painting, and I have unconsciously entered the painting?
Otherwise, how could this place never be mentioned?
I patted my temple, thinking that I must have been thinking too much, I wonder if it was because I had inhaled too much poisonous gas in the crystal cave just now, causing my thoughts to be confused?
Throw away the messy thoughts in your head, although you have managed to get out of danger and get rid of the trouble of the little red snake.
But my purpose of entering the Ssangyong Cave has not been achieved, and now is not the time to relax.
The wounds on my body were soaked in the hot springs, and although they were not so painful, some blood was still oozing out, and it was warm, so I took off my tattered coat, torn it into strips of cloth, and bandaged the wounds.
After the bandage, more than ten minutes have passed.
The strength of the body has recovered a lot, and he looks at the sky through the sparse flower branches.
Perhaps it is dyed by the surrounding peach blossoms, and the sky seems to be pale red.
It should be noon, the sky is cloudless, and strangely the sun is not visible.
I didn't expect to enter the Shuanglong Cave to this place, and half a day had passed unconsciously.
No matter what kind of place this place is, the most important thing now is to find Lao Fei and Yan Xiaoying first and meet them.
I'm sure the two of them shouldn't go far, barring an accident.
Thinking of this, I took off my mountain whip, used it as a crutch, and followed the river all the way downstream.
Walk out for a hundred meters, it will be out of the peach blossom tree shroud range, it turns out that the peach blossom tree here is not too much, although there is no peach blossom tree, but there are more beautiful than the peach blossom tree in front, taller plants.
After walking for about a few hundred meters, I didn't see Lao Fei and Yan Xiaoying, and I didn't even find the footprints they left behind.
Soon after, I heard the sound of rumbling water in front of me.
Listen to the movement, there should be a waterfall ahead.
I quickened my pace, and after a few minutes, the vision ahead suddenly widened.
There is a cliff in front, under the cliff is a steep slope meadow, there is no tall thing on the grass, the river rushes down from the cliff, and pours straight down the slope, like a white red practice on the Xinxin grassland, which is very spectacular.
But my eyes were not on the rushing water below, but on a tree in front of me, which was different from the rest.
That's because it's so big, and it's very special.
The tree grew from the deepest part of the slope, and from a distance it was not known how big it was, but it was estimated to be at least a hundred meters in diameter.
That's right, at least a hundred meters in diameter.
The word towering giant tree is no longer enough to describe the shock it brings, and its branched branches, like black dragons, appear in mid-air.
I don't know how high, but it's definitely higher than the mountain I'm on.
There are nine peaks around the tree, and I am now halfway up one of them, and the nine peaks are of different shapes, but none of them is as majestic as the one that surrounds them and grows in the center.
That's almost beyond the tree.
I can't put it into words, only the shock.
How can a tree grow taller than the sky?
At least for now, I can't see the end of it, only vaguely see a small red dot at an unknown number of hundreds of meters high.
It looks like the fruit of a big tree, but when you look closely, it looks like a red building, more like a palace.
A palace built on top of the sky.
I was almost numb to it, and it wasn't until a long time later that I withdrew my gaze, rested for half a minute, and then looked at it again.
After repeating this several times, I was finally able to confirm that what I saw in front of me was real.
A majestic giant tree appeared in front of me, it had no leaves, only branches, and its whole body was black, like a dragon with black scales dancing in the air.
This scene can no longer be explained by common sense.
What the hell is this place?
Now, I can be completely sure that this place is not within the realm of Heaven, but rather a fairyland.
This may be an exaggeration, even if there is no fairy land in this world, but this is definitely an isolated and secret place.
It took a long time for my mood to calm down.
Standing on the top of the cliff, look around again.
Nine peaks, some in the shape of a tiger, some like a sheep, some like a horse......
I suddenly remembered that Jingmei had said before that Heaven Mountain originally had eighteen peaks, but after the battle with the Twin Dragons, nine of them disappeared.
Could it be that the nine peaks you see in front of you are the nine that Heaven Mountain has disappeared?
If this is the case, it is really incredible, you must know that these are nine mountains, who has such great power to move the nine mountains?
And above the big tree, what about the red palace?
Jingmei she ...... You can't live on it, do you?
After taking a few deep breaths in a row, I took out my mobile phone, and I wanted to use my mobile phone to contact Lao Fei and Yan Xiaoying.
But when I turned on my phone, I found that there was no signal.
The mysterious Peach Blossom Spring, nine vanished mountain peaks, and a towering giant tree, what is this place?
I'm not too worried about Yan Xiaoying, she was originally a self-reliant woman, but Lao Fei is a trouble.
I sighed, turned my head to look at the river behind me, and looked down at the bottom of the cliff.
Beneath the cliff is a savannah, at the base of which is a canyon forest, surrounded by nine peaks, a huge basin.
With such a big secret realm, how difficult is it to find Jingmei?
That big tree is weird, maybe there are traces left by Jingmei, I hope she ...... Don't be surprised.
Thinking of Jingmei, I gathered my emotions again, took out a nylon rope from my backpack, tied one end of the rope to a boulder next to me, and then climbed the rope and slid down the cliff.
After descending about forty or fifty meters, the slope was gentle, I abandoned the rope and climbed the vines to continue towards the canyon forest below.
After ten minutes, I finally came to the bottom of the cliff, the sloping grassland that I had seen before.
When I got closer, I realized that it was not grass growing on the ground, but a common vine in our local area...... Lei Gong Root, also called Lei Gong Vine.
This is a meadow covered with thunder vines.
Gotu Gong root is an umbelliferous herb, it is a common herb, in the hot weather in summer, it can be boiled into herbal tea to drink, it is also said to treat heart disease, hoarse and dry throat, bronchitis and other diseases.
Lei Gong root is a creeper plant, the rhizome is like a bamboo, very slender, its rhizome is usually blood-purple, and the leaves are like lotus leaves.
This plant cannot grow except in areas with cold temperatures, and it is found in almost every corner of our country.
However, this is the first time I have seen such a large piece of Lei Gonggen grassland in front of me.
I didn't think it was so strange to see the towering giant tree in the distance, and then to see the grassland formed by the entwining and draping of countless thunder roots.
But there is a peculiar thing, this slope grassland is not flat, and it is surrounded by small dirt slopes like mountain graves, dense like waves.
I don't know how such a strange topography was formed?
