Chapter 526: Thirteen Villages in Nine Districts
Naturally, there are no trees under the abyss, but nature is magical, and anything can happen.
This tree, in fact, is a piece of copper and stone mixed together, and then the breath of the endless abyss washes all year round, and the stones can't resist cracking one after another, falling deep into the ground, but these copper mines remain, and finally form such a strange place.
The copper stone emerged from the ground, and the shape of the branches spread endlessly, so that it resembled an extremely large tree standing in the abyss.
The antiques of the Endless Abyss call it the "Tree of Life." ”
At first, I was a little unimpressed, isn't it just a piece of copper? You have to take the name of a tree of life. I think it's the far-fetched dreams of these old antiques who want to have life again.
But when I saw the tree, I realized how ridiculous my thoughts were.
It is indeed a tree, a tree that covers the sky and the sun, and its branches spread like a forest.
The tree has no leaves, only branches of various thicknesses, and the branches emit a faint metallic luster under the strong light of the flashlight, and it looks extremely cold.
I squinted my eyes and looked down, and I could vaguely see countless branches gathered together, forming a huge tree with a diameter of hundreds of meters, directly reaching the bottom of the endless abyss.
This is indeed a tree.
The old lame man and the old blind man suddenly stopped when they climbed to this point, and bowed to the tree of life. Seeing that they had such respect for the tree, I asked softly, "Is this their faith?" ”
The old cripple said, "No, this is our benefactor." ”
I wondered slightly, but I heard the old blind man say slowly: "Zhang Wuxin, the respect for the tree of life is the respect for us old antiques. If it weren't for these metal branches, we would have been scattered and our bodies would have perished. ”
According to the old blind man, when they were treated like garbage, they were stopped by copper and stone, and they barely survived. Later, there was a matter of being born to save people from the endless abyss.
Without these intricate copperstones, the old antiques would be like the garbage of the past, and no one would have survived.
I listened to the two of them as I continued down the zigzag staircase. The further down you go, the more you discover the majesty and magnificence of this copper tree.
The body of the tree, which is hundreds of meters thick, has countless branches with a metallic luster, and the wind sweeps through the branches, making a sound like a ghost's scream.
Coupled with the occasional flickering underground flames, this underground world brings a completely different feeling from above.
Seriously, this place is more than enough for science fiction movies and as a framing of an alien world.
After worshipping the Tree of Life, we went down a little faster, and after ten minutes, a beam of light suddenly pierced through the darkness and shone up from below.
The old lame man breathed a sigh of relief and said, "This is the mirror of the old ghost with a broken intestine." This old guy was left in his early years with rotten intestines, which was scratched by zombies and eaten the internal organs. At that time, everyone thought that he would not survive, but he was saved by Tianshengzi. ”
The closer you get to the Endless Abyss, the easier the zigzag stairs become, and it is clear that the old guys in the Abyss climb up the Tree of Life from time to time and intercept some copper ore for their own use.
After a long time, the road is of course better maintained than before.
Seeing that I was about to reach my destination, my expression became more and more solemn. The old blind man probably saw my expression, and suddenly yelled below: "Are all the seniors of the Thirteen Villages in the Ninth District here? Get ready to welcome your guests! ”
A very thin voice came from below: "Honored guest? Hehe, the Born Son has been dead for many years, and there will be no more distinguished guests in the Endless Abyss. Old blind man, hurry up and bring people down, I can't wait! ”
The dark man said softly: "Zhang Wuxin, the other party has bad intentions, you must have more eyes." ”
I sneered, "As long as they still ask me, I'm not afraid to play any tricks!" It's a big deal that we break up, I'm dead, and they never want to leave the Endless Abyss! ”
The old blind man said coldly: "Don't think too highly of yourself, if you die, you still have to win the destiny." ”
I laughed, "What? Just returned to his own territory, and his tail cocked? Counting on winning the Mandate of Heaven? It's better to expect the sow to come up to the tree! ”
I was taken captive by them before, and I always had a fire in my heart, and they were really unkind to me, and they could handle it as much as they wanted. Later, Zhang Wuren came, and the old cripple and the old blind man were a lot more restrained.
Now that we are far away from the Exorcism City and have reached the territory of the Endless Abyss, the old blind man has regained his previous arrogant expression.
The old blind man didn't want to offend me at this time, so he didn't argue with me, but said lightly: "The previous agreement is still valid, as long as it can help us get out of the abyss, it's okay to say anything." ”
After he said this, his eyes suddenly lit up, but countless green fires lit up one after another, illuminating the surroundings green and miserable.
This is the unique light emitted by the Green Flame in the center of the earth.
In the beginning, I had seen He Zhonghua use the Geocentric Green Flame, but this kind of flame was very strange, it could not be cultivated, it could not be ignited, and it was used once less.
Later, He Zhonghua wanted to keep a little flame as a collectible, so he hid the last green flame in the Yin and Yang store, and he never used it again until now.
I really didn't expect that the original green flame in the center of the earth was actually brought out of the endless abyss.
The green light is faint, and there are faintly crowded people, and there are quite a few of them. I descended rapidly with the figures of the old blind man and the old lame man, and then stood firmly on the ground.
The Immortal Man whispered to me, "The Endless Abyss is vast, but it must rely on the Green Flame in the center of the earth to keep the old antiques here. The distribution of these geocentric green flames is limited, and it is precisely because of the distribution of these flames that the Endless Abyss is divided into nine districts and thirteen villages. ”
After a pause, he added; "In fact, many people know that the thirteen villages in the nine districts do not represent all the endless abyss, the first battle of life and death and the second battle of life and death of the year have a wide range, and there is still a darkness that no one has explored outside the thirteen villages of the nine districts. Whether there are any masters who have survived that year hidden in it, no one can say. ”
I nodded, indicating that I understood, which meant that these old antiques from the Thirteen Villages of the Nine Districts only represented a part of the Endless Abyss, not all of them.
Under the green flame in the center of the earth, more than a dozen old men with their backs and crutches stood there, all of them looking old and covered with scars. After the old cripple and the old blind man passed, he bowed slightly and said, "Seniors, the old cripple and the old blind man have come back to report. ”
An old man said weakly, "What about the rest?" ”
The old cripple said: "Some fell into the hands of the Ten Thousand Demon Pit, some were captured by Mohuitou Villa, and some were chased and killed by the living. ”
The old man coughed and said lightly: "It's been thousands of years, and the outside world is still fighting. Alas, it may not be a good thing for us to leave the abyss. ”
Another old man sneered: "Flat-headed monster, don't be sad there, don't leave if you have the ability." Everyone finally struggled to survive from the abyss, and wanted to stay here and be buried with the abyss, but Lao Tzu didn't want to! ”
Another hey said, "Survive?" Is this state also called surviving? Sometimes when I think about it, it's really better to die! ”
"Humph! So if you want to die, why don't you leave the Thirteen Villages in the Nine Districts by yourself? To put it bluntly, he is still a soft egg, and he only knows that he is talking about it. ”
These people all look crooked and cracked, their image is very poor, and the relationship between them is not very harmonious, and they are constantly bickering there. This made the old cripple and the old blind man a little embarrassed, and they stood by and did not dare to speak.
After these old people finished arguing, someone suddenly remembered us and said, "Okay, everyone stop arguing, since we have made a plan to leave, don't worry about some trivial things, let's take a look at this ...... Zhang Wuxin? Right? ”
I heard him mention his name, and I took a step forward proudly and said, "I'm Zhang Wuxin." ”
The old men turned their heads tremblingly, and when their eyes opened, there was a green flame. They stared at me with blazing eyes, and after a long time they whispered, "Like! It's like! ”
"That's right, it's really like! Especially that kind of temperament, it's him who is right! ”
