Chapter 81: Deep
My heart moved, and the words of the Taoist priest reminded me that what he said was not impossible. I remembered the stone carvings I had seen in the underground ruins, and the traces of the Three-Eyed Man's activities recorded on them were obviously exaggerated, such as shooting the sun and setting the flood.
The Three-Eyed Civilization under the sinkhole and the Three-Eyed Civilization in the underground ruins are not actually in conflict, they may just be different stages of the same civilization. Just like the current human civilization, the myths and stories left thousands of years ago are ethereal to us, but if we really want to record them, they must have gone through some deification techniques, and didn't our ancestors also live an ancient and primitive life thousands of years ago?
Perhaps the Three-Eyed Civilization under the sinkhole is equivalent to the initial primitive and ignorant period of human civilization, and the Three-Eyed Civilization in the underground ruins is equivalent to the current human civilization, or even more advanced.
If you think about it carefully, this possibility is very high, but I don't know what is the relationship between this strange Three-Eyed Civilization and human civilization, whether the two exist side by side in the same era, or whether the Three-Eyed Civilization is earlier than human civilization?
The further down I went, the deeper my doubts became, and at the same time I felt that something was wrong, why was the temperature around me so low?
The cold air made me shiver, as if I had been thrown into the refrigerator, the cold did not look like a natural decrease in temperature, I felt that the situation was not right, and called the Taoist priest: "Hey, wait!"
"Huh? What's wrong? The Taoist priest stopped and looked up at me, this guy was moving very quickly, and he had already opened a distance of one or two meters from me.
"Don't you notice that the temperature is a lot cooler here?"
"Damn, you just found out! Damn, we didn't get down long before the temperature started to drop, and you'll know how cold it is when you get down to me! ”
I shrunk my neck, and said to myself, could it be because my attention was focused on the content of the relief just now, and I didn't feel it?
"No! If we go on like this, we won't be able to go far and we'll be frozen into popsicles, and, look at the torches," I pointed to the torches that had turned into small blue dots above my head, and then said: "The height of the tree hole from the ground is only ten meters at most, but now we have climbed down for more than thirty meters, but we still can't see the bottom of it, this is definitely a problem!" ”
The Taoist priest looked up at the torch, and then shone it downward, and his face changed, only to see that under the reflection of the firelight, except for the iron chains below, there was only endless and deep darkness, and there was no meaning at all.
"Immeasurable...... Your grandmother is a Tianzun, down here, shouldn't there be no bottom? Is this tree really leading to hell? ”
The Taoist priest looked at me, and I looked at him, and the faces of both of them suddenly changed.
After being stunned for a long time, the Taoist priest asked me what to do, do you want to continue? I don't have an idea in my heart, Zhang Tianxing left a message to find the sign to find the ghost fetus, and the mark did appear, if it wasn't for Zhang Tianxing joking, there must be a ghost fetus here, but I don't know if the so-called ghost tire is above or below, in case you find the wrong direction, and the following is a dangerous place, don't the two of us have to take a break?
I expressed my doubts, and the Taoist priest scratched his head and thought for a while, and told me that he had read the records of the Hell Tree, and if he wanted to find the Hell Fetus, he absolutely had to go down, because the Hell Fetus is a Yin thing, and the closer to the place where the Hell Tree takes root, the closer it is to the Hell Tree, the more Yin Qi will be, and it is most suitable for giving birth to the Hell Fetus.
I didn't know anything about this, and the Taoist priest swore by it, so I believed it, but I always felt that this guy's expression was a little strange, because he had been swallowing his saliva, as if he had seen some delicious food.
In the end, I decided to believe the opinion of the Taoist professional, and the two of them continued to go down, the temperature continued to drop, but it was still within the range of what I could bear, and I had already made up my mind, once the temperature inside reached a point that I couldn't bear, and we still didn't find the womb, I decided to retreat.
At this time, I was no longer in the mood to look at the reliefs on the stone pillars carefully, so I just climbed down and took pictures with my camera, planning to look at them later when I went out.
The Taoist priest was still one or two meters ahead of me, and he said that this was to better illuminate and mine me, and if there was any trouble, I would be able to know in advance. I doubt this, this guy is right, but he is also a guy who can't afford to make profits early, otherwise I wouldn't have been pit half of the gold by him when I was in Fengyang, he is so active now, there is definitely a problem.
At this time, I remembered that this guy had seen the relevant records of the Hell Tree, and my heart moved, so I asked him: "Daoist, you said that you have seen the records of the Hell Tree, so do you know what is special about this thing?" ”
Originally, I just asked casually, firstly, to find out the tone of this guy, and secondly, I really wanted to know the mystery of the Hell Tree, because I really couldn't forget the scene I saw in my childhood, but I didn't think that the Taoist priest looked up at me and smiled, showing a very weird and mysterious expression: "Hehe, little reporter, do you see it?" ”
The Taoist priest held the torch high, in the darkness, the dark blue fire flickered and jumped, half of the Taoist priest's face was hidden in the darkness, and the smile on the other half of the face seemed to be ill-intentioned, under the ghostly fire-like ghostly light, it looked extremely weird, just like an evil devil. The more I looked, the more I felt that something was wrong with the Taoist priest, and a bad premonition suddenly rose in my heart, this Taoist priest in front of me should not be fake, right?
The moment the thought arose, I was startled by myself, and I suddenly felt the urge to run back immediately.
At the critical moment, the Taoist priest brought the torch closer, so that his whole face appeared in the firelight, and the weird expression just now suddenly turned into an extremely obscene smile: "Hehe, in this case, the Taoist master will not hide it from you, Lao Tzu came in with you, in addition to helping you for the sake of our friendship, there are also some other purposes, hey, what's the fuck wrong with you, why is your face so ugly?" Is it frozen? ”
I know that my face must not be good-looking, and my heart said that the damn is not scared by you, but looking at the appearance of the Taoist priest, the weird feeling just now should be just my illusion, I breathed a sigh of relief, wiped the cold sweat on my head, and said: "I'm fine, other purposes, what is your purpose?" ”
The Taoist priest glanced at me suspiciously, did not continue to ask, showed an excited expression on his face, and said: "Regarding the record of the Hell Tree, Dao Ye saw it in the "Heavenly Master Record", according to the above record, the essence of the Hell Tree has a magical power, which can resurrect the long-dead corpse, and can also make the living people produce strange changes, and even immortality. ”
"What, to resurrect the dead, to live forever?" I almost dropped my jaw at the Taoist priest's words, "Damn, you're not kidding, how is this possible?" If there is really such an effect, wouldn't it be even more awesome than Zhen Yuanzi's life fruit tree? ”
"This is recorded in the "Heavenly Master Record", and the Taoist Master doesn't know if it's true, but although there may be exaggerated ingredients, there should still be some magical effects!" The Taoist priest touched his chin, and there was an expectant look on his face.
Now I finally know why this guy is so active, and has been rushing to the front to open the way, it turns out that this bastard already knew that the hell tree still has such a good thing, no wonder he has been swallowing saliva just now, it doesn't seem to be my delusion. I finally put my mind at ease, and at the same time scolded the Taoist priest in my heart, and his mother's hair almost scared me to death.
In addition to the Underworld, the Hell Tree also has something similar to the ginseng fruit, although I don't believe it, but there is still some curiosity and expectation in my heart, and the pace of going down is unconsciously faster.
After climbing down for more than 20 meters, the temperature around me has dropped to a critical point, and I sweated a lot all the way, and now these sweats have formed frost and stuck to my body, which shows that the temperature here has definitely reached below zero, or even lower.
I shrunk into a ball, my hands and feet have begun to stiffen a little, I know that I can't go any further, otherwise I will definitely die, just about to stop the Taoist priest to go back, suddenly I heard him let out an exclamation: "Reporter, look below, there is something!" As he spoke, the guy had already taken a few steps to leap down, as if the cold here had no effect on him at all.
I rubbed my body and looked down, but I only saw the Taoist priest falling quickly into the darkness, and his body was getting smaller and smaller. The only source of light was taken away by him, and the surroundings went dark, and the remaining torches were on him. I greeted the ancestor of the Taoist priest in my heart, and at the same time shouted: "Dog, you wait for me, Lao Tzu has no light, I can't see!" ”
There was no response, and I don't know if this guy heard it, but fortunately, after the light point of the torch fell more than twenty meters, it stopped, and it seemed that the Taoist priest had found what he saw. I didn't follow, I really didn't want to go on, it was too cold, my hands and feet were almost out of control, I was going to wait here for the Taoist priest to come up.
The darkness around me made me feel very uncomfortable, and I thought that I still had my mobile phone on me, and when I took it out and looked at it, there was still electricity, and it was lit up immediately.
The dim light shines out, my heart is slightly relaxed, it may be a psychological relationship, I feel that the cold around me has decreased a little, but it is still very cold. I can only move my body while secretly scolding the Taoist priest, hoping that this guy can come up soon.
There were also reliefs in the vicinity, but the light from my phone was too weak to see clearly, so I turned on the flash of my camera and tried to take pictures of the reliefs in front of me.
Click! When the shutter is pressed, a dazzling flash of light flickers and disappears, illuminating the dark and deep surroundings.
I froze for a moment, a chill that was worse than the freezing temperature around me rushed to my brain, and all the hairs on my body stood upside down, and at the moment when the flash was lit up just now, I seemed to see many eyes, many huge eyes.
