Volume 1 The Mystery Mountain of the Big Dipper Chapter 20 Iron Tree and Silver Flower (II)

Shen Yifan and the other five people opened their eyes wide, looking at the scene in front of them stupidly, with an incredulous look on their faces, what they saw could make them so stunned.

What the five of them presented in front of them was an extremely incredible scene, in today's words, they saw images like movies in a field of iron trees and silver flowers, but they were all intermittent images.

There are three videos in total.

The first section is the emergence of a prosperous and rich city, built along both sides of a wide river, which is full of Tang Dynasty buildings, palaces, and pavilions, and many ancient people walked through it. On a street, a crowd of people welcomed a procession full of Persians, including a young Persian nobleman sitting on an elephant and heading towards the palace in front of him, carrying many treasures and treasures, looking very much like a procession of Persian envoys visiting the city. When they came to the palace, a young man in a python robe stood on the steps of the palace to greet them, and the Persian noble boy entered with the python-robed boy.

The second section is the Persian aristocratic boy lying calmly in the bronze box, which is covered with rare treasures, and then I saw another Persian put a piece of vine into the box and close the lid, and the bronze box was the box that Shen Yifan and the others saw before. The envoys carried the box with great sorrow and boarded a Persian merchant ship and departed along the river.

These two paragraphs can be understood by Shen Yifan, which should mean that the zombie in the box should be the Persian aristocratic boy, and the next paragraph is even more bizarre.

This section actually appeared in the scene of the war, but the two armies seem to be dressed a little differently, an attacking army is dressed a bit like the army of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, and the people who resist this army are all dressed in the Tang Dynasty, it is very obvious that the number of troops resisting and defending is much less than that of the attacking army, and the attacking army has sharp firearms, this war is almost a one-sided massacre, the attacking army rushed into the city, and the whole city was inhumanely burned and plundered, and the whole city fell into a sea of fire.

Shen Yifan noticed the differences and similarities between the third image and the first two images, the similarity is that the location of the three images is the same or similar, and the difference is that although the scene in the third image is the same, it is not as prosperous as in the first two images, but it is very dilapidated. Many of the defending soldiers were defending on very dilapidated walls.

Shen Yifan thought about it for a long time and felt that this might be a supernatural phenomenon, some scenes at that time were absorbed by some special substances around him, and all the scenes at that time were recorded in special substances like recording movies. Shen Yifan guessed that this special substance might be a special substance in the bronze box, but no one could say why the copper box was torn apart all of a sudden.

When the image ended, the iron tree and silver flower forest also stopped growing, and slowly began to shrink, becoming a forest, until it shrank to a few pieces of bronze left, it seemed to be a blink of an eye, and the five people watched as if they were dreaming, and everything disappeared in front of them, as if they had just woken up from a dream.

Back in the camp, the five people were already tired, Fang Zi and the other four immediately got into the tent and fell asleep, while Shen Yifan handed over the white powder taken at the mouth of the Juema Ditch to the laboratory personnel with the team for testing, everyone discussed that there might be a sulfur tide coming, and decided to rest here until tomorrow and then set off to enter the Juema Ditch before the giant mosquito arrived at the Juema Ditch, but this plan can only be implemented after the results of the white powder test.

After more than two hours, the test results of the white powder came out. As Shen Yifan expected, this powder contained an unknown giant toxin, and Shen Yifan brought back about half a gram of powder that could actually poison an elephant.

The laboratory technician said: "It's not clear exactly what the ingredients are. However, it is a chronic poison that may not feel much at first, but it can cause a poison over time. The laboratory technician said: "This kind of thing is probably the reason why those giant mosquitoes dare not enter the road." ”

Shen Yifan was even more sure at this time, the roadbed in the Juema Ditch should be all such white powder, and the Juema Ditch was both a passage and a broken worm road, and there might be other functions, and it was still known now.

Murong Wan'er was very upset when she heard the news, which meant that they could not enter through the Absolute Horse Valley, which she knew was the only way to enter the palace under the Great Beidou Mountain.

Shen Yifan also explained the things along the way, but omitted the zombie section. After that, he comforted Murong Wan'er and said that he would definitely find a way to enter the underground palace of the Great Beidou Mountain and collect all the remains of the ancestors of the Murong family. Murong Wan'er trusted Shen Yifan very much, nodded, and didn't say anything more.

After everything was in order, Shen Yifan looked at Juemagou alone in the open space of the camp, as if waiting for the sulfur tide to come as promised, and at this time, a sneer came from behind him.

"Hey......

When Shen Yifan heard this, he immediately looked back vigilantly, and the black shadow appeared in front of him like a ghost.

Shen Yifan asked, "It's you again?" ”

The black shadow still sneered continuously, and walked over and said, "Do you want to enter the horse ditch?" If you want to listen to me, come with me. With that, he shook his body and walked towards the woods.

Shen Yifan caught up with the black shadow and came to the back of a big rock, and when he got here, the black shadow didn't leave, and sat on the big stone all of a sudden, and lit a cigarette.

Shen Yifan smiled: "You still smoke?" I thought you were an ancient man. ”

The black shadow smiled and said: "Lao Tzu lives in Yanjing very freely, it's not your kid Lao Tzu is still looking for flowers and asking willows in the Heavenly Palace!" ”

Shen Yifan still couldn't help but ask, "Who are you?" ”

The dark shadow said, "I am who I am." You don't need to know. As he spoke, he asked rhetorically: "You don't have a way to crack the Jema Ditch?" ”

"Nonsense." Shen Yifan didn't say in a good tone: "If there is, I won't be here." ”

The black shadow smiled: "Then you just listen to me honestly, don't interject." As he spoke, he threw away the cigarette butt and said, "Jumagou was originally an artificially opened canal entrance. It was very prosperous in the Tang Dynasty, and it was the capital of Tang and Fujian, and it was also the location of the mausoleum of the last generation of King Min. You should know about this, so do you know why this place was very prosperous during the Tang Dynasty? ”

Shen Yifan shook his head.

The black shadow said, "The emperors of the Tang Dynasty believed in the art of immortality, and here is a unique medicinal material that was considered indispensable by the alchemists at that time to refine the elixir of immortality. It's called 'Bao Toad Tianyi', that is, the kind of giant toad you see, it's called 'Jin Bao Toad' only here. Therefore, the emperors of the Tang Dynasty built alchemy palaces here. And only here Min people know how to catch this kind of Jinbao toad, so the successive Min kings here are very appreciated by the Tang Emperor. In the last few generations, the kings of Min were all alchemy masters, so there was unprecedented prosperity here. ”

The black shadow man said: "At the end of the Tang Dynasty, the last generation of King Min broke away from the centralized system and established himself as the king, and he began to leave everyone's sight. The last generation of King Min was obsessed with alchemy and cultivating immortals, and he wanted to bring Ziming Tongdeng, so Beidou Mountain was isolated from the world and became a mysterious place. ”

Shen Yifan said: "It is said that the last generation of King Min lived a very long life, and it took nearly fifty or sixty years from when he succeeded King Min to when he was buried in the mausoleum? ”

The Shadow Man smiled and said, "To be exact, it should be sixty-eight years, which is indeed a long life in ancient times. However, that is, his life is too long, and the more he reaches his old age, the more he indulges in alchemy and immortal cultivation, and he is almost devoting all his national strength to preparing for his feathering flying immortal. ”

"He built a huge underground palace in the Big Dipper Mountain, but is there such a thing?" Shen Yifan asked.

The Shadow Man said: "Only when you get out of Juma Ditch can you really enter the hinterland of Beidou Mountain, and inside is a very large ancient city ruins. I have never been to the so-called underground palace, but I know that in the deepest part of Beidou Mountain, there is indeed the underground palace mausoleum of the last generation of King Min, which is said to be very large. ”

Shen Yifan said: "Why do you know how to be clear? ”

The Shadow Man stood up and said, "I'm the only one who came out alive from Big Dipper Mountain. ”

Shen Yifan was very surprised and said, "Are you from the Murong family?" ”

'Hehe' the shadow man said with another sneer, "Joke." Beidoushan is not his Murong family's family, why is it the Murong family who enters Beidoushan? You kid talks a lot of nonsense, do you want to crack the poison of the broken worm path of the Juema Ditch? ”

"Of course." Shen Yifan said.

"Then don't talk nonsense. Come with me. With that, the shadow man flashed towards the woods. Shen Yifan was a little puzzled, but he still got up and followed.

The two returned to the '0'-shaped forest together, and along the way, the black shadow man also talked about the zombies, vines and the iron trees and silver flowers that produced the image, and Shen Yifan was dumbfounded when he heard it.

The land of Ben Nanfu in the Tang Dynasty belonged to the land of the barbaric people, and the Beidou Mountain is famous for the production of precious medicinal materials, and has been valued by the imperial court, where the Southern Fujian capital was established to protect the local 31 tribe rebellion, and the leader of the Beidou Mountain tribe was crowned as the king, becoming the first generation of the King of Fujian, and in the Beidou Mountain, the construction of countless Danding Daoist Halls was established to refine the pill for the royal family, and the construction of the Northern Qi City began here, also known as the Beidou City, and we are unified as the Beidou City in the subsequent chapters. The locals moved into Beidou City and were managed by the King of Min to capture the golden toad for the imperial court. And in the Beidou Mountain, in addition to the golden toad, there is also a necessary medicine for alchemy, called the vine king beast, that is, Shen Yifan, they saw the kind of vine that attacked their team, but what they didn't expect was that this vine was actually an animal rather than a plant, the appearance was like a vine, and the main body was like its ugly old woman, in fact, it was an extremely rare arthropod, and the purple flower on the tentacle was an extremely precious medicinal material, with a very good anti-appearance function. The vine king beast is very fierce and needs to be raised with blood, once it touches those vine arthropods, it will attack it, at that time it was a very good thing to prevent tomb robbery and preserve corpses, as long as there is enough blood, this thing can lie dormant and survive for thousands of years, but his biggest weakness is that he is afraid of blood-sucking animals and insects such as mosquitoes, once the blood volume is reduced to a standard by attack, it will turn into purple water. Only then did Shen Yifan understand how the vine king beast had become purple water after those giant mosquito attacks.

Shen Yifan was dumbfounded when he heard about the iron tree and silver flower, and he couldn't believe that there were such things in the world. The kind of bronze forest that Shen Yifan and others saw that grew rapidly and withered rapidly, and this kind of forest also has the function of remembering images at that time. In the words of the Black Shadow People, this kind of tree is called the Copper Lotus Iron Tree, which is estimated to be a plant that the vine king beast attaches to rest, and it only takes ten minutes from the seed to the growth and withers very quickly, why is it called the Copper Lotus Iron Tree, it should be named after the bronze eight-petal lotus flower seen on the tree. If this plant loses the attachment of the vine king beast, the life cycle is very short, but the purple flower of the vine king beast can maintain the life cycle of this kind of tree for hundreds of thousands of years, if it loses the vine king beast to feed it with blood, it will soon produce seeds like an eight-petal lotus flower, and then spread around, and then grow a copper lotus iron tree, and in the blink of an eye, it can form a forest. The seeds of this tree can be quenched and forged into any shape and are very strong, but the premise must be with the vine king beast, this animal and a plant are actually coexisting, the vine king beast can not leave the copper lotus iron tree, because the inside of the copper lotus iron tree is hollow, like a container, the blood absorbed by the vine king beast can be stored in this tree, and there is also a very rare function of the copper lotus iron tree, that is, refrigeration, the temperature inside the trunk is kept at 0 degrees all year round, like a natural refrigerator, blood is stored in it to ensure freshness, Although the roots of the iron tree are in the soil, the iron tree does not grow by absorbing water or sunlight, but lives on blood, which means that a small part of the blood stored in the trunk of the vine king beast is provided to the copper lotus iron tree. It is rumored that at that time, the King of Min used the seeds of the vine king beast and the copper lotus iron tree to build weapons, and fed them with the blood of slaves, this weapon was strong and sharp, and it was as terrible as life, and later the King of Min felt that this weapon was too contrary to the principles of heaven and abolished it.

The black shadow man was still talking about the copper lotus iron tree while walking towards the forest swamp, and the black shadow man said: "When you cross the Jema Valley, you can see two bare bronze mountains, which are mountains made of the seeds of the copper lotus and iron trees, and there are countless vine king beasts inside the mountain. Many people from the Murong family died somewhere. ”

"Both mountains are the seeds of a tree?" Shen Yifan listened a little incredible.

The Shadow Man said, "It looks like a mountain, but it's actually the seeds of the Copper Lotus Iron Tree. The last generation of Min kings mined these two mountains and quenched the seeds into many bronze ornaments. And the strange function of these seeds is that they can record images. However, there are many conditions that must be met to release the images stored in the Copper Lotus Iron Tree, and I am not very clear about this. The image you see is supposed to have been released by chance, and I suspect it may have been released until it became a forest and the energy reached a certain level. The Shadow Man continued: "What you see should be the last King of Min, and you don't know who the Persians are." There are also rumors that this kind of tree was made into a recording tool for storing top secrets by the people of Minyi at that time, a bit like the USB flash drive we use now. ”

The dark shadow man said, "I'm thinking that the Murong family might be looking for these recording tools. ”

Shen Yifan listened attentively, and when he came to his senses, he had already arrived at the edge of the swamp, looking at the two golden toads that were as large as mountains, and asked a little in his heart: "What are we going to do?" ”
