Chapter 229: Ice Crystal Ancient Tree
Seeing this, I couldn't help but feel a numbness in my back bones, and I couldn't help but wonder if Wang Chu was wrong when I saw it, so I asked again, "Do you see clearly, is that person a ghost and a mouse Lao Jiu?" ”
Wang Chuyi nodded with great certainty, and said, "I have known him for seven or eight years, this person is insidious and cunning, I have been on guard against him on weekdays, and I definitely recognize him well!" ”
Huzi looked up at the figure on the ice crystal ancient tree, sighed, and said, "Then why did he climb on top of this tree?" If it is really the ghost mouse Lao Jiu, then the human head we saw in the tomb is fake? ”
I also looked up, and by this time the black shadow had climbed to the other side of the tree, and when I stood from my position, I could only see a string of bloody handprints. I put down the flashlight, thought about it carefully, and connected the events from entering the ancient tomb to the present, one by one, trying to figure out what the situation is with this ghost and mouse Lao Jiu, is he dead or alive? After thinking about it for a long time, I only felt that what happened along the way was too weird, and everything in front of me couldn't be judged by common sense.
Wang Chuyi patted me on the shoulder and said, "Don't be in a daze, let's hurry over and have a look." "My thoughts flew wildly for a while, and I was slapped by Wang Chuyi, and the whole person was in good spirits, and I simply didn't think about those useless things, as the so-called boat went straight to the bridge, as long as I arrived at the main tomb and touched the artifact to go out, all the doubts would be solved, if the ghost mouse Lao Jiu didn't go out by then, it would prove that he was dead, and if he went out, it would prove that he was fine.
While thinking, we came to the bottom of the ancient tree, and when we got here, I realized that this ancient tree was much bigger than we imagined, and the whole trunk was very thick, and it was estimated that a dozen people could not hold it in a circle.
Huzi and Wang Chuyi lit torches, circled the thick branches of the entire ancient tree, and finally returned to the place where I were standing, and said, "This is not an ancient tree! ”
Wang Chuyi's words made me confused, I looked up at the ancient tree in front of me carefully, and didn't find anything abnormal, so I asked puzzled, "What is this not an ancient tree?" ”
Wang Chuyi hurriedly waved his hand and said, "No, no, I mean, this is not an ancient tree, but a combination of many trees." After I heard what she said, I turned on my flashlight and looked at it carefully, and found that it was indeed the same as she said, that the whole tall ancient tree was stacked by pruned trees one by one, but this stack was perfect, and almost every book fit perfectly, and it looked like a huge towering ancient tree.
At this moment, Huzi raised his flashlight and shouted, "I'll wipe it, this is still a fruit tree, you see, there seems to be fruit hanging on the branches above, it won't be the queen mother's peach tree!" As soon as Huzi's voice fell, Wang Chuyi and I dared to hurriedly raise the flashlight to look in the direction he pointed, only to see that above this huge ancient tree, a branch would stretch out every ten meters, although the whole ancient tree was stacked by countless big trees, but the overall look did not have any flaws, the branches that stretched out, as if they grew from this towering ancient tree, there were many round fruits hanging on it.
Wang Chuyi suddenly shouted: "That's not a fruit at all!" It's a human head! "Because I was standing a little to the left, I didn't see so really, listening to Wang Chuyi's shout, I hurriedly went around, went to her side, and then looked up at the things on the branches, and sure enough, as she said, it was a human head, with hair tied to the branches, and it was also wrapped in a layer of ice, if you didn't look carefully, it was like a tree bearing fruit.
I saw that the part that stretched out from the branch was about twenty meters long, and there were five or six human heads hanging on it, and then looking up, there were many more branches like this, and without exception, there were a few human heads hanging sporadically.
Seeing this, I couldn't help but gasp, and said in my heart what kind of tomb is this, why is it so terrifying, which dynasty is the owner of the tomb, and how did so many people be found martyred in the tomb.
When Huzi saw this, he couldn't help but be surprised, and said, "Oh my God, Lao Bai, I see that the person buried here is not a person, it's the king of Yama, right?" At this time, Wang Chuyi patted Huzi on the shoulder and told him not to talk nonsense, and then raised his flashlight and began to check the surrounding situation.
Now we are on a square platform, although this platform is very large, but almost all occupied by this ancient tree, we can move around the place is very limited, the edge of the platform is a cliff, with a flashlight shining down, bottomless.
On the north side of the platform, there is a very long stone bridge road, about four or five meters wide, one hundred and ten meters long, there are cliffs on both sides, pick up the flashlight and shine down, you can see more than a dozen huge stone pillars supporting the bridge deck, there are no railings on both sides of the bridge, the whole bridge is a plane, from the square platform we are on, all the way to the other platform.
When Huzi saw this, he hurriedly said, "Damn, is this a bridge or a road?" If you accidentally slip and fall, it's not a joke to fall. Wang Chuyi and I took pictures of the surrounding areas of this platform respectively, and made sure that only this passage could be passed, and the other three sides were all bottomless cliffs, so he patted Huzi on the shoulder and said, "Let's go, there is only this one way, just be careful." ”
At this time, Wang Chuyi seemed to be very uneasy about this stone bridge, took out the backpack rope, smashed it into the ground with a tactical pickaxe, and then fixed the climbing rope on his waist, and said, "It's better to take precautions, in case this stone bridge collapses, we will all fall to our deaths." Huzi looked at her and said, "If this stone bridge really collapses, if we don't fall to our deaths, we will probably have to be trapped here and die." As he spoke, he pointed to the stone gate behind him and said, "It's collapsed there, and the ice is so thick that you can't get out at all." ”
Wang Chuyi raised his eyes and looked, sighed, smiled bitterly, touched the climbing rope trapped in his waist, and said, "It's a self-comfort." ”
Huzi didn't plan to tie the mountaineering rope, tightened his backpack, and said, "Then I'll open the way, and you follow me." So saying, he went up to the stone bridge.
At this time, I always felt that something was wrong, so I looked at the tree again, and then grabbed the tiger and said, "No! Don't go over it yet, I always feel that there is something wrong with this stone bridge. ”
Huzi looked at me and asked, "What's the problem?" ”
I pointed to the top of the ancient tree and said, "Since there is a stone bridge to pass through here, why would the ghost mouse Lao Jiu climb the tree?" Did he know that there was a mechanism on the stone bridge? Huzi and Wang Chuyi were stunned when they heard me say this, and instinctively looked at the tree, and then Wang Chuyi said, "Otherwise, let's climb the tree too?" ”
Huzi glanced at Wang Chuyi and said, "You can pull it down, this tree is too high, the light of the flashlight can't shine on the top, once you climb up, there is no way out, not to mention, the figure above is not a ghost mouse Lao Jiu I don't know, even if it is, the ghost mouse Lao Jiu is a human or a ghost, whether it is alive or dead, we don't know, in case you climb up and touch it, it will be troublesome." ”
