The courtyard door is wide open, facing the courtyard gate is a brick screen wall, this screen wall is full of momentum, and when you enter the courtyard gate, you will feel a gloom above your head, as if there is something pressing on the top. The screen wall is open at both ends, Liu Dongxi stood silently for a moment three steps in front of the wall, turned right, and we followed behind.

Turning the wall, there is a long and narrow bluestone ground from north to south, a sandy ground in the middle, surrounded by a main house and two wings, and a huge tree grows in the courtyard next door, but a branch stretches out over the wall.

Liu Dongxi's footsteps froze, and he half-turned his head and said, "Brother An, do you feel that this place is a little familiar?" ”

"How is that possible? I've never been here again! "Actually, I can already see that the structure here is exactly the same as the building structure of the place where the underground Danding is located, except for the screen courtyard wall. Especially the giant tree, although the scale is tens of millions of miles away from the underground tree, it is not often huge in this world, not to mention that its growth location is exactly the same as that underground. But how is this kind of thing possible, I don't dare admit it at all.

But Liu Dongxi obviously didn't care about anything, and opened his mouth and said: "I think this place is exactly the same as that place!" ”

Liu Dongxi's words were conclusive, so I had to follow: "It's just a coincidence!" How could there be such a thing? ”

"That's a lot of things! It is very common for the above-ground yang house and the underground yin house to correspond! ”

"That underground isn't the Mansion!"

"It's almost the same, the ancients cultivated and ascended to immortals, and what they wanted was to get rid of their bodies and go away, and there were many people who built the cave mansion of cultivation according to the elaboration of the Yin House. This place may be the residence of the alchemist in the Yang World, we should have come to the right place! ”

His words were a bit informative, and I was completely lost in thought. After coming out of the underground, I looked up a lot of architectural styles in various historical periods of civilization on the Internet, and none of them matched the underground world. To put it bluntly, the underground ruins are not in our historical category at all, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is the fairy world. However, the thatched house where Danding is located looks like a building in the Xia and Shang periods, but it appeared there for some reason. The courtyard in front of you is solemn and heavy, it is the style of the Ming Dynasty architecture, and the Xia and Ming dynasties have to be three thousand years apart. I suddenly remembered the conversation with Liu Dongxi when I took the pill, could it be that this alchemist really became an immortal, spanning thousands of years of time and space, and built a yang house here to enjoy this world of flowers?

This kind of thing is a bit too, and the facts have proven that the so-called elixir of eternal life is the poison of genocide!

"Do you know what you're talking about?" I looked at Liu Dongdao and said.

He apparently understood this verse as well, and said in shock: "This is impossible! ”

We both looked at each other, and although we didn't say it explicitly, we both knew what the other person was referring to, and we both had incredible looks on our faces. In fact, there are many other possible explanations for this kind of thing, but we are intimidated by the strangeness of this summer village, and we think in the most unlikely direction.

Ge Haoran saw that we were sluggish, muttered something and found a stone pier to sit down, Lu Yan held the pillar on the porch, and didn't know what he was thinking. Everyone seemed to have their own agendas, but little Adam rushed out quickly, arching under the tree and not knowing what he was doing. I was afraid that it would be in any danger, so I hurried over, and saw countless fallen leaves scattered on the ground, and little Adam must have found the fruit in it, and shook his head and tail to eat it with great pleasure.

I picked one up and looked at it, it turned out to be ginkgo, and I was afraid that it would be poisoned and hurriedly picked up Xiao Adang. This little thing obviously didn't have enough to eat, and it struggled in my arms. Liu Shixin also walked over, and saw that I was trying to subdue the little pig in my arms and said in surprise: "What's the matter, what is this messing with?" ”

"This ground is full of ginkgo, I'm afraid that it will be poisoned, and I don't want to let him eat it!"

Liu Shixin took the ginkgo biloba in my hand and looked at it, "You let it eat it, this ancient tree species has the most appetite for them, and it will not be poisoned." ”

Originally, I couldn't bear to let Xiao Adang eat it, so I put it down as soon as I heard Liu Shixi, and as soon as Xiao Adang landed, he plunged into the fallen leaves, twisted his ass and chewed it.

Liu Dongxi looked at Xiao Adam, who was half-buried in the pile of fallen leaves, and said with a solemn face: "Brother An, it's hard to say if we see the ghost this time, but I'm afraid it's really come to the Immortal Cave Mansion." ”

"Why?"

"Look at this ginkgo!" Liu Dongxi pointed forward.

I looked in the direction he pointed, only to see the branches on the courtyard wall, stretching endlessly, and when I looked carefully with a flashlight, I found that the half section was not the courtyard wall at all, and this section of four or five meters wide was actually the main trunk of this ginkgo, and the courtyard wall was still behind the tree!

"Such a big tree!" I gasped, I had seen a giant tree of this size in a sinkhole, but it was the first time I had seen it outside.

"That's right, this place is already at a high altitude, and ginkgo biloba is a plant that grows slowly, and I'm afraid it's even worse at such a high place." Liu Dongxi turned his head to look at me, "I heard that there is a ginkgo tree king in Guizhou, which is inferior to this, but even that tree must be five or six thousand years old, and this kind of tree, the longer the tree grows, the slower it grows......"

While thinking about it, I couldn't help but say, "If you calculate it this way, this tree can't be ten thousand years old?" ”

But what does this mean? Although the tens of thousands of years old tree is rare, it cannot be said that it is impossible, this ginkgo tree is originally a living fossil, and the age of the tree is also quite long, which does not explain anything at all.

"You mean to say that this tree was planted by the alchemist?" I asked Liu something.

Liu Dongxi didn't answer me, and continued to talk back and forth, "I just measured it, and the ratio of this tree to this yard is exactly the same as the Danfang underground, if I guess correctly, there should be a well over there." ”

I looked back and immediately remembered the time when I was attacked by the monster underground, and the shaft was even more impressive.

"Even if there is a well, what does it mean? This place didn't have to be built by the alchemist, maybe it was passed down from generation to generation by his descendants? I retorted.

Liu Dongyi waved his hand, "That's not important, we just need to prove the age of this place!" ”

Until now, I didn't realize that what I refuted was myself, Liu Dongxi didn't say that this place with a strong Ming Dynasty style was built by the alchemists on the underground building wood back then, that was just my idea.

At this time, Liu Dongxi had already walked to the place where there should be a well, and turned around and shouted at me: "Brother An, there is really a well here!" ”

I hurriedly ran over, only to see that in front of Liu Dongxi, a borehole was deeply hit on the ground, and the rope marks were outlined, and it seemed that it was still flashing with a ghostly light. I shook the flashlight and shone it inside, only to see that it suddenly shrank less than one meter down, the wall of the well was uneven, the wellhead part should have been built later, there were bricks and stones, leaving countless traces of repair, which circle of the wellhead did not look like the age was very close. The flashlight couldn't shine at all, and I threw a stone down to hear the sound of the water, but it was like falling into a bottomless abyss, and there was no movement at all.

Liu Shixi also stretched out his head to look, and suddenly said, "Brother An, what kind of material do you think this well wall is made of?" ”

"I don't know, maybe it's a stone!" I really don't know, but I just look at the color, it should be a mossy stone.

"No, look at the ...... over there," Liu Shixi shone the flashlight in one direction.

I looked over there, and a long root grew on the dark cave wall. The tendrils didn't look like they had come out of a crack in the rock, they looked like they had grown out of the wall of the well itself!

I looked up overhead, and the well was very close to the tree, almost parallel to the first fork of the canopy, and an incredible feeling filled my mind. So, this well is probably only less than a thousand years old from this tree............
