Chapter 101: The Giant Banyan Tree II
Since entering this ghost, strange things have come one after another, and I can't accept it from the ideological point of view at first. I sighed secretly: "I'm not afraid to bite if there are more lice", if you don't understand, you don't understand! I didn't bother to ask again.
Next, we gathered around the huge banyan tree, the trunk of which was covered with old bark, and it looked like there were some artificial nicks, but these marks were very vague, and I couldn't recognize what the marks were.
Why is there a door in the trunk of a tree? I'm still a little puzzled, I can't imagine what it would be like.
This banyan tree is extremely huge, and it is estimated that it will take at least ten minutes to go around, and if you look carefully for the door on the trunk, I am afraid that it will take more time.
The four of them were divided into two groups, we followed the trunk of the big tree, my uncle and I searched along the left, and Zhang Kailong and Chen Laosan walked to the right. Half an hour passed, and the four of us gathered together again, but we didn't even notice the shadow of the door.
After a while, the four of them sat together, and you exchanged words with me.
"Old man Sun, what does this door open on the tree look like?"
"I don't know! Only my brother had ever entered this door back then, and he only mentioned it to me once......"
I thought about it for a moment, and then said, "Could the door in the tree be a 'special name' and not a real door?" ”
Uncle Shi shook his head and replied: "At least four thousand years ago, Dayu and my senior brother have entered, listening to Chen Laosan's description just now, in the Ming Dynasty, those river god gates also entered this door, so look at it, the door on the banyan tree should be able to enter and exit." ”
Zhang Kailong shook his head and said, "What can be entered and exited is not necessarily the door!" We often catch the so-called gentlemen on the beam, and they don't like to walk through the door. ”
I asked, "You mean, could it be a window?" ”
"There's really no difference between a window and a door, I suspect the door here is a cave!"
"Tree hole?"
My uncle and I shouted almost at the same time.
"That's right! I'm so confused, isn't the door in this tree the hole in the tree? Uncle Shi smiled bitterly.
"That's not right! Wrong! I quickly shook my head again. We searched very carefully this circle, and we didn't find any tree holes! ”
As soon as I said that, everyone was at an impasse again. That's right! After this circle, we looked very closely, although the trunk of this huge banyan tree was rough, there was not even a hole the size of an apple.
After thinking about it, Chen Laosan spoke: "We were just looking for the trunk of the tree, but we didn't look at the top of the tree!" If such a hole existed, would it be on the top of the tree? ”
When I heard it, I thought it made sense.
When I was a child, I liked to follow Chen Xiaobai and them to climb trees and go to the house, and at that time, I knew that the bigger the tree, the more likely it was that the heart of the tree would be empty. The big banyan tree in front of us is so huge, if it is hollow, the space in the center of the tree must be at least 100 square meters. Not to mention being able to enter and exit freely, even if a family of several people lives in it, it doesn't seem crowded.
But less than a minute after we were happy, the problem came!
Such a big tree, at least seventy or eighty meters high, will kill a few of us, I'm afraid I can't go up!
Uncle Shi said: "Actually, if you want to climb to the top of the tree, it's not impossible, just now, although I didn't find the entrance, but I found a strange place." Come with me! ”
I wondered in my heart: We have been walking together just now! Why didn't I notice anything strange?
Uncle Shi walked along the trunk of the tree to a place where the branches and vines were extremely dense. I've noticed this place just now, but it's really a little strange, where the rest is almost all slick tree trunks, but here there are a dozen ankle-thick vines sticking out.
Maybe he was just looking for the doorway in the trunk of the tree, and didn't pay much attention to the vines.
Looking at it now, these vines are indeed very strange, the color is blue-gray, and it is twisted.
I looked down the vines and saw that they did not grow from the ground, but from the base of the trunk.
The reason why I call it a tree vine is just for the convenience of calling it, in fact, this is the first time I have seen such a vine-like thing. Originally, I thought it was some herbaceous plants similar to morning glories, but because of the special environment, they grew so huge. When I explained this in my heart, I seemed to be able to barely make sense, but when I saw that the vine really came out of the trunk, I was dumbfounded.
"The trunk of the banyan tree will grow melons and vines?"
Chen Laosan asked in a muttered voice.
Look at the other end of these vines, which have been circling and winding until they are not clear.
Zhang Kailong pointed to these vines and asked his uncle: "What do you mean by the strange place?" You don't want us to climb up these melon vines, do you? ”
Uncle Shi smiled slightly, picked up a small stone from the ground, and took aim, and with a "whoosh" sound, the small stone flew towards one of the vines.
"When the ...... is long" only heard the moment when the small stone hit the vine, it made a crisp and loud sound, and it turned out to be a metal collision sound!
This crisp sound made me realize in an instant!
No way! These vines turned out to be metal. But how is this possible!
Uncle Shi walked up to the vines and tapped one of them with his fingernails, and suddenly a burst of debris scattered in all directions, and when he looked again, the color of the vines that had been knocked out changed.
It was originally blue-gray, but now it has become bronze-colored, and I instantly understood that these long chains in the shape of tree vines are actually bronze!
The shock this time was the same as when I first saw the bronze door, how unbelievable it was!
The trunk of this huge banyan tree is wrapped with such thick bronze chains, which is simply not something that can be done by humans!
Zhang Kailong looked up at these bronze chains, his face full of disbelief.
"Old man Sun! Even if these chains are bronze, then we won't be able to go up! It's so high, we're not monkeys......"
Uncle Shi didn't pay attention to Zhang Kailong, but counted the number of bronze chains, pinched his fingers and counted, and muttered something in his mouth.
A minute later, he shouted at me, "Xiao Zhen, come here!" ”
When I walked up to him, he pointed to the bronze chain halfway up the tree for me to see.
"I'll test you now, see what we Yellow River Dao people can master, how many points you can master!"
I nodded.
Uncle Shi asked me, "Looking at the number of these bronze chains and the way they are intertwined, can you see any doorways?" ”
I said in my heart: What kind of person am I from the Yellow River Dao, within a few minutes of meeting the master, he died with a whimper. My brother has taught me to meditate for a week, so how much can I learn in a week?
The only thing that makes me feel sorry is that after all, we ate the dragon eggs that are very mysterious, and we can memorize those scriptures by heart.
