5. The Sacred Tree (II)
My curiosity sparked, and I moved my hands and feet to learn from Yang Xiaoqi and began to prepare to climb the tree.
Although the height of the tree in front of me was a little beyond imagination, I quickly climbed to the branch where Yang Xiaoqi was staying. I am secretly glad that the naughty skills I cultivated when I was a child have not fallen.
"What is it?" I grabbed the branch, fixed my body and asked him.
Yang Xiaoqi sighed and whispered to me, "Do you see something hanging on the canopy?" ”。
I looked in the direction he was pointing, and all I could see was a dense mass of wide, leafy leaves. I don't know what kind of tree it is, the leaves are dense and wide, blocking most of my view.
However, through the gaps between the leaves, you can still see something hanging from the branches above.
If you look closely, there are quite a few things hanging there, and those things are black, of different lengths, and they look very weird when there is no wind in the trees.
"Could it be the fruit of this tree?" I'm not sure.
"Probably not. I look like a corpse," Yang Xiaoqi said softly.
"Corpses?" I looked at him and said, "Don't scare me, who would hang a corpse so high?" ”。
Yang Xiaoqi whispered to me: "You wait here, I'll go up and see the situation." If something is wrong, you immediately slide down the rope. ”。
I nodded and told him to be careful.
Yang Xiaoqi responded, biting the dagger in his mouth and slowly crawling towards it.
The branch we had sacrificed was still a dozen meters away from the area, and he was very skilled, and in a few moments he was able to burrow into the secret leaf layer of the canopy. I could only see him through the cracks.
Soon, his voice came from above, "Come up and see".
My heart tightened, and I climbed up in his direction.
When you enter the canopy, the light dims, but fortunately it is daytime, so you can't see it.
When I saw the hanging items on it, I was even more shocked that they were actually corpses, humanoid corpses.
"This is a burial tomb." Yang Xiaoqi just said such a simple sentence, but I was surprised.
"You mean, this whole tree is a tomb?" I looked at him and asked.
He nodded and said, yes, this should be a kind of hanging burial, maybe the source of the hanging burial is here.
The canopy of the tree is large, and the corpses hanging on it are densely packed with a lot. Almost all of them have been air-dried, and the surface is black and looks like sun-dried bacon. We looked around carefully, and there was nothing left of the corpses except for the uncomfortable feeling of the corpses. There is no written record of the entire tree, so there is no way to verify whether the tree is a tomb or not.
After looking at it for a while, and finding nothing noteworthy, Yang Xiaoqi began to look at the entire jungle.
The height of this tree is amazing, I think it must be at least 30 meters or more, which is close to the height of a ten-story building, and I have never seen such a magical tree in reality.
Because of the height, our vision has become very wide, and we can see our camp not far away.
Yang Xiaoqi took the telescope and watched around, searching for something.
"It's almost ten o'clock now, and the morning is about to pass. The surroundings were very quiet, and there was still no signal from Qi Yuying. I think it's up to us to find that space-time turbulence. Yang Xiaoqi said while watching.
I ignored his words, and all my thoughts were drawn to a corpse.
Seeing that I was speechless, Yang Xiaoqi looked back at me and asked me what was wrong?
I said, "Look at this corpse, it seems that there is something strange about it. ”。
He immediately became vigilant and came to my side, "What's wrong?" ”。
I pointed to the corpse and said, "Look, although the corpse looks like a human, if you look closely, it's definitely not human. You see, the tail vertebrae are a little too long."
"Could it be someone else's chicken chop that you saw?" Yang Xiaoqi's words almost made me laugh out loud, looking at his face, he was still very serious, not joking at all.
"Do you have a problem with your eyes? Your JB grows in the back. I think it's more like the tail of this thing. I gave him a blank look and continued, "Also, look at the corpse's face, look carefully. ”。
"What?" He looked at me puzzled, then began to look at the corpse's face, and after a few moments he noticed something unusual.
Hiss.....
Yang Xiaoqi gasped, then looked at me in surprise, and said incredulously: "Scales."
Yes, the corpse's face was covered with scales, black, and although it had been pasted to the face, it could be clearly seen that it was scales.
"The other corpses are the same," Yang Xiaoqi said, pointing around.
"Do you remember that dream we had last night?" I looked at him and asked.
"You mean that scaly face we dreamed of yesterday?" He said with a frown.
I nodded, "I think the dream we had yesterday must have something to do with this tree." Maybe it's the strange magnetic field that the tree emits that causes us to have the same dreams. ”
"It's also possible." Yang Xiaoqi said uncertainly: "Who do you think will build this hanging tomb?" ”。
I shook my head and said I don't know, but obviously not human. It must be another civilization that we don't know about.
"Most likely the original inhabitants of this Yinyang Island." Yang Xiaoqi said.
Hearing him say this, I was inexplicably a little scared, and asked him softly, "You say, will they have offspring?" ”。
When Yang Xiaoqi heard what I said, he also shuddered, looked at me and scolded: "You crow's mouth, don't talk nonsense." I don't look at what the place is. ”
He ignored me and began to search the area with a telescope again.
I thought about it, too, I don't know what danger these scaly things will be, so it's better not to exist.
With that in mind, I began to search the area with him with my goggles. But there was nothing to see here but leaves. After looking at it for a while, I only felt that my eyes hurt, and I felt that everywhere I looked was the same.
"It seems that we can only use this tree as a coordinate and carve a mark on the compass, although it is easy to get lost, but there is nothing left in the end..... Wait" He stopped suddenly, as if something had caught his attention.
"Look at the pattern of a yin-yang fish there." Yang Xiaoqi asked, pointing to an area in front of him.
I looked in the direction he pointed, and there was still a green jungle, spread like a carpet, and I couldn't see anything unusual.
Yang Xiaoqi reminded me on the side: "Don't look directly, you follow the white stone over there, and look at you along the direction of the stone, there is a small lake there, which is the location of the two fish's eyes." ”。
I saw both of these places he said, no matter how you look at them, they are very ordinary things, and they don't look like yin and yang fish at all.
"The yin-yang fish should be divided into two colors, but you see that there is nothing but green and green. Are you reading it wrong? I asked as I looked at him suspiciously.
Yang Xiaoqi became excited and said, "You can't be mistaken, haven't you noticed?" The sunlight reflected a completely different light in that area. One side is dark, and the other side is bright and a little harsh. Look closely. ”
Hearing him say this, I once again put away my spirit and observed. After a while, I really saw a clue.
"What's going on? Why is this happening? I wondered. There was nothing around the jungle to block the sun, and there were no clouds in the sky. But that area is indeed divided into two reflective planes, as Yang Xiaoqi said.
Yang Xiaoqi thought for a while. "I think it has something to do with the variety of trees. Broad-leaved plants and conifers will not reflect the same amount of sunlight. ”。
I couldn't help but admire Yang Xiaoqi's mind, nodded and asked him what to do next?
He looked very excited, and while recording the symbols on the compass, he urged me, "Go back and inform them of the flying mirrors." If I'm not mistaken, that area is supposed to be where the space-time turbulence is located. ”。
"At least, close to that place," he muttered in a low voice at the end.
The two of us immediately went down the tree, and as soon as we got under the tree, another exciting news happened.
In the distance of the jungle, a pillar of red smoke like a dragon is slowly rising.
That's a column of smoke that can only be emitted by a smoke ball.
Qi Yuying: They have an echo. I immediately decided in my mind that it would happen.
