One hundred and twenty-nine, the sacred tree
"Big brother, I'm going to die." I want to try to make the people up there climb as fast as possible.
"What's the hurry, aren't I going to climb again?" At the top was Wu Ming, who climbed down upside down, with a one-armed Adu, so the speed was very slow.
Lowering its head, the huge snake was still coiled on the stone statue, spitting snake hyacinth and wriggling, and the stone statue left a wet mark where it had crawled.
"Yinman, Yinman!" I'm in a hurry.
"What are you doing?" Hu Yinman was unhurried, she raised her head and glanced at me, "Don't scream so disgusting." ”
I couldn't cry or laugh: "Sister Hu, can I leave a last word?" ”
"Are you full?" She gave me a blank look.
"I'm afraid!" I say.
"Afraid of what? Isn't this the old lady for you, people say that the peony flower is also a ghost and a ghost. You are a peony flower on the death, I guess it's about the same. ”
I said, "Fart, I don't care, it's on the flower or under the flower, what I care about is whether I can be a merry ghost!" ”
"Yes!" Hu Yinman smiled brightly, and his eyes narrowed into a crescent moon.
"The snake is a mother's, you go, don't lose." She said.
"Damn, have you ever seen a snake like this?" I asked, a little miserably.
"That's right, that's it!" Hu Yinman panted and said: "Yi folklore has a legend that there is a demon named Baha Congduo pressed under the stone in West Africa, and this demon is the ancestor of all snakes. It is said that this ancient snake has the power of immortality, if you cut off its snake head, it will grow another snake head from the body, and once every 100 years, its shed skin can cure all diseases if it is soaked in wine. ”
"How is this a bit similar to Wu Ming's situation?" I asked.
"There are more or less reasons for this ghost thing to appear here, and my situation, but where this reason comes from, I'm afraid only the top of the tree will have an answer." Wu Ming's voice came from above.
", big brother, are you cheating on us?"
I had climbed to the shoulders of the stone statue, and when I lowered my head, the Bach began to crawl up in a "U" shape with both heads.
Its two heads retract back and forth, racing upwards.
"It's here!"
Suddenly, I heard the kind voice of God standing in heaven.
"Great, my brother, I knew you could find a way out." I was overjoyed.
By this time, Wu Ming had climbed to the top of the statue of the Ghost Mother, and I saw that the top of the statue was connected to the roof of the temple, and the bricks on the roof had been smashed into a large hole by something.
This is not good, this is the way out that my grandfather left in the first place.
After a while, Wu Ming had already pushed Adu up, and then climbed up with all his might.
"Hurry, hurry, hurry."
I stood on the stone statue, pulled Hu Yinman, and pushed her up first.
But at this moment, the demon wind behind him protruded......
My scalp exploded, and I subconsciously dodged, and suddenly I saw the huge Baha slashing past my eyes.
"Come up." Hu Yinman roared.
At the last moment, I jumped up, and she and Wu Ming grabbed one of my hands and pulled me up with all the force.
The heart was beating wildly in his chest, and the sound of the stone statue collapsing could be heard from under the roof, and then the bricks and tiles inside began to shake and crack.
The roar is endless.
"Get out of here."
Adu ran over and grabbed me by the collar and dragged me back a few steps, and we were away from the right and wrong place.
"Whew, whew." I looked up and tried to breathe in the fresh air outside, and suddenly I realized how good it was to be alive.
But at this moment, the haunting thing also rushed up, and all the bricks and tiles of the roof were broken.
The head of the snake resembles a giant sea monster that undulates on the sea level.
We looked at the snake head that appeared in our hearts, although we were afraid, we didn't dare to stay for a moment.
"Run, run, follow me!" Wu Ming shouted.
I gritted my teeth and raced on the roof as the bricks cracked behind me, and the monster broke through.
"Keep running, you see." Adu pointed ahead.
I saw the trunk of the giant tree a few miles away from the roof.
"The Sacred Tree."
After getting closer, we found out that the trunk of this tree was not actually one, but thousands of trunks, and it should not be said that the trunks of countless roots were densely twisted together to grow.
The trunk of the tree was brown overall, and the green moss was scattered on it, which was the mottled marks left by time and time on the roots of the tree. And what's even more incredible is that the area of this tree is so large, a tree, like a tropical rainforest.
"This is the Sacred Tree! Oh, my God! This is the sacred tree. Adu began to speak incoherently.
I watched Adu run with one hand, and his body couldn't grasp his balance several times, staggering, and said brother, be careful.
After a long run, the undying Baha behind him came from the wind and clouds mixed with tiles, but fortunately, the roof of this temple was not very strong after the wind and rain, and the guy climbed and fell, struggled several times, but could not catch up with us.
As we got closer and closer to the giant tree, I saw that at the intersection of the sacred tree and the temple, at a height of three meters above my head, there was an arc-shaped tree hole, which was obviously naturally formed, without a trace of artificial digging.
However, from the roof to the tree hole, there is a wooden ladder built on it, on which many lamps and human skulls are placed, which are densely crowded on this narrow wooden ladder, which really shows the worship and reverence of ancient humans for the gods.
"Here we go again!"
Listening to Hu Yinman's words, I turned around and saw Baha Congduo behind me, not giving up at this time, still approaching little by little.
A few of us jumped over the wooden ladder and climbed up with our hands and feet, the steps of the big tree staircase were not very high, and in a short time we reached the hollow of the tree.
"Jump!"
The voice behind him was getting louder and louder.
I didn't know it well, so I listened to Hu Yinman's words and jumped in.
Almost at the same moment, Hu Yinman landed on top of me, and I rolled on the ground with her in my arms, and then I heard a "boom" coming from outside the tree hole.
The serpent's entire body slammed into the tree, and all the dust fell from the trunk.
I was sweating on my head, thinking to myself that it was really unheard of for such a huge snake to not be able to hit a tree.
"Squeak, squeak." The huge snake outside the tree hole spat out the snake letter, but it was still unwilling, and hit the tree of heaven like madness.
But under such a huge tree, there is undoubtedly a feeling that a grasshopper shakes a big tree.
Looking at the scene in front of us, we breathed a sigh of relief to each other and began to take a serious look at the place, observing this legendary sacred tree.
If you look closely, you can see that this tree is really different from the rest of the trees, and it has circles of flames on its inside, as if it is the light diffused by the sun.
And the bark inside is also unusually rough, but this is nothing, the miraculous thing is that more than 30 meters above I actually saw a small branch emerge.
"Grow inward?" I was surprised: "Could it be a self-repair?" It's like a gecko can grow back with a broken tail? In that case, can the plant still be considered a tree? ”
The rest of the people didn't speak, still immersed in the inner workings of the tree. Even Wu Ming is the same, presumably he woke up groggily and escaped all the way with his grandfather, and he was extremely unfamiliar with this place!
I shone it up with my flashlight, and as I looked up, I realized that the tree really seemed to be an endless upward extension, with no head or top.
"Don't look, let's go inside! What's inside is the shock! Wu Ming patted me.
I came back to my senses and began to walk inside.
But the further we went, the more we found that the inside of the tree was completely detached from our concept of plants.
I was shaking in the depths of my heart because ......
Because its interior has actually generated a separate world.
This is a real sea of plants, no dirt, no stones, all plants grow from the inside of the sacred tree.
Green pine, red birch, yew, and mountain flowers are mixed, and the fir trees that stand bald in the trees, as well as the sylvestris pine, red spruce, and birch are particularly eye-catching.
I watched all this in amazement, their growth is against the laws of nature, it is not in line with the plant survival system, because it is completely a plant that grows in two regions, just like a white woman is pregnant and gives birth to twins, one white and one black.
Bamboo shoots that rise from the ground, cacti that can only be seen in the desert, and aloe vera grow here.
The ancient trees are covered with moss and fungi, and wild Ganoderma lucidum and Polygonum multiflorum can be found everywhere.
The willow branches, bent by the dense foliage, create a natural aisle with a variety of fallen leaves, interlaced trunks, and layers of branches and leaves.
While we stepped on the thick plants, we walked forward, Adu and Hu Yinman bent down to collect as many medicinal plants as possible, which are all natural treasures produced by the aura of heaven and earth, and they are supreme supplements!
When he looked up, he suddenly saw a flock of birds flying over from the hollow trunk of the sacred tree, and those birds were dragging their long tails, and they looked like rainbows in the light of the flashlight.
Archaeopteryx? Flying geese? We saw a wide variety of birds in the light.
"Beware!" Wu Ming reminded me, but instead of pounced, he kicked it.
Then a huge insect flew over my head.
"Dragonfly?" I was surprised.
The dragonfly was the size of a seagull, with an astonishingly long wingspan, and it glided low, folded its wings, and stopped in the woods, staring at us with a pair of laughing eyes.
I was startled, knowing that none of these giant creatures were to be trifled with, so I quickly removed the light from the flashlight.
Now, as we go deeper, this ancient and mysterious area comes alive.
"I don't know that this tree has existed on the earth for hundreds of millions of years, and those creatures that strayed into it have gradually passed on here." Adu said: "In the past hundreds of millions of years, there may have been humans who strayed into this place and gradually leaked the news about the tree. ”
"On Earth?" I smiled: "Is this really on Earth?" In my opinion, it's just a separate space. ”
As I walked, I tripped under my feet, and I lowered my head and swept it with a flashlight, and suddenly realized that it was a corpse.
The flow of time here is different from other places, and we cannot determine the time of the person's death. I just saw that this guy's head was pecked out of a hole, and it was completely unclear what his face looked like.
And the most terrifying thing is......
It's this guy who has actually started to grow plants on his body, and I know that these plants will grow anywhere with nutrients, but I never thought that plants would grow on people's bodies.
Mom, just thinking about it makes my scalp tingle.
"It's the one who came in back then!" Wu Ming said.
"Back then?" I thought of the Japanese army plan for 45 years, "So is he Japanese or ours?" ”
I thought as I crouched down and rummaged through his backpack, but in this kind of place, not to mention the backpack, even the corpses began to grow plants. The backpack is also corroded, and no useful information can be extracted.
"How do you find Asuke's father?" I was stunned for a moment.
Adu did not speak.
"Don't flip, there's a sound." Hu Yinman, suddenly picked up the gun and burrowed into the bushes.
"What?" My heart sank, and I hid.
The group just looked at the place where the voice came from.
But......
Half a bell later, a platypus emerged from the grass, and it looked at us like a curious baby, and its eyes rolled back into the jungle.
Me: "......"
Hu Yinman: "......"
However, Adu found some clues, and after the platypus walked away, he suddenly said: "No, the platypus inhabits rivers and lakes, how can it come here when it usually likes to burrow and live on the water's edge?" ”
I smiled and said, "Maybe there's a stream here!" ”
"Water? Crazy! Adu said.
As he spoke, he heard a small voice in his ear.
"Whoa, whoa, whoa."
The sound of flowing water?
The four of us looked at each other, but neither of us spoke.
It's just that by coincidence, walking along the source of the sound, and picking up the dense imperial bamboo grass that is more than one person high, a river really appeared in front of our eyes.
In the middle of the river, the streams are criss-crossed, and the water is surging.
"I was so happy that I couldn't care so much about ......it, so I jumped straight in, and the stream here was crystal clear, and it was completely clear that the river channel was actually a groove in the trunk of a tree, but it was formed by the erosion of the water for thousands of years.
"You're so hasty, we don't even know where this water comes from." Hu Yinman looked at me and said to me.
I plunged my head into the water, and I saw all kinds of small fish swimming with me, and the fish opened its body gracefully in the water, allowing the fishtail to sway under the water, which was very beautiful.
"I care about him so much, my body stinks, and I won't be finished if I don't take a shower!"
I have to say that the water quality here is still excellent, otherwise there will be no aquatic life inhabiting here, I lowered my head and picked up a handful of water, and my fingertips could see the red fish, this fish has four identities, resembling peach blossoms.
"Look there are still fish!"
"Fish your sister, no culture, this is a jellyfish!" Hu Yinman glanced at me.
I was embarrassed and silent, and it didn't take me a few minutes to wash my body thoroughly, but just as I was about to go ashore, a loud voice sounded throughout the sacred tree.
All of a sudden, the place suddenly became like daylight.
"Flares?" Hu Yinman paused for a moment.
Wu Ming frowned, "Someone is coming." ”
