The tree was like it was made of iron, it was covered with the smell of rust, and it felt very hard to the touch, and its crown and excess branches seemed to have been cut off, leaving only an almost straight trunk, if it weren't for the texture of the bark and the huge swollen root system at the foot of the tree, Wu Lin and I would probably have taken it as an ordinary iron pillar.

Wu Lin seemed to suddenly think of something, quickly lay on the tree, repeatedly smelled the iron smell emanating from the tree, and after a while, he turned back to me and said, "This is not the smell of rust, it is the smell of dried blood." ”

It was only after he reminded me that the smell emanating from the iron tree was exactly the same as the faint smell of blood I had smelled before.

The taste of blood and rust is inherently similar because hemoglobin contains iron. Especially when the blood is dry, the difference between the taste and rust is very small.

It's just that the tree is covered with rust, so when I smell it in front of the tree, I naturally think it's rust.

It was precisely because he saw this iron tree with his own eyes that Wu Lin remembered that he had seen a description in the complete document, saying that there was a tree in the fairy cave that could absorb fresh blood, and this kind of tree was very similar to an ordinary birch tree before it sucked up blood, but after it sucked up human blood, the surface would become very hard, like steel, and the original markings on the tree would also become rusty.

And the root system of this tree is particularly well developed and can extend tens of kilometers underground.

Wu Lin clasped his hands and said thoughtfully: "I remember that this kind of tree seems to have a very special name, it seems to be called ...... Come to think of it, the document says that the ancient name of this tree is 'corpse guard', and now it is extinct. ”

Corpse guard? The "Iron Tree Blossoming" array on the "Book of Luban" is said to have been designed by Lu Ban when he saw the corpse tree in a dream, so he was inspired, but the book only mentioned this corpse tree, and there is no detailed record.

I don't know if the "corpse guarding tree" that Lu Ban dreamed of and the "corpse guarding tree" in Wu Lin's mouth are the same thing.

I asked Wu Lin: "Do you remember why this tree is mentioned in Buzhoushan's document, and do you remember the context?" ”

Wu Lin shook his head: "At that time, I just glanced at it in a hurry, and I can't remember it clearly." ”

I still wouldn't give up: "Do you know what's on the top of this tree?" ”

Wu Lin still shook his head.

I looked back at Li Huaishan, who raised his hand and pointed to the top of the tree: "There is only this way." ”

Indeed, when I was looking towards the burial pit just now, I saw that the pit was surrounded by stone walls, and now we had no other way to go but to climb up the corpse tree.

I took out the trekking pegs and trekking hammer, tried to put nails on the tree, and hung the trekking rope on the side, but I didn't expect the bark to be much tougher than I imagined, I hit the nail head several times in a row, and the nail head hit the bark of the tree, and a large spark collapsed, but until the nail head was smashed by me, and the surface of the iron tree was only a small piece of damage.

Xiao Hei reminded me that I could try the teeth, so I pulled out the teeth and tried to cut the bark twice.

There was no evil spirit on this tree, but as soon as the tooth blade touched it, it instantly became sharp, not to mention hard iron, and the steel cut by the teeth was like cutting tofu, and I only needed a little force, and the whole tooth body was submerged in the bark.

I asked Xiao Hei what was going on, and Xiao Hei said that this tree also had a unique smell of the Netherworld and the underworld, and told me that most of the evil qi had a similar smell, but it was not so mellow, and the teeth became sharp when the evil qi was encountered, in fact, it was also because of the smell of this smell.

By the time Xiao Hei told me this, a faint blue glow had already appeared on his teeth, which used to only shine when it encountered a very strong evil qi.

Seriously, I found that Hei was smarter than I thought he was, but Hei might be as stupid as I thought. When Xiao Hei was talking to me, he stood on the sidelines, completely confused, like a little fool.

I first used my fangs to cut a deep groove in the corpse tree, and the mountaineering nail was easy to drive into, so I nailed and hung the rope all the way, and it didn't take long before and after, I climbed to the top of the tree with the big black and the hammer on my back, Wu Lin jumped up after me, Li Huaishan and the others were a little slower, and it was estimated that it would take a while to come up.

Wu Lin held a flashlight, swept the light back and forth on the top of the tree, what I saw under the tree before, it was a very thick stone cover, when Wu Lin hit the light on the lid, I could also see that the lid was hollowed out and carved out of two handle-like things.

Then Wu Lin hit the beam to the southwest, and the stone wall illuminated by the light showed a hole with a diameter of about two meters, the shape of the hole was very regular, and it was dug out artificially at a glance, and in the hole, there was a straight passage, and I saw that there seemed to be some small stone statues of foot high standing in this passage.

Since the two stone statues were standing not far from the entrance of the cave, I was sure that these canines were not stalactites, but due to years of corrosion, the surface of the stone statues had become very shallow, and it was impossible to see their original appearance.

Wu Lin said: "There should be a bridge in the middle. ”

I nodded.

Just now I noticed that there is a very short small stone platform extending outside the cave entrance, which is more than ten centimeters lower than the bottom of the cave entrance, and it is estimated that between this small stone platform and the top of the tree, there was originally a wooden bridge, because the cave entrance is round, and it is impossible to put on too wide wooden boards, so the craftsmen have built such a small stone platform there.

It's just that after so many years, the bridge made of wood has long since rotted.

Li Huaishan and the others hadn't come up yet, Wu Lin and I looked at the entrance of the cave for a while, but didn't find anything abnormal, so we turned our attention to the big stone cover at our feet.

I leaned over the ground and knocked on the base of the stone cover with a sapper shovel.

Whoop - Whoop –

The percussion was loud and hollow, and I suspect that it must be a relatively large cavity under the stone lid.

I asked Wu Lin, "Do you want to open it and take a look?" ”

Wu Lin shook off casually: "It's up to you." ”

He said this, but his eyes kept on the base of the stone cover, apparently like looking at what was underneath.

Taking advantage of the fact that there was no one now, I asked the biggest doubt in my heart: "Wu Lin, you followed me into the Immortal Cave this time, not to find the quadruple space, right?" ”

Wu Lin nodded: "I came this time just to do Zuo Youdao a favor." ”

When he said this, I was a little confused: "What do you mean? ”

Wu Lin's answer was still confusing: "I suspect that what is hidden in the immortal cave may be the key to suppressing that person." ”

"Suppress whom?"

"A man who can't speak."

"Why did you suddenly remember to help Zuo Youdao?"

"When I help him, I actually help myself, and there are some things that I need to help me solve with the hand of Zuo Youdao."

"What's the matter?"

"Secrecy for now."

You've been talking for a long time, isn't that like saying nothing?

I was silent for a moment, and then asked, "Have you fought with Zuo Youdao?" ”

Wu Lin nodded.

"How is he?"

"Very strong, among the people I have seen, he is the most powerful one besides Yu Heng and that person. But don't be discouraged, the gap between you and Zuo Youdao is getting smaller and smaller now. ”

Speaking of this, Wu Lin seemed to suddenly remember something, and added: "If you are not, none of these people around you can be worthy of you, and the people around Zuo Youdao are not worthy of him, if you have the opportunity in the future, you can try to team up with him." ”

I sighed: "It's not like I haven't thought about this kind of thing, but Zuo Youdao is busy dealing with the Funeral Sect, how can he have time to take care of my business." ”

Wu Lin nodded first, and after a moment, he spoke again: "It is estimated that the Soul Village and the Burial Sect will soon start a frontal war, if Zuo Youdao loses, his share of responsibility will soon fall on you and Gai Dong." ”

I was also shocked: "Do you still know about Gaidong?" ”

"I've heard of it, but I haven't seen it."

Wu Lin replied briefly, and then closed his mouth, obviously not wanting to continue the conversation on the topic at hand.

At this time, Li Huaishan and Huang Yuzhong had already climbed to the top of the tree, so I didn't ask any more questions.

Wu Lin hit the beam on the handle of the stone cover, I stretched out my hands to grasp the handle steadily, and tried to lift it twice, the weight of the stone cover was at least about a ton and a half, I used the strength of the milk, and I could only lift it slightly, but I couldn't move it away.

However, when the stone cover was lifted slightly, a cool breeze burst out of the gap exposed at the bottom of the lid, and there was indeed a large cavity under the lid.

Li Huaishan and Huang Yuzhong originally wanted to come over to help, but I waved my hand and signaled them not to bother, such a heavy thing, it is easy to get hurt if you rush to lift it.

Later, Wu Lin took out the gun oil and sprinkled it around the stone cover, everyone first worked together to push the stone cover a little off, so that the bottom of the cover pressed on the gun grease, and then I stared at the edge of the stone cover with my shoulder, and pushed it with all my might, coupled with the lubrication effect of the gun oil, the stone cover was pushed away.

The cavity under the stone lid was smaller than I expected, a rectangular hollow, two meters long and more than half a meter wide, and from the outline, it looked like a coffin embedded in the top of a tree.

Li Huaishan punched the beam of light into the empty groove, and by the light, I saw that the walls of the groove were very rough on all sides, and the reflected light was also a little shiny.

I leaned down and tried to touch one of the walls of the trough, which was as cold as ice, and then I took out my graver and scraped a little powder off the wall.

With such a gentle scrape, a strong resentment immediately gushed out from the breach in the groove wall, and in just an instant, my mood was affected, and my whole body was full of dryness.

I didn't dare to slack off, so I immediately condensed a mouthful of mental power and relied on the Concentration Technique to stabilize my mind.
