"Could it be, in this tree?" Yuki Sakura said on a whim.

"What are you kidding, there's a treasure in the tree, isn't the tree dead!" Wang Kai pouted.

"You're uneducated, aren't you?" Xue Ying smirked, "As the saying goes, a tree is afraid of hurting its bark, not afraid of hollowness, the tree's nutrient transmission pipes are in the outer ring, and it doesn't matter if the wood core inside is empty." ”

As she spoke, Xue Sakura raised her feet and kicked at the giant sequoia tree, a tree with a diameter of nearly five meters, and she couldn't kick it at all.

"It doesn't seem to be a hollow ......," Yukizakura frowned.

"Even if you do, you can't kick it out." I looked up at the canopy of the trees, the dense clumps of foliage, completely obscuring the sky.

"How old can this tree be?" I crossed my waist and muttered to myself.

"Chen Yang, come over here." Li Qingzhao went around the back of the tree and called me.

I turned around, Li Qingzhao had already retreated more than ten meters under the tree, raised his hand and pointed to the trunk of the tree, which was about ten meters high, where the bark of the tree had been peeled off, and there seemed to be words on it.

"Can you see what it is?" I asked.

Li Qingzhao nodded: "It's a poem, the handwriting is no longer legible, but the inscription can still be distinguished." ”

"Oh? Whose poems? I asked.

Li Qingzhao looked at me and smiled: "It's related to you, guess what?" ”

“…… Li bai? "I asked, I have something to do with poetry, only Ziyangmen has something to do with poetry.

Li Qingzhao nodded: "It is your ancestral master, there is his mark on the payment, and there is still time: the sixth year of Kaiyuan." ”

"What year is that?" I frowned, I haven't studied this founder of Ziyangmen in depth.

"In the sixth year of Kaiyuan...... Li Qingzhao pinched his fingers and calculated, "It should be 718 AD, at that time, Taibai Xianzun was only eighteen years old, living in seclusion in Daitian Dakuang Mountain to study, and often traveled around, probably wandering here and leaving a poem." ”

"Wow, then my ancestor is very good at light skills, flying so high to write poems?" I laughed.

"Are you stupid!" Xue Ying came over and knocked me on the head, "It's been more than a thousand years, this tree will grow, maybe the ancestor was standing under the tree and carved it!" ”

"Reasonable," Li Qingzhao nodded, "Although the characters are stretched out and cannot be recognized, the strokes can still be vaguely distinguished, and they are engraved with a sword. ”

"Why do you call him Taibai Immortal Venerable?" I asked Li Qingzhao.

"Because he's a 'poet immortal'!" Xue Ying smiled, "I can memorize all the poems of Master Zu!" ”

"Then you're blowing," I pouted, pointing to the trunk, "this one, can you recite which poem?" ”

In the process of traveling, I felt that I wrote a poem casually, maybe Li Bai himself couldn't remember it, let alone be included in the anthology by later generations.

Yan Xueying was speechless, because Li Qingzhao was present, she had to ask for the master's face, so she kicked me seriously as a punishment.

"Don't make trouble with you little couple," Li Qingzhao knows how to read minds, and naturally looks at the fire, "I call him Immortal Venerable, but because we often meet each other and call each other respectful, he also calls me 'Yi'an Immortal Venerable'." ”

"Huh?" Yan Xueying and I were surprised at the same time, "He's still alive?" ”

"Uh-huh," Li Qingzhao nodded, "Last time, you beat me in chess, and I went back to the fairy world to tell him about you, and I think you are very smart." ”

"Really! That Li Bai ...... What did my grandfather say? I asked excitedly.

"He didn't say anything, I think you are a disciple of Ziyang Sect, you are still qualified, I will show him the game with you, after reading it, Xianzun said that your chess strength is still lacking some heat, if you can do 'heaven, earth and people', or you can inherit the position of the head of Ziyang."

I suddenly realized that Xia Liangyue and Wang Xiaochuan passed the position of head to me from generation to generation, because of Li Bai's will, Li Bai may disdain to come to the world, but he asked Li Qingzhao to come over and convey it, and when I was toasting with the teacher, I inadvertently toasted the wine of "heaven, earth and people" twice (respect for heaven, earth and earth, and take a sip of myself), Li Qingzhao was present and watched, so Xia Liangyue would push the boat down the river and give me the position of head of the house.

I said: "Immortal Venerable, please tell my ancestor after you return to the immortal world, I will definitely live up to my mission, carry forward his old man's Ziyang Gate, and spread his fame all over the world...... No, fame in the Six Realms! ”

The Six Realms are naturally much larger than the "Four Seas".

"Hehe, whether you can do it or not, this sounds very uplifting, I will definitely convey it!" Li Qingzhao said with a smile.

Speaking of which, I regret it a little, this is a little too big.

Don't worry about it for now, the top priority is to find the entrance to Loulan's treasure, I don't have much interest in the treasure itself, it's not bad for money, but the magic soldiers that Wang Kai said, I'm very interested, and I want to take it for my own use.

Since, as early as when Master Li Baizu was young, this tree was here, and it was already very tall at that time, otherwise, the place where the words were engraved would not have grown only ten meters high, which shows that before the Loulan treasure was buried, perhaps this tree was already a towering tree.

Then, the theory that Xue Sakura said that the trunk is hollow may be true.

Unfortunately, Qi observation is not an X-ray and cannot be seen through.

"Why don't you make a hole in the trunk?" Yuki Sakura and I agree that this tree has a lot to do with treasures.

"No......" I frowned and thought about it, if the Loulan people really put the treasure in the tree back then, they would definitely have to open a hole, the tree is not like a mountain, it is a living thing, and if the hole is opened, it can't be repaired to the original state, unless it ......

"Unless they make the hole, not below, but at the very top of the trunk, then the hole will be blocked by branches and leaves, and who will climb to the top of this big tree to find the hole?"

The reason why I have this idea is related to Ma Yu, because the tree hole that we snapped before is similar to this, the tree hole was discovered by a lynx, and if you don't look deliberately, it is difficult to see the hole from the ground.

"Yukisakura, do you know how to climb trees?" I asked.

"No, but I'll do it."

Light work is useless, the trunk is relatively smooth, there is no focus point, the snow cherry is long, about more than ten meters high, but the lowest branch is also at a position of thirty meters, she can't jump, and she can't stand.

I ran back to Xu Xingye and them, borrowed two daggers, held them in both hands, and stabbed them on the trunk of the tree one by one, and climbed up.

If it was before, with the strength of my arms, I couldn't climb up a few meters and had to fall, but now it's different, I will use True Qi, two strands of True Qi are infused into my arms, even if my feet are suspended in the air and I don't exert force, I can climb very easily, just like going up the stairs.

Soon, I climbed to a height of ten meters and looked at the poem of my grandfather up close, and sure enough, there was a mark, and the words "six years of Kaiyuan".

I looked down,, so high, a little dizzy!

Slowly, he continued to climb, and climbed to the lowest branch more than thirty meters high in one breath.

The trunk is very thick, and the branches on it are also very thick, more than a meter in diameter, I sit on the branches, and then look down, they are as small as ants, and then look up, from here to the top of the tree, there is at least fifty meters away, smoke a cigarette, I continue to climb, but this time I walk in a spiral, I have to climb while observing whether there are any marks of openings on the trunk.

After climbing about 20 meters, the diameter of the trunk here has shrunk to about three meters, and still nothing is found.

I was about to go to a nearby tree branch to rest for a while, when suddenly, the knife in my right hand did not pier in, as if it was piercing on steel, and at the same time as I pierced the knife in my right hand, the knife in my left hand was pulled out, so that I lost my focus and my body slid straight down!

Fortunately, I reacted quickly, and before I could reach two meters down, I used my double knives to plunge into the trunk of the tree above my head at the same time, and after the knife cut two holes more than 20 centimeters long on the trunk, I fixed it.

What was the pier on just now, is it a "tree nodule"?

It's not like, I pierced the tree tumor before, although it is very hard, but with my strength, I can also pier in and fix it, so that there is no effect on a pier, there must be a foreign body under the bark!

I climbed up again, this time carefully to make sure that at least one knife was stable in the trunk, and soon returned to that position, and once again tested the hardness, my left hand was fixed, and the knife in my right hand peeled back the bark layer by layer, a copper plate, which gradually came into view, on which there were no words, but the outline of a human face with closed eyes in relief.

The more I looked at this face, the more familiar it felt, as if I had seen it somewhere.

was frowning and recalling, and suddenly, those eyes actually opened......
