Chapter Ninety-Six: The Twin Trees of Borneo
How to choose, we walked out of this temple, and then carefully considered whether to go to the left or to the right, the one on the left is the side with the dragon painted on the animal skin, and the one on the right is the side with the pile of treasures, now it is time to choose, first put aside which one is right and which is wrong, the end of the two paths is very likely to be the black dragon king and the treasure respectively, I think, no one should be bored enough to put such a piece of animal skin on this corpse.

After thinking about it, we made a decision, whether it is true or not, we are going to break through anyway, since this animal skin is in our possession, then we will follow the guidance of the animal skin, go to the right, maybe this is the only advice that the high priest has left for future generations.
Besides, taking the right side is not necessarily a dead end, even if we meet the Black Dragon King, we should be able to get out and come back as soon as possible and go to another one, but this is just my idea, and there is no better way for the two of them, so they believe in my decision, so we walked to the right side door, slowly pushed the door open, and then walked in.
When we walked in, we found that this was a long corridor, both sides are black high walls, about three or four meters high, the ground is also black stone bricks, the technology is also very advanced, these stone bricks are basically the same size, and then look at the corridor, we can't see the end at a glance, and this corridor is bent.
We didn't know where we could lead, so we walked cautiously, and after about half a cigarette, we noticed something different, and there was something different on the edge of these black walls, and there was something little brown growing out of the cracks in the bricks, and if I looked closely, it was hard to see that the old cat ran to the wall and called out to us: "Look! ”
This is a kind of plant, although only a little bit grows in the cracks of the bricks, but we found that these plants did not wither like those trees on Dragon King Island, and a trace of thin buds was hidden between the cracks of the bricks, what happened? All the way down, the entire Dragon King Island was dead and silent, this was our most important discovery, the old cat didn't have time to think, and said, "This is the root of the tree." ”
Roots? We looked around closely, and there were really a lot of brown plants like this in the cracks of the stone bricks, could it be that there was a tree under our feet that was not dead and still growing? So, we walked along the corridor, all the way forward, the farther we went, the thicker the roots of the trees in the cracks of the stone bricks, and some of them had already pushed out the stone bricks, until at the end, we turned a corner, and found a huge tree.
The bark of this tree is rough, the trunk is thick and hard, no one can hold it, the roots are deeply rooted in the ground, the roots are half a meter thick, deeply rooted in the stone bricks, the extended part has long been jacked out of the stone bricks, the exposed part has blocked the road of this promenade, and this tree, there is green, the whole tree looks deep and leafy, its branches are long and dense, the whole tree looks four or five stories high, at least a hundred years old.
What kind of tree is this, let's look up again, its leaves are actually diamond-shaped, no one present has any special research on plants, what kind of tree, can survive in this uninhabited and dead Dragon King Island, this tree must not be simple.
You Eighteen's eyes were good, and he suddenly shouted: "Look! In the middle of the tree there are branches of different colors. “
Hearing him say this, we all looked carefully at the branches on the tree, and really found that there were branches of different colors, and the color was the same as other plants on Dragon King Island, all of them showed a gray and withered color, as if they were broken when touched, what was going on.
The old cat was stunned, stared at the tree motionless, and then said slowly: "Have you ever heard a saying, the Bharneo double tree, half withered and half prosperous, the Borneo flower blooms, and the prosperous will decline." ”
You Eighteen and I shook our heads, is this sentence an idiom?
The old cat said: "The immortal historical records record: there are Brahma double trees in the south, planting thousands of years to collect the broken tree spirit of heaven and earth, but the world is burned down, and the end of a life is dead, the wounded tree set the deceased is not full of death, both fell into the wheel to return to the dead, obsession but helpless, read its Fanghua Emperor Jun Yunzhi, Xu does not drink Meng Po Tangxie trough to attract the soul to pay the reincarnation into reincarnation, but after rebirth, the dead tree complains about the injustice of the heavens, but the body dies, reincarnation I, the achievement of the Borneo double tree, the living tree absorbs the vitality of the living soul, and the dead tree absorbs the undead of the complainant. “
You Eighteen interrupted the old cat's words here and said, "Wait, can you explain it clearly, we don't understand what life and death." ”
The old cat said embarrassedly: "I just read the record in the history of the immortals, this book is about the mythical creatures in the world, and many of them have been confirmed to exist, so we have studied this book since we were children, in case of trouble, but I didn't expect this to really exist, this is a creature that is ten thousand times more valuable than the tyrant leech, this is a sacred tree." ”
The more I listened, the more I didn't understand, so I asked, "What kind of sacred tree, is this a tree of the same level as the god of the sea?" ”
The old cat nodded and said: "Almost, this sacred tree is called the Borneo tree, the legend is that the Buddha Shakyamuni Nirvana is in the world, the Borneo tree is called the Borneo double tree because it is two trees growing together, so it is also called the Borneo double tree, the legendary Borneo double tree gathered the essence of heaven and earth to cultivate the god body, and was burned to death by humans as a monster, and the other was unwilling, so he took the dead tree soul together under the reincarnation, the emperor saw their pity, so they were exempted from drinking Meng Po soup, after rebirth, the new body of the Borneo double tree is still accompanied by it, until I have consciousness again, I remembered what happened in the previous life, the Brahmana tree resents human beings, and they have the power of extraordinary human rivals, when awakened, the tree will absorb the essence of the world's living beings, and the dead tree will suck up the souls of all the dead souls, all the creatures that are sucked by the Brahmana tree will be sick and painful when they are born, and the soul will not be able to get rid of it after death, so it is also called the magic tree. ”
The old cat continued: "Although I don't know if the legend is true, after all, the legends are all fictionalized and exaggerated, so we can't believe it all, don't we have nothing at all now, maybe we haven't been on Longwang Island for a long time, so there is no negative situation in the body, but I think if we live on Longwang Island for a long time, it will definitely not be good." ”
Indeed, the mythical story that the old cat said was full of gods, but I couldn't believe it all, I suddenly thought of a question, so I asked: "Old cat, do you see if there is such a possibility, this Borneo double tree, will it be the reason why the dragon king island has no vitality, the Borneo double tree sucks the essence of other plants on the dragon king island, so it causes withering, and even the dead branches show a gray color." ”
The old cat nodded and said, "Most likely, maybe this is the reason why the plants on Dragon King Island are withering." ”
You 18 asked: "Who planted this Borneo tree here, this is clearly to destroy Longwang Island, is this also the reason for the extermination of the aborigines on Longwang Island?" Maybe the reason for the black bones of the aborigines is also because of this tree, if the aborigines are still alive, maybe it will be our fifty-seventh nation. ”
While we were discussing, we looked up at this mysterious and real sacred tree, and couldn't help but sigh, and inadvertently, You Eighteen pointed to the top of the Borneo Twin Tree and said, "Look there, is there something?" ”
Following the direction You Eighteen pointed, I really couldn't see what it was, but the old cat took out the binoculars, looked in that direction, and said in surprise: "There really is, it's a bell, that seems to be..."
The old cat was halfway through his words, and then he said, "Take it down quickly." ”
As soon as the old cat said this, I knew that there must be some secret to the bell he was talking about, and I was the best of the three of us, so I said, "I'll go up." ”
You 18 said: "Okay, I can't climb anyway, you be careful, don't fall." ”
I rolled my eyes, and then I climbed up along the trunk of the tree, I didn't feel anything when I first climbed, when I climbed high, I looked back and looked down, and suddenly I was a little dizzy, it seems that I haven't been on such a high place for too long, I don't look down in order to prevent myself from being dizzy, I see that I am getting closer and closer to the bell, until there is still a distance of two or three meters from the bell, at this time, I found that there is a pair of eyes staring at me strangely inside the branch.
I was so frightened that I almost fell off, but fortunately I am not the first person to be so frightened, I came back to my senses and took a closer look, there was a corpse inside the branch, and this corpse had not been dead for a long time, and then look at his clothes, the equipment is relatively complete, and there is a submachine gun hanging on his body, is this person in the team that came to the Dragon King Hall before us?
When You Eighteen and the old cat below saw me like this, they immediately shouted nervously: "What's the situation, Lao Zhu, is there anything wrong?" ”
I responded by shouting, "Don't worry, it's okay." ”
When I looked closely, there was more than one skeleton in the branch, and there were all kinds of old age in it, and I couldn't help but shudder, I didn't know why they died here, and I didn't know where something always felt wrong, and my heart was extremely uneasy.
So I increased my climb, and when I could reach the spot, I noticed a red flower on the top of the sacred tree, showing a budding state.
The people below saw that I was in a daze again, so they asked me again, "What's wrong!" What a discovery! ”
I shouted down, "There's a red flower on this tree." ”
When the old cat heard me say that there was a red flower growing on it, he quickly shouted, "Take the bell and come down." ”
So I grabbed the bell, and found that it was hanging on the branch, and I pulled it down with a gentle tug, and just as I was about to climb down, I suddenly found that the red bud was in full bloom, and it was very bright.
