Chapter 19: The Seven Stars Escape
Hearing the old cat say this, everyone present showed a surprised expression, I was also puzzled, the place I just came into, according to the little girl, is a very sinister feng shui pattern, although I don't know much about feng shui, but from the blood corpse pile can also see that the little girl's speculation is true. How can such a place be a "gate"? If it is a "door", where does it lead? When I think of this, I can't help but think, where are we at this time?
Everyone looked at the old cat in unison, and waited for him to finish the rest of the sentence, and the old cat walked a few steps towards me, and simply said to us, "Tiger poison does not eat children." Rest assured, it's just a "door". You're going to be fine. He explained a little that the place where we came in just now was indeed as the little girl said, and the old cat also called it the feng shui pattern of "broken dragon head". His explanation of the severed dragon's head is similar to what the little girl told me before, and also talks about the relationship between the corpse and the severed dragon's head, and the process of those strange carrions under our feet turning into blood.
"How do you know where the birth gate is? Just now we encountered the five more demon fog, the line of sight was seriously obstructed, and there was no target on the ground, but you can accurately crack the five more demon fog in the fog, and you can find the door to take us out of there. Before the old contradictory words were finished, the little girl asked him very seriously.
The old cat was surprisingly calm, as if he expected the little girl to ask him like this, he smiled coldly, did not answer the little girl's question, but said, "If I want you to die, you will not be able to come out of the Broken Dragon Terrace." Rest assured, I am not your enemy. On the contrary, I am taking you to unravel the doubts in your minds. ”
"Why would you take us to the mystery of the coffin? How did you know about the strange events that happened in the coffin? You must have your purpose too. "I immediately threw the question back to the old cat.
The old cat smiled mysteriously, looked at me strangely, and replied lightly, "Do you have any other choice?" Aside from me, I'm afraid you'll have a hard time finding someone to help you clear up your doubts. After the old cat finished speaking, he bent down and briefly examined my limbs and spine, and when he was sure that there was no serious problem, he motioned for us to go again, we still had important places to go.
As the old cat said, we really have no other choice, since we choose to believe the old cat, we can only follow him all the way to the end and see if we can unlock our secret about the strange coffin. Through the dense Taihao period text in the mountain stream just now, the place where we are now may have something to do with that strange coffin.
Team Zhang came up to me and the little girl, and whispered to the little girl whether we should trust the old cat. What's next? The little girl's thoughts are similar to mine, that is, at this time, I can only choose to continue to believe in the old cat, and from our experience, whether it is the strange writing of the Taihao period of the mountain stream, or the five more demon fog or even the broken dragon head feng shui style bureau, it can be traced back to ancient times, which is exactly in line with the period when the strange coffin existed. In addition, in the five more demon fog, the old cat could have left us alone, but he risked his life to take us through the broken dragon head feng shui pattern, which shows that we still have a certain "use value", and we had better figure out what his purpose is. So our best bet now is to follow the old cat and move on.
The bald head fully embodies the characteristics of the "mercenary", and when I saw the little girl discussing with Team Zhang, the goods came to our side, wanting to hear what we were talking about, but the little girl didn't care about the bald head by her side, or said those things as usual. The bald head also nodded in agreement after hearing it.
After the little girl finished speaking, the bald head said to the little girl, "Woman, we can be regarded as friends of life and death." Dare to ask what is the woman's surname? It's good to set up a "pole" on the road. ”
The little girl smiled slightly and said simply, "Lin Xihui." ”
Hearing this name, the bald head showed a very exaggerated expression of surprise on his face, and muttered in his mouth, "Isn't it a woman, you are ......"
The words behind the bald head were speechless but did not come out, and in the end he shook his head again and said, "Impossible, impossible." And he did.
At this time, the old cat motioned for us to follow him on. I tried to stand up slowly, and my whole body made a stiff sound, and my limbs were very sore, but it didn't interfere with normal walking. Team Zhang saw that my legs and feet were not good, and wanted to come over and give me a hand, but I waved my hand, signaling that I could do it.
There are dense woods everywhere, and there is no sign of snow at all, and the temperature is so high that I can't stop sweating, as if we are in another world.
I asked what was going on with Team Zhang next to me? Where will we be now?
Team Zhang explained to me that several of us floated up from the waterhole next to us just now, that is to say, through the sea of blood in the previous broken faucet feng shui pattern, we were directly swept out of that waterhole by the blood. This is a bit similar to the "door" that the old cat said, the waterhole and the blood water together, we followed the blood water to the waterhole. Team Zhang also felt that we were definitely not in the mountain stream just now, and should have entered other places. Team Zhang also sighed, saying that now they can only take one step at a time, after all, the "back road" is broken, and they can only continue to move forward.
I looked around at the trees, and the trees here are very tall, about 25 meters tall, and the diameter at breast height is about 2.5 meters, and some of the trees can't even see the tops. The base of the trunk of the tree is swollen; The bark is gray or grayish-brown. The branches spread diagonally to the sides, the branches drooped slightly, and the low crown of the tree was spire-shaped, the crown was broad and rounded, and the branches and leaves were sparse.
Seeing this, I'm pretty sure the trees here are metasequoias. It is important to know that metasequoia is a rare relict plant in the world. As far back as the Cretaceous of the Mesozoic Era, metasequoia plants appeared on Earth and were widely distributed in the northern hemisphere. But after the Ice Age, these plants were almost completely extinct. In Europe, North America, and East Asia, metasequoia fossils have been found in strata from the Late Cretaceous to the Pliocene, and in the forties of the twentieth century, Chinese botanists found surviving metasequoia giant trees in Modaoxi, on the border of Hubei and Sichuan, which are about 400 years old. Later, the remnants of metasequoia forests were found in Metasequoia Dam and Xiaohe in Lichuan County, Hubei Province, and a large number of tree trunks and felling pockets were also found in ravines and farmlands. Metasequoia is a tree that basically exists at the confluence of the two lakes and Sichuan, and I have never heard of metasequoia found in Shandong.
Metasequoia trees are known as "living fossils". It is of great significance for the study of paleobotans, paleoclimate, paleogeography and geology, as well as gymnosperm phylogeny. Metasequoia trees are often hundreds of years old, and according to the metasequoia here, the age of the trees is probably more than 1,000 years. In other words, where we are now, maybe thousands of years ago.
At this moment, the bald head and the old cat, who were walking in the front, suddenly stopped, and the two squatted on the ground as if they were studying something. The three of us immediately followed, and noticed a strange "symbol" on the ground
