Chapter 13: Desert Stumps
readx; After listening to what Bai Yiqing said, Ding Laosan exclaimed: "I can't imagine that there are such strange things in the world. Pen %Fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info"
With the care of the refreshing aura emitted by the Qingling Bead, Yu Fei and Ding Laosan suddenly felt a lot cooler and more comfortable, and they walked much brisker.
While the three of them were chatting, before they knew it, they had come to the top of the sand dune, and the group walked to the small boxy mound and stopped.
This mound is not big, it is only half a meter high, boxy, the side is about one meter long, and the whole mound has been eroded by the wind and sand.
Bai Yiqing threw out a spirit tail and leaned into the small mound, and after a while, the small mound began to tremble, and with Bai Yiqing's loud shout, the entire small mound immediately cracked into several pieces.
Ding Laosan was stunned from the sidelines, this thousand-year-old fox fairy is inevitably too powerful, right?
Yu Fei was already surprised, but he was very puzzled, he couldn't understand what Bai Yiqing wanted to do, and he actually destroyed an ancient building that might be a precious cultural relic.
and waited for him to ask, but the corner of his eyes suddenly found that there seemed to be something hidden in the small crumbling mound.
He quickly squatted down and tossed aside all the debris that had covered it, and only then did he see clearly that the small mound was hiding a stump.
The diameter of the stump is more than half a meter, and the three of them were a little surprised when they saw this, in this sea of death, there is actually a stump with a diameter of half a meter that is covered by a small artificial mound, and the cross-section of this stump is very smooth and flat, it should have been deliberately polished, and there are some strange patterns engraved on it, what is going on,
"Damn, what the hell do you mean by getting a stump here?" Ding Laosan is also confused,
"This stump is actually absorbing yang energy." Bai Yiqing probed with his spiritual sense, and said in shock,
"What,." Yu Fei couldn't believe his ears, just such a dead tree stump buried in the sand could absorb yang energy, it was really incredible, he hurriedly urged out his spiritual sense, and sure enough, he found that there was a stream of pure yang essence qi that was continuously converging towards this stump,
The aura between heaven and earth is divided into yin and yang, water is yin, mountains are yang, the moon is yin, and the sun is yang.
"Fuck this is too evil, let Lao Tzu see what it is." Ding Laosan didn't believe that it was a stump, and now some scenic spots can even design trash cans to look like a stump, maybe the stump in front of him is actually just a camouflage, so he thought about getting it out of the sand to take a look.
He stepped forward and grabbed the stump, and lifted it up with all his might, trying to pull the stump out of the sand, but he did it for a long time, and although his face was flushed, the stump did not move.
"Damn, this thing can't take root." Ding Laosan said with some embarrassment,
"Third master, why don't you let me try." Bai Yiqing said, throwing out a few spirit tails and wrapping them around the stump,
Fang had already seen the power of Bai Yiqing's spiritual tail, Ding Laosan hurriedly stood aside, Yu Fei knew how powerful Bai Yiqing's spiritual tail was, in the Mausoleum of Qin Shi Huang, even the iron fence with the thickness of a child's wrist could be torn off by it, not to mention such a stump in front of him,
However, this time, even Bai Yiqing's spirit tail could not play a role, although Bai Yiqing had already transported his internal qi to the extreme, and the stump was still motionless.
The three of them were shocked, what the hell is going on, could it be that this stump is really as Ding Laosan said, in fact, there is another hidden story,
"Why don't we dig up all the sand next to this stump and see what the hell is going on." Yu Fei thought of a clumsy but practical solution,
Ding Laosan and Bai Yiqing both nodded in agreement, so the three of them started to dig.
The sand of the dunes was very loose, and after a while, the three of them dug nearly a meter deep, and the stump of the tree did not see the end, but could see some branches of the rhizome spreading around the ground, it turned out that it was not just a stump, but the root of a tree, no wonder it could not be made out,
"This tree has such a well-developed root system, it looks like it used to grow here." Ding Laosan said,
"It is very likely that the information given by Brother Bo said that Lop Nur used to be a big lake, and there used to be dense forests around the lake, maybe this tree is the big tree that used to grow by the lake." Yu Fei analyzed,
The three of them continued to dig down, only to see that the roots of the tree were branching more and more, and the entire root system was spreading more and more in the ground.
"Damn, what kind of tree is this?" It was the first time for Ding Laosan to see a tree with such a developed root system, and it actually came from a stump that had no signs of life, but from its developed root system, it felt as if it was still alive, but it was living under the sand.
The three of them continued to dig, because the place was located in the sand dune heights, although it had penetrated nearly two meters into the sand, the sand still appeared very dry, but the root system of the stump was also more developed, and its rhizome was quite tough, apparently because the rhizome still contained water.
From this point of view, the root system of this stump should have penetrated deep into the underground water system, otherwise its rhizome should have become dry and brittle, and it would never be so tough.
The fact that a stump with only the roots of the tree can absorb both sunlight and water from the underground water system, is completely like a living tree, which is obviously beyond the normal theory of life.
"Maybe it's because of these runes." Yu Fei turned his attention to the runes on the section of the stump,
Bai Yiqing frowned: "These runes are very similar to those ghost realm scriptures that the old Dao in the beacon tower said. ”
"The people in the ghost road are so fucking boring, they just make a dead stump look like a living thing, it can absorb both light and water, what the hell do they want to do." Ding Laosan pondered,
Yu Fei said: "I think I have to go back and ask the Taoist Master about this, he knows more about the art of the ghost path. ”
As the so-called knowing oneself and knowing one's opponent, Kun Yuanzi had devoted himself to studying the ghost path technique for several years in order to deal with the ghost path people, and his method of cultivating the flying body was also learned from the ghost path technique.
However, Kun Yuanzi's yin body must not be able to stand the light of the scorching sun at noon, and there is no signal on the mobile phone here, and he can't call Kun Yuanzi to tell him, so it seems that he has to go back, so Yu Fei took out his mobile phone and took a photo of the runes engraved on the section of the stump, and the three of them walked back,
