Chapter 422: The Weirdest Pine Tree
At this time, the sun has risen very high, nearly ten o'clock, the weather is good today, the sun is shining, the sky is like a wash, when we walk to the edge of the canyon again, and look at the cliff wall of the canyon, we can hardly believe our eyes, is this an illusion? ββOn the cliff wall, the original lush "cliff climbing pine" is all gone, leaving only the smooth rock wall.
We rubbed our eyes and looked at it again and again, yes, the rock wall was bare, there was not even a single grass, let alone any "cliff climbing pine", what the hell, in such a short period of time, what did those pine trees disappear without a trace so quickly?
At this time, only the madman had six faces, there was no trace of surprise, he put his hands behind his back, staring at the cliff wall of the canyon, calm with a hint of loss.
At this time, none of us spoke, looked at the rock wall, and then looked at the madman six, and still couldn't understand what was happening in front of us.
After a while, Maniac Six waved his hand, and we took a few steps back again, sitting down on the rock. At this time, the madman Liu slowly spoke: "Have you seen the wonderful changes on the cliff? You're all curious to know what the hell is going on, right? β
We all nodded vigorously.
Just now, we thought that the conclusion of Crazy Man Six was absurd and ridiculous, but now we have found out that in fact, it is we who are absurd and ridiculous, we believe too much in our own eyes, and we are too easily confused by superficial phenomena, and sometimes what we see may not be real, but just some kind of illusion.
It may be that after the blind man of Zhilu Daogao did not die, we were all in a heavy mood, so the fierce rebuttal to him just now, the madman six didn't seem to care too much, and he didn't make fun of us in turn, but explained in a somewhat low tone:
"As for the cliff where the tall blind man fell, as I just said, the place where the cliff is three or four to eight or nine zhang, that is, the smooth area, is actually an area where the 'cliff climbing pines' are clustered. When I said this, you all strongly objected, and I can understand that, because the 'climbing pine' is a very mysterious thing, and it is by no means an ordinary pine.
I don't know if you noticed? When we saw the 'Climbing Pine' in the abyss in the cave, it was at night, and the light was very dim inside, and we could still see the 'Climbing Pine' at about eight o'clock, but now we can't see it? What is this for? β
"Do you always mean that this 'climbing pine' is afraid of the sun? When the sun rises higher and higher, does the 'climbing pine' disappear? "It's still Xiao Lei's brain that reacts quickly.
Regarding Xiao Lei's conclusion, the madman nodded.
"However, even if this plant is very afraid of the sun, and when the sunlight gets stronger and stronger, its branches and leaves will shrink at most, but how can it be that it has disappeared completely out of thin air without leaving a trace?" What Hongmei said is also very reasonable, and all of us are also troubled by this question.
The madman six remained silent and asked us lightly: "Do you still remember the 'vine demon'?" βγ We were stunned when we asked, "Vine Demon" Of course we remember, at this time, why did the madman Liuhui suddenly ask like this.
Before we could react, Crazy Six slowly spat out another sentence that shocked us: "Actually, this 'cliff climbing pine' and 'vine demon' are a bit similar in nature, but not exactly the same, the same thing is that they look very much like plants on the surface. But the difference is that the 'vine demon' is not an animal at all, and this 'cliff climbing pine' can only be regarded as half a plant and half an animal, because it has the characteristics of plants and animals. β
Yes! Is the "climbing pine" an animal?
Maniac Six looked at the canyon and slowly continued: "I told you that the meridians of the 'cliff-climbing pine' are very different from the meridians of ordinary pine trees, and its branches are very flexible, and that kind of flexibility has broken through the limits of plants, and is more like the arms and organs of animals. And its meridians also have the dual characteristics of animals and plants.
This 'climbing pine' is really sensitive to the sun, and when the sun rises, it hides, and it hides in a very clever way - it is like a snail, it has a hard shell at the bottom, and this hard shell is very much like stone in terms of texture and color.
When the sunlight becomes stronger, the branches and leaves of this pine tree will all shrink and slowly shrink into the holes in the roots, and the hard shell will cover the small holes left in the cliff wall, so that there is hardly a trace of it when viewed from the outside.
In the evening, this 'climbing pine' will burrow out again until about 9 or 10 o'clock in the morning, and then it will retract into the stone wall again. As for the specific time of indentation, it is slightly different depending on the season and weather, but it is about nine or ten o'clock.
In the early days of mankind, there was a tribe that liked to live on cliffs, and they first discovered this 'cliff climbing pine', and called this pine 'snail pine', because in many characteristics, this pine tree and snails are indeed very similar, for example, they are more afraid of the sun, and when the sun is exposed, it will burrow into the shell. As you have just seen, if this kind of 'cliff climbing pine' is indented, there is not even a single weed on the cliff wall they cover, and it looks very smooth, this is because some substances secreted by the 'cliff climbing pine' are weakly alkaline, and over the years, not only make the grass and trees unable to survive, but also have a corrosive effect on the surface of the stone, so the stone on the cliff wall has no sharp edges and corners, and it looks particularly smooth. β
When Maniac Six said this, we realized what was going on, which is really a bit unbelievable, if we didn't see it with our own eyes, it would be unbelievable.
We couldn't figure out why there was such a smooth area on the original cliff, but now we understand that the area is also so smooth because of this 'climbing pine', and the reason why we don't see this kind of pine tree is because we all look at it during the day.
And the high blind man fell off the cliff, just at night, and the night is the time when the 'cliff climbing pine' grows out, with the high blind man's kung fu, he has a strong control over the body, which can make him easily fall on the 'cliff climbing pine', no wonder we have always felt that the high blind man's fall from the cliff is too easy, I can't imagine that there is really a mystery in it.
Alas, we were still in a hurry to find the body of the tall blind man, and now it seems that it is a bit ridiculous.
"If the blind man Gao hadn't died, would he have been nearby, or even messed with Lao Li or even Lao Lu, if that was the case, it would be bad, because of his super mind-reading ability, he would exert his power again, and the threat to us would be very huge." Xiao Lei said worriedly.
The madman smiled slightly, and said very easily: "Don't worry about this, although the face worm is not with you, but don't forget, we also have a special killer feature - that is, 'Monkey Eagle', 'Monkey Eagle' is what likes to eat amphibian cubs the most, do you know the way?" That's because, in the body of the 'monkey eagle', there is a special yang energy, and it is extremely vigorous, this yang energy must be balanced by the yin energy of amphibians on a regular basis, and the cubs of amphibians are easier to prey on than adult amphibians, and the yin energy is also more vigorous, so the 'monkey eagle' will regularly prey on amphibian cubs, and the yang energy on the body of the 'monkey eagle' has a shielding effect on the yin energy on the amphibians.
The meridians of the tall blind man, in some respects, are very similar to those of the amphibian, and his mind-reading ability also relies on his super strong yin qi, if there is a 'monkey eagle', his mind-reading ability is not only greatly affected, but he also does not dare to get too close to us, because at a certain distance, the 'monkey eagle' can immediately find him. β
Crazy Six talked about this kind of problem, because it was related to his major, it was very detailed and verbose, I was not interested in the details of the problem, I only listened to the conclusion, and when I heard Crazy Six say that there was nothing wrong, I was relieved.
"I don't understand a question, I need to ask your old man - since Old Man Ouyang's father was injured by an amphibious, and Old Man Ouyang has some kind of amphibious yin qi in his body, why can he get along with the 'Monkey Eagle' and be intimate?" When it comes to this kind of medical problem, Hongmei seems to be very interested, and it is no wonder that she is a doctor herself, and she was born in a family of traditional Chinese medicine since she was a child, so she must be very sensitive to this kind of problem.
The madman Liu patiently explained to Hongmei: "You are right, but this yin and yang qi is very subtle, very complex, and very similar to medicine - even if it is a good medicine, if the dose is too large, it will become poison; And the highly poisonous medicine, as long as the dosage is appropriate, will also become a life-saving medicine, just like snake venom, which can not only harm people, but also save people, which is related to the dose, and the same is true of yin and yang qi, besides, whether it is Ouyang Old Man or 'Monkey Eagle', they all have feelings and intelligence, for them, the relationship depends more on the feelings between each other, rather than simply yin and yang. β
Hongmei nodded again and again as she listened, as if she had realized something, and I was so confused that I didn't bother to think about the truth in detail.
When we were talking, suddenly, the 'monkey eagle' in Ouyang's old man's hand screamed suddenly, and we all stood up in shock, usually, if there is anything to do with this 'monkey eagle', it will only babble, even in the abyss in the cave, the situation is so dangerous, and I have not heard the 'monkey eagle' cry so eager and poignant.
What the hell is going on here?
At this time, we saw the 'Monkey Eagle' staring closely at the edge of the canyon, and we hurriedly looked at the old man Ouyang, because the old man Ouyang was the 'translator' of the 'Monkey Eagle', and we wanted to know what the Dao and the 'Monkey Eagle' were called.
Old man Ouyang looked nervous, and when he saw that we were all looking at him, he hurriedly said: "'Monkey Eagle' found that there was a strange thing just now, holding on to the edge of the cliff, peeking at us. β
Hearing Old Man Ouyang say this, a chill ran down my spine. What "weird thing" is looking at us, is it human? The 'monkey eagle' shook its head in denial; 'Monkey Eagle' shook his head again in denial.
So what kind of weird thing could it be? It's a pity that the 'monkey eagle' can't speak and can't tell us exactly.
Xiao Lei wanted to go to the edge of the cliff and want to see it clearly - what kind of strange thing is peeping at us? But as soon as he took two steps forward, the 'Monkey Eagle' called out eagerly, and Old Man Ouyang hurriedly said loudly: "Young man, don't go over, it's dangerous." β
Hearing Old Man Ouyang shout like this, Xiao Lei stopped suddenly, we all know that the perception ability of the 'Monkey Eagle' is sometimes not comparable to us at all, since the 'Monkey Eagle' said that there was danger in the past, then none of us dared to pass it easily.
Didn't you just observe from the edge of the cliff? How can all of a sudden, a terrible monster appear on the edge of a cliff? And this kind of monster will make the 'Monkey Eagle' so nervous.
