Chapter 502: The Most Mysterious Metal
While we were discussing this, I noticed that the female translator had been silently beside her, looking at the big tree not far away, as if she had something on her mind, and when she was pondering, there was an intellectual beauty on her delicate and handsome face.
I wanted to ask her what she was thinking, but because everyone was there, and the relationship between the two of us was too delicate, I chose to remain silent in front of everyone.
Suddenly, the female translator seemed to notice that I was looking at her, and when she turned her head to look at me, I quickly turned my head and pretended to look away. At this time, I heard the female translator say: "I suddenly thought of something, and this matter made me a little puzzled. β
Hearing the female translator say this, everyone was suddenly stunned, and they all turned their eyes to her, the female translator swept the hair behind her ears, and then said: "Everyone also knows that Tian Liwen lived in the same house with me, and when she slept last night, Tian Liwen suddenly said something inexplicable - she sighed and said, if it weren't for the big tree, she and Professor Shan might not have fallen into the current field, after hearing this sentence, I was taken aback, and hurriedly asked her what she meant, she seemed to feel that she had lost her words, and hurriedly said that it was okay, And immediately diverted the topic. Judging from this action, it seems that she has something to hide from us, and she doesn't want us to know, and this matter seems to have something to do with the big tree. β
Hearing the female translator say this, we were all surprised, I didn't expect there to be such a thing, think about it carefully, there is indeed a lot of article in it.
Everyone looked at the big tree again, and it was the same tree that used to hang human skin. Could it be that there is some secret hidden in that tree that we don't know?
The big tree is a kind of poplar tree in our mountain, but it is much taller than ordinary poplars, from the ground to the treetops, it is 20 meters high, and the trunk is also very thick, and it takes two people to hold hands to hug it.
Just by the thickness of the trunk, you can know that the age of this poplar tree is at least hundreds of years, because the average poplar tree, absolutely can not grow so thick, maybe the age of the tree is too old, so the branches and leaves of this tree appear very sparse, now it has just arrived in early autumn, most of the leaves of the tree have not fallen, but the leaves of this tree, but the leaves of this tree, have basically withered.
After looking at it for a while, Xiao Lei suddenly said, "Why don't I go up and have a look." β
Cousin, Madman Six, and Old Man Yuan didn't answer immediately, only Sister Li next to her muttered: "It would be nice if Old Man Ouyang was also there, his 'monkey eagle' can go up and take a look, the tree is so tall and so thick, how can people climb it." β
This time, Old Man Ouyang and the "Monkey Eagle" still stayed at Mr. Chen's house and did not follow, because we felt that there was Mr. Chen's wife at home, as well as Professor Shan and Tian Liwen, so it was best for the "Monkey Eagle" to stay at home, in case there was any danger, the "Monkey Eagle" was a strong guarantee.
In the end, it was my cousin who spoke first: "I think we should go up and have a look, but the tree is really too tall, except for Xiao Lei, I'm afraid none of us have the ability to go up." β
Madman Six also nodded and said: "Actually, this poplar tree itself is very strange, it is said that the life span of this poplar is generally about forty or fifty years, and it can't grow so thick, but for this pine tree, just from the trunk, it is almost hundreds of years old, the age of the tree is easy to know, just look at the annual rings on the trunk, and the number of annual rings is sometimes related to the thickness of the tree."
Therefore, this tree is very extraordinary, and the human skin is hanging on this tree, with this kind of specialness, it is worth going up to see, Xiao Lei, if you want to go up, be more careful. β
Xiao Lei smiled lightly and said: "Compared with climbing the rock wall, climbing trees is much easier, when I was training abroad, I climbed hundreds of meters high steel towers with my bare hands, so it is a piece of cake to climb a big tree of this height."
Those of us who have not been specially trained really can't think of a way to climb such a big tree with our bare hands, because this kind of big tree is so thick that one person can't hold it at all, that is, it is impossible to hold the trunk with our hands and climb up like a normal tree; And such a thick tree can't be picked up by hand at all, so how can you climb it?
Xiao Lei borrowed a piece of rope from Old Man Yuan, and wrapped this rope around the trunk of the tree, and tied a round sleeve, and then he got into this round sleeve and let the rope sleeve just strangle on his waist.
Then, Xiao Lei asked for a rope dozens of meters long, carried on his shoulder, as you know, when climbing up, Xiao Lei is going to use this rope, tied to the branch, and then follow this rope, landing on the ground.
Xiao Lei first used the rope sleeve to move up quickly, using this method to climb the tree, I saw it for the first time, and I couldn't help but secretly admire in my heart - professionally trained people, the critical moment is indeed different.
After a while, Xiao Lei climbed to the canopy part, only to see him grab the branch, and it didn't take a few clicks to climb to the branch with human skin.
We all looked up with our heads up, but because it happened to be facing the sun, we couldn't see what Xiao Lei was doing, but suddenly we heard Xiao Lei shouting loudly on it: "There are many words and patterns engraved on this trunk."
Everyone couldn't help but be taken aback, and this discovery alone was enough to shock us.
To his words, before we could fully reminisce about it, Xiao Lei shouted in surprise: "This branch is not a branch."
A branch is not a branch? What does that mean? Isn't this a contradiction?
Immediately after, I heard a crackling sound above, and some tiny branches and leaves fell, as if Xiao Lei was breaking branches on it.
After a while, everyone found that Xiao Lei was tied to a branch with a rope and slowly put it down.
When the branch descended to the ground, we hurriedly gathered around to look, only to find that this section of the shape is very similar to the branch, but not a branch at all, although it is brown, the color is a bit like a branch, but when you look closely, we find that it slightly emits a metallic luster, the most shocking thing is that it is engraved with dense text, and there are many strange symbols.
My cousin stepped forward and tapped his finger lightly on the "branch", which was like a branch, making a metallic sound.
At this time, Xiao Lei also followed the rope and landed from the big tree.
"This thing is attached to a branch, and it seems to grow with the branch, and I sawed it off with a small hacksaw."
Xiao Lei wiped his sweat and said that he always carries all kinds of gadgets on him, and it is these gadgets that can play a big role at critical moments.
Through this recent experience, I deeply realized that the role of written records is too important, and through a written record, you can know what has happened for hundreds or even thousands of years as if you were there.
In the well-shaped canyon, there are words on the stones, and those unbelievable historical events seem to be presented in front of us again, but what is the content of the words on this dendritic object?
I don't know why, when my cousin and Old Man Yuan read the text on it carefully, the madman six repeatedly tapped the thing, and sometimes used his index finger, middle finger and thumb to buckle on the thing like a pulse.
I wanted to ask Crazy Six about him, but I saw that he frowned, as if he was trying to think about something, and shook his head for a while, and nodded again for a while, seeing this situation, none of us dared to disturb him.
Although we can't understand what the madman is doing, we can't understand the words on that thing, but we probably all know it, it is a standard willow font, each word is delicate and upright, and the pen is strong, and the carving is extremely exquisite, although every word is known, but what it means to connect together, most of us still can't understand it.
At this time, I heard the madman six muttering to himself: "What is this thing?" Supposedly, it should be a piece of metal, or a piece of ore, but inside it, it has the characteristics of meridians, like a living thing, what is going on? β
Unexpectedly, hearing him say this, Old Man Yuan stood up as if he had been pricked by a needle, and asked Madman Six with a trembling voice: "What did you just say?" Does that mean that this thing is like a living ore, or a living metal? β
Seeing Old Man Yuan's reaction, the madman replied in amazement: "Yes, do you know this kind of thing?" β
Old man Yuan nodded and said, "Well, this kind of thing, Xuanheng's seniors mentioned it in the manuscript, and this kind of thing, for them, is simply a matter of life and death. β
When everyone heard this, they were all taken aback, and even the cousin, who was squatting to read the words on it, couldn't help but stand up and looked at Old Man Yuan with a surprised face.
Old man Yuan calmed down his feelings a little before continuing: "This is a living metal. β
The first thing he said was incomprehensible to usβwhat? Living metals? It's ridiculous, how can metal have life? And how can a living object be metal?
"I know that we can't imagine this living metal anyway, but it's true. This kind of thing should have been cut from the lower part of the meteorite.
That meteorite can not only emit special energy, but what is even more incredible is that the substances in each part of it seem to be very different. For example, the material on the upper part of the meteorite is very hard, Xuanheng's predecessors once gave me a piece, that piece should be scattered when the meteorite hit the earth, it is only half the size of a fist, but it weighs more than eighty pounds, and the density is extremely high.
Why did you give me that kind of thing?
Because a few years ago, I had Yan zhΓ²ng's arthritis, and it was difficult to even walk, Xuanheng's seniors knew about it, so they gave me the stone and asked me to apply it to the joints every day, at that time, I didn't care too much, I just felt that this effect might be very limited, but what I never expected was that only a month later, my arthritis was all cured, which was the first time I experienced the magical power of meteorites.
Xuanheng's predecessors said in the manuscript that the part below the meteorite is even more wonderful - the stone in that part has the characteristics of metal, whether it is in terms of luster, hardness, and texture, there is no difference from metal, but that kind of stone will grow on its own, and if you unintentionally touch a piece, it will automatically grow out.
What's even more amazing is that it does not grow indefinitely, but when it is separated from the meteorite, whatever shape it is, it will always remain in that shape, and even if it is broken, it can still grow and return to that shape.
The most bizarre thing is that there is only one way to reshape it in its original shape - to use human skin.
Xuanheng seniors, in a corner of that space, found several bundles of bamboo slips, and it was on those bamboo slips that Xuanheng seniors learned about this kind of thing, the most incredible characteristics. β
