This is still a secret for us for the time being. What surprised us even more was that Lao Lu Weilu left suddenly, was it to avoid us, or was there another reason? However, as soon as they left, we were also relieved, otherwise we would have to be nervous twenty-four hours a day to guard against their various sneak attacks and plots.

While we were discussing, Maniac Six kept his head bowed and silent, as if he was deep in thought.

The sky outside has slowly brightened, and another night has passed, this night, for us, is too unusual, we experienced as if not a night, but a few days, in which the treacherous change, twists and turns, it is really unimaginable.

Smoked by the "ninja incense", this is the second time, after personal experience, the power and magic of this "ninja incense", we all have a deep feeling, if this thing, used to make sleeping pills and the like, it is really meaningful - although we were smoked to sleep, only slept for two or three hours, but did not feel sleepy at all, the hypnotic effect is really good.

At this time, Madman Six suddenly said leisurely: "It's dawn, let's go to that canyon again." "We know that the canyon he is talking about is the place where we were smoked by the "ninja incense".

Where is the madman going all of a sudden? Although we don't know too well, but since we did this, there must be his reason, seeing that he was still thinking, we didn't dare to ask more, for fear of interrupting his train of thought, so, as he said, we went out of the hotel together and walked towards the canyon.

And the two female assistants should still be sleeping, they stayed up until the early hours of the morning last night and have been waiting for us, so we will no longer ask the two of them to participate in this operation.

In the small square of the hotel, there are already tourists in twos and threes, or taking a walk, or exercising in the morning.

Supposedly, the sun should come out at this time, but because it is cloudy, it is darker than usual, but people who live in the mountains know that if it is cloudy, there will be less dew, so compared to the last time we came, we are much drier.

The mountain road leading to this canyon feels much easier to walk than at night. However, compared to other places, this canyon is too remote, the distance is not long, but there are many turns, fortunately, the crazy six and Xiao Lei, the memory of the route is super strong, under their leadership, we successfully came to the edge of the canyon.

This canyon is nothing special at first glance, but when you look closely, it seems to have a mystery, for example, this canyon is not like ordinary canyons, it is round, about a few miles in circumference, which is a bit similar to the abyss we encountered last night - although this canyon, in its circle, is not so regular.

The stone walls of the canyon, straight up and down, are 90 degrees, which is a standard cliff cliff, and under the canyon, the smoke is shrouded and the depth is bottomless. It reminds me of the amphibious cliffs – both are bottomless and mysterious, but the difference is that the cliffs formed by this canyon are not straight lines, but almost round.

I'm a little afraid of heights, and it's better at night, but during the day, I don't dare to stand on the edge of the cliff, and then look directly at the bottom of the cliff, and the madman six is very bold, he is almost a third of the soles of his feet, hanging on the edge of the canyon, and leaning down to look down the canyon, which makes us frightened, and repeatedly reminds him to pay attention to safety, try to stay away from the cliff, he promised in his mouth, but his body did not retreat at all.

Even Old Man Ouyang, an old hunter who has been hunting in the mountains all his life, would not dare to stand on the edge of the cliff like this, it was too dangerous. A few of us, on the other hand, stood a meter or two away from the edge, looking down the cliff.

Suddenly, the madman seemed to be talking to himself, as if to us, and muttered, "There must be something strange in this canyon." With that, he took a few steps backwards and sat down on the stone, frowning.

When we saw him retreat from the edge of the cliff, we all breathed a sigh of relief, and hurriedly gathered around him, and the madman Liu breathed a long sigh of relief and said, "Have you noticed that the trees on the cliff wall of this canyon are exactly the same as those on the abyss. ”

Hearing what the madman said about it, we were all stunned: no one noticed this, including Xiao Lei and Old Man Ouyang, generally speaking, some small trees growing on the cliff wall are very common, and they are everywhere in the mountains.

Madman Six continued: "You may not have noticed, this kind of small pine tree on the cliff wall, in fact, is very unusual, this kind of pine tree is called 'cliff climbing pine', at most one or two meters high, but its vitality is very tenacious, they can grow in the cracks of the stone, and even directly into the stone, the root of this tree, and the ordinary tree root is very different, this kind of root, there is a special substance, can convert the calcium carbonate of the stone, and some salts, into water, and other nutrients needed for tree growth, What's even more incredible is that the roots of this tree are very long, so how long can it be?

Western scientists have studied that the roots of this tree can penetrate into stone walls and mountains, reaching up to a thousand meters! Just like a plant in the desert, the plants on top are not large, but there is an incomparably large root system underneath, so as to ensure that the plants can survive in the most barren places.

Remember? Last night, when Xiao Ming was the first to swing down from the entrance of the cave, Xiao Lei also repeatedly reminded Xiao Ming to try to be light, don't use too much force, lest the little pine tree can't help it, in fact, no matter how hard you use it, there is nothing to do, because the huge root system of this pine tree makes it very strong, not to mention one person, even if it is ten people, this kind of pine tree can be stopped, and it will never fall off the cliff. ”

"Oh, this pine tree is amazing", the female translator next to her couldn't help but exclaim, and took out her notebook and began to record it.

The old man Ouyang next to him, after listening to the words of the madman six, was also taken aback: "'Cliff climbing pine'? When I was young, I seemed to have heard the elders say that this kind of pine tree, legend has it that after Qin destroyed the Six Kingdoms, Qin Shi Huang's personal guards all wore this kind of pine branches, woven armor, this kind of armor, not afraid of knives and axes, not afraid of bows and arrows, tough and abnormal, more wonderful is that it is not afraid of fire, it is said that the general pine tree, because of the pine resin, are more flammable, and also comparative' Flame-resistant', but the wood of this pine tree, as if it has a fireproof substance, thrown in the fire and burned all day, except for being blackened, unscathed, don't you say strange? Therefore, this kind of armor made of pine branches is better than the "rattan armor" in the "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", because the kind of "rattan armor", although it is also very tough, but it is the most afraid of fire, once it encounters a fire attack, it is over, it is said that Prime Minister Zhuge also specially sent people to our area to find this kind of pine, but unfortunately, since the Qin Dynasty, the detailed records of this pine tree, all destroyed, and the details of this pine tree, have also been lost, the specific characteristics of this pine tree, no one knows the way, No one knows where they grow, but what I didn't expect is that your brother actually knows the way, it's incredible! ”

Crazy Six smiled and said: "I not only have studied the meridians of people, but also the meridians of plants, and I have studied them, a few decades ago, I went into the mountains to collect medicine, and happened to encounter a kind of red-haired, the red-haired is extremely positive, therefore, the eggs it lays can be used in medicine, and the effect is very good, so I slowly tracked it, trying to find its nest, get a few of its eggs, because it is a deep mountain, inaccessible, so, the nest of the is not high, and after the leaves, I will climb up, Two eggs were found out of its nest, but just as I was about to go down, I suddenly noticed that the nest seemed very unusual—the nest was made of fresh branches, and the nest of such, in general, was made of a very soft grass, and this kind of was very good at making nests, and its nests were very delicate, but it made its nests out of fresh branches, which I had never seen before.

Out of curiosity, I took the nest down in its entirety, and when I looked closely, I was astonished, for judging by the shape of the branches and leaves, it should be the branches of a pine tree, but how can the branches of a pine tree be so flexible?

Those branches have just come down from the tree, so the meridians on the branches are still very vigorous - don't think that only animals have meridians, in fact, plants also have them - and the characteristics of this meridian surprised me, because this meridian is so different from the meridians of ordinary pine trees, and the characteristics of this meridian mean that the branches of this pine tree are extremely tough and extremely elastic.

At that time, I immediately thought of the legendary 'cliff climbing pine', is this the lost 'cliff climbing pine'?

But if it's really a 'cliff climbing pine', it should be extremely difficult to break, so how did this bird break this kind of branch? To this day, this remains a secret to me.

I suspect that this bird secretes a special kind of mucus, and this mucus can make the unusually tough branches soft and brittle, because I can faintly see a white liquid at the end of the branch, and this white liquid does not flow from the inside of the branch.

For the next few days, I followed the chickadee, and found that it still got the branches of the 'climbing pine' to build a nest, and, through tracking, I also found the 'climbing pine' - it was a lonely dwarf pine tree on the cliff, inconspicuous, that was the first time I saw this legendary 'climbing pine', and it was through that time that I learned where this pine tree grows, and what it looks like, but I have never seen any other 'climbing pine' other than that one. Later, I checked a lot of information, and I knew that in addition to our area, there are similar pine trees in some mountains in the Americas.

I was shocked when I saw so many 'climbing pines' in that abyss last night, but we were in such a dangerous situation that we didn't bother to talk about them.

But when the shape of the abyss made me think of this canyon, because their shapes are very similar, this morning, when you were discussing, I suddenly thought, since the shape of the abyss is similar to the canyon, is there also this kind of 'climbing pine' on the cliff wall of this canyon? If there is, then many strange things that we have encountered in the past few days may be related to these pine trees.

Also, Old Man Ouyang, when you drifted through the cave and into the bottom of the cliff, did you pay attention to those well-shaped canyons? Are there such 'climbing pines' on the rock walls around those canyons? ”

When the madman asked like this, Old Man Ouyang raised his face and said very simply: "There shouldn't be, the cliffs around are very smooth, and there is no way to climb at all,"

After listening to Old Man Ouyang's answer, Madman Six lowered his head and pondered for a moment and said, "Well, the well-shaped canyon you entered is not inhabited by amphibians, but the canyon where amphibious people live is right next door to you, remember?" That's what the 'Monkey Eagle' told you at the time. If I'm not mistaken, there must be this 'climbing pine' on the cliff wall of the well-shaped canyon next door. ”

After listening to Crazy Man Six's words, the more we listened, the more confused we became-Crazy Six said that some strange things we have encountered in the past few days are related to these pine trees, and those things can be related to these pine trees.

"What time is it?" Madman Six suddenly asked.

"It's seven fifty," Sister Li replied by looking at the watch on her wrist.

Maniac Six nodded, and said something that shocked us even more and puzzled us even more: "In another ten minutes or so, there will be a very strong wind in this canyon, and this wind will blow from the middle of the canyon and from all sides. ”

"Ah, why did your brother suddenly become Zhuge Kongming, and you want to borrow the east wind, right? Wouldn't it be true that it would be windy in another ten minutes? Old man Ouyang also said with a suspicious face.
