Chapter 34: The Legend of the Giant Tree
The Giant Wood Tribe is named after one of the tribe's giant deadwoods, which is so large that it feels like standing at the foot of a large mountain when standing under a tree. Although the dead tree seems to have no signs of life, does not grow leaves or flowers, it continues to grow and bears abundant fruit every year.
Meng Xue was still unconscious, and Meng Bo had to temporarily pause his progress. He waited anxiously beside Mengxue, his heart was like an ant in a hot pot, and even his breathing intensified with his anxious heart.
Helplessly, Meng Xue couldn't wake up for a while, and Meng Bo couldn't leave Meng Xue alone in this strange place, so he could only wait patiently. Meng Bo had been focusing on Meng Xue, not paying attention to the giant dead wood not far away.
At this moment, an old man appeared from the side. He was probably in his seventies, and his pale hair and wrinkled skin made him look more like a dead wood.
The old man led a group of clansmen and walked to Meng Bo and his party, staring at Su Er and Meng Bo and the others, this old man was the old leader of this tribe - Dead Mu Chi.
Kanemao's two subordinates took out the artifacts in their hands one by one, always keeping an eye on each other's dynamics. Suddenly, the group of people all knelt down towards Su'er, and they all lay on the ground trembling and trembling.
"What are you doing here?" Seeing this, Meng Bo suddenly turned his gaze to this group of people.
"Tenjin-sama, the untouchables have not intended to offend you, and I ask that you and the goddess will forgive us. The old chief's voice was hoarse, and his voice was full of fear and apology.
"No, no, we're not gods, we're just ordinary people. Meng Bo hurriedly stepped forward to help the old leader.
I saw the old leader tremblingly point to the giant dead wood behind him, and said, "This is our goddess." ”
Meng Bo followed the direction pointed by the old leader, and was surprised to find that there was a lifelike statue carved on the dead wood. Meng Bo took a closer look, looked at Su'er beside him, and asked Su'er in surprise, "Su'er, isn't this you?"
Su'er hesitated, as if she remembered something. She raised her head, looked at the dead wood not far away, and whispered to Meng Bo, "Senior Brother Mo Yi, Su'er seems to have been here before. ”
In fact, this story still happened in a period of time after Mo Yi's death five thousand years ago, and I remember that Su Er was developing various powders every day at that time.
One day, Suer traveled far and wide in search of a peculiar pollen called bellflower, and she wanted to make a powerful healing powder. She searched many places, but never found a golden bellflower, but she found a dead wood. This dead wood is now the one in the Giant Wood Tribe.
At that time, the dead wood was not so tall, it was just a dead tree. However, this giant tree is a sacred tree, and it can be said that it is full of treasures, but unfortunately, it has died.
Su'er approached the dead wood and looked at it, she gently stroked the dead wood, and there was a trace of sadness in her eyes. It should be that Su'er has grown up under the giant tree since she was a child, so she still has a deep affection for this dead wood.
Suddenly, several Terrans appeared around the dead wood and surrounded Su'er to death. Some of them were holding huge stones in their hands, and some were holding slender wooden sticks in their hands, staring at Su'er with unwelcome expressions.
"Don't be afraid, I have no ill will. Su'er smiled slightly, her sweet voice was as clear as the water in a lake, and it made people lose all hostility immediately.
The Terrans looked at each other for a moment, and they all seemed to be melted by Su'er's honey-like smile. They lowered the blunt object in their hands and cautiously approached Su'er.
"Are you the masters here?" asked Su'er softly, with big charming eyes and an ignorant look like a child.
A young man looked at the dead wood in front of him, lowered his head and sighed softly, and said sadly to Su'er, "The tree... Nope. ”
It turns out that they are the inhabitants of this place, and this tree is rich in inexhaustible fruits every year, allowing them to thrive here. Moreover, this giant tree is still wrapped in a force, and neither the giant ape nor the demon beast can get close. For them, this giant tree is a divine object given to them by the heavens, and it is their only refuge.
But now that the tree is dead, this tree has done so much for them that the people can't bear to leave, and they are still desperately guarding this giant tree. In the six months since the giant tree died, I don't know how many giant apes have harassed them. One tribesman after another was captured, one tribesman after another was starved to death, those who could not hold on left left, and the remaining tribesmen could only rely on hunting to survive, in order to protect this father-like sacred tree.
Su Er took a closer look and found that although the giant tree was dead on the outside, it was actually still alive, after all, it was a sacred tree. Su'er happened to have some powder that would help her grow, and she wanted to try it, so she waved her hand and sprinkled the powder on the dead wood.
The earth shook suddenly, and the dead wood seemed to react! The dead wood kept getting bigger, and a powerful force seemed to appear around it, and it surrounded the whole mountain. The dead tree instantly bore huge fruits, and although there were no leaves, it could be seen that the giant tree had been resurrected.
This sacred tree seems to have been spiritualized, as if it still has thoughts and feelings. It exuded an aura all over its body, and a particularly large fruit slowly flew in front of Su'er.
"Deadwood... Thank you!" the young man bowed, pointed to the fruit, and said the unsmooth sentence intermittently.
"Thank you. Su Er took the fruit, and smiled slightly at the corner of her mouth, it looked so sweet, sweet that the young clan was a little fascinated.
The dead wood once again exuded an aura, and a statue was conjured on its trunk, and the lifelike statue was none other than Su'er in front of him, holding a huge fruit in his hand, and exuding a sweet smile on his face.
The young clansman ran to Su'er's side, dragging Su'er's light yarn and jumping up excitedly, dancing with his hands and looking like he was excited.
At this moment, a middle-aged man behind the young man stepped forward and tugged at his arm, and swept the young man's eyes with an angry gaze in his eyes. The young man seemed to know something, and immediately bowed down and shrank back to the spot.
Seeing this, Su Er smiled slightly and said to the middle-aged man, "It's okay, I don't mind. ”
With the protection of the Divine Tree, this group of people no longer has to go hungry, let alone fear giant apes and demon beasts. They lived happily every day, and Su'er stayed here for many days and was warmly welcomed by the people here. They regarded Su'er as a god, believing that Su'er and Shenmu were gods sent by heaven to save them.
After staying for many days, Su'er finally found the golden bellflower, which is so beautiful, and it will make a crisp bell with the breeze. Su'er has collected the golden bell flower pollen and plans to leave. But just as she was about to leave, the young man stopped her.
"Please... Don't go!" he stretched out his arms and shouted at Su'er, "I won't let you go!"
