Chapter 718 Tree
Bing Zhixie touched his pocket, but there was nothing in it, and even the change inside was gone: "Did it fall? Did it fall in the underground river? Or was it somewhere else?" After he got the golden palm, he looked at it carefully several times. After entering the dense forest, he stopped paying attention and didn't know where it fell. It's impossible to find this vast forest and dark underground river. It's no different from finding a needle in a haystack: "Forget it, that thing is of no use anyway. Since the thing was found here, there is something similar here." Something."
He walked forward along the river extending from the ground. This river was not at the center of the valley floor. It flowed out from under another big tree, and the only thing exposed was A very short paragraph.
Bing Zhixie discovered that the top layer of the roots of these big trees was not deeply buried in the ground. Many roots and branches were half buried and half hidden, half exposed and half buried in the soil. The trunk of the big tree here is not a straight pillar like the poplar tree. It is made up of many branches tied together, with many branches and vines, making it look very ancient.
As I got closer, Bing Zhixie discovered that the big tree was not the only plant here. There were also several small trees growing next to the trunk of the big tree.
These small trees are very thin, only a little taller than two people, and their trunks are only as thick as an adult's arm. Compared with the towering trees next to them, they are really small and cute. The leaves of this tree are pink, and at first glance they may be thought to be petals. Its branches are not very lush, but look more like the large potted plants found in some hotels and shopping malls. It is no longer easy to survive under a giant tree with such a developed tree system. It may be difficult to grow up.
After walking for a while, Bing Zhixie came to the second tree. He saw that there were also small pink trees growing under this big tree, and the number was the same as what he had just seen. , also four trees. Looking at these four small trees, he had a strange feeling in his heart. Why were there such small trees growing under every big tree, and there were exactly four of them, no more, no less? If it's a coincidence, it's a bit of a coincidence.
He circled the trees and confirmed again. There were indeed four trees. He thought to himself: "Is it true that there are four small trees surrounded by every big tree here? Or maybe I didn't pay attention before. Four? " To confirm this, just go to another big tree and look, and he immediately walked towards the next tree.
The big trees here are relatively far apart from each other, each one is about a few hundred meters apart. Bing Zhixie suddenly stopped while walking. He looked back at the two trees before him. He could still see the second tree clearly. The first tree was already a bit far away, but its outline could still be seen. He found that the distance between the trees here seemed to be the same, and although the three nearest trees were not in a straight line, they formed a 90-degree right angle.
Bing Zhixie's heart moved and she quickly jumped into the air. There is no shelter around here. Although the light is hazy, it is very balanced. A vague shadow can also be seen in the trees further away. He immediately saw that the trees here were not growing randomly, but were arranged in a square shape, with four trees on each side, plus the largest tree in the middle of the square, a total of thirteen trees.
And he also made another discovery. He had always found the black boulders here to be strange, because although they were scattered in various places in the pit and valley, there were never two stones next to each other. Only when he flew high into the sky did he see that the adjacent black boulders here were all arranged at the same distance. They were like an overlapping triangle, and all adjacent stones were equidistant.
"Weird." Bing Zhixie muttered in his heart. Strange, everything in this pit and valley seems strange. Everything here is obviously not generated by nature: "What does he want to hide? Or... what does he want people to discover?"
< br>He, of course, refers to the person or those people who did all this. The strange layout here obviously holds some secret.
Bing Zhixie did not fall back to the ground, he flew straight towards the largest tree in the middle. Since everything here is strange, the most conspicuous place in the middle is naturally the strangest place.
The closer you fly, the more you can feel the hugeness of this tree. Bing Zhixie remembered a legend. He couldn't remember the content of the legend. He only knew that he heard it from someone in a tavern when he was very young. It was a legend about a giant tree. At that time, he heard about those adventures. The author described the giant tree and was shocked in his heart. Now that the things in his impression appeared in front of his eyes, he felt that it was very unreal. There are many hanging catkins hanging on the tree. Most banyan trees have this characteristic. Bingzhixie flies between the hanging strips, and it looks a bit like the tree fairies and flower demons in the story that fly back into their nests. But most of those stories are beautiful and pleasant stories, but here, I just feel weird. The ugly tree in front of me seems to be a huge twisted monster that rules this place. But there are no pink trees around this big tree.
The surroundings were still very quiet, so quiet that I could only hear the sound of the leaves blowing in the wind at the top of the tree. Isn't it strange that no bird has nested in such a big tree?
Bing Zhixie fell on the roots of the tree. Part of the root system of the banyan tree was exposed. They were twisted into a ball. From time to time, there were holes made of roots and branches. The inside was dark and made people feel uncomfortable. People are afraid. He remembered that in some tribal cultures, they like to place shrines in the gaps between the roots of such huge banyan trees. They usually worship the tree god or tree spirit king, and some of them are very evil human sacrifices. Eighteen-year-old boys and girls were tied naked to the tree in a circle, and then their blood veins were cut, and the blood was soaked all over the tree roots. The children could still see their own blood drying before they died, which was very scary.
Looking around, I didn’t find anything strange. Bing Zhixie thought, if there is something here, either hidden in the trees or buried underground, it would be easy to find some clues.
Of course, you have to start from the trees. This valley is so big that it is difficult to search every piece of land, but there are only thirteen big trees here.
Thirteen is not an auspicious number.
The tree is big. Not all big trees have many branches, but the banyan tree is different. The banyan tree has the highest crown cover among trees. Its crown is like a big umbrella holding up the sky. Many hundreds of years old banyan trees have very large crowns. Those old people like to sit under the shady old banyan trees when the weather is hot. Enjoy the coolness in the rocking chair and tell some interesting stories to the grandchildren.
Usually large trees with prosperous crowns will have more prosperous root systems.
Bing Zhixie flew among the countless branches. He didn't find anything. Everything here, except for the abnormal ones, was normal. However, he still found something that had nothing to do with what he was looking for. He saw a lot of fruits on this tree. This kind of fruit was relatively large, oval, like a big olive. Because it was green, at first glance Didn't notice.
Seeing the fruit, Bing Zhixie felt a little hungry. He brought some food with him when he came, but not much. He ate it all in one day yesterday and even threw away the bag containing the food. He thought that since this was a dense forest, he wouldn't have to worry about finding anything to eat, but he had never seen the big fruit in front of him, and he didn't know if he could eat it. Use an ice knife to cut it open and you will see that the outer layer of skin is green and gradually becomes lighter, while the inside is a ball of white flesh and some black stuff, which smells of a peculiar fragrant fragrance.
Throwing down the fruit, Bing Zhixie jumped down from the tree. He had to find things and eat food. He stepped on the air and ran towards the edge of the valley. But just as he jumped off the tree, before he had gone far, he saw a group of people coming from a distance...
