Chapter 105: Qinling God Tree · Lao Taolu

According to the principle, it is not difficult to see the face of the statue, but we are looking up from the bottom, no matter where we go, because of the angle, we still can't see clearly. I was annoyed in my heart, and the feeling of unluckyness towards the statue became stronger and stronger.
Boss Wang probably feels the same way as I do. The more he wants to see, the less clear he sees. We changed a few places and were all dissatisfied. In the end, we decided to climb the collapsed plank road first. The rock walls here are all roots. It will not be too difficult to climb. In addition, there are several layers of plank road below. You will not fall to death if you stumble, there is nothing to worry about.
We returned to the collapsed plank road again. Boss Wang checked the firmness of the hanging roots, hung it with a multi-function pick, and quickly climbed to the cliff. While illuminating him with a flashlight, I cursed him for falling down. Unfortunately, this boss Wang's skill was very unmatched with his body shape. He had climbed to the other side and jumped onto the plank road.
He turned around and threw the multi-function pick back to me, and then ran forward on his own, probably eager to see what was on it. I turned on the headlight on my head and climbed up the cliff like he did, with a multi-function pickaxe in one hand and the roots forward in the other. These things don't know how many years they have grown. They feel like stones, hard and abnormal, and don't seem to have life. The lines on it are very similar to the scales of animals. If you almost look, you must think that it is a fossil of ancient creatures.
I climbed very carefully, and the progress was very slow. Only halfway through, I heard boss Wang shouting, "Come and come here, and you can see clearly here. There seems to be more than one root in the tree roots-a statue. I do n’t know what was carved. "
I heard his words, clenched my teeth, used both hands and feet, and finally grabbed a beard and swayed to the opposite bank, then chased him with a flashlight and saw that he had walked three times around the plank road, holding the telescope, checking The situation of the copper tree. I looked at the place he looked at. Because the angle changed, I could indeed see that something was wrapped in the root of the tree, but what it was was still vague.
I followed up breathlessly, and after taking his binoculars, I could see clearly that there were many rusty bronze arms exposed in the giant tree-like roots like pythons. Judging from the number, there should be at least four statues standing in four directions. With the exposed part, it is impossible to accurately judge whether the sculpture is the same shape. The other parts are deeply wrapped in the roots of the tree. Visually, the size is very large, which is about the same as the stone we saw on the mountain cliff. size.
The "great benefit" that old itch said will not be these horrible roots, it must be something wrapped in this root. But even if these statues really have any great value, we can't take them away. There should be no other things on the opposite side that we don't know. We can't find it here. We must go there in the past.
We continued to follow the path along the path. As we approached the end of the upper part of the karst cave, the distance between the cliff wall and the copper tree gradually became closer, and we became more and more clear. The top of the copper tree originally had a circular sacrificial platform with four bronze statues in four directions. Originally we thought that we could see the true face of the statue in a few directions, but the more we were disappointed, their bodies and faces were firmly wrapped in the roots of the trees. If we want to see clearly, we might not cut them down. It's unlikely.
We came to the place where the sacrificial platform was basically parallel to the sacrificial platform. Boss Wang stopped and looked at me for a while, and said to me: "These four statues are placed on the four corners, indicating that there must be something in the center. If we had equipment It ’s all there, you can go further up and take a spotlight to make it clear, but unfortunately these things have fallen into the waterfall. There is no way. After birth, we have to talk about it in the past.
He said that he had sharpened the multi-function pick. One end of it was folded back, folded into a hook shape, tied to the rope, and made into a flying claw. After a few laps like a western cowboy, it was thrown out.
The multi-purpose pickaxe threw a parabola and hooked it on a tree root on the edge of the opposite sacrificial table. It circled a few times and happened to hook back onto the rope. Boss Wang tightened the rope and pulled the root of the tree a little. A lot of strange gray bugs came out of the cracks in the root of the tree and fled away. The speed was very fast.
The boss Wang frowned, and said, "Later son, this time you should go first!"
I knew he was taboo these bugs, and he scolded in my heart, and visually checked the distance. It was a lot closer than when we climbed. It should be no problem, so I nodded and climbed the rope.
After climbing for a few steps, I could n’t help but admire Boss Wang. The rope was really good. The two ends were inclined at an angle of about sixty degrees. As long as the legs were caught between the ropes, they would naturally slide to the opposite side. With a little effort, I swept across the sky, and I immediately reached the root of the tree on the sacrificial platform, and immediately grasped the roots above and stood firm.
Boss Wang made a gesture on the opposite side. Let me look at the situation first. I look back. The gray insects are not worms. They are insects that resemble larvae of cicadas. There are a lot of them, but there should be nothing. harm. I drove them away and made a gesture to the boss Wang who was opposite. He took a flashlight around me and made sure that there were no bugs before climbing up the rope.
The roots of the trees here are almost two or three of my thighs thick and tangled together. The places where they meet have been merged into one. The places where they have not touched are hollowed out into holes. It has been a long time. When you get up, the hollows in the inside are spread in all directions. This is very common in the banyan forest. There are large areas of banyan trees, and even the whole forest is glued together. There is a tree hole connected to a tree hole inside. Guilinzi is evil.
We grasped the root of the tree and turned around, and found that the age here is too long, and the package is very thorough, and we can't see what is below. The roots of these trees can no longer be cut, and I do n’t know what to do. After staying for a while, boss Wang said that it might be seen through the hollows between these tree roots. Let's look for them separately, and take photos one by one, and we can definitely see them.
I said that the cover was so thick, it was not possible, but he was not prepared to discuss with me, but just raised his hand to let me do it.
I vaguely felt that this person was very violent, a little bit like the fat Wang Wang I knew before. Heart said they are not relatives? But my fat Wang is much cuter, and very refreshing, this person is too shady.
The roots of these trees are here, like a grave, and they are flashed into the hollows of the hollow, and they can't take the picture. We have been tired for a long time, and we are tired of sweating or seeing nothing. I also flashed my waist, making me sore and sweating.
The two of them couldn't help it anymore. Boss Wang looked at me and suddenly scolded: "Wang bastard, does Li Pipa count as me?"
I whispered in my heart, since there is nothing here, why should itchy so emphasize? He shouldn't make such boring jokes. The problem is still with us, where is it, and where is it negligent?
The two of them did n’t speak, thinking about things quietly there. I thought of the lie that Lao Ti came along and told me. No matter what state of mind these lies are, I just wanted to lead me to this place, but I got here After that, I saw nothing. And the so-called can't tell me, and even if I know it, it will not do the benefits, what is it? I still can't see it at all.
Was just thinking of God. Boss Wang pushed me abruptly. I turned my head and just wanted to talk. He made a gesture of making a noise.
I said what he wanted to do, he waved his hand, carefully pulled me down, and listened carefully to the root of the tree--
Immediately, I listened quietly and listened to my ears. There was no wind here. In this extremely silent cave, next to the root of the tree, I heard clearly a slight "... It sounds like someone has been chilled to grind their teeth.
The sound is not loud, it will not be heard if you do n’t pay attention, it is very regular, and it is completely different from the sound of the blood corpse, and it will not be the sound of the insects crawling in the trunk.
Boss Wang said softly, "The interval of each sound is the same. It looks like a monk is knocking on a wooden fish. There may be a sound of some organ movement. There is indeed something in it, but I don't know whether it is alive or dead.
I began to sweat white hair, these thousands of years old tree roots even had someone grinding their teeth, is it possible to meet the tree demon failed? I just wanted to speak. Boss Wang shook his head with his mouth closed, raised his short rifle, pulled up the bolt, and let me keep up. He walked to the sound and walked to the edge of a banyan tree root, and found that the sound was From here, boss Wang turned on the flashlight to take a picture in the hole, and the voice stopped suddenly.
He glanced at me and said softly, "That's right, it should be here, what the" Hemuji "said is inside, maybe you have to go in from here."
I frowned, and said, "The root caves here are very complicated, much more complicated than those of the cave cave terrain, and I don't know if the copper pillar is hollow. If you go in rashly, it may be dangerous."
He nodded and said, "I know, so the two of us can't go in at the same time, let's go down for a path first."
I heard it in my heart, and I said you would not want me to go in.
Boss Wang looked at me hesitantly, raised the short rifle, and said softly, "I'm too fat, you go down first, I will follow you, and give you the back of the temple, you can rest assured that nothing will happen." He pushed me a little and pushed me into that hole.
I looked down at it, it was dark, and looking back, he looked at me sternly, with a cold expression on his face. I gritted my teeth and had to bring my headlights again to act as a thunder. I just wanted to go in. The fat boss called me again and handed me a small walkie-talkie, saying, "If it is deep inside, just use This, go, there is a future for the litter. "
I scolded it in my heart, took it, first got familiar with how to use it, then put it in my pocket and said, "Boss Wang, we do n’t speak secretly, I ’m going to work hard for you, you have to give me whatever you want." Light up a weapon, in case you hang it inside, you ’re fine, right? You do n’t give me a gun, will you always give me a cold weapon? "
Boss Wang looked at me alertly, and probably thought what I said made sense, reluctantly took out a small dagger from his boots and threw it to me, and at the same time the muzzle was pointed at me immediately, laughing: "Look , I am so confused, just forget it. "
I took the dagger and found that it was a kind of long-handled hunting knife, specially used for skinning. My heart said that it was better than nothing, so I slammed my head and drilled into the hole. I smelled a musty smell. I put on a gas mask and continued to crawl in.
It is very humid inside, the skin of the roots is completely different from the outside, very soft, and there are many mushrooms of unknown names growing inside, and many larvae of cicadas are frightened by me and start to flee. I crawled in for a while and froze for a while. At least a few forks appeared in front of me. Which one should I take?
A closer look, there was a mark on one of the forks, which should be drawn by the predecessors. No matter, I climbed to the marked fork and advanced a few meters. Suddenly the front was empty, and my upper body had been protruded.
I hung my upper body at the entrance of the cave, opened the searchlight on my head and took photos all around. This is a small hollow, with intertwined roots and all roots. To be honest, this is just a place where the roots of the entire root bag are relatively sparse. I am wondering why this happens. I suddenly saw a slate showing a corner inside the tree roots.
A closer look, it turned out to be a huge stone coffin. There is a coffin bed beneath the coffin, and now it is also wrapped firmly. Judging from the distance I climbed earlier, this should be the center of the sacrificial platform. That is what we are looking for.
I used both hands and feet, and came to the edge of the sarcophagus showing the corner, and then I could see clearly that this thing was not as big as it was. It was almost like a small container, and the edge of the cover was like a circle of twins on the copper tree snake. The other parts almost grow with the roots of the tree, and there is no relief on them.
Boss Wang shouted twice outside. I was ignorant and did not return to him. He thought that I had gone down into the copper tree and asked from the intercom: "What's inside?"
"There is a coffin!" I said, trying to find a place where at least I could sit up, it was too uncomfortable to lie on my stomach.
"Coffin? Can you tell who it is?"
I scolded: "How do I know, but it is not easy to transport this coffin to this place, so the teachers are so active, the one who is lying inside may be the builder of this bronze tree." Put your coffin here, probably thinking When ascending into heaven, get closer to Tiangong. I don't know what kind of person this is, so much so.
At this time, I saw that the lid of the coffin and the body of the coffin were not tightly closed. A section of tree roots had grown into the coffin along the gap and lifted the cover a little. I felt very strange, "Uh" a cry.
Boss Wang was very nervous after listening, and asked quickly, "What's going on?"
"This coffin-the lid is not covered." I said, crawling towards the gap. Didn't the coffin cover when I entered the mortuary? Let the roots grow in?
I thought about it, but I do n’t think so. It may be that the small roots grow under the coffin cover, and they grow thicker and lift the cover up. The roots of these trees are spreading in all directions. Maybe the coffin is already full, the surface layer is so hard, even if the guys in our hands can cut it, we do n’t know if it can be dug out in the year of the monkey.
I climbed to the edge of the gap and took photos with a searchlight. The inside seemed to be completely empty and gray. The light seemed to absorb everything, and nothing could come out.
In, archaeology has always been the most troublesome to lift the coffin out of the casket. The regular coffins are all attached to the coffin walls. It is good to leave a gap of at most one centimeter for you. This is a counter-current trend. There is a lot of space in it. It is very weird. I do n’t know what it is about. The tomb custom in the Western Zhou Dynasty has been relatively mature, even the royal nobility will not use such an outrageous tomb method. It seems that Master Liang said yes, this should be a king ’s tomb of the minority ethnic group at that time, and this national power does not seem to be Weak, at least should be comparable to the Western Zhou Dynasty at that time.
I picked up the intercom and said, "This coffin is empty. I don't know what's inside. My searchlight is not as powerful as your flashlight. It's too dark. You can come in. It's safe here." The hole I just explored climbed, and I said that as soon as you look out, I will get stuck and see what you do.
The walkie-talkie made several static interference sounds, and there were several sounds inside, which I could not hear clearly.
"What?" I asked.
With several static interferences, some strange sounds came from the intercom, which was very noisy and could not be heard at all.
"What?" I called again impatiently.
