Sheet 35 - Holy Willow, dead?
I said: "Actually, this is very common. Some tomb entrances are built in such a way that they have to be pushed in from the outside. That means someone must close it from the outside. So this person must know where the entrance to the Zari tribe's tomb is.
place."
Hearing this, Gai Wancheng clapped his hands and said, "That's definitely the case. Let's go there and look for it. Maybe we can find some clues."
Li Kun said: "Oh, what clues are there to look for? Doesn't Lao Liu have a dragon-hunting disk? We'll know it once we find out."
Hearing this, Gai Wancheng turned to look at me, then clapped his hands and said: "Oh, look, I actually forgot about this. We have the leader of the contemporary Dragon-seeking Celestial Master here.
Isn’t it easy to find the location of the tomb?”
After hearing Gai Wancheng's flattery, I didn't have any expression, and I didn't continue to use the dragon-hunting disk to explore.
I turned around and pointed to the big willow tree in the center of the village and said, "I'm sure that the location of the tomb is right there with that big willow tree."
After hearing what I said, everyone turned to look at the huge willow tree in the center of the village.
Then I continued: "There should be nothing else here except this fish scale mummy. Let's hurry up and get there. We don't know if those foreigners have arrived now or are behind us."
After hearing what I said, everyone nodded, and then everyone started walking towards the willow tree, which is regarded as the willow god by the Zari tribe.
As we got closer and closer to the willow tree, everyone saw that the surrounding houses began to gradually become fewer and fewer.
After we walked for about ten minutes, we seemed to have walked out of the village, and there was nothing in front of us except this huge willow tree.
The open space here is probably no less than 500 meters. Looking around, the entire Zhali village surrounds this big willow tree.
It wasn't until everyone walked up to the willow tree that they saw how thick the willow tree was.
Li Kun smacked his lips: "Good guy, this willow tree must not be seven or eight meters thick."
Gai Wancheng also nodded and said: "If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, it would be hard for me to believe that there would be such a thick willow tree in this world. Even this willow tree, I think, is close to ten thousand years old."
As soon as Gai Wancheng finished speaking, his brows furrowed. Then Gai Wancheng walked under the willow tree, raised his hand and pulled on the willow branch.
But with Gai Wancheng's tug, everyone's eyes suddenly widened.
I saw that the willow leaf that Gai Wancheng had torn off from the willow tree turned into powder in an instant.
When Li Kun saw this, he didn't think much about it and said, "Isn't this willow tree broken? Why did it become like this as soon as it was taken down?"
With that said, Li Kun also walked under the willow tree and looked up at the huge willow branch above his head.
Li Kun jumped up and grabbed the thickest willow branch among them.
The diameter of this willow branch was at least ten centimeters. Li Kun also wanted to grab this willow branch and swing it around in the sky, trying to feel like he was a child.
But then, not only Li Kun was stunned, but everyone was shocked by this scene.
The moment Li Kun grabbed the willow branch, everyone heard a click, and the entire willow branch suddenly broke off.
Li Kun never thought that such a thick willow branch would break, and Li Kun, who was unprepared, fell from it.
Li Kun only felt a pain in his butt, but then he saw the huge willow branch above falling directly towards his face.
The tip of this willow branch is the thinnest, but the higher it goes up, the thicker it becomes. If Li Kun was hit by this huge willow branch, it would be no different than being hit in the face by a big tree.
the difference.
But fortunately, Hu Dalong and I were the closest to Li Kun. When the two of them saw something was wrong, they rushed to Li Kun's side.
Then the two of them raised their hands and grabbed the clothes on Li Kun's shoulders, and directly dragged Li Kun's body away.
Then everyone saw a willow branch with a length of about twenty meters falling straight from above.
Everyone only heard a crashing sound, and then with a plop, the huge willow branch fell in front of everyone's eyes.
Seeing this, Li Kun also swallowed his saliva. Looking at the huge willow branch with a root of about half a meter, Li Kun was sweating.
Li Kun said: "Damn, why is this thing so weak? I just pulled it so casually. Why did it break? It's a sacred willow. I think it's better to call it a brittle willow."
After saying that, Li Kun sat up and rubbed his butt quickly. Li Kun didn't feel any pain from the fall just now.
But when Hu Dalong and I were dragging him from the ground, Li Kun felt like his butt was about to smoke.
But at this time, no one paid any attention to Li Kun's complaints.
Everyone's eyes were fixed on the thick willow branch that fell from above.
Li Kun also turned to look at this time, then opened his mouth and uttered a curse word, and then said to me: "Old Liu, what is going on."
I saw that after the willow branch fell to the ground, the leaves began to turn yellow in an instant.
Then all the willow leaves fell off from the willow branches.
Seeing this, I walked up to Willow Branch. Hu Dalong wanted to reach out and touch it, but Xu Tian stopped him.
When Captain Fang saw Xu Tian like this, he also retracted his hand, fearing that the willow branch might be poisonous. If it turned into the kind of fish-scale mummy he just saw, it would be better to die directly.
Then Xu Tian turned to look at me, and I nodded to him.
Both of them took out the leather gloves specially used for touching corpses from their coat pockets and put them on their hands.
I first reached out and grabbed a handful of willow leaves. Under the astonished gaze of everyone, the willow leaves made bursts of crisp sounds the moment I took them.
After a slight clicking sound, the withered leaves turned into debris.
Seeing this, Xu Tian took a breath of cold air and asked: "Old Liu, what is going on? Why is this willow branch still good on the tree, but why does it wither when it falls to the ground and break when touched?"
I threw the crumbs in my hands on the ground, and then clapped them with both hands to knock them off.
He said, "The problem should be with the willow tree itself."
After hearing what I said, everyone looked puzzled.
Then I walked to the base of the willow branch, squatted down, stretched out my hand, and knocked on the willow branch a few times.
Hearing a series of dull noises, I stretched out my right hand and hit the willow branch hard.
After a click, the willow branch was broken easily by me.
After seeing the willow branch broken, Gai Wancheng still had a confused look on his face.
The whole willow tree didn't look abnormal at all, but when I stretched out my hand to grab it, it turned into what it is now.
Gai Wan praised: "Liu Jie, can you know what's going on with this willow tree? I think it's obviously fine. What's going on?"
I took off my gloves, put them in my pocket, looked at the huge willow tree in front of me, and said, "This willow tree should have died a long time ago."
After hearing what I said, everyone looked dumbfounded. At this time, Lao Qian raised his head and grabbed a handful of willow leaves from the willow branch above.
When he saw that it had turned into a withered leaf the moment he got it, he couldn't help but said: "This seems to be really dead. Could it be that what we saw was an illusion or some kind of illusion?"
?”
I shook my head and said: "Generally, trees that have survived for ten thousand years or close to ten thousand years have become spirits. This thing is just like those blue-spotted teng trees we see in the woods. They have already become spirits."
It has developed some spiritual intelligence, otherwise do you think this willow tree can really grow what the Zari people call the heart of the holy willow tree?"
"But the willow tree in front of us still retains a kind of power when it was alive, which makes the whole tree still look like it has lush branches. If my guess is correct, as long as anything touches the willow tree,
Willow branches or leaves will break from it, and it is estimated that this willow tree has been dead for nearly a thousand years."
After hearing what I said, everyone nodded, and Xu Tiandao said: "If you say so, wouldn't this willow tree be killed by the Zari tribe?"
I nodded: "That should be it. Okay, let's not worry about whether the willow tree is dead or alive. Now everyone divides into two groups and starts to explore the surroundings. If I guessed correctly, the entrance to the tomb should be there.
It’s around.”
After hearing what I said, everyone nodded, and then they started walking in groups of two in different directions around them.
Of course, Xu Tian and we are still a team now.
Among us, Li Kun can be said to have the best luck. Li Kun has found the entrance to the tomb several times, and this time I believe that Li Kun can find it again.
But when I turned around, I saw that guy Li Kun was dragging Hu Dalong and running in a panic toward a deserted place.
Hu Dalong was still yelling about running slowly, but Li Kun's words immediately made Xu Tian and us laugh.
Li Kun said: "Stop talking nonsense. We are a team now. You have to follow me no matter what I do. Hurry up, I can't hold it in for a while."
As he said that, Li Kun held Hu Dalong's hand with one hand and covered his stomach with the other. The two began to run towards a deserted place.
I smiled bitterly, and then Xu Tian said to me: "It seems that we can't count on this guy Li Kun this time."
After saying that, the two of us also walked towards the other side of the big tree.
At this time, I still took out the dragon-seeking disk from my arms. Although I already knew that the tomb was here, it was more appropriate to use the dragon-seeking disk to explore it.
I put the dragon-seeking disk in my hand, and then recited the dragon-seeking mantra. After I finished speaking, I tapped the center of the dragon-seeking disk.
Chapter completed!
