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 somewhere else?" He looked at it carefully several times after getting the golden palm.
, I didn’t pay attention to it after entering the dense forest, and I don’t know where it fell. In this vast forest, and the dark underground river, it is impossible to find it again. This is no different from finding a needle in a haystack: “Forget it, that thing is not there anyway.”
It’s of no use. Since the things were found here, there must be similar things here.”
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 only a short section was exposed.
Bing Zhixie discovered that the top layer of the roots of these big trees was not deeply buried in the ground. Many of the roots and branches were half buried and half hidden, half exposed and half buried in the soil. The trunks of the big trees here did not look like
The main trunk of a poplar tree is a straight pillar. It is made up of many branches twisted together. The branches are many and vines, making it look very ancient.
As he 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
It is pink. At first glance, I thought it was a petal. Its branches are not very lush, but more like the large potted plants in some hotels and shopping malls. It is not easy to survive under such 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, four. Look.
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? If it was a coincidence, it was a little bit coincidental.
He circled the trees to confirm again, and 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 did I not pay attention before, and there are not four trees there?" He wanted to confirm.
This can be known by looking under another big tree. 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 turned back and looked at the two trees in front. The second tree was still there.
He could clearly see that the first tree was already a little far away, but he could still see its outline. He found that the distance between the trees here seemed to be the same, and although the three closest trees were not in a straight line
, but it forms a 90-degree right angle.
Bing Zhixie's heart moved and he quickly jumped into the air. There was no shelter around here. Although the light was hazy, it was very balanced. A vague shadow could also be seen on the trees further away. He immediately saw that the trees here were not
They grow randomly, but are 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 very strange, because although they were scattered in various places in the pit and valley, there were never two stones next to each other. He flew up to the sky before
You can see that the adjacent black boulders here are arranged at the same distance. They are like an overlapping triangle, and all adjacent stones are equidistant from each other.
"Weird." Bing Zhixie muttered in his heart. It's strange. Everywhere in this valley seems strange. Everything here is obviously not generated by nature: "What is he trying to hide? Or...
What does he want people to discover?"
He, of course, refers to the person, or those people, who did all this. There is obviously some secret in the strange layout here.
Bing Zhixie did not fall back to the ground. He flew straight towards the largest giant tree in the middle. Since everything here is strange, the most conspicuous place in the middle is naturally the strangest place.
The closer he flew, the more he could feel the hugeness of the tree. Bing Zhixie remembered a legend. He couldn't remember what the legend was about. 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 was shocked when he heard the adventurers describe the giant tree. 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 catkins, sometimes like those tree fairies and flower demons in stories that fly back into their nests. But most of those stories are beautiful.
It's a pleasant story, but here, I just feel weird. The ugly tree in front of me seems to be a huge twisted monster, which rules this place. But there are no pink trees around this big tree.
The surroundings are still very quiet, so quiet that you can only hear the sound of leaves blowing in the wind on the top of the tree. Isn't it strange that no bird has nested in such a big tree?
Bing Zhixie landed on the root of the tree. Part of the banyan tree's root system 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 scary. He remembered that
In certain 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 are very evil human sacrifices.
The boys and girls were tied naked to the tree in a circle, and then their blood veins were cut, and the roots of the tree were covered with blood. Those children could still see their own blood drying before they died, which was very scary.
After looking around, he didn't find anything strange. Bing Zhixie thought to himself, 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 tree. The 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 among the trees. Its crown is like a big umbrella holding up the sky. Many of them are hundreds of years old.
The canopy of the banyan tree is already very large. When the weather is hot, the old people like to sit under the shady old banyan tree in rocking chairs to cool off and tell some interesting stories to their grandchildren.
Generally, large trees with prosperous crowns will have more prosperous root systems.
Bingzhixie flew among the countless branches. He didn't find anything. Except for the abnormal ones, everything here was normal. However, he still found some things that had nothing to do with what he was looking for. He found something in this tree.
I saw a lot of fruits on the tree. This kind of fruit is relatively large and oval, like a big olive. Because it is green, I didn't notice it at first.
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 this was a dense forest anyway, so he didn't have to worry.
He couldn't find anything to eat, but he had never seen the big fruit in front of him, and he didn't know if it could be eaten. He cut it open with an ice knife and saw that the outer layer of the fruit was green and gradually became lighter, and the inside was a ball.
It has white flesh and some black stuff, and it smells of a peculiar fragrance.
Throwing down the fruit, Bing Zhixie jumped off 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 could get far, he saw something in the distance.
