This ancient tree is also quite large, its entire body is silvery white, and its thick trunk requires at least three people to hug it.
Although this ancient tree is called an ancient tree, it is actually the roots of a ground vein tree growing from the ground, so there are no leaves or anything like that on the tree.
On the huge stone wall behind the petrified ancient tree, there are some patterns carved with golden brushstrokes.
These patterns are consistent with the patterns on the secret realm gate, but they are clearer and more comprehensive than the patterns on the secret realm gate.
On this pattern, Jiang Bai saw the three-leaf pattern that was exactly the same as the pattern engraved on the mora.
He previously thought that this pattern might have some special meaning, but after guessing for a long time, he couldn't find any reasonable answer.
Now it seems that this pattern is very versatile and may have more of a symbolic role.
It symbolizes Teyvat, or it symbolizes something else.
"Let's get started. Just touch your hands." Albedo said.
The four of them stretched out their hands and placed their palms on the silver-white ancient tree.
The silver-white ancient tree is cold to the touch, but it does not have the rough feel of a normal big tree, but feels like smooth steel.
Jiang Bai closed his eyes, and a series of scattered scenes appeared in front of his eyes.
That was quite a long time ago.
In the past, this snow mountain was not called Longji Snow Mountain. It had no name and was just a green mountain range.
That is the blessing from the silver-white ancient tree.
Before the wind god appeared and the land of Mondstadt was still covered in ice and snow, this huge mountain range on the west side was the only paradise.
One day, a group of people came here.
They settled here and lived here.
God’s messengers descended from the sky to teach them knowledge and lead them towards a better life.
Under the guidance of God's messenger, people established sacrifices at the highest point of the mountain and built various magnificent buildings.
They prayed to the sky and listened to the voices from the sky.
Under the guidance of the divine envoy, the priest came to the location of the ancient silver tree in the mountain and learned its function.
The country was gradually established, and the man who could listen to the voice of the gods became the king, and named the country [Shar Fendenir].
With the blessings of divine messengers and earth lines, this country developed at an extremely fast speed and reached its peak with the birth of the princess.
The princess was born under a white tree. Her name is unknown, but in people's hearts, she is as bright as the moonlight.
Time passed little by little, like a new chapter in a book.
Disaster strikes suddenly.
The princess dreamed of a dark dragon that covered the sky and the sun.
That same month, a warrior from a foreign country came here and fell in love with the princess at first sight.
However, not long after, the spike fell from the sky and broke into three pieces, destroying the white tree that protected the land.
The ancient country was shrouded in ice and snow overnight, and a large number of people died in the sudden cold.
The voice from the sky no longer came, and people were at a loss, not knowing what they had done wrong to anger the sky.
They followed the guidance of the sky and listened to the teachings of the divine messengers without overstepping the mark.
Why did the sky suddenly drop such a punishment?
With many doubts, the king tried to climb to the top of the mountain and seek guidance from the sky. However, he failed to hear the voice from the sky and could not return.
The princess led the remaining tribesmen to take refuge in the cave below, keeping each other warm in the cold wind.
The princess picked off the most intact branches from the white tree, and while painting the mural, she tried her best to extend its life.
However, the grafted life never survived.
The desperate princess can only pin her last hope on her lover from a foreign country.
She ordered someone to forge a sword with star silver, hoping that her lover could use this sword to cut through the snow and find a way to save the motherland.
When parting, the princess once said:
"I believe that the cheerful and noisy birds will follow your footsteps and fly back to the lush summer palace garden again."
"Those creatures driven away by the cold wave, the poor children who have lost their hometown, will return to the nest in their dreams with you."
"But if the timidity and despair in your nature overwhelm you and make you never come back, then..."
".Please live. Please don't go to destruction with us and be lost in the cold oblivion."
However, the princess could not wait for the hero's triumph after all.
Amidst the bitter cold, longing and guilt, the princess's life came to an end.
The glory of the ancient country has also come to an end.
The reporter set up several stone tablets in the mountain to record everything that happened. Finally, he came to the place where the princess transplanted the white branches, and quietly watched the transplanted new branches until the end of consciousness.
The story ends here, and the consciousness of several people exited the silver-white ancient tree.
After reading the short history of this ancient country, several people felt as if their hearts were heavy, like a huge stone weighing on them.
Different from the feeling when reading Carlos's diary, the content seen from this silver-white ancient tree is more comprehensive and more uncomfortable.
Even Keli, who didn't know much, felt extremely uncomfortable. She drooped her head and looked at the ground, unable to relax for a while.
There was silence in the air for quite some time.
In the end, it was Albedo who sighed first and hugged Keli.
"Brother Abe, I feel so uncomfortable, I really want to cry..." Keli hugged his head, her eyes red.
"Oh, I shouldn't have let you see it." Albedo sighed in a low voice.
For Keli at this age, it is too early to be exposed to this kind of thing.
Abedo stroked her back gently and said, "Cry if you want."
"Woooooooo..."
Keli's crying changed from suppressed to unbridled, and finally burst into tears.
"Let's get out of here."
After leaving the secret realm, Jiang Bai breathed a long sigh of relief, and the depressing feeling dissipated a lot.
Seeing Hu Tao, he was still speechless and kept silent.
Jiang Bai took out a sweet flower and handed it to her, "Master, don't you want to eat something sweet? It will make you feel better."
Hutao took the sweet flower from him and stuffed a whole one into her mouth.
The sweetness spread from her lips and teeth, making her feel a little better.
No wonder Katis has this obsession. After reading the history of this ancient country, she almost becomes obsessed...
Keli wiped away her tears, jumped down from Albedo's arms, and stared at the Hantian Nail that had been blown into pieces.
"Kelly is going to blow up this nasty big nail again!"
Her eyes were red, her cheeks bulged angrily, and her eyes were full of fierceness.
Abedo knew that it would be impossible not to let her vent her anger at this time.
He coaxed: "Okay, okay, blow it up! Blow up this big bad guy!"
Jiang Bai has no intention of getting involved in Keli's venting of anger. He just wants to warm up to the fire now.
"Master, let's go over there and warm ourselves by the fire."
"Um."
Hutao nodded and walked towards the camp without interest.
Even after they left for a while, the fire still burned and did not go out.
