Chapter 350: Kunlun Sacred Tree
Damn it, what on earth is the tough seventh brother laughing at? Apart from himself, only the devil knows!
Ya led the six monsters and seven white horses of sweat and blood, and walked slowly towards the mountains!
Along the way, they meandered over hillsides, through valleys, and forded streams. Sometimes they had to follow the dry riverbed and step on pebbles the size of eggplants.
When the girls passed a section of cliff, they looked up and found a small cliff tomb on the cliff more than 100 meters high, with a row of six gray hanging coffins on both sides. These hanging coffins are usually the resting place of ordinary grass roots.
Regardless of its attraction and value, it was the cliff tomb that aroused Brother Qi's strong interest.
At this time, Xuedizi, who had always been silent, gave a cold look, touched his bearded dog-like pizza face, shook the terrible scars on his face a few times, looked at Brother Seven, and said with an uncharacteristically sinister expression.
: "Maybe there is some priceless treasure inside! Why don't we go up and have a look?"
When Seventh Brother heard this, he immediately raised his hand to set up the awning like Bima Wen, and looked up. He also wanted to see what fresh funerary objects there were inside, so he let the five monsters stay where they were and laughed at the blood drops.
Zi said: "Come on, Didi, you and I will go up there."
After saying that, he walked to the bottom of the cliff in a few steps, used his hands and feet together, performed the gecko skill, and climbed up the rock! Although this guy is tall and powerful, his rock climbing gecko skill is really good. He has practiced it with his master Ziyang Zhenren in Wudang Mountain since he was a child.
Really good at mountain climbing and rock climbing.
However, Xue Lizi is not a bad person either. Although this guy was born as a butcher, he has practiced martial arts very well and ranks second among the seven tomb robbers in kung fu.
At this time, Ya looked at Snake King Erdan inexplicably, then turned around, reached out his hand to the lower left of Brother Qi very experiencedly, grabbed a protruding rock corner above, and began to climb up.
This way, if Brother Qi falls, he won't be hit! And if Brother Qi misses, he can help him as quickly as possible. Soon, Xuedizi will catch up with Brother Qi, and his position is two heads shorter than him.
And always keep two feet horizontally and half a foot above and below him.
The cliff tomb above was more than 80 meters above the ground. When the two climbed up to the entrance of the cliff tomb, they felt the wind was very strong. They couldn't help but sit at the entrance of the cave and gasp, because the altitude here was thousands of meters and there was a serious lack of oxygen.
All I could see was the dark entrance of the cave, which opened wide like the mouth of a snow mountain monster eating people. It had been there for who knows how many years!
Brother Qi took out the Night Pearl and gestured to Xue Dizi, and the two of them got into the hole one after another in tacit agreement. The hole was full of potholes and bumpy ground! It was also uneven, turning left and right, and it was an air.
Dry natural cave.
When the seventh brother held up the luminous pearl and looked forward, he suddenly felt something like a dark cloud flying over his head, which shocked the two of them into a cold sweat. When they turned around and took a closer look, they found that it was countless cave bats that had been startled.
"What a fool!" Brother Qi cursed as he was almost in danger. He and Xue Dizi walked forward one after another, and finally reached the end of the cave.
This natural stone cave is not very special as a cliff tomb, but ordinary people cannot enter it.
The two monsters saw a huge coffin placed at the end of the cave. What surprised them was that there was a giant flower blooming on the coffin. The color was extremely bright, and it looked like a large goblet.
But it wasn't until this moment that they smelled a stench like rotten corpses mixed with smelly fish, which almost made the two guys gag!
The soaring stench also attracted a large number of snowy mountain flies and beetles, as well as some unknown small moths, to help it spread pollen. It turns out that this is the Kunlun sacred tree, and the flowers on it have an even more ridiculous name - called "corpse"
Fragrant Konjac”.
It sounds fragrant in name, but it actually smells terrible!
This kind of flower lives longer than a damn person. It can bloom for about 150 years. It is much more awesome than snow lotus and Kunlun snow chrysanthemum! This flower is about 1.8 meters tall, which is the largest flower in the world.
The largest flower species.
The two monsters saw that it had a gray rhizome similar to a potato. The giant red-purple flowers were very bright, more beautiful than anything they could have imagined!
The host on which this flower grows is the Kunlun sacred tree that has been made into a coffin. This is a miraculous product of heaven's creation. Even if the roots are cut off, it can grow on its own. When it matures, it will become a sacred wood for making coffins. The locals also regard it as a sacred tree.
This flower is called "corpse flower".
But few people have seen it, and it is only recorded in detail in ancient books.
Legend has it that even if there is only one section of the Kunlun sacred tree, even if it is separated from the soil, water and sunlight, it will still not dry up. Although it will no longer grow, it will always maintain its original appearance. If the body is stored in the Kunlun sacred tree, it will remain immortal for thousands of years.
Ancient books also say that this tree is as old as the Kunlun Mountains. At that time, Qin Shihuang sent old Chinese medicine doctor Xu Fu to the East to find the elixir of immortality!
However, Xu Fu did not dare to return to China because he could not find it, and he never returned. A few years later, Qin Shihuang realized that he would die sooner or later, so he sent people to supervise the construction of the huge Qin Shihuang Mausoleum, and also sent people to find the Kunlun sacred tree to make a coffin.
.
But in the end, the tyrant failed to find the Kunlun Sacred Tree.
In the vast Kunlun Mountains, there are also many weird things such as inverted-footed fairies, flying sticks, and kappas. The stinky chemical smell of this huge weird flower in front of you is so powerful that it can even confuse people's minds and cause them to have strong emotions.
hallucination.
This devilish strange flower is not like piranhas and pitcher plants that can directly catch nearby people or insects. Instead, it is good at using its charming color and foul smell to create one after another fantasy.
A sensory trap composed of images and illusions...
Thereby luring people to death! At the same time, in legend, the "corpse-scented konjac" around the world is also an evil spirit that guards Solomon's treasure overseas.
Not only that, the two also discovered that the surface of the Kunlun sacred wood coffin was embedded with speckled stone spirits. This was the rare but famous stone spirit ghost coffin!
The ghost coffins made of Kunlun's sacred trees and stone spirits are often very tightly sealed and unusual. Although this "stone spirit" with a strong yin energy is regarded as an ominous thing, its unique shady and cool properties can match Kunlun's ghost coffins.
The sacred tree preserves the original appearance of the corpse extremely well.
At this time, the second monster was holding his nose, and his stomach was churning. His stomach was pushed up several times. The cardia connecting the lower part of the esophagus to the upper part of the stomach was almost pushed open, and the food in the stomach almost came up.
The two monsters suppressed their nausea! This pungent smell that makes life worse than death is released from its corolla. The smell is strongest when the corolla is mature. When the flowers wither, the plant goes dormant again.
period. It is still scattered around the world.
Brother Qi could see that the so-called mother's flower was actually just an inflorescence. Its "corolla" was actually the involucre of the spadix - that is, the unique "brathe" of Araceae plants!
And the so-called "stamens" inside it are actually nothing more than spadix inflorescences. Today, Davis, the most famous botanist at Harvard University, said that the origin of the Euphorbiaceae plant to which Amorphophallus konjac belongs must be traced to
The Cretaceous period about 100 million years ago!
**! That seems to be the last era of dinosaur life. Today's research experts led by him have also deduced that after about 46 million years of evolution, the size of the corpse-scented konjac flower has also increased by 70
Nine times, damn! It’s so awesome!
At this time, Seventh Brother gestured to Xue Didizi to get out of the way, and then pulled out the sword from his back with his backhand. He heard a hissing sound, and a white light flashed in front of his eyes, and the giant corpse-scented konjac flower, one and eight meters high, appeared.
It was cut off from the stem and fell to the ground.
The insects, moths and flies were so frightened that they flew away! But this giant flower was still bright and did not break, because its flower wall was half a finger thick and very tough, like a giant wine glass, which could hide a person, or
It can hold more than 100 kilograms of mountain spring water without any problem.
Because its arm-thick stem was cut off, green mucus leaked out, and the flower was cut down to the ground, so the foul smell almost suffocated Brother Qi.
Just when he was covering his nose with his left hand and trying to insert the White Dragon Sword back into his back with his right hand, Brother Qi never expected that something - happened!
I saw the blood droplet who had always been loyal! And encouraged him to come up to hunt for novels. At this time, the terrifying dark red scar was shaking, and he suddenly snatched the sharp sword from Brother Qi's hand, grinned like a devil, and rushed towards Brother Qi like lightning.
