I have to say that Professor Zhang is actually very good at comforting people. His simple words rekindled my lost hope.
Professor Zhang then told the next story.
Before falling on the tree, Professor Zhang had been walking alone in the corridor for a long time. When he smelled the fragrance of those flowers, he suddenly felt thirsty and hungry. He didn't know why, even though he didn't know what they were at the time.
Flower, still couldn't help but open his mouth and take the petals of the grave flower nearest to him into his mouth.
The characteristics of the Grave Flower were very strange. Once it came into his mouth, it turned into a sweet juice and flowed down his tongue and into his throat.
As the juice from the flower flowed into his stomach, he felt that his stomach was no longer hungry or thirsty, and his whole body was full of strength. Even the minor injuries he suffered along the way were miraculously healed.
.
At that time, he thought that if these flowers could be picked off, they could be stored as food, which would be much better than those compressed biscuits and the like.
So he tried to pick those beautiful flowers.
Who knew that as soon as those flowers left the branches, they instantly turned into smelly black water, even exuding the smell of rotting corpses, and the stench was unpleasant.
Professor Zhang simply thought he was hallucinating, so he reached out to pick another Tomb Flower. An even more terrifying thing happened. As the flower was picked from the branch and turned into foul-smelling black water, other flowers
The flowers also withered one after another, turning into black water and dripping to the ground.
He couldn't believe his eyes. He had no idea that his actions would completely destroy the entire tree of flowers. He even thought that if he had known this, he might as well have eaten a few more flowers.
But the facts have become like this, and he can only accept it.
It wasn't until later that he checked countless information and found out that the world said that the flower of the grave only blooms once. In fact, this is not the case at all. It blooms on a tree, but people can only eat one, and they must eat it from the branches.
, if you are greedy and eat a second flower, the sweet and tonic flower of the tomb spirit that can increase vitality will turn into poison that penetrates the intestines, and you will die immediately after eating it.
By chance, Professor Zhang only ate one.
He didn't know this at the time, and slid down the tree trunk to the ground with infinite regret. He saw that the places where the tomb flowers fell turned into pools of black and smelly muddy water. The muddy water was gurgling, and something like a snake was faintly coming from those places.
Poke his head out of the muddy water.
Professor Zhang was immediately shocked. Regardless, he dug out a handful of dry soil from the ground with his bare hands and filled one of the muddy puddles.
After the dry soil was filled into the mud puddle, the snake-like thing with its head sticking out disappeared. On the contrary, a young sapling grew in that place.
He was so pleasantly surprised that he kept digging out dry soil from the ground with his bare hands and filling in the black and smelly mud puddles. He didn't know how long it took, but he finally filled the mud puddles one by one, and a large number of saplings grew on the ground.
.
Then he didn't feel tired at all. What's even more strange is that even though he dug dry soil with his hands for so long, there wasn't even a scratch on his hands.
Since leaving school and joining the archaeological team, Professor Zhang has taken life and death very lightly. He was not in a hurry to leave this place, but instead looked around the huge Huangquan tree.
The Huangquan tree was so thick that it would take at least ten people to hug it. After studying it for a long time, Professor Zhang remembered that he should find his teammates and started looking for a place to go out.
However, this place didn't look very big. There was basically no other space except for this yellow spring tree. The entrance of the hole where he fell was so high that it was almost impossible to see it, and it was even impossible to climb up from that hole.
So he thought of a way to climb up the Yellow Spring Tree, maybe he could get out.
He climbed up the huge yellow spring tree and was surprised to find that there were many colorful snakes wrapped around the trunk. Fortunately, although those snakes looked shocking and terrifying, they did not mean to bite him.
, even made way for him to climb up to the top of the tree.
He didn’t know how long he had been climbing. Professor Zhang finally saw the faint treetops, but he desperately discovered that the top of the treetops was not the sky, but the top of the tomb. Only then did he realize that this tree actually grew on the top of the tomb.
Underneath the tomb.
Professor Zhang was almost desperate.
At this time, a little golden snake swam towards him from a distance along the trunk of the tree. The little golden snake had a pair of dark eyes. Those eyes were very pure and spiritual. The little golden snake looked at him with kindness.
, spitting the letter at him, as if he wanted to tell him something.
He curiously crawled toward the little golden snake. When he saw it crawling toward him, the little snake turned around and swam in another direction. After swimming five or six meters away, it turned back and used its pure black eyes.
Looking at him.
Professor Zhang immediately understood that the little golden snake wanted him to follow him.
He didn't think much and followed directly.
After one person and one snake climbed up the tree for about an hour, a tree hole the size of a person appeared in front of Professor Zhang's eyes. The little golden snake swung its tail and swam into the tree hole and disappeared.
He crawled towards the tree hole, put his head into the tree hole and looked up. He saw nothing could be seen in the darkness, and even the light from the flashlight seemed to have no end.
Professor Zhang felt that it would be better to take a gamble than to die trapped in this place. Without much hesitation, he got into the tree hole and climbed up.
The tree hole was very long and almost endless. After climbing for about two or three hours, a faint light came from above his head.
Professor Zhang struggled to climb up. After about a hundred meters, Professor Zhang found that he had climbed out of the tree hole. Outside was the forest outside the ancient tomb. The bright moonlight fell on him through the forest.
He actually came out of the ancient tomb so mysteriously.
When he turned back to look at the tree hole, he found that there was nothing on the ground, except fallen leaves and soil, and there was no shadow of the tree hole at all. He searched for that place for a long time, but could not find where he came from.
Climbed out of the place.
Just when he was stunned, the rescue team arrived, and he was surprised to find that they had stayed in the ancient tomb for nearly a month, but he felt that it had only been one day.
None of his seven teammates came out.
The rescue team sent a group of elites to search for his teammates, but in the end they only found the bodies of six people. All of them had starved to death, but the last one could not be found at all. There was no one alive or dead.
Later, the organization reassigned a large number of people to excavate the ancient tomb, and found that it was an emperor's tomb that had an extremely short existence that was not recorded in history. However, as the excavation deepened, the huge Huangquan tree was not found.
The body of the missing teammate was not found, but he always felt that that teammate might not be dead after all.
Because he later read in an ancient book that Huangquan wood was alive. Like humans and animals, it could move with its own consciousness. Although it moved very slowly, it could completely avoid all dangers.
Therefore, Professor Zhang felt that maybe his teammate followed the underworld tree and went somewhere else. Until now, he was still worried about finding someone and almost went to the Qinling Mountains again. He also wanted to find the missing person.
