Seeing that we still had unconvinced expressions on our faces, Yan Jiu continued: "With Brother Geshu's strength, it is possible to pull out a tree as big as the mouth of a bowl! But Brother Geshu also tried it just now
, a tree as thick as a thumb has been torn apart, but the root cannot be pulled out, do you think it is possible? The only explanation is that it is just a branch, and I don’t know where it is connected at the bottom, so manpower is useless.”
Having said this, Yan Jiuyi turned his head and smiled at me: "Brother Qi asked me how big this tree should be. This really confused me. It's possible that the roots of the tree grow in the heart of the mountain, or it's possible that the entire mountain peak is
, is built up with this tree as the center. The formation of Shennongjia can be traced back to the uplift period of the Daba Mountains and the Qinling Mountains. At that time, let alone humans, there were only a few animals. Who knew how long this tree would grow?
How many years has it been, and I don’t know whether it grew from the mountainside or from the bottom of the mountain. It’s impossible to know how big this tree is.”
I still couldn't believe Yan Jiu's reasoning. I thought for a moment and said, "It's still hard to believe. If this tree grows in the middle of the mountain, how can it grow without sunlight? If the entire mountain peak is
With this tree as the center, how much does this mountain weigh? How come it didn't break the tree?"
Yan Jiu smiled and said, "One thing you have to know is that no matter whether the roots of this tree are in the heart of the mountain or start from the bottom of the mountain, this tree grows on the ground in the beginning.
With sunshine and sufficient water, the growth rate of trees is far faster than the growth rate of mountain peaks."
"But I prefer that the entire mountain peak is built around this tree. The bigger the tree grows and the more lush the branches and leaves, the easier it is for dust to accumulate at the bottom, because rainwater cannot clean the roots at all. Over time,
The more dust gathers, turns into soil, and covers the roots. The more it is absorbed, the more it grows, and grows into stones. The more it accumulates, the larger it accumulates, forming the prototype of a mountain. New plants will grow on the surface, and later on
, the subject can no longer tell whether it is a mountain or a tree, the tree is the mountain, and the mountain is the tree.”
Hearing this, the rest of us were completely stunned. When we saw the huge old turtle in the mountains next to the Yellow River, I already thought it was the largest species in the world. Who would have known that it would be like this when we got here?
One day, my perspective was refreshed. There was actually a big tree that grew into a mountain. I can only say that we know too little about this world.
Although Yan Jiu had made it very clear, several people still couldn't believe it. Brother Shu Wushang walked to the small tree that he had not pulled out just now, pulled out the golden sacred weapon, and dug along the roots of the tree.
Everyone stood up and gathered around, wanting to see if the results of digging could confirm Yan Jiu's speculation.
If the roots of the tree are dug out, it means that Yan Jiu's speculation just now is wrong. If the roots of the tree are not dug out, it means that Yan Jiu's speculation is most likely correct. This is the most direct and simplest.
Method.
Geshu Wushang had already dug a hole in the ground with several knives, but not a trace of the roots was exposed. When he dug deeper, there were still no roots. After digging for more than thirty centimeters, the tree body was already surrounded by stones, and the tree body was obvious.
It extends from the cracks in the stone, and there is no telling how much is buried underneath.
