[I post this chapter in the middle of the night to thank Albee for his 30,000-yuan reward and Dielian Beifeng for his 10,000-yuan reward. Thank you very much]
I saw the ghost boy in front of me trembling all over as if he had been electrocuted, and he spat out two words from his dry mouth.
"As you command!"
"He understands!",
When Chen Zhi's mind just reacted, the ghost boy in front of him had disappeared. Chen Zhi hurriedly looked up and saw the ghost boy hanging on the top of the bookshelf, crawling up like a spider quickly.
Disappearing into the darkness above.
After about a few minutes, the ghost boy crawled back out of the darkness and stood in front of Chen Zhi. He bowed forward and raised his hands. He held a scroll wrapped in gold foil and handed it to Chen Zhi.
"You found it so quickly? You are really amazing!"
Chen Zhi couldn't help but praise that he was now very satisfied with the efficiency of the ghost boy in the pavilion, but at the same time, he saw that the chubby little hands of the ghost boy were full of frayed and cracked wounds. Some of the wounds were too deep due to their age.
The bones inside have been exposed, giving people an unbearable feeling.
"Is this Guimu's information?"
After Chen Zhi took the scroll from the ghost boy's hand, he casually asked in divine language.
"Zi~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Honor your order!"
The ghost boy's upper and lower jaws were tightly closed, his withered lips remained motionless, and he uttered vague words in agreement.
"Don't you know what else to say?" Chen Zhi continued to ask in stilted divine writing.
"Zi~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Honor your orders!"
The ghost boy looked extremely painful, as if he couldn't open his mouth, and squeezed out these two words.
"Why can't you just say this?" Chen Zhi wondered in his heart and slowly opened the scroll in his hand.
As the scroll of gold foil was opened, the gold foil instantly flew all over the sky, like a cloud of gold dust. The sky was filled with gold, forming the shape of a big tree, which was very beautiful.
After opening the scroll, what you see is a full divine text.
In front of the divine text is a large tree with a strange posture. This large tree has no branches and stretches straight upward like a stick.
Next to the picture are marked four sacred characters - Fuso Sacred Tree.
Behind the picture is a long text introducing this sacred hibiscus tree.
These texts are all written in sacred characters, which describe the origin and origin of the Fuso Sacred Tree, as well as the relationship between the Fuso Sacred Tree and the ghost tree.
"The tallest tree in the world, the hibiscus has no branches. It reaches up to the sky, winds and bends downwards, leading to three springs. Two trees grow occasionally from the same root, and they are more dependent on each other, so they are called fusang..."
There were several chapters filled with words, and Chen Zhi started to sweat as he read them. The main content of the book was that in the land where the sun rises in the east, there is a sacred hibiscus tree, which is the tallest thing in the world.
There are no side branches or leaves, just a trunk that goes straight to the heaven, but its rhizome is winding. This hibiscus sacred tree is composed of two trees that are nestled against each other and grow from the same root, one male tree and one female tree, and the two trees are underground.
The roots are intertwined together and can connect the three realms of God, the human world and the underworld.
The Fuso Sacred Tree grows in the human world, and its trunk can lead upwards to the divine world. The underground rhizomes can be made into boats to lead to the underworld. Therefore, the roots of the Fuso Sacred Tree are called ghost trees. This ghost wood is extremely cold and melts when exposed to sunlight.
It will crack when exposed to fire and can only be stored in extremely wet and cold places. Because the sacred tree is where the gods live and is controlled by the gods, ghost trees are extremely rare.
"It turns out that the ghost tree is taken from the roots of the Fuso Sacred Tree. No wonder the ghost boat it rides on can walk on the Wangchuan River, connecting the human world and the underworld. However, the Fuso Sacred Tree has long been a legendary divine object and has probably disappeared.
It’s been nearly 100 million years. In this era, where should we look for it?”,
Chen Zhi was thinking in his mind and continued to look down.
Below the text is an original quote once quoted in "The Classic of Mountains and Seas". Chen Zhi also once read the original text in "The Classic of Mountains and Seas".
"The Classic of Mountains and Seas? Haiwaidong Jing": "There is a hibiscus in Tang Valley, and I bathed there for ten days, in the north of Heijia."
"Yutani..."
Chen Zhi knew the place Tanggu. Tanggu was the name of a region in ancient times, and its specific location was near what is now Rizhao, Shandong.
Tanggu is an extremely sacred place in myths and legends. According to historical records, the coastal area where Tanggu is located was the place where the Xihe people worshiped the sun god in ancient times. It was also the birthplace of Dongyi civilization. Many strange cultural relics have been unearthed there.
, it still cannot be explained.
"Since this scroll mentions the place Tanggu, does it mean that the sacred hibiscus tree where the sun rises in the legend really grew in Rizhao, Shandong?"
Chen Zhi was thinking silently in his heart. Before that, he had heard many legends about the Fusang tree. It is said that the Fusang tree is where the sun goddess Xihe and her son Jinwu live. Every day the sun rises in the east from the Fusang tree.
The sacred tree rose up, and when Hou Yi shot the sun, he once stood on the sacred tree and trampled it in pieces, and many more.
Now is no longer the ignorant age in ancient times. Everyone knows that the sun itself is a planet and cannot rise from a big tree. It is also impossible for the so-called Hou Yi to shoot the sun. All these are people's knowledge.
Just imagine.
But this does not mean that this kind of sacred hibiscus tree did not really exist. It may have really grown on the coastal edge of Shandong hundreds of millions of years ago. It may have been really huge. It may have been a special tree species, but it has long since become extinct.
That’s all.
Since ghost wood is the only material needed to make the Hades Boat at the moment, the only way now is to look for this legendary Fuso tree or find the fossils it left behind, even if all of this is very absurd.
Chen Zhi was thinking about these things in his mind. He memorized all the words on the scroll silently, and then handed it back to the ghost boy in front of him. When Chen Zhi was reading the scroll just now, the ghost boy had been using an extremely fierce and ferocious expression.
Staring at him, Chen Zhi realized at this moment that it turned out that the ghost boy's upper and lower jaws were not rigid and unable to move. Instead, the upper and lower teeth were sewn together, and the skin and flesh were torn, which frightened Chen Zhi.
"Isn't this so cruel?"
Chen Zhi finally couldn't bear it anymore. He approached the ghost boy cautiously, half-crouched in front of him, and carefully looked into the ghost boy's lips. He saw that the ghost boy's upper and lower teeth were sewn with dense steel wires, forming a seal.
It looked like it had been stapled in a row, and the bones and flesh had long been cracked. The extremely miserable appearance was simply unsightly.
"You can actually talk, right?"
Chen Zhi used unfluent divine writing to ask the ghost boy.
When the ghost boy saw Chen Zhi looking at his lips, his eyes became even more vicious. He shivered and backed away, his limbs extremely stiff and trembling, as if Chen Zhi was the most terrifying person in the world in his eyes.
"Don't be afraid, let me take a closer look",
As Chen Zhi spoke, he suddenly felt a heat on his fingertips, and a strange feeling rose to his right arm. The subconscious in his brain sent him a message that he had the ability to lift this seal.
