"Old Itch, what is that standing upright in that deep pit? Is it the bronze tree you mentioned?"
As soon as Ding Ze's random thoughts emerged, Wu Xie suddenly asked Lao Chu.
Lao Itch nodded directly, "Yeah."
In response, Lao Itch walked straight forward, "Come on, come on - come closer and take a look, you will - you will be surprised."
Wu Xie didn't hesitate and quickly followed.
The same goes for Ding Ze.
The three of them walked forward quickly.
soon.
Because of the three flashlights shining straight forward, the distance to the pit was gradually shortened... The spectacular scene in the pit gradually revealed the true face of Mount Lushan.
Not long after.
It is almost erected in the center of the deep pit, with a diameter of about ten meters. It is almost as if it is inserted into the pit, going straight up, the unattainable curved copper wall-like bronze tree clearly appears in the field of vision of the three people.
among.
"Fuck!" Wu Xie saw this and immediately stopped his feet, giving a loud shock.
Hearing the sound, Ding Ze and Lao Chu stopped one after another and did not move forward.
Lao Itch smiled and said, "Old Wu, how--what, you must be shocked."
Wu Xie was stunned and nodded blankly, "I'm really shocked! This kind of thing..."
Shocked, Wu Xie spoke intermittently.
"How could such a giant bronze vessel appear here? Who was it, and in what era did it exist..."
Wu Xie was so startled that he muttered for a while, then suddenly turned his head and looked at Ding Ze, "Brother Ding, I remember you said that there is a bronze tree in the ruins of the ancient She Kingdom..."
"Is it this?" Wu Xie asked, pointing to the bronze tree about ten meters in front of him.
"It should be," Ding Ze didn't give in. After giving the answer, he pretended to be surprised and sighed, "I didn't expect that this thing really exists."
Wu Xie heard this and hurriedly asked, "What is the specific situation of this ancient She country? Which dynasty is it in the same period as we know?"
After hearing the words, Ding Ze shook his head decisively, considering that there were more than 100 million dumb viewers watching in the live broadcast room at the moment.
"I also heard from my friends, but I don't know much about it. I only know that the She State was a mysterious small country that was active in the Qinling Mountains about three thousand years ago."
Hear this.
Wu Xie's brows moved, "Three thousand years ago? That must be BC, Xia, Shang and Zhou were all possible... Brother Ding, didn't your friend give a rough time range? Three thousand years, plus or minus a few hundred
Year?"
Ding Ze shook his head again, "No, he doesn't know too well."
"Hey," Wu Xie sighed and didn't ask any more questions. He looked at the bronze tree again with a puzzled look on his face, "No matter which period it was in the Xia, Shang and Zhou dynasties, with the smelting level of humans at that time, it was absolutely impossible to create such a tree.
The giant bronze tree’s…”
"For this thing to appear here is simply a miracle!"
Wu Xie muttered for a while, then raised his feet and continued to move towards the bronze tree.
"The first time I looked at this thing, I thought I saw the Dinghai Shenzhen," Lao Chu followed suit and said to Wu Xie at the same time.
"Then I got closer and took a closer look, and I realized that this thing should be a bronze tree."
"Old Wu, you know a lot about cultural relics. Do you know what this thing means when it stands here?"
Wu Xie: "The history of Xia, Shang and Zhou dynasties is very missing. Those historians dare not say how much they really know."
"I only know a little bit about it."
"So, I think the reason why this thing was erected here is probably only known by the person who originally erected it here."
As Wu Xie spoke, his words suddenly stopped and his expression changed, "Damn it, I suddenly figured it out."
"Those mine tunnels above are not mine tunnels at all, but are the tunnels dug by certain people...most likely those Qing Dynasty officers and soldiers in order to dig out this bronze tree!"
"What the hell, they dug so many tunnels all the way down to this deep underground. They have been digging here for who knows how many years, but they still haven't been able to dig to the bottom of this bronze tree."
"Then this thing is inserted into the ground. How deep does it go?"
Wu Xie said in one breath, his face and tone full of shock and confusion.
Lao Itch scratched his head, "I also thought about this problem last time."
"I think this thing might have been inserted all the way into hell."
Wu Xie: "..."
The word hell appears.
Wu Xie turned his head and glanced at Lao Chu, and said in an obviously speechless tone, "Don't talk nonsense."
"How could I just--just talk nonsense," Lao Itch was unhappy after being scolded, and replied, "I think it's really--it's really possible."
"Think about it, those officers and soldiers of the Qing Dynasty obviously dug for several years before they dug here."
"Then why---why didn't they keep digging---down?"
"Why--why were they all--killed and buried casually--in that cave above?"
Lao Itchi retorted.
Words enter the air.
Wu Xie was speechless for a while and frowned tightly.
Ding Ze saw this, thought about it, and felt that this matter could be discussed to pave the way, so he spoke.
"Old Itch, although the question you raised is very important, the idea of hell is a bit too nonsense."
"I think your two questions can actually have more reasonable explanations."
As soon as these words came out.
Wu Xie and Lao Chu immediately looked at Ding Ze in tacit understanding.
"How do you say it?" Old Itch asked.
Ding Ze smiled.
"This is just my idea. I can't guarantee whether this is the case. However, I personally feel that there is a high chance that my idea will be correct."
After making a statement and talking some nonsense, Ding Ze continued.
"Based on the information we know so far, I think the mission those officers and soldiers came here to perform is most likely to dig out this bronze tree..."
"They dug for several years, then suddenly stopped digging, and then died here... The most likely, or more reasonable explanation is that they dug something or something very special in this pit.
It’s so special that after the big shots above saw it, they felt it had to be kept secret.”
"The big shot decided to keep it secret, so it makes sense that those officers and soldiers would be killed and silenced and buried deep underground, wouldn't it?"
After Wu Xie and Lao Chu listened, they remained silent for a while.
"It's reasonable. The question is, what would require the lives of thousands of high-ranking officers and soldiers to achieve the purpose of keeping it secret?" Wu Xie asked, frowning and being silent for a while.
road.
Ding Ze did not answer immediately, but took out a cigarette first, lit one leisurely, and then moved his mouth, "Comrade Wu Xie, the answer to this question is actually not that difficult to guess. If you think about it carefully, you should be able to think of it.
of."
Wu Xie: "????"
The confusion on his forehead increased several times in an instant. At the same time, Wu Xie's brows quickly wrinkled into a ball. In the meantime, he was racking his brains, and it was obvious that he didn't want to do it.
"Many of the corpses in the cave above had official positions above the fifth rank during their lifetime... Plus, so many people came here to dig up the bronze trees..."
"These two facts basically mean that those officers and soldiers did not obey the orders of a certain high official, but obeyed the orders of...the emperor!"
"That is to say, assuming your guess is correct, Brother Ding, the person who decided to kill and silence was the emperor at that time."
"The Emperor needs to keep the things dug up by the officers and soldiers secret... That thing cannot be gold, silver or other items..."
Wu Xie was talking, his words paused briefly, and then he blinked his eyes repeatedly, his eyes instantly becoming complicated and indescribable.
"Could it be said that the things dug out by those officers and soldiers in this pit are related to immortality?"
Faced with Wu Xie's inquiry.
Ding Ze smiled and took a long breath of smoke. He did not confirm or deny. He just moved his eyes generously and looked at Lao Itch, signaling Wu Xie to ask Lao Itch.
He believed that Wu Xie could understand.
Wu Xie did understand.
No, Wu Xie's eyes almost immediately fell on Lao Itch's face.
"Lao Itch, that great benefit you mentioned is immortality?" Wu Xie asked in a solemn tone.
Lao Itch was stunned for a moment, then quickly shook his head, "No, if it was --- it was immortality, I would have told --- you directly."
"Not immortality??" Wu Xie raised his eyebrows, put on a suspicious attitude, and asked again, "What is that?"
Lao Itch pointed at the top of the bronze tree: "I can't tell you specifically. When you get to the top, you can see for yourself."
Wu Xie was startled, frightened, and unhappy: "╮(╯▽╰)╭, do you still have to go up there?"
"Well, Lao Wu, you don't--you don't need to look at me like this. I really didn't--I didn't lie to you. The good thing is up there."
"After you go up there and see the benefits, you will definitely be satisfied."
Wu Xie didn't reply, he just raised his head and looked at the part of the bronze tree that extended into the darkness above without saying a word.
Lao Itch saw this and added, "Old Wu, let's go - we're here. Climb up - a few steps. What's the big deal?"
"Besides, look at this--this bronze tree, there are so many sticks on it. Climbing it is just like climbing stairs. It doesn't take much effort at all."
When Wu Xie heard this, he looked away, looked at Lao Itchi for a few seconds, then turned to look at Ding Ze, "Brother Ding, do you want to crawl?"
Ding Ze held a cigarette in his mouth and without hesitation, nodded with a smile, "Climb, maybe there will be the truth about those officers and soldiers who were silenced. I am quite interested in this matter."
"Well," Wu Xie responded and turned to Lao Itch, "Lao Itch, I will accompany you once more. You have to think about it. If I find you cheating on me after you go up, I promise to kick you down!"
!”
Lao Itch: "..."
Giving Wu Xie a rolling look, Lao Itch shook his head helplessly, said nothing, and walked towards the bronze tree not far away.
Ding Ze and Wu Xie stopped talking and followed suit.
--------------------------
[Your ancestor] in the live broadcast room.
"I'm going! Look at this rhythm, this live broadcast is superb, it's coming!! (p≧w≦q)!!" Some spectators said excitedly.
"Upstairs, do you need to be so evil? Can't you just say that the exciting part is about to come?"
"???Please, that's what I meant. Where did you think you were going?"
“(⊙o⊙)…….It’s nothing, I didn’t think about anything…”
"Haha, you lsp upstairs is exposed. Come on, be honest, you thought of some kind of scene accompanied by a sound like 'ah oh um', right?"
"→_→!!"
"Damn it! You guys are done. What are you talking about in the middle of the night? Can't you come up with some related pictures and videos? What's the point of chatting?"
"Σ(⊙▽⊙"a????This twist, what the hell, is worthy of the audience of this live broadcast room, my little sister admires it!"
"Wow! Girl? Are you feeling empty, lonely and cold if you stay up so late and watch the live broadcast?"
"(#￣～￣#)!! Get out!"
It won't take a moment.
The conversation style in the comment area of the live broadcast room once again went completely wrong, and they were on the path of evil.
"Judging from the comments in the comment area, there are so many singles and Goubuli in this era. It's so late at night, even if you don't sleep and watch the live broadcast, you can actually get excited while watching the tomb robbing live broadcast.
It’s really powerful, but it’s also really pitiful!”
"I really sympathize with you... Hey, suddenly, I feel very ashamed of my current situation. I feel like I am a little sinful..."
Ding dong, Lao Wang next door got excited and spoke.
A group of spectators said: "????"
"Nima, Mr. Wang next door, why are you so showy?"
"Come here, drag it out, cut it into pieces and feed it to the dogs!"
"I guess dogs won't even eat it because they'll find it disgusting."
"..."
The single spectators were immediately stimulated and filled with indignation, and they all pointed their guns at Lao Wang next door.
At this time, the wealthy man who had not seen me for a long time and had been peeping at the screen smoked, drank, and permed his hair, and said, "Hey, I am really old. I really don't understand what young people are thinking about nowadays."
The local tycoon and ordinary people said: "Haha, the waves behind the Yangtze River push the waves in front, and the waves in front die on the beach. We are falling behind. It is normal and we don't need to worry too much."
Smoking, drinking, and perming his hair: "That's true, I'd better concentrate on watching the live broadcast. It seems that the answers to the various mysteries ahead will soon appear one after another."
Ping Yijinren: "That should be it. What do you think the great benefit is? Is it something related to immortality?"
Smoking, drinking, and perming your hair: "I'm afraid not..."
The two of them had a discussion, and their style of conversation was particularly refreshing compared to the noisy style of the audience.
--------------------------
In the center of the pit, next to the bronze tree.
Wu Xie was shocked and curious, so he walked around the bronze tree, widening his eyes and looking at it carefully.
Ding Ze and Lao Itchi didn't move.
However, he did not move, but because, on the one hand, he had to behave as naturally as possible, on the other hand, he was indeed a little interested in the bronze tree... Ding Ze was still quite attentive.
Started to look around.
I saw that it was the same as described in the original work.
The surface of the bronze tree body is not flat and smooth, and is engraved with clouds and thunder patterns of quite complex shapes.
In the pattern of cloud and thunder pattern, the cloud pattern is on the top and the thunder pattern is on the bottom. The overall look is really quite lifelike.
The bronze branches are also engraved with cloud and thunder patterns. There are deep gaps between these cloud and thunder patterns, and the gaps extend into the trunk of the tree.
His eyes fell on the gaps in the branches.
'Master Liang is not here now, he is probably in the tree.'
'It seems like I should pretend to be a master.'
Ding Ze was holding a cigarette in his mouth and suddenly thought.
