Chapter 50 A Slice of Wood
Gu Yu looked at the old tower and asked:
"What is your old man's education? He's a poem!"
Lao Ta raised his face and smiled:
"This is really not a joke with you. My old man is in our village. Among his peers, he is the only one who almost graduated from elementary school."
Grain Rain:
"All the others are in junior high school?"
Old Tower:
"TUI! Others are almost two minutes old to graduate from elementary school!"
Ling Dongsolar:
"Does these words explain?"
Lao Ta spread his hands and said:
"No! My old man's terrain and geographical features mainly rely on paintings. The secret realm is such a limerick. You have to guess what he meant is that even if someone stole the book, he would not understand it."
Sister Le was anxious too:
"Then my uncle didn't teach you?"
Lao Ta wanted to cry without tears, and said:
"My old man doesn't allow me to go to Xikunlun, so he refuses to explain the Kunlun Secret Realm. I didn't know that I could get involved in Xikunlun inexplicably when I came to Xikunlun. I guess my old man didn't know this secret."
Ling Dongzhi nodded. At this time, Lao Ta would definitely not know it but say nothing. After all, we are grasshoppers on the same rope.
"Is this limerick arranged in order?"
Lao Ta nodded and said:
"Yes, in fact, most of my old man's limericks are in this order. The first part is the route, the second part, and the third part are the key methods."
Ling Dongshe thought for a moment and said:
"Then I guess the use of the middle is the route here. Since your old man has not mentioned anything else, it is correct that we should choose the intersection in the center all the way."
Now, this is the only way, I can only try it.
The four people chose the intersection in the center and continued to move forward. After moving forward for hundreds of meters, another cave like an octopus tentacle appeared. Several people still chose the intersection in the center.
From now on, Lao Ta’s father’s likable poem means this, because the holes all the way down are odd, so there must be some middle ground to guard.
After walking like this for a few hours, Lao Ta couldn't hold back and muttered:
"We are going downhill for so long, and I'm afraid we're going downhill for a few thousand meters below the ground, right? As we go deeper and deeper, how can we go against the will of heaven! Have we paid attention to it wrong?"
Guyu's observation of this world is always the most comprehensive, so the perspective of observing the world to collect information is different from that of ordinary people with just eyes.
"If we can have something to do with Xi Kunlun here, it is not the simple spatial form we see, and downward may not be downward."
Ling Dongshe was still calm and said lightly:
"Everything will turn back when extreme, don't be anxious."
More than ten hours later, the four people were so hungry that their intestines were rumbling like drums, but the road seemed to have no end. Every time they walked, there were bifurcated holes, which were odd and had a mid-range, but seemed to be endless.
"We are going downhill after walking for so long, I'm afraid it's several times deeper than the 12,262 meters of the Kra Peninsula!"
Lao Ta touched his belly and was really hungry.
Ling Dongzhi smiled and said:
"It's not that deep, and we're even on the very shallow surface, otherwise how could there be such high-quality air here? I think we may be in another latitude, in this latitude, even a very small section of the road will become very long compared to our three-dimensional body."
As he was talking, Gu Yu, who was leading the way, suddenly stopped and said:
"Open the searchlight, the location of the bifurcation hole in front is dangerous, so we must be careful to go around."
Lao Ta narrowed his eyes, held the steel whip in his hand, and whispered:
"Is that monster again?"
Gu Yu shook his head and said:
"No, it looks like a quicksand pit."
"Ah? Here? Quicksand Pit?"
In doubt, Guyu no longer needs explanation, because their searchlights have seen the so-called danger of Guyu.
It was a large circular pit with a diameter of about three meters, filled with yellow sand.
But the yellow sand looks like boiling boiling water, squirming in the deep pit, occasionally spraying a piece high, like a fountain.
The mucus area has already walked out of here, and Guyu's hearing has returned to its original intensity.
He could hear a deep position below the sand pit.
"The sand below is not very deep, and the sand is filled with air. It seems that there is a constant wind blowing the sand below, keeping them squirming at the top. The sand below is pitch black, and I can't hear anything, maybe it's a hole, or something I can't hear."
As he spoke, Guyu took a few steps to the side and squatted down.
A few people followed him and used a searchlight to follow Guyu's gaze.
It was a long, shriveled thing, and it looked like a wind-dried snake tail.
Ling Dongsha used his own rolling pin to knock on the thing twice, and the "dongdong" sounded dull.
"It's a piece of wood."
It is easy to make such a judgment by just listening to the sound.
But Gu Yu shook his head and saw him raise his foot and step on the thinnest part of the tail of this piece of wood.
With a crisp "click", the wood broke with the feet.
Then he put on his gloves, picked up the piece of wood at the tail, and pointed the searchlight with the broken opening.
"hiss!"
The other three took a breath, their eyes full of confusion.
Lao Ta stuttered a little:
"Hammer, why do you have bones in the wood?"
Ling Dongzhi took the wood wrapped in the bones in Guyu's hand, and combined his bracelet several times to turn it into a scalpel.
He saw that his hands were very flexible and peeled off a lot of the outer skin of the wood, revealing several complete bones.
"It's very much like the joint structure of a python."
Ling Dongzhi made a judgment, then cut the bone with a knife twice, and continued:
“The bones are light, but they are extremely hard.”
Sister Lean asked in a low voice:
“How did this come about?”
Ling Dongshen pondered for a moment and said:
"Two possibilities, the first is that this wood is a carnivorous plant. There are more than 500 carnivorous plants known in the world. There is no record of the existence of this vine plant for the time being, but its existence cannot be denied.
The second possibility is that this is a new species, a organism that combines plants and animals, and has not been discovered by modern civilization. There are similar species in the existing biological world, such as Cordyceps sinensis, Tai Sui, etc., all have similar characteristics.
But, no matter which one, this creature may be more dangerous, it is only part of its tail. According to this part, the creature will not be smaller than that of humans."
Guyu asked in a low voice:
"Will this creature have anything to do with the mucus mutated humans in front of it?"
Ling Dongzhi shook her head confidently and said:
"It's completely different, it can be said that there is nothing to do with it. The creatures after mucus alienation in the front are pure animal forms, and this creature has half or even more than half of the plant forms."
Lao Ta waved his hand and whispered:
"Stop researching it, hurry up and withdraw, don't talk about it here, and then write about someone else's life."
Ling Dongzhi shook his head and said in a deep voice:
"It's useless, maybe we have to face it..."
