Chapter 197 Troll Tree (4600)(2/2)
Only then did the three of them finally realize what Dian Wei had just said.
Then.
"Kukukuku..."
Wu Liang couldn't control his laughter in an instant.
"puff!"
Bai Jingjing couldn't hold it back and accidentally burst out laughing.
"well……"
Only Yu Ji had an embarrassed look on his face. Now the entire Hu army knew that he was an old boy, but not many people dared to tease him in person, not to mention that there were also many boys in the Hu army.
However, after being embarrassed for a few seconds, he saw that Wu Liang and Bai Jingjing were still smiling "kukuku" and looked like they were enduring pain, so he explained it to himself: "Those who seek the Tao guard themselves like jade.
How can you call him a boy? I call it sincerity. If you have the Dao, your heart will be sincere and you will be spiritual. How can you seek the fruit of the Dao if you are not sincere?"
"Ha ha ha ha……"
It's okay that Yu Ji didn't explain. Wu Liang and Bai Jingjing couldn't help laughing at such a sour explanation.
What's even more outrageous is that Wu Liang actually walked up to Dian Wei, who had a calm expression on his face, patted his shoulder and encouraged him: "Brother Dian Wei, once you can speak, talk more, or else just publish a biography.
If you are illiterate, I will teach you. If you don’t have enough money, I will help you.”
Seeing what Wu Liang said, Yu Ji's old face couldn't stand it any more. It could even be seen that it was slightly red. Just like this, he still tried to get back the ground from Dian Wei, so he rubbed his neck and said again: "Dian Wei, you are laughing at me.
It’s an old boy, aren’t you?”
"Nian Shao Wei worked for a wealthy family. Seeing that Wei was strong and strong, the wife of that family secretly took Wei into the room while the owner was out..."
Dian Wei nodded solemnly, then stretched out three fingers, stabbed Yu Ji hard, and said, "Three times, four hours."
"..."
After hearing this, Yu Ji was immediately discouraged. He opened his mouth slightly but could not say a word.
…
Under this.
The originally scary atmosphere has indeed eased a lot.
Amidst the laughter and laughter, the group of four people had already followed Yang Wanli and the soldier for a long time in the underground secret passage. However, Wu Liang did not forget about business. Every time he passed an intersection, he marked it on the wall to prevent it for a while.
I got lost on the way out.
However.
When Yang Wanli and the soldier stopped in a wider area, Wu Liang and others could no longer laugh.
They came to a big tree.
To be precise, it should be under a big tree.
Most of the branches and crown of this big tree have passed through the top of the underground secret passage and extended outside the secret passage.
Standing in the secret passage, you can only see the thick tree trunks two to three meters high below, as well as the intricate tree roots of different thicknesses that have long emerged from the ground.
And between these tree roots, there is...
Densely packed human corpses?!
The older corpses have been completely turned into dead bones, and even the skulls have fallen to the ground or among tree roots.
The newer corpses are also wrapped in a layer of shriveled skin, which is dark brown in color. There are even clothes that are not completely rotten wrapped outside the skin. There are men and women, old and new.
The roots of this big tree were wrapped around the bodies of these human corpses, and gave birth to many fine hairs similar to ivy's feet or morning glory's tentacles, which either tightly adhered to these corpses, or
Wrapped around these corpses, they look like the "hander monsters" in later generations' ideology...
"careful?!"
Wu Liang and others immediately stopped and did not dare to approach these tree roots easily.
Everyone is afraid that these tree roots will suddenly come to life, and then bind them like real "hand monsters", and then end up like those mummies.
However, Yang Wanli and the soldier had already stepped on the roots and arrived at the big tree.
Those tree roots did not react in any way and looked like some very ordinary tree roots.
Then.
Yang Wanli and the soldier did not make any drastic move. They just quietly leaned on the thick roots under the trunk and lay down on their backs, and slowly closed their eyes, as if they were just falling asleep.
Everything seemed so harmonious, a beautiful picture of man and nature coexisting in peace...if there were not those roughly estimated to be at least hundreds of human corpses.
"This... this demon tree couldn't be 'Yun Yang', right?!"
Yu Ji curled his neck and hid in the back, guessing with a wrinkled old face.
"Yun Yang?"
Wu Liang's expression changed slightly.
The ancient book "Baopuzi" records this unusual and strange tree: "There is a big tree in the mountain, and there are people who can speak. It is not a tree that can speak. Its refined name is Yunyang, and calling it is good luck."
This means: There is a big talking tree in the mountains. In fact, it is not that the big tree can really talk, but because there is a fairy named "Yunyang" hidden inside. As long as you can accurately call "Yunyang" Name, everything will be fine, otherwise...
The records did not mention what would happen if the tree could not be named, so Wu Liang naturally had no way of knowing.
Moreover, "Baopuzi" is a Taoist classic compiled by Ge Hong in the Eastern Jin Dynasty, which was written after the Sima family usurped the Wei Dynasty...
Wu Liang knew it because he had watched "Baopuzi".
In this era, Yu Ji obviously did not have the opportunity to see the "Baopuzi" of later generations, but he could still tell about this kind of strange tree "Yun Yang". Doesn't this mean that this kind of strange tree has been recorded for a long time, but only in later generations? No relevant ancient books found?
But this still does not prove that the big tree in front of me is "Yun Yang".
Although the monster was indeed weird and scary, it did not speak.
Of course, Wu Liang didn't really believe that a tree could really talk. As for the goblin... After seeing the "Jian" in the tomb of King Liang Xiao, Wu Liang naturally did not dare to completely deny the existence of such a thing.
but.
This strange tree doesn't seem to be as vicious as imagined.
Because Yang Wanli and the soldier were already lying as peacefully as a plate of vegetables, but there was no movement at the roots of the tree, and everything around them was still so harmonious and peaceful.
Looking at the corpses that had been turned into mummies, I couldn't find any trace of torture...
"Yunyang! Yunyang! I know it's you who is causing trouble, Yunyang?"
With such a guess, Yu Ji emboldened himself and started calling directly.
"..."
