Chapter 879 Cutting down trees (4100)

"Suppression?"

Wu Liang frowned even more when he heard this.

This was a brand-new idea that he had never thought of, and judging from the actual situation in front of him, the Dragon Locking Pillar indeed seemed to be suppressing the large pure copper column below.

As for why this is so...

Combining the various previously discovered details and the shapes of these copper pillars, it can be inferred that it is a strange copper tree, and it may be a copper tree that is still alive until now.

Although it is still unclear what kind of tree this copper tree is and what special features it has that are not known to the public, it is not difficult to see that it suffered the same thing as the completely decayed tree that was discovered before. Some people will

Its trunk was cut off at the root, and a dragon-locking pillar comparable to a hill was erected on top of it.

Under this situation, even if the copper tree still maintains a certain vitality, it may be difficult to continue to grow... This can naturally be regarded as a kind of suppression, and it is suppression in the literal sense.

But Wu Liang felt that neither the copper tree nor the dragon-locking pillar was as simple as it seemed.

Not to mention what's special about the dragon-locking pillar, this copper tree alone has surpassed the category of normal trees. If it is indeed as energetic as Yu Ji analyzed, it can already be compared with the "sacred tree"

The two words are equated, just like the bronze tree that he had seen in the Western Regions that looked like a hibiscus tree.

"After Zhuge Liang said this, I also feel that the setting here is a bit overwhelming, but I don't know what the ancients set up this dragon-locking pillar to suppress. Could it be that the copper tree below is actually an ominous thing?"

Yu Ji's old face also wrinkled up, and he asked worriedly.

This is exactly what Wu Liang is thinking about.

If Suo Longzhu was suppressing something ominous, then they would not be able to act rashly. Otherwise, if something terrible were released, the situation for him and the Hu army would only become more difficult.

correct!

While thinking about this, Wu Liang suddenly thought of something. He turned back to look at the recovered Big Dog and said, "Big Dog, you came here to play when you were young. Have you ever seen this locking dragon in this place?"

column?"

This dragon-locking pillar is not small, and it was not flooded by the Yellow River back then. If the big dog had been here, it was very likely that he would have seen it... Of course, it was outside this secret realm.

"If I go back to Wu Taishi, I really don't remember that there is such a big stone pillar here."

The big dog replied quickly.

"That means there is no such dragon-locking pillar outside."

Wu Liang thought attentively, "Either the Dragon Locking Pillar has been buried tightly in the ground, without even its head being exposed... After all, when the river bed was still submerged by the Yellow River, the Dragon Locking Pillar was completely hidden under the water surface.

Without measuring, it can be concluded that the highest point of the Locking Dragon Pillar is a little lower than the three gate towers. Therefore, it is reasonable for it to be completely buried underground. Until later, this place became the mouth of the Yellow River.

The soil was gradually washed away by the Yellow River water, and it was finally exposed."

Speaking of which, the villagers of Sanmen Village sent people to explore this secret place many years ago. It seems that the rumors in the village never mentioned this dragon-locking pillar, which is more spectacular and taller than the three gate towers...

This way.

There is no way to judge whether the Locking Dragon Pillar only exists in this secret realm, or whether it exists in both the secret realm and the outside world.

In fact, when Wu Liang pursued this issue, he also tried to make a preliminary judgment on the copper tree under the Dragon Lock Pillar.

If the Dragon Locking Pillar only exists in this secret realm, then the Bronze Tree Transformation should also only exist in this secret realm. Otherwise, without the Dragon Locking Pillar to suppress it, it is very likely to emerge from the outside world again.

And if the Locking Dragon Pillar exists in the secret realm and the outside world at the same time, then this copper tree may also exist in the secret realm and the outside world at the same time.

It's a pity that now, he can't make an accurate judgment on even this issue...

"Divine Doctor Hua, you previously learned through your mind travel that this secret realm is actually supported by Yinglong's remaining essence, which means that Yinglong should be the master of this secret realm... and everything in this secret realm is naturally only

It knows best. Please recall carefully, did you ever hear anything related to this dragon-locking pillar and the copper tree when you were wandering in your mind, even very obscure words?"

At a loss, Wu Liang had no choice but to pin his hopes on Hua Tuo.

"this……"

Hua Tuo's expression already gave Wu Liang the answer. He probably knew nothing about it, but at Wu Liang's request, he still pondered.

After a while.

"I'm sorry Wu Taishi, I really can't remember anything related to this..."

Hua Tuo looked apologetic and shook his head helplessly. Halfway through, he suddenly remembered something and quickly added, "By the way, this matter has nothing to do with the Dragon Lock Pillar and the Bronze Tree, but I think it is necessary to discuss it with

Wu Taishi explained that as far as I know, Yinglong is not actually the master of this secret realm. It is just trapped here with some things that should not be left in the world. If it were not for the hard support of its remaining essence, those things and

I'm afraid it has already turned into nothingness along with this secret realm... That's all I know. As for what is trapped here with Yinglong, I can't tell clearly."

"Things that shouldn't be left in the world?"

Everyone couldn't help but become more confused after hearing this.

What kind of thing would it be like to be trapped in this secret realm with Yinglong and be something that shouldn't be left in the world?

If that thing refers to the copper tree suppressed by the Dragon Lock Pillar, you don't need to think about it to know that it must be something serious...

at the same time.

Wu Liang thought of another question.

This tung tree is different from ordinary trees. Ordinary trees will gradually decay after being cut down. After thousands of years, not even a trace can be seen. However, the whole body of this tung tree is made of stable pure copper, even if it loses its vitality.

It will gradually be oxidized later, but it will never disappear.

So where did the cut-off part of the copper tree go?

Could it be that those armors and weapons were made by people from the Jiuli Kingdom?

Is this the reason why the Jiuli Kingdom surpasses other tribes and is able to "use gold as a weapon" instead of "wet smelting of copper" as Wu Liang previously thought?

But if you think about it carefully, there are even more holes in this guess.

If this copper tree is the main source of copper used by Jiuli Kingdom, then neither the people of Jiuli Kingdom nor the Yellow Emperor who finally defeated Jiuli Kingdom would definitely treat this copper tree like this. On the contrary, they should

They will also protect it, so as long as this copper tree keeps growing, they can obtain inexhaustible pure copper, which is much more powerful than the copper smelting technology of later generations.

But the result was that not only was the copper tree severely damaged, but it was also suppressed by the Dragon Lock Pillar.

After the Yellow Emperor defeated Chi You and completed his unification, he probably did not obtain the "technology" of the Jiuli Kingdom. It was precisely because of this that the Celestial Dynasty did not gradually enter the Bronze Age until the Xia and Shang Dynasties thousands of years later...

or……

Could it be that this copper tree was destroyed by the Jiuli Kingdom after its defeat, and that the Dragon Locking Pillar was also erected by the Jiuli Kingdom themselves in order to keep the copper tree buried underground forever and not teach the Yellow Emperor to control the Jiuli Kingdom?

secret?

But how should Yinglong explain it?

It seems to be from the Yellow Emperor's side, so how could it be buried in the land of Jiuli Kingdom and trapped here together with "things that should not be left in the world"?

…

Headache!

Wu Liang rubbed his temples vigorously.

He had visited many ancient tombs and monuments before, but he had never encountered a situation like today.

At least those ancient tombs and monuments left some written information, and he could roughly figure out the relevant background before going deep. However, this secret place was always in the clouds, and even now he can't be sure about this place.

Whether it is the ruins of Jiuli Kingdom or not, everything can only be guessed.

The most important thing is that there is really not much time left for him.

Although everyone in the Hu army was trying their best to endure it, Wu Liang knew that under such intense physical labor, the impact of hunger had become more and more obvious, and many soldiers in the Hu army had begun to walk slowly.

Fluttering hair, this is a phenomenon that occurs when muscles begin to dissolve in a decomposed state. They are almost reaching their limit...

What still supports them now is their trust and admiration for Wu Liang.

If they weren't the Hu army, if they weren't Wu Liang's subordinates, other armies would have mutinied long ago, and even "cannibalism" would not be far away.

As for the three little wild boars and the big rooster, they have not been slaughtered yet.

Although everyone's eyes would glow green every time they saw them, Wu Liang still insisted on keeping them.

He hoped that everyone here could leave alive, so he had to keep them until someone couldn't hold on and fell into a coma, then he would kill the three little wild boars and the big rooster and make soup for the people who needed it most.

Life.

"Yang Wanli, leave this place to me. You can lead everyone to continue digging nearby to see if you can find other more valuable things."

Wu Liang knew that he couldn't waste any time at this moment, let alone let go of any clues, so he turned around and gave orders to Yang Wanli.

"promise!"

Yang Wanli responded and waved to the soldiers of the Hu army, "Brothers, follow me."

"promise."

All the people in the Hu army, carrying engineering shovels, replied feebly.

It's not that they have a negative attitude, it's just that their bodies are very weak. After all, it took them a day and a night to discover this copper tree. Under such a huge physical exertion, they had nothing to replenish except water. It was very difficult for them to still have the strength to agree at this moment.

It's easier.

"well……"
