Phoenix Destiny Chapter 555: Big Black Tree
When we arrived in Misty, Lu Mingshu didn't do anything, and was accompanied by this local girl every day to play around.
This girl has a very strange last name, Xiao. Common people don't care about the name, her brother is called Xiaoda, and she is called Xiaoxiao. Xiao Xiao sounded like Xiao Xiao, and everyone called her Xiao Xiao.
"Girl, what are you doing?" After spending seven or eight days with Lu Mingshu, I was very curious.
The girl came to Misty and said she was playing, but she was different from those playing. Look around one place a day, and then sit down and paint.
Like now, she looked at the terrain, took out a pen and paper, and sat under the tree to draw.
Lu Mingshu replied: "Draw a map."
"Draw a map?" Xiao Xiaoqi said, "But aren't maps for sale?"
There are local small families who sell maps, and I have seen them. And those maps are not the same as those drawn by this girl.
"Their map is too crude and useless." Lu Mingshu said like this, his men kept on.
The fog is not big, but the key is that there is fog all the year round and it is difficult to see the terrain. What she wants is the kind of fine model that can be fully simulated, but not a simple map with a line representing the road and a circle representing the lake.
Gao Xiang is missing here, there must be something unusual. An Tongchen can't squat, but she can look for clues in the details.
Finally, she finished drawing the map, and took out all the paintings a few days ago and spread them out on the grass one by one.
"Wow!" I didn't feel it a few days ago. When several maps were spread out together, the little boy discovered how detailed this map is.
The markets, lakes, hills, and trees are all clear, and even the larger stones are marked.
She said sincerely: "The girl is so amazing."
Lu Mingshu drew this picture, not to make her exaggerate. It is too difficult to construct a real world in her mind, but if there is a map as an introduction, it is not the same, she only needs to remember the key.
Lu Mingshu looked at the pictures one by one, recalling the misty terrain as he looked at it, and finally stopped at the top.
"Little."
"In."
"Haven’t we been here?"
Xiao Xiao looked at where she was pointing, and said: "Is the girl talking about the **** tree?"
"Big Black Tree?"
Little nodded: "Yeah. There are **** trees growing here, and there are dead places all around. There is nothing to look at."
Lu Mingshu narrowed his eyes: "Tell me, what does this **** tree look like? There are dead places all around, and what do you mean?"
"Oh." Xiaoxiao said, "The Big Black Tree is a very big tree. It has been there for many years. It is a dead tree. Our misty people died. To be buried in a dead tree."
"Cemetery?"
"Well, the **** tree is our cemetery. The old people said that because it is a dead place, there is nothing long around it, and even the grass can't live."
Lu Mingshu quickly put away the map on the ground: "Go, let's go and see."
Little hesitation: "Go there? Nothing to look at!"
"Go and see before you talk."
"Oh."
Taking money to do business, Xiao Xiao dutifully led her to the **** tree.
This **** tree grows just above the mist, in a place surrounded by lakes, far away from the crowd.
The two people walked more and more desolate, and Xiao Xiao was a little scared: "Girl, there is really nothing good to see there, shall we go back?"
Lu Mingshu shook his head: "You can go back first."
Xiao Xiao hesitated for a moment, and stood up: "No, I took the money."
Not far, Lu Mingshu saw the **** tree. As its name suggests, the tree is black all over, standing there quietly, like a quiet shadow.
This tree is very tall, thirty feet tall, with many branches and branches. However, it looks dead, without leaves, and without any anger.
Little pointed to a small hole at the bottom: "That's where we were buried..." She followed the funeral procession once.
Lu Mingshu walked around the **** tree, looking at it carefully.
Xiao Xiao couldn't help it, and said: "Girl, you have to be careful, sometimes there will be ghosts coming out."
"Ghost?"
"Well. I heard people say that the **** tree sometimes shows people..."
Lu Mingshu nodded: "Let's go back."
Seeing her listening, Xiao Xiao breathed a sigh of relief.
At night, Lu Mingshu carefully painted a picture under the oil lamp of the inn.
If Xiaoxiao were here, she would find that she painted the **** tree that she had seen during the day. Every branch is clear and delicate.
An Tongchen has lived here for half a year. With his attention to Gao Xiang, he must have rummaged through the suspicious places around the mist. He must have seen this **** tree.
However, in what he said to Lu Mingshu, he didn't mention the **** tree at all, so no abnormality was found.
After finishing the painting, Lu Mingshu meditated on the **** tree on the picture.
Is it really okay, or An Tongchen didn’t find out?
Actually, she has no definite evidence~IndoMTL.com~ It just feels that the **** tree is a bit weird.
Tree burial is not unusual. It is said that there are tribes popular in tree burial among the barbarians, but why is that tree like that? The feeling of being there is just like Yinshan...
The next day, Lu Mingshu didn't take Xiaoxiao and went to Daheishu by himself.
The truth is, I will find out after probing.
She took out a night pearl and went in through the hole where the tree was buried.
A chill came, dark and gloomy.
There are many branches in this tree, and each branch is a family cemetery.
The people who were buried were wrapped in white cloth, exuding a sap peculiar to Nanze, which is said to be antiseptic.
However, no matter how embalmed it is, these corpses will still rot. Going deeper, they will rot as much as bones.
After spending a few days, Lu Mingshu searched the **** tree up and down, and nothing happened. This is an ordinary dead tree used as a tomb.
But she still feels wrong.
After sitting outside the **** tree for two days, she suddenly understood.
Even if the **** tree is just an ordinary dead tree, what's going on around the dead place? Human bones are just a good fertilizer. Those graveyards, if no one cleans them up, can be covered with weeds in one year. Why is the **** tree just the opposite?
Not only is it a dead tree itself, it has even become a dead place around it. Could it be...
She thought of Yinshan. The Yinshan Mountains are also full of bones, causing only a few weeds to grow around. Seeking the sun because too many people died in Yinshan, and these bones brought Yin Qi, which directly made normal species unable to survive. Or, just adapt to the environment, just like those monsters in Yinshan. Or, you can't live.
What about the **** tree? It is more direct than Yinshan, and it doesn't even have living creatures to adapt.
Is this also a place to gather Yin?
