Cao Cao called me to rob a tomb

Chapter 406 Jump! ! ! (4000)

"Fusang tree?"

Hearing what Yu Ji said, Wu Liang instantly connected the two together.

As one of the most famous sacred trees in the ancient Chinese mythology, the hibiscus tree naturally has a considerable understanding.

There is a record in "Ten Continents in the Sea": "Fusang is on the east coast of the East China Sea, and it has landed for [-] miles. There is a blue sea in the east, which is wide and narrow, and the East China Sea. Fusang is in the blue sea, with many trees and leaves. They are all like mulberry trees, thousands of feet tall, and more than two thousand girth in size. The trees grow in pairs from the same root, and they depend on each other, so they are called Fusang."

This clearly describes the appearance characteristics of the hibiscus tree.

However, the geographical location in the records is far from the current location of the Tuan army, not only tens of thousands of miles away?

The location and environment are also very different. "Ten Continents in the Sea" states that the hibiscus tree is in the blue sea to the east of the East China Sea. As far as Wu Liang knows, there is only one island country in the blue sea to the east of the East China Sea. How to please the people of the Celestial Dynasty from ancient times to the present, the Wa country.

In fact, there is indeed such a place in Japan that is somewhat related to the "Fusang tree"-Mount Fuji.

It is reported that the origin of the name of Mount Fuji is also very interesting. In fact, it was originally called "Fusang tree".

During the 5000-year history of the Celestial Dynasty, except for a very few moments of humiliation, most of the time it was a well-deserved center of the world, and the Wa Kingdom also began to pay tribute to the Celestial Dynasty very early, and sent envoys to learn from the Celestial Dynasty. cultural essence.

This naturally also includes myths and legends about the "Fusang tree".

It's just like the various dialects formed in various parts of the Celestial Dynasty. After the Japanese envoys brought back the myth and legend of "Fusang tree", the pronunciation naturally changed in some reasonable ways, so "Fusang tree" was called "Fusang tree" and has been used to later generations. "Mount Fuji".As for whether "Mount Fuji" is the "Fusang tree" in myths and legends, it still needs to be studied.

Wu Liang didn't think so.

Because the Japanese country was radiated by the Chinese culture, the myth and legend of the "Fusang tree" must have appeared before "Mount Fuji".

Wu Liang speculated that the situation may be as follows: "Mount Fuji", as the highest mountain in the Japanese country, should have a name, but when the envoys of the Japanese country brought back the myth and legend about the "Fusang tree", the people of the Japanese country felt a little bit worried. Taken together, it turns out that they are just above the blue sea to the east of the East China Sea, and within a radius of ten thousand miles, no other island country can be found, let alone anything higher than "Mount Fuji"...

Then slap your forehead!
Young birthday!That must be it!
The "Fusang tree" in the myths and legends of the Kingdom of Heaven must be the highest mountain in our place. As for why the "Fusang tree" is a sporadic tree with the same root, but their "Mt. A volcano spewing lava...it doesn't matter!
In short, I have found the feeling of "hibiscus tree" in spirit.

Wahahaha, it turns out that our country of Wa has already appeared in the myths and legends of the Kingdom of Heaven. Our country of Wa is really outstanding, so let's change our name without hesitation!

This is not a mountain, this is a tree, a sacred tree that connects the three worlds of human, god and underworld that even the kingdoms of heaven have to look up to!
And we Japanese are the chosen people who were "born in the East China Sea and grew up under the sacred tree"!
I’m so hungry, it’s another day when I didn’t catch any fish... let’s hurry up and send another group of envoys to the Heavenly Dynasty to pay tribute. Salted fish that don't grow much when they are full, in exchange for some rare grains, seeds, and priceless utensils and accessories, Kemojisi.

For a living, not shabby.

In the name of the people of Fusang Sacred Tree.

that's all!

However, the fact that the "Fusang tree" is located in the blue sea to the east of the East China Sea is only one theory in myths and legends, and another theory is that it is located in "Tanggu to the east of the desert".

Tanggu is a lake.

According to this statement, the position of the Tuan army is in line with it again.

This place is just east of the desert, and before the mountains rose, this place was also a large inland lake, so...

"Shan Hai Jing Overseas East Classic" has a cloud: "There is a hibiscus on Tanggu, which is bathed for ten days and lives in the water. Nine days it lives in the lower branch, and one day it lives in the upper branch."

"Shan Hai Jing Da Huang Dong Jing" also said: "There are buttresses on the Tang Valley, which arrive in a day and come out in a day, and they are all recorded in Wu."

It is said that there are ten suns on the "Fusang tree", and these suns are carried by the "Golden Crow" to fly in the sky, day after day, every ten days.

And the follow-up associated with this myth and legend is the story of "Hou Yi shooting the sun" that is widely known to later generations.

One day, the ten suns on the hibiscus tree flew into the sky together. The strong sunlight and high temperature made the ground dry and thirsty, resulting in a severe drought in the world, and the people were in dire straits.Hou Yi cared about the people's livelihood in the world, so he took the magic bow and shot the sun with a white arrow. He shot down nine suns with one buckle, and shot to death the golden crow that supported the sun, leaving only one sun. After that, the earth finally recovered. life.

and so.

If, as Yu Ji said, the giant black bird on the branch is the "Golden Crow", there should be another feature that distinguishes it from ordinary birds.

Thinking of this, Wu Liang carefully observed the giant black bird.

As expected, there were three legs under the bird's body!

It's just that when Wu Liang and others look at it from the current position, the two feet will be slightly misaligned and overlapped, and it's easy to ignore if you don't look carefully.

Another name for "Golden Crow" is "Three-legged Crow", which is a legendary bird with three legs!

and so……

Wu Liang was horrified, could this really be the legendary "Fusang tree"?
But the problem is that the "fusang tree" described in most of the ancient books that Wu Liang knows is a huge mulberry tree that connects the sky and the earth and connects the three springs. Detailed description, but some say that the hibiscus tree has only a trunk and no branches and leaves.

Although the details about "Fusang tree" described in those ancient books are more or less different, there is one thing that is very unified, that is, the essence of "Fusang tree" is "wood".

It is not the bronze that Wu Liang and others see now.

But speaking of bronze trees, later archaeological experts also discovered three bronze-cast trees in Sanxingdui. The archaeological circles called these three bronze trees "bronze sacred trees".

It's just that the three "bronze sacred trees" in Sanxingdui are very small, and the tallest one is only about four meters.

And the three "bronze sacred trees" have different postures. Some are cast with leaves, fruits and flower buds, some are cast with a dragon winding around the trunk, and some are also cast with a bird with its head and tail raised.

But that little bird was just an ordinary bird, not the "three-legged crow" that Wu Liang saw now.

Besides.

The three "Sacred Bronze Trees" were all corroded and damaged to a certain extent without exception, and the bronze on them all turned into a decayed blue-gray without exception. There was even a tree that had not been repaired until Wu Liang crossed over. ...

Archaeologists of later generations made some guesses about their prototypes based on the shapes of these three "bronze sacred trees" and comparing them with the ancient books of the Celestial Dynasty.

Just because of some differences in details, these guesses are not unified:

Some people think that the prototype of the "bronze sacred tree" should be the legendary "Fusang tree"; some people think that the prototype should be the legendary "Jianmu";

Some people even speculate that this may be the "cosmic tree" that the ancient Shu people believed in, reflecting the world view of the ancient Shu people.

Wu Liang once suspected that the person who guessed the prototype of the "Bronze Sacred Tree" as the "Cosmic Tree" was actually a fan of a certain classic online game, so he borrowed the setting of the "World Tree" in that game, with a serious face. The impersonating experts are talking nonsense.

But it is undeniable.

The discoveries of Sanxingdui and Wu Liang in this mountain tomb have many similarities, such as the masks suspected to be "Goki people" and the huge bronze tree in front of them...

It's just that the things found in Sanxingdui are smaller than the things in this place by more than one size.

To borrow the words of Two-dimensional lovers, Wu Liang feels that the things in Sanxingdui really look a bit like miniature figures of this place...

"Brother Dianwei, pull me."

Thinking of this, Wu Liang has already taken off the "Flying Tiger Claw" on his arm, tied one end of the "silkworm silk" inside to a mountaineering knot on himself, and then handed the other end to Dian Wei's hand .

"Sir, you are..."

Dian Wei asked suspiciously.

"I'm going to go up to this stone bridge and check it out."

Wu Liang said lightly.

This time Dian Wei did not volunteer, because he already knew himself when he was in Gongshuzhong, and no one in the Tuan army could pull him away.

Although the others moved their lips, they didn't say anything in the end.

Because they knew that they didn't have Wu Liang's insight, even if they volunteered to investigate, they probably wouldn't be able to pay attention to what really needed attention.

"Be careful."

Only Bai Jingjing gave an order in a soft voice.

"I vaguely remember that you haven't fulfilled the promise you made at Gongshuzhong last time. Do you want to make me some more interesting promises this time?"

Wu Liang turned around and smiled coquettishly.

"What do you want me to promise?"

Bai Jingjing's pretty face blushed quietly, but after following Wu Liang for a long time, her cheeks also improved, and she was able to catch Wu Liang's words.

"I want you to promise me that after you go back this time, as long as I don't look for you, you will never enter my room without authorization, especially at night... Jingjing, promise me?"

When he said this, Wu Liang even took a pleading tone, because his old waist began to sore uncontrollably again, and the past was unbearable.

"..."

Everyone was speechless.

"you!"

Seeing that Wu Liang revealed such a private matter in public, Bai Jingjing stamped her foot in shame, then gave him a fierce look, gritted her teeth and said, "Okay, I promise you, if you fall to your death here today , I will never look for you again, have you fulfilled your wish?"

"Fuck, you're cruel..."

Wu Liang found out that Bai Jingjing's learning was getting worse and worse, and now it was extremely difficult to get cheap from her, so he had to give up resentfully, then took a deep breath, and walked towards the center of the stone bridge under the gaze of everyone.

……

Wu Liang is convinced that he has no fear of heights.

In his previous life, he had done bungee jumping twice. Although his scalp felt numb before jumping, he felt very exciting after jumping, and even had an aftertaste.

Walk alone on this stone bridge with no guardrails and no support.

His heart was beating non-stop, and it felt like his heart rate should have exceeded [-].

Especially when he looked down the bridge.

"Jump-jump-jump!"

An extremely dangerous idea will appear in his mind, as if something is constantly inciting him, trying to dominate his thoughts.

This made Wu Liang feel uneasy.

I had no choice but to take out the "Returning Soul Incense" I carried with me and apply it on the place in the middle of the person, hoping to maintain my sanity.

This approach seems to be useful, but the effect is extremely limited, because the idea has not completely disappeared, it has only been slightly weakened.

under these circumstances.

Wu Liang still persisted and walked to a third of the stone bridge.

At this moment, he finally managed to appreciate a partial panorama of the huge bronze pillar suspected of being a "hibiscus tree".

Taking him as a reference point, the two bronze pillars intertwined like twists and turns extend upwards. Unfortunately, because he is currently located in the middle and lower part of the mountain, and the range of light from the Suihou Pearl is limited, he is still Exactly how tall the bronze columns are cannot be determined.

And below him.

The two bronze pillars seem to be about [-] meters high, and they have reached the bottom below, and the rocky ground at the bottom can be seen.

At the end of these two bronze pillars is a thicker bronze pillar that is divided into three forks.

These three bronze pillars are obliquely inserted into the rocks on the ground, which looks like the tripod support of the "hibiscus tree", and also like the roots of the "hibiscus tree", because their surface is obviously rougher than the "trunk" above There are many, and there are many huge protrusions on it, and there are many small forks where they connect to the ground, which are very opposite to common tree roots.

And right below this "tripod support frame".

Wu Liang saw a huge black hole.

The black hole didn't know how deep it was, nor where it led, but it made Wu Liang's heart palpitate.

Because when he looked at the black hole, he felt an unprecedented suction force, as if he was going to be sucked into it.

But this suction is not actually suction in the physical sense.

Wu Liang's body didn't feel any external force, but he had a feeling of being unable to extricate himself mentally, as if this black hole was his final destination.

Suddenly!
"Jump-jump-jump!!!"

This idea suddenly became stronger, Wu Liang's consciousness was still awake, but his body was slowly leaning forward uncontrollably!
