This is still a secret to us for the time being. What makes us even more unexpected is why Lao Lu suddenly left. Is it to avoid us or for other reasons. However, as soon as they left, we felt relieved, otherwise we would Twenty-four hours a day, one must be nervous to guard against their various sneak attacks and plots.

During our discussion, Madman Six kept his head down and remained silent, as if he was deep in thought.

The sky outside has gradually become brighter, and another night has passed. This night is so unusual for us. It seems that what we have experienced is not one night, but several days. The strange and changeable, twists and turns are really disappointing. It's unimaginable.

This is the second time that I have been overwhelmed by "Ninja Incense". After personal experience, we all have a deep feeling of the power and magic of this "Ninja Incense". If this thing is used to make sleeping pills or the like , It’s really meaningful. Although we only slept for two or three hours after being smoked to sleep, we didn’t feel sleepy at all. The hypnotic effect was really great.

At this time, Crazy Six suddenly said leisurely: "At dawn, let's go to that canyon to have a look." We knew that the canyon he was talking about was the place where we were overwhelmed by the "ninja fragrance".

Although we still don't know exactly why Crazy Six is ​​going suddenly, but since he is doing this, there must be a reason for him. Seeing that he is still thinking, we don't dare to ask more questions for fear of interrupting his train of thought, so we As he said, we left the hotel together and walked toward the canyon.

The two female assistants should still be sleeping. They stayed up until early in the morning last night, waiting for us, so we will not ask them to participate in this operation.

In the small square of the hotel, there are already tourists in twos and threes, either walking or doing morning exercises.

Ordinarily, the sun should be out at this time, but because it is cloudy, it looks darker than usual. However, anyone who lives in the mountains knows that if it is cloudy, there will be less dew, so it is different from the last time I came here. Compared to when we were there, we felt much drier.

The mountain road leading to this canyon feels much easier than walking at night. However, compared with other places, this canyon is too remote. The distance is not long, but there are many turns. Fortunately, Crazy Liu and Xiao Lei, They both have great memories of routes, and under their guidance, we successfully reached the edge of the canyon.

At first glance, this canyon is nothing special, but upon closer inspection, it seems to have its own mystery. For example, this canyon is different from other canyons. It is round in shape, with a radius of about several miles. This is different from what we encountered last night. The abyss is a bit like, although the circular shape of this canyon is not so regular.

The stone walls of the canyon are straight up and down at 90 degrees. They are standard cliffs. Moreover, the canyon below is filled with smoke and is bottomless. This reminds me of the cliff where the amphibian man haunts. Both of them are bottomless. The bottom is mysterious and unpredictable, but the difference is that the cliff formed by this canyon is not a straight line, but approximately circular.

I'm a little afraid of heights, and it's better at night, but during the day, I don't dare to stand on the edge of the cliff and look directly down. Crazy Six is ​​very brave. He is almost a third of the height. The soles of his feet were hanging in the air on the edge of the canyon, and he leaned forward to look down the canyon. This made us tremble with fear. We repeatedly reminded him to pay attention to safety and stay as far away from the cliff as possible. He promised, but did not step back at all.

Even Old Man Ouyang, an old hunter who has been hunting in the mountains all his life, did not dare to stand on the edge of the cliff like this. It was too dangerous. However, the few of us stood one or two meters away from the edge and poked our heads towards the cliff. Look down.

Suddenly, the six madman statues were talking to themselves, and as if to us, they muttered: "There must be something fishy about this canyon." After saying this, he took a few steps back and sat on a stone. His brows were furrowed.

When we saw him retreating from the edge of the cliff, we all breathed a sigh of relief and quickly gathered around him. Only then did Crazy Six take a long breath and said, "Have you noticed that the trees on the cliff walls of this canyon are as close as the abyss?" The trees on top are exactly the same,"

We were all stunned when we heard what Crazy Six said: No one noticed this, including Xiao Lei and Old Man Ouyang. Generally speaking, small trees growing on cliffs are very common and can be found everywhere in the mountains.

Crazy Six continued: "You may not have noticed that this small pine tree on the cliff is actually very unusual. This kind of pine tree is called 'cliff climbing pine'. It is only one or two meters high at most, but its vitality But they are very tenacious. They can grow in cracks in rocks and even penetrate directly into rocks. The roots of this tree are very different from ordinary tree roots. There is a special substance in these roots that can break stones. Calcium carbonate, and some salts, are converted into water and other nutrients needed for tree growth. What's even more incredible is that the roots of this tree are very long. How long can it be?

Western scientists have studied that the roots of this kind of tree can penetrate into stone walls and mountains up to a thousand meters, just like plants in the desert. Although the plants above are not big, there are extremely huge root systems below. This can ensure that plants can survive in the most barren places.

Do you still remember, last night when Xiao Ming was the first one to swing down from the entrance of the cave, Xiao Lei repeatedly reminded Xiao Ming to be as gentle as possible and not to use too much force, lest the little pine tree could not hold back. In fact, no matter how hard you use force, it will be fine. , because the huge root system of this pine tree makes it very strong. Not to mention one person, even ten people, this pine tree can withstand it and will never fall off the cliff."

"Oh, this kind of pine tree is so amazing," the female translator next to me couldn't help but marvel, and took out her notebook and started recording.

The old man Ouyang next to him was also shocked after hearing what Crazy Six said: "'Cliff-climbing pine'. When I was young, I seemed to have heard older people talking about this kind of pine tree. It is said that after Qin destroyed the six kingdoms, Qin Shi Huang's personal bodyguard, They all wear armor woven from pine branches. This kind of armor is not afraid of being hacked by knives, axes, or bows and arrows. It is extremely tough. What’s even more amazing is that it is not afraid of fire. It is said that ordinary pine trees are easier to burn because of their rosin. It burns, and is relatively 'fire-resistant', but the wood of this kind of pine tree seems to have fire-proof substances. If you throw it in the fire and burn it for a whole day, except for being blackened, it will not be injured at all. Do you think it is strange or not, so , this kind of armor made of pine branches is better than the 'rattan armor' in "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms", because although that kind of 'rattan armor' is also very tough, it is most afraid of fire. When it encounters a fire attack, it will That's it. It is said that Prime Minister Zhuge even sent people to our area to look for this kind of pine tree. Unfortunately, since the Qin Dynasty, all the detailed records about this kind of pine tree have been destroyed, and the detailed records about this kind of pine tree have been destroyed. The situation has also been lost. No one knows the specific characteristics of this kind of pine tree, and no one knows where they grow. But what I didn’t expect is that your brother actually knows, it’s incredible,”

Crazy Six smiled slightly and said: "I have not only studied the meridians of people, but also the meridians of plants. A few decades ago, I went into the mountains to collect medicine and happened to encounter a red-haired tit. The constitution of the hairy tit is extremely positive, so the eggs it lays can be used as medicine, and the medicinal effect is very good. So, I slowly followed it, trying to find its nest and get a few of its eggs, because it was a deep mountain and inaccessible. , so the tit's nest was not high. After the tit left, I climbed up and took out two eggs from its nest. But just when I was about to go down, I suddenly I found that the nest seemed very unusual. The nest was newly built with fresh branches. Generally speaking, the nests of this kind of chickadee are made of a very soft grass. Moreover, this kind of chickadee is very good at making nests. , its nest is made very carefully, but it uses fresh branches to build its nest, which I have never seen before.

Out of curiosity, I took down the whole nest. When I looked closely, I was surprised, because judging from the shape of the branches and leaves, they should be pine tree branches, but how could pine tree branches be so flexible? Woolen cloth.

Those branches had just come down from the tree not long ago, so the meridians on the branches are still very strong. Don't think that only animals have meridians. In fact, plants also have them, and the characteristics of these meridians surprised me, because these meridians , it is really different from the meridians of ordinary pine trees. The characteristics of these meridians mean that the branches of this pine tree are extremely tough and extremely elastic.

At that time, I suddenly thought of the legendary "Cliff Climbing Pine". Could this be the lost "Cliff Climbing Pine"?

But if it is really a 'cliff-climbing pine', it should be extremely difficult to break. So how does this kind of bird break such branches? Until now, this is still a mystery to me.

I guess it is this kind of bird that can secrete a special kind of mucus, and this kind of mucus can make the unusually tough branches soft and brittle, because I can vaguely see white ones at the ends of the branches. Liquid, and this white liquid does not flow from inside the branches.

In the next few days, I tracked this tit and found that it still found branches of the 'Cliff Climbing Pine' to build its nest. Moreover, through tracking, I also discovered the 'Cliff Climbing Pine', which was on the cliff. , a solitary dwarf pine tree, inconspicuous. It was the first time I saw this legendary "cliff-climbing pine". It was through that time that I learned where this pine tree grows, and It looked roughly like that, but apart from that one, I never saw any other 'cliff-climbing pine'. Later, I checked a lot of information and found out that in addition to our area, there are also similar pine trees in some mountains in the Americas. .

I was very shocked when I saw so many "cliff-climbing pines" in the abyss last night, but our situation was too dangerous at that time and we didn't bother talking about these pines.

But the shape of the abyss suddenly made me think of this canyon, because their shapes are very similar. This morning, when you were discussing, I suddenly thought that since the shape of the abyss is similar to that of the canyon, then the cliff walls of this canyon , is there such a kind of "cliff-climbing pine"? If so, then many of the strange things we have encountered in the past few days may be related to these pine trees.

Also, Mr. Ouyang, when you passed the cave and drifted under the cliff, did you pay attention to the well-shaped canyons? Are there also such 'cliff-climbing pines' on the rock walls around those canyons?"

When Crazy Six asked, Old Man Ouyang raised his face and said simply: "Probably not. The surrounding cliffs are very smooth and there is no way to climb them."

After hearing Old Man Ouyang's answer, Crazy Six lowered his head and thought for a while and said: "Well, the well-shaped canyon you entered is not where amphibians live, but the canyon where amphibians live is right next door to you. Do you remember that this was the time when amphibians lived? 'Monkey Eagle' told you, if I guessed correctly, there must be this kind of 'cliff-climbing pine' on the cliff of the well-shaped canyon next door,"

After listening to what Crazy Six said, we all became more and more confused. Crazy Six said that some of the strange things we have encountered in the past few days are related to these pine trees. How can those things be related to these pine trees?

"What time is it now," Crazy Six suddenly asked.

"It's seven fifty," Sister Li replied, looking at the watch on her wrist.

Crazy Six nodded, and said something that made us even more shocked and confused: "In about ten minutes, there will be a strong wind in this canyon. This kind of wind blows from the middle of the canyon to all directions. ,"
