When we were discussing this, I noticed that the female translator was silent and looking at the big tree not far away, as if she had something on her mind. When she was deep in thought, her pretty face became even more beautiful.

There is an intellectual beauty.

I really wanted to ask her what she was thinking, but because everyone was here and the relationship between us was too delicate, I chose to remain silent in front of everyone.

Suddenly, the female translator seemed to notice that I was looking at her. When she turned to look at me, I quickly turned my head and pretended to look away. At this time, I heard the female translator say: "I suddenly thought of something, which made me

It’s a bit puzzling.”

Hearing what the female translator said, everyone was suddenly stunned and turned to look at her. The female translator brushed the hair behind her ears and then said: "Everyone knows that Tian Liwen lives in the same room as me. When I went to bed last night,

, Tian Liwen suddenly said something incomprehensible - she sighed and said, if she hadn't climbed up that big tree, she and Professor Shan might not be in the situation they are in now. After hearing this, I ate

Surprised, I quickly asked her what she meant. She seemed to feel that she had made a mistake, so she quickly said it was okay and immediately changed the subject. Judging from this behavior, it seemed that she was hiding something from us and did not want us to know, and this

The thing seems to be related to that big tree."

We were all surprised when we heard what the female translator said. We didn't expect such a thing to exist. If we think about it carefully, there is indeed a lot to be said about it.

Everyone looked at the big tree again. It was the tree where human skins were hung before. Is there any secret hidden in that tree that we don't know about?

That big tree is a kind of poplar tree in our mountain, but it is much taller than ordinary poplar trees. It is twenty meters high from the ground to the treetop, and the trunk is also very thick. It takes two people to hold hands.

Only then can I embrace you.

Just by the thickness of the trunk, you can know that this poplar tree is at least several hundred years old, because ordinary poplar trees will never grow so thick. Maybe the tree is too old, so the branches and leaves of this tree look very thick.

It is sparse. It has just arrived in early autumn, and the leaves of most trees have not fallen yet, but the leaves of this tree have basically withered.

After watching for a while, Xiao Lei suddenly said: "How about I go up and have a look."

Cousin, Crazy Six, and Old Yuan didn't answer immediately. Only Sister Li next to her muttered: "It would be great if Old Man Ouyang was here. You can go up and have a look at his 'Monkey Eagle'

,The tree is so tall and thick, how can anyone climb up it?"

This time, Old Man Ouyang and the "Monkey Eagle" still stayed at Mr. Chen's house and did not follow him, because we felt that Mr. Chen's wife, Professor Shan and Tian Liwen were at home, so it was best to

The "Monkey Eagle" stays at home. If there is any danger, the "Monkey Eagle" is a strong protection.

In the end, it was my cousin who spoke first: "I think we should go up and have a look, but the tree is really too high. Except for Xiao Lei, I'm afraid none of us can go up."

Crazy Liu nodded and said: "Actually, this poplar tree itself is very strange. It is said that the lifespan of this kind of poplar tree is generally only about forty or fifty years, and it cannot grow so thick, but for this pine tree

Judging from the trunk alone, the tree is almost hundreds of years old. It is easy to know the age of the tree, just look at the annual rings on the trunk, and the number of annual rings is sometimes related to the thickness of the tree.

Therefore, this tree is very unusual, and human skin hangs on this tree. With this special feature, it is worth going up to have a look. Xiao Lei, if you want to go up, be careful."

Xiao Lei smiled easily and said: "Compared with climbing a rock wall, climbing a tree is much easier. When I was training abroad, I climbed a giant steel tower hundreds of meters high with my bare hands, so I have to climb a large tower of this height."

Tree, a piece of cake."

Those of us who have not received special training really have no idea how to climb such a big tree with bare hands, because this kind of big tree is too thick for one person to hug, which means that it is impossible.

Just like climbing an ordinary tree, just hold the trunk with your hands and climb up. But such a thick tree cannot be climbed with your hands, so how can you climb it?

Xiao Lei borrowed a piece of rope from Old Man Yuan, and wrapped the rope around the tree trunk and tied a round noose on it. Then he got into the round noose and let the noose fit around his lower back.

Then, Xiao Lei asked for a rope tens of meters long and put it on his shoulder. Everyone knows that after climbing up, Xiao Lei would use this rope to tie it to a branch, and then follow this rope.

Landed on the ground.

Xiaolei first used the rope to move up quickly. This was the first time I saw him climbing a tree using this method. I couldn't help but admire him in my heart - people who have received professional training are indeed different at critical moments.

After a while, Xiao Lei climbed to the crown of the tree. He grabbed the branch and climbed to the branch where the human skin was hanging in a few strokes.

We all raised our heads and looked up, but because we were facing the sun, we couldn't see clearly what Xiao Lei was doing, but suddenly we heard Xiao Lei shouting from above: "There are many words carved on this tree trunk.

Patterned”.

Everyone couldn't help but be surprised. This discovery alone was enough to shock us.

Before we could fully recall what he said, Xiao Lei shouted again in surprise: "This branch turns out to be not a branch."

A branch is not a branch? What does this mean? Isn’t this statement a contradiction in terms?

Immediately afterwards, there was a crackling sound from above, and some small branches and leaves fell down, and Xiao Lei seemed to be breaking branches on it.

After a while, everyone discovered that Xiao Lei tied a branch with a rope and slowly lowered it.

When the branch fell to the ground, we quickly gathered around to take a look. Only then did we realize that the shape looked like a branch, but it was not a branch at all. Although it was brown and the color looked a bit like a branch, when we looked closely,

, only to find that it gave off a slight metallic luster. The most shocking thing was that it was actually engraved with dense text and many strange symbols.

My cousin stepped forward and tapped this "branch" gently with his fingers. The branch-like thing made a metallic sound.

At this time, Xiao Lei also followed the rope and descended from the big tree.

"This piece of thing is attached to the branch, and it seems to grow together with the branch. I used a small pocket hacksaw to cut it off."

Xiao Lei wiped his sweat and said that he always carries a variety of small tools with him, and it is these small tools that can play a big role at critical moments.

Through this recent experience, I deeply realized the importance of written records. Through a written record, you can know things that happened for hundreds or even thousands of years as if you were there.

In the well-shaped canyon, through the words on the stones, those incredible historical events seem to be presented to us again, and what are the contents of the words on this branch-like object?

I don’t know why, when my cousin and old man Yuan were reading the words on it carefully, Madman Six repeatedly tapped the thing, and sometimes pressed it on the thing with his index finger, middle finger and thumb like feeling the pulse. This was strange.

This move left us in a state of confusion, not knowing what was going on.

I wanted to ask Crazy Six, but I saw that his brows were furrowed, as if he was thinking hard about something, and he shook his head and nodded again. Seeing this, none of us dared to disturb him.

Although none of us can understand what Crazy Six is ​​doing, we all probably recognize the characters on that piece of stuff. They are standard willow script characters. Each character is delicate and straight, and the strokes are vigorous and beautifully carved.

, although we know every word, most of us still don’t quite understand what they mean when connected together.

At this time, I heard Crazy Six muttering to himself: "What exactly is this thing? It should be a piece of metal or a piece of ore, but it has the characteristics of meridians inside, like a living thing

Like, what's going on?"

Unexpectedly, after hearing what he said, Old Yuan suddenly stood up as if he had been pricked by a needle, and asked Crazy Six with a trembling voice: "What did you just say? You mean that this thing seems to be a living ore.

, or should I say it’s a living metal, right?”

Seeing Old Man Yuan's reaction, Crazy Six replied in shock: "Yes, do you know this kind of thing?"

Old man Yuan nodded and said: "Well, senior Xuan Heng mentioned this kind of thing in the manuscript, and this kind of thing is a matter of life and death for them."

When everyone heard this, they were all shocked. Even my cousin, who was squatting to read the words above, couldn't help but stand up and looked at Old Yuan with surprise.

Old Yuan calmed down his emotions a little before continuing: "This is a living metal."

The first sentence he spoke made us unable to understand - what? A living metal? It's so ridiculous. How can a metal be alive? And how can a living object be a metal?

"I know that we can't imagine this kind of living metal, but it is true. This kind of thing should be cut from the lower part of the meteorite.

That meteorite not only emits special energy, but what's even more incredible is that the materials in each part of it seem to be very different. For example, the material in the upper part of the meteorite is very hard. Senior Xuan Heng once gave me one piece.

It should have been scattered when the meteorite hit the earth. It is only half the size of a fist, but weighs more than 80 kilograms and is extremely dense.

Why did you give me that kind of thing?

Because a few years ago, I suffered from severe arthritis and it was difficult to even walk. When senior Xuan Heng found out, he gave me the stone and asked me to apply it on my joints every day. At that time, I didn’t pay much attention to it.

, I only thought that this effect might be limited, but what I never expected was that after just one month, my arthritis was completely cured. This was the first time I personally experienced the magical power of meteorites.

Senior Xuan Heng said in the manuscript that the part under the meteorite is even more wonderful - that part of the stone has completely metallic properties, and is no different from metal in terms of luster, hardness, and texture.

, but that kind of stone will grow on its own, and if you accidentally knock one off, it will grow back automatically.

What's even more amazing is that it will not grow indefinitely. Instead, it will maintain that shape forever when it is separated from the meteorite. Even after it is damaged, it can still grow back to that shape.

The most incredible thing is that there is only one way to reset its original shape - use human skin.
