I don’t know how many times I pestered my grandfather to tell me the story about Liu Yunlian and his entire scientific expedition team since I was a child.
Every time I heard this story, I kept asking what the ox-blood stone looked like, and I also imagined that one day I could find the red-gleaming ox-blood stone.
However, to be honest, I never dreamed that I would see the legendary Ox Blood Stone at such a time and in such a place.
I was staring at the oxblood stone in front of me in a daze, when suddenly there was a "pitter patter..." sound behind me.
I turned around and saw that it was actually a group of ghost-faced moths, flying towards me in groups.
The group of moths didn't seem to notice my presence. After circling in front of me, they flew straight into the shadows not far away.
After a while, the corner that was originally shrouded in darkness lit up.
And as that place lit up little by little, a huge human face slowly appeared in front of me.
The human face was as tall as two and a half meters tall, with brows and raised eyes, a green face and fangs. He looked like an evil ghost crawling out of hell.
I looked at the huge human face that suddenly appeared, and couldn't help but take a breath, and secretly shouted in my heart: "What the hell is this?"
Although I tried hard to keep calm, I couldn't help but take two steps back.
In my panic, I accidentally hit a piece of gravel with my heel. The gravel rolled and made a series of "pop, pop" sounds.
The sound was not loud at all, but it sounded extremely loud at this time.
Perhaps hearing the sound of the gravel rolling down, the giant demon-like face began to distort and deform.
The next second, the giant face suddenly dissipated. Only then did I realize that the original giant face was entirely made up of those ghost-faced moths.
And the place where they originally landed was a dead tree.
"Tree……?"
I looked at the dead tree in front of me, and I couldn't help but think of the note I dug out from the bottom of the tree called Lu Dingchun.
Thinking of this, I hurriedly took out the note from my pocket. The material of the note was very special. Although it had been floating in the underground river for so long, and my entire pants were soaked by the river water, it was still intact. , not even a drop of water.
I felt strange, but this was obviously not the time to think about these things.
I put the piece of paper in front of my eyes, and the two words "tree" and "fire" were still written on it.
I looked at the words on the note, and then looked at the tree in front of me, and thought to myself: "Does this guy mean to set this tree on fire with fire?"
I folded the note and put it back in my pocket, then walked forward, came to the tree, touched it with my hand, and suddenly a sticky liquid touched my hand.
I brought the sticky liquid to my nose, and a faint aroma penetrated my nostrils.
"Perhaps..." I thought to myself: "Maybe the liquid attracted those ghost-faced moths? They want to burn this tree... Where should I get the fire source?"
I was thinking as I walked around in circles, and before I knew it, I walked up to the black lacquered wood coffin.
I looked sideways at the mummy lying in the coffin, smiled bitterly twice, and said to myself: "Brother Lu...Brother Lu...Since you have pointed out a life path for me, why don't you follow it to the end?" Where? Tell me, if you keep a lighter on you...will it save me trouble? "
When I said this, my heart suddenly moved, and an idea suddenly flashed in my mind, "Could it be that he left the lighter, but I didn't find it?"
Thinking of this, I no longer hesitated, turned over and jumped into the large black lacquer wood coffin, lifted Lu Dingchun who was half submerged in the water, and touched his body all over with my other hand.
Sure enough, in the innermost pocket of his coat, he found a fire seal.
The huozhezi was placed in a small iron box and wrapped with a layer of oil paper, so even after being soaked in water for a long time, the huozhezi inside did not get a few drops of water.
I looked at the fire fold in my hand and said with a smile: "Brother Lu, you are so thoughtful... If I can get out of here, or if I can understand everything in front of me, I will definitely burn more paper money for you... Don't worry, brother I always do what I say!”
Before I finished speaking, I jumped out of the large black lacquered wood coffin.
Immediately afterwards, I walked quickly to the tree, gently pulled out the head of Huozhezi, and after a few blows, a faint flame slowly ignited.
Lighting wood with fire is naturally not a strenuous task. I grabbed a branch on the dead wood and handed it the fire stick in my hand.
Strangely enough, after the branch encountered the fire break, it started to fire with a "boom".
Not only that, the fire was extremely fast. Before I could figure out what was going on, the entire tree in front of me burned down. A huge heat wave hit my face. I couldn't help but take two steps back and stretched out a hand. Just block in front of yourself to prevent the fire from burning you.
The fire soared into the sky, illuminating the originally dark underground world. Countless bats hiding in the dark flew out of the cracks in the rocks and crashed around. Some even accidentally fell into the fire and struggled again. After a few blows, it turned into a pile of coke.
I covered my mouth and nose, not because I was afraid of inhaling too much smoke, but because the liquid that originally exuded a light fragrance turned into an unacceptable stench after being exposed to fire. The taste is like a dozen bottles of Wang Zhi and stinky tofu stewed in a pot at the same time. As soon as you take a whiff, your stomach will start to turn upside down.
Perhaps it was because the dead tree was full of sticky liquid. The dead tree burned very quickly. In just a short time, a big tree surrounded by three or four people was completely burned, leaving only A tree more than one meter high stands there.
Everything that should be burned was basically burned out, and the intensity of the fire began to decrease little by little. After a short time, the dead tree could only be seen smoking again, but there was no open flame.
Although I said a lot, it all happened too fast, just like the flowers we put out during the New Year when we were kids. They just started to light up and were over before we could get excited.
This is basically what it means when this tree is burned. After a "brush", only the black heart of the tree is left.
