Chapter 187, parting ways

"Haha... Tianyue, what did you say to him?"
"I really didn't say anything. He has a weird temper. No one knows what he is thinking. Forget it, it's more convenient for him to be away. Teacher, I'm ready for it, let's go too."
As he said that, Professor Monalou and Chu Tianyue turned over and galloped towards Songye Lake behind Alshan.
"Tianyue, does the book left by your ancestor really have Alshan's drawings in it?"
Chu Tianyue said, "Teacher, don't worry, yesterday afternoon, I had already reconnaissed the terrain here in advance, exactly the same as the map drawn on the last page of the book left by my grandfather. My grandfather did not say what it was. He said that this mountain has a great connection with the 60-year-old curse of our Taoist moving mountain.
After one night, Chu Tianyue and Professor Monalou climbed over the towering Al Mountains and came to a wilderness a hundred miles away from Songye Lake. Strange stones stood in the wilderness, and white bones were everywhere in the sea of grass. Professor Monalou carefully identified and found that these corpses were severely weathered, and almost all of the bones were broken, and they had to be at least 1,500 years old.
In addition, many ancient totems of ethnic minority standing in the wilderness are carved on the strange rocks, some of which are hideous evil ghosts, and some are beasts on the grassland.
In the middle of the totem, there is a giant tree about tens of meters high. This is an old tree with trunks. The old tree has very prosperous branches, like a huge mushroom top. It can be imagined what it was when its branches and leaves were lush.
There are many outlines similar to human faces on the trunk of this giant tree. These are later artificially carved, and are women's faces. To be precise, these faces are all from the same woman. Different faces express the woman's different emotions, and all the joys, angers, sorrows, and happiness.
"Teacher, what kind of variety is this tree? Why haven't I seen it before?"
Professor Monalou approached, touched the dry trunk, and then reached out to pull a branch from the tree. Generally, the branches of the dead old tree must be very dry and without any moisture. When it is broken, it will definitely make a crisp sound. But this tree is not the case. Professor Monalou almost took great effort to pull it off. Moreover, the branches had just broken, and blood was flowing out of the cut. He smelled it, and there seemed to be a fishy smell in the viscous red liquid.
"It's a rare tree! This kind of tree has been extinct for hundreds of years. Even if it was thousands of years ago, it was not common on the grassland. In ancient times, people called it Diyin Cuiluo, saying that this ancient tree could live by absorbing underground yin energy and would not die without rain for decades. However, this tree has a strong evil spirit, which is exactly in line with the beliefs of ethnic minorities on the grassland. People believe that only rare trees can connect with nature and inherit the world. Therefore, it is said that the earliest Donghu people used to burial tree burial after their death, and the tree burial was chosen as a rare tree. They would hang their bodies on the tops of the tree, like sleeping bags, and the containers that wrapped the corpses were the seeds of the rare tree. It can be said that the rare trees were born specifically for the burial of the Donghu people." Professor Mo Nalou is indeed an expert in this field. He said it well, and even Chu Tianyue had never understood these.
"But why are there no corpses hanging on this tree?" Chu Tianyue asked the teacher again.
