Chapter 70 Exploring

"For sacrifice? This... is completely unnecessary. Isn't it much more convenient to build an altar just for sacrifice? Isn't it necessary to fight so much?" Wuxie asked in confusion.

Master Liang shook his head and said, "I don't know this. After all, the Snake Kingdom is just a small country on the border. Their sacrifice customs are very different from that of the Central Plains."

Lao Yang interrupted and said, "It was not cast by the snake - people from the Snake Kingdom. Is it a relic of ancient civilization? I have seen it in some exams - archaeological magazines. I have found nails in coal mines more than 200 million years ago!"

Master Liang smiled bitterly and said, "I really don't think this is certain. From 1000 BC to the first year of AD, it was called a miracle period by the historical community. Many miracles that could not happen were built at that time, such as the pyramids, the Great Wall, and the Mausoleum of Qin Shihuang. They were all built at that time. It is not impossible to cast such a bronze tree. After all, the ancestors had mastered the technology of smelting bronze at that time. At the emperor's order, tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of people below were working hard for decades!"

"Master Liang, don't you claim to be familiar with the history of the Snake Kingdom, then can you tell when this bronze tree was built?" Chen Hao asked.

Master Liang knew that it was time to test himself. He stared at the huge bronze tree for a long time before saying:

"From the carvings on it and the corrosion degree of bronze, it is estimated that it was from the Shang and Zhou dynasties. What is used for during sacrifices? This is too old and beyond my knowledge..."

Chen Hao asked again: "The Shang and Zhou dynasties are separated by more than 1,000 years, and it accounts for almost one-third of the history of Chinese civilization. What you said is equivalent to not saying it. Can you say it more specifically? In which period of Shang and Zhou dynasties was it?"

Master Liang said bitterly when he heard this: "It's hard to see this with the naked eye. I can only roughly infer it. You see, the copper rust is black and gray, and it may be a kind of tin bronze, lead bronze, or aluminum bronze, so the possibility of the Western Zhou Dynasty is the greatest, and the time should be during the reign of King Mu of Zhou."

When Chen Hao heard King Mu of Zhou, he was careless and thought of the records of Queen Mother of the West and King Mu of Zhou in historical materials. Is this bronze giant tree related to King Mu of Zhou?

According to historical records, during a tour, King Mu of Zhou passed by the Queen Mother Kingdom of the West and was warmly entertained by the Queen Mother of the West. The two sat by the Yao Pool together and drank and had a poem and couple, and fell in love with each other and developed a love between dew and mandarin ducks.

Later, it is said that King Mu of Zhou learned that Queen Mother of the West had mastered the art of immortality, so he tried his best to get the art of immortality from Queen Mother of the West. However, he failed to do so. In the end, the two sides had a disagreement and changed from lover to enemy.

Chen Hao couldn't help but wonder, is this bronze giant tree also related to the technique of immortality?

Everyone studied it for a long time, but couldn't come up with any reason, and there was no conclusion.

Chen Hao simply said, "Okay, we'll study here for a long time, but we can't get any conclusions. I think even if there is any secret, it should be hidden on this bronze tree. Let's climb up and take a look?"

Everyone nodded and then climbed up to the bronze tree.

There are many branches and many carvings of patterns on the green tung tree. It is not very laborious to get up, and it is similar to climbing a ladder. Soon everyone climbed up more than ten meters.

Chen Hao chose to cut off the back behind, with Master Liang in front of him, Lao Yang in the middle, and Wu Xie in the front.

Only then did everyone see clearly that the branches and trunks were cast together, the interface was flawless, without any broken marks, and it was very strong.

Master Liang in front was not in good physical condition. He had only climbed more than ten meters high and was already exhausted and sweating profusely and panting, and had to stop and rest.

Chen Hao wanted to urge him to hurry up, but seeing his pale face and exhausted energy, he couldn't speak, so he had to stop.

Seeing this, Wu Xie and Lao Yang stopped.

When Master Liang saw that everyone stopped waiting for him, he felt as if he was about to have a general amnesty. He quickly lay on the branches beside him, gasping for breath.

Standing on the bronze tree and looking down, the torches they lit before looked very dark at this moment, and it seemed like a bottomless abyss below.

Seeing that everyone was tired, Lao Yang said, "Old Wu, why not - let's talk a dirty joke to relax your pressure?"

Wu Xie was also very tired, and he cursed: "Go! Are you fucking tired? I see that your calves are trembling and you want to tell dirty jokes. You say it yourself. I don't have that energy. I don't know how high it is. I advise you not to waste your energy either!"

Taking advantage of the brief rest, everyone took out the kettle and took a sip of water. After resting for more than ten minutes, they continued to climb upwards.

At this moment, the torch below suddenly went out in an instant and fell into darkness.

Chen Hao was at the bottom, and he first found that the torch was extinguished and quickly looked down.

Through the night vision ability of Yin and Yang eyes, he can clearly see the situation on the ground below.

After watching for a while, there was no movement, but the next second, he saw countless monkey-like things climbing up the bronze tree, with their heads surprisingly large, twice as big as normal people's heads.

Chen Hao felt nervous and quickly looked at the monkey-like monsters.

The monsters in front climbed very fast, and they had climbed up for several meters in just a few breaths.

Only then did he see clearly that these monsters were wearing a large mask on their faces, which made their heads look twice as big as ordinary people in the dark.

It was not until this time that Wu Xie and the others on the top noticed the abnormal movement below.

Wu Xie said in confusion: "Huh? Why did the torch we lit go out? I clearly remember that there was still a lot of turmeric oil that had not been burned out, so why did it go out so quickly? Something was wrong!"

Lao Yang frowned and said, "Can it be blown out by the wind?"

Without waiting for Wuxie to answer, Chen Hao quickly shouted to everyone: "Something is coming up, please be careful!"

Master Liang was the least courageous. When he heard something was climbing up, he was so scared that he was no longer looking shy. He quickly used his limbs and used his strength to climb up desperately.

Wu Xie above quickly shouted: "Did Ahao see clearly? What is it?"

"I look like a monkey wearing a mask. I don't know what it is. Be careful! Hold the flashlight!" Chen Hao replied.

After saying that, he took out the wolf eye flashlight from his backpack and threw it at Wu Xie on it. Wu Xie caught it in the air.
