Chapter 155 (1/2)
The steps are hidden behind the altar. If you don't look carefully, it's hard to find them.
The circling steps are all made of wood. There is no support at the bottom, only wood and rope for bearing. Spiral all the way up to the crown of the ancient tree.
”This step is very characteristic. It's like a castle in the air.” A solemn compliment.
According to previous news reports, archaeologists have found ancient castles in the air, which are houses built on mountain walls. With only a few pillars to support it, a house stands out on the hillside.
Many modern architects are embarrassed by this superb architectural technique.
Now the steps are similar to those of castles in the air. The difference is that the castles in the air are supported by wooden columns, while the steps are supported by the tension of ropes.
”I just don't know if it's solid or not. If you step on it and break it, it's miserable.” Said the monkey.
”Just try, stupid!” He Da said, stretched out his foot and stepped on the second step.
There was a creaking sound from the whole step, but there was nothing different, let alone broken.
”Why, it's quite strong? Monkey, come on, hold me. I'll try it on both feet. ” He Da said, holding the monkey's arm and stepping on both feet.
Surprisingly, this time, the steps didn't even creak, so they could bear so much weight.
”Bull pen! I've been able to be so strong for more than a thousand years. Now I'm a little envious of the ancients. How happy it is to live in an age when there is no fake goods He also make complaints about the power of Li Tucao. Make complaints about it.
Solemn make complaints about the big Tucao, but carefully looked at the material of the stairs, see light suddenly for a long time: ”no wonder! i see! These are made of rattan beetles soaked in tung oil. They are very strong, waterproof and insect resistant, and they are cut continuously. Nature can be preserved for thousands of years. ”
”Rattan beetle? Is it the kind of rattan beetle that Zhuge Liang burned in the fire? ” As soon as the monkey heard it, he thought of the allusion.
”Well.” Zhuang nodded emphatically“ In the romance of the Three Kingdoms, it was written that Zhuge Liang set fire to thirty thousand rattan beetles in panshe Valley, almost destroying a clan. The rattan beetle mentioned in it should be this one. The only drawback is the fear of fire. ”
”Can you believe what's in the novel?”
”Novels also come from life. According to newspaper reports, in a Buyi village in Anshun, the descendants of rattan beetles really live. And there are old people in the stockade who will make rattan beetles. The reporter experimented and found that they are very strong indeed. It can be seen that what is said in the Three Kingdoms is based on facts. What's more, what we have in front of us is evidence. What's not credible? ” Solemn way.
He Da heard a murmur: ”that can be careful, this thing is afraid of fire, if not careful detonator exploded, we must not all be burned here?”
With that, general he took care to carry his bag for storing detonators, and then he was relieved.
It's not surprising that he was very cautious. The rattan beetles in the Three Kingdoms died miserably. Even though they were solemn, they felt numb at the thought, so he couldn't help being careless.
As an outstanding representative of metaphysics, Zhuge Liang lost his life for several years by burning the rattan beetles, which led to the failure of star setting later.
The last generation should learn from the lessons of their predecessors for fear of planting on this rattan beetle.
Of course, Zhuge's death was not only caused by three fires: burning bowangpo, burning Chibi and burning rattan beetles, which led to his early death.
It is not close to Zhuge's death to guard against rattan beetles. It is the psychological effect of being bitten by a snake.
Squeak, squeak
A sound of force on the steps came, but he DA and the monkey stood on the steps at the same time.
”Oh, the God of NIMA! I and the monkey how also small 300 Jin? It's all right! It's more than a thousand years old! ” He grinned and said.
The monkey was obviously not so optimistic as he da. His face turned white and he was obviously a little nervous. He stood on two steps with his feet up and down, not daring to move a little.
”Tut tut...” he Da kept looking at the rattan steps under his feet and gave out a sound of praise.
If it wasn't for the big size, he really wanted to tear down these steps and sell them outside.
”Brother Zhuang, come up!” He Da called solemnly.
Solemnly agreed, directly stepped on.
Three people, weighing four or five hundred jin, showed no sign of breaking apart except for a few shakes.
The strength of this rattan is beyond everyone's imagination.
This also makes he Da more salivating, muttering: ”Damn, when we leave, we must take out a section.”
Solemn can not help laughing, said: ”brother he, you don't think about it. This thing is invulnerable. What do you use to cut it off? ”
He Dayi stagnated, but also woke up. This thing can't be taken away, so I don't think about it any more.
Three people stepped on the steps and slowly went to the crown of the ancient tree.
It seems that the steps are not long, but because of the gradual spiral, the solemn three walked for a long time.
Especially in the middle of the walk, I just reached the center of the pool, and the steps were hanging in the air. When I looked down, I felt a little dazzled.
The black water was full of awe inspiring light, but the flashlight couldn't get through at all. The confusion of light and shadow creates a strange picture, like something hidden under the water, which makes people fear.
”There seems to be something in the water. It's frightening.” The monkey trembled on the steps, a little afraid said.
”It's just you! Don't look if you're afraid! ” He Dayi slapped the monkey on the head and scolded.
