Chapter 11587

"Can it reach the sky? So magical!" Yang Ruoqing immediately became interested. She stood up and took a few steps back, looking up at the big tree above her head.

You know what, this tree is really too tall. And unlike other trees, it doesn't have many split branches. After so many years of ups and downs, the split branches next to it have withered away like natural selection, leaving only a trunk that is as thick as five or six people can hug, standing straight up into the sky.

The tree was full of pits and holes, with traces of wind and frost, as well as black holes left by lightning.

But this tree is immortal. It reaches straight into the sky like the Monkey King’s golden cudgel, except that it is really a paulownia tree.

"You can't see the top of this tree. It's just a straight pole with plenty of places to hold on to. Why can't anyone climb up?" Yang Ruoqing asked Zuo Junmo curiously.

Zuo Junmo smiled but said nothing.

Yang Ruoqing asked again: "Brother Zuo, have you ever climbed it?"

Zuo Junmo nodded: "Of course, I have climbed it three times. The first time I climbed it was when I was Jinling's age. I was a fearless calf who refused to admit defeat and was not afraid of anything."

"The second time was when I was in my early twenties, when my physical strength, energy and mobility were at their peak."

"The third time was when I was 30 years old. I had a lot of experience in climbing in all aspects. With the failures of the first two times, I did the most preparation before the third climb. I brought people to assist me, to help deliver water and dry food along the way, and to replenish my energy at any time."

"Wow! Brother Zuo, you are so prepared to climb a tree. I admire you!" Yang Ruoqing couldn't help but give Zuo Junmo a thumbs up.

In Zuo Junmo, she seemed to vaguely see the figures of those climbers who climbed Mount Everest, who dared to challenge nature!

Unlike her, she just lies down at home, eats and sleeps, and then eats and sleeps.

You know what, lying flat is really comfortable!

Life is so good, why do we have to go out and fight against the evils of nature?

Especially some dangerous activities, she really doesn't support it.

What does it mean to conquer nature?

In front of nature, human beings are just ants. You can never conquer nature. What you can conquer is actually your own courage and perseverance.

However, I don’t support or agree, but I won’t oppose. Everyone has their own hobbies and ideas, and we should respect each other.

"Brother Zuo, how many feet did you climb the last time? And why did you give up climbing?" Luo Fengtang asked.

Men and women are different, especially when it comes to their focus on the same thing.

For example, when Yang Ruoqing heard what Zuo Junmo said, her first reaction was emotional output.

Luo Fengtang was different. He was more concerned about the height he could climb to during the actual operation and the reason for his third failure.

After he asked this, Yang Ruoqing also became curious and looked at Zuo Junmo intently, waiting for his answer.

Zuo Junmo stood up and walked around the big tree. He put his hands on the tree, looked up and sighed.

"To be honest, it took me three days to finally climb a hundred feet..." A hundred feet?

Luo Fengtang's expression changed subtly, and he was obviously shocked by Zuo Junmo's feat.

As for Yang Ruoqing, she quickly converted this hundred feet into a more intuitive reference comparison chart in her mind...

One zhang is equivalent to 330 meters, and one hundred zhang is meters high!

Taking an ordinary commercial floor as an example, each floor is 3 meters high, which is equivalent to 110 floors!

I go!

Zuo Junmo, this is too awesome, right? Climbed 110 floors in three days?

Oh my God, even if Yang Ruoqing is a specially trained agent who can overcome her fear of heights, there is a limit to this so-called overcoming.

It's over 50 stories high. Looking down from above, the feeling that people and cars are condensed into small black dots under your feet will destroy a person's will from the bottom of his heart, making you have an inexplicable urge to jump down!

Moreover, the higher you go, the stronger the wind becomes, and the floors seem to be shaking, and this only applies to the tall buildings.

Think about this tree in front of you, which is so thick that it takes five or six people to hug it. The higher you climb, the more you look up and see the endless stretch above your head.

Looking down, the big tree has been condensed into a slender telephone pole, and the people below can no longer be seen. The mountains are lying at your feet like small hills.

Those cliffs and abysses between the mountains look like an inconspicuous crack in the ground in your eyes.

It’s 110 floors high, do you dare to look down?

With every climb, with the wind whistling over the treetop, do you feel like the tree is about to be uprooted, and you are about to be smashed to pieces?

The fear engraved in your genes will be released little by little, especially when you can't see the end and you are the only one around you, you will go completely crazy!

"The real reason why I couldn't climb down was 30% due to insufficient food and water supply." Zuo Junmo continued to talk about the reasons for his failure.

"Of course, Brother Zuo, you can climb, but those who are helping you transport supplies can't keep up with the pace." Yang Ruoqing said.

It’s like those bloggers who make skiing videos are great, but the guys who film them are also awesome.

Others are skiing seriously, but you are skiing to keep up with the pace while holding up your phone to take pictures. You are even more awesome...

"Brother Zuo, what are the remaining 70% of the reasons?" Luo Fengtang asked again.

Zuo Junmo continued, "The higher we go, the more I feel my body can't take it."

"Fear of heights is only secondary. I felt chest tightness, dizziness, vertigo, and difficulty breathing. The higher I climbed, the colder it got. Even during the day when the sun came out, I was freezing cold. Not to mention at night. I remember climbing here at this time of year, but at night, the water on the tree literally turned to ice and my body was severely hypothermic!"

"I climbed for three days, but to be honest, it was only two days, because I spent the third day climbing down the tree, and I climbed very slowly because my body was exhausted and I was very weak."

"I climbed all the way down with faith. Fortunately, my followers received the hint I gave them in advance and climbed up to help me. Others had already prepared quilts, ginseng soup and other supplies under the tree. That's how I saved my life."

"But after I returned, I was still ill for three to five days, which made my mother and Jinling very worried."

"After I recovered from my illness, I gave up the idea of ​​climbing again. People..." He gently patted the tree in front of him, "People are not omnipotent. After three climbs, I have gained some insights."

Yang Ruoqing also looked at the big tree. Although she had no intention of challenging it, she was still very interested in the life insights that Zuo Junmo had gained at such a great cost.

"Brother Zuo, what are your insights? Tell me about it."
