Chapter 94: Planting Trees

The next day, at the gate of the Heaven and Earth Temple.

The number of pilgrims queuing seems to have returned to the exaggerated flow of people in the first two days after the temple was renovated.

Unlike before, many pilgrims carry a sapling in their hands.

Common peach trees, willows, cherry trees, and even rare huanghuali and silver fir trees, a variety of young plants can not help but make people suspect that they have come to the flower and tree market.

If someone who has studied botany a little bit is present, they will definitely be dumbfounded.

You must know that there is no shortage of nationally protected species, and God knows where the pilgrims got them!

"Yo, buddy, you're afraid it's an authentic yew, right? This is a natural anti-cancer plant, some fake and shoddy products on the Internet are so expensive, if you hang it, you can definitely get a good price!" said the man in glasses holding a linden seedling to the man in suit next to him.

"Hehe, isn't this the call of the corresponding Xuanwei Daoist! Besides, isn't your Bodhi tree quite rare?" the man in the suit laughed.

"I saw a local tyrant just now, and he actually brought in a young dragon tree, compared to this, this Bodhi tree is insignificant!" said the man with glasses.

The dragon tree may sound a little unfamiliar, but what about the dragon tree?

That's right, it is the kind of divine wood in which Mu Guiying is in charge, which is said to be used to drive away evil, ward off evil spirits, town houses, collections, inheritance, health care, etc.

Because of its rarity, the market price has long surpassed that of gold, and there is still no market.

"Isn't it just planting trees, is there anything else to pay attention to?" The college student in the back listened to the conversation between the two, glanced at the bushes in his hands, and almost knelt down for the bigwigs on the spot.

When the man in the suit and the man in glasses heard this, they smiled in unison, but they didn't speak.

A similar situation is staged everywhere at the entrance of the Taoist temple, and the fuse is the Qingming Festival activity that Xuan Wei thought of.

Heaven and Earth Temple cannot hold pujas, but some simple activities can be carried out, such as planting trees!

Planting trees in Qingming is also a custom that has been handed down from ancient times.

Ancient pines and cypresses, wild cranes are vertical and horizontal, green bamboo and white lotus, and lonely clouds are always at ease. Tree planting is in line with the concept of the unity of nature and man, and the concept of happiness to the Tao, so the tree planter can get the blessing of physical and mental tranquility and Taoist enhancement.

With this kind of thought, Xuan Wei let Ruoshui promote it through various channels.

However, Xuan Wei didn't expect that the appeal of the view of heaven and earth seemed to be a little too strong!

Obviously, it is just a simple tree planting to pray for blessings, but the pilgrims attach great importance to it, thinking that the more precious the young tree, the more it can set off their hearts, and perhaps the more chance they will receive good fortune.

This is like going to the temple to offer incense, even if the pilgrim knows that the incense is only sincere, there are still many people who spend more money to buy good incense.

To say that this approach is wrong, then it is not enough, it can only be said that personal concepts are different.

"Supreme Heavenly Venerable, these laymen are so enthusiastic, haven't they considered that some saplings are not suitable for planting in the south at all?" said Ming Ye, who received the pilgrims.

All kinds of saplings are planted together, and their habits are completely different from each other, how many of them can really survive?

Think about such a precious sapling, but it turned out to be planted to death, is it a blessing or a sin?

Taking a step back, even if these trees survive and grow, will they be ornamental if they are planted in a pile?

Just thinking about it is spicy enough for the eyes!

"The area demarcated on the vacant land before is obviously not large enough, but fortunately, Lingyun Mountain lacks everything, that is, there is no shortage of land. Tomorrow night, ask a few believers to help you sort the young plants that need to be planted, and then you can choose a place to plant them according to your habits. Xuan Wei quickly thought of a solution and commanded Ming Ye.

As for whether the saplings can be planted, Xuanwei is not too worried.

The aura of Lingyun Mountain is abundant, and the aura around the view of heaven and earth is even richer, and under the nourishment of the aura, it is difficult for the trees with strong vitality to die.

After a short time, the pilgrims were organized, divided into several small teams, and began to work in full swing.

Since they did not expect the tree planting activity to be so popular, the tools prepared by Tiandiguan were not enough, but fortunately, some pilgrims prepared their own small shovels or hoes.

The pilgrims, who really didn't have tools, were not idle, helping to clean up stones, weeds, and carry water, but the division of labor was clear.

The water used to water the trees is not the spiritual spring water of the ancient well of Longquan, there is a mountain spring not far from the Taoist temple, even if it is not as magical as the spiritual spring water, it is also cool and slightly sweet, far better than the mineral water on the market.

Nourished by the aura of heaven and earth, the spring water is somewhat permeated with a trace of aura, which is beneficial to both people drinking and watering trees.

Men, women and children gathered around, there were men in designer suits wielding hoes, young men selling on the ground helping to carry water, and gray-haired grandmothers holding their little grandsons to guide on the spot.

Laughter, noise, shouting, cheering, mixed with a few loud dog barks.

Xuan Wei looked at the inexplicable harmonious picture around her, and couldn't help but smile at the corner of her mouth and said to herself: "Supreme Heavenly Venerable, this prosperous world, as you wish!"

It may be too early to say that it is the prosperous age of the Daomen, but just like the saplings everywhere will grow into a forest after many years, the prosperous era that countless Daomen disciples, including Xuanwei, are looking forward to will eventually come at some point in the future!

took a few photos with her mobile phone, and Xuanwei sent these memorable photos to Ruoshui, and she uploaded them on the Internet on her behalf.

In just a few minutes, there were countless likes and messages.

"For some reason, seeing these photos makes me feel open-minded!"

"The last time I planted trees was when I was in elementary school, and it was too much trouble at the time, but now I can't help but want to get involved!"

"I don't believe in religion, but for the public welfare activity of planting trees, I must praise it!"

"Man is the law of the earth, the earth is the law of the sky, the heaven is the law of the Tao, and the Tao is the law of nature! This may be the harmonious beauty of man and nature, right?"

"The scenery is beautiful, the people are beautiful, the heart is beautiful!"

According to local media reports, a wave of tree planting fever sparked in various parts of the country in the next few days. According to the analysis of relevant experts, this is the embodiment of the improvement of the quality of the people, the concept of environmental protection has begun to take root in the hearts of the people, and the publicity and implementation of the relevant parts is worthy of affirmation.

As for the people involved in tree planting, where do they think so complicated, it is just a casual act of kindness.

And a few photos taken by Xuan Wei have also been preserved by the pilgrims.

Decades later, during the Ching Ming Festival, some of the pilgrims who participated in the tree planting had long since passed away, and those who were still alive were no longer young and dying.

Accompanied by their children and grandchildren, they found the saplings they had planted and grown, and smiled and watered them.

And this scene was also filmed and placed with the photos of that year.

Over the decades, the saplings have grown into large trees, and the young have become old people.

However, the harmony between man and nature is still the same!

(PS: Ye personally thinks that it really makes sense to plant a sapling while you are young!)
