Chapter 196: Dead Sand

"Peace of mind, peace of mind!"

In the hall on the first floor, the innkeeper spat at the expert on the TV and scolded: "It's November, it's winter! The average temperature is still 18 degrees.

"What are you yelling about? I'll tell you, you've been in a temper lately, what do you want to do?" the proprietress reprimanded. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

"Don't love to me!"

"If you don't like to do it, get out of the house and go back to your hometown!"

The proprietress scolded and sandwiched another piece of meat for her son, and the child buried his head in the rice and said nothing.

They are not locals, they came to travel here a few years ago, and they fell in love with Grape Gully at first sight. When I went back, I cashed out my family property and opened a hotel here, and my income was not bad.

The boss is obviously a strict wife, and he muttered a few words and didn't dare to be tough. The proprietress ate in a hurry and was about to clean up the table, when she suddenly stretched her neck and said with a smile: "Xiao Gu, are you going out again today?"

"Well, go out and take a walk. ”

Gu Yu came down from the second floor with his bag on his back, and was about to leave, but when he turned around, he leaned over and said, "The money I pressed is almost gone, I still have to live for a month, and I will make up for you." ”

"Ouch, don't worry, don't worry, I'll give it when I have it. ”

The proprietress smiled, polite, but she was busy picking up the phone. Gu Yu scanned the code, turned over two thousand, and then waved his hand and wiped himself out of the door.

"I've lived by myself for a month, and I haven't seen anyone all day, don't you be a terrorist?" the boss looked at his back and couldn't help muttering.

"People are big writers, they specialize in looking for inspiration, you know a fart!"

The proprietress choked back, patted her son again, and said, "Go and do your homework after eating, study hard, don't be like your father, illiterate!"

……

But he said that Gu Yu left the grape ditch and went up the mountain all the way, without going deeper, he found a place on the periphery.

He sat cross-legged on the boulder, took out the green skin gourd, and sucked his luck. The red clouds around him boiled instantly, one by one, scrambling to drill into the gourd.

Soon, the gourd was full, his breath dispersed, and calm returned to his surroundings.

“……”

He didn't get up, but closed his eyes and intently, carefully feeling the fluctuations of the Flaming Mountain.

With the arrival of winter, the expansion rate of the anomalies in this area has unexpectedly slowed down a lot. He originally estimated that by February next year, there would be a complete outbreak. At the moment, with this winter buffer, Huozhou can hold on for a while longer.

But it's still a long way to survive, even if it survives next spring, but then it's summer, and you have to die.

"Alas......"

Gu Yu opened his eyes, shook his head, and then got up with the gourd and returned the same way.

This gourd can hold four fire aura, and because it has to be differentiated, it is tempered little by little, and the progress is relatively slow. He had been staying for a month, going into the mountain 1-2 times a week, except for eating and sleeping, and refining magic weapons.

Nowadays, the shape of the green jade needle has changed significantly. It used to be turquoise, but now it has changed to crimson, and what used to be a sharp thing with a cold glow, but now it is bright and gorgeous, as if there is a layer of fire flowing, and it is even more powerful.

He's looking forward to it, too, as if he's made something amazing.

Regarding this set of magic weapons, Gu Yu and Xiao Zhai discussed it seriously. Using it against the enemy, although it is a bit gay, but for him, it is the most practical.

The world envies the sword immortal, but in fact, he can also fix it. First hit a short sword, use the divine refining method to nourish it, and you can also collect and release it freely, killing the enemy a hundred steps away.

However, first, the sword is more difficult to control than the needle, and it consumes more spiritual power.

Second, this is indeed a flying sword - a flying sword, but you are not a sword immortal.

The real Sword Immortal Sect, which was passed down from the Ancient Immortal Period, was quite popular in Qingcheng and Emei, and is now almost cut off. It is divided into a sword and a sword. The swordsman is a sword with a tangible image, and the swordsman is a congenital one.

The Sword Immortal Sect cultivates to the fullest, with the heart as the sword, the qi as the sword, and the law as the sword.

Like those so-called sword immortals, what kind of 10,000-year-old essence gold is used to refine an invincible flying sword, and when people step on it, it is the same as the door panel, it is called the flying sword......

Low is not low?

Then again, Xiao Zhai didn't go home for more than a month, and he ran around outside. The two talked irregularly, and they were used to being separated.

He still thinks it's good, at least when he sleeps, no one grabs the quilt.

…………

Ebony City, test base.

It has been turned into a small farm, surrounded by quirky scientific instruments for monitoring and nurturing. And on the ground, hundreds of plants are planted, ranging from trees to weeds.

Outside the farm, through a glass cover, Mu Kun, Director Tong, and the commissioners of the capital gathered here to listen to the experts' introductions:

"Within the 70,000 square kilometers of Huozhou, we collected two plant and soil samples from one district, two counties, 26 townships, 172 administrative villages, and various scenic spots. In the past month, we have continued to use various methods to cultivate, but unfortunately, the effect is not optimistic. ”

As he spoke, the expert motioned to his assistant and brought up two pots of flowers and plants and a bag of soil.

A pot of rhizomes is thick, thick-skinned, yellowish-white, with rounded leaves. The bark of the other pot is grayish-brown, densely branched, ridged and glabrous, and the leaves are needle-like.

"This one is called mouse melon, and this one is called bell thorn, both of which are very common plants in the northwest. When we brought them back, they were already severely dehydrated, and after this period of cultivation, theoretically, they could completely regain their vitality, but you see......"

As soon as the expert pressed the remote control, a picture flashed on the display, which was exactly what the two plants looked like before. Everyone brushed and compared, and found that the two pots in front of them had almost no change, and they were only barely a little energetic.

"It's strange to us that this goes against biological science. All the conditions are in place for growth, but they just don't live. I can't understand this phenomenon, maybe according to what Mr. Gu said, it is the aura that has changed and eroded into the inside of the plant. There's nothing we can do about it unless we get rid of it. ”

"In other words, can't you save these plants with scientific means?" asked Mu Kun busily.

"That's right, not only that, but it's more serious than this......"

The expert opened the small bag with his own hands and said in a deep voice: "Maybe you know a thing or two, the soil contains a lot of nutrients that plants need, such as nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium, calcium, iron, and so on. Even if it is lost for a while, it can be regained after periodic improvement treatment. But this, its internal structure is completely destroyed, or rather, it is...... Dead. Yes, it's dead!"

"Wow!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the bag of soil seemed to respond, and the mouth of the bag sank a little. It was white, dry, and devoid of any life, rustling to the ground with a strange whispering sound.

“……”

Everyone watched, and in an instant, it was piled up on the ground into a small white tower. Just like the vicissitudes of history that have been dried, the past that has been annihilated in the long river, with a gentle blow, it will disappear.

(There is also a ...... at night )
