Lin Jinghua handed over to Zuo Lin almost all the original pictures, except for the coarsely edited dailies without audio tracks. Young leaves are pulled from the branches, bright green shoots break through the soil and bright flowers are left to dry...... When such a process is captured by slow-motion photography, it becomes a frame-by-frame picture, and it becomes a sequence of processes that can be watched at will at the appropriate speed according to one's own mind, and the shock is unparalleled. In particular, these plants are something that Zuo Lin is very familiar with.

The Druids were never strong enough to change the sequence of time and gain the ability to observe animals and plants by jumping one moment after another. Druids' observations are all based on their own abilities and insights. Got a projector in the room, Zuo Lin couldn't help but look at those photos over and over, holding the remote control in his hand and looking at them in reverse order, carefully observing every detail on the photos.

From the time he began to look at the materials carefully, he had decided to take on this thankless task. The documentary is so visually appealing that it doesn't even serve as a base for propaganda and research, and it seems that this type of documentary is rarely shown on TV channels. And the film made by these students of the Agricultural College and some friends who were brought in to help may end up being just a collection on everyone's DVD shelf, but even so, the beauty of this documentary and the details that move and vibrate still make Zuo Lin unable to say a word. What's more, whether it has anything to do with money or not, it doesn't make any difference to him. He may have been changed a lot by the city, but no matter how much he changed, this change would not make him a man who put economic interests above meaning.

Looking at the documentary repeatedly, measuring the length of each paragraph, considering the copy, and then writing it down paragraph by paragraph on paper with a pencil. Zuo Lin never used the scientific names of these plants, and in fact he didn't know the scientific names. The methods of categorizing genera and species in Latin and phylum did not work well for the druids, and were somewhat ridiculous. According to his own knowledge of these plants, combined with the performance of those pictures, he described what he knew in simple and clear language. To anyone else, Zuo Lin's descriptions of these plants are somewhat anthropomorphic, but they embody a sense of intimacy that comes from the heart. This kind of affectionate description is not something that can be achieved with any rhetorical device, but it does treat these plants as friends, as an indispensable part of life.

Zuo Lin's unusual enthusiasm for this unplanned thing that came to the door surprised everyone a little. After any other work for the day, he worked page by page in the club's dormitory with the projector on the projector and the lamp. The club has always turned a blind eye to Zuo Lin's non-compliance with the dormitory discipline, Zuo Lin is not a person who does not follow the rules, on the contrary, his self-discipline has unconsciously affected everyone after he joined the team. When Zuo Lin attaches so much importance to this work that he can't help but violate those regulations, it must be justified.

Then, as Zuo Lin gradually transcribed the scribbled drafts, the words began to spread among the people he could influence. Reading these words in conjunction with this hastily edited documentary is a pleasure. Compared to the articles that are piled up with flowery rhetoric, the manuscripts written by Zuo Lin are surprisingly simple, but they have an amazing magic: everyone can understand them.

The more than 40-minute documentary is only a few thousand words purely in terms of copywriting. However, perhaps because he couldn't hold back his own words and explanations, Zuo Lin handed over the first draft of the copy, which was 12,000 words. This is already the result of sacrificing a lot of details and letting Zuo Lin endure the pain of deleting many words, and those deleted parts, plus the relevant annotations made by Zuo Lin, add up to more than 40,000 words.

When Zuo Lin was a little embarrassed to hand over this copy to Lin Jinghua and let Lin Jinghua and his classmates revise it as appropriate, Lin Jinghua was overjoyed. With these words, it is possible to do more than just make a near-perfect narration track for the documentary, but also to publish a beautiful book, similar to a picture album. Lin Jinghua told Yu Pingzhang about this and handed Zuo Lin's manuscript to him. Yu Pingzhang happily joined the small editorial group and invited a botanist from the Chinese Academy of Sciences to annotate another version of Zuo Lin's manuscript in a relatively academic tone. Combining the style of Zuo Lin's manuscript, the choice of content, and the more catchy words that are popular today, the documentary and the album will share the same name - "The Private Life of Plants".

Lin Jinghua rushed to contact the recording studio and the film and television post-production studio that edited the documentary, and at the same time contacted the publishing house and other matters, and was very busy for a while. Zuo Lin was not idle during this time, he was constantly communicating with the designers who did the binding design for the album, imagining how to make such an album fully embody the dual values of aesthetics and education.

From Zuo Lin to Shanghai until now, these things may be the most serious thing he has devoted himself to. It is not the job of the druids to preach the mysteries of nature to the world, in fact, the druids do not care whether others understand nature, but in modern society, it is essential for people to understand how important it is to protect nature. For this kind of work, Zuo Lin can only devote all his strength.

When all the work came to an end, more than a month had passed. In this month, Zuo Lin didn't even realize that his team had won the league championship, and he was only waiting for the end of the entire league to have a grand celebration ceremony, and he didn't seem to realize that he had suddenly become the owner of a joint venture pharmaceutical company, and this company borrowed 800 million yuan from the bank to build a huge Tianxin Lotus planting base, and even Yan Yingxue was starting to learn the grammar system of the spell druid language after learning all the songs, so he was not too interested...... So, when all the work was done, he felt a little empty.

It happened that at this time, his "attendant" Jin Xiaohua had a problem.

Jin Xiaohua was a little worried, and one night in the car that sent Zuo Lin back to the club, Jin Xiaohua suddenly asked: "Zuo Lin, according to the method you said, how long will it take to be able to master the preliminary force of nature?"

"It's hard to say, if the progress of accumulating the power of nature is relatively fast, you can get started in a month or two. ”

"But why is it so difficult for me to even feel the power of nature now? sometimes it feels obvious, and sometimes it doesn't react at all?" Jin Xiaohua asked distressedly.

"Huh?" Zuo Lin was puzzled, "No, this meditation and breathing method I taught you is already the simplest, and there can't be a problem." ”

Jin Xiaohua sighed: "I work hard every day. Now I don't have to be in charge of Yan Lao's security work, and you and Xue Xue don't have much to do, almost all the other time I spent on cultivation, but I don't know why, the progress is very slow. If it weren't for cheering myself on every day and encouraging myself, I would almost not have been able to persevere. ”

"As for it?" Zuo Lin asked rhetorically, "what are you doing so desperately?"

Jin Xiaohua said resolutely: "Since I was a child, although it was not my intention to grow up in the training camp, I have always tried my best to do my best. Maybe I'm not the strongest in some places where I'm limited in talent and physical condition, but I know my limits in every aspect. It's the same to master a kind of ability, a kind of power, and there's something wrong with cultivating diligently?"

Zuo Lin thought for a moment and said, "I think I know where your problem is. Let Xue Xue finish her homework early tomorrow, and let's find a more remote place in the evening, I think I can solve your current problem, and I can also guide Xue Xue by the way. ”

Jin Xiaohua answered and didn't speak again. During this period of hard work, the progress of her cultivation was slow, which made her very frustrated. In the past, whether it was martial arts, shooting, driving, or other tasks related to knowledge and experience, she was able to achieve good results through continuous hard work. She wasn't particularly talented, but with her own efforts, she still became the best among her peers and those who received the same training. And now, she saw that Yan Yingxue was able to make very fast progress easily, and she almost didn't need to practice much, while herself, who spent half of her time cultivating, stopped moving, and it seemed that the efforts she had put in had no effect at all. She would not doubt the cultivation method that Zuo Lin gave her, nor would she be jealous of Yan Yingxue's outstanding talent, but she would be a little skeptical, doubting whether she really had the comprehension to cultivate in this area.

The next day, Zuo Lin wanted to answer Jin Xiaohua's questions, and finally there were two uninvited guests, one was Li Xu, who was now getting poorer and more bored in Shanghai, and was playing ps2 in his room all day, and the other was Yan Hokusai. Although Li Xu and Yan Hokusai hadn't seen each other a few times in that year, they mentioned their relationship with each other a little, and soon became good friends who talked almost everything. One is Sun Lao's little friend, and the other is Sun Lao's attendant, and the two of them have some understanding of the druid's cultivation system. Yan Hokusai couldn't practice, while Li Xu had his own cultivation method, which was incompatible with the force of nature system, but their curiosity about this system was still strong.

Being able to master the forces of nature means that a person is good, and all druids have adhered to this tradition since the existence of such a special group of druids. Although the Druids are a mysterious community, the doors of the Force of Nature are always open to anyone. Zuo Lin heard that Li Xu and Yan Hokusai were coming, although it was a little strange, he would not have any objections.

Tsubame Hokusai has a villa in Sheshan, and the private woods surrounding the villa are a very suitable venue for such a small mysterious gathering. After everyone sat down in a circle, Zuo Lin thought for a while and asked Li Xu the first question:

"Lao Li, what kind of state were you in when you were cultivating?"
