Chapter 357: Back to Basics
The Taoist priest who led Xia Li did not pause, and walked directly forward, Xia Li beckoned Baolai, and the three immediately followed.
In a short time, the three and the three disappeared from everyone's eyes.
The man with glasses pointed to the few people who left in front of him and asked suspiciously, "Then they see that Dao Chief?" He heard it clearly just now, it was the Ming Zhen Dao Chief, and the Taoist priest in front of him said that he was also the Ming Zhen Dao Chief, what was going on.
Xia Li followed the Taoist priest and walked directly towards the back mountain, Xia Li knew that this Taoist temple was already on the top of the mountain, where could he go in the future.
Unexpectedly, there is a small boardwalk around the back mountain with a chain around the peak.
The Taoist priest led the way in front, Xia Li walked in front, and Baolai followed behind, holding on to the iron chain and slowly following.
After taking two steps, Bora couldn't help but look down at the mountain stream, and his legs trembled with fright.
The three were much bolder, and they followed carefully, leaning against the stone wall.
After sparing a circle, Xia Li saw a long plank road, which extended into the mountain.
The mountain is a recess, revealing a stone platform, and what comes into view is a small vegetable garden.
The garden was planted with some vegetables and a few tea trees and a peach tree.
Xia Li stepped forward and smelled it, these tea trees were good, but the Taoist priest smiled: "The tea trees without guests are good!"
Xia Li just smiled faintly, her tea tree was born, of course, it will contain a lot of aura.
The Taoist priest pointed to a small stone table and said, "The guests will sit down for a while, and the Ming Zhen Dao will come back after a while." ”
Xia Li just wanted to ask why the Taoist priest just now also said that he was the master of the Mingzhen Dao, but the Taoist priest left first.
Bao Lai also sat on the stone table, looking around, he had been to Master Wu's place, he had seen the tea tree, and after seeing it, he asked Xia Li: "Cousin, that is the tea tree!"
Xia Li nodded and said, "Yes, it's a tea tree, Baolai is so smart!"
Bora giggled, looked at the tea tree and asked a small peach tree, "Cousin, what kind of tree is that?"
Xia Li looked at it and said, "Peach tree." ”
Bora stared at the peach tree with bright eyes and asked, "When will the peach tree bear peaches, Bora wants to eat peaches!"
Xia Li also walked up to the peach tree and looked at it, this lesson peach tree seems to be different, the leaves are wide, much larger than the leaves of ordinary peach trees.
Xia Li thought about it, took out a bottle of blended spirit stone water from the space and poured it on it.
Bora stood next to him, watching the branches of the peach tree slowly stretch out, and then sprout, and the leaves slowly grow, growing larger and greener one by one.
Then the saplings gradually became thicker and taller, and they were full of pink peach blossoms, and when Bora was amazed at the beautiful peach blossoms, those peach blossoms gradually aged and fell.
Before Bora could be sad, small green fruits appeared on the fallen peach blossoms.
The fruit gradually grew and grew, and each one was the size of a small melon before it stopped growing.
Then one by one they began to turn white, and gradually turned into large pink and delicate peaches.
Bora's eyes were round and he pointed to the peach and shouted, "Peach!"
Xia Li counted them, and there were only eight peaches in total, so they quickly picked them all.
Then the leaves on the tree gradually wilted and fell, and then new teeth came out.
After three stubbles, the peach tree grew after three fruits, and the trunk was as thick as a thigh.
Bora on the side couldn't wait to rub a peach and eat it, and just took a bite and spit it out.
Xia Li asked suspiciously, "What's wrong?"
Baolai said with a bitter face: "Cousin, bitter!"
At this time, Jin Bao, who was in the space, said: "This peach tree is an ancient spiritual plant, and the fruit that bears fruit after thirty-eight years can only be eaten, you bury those sour peaches under its tree and let it absorb them." ”
After hearing this, Xia Li raised her eyebrows and looked at the peach tree in front of her, and looked at it curiously before calling Baolai to help her bury those beautiful but bitter peaches under the tree.
Then Xia Li began to urge again, and in this way, the spirit stone water that could be triggered more than a dozen times on other trees could only be triggered three times on this peach tree, and the dosage was getting bigger and bigger.
In the end, Xia Li finally stopped after prompting the peach tree to bear fruit more than a dozen times.
At this time, the peach tree had grown to a height of three or four meters, the trunk was as thick as a water tank, and the branches were full of countless peaches, each of which was bigger than a bowl, and each exuded aura.
Xia Li picked one and handed it to Baolai, but he saw Baolai shaking his head violently, he hadn't forgotten the bitter taste of the peach just now.
Xia Li smiled, wiped her bite and took a bite, and a sweet smell unique to peaches spread in her mouth.
Xia Li couldn't help but wipe it and eat it again, this peach water is delicious and delicious, it is really a rare spiritual fruit.
Xia Li ate a peach very quickly, and sat cross-legged on the spot to meditate.
Baolai also picked a peach curiously and took a bite, and he was so happy when he ate it, of course he didn't forget his little friends around him, and immediately picked three more for three.
The three of them have eaten spirit fruits since they were children, and they gnawed on them when they hugged them.
After eating one, Bora felt the heat surging all over his body, and he also learned Xia Li to sit down cross-legged and put the aura around him into action.
Xia Li meditated for two hours, the sky gradually darkened, and when she opened her eyes, she saw an old Taoist priest in a gray robe sitting on the stone table.
Xia Li was startled, and was horrified in her heart, when did this old Tao come, why didn't she notice it at all.
The Taoist priest felt Xia Li's gaze and turned his head to look at Xia Li curiously.
Xia Li also saw the appearance of the person who came clearly, this Taoist priest was thin and thin, but his eyes were clear and bright, with curiosity and innocence that should not be present at this age.
Xia Li suddenly thought of a word, return to the basics, is this what Jinbao said, when the cultivation reaches a certain level, it will return to the basics.
The Taoist priest pointed to the peaches on the tree and asked, "You made this?"
Xia Li nodded.
The Taoist priest shook his head and said, "No wonder it's been more than ten years, the peaches it bears are bitter and astringent, it turns out that the year has not arrived." ”
After speaking, the Taoist priest stepped forward, picked a peach, wiped it briefly, and ate it.
The old Taoist priest ate it again and said, "It tastes good, little girl, where are you from?"
Xia Li was taken aback, how could she think that this Taoist priest didn't seem to ask her which province she came from, she should have seen that she was not the original Xia Li.
The Taoist priest didn't wait for Xia Li to answer, but replied to himself: "No matter where you come from, we are always destined to meet it." ”
