"Master, how do you know that I want the branches of the ancient tea tree." Li Ming said in surprise.

The host smiled and said, "The old monk is 102 years old, and I don't know what else is going on in this world." ”

Unexpectedly, the host was so old, Li Ming sighed and said, "Master, you look like you're only sixty years old." ”

"We believers have our own Buddhist wishes to protect us." The old monk said with a smile.

Li Ming sighed in his heart that this old monk was far beyond the ordinary, giving people a feeling of understanding the truth of the world.

Li Ming said: "Master, if the ancient tea tree is the treasure of this temple, I don't want it." ”

"The Buddha said: Everyone has already arranged what they see and encounter, everything is fate, fate arises and dies, fate gathers and disperses, everything is providence.

The simplicity and indifference of your body complement the ancient tea tree, and the ancient tea tree is handed over to you, and the old monk is no longer worried. The host said with a smile.

Li Ming asked in surprise, "Is there something wrong with the ancient tea tree?" ”

The old monk nodded, and said with compassion on his face: "Last year's fire, the thousand-year-old tea tree was destroyed, leaving only these eight branches, although we and other monks tried their best to save, but the eight branches are still withering day by day, even if the donor does not take it away, these eight branches of the ancient tea tree, can not survive this winter." ”

Hearing the old monk's words, Li Ming nodded and said, "Okay, then I might as well be respectful." ”

Li Ming knew that only he was the only one in this world who could save these eight ancient tea tree branches, so Li Ming no longer shirked.

The first time he met such a monk, Li Ming also had the heart to ask for some confusion that had been accumulated in his heart for a long time, and after the host entered the meditation room, Li Ming said the questions one by one.

What Li Ming didn't expect was that he stayed in Jinlong Temple for two whole days, and it wasn't until the morning two days later that Li Ming said goodbye to the old host.

Not for anything else, just because every time Li Ming talks to the old host, his heart becomes very calm, which makes his integration with the ancient tree more and more rapid.

In fact, Li Ming was very anxious in his heart, through his understanding of the ancient tree in the past few months, Li Ming knew that the nine leaves of the ancient tree could produce up to eighty-one drops of spiritual liquid every day.

However, since he obtained the clone of the ancient tree, the ancient tree only produces eighteen drops of spiritual fluid every day, and the upgrade speed is too slow.

Li Ming originally thought that at the beginning, a jade worth 600,000 yuan could make the ancient tree's spiritual liquid change from nine drops to eighteen drops, which can be said to have doubled its strength.

Then buying 10 million jade by yourself can definitely increase the strength of the ancient tree tenfold, and Li Ming even guessed that the ancient tree might break through this bottleneck and reach another height.

But the actual situation was that the hundred pieces of jade that he absorbed only increased the spiritual liquid produced by the ancient tree clone from eighteen drops to fifty-four drops every day.

Li Ming then understood that the more the ancient tree was upgraded, the more difficult it became, and looking at the thirty-five million in his pocket, Li Ming felt that even if he spent all the money, it would probably be difficult for the ancient tree to reach eighty-one drops.

Even the first bottleneck of the ancient tree's upgrade has not been reached, and the ancient tree now does not even have the ability to support the green defense barrier, and if a lightning bolt strikes over, won't he be dead.

It has been eight months since he obtained the ancient tree clone, and in the past eight months, Li Ming has been terrified every day.

Every time there is thunder and rain in the sky, Li Ming thinks that the thunder is coming to split himself, but unfortunately there is a lot of rain this year, and it rains twice in three days, and Li Ming is almost tossed out of neurology because of this matter.

This is also the reason why Li Ming's character is so jumpy, as a person who may die at any time, who the cares about other people's opinions, of course, how he lives comfortably, how he came.

Now that he has been dismissed by the old host, although Li Ming has not yet reached the height of looking down on life and death, his mood has calmed down a lot, at least Li Ming can integrate with the ancient tree more quickly.

Although he didn't know what the consequences would be after his soul was completely fused with the ancient tree, Li Ming had a feeling that he would know a lot of secrets about the ancient tree when the time came.

Early in the morning, in front of the old monk's meditation room in the backyard, Li Ming bowed to the old monk with his hands folded and said goodbye.

Looking at the old monk standing on the bluestone steps, bathed in the morning light, Li Ming promised to say: "Next spring, if the tea tree can produce tea, I will definitely send it to the master to taste." ”

The old monk had a kind face, folded his hands, bowed and said, "Donor walk slowly." ”

Li Ming nodded, and then with the help of two monks, Li Ming walked out of the gate of the temple with eight branches of the ancient tea tree, opened the trunk of the car, and put the tea tree in the car.

……

As a well-known real estate developer in Hetian County, Zhu Guangyong has always hoped that he could get the eight ancient tea trees of Jinlong Temple.

Zhu Guangyong is preparing to develop a new real estate, the name is ready, it will be called Tea Tree Villa, as long as the eight branches of the ancient tea tree are planted in the open space in the middle of the real estate, Zhu Guangyong knows that the price of the house can be doubled immediately.

Therefore, during this time, Zhu Guangyong always came to Jinlong Temple to ask the host for the branches of the eight ancient tea trees, but Zhu Guangyong was depressed and found that no matter how he persuaded him, the host of the Jinlong Temple just disagreed.

Early in the morning, Zhu Guangyong came to the gate of the temple again, and just as Zhu Guangyong was about to enter the temple again to persuade the host to sell the tea tree to him, Zhu Guangyong was surprised to find that the man who came out of the temple in front of him was holding the branch of the ancient tea tree in his hand.

Zhu Guangyong was suddenly excited, hurriedly came to Li Ming, and said with a smile: "This gentleman, what you are holding in your hand is not a branch of the ancient tea tree." ”

Li Minggang closed the trunk and saw that the person in front of him was the businessman who asked the host for the branch of the ancient tea tree the day before yesterday, and said with a smile: "Yes, this is indeed the branch of the ancient tea tree." ”

"Oh my God, brother, how did you get the branches of the ancient tea tree?" Zhu Guangyong said in disbelief.

"The host gave it to me." Li Ming said lightly.

Hearing Li Ming's words, Zhu Guangyong was very happy, patted his thigh and said, "Great, this friend, can you sell me the branches, I will pay 50,000 yuan, what do you think." ”

Li Ming was speechless, when he talked about the price with the old monk, he still paid 100,000 yuan, and when he got to himself, he cut it in half and turned it into 50,000.

Li Ming smiled and said, "I'm sorry, I don't sell it." ”

As he spoke, Li Ming prepared to drive away.

"Don't mind, this friend, we have something to discuss, is the price low, in this way, you make an offer, I'll see if I can accept it." As he spoke, Zhu Guangyong blocked Li Ming's way.
