Chapter Seventy-Nine: The Seed I
The morning sun is rising, and the air is exceptionally clear, without the slightest bit of fog, which is undoubtedly extremely rare for Linglong Mountain. Large areas of green trees stretch along the mountain, and occasionally a few houses and small pavilions can be seen, which sets off a touch of popularity.
The path into the mountain winds its way up to the mountainside, where a small protruding platform sits a temple with an ancient atmosphere. The temple is no different from the general temple structure, except that in the middle of the temple, you can see from a distance, a towering tree that is about to die stands, like a big umbrella, covering most of the entire temple area.
Outside the gray-white wall, the wood-clad iron gate is open, and tourists come in and out, and some tourists are taking pictures together in the small pavilion on the side. The red pillars in front of the temple are still full of lines of handwriting, most of which are nonsense such as what *** visited here.
Among the tourists who came and went, one of them was a boy who was no more than seventeen or eighteen years old, followed by a beautiful woman dressed in fashion.
"You must not miss Linglong Temple when you come here, it is said that the sign in the temple is really spiritual." The beautiful woman who followed behind said with a smile.
The boy nodded slightly, looked through the gate, and saw that in the yard, the huge dead tree caught his eye.
"That's what he's talking about?"
"Just talking about the neighborhood." The woman replied.
"Let's go around first."
"Yes. But what are you looking for? The question is also indistinct. The woman wondered.
"Nothing, just a sudden desire to come and see." Lin Fei said with a smile on his face.
"You're a liar!" The woman was speechless in her heart.
Lin Fei first entered the courtyard, circled around the big tree, and seemed to find nothing, and then focused his attention on the incense burner placed on the side.
Wisps of smoke emanated from the incense burner, and a pleasant aroma could be smelled in the surrounding air.
After turning aimlessly around the courtyard, Lin Fei walked into the main hall.
Although the barcode and production date can be seen on the edge of the futon on the ground, this point of keeping pace with the times still cannot wash away the solemnity and simplicity in the main hall.
Lin Fei took out a fifty sheet and threw it into the donation box. The little monk standing on the side bowed his head slightly.
"Little master, can I ask you a few questions?" Lin Fei asked with a smile.
"What's wrong with the donor?" The little monk's face was calm, "No matter which allusion is here, I can answer it for you." "Obviously this isn't the first time he's had this kind of problem.
"That's good. I want to ask how old is this tree in your yard? Lin Fei pointed to the dead tree in the courtyard.
"I heard from the host that when he came here, the tree was here. We don't know exactly how long. The little monk replied with a sincere face.
"That's right." Lin Fei nodded, his gaze falling on the ancient tree.
The huge tree trunk occupies most of the entire courtyard, and it is estimated that a dozen people can hug it in a circle. The yellowish-black roots protruded from the ground, and the stone slabs of the entire courtyard were also unevenly arched. Some of the branches of the tree clinged to the temple wall upwards until the top of the wall did not extend outward.
Ever since he entered this courtyard, Lin Fei had always felt a strange emotion. It's as if something heavy is there.
"Are there any strange rumors about this tree?" He asked again.
"Strange rumors?"
The little monk thought for a while, "That's not true, but this tree has been half-dead like this for more than ten years." ”
"More than ten years?" Lin Fei's eyes narrowed slightly. His gaze fell on the tree and did not move for a long time.
When the little monk saw Lin Fei fascinated, he continued to stand back by the donation box and introduce other tourists.
"What's strange about this, isn't it normal for such a big tree to be a little more tenacious?" Xiao Ling on the side said disapprovingly.
"yes, nothing strange." Lin Fei nodded in agreement. But having said that, he always felt that something was wrong.
At this time, a gentle mother entered the main hall with a cute little girl. In the lingering aroma, the mother pulled the little girl to kneel on the futon, closed her eyes and prayed, but the little girl was a little idle, and her little head looked left and right.
"Mom, why is half of this tree greener?" The little girl's immature voice was like a bolt of lightning that instantly pierced Lin Fei's heart.
"By the way, the upper left part of the big tree should be greener, as if all the life force does not come from the roots, but from the trunk on the left." Lin Fei instantly understood why he had that awkward feeling that something was wrong after entering the temple.
He smiled softly at the little girl, and walked out of the hall, regardless of Xiaoling and the girl's mother and son on the side, they all looked inexplicable.
After a few circles around the tree, Lin Fei's eyes gradually turned blue. His gaze went from bottom to top, and finally along the trunk of the tree to a nodule on the left side of the tree, but it was only for a moment, and Lin Fei immediately shifted his gaze. The blue in his eyes slowly faded, and he circled around the tree as if nothing had happened.
Xiao Ling walked over and asked in a low voice, "Did you find anything?" ”
Lin Fei shook his head: "I seem to have discovered something just now, but now I can't feel it." Forget it, that's all for today, go back. ”
"That's it." Xiao Ling took out another wooden skeg, "I'll draw one on it." ”
"What are you asking for?" Lin Fei asked casually.
"It's a career." Xiao Ling's face was happy.
"What career do you want as a girl?" Lin Fei said disapprovingly, "Let's go." He shook his head and turned and walked towards the temple exit.
**************
At the top of Linglong Mountain, a brown-haired foreigner with a large travel bag sits on a large rock, facing the sun.
"Ahh What a big egg yolk!! He exclaimed loudly at the rising sun.
"Corey, you're using the wrong adjective." The black-haired man on the side had a pained expression on his face.
The brown-haired foreigner pointed to the sun suspiciously, "Isn't that like egg yolk?" ”
"Like," the brunette man was interrupted before he could finish his sentence.
"That's right." The foreigner turned his head away with a look of intoxication.
"Me!!" The brunette wanted to get angry, but he couldn't find what expression to use.
"Corey." He took a deep breath, "You know, we're not chasing here to see your damn yolks!" ”
"Of course, I know." Corey didn't reply.
"What do you know? Tell me about it? ”
"I like Huaguo, yesterday's braised fish was so delicious~~~~" Corey looked back impatiently, "Crewe, you talk a lot, can you be quiet!" ”
"I'm quiet your mother!!" The brunette man finally broke out. A slap in the face.
Two minutes later
A dark-haired man dragged a brown-haired foreigner with a grief-filled face down from the top of the mountain.
"Crewe Andrew Ruru"
"Don't scream! Teaming up with you is the biggest shame of my life!! The brunette man didn't look back.
"If it weren't for my tracking skills, you would have been able to find this place?" Corey snorted, "I'll tell you Crewe! You call it a typical person with a new person and forget the old person!! Negative man!! Chen Shimei!! I'll hold a grudge!! I will!! ”
"I !!!" Crewe wanted to cry without tears, looking at the ambiguous expressions of the tourists around him, he almost didn't cry.
"Big brother!! Uncle!! If you are not good at Chinese, don't mess with idioms, okay? I beg you~~~~"
"As a foreign Chinese, I doubt how you have come over for so many years, and you don't even use my native language as well, oh, by the way, it's here! It seems like! Corey stopped suddenly. He looked at a temple halfway up the hill opposite. "It's right there. The vengeful aura of the Fire Serpent card is there. ”
"Looks like we've finally arrived at our destination." Crewe finally breathed a sigh of relief. Not having to endure Corey's devastation anymore is undoubtedly an absolute relief for him. "Now let's do what we want to do. Although anyone who kills the card holder will be tainted with the traces of the dying person's power stored in the card. But it was so easy to find an opponent so smoothly. Corey, I'll hide later. He said it in French.
"No problem." Corey said in French as well.
***********
Lin Fei stood outside the temple wall, walking alone along the wall, and the closer he got to the branch to the left of the tree, the strange mood became more apparent. The pouch with the sword ring hung right behind his back.
The sunlight is divided into chunks by dense branches. The nodules on the branch were like a huge bubble, as if piercing it, and you could see the extremely heavy stuff inside. Lin Fei could clearly feel that the True Power Core that he had made a chain hanging from his chest was rapidly becoming hot. It's as if something unknown is happening in the true power inside.
The surroundings are deserted, and this is already the side of the temple, and there are basically no tourists coming. Lin Fei slowly took out the long sword, and the sharp blade of the ring was like a pool of clear water in the sun, constantly rippling with a cold luster.
"Whew!" With a soft sound, the nodule above Lin Fei's head instantly broke through a gap, and a small green thing fell directly from it. Lin Fei caught it decisively, but an extremely strong burning sensation immediately came from the palm of his hand, as if he was catching a high-temperature flame.
Almost reflexively, Lin Fei directly threw away the things in his hand. But then his neck hurt, and the hanging True Power Core also flew out, tearing off the connected chain. A green shadow and a crystalline diamond-shaped crystal collided directly.
"Hiss" a circle of spherical transparent shimmer instantly propped up. Lin Fei involuntarily took a few steps back. A little dark red light was directly shocked out of his body, and the light dissipated silently in the air. He didn't notice it, just stared at the transparent sphere with a solemn gaze.
A green seed in the center of the sphere and the core of the Zeniken were tightly glued together, and both sides seemed to be slowly infiltrating each other. It seems to be merging into one at a rapid pace.
Fortunately, the sound of the sphere was not loud and did not provoke other tourists.
Lin Fei nervously looked at the sphere hanging in mid-air, the true power core in it had not been completely absorbed, if there was any accident now, then the true power cycle would not be formed, which was related to the cultivation in the future. I can't help but be nervous. Luckily, the fusion of the seed and core is fast. It looks like it can be done in just a few minutes.
*********
At the gate of the temple, a brown-haired foreigner and a black-haired man stood side by side in front of the door.
"That's it?" The brunette asked.
"No, why did it suddenly disappear? The aura of momentum seems to have suddenly disappeared. Corey wondered. It was still there just now. ”
"Anyway, that's the place for the big picture, right?" Crewe asked.
"Yes, right here."
"That's easy, just go in and find it. You hide outside the temple, and I'll go in. "Krudao.
"No problem, I'll remember his breath if I find a target." Corey gave a thumbs up, showing a mouthful of white teeth. "Trust me!"
"Believe you fart!" Crewe said speechlessly and walked directly into the temple.
