Chapter 33: Spirituality, Root Carving
What a powerful aura!
Seeing the huge aura contained in the spiritual veins of this thousand-year-old ginkgo tree, Nie Yun couldn't help but tremble, and his face also showed a look of consternation.
Compared to the blue-purple aura in the spiritual veins of this thousand-year-old ginkgo tree, the cyan aura in his right eye is like a drop of water to the sea, not only can he not attract these blue-purple aura, but the aura in his right eye has faint signs of being attracted to the tree!
Nie Yun hurriedly gathered his mind and stabilized the aura in his right eye.
The cyan aura in his right eye, the biggest advantage is that it is controlled by his own mind, which is incomparable to the blue-purple aura in the thousand-year-old ginkgo tree, Nie Yun retracted his mind, and the cyan aura in his right eye immediately stabilized......
Millennial ginkgo tree, blue-purple aura.
Without thinking about it, Nie Yun knew that this blue-purple aura must be another aura that was at least one level higher than his own cyan aura, and with the aura content in his current spiritual wood pupil, it would be difficult to absorb it!
It seems that there is aura in the ancient pile, and there is no problem with his previous guess.
However, the aura in the ancient stump is not only determined by the age of the tree, but also by other factors. The seventy or eighty-year-old pine trees that Nie Yun saw along the way had only green aura, not a higher quality cyan. And Zhao Jianhong's fifty or sixty-year-old stump, although the tree is slightly younger, but it is green and aura.
I don't know, what are the factors that determine the quality of the aura in the tree, in addition to the age of the tree......
Nie Yun stared at this thousand-year-old ginkgo tree here, thinking about the aura, his body was motionless, and he looked a little stupid.
"The donor has never seen such a big ginkgo tree, right?" I don't know when, a middle-aged man in a middle-aged Taoist robe walked up to Nie Yun's side.
Hearing this voice, Nie Yun hurriedly came back to his senses and looked at the middle-aged man.
This middle-aged man is of medium stature, slightly fat, not a fairy wind Dao bone, except for a Taoist robe, he doesn't look like a Taoist priest at all, obviously, this is just a staff member in this floating cloud view.
In some places of interest, temples and Taoist temples, there will be some staff members, who are not strictly speaking monks and Taoists, but are responsible for doing miscellaneous work in temples and Taoist temples, selling incense, and introducing the landscape in temples and Taoist temples to some tourists. Even Shaolin sometimes recruits some college students and Buddhist enthusiasts to be "monks", responsible for these jobs, and outside of working hours, they drink wine and eat meat to soak women, all of which don't care.
However, although he knew that this middle-aged man was not a true Taoist, Nie Yun had to be slightly respectful in terms of face.
"Hello Dao Chief, I have long heard that there is the world's first ginkgo tree in Fuyun Mountain, and when I see it today, it really deserves its name!"
Nie Yun smiled slightly and said to the middle-aged man.
"Hehe, this ginkgo tree has a history of 3,500 years, it is the ancestor of ginkgo biloba in the world, not only is it the oldest in the ginkgo tree, but it is very rare in the entire plant kingdom to be so old!" The middle-aged humanist introduced to Nie Yun.
3,500 years of history?
Hearing this middle-aged man's introduction, Nie Yun couldn't help but gasp.
Although China claims to have a history of 5,000 years, there are no more than 3,500 years of historical data to be checked, and the ancestor of Taoism, Lao Tzu, and Confucius, the ancestor of Confucianism, only lived in an era of more than 2,500 years ago. This ginkgo tree is older than the age of these medieval sages......
"Such an old tree, it's all tree spirits, right?" Nie Yun's eyes narrowed slightly, and he sighed.
In some myths, trees and foxes have become spirits for thousands of years, and this ginkgo tree has a history of 3,500 years, and it is not an exaggeration to call it a tree spirit.
"Hehe, Cheng Jing doesn't dare to say, but this ginkgo tree has lived for more than 3,000 years, and it always has a little spiritual surname. The grass and trees have spirits, and besides, this ginkgo tree has been worshiped by the world all these years, and it must have been contaminated with a trace of spiritual surname......" The middle-aged Taoist priest smiled and said casually.
"Ling's surname?"
And when he heard this word, Nie Yun's heart moved.
In a stump, is the quality of the aura related to the spiritual surname of the stump?
Zhao Jianhong's osmanthus stump can be used as a bonsai, and the spirit surname is naturally better than ordinary tree stumps, so it has a cyan aura. And the pine trees I saw before were just ordinary trees, although they were older, but they lacked spiritual surnames, so the spiritual energy was still green.
And this thousand-year-old ginkgo tree, the age of the tree is longer, and it is known as the world's first ginkgo tree, the ancestor of ginkgo, worshiped by the world, the spiritual surname must be more sufficient, the aura contained in it, naturally more abundant, the quality is also several levels higher!
"Dao Chief, I don't know the surname of the tree spirit, how can I judge?" Although he knew that this middle-aged man should not be a true Taoist, Nie Yun still subconsciously asked him.
The middle-aged Taoist priest was stunned, but he didn't expect Nie Yun to ask this question.
However, the middle-aged Taoist priest still organized the language a little and replied: "The surname of the tree spirit is not easy to judge, you can only look at the feeling. However, in general, some odd-shaped stumps should have more spiritual surnames. This is like ginseng and He Shou Wu, the same age, the human-shaped ginseng He Shou Wu, that is, it has become a fine, and its value is much higher than that of ordinary shapes. ”
Look at the shape of the stump?
Nie Yun understands this.
In addition to ginseng and Polygonum multiflori, some other plants also have roots that grow into the shape of babies. In the eyes of the older generation, these plants with roots in the shape of these people can be regarded as a strange thing. Almost everywhere, there are some stories of human ginseng, He Shou Wu and other spirits. The most famous is the story of Zhang Guolao, one of the eight immortals, who became an immortal after eating humanoid ginseng.
In this way, the strange-shaped stump is really stronger than the ordinary stump spirit surname.
Zhao Jianhong's bonsai, the shape of the stump is naturally unusual, far more than those pine trees, so even if the age of the tree is shorter, the quality of the aura contained in it is also higher!
Thinking of this, Nie Yun was immediately relieved in his heart.
It seems that if you want to absorb the aura, you need to find not only those old tree stumps, but also some tree stumps with good tree shapes and root shapes.
The old piles go out of the deep mountains, and go to the deep mountains to find those strange old piles, which can not only absorb the aura, but also make these old piles into bonsai, which can be described as killing two birds with one stone!
"Thank you, Chief, for your confusion!"
Thinking of this, Nie Yun smiled and thanked the middle-aged Taoist priest.
Although I don't know if this middle-aged Taoist priest is a real Taoist priest, this middle-aged Taoist priest is at least a senior who has relieved his confusion, and he should be more respectful to him.
The aura in the thousand-year-old ginkgo tree, Nie Yun can't absorb it now, it is estimated that he needs to have more aura in his eyes, and even complete the qualitative change, and only after rising one or two levels can he absorb it.
Moving his gaze off the thousand-year-old ginkgo tree, Nie Yun found that in this yard, not only this ginkgo tree, but also some other ginkgo trees, some trunks were as thick as two or three people hugging each other.
"Dao Chief, these trees are ......," Nie Yun asked casually.
"Oh, these ginkgo trees, they are basically the descendants of the old ginkgo tree, they are born from the fruit of the old ginkgo tree, some of them are more than a thousand years old, and a few are three or five hundred years old." The middle-aged Taoist explained.
"Oh? Is it three or five hundred years? Nie Yun's heart moved, and he opened the Lingmu Pupil to these slightly smaller ginkgo trees.
And at the same time as opening the spirit wood pupil, Nie Yunqiu found that among these slightly smaller ginkgo trees, some of the spiritual energy contained in the spiritual veins was the cyan aura. His spiritual wood pupil opened, and these cyan spiritual qi immediately poured into his right eye!
In an instant, Nie Yun felt that the amount of cyan aura in his eyes had doubled.
This three-to-five-hundred-year-old ginkgo tree contains a cyan aura, which can be absorbed by itself. It's just that because these ginkgo trees are very ordinary, they have no aura, but they don't have enough spiritual surnames, so the aura provided is just similar to Zhao Jianhong's high-quality old pile.
Unexpectedly, this time, I did not absorb the aura of the thousand-year-old ginkgo tree, but absorbed the aura of its descendants.
It's a bonus, and it's worth it!
Roll your eyes and move on to the next plant!
However, in a moment, the cyan aura among the seven ginkgo trees had already been absorbed by Nie Yun.
At this time, the aura in Nie Yun's eyes was five or six times more abundant than before, and Nie Yun could clearly feel that the aura in his right eye was surrounding. The small speck of green plants in sight had completely turned cyan. These cyan aura, not only flowing in his eyes, but also flowing into his brain and various parts of his body, slowly nourishing his body.
Try to release the aura, these cyan auras can already be emitted about twenty centimeters outside the body.
The farther away the aura is, the more difficult it is to control, and it almost increases by geometric multiples. Therefore, even if the aura of Nie Yun's right eye increased by five or six times, the distance from the outside would only double.
Now this level of aura, I don't know if it is enough to guide the aura in a spiritual vein in the plant to operate...... This still needs Nie Yun to go home and experiment to know.
After absorbing these aura, Nie Yun let out a long sigh of relief.
In addition, there were three large ginkgo trees that surpassed the year before, and the aura contained in them was blue, and Nie Yun was not able to absorb them now.
These spiritual qi can only be absorbed after their own spiritual energy is more abundant in the future and qualitative changes occur.
After absorbing the aura, Nie Yun can be regarded as a matter of concern, and then he can have a good time with Tian Zhen in this Fuyun Mountain.
"Uncle Nie, look at it, it seems that there is a root carving seller over there!"
And at this time, Tian Zhen, who had been following Nie Yun, suddenly saw a light in his eyes, pointed to a small stall that was set up in the Taoist temple not far away, and said with a little excitement.
Nie Yun moved his gaze over, and sure enough, he found that there was a root carving stall over there, with dozens of root carving works of all sizes. These root carving works are relatively rough, barely can be regarded as handicrafts, the carving is basically the image of flowers, birds and animals, the surface of the root carving is smeared with a layer of red oil, showing a trace of simple atmosphere.
