204. Millennial cypress

"Ahh A scream pierced the silence of the early morning and woke Jiang Yiming from his sleep. He looked at the window, the sun hadn't come out yet, and the sky was still a dull gray hue before dawn.

He thought, what are you doing, whoever is screaming early in the morning. It sounds like it's coming from this house, it's either Chen Xi or Xie Wan'er.

The door was coaxed open, and a pink figure ran in and shouted, "Yiming, I've awakened my superpowers." You see I can make a screw float up now, you can take a look. ”

Jiang Yiming rubbed his sleepy eyes, glanced at them casually, and then nodded and said, "Well, you have really awakened your superpowers, congratulations." Now I'm going to go back to sleep. ”

Then he lay down on the bed again, even if Chen Xi shook his shoulder. It took another two hours of sleep before he really woke up.

While waiting for the toaster to bake bread, Jiang Yiming was browsing the news on the tablet and happened to see a news item "The thousand-year-old tree is dying, and the park is not well managed? 》。

There is a rare cypress tree in the People's Park, which has lived for more than 1,200 years without dying, but recently some citizens found that all the leaves have fallen off, leaving only bare branches and hollow trunks.

It is common for a tree to have a hollow trunk after a long life, but the absence of leaves generally means that the tree is dead and alive and not far from death. The People's Park Management said it was already asking experts to save the thousand-year-old cypress, but the results were slow.

Jiang Yiming thought in his heart: thousand-year-old cypress? It seems to be very rare, and it seems that I have time to go and see it today, but I have to go to the Super Mutual Aid Association to have a meeting first, and handle Chen Xi's application for membership.

Driving to the People's Park, he found the thousand-year-old cypress tree, and sure enough, he saw that there was not a trace of green leaves on the dry branches, and it looked like a dead tree that had been dead for a long time. For dead trees, forestry experts certainly can't save them. The management that was written in the news was rescuing Yunyun, and it was obvious that it was a delaying ploy.

Although many people on the Internet feel sorry for this thousand-year-old cypress tree, the truth is that few people are willing to come and see the dead tree. In order to commemorate the tree that has lived for twelve centuries and the salary of the day, people have made a pragmatic choice.

In the past, when this thousand-year-old cypress tree was alive, it was not only protected by a fence, but also guarded by special personnel to prevent tourists from coming into close contact with the ancient tree and preventing malicious injury. But for the dead trees, the guards had already withdrawn.

Jiang Yiming stretched out his hand and climbed over the guardrail more than a meter high on the marble stump, and came to the thousand-year-old cypress tree. The cypress tree was so thick that two people couldn't hold it together, and the hollows in the trunk were covered with moss, and even mushrooms had grown.

He hadn't noticed it when he had been far away just now, but now he was next to the cypress tree, and he noticed a trace of vitality at the junction of the trunk and the root, as faint as a match flame in the wind. Don't be windy, just wait a few days and it will be completely extinguished.

"I'm glad I saw the news, otherwise you'd be dead." Jiang Yiming was not talking to the air, but to the thousand-year-old cypress.

Although its vitality is as weak as a matchfire, the mind of a five- or six-year-old child still remains, and after seeing Jiang Yiming, he kept calling for help. The sorrowful cry for help fluctuated, and people couldn't help but feel sympathy in their hearts.

Jiang Yiming looked left and right, and after confirming that there was no one, he put his right hand on the bark, and a small force of nature started from the heart of nature in his chest and flowed into the trunk of the cypress tree.

The energy equivalent of a level 1 druid skill was poured into the thousand-year-old cypress, and he paused for a moment to observe the changes in the cypress after receiving this foreign help.

Jiang Yiming, who had half-closed eyes, used his super sensitive sensing ability to the vitality of trees to find that the vitality of the cypress tree had changed from a match flame to a candle flame, although it had improved a lot, it was still half dead, and it was still far from being completely free from the call of Hades.

"The thousand-year-old tree is different, other trees have received so much energy, they can't skyrocket fifteen or sixteen meters, and their waist circumference will increase three times."

Jiang Yiming continued to input the power of nature, but this cypress tree's appetite was like a bottomless pit that had been absorbing the energy of five level 1 druid skills, and it was the tree he had ever spent the most energy on a single tree.

When he was in the Botanical Garden, he only needed to input a little bit of the energy of a level 1 druid skill to make a tree grow four or five meters taller and increase the body of the tree by one circle. In comparison, this thousand-year-old cypress tree is twenty times more powerful than its counterpart?

Jiang Yiming himself was taken aback, although this tree had lived for more than a thousand years, it was not twenty meters higher than other trees, and it had actually absorbed so much energy. In order to prevent the creation of something uncontrollable, he cut off the energy channel to the cypress.

Even though he stopped the input of natural forces, the thousand-year-old cypress tree still changed dramatically, rejuvenated from its near-death state, and its appearance changed dramatically.

It turned out that there was not a single green leaf on the branch, and the starry shoots appeared, which quickly expanded and stretched into normal leaves in a fast-motion manner.

Jiang Yiming, who was standing under the tree, felt the light darken, and when he looked up, he found that he was shrouded in the shadow of dense cypress leaves, and he couldn't see the sun at all.

After communicating with the cypress tree's thinking this time, he found that it was full of life, and it really came to life, not just as simple as a leaf growing on the outside: "You have survived, and it is not in vain that I have spent so much natural power." ”

"Thank you Immortal Elder for saving your life, Xiaobai can't repay it, if you have anything to ask me to do, just ask."

The thousand-year-old cypress tree speaks with an ancient style, and it is estimated that the way of speaking of ancient people learned from when it was conscious cannot be changed: "But now I feel strong and can't vent, and the tall person who has not grown tall for five hundred years is about to start growing again, and please stay away." ”

"You can't move a tree, what can you do? Not at all. Jiang Yiming retreated ten meters away, out of the shadow shrouded in cypress, but still heard it say, "Farther and farther."

He thought about it again, he simply walked farther, in case the People's Park Management Office saw the change in the cypress tree, it was very likely that someone would have to come and check it.

He walked more than thirty meters away and stepped onto a pebble path, looking like a tourist who had just walked from afar.

"Hey, you see this thousand-year-old cypress tree has come to life!"

"The current news is really made up, and the thousand-year-old cypress tree is said to be dry and dying, deliberately attracting attention."

People's Park is an old park, and although it can't compare to the new parks in terms of size and equipment, the elderly citizens in the neighborhood still like to come here to rest. At this time, a couple with half-white hair came from behind Jiang Yiming.

"Something is wrong, old man. I remember the last time I looked at this tree, it only had green leaves on three branches. It's weird that new sprouts are coming out all over my body now. The old woman wondered.

"Well, we're just here watching, and by the way, I'm going to take a picture with my phone." The old man of about sixty years old is quite trendy, and he took out his mobile phone from his pocket and took a picture of the thousand-year-old cypress.

At this time, the cypress tree moved, and the trunk of the tree, which was already seventeen or eighteen meters high, began to grow, and the momentum was like a bud breaking through the ground: if it did not break out of the ground, it would die.

Based on the height of the protective shelf next to the cypress tree, Jiang Yiming saw the scene of its crazy growth. Its height ranged from 20 meters, 25 meters, 30 meters until it tripled to almost 60 meters high.
