Chapter Eighty-Four: The Root of the Disease

"That's right! Right! That's it! After the shock, the old man Shangguan rushed forward with a look of surprise and lay down in front of the glass cabinet, so excited that he was incoherent, "That's what it looks like!" That's what it looks like! Ha Lu Ha, healed! Sure enough, it was cured! ”

"I'm rubbing! Is this called cured? I knew that it was so simple, so I would have to perform an 'operation' on this huā! Seeing that the old man was so excited, Shangguan Feng on the side was suddenly depressed, what is the situation? The huā petals are about to fall off, but the old man is still so happy? Aren't you confused? But judging from the old man's words and deeds, he is very sober again!

Although Shangguan Feng is known as the future master of psychology in the field of Chinese psychology, his outstanding points are only reflected in psychology, and as for other aspects, he is sometimes outrageously dull.

After the excitement, the old man straightened up, and it was only then that he found that his happy forehead was full of sweat, and immediately said gratefully: "Happy, thank you for your hard work!" Grandpa really doesn't know how to thank you! ”

He smiled happily and waved his hand and said, "No need, it's just a gesture." However, grandpa, I have always had a question I want to ask, and I don't know how you ......."

The old man Shangguan asked, "What's the problem?" ”

"The nine-leaf longevity chrysanthemum is a chrysanthemum huā variety unique to our Huaxia, but after the battle of the Tang Dynasty, it stands to reason that this nine-leaf longevity chrysanthemum should have been extinct. Happy asked suspiciously.

Old Man Shangguan smiled and nodded: "Four years ago, an old friend of mine went to investigate the excavated Tang Dynasty Tomb, and when he came back, he brought me a bag of seeds, and he said that the entire Tang Dynasty Tomb had already been stolen by tomb robbers. There are only a few packets of seeds left! But the strange thing is that after thousands of years, these packets of seeds are still fresh and there is no sign of decay, which is really amazing! ”

Shangguan Feng on the side suddenly widened his eyes. looked at the nine-leaf immortal chrysanthemum in front of him, and looked like he was hell: "I'll rub it!" Dare to love, this thing is still a funeral object! ”

The old man Shangguan glared at Shangguan Feng, motioned for the other party to shut his mouth, and continued: "He knows that I like to grow vegetables at home in the past few years. Raising huā grass, he gave me one of the packets of seeds. At that time, he told me quite mysteriously that, according to his research, this package of seeds may be the seeds of the legendary extinct nine-leaf immortal chrysanthemum! ”

"Actually, for this nine-leaf immortal chrysanthemum, even my old friend who is an old scholar in the archaeological field doesn't know much, it's just that this nine-leaf immortal chrysanthemum is related to the legendary elixir" is far less detailed than Happy Zhilu Dao," the old man Shangguan glanced at happily with an approving face, "but this also aroused my interest." Anyway, idle is idle, so I planted this bag of seeds. ”

But three months later, the seeds didn't react at all. Half a year later. Just as I was about to give up, I suddenly noticed that a thin eyelet appeared on the soil where I had sprinkled the seeds of the chrysanthemum. Old Man Shangguan's face showed a look of reminiscence, "At first, I thought it was just a weed, and I didn't bother to pay attention to it, anyway, I didn't have much hope for that longevity chrysanthemum." I let it grow at will. ”

And as the days went by, the eyes grew and grew. Only then did I realize that this might be the legendary nine-leaf immortal chrysanthemum! At this time, it has been half a year since the sprouts first appeared. Thinking of the scene at that time, the old man Shangguan still felt a little lucky, "If I hadn't been lazy at the time, I'm afraid that this only immortal chrysanthemum would have been uprooted by me as a weed, remembering my decision at that time." I'm so glad I did! ”

"Then I started taking care of it, a year later. It finally produced small buds, smaller than a grain of rice, but it thrilled me, and I still remember the situation. At that time, I was as happy as a child, and ran around the whole glass house several times, almost making Amin think that I was crazy and wanted to call the police. The old man said with a smile on his face.

…,

Thinking of the situation at that time, Ming Bo on the side showed a look of embarrassment: "I haven't seen the chief so excited for a long time, and the reaction was really big at that time!" ”

"Huh." smiled happily, he could understand the old man's feelings at the time, after all, when a person who loves huā sees that he has actually raised a chrysanthemum huā that has become extinct, the excitement is definitely a feeling of leaping to the top, which will make people HIGH to the extreme.

"Half a year later, the nine-leaf longevity chrysanthemum opened, and the nine crimson huā petals surrounded the huā rui in the center of the city, as if nine big red girls were dancing hand in hand, very beautiful! At the same time, the faint huā fragrance it releases is intoxicating. The old man said.

"After that, I took care of it more diligently, and one day three months later, when I went into the greenhouse to water the chrysanthemum, I found that at some point, the nine pieces of tender green on its body actually fell off."

The old man's face still flashed with a trace of pain: "At that time, I thought that it was because there were too many plants around me and snatched away the nutrients belonging to the longevity chrysanthemum, which caused it to lose its leaves for no reason. ”

Happy heart, he immediately asked, "What about the fallen leaf?" ”

The old man said: "I naturally picked up that leaf, after all, this is also the leaf that fell from the nine-leaf longevity chrysanthemum, I took it back to the study, made a specimen, and then gave it to my friend in the archaeological field." ”

"I see!" Happy nodded with a sudden realization on his face, and saw that the cause of the malnutrition of the Nine Leaves Immortal Chrysanthemum was found!

Seeing this happy appearance, Shangguan Feng on the side immediately asked, "What's wrong?" Happy, what questions do you hear again? ”

Hearing Shangguan Feng's words, the old man immediately looked happy, and his face showed a hint of inquiry.

smiled happily, nodded and said, "It's nothing, it's just that I found the reason for the illness of the Nine Leaf Immortal Chrysanthemum." ”

When the old man heard this, he immediately asked eagerly, "What is the reason?" ”

He smiled happily and pointed at the old man Shangguan: "It's just that the old man, you are too nervous about this immortal chrysanthemum!" ”

"Huh?" The old man blinked, not knowing why.

Shangguan Feng and Ming Bo on the side also looked happy with inexplicable expressions, and the former scratched his forehead. He asked, "Brother, what do you mean by that?" Why can't I understand? Why do you say that it was because grandpa was too nervous that Changsheng Ju caused it to get sick? ”

The old man's eyes showed a hint of thought, and before he could explain happily, a glimmer of light flashed in his eyes, and a look of understanding appeared on his face: "Is it because of ...... What about the blades? ”

Smiled happily and nodded. He stretched out his hand and stroked the nine-leaf longevity chrysanthemum in the glass cabinet, the pale red huā flowers swayed slightly under the happy caressing, like a little girl who was coquettish in her father's arms, and said happily and softly: "I said it before." This nine-leaf longevity chrysanthemum will undergo nine transformations in its life, and each transformation will fade off a piece and turn into nutrients for oneself to absorb, until all nine pieces are faded, this nine-leaf longevity chrysanthemum can be regarded as a complete merit. This is so because when the leaves of the chrysanthemum rot. It will produce a mysterious substance, which contains the nutrients necessary for the growth of the longevity chrysanthemum, and once it fails to absorb this nutrients, the nine-leaf longevity chrysanthemum will have symptoms of nutritional deficiency, and it will dry up and die after reaching the peak. ”

"I see!" Shangguan Feng clapped his palms and said. "After a long time, it turns out that this child is not sick, but hungry!"

"......" Happy and the old man rolled their eyes together, after knowing the preciousness of the nine-leaf immortal chrysanthemum, they would use the disdainful word "this goods" to describe it, and it is estimated that there is only Shangguan Feng!

…,

Listened to the happy explanation to stop nausea. Old Man Shangguan sighed tastefully: "It seems that the ancients are really right!" There is no intention to plant huāhuā, and there is no intention to plant willows and willows! Because of my blind concern, I almost let this nine-leaf immortal chrysanthemum die. Ay! At that time, then this nine-leaf longevity chrysanthemum may really be extinct! ”

"How so?" Shangguan Feng said on the side: "Isn't there still a few packs of your old friend!" ”

Old Man Shangguan shook his head: "Those packets of seeds were sent to the laboratory for scientific research after the most sluggard, and the scientific researchers also took out some of the seeds for cultivation, but they never succeeded in cultivating, and then they sealed the other part of the seeds. ”

Shangguan Feng concluded: "So. This guy in front of us is the most reluctant nine-leaf immortal chrysanthemum in this world? ”

The old man nodded: "Yes! ”

Shangguan Feng blurted out: "I'll wipe it!" How much is it worth! ”

As soon as this sentence came out. Suddenly, the old man glared: "You little rabbit cub, you fell into the eyes of money, didn't you?!" ”

Seeing that the old man was angry, Shangguan Feng immediately waved his hand and explained: "I didn't mean that, in fact, I just wanted to sigh at the preciousness of this nine-leaf immortal chrysanthemum." Tongue! Hey, slip of the tongue! ”

But the old man was obviously unwilling to let Shangguan Feng go so easily, he snorted lightly and said: "I've heard before, it's not good for you to stay in school and study, go outside all day long to give lectures, do outpatient clinics, and charge indiscriminately!" Where did you learn all this nonsense? Are you so short of money? ”

Faced with the old man's accusation, Shangguan Feng suddenly became arrogant: "This is what my sister-in-law said!" She said that you can't study by studying, you must link theory with practice! I'm doing what my sister-in-law says! ”

"Uh......" When he heard that it was his little daughter's instructions, the old man pursed his lips and immediately extinguished the fire.

Seeing that the old man was speechless, Shangguan Feng immediately smiled, and Ha Luha knew that as long as the sister-in-law was moved out, the old man would be out of line!

"I heard that you also make a lot of money doing lectures?" The old man said suddenly.

Shangguan Feng grinned, smiled, and said modestly: "Not much, not much, just to support the family." ”

But although he said so, the smugness on his face obviously betrayed his mind.

"Can you feed your family? Not bad! Not bad! When the old man heard this, he immediately praised: "Then you will pay for the family's food expenses from now on!" You're too old, it's time to take on family responsibilities! ”

"Karma! Rattle? Shangguan Feng suddenly let out a sound that was worse than the cries of a male duck, and his face showed a look that was even more ugly than bitterness.

Nima ...... What a cheat!
