Chapter 35: Infinite Possibilities
The wild peach tree stands in front of the Demon King's Palace, with lush branches and fruits, like a miracle.
On the east bank of the stream is the main body of the Demon King's Palace, where there is one of the largest wooden houses, and it is also where Liu Dalu usually rests.
This wooden house is about 30 meters long, about 20 meters wide, about 10 meters high, and only a few columns in the middle are supported.
Around the wooden house, some smaller wooden houses were originally built to live in the beginning, and later these wooden houses were demolished, because the people of Tiejiabao believed that the demon king was very noble, and no one dared to live around the demon king.
After the wooden house was demolished, the Tiejiabao people made a square-like place around it, all paved with wooden planks, where everyone usually had dinners, and children also liked to play here, stepping on the smooth wood with bare feet, running around.
On the west bank of the stream, there are also some wooden houses, these wooden houses are almost all of the same size, neatly built along the stream, so far, there are more than 40 wooden houses, these wooden houses are the usual resting and sleeping places of the Tiejiabao people.
Around the wooden house, the Tiejiabao people used wooden fences to fence off wild beasts, and reclaimed some places and planted some melons, fruits and vegetables.
This stream has also been transformed by the Tiejiapu people, the nearby river section has been dug deeper, the downstream position is blocked with large stones, so that it is much more convenient to get water, and a wooden bridge was built, this stream was originally nameless, the Tiejiabao people Qingxi Qingxi called for a while, and Qingxi became the name of this stream.
Wooden houses, clear streams, fences, fields, melons, fruits and vegetables, children's laughter, curling smoke, plus the location 20 miles deep into Daqing Mountain, this place can indeed be said to be a real paradise.
Although the Demon King's Palace is twenty miles away from the mountain, the people of Tiejiabao like it very much, once they get here, they don't want to go at all if they don't stay for three or four days, even if they go, they are reluctant.
Because life here is so good.
The people of Tiejiabao never thought that life in the wild could be so good, they used to go into the mountains to hunt, and after staying in the mountains for a few days, they were almost exhausted, maybe they would be covered with bruises, and they were afraid every day, for fear of being attacked by fierce beasts.
Now they don't have to worry about these at all, because the vicinity of the Demon King's Palace has become the territory of the Demon King, and the existence of the Demon King shocks the surrounding beasts.
Today, the demon king used another spell, this spell is different from the previous spell, it can instantly make a plant grow and bear fruit, the people of Tiejiabao don't understand what a spell is, but they can feel that the demon king seems to be getting more and more powerful.
Liu Dalu circled around the wild peach trees, and finally set his eyes on the fruits, these ripe peaches were all the size of a fist, the tips of the peaches were pink, and they were in excellent condition, compared with the good peaches grown by grafting and hybridization in modern times.
But this is just a wild peach tree, and it is impossible for a wild peach tree to grow peaches that sell such a good look, so Liu Dalu believes that these fruits should be the effect of the wild peach tree after breaking through the limit.
Zhao Tie Yong gestured, nodded at the peaches again, and Tie Yong asked, "Demon King, do you want us to pick peaches?" ”
Liu Dalu nodded, Tie Yong stood on tiptoe, picked a peach, and took it in his hand twice, "It's such a big peach, it smells so fragrant." ”
Liu Dalu signaled to him again, Tie Yong wiped the peaches on his body, wiped off the soft peach hairs, and carefully cut the peaches with a hunting knife, the peach flesh was white and delicate, and the peach juice was abundant.
Liu Dalu signaled again, and everyone knew the generosity of the demon king, so they were not very polite and ate this peach.
"It's delicious."
"I've never eaten such delicious peaches."
"Well, the peaches I grow are not as big as this one, and they don't have this taste."
It's a pity that Liu Dalu is not very sensitive to taste, so although everyone thinks it is delicious, he doesn't know if this kind of peach is as delicious as the peaches of later generations, but it shouldn't be bad.
But to be honest, Liu Dalu was a little disappointed in this, why was he disappointed, because what he wanted was not this, he spent 500 faith points to learn divine arts, and then 50 faith points to use divine arts, is it just to get some delicious peaches? He couldn't do that right now.
After a deep groan, Liu Dalu first asked everyone to pick all the peaches, and then asked everyone to take a few steps back, and once again used the magic technique on the wild peach tree: savage growth.
The magic is cast, and the wild peach tree grows crazy again, and when the magic effect is over, the wild peach tree is finalized.
The height of the wild peach tree after the two miracles has reached more than twelve meters, and the branches and leaves are like umbrella covers, covering the space around more than ten meters, and its height has become higher, but this time, the fruits have become fewer, adding up to less than ten peaches, and this time the peaches have changed back to their original appearance, small and very shriveled.
"I see." Liu Dalu looked at the changes in the wild peach tree, and he already understood a little.
There are so many possibilities for plants to push the limits.
Growing taller, having larger fruits, deeper roots, harder trunks, more resistant to pests, more resistant to the environment, and so on and so forth, can all be considered to have pushed the limits.
Complicated? It does feel a little bit, but if you look at it from another angle, it's not really complicated, because these actually represent a concept: better reproduction of the next generation.
From this, Liu Dalu came up with a synonym similar to breaking through the limit: evolution.
In order to better reproduce the next generation and not be eliminated by the environment, all creatures are constantly evolving, which is also the instinct of evolution, breaking through the limit is like this in Liu Dalu's view, so that the target can evolve and better adapt to the surrounding environment.
The first time you use the magic spell, the wild peach tree breaks through the limit, the more fruits you have, and the more fruits you have, the greater the chance of reproducing offspring, and then the second time you use the magic spell, there are fewer fruits, but the wild peach tree itself has become taller and stronger, and it can resist more natural damage, which is also to better reproduce the next generation.
And it is worth mentioning that the peach tree, a plant, is not tall, and it is generally the limit of seven or eight meters long, but this wild peach tree has grown to twelve meters.
Two magic spells, the wild peach tree broke through the limit twice, and the results were completely different, what does this mean, it represents the magic of magic: wild growth can make plants have infinite possibilities.
This is a very powerful, and also quite practical art.
