Volume 3: The One Who Should Think Think Chapter 91: Exploration (2)

These stood on the shore, growing many branches like small snakes, which spread out like many tentacles and looked hideous and terrifying, there were many trees here, Baoyu counted carefully, there were about 12 in total, intertwined with each other, forming a huge canopy.

At the top of the trunk, many curved branches stretched out upwards and around like snakes and dragons, and the whole tree resembled a giant long-stemmed mushroom and a strange hand reaching out to the sky. There are a total of 12 giant trees here, and they are distributed very regularly, and the canopy is not simply intertwined, and the branches that touch each other are naturally intertwined, covered with dark green needles.

If you stand outside and look at this inconspicuous small basin, there is only a bush growing in the center of the basin, and you will not notice that the terrain there is lower, and the "bush" you see is the crown of giant trees more than ten feet high.

Because of the canopy of the trees and the surrounding woods, there is no sunlight in this magical world all year round, so how can the lotus flower in the water grow? There is light, a very soft light from the center in all directions, so bright and not dazzling at all, the light comes from the five glowing trees.

The slender tree is shaped like a beautiful coral, with a jade-like trunk and branches, and jade-like leaves. Some of the branches have five leaves and a flower in the center, but these trees do not have many flowers because they are almost full of fruit. The bead-shaped fruit the size of the thumb belly is also translucent, and the inside is faintly flowing with a five-colored luster, like the stamen of those lotus flowers.

Baoyu didn't know that this was the legendary Langyu tree, and he hadn't seen coral, so he didn't know how to describe them, but he thought that this tree was so beautiful, so beautiful that it was like a dream!

The Five-Colored Divine Lotus and the Langji Jade Tree, the legendary immortal elixir possessed by the Heavenly Emperor, actually appeared here at the same time! The Five-Colored Divine Lotus grew in several pieces of water in this small circle. There are only five Langji trees, and it is said that under normal circumstances, they cannot be called Qionglin. But all five trees are more than three feet tall, and the glow emanating from the trees illuminates this strange world.

Baoyu almost forgot to close it with her mouth open, and walked forward with Xiaotian. Xiao Tian's expression was a little triumphant, as if he had made a great discovery and could finally show off in front of Baoyu. Passing through the lotus pond and past a giant tree, Xiao Tian stopped and stretched out his paw to let Baoyu take a good look there.

Baoyu noticed marks on the bark, scratches from top to bottom at a rotating angle, apparently from the dog's paws. Dogs have nails, but they are not as sharp as those of tigers and leopards, and Xiao Tian's nails are now very powerful, and if they are deliberately cut with their strength, they can tear through the toughest hides.

However, there was only a shallow scratch on the bark, and if you looked closely, it was not because Xiaotian's claws were not strong, this scratch was left three days ago, just like a human wound, and the place where it was cut at the beginning has now "healed".

At the bottom edge of the scratch, there was a tear on the bark of the tree—a teardrop-shaped resin. If the resin oozing from the cut bark of the dragon's blood tree is not harvested, it will emit a strange fragrance in the sunlight, and gradually condense into a translucent red dragon tree blood. If before the strange fragrance is distributed, there is a master who harvests it with a special magical secret method, he can obtain a more precious and spiritually undamaged dragon's blood resin.

But in this strange little world, there is no sun and scorching sun, only the jade tree Qionghui, and the fragrance of the five-colored divine lotus is wafting around, so the dragon's blood resin condenses into something that cannot appear anywhere else - the dragon tree tears. What Baoyu saw was Nagarjuna's tear pearl, which not only retained all the spirituality of Nagarjuna's blood lipids, but also was equivalent to refining it through the most magical master's mana.

Of course, Baoyu didn't know this, he just curiously plucked the "tear" from the bark, took it and gently twisted it on his fingertips. This thing is light red, and the feel is a little soft and elastic, and it is in a semi-condensed state. When it twists between its fingers, it exudes a strange fragrance because of Baoyu's body temperature or because of the friction of the skin.

With Baoyu's current cultivation, he already has a sense that seems to be a natural part of his nature, and he can avoid some injuries that ordinary people can't detect. But this fragrance made him feel very comfortable, as if even the fatigue of running around had been washed away, and the energy around his body had become comfortable and smooth.

He took Nagarjuna's tear pearl to his other hand and reached out to sniff the fingertip of the finger. There is also a faint afterfragrance on the fingertips, but it seems to be able to moisten the skin, and then gradually dissipate in the blood. Although Baoyu didn't know this thing, he knew by his sense that it was a good thing! Xiao Tian was a little dissatisfied on the side, because Baoyu was a little distracted and didn't notice it.

The dog barked a few times to attract Baoyu's attention, and he made another gesture and rubbed his body against the tree like a tickle. Baoyu suddenly understood what Xiao Tian meant, it turned out that the last injury it suffered was healed here. Xiao Tian made a scratch on the bark with his paw, and then rubbed the oozing resin against the wound.

What a miraculous elixir this is, it can make the wound that originally took at least ten days to heal so quickly, if Baoyu is not careful enough, he can't even find out that Xiaotian is injured. This is really a treasure land, no wonder Xiao Tian wants to bring him to open his eyes.

A man and a dog walked towards the five glowing trees, all of which grew in the middle of the place. Surrounded by jade trees, there is also a small altar, made of white jade with a warm and pure color. The reason why Baoyu feels that this place looks like an altar is because there is also a bluestone altar in the center of Lu Village, and the shape looks similar. It's just that the altar here is much smaller, it is only more than a foot high and a square foot in circumference.

They had walked a long way, crossed treacherous mountains, saw beautiful landscapes, and finally reached their destination. Baoyu sat down by the altar to rest, still rubbing the tears of the dragon tree in her hands. The strange fragrance is not strong, it always radiates faintly, as if it naturally surrounds the body, dips into the skin, and washes the muscles and bones.

His stomach suddenly rumbled a few times, he hadn't eaten since yesterday afternoon, and when he sat down to rest comfortably after a long journey, his usual first reaction was to be hungry, but where to find food here?

Of course, Xiao Tian heard this movement and knew that Baoyu was hungry and that it was hungry itself. Before Baoyu could speak, he saw it jump out and jump into the nearby lotus pond with a pop. Baoyu was taken aback, but didn't have time to stop it.

This is not an ordinary plateau wetland, there are dragon blood treasure tree wings, Lang Yuqiong light, and the ancient Taihao Emperor laid down the magic circle to gather the vitality and aura between heaven and earth, and the lotus pond is the spring of eternal Qingqing. If you put a bottle of water here and break off an ordinary branch and insert it in the bottle, you can also make the branch alive.

The water in the lotus pond was not deep, and Xiao Tian could still poke his head out if he raised his head, but at this time he lowered his head and gouged in the soil under the lotus leaves and lotus flowers, and the waves swelled and muddied the water. Baoyu couldn't see what Xiao Tian was digging in the water, but only saw the lotus leaf and lotus trembling, which was very bad scenery.

These lotus leaves and lotus flowers give people the feeling of being so beautiful, they are simply beautiful to the extreme, and it is a pleasure to stand by the pool and look at it. And Xiaotian was good, and jumped directly into the water to plan, and Baoyu was about to call it up. Just heard a few clicks, Xiaotian had already jumped up by himself with something in his mouth.

It was a few white lotus roots, the rhizomes of lotus leaves, like bamboo whips buried under the soil. Then Xiaotian jumped into another lotus pond, but did not continue to dig at the bottom of the pond. Holding a three-section lotus root more than two feet long in its mouth, it shook its head vigorously, it turned out that it also knew that it had muddied the water over there just now, and then cleaned the lotus root in the clear water here.

Baoyu also noticed the situation in the lotus pond, where even the soil was very strange, and the fine soil in the muddy water spread out like clouds and smoke, and gradually sank to the bottom of the water, and the water was soon still clear. At this time, Xiao Tian had already taken the white tender lotus root in his mouth and stuffed it into Baoyu's hand, stood up straight and stuck out his tongue to look at Baoyu, meaning that this thing can be eaten, and the two of them can eat together.

The lotus root is dug out of the soil under the water of Xiaotian, a standard dog planing thing, just a simple shabu, but in the hand there is no trace of silt, clean and clean, it looks delicious. Baoyu even felt that this lotus root didn't need to be washed at all, as long as the water was clean, and he didn't know whether it was the cause of water or mud, or the characteristics of the lotus root itself, or both.

It seems that Xiao Tian is very familiar with the situation here, and since he has found all the food, he doesn't have to be polite, Baoyu broke off the lotus root and gave Xiao Tian half of it, and took the other half and nibbled on it. Since Baoyu has never seen a lotus, and of course has never seen a lotus root, she doesn't know that it's called a lotus root, and she doesn't know what the lotus root should taste, but she only feels that the rhizome in her hand is crisp and sweet.

Ordinary lotus root only eats the main stem part in the middle, and the details between the two lotus stems are inedible, and there is no taste and no bite. But Baoyu didn't know this, he ate all the parts, and it felt so delicious.

Ordinary food is crumbs after chewing, and when eaten, it is swallowed with a mixture of juice and saliva, and the same is true of ordinary lotus root. However, the lotus root here is different, there are nine orifices in the lotus root, and after it is broken, there are filaments connected to it, and it is put in the mouth and chewed until the end without leaving any residue, all of which turn into pure juice.
