Chapter 490: Twenty Years Younger
Chen Shangwu held the torn leaves, and felt the urge to smell them again.
But in his early years in the army, he learned restraint, and this thing felt a little abnormal, so he resisted this urge.
Finally, he looked at the dog next to him.
"I'll give it to you. ”
He threw the leaf to his flower dog, who swallowed it in one bite, and the others did not eat it, and surrounded him greedily.
"Lao Zhang," Chen Shangwu asked, "This forest belongs to yours, did you have this strange tree before?"
"Probably not," the old man named Lao Zhang replied with swallowing saliva, "When I was contracted to measure last time, I came in and saw it once, and I can definitely see such a conspicuous thing." ”
Chen Shangwu took a flashlight to shine on the ground, and found that the place where the root of the tree was actually new soil, and after careful identification, he could be sure that this tree had probably only grown tonight.
If he had been, he would have thought it was incredible.
But seeing these fast-growing vegetables on the farm, he is now a little surprised.
He looked at his flower dog, who had just eaten a leaf, and there was no adverse reaction for the time being.
"Brother Chen, look at the above. ”
Chen Shangwu shone his flashlight on the top of the tree and found that there were five or six fruits the size of a dragon's eye, which were also blood-red.
The strong light of the flashlight passed, like a transparent crimson agate.
That seductive appearance made several people swallow their saliva in unison.
"Brother Chen," an old man couldn't help but say, "Do you think this fruit can be eaten?"
Chen Shangwu glared at him angrily: "Do you dare to eat it for you?"
"Don't dare. ”
Chen Shangwu was unsure in his heart, this matter was still too weird, and he felt that it was better not to act rashly for the time being.
"Well, let's work hard tonight, don't sleep," he said, "I'll guard this tree, and you'll patrol it, and then I'll have the master come and see it tomorrow." ”
Chen Shangwu brought chairs and blankets, and guarded the woods with a few dogs.
The night was calm until the east turned white.
Chen Shangwu kept his eyes open all night, and he was already very sleepy at this time, but he suddenly discovered an incredible thing that made his strong sleepiness disappear in an instant.
This blood-red fragrant tree began to move on its own!
There was no wind and a couple of dogs didn't climb the tree, but it moved on its own!
At first, the leaves of the tree, like a mimosa that had been touched, slowly rolled into a stick, clinging to the branches, and then the branches began to close.
The whole tree looked like an upside-down broom, and those red fruits were also tightly wrapped in it.
And that's not the end of it.
When the first rays of heavenly light shone through the dense treetops and shone on the mangroves, it retracted into the dirt at breakneck speed!
Chen Shangwu was dumbfounded during the whole process, and when he came back to his senses, there was only a small black hole left on the ground.
What the hell is this weird thing?
"Brother Chen!"
When it was dark, several old men who were keeping vigil came together.
"What about the trees?"
"It's gone. Chen Shangwu returned in a daze, "It just now, it retracted into the ground." ”
Several old men looked at the hole in the ground in amazement, they had lived for more than a few years, and they had never encountered such a strange thing.
"Isn't this a youkai?"
"What nonsense?" Chen Shangwu said, "If it's a monster, can we still stand here properly?"
"That's true, but what if it's a good youkai?"
"Wait a minute!" Old Zhang looked at Chen Shangwu, and his eyes suddenly widened, as if he saw something incredible, "Look at Brother Chen, is he younger than yesterday?"
"Looks like yes, it looks like he's only in his sixties!"
Chen Shangwu: ...... Lao Tzu originally looked like he was only in his sixties!
was furious by a few people, Chen Shangwu touched his face, and found that his face was still full of wrinkled hands, and his heart relaxed a little.
If this is really rejuvenated, then it will not be seen as a monster?
At this time, someone couldn't help but ask: "You say, is this tree a treasure that is said to be able to rejuvenate itself?"
"If you have a treasure like that, you can probably sell it for a lot of money, right?"
"Silly you, if you have this kind of treasure, you must keep it for yourself and eat it!"
Chen Shangwu waved his hand: "Don't guess, first find some grass to cover this hole, and I'll go to the master to see it now." ”
A few old men got some weeds, and the old man who called Lao Zhang felt that it was a bit unsafe to only cover the weeds, so he went to get some dry branches to cover up.
Just as he was covering the branches, he suddenly found a red fruit in the weeds.
This made his heart beat wildly, and seeing that no one else was paying attention, he quickly picked up the fruit in his pocket, and then left with everyone as if nothing had happened.
After Chen Shangwu arranged today's vegetable picking task, he walked towards Wangzi Mountain as fast as he could, and several old men who kept vigil also went home to rest.
......
Lao Zhang was carrying a red fruit on his head, and his heart was up and down.
He felt that this fruit was definitely not an ordinary thing.
Think about it, can a tree that can retract itself into the soil produce ordinary fruit?
And yesterday he also smelled the smell of leaves, which already made him hungry, if this is a fruit, what kind of delicious way should it be?
If it weren't for the crowd last night, and it was too weird, he would definitely not be able to help it, and he would have tasted what it tasted like.
This tree grows in his family's mountain, and it is something that should belong to him, and it was picked up from the ground, so he doesn't have any psychological burden.
But he still didn't dare to eat it.
He decided to wait for the master to figure it out, and if it was really a good thing, then he would come and enjoy it slowly.
When he returned home, his wife Wu Xiuzhen had already made breakfast, he hurriedly ate a little, found a glass canned bottle, and after filling the red fruits, he fell asleep on the bed.
......
Wu Jun controls a flying needle, flying around the air with dexterity and speed, occasionally piercing through a mosquito that has survived the season.
Seeing that Chen Shangwu suddenly came, he put the needle away.
Looking at his panting appearance, Wu Jun couldn't help but wonder in his heart, could it be that something happened to the farm this early in the morning?
But Chen Shangwu has his phone, so if something happens, he won't climb up and tell him in person.
"What's wrong?"
"Master," Chen Shangwu said directly when he saw that there was no one else in the courtyard, "Last night, a strange thing happened in the woods of the farm. ”
"What's the matter?"
While Chen Shangwu was talking, Wu Jun also learned about the whole thing through his images.
A strange tree that grows at night and then retreats back into the ground at dawn?
This was a surprise to him.
"System, do we have such a tree on Earth?"
System: "Host, please note, I don't know about this. ”
Wu Jun couldn't help frowning, there are still things in this world that the system doesn't know?
The system continued: "You have placed more than 20 third-level feng shui stones on the farm, covering an area of thousands of acres, and such a large range of perfect force fields can theoretically give birth to heavenly and earthly treasures. ”
"You mean, I made it up?"
"Yes. ”
Wu Jun had a toothache, he didn't expect that Feng Shui Stone could also make such a big thing, and the treasures of heaven and earth were all out.
"And what the hell is this tree, and what's the use?"
"Because it is a new species, the system can only analyze the efficacy after the host has to examine it for themselves. ”
Well, Wu Jun didn't hesitate, rode a battery car, and rushed to the farm with Chen Shangwu.
Looking at the black hole, he poked a twig and found that he couldn't reach the end.
The Heavenly Master's energy is scattered!
Buzz –
Fifty meters underground, he could only see a hole straight down, and there was no trace of the tree at all.
He tried to throw a pebble down, but with his keen hearing, he didn't hear the sound of the pebble falling.
Hidden so deeply?
But it's normal, it's a treasure.
Even the roots of the Heavenly Master's vegetables can penetrate dozens or hundreds of meters underground, and he can accept the Heavenly Treasures as deep as a thousand meters.
"Please note that strictly speaking, Heavenly Master Vegetables are also a kind of heavenly and earthly treasures, but they are heavenly treasures that can be mass-produced. ”
"You know, you give all the good things, it's all right?"
System: "The host should say that the things of the Heavenly Master are all good things." ”
didn't have time to talk nonsense with the system, Wu Jun asked Chen Shangwu to hurry home and rest.
It seemed that the tree would not appear until night, but to be on the safe side, he decided to keep it there.
Chen Shangwu helped him move a chair, and then hurriedly went back to sleep.
After he left, Wu Jun continued to cultivate his flying needle.
Today, the sun is good, the temperature is rising, and there are a lot of mosquitoes in the woods, which are just used as live targets.
......
Lao Zhang woke up, and it was only past two o'clock in the afternoon.
A crisp voice asked, "Get up, do you want to eat?"
"Let's eat together later," Lao Zhang poured himself a glass of water and drank it, and then asked the girl sitting in the yard knitting sweaters, "When did you come back, where is your mother?"
Who knew that his daughter frowned: "My mother, you are sleepy, my mother died a few years ago." ”
Lao Zhang almost squirted out a mouthful of water.
He rubbed his eyes and looked at the woman in her forties sitting in the courtyard.
That's right, it's indeed his daughter!
Had he slept for a few years?
While he was asleep, his wife was already dead?
This made him feel confused and asked, "...... Girl, how long have I slept this night?"
His daughter frowned again, looking at him like a monster.
"Lao Zhang, is your brain flat?"
Lao Zhang?
Lao Zhang suddenly woke up.
Although this person looks like his daughter, it is still a little different, and his daughter should be prettier.
And the clothes, pants, and shoes she was wearing were obviously his wife's.
He squinted at the corner of her eye, where there was a small scar.
That's right, this is his wife!
But why did she suddenly look so much younger?
Is it the fruit?
Thinking of this, he rushed into the kitchen, opened the cupboard and saw that the can and bottle were empty, and the red fruit was gone.
He rushed out again, grabbed his wife by the shoulder, and asked, "Did you eat that fruit?"
"What are you doing?" Lao Zhang's wife slapped his hand away, "You light, the bones are broken!"
"Tell me, did you eat that fruit?"
"What's the matter, a broken fruit, and it's not very tasty. Lao Zhang's wife swallowed her saliva as she spoke.
"When did you eat it?"
"What happened at lunchtime?"
"Have you noticed that there is any difference?"
Lao Zhang's wife frowned: "What does it feel, I just want to sleep, so I slept for a while." ”
Lao Zhang looked at his wife, who was ten or twenty years younger, and his heart was pounding.
That tree is really not an ordinary thing, it is a sacred tree that can rejuvenate and rejuvenate!
And in just one or two hours, she turned a sixty-year-old woman into a woman in her forties!
This is even more magical than Taishang Laojun's elixir!
If she takes one more, will she be able to turn back into her twenties?
As soon as he thought of this, Lao Zhang trembled with excitement.
"I said what kind of illness did you have today," Lao Zhang's wife asked impatiently, "God is chattering, did you stay up late?"
Lao Zhang didn't have time to explain to her, so he rushed back and got a mirror and put it in front of him.
"Take a look!"
Lao Zhang's wife looked in the mirror and her eyes widened in disbelief.
I saw that her original sallow and wrinkled face has now become smooth and smooth, her skin is much ruddy, full of qi and blood, and the wrinkles are only left on her forehead and the corners of her eyes.
The hair seems to have grown a few centimeters, and the section near the scalp is jet black and shiny, and there is no trace of white in sight.
She looked left and right in the mirror, and finally asked, "Is this really me?"
