Chapter 240: The Edelweiss Tree and the White Snake
The elders of the trapeze clan relished: This is the Lu blue pine, look, its fruit bowl is big! And here, this is called green birch, this is called purple oak, this is bauhinia, that is green sandalwood, here is fragrant fruit wood, that is the poisonous tree dove tree, behold, here is a large piece of white sandalwood, there is sandalwood, oh, the most beautiful is this golden sandalwood, you see, the trunk of the tree like gold, the leaves like jasper, its flowers are more beautiful, like a fan, pink, the fruit is like a gourd, white as snow. So beautiful!
Liu Yiyi and his party were moving forward, and suddenly the roar of a leopard was heard. Liu Yiyi had already seen the figure of a leopard flying through the jungle ahead. As he was walking, Xin Ruofei suddenly shouted: White bear! White bear! It's a white bear!
Everybody saw it. A white bear leisurely walked through the jungle, swaying its fat body away. At this moment, the sound of a wolf howling came. Just as Liu Yiyi and the others were walking in the center of the forest, Liu Yiyi noticed a group of white wolves in front of them. Zhao Shiyan reminded everyone softly: White wolf pack! Stay safe!
It's okay, it's okay! The Flying Clan Elder said in a loud voice: As long as we don't pose a threat to them, the white wolf won't attack us. Look, in front of you is a money tree, which is a precious fruit tree. The Flying Elder continued: The trunk of the Money Tree is rust-colored, the leaves are red, and its fruit is the size of a wheel, like a large round baked cake. The outer shell of the fruit is black, the flesh is white, and the pit is green. When the pit dries up, it turns red agate. The flesh is sweet and fragrant, the nuts are delicious and have a walnut flavor.
Liu Yiyi walked for a long time before coming to a valley. A spring flows out of the valley, and the spring pools in a low-lying area. The waterhole is not deep, about two or three meters, and the water is crystal clear.
Wow! Zhao Shiyan suddenly exclaimed: Captain, come on, the bottom of this pool has become a kaleidoscope!
Liu Yiyi, Qian Yifan, Xin Ruofei and Li Zhuangzhuang all surrounded the past. Liu Yiyi saw that there were countless beautiful colored stones at the bottom of the pool, colorful and shining, as if the gems of the world were gathered here. The waterhole is about less than three hundred meters in circumference, and Liu Yiyi has taken a visual look.
Xin Ruofei suddenly said to Li Zhuangzhuang: Li Zhuangzhuang, go down and get a few pieces for me!
At this time, the Flying Man Clan Elder immediately stopped him and said: Absolutely not! Because these beautiful colored stones are the nails of the gods! It's going to anger the gods!
New Ruofei, don't mess around! Liu Yiyi immediately criticized Xin Ruofei: maintain the ecology, respect the customs, and follow the customs!
I see that everyone is tired, so let's rest here and bury the pot to cook! The Flying Clan Elder suggests: The water here is pure!
So, everyone rested and chatted while cooking by the waterhole. Liu Yiyi looked around, and the valley here was a low-lying basin. The spring pool is right in the middle. Liu Yiyi thought strangely, the spring water kept flowing into the pool, why was the pool water overflowing? Liu Yiyi looked at the compass and set the direction. She found that the golden wood was on the left, the golden sandalwood tree was on the right, and the paulownia tree was behind her. In front of it is a forest with white potted flowers.
What kind of flowers are those? Liu Yiyi asked the Flying Clan Elder very respectfully: The flowers are like snow, like huge snowballs.
The Flying Clan Elder smiled and said, "That's the Edelweiss Tree." The wood is soft, like cotton wool, but its bark is solid and comparable to steel. Therefore, there is no fear of strong winds. The trunk of the edelweiss tree is dark gray, and the wood can be used as food, like bread, with a bit of bitter gourd flavor. It is difficult for the average person to swallow. But the medicinal value of the edelweiss tree is extremely high. Its skin can be bone-grafted, strong-boned, and raw-boned. Wood has the effect of detoxification, clearing heat and cooling blood. Its flowers are both vegetables and herbs. It can stop bleeding, relieve heat, clear heat, detoxify, and has a sweet taste. However, edelweiss trees are difficult to cut down because of their iron-like bark. And the Edelweiss tree grows very slowly, and the trunk with a thick bowl mouth can take 200 years. You see, the thickest people with the trunk can't be surrounded, maybe hundreds of thousands or hundreds of thousands of years. What's even stranger is that the sap of the edelweiss tree is as red as blood. Therefore, it is also called the blood tree. And because of the long life of this tree, it is also called an immortal tree.
So amazing? Xin Ruofei hurriedly said: I want to plant one, right in the courtyard.
No way! The elder immediately said, "The edelweiss tree blooms every year, but it does not bear fruit every year, but once in a hundred years." Its fruit resembles a doll, and it is born to the right and is never alone.
Right? Doesn't it grow two fruits? Zhao Shiyan asked with interest: Isn't this the ginseng fruit!
But it's not ginseng fruit. The elder said, "The fruit of the year is not to be eaten, it is poisonous." You don't know it yet, the flowers of the edelweiss tree have two calyxes, which is to say a peanut with two fruits. And the fruit takes a hundred years to ripen. The skin of the fruit is white, the flesh is red, sweet as honey, fragrant as osmanthus, and as big as a watermelon. Its seeds are very small, like sesame seeds. It's black. After eating, let's go check it out. Maybe we're just connected to the edelweiss tree!
After the meal, Xin Ruofei couldn't wait to run to the edelweiss tree. Li Zhuangzhuang was afraid that something would happen, so he hurriedly followed. Before Li Zhuangzhuang could catch up, Xin Ruofei, who ran to the edelweiss forest first, couldn't help but scream. Hearing Xin Ruofei's exclamation of despair, Liu Yiyi hurried over. Qian Yifan and Zhao Shiyan also immediately followed. When they arrived in the woods, everyone couldn't help but be stunned. Liu Yiyi saw that the trunk of the edelweiss tree was wrapped with countless white snakes, large and small, some were two or three meters long, with red eyes and fire-like tongues, they were playing. The smallest snake is also twenty or thirty centimeters long. Liu Yiyi also saw that a layer of black tree seeds had fallen on the ground, which should be the seeds of the doll fruit. Liu Yiyi understood at this moment that the white snakes were waiting to devour the doll fruit.
The Flying Clan Elder was also surprised, and he said: We are really fated to meet the ripening of the Edelweiss tree fruit. But the White Snake is smarter than us, and can't wait for us. Look, as soon as the fruit is ripe, the white snake picks and eats it. Let's go, we don't have anything to eat.
Chase them away! Li Zhuangzhuang hurriedly suggested: We are rare to meet!
Do you know how many white snakes there are in this Silver Wolf Peak? Do you dare? The elder immediately stopped him: "The White Snake eats the tree fruit because he is extremely hungry. If we provoke it, we will not escape the siege of the White Snake. Let's go, let's pass under the trees!
In this way, everyone quickly walked through the forest area with regrets. After the wooded area, you will enter the center of the canyon. At this moment, a curling mist suddenly rose in the mountain, like blue cooking smoke, wafting in the forest and rocks. Liu Yiyi felt that she had entered the holy land of fairyland. There are no tall trees, only low shrubs and wild grasses and wildflowers. Not far away, in the mist, a city appeared. At the entrance to the city gate is a tall castle tower. The castle tower is very high, with more than a dozen floors. It's a castle. The gates of the city were guarded by guards. Standing halfway up the mountain, Liu Yiyi looked up and saw that the whole castle was oval-shaped. The castle stretches along the valley. The castle is surrounded by tall and wide walls.
