Chapter 501: The Town Tomb Spirit Tree
"Alright then, whatever you want, let's go there and have a look." Seeing that Pu Zitong was obsessed with going to the so-called ghost tomb, Zhang Su finally agreed, he knew that there must be some purpose behind Pu Zitong's persistence, as for what the purpose was, he couldn't guess, so he could only follow and take a look.
After Zhang Su agreed, Pu Zitong smiled slightly, didn't say anything, and walked happily in front of Zhang Su, in the dense forest full of towering sycamores, jumping like a deer, sometimes circling around the sycamore that gave birth to strange branches, sometimes bending down to pick up the fallen leaves and branches on the ground, like an elf returning to the enchanted forest, his face was full of happiness and joy.
The forest of the sycamore is very large, I don't know if it is because the ancestors of Pu Zitong planted so much in the area, or later the seeds landed, the rhizome sprouts led to the proliferation of trees, so that the scale of the forest increased to such a point, in short, its area is almost equivalent to a small royal garden, at a glance can hardly see the end, entering it is really like entering a real forest, listening to the birdsong around, so that people who have lived in the city for a long time have a feeling of being close to nature.
The Sycamore Forest is full of sycamores, but compared with the sycamores in other places, the sycamore trees in the Sycamore Forest are obviously more vigorous, not only that, every sycamore tree here is divided into strange branches, some like hands, some like rakes, there are branches straight up, and then inexplicably bent down, hanging scattered yellow leaves, like the sharp teeth in the shark's mouth, looking at and appreciating, always giving people a strange and strange feeling, but also because of these strange and strange shapes, this sycamore jungle can attract many tourists to go happily, Entering it to take a selfie and draw it has become a place for some young people to play and hunt.
"I feel like the trees here are weird, or a little weird, is it because I had some kind of delusion after listening to what you said?" Looking at the happy and joyful Pu Zitong, Zhang Su strolled behind, raised his eyes and looked around at the tall trees and strange branches, and asked Pu Zitong puzzled.
"It's not an illusion, it's a problem with these trees." Pu Zitong shook his head when he heard Zhang Su's inquiry, and replied to Zhang Su while walking backwards.
"The problem with the tree? What do you mean? Aren't these just ordinary sycamores? Is there anything strange about it? After Pu Zitong answered, Zhang Su frowned and continued to ask.
"These are not ordinary sycamores, these are tomb spirit trees, they are special spirit trees used by soul masters to town houses, refining weapons, and setting up arrays, you are soul masters, it is normal to have that kind of weird feeling near it, don't suspect anything." Pu Zitong shook his head again and replied again.
"Lingmu? What is that? I have a 'Soul Tree' at home, which is cultivated by Blue Stripes and waiting to bear the Soul Fruit, I don't know if it is the same kind of thing as this town tomb Lingtong? After Zhang Su heard the word 'spirit wood', the first thing he thought of was the soul tree at home, and he asked again.
"Soul Wood? Oh......, I remember, it's the little sapling that just grew branches not long ago, well......, how to say it......, if you start with a big product
Classically speaking, the soul tree and this spirit tree are indeed similar, they are both spirit wood vegetation that has been handed down in the soul realm, but if you distinguish it from a small category, the soul wood should be counted as a soul tree, after being cultivated with soul power or soul medicine, it can bear fruit and be used for food or alchemy, of course, if you don't want to continue to cultivate the soul tree, you can also refine its branches into some treasure objects to exorcise ghosts, and carry it with you to exorcise ghosts, which is also good; In addition to having the various effects of soul wood, it also has a special feature that soul wood does not have, that is, it can absorb the soul of the ghost, purify the resentment of the soul ghost, and release the pure soul power from the original soul ghost, and re-turn into soul dust scattered between this heaven and earth, so the spirit wood is actually more valuable than the soul wood. Pu Zitong stopped next to a sycamore, and explained to Zhang Su while gently brushing the trunk of the sycamore with his hand.
"Can absorb and purify the souls of ghosts? Isn't this equivalent to the soul refining furnace in our soul hunting company? With that kind of furnace, why do you need to plant this kind of spiritual wood to transform your soul? Isn't that redundant? Zhang Su glanced at the sycamore that Pu Zitong was caressing, and showed a puzzled expression, puzzled.
"Too much? Let's not talk about when the soul refining furnace in the soul hunting company appeared, even if those soul refining furnaces can refine ghosts now, can they really be used forever? Those soul refining furnaces are not made of spirit wood like this, and they need to be continuously maintained by some special means to ensure that they continue to operate, these are all well-known things in the soul master's territory, you have been in the soul hunting company for a year, haven't you heard of this kind of thing? Seeing that Zhang was puzzled, Pu Zitong frowned and said.
"I see, it's the first time I've heard of it, it turns out that the soul refining furnace is also related to this kind of spiritual wood...... since these spiritual trees are very valuable, and they have grown into a dense forest, then why don't soul masters come to pick it, could it be that those people in the soul master realm don't know that the sycamore here is a spiritual wood and not an ordinary sycamore? Does everyone treat treasures like dung? After hearing Pu Zitong's words, Zhang Su pursed his lips, and then asked thoughtfully.
"How is it possible, if these sycamores have not gone through my ancestor's soul melting technique, if they have not been in this place to suppress the soul, then it is naturally a treasure that someone covets, but because of the thousand ghosts at that time, my ancestor brought all the seedlings of the spirit tung that had been accumulated in these families for decades to this place, and through the blessing of the soul melting technique, they destroyed their original spirituality, but gave them the power of soul suppression, and then they were all scattered, so that they could suppress their souls here for a hundred years, and finally there was no spirituality, Therefore, although you can vaguely detect some remnants among them, the spirituality of these spirit trees has long been lost, and it is difficult to use them much. Knowing Zhang's doubts, Pu Zitong shook his head and said with some emotion.
"After suppressing those ghosts, will the spirituality of these trees disappear? Became a regular sycamore wood? Zhang asked with a little curiosity.
"Well, this kind of spirit wood, once it is taken to the town house or town tomb, it needs to be released and used its own spirituality, the town house is good to say, if there is no large number of ghost erosion, the spirituality of this spirit wood can always exist, but if it is used in the town tomb, that is to say, it needs to continue to suppress the ghost, then its spirituality will always be damaged, once the spirit is completely lost, these spirit trees will be completely transformed into ordinary trees like the present world, and no longer have any effect." Pu Zitong continued to answer Zhang Su's doubts.
"That is to say, your ancestors planted these spirit trees according to the number of ghosts they suppressed, which is why they grew into such a large forest, right?" Zhang Su looked at the countless plane trees around him and asked in surprise.
"It's not so big, it's said that there were nearly a thousand ghosts that needed to be suppressed at that time, my ancestor planted four hundred and sixty-one Lingtong seedlings in this once barren area, and now look at it here, it is obviously far more than that, it should be that more than four hundred sycamores have branched out again, and only then did they give birth to such a large dense forest." Pu Zitong also glanced at the plane trees around him, squinted his eyes at the branches of some plane trees, and then shook his head and replied.
Pu Zitong's answer obviously confirmed Zhang Su's previous guess, Zhang Su originally thought that such a large sycamore forest could not be planted by a few soul masters, it should be after the passage of time, continuous derivation, and such a large area grew, but looking at such a large sycamore forest, Zhang Su had another guess in his heart, that is, whether there would be the so-called 'spirit wood' in Pu Zitong's mouth among the newly born sycamores, and if there was a spirit wood, how to distinguish it from Pu Zitong's sycamore wood.
"What do you think? Are you frightened by the ghost shape of the sycamore wood here? In fact, the shape of the Lingtong here is closely related to the ghosts and ghosts that were suppressed. Just when Zhang Su was stunned, Pu Zitong thought that Zhang Su was fascinated by the shape of Lingtong wood, and asked with a smile.
"You're saying the strange shape of these trees has something to do with suppressed ghosts?" Pu Zitong's voice relieved Zhang Su, squinted his eyes and asked curiously.
"Well, that's right, when using the cultivated Lingtong Miao Town Tomb, Lingtong Miao will absorb the resentment of the soul when purifying the soul of the ghost, and the resentment accumulates in the Lingtong seedling, which will affect the growth form of the Lingtong seedling, you can know what kind of resentment they have absorbed, and look at how distorted their form is, you can know how deep their resentment is. To suppress these ghosts who died in vain, it is necessary to dispel the resentment in their souls, in order to completely let their souls die, these spirit paulownia purified and dispersed those ghosts, but they lived quietly with resentment for a hundred years, which can be regarded as a great contribution to the world. After Zhang Su asked, Pu Zitong sighed deeply.
"It's good that they are not human, and they have lived with resentment for a hundred years, but they can only stay where they are quietly, which is definitely a very painful thing, right?" Zhang Su tried to think and ask from the perspective of the Lingtong wood in front of him
Question, a moment later, he also followed Pu Zitong with emotion.
"After melting the soul, their spirituality continues to disappear with the deepening of grievances, which can be regarded as a relief for them...... okay, let's not talk about them, what I want to take you to is the ghost tomb where thousands of ghosts are buried, there is still a distance from here, let's rush over, I still want to go there to find something, I just don't know if it's still there......" After Zhang Ji sighed, Pu Zitong cheered up again, dispersed the sad look on his face, and said happily again.
