Chapter 189: Fruitless
After we left the black market, Shui Mo said, "Xiaobai, let's get a few pits and try to plant them outside the cave when the time comes?" β
I waved my hand, "Forget it, our three packets of seeds have been planted for so long, and the fart hasn't grown!" I think it's better to save some raw materials for the chicken head and let it make more good wine. β
Shui Mo said, "It doesn't necessarily make wine, but it also needs to plant trees, and I asked Si Feng about the seeds, and he said that some seeds can germinate overnight, and some will wait for a few years to break the ground." β
Xiao Chou listened carefully, and he seemed to be very interested in gardening.
I asked, "Xiao Chou, do you want to plant a watchman tree by our lake?" β
Xiao Chou nodded.
Zhuo Jing said, "I want it too!" β
Ink asked, "Do you want to plant it outside our cave, or in front of your own house?" β
"I'm going to plant it by Bai Yi's lake." Zhuo Jing glanced at Xiao Chou, "Planted with the little mute tree." β
After Xiao Chou heard this, he frowned, looking unwilling.
Shui Mo scolded angrily and said, "You don't have a home yourself? Running to someone's house to get rid of something! β
Zhuo Jing said, "A tree is too lonely, two trees grow together and have a companion, which means two by two, two by two." The more he spoke, the more excited he became, and he turned his head and asked Xiao Chou, "Little mute, when the time comes, my tree will be called Xiangshou, and your tree will be called gaze?" β
Xiao Chou shook his head decisively.
"Why? You don't like the name? Zhuo Jing said, "Or you can pick up the name." β
"Who is watching with you? Do you want to have a face? Shui Mo glanced at Zhuo Jing, "People don't like you, it has nothing to do with trees and names!" β
Zhuo Jing said as a matter of course, "It doesn't matter if you don't like me, it just so happens that I don't like him either, we have already reached a consensus on this, but the tree is innocent, we all like the tree." β
"Xiaobai is also innocent." Shui Mo said, "After all, it's not his home, nor is it his land, plant so many trees and wait for the immortal to come back and ask, are you carrying it?" β
"Planting one tree is also planting, planting two trees is also planting, why can't you plant one tree and not plant two? Have you ever thought that in the future, you can pull a hammock between two trees, and then Shangxian can lie in the hammock and bask in the sun by the lake while picking the fruits from the trees to eat. Zhuo Jing squinted, "Just thinking about it, I feel comfortable!" β
"Why don't you bear kid want to plant two trees for me outside the cave so that I can be comfortable?" Ink was dissatisfied, "The wings are stiff, and you desperately want to fly to someone else's house, right?" β
Zhuo Jing provoked, "yes, yes, how's it going?" You're going to break my wings? With that, he ran away in a state of smoke.
"You give me death!" Ink leaped forward and chased after him.
Xiao Chou and I reluctantly followed.
The size of this forest once again refreshed the original record in my mind. We ran from dark to dawn, with only a short break in between.
The "southernmost side" mentioned by the chicken head turned out to be the "most difficult side", and it seemed to be a place that could never be reached.
I feel that this forest is like another planet, it is as suitable for life as the earth. There were no boundaries other than the entrance, and I was starting to worry that if I ran this way, I would come back to square one.
Because it's round, like the earth.
"It's time to arrive! Isn't it there? You see, as the rooster said, there is only one tree with fruit there! Zhuo Jing dispelled my worries with a loud voice.
Before we could rejoice, everyone's faces sank instantly, how could there be only blue fruit left on the tree?
"Holy shit! Who is it? Bandits! O robbers! Ink shouted, "I actually brought our wine to the back warehouse!" Won't you have to drink it again? β
I walked around the watchman tree to make sure that there was not a single white fruit left, "It seems that the fruit picker also knows how useful the pits of the white fruit are, and I guess they brought it home and planted it while making wine." β
"Then leave a white one, don't let this lone seedling die!" Shui Mo said, "Did the chicken head offend his peers, this is obviously vicious business competition!" β
"My stay and gaze ......," Zhuo Jing lamented.
Xiao Chou also looked at the blue fruits on the tree with a little disappointment.
I said, "It's okay, if you want to plant a tree, let's ask Si Feng when we have any strange seeds." β
Xiao Chou looked at me, and then at the watchman's tree, still unwilling.
Zhuo Jing picked a blue fruit and took a bite, "It's delicious!" β
"You bear kid doesn't need to be comforted." Shui Mo glanced at Zhuo Jing with disgust, "You didn't feel sad for more than three seconds." β
"It's already like this anyway, are you sad that it will grow ginkgo again?" After Zhuo Jing took another bite, he immediately spit it out, he frowned, "What kind of smell, is this rotten?" β
I also picked one and tasted it, it was crispy and refreshing, sweet and a little winey, but there was a faint smell of blood, and the closer you got to the core, the stronger the smell of blood.
Just wanted to spit it out, Bai San said, "Delicious." β
In order to cater to Hakusan's taste, although I didn't swallow it in the end, I chewed it in my mouth for a long time.
"Alright, let's go." I said, "Go back and talk to the chicken head, and let it make other wines." β
Shui Mo said, "What are you going to go, you finally come here, and then go back empty-handed?" β
"Or else? Do you still want to carry a tree back? I said, "The two children are not making trouble, what are you doing here?" β
Shui Mo lit a cigarette unhurriedly, "Far hunting." Kids, are you interested? β
"Yes, yes!" Zhuo Jing was the first to respond.
"Seconded." White three ways.
Xiao Chou looked at me, and there was a hint of anticipation in his eyes.
Actually, since Ant-Man's long hunt, I haven't adjusted a little, and the hideous and terrifying face of Avgerle at the end will pop out of my mind from time to time. I want to take a long vacation more than to "start work" so soon, but everyone is so enthusiastic.
Ink pushed me, "What do you want, I'm waiting for you to make a statement!" β
I asked, "What's the other party's origin?" β
"Murderous corpses." Ink Painting.
Zhuo Jing stared at the ink with wide eyes, "Human?" β
Ink nodded.
Zhuo Jing resisted, "You want to take us to dig up people's ancestral graves?" This is too lacking in morality, not to go, not to go. β
"There is no ancestor and no offspring, no one is buried and no one is buried, there is no grave bag and no coffin, how can it be called an ancestral grave?" Ink Painting.
I asked, "Why are we digging up human graves this time?" β
Zhuo Jing agreed, "That's it! Ink, are you going to change careers and want to rob tombs? β
"The bear kid is half right." Shui Mo said, "There are indeed good things on the body of that murderous corpse. β
I scolded, "Neurotic! There are so many good things in this world, can you get them if you want them? That's not what we're supposed to do, the more we do! β
Shui Mo said, "What if that thing is needed by your family's Spirit King?" β
I was stunned for a moment, and looked at Xiao Chou, who looked at us arguing with a blank face, completely out of the way.
I can't help but wonder, what does Xiao Chou need, what does he need besides me as a carrier? And that thing was still on a murderous corpse.
We sat down in front of the watchman tree, eating blue fruits while listening to the ink talk about the origin of the murderous corpse.
Ink says that the murderous corpse was hanged on a tree before his death, thousands of years ago.
Suddenly, one day, the corpse disappeared inexplicably, and since then, no matter how ferocious and rare the beast is, it has not dared to come near the tree again.
At that time, there were many more birds and beasts in this forest than now, and some spiritualized evil spirits became more and more curious about the tree, and began to form groups of three or five to uproot the tree and find out. However, every time the evil spirits go there and do not return, there is no exception.
Since then, the story of the tree and the corpse has become more and more divine. Gradually, it became a place of evil that no one dared to approach. In the end, everyone's attitude towards this matter is, if you don't come out to harm us, we won't provoke you anymore.
Zhuo Jing asked, "Everyone is far away, why do we have to rush to send people's heads?" β
"Because they don't need what the hanged man has." Ink Painting.
"What's on that corpse?" I asked.
"Spirit Stone." Ink said, "A spirit stone that gathers the spiritual energy of tens of millions of resentful spirits." β
Bai San said, "If it is true, it is indeed what we need." β
Shui Mo continued, "Xiaobai, you should have a good idea of what your spiritual energy is, even if you rely on Yuanjiao to help you make up for the part you can't provide for the Spirit King, it's not a long-term solution. Actually, it's a miracle that you've made it this far, but we're still going to have to keep a backhand, aren't we? β
The concern of ink painting is also my constant concern, and I am also worried that the aura and spiritual power left by Xiao Fan will be exhausted one day.
I asked, "How can there be such a spirit stone on the corpse?" β
Ink squinted at me with a cigarette in his mouth, "Do you remember the first resentful spirit that integrated the evil ancestral soul?" If buddy is not wrong, his soul should have drifted on the hanged ghost first, so that corpse will become a murderous corpse. But the dead can't keep their souls, so the evil ancestors' souls left their bodies and later attached to the sΓ©ance. β
Zhuo Jing asked who the spirit was next to him, and Shui Mo said, "It's a legendary figure, I'll tell you a bedtime story when I go back." β
I asked, "Is your guess based?" β
"Nope." Shui Mo said, "But if you think about it, what kind of corpse does it have to be to make all the evil spirits retreat, go to one to fold one by one, and go to a group to fold a group?" There must be a part of the evil ancestor soul left on the body of the murderous corpse, and why hasn't the evil ancestor soul awakened for a long time, do you think she is waiting for you to get the immortal spirit rune and compete with you fairly? β
I asked, "You mean to say that the descent is because the soul of the Evil Ancestor is incomplete, so it has been delayed again and again?" β
"Is this possible? Moreover, if this matter is preempted by the sΓ©ance, let her take the spirit stone......" Shui Mo paused and continued, "Even if the immortal spirit realm has many immortal magic weapons, they don't have a spirit king who can turn phantoms into entities after all, you have it, but as far as the spirit king at this stage is concerned, it is more than enough for him to deal with the evil spirits and resentful spirits in the distant hunt, but let him go to the evil ancestral soul alone...... Xiaobai, without the help of the fairy world, do you have a chance of winning? β
I really don't, although I don't have the power of the evil ancestor soul that I have seen with my own eyes, but the fact that it can summon dead evil spirits is staggering in the first place. Even if Xiao Chou can quickly turn all the phantoms into entities, just a few of us, I think we know that we will definitely not have time to take care of so many opponents at that time.
Dealing with the evil ancestor soul is already beyond the scope of the immortal spirit realm's hunting, which should be similar to the lore of the dire wolf battle back then. It would be fine if the fairy world was willing to help at the beginning, but judging from past conventions, they would not easily intervene until the last moment.
And the so-called "last moment" must be when there are countless casualties and the scene gets out of control.
I looked at the people in front of me, and I didn't want to lose any of them.
