Chapter 460: Under the Sacred Tree

The reason why it is said to be back to each other is because this camphor tree has a very anthropomorphic appearance. Its crown and branches are naturally shaped during the growth process, and when you look at it from a distance, you don't need too much associative ability to see a majestic shape similar to the arhat and the heavenly king in the temple.

Over the years, the main trunk of the camphor tree has branched apart, like two large thick legs standing upright on the ground, and it also has a large, well-defined "head", which is its trunk crown. In addition, there is a cluster of particularly well-developed lateral branches on the shoulders that are about the proportions of the human body, extending out for more than ten meters, like a thick arm stretched out.

This arm is just above the seemingly calm waves of Beishan Lake. The water of the lake is slightly undulating, and the granite pattern of the wall-like wall of the breakwater is stirred back and forth, with slight twists and turns, but the whole does not cross the extension line of this horizontal and thick arm.

"This is Sagaemon?"

"Yes, during World War III, earthquakes caused changes in the topography of the mountains. Floodwaters poured down the upper reaches and soon inundated the ancient capital, forcing other cities downstream. However, due to topography, coincidence, and other reasons, floods, which could have caused more damage, stayed in this place, forming a huge dammed lake. In the following decades, although there were many dangers, the lake generally stayed behind this camphor tree, and did not take a step forward. The citizens of Hanjo City thought the tree was miraculous, so they named it 'Emon' after the local folklore, which means that it was a guard guarding the royal court. It is rumored that the tree was transplanted from Saga Prefecture on the sunken island of Kyushu, and Saga was called Saga in ancient times, so it was called Sakaemon. ”

The specific information, Ronan has already had a preliminary understanding through his own observations and the information provided by Yin Le, but listening to Yin Le retell the rather strange legend like a story is still a relaxing experience.

At this time, looking at the "Sagaemon Gate" again, it is indeed like a strong man with a stout body, with a cross arm exerting force, forcibly stopping the vast water waves, and turning his back to the lake, ignoring the threat, very bold and powerful.

Of course, it is impossible for the Hancheng city government to rely entirely on a camphor tree for the safety of the city. According to the records, at the beginning of the creation of Hancheng grass, the builders still built a series of water conservancy projects such as embankments with record-breaking earthworks behind this big tree, so as to completely control the possibility of invasion of Beishan Lake and Hunan. The semi-abandoned hydroelectric power station that Ronan was going to visit soon was one of the results of that time.

The designers of the water conservancy project should have taken into account the folk beliefs, and when building the embankment, there was plenty of room for the camphor trees to grow. And this "sacred tree" is not unkind, the thick roots of the strong, not only deep into the ground, but also a considerable part of the surface of the extension, covered with pale green moss, looks full of antiquity.

Yin Le continued: "In fact, the age of this tree is not too long, only about 100 years, but its growth momentum is very strong, larger than some thousand-year-old trees, and it stands to reason that there should be some distortion effects. It's just that the plant distortion is relatively mild, and the Hancheng City Government has not found any obvious problems after long-term monitoring and research, so it goes. ”

Ronan looked at it and muttered, "The incense is very strong." ”

It's about eight o'clock in the evening, and it's the time for citizens to go out and relax. Many residents or tourists come to this camphor tree, according to the local customs, to the tree to high-five, salute. The flow of people under the tree has been in a relatively full state, endless, and it does look quite bluffing.

Yin Le flipped through the information, and now he is learning and selling: "The local worship of the gods is usually in the morning, but legend has it that when the flood arrives behind Sagaemon, it is at nightfall, so it is believed that Sagaemon's divine power is more abundant at night, and the salute is also after the sun goes down." If it were daytime, there wouldn't be so many people. ”

Ronan bowed slightly, and it is no wonder that the citizens of Hancheng City have enshrined a large number of incense beliefs, this camphor tree does have some spirituality.

It is surprisingly vigorous, sucking in large amounts of nutrients from the surrounding land, in the air, in the waters behind it, and beyond, and effectively distributing them to the root trunks. At the same time, there is also some "restraint", forming a relatively healthy symbiotic relationship with the surrounding environment, which is no longer the realm that ordinary plants can achieve.

There is something more special besides that......

At this time, the yacht was already very close to the embankment, and could not go any further, so it temporarily dropped anchor and stayed on the water. Ronan observed in this position in sync with his gaze and psychic sense. Silent for a long time.

Yin Le was very cooperative and silent for a while, but after a few minutes, seeing that Ronan had been like this, he couldn't help but ask softly: "Sir, is this camphor tree directly related to that person's traces?" ”

The so-called "man" is the language of the snake.

Yin Le's initial goal in coming to Hancheng this time was to help Ronan search for traces of the snake whisper's body.

Serpent is a world-renowned spell mage in China, who went to Xia Cheng in an out-of-body state last year to cooperate with the actions of the Guild and try to disadvantage Ronan. Later, the operation failed, and many people saw that she was captured by Ronan by secret methods, but no one knows whether she was imprisoned or directly killed.

So, Ronan was looking for the serpent's body, and Yin Le and Mrs. Halder were not at all surprised. As for what Ronan did with the snake husk, whipping the corpse to vent, threatening torture, making medicine and cooking, etc., it was none of their business.

The most important thing is to be able to consolidate and deepen the relationship with Ronan through this kind of thing.

Yin Le didn't just give Ronan a good impression in doing things. Before coming here, she and Mrs. Halder had devised quite a number of plans on how to improve their relationship with Ronan. In the next few days in Hancheng, she will verify them one by one to see which effect will be better.

Judging from the situation just now, at least Ronan is not completely indifferent to her little approach, and he is not angry, which is a good start, but what to do next to be just right is still a difficult problem that he is not sure of, but he has to try.

Yin Le turned his gaze to Ronan again.

Ronan was still looking at the camphor tree in the distance, and the figures flowing under the camphor tree, very attentive. What kind of scene will appear in her eyes and mental induction is not something that Yin Le can guess, but it makes her even more curious.

There is no doubt that Ronan is a mysterious and powerful person, but the more you learn about it, the more you understand that in a sense, this is just a simple and even innocent teenager.

Mighty power, surrounded malice, and ever-increasing dangers; There is also a special experience in childhood, a good family education...... All kinds of complex and contradictory conditions are combined to form Ronan's special personality that is almost split.

Develop relationships with such people. And it is in a lower position, and it is not easy for Yin Le to beg for favor in a flattering way. What's more, she may face backlash at any time - Ronan's staggered and changing personality is like a set of rapidly rotating fan blades, which seem to be one at high speed, but if touched head-on, it is a murder weapon that can wring off fingers.

Even, it is likely that it is her neck that will be broken!

As soon as she thought of this, Yin Le's heartbeat speed accelerated a lot, but thinking that there was a spiritual powerhouse with super sensitive senses around her, and she had to control it, it was really hard!

As he was trying to mix his breath, Ronan's murmur sounded:

"What a beauty."

Do you mean me?

Yin Le's heart suddenly skipped a beat, but she soon found out that she was really wrong.

Because Ronan was looking at the shore the whole time. His gaze passed through the vast night of nearly a kilometer, and locked on a special spot in the flow of people coming and going under the camphor tree.

Although Yin Le is also an ability and a spiritual side, neither the distance of her eyes nor her spiritual induction is enough to support her to see the details on the lakeshore. She could only indulge her mind and speculate: the teenager in front of her seemed to have really reached the age of interest in the opposite sex......

Ronan spoke again, this time to Yin Le, "Can the boat dock?" ”

Yin Le quickly came back to his senses and responded, "There is no pier nearby, but there are fishing boats on board, so we can bypass the breakwater in front of us and land from the eastern area. ”

"Really? That's good, we're lucky. Ronan said, no longer nostalgic for the scene on the shore, and turned his head and went to the lower deck.

Yin Le hurriedly followed behind, connecting the words before and after, re-sorting the logic, and suddenly found a problem: "If he goes ashore, it is to see beautiful women up close, or even further...... Am I going to help, or do I want to help, or do I just help? ”

Today's Ronan is quite different from the image of the obedient brand child in Summer City. With Yin Le's intelligence channels, of course, he would not take the "paternity test" turmoil a few days ago seriously, but the more this is the case, the stronger the contrast.

"Logically speaking, I'm more likely to be wrong. But if it is true as Mrs. said, the current Ronan is a depressed child who has just awakened his adult consciousness, but he is instinctively suppressed because he has not yet opened his mind. When you arrive in an unfamiliar area like Hancheng, it is not impossible to lose your usual restraints and suddenly awaken and explode......"

In the midst of Yin Le's thoughts, she and Ronan boarded the fishing boat equipped with the yacht, made a detour to land, and took a little more time to walk from the breakwater to "Mr. Sagaemon".

When you look at the camphor tree up close, it is even more massive and majestic than when viewed from a distance. At this time, Yin Le could already slightly feel the vitality of the surrounding air, as well as the power of faith from the chaotic but already certain rules of the people who worshiped in the surrounding area.

"After decades of accumulation, it has become a scale! If it's a small sect, you can basically take advantage of this and awaken a few people who are close to this field. Well, there are many sects in Hancheng, even if most of them are not high, they are all 'insiders', and they should not be blind to this point. So ......"

Touched by her heart, Yin Le looked around, and under the search with clear standards, she soon saw a "monk" meditating with his eyes closed in the shadow of the thick branches on the west side of the camphor tree, "stretching out his arms".

He is said to be a monk, just because this person is wearing a wide robe similar to a robe, and the roots of his hair are extremely short, so he looks more like a cultivator who is not in the five elements. The citizens who came to pay their respects were not surprised by the existence of this person.

"It's a capable person, but it's not supposed to be a Buddhist."

In contrast to the "secret order" that supported half the sky in the Middle World, the presence of traditional religions in the context of the new era is very weak, at least compared to the scale of the pre-war almost monopoly on the field of faith.

However, once there is an ability among them, they often have more obvious "sectarian characteristics", and they are as experienced as Yin Le, and they can be recognized at a glance.

The "monk" in front of him obviously does not have that characteristic. However, the qi of the whole body is quite in harmony with the "Sakaemon", and it is also contaminated with the aura of faith, and it has a characteristic that is completely different from that of secular figures.

The Awakened, and his strength is not bad, and there is an additional bonus near the "Sagaemon Gate".

Yin Le frowned, feeling that her intelligence collection work in Hancheng was still too omissional, so she immediately made up for it and gained an in-depth understanding through special channels. She spent two minutes combing through the information, and was about to report to Ronan, when the young man beside her moved slightly, stepping into the crowd of people who were leaving in front of her, and went straight to the way she came.

"Sir!" Yin Le subconsciously let out a low snort, and soon woke up again, pursed his lips and didn't say a word, just followed closely.

Thinking of Ronan's previous statement, she raised her eyes to look ahead. Sure enough, about seven or eight positions away, there was a woman with a good posture, dressed in a traditional local kimono, with her head slightly bowed, slowly walking with the flow of people.

Yin Le couldn't see the woman's face, but he saw that the slightly exposed skin on the back of the neck was as white as jade, and the walking gait was also extremely elegant, so that the men and women around him unconsciously turned their eyes and looked at it more. Basically, it's certain that it's a beauty above the level.

Of course, in terms of this kind of "distortion of vision", Yin Leben is not inferior, and this just makes Ronan a little dissatisfied with her: "Keep a low profile, don't attract attention." ”

At this moment, Yin Le felt quite aggrieved, and was stunned for a moment before responding: "Then I'll go and collect that person's information first." ”

Ronan still stared at the woman, only nodding his head, which was considered approval.

Yin Le breathed a sigh of relief, and at the same time vowed in his heart that no matter where he was, he would prepare a closed vehicle such as a flying car - at least when he attracted Ronan's attention, it would not cause him corresponding trouble.

At this time, Yin Le's heart was suddenly touched again, and he turned his face to look at the camphor tree. The tree itself did not change, but the cultivator under the tree slowly got up, folded his hands, saluted the tree, and then bypassed the flow of people and left in another direction.
