Chapter 10: The Treasure of Heaven and Earth

Xiao Burang stopped on a sea surface. The reef here looms under the washing of the sea, and it is so large at a glance.

Don't make any more stops, the thoughts are connected, and the little ones slowly enter the reef plate.

It's pitch black all around, except that darkness is pitch black, and you can't feel any other changes, is it descending or translating? I don't know.

Time gets long. In the dark, it feels like time is a hundred times slower than in the light.

Xiao Bu Rang stopped in a closed cave, which was an egg-shaped space of about 100 meters, and the circular pool in the middle took up most of the space.

There is a lotus-like plant in the pond, the leaves are as large as a pot, and a few leaves float in the milky white pool water, occupying almost the entire area of the pool.

The lotus flower-like fruit sticks out of the water and is more than five meters high, as big as a millstone, and the stem is as thick as a tree. On the stem of more than ten centimeters, the thorns are like iron nails, densely spread all over the stem.

The top of the cave is dozens of meters high, and a stalactite gradually thins from thick to thin, hanging upside down into a sharp cone, facing the big lotus canopy. Drops of milky white liquid, slowly forming at the tip of the stalactite cone, continue to drip onto the lotus pod.

"I'm going to be that big, the pith that Old Man Liu said is this thing, right? It's all in this pool, right? Damn, how did this big lotus flower come here? Isn't it a waste of these good things, a violent thing? Gou Hong was stunned and muttered foul language.

Qi Zhiming didn't care about teaching him a lesson, and cautiously stepped forward slowly to check the pool water.

As soon as I got closer, a fragrance came to my face, like honey mixed with the fragrance of a hundred flowers, and like the fragrance of orchids, the kind of comfort that I can't say.

Look at the lotus leaves stirring the pool water, it feels very thick. He carefully shook his clothes, wanting to dip a little water in the pond to see what was going on. The pool water is really glue-like paint, very viscous, and it is not easy to dip it.

When he reached out to probe, the lotus leaf suddenly flipped over and cut it like a knife, as if it was alive, like a wolf protecting food.

"Brother Ming, come back soon, this big lotus leaf is fucking semen!" Gou Hong was anxious, and his voice echoed in the cave.

The lotus leaf is flipped like a knife, cutting around the edge of the pool, like a human hand dancing knife, moving non-stop.

The pond is supposed to be a pit formed by water droplets over the years, and the surrounding area is smooth and isolated.

The leaves in the pool rotate like fan blades, and the protection is tight. For a while, the two of them had nothing to do, so they simply gave up for the time being. I have no long things, so I can only think of other ways to do it.

"Da Gou, do you say that if you don't let you go small, can you do it? If it doesn't work, bring it back immediately, it should be fine, right?" Qi Zhiming said.

"Pull it down! In case Xiao doesn't let him hang up, how can we go back? Isn't that suffocating here? No, I'd rather not want to hang up here! Gou Hong's head shook like a rattle.

"Let's talk to Xiao Bulet first, it is alive and knows the danger. How about seeing it? If you can pass through the rocks, you can't stop the lotus, right? In any case, it is not possible to give up so much pith. What is it? A once-in-a-millennium treasure. If it is sold, it will definitely be worth more than those treasures in the hole. After that, Qi Zhiming connected with Xiao Bu's thoughts.

Living up to expectations, when Xiao Bu Rang floated into the top of the pool, there was no longer the dance of lotus leaves, but the milky white pool water disappeared quickly.

The lotus leaves hung at the bottom of the pool in embarrassment, and there was not a drop of pool water!

The two of them regretted it, how precious this rock pith was! I finally got some cultivation resources, but I was absorbed by Xiao Bu Rang at once.

"Brother Ming, take a look! You've done a good job. Old man Liu couldn't find so much pith. Baby! It's all gone all of a sudden, and you're still cultivating a hair? Gou Hong saw that the resources in his hands disappeared and complained.

"Can't you let Xiao Bu let it pour out again? I ask about it! Qi Zhiming's communication did not receive any reply.

The air cushion was generated under the feet of the two of them, slowly rising, approaching the big lotus canopy, could it be that the lotus canopy is also a cultivation resource? That's not bad either.

As the two of them muttered, they reached the top of the lotus canopy.

Twenty lotus seeds, each the size of a fist, are a little sparse embedded in the large lotus pods of the millstone. The blue-yellow lotus pod and the black and yellow lotus seeds show that they are ripe.

The huge lotus canopy sensed that something was wrong, so it hung down directly, and it seemed that if it was upside down, the lotus seeds could fall off.

The pith on the roof of the cave is still dripping unhurriedly.

"Brother Ming, is this what Old Man Liu said about giving birth to lotus flowers? That's the best thing. Now it's ready, more than 20 pieces! Brother Ming, let's say okay, one and a half, you can't take it all! ”

Looking at Gou Hong's nervous appearance, Qi Zhiming smiled: "I have nothing to be nostalgic about, the task is complete, it is enough to leave some money for my son." His mother also loved him, and she may not be a good wife, but she was definitely a good mother. I'm not worried, she is better at educating children than me, so there is nothing to worry about. My parents are gone, and I'm not interested in anything else. ”

"You and my brother have been treating money like dung for many years, but they have never regarded money as a serious thing. When my parents died, there was not a penny, and the time when I needed it was gone. They're gone, you have a lot of family, you need help, it's up to you. Qi Zhiming said sadly and angrily.

"Brother Ming, I'm sorry. I'm just kidding, and you know I'm talking nonsense. Gou Hong was a little flustered and hurriedly explained.

"Da Gou, good brother. Don't worry, it will definitely bring you home, and it will definitely make your family no longer poor. Look at how many treasures there are, just one piece is enough for your family to live for a lifetime, rest assured! Qi Zhiming comforted.

"Brother Ming, if you want to go, let's go together. I know that the death of the uncle and aunt is related to the divorce of my sister-in-law and you. The eldest nephew left with his sister-in-law, also because you had no money. When the old man died, he sold his new house because he had no money and was buried. I also know that after you were demobilized, you were not happy. I also know that you send money to my family every year. I also know that your income is not high, and raising your nephew is all the money spent by your sister-in-law. I also know that you are bitter in your heart, I know, everything is known! ”

"You are a silkworm hiding in a cocoon, afraid that your weakness will be seen by the world. You are also a human being, so don't be strong if you are a human being. No one is smooth sailing, you are so good! But who recognizes you and appreciates you? You don't feel like weight and money is heavy! Do you know what women want? They're all realistic. No woman gambles her youth with your future. ”

"There's a lot of stuff you can't get used to! You are proud and upright, and your brother admires you, but so what? The squadron leader of the special brigade, isn't he still a security guard when he enters society? You can pretend not to care about the difference in status, but others don't care? Sister-in-law doesn't care? People only ask for a stable and comfortable home, how much do you give them? ”

"When you gave me money, did you think about your earning power? Do you have what it takes? When your sister-in-law leaves you, it's your lack of progress, and it's your pretending to be arrogant! Why don't you even have your parents' funeral expenses? Or even kneel for such a small amount of money to a woman you look down on? It's all caused by your false high school. ”

"Now you say let me go alone, do you have the right to do that? Now not in the army, I can not listen. If it's a brother, let's go over together, and no one will be left behind! ”

Yes, if a man can't support his family, what ideals can he talk about? Future? Ambition? This problem also bothered Qi Zhiming for a long time, and he struggled and was incompetent, so he was at ease with the encounter.

Like Julian in "The Red and the Black", in the end, he still failed to cross the class level of bamboo nodules, and such a good person also ended in suicide. In addition to sadness, only regret remained. Wouldn't it be nice to hold on a little longer? No one can substitute for the answer.

Does everyone commit suicide to declare their helplessness after the final effort?

Qi Zhiming was fortunate to meet a high-ranking political official, and he also received some answers: "To be an official needs to serve the people, how big an official position is, and how much responsibility does it take." This is not an empty word, it is a real responsibility! The sentence you asked me how I can be a good official shows that you only desire the power you see in front of you, but do not see the real responsibility behind it! The young man is good, he has achieved a lot, but he is not a man in officialdom. If you can't disturb your mind in everything, you can't mess with your actions, and if the people are single-minded, then nothing will matter! ”

"Da Gou, I'm sorry for what I said just now. What you said makes sense, in a word, good brothers live and die together. Brother doesn't say much, life and death are up to fate! After speaking, Qi Zhiming stood on top of the lotus canopy and picked the seeds with his bare hands.

The lotus canopy is full of hard thorns, and it is very hard to move.

Xiao Bu Rang directly pressed the lotus pod on the ground, and when he stepped on it randomly, all the lotus seeds fell off the ground.

The fist-sized lotus seeds, full and black-yellow, fell to the ground, and there was nothing special about it.

The two looked at each other blankly, this is a good thing, how to eat it? After all, in the records of the old man surnamed Liu, the Earth Heart Lotus is also said to be a genius treasure, and it is extremely rare.

"Obviously, Old Man Liu can get it himself, how can he cheapen us for nothing?" Gou Hong said suspiciously.

"I don't know how many years it has been since Senior Liu died, maybe there was no such treasure in this place at that time? The Earth Heart Lotus is just a saying. Get it down and try it, don't you know it all? You melon baby! Qi Zhiming teased.

The shell of the lotus seed is so hard that it cannot be broken if it is beaten.

There is nothing to use in the cave, and in the face of the treasure, there is nothing to be done again.

"Use the little one more and see if you can make it open? It won't go on like this. Qi Zhiming was also helpless.

"Brother Ming, if we don't let them all eat no matter how young we are, then we will be busy in vain?" With the record of Xiao Bu sucking up the pool water just now, the two of them really didn't dare to try it easily.

"Do you have a way to break the lotus seed? No way? Then let Xiao Bu open one and try it first, and then let it stop! Qi Zhiming said.

Xiao Bu Rang shrunk his body, the size of a palm, like a worm, bit open the seed shell, and immediately sucked it in, this guy is really a living body!

Qi Zhiming hurriedly stopped its devouring, picked up the mini version of the small one, and started it cold, like a silkworm baby, which was very fun.

The lotus flowers in the pond quickly shrank into a mass and turned into mini plants, and the once large lotus flower can now be held in the palm of one's hand.

Qi Zhiming tried a lotus seed first.

After a while, his face was flushed and sweat was raining, obviously it was hard work.

Gou Hong's touch was so hot that he couldn't touch it with his hands.

Qi Zhiming struggled for a while and then fell asleep, the black liquid all over his body, through his clothes, sticky, made people feel extremely uncomfortable when he looked at it.

"Brother Ming, hold on! Damn, this is the legendary bone-washing marrow, right? Do you feel as light as a swallow? Gou Hong was very excited, rubbing his hands and going around Qi Zhiming.

"Da Gou, it's really comfortable. This is really a lotus seed, but it's not black, you eat one and try it. Qi Zhiming said happily.

"Brother Ming, forget it! Seeing that you are so uncomfortable, I still don't eat it, right? Gou Hong said pitifully.

"Eat one! It's an order, execute! Qi Zhiming suddenly became serious.

Gou Hong also knew the benefits, but when he saw Qi Zhiming's painful appearance, he had palpitations.

What Qi Zhiming said was absolutely correct, and it had become a habit. Maybe it's blind obedience, maybe it's trust. The tacit understanding of years of gunfire and bullets is also the implementation of the orders of the superiors and subordinates.

Gou Hong barely ate one, and for a moment there was silence except for his wail.

The two of them just took a lotus seed out of curiosity and desire.

It wasn't until I came to my senses that I realized that this was the best cultivation resource. It's too late to regret, and now I feel that the world is the first in the world, and I have unprecedented self-confidence!

You don't need to meditate cross-legged to absorb the energy of the lotus pod. It's hard work, but it's worth it. The desire for power is every man's dream.

devouring the lotus seeds one by one, eager for quick success, and did not pose any threat to the two of them, but seemed to be drunk in a daze. Dancing with his hands, there are no exercises left, and the beginner formation has also forgotten. Dancing in a mess, but I don't know how great the power is, this space has become a ruin, and the sky is ruined!

The two of them ate this treasure of heaven and earth as rice.

After calming down, he carefully carried the remaining ten lotus seeds, looked at the big lotus flower that had become miniature and smiled. Looking up to see that the pith was still dripping, I took a few drops to moisten my throat. Then, under the leadership of Xiao Bu Rang, it rose to the surface of the sea.

"Brother Ming, let's get cultivation resources, right? Find a place to try Old Man Liu's exercises, right? Let's see how powerful it can be! "Gou Hong was overjoyed when he first gained strength. Out of a thirst for power, I can't help but want to try.

Of course, Qi Zhiming also wanted to know how powerful the exercises were as soon as possible.

Looking around, there were no peaks, and the two of them rehearsed on the reef.

The cyclone gradually formed on the surface of the sea, forming a whirlpool centered on the place where the two men were seated.

The whirlpool of qi rose higher and higher, pointing straight to the sky, as if the power between heaven and earth was used by the two of them. The surrounding sea water is swirled by the air currents. The reefs that lurk on the surface of the sea all reveal their uneven and strange shapes.

After a long time, the sea began to be turbulent, and the swells became higher and higher.

The two of them stood up, their momentum detached, and their eyes flashed like lightning. The whole body is full of energy, and when I look at each other, I am happy. With a wave of his palm, with a "bang", through the sea, the reef plate was knocked out of a huge hole.

The figure swept slightly, and it was more than ten zhang away. Standing on the surface of the sea, waving his palms constantly, the sound of "bang bang" is endless.

For a while, the huge waves on the sea were monstrous, and I don't know how many sea tribes were killed.

It is estimated that the living sea clan will also curse when they flee in panic, "Where did you get this nerve!" Disrupted Lao Tzu's dream! ”

The two of them were stunned for a while, but they were too tired to do it, so they decided to go back to the island after resting for a while. It's been so long, and although the mermaids don't care what they do, they can't make people feel that they don't know how to be polite, right?

As the sun set, it was already dusk when we returned to the island.

The small one shrunk down to a palm-sized transparent mat, like a small leather ball that is not inflated. Qi Zhiming put Xiao Bu Rang in his pocket and slowly returned to the stone house of the two.
