Chapter 49 The Pepper Tree

Hearing Xiaoxiao say this, Mingyue Qingqing wanted to give up the idea of looking for spiritual fire.

"Everything happens by fate. Since you are related to this spiritual fire, it is not difficult to find it. "The little novel arrives.

"If you don't have a relationship with this spiritual fire, then you can't find it, do you know how expensive the location of the spiritual fire is? Even if you know the specific location of the spiritual fire, then you have to have the strength to obtain it, and now for your level, it is not bad to be able to obtain this low-level spiritual fire. ”

After listening to Xiaoxiao's words, she became more clear about her current goal, that is, to cultivate hard, Atlantis Academy has a lot of resources, but it is difficult to become the part of the people who get the resources.

After obtaining the spiritual fire, Mingyue Qingqing flew into the distance, and after eating the barbecue last time, she found that she didn't have many condiments, so of course, in such a large mountain forest, she would definitely find the ingredients.

The five flavors are complete, and Sichuan pepper is indispensable.

In fact, until now, Mingyue Qingqing is still a little confused. How should I go back after the assessment? How do they know they're done? All this is a little puzzling.

And how do they know if they have foreign aid? If you are accompanied by a powerful helper, wouldn't you be able to pass the test easily.

Is it possible to leave this deep forest by yourself, and then wait for the day when the assessment is over, and then come back.

In fact, these questions all surfaced in her mind little by little.

But after thinking about it, people can't be so stupid.

Or do they think that these people will spend their time in the forest honestly?

Although the academy did not clearly stipulate that spirit weapons could not be used, it was very unfair to a penniless street child like her.

Could it be that whoever has the money can enter this academy?

Mingyue Qingqing's mind had all kinds of doubts, and I am afraid that she could only understand it on the day the assessment ended.

Forget it, don't want to. Mingyue Qingqing patted her face with her hand to make herself sober. I've got to go find peppercorns.

In fact, when it comes to peppercorns, this world is really very rare, and it is very strange that as long as peppercorns exude a peppery smell, they will attract a large number of bees.

At first, Mingyue Qingqing didn't believe it, when she worked so hard to find a pepper tree, there was actually nothing abnormal on it, and there were no so-called bees. But when she poked the peppercorns with her fingertips, a pungent pepper smell emanated. Then the bees passing by around all poured towards the bright moon.

Until now. She finally believed that what was normal at first was just because the smell of peppercorns did not come out.

Once the fruit of the pepper tree splits, it emits a pungent odor. Then it attracts a lot of bees to swirl around it.

This world is very different from real life. She already felt an incredible difference in this peppercorn, because the bees not only collected honey, but also danced and whirled in their own direction.

Zanthoxylum trees generally grow in sunny and well-watered areas. So now the moon is clear and flying towards a moist and sunny place. She flew very low, just in case she encountered a spirit beast in the air.

Like the last time she encountered a spirit beast living in groups, then she would be considered unlucky.

It's normal along the way. Mingyue Qingqing flew through many places, but there was no trace of peppercorns. Just as she was about to give up, she heard the sound of a fall in the distance. So he sped up and flew over. Bypassing the huge towering tree, what caught her eye was a person who fell to the ground below, followed by a swarm of bees, Mingyue Qingqing didn't know why the bees followed him, but what she knew now was that this person was in danger.

"Flames!"

Wherever the flames swept through, the bees fell.

Mingyue Qingqing flew in front of this person and helped him up, he was dressed very plainly, and after looking at his face, Mingyue Qingqing summed it up that he should be a very ordinary villager.

"Hello, how did you end up in a place like this?" It's surprising how a villager could be in such a place. It's very dangerous, and for the defenseless, it's not to die.

"Are you a magician?"

Mingyue Qingqing looked at her lower body and replied, "Don't I look like a magician?" ”

The man seemed to see a god. With hopeful eyes, he looked at the bright moon and Qingqing.

"Magician, please help me!"

The man knelt down, his hands on the ground and kowtowed to Mingyue Qingqing.

"What are you doing? Tell me anything! Don't get down on your knees without moving. Did you know that a man has gold under his knees? ”

The man didn't seem to understand what Mingyue Qingqing was talking about at all, but he seemed to understand and told him to get up.

"Master Magician, please do me a favor."

"What's the rush? I'll do what I can. ”

Maybe she is such a person, the so-called rotten good person, she can't see others begging her pitifully.

"Master Magician, all you have to do is help me drain the bees."

"Huh!?"

"Because the pepper tree is so full of bees, I can't even reach it, let alone pick it."

Mingyue Qingqing had some slight excitement when he heard the peppercorns. She has been looking for the pepper tree for a long time, but she has never seen this pepper tree, and it just so happens that she can find it without blowing away. "Of course, it's okay for me."

"Then the magician, come with me."

"Hey, don't call me Master Magician, I'm just a child." Mingyue Qingqing smiled awkwardly, this is the first time I have heard someone call her Master Magician, and having an adult as a suffix feels like a higher level.

"That's... No, it doesn't..."

Mingyue Qingqing has nothing to do, so she can only rely on him. After all, the name still gives people a little sense of glory.

He asked as he followed the man. "Why pick peppercorns? It's very dangerous in a place like this, and if you don't even have a little magic on you, aren't you here to die?"

Mingyue Qingqing told the truth, although it offended people a little.

"Actually, this pepper is a token of love, if I can pick it then my wife will come back, so that she won't run away with others."

"A token of love?"

Mingyue Qingqing was puzzled, can anything in this world be used as a love token?

"That's right, if I don't pick peppercorns, then my wife will have to go with a magician."

"How so?"

"I couldn't give her a better and better life. But I really love my wife. But I didn't expect that it was a magician who took a fancy to my wife. The other party tried to get my wife, but I couldn't do anything, and finally I begged him, and finally he said that as long as I could pick peppercorns, then he could let his wife go, and then he told me the location for me to pick, and then I came here. After that, I met you, the magician. ”

"Ah, how can such a person exist? It's a blatant robbery of his wife! Who is so vicious? I've got you covered. Anyway, why do you want to use peppercorns as a token of love? ”

The man shook his head, "No, no, no, this is a kind of local folk custom in our area, where both parties want to be partners, then the man will give the woman a bunch of peppercorns, intending to confess warmly." ”

"Show love with peppercorns?"

"The truth of pepper knotweed, the reproduction and prosperity of the fruits, and the meaning of giving the sweetheart pepper is naturally to hope to tie the knot and have a baby together."

Mingyue Qingqing thought of the bunches of fruits, as if they were indeed connected, one by one, with the intention of being full.

Many children and many grandchildren.

"Master Magician. The pepper tree is not far away. The man pointed in the direction ahead.

"Hey, why don't you find a powerful person to pick peppercorns with you? Then you can pick it easily! ”

"Magician, you're laughing at me. How can a poor man like us afford to hire those magicians? ”

Mingyue Qingqing felt that what he said also made sense. If I were a hard-hearted person, I would have needed some spirit stones in exchange, but now she's a bad person, so... And she is now trying to find the pepper tree, which can be regarded as barter, he helped me find the pepper tree, and I helped him pick some peppercorns, and neither party loses.

The bright moon looked ahead, and it was indeed a pepper tree.

Now is the season of ripening peppercorns, and the green-green peppercorns have become red and bright, and several dozens or even more peppercorns are connected together.

From a distance, it looks like the trees are full of red flowers, which is especially beautiful.

However, there are a lot of bees around this pepper tree.

When the peppercorns crack and ripen, the smell it emits attracts a large number of bees, so why do bees hover over it? It's because bees go crazy about the smell, like being drunk. After that, you will work like crazy without feeling tired. Pepper trees are so scarce. It is sure to gather a large number of species of bees.

The buzzing of bees makes people a little irritated.

These bees are highly poisonous behind their tails, and just now this villager was fortunate to meet Mingyue Qingqing, otherwise he would have been stung, so he could only lie here. It was no wonder that the magician would call him to collect peppercorns, which seemed to be premeditated, and the magician must have thought that it was impossible for a man to do it.

Thinking of this, Mingyue Qingqing felt that the magician was really vicious.

Look at the bees in front of you buzzing around it. She picked up a rock and threw it like a swarm of bees.

The bees were scattered by the stones, and at this time, the bees also noticed the bright moon on the side.

Anyone who poses a threat to them will immediately attack.

"Uncle, I'll lure them away, you hurry up and pick them!"

After speaking, Mingyue Qingqing ran away from the direction of the uncle, and a group of bees that had just been on the pepper tree also followed.

The target is locked.

Mingyue Qingqing looked at the group of bees behind her and nodded.

The villagers did not slack off at all. When Mingyue Qingqing lured away the bees, he approached the pepper tree.

The branches are covered with many small sharp thorns, like needles, and if you accidentally touch it, you will be pricked by it. There are also thorns under the leaves, and the peppercorns grow at the roots of the leaves, and only by slowly reaching into them can the peppercorns be plucked.

The man carefully cut a small piece with scissors.
