Chapter 120: The whereabouts of the Nine-Crowned Purple Bamboo
When she opened her eyes and blew out the candles together, my mother suddenly said to me very seriously: "Ziran, from today onwards, you will be an adult, there is something that my mother wants to tell you, and you must keep it in your heart." Do you want to know what your mother just wished? ”
"What is your wish? I've never seen you make a wish with me before. Ah, I know, don't you expect me to marry you a daughter-in-law quickly, right? I pretended to come to my senses and said with a wicked smile on my face.
"Stinky boy, it's not a good thing, mom is down to business, every word I say next, every word, you have to remember it firmly, because it's really important to you, and it's also related to your future, one day in the future, you'll understand why, are you ready to listen?" My mother didn't hit me with a smile as usual, but still stared at me with a serious face and asked.
"Well, it's ready, Mom." So, I put away my smile and listened carefully.
"Do you remember the golden-crowned purple bamboo in our living room?" Mom asked, glancing at an empty corner of the living room.
"Remember, it's the weird plant with five golden thorns on top of the purple spiky leaves, right? I remember when I was eight years old, you plucked a piece and pierced my hand with a golden thorn. "I also followed my mother's eyes to look at the corner, and according to my childhood memories, there used to be a strange plant bonsai there.
"Then you should remember that your mother said that it was a five-crowned golden-crowned purple bamboo, right?"
"Remember, you also said that there are seven crowns and nine crowns of golden crown purple bamboo, it seems that the nine crowns can't be seen in this world at all, right?"
"That's right, do you know why the Nine Crowns can't be seen in this world?"
I shook my head and didn't speak, just looked my mom in the eye curiously, waiting for her to continue.
"Because the Nine Crowns can't survive in this world at all, do you know, the Nine Crowns Purple Bamboo must be in a closed cave with a fairly strong aura to grow. And it has to be a naturally occurring cave. Not a speck of outside air must enter, otherwise it will immediately wither and turn to ashes. ”
"What is Reiki? Mom. ”
"Reiki is the concentrated air that contains the nutrients necessary for any living body, and it is the most essential air, so good that human beings only need to breathe this air, without eating, without sleeping, they can live for a hundred years."
"Ah, how amazing is that?" I shouted in surprise.
"This is not magical, if you master the cultivation mantra, cultivate in this aura environment, with the improvement of the realm, it is not impossible to live with the sky."
"Cultivation? With the same life as the sky, isn't that immortal? Are there really immortals? Isn't that an illusory story in a fantasy novel? Is it really possible to cultivate? I asked, incredulous.
"Of course you can cultivate, this world has destroyed the spiritual veins because of a great war in ancient times, so that it has become extremely lacking in spiritual energy, which has led to the inability to cultivate, and gradually, people have become ordinary people, and the short lifespan is only sixty or seventy years."
"Spiritual veins? I remember that the fantasy novel mentioned that it is a kind of snow-like crystal body buried deep in the ground, similar to a mountain range, divided into the best, high-level, intermediate-level, and low-level spiritual veins, which are said to continuously release an endless stream of spiritual energy, which is the best environment for cultivation. Could it be that in such a big world, all the spiritual veins have been destroyed? ”
"It was not completely destroyed at the beginning, and there are still a small number of them in this world, but the quality is already very poor, the best, high-level and intermediate-level are completely destroyed, and only a small number of low-level spiritual veins are still preserved, but they are all treasured by some surviving cultivation families, and outsiders can't see them at all."
"You just said that the Nine-Crowned Purple Bamboo must have aura to survive, so is the low-level spiritual vein also suitable for the Nine-Crowned Purple Bamboo?" I thought about it and asked.
"It's okay to be low-level, but the nine-crowned purple bamboo can't definitely grow if it doesn't have a spiritual vein, you forgot that I just mentioned that there must be a naturally formed karst cave."
"I remember, but natural caves are not very common in this world, but there should still be a lot of them, right? Isn't there a Yaolin Wonderland near Santan City, warm in winter and cool in summer, that is a cave, right? ”
"Yaolin Wonderland is indeed a karst cave, but it has been developed by tourism, and artificial lighting has been added, and the air outside has completely covered the entire karst cave, even if there are spiritual veins below, it is no longer suitable for the growth of the nine-crowned purple bamboo."
"Then there are always some karst caves that are still buried deep underground and have not been explored by humans, right? Maybe there are nine crowns of purple bamboo in there, right? ”
"There is such a possibility as you mentioned, but it will be very rare, after all, there must be both spiritual veins and natural closed karst caves, and karst caves with both are extremely rare. And even if this kind of cave really exists, even if there is really a nine-crowned purple bamboo growing in it, the current technology of human beings will not be able to obtain the nine-crowned purple bamboo at all. When my mother said this, she sighed slightly, and it seemed that she really wanted to get the Nine Crowns Purple Bamboo.
"I know that as soon as humans open the cave and air enters, the Nine-Crowned Purple Bamboo will wither, so you said that you can't see the Nine-crowned Purple Bamboo in this world at all, is there really no way to preserve the Nine-Crowned Purple Bamboo?"
"The only way is to enter directly without opening the cave, and then use the space ring made of special crystal stones to bring in the Nine Crowns Purple Bamboo in order to safely get the Nine Crowns Purple Bamboo, and those who have not cultivated will not be able to enter through the wall at all, even if they enter, without the space ring made of crystal stones, it is still in vain."
"Mom, it's so troublesome. Wouldn't it be a lifetime to never have the opportunity to see the nine-crowned purple bamboo? By the way, Mom, you have been emphasizing the Nine Crowns Purple Bamboo again, is the wish you just made also related to the Nine Crowns Purple Bamboo? I suddenly understood something, stared into my mother's eyes and asked.
"Child, it doesn't matter if others get the Nine Crowns Purple Bamboo or not, and even if they do, it only has ornamental value, but you are different, for you, the Nine Crowns Purple Bamboo can completely change your life, you still have your responsibilities, and there are still many people waiting for you to save in the future. That's right, the wish that my mother made just now is related to the Nine Crowns of Purple Bamboo, and it is also related to you, because my mother's wish is that when you are eighteen years old, you must find the Nine Crowns of Purple Bamboo, otherwise you will never have a chance to activate it again in this life. My mother suddenly became preoccupied again, and said to me in a serious tone.
"Can the nine-crowned purple bamboo change my life? And what does activation mean? I asked, a little confused.
"It's going to be hard to explain to you for a while, you just have to remember that from now on, once you hear the news about the Nine Crowns Zizhu, tell me and your dad immediately, and we'll do everything we can to get it for you, even if it's bankrupt." You just need to remember that this nine-crowned purple bamboo is really important to you, so important that if you don't get it, it is very likely that you will lose me and your father, aren't you afraid that you will never see your mother and father again? So, one day, when you can see it, you have to do everything to get it, and when you get it, you will understand everything, remember. ”
"Got it, Mom, I want to be with you forever, no one can separate our family, since this Nine-crowned Zizhu is so important to our family, I promise you, Mom, I will try to find the nine-crowned Zizhu when I am eighteen years old. Trust me, Mom. I said with a sour feeling in my heart.
Since I was a child, I didn't have any other relatives, my parents are my only relatives, and the only people I care about the most, if I lose them, I think I will be very sad and sad, and I will never let this happen, because I have grown up.
When my mind returned to my soul space from two years ago, I was really excited, since my mother solemnly mentioned it to me two years ago, I have been trying to find its whereabouts, but I have almost searched the library and the Internet, but there is not a trace of news and information about the Nine Crowns Zizhu.
Seeing that I was admitted to the university, I was already eighteen years old, I felt a lot of pressure, Jiuguan Zizhu has always been my heart disease, I originally planned to come to the campus of Yan University, I can use the internal information network of Yan University to check whether there is any hidden information that is not open to the public, to get the news about Jiuguan Zizhu.
Unexpectedly, on the morning of the second day after I arrived at Yan University, I unexpectedly had the news of the nine-crowned purple bamboo, looking at the purple wind chimes on the purple swift door, I finally put my mind at ease, I just wanted to laugh happily for three days and three nights.
When I laughed with Fauber in the soul space, Fauber's expression suddenly changed, as if something bad had happened again......
"Fauber, what's wrong?" I stopped laughing, looked at Fauber with some confusion and asked.
Following Fauber's gaze, I noticed that he was staring at the purple wind chimes on the purple swift door, and then he scanned the whole apartment, shook his head, and didn't seem to notice anything, but he always felt that something was wrong.
In the soul space, I can also see the outside, but only within the range of about three meters of my outer body, after all, I have not cultivated yet, and the soul power realm is almost zero, I know that when I cultivate to a very high level in the future, in the soul space, it is not a problem to be able to see a radius of thousands of miles.
It's just that time stands still outside, and I can see Number 2 standing motionless next to my body, lips slightly open, apparently halfway through the sentence.
In front of us was an ultra-thin screen floating in the air, and the picture on the screen was also fixed at the door of the purple swift.
I knew that at this moment, No. 2 was in my room, and after Du Yan left with a jump, as soon as I returned to the room, she appeared out of thin air.
After that, she waved her hand, and a virtual screen of Quazi wireless service appeared in front of our eyes, and what was playing on the screen was the real-time monitoring of the shared hall outside.
