Metasequoia forest
"Mr. Zhuge is here, come and take a look. The pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info "Qinglong took Zhuge Xun to the place where the thousand-year-old fruit was planted yesterday, and Long Ye, Jinlong, Xilong and Kalong were already waiting there.
"What's going on?" Looking at Qinglong's nervous expression, Zhuge Xun didn't know what was going on.
"It's been like this since this morning." Jinlong pointed to the ground and said.
Zhuge Xun looked in the direction pointed by Jinlong, and saw that the ground where the thousand-year-old fruit was planted yesterday exuded a faint green light. "Are you feeling sick?" Turned his head and asked about Jinlong's situation.
Jinlong shook his head.
Zhuge Xun put his hand on the ground, feeling the breath coming from the ground.
"Mr. Zhuge , can you hear my voice?" The voice of the red moon came from Zhuge Xun's head.
"Miss Red Moon, I can hear you. Do you know where I am now? ”
"I know that it is a normal phenomenon, it is the detection of the ground environment before the germination of the millennium fruit, and this phenomenon will disappear at night. If you come back to the museum after you have nothing to do over there, I have something to say. ”
"This is only a test of the ground environment before the millennium fruit germinates, and it will only germinate after it thinks the environment is safe, and now this situation will probably disappear by night." Zhuge Xun said to the people behind him. "Can I go and pick five metasequoias?"
"Yes." Long Ye nodded and agreed to Zhuge Xun's previous request. "Qinglong, you go and accompany Mr. Zhuge to pick the metasequoia he wants."
"It's Lord Long. Then Mr. Zhuge is here, please. Qinglong led Zhuge Xun to the metasequoia forest.
"Is there any use for Mr. Zhuge to ask for these metasequoias?" Qinglong asked.
"Use it where it's supposed to be. Can you give me this one? Zhuge Xun's hand touched the metasequoia beside him, which was the thickness of a one-person tall wine bowl.
"Mr. Zhuge can choose what you want, and I'll help Mr. dig it out later."
"No need, I'll do it myself." After saying that, Zhuge Xun recited the incantation, only to see that the metasequoia was uprooted, and it did not hurt a single root or leaf. Then take the room key of the main building from his neck, open the door of time in the void, and teleport the selected five metasequoia back to the main building of the Moon Pavilion first, and the red moon should help him collect it. Anyway, it would be nice to give her a gift when the time comes.
Qinglong watched as Zhuge Xun 'teleported' the five metasequoia trees to an unknown place. Can this really be done? "Have you chosen all the gentlemen?"
"Hmm."
"I finally found you, Master Long invited Mr. Zhuge over, and the metasequoia sprouted." The servant finally found Qinglong and Zhuge Xun in the metasequoia forest.
"Let's get over here." Qinglong replied. "Sir?"
"Now that I'm done, let's go over."
When the two came to the crowd, they saw a strange phenomenon. I saw that all the people next to Metasequoia had their eyes closed, their arms wide open, and they were taking deep breaths. And when the two approached closely, their bodies felt relaxed like never before, and the air was filled with a fresh smell, like walking in a century-old primeval forest. Zhuge Xun and Qinglong were also unconsciously immersed in this peace.
"You're here." Long Ye opened his eyes first.
Listening to Long Ye's voice, everyone also opened their eyes.
"Mr. Zhuge , this is the real metasequoia, we can feel its vigorous vitality, and it is a blessing to have its existence!" Xilong said excitedly.
"This is the effect of the millennium fruit and the 'medicine'. Metasequoia's nutrients come from the filthy qi of the world, and the reborn metasequoia can grow so tall so quickly because there is too much filthy qi accumulated in the eight circles. Zhuge Xun squatted beside the newborn metasequoia. Look at the young shoots of metasequoia about ten centimeters. "The eight circles should be purified almost, from now on the growth of metasequoia will be relatively slow, you don't have to worry too much, its slow growth means that there is nothing 'trouble' in the eight circles, if it grows too fast...... So you just need to ensure that you have enough water, and you don't need to do other superfluous things. Also, I remember that Master Long promised to give the four circles of metasequoia branches. Now this metasequoia is too small and has no branches, so Long Ye can ......" Zhuge Xun looked around, then pointed to a metasequoia with a bowl mouth and said: "You can give this one to Sihuan, this one has not begun to wither, and its growth is also very healthy, and then dig some soil from this side and send it to Sihuan together, which should have a good purification effect." ”
"Then according to what the gentleman said." Long Ye commanded his subordinates.
"Now that the metasequoia has sprouted safely, there is no need for me here, I am leaving." Zhuge Xun said goodbye to Long Ye.
"Sir, why don't you stay a little longer." Long Ye retained.
Zhuge Xun took out a blank paper figure from the cloth bag he carried, wrote the words 'eight circles' on the paper figure with a pen, and handed it to Jinlong. "You put this paper figure away, if there is any 'big thing', you can drip blood on the paper figure, and the paper figure will automatically return to me."
Jinlong put away the paper man. "Thank you, Mr. Zhuge and please forgive me for my previous rudeness."
"It's fine. Then I'll take my leave. ”
"I asked someone to send Mr. away?!"
"Don't bother." Zhuge Xun opened the door of time, entered the door, and closed the back door.
"Grandpa?!" Jin Long looked at Long Ye.
"Hmm." Long Ye looked at the place where Zhuge Xun left.
This method, which I saw not long ago, is the method of ZERO suddenly appearing at the World Conference and leaving suddenly......
The main building of the Red Moon Pavilion.
As soon as Zhuge Xun returned to the main building, he saw Kate in the hall on the first floor, holding her hands and shoulders, studying the several metasequoia trees she had sent back.
"You're back, what is this?" Kate saw Zhuge Xun coming down from upstairs. "Is it a gift for Xiao Honghong?"
Zhuge Xun had a 'if you don't say a word, you'll die'. "That's what I promised Ling."
"Oh. Are you going to see Little Lingling? ”
"Don't you deserve to be so idle as your star, or are those people finally discovering your true nature? It's out of breath so quickly, should you die again and change your identity again, I don't mind reaching out for this help. ”
"Kaoru still doesn't like to listen to it." Kate had a conversation with Zhuge Xun without a match.
"Why didn't you see the red moon? To the fore? Zhuge Xun placed the box on the table.
"She's not in front of her. She said that since the World Conference, her business has been surprisingly good, and she doesn't know what happened to people now. ”
"By the way, Kaoru asked you something?"
Kate's very serious expression made Zhuge Xun a little uncomfortable. "What?"
"Are you still half-blood? It's not the same as the first time I saw you. ”
Listening to Kate's question, Zhuge Xun frowned slightly. "Although the bullet was taken away, I still have half of the vampire's blood in my body, but it is suppressed by my spiritual power, so ordinary people can't feel the nasty and disgusting breath in my body." Being a mixed-race makes Zhuge Xun very uncomfortable all the time, although he can live so long by relying on the 'mixed-blood', but as the last onmyoji of the Zhuge family, this 'impure' blood makes him uncomfortable! Some 'purebloods' can do things, but their own half-tone body can't do it, but there is no way to change it, which makes me even more popular!
"I said Kaoru isn't so annoying now." Kate shrugged.
"You have a grudge against the man who gave me blood?"
"Hatred and hatred."
That's when Kate's phone rang. "My eldest young master, where are you, your work is not finished yet, come back to me quickly." On the other end of the phone came the growling voice of Kate's agent.
"I'm not going back, why are you so angry, really." After Kate closed the line, she sighed helplessly. "If people are too popular, they are trouble. Kaoru I'll go first, and I'll say hello when Xiaohong comes back. Kate went upstairs.
Zhuge Xun didn't speak, and after Kate left, he sat quietly on the sofa and waited for Hongyue to come back, and the gift that he 'brought' from Bahuan was a return gift to Hongyue.
"When did you come back, why didn't you wake me up?" Zhuge Xun didn't know how long he had been asleep, but when he opened his eyes, he saw Hongyue sitting quietly opposite him.
"I think my husband looks very tired, so I didn't wake you up." Red Moon sipping the coffee in her cup.
"This is money, a million in total. Of these, 800,000 are for you, and 200,000 are for Ling, and the tree I sent back. After leaving from you last time, I went to Lingna, Ling was worried about the affairs of the five civilian areas, because of the World Conference, life in the civilian area was not easy, and Ling's stupid person now has no real power in his hands, so I helped him ask for an extra 200,000 yuan in Bahuan, and these five metasequoia trees I picked out to be healthier are also ready for Ling to plant in the civilian area. And this one for you, although I don't know if it will be useful to you. Zhuge Xun took out six transparent glass beads from his pocket, five of which were only the size of a thumb cap, and only one was the size of a phalanx, and they were all filled with some green liquid.
"This is the nutrient solution that I left behind that has been soaked in the thousand-year-old fruit, these five small ones are given to Ling together with these metasequoias, and this is for you, it is a return gift for you to help me this time, the glass cover outside is an ordinary glass ball, and I used 'qi' to seal the nutrient solution into it." Zhuge Xun handed the largest glass bead to Hongyue.
"Was it given to me?" Red Moon asked.
Zhuge Xun didn't hear Hongyue's question, but replied, "It's for Miss Hongyue." ”
"Thank you, sir, for me." After Hongyue took it, he put the glass beads on the palm of his hand, and the liquid in the glass beads faintly exuded a faint green luster. Later, a green brocade box appeared in Hongyue's other hand, and the small brocade box had a talisman attached to it. Hongyue removed the talisman and opened the box, which was a shriveled fruit core, Hongyue put the fruit core together with the glass beads, and at the same time a faint light rose in her hand, only to see that the fruit core was sealed into the glass beads, and the glass beads that were originally the size of the finger bones expanded to the size of the palm after sealing the fruit core, and the fruit core soaked in nutrient solution slowly regained its original luster. Red Moon waved her hand, and another green brocade box flew out of the cabinet next to the wall, just the size to put the larger glass beads, and after closing the lid, Red Moon wrote another symbol and pasted it on the box, and then the box disappeared into Red Moon's hand.
"Thank you, sir, as the owner of the museum, I can't use the things in the museum casually, the shriveled kernel is the first millennium fruit, not what the museum has, but my things, if Mr. just sent the nutrient solution to the museum, then I can't use the nutrient solution. However, such a valuable gift, Hongyue deserves it, so Hongyue also returned a gift to Mr. ”
"No, no, it should be, last time." Zhuge Xun hurriedly waved his hand and refused, the last time, Hongyue didn't blame himself for being grateful.
"Sir, you're welcome, although it was sent to Mr. by the Red Moon, but the Red Moon was also entrusted by others."
Zhuge Xun feels as if Red Moon seems to be very happy after getting the nutrient solution? "Entrusted? Me? ”
"Please answer the following questions from Zhuge Xun's personal standpoint." Hongyue asked solemnly.
Zhuge Xun nodded.
"Will Zhuge Xun voluntarily guard the southern barrier for the sake of humanity?"
"Zhuge Xun won't, but Zhuge Xun of the Zhuge family will. Because since the time of the 'King Wen' in ancient times, the Zhuge family has been ordered to guard the southern boundary of human society to ensure that human beings can be harmed by any other species on the earth. Everyone in the Zhuge family is obliged to do this, but if I am not a member of the Zhuge family, I will not guard the southern barrier for the sake of human beings, and the current human beings are no longer worthy of the earth or what people like us do for it, but there are not only human beings on the earth, there are many other species. Humanity's exploration of extraterrestrial civilizations never stopped before the Third War, but it was never found, whether it was because the Earth was protected by the 'sages' or because of the inadequacy of human beings, the Earth was the only known place to live. Zhuge Xun said his answer truthfully.
"Will Zhuge Xun intervene in the future disputes between human beings?"
"I don't know how to answer this question. I won't, and can't, until I met the Red Moon Pavilion. But when I met the Red Moon Pavilion, I also met some people...... Just like Zhuge Xun in the past, he would not help humans ask for metasequoia for the survival of human beings, but now I want to do something because of Ling's consciousness. ”
"......" Hongyue didn't speak for a long time.
And Zhuge Xun just waited quietly for the red moon.
"The Red Moon Pavilion can give a wish to the people who see the museum, does Zhuge Xun want to make any wishes? Any wish is fine. ”
"It's better to make things like wishes come true. Even if I wish for 'world peace', will this wish really come true? As long as there is a human world, there will be no world peace, right? ”
Hongyue took an extra ancient Chinese coin in his hand and handed it to Zhuge Xun.
Zhuge Xun was slightly stunned after taking it, this is the 'ring money' is the currency that circulated in the Western Zhou Dynasty, and this thing can still be seen so brand-new! The Zhuge family has a set of 'King Wen' specially created 'ring money' for divination, and after the death of the ancestor Zhuge Kongming, he didn't know where to go, and he also saw the 'ring money' in the family illustrated.
"Although I want to give Mr. Zhuge a gift in return, but Mr.'s answer just now made me unable to make up my mind, so I left it to Zhuge Xun to decide, this ancient coin represents Zhuge Kongming's consciousness, and Zhuge Xun will throw it, and the Moon Pavilion will make the decision. The coin 'word' is facing upwards, which represents Zhuge Kongming's recognition of you, and also represents the recognition of the Moon Pavilion to you. But if the 'back' is facing up, then Zhuge Xun is just a guest of my Red Moon Pavilion. ”
Zhuge Xun didn't know what the meaning of Hongyue letting him throw this coin of extraordinary origin, but he could see Hongyue's troubles. Zhuge Xun flicked the coin into the air, and the coin in the air flipped for a long time before falling, and no one took it, just let it fall on the table in front of the two.
"It seems that your ancestors approved of you." Red Moon looked at the coins on the table with the 'word' face up.
"Does that make any sense?" Zhuge Xun still didn't understand what it meant.
"Hmm." With a flick of her fingers, a burning gray candle appeared in Red Moon's hand. Hongyue continued: "Mr. Zhuge Xun was forced to ingest the blood of vampires when he became an adult, became a subspecies, and obtained a longevity different from other onmyoji, and Mr. has always minded his identity as a 'mixed race', so Hongyue's gift to Zhuge Xun is 'In the name of Zhuge Kongming, the previous head of the Zhuge family's onmyoji, he officially agreed to make Zhuge Xun, the last onmyoji of the current Zhuge family, the orthodox head of the Zhuge family. When the red moon finished speaking, she saw that the gray candle from before broke into two sections in the middle and burned separately.
Zhuge Xun didn't understand the meaning of the red moon, what does it mean to make yourself a big master in the name of Zhuge Ancestor? "Miss Red Moon......
"The coins that you were asked to throw just now are to determine whether you are qualified to inherit the Zhuge family. Originally, the next head of each Zhuge family was to directly select a suitable successor from the previous one and hold a special 'succession ceremony'. Every hundred years, the Zhuge family will have a very powerful successor in every sense, and your last head of the Zhuge family was Zhuge Kongming, but because he had committed too many taboos in the Zhuge family during his lifetime, the Zhuge family was afraid that it would 'fall into the devil' and endanger the people, so let it 'die' and wait for the right successor to appear, but I didn't expect that something like that happened to the Zhuge family later, so you have never officially inherited the Zhuge family. ”
"I don't understand what Miss Red Moon said." Zhuge Xun didn't understand a word about what Hongyue said! What heirs? What 'enchanted'? What does it mean to let Zhuge Liang die? Didn't he die of illness? He is the successor of the Zhuge family?
Hongyue sighed and said slowly: "The Zhuge family is a yin and yang family, and every hundred years, there will be a person with the strongest spiritual power who will become the head of the Zhuge family, to lead the Zhuge family and guard the southern barrier, and the 'handover ceremony' of each family member is carried out under the witness of the entire Zhuge family. There is also a situation where there is no successor to the next one, or the person who is supposed to be the successor is not qualified to be the successor, and the previous one will remain the 'head of the house' until the right person appears. The previous leader was Zhuge Liang, but he participated in the disputes between people for Liu Bei to go out of the mountain, and used his yin and yang techniques several times, and he also wanted to cross the blister in the later stage, and made too many mistakes, so he was sealed in the center of the enchantment in the south now, and claimed to be sick and died to the outside world, in fact, he has been waiting for his successor.
If there had not been any civil strife in the Zhuge family, you would have been the next head of the Zhuge family, and someone should have said that you were very 'similar' to Zhuge Kongming when you were young, right?
Ancestor Kong Ming has a wish in this museum, that is, I hope that I will judge whether you are suitable to become the head of the Zhuge family, and hand over the set of coins of the 'King Wen' to me, and let me hand it over to the head of the family. This gray candle is his wish. Is there anything else you don't understand? ”
"What do I need to do to become the head of the Zhuge family? The Zhuge family is gone. Although Zhuge Xun still has a lot of questions to ask, I believe that even if he asks, he may not know the answer.
"Although you are the only one left as the onmyoji of the Zhuge family, the southern enchantment is still there, so if you become a family member, it is equivalent to taking on the heavy responsibility of guarding the southern enchantment."
"That's why you're asking me those questions?"
Red Moon nodded. "However, I don't think you're qualified to inherit this position, but both the Pavilion and Ancestor Kong Ming think that you might be up to the task. It's so hard to decide because of your experiences, and I'm afraid you won't be able to see the world 'fairly'. ”
Zhuge Xun finally understood why Hongyue was so entangled, and he also understood that the coin had been flipped in the air for so long just now, but he was actually hesitating, if it wasn't for the civil strife of the Zhuge family, maybe he wouldn't be so entangled.
"Let me explain first, even if I become the head of the Zhuge family, I won't change anything, this world has its own trajectory, and all I can do is protect the existence of the enchantment." Zhuge Xun told the truth.
Listening to Zhuge Xun's words, Hongyue chuckled. "Yes, the world has its own trajectory. As for what you will do after you become a member of the family, or what, it has nothing to do with me and the museum, I am just fulfilling the wish of the ancestor Kong Ming in the museum and implementing it on my behalf. You also have the right to choose whether to accept it or not, Zhuge Xun, what is your decision? ”
"I decided to accept it." (To be continued.) )
