"Excuse me, are you two up?" Outside the door, Lei Zi asked ZERO and Zhuge Xun in the room. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info"I'm in charge of picking them up and going to my house for breakfast......"

"Let's go." Ling opened the door, followed by Zhuge Xun and Lei Zi to yesterday's barbarian house.

……

"How was your rest yesterday?" The barbarian saw that Lei Zi led ZERO and Zhuge Xun to come.

"It's already good."

"Brother ZERO, I heard that you were here yesterday, but I was on the Qinghe side, and you were already resting when I came back, so Dad didn't let me bother you." A girl of fifteen or sixteen years old was setting the table with the breakfast everyone was going to eat.

"Rourou, it's better again." Ling praised the little girl.

After everyone sat down, Mantou said, "Kaoru, this is my youngest daughter Manrou, who went to inspect Qinghe's situation yesterday, so you didn't see it." Rourou, this is your brother ZERO's good friend Zhuge Xun. ”

"If you've seen Brother Zhu, you can also call me Rourou." In fact, from the time ZERO and Zhuge Xun first came in, Rourou saw Zhuge Xun, and the little girl's mind began to move.

"Rourou, Zhuge Xun's surname is Zhuge and his name is Xun, you can call him Brother Zhuge or Brother Xun......" Ling explained to Rourou.

"There are also people whose surnames are two characters! Brother Zhuge is really amazing! Rourou looked at Zhuge Xun with envy, but after facing Zhuge Xun's eyes, she was embarrassed to avoid her gaze. The brute sister on the side saw her daughter's careful thoughts, and touched the brute's head under the table with her hand.

For the small actions between them, Zhuge Xun didn't see it.

"Kaoru wants to find a suitable place to plant trees, Rourou has already chosen a place yesterday, and we will go over and have a look after dinner." The brute said.

"I'm done, I'll go see the tree first." Zhuge Xun left the table first. In fact, it was also because of the soft and brutal sister's gaze that made me very uncomfortable.

"ZERO, LET ME ASK YOU SOMETHING, DOES ZHUGE XUN HAVE A FAMILY?" After Zhuge Xun left, Sister Man asked ZERO.

"Sister Man, you should be joking, saying that you want to give Rourou to Zhuge Xun?" Ling asked.

"You see that they are all about the same age, and Rourou also likes Zhuge Xun, and he is your friend, so we can trust it." Sister Man said.

"Alas...... I didn't want to explain this matter, because it may not be easy for you to accept, but things have reached the point where you misunderstand, and you can't misunderstand anymore, and it's not good for Rourou. Ling secretly complained in her heart, it turned out that Kaoru left first because she knew that Sister Man would ask her about this kind of thing, so she let herself explain. In fact, Zhuge Xun is a 'alien', and he has a contractual relationship with me, don't look at his current appearance, in fact, he has lived for hundreds of years, and I met him before, so I asked him to follow me to help me with things, and I used to take care of it, so when I said to the barbarian about Zhuge Xun...... Thank you for your understanding. I don't think Rourou wants to marry a monster, and even if Rourou wants to, Zhuge Xun shouldn't marry her, so let's take this matter as a joke. Ling didn't tell Zhuge Xun's true identity to the barbarians.

"Of course I don't want to marry a monster! But Brother Zhuge , uh...... Grandpa Zhuge doesn't look like a monster. ”

"Hahahaha, of course it's a joke, that's what I asked." Sister Man laughed dryly.

"I've eaten too, I'll go see Kaoru." Ling also got up and left.

The barbarian sister and the mantou glanced at each other, thinking about things in their hearts, only Rourou still looked like a little girl and pouted.

……

"How's the tree doing?" Ling asked Zhuge Xun who was standing by the bridge.

"When did I become your Shikigami and say I'm an old monster?" Zhuge Xun complained dissatisfiedly.

"So what do you want me to say? You don't want to tell them who you are, and you don't want to marry Manrou, isn't that a good statement? This tree is going to be planted here? Ling saw a small tree with tightly wrapped roots standing next to it.

"Hmm."

"Mr. Zhuge , there is no problem with the tree, right?" Brute and Brute and Rouge also had a group of people coming.

"I'll have to look at the situation on the other side of the water source to be sure."

"The source of the water source is close to the Sixth District, so let's go down from the third pillar and give the tree to them." The brute pointed to the men behind him.

"No, the tree that has not been put into the soil is more fragile, so I should take it myself." Zhuge Xun held up the selected tree with air. "Brute boss, please go ahead."

"Dad, it seems that ZERO didn't lie to me, Zhuge Xun is really a monster." Said softly and softly to the brute head beside him. I was also surprised by the scene just now, but I had seen ZERO's ability, so I couldn't scare myself about it.

The crowd came to the preparation platform for the lower bridge of the third pillar.

"ZERO, I'LL GO DOWN FIRST, WAIT FOR YOU BELOW." Zhuge Xun said to Ling.

"Okay." Ling turned to the brute who was preparing. "Kaoru can't take the tree with him, so he goes down on his own and waits for us below."

"How is he going to go down on his own? It can be 100 meters above the ground. Brute exclaimed.

Without waiting for Ling to answer, everyone saw Zhuge Xun and the floating trees around him jump off the bridge from the side of the bridge.

"Ahh Everyone hurriedly lay on the side of the bridge to see the situation of Zhuge Xun who jumped off the bridge.

I saw that Zhuge Xun, who jumped down, seemed to be stepping on a huge flying bird, slowly descending.

After reaching the ground, Zhuge Kaoru put away the bird-like god just now and waited for the others to arrive.

The people also descended from the bridge to the ground in turn, and when all the people had reached the ground. The brute let the brute lead the way in front and the others followed. Zhuge Xun looked around, the environment here was a little better than that of the first pillar.

"The source is on the sixth pillar, and we still need to go for a while." Ling said to Zhuge Xun.

"Hmm." Zhuge Xun responded, his eyes still observing the situation around him.

Ling remembered the situation when he first met Zhuge Xun, at that time he was very angry with himself as a hunter, and he should be angry at the rescue speed of the Hunter Association, but after getting along for so long, he found that he was not a person who was easily swayed by the things around him, what made him have that emotion when he was three laps.

"I said Kaoru ......"

"What's wrong?" Zhuge Xun turned his head and saw Ling looking at him without saying anything.

"Doesn't Kaoru think it's 'troublesome' to do it now? If I'm bothering you, you can just tell me. In fact, Kaoru doesn't have to worry about these things now. ”

“…… I'm going to act with you now, and I also want to get to the bottom of my doubts, so you don't have to worry about me. Zhuge Xun understood what Ling wanted to say, he had been doubting since before, after receiving the power of the ancestors, this doubt became stronger and stronger, before he met the red moon, he suppressed this doubt, but he met the red moon, met Ling, and met Kate. Flane, saying goodbye to the winged snake, after a lot of things have happened, he doesn't want to suppress such inexplicable doubts, if he puts himself in this world, can he answer the doubts that plague him.

"That's it." Ling said thoughtfully. Confused? Maybe you have a ......

"In front of us is the sixth pillar, and the source of the Qinghe River is on the left side of the pillar, so we have to go this way now, the road here is not easy to walk, please ZERO and Zhuge Xun pay attention to their feet." The brute turned back and said to Ling and Zhuge Xun who were following behind.

The group walked on the rugged stone road, and walked about ten minutes of the distance.

"Here we are. This is the source of the Green River. The brute pointed to the place in front of him that was fenced off by iron nets. Because this is the only source of water for us, it was protected when Sector 1 was formed, and we have people stationed here to guard it. ”

Zhuge Xun looked up, only to see that in front of him was a spherical iron net about twenty meters high, and the net was covered with some slender and sharp iron needles, which were used to prevent objects from climbing on the iron net.

"The place that Rou Rou chose is in the innermost. We entered through this door. The brute pointed to a small door and said to Zhuge Xun.

The small door that could only pass through one person at a time, Zhuge Xun lined up behind Ling and walked in. After passing through the outermost iron fence is the second layer of iron mesh, the inner side of the second layer of iron mesh is close to the iron mesh and there is a house of tarpaulin around it, the door of the second layer is on the right side, after everyone passes the second layer of iron mesh, followed by the third layer of iron mesh, there are people guarding between each layer of iron mesh, and the distance between the nets can be about five meters. The third layer is denser than the first two layers, and the door is already open at the back of the first layer.

After passing the third layer of iron fence, the people came to the water source. The man who was supposed to be on guard came over to report the latest situation to the brute. Ling and Zhuge Xun observed the situation here.

Inside the third layer of iron fence is a line of defense about 10 meters square, near the edge of the iron fence, made of pointed stones, the ground is a manicured lawn, and near the east side there is a well with stones piled up on three sides and a gap in one side, and the water flowing out of the gap flows down the dug river to the outside, which is supposed to be the source.

"What's the environment like here, it's suitable, right?" The brute asked.

"Can I see the source?" Zhuge Xun was very curious about how such a small well created the existence of Qinghe.

"This way." The barbarian took Zhuge Xun to the water source.

"This well is amazing, we don't know where its water comes from, this well has existed since before the civilian area was built, and it has never dried up, and the pipe interface that leads to the sixth pillar is under the ground, and you should be able to see the interface in the water if you look closely." The brute took the cup handed over by his subordinates, scooped up a glass of water and handed it to Zhuge Xun.

Zhuge Xun took a sip. "This water ......"

"It's sweet, isn't it? We all pointed to this well and lived. ”

Zhuge Xun took another sip and said, "Have you ever gone down to the bottom of this water source?" "Leaning over to look at the bottom of the well, this well is very deep, and the deepest part of the eye is pitch black, but after staring for a while, you can faintly see a little light." What is the light underneath? ”

"Nope! We were afraid of destroying this source, so we didn't dig it up below. You say light? "Listening to Zhuge Xun's words, the brute head also looked towards the bottom of the well, but he didn't see any light." The bottom of the well is pitch black, and you can't see anything, what's the problem? ”

"Is there anything wrong with this water?" Ling asked.

"No, I just think the water is sweet." The little bit of light in the water is by no means dazzling.

Although he felt that Zhuge Xun wanted to speak again, Ling didn't ask any further, he didn't say that there should be his reason.

"Is it okay to plant the kind of tree you brought in this place?" Asked in a soft voice. Ever since she learned about Zhuge Xun, Manrou was scared and curious about him.

"Yes. This metasequoia will protect the 'purity' of the water source and will help you. ”

"You can choose this place, and I'll let people dig a pit." The brute head makes people get shovels ready.

"No need, just let ZERO help me, you guys stand out a little." Zhuge Xun asked Ling to help him hold the saplings he had brought, and then motioned for everyone to stand back.

Zhuge Xun gathered the aura in his body on his fingers, and drew a circle on the ground that could put down the roots of the tree, and raised his hands lightly, only to see the soil on the ground rise from the ground and float on the edge of the pit as if it was wrapped. Zhuge Xun asked Ling to untie the special linen cloth that had been wrapping the roots of the tree, let the roots of the tree be exposed, sprinkle the previously sealed nutrient solution of the thousand-year-old fruit in the dug pit, take out the rune paper from the pocket, draw a few times on the paper with the gas pen, put it in the pit, and then carefully put the tree on the rune paper with Ling, untie the cloth bag he carried, and the soil taken from Long Ye was evenly sprinkled in the pit, and then waved his hand to cover the soil dug out of the pit in the pit, and poured a cup of water from the water source at the root of the tree. And take off a long hair and tie it at the root of the tree.

Whenever Zhuge Xun uses his hair, Ling will worry that one day Zhuge Xun will pull out his hair, and he seems to have given his hair to Hongyue in the last lap, but it has grown so quickly, it seems that he doesn't need to worry too much.

After doing this, Zhuge Xun let Ling leave a little, and then closed his eyes and folded his hands and recited the incantation in his mouth, although others did not know Zhuge Xun's intentions, but they could feel that there was a powerful qi around him and it was getting stronger and stronger, even people who were standing far away could feel it, with Zhuge Xun's open hands, that powerful qi instantly flew in all directions.

Zhuge Xun smoothed his breath and said to the man: "I have temporarily purified this place, Metasequoia has been planted, this place is very suitable for its growth, I hope it can help you." ”

Not only the brute, but everyone present felt relaxed after being blown by the air just now, and there was a fresh smell in the air.

"Mr. Zhuge is really a god!" The brute complimented. "And how are we going to take care of this tree in the future?"

"Don't dare to be. This metasequoia doesn't need to be cared for, it doesn't need to be watered, just let it grow all the time, and its roots will draw their own groundwater according to their needs. ”

"This tree is so beautiful!" He looked at the newly planted metasequoia with a very soft and admiring look. "What's the use of it?"

"It is the tree of purification, which purifies the foul air and absorbs all the miasma that is not conducive to the survival of mankind. At present, the tree is still a small tree, and when it grows into a large tree, the environment of the first area will be purified. Looking back at the emerald green leaves, Zhuge Xun knew that Metasequoia liked this place very much, and if he guessed correctly, the thing underground would also make Metasequoia grow better. I'll tell Ling about 'that thing' later.

"The Tree of Purification? What is that? I still don't understand. "Rourou circled around the metasequoia twice, but she still didn't feel anything special about this tree.

"I was supposed to wait a little longer, but you don't believe me so much, I'll show you what it's capable of." Zhuge Xun said.

"Don't get me wrong, that's not what Rourou meant. We are very grateful to Mr. Zhuge for what he has done. The brute said.

"Anyway, I want to tell you how useful Metasequoia is for you, but it was just planted, so your feelings are not so obvious yet." Zhuge Xun took a leaf from the tree, came to the well, scooped up a cup of water from the well, put the leaf into the cup, and then handed the cup to the mantou. "This is the purified water."

The brute took it and took a sip. "This water ......" the brute was puzzled, scooped up a glass of water from another cup and took a sip, and then looked at Zhuge Xun.

Zhuge Xun nodded. "After three weeks, when the roots of the metasequoia have been deepened, you take seven leaves every seven days and put them into the well, the water quality of the Qinghe River will gradually improve, the metasequoia absorbs miasma, if those mutated aliens drink the water of the Qinghe, it will weaken their existence to a certain extent. You can also change three leaves every seven days, and in the pool in the sixth district, you can make the people who drink the water stronger. ”

"We'll do what you say. Rest assured that Metasequoia will be well taken care of in our hands. The brute said.

"That's on your side. This time I came to the first district with ZERO for this matter, and since the matter is done, I won't bother with ZERO much. Zhuge Xun bowed his hand and took his leave. As for whether the metasequoia can grow healthily, the hair that is tied to the tree will tell you.

"Two more days!" Manrou stepped forward and grabbed Ling's clothes. In fact, I wanted to stay with Zhuge Xun for a few more days.

"Brute, we originally planned to visit other civilian areas after coming to you, but since the tree has been planted, we won't bother you." Ling understood that Zhuge Xun didn't want to stay in District 1 anymore, so he said goodbye to the man.

"Well, since you've all decided, I won't keep you. Anyway, there will be a chance to meet in the future. "The barbarian knew that ZERO and Zhuge Xun had made up their minds, so they didn't want to keep it.

"Brute, I have one more thing to say."

"Please."

"This water source maintains the survival of everyone in the first civilian area, and the role of metasequoia is only to assist this water source, so for the protection of the water source, I hope you will not destroy its original appearance." Zhuge Xun looked around at the surrounding environment, and finally his gaze stopped on the brute's body.

"Of course, water is our life, and of course we will protect it." The brute said.

"That's good." After Zhuge Xun finished speaking, he turned around and walked outside.

"No need to send it." Ling said goodbye to the brute head and chased after Zhuge Xun.

"Kaoru, wait a minute." Ling catches up with Zhuge Xun.

After the two got out of the iron net, Zhuge Xun stopped and waited for Ling to catch up with him.

"Aren't the other trees still in the first district? We shouldn't have gone back to one area first and picked up the other trees. Is there something else going on with you going in such a hurry? ”

"The other trees let me send them back to the store. Because you have to go back to the museum with me. Zhuge Xun grabbed the vein gate in Ling's hand, and without waiting for Ling to object, Zhuge Xun opened the door of time leading to the main hall and dragged Ling in. (To be continued.) )
