Chapter 39: Bamboo is hard
Banbu followed Yabai to the mountainside for a field trip.
"I feel that these bamboos are similar to some perennial weeds, and they can survive because of their underground rhizomes. ”
Having had personal experience in eradicating weeds in his territory, Banbu knew that certain species of weeds, in order to be completely killed, had to dig into the ground and dig out their rhizomes.
Banbu immediately started digging into the ground along the bamboo shoots, and sure enough, underneath the bamboo shoots were hard lignified underground stems.
Seeing this, Ya Bai said bitterly: "Sure enough, the underground rhizomes are doing the trick, Banbu, this is troublesome, if you want to completely eradicate the bamboos in the territory, you must dig out all their underground stems, which is an extremely time-consuming and physically troublesome matter." ”
Banbu said happily: "Bamboo is hard and not easy to die, which is its biggest advantage!" I understand! I understand why the owner of Jinzhu Mountain chose bamboo as his life seed, and he also cultivated bamboo seeds on a large scale. ”
Ya Bai thought about it, suddenly realized, and said: "Choose bamboo as the life seed, the master of Jinzhu Mountain...... No, the warriors of the Jinping Mountain Range are not afraid of beast warriors attacking the territory! There will be no tragedy like the one that happened with the taro. ”
"That's exactly what happened. ”
Ya Bai said: "It's a pity that the flowering and fruiting cycle of bamboo is too long, which is the Achilles heel. ”
"So the master of Jinzhu Mountain planted bamboo on a large scale, and it has been committed to cultivating new bamboo species that have a short flowering and fruiting cycle and will not wither and die after flowering and fruiting. ”
Ya Bai said: "Li Zhu of Li Zhufeng is a successful case, but unfortunately the three-year cycle is still too long. ”
Madara touched his tentacles in agreement, and continued to dig, preparing to thoroughly figure out the distribution of the bamboo's underground stems.
After successively inspecting more than 20 bamboo species, including Li bamboo, hemp bamboo, and golden bamboo, Banbu has a further understanding of bamboo, and his senses of bamboo have also completely changed.
Bamboo bears a strong resemblance to some of the most resilient perennial weeds.
The branches that grow on the ground do not directly affect the life and death of the plant.
It is the underground stem that determines life and death.
The underground stems grow horizontally, clumping in clumps or spreading into clusters, depending on the variety.
According to the comprehensive conditions such as sunlight, moisture, soil fertility, and the number of existing bamboo poles, the underground stems will grow an indefinite number of bamboo shoots, and the bamboo shoots will grow into bamboo poles.
The underground stems form clumps, and the bamboo poles on the ground grow in clumps, and a seed is sown to eventually grow into several clumps of bamboo.
The underground stems form clumps, and the ground bamboo poles form patches, and a seed is sown, and eventually it can grow into a dense bamboo forest.
Breaking a bamboo pole or destroying a clump or piece of bamboo pole cannot kill the bamboo, as long as the rhizome hidden in the ground is still there, it only needs a rain, it will pump out the bamboo shoots again and continue to grow and develop.
It's like some difficult weeds, cut off the blades of grass on the ground, and soon their underground stems will sprout new shoots, and the more you harvest, the more vigorous and dense it will become.
Cutting grass must be eradicated.
In the same way, to kill a bamboo, you must destroy the underground stems.
Bamboo is hard!
Choosing bamboo as the life species, even if you survive in the Jinping Mountains, where evil beasts are rampant, you don't need to worry about tragedies like Ma Taro happening to you.
……
Yabai's sense of bamboo has also completely changed, after all, it is an external insect, and it is a relatively safe iron knife peak, and it does not have such a heavy sense of worry, so it does not pay attention to this discovery.
Yabai lightly mentioned that the spotted cloth can consider breeding a few more Li Zhu species, and then start the day's work, inspect the peaks around Li Zhu Peak, check if there are any wild beasts migrating over, and hunt two hares by the way when it is dark and give them to the zebra as food.
In a dangerous situation, Banbu, who worries about his future all day long, completely reverses his attitude towards bamboo, and spends a whole day wandering around Li Zhufeng, carefully investigating and understanding each bamboo species, and gaining an in-depth understanding of their characteristics.
Li bamboo is the most successful bamboo species cultivated by the master of Jinzhu Mountain, but it is not good enough to be an ideal life seed choice. The reason is very simple, Li bamboo grows in clumps, the thickness of the pole is only 5-8, the height is only 500-800, and the scale is too small.
Ma bamboo is more ideal, is the highest one of the 57 kinds of bamboo in Li Zhufeng, grows in pieces, the pole thickness is 30-50, the height can reach 4000-6000, 5 to 10 poles are a canopy, the branches and leaves are luxuriant, nestled against each other, a canopy is scattered and distributed, only a bamboo can form a large bamboo forest.
As a lifeflower, hemp bamboo can obtain a massive supply of Force power from a forest.
The advantages of hemp bamboo are prominent, but the disadvantages are more deadly, and it is said that it only blooms and bears fruit once every 100 years. A long cycle is basically equivalent to no flowering and fruiting, and no Force fruit income.
Banbu speculated that the owner of Jinzhu Mountain must have worked hard to cultivate a variety of hemp bamboo with a short flowering and fruiting interval, even if it was shortened from 100 years to 5 years.
Once successful, it can be called a transformative achievement, and the benefits are endless.
The Lord of Jinzhu Mountain should be regarded as a real wise man, but unfortunately, his fate was not good, and he was crushed to death by the metal core that fell from the sky.
"Now, I take over Li Zhufeng, I am the lord of Li Zhufeng, all the bamboo species are mine, I can continue to develop along the route of the Lord of Jinzhu Mountain!"
Banbu decided to devote some energy and time to specializing in the cultivation and improvement of bamboo.
……
Early the next morning, Banbu went out to check the development of the life species as usual.
Growing normally, the speed of the God-given Seed is significantly faster than that of the Normal Life Seed.
After a day and a night of growth, the shoots of the three Xuncao seeds only raised about 5 degrees in height.
The essence is the same as Xun grass, and the young shoots of the god-given seed are also raised by about 5, and 2 leaves are unfolded, and the 3rd and 4th leaves are ready to move.
The color varies greatly, and the leaves of the common xungrass species are broad and thick, green, with light purple veins.
The leaves of the God-given Seed are slender and slender, harder in texture, dark green, and covered with a large number of fine purple-gold veins.
In terms of the rate of absorbing the Force, the difference between the two is several times, and it is not at the same level at all.
However, the common Xuncao is slow to absorb the Force, but there is still a surplus, and even feedback to the zebra to help the zebra grow.
The God-given seed absorbs the Force quickly, like a bottomless pit, not a drop is leaked, all used for its own growth, showing extreme dissatisfaction with the zebra, as soon as it gets close, it goes berserk, desperately releasing its anger.
Banbu replied with even more intense anger.
The God-given seed continues to transmit anger.
Banbu passed on the idea of "killing you".
The God-given seed was immediately honest.
Madara carefully checked all the life types to confirm that they were healthy and strong, and began to exercise his body at the entrance of the cave according to the movements of the "Basic Body Refining Plan".
In the middle of the morning, Li Zhu arrived. Today, it is responsible for patrolling the territory of Li Zhushan.
Li Zhu said: "Banbu, those bamboos cut down in winter have actually sprung up bamboo shoots, and they will quickly grow into bamboo forests. ”
Madara preached: "Yes. ”
Li Zhu asked, "Then are you going to keep them?" ”
"I plan to stay and plant on a large scale in Lizhu Mountain and the nearby mountains to cultivate fine bamboo species," Madara said. ”
Li Zhu said happily: "That's great, Banbu, you have made the wisest choice, I will help you and help you collect new bamboo seeds." ”
"I thank you in advance for your kindness." Banbu promised: "Li Zhu, if I cultivate good bamboo seeds in the future, I will give you one first." ”
Li Zhu was even more happy. It really likes bamboo, and for no other reason than to like it.
