Chapter 346: Cold Desert Wasteland (23)
Shen Bujiao was about to step forward to inspect the situation, when she heard the sound of "squeak-", the sound was not loud, but it was particularly obvious in the silent night, she pricked up her ears to listen, knowing that it was the sound of the wooden door opening and closing.
Shen Bujiao frowned slightly, doubting in his heart, looking at the sky, the clouds drifted away, and the clear moonlight was revealed, covering the earth with a layer of silver frost, who would go out at this point?
Chi Yuan, Chen Ling, or Yang Yufeng, or ......
A rickety figure appeared in her mind, could it be the old woman?
As it turned out, Shen Bujiao guessed correctly, the gray-haired old woman stepped off the threshold lightly, holding a wooden barrel in her right hand and walking cautiously this way, her speed was very slow, so she did look like an old man with inconvenient legs.
Listening to the shaking sound coming from the wooden barrel, Shen Bujiao judged that it should be water, but what kind of water did he pour without sleeping at night?
Could it be that all these humanoid plants were planted by her? Shen Bujiao said that he couldn't understand the old woman's strange hobby.
Thinking about it, the old woman had walked to the nearest humanoid plant to the house, she put down the wooden barrel, hammered her waist, there was a wooden bowl floating above the wooden barrel, she gently scooped up the water in the wooden barrel and poured it from top to bottom, the water slowly flowed down the branches of the humanoid plant to the roots, not a drop fell to the ground.
Shen Bujiao couldn't help but admire the old woman's craftsmanship, it seems that this watering is also a technical job!
If she did, she would have sprinkled water on the ground, and when she had finished pouring one, she went to the next humanoid plant with the bucket, and poured bowl by bowl, without the slightest impatience, and with some satisfaction in her expression.
Shen Bujiao thought, the old woman must like these plants very much, is there anything special about this plant?
She walked over to the old woman's watered humanoid plant, and walked around it a few times, but found no difference from other ordinary plants, except for a strange shape.
The capacity of the barrel was not large, and the water needed for a plant was a little too much, and the liquid in the barrel quickly decreased, and the old woman poured the last few drops of water from the barrel into the roots of the plant, and left with the empty barrel.
Shen Bujiao watched her staggering back disappear into the door, the wooden door was not closed, she should have gone to fetch water.
Fetching water? Shen Bujiao lowered his head and twisted his eyebrows and thought that there didn't seem to be a well in that house......
The bamboo water dispenser is even more impossible, this is not the country of floating tung, where did that thing come from?
After thinking hard and meditating to no avail, she raised her head to see how many humanoid plants there were, and as soon as she looked up, she met a human face, Shen Bujiao was scared half to death, her heart missed a beat, she stumbled two steps, almost fell, and fell down, what is the situation?
Shen Bujiao slowed down for a long time, steadied herself, and found that this was the humanoid plant that the old woman had watered just now, she took two or three steps back, and then she saw that the humanoid plant had completely recovered its human appearance above the neck, and it still maintained the appearance of a plant below the neck.
It was not difficult to tell from his well-defined face that he was a male friar, and the monk was very handsome, with a strange and eerie smile on his lips, and his expression was hollow and numb, like a puppet that had lost his soul.
Shen Bujiao looked at it, the humanoid plant returned to a human form to different degrees, just like the male monk standing in front of Shen Bujiao, he only had one head left in the form of a human, and next to him, the other male monk had a human appearance on the upper body, and the others were in a vegetative state, his expression was more agile than the male monk who only had a head left.
She looked closely at several monks, both men and women, and compared the difference between watered and unwatered.
She didn't wait long for her to observe, the old woman came over with the wooden barrel just now, this time Shen Bujiao didn't wait from afar, but he didn't dare to get too close, for fear that something would happen, in case the old woman had some unknown magic weapon that could detect herself, at least the chance of success was greater.
After watering the second trip, the old woman touched the humanoid plant with satisfaction, the corners of her mouth grinned, and she looked very happy, "Good buds, grow up quickly, and then you will have great power." ”
She said to the plant with only one head left, "Keep it up, and I'll be on the verge of success." ”
The water was quickly watered, and the area of the humanoid plants that were watered this time had expanded again, and Shen Bujiao planned to take a good look at what the situation was.
The old woman left with the bucket again, and Shen Bujiao controlled the "body" to float into the air, estimating the number of humanoid plants, about a hundred people.
Falling to the ground, looking at the first watered plant, thinking carefully, the old woman ran back and forth four or five times before and did not finish watering, Shen Bujiao took the trouble to look at the past one by one, and the emperor lived up to his painstaking efforts and finally sorted out the information he wanted.
The humanoid plant is roughly divided into three stages, the first stage is that the old woman used an unknown method to "plant" the monk here, at this time the monk is still thinking clearly, the feet seem to be rooted in the ground, the body cannot move, but the mouth can move.
The fourth time the old woman watered a humanoid plant, the humanoid was moistened by the water and regained its human form, which was the most humanoid monk Shen Bujiao had ever seen, it was a woman dressed in green, and the plant only reached her ankles.
When she revealed her human form, she immediately scolded the old woman, her eyes dancing with angry flames, eager to peel off the old woman's skin and bones, the old woman turned a deaf ear to her abuse, and looked at her with a smile, as if she was looking at a beautiful cargo.
The second stage is like the male monk I saw earlier, his body has been replaced by plants, it seems that his consciousness has been erased, his eyes are empty, he has no perception or reaction to the things around him, and even the woman roars angrily can not make the monk's brow move.
If the second stage is the transformation from a human to a plant, then the third stage is the transformation from a plant to a human, but at this time, in addition to looking like a human, there is no resemblance to a living person, saying that it is a human being, in fact, it is more like a puppet, expressionless, unconscious, and the blood vessels of his exposed skin are also replaced by the rhizomes of plants.
His skin was a little thin, and the plant roots inside his body could be seen, Shen Bujiao frowned, how could he feel that these monks looked like plants...... Parasite?
This quickly reminded her of the scene of an underground cave, where plants burst out of the woman's body......
So far, she has only seen three stages, whether there is a fourth stage, the fifth stage is not yet known, the old woman came out of the house again with a wooden barrel, watered the remaining plants, and gradually Shen Bujiao made an amazing discovery, humanoid plants really have a fourth stage!
