Chapter 263: The Old Grandfather of Wood
Chapter 262: The Old Grandfather of the Wood
Shenshui Daze is located in the eastern part of the Southern Dynasty with the most water, to what extent, as far as the eye can see, the vast blue is full of water color, and the occasional floating island can even be ignored. The Ouyang family is located on the most central and largest main island in the sunken Daze. At the beginning of the sinking water Daze, because of geological changes, many trees were instantly sunk to the bottom of the water, a few of them did not die after this great change, but grew into a kind of water wood in this deep water, although there is no tree itself that leafy form, but from the fluctuations of the wood elements in it, it can be seen that they are still alive, and grow into a unique kind of spiritual plant sinking water wood in Shenshui Daze.
Perhaps it is the difference between its unique water quality and spiritual power field, if you immerse the nanmu, ebony, sandalwood, etc., which can be immersed in water, it can also be transformed into a kind of wood similar to submerged wood, and it can be regrown on the original basis.
It's like if an arm-thick nanmu that has been cut down is immersed in the submerged water, it will grow into a new nanmu with the thickness of a thigh after thousands of years. Although this growth rate is far less than natural growth, if the wood immersed in the submerged Daze will have a unique charm, which is also the fundamental reason why people in the world pursue submerged wood.
At this time, on the floating ground to the west of the sinking water, several young people were struggling to pull the rope with all their might.
"One-two, one-two, one-two, one-two, eh! - "Four young men dragged on both sides, and there was a conductor on one side. When a few people were sweating, the heavy object they had been dragging was finally pulled out of the mud and out of the water.
The thick log has a layer of luster like grease, which is what it looks like after being immersed in the baptism of the sunken Daze.
The five of them dragged the submerged wood to the floating ground, although it was only about sixty square meters, but the five of them rested and placed this submerged wood was enough.
Several people rested for a long time and wiped their sweat indiscriminately, and the younger ones looked at Shen Shuimu and sighed.
"I really don't know how many hedrons can be sold for such a thick one."
The older grandfather took a deep breath of the hookah he was holding in his hand, looked at the sparkling water in front of him and said.
"Don't lie about it, I've said this sentence a few times, why can't you always remember it."
The young man pouted, "It's not okay to say two words, anyway, it's too much for us to let it appear in the world." ”
The elder coughed twice and knocked the cigarette pouch pot twice. "What kind of blessing do you think this is?! If the ancestors left behind, the sinking wood can't be fished, if it weren't for the current head of the family, it will be counted according to the head, do you think we will take you to fish. Sinking wood is the luck of sinking Daze, and if you catch too much, you will lose your luck! ”
The young man didn't think so, but he didn't dare to say anything more. After all, this old grandfather is the luckiest and most skilled of all the wood-digging people, and it is said that those who follow him can ensure that they are alive, while some people will die in the process of harvesting wood for various reasons. It is dangerous to scoop up wood, but there is no way, the head of the family forcibly recruits, like them, the lowest people, if they don't dig wood, they will face the situation of being driven out of the sinking Daze.
said that he was driven out, but in fact, he was directly taken out of Shenshui Daze, and then directly executed, and then thrown to the most remote mass grave in Shenshui Daze to take up the white bone fertilizer.
Everyone wants to live, and in order to survive, they can only come out to fish for wood.
At that moment, the young man looked into the distance, and as far as the eye could see, a vague shadow was moving towards them.
"Ah Gong, look, do you think it's a ship?"
The old man squinted his eyes and looked in the direction he pointed, but it was really a boat, although it was not very beautiful to look at, but it was simple and precious. Ah Gong is a person who has seen many people in the world, and he can see that this ship is not an ordinary ship, but a spiritual weapon, and it is still of the highest grade.
Whose ship is this? Could it be a child of the Ouyang family?
When the boat came from far and near, he saw four men in the bow. Three men and one woman, the girl looked like a kind eyebrow and smiled.
This group of people is the four people of Ye Wuyue.
"Grandpa, where is the bigger floating ground that is closer to here? We wanted to find a place to stay. ”
The old grandfather glanced at a few people, but even if he was well-informed, he couldn't see the depth of a few people.
"Why did the girl come to sink Daze?"
Night Wuyue doesn't hide it, "It's not until the seventh of July, I want to try my luck." ”
As soon as the old grandfather heard this, he knew that they were looking for the Shadowless Fruit.
There is no shadow on the seventh day of July, and there are many people in the Xuantian Continent who will come to Shenshui Daze on the seventh day of the seventh month of July to try their luck, hoping to find the legendary shadowless fruit. But no one knows if this thing exists or not. When he was young, there was also a grand occasion when the water sank on July 7 and Daze Wanzhou was not empty. But I've never heard of anyone really finding it, and few people have come in the last ten years, but it's not nothing.
Looking at the dress of the few people in the night and the precious spiritual weapon, the old grandfather of Xiaozhou was only sent out by the sect to do the task at that time, so he didn't ask more.
"To the east from here, there is a small island of two hundred square meters, which is the largest in the vicinity. There's enough for you to settle down in. ”
Ye Wuyue nodded, "Thank you, Grandpa." Her gaze paused as she spotted his legs, and pulled out a bottle of elixir from the storage bag.
"Old grandfather, this is a thank you gift, although it is not precious, but it is very effective in removing cold from wetness." After speaking, the pill bottle was thrown over, and when he saw that the old grandfather had successfully received it, he asked Yan Yunshan to drive away.
Looking at the back of Ye Wuyue, the old grandfather was stunned for a moment, and then looked down at the white porcelain bottle lying in the palm of his hand.
How did this girl know that he had cold and dampness, whether this medicine worked or not, this child's heart was enough to show that he was a kind child.
"Grandpa, should we report it to the above?" The young man asked.
The old man said, "When did you talk so much?" It's just that I'm here to try my luck with the shadowless fruit, which year didn't it, when did these people ever be restricted? Don't look for trouble. ”
The young man stopped talking after a sigh, and the other few people were even more old grandfather what they listened to, anyway, what the grandfather said over the years was not wrong. As for thinking? How can a group of low-level people who need to sell their coolies have the leisure to think about that.
And Ye Wuyue and his party followed the guidance of the old grandfather, and really found the larger floating island.
"It's done, let's settle down here first." Night Wuyue jumped off the boat, and I was quite satisfied with this place. Although it is not particularly large, it can at least accommodate the Linglong Pavilion.
Ye Wuyue set the Linglong Pavilion to a suitable size, and Dongli Weiyang also set up a layer of enchantment around this small continent. This barrier has an invisible effect, which can make it a blind spot in people's eyes, and no matter how you look at it, you won't notice it.
After settling down for the time being, Ye Wuyue asked Ouyang Zhihong.
"Master, where does the Shadowless Fruit grow? We walked all the way like this, and I saw that some floating islands have grass and trees growing, and some only have reefs. ”
"The floating land of the three thousand continents in the sinking water Daze is equivalent to a natural array, and these small continents are divided according to yin and yang, and the yin land is the reef land, and the yang land will grow grass and trees. However, some of the yin side will also grow a little bit on the yang side. And what we are looking for is the yang side of the yin land and the yin side of the yang land, because the shadowless fruit grows in the yin and yang good and bad. On the seventh day of the seventh month of July, a plant without a shadow must be a shadowless fruit. However, it can affect the surroundings, and if you see a shadow that fades significantly, you can follow it and you will be able to find it. As for the form of the Shadowless Fruit, it will transform into various forms in order to hide its figure, and to the human eye, it may be an ordinary weed or a rare spiritual plant. We can't judge by appearance, and we can only look at the shadow to recognize the shadowless fruit. ”
"Then Master, what was the form of the Shadowless Fruit you took back then?"
Ouyang Zhihong smiled bitterly, "At that time, life was better than death, the master wanted to die as soon as he died, so he grabbed a rotten bone grass in the mass grave and swallowed it alive." But I didn't expect that this rotten bone grass was precisely transformed by the shadowless fruit, and I later wondered why I ate the rotten bone grass not only did not die, but also offset some of the poison that Ouyang Lin gave me, so I went to investigate, and finally it took ten years to find a description from a fragment of an ancient book. Only then did I know that the plant I ate should not be rotten bone grass, but a shadowless fruit that transformed into rotten bone grass. ”
Thinking of himself who was poisoned by his younger brother and got into the tip of the horns and wanted to die, Ouyang Zhihong couldn't bear to look at him directly, but fortunately, God also felt that his life should not be extinguished, and he actually let him save his life in such a way, and when he woke up, what he thought about was how to take revenge and clean up the portal.
For Ouyang Zhihong's experience, the night without moon is also amazing. Maybe it's fate.
Ouyang Zhihong is the only person who has directly come into contact with the Shadowless Fruit, and he is also the one who is still alive on the mainland who knows the Shadowless Fruit the most. Speaking of it, it can be regarded as the luck of the night without a moon, otherwise if she looks for it a little bit like a blind man touching an elephant, a little bit of groping, I am afraid that she will not be able to find the shadowless fruit in a few years.
On the sixth day of the seventh month, Ye Wuyue and the others spent the whole day traveling back and forth on the three thousand continents of the sinking water, not only looking for suspicious objects, but also remembering the general situation of each continent. This way waiting for tomorrow will be much faster to find the difference, like a game of finding the difference.
Although there are 3,000 states in Shenshui Daze, the smallest of these floating continents is only five square meters, and the largest is only one thousand square meters, and the largest is the main island of Shenshuize, where the Ouyang family's base camp is located. So the number of three thousand sounds like a lot of scary, but in fact, it is not particularly difficult to remember them with the memory of Ye Wuyue's current time.
Now, they are waiting for tomorrow.
