Chapter 17: The Rebirth of a Dead Tree
Ignoring the system, Rowan sank his mind into the stone statue in the sea of knowledge, and realized the supernatural power of hearing Taoism again.
Since he had this stone statue, his way of understanding the supernatural powers has changed from listening to the explanation of the system to understanding from the stone statue, and this change has allowed him to finally have some understanding of the five divine powers of the saint, rather than just staying at the short textual explanation.
In other words, he is trying to break away from the assistance of the system and begin to truly master the five divine powers of the saints, instead of using them as something similar to a game skill.
Relying on external forces to exercise supernatural powers, one can never understand its essence.
"This sage system is secretive, it claims to be an auxiliary system, and it is ambiguous in its answers to questions. At first, I thought it was really a program, and it only answered what I knew. Now that I think about it, there are not too many contradictions, it's actually not reliable. β
After the conversation just now, Rowan had deeper doubts about this saint system, and he kept an eye on it a little, preparing to wait until he mastered more power, and then took out its body to see what it was!
But until then, we still have to solve the current dilemma.
"Of the five supernatural powers of saints, the most complicated thing is to hear the Tao and educate, but after meditating for twelve hours and thinking about it for twelve hours today, I gradually discovered that the complexity of these two supernatural powers is actually just a superficial cover-up. β
"It's like hanging lanterns and gifts on a pine tree, and then giving it a cultural connotation, and it becomes a Christmas tree! β
"If you strip away the external appearance of the two supernatural powers of hearing and indoctrination, what remains in the end is the most essential thing of these two supernatural powers!"
"That is not to seek the truth, to absorb wisdom, nor to educate and nurture all beings. It's just absorbing and imparting!"
"Hearing the Tao is absorption, and edification is giving!"
"That's the essence of the thing. β
"As long as I use the Qi of Divine Virtue, I will be able to bring out the essence of these two supernatural powers!"
Rowan closed his eyes and gently stroked the center of the tree, where the fetus had been conceived.
"I've learned something from you. β
He whispered to the dead tree, then opened his eyes wide, pressed his right hand on the center of the tree, and probed his left hand into the void, and the five fingers seemed to become the branches of the tree, and the golden light came out from his five fingers and pierced into the void!
Then an even richer light was drawn back from the void, flowing into his body along his left hand, and then pouring out from his right hand, all into the heart of the tree!
The left hand hears the Tao, and the right hand instructs.
The left hand absorbs, the right hand gives!
At this moment, Rowan seems to be the other half of this dead tree, sucking the world's nutrients in the dark night to feed this dead tree!
In just a breath, the dying tree is brought back to life!
The decayed bark peels off layer by layer, and new tissue grows from within.
As the nutrients continued to be injected into it, Rowan gradually felt the pulse of this dead tree, which was a very cheerful, like the pulse of a great river!
At this moment, Rowan clearly realized that as long as he continued like this, he would definitely be able to restore this dead tree to the original tall and lush mysterious giant tree!
However, this absorption of the supernatural power only lasted for two or three minutes, and the qi of holy virtue was exhausted.
The light of his fingertips went out, and Rowan retracted his hand, then took a half-step back, reflecting the moonlight and looking at the tree in front of himβit was no longer a dead tree.
It was only two or three minutes of indoctrination, but it had already brought the dead tree back to life, it had completely shed its decaying shell and put on a new coat.
In Luo Wen's eyes, it is a thick tree that cannot be held by a single person!
The roots of the trees break through the surface of the rocks, bringing out the soil underneath, and the thick roots are coiled across the ground, giving the impression of an old age.
Rowan took a step back, and then looked up, only to see that the big tree had grown to a height of five or six meters, and the thick branches that matched the height stretched out, and bright green shoots emerged from the branches, adding infinite greenery to the big tree!
Full of a sense of accomplishment overflowing his heart, Rowan pulled the faceless from his neck, held it in his arms, and looked at the big tree with a happy face, the thoughts in his mind were like the branches of this big tree, extending to the surroundings.
......
Early the next morning, under the repeated advice of the villagers, Zheng Jian climbed the mountain with a sheet, pillow, bedding and a letter handed to him by Zhu Po herself.
"You are going on behalf of our whole village, no matter what the benefactor asks, you must try to satisfy him!"
"If the benefactor is not looking for you, but you are pointed out to go up the mountain alone, it must be intentional to you...... No, it's a recognition of you, if you are lucky enough to learn a little bit from your benefactor, it is also a creation for us to leave the village!"
"In short, from now on you will be a benefactor!"
Zheng Jian thought back to the villagers' instructions, and his mind was confused, and he always felt that there was something in their words, and every sentence was full of ambiguity.
But since he was a child, he spent almost all of his free time reading, so he never figured it out.
When he climbed to a high place, Zheng Jian finally climbed to the cliff, he walked out of the woods with the trunk of the tree, and the sunlight on his head shone brightly, making his eyes white, and he couldn't help but close his eyes.
When he got used to the light, he opened his eyes and saw that his benefactor was already sitting in a dead tree...... Tree?!!!
Zheng Jian's eyes widened suddenly, and he suddenly found that the dead tree that had left an ancient legend in the village had turned into a thick and lush tree!
"How did this tree come to life?"
Zheng Jian opened his mouth wide in surprise, and suddenly half a steamed bun flew from the roof and slammed into his mouth!
He took the steamed bun, and when he looked at it, he found that the three-eyed white-faced holy beast was sitting on the roof "giggling".
"Don't be surprised, don't be surprised, isn't it just the rebirth of a dead tree? The benefactor has eliminated evil spirits and saved the whole village, and has great magical powers. This kind of thing must be a gesture. β
Zheng Jian hypnotized himself repeatedly, and then gradually calmed down, ready to ask his benefactor, where should this futon and sheets and other things be placed?
But before he asked, the benefactor, who had not turned to look at him until he asked, suddenly said, "Go to bed with the futon and other things, and then come to me." β
He nodded again and again, but the image of the benefactor in his heart became more and more unfathomable.
After placing the bedding and other things on the bed, he walked out of the wooden house, stopped before the line was drawn yesterday, and held the letter of Zhu Po in his hand, and presented it to him.
