144 On Timber
"Oh my God, what's going on?"
Gu Fan stood at the door of the courtyard and exclaimed, but in one night, he didn't dare to recognize his own yard.
Because today is the Mid-Autumn Festival, my daughter has a holiday at home for the holiday. Gu Fan got up early and wanted to go to the vegetable market to buy some fresh vegetables, so he came to the middle of the courtyard to take a look.
At this glance, he realized that the courtyard had become unrecognizable.
Overnight, the elven vines had climbed half of the wall, and there were seven more budding overlord flowers on the wall.
And in the flower bed in the middle of the courtyard, a tree appeared very suddenly. Gu Fan first looked at its trunk, which was thicker than his arm, then at its height of more than five meters, and finally looked up at the canopy with a maximum diameter of more than four meters.
Each leaf is verdant and dripping, with a faint glow in the veins.
Affected by the glow of the veins, the texture of the branches and leaves of the World Tree is also different from that of normal plants. Gu Fan had carefully observed, and after magnifying it a million times, he found that every bit of subtle golden light was composed of countless energy runes.
Those runes looked like oracle bone inscriptions from the ancient flood period, and even with the chaos algorithm in his body, Gu Fan still couldn't fully decipher the meaning.
The only information he analyzed was that each leaf was an efficient and functioning formation. Each leaf is endlessly drawing all kinds of energy from the outside world.
"Good morning, my lord. "Ehna was fetching water from the moon well nearby, and she was carrying a large bucket and pouring it down to the base of the tree.
As soon as the water of the pond containing the magic of the moon touched the earth, it immediately seeped into the roots of the tree, and it was absorbed in the blink of an eye.
At the moment when the big tree was absorbing water, Gu Fan seemed to hear the cheers from inside the heart of the tree, and the World Tree showed extremely happy emotions.
"This is what you said about the World Tree, which grew in less than a day?" Gu Fan was about to reach out and stroke the trunk of the tree, but Ehina hurriedly stopped his hand: "Lord Lord, please don't touch the World Tree when you have just watered it." The powerful and bloody murderous aura in your body will affect the growth of the little tree. If you want to touch it, you have to wait five minutes after watering. ”
Small trees grow?
Gu Fan looked at its trunk and said half-jokingly, "This tree is not too small, is it?"
"It's still very small compared to what it used to be, and when it was in the Wind Whispering Forest, the main trunk of the World Tree was three meters thick and more than fifty meters high. Ehina said with a look of fascination, "Even if I sleep under a tree in the form of a dragon, the shade of the tree can cover me from head to toe." ”
"It's a pity that the World Tree seems to be a little unadaptable, and it can only grow as big as it is now, and it is bound by the laws of the world. ”
Gu Fan looked at his courtyard, the square castle courtyard was only fifty-six meters wide, a total of more than three thousand one thousand square meters. According to Ash, when the World Tree grows, it will only cover the entire courtyard.
Luckily it doesn't grow anymore! Otherwise, I wouldn't know how to explain its existence to the outside world.
Just when he was deep in thought, the exclamation of the little girl came from behind him: "It turns out that the real Jianmu is like this." ”
"What did you say?" Gu Fan turned his head in a voice: "Meng Meng thinks this is Jianmu?"
"That's right," the little girl pointed to the crown of the tree and said: "The Classic of Mountains and Seas said: There is a tree, green leaves and purple stems, Xuanhua Huangshi, the name is Jianmu, there are no branches, there are nine dragons on it, and there are nine wolfs below, in fact, it is like hemp, and its leaves are like mangs. ”
This passage is easy to understand, the building wood is a tree with green leaves, a purple trunk, black flowers and yellow fruits.
The trunk is bare, with nine branches branching in the canopy layer of the large tree and nine roots under the base. Nine hearts on the top, nine arrows on the bottom, authentic nine hearts and nine arrows.
In many folklore, Jianmu is also the only way for people to ascend to the fairy world, and through Jianmu you can touch the abode of the gods.
The above vernacular texts are all casually nonsense by Gu Fanwang Wenshengyi, and are highly despised by his daughter: "Nine is extremely numerous, and nine here should be translated into many, not nine branches." ”
"I don't care if it's nine branches, but it's an eye-opener for me. Gu Fan hugged his daughter lovingly: "The Book of Mountains and Seas is a classic book of the pre-Qin Dynasty, and the content in it is very condescending, how do you understand it?"
Gu Meng showed an innocent smile to his father: "If you don't understand, you can learn by yourself! Mengmeng is very smart." Now that the Internet is so rich, you can learn it as soon as you learn it. ”
When the father and daughter were discussing the Classic of Mountains and Seas, Eshna sat on the side and listened very carefully: "It turns out that there were also World Trees here before? As far as I know, the World Tree with the ability to connect to the Divine Realm is called the Primordial World Tree or the Origin World Tree, and it is the mother body of all World Trees. ”
"I don't know where the building trees you are talking about grow, I really want to see them with my own eyes. ”
Gu Meng explained softly: "Mengmeng looks at it from the book, I haven't seen the real thing. Dad probably knows where Jianmu is. ”
"Well, according to my analysis of world geography, the so-called Classic of Mountains and Seas is not a geographical atlas. Faced with the question of his daughter's loss, Gu Fan opened his mouth: "It's a plane travel manual thousands of years ago, or an interstellar travel navigation map." ”
"The Jianmu you want to see is not actually on Earth, it should be on another plane or another planet. ”
Her father's explanation did not satisfy Gu Meng, and the little girl waved her little fist angrily: "Dad! Even if Mengmeng doesn't read much, you can't deceive Mengmeng like this." How did the Book of Mountains and Seas become an interstellar guide? There is no evidence that human beings originated in outer space. ”
"Where are you reading less?" Gu Fan pinched his daughter's face: "Whose five-year-old child knows so much? You have surpassed a large number of people, okay? You deserve to be my good baby daughter." ”
After being praised by his father, Gu Meng first grinned and showed a big smile.
Then she seemed to remember something, quickly put away her smile full of joy, raised her head a little haughtily, and said, "Well, no—my mother said that girls should be reserved and humble." Actually, Meng Meng is not modest, I did a little insignificant work. ”
And my mother also said that the little girl who is stronger than Meng Meng appeared eight years ago. ”
Gu Fan doesn't like to hear people say that his daughter is not good enough, even if her daughter herself can't say it: "Mom is talking about your eldest cousin Luo Yao, right? Although her math score is very good, her Chinese level is very poor." Not to mention reading the Classic of Mountains and Seas like Meng Meng, even if you memorize poems, you can make mistakes. ”
"Mom told me that your cousin recited the Getaway like this. There is a fish in the northern underworld, and its name is Kun. The kun is so big that only FAST can cook it. ”
Gu Meng was not interested in her father's vivid imitation, she was just curious: "Dad, what is FAST?"
"A radio telescope with a diameter of 500 meters, GZ in southwest China. Gu Fan explained.
The little girl pouted: "According to Zhuang Zhou's description of Kunpeng, this pot is still too small to cook at all." ”
