Chapter 160, useless mushrooms

Although Lu Feng vaguely understood that this phenomenon might be related to the principle of yin and yang, he was not very sure why such a large pool of spiritual springs could be mobilized just by temperature.

Everyone looked at Chu Youwei with puzzled eyes.

Lin Xiaowan asked again: "Sister Weiwei, do you know why this phenomenon occurs?" Is it true that if we deepen the temperature, the spiritual spring will gush out on its own? ”

Chu Youwei's expression was a little thoughtful, and she did not respond to Lin Xiaowan's words, but took the torch from the latter's hand and came to the pit alone.

At this time, the spring water that continued to bubble up in the center of the pit had stabilized, returning to the size of the bowl that Gu De had called at the beginning, and no longer continued to bubble and hoard.

Chu Youwei approached the center with the torch and looked at the spring that had stabilized, and to her disappointment, no matter how close the torch was, the spring water in the ground no longer came out.

Lin Xiaowan also realized something at this time, and said, "Why does it seem to have nothing to do with temperature?" ”

Chu Youwei thought for a while and said: "It shouldn't be irrelevant, but the light and heat emitted by the torches in our hands can only adjust so much spring water." ”

"I don't understand," Lin Xiaowan puffed up.

Chu Youwei glanced thoughtfully at the sky, looked at a bleak night sky, and explained: "Although what we see in front of us is just an empty pond, its internal structure is probably ten million times more complex than we imagined. ”

Lin Xiaowan was surprised: "Is this possible?" This place is so far away from the Iron Breath Bamboo Forest, even if this pond is full, condensing the spiritual spring inside into a line, it can't extend to the area of the Iron Breath Bamboo Forest? ”

Lin Xiaowan also made such a conjecture at the beginning, but reason made her think that this was too ridiculous and outrageous.

Chu Youwei couldn't help but glance towards the middle of the mountain wall, "What we see in front of us is indeed only such a deep pool, but what if there are dozens or even hundreds of such deep pools buried here?" ”

Lin Xiaowan was taken aback, thinking of the underground movements along the way and the sound of water that could be vaguely heard at the cliff entrance, she couldn't help but feel that Chu Youwei's analysis might be right, but even so, she still couldn't figure it out.

"Even if there are really countless deep pools, but after so many years, how do you mobilize the spiritual springs inside?"

Chu Youwei pondered: "To this extent, only the power of heaven and earth, although I don't know how the sword idiot ancestors laid out, but vaguely can feel that the phenomenon here should be similar to the power of the tide, with the change of day and night, attached to the earth with different forces to pull, so as to mobilize the spiritual springs in the deep pools, make it lively, all the way through the supply of the distant iron breath bamboo forest." ”

Lin Xiaowan was puzzled: "Then why can ordinary torches cause some spring water to bubble up, how can this be explained?" ”

Chu Youwei hesitated and guessed: "Maybe it's because of the light and heat of the torch, so that I can feel that it is daylight......

When the words came to his lips, he felt that such an explanation was too far-fetched, but just when he didn't know how to explain it, Lu Feng's words relieved him.

"The light and heat of the torch...... It was caused by touching a device that resembles a 'valve' underneath. ”

"Valve?" Lin Xiaowan and Chu Youwei were all stunned, and they looked at Lu Feng carefully groping at the spiritual spring in the center of the pit, as if they had found something.

Lu Feng pointed to the water under his feet, and said: "There is a large piece of 'red rock chalcedony' at the bottom, blocking the spring, this kind of chalcedony has strong plasticity, once it is forged and condensed, no matter how much it is tossed and kneaded, it can recover its shape within a certain period of time, and the chalcedony will be slightly deformed when heated, so it will lead to this part of the spring water being 'released' out." ”

"At this moment, the chalcedony is back to normal, and because the spiritual water covers it, the temperature of the torch doesn't play a big role."

Lin Xiaowan and Chu Youwei had a flash in their eyes, and they finally understood the reason for this phenomenon.

Lu Feng looked at Chu Youwei and continued: "If you have analyzed it well, the construction here is indeed related to the power of the tides day and night, when it is daylight, under the gravitational pull of the earth, the chalcedony will be squeezed and a larger gap will be revealed, so that the spring water in the deep pool elsewhere will continue to overflow, and the deep pit in front of you will be soaked with it." ”

"Really?" Lin Xiaowan was overjoyed, "Then let's wait until dawn to see!" ”

Chu Youwei also nodded in agreement, looking at Lu Feng's gaze with a deep meaning, obviously never thought that Lu Feng would have such profound knowledge.

Gu De hesitated: "Miss, I'm afraid the young master won't be able to hold on for so long?" ”

Chu Youwei pointed to the puddle of spiritual water that bubbled out, and gestured: "This is enough for him to continue his life, scoop it and feed him, and by the way, pour some into his nasal cavity to wash the residual poisonous smell for him." ”

The guards hurriedly complied.

In the past, Chu Youwei would never be so indifferent, her brother's life was at stake, and she would definitely do it herself, but what Chu Youren did during this time really made her too chilling, and the remaining family affection had already been broken and withered like autumn flowers.

Lin Xiaowan found a cleaner place, and said loudly: "Sister Weiwei, while it's empty now, come over and rest, it's only the first day today, and you have to stay in this realm for more than ten days." ”

Chu Youwei nodded, and after plucking two small white mushrooms from the crack in the rock wall on one side, she sat down beside Lin Xiaowan, took out the handkerchief in her cuff and gently wiped the jade-like delicate little white mushroom in her hand.

Lin Xiaowan's eyes lit up, "Sister Weiwei, this is the 'can't burn' that the master once mentioned, right?" ”

Chu Youwei chuckled and nodded.

"Can't it burn?" Lu Feng couldn't help but be happy when he heard such an interesting term for the first time, and his eyes fell on Chu Youwei's hands, and he saw the mushrooms gently held in his white and delicate hands.

The mushroom is not big, only the width of a finger, compared to the rest of the rock wall, it can be said to be very mini and exquisite, its color is much thicker than the white skin of Chu Youwei's fingers, and it faintly presents a milky jade-like texture, and there is no softness between handkerchief wipes, which obviously has a good hardness.

Lin Xiaowan saw Lu Feng's stunned state, and couldn't help but sneer, "Brother Liyun, it's the first time you've seen this strange white mushroom, right?" ”

Lu Feng nodded, although he said that his experience and knowledge were extraordinary, but looking at the world, there were obviously more things that he didn't know and didn't understand.

Lin Xiaowan explained: "This mushroom is extremely rare, and if it weren't for its fun, I wouldn't be so impressed. ”

"Interesting?" Lu Feng was curious: "How else can a mushroom be interesting?" Can you improve your strength after eating? Or can you burrow into the ground after eating? ”

Lin Xiaowan smiled: "I can't eat it, it tastes sour and astringent, if you really want to eat it, it's very, very troublesome to cook." ”

Lu Feng was puzzled: "What's so interesting?" ”

Lin Xiaowan said: "It can't be burned, this is its name, and it's also interesting, if you don't know how to take care of it, if you just burn it with fire, it will be difficult to damage it for three days and three nights, maybe it will be scalded by the shell that it absorbs the fire." ”

Lu Feng looked at the white mushroom in Chu Youwei's hand again in surprise, looking at its fragile and soft appearance, it didn't look like it couldn't be burned.

Seeing this, Lin Xiaowan raised her hand to take a small mushroom from Chu Youwei's hand, and said loudly: "I'll try to show you." ”

was about to do it, but saw Chu Youwei take it back.

"I'm going to pick up a new one myself," Chu Youwei shook her handkerchief, "I've finally wiped these two clean, and I'm going to take them out to cultivate them." ”

As he spoke, he carefully wrapped it in a handkerchief.

"Stingy," Lin Xiaowan sighed, picked up the long sword on the side, didn't get up, or didn't bother to get up, and with the length of the long sword, he stabbed a palm-sized mushroom under the rock wall behind him.

After simply disposing of the soil and stray whiskers on it.

Lin Xiaowan threw it to Lu Feng, "Brother Liyun, you can bake it with a torch for a while and you will understand why it can't burn." ”

Lu Feng thought that he had nothing to do when he was idle, so he followed Lin Xiaowan's words, took a torch that was still burning on one side, threw the palm-sized mushroom to the center of the flame, and moved it to the point where the flame temperature was the highest with the control of the aura.

Under the cover of the flames, Lu Feng was stunned to see that the original snow-white milk-colored mushroom had turned black in an instant, like a block of ink, and no longer had a trace of luster, under the scorching flames, the fine particles on its surface were still faintly absorbing the fire, but there was no sign of burning.

Lu Feng secretly ran a wisp of fire qi without believing in evil, but it still did not cause any damage to the mushroom.

"Hehe," Lin Xiaowan's smug laugh came, "This mushroom also has another name, called black and white mushroom, the tentacles in the white state are as warm as jade, and in the black state, they are as hot as coals." ”

Lu Feng was stunned and tested it with his aura again, and saw that its hardness was at least at the level of ground quality, and he couldn't help but be in an uproar, it was so difficult to deal with, no wonder it would be called 'burn in'.

It's really worthy of its name.

Lu Feng couldn't help but look at Chu Youwei again, and said curiously: "Such a useless mushroom, what are you cultivating to do?" ”

Chu Youwei explained: "It can't be said that it is useless, although it is not of much use for human beings, but it is used as a nourishment for flowers, but it is a great tonic, in the records of Zidai flowers in the family, one of the nutrients is this black and white mushroom, in order to feed and cultivate Zidai flowers, its fragrance can be improved by at least one to two percent." ”

Although in the nourishment records about Zidaihua, such mushrooms can only be regarded as the last stream, but since they have met, Chu Youwei is also a little reluctant to miss it.

Lu Feng said again: "But isn't it impossible to burn?" Troublesome to deal with? ”

Lin Xiaowan answered, and said with a smile: "It's called can't burn, but the way to deal with it is not to use fire, you try to pour the strength into the little tugging at the root, and tear the little tail under its umbrella, and it will obediently soften." ”

Lu Feng tried it curiously.

I thought it would take some effort, but I didn't expect that it was really as Lin Xiaowan said, after the roots of such mushrooms were washed away, they instantly lost their hardness, and they could be torn without effort.

Although it is still roasted by the fire at the moment, the blackness of its body surface turns gray at a speed visible to the naked eye, and finally stays in a gray state.

Seeing this, Lu Feng pulled it out and threw it to the side, and said curiously: "Can't restore the original white?" ”

Lin Xiaowan smiled, "The vitality that can't be burned is tenacious, and when it returns to its normal temperature, the tail will grow roots on its own and sink into the soil, and it will return to a healthy state after a while." ”
