Chapter 109: The Enchantress

Shen Lexi said, leaning sideways to make a way, and made another gesture of please.

The large camphor tree overhead was blown by the wind, accompanied by a string of rustling sounds, and the snow on the branches also fell one after another.

But Zong Li still looked like he was wandering outside the world and was unaware, seeing that the snow was about to fall on him.

Shen Lexi pursed his lips, walked over, first wiped his hand vigorously on his skirt, and then carefully took one of his sleeves, led him to a ridge, and then stuffed the spatula in his other hand into his hand, and said softly: "Mr. Zong, come, dig it and try it." ”

She raised her foot and nodded to the ridge.

Then he raised his eyes, with encouragement, and looked at the white-clothed Immortal Venerable in front of him who was as flawless as a god.

The white clothes of the white-clothed Immortal Venerable are no longer as white as snow at this time.

Like all ordinary farmers, he squatted on the ground without a shelf, not even a small shovel, and just planed it by hand.

Remove the top layer of snow by hand.

Then he inserted his long, white and slender fingers into the soil, and picked out the dead grass that had been trampled by many feet and had now mixed with the dirt one by one.

It was cautious and could not hide his excitement, as if what he had picked out was not some worthless dead grass, but a priceless treasure.

The villagers looked at each other, lowered their heads and bit their ears—

"Mr. Zong, what's wrong?"

"Could it be that the devil is stunned?"

"It's like being possessed by something dirty."

"I think so, otherwise how could I treat the Bitterland Demon as if it were a treasure...... This damn thing, the pig smelled it, and they all hated it. ”

……

A low whispering voice floated into Shen Lexi's ears, Shen Lexi shook his head, and said in his heart: Poor, it's so pitiful.

Isn't it pitiful to guard the treasures of a village, but not even to have enough to eat!

Pity caused by ignorance.

The bitterland demon that the villagers dislike even pigs, just like its name, is really bitter, even the pigs who are the least picky about rations, don't say to eat, don't smell it, if a bundle of pigweed is mixed with a bitterland demon, then the pig would rather starve to death than eat that bundle of pigweed.

This is a precedent, there was a family in Liantang Village in the past, the whole family bought a little piglet with frugality, when the ancestors waited to feed the big, and then raised a month can be slaughtered and sold for money.

But the pigs went on a hunger strike.

That's right, the hunger strike, no matter how fresh the hogweed the owner cut, the pig arched only with its long nose, and then ran away as fast as it could, far away in the corner of the pigsty.

After two or three days, the pig was so hungry that he didn't even have the strength to hum, and the owner was anxious and distressed, so he thought about selling it before the pig starved to death.

The price of a dead pig is not comparable to that of a live pig, so to speak, a pig of the same weight, a live pig can be sold for a good price of ten taels of silver, while a dead pig can only be sold for two or three taels of silver.

On the day when the butcher came to pull the pig, the daughter of the family was reluctant to feed the pig for half a year, so she chopped up the sweet potato vine, mixed some wheat bran, and cooked it for the pig to eat.

It's also a dying meal.

Unexpectedly, the pigs, who had been on hunger strike for two or three days, suddenly pounced on the side of the pig trough and devoured it.

Even the edges are licked clean.

When he finished eating, he shook his short tail at the peasants, hummed and chirped, and used his long nose to arch the pig's trough.

This means that you have to eat before you are full.

The peasant was overjoyed when he saw this, and hurriedly took a basket of pigweed and poured it into the pig trough, and the pig pounced on the pig trough again, but the long nose sniffed against the pigweed, and then walked away again.

The peasant was puzzled, but the butcher had experience, thought about it, picked up a few sweet potato vines from the ground and threw them to the pig, and the pig ate them immediately, and the butcher grabbed the pigweed from the pig's trough and threw it to the pig, but instead of eating it, the pig got up and avoided the pigweed.

It was as if the hogweed was some kind of flood beast.

Not to mention the butchers, even the farmers can see that the pigs do not eat, not the pigs' problem, but the pigweed's problem.

So the family pulled out all the pigweed in the trough, spread it out, rummaged carefully, and finally found a dozen or so grasses that they had never seen before, and the farmer picked out the dozen or so unknown weeds, cleaned the remaining grass, and poured it back into the pig trough, and the pig pounced again, and happily ate the pigweed in the trough again.

The reason why the pigs did not eat was finally revealed, and the farmers were relieved, but also curious about what the dozen or so unknown weeds weed weeds weed against, and even the pigs were disgusted when they smelled it.

Pigs are the least picky eater of all poultry.

So he tore off a small leaf the size of his fingernail, and when he tasted it, his face turned green on the spot.

This is where the name Bittermortar comes from.

Of course, this is just a nickname given to it by the villagers because of its bitter nature, which makes pigs starve to death rather than eat a bite.

And the real name of the Bitter Earth Demon is the Red Lotus Spark - a kind of heaven-sent earth treasure.

The spark growth period of the red lotus industry is mediocre, no different from ordinary weeds, and the appearance is similar to axle grass.

But once it matures, the whole plant turns flame-colored and grows up at a frenzied rate.

After the plant rushes to about one meter high, it will grow a flower bud at the top of the plant, and quickly bloom, the flower has a total of nine petals, the size is like a lotus, and because the color is red like fire, it is called the red lotus.

The scene of the red lotus blooming together is very spectacular, especially in the case of wind, a large piece of red is blown by the waves of the wind and undulates, like a burning and beating sea of flames, and the demon is full of weirdness, so the word "karmic fire" was added to the red lotus.

It is said that when the hell karmic fire burns, it also faintly has the outline of a lotus flower.

This is also the reason why Liantang Village is extremely poor - because the land of Liantang Village grows red lotus sparks.

And the red lotus industry spark is a Tyrannosaurus rex, and its growth habits are extremely domineering.

But as long as there is a spark of red lotus karma, other crops, weeds, etc., basically they can only eat the leftover residues that it eats.

The villagers also noticed this, so whenever they saw this grass in the fields, they would pull it out with disgust.

But what the villagers didn't know was that a red lotus spark could grow thousands of roots, and each root could quickly differentiate into an independent new entity after the main body was destroyed.

The new specimen lurks in the soil underground, quietly grows, and when it spreads its roots, it breaks through the soil, and then is plucked out by the villagers, and then the roots under the soil then differentiate into new individuals, and then scatter new roots......

The reciprocating cycle is more than a hundred times more terrifying than "wildfires can't be burned, and the spring breeze blows and grows again".

And if the crops can't absorb enough nutrients from the soil, they won't grow well, and if the crops don't grow well, the villagers will not have a good harvest, and if the harvest is not good, everyone will have to go hungry...... This is a vicious chain.

The only way to unravel this vicious chain is to honestly let the red lotus spark grow happily until it blooms and withers naturally.

Only the natural withering and death of the main body can make the other roots lurking in the soil also die willingly, and no longer differentiate into a new subject.

And a mature red lotus spark, from the roots, stems, leaves, to the flower plate, can all be used in medicine, and the effect is wonderful, otherwise it would not be called a treasure.

It's a pity that the villagers don't know the growth habits of the red lotus spark, let alone let it grow and bloom happily, and don't even give it the opportunity to grow......

Zong Li could never have imagined that the legendary red lotus spark with a domineering temperament and extremely high requirements for the soil, he traveled all over the country and planted countless times but could not even sprout the red lotus flower, actually appeared in a little-known small village!

In such a way that he would never have imagined!

Zong Li lost his former composure and calmness, and his white robe was full of earthy yellow mud, but he didn't realize it, and looked at the red lotus spark in his palm with only a single root but no beard, and for a long time, he got up suddenly, raised his hand and untied the robe on his body.

The villagers were at a loss.

Shen Lexi jumped up in shock, rushed over and grabbed Zong Li's hand to untie his belt, and said hurriedly: "Mr. Zong! Calm down! ”

There was a panic in his heart, and he said secretly: The spark of the red lotus industry, which has been searching for many years without results, suddenly appears now, and this impact ...... It's probably similar to the effect of the Mark Six lottery in the previous life!

Immortal Venerable, don't get excited and go crazy!

As a result, Shen Lexi's thought was finished, and he heard Zong Li say: "Let go of me!" After speaking, he pushed Shen Lexi away, and Shen Lexi was caught off guard and was pushed by him and stumbled.

Fortunately, Chestnut and Red Peach were quick and rushed over in time to grab her, otherwise she would have been pushed by Zong Li and sat in the mud field.

Shen Lexi said in his heart that anyone who encounters great joy and sorrow will lose control of their emotions, and look, even the god-like immortal venerable has not been spared......

"Oh no! Mr. Zong vomited blood! ”

"Mr. Zong!"

"Sir!"

The heart-rending shout interrupted Shen Lexi's thoughts, she subconsciously looked up at Zong Li, what her eyes saw, her face changed instantly, and she hurriedly broke free from the support of red hearts and chestnuts, rushed to Zong Li's side, and said in a panic: "Mr. Zong......"

"Get out of here!" Zong Li's little medicine boy Bai Su's eyes were red, he stared at Shen Lexi viciously, and said angrily: "You are not allowed to touch my husband again!" You enchantress! What kind of magic did you do to my husband, and why did my husband become like this! ”

As he spoke, he pushed Shen Lexi hard.

Shen Lexi was pushed back by him, and seeing that he was about to retreat into the muddy field, he hurriedly said: "What kind of witchcraft, I didn't use witchcraft...... No, no, I didn't mean that, I mean I'm not a witch......"

"Shut up! You dare to say you're not a witch! If you weren't a witch, why would my husband be like this after a few words to you! Bai Su yelled.

His husband has always been calm and self-controlled, and even his joys, sorrows, and sorrows are rarely shown on his face, but what about this woman?

The woman bewitched him with a few words, and his husband lost his mind, and he didn't say anything about the mud with his bare hands, and stuffed the wild vegetables stained with mud into his mouth...... Now it's bleeding!

What a fairy sister, this woman is clearly a fairy sister!

The more Bai Su thought about it, the more angry he became, his angry head and face turned red, and his eyes almost erupted with flames.

The villagers who had just eased their attitude towards Shen Lexi also glared at Shen Lexi angrily again at this time.

There are already quite a few people quietly bending down to pick up stones and break branches to make weapons.

Others went back to the village to move the rescuers.

Malicious intent came to the face.

Shen Lexi knew that the Lingluan in the sea was like a hungry glutton, with two long pointed mouths open, happily devouring these malice.

And as Lingluan absorbed more and more malice, a layer of fine fluff began to emerge on Lingluan's bare pink skin, and its volume was also expanding at a speed visible to the naked eye, like a balloon that was inflating.

Embodied in Shen Lexi's body, it was as if a hurricane had drilled into her body, flowing wildly in her limbs, screaming wantonly, her blood gushing to the limit, her temples jumping suddenly, and something in her throat and eyes kept surging upward, as if as long as she opened her mouth, her internal organs would immediately fly out of her mouth.

Seeing her like this, the red hearts on the side turned white with fright, and cried: "The princess, the princess!" What's wrong with you, princess! ”

The chestnut also scared the six gods.

At this moment, someone suddenly screamed, "Look! Her eyes were bleeding! ”

"Ahh It really bleeds! ”

"She's a witch!"

"Kill the witch!"

"Kill her!"
