Chapter One Hundred and Eight, The Ancient Divine Tree
If it was in the past, Guan Zhong might not have any feelings about these two words, but seeing these two words at this moment reminded Guan Zhong of the cute and naughty girl when he was in the Zhenlong faction, Senbon Sakura.
What is the connection between this female corpse and Chibon Sakura? Among the people surnamed Qian, Guan Zhong only recognizes Chibon Sakura. But there should be a lot of people with the surname Qian in this world, so it won't be so coincidental that this person has something to do with Chibon Sakura. Although Chiben Sakura and Guan Zhong have only been together for two days, Chiben Sakura still left a deep impression on Guan Zhong, although he is not a particularly familiar person, Guan Zhong does not want anything to happen to Chibon Sakura. However, in this world, where is there anyone Guan Zhong knows well?
Thinking of Qianben Sakura, Guan Zhong clenched the jade pendant in his hand, and when the time came, he went to the imperial capital, and after getting the news of the Nine Heavenly Pearls, he would return to the Jurchen Temple, and by the way, he would go to Qianmo City to see Qianben Sakura.
"Boss, how is it? Can you tell her identity from this jade pendant?" Zhang Shanfeng asked when he saw Guan Zhong standing on the side.
Guan Zhong turned his mind and shook his head: "I don't know her identity, let's go find Mingwu." I don't know much about these things in the outside world, so if I ask him, I might know who this woman is!"
"Hmm!" Zhang Shanfeng nodded, holding the female corpse and walking quickly along the stone road towards the mountain.
Guan Zhong picked up the bucket and followed quickly.
Halfway up the main peak of Miaoyin Mountain, bypassing the canteen and passing through several temples, the two came to a small wooden house hidden in a bamboo forest. The bamboo leaves were scattered, all over the ground, like blankets, and Guan Zhong and Zhang Shanfeng stepped on them, making a "rustling" sound. This small cabin is Mingwu's residence, and just like Mingwu's quiet character, the place where he lives is also quiet.
Guan Zhong knocked on the door and reported his name. Then the dim light lit up inside the wooden house, and there was a slight sound, and Mingwu opened the door in his single clothes.
When Mingwu opened the door, the orange light in the room shone out and reflected on the female corpse held by Zhang Shanfeng. Mingwu saw the stunning face of the female corpse, and was stunned for a moment, and then turned to soberness.
Guan Zhong saw Mingwu's look in his eyes, and sighed in his heart, sure enough, Mingwu is a person who sincerely cultivates Buddhism, and he can resist the natural charm of this female corpse. Even if it was himself, he was almost confused by the charm of the female corpse before.
"Is this ......?" Mingwu asked in surprise as he came to his senses.
Guan Zhong hurriedly told Mingwu the specific situation of the female corpse found in the Miro River, and also told his own analysis. Of course, Zhang Shanfeng strongly objected, saying that the female corpse was not dead and still breathing. Guan Zhong was helpless, so he just spread his hands.
Mingwu frowned tightly, and after taking the jade pendant handed by Guan Zhong, he looked at it carefully, and his face suddenly became strange.
"What's wrong?" Guan Zhong certainly saw that Mingwu was feeling, and asked.
Mingwu wiped the sweat from his forehead and said, "I think you haven't heard about the Ancient Divine Tree. It was only during a chance reading of a classical book that I saw that the book recorded the deeds of the ancient sacred tree. Linked to the verses on this jade pendant and the word 'Thousand Clans', I can be sure that this woman is a member of the Sakura clan of the Ancient Divine Tree!"
"Ancient Divine Tree!?" Guan Zhong and Zhang Shanfeng glanced at each other, both of them were lonely and unheard of people, how could they have heard of any ancient divine trees.
Mingwu also saw that Guan Zhong and Zhang Shanfeng didn't know anything about this, and continued: "Ancient books record that when there was a flood in ancient times, there was a sacred tree growing between heaven and earth. The sacred tree absorbs the essence of the sun and the moon, absorbs the aura of heaven and earth, and evolves with thousands of years of evolution, and finally obtains divine wisdom and incarnates into an adult. After the sacred tree took on the human form, it did not distinguish between genders, and began to multiply and expand by sowing seeds.
"As the number of tree people grew, there were class divisions, and like the human race, they had princes and generals, and they began to divide the land and fight endlessly. In the end, in the process of mediating the war, the sacred tree was exhausted and eventually withered and died. After that, there was a lot of war between the treants. Eventually, two different trees evolved among the Treants, the Cherry Tree and the Willow Tree, both of which were more powerful than all other tree species, and the various tree groups were gradually absorbed by the two races. In the end, it was a decisive battle between the Sakura clan and the Willow clan. However, no one knew what happened in the decisive battle, and the two powerful races disappeared and disappeared seemingly overnight, causing other species to rise on the earth. If these two treant races hadn't disappeared at that time, I'm afraid this world wouldn't be dominated by humans, and it wouldn't be the turn of humans to control them.
The verses on this jade pendant describe the cherry tree family and the willow tree family. 'Thousands of cherry trees are blooming, and ancient willow catkins are messy'. Isn't that exactly the cruel situation of these two races being talked about? The Sakura clan is surnamed Qian, and the Willow clan is surnamed Gu. Among the current human beings, the Qian clan and the Gu clan still regard themselves as their descendants. As for the truth or falsehood, there is no way to know. Of course, this is also my conjecture after seeing this jade pendant, maybe it's just a coincidence. However, judging from the strange aura of this woman, I think that the ancient records are true.
"If this woman is really a descendant of the Qian clan, that is, the Sakura clan, then it is not surprising that the baby in her belly can survive in the dead corpse!" Ming Wu said, but like Guan Zhong, he no longer dared to set his eyes on the female corpse.
"What!?What do you mean, this woman is really dead!?" Zhang Shanfeng didn't care about the big nonsense Mingwu said at all, but when he heard the end, his eyes rounded.
Mingwu nodded slightly, and said, "Yes, this woman is indeed dead, and the fetus in her womb is alive!"
Zhang Shanfeng didn't believe that this woman had died at all, and now that he had been confirmed by enlightenment again, his heart suddenly sank to the bottom of the water, and he had an unusually sad feeling, as if he felt sorry for the destruction of good things.
"So what to do next?" Guan Zhong asked, but he felt strange in his heart, Mingwu was only a disciple-level monk, why could he see the condition of this female corpse at a glance, although he told him his analysis, but he didn't feel the snort of the female corpse like Zhang Shanfeng to confirm that this woman was dead, which was very strange.
"This woman has a natural charm that must not be seen by others! I wanted to let me be the best, but I am also very jealous of her charm. The courtyard where Asago lived was already vacant after it was renovated, so why don't you put it there!Tomorrow I will inform the temple and the guardian of this matter, and let them set up an enchantment in that courtyard, and then wait for the birth of the fetus in this woman's womb!" said Mingwu with a solemn expression.
"I always feel that the fetus in his womb is unknown, why don't I tell Zen Master Qingyun? Let him take care of this female corpse, I feel down-to-earth!" Although Guan Zhong was satisfied with Mingwu's arrangement, he still felt that it was inappropriate.
"Don't hide it from Feiqi, Abbot Qingyun has been wandering away as early as when he sent you off that day! I don't know when I will return again, but when he was leaving, he instructed us not to reveal the matter of his departure, so as to prevent some monks in the temple from doing anything wrong!"
"Uh!" Guan Zhong nodded slightly, thinking a little in his heart, presumably when Zen Master Qingyun listened to what he said, he had some understanding and then sought an opportunity to break through, I hope he can break through to become a Buddha, if he becomes a Buddha, maybe he can help himself recover his strength, but, no, if this old bald donkey becomes a Buddha, it is not a flight, and the person who becomes an immortal still wants to fly to the fairyland, and the person who becomes a Buddha must also enter the Buddha realm, I am afraid that he will never come back. With his current recovery speed, it would take until the Year of the Monkey to recover his peak strength in the Mahayana period! Guan Zhong thought and couldn't help but feel extremely distressed.
"Let's go!" Mingwu closed the door and led Zhang Shanfeng towards the courtyard where Qianwu used to live. Guan Zhong then followed.
After placing the female corpse in the chamber. Mingwu also made Guan Zhong and Zhang Shanfeng no longer have to carry water. The three returned to their respective residences to rest.
Guan Zhong didn't fall asleep all night, and he was worried about the identity of this female corpse, and he didn't know if this female corpse had anything to do with Chibon Sakura. The Thousand Clan is also the Sakura Clan, and the name of Senbon Sakura clearly indicates that she is a cherry tree at all. In other words, Senbon Sakura is really a member of the Sakura family. If this woman had an accident, would it have an impact on Senbon Sakura? But Senbon Sakura didn't have the natural charm of this woman, so what was going on? This made Guan Zhong very distressed. The second is that the improvement of his strength is too slow, is it after a while, after a little strength, he should continue his eastward journey. Be careful along the way, and then change your outfit to avoid the Li and Qian families. Even if he was really discovered at that time, it would be a big deal to take off the Nine Shadows Heaven Bead, Guan Zhong really didn't believe that his strength would not skyrocket after taking off the Nine Shadows Heaven Bead.
In Guan Zhong's thoughts, unconsciously, the sky lit up. Just as Guan Zhong was about to take a nap, there was a knock on the courtyard door, and a sharp voice called Guan Zhong's name, which made Guan Zhong feel a little annoyed. Listening to this voice, Guan Zhong knew that it was the bitter and mean Kongming. Although Kong Wu died, and some other monks who had insulted Ke Ao also applied to leave the main peak, Kong Ming was not afraid of being retaliated against by Guan Zhong and Zhang Shanfeng, so he still stayed here. However, since the incident of Keao and Ciao, Kong Ming has been much more honest, and because Zhang Shanfeng and Guan Zhong are always rushing to do their work, Kong Ming has not embarrassed the two. At this time, it was early in the morning, and I didn't know what was going on with Kongming.
Zhang Shanfeng was also woken up by Kong Ming's sharp shouting, scolded with a big grin, turned over, pushed open the door, and shouted outside: "Kong Ming bald donkey! What do you call early in the morning? The water tank was not full last night, and that was also agreed by Senior Brother Mingwu! Do you still want to trouble us?"
"Wushan! Don't be so cheap! You yourself are a bald donkey, what is there to shout! I didn't come early in the morning to look for you, I have something to do with Feiqi!"
"Looking for me!?" Guan Zhong was slightly confused, rubbing his eyes with dark circles, he walked out of the room and walked towards the courtyard door.
