Volume 1 Blue Bird 40 Healing Fruit
The third branch of the giant tree, the inner courtyard of the dojo.
The breeze blows, the leaves above the head rustle, and the shade of the trees moves with the wind.
The tea fragrance emerges on the edge side, the tea soup is light green and thorough, and the aftertaste is long.
"Speaking of this healing fruit, it does have the effect of prolonging life, and you came at the right time, the fruit is not easy to preserve, and the night after tomorrow is the time to ripen." Mu Xin sat on the wooden floor, looking ahead, his eyes distant, as if he remembered something.
"So how do we get it? Please also ask the seniors to show the way. Chen Cheng put down the teacup in his hand and hurriedly whispered for advice.
This is related to Master Shouyuan, and he dare not be contemptuous.
"To be able to teach such an excellent apprentice as you, Master Ling must be extraordinary."
"Master, he has already understood the sword intent, and it can indeed be called extraordinary" glanced at Mu Xin, who was sitting next to him and still looking into the distance, although this question was very abrupt, he still opened his mouth and said softly.
"Actually, thirteen years ago, I was about to die, thanks to the fact that I have an apprentice who is as filial as you, I have where I am today." Mu Xin laughed loudly, and was shocked by countless birds and beasts on the flying branches.
Putting down the teacup, he stood up and strode out of the courtyard.
Chen Cheng and Betty hurriedly got up and chased after them.
Follow Mu Xin all the way up the spiral stairs, during which the soldiers and disciples all bowed their heads and saluted. Mu Xin paused in front of him, and arrived.
The seventh branch of the giant tree, the House of Religion.
There is almost no difference between the branches, the only difference is that there are many guards here, and it is not an exaggeration to say that there are three steps, one post, five steps and one sentry.
"Above is the ninth branch of the temple, and the healing fruit only appears on the ninth branch." Mu Xin pointed to the extraordinarily thick branch above the diagonal and introduced it to the two behind him.
Following his fingers, a branch that was much richer than other branches in Chen Cheng's perception of life breath appeared in front of him.
Before he could speak, a small palace appeared in front of him. There is no decoration on the outside of the palace, but it is still eye-catching. It's as if it's growing out of the trunk of a tree.
The door of the palace opened silently, and a stout old man strode out, holding his hands in his arms.
"Mu Xin, we haven't seen each other for a long time, why don't you come up today and say hello in advance, I'm so prepared." The old man wrapped his arms around, Mu Xin was firmly embraced, and he kept complaining.
Mu Xin's body was stiff, and he didn't dare to use his strength for fear of hurting the old man. still introduced the two of them and said what the two of them wanted.
"Yes, for the sake of Mu Xin's face, I will intercept a healing fruit and leave it to you, but there are conditions for 50 million kroner or you to join the Order." After listening to the conditions of the two, the old man agreed without hesitation.
In a peaceful atmosphere, Chen and the two left, and the final choice was 50 million crowns.
After seeing the two leave, the old man who came out of the palace stretched out his hand to pat his robe, turned around and returned to the palace. Mu Xin bent down to see him off.
Knowing a matter of his heart, Chen Cheng's steps were a little brisker, and it was sunset. The setting sun shines through the gaps in the clouds, and everywhere it goes, it is full of gold. The sky darkened behind the giant tree, and night came.
After simply buying some food, the two returned to the forest sea, where the Spirit of the Giant Tree was waiting for them.
Back in Linhai, night had fallen, the campfire had been lit, and a black cat was lying around the campfire, and the bandages on its body were nowhere to be found.
"Have you figured it out?" Chen Cheng stroked the fur of Eucalyptus Lan with his palm and asked softly.
He was looking forward to what story the cat would bring him.
"Hey, you've saved my life for me, what else can't I say." The black cat sighed, and the gender was not audible in her voice. At this time, the cat's face collapsed, and he talked about his very embarrassing past.
"I've had spiritual intelligence for about 40 years, and I was still very ignorant at that time, and I had the ability to communicate about nine years ago." Eucalyptus Lan looked at the giant tree in a low voice.
Although the Spiritual Intelligence was born very early, it was not cultivated, and it grew very slowly.
"From the moment I was born, I knew that I began to passively accept information from the outside world, and although the range of perception was limited, I also enjoyed people's bowing."
"But all of this was changed by a man who found a strange vine out of nowhere, and he planted the vine inside my body to absorb the nutrients that belonged to me. It parasitized all of my roots, and the speed at which I grew was suppressed by him. When he spoke of vines, the cat's eyes were full of anger, and its paws rubbed against the rotten dead wood under him, venting his frustration.
"Later, he founded the Giant Wood God Cult, and his name is Mu Xi." Chen Cheng was listening with relish, and the sound of gritting teeth suddenly came from Eucalyptus Lan's mouth, and then he said "ha" into the air.
"During this period, my nourishment was taken away, and I was already groggy and did not carry any notes. It wasn't until my mind slowly perfected for a long time that I reawakened. It was a vine that had taken over one of my branches. ”
"After the death of the wood rhino and the emptiness of the guard, I seized the opportunity to distribute most of the life energy and send it into the leopard's body along with the spiritual intelligence. In the past few years, I have always wanted revenge, so I have been attacking the guards. Eucalyptus Lan's eyes flickered with hatred, and it was obvious that she hated the Giant Wood Divine Cult to the core.
"It's pitiful" Betty reached out to stroke Eucalyptus's back, and the similarity made her sympathize with the black cat.
"Didn't you go to see Mu Xin today? He's very strong. At the age of one hundred and twenty, he could still wield a sword against the enemy, but he did it only by the fruit of that vine. Guess what the price of that fruit is? It turned its head sharply, looked at the boy with a pair of cat's eyes, and said word by word.
Chen Yan's face froze, his eyes widened and he exclaimed in disbelief: "There are also side effects? ”
Thinking about it carefully, it can increase longevity out of thin air, but this tree has long been occupied by the alliance for research, and it is impossible to still be under the control of the Giant Wood God Sect.
"You know what? In fact, many tourists who come to the land of giant trees every year go missing......"
The black cat continued to speak, and he couldn't help but think of the professional robbers he had encountered in the Land of Giant Trees that night, were they supported by the Land of Giant Trees?
"The missing tourists are locked up in the giant trees and waiting for the last day of the Autumn Harvest Festival, they are the last catalyst for the healing fruit to ripen." The black cat reveals the ultimate secret of the Giant Wood Cult.
"As for those who have eaten the fruit, it is true that they will live a year longer, but they can only live like dogs, at the mercy of the gods. It's not just a matter of the next fruit, but you also need to take a little bit of the juice secreted by the vine every day during the life extension period, otherwise the fruit will have no effect at all, not to mention, and you will have to suffer from being devoured by thousands of ants. ”
Speaking of the fruit, Eucalyptus Lan was full of disdain, and there was a sneer in her voice.
After listening to the side effects of the healing fruit told by the black cat, his expression was gloomy, he didn't expect that this was just a scam, and the plan to prolong his life and change his senior sister failed.
Getting up and returning to the tent, he took out a rolled-up note from his pocket, plain paper without any markings, but written in Union language.
Muxin surrendered to the church and could not be trusted.
