Chapter Thirty-Six: The Hidden Story
The crater was surrounded by piles of white bones, broken or whole, a skull pressed under the thigh bone, and dense roots grew out of the eye sockets, making the pale eye sockets look like a pair of strange eyeballs.
Chen Changsheng's hand kept pulling in the pit, staring at the pit without the slightest fear, two fingers buckled the root whiskers into the skull, and as soon as he carried the eye socket hard, he took the head out of the pile of white bones.
"Whoa!" Large piles of white bones and dirt slanted down, and the crater was buried in an instant, but a finger-sized hole was exposed in the loose dirt.
Looking at the inexplicable hole, Chen Changsheng only had one thought left in his mind, dig it, as long as this hole is dug up, all the stupidity will be broken.
Driven by his will, Chen Changsheng closed his bloody fingers and began to dig again.
The soft soil was much easier to dig than at the beginning, but there were still many small stones that were constantly embedded in the broken flesh between Chen Changsheng's fingers.
Feeling the pain from his fingertips, Chen Changsheng's face was still calm, and the movements in his hands were a little faster again, and after a while, he pushed away the thick layer of soil.
Under the shade of the tree, Chen Changsheng half-knelt on the edge of the pit, his eyes looked at the thick rhizomes in the white bone bushes, his eyes were full of confusion, and he muttered in his mouth: "Earth Spirit Root." ”
"It hurts, it hurts." The burning sensation spread throughout Chen Changsheng's body, and a solidification from the inside to the far began to spread from the abdomen.
Tearing the Dao robe on his body, he made a "stab" sound, and the abdomen covered with wood lines appeared in front of Chen Changsheng's eyes, just like the shriveled wooden legs of the old man Li.
For a moment, Chen Changsheng only felt a thin line running through his mind, connecting everything that had happened, and flying towards the uninhabited darkness in his mind.
Chen Changsheng's face suddenly turned hideous, his fingers scratched at his head, the stones embedded in his fingers cut through the skin, and the blood mixed with his fingers left one blood mark after another on his face.
"You are all liars, pay me back the shop, and pay me back Bai Ruoqing!"
The thin lines of memory illuminated the no-man's land in Chen Changsheng's mind, and the pictures after the truth was revealed ran through them, and at the end was a Chen Changsheng who roared up to the sky, but his eyes were full of stupidity.
"There is white in black, but white is still black." Chen Changsheng put down the palm covering his head, his face gradually became calm, and while buckling the stone embedded in his fingers, he said to himself to the ancient tree: "The second version of the story will be told by me. ”
Saying that, Chen Changsheng's movements at hand stopped, and combined with what he had seen and heard in the past few days, he fell into deep thought.
The story of the millennium of the tree is very fake, but a good lie is always a mixed bag.
Trees can indeed control people, but instead of branches, they use people's hearts, and ginseng fruit can make people immortal, but they must be taken once a month, otherwise the whole person will slowly turn into a tree man.
However, if people want to live forever, they need a large number of living people to nourish the ginseng fruit tree, but there are many monks and little porridge, and people from other villages cannot maintain longevity at all, so someone put forward a set of rules, that is, the people of the village who are sick must sacrifice to the trees in exchange for ginseng fruits.
Lao Li Tou naturally ate ginseng fruit in the village, so he had to obey the rules, but his son fell ill later.
On the one hand, there is family affection, and on the other hand, the rules are immortal, and Old Man Li naturally chose the latter, buried his son under the tree, and exchanged it for ginseng fruit to extend his life.
But if you want to live forever, you can't rely on the ginseng fruit tree alone, so Old Man Li inquired around, and finally got the secret, that is, if you take the earth spirit root under the tree, you can get eternal life, but the spirit tree will fall into a deep sleep for half a year.
Old man Li, who got the secret, was already crazy, and he no longer cared about the life or death of others, so he took advantage of the night to dig up the earth spirit root, but found that he could only dig up the soil and could not pick the earth spirit root, so he could only maintain his usual life.
It wasn't until the arrival of Chen Changsheng and the others that Old Man Li saw hope again, and through Bai Ruoqing's matter, Chen Changsheng helped him get the Earth Spirit Root.
"It's so calculated." Chen Changsheng took away the hand that couldn't get close to the Earth Spirit Root, drowning the bones on the ground and the dirt all over the ground, and sighed softly.
After restoring the scene to its original state, Chen Changsheng looked at the door that was still closed, looked back and saw the black Ganoderma lucidum on the field on the side, and raised his feet to pass.
"Nope." Just as he was about to walk over, Chen Changsheng only felt that his heart was beating wildly, as if it was about to crack open in the next moment, and a sense of crisis quietly rose in his heart.
"Don't run the ball!" took out the thatched ball mixed with various stains from his arms, Chen Changsheng sat on the ground, his eyes were stupid, and he gently pushed the ball forward.
The thatch ball kept rolling in front of Chen Changsheng's eyes, Chen Changsheng pretended to be stupid, dragged one leg on the ground and kept rubbing, and his hands were propped up and chased forward while chasing after him.
"Come here, take your medicine."
When he grabbed the ball in his hand, Chen Changsheng heard the shout of the female fairy chief, and after confirming that he had hidden the emotion in his eyes, he turned his head slowly, and a stupid smile appeared on his face: "It's here!" ”
Reaching out and taking the ginseng fruit from Lingzhi's hand, Chen Changsheng learned from the previous way and swallowed the fruit into his stomach little by little.
"Wood, my stomach just turned into wood." Chen Changsheng noticed that the female fairy elder's gaze had been staring at the broken Dao robe, and he was speaking in vague words, and a little crumb of ginseng fruit spewed out of his mouth from time to time.
"Isn't your stomach fine? I must be tired, just go back and get some sleep. The female fairy chief dispelled the doubts in her heart, said in a gentle voice, picked up Chen Changsheng, who had already eaten the ginseng fruit, and walked towards the courtyard.
"Whew." Closing the door of the guest bedroom, the stupidity in Chen Changsheng's eyes instantly dissipated, he took out the ball from his arms and threw the wooden stick on the ground together, knocked it with his hand to make a slight sound, and was thinking about how to get out of here in his mind.
Chen Changsheng came up with two methods, one was to continue to lurk in the Ren Medicine Sect, and wait until he got the earth spirit root or strength to break through the gods, and then ran away from the worry of his life.
The second is to throw a rat trap, using their own lives as a threat, they will be afraid of the Gudao sect, and can only let themselves go, but they will die after a month.
After weighing the pros and cons, Chen Changsheng decided to continue to lurk in the Ren Medicine Sect.
Now that he has decided, in order to be more safe, Chen Changsheng wiped his saliva in the direct sunlight, relying on the reflection of the water surface, constantly practicing the stupidity in his eyes, and smiling against the smile in his memory.
