It is difficult for trees to grow from the bare stumps, and even if small grass and trees grow in the tree pits, it is not known when the road will grow into strong trees, so it is cut down. Although the side branches and branches have been cut off, the original trunk of the tree is still there. As long as the main trunk exists, it can continue to absorb nutrients from the soil and grow side branches and branches again, so that all woodcutters can have firewood to collect at all times and thus make a living. One is recycling, which can benefit future generations, and the other is a one-time felling, which completely cuts off the way to survive. It is very clear which is better and which is inferior.

"Xiao Chuan, what are you thinking? No matter how much we use these rootless trees, it will not affect the foundation of the trunk, so as long as all the woodcutters cut down those rootless trees, this forest will be enough to feed many generations. The woodcutter saw that Aokigawa had stopped and did not continue to chop wood, so he asked. At the same time, he said a few words to himself.

"Yes, if we cut down trees in this way, then this forest can naturally feed a lot of people. By the way, Grandpa Qiao, what is a rootless tree?" Aoki Kawa came back from his contemplation and nodded yes. At the same time, I am curious about what a rootless tree is. "These are rootless trees, and the ones you cut down are not rootless trees. The so-called rootless wood is those that have no roots, but those branches that grow on the main trunk. Such trees did not come into contact with the soil in the first place, but only had a certain relationship with the trunk, and thus survived. Therefore, we woodcutters generally call these trees and side branches rootless trees. The woodcutter saw that Aoki Chuan didn't know anything about rootless trees, so he gave a brief explanation. "Yes. Rootless trees, the moment I was distracted, I felt that these trees were a little different. Now it seems that the biggest difference between these side branches and the main stem is whether they are in contact with the soil. If you want to grow into a towering tree,

It must have a solid foundation to be able to absorb the nutrients in the soil. And these branches can only grow through some nutrients distributed by the main trunk. It's like asking for food and relying on alms from others, and if they give more, you will be able to eat. If people don't have food to eat, how can they give it to you?

Naturally, it is difficult for you to keep your food and clothing warm. The same is true for rootless trees. Relying solely on the nutrients from the main trunk to give alms, it is impossible to grow into a towering tree under any circumstances, and it can only be cut down by woodcutters and used as firewood for cooking. And those trees that have strong roots. After a period of time, when they grow into tall trees, they can be used as useful materials for building houses and boats. Aoki Kawa listened to the woodcutter's explanation. Suddenly there was a feeling of opening up. By contrast. Aokigawa found that there is an essential difference between a tree without roots and a trunk tree, that is, if you want to make a difference, you must be down-to-earth, lay a solid foundation, and then stick to it step by step, rather than taking shortcuts. Like those rootless trees,

Although it is easier to survive than the main trunk when growing, these rootless trees will eventually be used as firewood. It was impossible to use it to build a house or something, because the rootless tree did not have a solid foundation when it first grew. To be precise, they have never had roots, but are just parasitic on the main trunk, and if they continue to grow like this, they will naturally not become useful materials.

Aokigawa looked at the messy rootless trees in front of him and the side branches and branches growing on the main trunks, and for a moment seemed to think of something critical. It's a bit of a feeling of wandering in the world, and if the Phoenix Condor Divine Beast is here, it will be extremely surprised, because Aoki Chuan's situation at the moment is obviously that he has a perception of some things, which is what cultivators usually call an epiphany. Under normal circumstances, monks who have not reached the realm of the power of cotton do not need any perception or epiphany, and can improve their strength to a certain extent by relying on their own efforts. However, once you enter the realm of the power of the cotton, then if you want to advance and improve your cultivation, you must rely on your own perception and understanding of martial arts. Aoki River is only in the late stage of wood power at the moment,

Having such an understanding will definitely be of great benefit to his future cultivation. Previously, through the perception of waterfalls and pools, Aoki River developed its own unique move, the water of Kawazawa. It seems very simple, but the difficulties in it can only be understood by those who are in the midst of understanding. Not every epiphany can be gained, just take Aokikawa's first epiphany in front of the waterfall, which did not bring much benefit to Aokichuan in essence, but when Aokichuan entered Shennongjia to practice, it was due to the previous epiphany plus his own talent and understanding of martial arts, as well as the accumulation of experience, that finally made him create such a powerful move as Kawasawa Water. At this moment, Aokikawa's consciousness is wandering and his mind is wandering.

It is as if you are in a sea of forests, and yes, the Aoki River is like a small grass in this lush tree, and it is extremely small. But the difference is that the Aoki River is on top of a tree trunk, not on the soil. When the breeze blew, the forest sea fluttered like a wave, and Aoki River's body swayed slightly with the trend of the forest sea fluttering. Aoki felt isolated, as if he was in a torrent, and could be swept away by the rushing water at any moment. But as the breeze stopped abruptly, Aoki Kawahara's uncontrollable figure gradually stabilized, and standing on the trunk of a tree, Aoki Kawa felt as if he was in a swamp, and could be swallowed up by the merciless muddy water at any time. On the other hand, the flowers and plants that grow on the soil are still intact, and it seems that the breeze in the forest has no effect on them.

That's because when the breeze blows, most of them act on those tall trees, and as for some of the plants and trees that grow under the big trees, the breeze can't blow, so those plants and trees can grow safely. Not long after Aoki Chuan stabilized his body, the sky suddenly became cloudy, lightning and thunder, and soon the rain fell down, drenching Aokikawa's clothes, and the rain slowly fell down Aokikawa's sleeves and into the trees, and finally seeped into the earth. The Aoki River on the trunk of the tree was completely wet, but the grass and trees that grew under the large trees were still unaffected by the rain. It's still growing as before. Looking at those weak plants and trees, Aoki River seemed to sigh how good it would be to hide under those big trees. But just as Aoki River was about to leave and fall to the earth, the dark clouds dispersed, the breeze stopped, and the sun moved slowly through the clouds. On the other side of the horizon, a seven-colored rainbow appeared. Soaking up the sun and looking at the rainbow, Aoki River felt more relaxed than ever before.

That's right, it was originally wet by rain, and the sky was shrouded in dark clouds, which also caused Aoki Chuan to be in a very bad mood, and even at the last moment, Aoki Chuan wanted to move his body and hide under the big tree. But the next moment the sun shined, and the rainbow appeared in the sky, how beautiful all this was, so that the previous gloomy mood of Aoki River was swept away, and there was only a burst of joy.

"Xiaochuan, what's wrong with you, are you sad about the family again. The woodcutter saw that Aokikawa hadn't moved his body for a long time, and his expression was slightly confused, thinking that Aokikawa was sad when he remembered what happened at home. "Oh, yes, Grandpa Qiao, I can't help but feel sad when I think of my father's dying request. Interrupted by the woodcutter, Aokigawa had to wake up from his epiphany, and immediately followed the woodcutter's words so as not to arouse the woodcutter's suspicions. Although he was disturbed by the woodcutter and had an epiphany, Aoki Chuan didn't blame the woodcutter, after all, people were also unintentional, but Aoki Chuan sighed again and again in his heart, and finally had a chance to have an epiphany, but he couldn't have a complete epiphany. However, some things are destined by providence, if it weren't for Aoki Chuan coming to ask about the woodcutter's ferry, then Aoki Chuan would naturally not talk to the woodcutter, if he didn't chat with the woodcutter, Aoki Chuan would naturally not have an epiphany because of the rootless wood, everything has a cause and effect. Thinking of this, Aoki Chuan also saw it,

So I didn't pay much attention to it. Since Aoki River had cut down a lot of trees, the woodcutter was not ready to cut them down again, and then the woodcutter returned home with Aoki River, a single old man who made a living collecting firewood. and there were no heirs or anything else. So arranging a bed for Aokigawa is not a difficult task. After the meal, the woodcutter went to rest first. Aoki River, on the other hand, came to the wing, which was the temporary accommodation arranged by the woodcutter for Aoki River. Aoki Chuan sat on the bed and did not fall asleep, with Aoki River's current cultivation,

There is nothing wrong with not eating or resting for many days. Aokigawa sat cross-legged, recalling the scenes of the previous epiphany in his mind. The first thing Aoki River saw was a lush forest. Just a light breeze blew, and the huge forest was like a ripple in a circle like half of the sea. The weak grass and trees under the trees were not affected much. "Well, the side branches that grow on the trunk of the tree are rootless trees, and when the wind blows, those rootless trees are fluttering and swaying in the wind.

The main trunks are still standing on the earth and have not been disturbed much, and the smaller trees have been barely disturbed by the trees. This rootless tree is like a swaggering banner, once it is subjected to an external force, it cannot hold itself, and moves with the trend of external force. A tree without roots, a tree without roots, it is difficult to stand without a root!" Aoki River thought of the scene of the wind blowing the forest sea,

Without a strong foundation as a pillar and support, it is obviously impossible to resist the interference of external forces. If you don't have a solid foundation, then you don't have to be too ostentatious, the so-called tree big wind, tree wants to be quiet and the wind does not stop, this is the truth. Rootless trees don't have a solid foundation and want to grow on the trunk of a tree.

At the same time, I also want not to be disturbed by external forces, which is tantamount to a fantasy. If you don't have the strength, don't show off everywhere, you have to lower your posture and act in a low-key manner. Just like those weak plants and trees, there is no solid foundation, so they grow honestly under the big trees, find a shelter, and grow safely. (To be continued......)
