Chapter 18: Flowers Bloom
Alive, this is Wang Lung's most direct feeling, the seeds of Baiyue Shame have broken the ground and sprouted, and its growth trend can be seen with the naked eye, although it is very slow, but it is growing taller little by little.
Before Wang Lung closed his eyes and meditated to recover, Baiyue's sprouts had broken the ground for a while, and it was during this time that the sprouts had grown more than an inch taller, and if they continued at this rate, they would be able to bloom in one day.
In order to let Baiyue Xi continue to live, Wang Lung knew that his work could not be stopped, and he must continue to provide water to Baiyue Xi in order to promote Baiyue Xi to bloom normally.
Bai Yue Xi has grown normally now, Wang Lung's heart is somewhat relaxed, although it has not yet reached the point of flowering, but his previous conjectures have been verified, just wait another day, water it again and see what the final result is.
The idea is good, but it is a little difficult for Wang Lung to really calm down and meditate, he is always worried that Baiyue will die young, and he can't calm down, and his closed eyes roll twice from time to time, although he hasn't opened it yet, he can also see that Wang Lung's heart is not calm.
Finally put away all kinds of chaotic thoughts, but time passed unconsciously, when he opened his eyes again, Bai Yue was already more than a foot high, Wang Lung saw this, the smile on his face was visible, but when he looked at the pit, his face immediately became gloomy, because it was visible to the naked eye, the soil was very dry, without the slightest moisture.
He gently stroked the leaves of Baiyue Shame with his hand, and looked at its changes carefully, after confirming that Baiyue Shame was still growing, Wang Lung breathed a sigh of relief, it doesn't matter if there is no water in the soil, as long as it is still long, it is a big deal to drip some water.
After reading it, Wang Lung stretched out his right index finger and put it on the place where the branch of Baiyue was in contact with the soil, and slowly closed his eyes. Soon a crystal clear drop of water appeared from his fingertips, and disappeared into the soil in an instant, this time after the drop of water fell, Wang Lung did not move his fingers.
When the last drop of water fell, Wang Lung raised his hand to wipe the sweat from his forehead, opened his eyes and looked at Bai Yue.
At this time, Baiyue was about to bloom, and a longan-sized flower bone was wrapped in the middle of seven or eight leaves. Wang Lung watched carefully, imagining in his mind the grand occasion of the blooming of the hundred moons.
Baiyue Shame King Dragon has seen more than once, there is in the old ghost cave mansion, it seems that there are a lot of planting, this kind of flower in addition to the long flowering time, its fragrance is not strong, the flower blooms eighteen petals, enough to have the size of a bowl, each plant only one. The color is also different, and it can be said that after flowering, the hundred moon is shy, and it is very beautiful.
Looking at the size of the flower bones now, after flowering, it may be smaller than the one in the old ghost cave mansion, it doesn't matter, Wang Lung wants a flower of Baiyue Shy, and there is no problem with Arlinn's size and color. As long as you give Arlinn's flowering Hundred Moon Shame, the Tempering will be passed.
Little by little, time passed. When the flower bones grow to a certain extent, they no longer grow, and after one of the leaves that wrap around it spreads, the flower bones seem to shiver, shiver all over, and are about to unfold.
With Wang Lung's vision, he could see it clearly, and he knew that Baiyue was about to bloom. The eighteen-petaled flower will gradually open, with the outermost eight petals opening first, then the middle six petals, and finally the inner four-petal, regardless of the color of the flower. Each petal has a slight flush on it, like a beauty's blushing face.
Just as Wang Lung was staring at Baiyue and blooming, there were two middle-aged couples walking hand in hand in the miracle space, the male figure was tall and handsome, with starry eyebrows, around forty years old, dressed in a cyan robe, brocade and yellow sash around his waist, and three long beards were slightly elegant. And the lady beside him, dressed in palace clothes, is glamorous, showing the meaning of honor and luxury between a smile and a smile.
They seemed to walk very slowly, but each step was at least a hundred feet away, and they looked as if they were in a hurry, but they were not in a hurry, and spoke slowly.
Suddenly, the beautiful woman paused, frowned slightly, sighed softly, and was about to move on.
"Madam, what's wrong with you?" the middle-aged man asked in a daze.
The beautiful woman shook her head lightly, and said with a faint smile on her face, "It's not your precious son yet." ”
"What's wrong with the little dragon? He's on Earth now, how can Madame sense him?"
"If I hadn't asked you to destroy all the flowers and trees in the Pure Land, how could I see Xiaolong in the Pure Land now. ”
The middle-aged man was stunned and asked, "Xiaolong is in the Pure Land?"
The beautiful woman nodded, sighed lightly and said, "Yes, forget it, let him go, what the specific situation is, you and I will know after we meet the ancestor." ”
The middle-aged man nodded and said: "The stinky boy actually helped outsiders deal with his mother, if he knew the reason, he didn't know what to think, but what they did was meaningless, Mrs. had already calculated this matter in her early years and left her hands behind." ”
The beautiful woman glared at the other party in disgust and said, "Hmph! It's not the amorous debt you originally caused. ”
The middle-aged man smiled awkwardly and stopped talking, and the two looked at each other and walked into the distance.
No one knew what happened in the miracle space, and Wang Lung didn't know that what he had done in the Pure Land had not been hidden from his mother, and all his attention was now focused on Baiyue Shame.
At this time, Baiyue Shame has already opened fourteen petals, and the four petals in the middle are slowly blooming, purple petals, and each petal has a fingernail-sized red halo on it, which is a treasure in Hundred Moon Shame.
There are a lot of colors of Baiyue Shame, but it is necessary to divide the color, in general, there are seven colors, red, orange, yellow, green, blue, purple, red, red is the most common, purple is the most cherished, although Baiyue is not a spirit grass and spirit flower, but purple Baiyue is also the best product that people who love flowers.
Wang Lung didn't expect that he would be able to grow purple for the first time he cultivated Baiyue, and if it weren't for Arlinn's problem, this Baiyuesha would have been able to sell it to someone who knew flowers, at least hundreds of hedrons would still be able to be sold.
Time passed, and when the four petals bloomed together, a faint fragrance wafted into his nose, and Wang Lung's tense face finally showed a smile, and at the same time he breathed a sigh of relief.
It took more than 100 days, during which there was a lot of suffering, the pain of transmission, and the injury of blood loss are still vivid. Now that the flowers are blooming, Wang Lung is in a good mood.
After calming his excitement, Wang Lung reached out to dig Baiyue out of the pit and seal it in the jade box so that he could return to Earth to talk to Arlinn, but his hand had not yet touched the pit and felt a hot wind blow over his head. A shadow flickered away.
All this happened in the corner of Wang Lung's eyes, the speed was extremely fast, the hot feeling was fleeting, and the shadow was gone in a blink of an eye, Wang Lung was stunned, the movements in his hands couldn't help stopping, and he turned his head to look at the side of his body, there was nothing abnormal, could it be that he was dazzled.
He raised his hand and touched his cheek again. The hot feeling was so real, it was not an illusion, Wang Lung wanted to stand up and see what was going on, whether someone was joking with him or something else.
But at the moment when he wanted to stand up, his eyes glanced at Bai Yue Sha, it didn't matter, Wang Lung was directly stunned on the spot, because the top of Bai Yue Sha's branches and leaves had lost their purple. The flowers are gone, leaving only a bare patch of green.
A moment ago, I was glad that I would soon be able to complete Arlinn's experience. But in the blink of an eye, the flowers are gone, what is the use of bare branches and leaves, Arlinn wants flowers instead of leaves, and if she has no flowers to make friends with, everything will be in vain.
Wang Lung thought he was dazzled, and reached out to rub his eyes, and when he looked at it again, he was convinced that the flower of Baiyue was really lost.
"Who is it?" Wang Lung shouted angrily and stood up. This joke is too big, a hundred moon is nothing, if you take it away in normal times, it will be forgotten, this is related to the success or failure of his own experience, and it is not okay to joke about his future.
Wang Lung quickly glanced around. There was no one on his side, and he was the only one in the Pure Land.
No one, there is no trace of purple flowers, what the hell is going on, this is where the center of the Pure Land is located, although the scope of the Pure Land is not large, but it is not easy to avoid his search in a short time, but now it is no different from usual, under the feet is the bare hundred moon shy branches and leaves, the flowers are gone, is it haunted?
Wang Lung turned his head to look at the door of the main hall of the Dragon Palace, the door of the hall was still closed, and the same was true of the other two palace gates, the ghosts and gods said that Wang Lung had never believed that this was not something that ghosts and gods could do.
In the Pure Land, all the people who can come in are relatives who are related to themselves by blood, who will be idle and have nothing to do to play tricks on themselves, it doesn't make sense, none of their relatives know themselves, they won't make such jokes with themselves.
"Stand up, I see you, don't hide it, give me back Baiyue shame. Wang Lung shouted into the empty space, in fact, he didn't find anyone, and the reason why he said this was to trick the flower thief out.
It's a pity that no one answered Wang Lung, and no one stood up to admit it, Wang Lung's eyes turned around, trying to find something different, but he didn't find anything abnormal as far as his eyes could see.
In the end, Wang Lung set his eyes into the distance, where there is a colorful light curtain that protects the existence of the Pure Land, if someone escapes without being discovered by himself, there is only one place to hide, that is, inside the sun outside the Pure Land, but Wang Lung carefully looked at the light curtain around him, except for a little fluorescence flow, the light curtain is intact.
In an instant, stealing Baiyue was ashamed to quietly break through the light curtain and escape to the Pure Land, not to mention that Wang Lung couldn't do it himself, even if he was an old ghost, he could have a master of such strength, at least he had to reach the cultivation of his ancestors, and his own ancestors would never do such boring things, so who would it be?
Wang Lung was depressed, the plan for now was to quickly find the flower thief and snatch Bai Yue Shame back, he didn't think about whether he was an opponent or not, he just wanted to get Bai Yue Shame back, so he raised his legs and walked to several halls.
Wang Lung ran at a fast speed, and soon went around to the back of the main hall of the Dragon Palace, and when he saw that there was nothing abnormal in all directions, he ran towards another main hall.
An hour later, Wang Lung returned to the same place, looking at the bare Bai Yue Shy, his heart was irritable, needless to say, the flower thief must not have been caught, and Bai Yue Shyness did not chase it back, and the flowers that had been cultivated for more than a hundred days were gone, and no one was comfortable resting on them.
Although he was not in a good mood, Wang Lung had calmed down now, he knew that there were some things that he could not control, he had thought about this problem before, it was not so easy to plant Baiyue Shame, perhaps the biggest problem here was not to plant flowers, but to perceive the law of water, but to perceive the law of water may be Arlinn's greatest purpose, but in addition to this purpose, there may be other purposes Wang Lung does not know.
Now the problem has come out again, how to ensure that the hundred moon is not lost after the flower blooms has become a key problem, three seeds are not so easy to get the complete hundred moon shame, so that the seeds bloom is easy to do, the key is after flowering.
Now that a seed has been used, the flower has bloomed, but in the end it is still gone, and if you don't catch the flower thief and restrain it, no matter how many hundred moons you plant, it is impossible to take a single plant.
Actually, Wang Lung doesn't know that Arlinn doesn't have that much purpose, and it's right that she has selfish intentions, but it's not Arlinn's responsibility to lose Baiyue, and even Arlinn doesn't know why it's here, unless she asks the person concerned.
Wang Lung squatted down and took a closer look at the bare Baiyue shy, and soon he noticed something special, reached out and gently twisted it where the flower was blooming, and then put his finger in front of his nose and sniffed it.
The scorched taste, the hot feeling, thinking of this, Wang Lung turned his gaze to the colorful light curtain in the distance, for some reason, he had an unformed guess in his heart, this pure land didn't seem to be as safe as he thought.
Flicking off the black dust on his fingers, Wang Lung pulled out the already useless Baiyue Shame from the soil pit, dug out the soil again, crushed the soil clods that had condensed again, and the slightly moist soil was tiled under the soil kang again, he was ready to plant another Baiyue Shame, but this time the planting had his purpose, as for whether it could be formed, it depended on the situation after the flowers bloomed.
