021, Taihao Ruins (II)
In the arid land beyond a few lotus ponds, there are many rocks of different sizes and shapes, and there are twelve huge and strange trees growing in between. The main trunk of this tree is very thick, the epidermis is very smooth and tender, not like ordinary bark, the road is somewhat like the epidermis of dark blue fruits, the main trunk has grown to more than ten zhang high, and there is no fork in the lower part.
At the top of the trunk, many curved branches stretched out upwards and around like snakes and dragons, and the whole tree resembled a giant long-stemmed mushroom and a strange hand reaching out to the sky. There are a total of 12 giant trees here, and they are distributed very regularly, and the canopy is not simply intertwined, and the branches that touch each other are naturally intertwined, covered with dark green needles.
The tiger baby didn't know that this was the legendary Dragon Blood Treasure Tree, and these twelve Dragon Blood Treasure Trees were much older and taller than the trees on the tree hill. The twelve giant trees are like twelve pillars, the intertwined lush canopy is like a roof more than ten zhang high, and the circle of strange forests growing on the surrounding high slopes is like a wall under the eaves, completely covering and covering the magical world in the middle of the valley.
If you stand outside and look at this inconspicuous small basin, there is only a bush growing in the center of the basin, and you will not notice that the terrain there is lower, and the "bush" you see is the crown of giant trees more than ten feet high.
Because of the canopy of the trees and the surrounding woods, there is no sunlight in this magical world all the year round, so how can the lotus flower in the water grow? There is light, a very soft light from the center in all directions, so bright and not dazzling, the light comes from the five glowing trees.
The slender tree is shaped like a beautiful coral, with a jade-like trunk and branches, and jade-like leaves. Some of the branches have five leaves and a flower in the center, but these trees do not have many flowers because they are almost full of fruit. The bead-shaped fruit the size of the thumb belly is also translucent, and the inside is faintly flowing with a five-colored luster, like the stamen of those lotus flowers.
The tiger baby didn't know that this was the legendary Langji tree, and he hadn't seen coral, so he didn't know how to describe them, but he just thought that this tree was so beautiful, so beautiful that it was like a dream!
The Five-Colored Divine Lotus and the Langji Jade Tree, the legendary immortal elixir possessed by the Emperor of Heaven, actually appeared here at the same time! The Five-Colored Divine Lotus grew in a few pieces of water in the small world realm in this mile. There are only five Langji trees, and it is said that under normal circumstances, they cannot be called Qionglin. But these five trees are all more than three feet tall, and the glow emanating from the trees illuminates this strange world.
The tiger baby almost forgot to close it with her mouth open, and walked forward with the slippery pan. Pan Gu's expression was a little triumphant, as if he had made a great discovery and could finally show off in front of the tiger baby. Passing through the lotus pond and passing by a giant tree, Pan Gu stopped and stretched out his paw to signal - let the tiger baby take a good look there.
The tiger baby noticed marks on the bark, scratches from top to bottom at a rotating angle, apparently from the dog's paws. Dogs have nails, but they are not as sharp as those of tigers and leopards, and the nails are so powerful that they can tear through the toughest hides if they are deliberately cut with the strength of their strength.
However, there was only a shallow scratch on the bark, and if you looked closely, it was not because the claws of the pan gourd were not strong, but the scratch was left three days ago, just like a human wound, and the place where it was cut has now "healed".
At the bottom edge of the scratch, there was a tear on the bark of the tree—a teardrop-shaped resin. If the resin oozing from the cut bark of the dragon's blood tree is not harvested, it will emit a strange fragrance in the sunlight, and gradually condense into a translucent red dragon tree blood. If before the strange fragrance is distributed, there is a master who harvests it with a special magical secret method, he can obtain a more precious and spiritually undamaged dragon's blood resin.
But in this strange small world, there is no sun and scorching sun, only the jade tree Qionghui, and the fragrance of the five-colored divine lotus is wafting around, so the dragon's blood resin condenses into something that cannot appear anywhere else - dragon tree tears. What the tiger baby saw was Nagarjuna's tear pearl, which not only retained all the spirituality of Nagarjuna's blood lipids, but also equivalent to refining it through the most magical master's mana.
Of course, the tiger baby didn't know this, he just curiously plucked this "tear" from the bark, took it and twisted it lightly on his fingertips. This thing is light red, and the feel is a little soft and elastic, and it is in a semi-condensed state. When it twists between the fingers, it is either because of the body temperature of the tiger baby or because of the friction of the skin, exuding a strange fragrance.
With Huwa's current cultivation, there is already a sense that seems to be natural in nature, and he can avoid some injuries that ordinary people can't detect, if such a fragrance is poisonous, he will have the vigilance to avoid once he smells it. But this fragrance made him feel very comfortable, as if even the fatigue of running around had been washed away, and the energy around his body had become comfortable and smooth.
He took Nagarjuna's tear pearl to his other hand and reached out to sniff the fingertip of the finger. There is also a faint afterfragrance on the fingertips, but it seems to be able to moisten the skin, and then gradually dissipate in the blood. Although the tiger baby didn't know this thing, she also knew that it was a good thing by induction! Pan Gu was a little dissatisfied on the side, because the tiger baby was a little distracted and didn't notice it.
The dog barked a few times to attract the tiger's attention, and he made another gesture and rubbed his body against the tree like a tickle. The tiger baby suddenly understood the meaning of Pan Gu, it turned out that the last injury it suffered was healed here. Pan Gu made a cut in the bark with his claws, and rubbed the oozing resin against the wound.
What a miraculous elixir this is, it can make the wound that originally took at least ten days to heal so quickly, if the tiger baby is not careful enough, it can't even be found that Pan Gu is injured. This is really a treasure land, no wonder Pan Gu wants to bring him to open his eyes.
A man and a dog walked towards the five glowing trees, all of which grew in the middle of the place. Surrounded by jade trees, there is also a small altar, made of white jade with a warm and pure color. The reason why Huwa feels that this place is like an altar is because there is also a bluestone altar in the center of Lu Village, and the shape looks similar. It's just that the altar here is much smaller, it is only more than a foot high and a square foot in circumference.
They had walked a long way, crossed treacherous mountains, saw beautiful landscapes, and finally reached their destination. The tiger baby sat down by the altar to rest, still rubbing the tears of the dragon tree in her hands. The strange fragrance is not strong, it always radiates faintly, as if it naturally surrounds the body, dips into the skin, and washes the muscles and bones.
His stomach suddenly rumbled a few times, he hadn't eaten since yesterday afternoon, and when he sat down to rest comfortably after a long journey, his usual first reaction was to be hungry, but where to find food here?
Of course, Pan Gu heard this movement, and knew that the tiger baby was hungry and that it was hungry itself. Before the tiger baby could speak, he saw it jump out of the lake and jump into the nearby lotus pond with a pop. The tiger baby was taken aback, but she didn't have time to stop it.
This is not an ordinary plateau wetland, there are dragon blood treasure tree wings, Lang Yuqiong light, and the ancient Taihao Emperor laid down the magic circle to gather the vitality and aura between heaven and earth, and the lotus pond is the spring of eternal Qingqing. If you put a bottle of water here and break off an ordinary branch and insert it in the bottle, you can also make the branch alive.
The water in the lotus pond was not deep, and if it had raised its head, it could still poke its head out, but at this time it lowered its head and gouged in the soil under the lotus leaves and lotus flowers, and the waves swelled and muddied the water. The tiger baby couldn't see what Pan Gu was digging in the water, but only saw the lotus leaves and lotus flowers trembling, which was a terrible scenery.
These lotus leaves and lotus flowers give people the feeling of being so beautiful, they are simply beautiful to the extreme, and it is a pleasure to stand by the pool and look at it. And the pan gourd was poured, and he jumped directly into the water and planed around, and the tiger baby was about to call it up. Just a few clicks, Pan Gu had already jumped up on his own with something in his mouth.
It was a few white lotus roots, the rhizomes of lotus leaves, like bamboo whips buried under the soil. Then Pan Gu jumped into another lotus pond, but did not continue to dig at the bottom of the pool. Holding a three-section lotus root more than two feet long in its mouth, it shook its head vigorously, it turned out that it also knew that it had muddied the water over there just now, and then cleaned the lotus root in the clear water here.
Huwa noticed the situation in the lotus pond again, even the soil here was very strange, and the fine soil in the muddy water spread out like clouds and smoke, and gradually sank to the bottom of the water, and the water was soon still clear. At this time, Pan Gu had already taken the white tender lotus root in his mouth and stuffed it into the tiger baby's hand, stood up straight and stuck out his tongue to look at the tiger baby, which meant that this thing could be eaten, and the two of them could eat together.
The lotus root is dug out of the soil under the water of the pang, and the standard dog planing thing is just a simple shabu, but there is no trace of silt in the hand, clean and dusty, and it looks delicious. Huwa even feels that this lotus root does not need to be washed at all, as long as the water is clean, I don't know whether it is the cause of water or mud, or the characteristics of the lotus root itself, or both.
It seems that Pan Gu is very familiar with the situation here, since he has found all the food, he doesn't have to be polite, Hu Wa broke the lotus root stem and gave Pan Gu half of it, and took the other half and gnawed on it. Since the tiger baby has never seen the lotus, of course she has not seen the lotus, I don't know that it is called lotus, and I don't know what the lotus root should be like, I only feel that the rhizome in my hand is crisp and sweet.
Ordinary lotus root only eats the main stem part in the middle, and the details between the two lotus stems are inedible, and there is no taste and no bite. But the tiger baby didn't know what to say, he ate all the parts, and it felt so delicious.
Ordinary food is crumbs after chewing, and when eaten, it is swallowed with a mixture of juice and saliva, and the same is true of ordinary lotus root. However, the lotus root here is different, there are nine orifices in the lotus root, and there are filaments connected after breaking, and after being put in the mouth and chewed to the most, there is no residue left, and all of them are turned into pure juice.
