003 Cultivation grows tall
Whenever the sun shines through the clouds, shines on the earth, and envelops the whole body, this warmth makes people indulge in joy.
I tried my best to absorb the brilliance of the sun and moon, constantly stretching my limbs, growing around, hoping that one day I could really grow to the Heavenly Palace.
But sometimes I wonder if sunflowers can really reach the sky.
Because all of my sunflower mothers are just over two meters tall, and the tallest is no more than three meters.
I struggled to pull up my ankles, hoping to make my body longer.
Even if I only grow a centimeter taller, I can't help but shake my head happily.
When the sun is shining, I try to probe in the direction of the light.
When the sun goes down, I close my eyes and enjoy the moonlight.
He just stood where he was, listening to the conversations of the mothers around him from time to time, looking out at the high mountains and fields in the distance.
The sun rises and sets, and summer seems to quietly leave, and the fields turn yellow and orange.
After an autumn rain, the raindrops on the ears of wheat shine like crystalline pearls.
After many days of practice, I was finally able to distinguish the sun's rays.
For the first time, I learned that sunlight is not simply white, but composed of many colorful colors such as red, orange, yellow, green, blue, and purple.
A colorful arch bridge spans the wide world, and the ends hang down on the dark ground, with a bit of humility and demure.
For some reason, the animal demons around the sunflowers are gradually becoming scarce, and the two tiger demons who often visit are nowhere to be seen.
I silently thought to myself, if only there were gods or goblins who fell here, then I could find a way to quickly transform into shapes.
Go out and see the beauty beyond the mountains and rivers, and perceive the wider world.
An old sunflower heard my heart, turned her head, and looked at me kindly.
"Autumn has arrived, and it is the season when mankind reaps the fruits of labor. Human figures appear frequently, and in order to avoid unnecessary disputes, goblins will not come out and move around at will. Wait, kid, maybe a leprechaun will appear in a moment. ”
The old sunflower's face seemed to be a little darker, perhaps because the sun often shines.
I nodded obediently and smiled slightly.
With anticipation on his face, he looked around.
In the distance is a field of golden wheat, with golden ears hanging quietly.
A few cloth-clothed farmers weave back and forth in the wheat fields, smiling with satisfaction and ease on their faces.
"It's not too early, this wheat field is finished, go to my house and drink two glasses of wine. ”
"That's a good feeling. ”
A farmer breaks off the ears of wheat, puts them in large sacks, and throws them on a wagon by the side of the road.
"You don't eat melon seeds, there's a sunflower garden there. ”
The dark-faced old peasant pointed his finger straight at my face.
I lowered my head, trying to hide my figure, but my position was on the edge of the Sunflower family, which was easy to spot.
I covered my head, hoping in my heart that I would never come and pull my face.
However, prayer is generally useless, and can only be used to find peace of mind.
A few peasants loaded all the ears of wheat and walked straight towards us.
"Oh no, everyone, cover your heads, the humans are coming. ”
I listened to the familiar warning words in my ears and covered my head tightly.
With a creak, the head of an old sunflower was pulled off by the farmer's rough hands.
With irrepressible fear in my voice, I whispered to the old sunflower.
"Mother, are you alright? If you pull your head off, you're going to hell. ”
I looked at the simple gray faces in front of me, and it was clear that they had smiles on their faces, but I couldn't laugh anymore.
"I'm fine, my head can still grow, hahaha. It's okay, it's okay, it didn't pull my roots off. ”
I craned my neck, looked at my old mother, who had only one pole left, and lowered my head as low as I could.
"Ouch, it hurts. ”
One farmer, not sensing my fear, stretched out his palm and pulled my entire face down.
"It hurts. ”
I cried out of pain in my mouth, but there were no tears in my eyes.
Then I remembered that my head was gone, where did the eyes come from.
I looked at the farmer as he walked farther and farther away, with a hint of awe in my heart.
"Mother, how can my head grow again? I've been cultivating for hundreds of years, and I've been cultivating for hundreds of years, but haven't all my previous achievements been wasted? ”
The old sunflower snorted haha, as if she was hiding some truth.
"Don't worry, kid. The head is pulled off, and it can transform into a fairy faster. ”
The other sunflowers looked at me and the old sunflower's bare branches twice, and laughed hahaha.
Just when I was expecting in my heart, the most experienced old mother in the Sunflower family spoke slowly and said slowly.
"It's slower, slower. ”
I stretched out my arm and rubbed my neck, and when my face was gone, I felt lighter, which is a good thing.
Seeing that the sky was getting darker and darker, and the time of the day was about to pass again, I couldn't bear it and asked curiously.
"Mother, you say that there will be a little goblin coming over during the day, why can't I see it when I look around?"
I stretched out my ears and listened to the movement in the distance, the jingling of the flowing water, but I could not hear the footsteps of the animals.
The old sunflower laughed and stretched out its branches and gently patted my stems and leaves.
"Wait, kid, there will definitely be elves coming to visit you. ”
I listened to the words of the old sunflower with some suspicion, and the crisp sound of the water hitting the stone surface echoed in the air, and the coaxing person gradually fell into a coma.
I was a little tired of waiting, and I just wanted to close my eyes and take a nap, when the sound of croaking jumped back and forth in front of me.
"Wake up, child, the toad spirit has come to see you. ”
A sticky green animal appeared on the riverside, pulsing towards our people.
The two hind legs are very strong, beating back and forth on the ground, and the two arms are each hung with a black cloth towel, on which are written two big characters of pills.
The toad spirit looked back and forth around our group with wide eyes, croaking and croaking.
"It's a panacea, take a look, take a look. Cultivating potions will allow you to live ten years less and become a demon as soon as possible. ”
I have been cultivating for so many years, and it is the first time I have heard that pills can shorten the cultivation time.
I just got my head pulled off, and I don't know when it will grow, but I didn't expect the opportunity to be sent to the door like this.
My heart was overjoyed, and my arms shook happily.
"Toad essence, toad essence, bring me a bottle of cultivation potion. ”
The toad spirit seemed mysterious, and jumped up to me with disdain and disdain on its face.
"You don't have any heads, and it's useless to ask for this cultivation potion. ”
"Hahaha, my head will grow back one day. Toad, you give me a bottle of potion. ”
The toad nodded his head up and down, and just as I thought he was about to say yes, the toad made a hoarse sound.
"You're only a few hundred years old, and you don't have anything of value on you, do you?"
I shook my head and glanced at the old sunflower next to me who was pretending to be asleep.
"Nope. ”
The toad spirit circled around me and looked at me again.
"There are no potions, they are all sold out. ”
"Mother, do you have anything of value on you? I want to speed up my cultivation and become refined quickly. ”
"No, the most valuable thing in our Sunflower family is the face on the melon seed on the head. ”
"Toad essence, why don't you give me credit first, and then return it to you when I grow my head. ”
"Hmph, delusional. ”
The toad spirit ignored me anymore, singing and jumping as he went, going farther and farther.
