Chapter 293: Jianmu (2)
Lu Junsheng hesitated, but still explained:
"Jianmu is a magical and aggressive sacred tree that nourishes itself by plundering the life around it. But every living being can become its nourishment. As a result, the trees withered, the soil deserted, the rivers became stagnant, and all living beings died.
In ancient legends, mature Jianmu is thousands of feet high, and can even plunder the vitality of an entire country, and any creature that sets foot on that land will be robbed of life by Jianmu. Even some of the legendary building trees can ...... That kind of power is so unbelievable that I can't be sure if the legend is credible...... But if it were true, it would not just be a country that would be destroyed......
In any case, the people of the world or the demon clan will not allow this kind of fierce creature to grow, let alone allow it to exist in the world. Otherwise, this will brew a catastrophe with countless casualties. ”
After Jiang Yuan listened, he couldn't help but think of the scene when he first met Lin Yulin in the valley:
In the fortress built by the villagers, Lin Yulin's original form was a huge towering tree.
Her fiery red leaves are like clusters of passionate and magnificent flames, and the trunk of the tree, which can only be hugged by dozens of people, is like a giant hand that grips the earth tightly, making people daunting.
Overly vigorous life is often accompanied by death, and there is no grass growing in the open space around this giant tree, and no plant can compete with the giant tree for water and nutrients, and the feeling of domineering can be deeply experienced at the first sight of it.
After that, Jiang Yuan felt strange that Lin Yulin's personality could not be related to the word "domineering" at all, but when he saw Lin Yulin's original form for the first time, he did feel like that.
At the same time, Jiang Yuan was also angry with Princess Youyue, she must have known this information, but she never said it to herself.
As for Lin Yulin, Jiang Yuan also began to hesitate.
This dryad is simply a powder keg, once it is known that she is really a building wood, then she will be hunted down by the world, which is equivalent to detonating this powder keg, and she will definitely be affected.
Immediately, Jiang Yuan said to Lu Junsheng:
"Brother Lu, Lin Yulin has helped you heal your injuries, and this matter can't be passed on to you Yinque!"
Lu Junsheng nodded and said:
"I will only tell Shizun about this matter, Junsheng is willing to guarantee with his life, I, Yinque and Shizun will never betray Miss Lin. ”
Yinque heard Lu Junsheng say this, and could only answer:
"That'...... I'm not going to tell my dad or anyone else...... Don't look at me like that, my silver finch is a good talker!"
Jiang Yuan thought about it, he wouldn't believe the words of these two people, Jiang Yuan had always believed that only dead people could keep secrets.
But now, whether Lin Yulin is Jianmu has not yet been determined. If he wants to get rid of the dead end, he also needs Lu Junsheng, and it is really not suitable to attack them.
Immediately, Jiang Yuan's eyes rolled and he said with a smile:
"Lin Yulin's age, I know this. ”
"Oh?" Lu Junsheng and Yinque hurriedly looked at Jiang Yuan when they heard this.
This matter is too important, if it can really be determined from Jiang Yuan, it will undoubtedly be a blessing.
For Lin Yulin, he blinked his eyes and looked at Jiang Yuan suspiciously, he didn't know how old he was, Jiang Yuan would know?
Jiang Yuan explained:
"To tell you the truth, Lin Yulin and I met in the same valley. There is a small village outside the valley, and when I asked the people in the village, a septuagenarian once told me that Lin Yulin appeared in the valley when his grandfather was a child. At that time, Lin Yulin was just a small sapling, and he grew up slowly. In other words, Lin Yulin's age is about 200 years old. At this age, will it be Jianmu?"
When Yinque heard this, he breathed a sigh of relief and said:
"It's only about two hundred years old, and it's not as old as the elders in my heavy songbird clan, so of course it can't be Jianmu. Really, you didn't say it earlier, causing us to have a false alarm. ”
Lu Junsheng looked at Jiang Yuan deeply and did not speak.
Lin Yulin seemed very happy, she finally knew her age and planned to set a birthday for herself.
Jiang Yuan continued:
"Since Lin Yulin is not Jianmu, it's good. Of course, in order to avoid unnecessary trouble, please do not spread the word. ”
Yinque glanced at Lin Yulin and said:
"I'm not stupid like this dryad, and I'm certainly not going to ask for trouble. ”
"Okay," Jiang Yuan said, "Brother Lu, Yinque, you guys go and get busy." I'm sleepy too, and I want to rest. ”
Lu Junsheng nodded, pulled the silver sparrow who was about to say something, and walked out of the room.
After the two left, Jiang Yuan stared at Lin Yulin gloomily.
What to do with this dryad is not an easy task.
Who would have thought that this dryad would be such a dangerous and troublesome thing.
I've faced enough killings, and now I've created a Jianmu who will be hunted down and killed by the whole world, do you really want to die by yourself?
"Brother Jiang Yuan, are you going to rest?" Lin Yulin said, "Then I'll go out to play!"
Jiang Yuan stopped Lin Yulin:
"Yulin, this is not Pengcheng, you can't run around. Call your sister first, I have something to say to her. ”
Lin Yulin agreed, she went to a nearby room, and called Princess Youyue, who was hiding from the sun in the room, to Jiang Yuan's room.
Then Jiang Yuan asked Lin Yulin to go back to the room alone, and he was not allowed to leave without his permission.
In the end, only Jiang Yuan and Princess Youyue were left in the room.
"What's wrong?" asked Princess Darkmoon.
Jiang Yuan asked gloomily:
"How old is Lin Yulin?"
"Why do you ask this?" Princess Dark Moon began to notice something.
Jiang Yuan said coldly:
"You told me that she was after Jianmu. But you didn't tell me what Jianmu is!"
Princess Youyue's cold face showed no weakness:
"I thought you knew. ”
Jiang Yuan snorted coldly, and flames rose in his hand:
"With such a big danger by my side, do you want to die?!"
Princess Yueyue sneered:
"I've always wanted to take Lin Yulin away to live in seclusion, but it's not that you've been blocking it! As a result, now, Lin Yulin won't leave you at all. It's all yours to choose!"
Jiang Yuan was annoyed, and stretched out his hand full of flames to choke Princess Youyue's neck, causing the fire in his hand to continue to scorch Princess Youyue's body.
Princess Youyue didn't resist either, letting the flames burn, she endured the severe pain and looked at Jiang Yuan coldly.
In the end, Jiang Yuan still withdrew his hand and injected some ghost energy into Princess Youyue to prevent her from flying away.
"Now that you've got it, tell me your advice. Jiang Yuan said.
Now, even if he killed Princess Youyue, it would only vent Jiang Yuan's anger, but it would not help things in the slightest.
If the person who knows Lin Yulin the most is none other than Princess Youyue, maybe she can provide good advice.
Princess Youyue sighed softly and said:
"I know that Yulin may bring disaster to the world, and I don't want it either, so I have been deliberately guiding her character, hoping that she will eventually be kind-hearted. In order to set an example, I led by example and vowed to her that I would never harm anyone, even if her soul was scattered.
Yulin ...... She is also very competitive, although simpler, and intelligent like a child. But she really worked hard to grow into a kind-hearted demon. You should also find out about this. ”
Jiang Yuan said angrily:
"If she doesn't hurt people, it doesn't mean that others won't harm her, and it doesn't mean that I won't be implicated!"
Princess Youyue's tone was full of dissatisfaction:
"Is it only you in your eyes?"
Jiang Yuan replied without pretentiousness and concealment:
"That's right!"
"You!" Princess Yuyue froze for a moment.
The two were about to break out into a bigger quarrel, but at this time, they heard a "squeak!", and the door was opened through a crack from the outside.
I saw Lin Yulin's head sticking in:
"Brother Jiang Yuan, Sister Youyue, are you arguing?"
Jiang Yuan didn't expect this dryad to come over, and immediately said angrily:
"Get out!"
Lin Yulin's head hurriedly shrank out, but after a while, it shrank back again:
"Are you arguing because of me?"
Jiang Yuan said angrily:
"Tell you to go back to your room, don't come out!"
"Oh......."
Lin Yulin shrank out again, and the door was closed.
Jiang Yuan faced Princess Youyue at this time, and planned to teach this female ghost who always deceived herself a good lesson.
The door was closed, but it was opened again.
Lin Yulin's head poked in from the crack:
"Brother Jiang Yuan, Sister Youyue, are you thirsty? I saw someone selling honey on the street, let's go buy some and come back to make honey water!"
Jiang Yuan suddenly became helpless, and he beckoned to Lin Yulin.
Lin Yulin suddenly rushed in through the crack in the door, moving his legs composed of countless branches and quickly came to Jiang Yuan.
Princess Youyue was a little vigilant in front of Lin Yulin:
"What do you want to do with Yulin?"
At the beginning in the valley, Princess Youyue saw Jiang Yuan turn into a flame monster and gnaw at Lin Yulin's original form, if he hadn't stopped it in time, he would have almost eaten Lin Yulin.
Although I don't know why Jiang Yuan didn't continue to eat Lin Yulin for what reason, that scene has become a knot in Princess Youyue's heart.
It was also because of this that she would never be able to fully trust Jiang Yuan.
Jiang Yuan stared at the two sisters gloomily and said:
"Yulin has also grown up, this matter can't be kept hidden from her all the time, she has the right to know her own affairs. ”
Saying that, Jiang Yuan ignored Princess Youyue's obstruction, and explained the matter about Jianmu to Lin Yulin in detail, explaining the cause and effect until Lin Yulin could understand it thoroughly.
Jiang Yuan already regretted a little when he was in the valley at this time, if he hadn't coveted Lin Yulin's healing ability and eaten it earlier, he wouldn't have caused all of this today.
But now that this matter has been known to Lu Junsheng and Yinque, and Lin Yulin has also made a public appearance in Pengcheng, it is impossible to determine how many people still know about it.
It seems a little unrealistic to want to hide the secret completely.
However, at present, no one has come to chase Lin Yulin, which means that at least not many people know that Lin Yulin is Jianmu, and even if there is, it may not be publicized for some purpose.
Now Jiang Yuan himself is difficult to protect, and it is not interesting to eat Lin Yulin again, if Lin Yulin is really as powerful as the legend, then he can make good use of it.
It's just that at the moment, I still have to figure out what is going on with Lin Yulin, and there is no trace of the legendary Jianmu's majesty.
In her, there may be secrets that Jiang Yuan doesn't know, so she has to force this secret out.
That's why Jiang Yuan chose to explain everything to Lin Yulin and put pressure on her.
Isn't it true that she and Princess Yuyue value the most? if she understands that she and her sister will die because of her, maybe there will be a windfall.
