Chapter Twenty-Eight: The Mysterious Fruit

The legendary Peng Bird is mentioned in many ancient books, such as the Zhonghuang Sutra of the Divine Strange Scripture and the relevant descriptions in the Water Scripture, the most famous of which is Zhuang Zhou's "Getaway".

"There is a fish in the North Underworld, and its name is Kun. The Kun is so big that I don't know how many thousands of miles it is. Turned into a bird, its name is Peng. Peng's back, I don't know how many thousands of miles it is. Flying in anger, its wings are like clouds hanging from the sky. ”

Zhuangzi sketched the image of a divine bird that can soar up to 90,000 miles in an unbridled and majestic tone, which is amazing to read.

Obviously, this is somewhat inconsistent with the common sense of the existence of things, no matter how big the sacred bird is, it is impossible to have such a body shape, which is an extremely exaggerated description of the ancients. However, what is puzzling is that there are also records of Peng Bird in many other ancient documents, and even many ancient books claim that Peng Bird does exist in an unswerving tone, but it is not as big as thousands of miles as the legend.

This has to make people have all kinds of associations, in that distant ancient heaven and earth, is there really a divine bird named "Peng" exists?

Zhou Yi and the others watched as the golden shadow that seemed to be cast of gold disappeared behind a mountain cliff, and they all showed shocked expressions.

"O legendary bird!" many people exclaimed after petrification, a kind of heartfelt shock, easily tore a giant elephant apart, rushed up, and grabbed nothing more than a pika, its size was jaw-dropping, and its great power made people stunned.

Cayde was serious and stumbled, "That giant bird...... Belonging to the order Falconiformes, this is a ...... New species, is a ...... Great finds. ”

"Stay aside!" Pang Bo was really a little speechless at this tenacious foreigner, when was it, still considering things from a scientific point of view, and he didn't want to think about how he got here.

"Pombo, you have a better attitude. Li Xiaoman showed a displeased look, his long eyelashes trembled slightly, and his beautiful eyes glanced at him.

"I didn't say you ......," Pombo muttered softly.

"What kind of world have we come in?" After calming down, everyone had to think about this question.

Walking through the silent universe, coming to this star field where the Big Dipper is located, and entering such a mysterious world, did you really come to the place where the gods returned?

How to survive is a question that everyone is thinking about at the moment, the future is unknown, and everything needs to be carefully considered.

Many people grabbed the relics of the gods in their hands, but at this moment, all the Buddhist artifacts have been dimmed, and some have even cracked, and cracks have appeared, which can be regarded as completely damaged.

The last bit of divine power in the relics of the gods was absorbed by the bronze ancient coffin, and there was no divine light circulating at this moment, and holding it in his hand was not much different from holding it with scrap copper. But no one threw it away, hoping that the relics of the gods could rebuild their radiance for future use, and if they could be repaired, it would be their greatest reliance in the future.

"Gollum"

I don't know whose stomach ringed, many people felt very embarrassed, people always had to eat and drink Lazar, and many people moved their feet, looking for a hidden place to go to convenience.

"Die to save face and suffer ......" Pang Bo pursed his lips disdainfully, and said: "I still have the foresight to leave my great traces on the ruins of the Heavenly Palace on Mars, I think even in the past few hundred years it is one of the greatest witnesses of mankind's exploration of the starry sky!"

"Poof"

As soon as Ye Fan drank the water in his mouth, he squirted out, and the mineral water bottle in his hand was almost thrown away.

"I said brother, don't say such things when I'm drinking water, it's okay, it's going to kill people. ”

The people next to him couldn't stand the two of them, so they moved their steps into the distance, and they were all extremely embarrassed to solve their respective problems.

Pang Bo laughed when he saw everyone's demeanor, and then deliberately coughed a few times in a certain direction, making it look like he was going to walk over, which suddenly made the people behind the big tree tremble for a while, and it was not easy to solve their own problems.

Pang Bo laughed twice, then squatted down, picked up two stones and threw them out, and Li Changqing's angry cry suddenly came from behind the vines in the distance: "Who, who is so lacking in virtue?" accompanied by Liu Yunzhi's annoyed cold snort.

Seeing that this guy picked up another stone and wanted to throw it in the direction where Li Xiaoman left, Ye Fan hurriedly stopped him with a smile.

Seeing everyone walking out one after another, Pang Bo immediately made a serious appearance, and then pulled Ye Fan and began to walk around the top of the mountain, wanting to see what wild fruits were to eat.

Although Ye Fan received a large bag of the corpse of the divine crocodile on the five-color altar of Mars, the two of them really didn't want to vomit to eat it at the critical moment.

"There's a spring pool there. Pombo suddenly made a discovery.

Just a few dozen meters ahead, a few bucket-sized old vines surrounded a clearing, where there was a one-meter-square spring pool, bubbling like a nectar spring.

Next to the spring pond, there are more than a dozen small trees more than half a meter high, with wide leaves, verdant green, shaped like human palms, as if several multi-armed villains are standing there. At the top of each small tree hangs a red fruit that resembles a cherry, but is the size of a chicken's egg.

Ye Fan and Pang Bo walked through the vines and walked over quickly, smelling the rich fruity fragrance from a long distance, and they almost drooled the two of them. After all, they haven't eaten for a day and a night, and their stomachs are already hungry, and if they can't find anything to eat, the two of them are ready to eat crocodile meat.

"It's so fragrant, I've never seen a really fragrant fruit. ”

When I came closer, the fragrance became even more fragrant, and even the aged fragrance of the thousand-year-old wine cellar had to be suppressed here.

"Will the fruity aroma be poisonous?" both of them were a little unsure, because the more showy and tempting it was, the more toxic it would be.

"No matter, such a fragrant fruity aroma, even if it is poisonous, I want to taste it, I don't want to eat those disgusting reptiles that used to burrow around in the human brain. ”

"If you don't try it first, you have a strong physique, and if it's poisonous, you will definitely be able to carry it. ”

"I think you have rough skin and thick flesh, and you are not invaded by all poisons, so you are the most suitable for testing poisons. ”

Both of them are very cheerful, even if they came to a strange world, they did not have a sad face, but faced it with an optimistic attitude.

Ye Fan picked a red fruit, and it looked very attractive in his hand, crystal clear, like a red jade carving.

At this time, Pang Bo also picked a bright red and translucent fruit, and said, "No, this fruity aroma is so tempting, I can't help it, taste it first." ”

"I'll do it first. ”

The two of them took a light bite almost at the same time, and when the shiny red peel broke, people suddenly felt a rich and fragrant aroma rushing straight to the internal organs and permeating the body.

"Delicious!" Pang Bo swallowed his fingers in a hurry, the juice flowed, red and bright, and the aroma was overflowing.

"I've never eaten such a delicious fruit, are you really hungry?" After the two of them finished eating the first fruit, they waited for a while, only to feel that their bodies were a lot more energetic, and they did not feel any other discomfort.

"It's not poisonous. ”

"So what are you waiting for, go ahead!"

The two sat on the edge of the one-meter-square spring pool and began to gobble it up, splashing juice everywhere. Hungry to a certain extent, I want to swallow my tongue, let alone face such a sweet fruit.

However, after only eating four per person, Ye Fan said, "Bring a few to Yiyi and Zhang Ziling." ”

"Yes, they must be hungry too. ”

These small trees, which are more than half a meter high, are verdant and extraordinary, but each tree bears only one fruit at the top, and only thirteen jasper-like trees have grown around the spring pond, and only five red and shiny fruits remain.

Pang Bo took a hard breath, leaned down and sniffed at the bubbling pool, and said, "Strange, this spring water also seems to have some aroma. ”

Ye Fan picked up some spring water, smelled a little fragrance, although it was very light, but it did exist, and said: "These small trees can bear such strange fruits, most of them have something to do with this spring pool. ”

Pang Bo drank a few large sips of spring water and said, "There is a faint sweet fragrance, but unfortunately the taste is a little special, and I don't feel anything after drinking." He poured out all the water from several mineral water bottles and began to fill it with this lightly scented spring water.

The two of them rested here for a while, ate the fruit, drank some spring water, and then plucked the remaining five fruits. As he walked back, Pang Bo whispered, "You don't feel it, after eating the fruit, the fatigue seems to be swept away, and I feel energetic now." ”

Ye Fan was also wondering, and immediately nodded when he heard this, and said, "This red fruit seems to be really unusual. ”

At this time, everyone solved their own problems, some people were looking into the distance, checking the terrain, and some people were getting together to discuss what to do.

When Ye Fan and Pang Bo came over, there was a burst of fragrant fruity fragrance, which attracted everyone's attention at once, and many people couldn't help swallowing their saliva, and many people already felt hungry.

"Yiyi gives it to you, eat it quickly. Pang Bo stuffed two red and bright fruits into Liu Yiyi's hands, which shimmered in the sunlight.

Li Changqing stood not far away, smelling this tempting fruity fragrance, and suddenly couldn't help but say: "Pang Bo, where did you find the fruit, hurry up and share it with everyone, you're hungry." ”

As he spoke, he stepped forward, not treating himself as an outsider at all, as if he had forgotten that he had maliciously targeted Ye Fan not long ago and almost killed him, and reached out to grab the other three fruits in Pang Bo's hand.
