After temporarily solving ZERO's work goals and safety issues, Lin Chong counted the time on his fingers and found that there were only fourteen months left before the next material exchange with Earth.
The list of supplies sent by 704 is divided into several parts. One part is alien creations, such as magic weapons, one part is alien life forms, such as inner elixir, and another part is alien minerals, such as... that mutated peach forest?
Lin Chong saw that in 704's wish list, he drew a four-star suffix for the mutant peach forest, and it seemed that he wanted it very much.
This grade is exactly the same as tinplate.
That was a peach forest infected by the devil... Lin Chong remembered the devil Axunluo whom he had met in the Treasury of All Dharmas. After meeting the devil, Lin Chong reported the matter to 704. Today, three months later, Lin Chong saw this in the list of materials that the Earth wanted.
"What does the Earth want this for?"
It had been several years since Lin Chong had paid attention to Taozhuang, which was hundreds of miles away. When he was reminded by the list of supplies, he put on his VR helmet, called up the Fayan program, and checked the surveillance video near the peach forest.
The time starts from thirteen years ago. There are too many video resources, but 704 has assigned key points to them. Lin Chong browsed through the marked paragraphs one by one. The more he read, the more frightened he became. He felt like he was watching a horror movie.
"This peach forest... is eating people... and they are eating ascetics..."
Lin Chong watched as the blue crystal peach forest swallowed up the monks who were practicing around it one by one. Then, large bright red flowers grew on the trees. In the center of the flowers was the face of the monk. His eyes were closed and a dreamy smile appeared on his face, as if he was in an extremely sweet dream.
From thirteen years ago to today, all the cultivators in Taozhuang have been eaten up, leaving only the one with the highest cultivation level... a cultivator in the Yin Shen period with two long white eyebrows named Ren Baimei.
At that time, I was a Yin God. After more than ten years, I don’t know what realm I should be in.
While Ren Baimei was practicing, strange changes occurred on his body. Another face grew on the back of his head, a blue crystal-like face. The face was narrow, long and crude, not like a human, and looked very much like the face of a primitive sacrificial totem sculpture.
This face was the face of the devil that Lin Chong had seen in the Treasure House of All Magics.
When I saw this face, a note floated by: 'This face is highly similar to the totem of an ancient race in Africa on Earth, and it is suspected that they have a common origin.'
Later, there were more and more comments about the blue crystal tree, "A kind of energy? A carrier of thoughts? A life form from outer space?"
Regarding the human-faced flower, "A living being that has lost its own consciousness, has it been parasitized?"
…
So even though the elder of the Tianshu Immortal Sect failed to survive the tribulation, traces of the demonic tribulation still remain to this day, and are becoming more and more bizarre.
"Earth and the other world... have totems that can verify each other? Is it a coincidence?"
In short, 704 was curious about the peach forest that had suffered heavy losses in the calamity from outer space, and hoped that Lin Chong would bring some samples for research.
At the same time, it also reminded Lin Chong that the strangeness of this peach forest pointed to Axunluo, so he should pay special attention to it.
Lin Chong thought this was an easy matter to handle.
Just go and take a look. It's better to do it today than to wait for another day. I happen to have nothing to do today, so I'll watch some TV series... No, I'm tired of studying the Wanfa Tianjuan, so I'll go out and play a dungeon for fun.
He let Gandalf appear, riding a crane, and come to the peach forest.
On the surface, it is still a beautiful peach blossom field, with flowers in full bloom and leaves tender and green. If Lin Chong had not just seen the ghostly scene here from the video record, he would have been amazed. Now he just feels like complaining.
The world is flourishing every day all year round. Your illusion is too careless.
Lin Chong just arrived at the peach forest.
Ren Baimei, a man with two long eyebrows, appeared, as if he had been guarding this peach forest.
"It's been many years since we last met. How have you been?" Lin Chong greeted Ren Baimei.
"Is this...Fellow Daoist Gan?" Ren Baimei smiled.
Lin Chong looked at Ren Baimei in front of him. He looked the same as before, but his expression was dull and his smile was a little stiff, like a puppet. It seemed that he was possessed by a demon and his mind was affected.
However, Lin Chong came here this time just to get the Heavenly Tribulation Peach Branch, so it would be best not to fight.
"I think the peach blossoms are so beautiful that I want to pick one and plant it in a pot in my cave to grow it. Is that possible?" Lin Chong said.
"Hehe... please do as you please, fellow Taoist." Ren Baimei gave a warm, stiff smile.
Since it was a Dharma body, Lin Chong was not afraid of damaging it. He reached out and grabbed a peach branch, trying to pick it down.
At the moment when the Dharmakāya's hand touched the branch, 'bang'... the Dharmakāya shattered.
Alas……?
Lin Chong looked at the broken water mirror in front of him. The water mirror followed the Dharma body. When the Dharma body was gone, the water mirror naturally broke.
Hey? What's going on? Does the Heavenly Tribulation Peach Tree still have the effect of destroying the Dharmakaya?
Forty minutes later.
There is no wrong version in the 1619 book forum!
Another white crane landed in the peach forest.
Another Gandalf climbed down from the crane and said to Ren Baimei with a smile: "I am Gandalf. The Gandalf just now is my brother. I inherited his will and came to get a peach blossom."
"...Fellow Daoist, please do as you please." Ren Baimei raised his long eyebrows.
Lin Chong took out a mushroom bomb and placed it under a peach tree. He turned around and said to Bai Mei, "Daoyou, be careful."
"Nothing..."
boom!
A huge column of fireworks exploded from under the peach blossoms, burning the entire tree like a bunch of fire trees reaching into the sky. There was a series of "crackling" sounds, and branches fell all over the ground. The wooden branches fell to the ground and turned into blue crystal branches.
"Haha, I'll just take one." Lin Chong bent over and picked up a branch. Unexpectedly, as soon as he touched it, there was another "bang", and the Dharma body shattered into spiritual inspiration again.
Even if it is a branch of a heavenly calamity tree that has been broken, its Dharma body will break into pieces if it comes into contact with it... Lin Chong seemed to have realized something on the top of Kunlun Mountain.
Oh... Ren Baimei stood there, nodded slightly, and looked up at the sky.
Sure enough, within three quarters of an hour, another white crane landed. The old man with white beard climbed down and said to him, "I am the third brother of the Gan family, Daofu Gan..."
Since he is the third brother of the Gan family, shouldn't his surname be Gan? Ren Baimei nodded slightly, interrupting this boring lie, "Fellow Daoist, please do as you please."
Lin Chong took a piece of tiger skin, rolled up a branch, returned to the crane, and said to Bai Mei: "I will take this branch to commemorate my deceased elder and second brothers. Thank you for your help."
"You're welcome." Ren Baimei stood where he was, letting Lin Chong fly away, but he did not chase after him.
This made Lin Chong, who had already prepared 50,000 crane mushroom missiles, very puzzled. Thirteen years ago, he shouted for war and killing for one wrong word, but now he allowed Lin Chong to take away the branches without any hurry... Why?
Out of caution, Lin Chong did not bring the branch back to Kunlun Mountain, but sent it to Hutuo Ridge, where he planned to conduct experiments.
Before sending it to Earth, Lin Chong had to at least ensure that this thing was safe, such as being able to isolate spiritual inspiration from tin, or that it would not infect surrounding life forms.
But only one day passed, before Lin Chong could complete the experimental plan, the Great Sage Xuan Peng had already reported.
"The branch sent by the immortal has possessed a little demon."
