Chapter 161 The Specialty of the Mother Tree The next second, three people appeared at the spot...
The next second, a hole so big that three people could hug it appeared at the spot.
It was pitch black inside the cave.
Ye Lu jumped up lightly, then looked down. There was no movement. He frowned subconsciously. It was too quiet.
Ye Lu paused, turned around and said to the ghost scholar who was hiding aside: "Don't go down." This? This is not what the ghost scholar should do. At the same time, he said to the playful man next to him: "Come with me."
It's okay to have fun with people.
The ghost scholar stood obediently where he was.
Xi ordered his men to come forward, and the two of them only then looked down from the edge of the hole.
As soon as he entered, Ye Lu discovered that this cave was not so much a smaller room as it was half the size of the one above. However, there was light and he could see the surroundings clearly. Moreover, the two people who came down had very sharp five senses, so they could see the murals around the room clearly.
The murals in this small room are even more unscrupulous, and the gods and demons around them are even more bloody and cruel than the mural outside. It is also a picture of the Mother Goddess' creation of the world, and the eyes on the pieces of meat floating in the air are depicted vividly.
Just don't look at it for too long, as newcomers will easily be attracted by the divinity of the Mother Goddess in the mural.
The playful person would look at it for a while and then shift his gaze and stop looking.
It’s not that Xi Mingren was worried about being attracted by the Mother Goddess in the mural. Compared with the countless gods and Buddhas he encountered in his blood, the divinity in the mural was nothing. Xi Mingren mainly felt bored, so he withdrew his gaze. It only worked for that group of ordinary people.
Xi Mingren quickly turned to look at the surrounding rooms, and soon, his attention was attracted by the strange plant that was suppressed not far in front of him.
In the middle of the wing room, there was a strange plant that was faintly glowing. It was about half a person tall and the whole plant was planted in a pot. Its branches and leaves were dark green with slightly black edges. Each leaf was egg-shaped.
A peach tree.
Almost anyone who is familiar with strange plants will involuntarily sigh in their hearts when they see this strange plant: this peach tree is too orthodox.
It completely fits everyone's idea of a peach tree.
This is not important. Ximingren slowly moved his eyes upwards and saw that there were one, two, three,... five, six, a total of six spirit swords suppressing the peach tree. The golden orange tree separated from it by a wall also had only one spirit sword.
The uncle's magic sword complemented each other, forming a faint barrier that enveloped the entire strange plant.
Ximingren narrowed his eyes and stared at the tree. After a moment, he slowly said, "Brother Lu, is this the peach tree that Huang Jinju mentioned?"
As he spoke, Ximingren slowly stepped forward, holding the dominoes in one hand while staring closely at the spiritual sword on it.
"Wait? Wait?!" Ye Lu grabbed the corner of the playful man's clothes.
Ximingren subconsciously turned his head to look at Ye Lu, then their faces changed and they jumped to the side together to avoid the attack from the darkness. They saw a thick tree root appear where they had just been. The root was pure and seemed to have crawled out of the darkness. Looking along the root, they saw at a glance that it was the peach tree suppressed by the magic sword.
"I just said that I felt something was wrong just now. It was too quiet." Ye Lu slowly breathed a sigh of relief and frowned when he saw the tree root. In the past, the golden orange and the spirit sword had fought back and forth. He didn't believe that as a mother tree, this black peach tree would do nothing.
"Is this a sneak attack?" Ximingren raised his eyebrows and looked at the retracted tree roots, saying thoughtfully that this peach tree was smarter than they imagined. It actually knew how to restrain its aura from the beginning and not expose itself. It would also take the initiative to use itself as bait. If it was really one of the Ten Thousand Races who came down, it would easily be attracted when it saw the peach tree in the center, and then it would really die.
"Interesting." The playful man spun the dominoes and was about to step forward.
The peach tree that was suppressed by the magic sword saw that the two creatures that broke in were not fooled at all, and had no intention of continuing to cover up. The spirit of the whole strange plant was very violent.
The spirit sword in the air was spinning, but it couldn't be suppressed for a moment.
"...This strange plant is stronger than the golden orange." Ye Lu also saw it and commented after a moment.
"The spirit sword can't suppress it? Or is it that as such a long time has passed, the mysterious power in the spirit sword has disappeared, and it is then suppressed by this mysterious plant?" Ximingren asked curiously.
"It should be the latter."
"Don't attack." Ye Lu said helplessly as he looked at the playful man who was eager to try.
Before the Ximing man turned his head to ask, Ye Lu explained: "This tree root is the root of the peach tree. It is estimated that it was prepared long ago and has grown slowly over time. It is specially designed to strike the descendants of the Ten Thousand Clans. If you cut off this tree root, the peach tree will not survive."
Ye Lu just lamented that the gap between strange plants and humans was not that big.
Who said that the strange plant's ideas were different? When it came to holding a grudge, this strange plant could hold a grudge much better than humans. It was possible that all the races were really killed by it.
After hearing this, Ximing people became more interested in this peach tree.
Ye Lu sighed helplessly and said: "Fortunately, these spirit swords have consumed a lot of the essence of this peach tree. Most of the ghost power is used to fight against the spirit swords, and the rest is needed to grow roots. There is probably not much left to chase us. If we dodge a few more times, this peach tree may not be able to hold on."
The implication is to avoid harm as much as possible.
Ye Lu didn't plan to say anything to this peach tree. It was obvious that its consciousness was in chaos and it was hard to explain. It would be better to take it back and plant it under the feet of the green pine tree to replenish it with the innate Jiamu Qi. He could talk to it after it woke up.
Of course Xi Mingren listened to Ye Lu, he was naturally agile, as long as he knew Tao Shu's attack methods, every move he made would be like jumping in the attack, and he could not even think of every posture.
The tree roots attacked several times in succession, but each time failed.
Slowly, the attack power of the tree roots gradually disappeared.
Keep shrinking and shrinking.
The spiritual sword that was suppressing the peach tree in mid-air also fell with a crackling sound and hit the ground. After a moment, it broke into pieces. The strange plant that was originally emitting a faint glow had completely turned black, and its breath was weak. The whole strange plant seemed to be asleep.
The playful man didn't even break a sweat, he jumped on the ground very easily, and seemed to be playing with the dominoes in his hands even more beautifully, looking as if he was still not satisfied.
Maybe it's because the spiritual consciousness of this strange plant is still confused. If it was really clear, it would have put this guy on its vengeance list long ago. Ye Lu looked at the smiling playful man and couldn't help muttering in his heart.
The two were just about to say something.
The ghost scholar's worried voice came from above: "Brother Lu, Ah Xi, are you all right?"
"Okay, okay, let's go up now." When Ye Lu heard the ghost scholar's words, he decided not to waste time with the people down there. While loudly responding to the ghost scholar's questions above, he went forward to look at the peach tree.
When the two men first approached the peach tree, they paused for a moment and both became more alert.
Unexpectedly, this peach tree was really asleep. The two of them showed no intention of attacking it when they approached it. Only then did Ye Luxi feel relieved and ordered his men to approach the peach tree. Ye Lu was very strong, so he directly picked up the potted plant and prepared to go up.
Xi ordered someone to go up first, and then someone else would support him from the side.
...Hmm? As soon as Ye Lu approached the small peach tree, he paused, raised his eyebrows involuntarily, and hummed in his heart, this aura is a bit wrong?
The peach tree still smells like a peach tree, but the smell is somewhat familiar.
Ye Lu didn't think too much about it, he just lifted it up and handed it to the Ximing man. After watching the Ximing man connect the peach tree, he jumped up from under the hole.
"Is this the peach tree?" As soon as Ye Lu came up, he heard the ghost scholar's words.
"Yeah." Ye Lu nodded.
The ghost scholar did not continue to ask questions. Anyway, he would have plenty of time to ask questions when he got back. He was more concerned about another point. He asked, "Time is running out. Which strange plant remains should we take this time?"
"Those two pear trees!" Ye Lu said without thinking.
These words were referring to a strange plant in a pear orchard in the Wanyao Valley. In that orchard, there were two rare strange fruit trees, both pear trees. Even after a thousand years, their auras were still blended together and complemented each other. One could imagine how powerful these two pear trees were back then.
The ghost scholar was also deeply impressed. These two strange plants had complementary functions, and even now he had never heard of them.
"Okay!" Especially the two strange pear trees, one of which is exceptionally tall, almost as big as a tall tree, and the other is exceptionally short, only the size of a small tree. The two strange plants complement each other very well.
When they did it again, the three of them had become very skilled.
They found the garden of strange plants and started to cut the strange plants in the garden into several pieces. Then they picked them up and sent them up. The three of them divided the work and finished the job quickly.
Ye Lu picked up the strange peach tree and carefully wrapped the entire plant with his strange power, trying his best to prevent it from being soaked by the pond water around it. The pond water was a bit strange, and although he knew it would not have much impact on the strange plant, it was better not to touch it if possible.
Most of the other pear tree remains were taken by the Xi Ming people, and the ghost scholar took a small part. There was no other way. Even if the ghost scholar had been promoted to the Qingyou level, his strength was at most a little greater. After all, he walked the divine path. But to say that he was stronger than the Xi Ming people and Ye Lu, that was a joke.
The ghost scholar? He is very self-aware and has no intention of holding on. He holds the remains and stops once he is sure that he has reached his limit.
As the three of them got ashore, the sound of breaking water was heard one after another. After putting down their things, they all spread out on the ground and rested for a while.
After an unknown amount of time, the three of them finally had a good rest. Ye Lu got up from the ground, and the other two also reluctantly got up and turned around to look at their harvest.
"Not bad, at least I can make the golden oranges mature once." The ghost scholar said slowly as he counted the remains of the strange plants he brought out this time.
When he was halfway through the calculation, the ghost scholar seemed to have thought of something and turned to look at Ye Lu.
"Master Taoist, do we need this peach tree..." the ghost scholar asked hesitantly.
"Not for now. We have to wait until Qingsong finishes reading it. Also, it's said in the Medicine Sutra that once the mother tree is ready to produce seeds, it's best not to bloom and bear fruit in this batch. All the Guili should be used for the seeds." Ye Lu shook his head and spoke out what was in his mind.
There was one thing Ye Lu didn't say. He had been watching for so long and found that the condition of this strange peach tree was much better than that of the golden orange and Tianshui Ganoderma lucidum.
Ye Lu suspected that the level of this strange peach tree had not dropped, and it was most likely still at the Blood Grudge level.
When the ghost scholar heard this, he also felt that what Ye Lu said made sense. He nodded and put aside what he was thinking.
After the three of them had a good rest, they continued to work. They were not allowed to tell anyone about the ruins at the bottom of Tan, not even the medicine rabbits. Therefore, the three of them did everything by themselves. Even the remains of the strange plants found from the ruins had to be classified by themselves.
Also? It means that the types brought out are not mixed.
The three of them put the remains of the strange plant into the warehouse to make sure that no one knew about it. Then they took the strange peach plant and some pear tree remains to the top of the mountain to look for the green pine.
Along the way, Ye Lu did not favor one over the other. He also shared some of the remains with the laurel tree, the tea plant, and the alfalfa.
Ye Lu received the laurel tree's joyful and coquettish voice. The laurel tree hadn't seen its companion for a few days, and now as soon as they met, it gave itself delicious soil. The laurel tree was naturally happy, and when it was happy, the laurel seeds hanging on its crown rustled softly without wind.
Wait? We reached the top of the mountain.
The strange green pine plant had almost rested. Ye Lu squinted his eyes and looked at it. Although the innate Jia wood energy around the strange green pine plant was not as thick as before when it was about to drip water, it was indeed much better than before. Only then did he confirm that the green pine was not trying to be stubborn, and he slowly breathed a sigh of relief.
"A Lu!" Qingsong's consciousness slowly emerged, and his tone was much more energetic than before.
"Qingsong." Ye Lu greeted the Qingsong strange plant. He was holding the potted peach tree strange plant in his arms.
Qingsong's spiritual consciousness slowly watched his companion approaching, and naturally, it also saw the strange peach tree in his companion's arms, and he was a little confused.
"Alu, is this another strange plant? Are there many spiritual plants in that relic?" Qingsong still cannot tell the difference between spiritual plants and strange plants. To it, they are all the same, and sometimes it even confuses them.
Ye Lu was also used to the way Qingsong Guizhi spoke.
"This? This should be the last one."
"Qingsong, take a look, what's the condition of this peach tree?" Ye Lu placed the peach tree in his arms under Qingsong's tree, took a few steps back, and motioned Qingsong to take a closer look.
Qingsong's spiritual consciousness circled in the air for a few times, and after looking at the half-human-high peach tree below for a moment, he said with a clear tone: "This? Is this the mother tree that A Lu and the others mentioned before? It is indeed different from ordinary strange plants."
"It's a little weak, but its condition is much better than the Golden Orange and Tianshui Ganoderma. Its level hasn't dropped. It's just the sequelae left by the lack of strange power. It will recover after staying in the strange power for a while." Qingsong told the results of his observation.
The result? Unexpected.
Qingsong couldn't help but sigh: "This strange plant contains a lot of strange power, three to four times more than other strange plants of the same type. No wonder it can last so long."
Even though Ye Lu had expected this, he couldn't help but be surprised when he heard Qingsong's words. There were so many.
"But..." Qingsong Weird Plant paused for a moment, then said hesitantly, "A-Lu, this Weird Plant cannot be planted together with other Weird Plants."
"Hmm?" Ye Lu asked.
"This strange plant is different." Qingsong's consciousness hovered in the air for a moment and said, "You can feel the divinity contained in this strange plant, right?"
Ye Lu suddenly realized that the familiar feeling he had before was divinity.
Because divinity is too rare, and Ye Lu had never thought of finding it among strange plants, he naturally didn't think of it for a while.
"This strange plant should have been worshipped before." Qingsong Guizhi said with certainty: "If you are lucky, you may really become a god."
"Even if it can't become a god now, it definitely can't be planted together with ordinary weird plants."
