Chapter 170 Who goes first? Time passes little by little, confirming that the offering is right...
As time passed, the ghost scholar confirmed that the offering was harmless to the people and stopped trying to stop them.
I don’t know how much time passed.
The fruits on the crown of the golden orange tree are ripening day by day, and the light yellow color finally turns into a rich golden color, very pure gold, and there is a rich fragrance that always surrounds the fruit. This fragrance is also very special, like the fragrance of fruit and flowers.
On the day when the golden orange matured, its spirit was so excited that it came out from the roots of the tree and boasted wildly in the air.
"Haha! I told you that I've matured in the past few days, but Master Yi still doesn't believe me! Fortunately, Boss Qingsong understands a lot and has been frantically replenishing my ghost beads for me these past few days."
"I didn't disbelieve you, it's just that you suddenly said that you were about to mature, and I couldn't help but ask a few questions. After confirming from Qingsong that what you said was true, didn't I replenish you with all my energy?" Cross-shaped marks kept appearing on Ye Lu's forehead. While listening to Huang Jinju's words, he comforted himself not to be angry.
Ye Lu was really wronged, but I really couldn't blame him.
Ye Lu has so many strange plants, but this is the first time that a strange plant has predicted when it will mature. Even the laurel tree cannot predict it.
Huang Jinju didn't believe Ye Lu's excuse at all, or rather, it wasn't ready to believe it. It said with a grin, "I'm a Blood Grudge-level weird plant, not an ordinary weird plant. How can I be the same as them?"
When Ye Lu heard this, he began to congratulate himself. He had deliberately planted the golden orange in a place far away from other strange plants. With its character, it would be strange if other strange plants did not attack it.
Ye Lu had to comfort himself for a few words before he could speak calmly.
Maybe what Huang Jin Ju said was true, and the blood-grudge-level strange plants might really be different. At least when Ye Lu and the others were picking them, Huang Jin Ju itself did not move the whole time and let them pick them. Huang Jin Ju's consciousness was still laughing in the air, and it even had time to direct the big rabbits to work.
"Yes, sprinkle me with more black soil, no more remains. I ate too much at once before. Just sprinkle me with some strange bead powder. Wow, all the fruits were picked at once. It's so relaxing." Huang Jinju's consciousness said, "I need to have a good rest for a while."
The whole process went more smoothly than Ye Lu and his team did.
The ghost scholar held a wooden box in his hand and looked at Ye Lu who was picking fruits from the tree. He quickly handed the wooden box to him and said, "Master, hurry up and put the fruits in."
It’s not enough to put it in yet. The ghost scholar has to put the wooden box into the ice cave behind the two-story building and wait for the merchants to arrive.
Put three in it? It just fits into three wooden boxes.
The ghost scholar put the wooden box into his arms. He looked at the twelve golden tangerines in front of him, which were four golden tangerines. He was very calm and waited quietly for Ye Lu's instructions.
"Ah Xi, go and give this golden tangerine to your fourth uncle and tell him that I asked for it." Sure enough, Ye Lu had already told Xi's people what he had planned beforehand.
While Ye Lu was speaking, he took out another wooden box. This time the wooden box was ordinary, without ordinary decorations. He handed the wooden box containing the golden tangerines to the man and instructed him, "If Fourth Uncle doesn't want to eat it, just tell him that He Village is too weak now, and there are many strange plants in the mountains. The three of us brothers can't stand alone, and we need the help of uncles."
"In addition, every batch of golden oranges I produce will be reserved for my uncles and aunts. You have to explain this matter clearly." As soon as Ye Lu finished speaking, the playboys came out and listened very carefully.
Normally he is very carefree, but when something really happens, he becomes very serious.
"Ah Gui, put the wooden box in your arms in it. We will use the rest tonight. We can awaken one talent at a time." Ye Lu turned around and spoke to the ghost scholar beside him.
Ghost scholar? Nodding and agreeing: "Yes!"
Xi ordered his men to take Huang Jingju down the mountain to look for He Sijiu. As it happened, they were still in the village ancestral hall, and he was the only one there. He Sijiu was counting the surplus of the village this year in the hall. Fortunately, Lu Wazi and the others had helped a lot last time, and the village could barely get by.
"... Well... let's wait until these kids grow up." Fourth Uncle He looked at the little food left in his hands with helplessness. Logically speaking, there were two strange plants in the village, and both were of the type with considerable yields. It was impossible for them to be in such an embarrassing situation now.
But who can blame Hecun for awakening so many dolls at once?
The village elders couldn't help but see the children suffer, so they could only grit their teeth and endure.
Fortunately, it's all over now.
Thinking of this, Fourth Uncle He couldn't help but sigh.
Uncle He suddenly sensed someone at the door. When he looked up, he saw a familiar figure.
"Ah Xi, why did you come down the mountain? Or does Lu Wazi want to see me for something?" Fourth Uncle He saw Xi's messenger showing a surprised expression, then he reacted and slowly frowned.
"Brother Lu asked me to come down for something." The man handed the golden orange given by Ye Lu to Fourth Uncle He in a concise manner.
Fourth Uncle He took the wooden box with a puzzled look on his face, opened it, and the golden tangerines in the wooden box suddenly appeared in front of the two of them. At this time, no matter how stupid Fourth Uncle He was, he could tell from the smell of the golden tangerines that this was a precious and strange food that was definitely above the Qingyou level.
Fourth Uncle He frowned even deeper and was about to refuse.
The next moment, the voice of the playful man interrupted him.
"Brother Lu asked us to do this." Xi ordered the man to repeat Ye Lu's instructions concisely, and then said: "Brother Lu wants you to help, too."
"Not only you, but also Uncle He Qi, Chief Helan, and even some descendants of the He family, he will provide certain help. Chongshan is really conspicuous." The latter sentence was added by Ximingren himself.
It has to be said that this sentence hit upon the hidden worries in He Sishu's heart.
Although Fourth Uncle He was not aware of the reputation of Hecun Chongshan outside, he still knew that caravans were coming and going at the foot of Chongshan Mountain. Not to mention the aftermath of the evil god's attack on the village last time. The entire village did not have a single powerful evil warrior, and all relied on the sacrifices to the God of Fortune and Justice.
He Si noticed that Lu Wazi's clothes had changed, and he must have put in a lot of effort.
It is reasonable for Lu Wazi to want to make Hecun stronger now. After all, they should also contribute. His nephew even told him about his future plans.
No matter how much Fourth Uncle He objected, he was speechless at this moment.
No matter what, Uncle He thinks his nephew's safety is more important.
"...I understand. I will discuss this with the clan later. When you go back, reassure Lu Wazi and let him practice well. Although we old elders can't help much, we will definitely not hold him back." Fourth Uncle He was silent for a while, but soon he accepted this fact and said calmly to Xi Mingren.
When he saw the playful man's eyes curved, he knew that this Fourth Uncle He was a smart man.
The playful man went up the mountain leisurely, leaving behind his fourth uncle He who was worried and the elders of He village who had a sleepless night.
The three Ye Lu brothers gathered at the entrance of the cave where they practiced, and looked at the three golden oranges in front of them.
"Who goes first?" The ghost scholar looked at the Taoist priest with a calm face, then looked at the lazy playboy next to him and asked.
Ye Lu raised his eyebrows and was about to say himself first.
Unexpectedly, the next second, the playful person spoke first: "I'll go first?"
"No matter how you look at it, I should be the first to awaken this time." The playful man said with a squinting smile.
As soon as he spoke, the ghost scholar looked at Ye Lu unconsciously, trying to get his agreement.
Ye Lu understood that Xi had ordered his men to guard against the golden orange, not this strange plant. There was nothing to be afraid of the golden orange itself. The thing to be afraid of was that Wan Yao Valley had left a backup plan for the golden orange, and this was another strange plant from ten thousand years ago.
