Chapter 199 Qing Xintao wakes up and what happens outside, Chongshan and the other two...
Chongshan and the other two naturally didn't know what was going on outside. Even if they knew, they wouldn't care. He had more important things to do now.
Time passed slowly, and in the blink of an eye it was spring.
Qingxin Tao finally gained spiritual consciousness.
The one who discovered the consciousness of the Qingxin Peach was Ye Lu, who went up the mountain every day. Although Ye Lu was focused on cultivation, the strange plant was also related to his cultivation, so naturally he would pay attention to it all the time and go up the mountain from time to time. The Qingxin Peach was currently a seed cultivated by him, and it was of utmost importance.
Ye Lu looked at the peach tree in front of him. The Qingxin Peach was no longer the weak sapling it was at the beginning. After growing for such a long time, with the addition of countless remains of strange plants and strange flesh and blood, the Qingxin Peach now had the initial appearance of a medium-sized tree.
The tree crown is lush and the branches are green, but there are no flower buds yet.
Ye Lu took a look and estimated that the buds would not bloom until next year.
This tree is still too weak, it lacks natural vitality.
"We still have to add the strange bead. I don't know when the Qingxin Peach's consciousness will come out." Ye Lu couldn't help but muttered as he looked at the branches of the Qingxin Peach.
From the outside, there is nothing wrong with the Qingxin Peach. At first glance, it looks as lush as an ordinary peach tree. In fact, if you know a little about it, you will find that the Qingxin Peach is a little weaker. What's more, it is a strange plant. Generally speaking, strange plants are much stronger than ordinary plants.
Ye Lu felt even more helpless in his heart. In the future, they still had to value the father tree. He just hoped that after feeding the strange pearl more, Qingshu would be better.
Just when Ye Lu was talking about spiritual consciousness, suddenly, he felt that the aura around him was different, with a hint of mysterious power.
"Who?" Ye Lu opened his eyes and asked calmly.
Wait, this breath seemed a little familiar to him.
Ye Lu moved, and his eyes subconsciously fell on the Qingxin Peach tree not far away. The Qingxin Peach tree did not move, but the branches seemed to be blown by the wind, making a slight sound.
"What? Is it spiritual consciousness?" Perhaps the voice hiding behind the tree knew that it had been discovered, or perhaps what Ye Lu just said made people curious, so this small voice, even though weak, couldn't help but ask.
Ye Lu subconsciously said: "Spiritual consciousness is spiritual consciousness."
Where does this sound come from?
Ye Lu moved his eyes downwards to the place where the sound had just been made. Behind the tree roots there was a small ball of red light.
This red light is not the kind of weird red light that makes people uncomfortable. On the contrary, if you look at it for a long time, you will feel that this red light has some influence on your mood. Only people with awakened talents can see this red light.
"Qingxin Peach?" Ye Lu recognized the small red light ball at the first moment. When he saw this small red light ball, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes. This was the first time Ye Lu saw red spiritual consciousness.
You should know that laurel trees and pine trees are both white, while other strange plants are either green or yellow.
Red? No, at present, the spiritual consciousness of the fire-type strange plants that Ye Lu knows of is not red.
Is there something special about the red strange plant consciousness? When Ye Lu saw the red consciousness, this was the first thing that came to his mind. After thinking for a while, he still couldn't come up with anything. Ye Lu could only let it go and quietly put it in his heart.
Although the red consciousness was afraid of the two-legged beast, Ye Lu came over often and fed it from time to time. After a while, it said weakly: "It's me~"
It knows that it is the Pure Heart Peach.
Not only the two-legged beast in front of it called it Qingxin Tao, but the two two-legged beasts that often came here before also called it Qingxin Tao. Over time, it knew the meaning itself.
Ye Lu looked relaxed. Although he guessed that it was Qing Xin Tao's consciousness, he was still afraid of the possibility. It would be great if Qing Xin Tao confirmed it.
"When did you wake up?" Since he had already been discovered, Ye Lu was not in a hurry to go down the mountain. He simply sat cross-legged and talked to Qingxin Tao's consciousness, while trying his best to let Qingxin Tao relax his vigilance.
Ye Lu could see very clearly that Qingxin Tao was not only weak in appearance, but also had a weak consciousness and was timid. If he didn't coax it now, it would probably be even more difficult to coax it out in the future.
"It's okay, come out. Aren't you familiar with my aura? You should be able to sense my aura, right?" Ye Lu treated the timid strange plant's consciousness well. While using his talent, he waved to the small consciousness hiding behind the tree roots, signaling it to come out.
"..." Qing Xintao's consciousness did not move. It carefully sensed the breath of the two-legged beast opposite. After a while, it confirmed that it was familiar and close, then it slowly floated out.
Qingxin Tao floated out, but the key point was that it was not very far away from the main body, only about one meter away. As long as Ye Lu made any move, it could slip back in a flash.
Ye Lu looked at the small red ball of light, then looked at the distance that could almost be described as pitiful, without saying a word. It turned out that the spiritual consciousness of the strange plants all had their own personalities.
This is fine. Ye Lu did not force Qingxin Tao to be closer to him. It was probably because the original body was too weak. Qingxin Tao was very timid and insecure.
"Are you coming here to burn my roots?" Qing Xintao said weakly, "Last time I saw that group of big rabbits pulling out the roots of the surrounding grass and burning them."
Qing Xintao asked very worriedly.
"Those are weeds, they will steal the nutrients from your land!" Ye Lu finally knew where the tree's paranoid complex came from. It turned out that this was the scene it saw when it woke up.
While comforting Qing Xintao's timidity, Ye Lu recalled the last time the big rabbits came to Shuifu Mountain to weed. Calculating the time, it has been almost three days, right?
This means that this little thing has been awakening its spiritual consciousness for three days, but it has been holding it in for such a long time without revealing any shadow. It also quietly looked around until it saw the movements of the big rabbits and felt threatened, then it could not help itself.
This time, Ye Lu was a little speechless.
Ye Lu rubbed his forehead, thinking that he was too timid. Next time, he would have to remind the big rabbits to pull out the weeds first when they help Qingxin Tao weed, and not burn them in front of it.
"Forget it, I'll tell the big rabbits next time." Generally speaking, other strange plants don't care what the big rabbits do in front of them. Even if they are pulling weeds, burning grass, or even eating grass in front of them, these strange plants will ignore it all, because it's not their business.
Strange plants are inherently quite ferocious.
But it seems that Qingxin Tao is not like that. It is easy for it to empathize with all the plants around it.
"Okay!" Qingxin Tao's consciousness said obediently.
"Do you know your role?" Ye Lu was also willing to tolerate Qing Xin Tao's personality. Every strange plant had its own role. If that was the case, there was no need to require strange plants with different roles to have the same personality.
"Effect?" Qing Xintao's consciousness jumped up and down, a little confused.
"You should have memory of the function of your own fruit, such as the time of flowering and fruiting?" This was also what Ye Lu knew after planting many strange plants.
The tricksters know the function of trick food, but what they know best is the trick themselves.
"You mean this?" Qing Xintao's consciousness suddenly realized something, and he was a little hesitant when he spoke: "It seems to be about the state of mind?"
"You don't have anything dark in your heart, but that tall biped has something dark in its heart. My fruit can get rid of that dark thing."
"The black thing?" Ye Lu raised his eyebrows. His first reaction was the inner demon, but then he realized that this thing should not be the inner demon. The inner demon is invisible and shapeless, so where did the black color come from? As for the tall two-legged beast.
"Is the tall two-legged beast you mentioned the one that often drags strange flesh and blood to feed you?" Ye Lu counted who was the tallest among the three brothers, raised his eyebrows and asked.
Qingxintao was even happier. Sure enough, it was the two-legged beast that he was close to who could really understand what he meant. He said with certainty: "It's that two-legged beast. His heart is dark and empty. When my fruit is ripe, can you give him a fruit?"
"One? Do you know how many fruits you will grow?" Ye Lu was originally going to give it to Ye Lu. This was Chongshan's tacit understanding. Basically, every time they got a new strange plant, the first batch of mature strange food from the new strange plant would definitely be eaten by the three brothers together, not to mention the Xi Ming people. Ye Lu was concerned about another point.
The Qingxin Peach seems to be a little smarter than other strange plants.
It knows its role in the human race, and also knows how many of itself there are.
The laurel tree was not so smart when it first came out, let alone knowing how many copies it had. It almost sold itself. The other strange plants that knew their own situation, including the golden orange and the green pine, were both old trees that had lived for an unknown amount of time and came back to life. It was not surprising that they knew more.
Qingxin Tao even knew how to make requests to it.
This is also different.
"I will grow four fruits in total!" Although Qingxintao didn't understand why the two-legged beasts cared about this, it just answered: "It will take a very long time to mature."
"You have to at least feed them the black soil, and feed them for a long, long time!" Qing Xintao tried hard to express her meaning and said, "There must be three or four black soils as big as me!"
The black soil is the remains of the strange plant.
Ye Lu calculated based on the bonus that the remains of the strange plant had on the Qingxin Peach, and it was about one hundred and fifty years. Then according to the maturity cycle of the strange plant, it would take fifty years to bloom, fifty years to bear fruit, fifty years to mature, and then a fifty-year fruit-resting period.
"Two hundred years?"
"Hmm!" Qing Xintao didn't know whether it understood or not, but it felt that the two-legged beast in front of it was right.
"Then you probably need to feed it for about five more years. For someone your size, a large strange plant remains is enough." Ye Lu couldn't help but frowning when he said this. To be honest, if he wasn't preparing to participate in the "Source Seeking Meeting", he would have been a little reluctant to give it up. The strange plant remains were too important.
One is too many. There are only three or four left in Wanyao Valley. We really have to use them sparingly. We still have to find new remains of strange plants as soon as possible, and we also have to urge the caravan to speed up.
The best ones are the Blood Grudge-level strange plant remains, but the Qingyou-level ones are not bad either.
"When will your flower bloom?" After thinking about it, Ye Lu remembered that the Yangteng tree had to grow up quickly. The faster it recovered, maybe he could find his previous memories. Then he looked up and asked a very abrupt question.
"It will take a while." The little red ball of light moved, and after a while, it said hesitantly: "It will take a while until it's really hot. I don't want to bloom now."
This? This is unexpected good news. A smile flashed in Ye Lu's eyes. He originally thought that the Qingxin Peach was too weak and that was why it bloomed slowly. It turned out that it did not bloom in spring.
