Chapter 337: Vines Sprout from the Mountains Ye Lu left the banquet, of course...
Ye Lu left the banquet, of course not knowing what these people were thinking.
Ye Lu just felt that his fourth uncle looked at him a little strangely during the banquet, but time was too tight and he had other things to do and could not delay the banquet, so Ye Lu did not think about it. After the banquet, he fell behind the small hill not far away again. Ye Lu slowly breathed a sigh of relief and began to feel confused.
"......." Ye Lu paused and said nothing.
Siye had been waiting by the side for a long time, but his uncle Lu didn't say anything, so he just stayed there obediently without saying a word.
Ye Lu continued to look puzzled and still didn't speak.
At this moment, Si Ye couldn't help it.
"Uncle Lu, what are you thinking about?" Siye couldn't help but ask when he saw Ye Lu's strange expression.
"Me?... What happened at the banquet just now?" Ye Lu asked in confusion. Did he mess up? That shouldn't be the case. He felt that his uncle's expression was not like that.
Siye wondered what Uncle Lu was thinking, but she never expected it to be this. Siye, who had just watched the whole thing, had a strange expression on her face and said in a very complicated way, "No, you performed very well, or rather, better than expected."
Siye was sure that he had seen his uncle's relieved look just now.
"You maintained the demeanor of a Blood Grudge-level trickster very well at the banquet. Fourth Uncle looked satisfied and pleased." Siye paused and still didn't speak directly. His uncle Lu never cared about this. If you talked too much, he would think you were boring. So Siye decisively said it in a tactful way.
Sure enough, Ye Lu was very satisfied with what Ye Lu said.
"Then can I go back to the mountain now?" Ye Lu looked at Siye and the Ghost Scholar.
Siye said affirmatively: "Of course."
"You've done well enough. I think you've done everything your uncle wanted to do. You can go up the mountain now." Siye said with a smile.
Ye Lu heaved a sigh of relief upon hearing this, and could not wait to go up the mountain. There were too many people at the foot of the mountain who were weak in strength but had a lot of ideas, which gave him a headache. He didn't know why his uncle and the ghost scholar could stay there for so long. It was just like what the ghost scholar often said with a smile, fighting with others was endless fun.
Ye Lu turned and left, not caring about the Ghost Scholar and Siye who were still there. This time when he returned to the mountain, he would definitely taste the tea well.
Ye Lu returned to the stone table halfway up the mountain. The big bird Axi followed him and landed behind the stone table. He made some tea and tasted the hot tea. Only then did Ye Lu feel relaxed and thought that this was a heavenly day.
A few more days passed.
Siye went up the mountain on time again to learn how to manage the affairs on Chongshan. As soon as he arrived at Chongshan, he felt relaxed. Although Siye knew his own affairs, he was still young and liked to play. No one cared about him on the mountain, and the ghost scholar had something to do for the time being, so he just had fun.
"Si Ye." Ye Lu was not surprised to see Si Ye going up the mountain, he just called him calmly.
"Uncle Lu." Siye greeted him with a smile.
Ye Lu looked at Siye for a moment. The mountain had gradually cooled down. However, the people on the mountain were either strange plants or strange beasts or strange people who were not human. Temperature had no effect on them. On the mountain, you could still see the fluttering green. When Siye was on the mountain, people would always think that it was a large animal having fun or raising its ears. After watching for a while, Siye suddenly asked, "How is uncle now?"
Siye replied subconsciously: "It's already done."
After Siye finished answering, he realized whose question he was answering. He looked at Ye Lu guiltily, smiled and tried hard to pretend to be innocent. Woohoo, he is innocent, Uncle Lu can be a witness. Siye tried hard to make his smile sound as harmless as possible, while looking at Ye Lu eagerly.
Ye Lu snorted and retracted his gaze: "Is Fourth Uncle satisfied?"
Siyesong sighed, Uncle Lu didn't pursue the matter any more, that was great, he replied: "Satisfied, satisfied, Uncle Lu, as soon as you appeared, I don't know how many villages changed their minds, those people who came in from the Forbidden Stone Mountains are now being forced to jump up and down by Fourth Uncle and his men, and they are trying to show off their power to He Village. Many villages are even interested in the strange food at the banquet and are willing to exchange with us. We have almost 16 kinds of strange food in our village."
Yotsuba's last words were announced with a beaming expression.
Just one banquet brought Hecun a profit of nearly five shares of the strange plants.
When Ye Lu heard this, he understood that Hecun had officially confirmed his status in the Forbidden Stone Ridge.
"Five kinds of strange plants?" Ye Lu was surprised by another thing.
Siye knew what he was surprised about, and said readily: "Uncle Lu, you have the same idea, right? Although these forces in Jinshi Mountain Range are inconspicuous, they all have a lot of treasures in their hands." Even now, Hecun can still be sure that many villages still have good treasures.
Five shares of strange plants are already the limit, no more. We can't force these villages to continue to give out shares of strange plants. Hecun knows the status of the shares of strange plants in the village's power. You? If you dare to threaten them, you really dare to run away.
There is no need. The current Forbidden Stone Ridges are exactly what Hecun wants. Hecun only needs to develop slowly. Those villages will think that Hecun's strange food is good stuff, and sooner or later they will be willing to give it out.
The people in He Village were not panicked at all.
All they can do is show that they are strong enough to protect themselves and their vassals, and then come up with good things that are eye-catching.
Time goes by day by day.
Ye Lu had confirmed with Siye that Hecun's matter was roughly completed and then he stopped caring about it. Both the ghost scholar and his fourth uncle were very interested in this matter, so why should he care?
Ye Lu is now fully focused on the Huangzhongli and Chongshan vines that he recently planted.
The seeds of the two strange plants were planted at about the same time, and the strange plant resources used were also similar, but the time it took for the seedlings to emerge was different.
The Chongshan vines sprouted earlier than the Huangzhongli and as soon as the little bit of tender green emerged from the black and moist soil, Ye Lu could feel the jubilant spiritual consciousness of the Chongshan strange plants.
“........”
"?"
Ye Lu felt the consciousness of the strange plants around him and slowly asked a question mark. The consciousness of the vines of the mountains was not as immature as that of the strange plants. It was too joyous. What about the stupidity when it was just born? Not to mention that the laurel, which was considered slow in development among the strange plants, even if it was as smart as Qingsong, had a period of infancy.
At this stage, the consciousness of the strange plant is too immature and it has not fully mastered its own inherited memory, so it will ask questions to its companion.
This was the moment Ye Lu wanted to see.
Oh, a cuter version of the Heavy Mountain Vine Spirit. Ye Lu finds it interesting just thinking about it. He has already figured out how to play with the Heavy Mountain Vine Spirit.
Just like the way they used to play with the vines in the mountains when they were kids!
I never expected that this hope would be dashed.
"You? What's that expression?" Unexpectedly, Chongshan Tengman was the first to be unhappy when he saw Ye Lu's expression. Why was the little brat so surprised? What's wrong with him?
"Your... spiritual consciousness came out so quickly?" Ye Lu hesitated for a while before saying this. In order to prevent Chongshan Tengman from thinking the wrong thing, Ye Lu also explained: "I originally thought that you would emerge a while later."
After all, the two-story building is quite popular. Generally, the seeds of strange plants hate noise. If they are in a noisy environment, their germination time will be prolonged.
"It's normal for me to sprout quickly." Chongshan vines said lazily: "How can Huangzhongli sprout so quickly? You're overthinking it."
"....Why?" Ye Lu wondered.
"I don't want to say." Chongshan Tengman decisively rejected the little brat's unreasonable request. What a joke. If you don't understand something, just think about it yourself.
Ye Lu was too familiar with the Chongshan vines. When he heard Chongshan vines talking lazily, he knew that he didn't want to talk anymore. If you want to continue asking, he has plenty of ways to torment you. If you object, he will still argue that it was you who insisted on asking, and it's useless for him to refuse. What's wrong with him to tormenting you since you have nothing to do?
Ye Lu withdrew his hand decisively.
Then he asked another more concerning question.
"When will the yellow plums sprout?" Ye Lu asked a question that it was more concerned about now.
The strange plant on the mountain vines looked at the sky with its spiritual sense and felt that the whole vine was lazy. There was nothing it could do. Although it had reached the best ending now, the injuries it had suffered would not disappear and it would take a long time to heal. Fortunately, its little cub was a smart two-legged beast and knew to use the strange plant resources to heal it. As long as the wound healed, it should be able to continue to bloom and bear fruit. As for another thing, the little cub was more concerned about.
"...About half a month." Chongshan Tengman pondered for a moment and said: "The yellow plum sprouts a little slowly, but the strange plant's consciousness is born faster. It is estimated that the sprout and the consciousness are born at the same time."
"You can meet it when the time comes." After talking for a while, the mountain vine seemed to lose interest again. It returned to its lazy tone and said, "But I guess it doesn't know much."
Chongshan Tengman guessed that Huang Zhongli definitely did not have his original memories. He did not need to think about what the kid wanted to ask just now. It was nothing more than his past memories. The kid had lost his memory for a period of time.
The little boy intuitively felt that his memory was related to these spiritual plants.
In fact, his intuition was correct, but the heavy mountain vines could not be told. The kid had to figure it out himself. No matter how much power these spiritual plants and strange beasts had outside, it would be useless.
The little brat can’t remember.
Among the spiritual plants, there are only a few like him and Qingsong. For a strange plant like Huang Zhongli to enter another world, it can only be said that it will be suppressed more severely by destiny. Chongshan vines even suspected that the consciousness of the strange plant born by Huang Zhongli might be blank. Later, they thought it was impossible. That was Huang Zhongli, such a cunning and smart strange plant. It could protect itself from birth to the war and lasted for who knows how many tens of thousands of years. How could it not even anticipate such a thing? You told it that it would die in this matter? Then Chongshan vines guessed that Huang Zhongli could keep half of his memory.
Ye Lu was skeptical, but fortunately he heard the information he wanted.
"I know. When it sprouts, I will go up the mountain to see it." Ye Lu assured the heavy mountain vines.
"Hehe." I don't know if Ye Lu's previous questions angered the heavy mountain vines or if its spiritual consciousness was a little fragile after just coming out, and the time it could appear was not long. It was probably none of the above. Anyway, as soon as it responded to Ye Lu's questions, it waved the vines and prepared to go back to rest.
"I'm going back to sleep. You'd better take care of anything on your own." Heavy Mountain Vines gave a perfunctory reminder, and the strange plant's consciousness disappeared into the tender little seedling. Silence returned to the waterfall beside the two-story building.
Ye Lu stared at the lush green seedlings of Chongshan vines and doubted himself. Did he see it wrong just now? Have the Chongshan seedlings grown a little bigger?
"It seems to be a little bigger?" Ye Lu muttered softly.
"Jie!" The big bird next to him chirped in agreement. It had just seen that the seedling had grown a little bigger.
Ye Lu stood up again. He had memorized all of Chongshan Vine's words in his mind, and had almost figured out the image of Huang Zhongli's strange plant consciousness.
Smart, cautious, and vigilant, he can be considered a smart version of the Guimen expert. Maybe the Guizhi's consciousness is a little immature when it is just born?
When Ye Lu actually saw Huang Zhongli's spiritual consciousness, the facts were beyond his expectations.
