Chapter 174
18 years old is the best age in the prophecy.
Liu Huaqi has already turned 18 years old. If he keeps putting it off, he might miss it.
Ayuan was very anxious, but Liuhua Zhuju asked her to be a little more patient.
"Honey, what are you waiting for? We don't have time anymore!" Ayuan was extremely anxious. She had finally waited until this day, and she would feel uneasy as long as things were not accomplished.
Liuhua Zhuju tried to comfort Ayuan, but she dodged his outstretched hand.
He could only helplessly explain, "Remember the roles we played on the day of the sacrifice?"
Of course I remember, using their death as parents in exchange for Ah Qi's despair, so that he could fall into despair better and become a highly adaptable host.
"But now, Aqi is distancing himself from us, and the effect may be greatly reduced."
Ayuan's expression turned pale in an instant, and then he began to sob softly.
"It's all my fault for being too soft-hearted. Why did he study in the Lingyan class? I should have let him go home earlier."
Everything else was trivial. If it affected His awakening, she would be blamed for it.
Liuhua Zhuju patted Ayuan on the back and said, "It's not too late now, dear. Whether we can save the relationship depends on you."
They are typical 'strict father and kind mother', and they have successfully trained Liu Huaqi to become an excellent psychic, but their expectations for him are not actually in the future.
I don’t know what happened in the past three years, but Aqi seems to have become a different person. Not being close to them is not a big deal, which can be understood as the child growing up, but there seems to be hostility hidden under those strange eyes, which is a bad thing.
Hopefully it can be salvaged, otherwise they might have to change their thinking.
——
The three of them didn't decide to go back until the sun went down. The old housekeeper also called and invited them to go back for dinner.
On the way back, Lin Zhipei heard the plants' calls to stay.
In fact, no matter where Linzhipei goes, she will be welcomed by the plants, and no matter when she leaves, she will be kept by the plants.
But this time it's different.
"Grandpa Tree!"
"It's Grandpa Tree!"
"Grandpa Tree invites you to reminisce about the past~"
"We have been waiting for you for a long, long time—"
Only Lin Zhipei could hear the plants' singing, but when it came to 'reminiscing about the past'... he suddenly realized that these plants still regarded him as Ju Mang.
“40! Wait a minute!”
Xi Siling braked the car and Lin Zipei immediately jumped out and ran into the woods on the side of the road.
Liuhuaqi saw Lin Chipei immediately forget himself and started talking to the plants, then he looked at Xi Siling.
"I'll tell the old housekeeper that I'll be back later."
This forest is obviously older than the flowers they saw when they entered the manor. According to Lin Zhipei, the plants are "models" passed down from generation to generation. Perhaps the plants want to tell Pepe something.
When he came to Lin Zhipei again, he seemed to know something.
"There is a Grandpa Tree. Um...how old is he?"
"100?"
"No, no! Grandpa Tree has existed since my grandpa's grandpa's grandpa was still alive!"
"So 200 years old?"
"No! Must be older!"
The plants were chirping and it was hard to make sense, so Lin Zhipei compromised.
"It's probably over a hundred years old! Anyway, it looks very old. It seems to know that I'm coming and wants to invite me to reminisce about the past!"
It is impossible for there to be a second person with the ability to control the same concept. Although it is not ruled out that there are special people with abilities who can listen to the voices of plants, it is obvious that plants will be closer to the person with the ability to control the concept.
Therefore, the voice that Lin Zhipei heard could not be false, and it was even less likely to be a trap.
Before Xi Siling and Liu Huaqi could express their opinions, Lin Zhipei took the initiative to say, "I want to go!"
Although it is not uncommon to see trees that have grown for hundreds of years, they are not rare! If they grow in the right place from the beginning, they will be living history for Linzhipei.
He could chat with such plants all day long, and just knowing some things about the past was enough to surprise him.
"Of course you don't have to come with me. After all, it might be a bit boring for you."
This is the truth. If there is anything important, Lin Zhipei will of course tell them after she comes back.
"What do you think?" Xi Siling knew that Liu Huaqi must be annoyed with his parents, so she gave him the choice.
"Then let's go back first." Liu Huaqi felt that he had to pretend at the beginning, otherwise if they became alert, something uncontrollable might happen.
"Okay." Xi Siling agreed, "Pepe, do you want me to pick you up later? Don't get lost."
Lin Zhipei put her hands on her hips and said, "How could I get lost? Even if you are worried about me, you don't have to worry about these children!"
That's true. Plants are much more sensitive to the directions of east, south, west and north than humans.
After seeing off her friends, Lin Zhipei followed the direction indicated by the plants.
In fact, after walking forward for a few minutes, you can see towering trees in the distance.
How could this be grown in 100 years? Judging from Lin Zhipei, it must have taken at least 300 years.
A big tree like this one, just by its existence, is the pride and infinite blessing of the forest.
Lin Zhipei walked in front of it.
"Grandpa Tree!" He called it like other plants.
——
"Grandpa Tree!" The emerald green-haired boy shouted loudly, calling it like other plants.
This was the first time that the 'plants' had a god in charge. They cheered, leaped for joy, and sang for the birth of the 'god'.
Although Grandpa Tree was happy, he also felt a little worried.
He has lived long and seen a lot, and he knows that humans are complex and contradictory. Even upgraded gods are still human in essence.
Grandpa Tree had no idea what kind of personality he had or what kind of thoughts he had.
But when he actually saw 'Him', Grandpa Tree knew that all his worries were unnecessary.
This is a good child, and also a leader with a sense of responsibility and great ideals.
Even though he might not realize it now.
Grandpa Tree looked at the pink-haired boy in front of him again, and finally realized that the child would never come back.
But the feeling he gave me was the same.
Don't worry, He will always prove everything to the world.
"I thought it was Him who came back... Sorry, kid."
The young plants had never seen Him, and Grandpa Tree judged by the breath and thought it was Ju Mang who had returned.
Lin Zhipei was not angry. He shook his head and said, "It's not Grandpa Tree's fault! I just wanted to see you!"
Strictly speaking, the power to control plants was 'stolen' by him, so it wasn't Tree Grandpa's fault for mistaking him for someone else.
"Besides, there is no way I can compare with him. Ju Mang is a god."
The Linzhi Pendant has a [core] that can contain the power of the engraved heart, but it is not an apocalypse mutant and cannot become a [god].
"You are different from him, but you are also the same." Grandpa Tree said earnestly, "Don't underestimate yourself."
Lin Zhipei smiled foolishly and didn't take it to heart.
"Grandpa Tree, what do you want to talk to me about? I also want to know his story."
Grandpa Shu couldn't tell the difference between Lin Zhipei and Ju Mang's aura. Even the fluctuations of their supernatural powers were the same, so he didn't know how Lin Zhipei got his power.
It is normal to be curious about your 'predecessors'.
"Then I'll tell you what I know about him."
——
When they first met, Ju Mang was still a 7-year-old child.
He was the son of a farmer's family at the foot of the mountain. Unfortunately, the entire village was buried by a huge landslide when he was 6 years old.
"Although it was later confirmed that this was not an accident, that is another story."
Ju Mang was the only one who survived. The plants that grew from the ground pushed away the huge rocks and compacted land and sent him back to the human world.
From then on, he became a 'savage' in the mountains.
Grandpa Tree told him many stories and taught him the rules of the human world. He was almost like his reborn parent.
"At that time, Ju Mang was really like a monkey, and the whole forest was his home."
Grandpa Tree's tone was full of nostalgia.
If Grandpa Tree hadn't taught him the rules, he would have howled with the animals in the forest.
It was a fairly free and relaxing time until a team from Mi Wen went into the mountains for training and discovered him.
At that time, the secret school was still a military academy, and the teacher who led the team became the principal later.
In short, even though this teacher didn’t know the fact that Ju Mang was a [god], he saw Ju Mang’s potential and invited him to join Secret Text and the Lingyan class that was about to be formed.
"I encouraged him to go to the human world and take a look. He is our god, but he doesn't belong here after all."
But the story doesn't end here.
"He's back again? Right!" Lin Zhipei listened very attentively. He also guessed that Ju Mang's story would definitely not end here.
Grandpa Tree smiled and said, "Yes, he is back. It hasn't been that long for me."
When he was about 18 years old, that is, after graduating from the Lingyan class, Ju Mang brought many friends back and established their "stronghold" on the mountainside.
"A lot of people? Who does Grandpa Tree remember?" Lin Zipei hoped to know more about the past. The few words in the diary were just a moment in life.
Grandpa Tree started to play dumb, "Haha, who are they? Who are they?"
Lin Zhipei was angry, "Grandpa Tree, please stop teasing me!"
Grandpa Tree smiled cheerfully and said, "It's already late today, kid, go back and have some rest. Come back tomorrow."
Maybe the 'old man' was lonely and wanted Lin Zhipei's company for a little longer, or maybe he had other ideas, so Grandpa Tree asked him to come again tomorrow.
You can't eat hot tofu in a hurry. Besides, Lin Zhipei is not leaving tomorrow. He is very patient and can wait.
"Okay! Then I'll come back tomorrow!"
He promised as if he was swearing.
When they returned to the manor where they lived, Xi Siling and Liuhuaqi had been waiting for a long time.
If Lin Zhipei doesn't come back, they should go out and look for her.
The child didn't realize anything was wrong yet, "Oh, I'm so hungry, is there anything to eat~"
Liu Huaqi smiled, although it was a bit creepy, "I told the old housekeeper that you can survive by drinking some flower dew, so there is no need to save any food for you."
Xi Siling: Poof——
Lin Zhipei's eyes widened, "What?! How come I didn't know that I could survive by drinking flower dew?! 77 How could you bear to let me starve!!!"
So the young man turned his back to the accusation and pretended he didn't hear it at all. Pepe could only look at his dear brother Siling.
Xi Siling was helpless, "I have some cakes to fill my stomach first."
"Great! 40, you're the best! Ten thousand times better than 77!"
Liuhuaqi: ...
