Chapter 223
"Master, Master, we are going on an autumn outing today!"
"A huge tree has grown on the plain. I keep flying, but I can't reach the branches!"
When he said this, the originally cheerful and cheerful voice of the little fat bird suddenly became angry. The originally chubby little snowball became even rounder because of the fluff.
There was a hint of thought in the calm red eyes under the mask.
"Tree demon?"
The originally angry little fat bird tilted his head, "Tree demon? What is that?"
"A kind of monster."
After that, he didn't explain any more.
Compared to Su Su in the little mountain sparrow's impression, the man in red was obviously more taciturn. He would not speak unless it was necessary. The little mountain sparrow was already used to it.
A monster is probably a kind of monster!
Anyway, it didn't feel threatened by the big tree, and when it was withering, Su Su rescued it, so it should be a good one!
Thinking of this, it complained again: "I'm so tired of flying, that tree is really too tall! How did it grow so tall?"
Then, the little tit talked about Mu Yuncheng and his son. It had a good impression of the new father and son.
"Let me tell you, Mu Bao's hair can turn into vines and bloom! By the way, that big tree also bloomed, and it smelled especially good. I haven't smelled such a good fragrance..."
It was also attracted by the fragrance that it tried desperately to fly to the treetops, but gave up halfway through.
After talking about Mu Yuncheng and his son, the little tit talked about Su Ci teaching Xiao Lihua.
"Xiao Lihua wants to be a painter in the future, it sounds so cool! But I can't paint, and it sounds so difficult..."
The little tit jumped on the palm of the man in red, chirping and sharing with him what she saw and heard today. The quiet space was filled with its childish and cheerful voice, and one person spoke the words of ten people.
The man in red listened quietly, nodding occasionally, which was a great encouragement to the little tit.
After an unknown amount of time, the little tit finally said it was tired. It fell on the palm of the man's hand, rolled on the spot, and then curled up its two thin claws and sighed with satisfaction.
In the empty sealing barrier, it seemed that the aftereffects of its words just now were still echoing.
"Master, when can I transform into a human form?"
Before, Jiujiu had never thought that he would be a human being, nor did he think that being a titmouse was a bad thing.
But now he doesn't think so.
He wants to play with Xuewei and the cubs in the nursery, wants to go on adventures with them to fight monsters, and wants to always be by Xuewei's side to protect her...
But if he is a little titmouse, he can only be the one being protected forever.
In the nursery, every cub has their strengths.
Even the panda cub Lai Xixi, who came later than him, began to learn how to refine instruments from Brother Ayan after turning back into a human form.
Xixi is strong, but not as big as Xuewei who is difficult to control. Susu also praised her for her cleverness and dexterity, saying that she is suitable to be an instrument cultivator and can learn how to refine various instruments from Brother Ayan.
For example, the soul-storing bag used by the cubs was created by the weapon repairman. There are also various other magical things that Brother Ayan will teach her carefully.
It is not obvious now, but it is conceivable that Xixi will definitely play a huge role in the future!
Unlike it, because its body is too small, it can't even carry a soul-storing bag...
When the little tit thinks of this, it feels very sad.
"I really want to become a human form quickly..."
"Master~"
It looks up at the man in red with a pair of small black bean-like eyes, and acts coquettishly in a childish voice. Probably no one can refuse such a plump little bird.
However, the man in red was unmoved.
He stretched out his finger and touched the head of the little tit, and gently pushed it. The little fat tit that had just jumped up rolled back like a furry ball and rolled directly off his palm.
"Master!" The little tit flapped its wings and flew up, shouting angrily.
"As long as you practice hard and don't be lazy, you will be able to transform sooner or later." The man in red wiped off the dust on his palm and said in a cold voice.
A trace of guilt flashed in the little tit's eyes, and it said stubbornly: "I'm not lazy! If I was lazy, how could I learn to speak so quickly, don't you think?"
The man in red glanced at it and was too lazy to answer.
The little titmouse couldn't help but reflect on itself. Well, ever since it learned to speak and the master gave it the ability to enter and exit here freely, it often ran out to play and inevitably became lazy...
It flapped its wings and finally landed on the shoulder of the man in red, and said in a flattering tone: "Master, I know I was wrong. I won't run out to play every day in the future. Don't be angry with me."
Seeing that the man in red ignored it, the little titmouse bravely said: "If you don't say anything, I will take it as your agreement?"
"..."
The man in red remained silent, and the little titmouse became happy, "Hehe, I knew that master is the best!"
Then it took advantage of the situation and flew to the top of the man's head. As a result, it was pulled down as soon as it landed, and then fell into a ball of water.
The ball of water was about the size of two adult palms, suspended in the air, and the little tit could not move even if it fluttered in it.
"I took a bath! My body is clean!" the little tit protested.
"What did you use to wash it?"
"Of course it was sand!"
The little tit just finished speaking, and then it was soaked in the water again. After being forced to drink a few sips of water, it finally knew to shut up.
After it took a good bath in the water and washed away all the sand on its body, the ball of water finally disappeared, leaving the little tit, which was soaking wet like a drowned bird.
It glanced at the man in red, but did not dare to throw the water drops on him. It waited for the man in red to turn it into a towel, and then it hummed and groaned and got in.
The little tit burrowed into the towel, and after some struggling, it finally poked its little head out.
It looked at the man in red who was sitting there all the time, and the chains on him, and couldn't help asking, "Master, when can you leave here?"
Although the little tit knew that its master was another Su Su, it really couldn't think of the two of them as one person.
The master had been staying in this barrier, guarding the seal, and it was said that he had been there for many years. It had been here for almost a month and felt like it was going crazy, otherwise it wouldn't have learned to speak so quickly.
Thinking about how its master had been here for so long and couldn't even go out for some fresh air, the little tit felt that its master was really too miserable!
It felt miserable, but the man in red didn't react at all.
He looked up at the void above his head. After the spirit of resentment was dispersed, the resentment did not dissipate with it. It was still sealed in the land.
If this large-scale resentment is allowed to break through the seal of the land and leave, it will not only harm the life on the planet, but also threaten the interstellar space.
By then, the spirit of resentment may really come back.
However, the efforts on the ground in the past few months have been fruitful. The growth rate of the purifying spiritual grass is very fast, and it can survive even in places with harsh environments.
At this rate, it will probably take less than a hundred years to completely purify the resentment in the land.
He said it lightly, but the little tit screamed: "A hundred years? That's too long!"
It felt that it could not live that long. Long
? The man in red looked down at it. For him, who had been guarding here for tens of thousands of years, a hundred years was just a matter of a snap of the fingers. However, for this little tit, it could be a lifetime.
If another him thought of this, he would probably be sad again, but there was no turmoil in his heart. If
this is your fate, why bother yourself with troubles?
"If you practice diligently, you may be able to continue to shorten this time." The man in red said calmly.
The total amount of resentment is not fixed. While it decreases due to purification, it will also increase due to resentful spirits. Therefore, purifying resentment is only a temporary solution. How to let the resentful spirits return to the earth is the fundamental solution.
"Really? If I practice diligently, can you go out earlier?" The little tit crawled out of the towel, flew to the man, and asked anxiously.
Its feathers were almost dry, with only a little moisture, looking brand new and very cute.
"Yes." The man in red nodded.
"Then I won't be lazy, I will practice here tomorrow, and wait... wait for the day after tomorrow, no, the day after tomorrow!" The little tit made a promise.
Su Su said that we should combine work and rest. It's not too much for it to go out and play once every two days?
The man in red did not comment on its arrangement, and the little tit did not want his answer. After that, it started today's practice.
Jiujiu didn't ask why its training could shorten the time he was away from here. Anyway... the master is Su Su, and whatever Su Su says is right!
The man in red looked at it quietly, and a smile finally appeared in his light red eyes.
Because he listened to the cubs' advice, Mu Yuncheng decided to look for Su Ci the next day, so after dinner, he took his son away from the nursery.
Although Base 24 arranged accommodation for them, Mu Yuncheng was still worried about his ancestor staying alone on the plain.
He took his son on a small flying ship and left Base 24 together, preparing to spend the night under the big tree.
Because there had been no monster attacks for several months, the night patrols at Base 24 were much more relaxed than before, and Mu Yuncheng's flying ship left the base without encountering any obstacles.
This time, his mood was completely different from before, and he had the leisure to observe the surrounding scenery.
After flying out of the protective wall of Base 24, he saw the wasteland covered with star chain fruit vines - of course, it could no longer be described as a wasteland.
Mu Yuncheng has the blood of plants, and he could tell at a glance that something was wrong with this star chain fruit field.
"Dad, this star chain fruit is so big!" Mu Bao said.
Mu Yuncheng nodded, touched the top of his head with satisfaction, and then continued to observe the star chain fruit tree.
After entering autumn, this star chain fruit tree no longer bears fruit, and the number of giant insects wandering on the fruit field has also decreased, making it peaceful and harmonious under the night.
Mu Yuncheng has seen plants that grow on a larger scale than this star chain fruit. The most recent one is Mu Qing, but that is the ancestor of the wood family and has been growing for tens of thousands of years.
As for this star chain fruit tree, Mu Yuncheng is sure that it is still very young and should not have grown for more than a year.
This is very surprising.
However, Mu Yuncheng soon realized that this is the Hell Star, a place where mutant plants are abundant. He had thought about coming here to conduct research at the base before.
It was just delayed because of various things, and the Star Alliance was also extremely opposed to the Wood Clan who had awakened their bloodline power coming to Hell Star, fearing that they would be polluted like those plants and get into trouble.
Therefore, the Wood Clan who had awakened their bloodline power had never set foot on Hell Star, and those ordinary members of the clan could not sense the abnormality of this planet, which led to them searching for their home planet for so many years but never found it!
Fortunately, it is not too late now, and green plants that can purify pollutants have appeared on Hell Star. Given time, they will definitely be able to restore their home planet to be as beautiful as before!
Mu Yuncheng's small flying ship left the orchard and continued to fly to the plain.
The plain was quiet at night, and only the sound of insects could be heard. Clouds and mist covered the head, blocking the moonlight, but the plain was not plunged into darkness, because -
the huge tree standing tall on the plain actually emitted a faint green light.
Mu Yuncheng thought he was dazzled, until Mu Bao said happily: "Dad, the old man is shining!"
Only then did he confirm that he was not seeing things, but that the tree was really emitting light! This had never happened before, and Mu Yuncheng couldn't help but be amazed.
He drove the flying ship around the tree twice and recorded all the details he observed.
He found that Mu Qing was still asleep. The light was flickering like the frequency of breathing, which was very magical.
However, as the sky darkened, the atmosphere on the plain seemed to be slowly changing. Mu Bao noticed this and couldn't help but hold on to his father's clothes.
At this time, Mu Yuncheng's communicator also rang.
He looked around and found that it was Zhou Yan, the breeder from the nursery. He seemed to be the young man who followed the breeder Su.
Mu Yuncheng received his message through his good friend.
Zhou Yan: [Please live in the cottage by the river]
Mu Yuncheng didn't understand, but he had one advantage, which was that he was very obedient, so he thanked A Yan, and then took Mu Bao to live in the cottage by the river.
When they walked into the cottage, they suddenly felt that the strange atmosphere on the plain disappeared, and Mu Bao, who was originally uneasy, also calmed down.
The house is not big, but it is complete with all the necessary facilities. Mu Yuncheng quickly took his son to take a hot bath.
Seeing the child's legs recover, even though he knew it was true, Mu Yuncheng couldn't help but have red eyes. He said, "Your mother will be very happy to see you recover."
Mu Bao's face was flushed by the hot water. He nodded his head, hummed, and asked, "When can I see my mother? Can we bring my mother here?"
"Well, Dad is preparing, and we can see her in a while."
"Great!"
Mu Bao shouted happily, with a bright smile on his face that had not appeared for a long time.
At night, he and his father crawled into a quilt, looking at the unfamiliar roof, but felt unprecedented peace of mind and joy.
"Dad, I love this place so much." He said, "I love everything about it!"
"Go to sleep and go to see the spirit of the earth tomorrow."
"Okay!"
