After returning to the village, start chasing the mountain from binding Emei

Chapter 204 There is something strange about this paulownia tree!

This kid, would he pour pesticide on himself just because of a disagreement?

Although it has become popular now and has been blessed by God, it does not mean that it is immune to all poisons. Some herbicides can still cause considerable harm to it.

But soon, he found something wrong.

As the juice seeped into the soil, his roots began to tremble as if reflexively just by coming into contact with the liquid.

Cool.

It's like the hottest days of summer, and someone brings you a glass of delicious iced sour plum juice.

It's like it's a freezing winter and someone brings you a bowl of hot mutton soup.

So cool.

Almost subconsciously, his roots twisted and quickly absorbed the half bottle of liquid.

Streams of magical power were quickly transmitted to every part of its body.

After being exposed to the sun for an afternoon, the leaves that were originally a little wilted quickly became green and plump.

The place on its body that was struck by lightning was originally unbearably painful, but under the nourishment of this magical energy, it actually felt a cool sensation, and the pain was reduced a lot, and it even felt comfortable.

There is no doubt that the injury is being repaired.

However, this energy was quickly consumed by its huge body.

After a while, the pain in my body came back again.

"hiss!"

From being extremely happy to being extremely unhappy, it only took a moment for the Wutong tree to take a deep breath.

"Okay, Mr. Wu, since you are not interested, I will leave first."

Chen Yang picked up the bottle, turned around and left.

"Don't."

Wutongshu hurriedly called out, "Why are you leaving, kid, what was that drink you just gave me?"

Chen Yang stopped, looked back at the phoenix tree, and shook the bottle in his hand. "What are you talking about? Didn't I say that I knew that Elder Wu was injured by the thunderbolt, so I asked someone to find a spiritual medicine for you. You can think of it as a kind of life essence, which is especially effective for spiritual plants like you. However, Elder Wu, you are not interested, so forget it. I am just being sentimental."

"do not."

The sycamore tree, which had tasted the elixir, would never let Chen Yang leave like that. Its leaves were shaking with excitement. "Boy, no, little brother, what was your name? Chen Yang, right? Little brother Chen Yang, I am very interested in your elixir..."

The old voice was somewhat incoherent.

"Really interested?"

"If you are really interested, please stop teasing me, an old man. I was wrong before. I took your kindness for granted. Please be magnanimous and don't bother with me. Give me the things quickly. I am almost going crazy from all this pain..."

Just know that no spiritual plant can resist the temptation of [Plant Growth Essence].

Chen Yang didn't bother with him. He went back to the tree and poured the remaining half bottle of liquid under the tree.

"Woo!"

The paulownia tree hummed softly, as if it was about to take off.

The leaves rustled and the roots seemed to be dancing lightly.

Large patches of blackened bark on its body caused by lightning were slowly falling off, and fresh, tender bark was growing in the fallen areas.

It is a recovery that can be seen by the naked eye.

After about five or six minutes, this process stopped.

The wound on its body covered a large area, and the medicine was limited in strength, so it couldn't heal all of it, but by the time the medicine ran out, one third of it had been repaired.

"Any more? Give me some more!" the Wutong tree shouted hurriedly.

"Not urgent."

Chen Yang said slowly, "You ate too much at once, your body can't digest it, take it easy, how do you feel now?"

"It's much more comfortable than before, little brother. I can digest it. Just come directly."

The paulownia tree was impatient.

The banyan tree had reminded Chen Yang that the sycamore tree had a strange temper. It needed help from him now, so it was being humble. Once he fed it, Chen Yang couldn't guarantee that it would still be as nice as it was now.

If he were to turn against himself, Chen Yang would have nowhere to cry.

Investment requires seeing returns. If I don’t see returns, how can I dare to continue investing?
"Don't worry, Mr. Wu. I still have some of this stuff. You can digest it first and then we can chat for a while. I'll give you more later."

“There are so many scenes.”

Wutongshu knew what he was thinking, so he spat and said, "What do you want to find out from me?"

"Mr. Wu is truly extremely wise." Chen Yang praised.

"Stop kissing my ass."

The Wutong tree said, "In fact, I had a spiritual connection with Huang Ge two days ago, and it mentioned you to me. I also know why you came."

"Oh?"

Chen Yang paused for a moment, "So you know everything?"

"No, I do not know!"

"what?"

"For example, if you want to know what's going on in the underground palace, I don't know."

Before Chen Yang could even open his mouth to ask, the next words were blocked by the phoenix tree.

The air froze for a few seconds.

Chen Yang said, "Old Wu, you have been in Jianfeng Mountain for at least five hundred years. You should be the most familiar with the situation in Jianfeng Mountain. The underground palace should not have existed for more than two hundred years. I don't believe you when you say you know nothing."

"Believe it or not."

The phoenix tree shook its leaves and said, "The underground palace has existed for more than two hundred years..."

At this point, he paused.

As if he noticed Chen Yang was looking at him with a strange look, he shook the leaves and immediately changed his words, "I mean, I really don't know."

It’s really trying to hide something.

Just now it was clearly talking and was about to open up.

"If Elder Wu knows anything, please tell me everything." Chen Yang became serious at this moment, "As far as I know, there are many evil things hidden in the underground palace. If they are not removed, it will most likely lead to disaster in the future..."

"Hey."

The phoenix tree sighed, "They are hiding in the underground palace and they haven't come out to cause trouble yet. Why bother to provoke them?"

Chen Yang's eyes moved slightly, "Old Wu really understands them. They are able to behave themselves. Of course, I will not provoke them. However, you said that they did not come out to cause trouble. This is not true. As far as I know, a few years ago, a Polygonum multiflorum plant sneaked out of the underground palace and went to Qishan to cause trouble, hurting many lives..."

At this point, he paused and asked, "I think Mr. Huang has told you about this, right?"

The phoenix tree shook its branches again. He was silent for a long time, as if hesitating. "Boy, it's not that I don't want to tell you, it's because I care about you. The situation in the underground palace is really complicated. There are more than one or two evil creatures in it. Even old man Jin Ming doesn't dare to go too deep. If it were you, you can't even reach the spiritual realm. Going in would only be like sending yourself to death."

So, it's for my own good?
Chen Yang said, "I just want to understand the situation. I didn't say I want to go in. Elder Wu, you see I have come all this way. You can't let me go back empty-handed, right?"

"Hey."

Wutongshu sighed deeply, "How about this, if you can help me solve the mess left by old man Jin Ming, I can consider telling you the situation in the underground palace."

"Ok?"

Chen Yang raised his eyebrows, "What mess?"

Wutongshu said, "It's what old man Longdeng asked you to do."

Chen Yang was stunned when he heard this.

"Are you saying that the temple has been harassed recently because of Master Jinming?"

"Ah."

The roots of the phoenix tree arched again, as if changing to a more comfortable position. "This old monk felt that his time was running out some time ago, so he said goodbye to me and ran to the underground palace alone."

"He said he wanted to make one last effort to completely resolve the hidden dangers in the underground palace..."

"Apart from anything else, this old monk can indeed be considered a great monk. He sacrificed his life for the Dharma and has stayed at Bamian Mountain for half his life, almost never leaving..."

"What a pity, his luck was just a little bad. His action failed before it even started. Not only did he fail to eliminate the hidden danger, but he also got himself into trouble..."

"He didn't even make it to the underground palace. When he reached the Red Creek Valley, he was blocked by a group of bats in the Yellow Ox Cave."

"The old monk is old after all. No one gets any benefit from a fight..."

"This old monk is in a hurry to get to the underground palace. I don't know what's wrong with him. He wants to imitate the ancestor of the Buddha and cut off his flesh to feed the eagle. He discussed with the bat king and took the initiative to let the bat king suck his blood. He wants to influence the blood bat king. Don't you think it's ridiculous?"

"He really gets more naive as he gets older. Could it be that he thinks that the bat's soul can be cleansed by his monk's blood?"

"The result is predictable. Although he managed to save the bat king in the end, he himself was also contaminated and poisoned, and fled back in a panic."

"After he came back, he locked himself in the meditation room and refused to eat or drink for about half a month. He gave Long Deng and the others some instructions, and then he passed away."

……

"Ah, this..."

Chen Yang was a little stunned for a moment. Monk Jin Ming actually died like this.

He is over a hundred years old, and he still goes to the underground palace. What is he doing?

Monk Jinming is a great monk after all, so he shouldn't be so irrational, right?

Or is it that when a person is about to die, his thoughts become a little distracted?
"So, the bats are harassing Jianfeng Temple because Master Jinming killed the bat king?" This is understandable, but Chen Yang is still a little confused. "I heard from the monks in the temple that in addition to the bats, there are also crows joining in the fun. What's going on?"

"It's not just the crows. All the animals with some spiritual perception in the nearby mountains and forests have come to join in the fun."

The phoenix tree shook its leaves, as if it was a little tired. "Fortunately, I am still here. My presence makes them feel fearful, so they just hang around the temple and dare not come in."

Chen Yang pinched his chin and thought for a while, "Logically speaking, since the Bat King is dead, the bat group should have dispersed, or a new king should have emerged. There is no reason for them to cling to revenge for the old king..."

How can wild beasts have so much friendship?

His intuition told him that this group of bats had been harassing the temple for such a long time, and it might not be as simple as Wutongshu said.

There may be another hidden story behind this.

"Mr. Wu, if things are just as you said, it shouldn't be difficult to resolve this matter, right?" Chen Yang asked.

The Bat King is dead, is this group of bats still so difficult to deal with?
"hehe."

Wutongshu smiled. "After Jinming died, Longdeng and his men cremated him and burned out two relics. One was sent back to Baoguo Temple for worship, and the other was kept and worshipped in a side hall next to Puxian Hall. So, I think these things are probably coming for this relic."

"Relic?"

Chen Yang was a little surprised.

Wutong said, "Jin Ming is a master in the spiritual realm. His spiritual cultivation has reached the level of creation. It is not uncommon for him to condense one or two relics. If he can be given another ten or twenty years, it should not be a problem for him to enter the realm of creation. It's a pity that the lifespan of you humans is really short..."

Speaking of this, Wutong felt very sorry.

In the past in the temple, Jin Ming was the only person who could communicate with him, and the two of them could be considered old friends.

"The relics contain a huge amount of spiritual power. If they are obtained by these beasts that already have spiritual perception, it is very likely to help them achieve success and give birth to spirituality..."

"For them, this is an opportunity!"

……

"Xiaoyang!"

As the man and the tree were chatting, they heard Liu Henghu's voice from afar.

Before the voice fell, the burly figure appeared in the backyard.

"Brother Tiger!"

"Could it be that you can really communicate with him?"

Liu Henghu looked up at the sycamore tree in front of him, reached out and touched the tree, as if he was examining something.

"Just a simple exchange!"

Chen Yang did not hide it. For Liu Henghu, this was not something incredible.

Liu Henghu nodded slightly. To him, it was indeed not strange.

In the Panshan business, it is well known that the existence of the spiritual realm can communicate with spiritual plants and spiritual beasts.

But the root cause is actually mental strength.

When the physical body and qi and blood are strong enough, they will feed back to the mental power and promote the improvement of mental power.

Although Chen Yang has not reached the spiritual realm, he has a strong physique. A strong physique stimulates the improvement of mental power. It is very likely that this guy's mental power is stronger than that of ordinary people.

Therefore, being able to communicate with spiritual plants is not unreasonable.

"What did you talk about?" Liu Henghu asked.

His eyes were always on the paulownia tree, with undisguised scrutiny.

He came to Jianfeng Temple this time for an important purpose, which was actually for this tree.

This tree has been blessed and cannot be treated as an ordinary spiritual plant. It is very important to know whether it is a good or evil species.

If it is an evil seed, it must be eradicated as soon as possible.

Chen Yang briefly told Liu Henghu about the conversation he had just had with Wutongshu.

After listening to this, Liu Henghu looked gloomy, but he didn't say much. He reached out and patted Chen Yang on the shoulder, "Let's go and eat. After the meal, we can talk slowly!"

The two walked away side by side.

"Hey, kid, don't go, give me the stuff first!"

The leaves of the paulownia tree began to tremble.

"What does it say?"

Liu Henghu looked back and saw that the leaves suddenly stopped moving again.

"Saying goodbye to us!"

"Oh, that's quite polite!"

……

-

In the cafeteria, Qinzhou was already there and had finished half of his bowl of rice.

"Brother Tiger!"

Chen Yang started talking, "If this matter is caused by the relic in the Buddhist temple, it shouldn't be difficult to solve this matter, right? Can't we send this relic to Baoguo Temple for worship?"

"What relics?" Qinzhou raised his head, his eyes full of confusion.

It's like I missed a lot of plots by sleeping.

The two did not give him any explanation.

Everything started with the relics, and can end with the relics.

Sending away the relics is the simplest, most direct and most effective method.

Everything is gone, why are these monsters still here?

Liu Henghu didn't say anything, he just ate by himself.

"Brother Tiger?"

Chen Yang shouted again, thinking that he was a little distracted.

Liu Henghu then said, "Xiaoyang, do you believe whatever it says?"

"What?" Chen Yang was stunned.

Liu Henghu said, "Deception is not exclusive to humans. Spiritual plants, spiritual beasts, and all intelligent things can deceive people. Sometimes, many things cannot be judged by their appearance..."

His words made Chen Yang's heart skip a beat.

What do you mean?
Is he saying that the paulownia tree is deceiving itself?
At this time, Liu Henghu said, "Have you ever thought that perhaps the root of these strange things is this phoenix tree?"

Seeing that he was serious, Chen Yang's heart tightened. "This phoenix tree has been growing in Jianfeng Temple for hundreds of years. It has been with Master Jinming day and night. If there was anything wrong with it, Master Jinming would have gotten rid of it long ago. Why would it be left until now?"

It’s not that he didn’t trust Liu Henghu. He trusted Liu Henghu’s character.

The reason why Chen Yang had no doubts about the sycamore tree was, firstly, because of the banyan tree. This sycamore tree was a close friend of the banyan tree, so it was thought that the quality of the tree should be good.

Secondly, as I just said, with the presence of Monk Jinming, there should be no possibility for this sycamore tree to grow crooked.

"After dinner, I'll show you something!"

Liu Henghu didn't explain and just started eating.

……

After dinner, in the Zen room.

Liu Henghu took out a plastic box as big as a lunch box from under the pillow, put it on the table and opened it.

Chen Yang moved closer.

There is a fruit in the box.

It is slightly smaller than a ping-pong ball, round, green, and rough. At first glance, it looks a bit like a lychee and a bit like a chestnut.

Paulownia fruit.

Chen Yang had just seen a lot of this kind of fruit on the paulownia tree.

Chen Yang was a little confused. Is there something wrong with this fruit?

Liu Henghu took out the sycamore fruit, the shell of which had been opened, and took out a kernel from it.

Black hard shell.

This nut kernel has been split into two.

Liu Henghu opened it directly and placed it in front of Chen Yang for display.

The kernel of the fruit is not white as imagined, but red.

The middle of the red kernel has already rotted, like a pool of foul blood with an indescribable fishy smell.

Chen Yang frowned slightly. He could see that inside the rotten flesh, there was a maggot-like worm lying quietly, already dead.

It's all white and you can't tell the beginning from the end. It looks a bit disgusting.

"Is this the fruit of the sycamore tree in the backyard?" Chen Yang was a little unbelievable.

Liu Henghu nodded, "Monk Longdeng said that it was left by Master Jinming..."

Chen Yang raised his eyebrows. "This is what Monk Longdeng said he wanted to show you this morning?"
