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

Chapter 355: Sudden enlightenment, mental power surges!

"You didn't look for Zhang Yafeng?"

Chen Yang looked at him in confusion. It was absolutely impossible to buy these bamboo shoots at 20 yuan each. If Huang Can gave the pallet to Zhang Yafeng, Zhang Yafeng would definitely not give him such a low price.

Huang Can said, "I heard that he had a car accident and just got out of the hospital. I thought about it. If I go to see him, I have to buy some nutritional supplements. According to the rules here, I have to give him a red envelope. I'm afraid it will cost a thousand yuan to do so. My bamboo shoots are only worth a few dollars. In the end, won't it be a waste of time..."

Chen Yang's face was full of black lines. You are really a talented person.

"You are so good at calculations, why don't you become an accountant?"

Chen Yang rolled his eyes at him. "You are greedy for small gains and suffer big losses. Zhang Yafeng is still a reliable person. If you need mountain products in the future, go to him directly. He knows the market better than us and will not blindly lower the price for you..."

"You mean, I'm selling my winter bamboo shoots too cheaply?" Huang Can raised his eyebrows. "Not really. In town, good winter bamboo shoots are usually only around ten yuan each. I can sell them for 20 yuan, which is already a high price..."

Chen Yang rolled his eyes at him and said, "How many people in this town know what's good?"

Huang Can thought about it and it seemed to be true.

His winter bamboo shoots are big and fresh enough, so he might have sold them at a low price.

However, he was a kind-hearted man and did not feel much remorse.

Huang Can pointed at the slope in front of him while holding a hoe. "There are many big winter bamboo shoots in this forest. Let's get some more today..."

Chen Yang didn't say anything more and started digging.

"Ding, collect B-level wild delicacy [Winter Bamboo Shoot]*1, gain experience points +100."

"Ding, collect B-level wild delicacy [Winter Bamboo Shoot]*1, gain experience points +100."

……

Sure enough, the winter bamboo shoots on this slope are of much higher quality, almost all of them are grade B.

There are rarely C or D grades.

strange!
Chen Yang felt a little strange. They were both winter bamboo shoots, growing on the same hill, so why were there such big differences?

Could it be that these winter bamboo shoots all come from the same mother bamboo?
An idea suddenly came to Chen Yang's mind. He turned around and looked around. The area was not small, covering at least several acres.

If these winter bamboo shoots all come from the same mother bamboo, then this mother bamboo must be extraordinary.

Winter bamboo shoots are bamboo shoots that grow from the underground stems of nan bamboo. The underground stems are commonly known as bamboo whips or bamboo roots. The winter bamboo shoots grown from the roots of the same nan bamboo are naturally of the same quality.

Level B, no matter it is an animal or a plant, to reach Level B is already the limit of life. Going further means breaking through the limit, giving birth to wisdom, becoming a climate, and entering Level A.

Chen Yang was confused and immediately started looking for the mother of these winter bamboo shoots.

Winter bamboo shoots grow from bamboo roots. It is easy to find their mother plant, just follow the bamboo roots.

This may be a little difficult for others, but it is much simpler for Chen Yang.

He turned on the radar detection directly and presented the situation under the ground in his mind. Chen Yang followed the direction of the bamboo roots' growth and went up the hillside.

This is not a big deal. The more Chen Yang thinks about it, the more surprised he feels.

There are so many bamboo roots and root systems underground in this bamboo forest that it is simply shocking.

Just like blood vessels, densely packed together.

Moreover, most of them belong to the same root system.

Although there are many nan bamboos in this bamboo forest, according to Chen Yang's radar detection, most of the nan bamboos grow on the same root system.

In other words, from the outside, it looks like a large bamboo forest, but in fact, they are actually the same bamboo forest.

The roots released by the mother plant spread throughout the bamboo forest, and the shoots grown from these roots broke through the soil and grew into bamboos. The bamboos grew new roots, and the new roots grew new shoots again...

This process repeats and continues to expand.

The root system of this mother plant probably covers half of the hill.

If Chen Yang didn't have a radar system, how could he see all this just by looking at the surface?
"Chen Yang, where are you going?"

Huang Can looked up and saw Chen Yang walking up the hillside with a hoe in his hand, and shouted in confusion.

"Look around."

Without even turning his head, Chen Yang threw a few words to him and continued to walk into the depths of the bamboo forest following the growth direction of the bamboo roots.

In the forest, bamboo leaves fell everywhere, and when the wind blew, the bamboo leaves danced everywhere.

Chen Yang was still cautious. After all, for such a large bamboo tree, even its shoots were of B grade, so its mother plant must be at least B grade.

After walking about sixty or seventy meters, Chen Yang stopped.

Dozens of bamboo whips gathered together in a valley.

There is a nanmu bamboo growing in the valley.

It is hidden among the bamboo bushes and is not conspicuous.

Chen Yang pushed aside the bamboo branches that were blocking the way and finally saw its true appearance.

The trunk of this nanmu bamboo has been broken, and only the bamboo body less than one meter high remains on the ground.

The bamboo stake was surprisingly large, with a diameter probably as thick as Chen Yang's waist. The remaining bamboo trunk was pitch black and burnt.

There are many radial cracks on the surface of the bamboo pile.

It looks like it was struck by lightning.

Chen Yang observed carefully and found that the wound on the bamboo stake was probably there for who knows how many years.

Was he really struck by lightning?

Chen Yang pulled out the system and took a look.

The result he got surprised him a little.

This is indeed a nanmu bamboo that has been struck by lightning.

Moreover, this nanmu bamboo is a spiritual plant that failed to pass the tribulation when breaking through the realm of creation.

According to the information provided by the system, this nanmu bamboo attracted heavenly thunder when it broke through the realm of creation more than eighty years ago, and was unable to withstand it.

The spiritual intelligence that was finally born was shattered by the thunder, and the body was also destroyed by the thunder, leaving only a bamboo stump. Relying on instinct to recover, after dozens of years, new buds finally grew on her dead bamboo roots.

So, year after year, its bamboo roots keep growing, and bamboo shoots emerge. After the bamboo shoots break through the soil, they grow into new bamboos the next year.

So, its body continued to expand on the mountain.

Because there is no consciousness in its body, let alone wisdom, all of this is just the instinct for life to reproduce.

Is this also possible?

Chen Yang stood there, unable to utter a word for a long time.

It is like a brain-dead vegetative person. Although the consciousness is gone, the body's instincts are still there.

Technically, it is dead, but practically speaking, it is still alive.

Chen Yang didn't believe it, so he chatted with the bamboo stump for a few words, but as expected, it didn't give him any response at all.

He didn't feel anything different about this bamboo stake, and there was not even a single fluctuation of his mental power.

In other words, the wisdom of this bamboo was truly wiped out by the heavenly thunder.

This vitality is too tenacious.

Although they are already dead, they are still living on instinct, trying hard to continue their lives.

Perhaps, it is waiting, waiting for one of its offshoots, one of its bamboo shoots, to develop intelligence one day in the future, take control of its body again, usher in a new life, and continue to live in its place.

In the sky, the dark clouds dispersed, the sun showed a smiling face, and the sunlight sprinkled on the bamboo forest, swaying with golden light.

At this moment, facing this tenacious nanmu bamboo, Chen Yang couldn't help but sigh that life is truly great.

Chen Yang felt as if something touched somewhere in his heart.

It was a very mysterious feeling, as if the soul was cleansed, and something seemed to explode deep in the mind.

The whole person enters a state of neither self nor others.

But soon, he came out of that mysterious feeling, as if he was thrown high into the air and then fell back into reality, with his feet on the ground.

……

Name: Chen Yang.

Physical fitness: 3039/5000.

Mental power: 1890/2000.

……

Chen Yang subconsciously pulled out the system panel and took a look.

This sight shocked him.

Mental strength.

His mental capacity actually increased by 500 points.

Before this, his mental power capacity was 1500 points, but in just a short while, it increased to 2000 points.

what's the situation?
Chen Yang stood there for a long time.

Could it be because of the mysterious state just now?
Is that the legendary epiphany?
Chen Yang was a little ecstatic and immediately wanted to get back to his previous state.

However, he soon found that it was impossible.

Once you miss this opportunity, that feeling is gone and can never be found again.

But, isn’t this too magical?

Just a moment of realization, a split second of touch, could have such a huge impact on mental strength?

"Oh my god, why is this bamboo so big?"

At this time, Huang Can's voice brought Chen Yang back to reality.

Seeing that Chen Yang had not returned for a long time, he followed him over. He was also a little surprised to see Chen Yang staring at a huge bamboo stake in a daze.

This bamboo stump is indeed too big, much bigger than ordinary nan bamboo.

It’s a pity that it was obviously struck by lightning and was almost completely destroyed... wait, struck by lightning?
Huang Can's face changed slightly, and he subconsciously took a few steps back, holding the hoe high up, "Chen Yang, this thing, could it be a spirit?"

He had a fearful look on his face. With such a big root and having been struck by lightning, it was hard not to think in that direction.

He has experienced a lot now, so he is a bit afraid of ropes after being bitten by a snake once.

"It's already been chopped like this, what kind of spirit is it?"

"Is it?"

Huang Can put down his hoe in dismay. "I wonder if you have discovered something while standing here?"

"Continue digging winter bamboo shoots. Don't dig them all. You have to leave some for the forest." Chen Yang reminded.

"Don't worry, I know more about this than you."

Huang Can patted his chest loudly. Digging up some winter bamboo shoots would be good for the growth of bamboo.

Of course, the premise is appropriate.

This is the same principle as thinning out fruit trees. If a fruit tree has too many flowers and too many fruits, it is necessary to pick some of them and throw them away manually. This way, the soil fertility can keep up and the remaining fruits can absorb nutrients better and grow better.

But if you pick too much, there will be no new bamboo shoots to grow next year, and there will be no new bamboos, and there will be nothing to do with the rest.

Chen Yang was still savoring the feeling of sudden enlightenment, and was a little absent-minded while working.

If I could have this kind of experience more often, wouldn't my mental strength skyrocket?
The imagination is beautiful, but Chen Yang also knows that this kind of situation is something that can only be encountered by chance.

……

"Ding, a total of 403 B-level wild delicacies [Winter Bamboo Shoots] were collected this time, and 4 bottles of [Cold Dew] were rewarded, and the experience value +40300 points."

……

Name: Chen Yang.

Experience value: 205689/400000.

……

The two men spent the whole morning digging winter bamboo shoots and had a good harvest.

It was past two o'clock in the afternoon and we were so hungry that we walked down the mountain. The two large backpacks were full, and the four feed bags were also full.

It took two trips to carry all the day's harvest down the mountain.

Before going down the mountain for the second time, Chen Yang came to the bamboo stump of the old nanmu bamboo, took out a bottle of plant growth essence and poured it into the stump.

After all, it's sustainable development.

Moreover, if the bamboo stake had not touched him, he would not have had his sudden epiphany. After all, whether it has consciousness or not, he still has to thank it.

A bottle of plant growth essence may not be of much help to it, but at least it can make it grow better, which can be regarded as Chen Yang's thoughtfulness.

People still need to know how to be grateful.

After getting down the mountain, Chen Yang only kept a few bamboo shoots and gave some to Song Daneng next door. He didn't want the rest and gave them all to Huang Can.

For him, this little bit of money was not something he looked down upon, but he simply did not need it.

All he wanted was to give Huang Can more motivation so that he could earn more experience points.

For Huang Can, the source of motivation is, of course, material things.

"Put everything in my car. Come with me. I'll deliver the stuff to Zhang Yafeng first, and then you can go somewhere with me."

"where to?"

"We'll know in a moment."

"Brother Yang, I'm still hungry, how about getting something to eat?"

"Why don't we go to town and eat at Zhang Yafeng's restaurant?"

"Well, that's true."

Huang Can's eyes lit up and he hurriedly moved all the bamboo shoots to Chen Yang's car.

Neither of them drank a sip of water and ran straight to the town.

……

Pingqiang Town.

The two went directly to Yafeng Restaurant and called Zhang Yafeng in advance. Zhang Yafeng was not in town, so he arranged for a manager to receive them.

After the winter bamboo shoots were delivered, Chen Yang didn't care about it anymore. He asked Huang Can to stay for negotiation, then left the restaurant alone and came to the Qingyi River.

After a while, a Volkswagen SUV stopped in front of him and Hu Kai got out of the car with two file bags in his hands.

"Have you been waiting for a long time?" Hu Kai looked apologetic.

"I just arrived too."

Chen Yang smiled and handed over a bottle of water.

The river breeze was blowing, and the town was not as cold as in the mountains.

Hu Kai handed the file bag to Chen Yang. "I have already completed the formalities from the forestry department that you requested. You can move the camellia tree. However, please be aware of the impact when moving it..."

Chen Yang nodded slightly.

For some matters, having procedures is one thing. Even though it is legal and legitimate, it cannot be guaranteed that some people will make indiscriminate reports.

Especially in this era of self-media, if someone takes a video and posts it online, you will inevitably be cyber-bullied.

Chen Yang is a man who knows the importance of things, so there is no need for Hu Kai to remind him repeatedly.

He pointed to another file bag in Chen Yang's hand and said, "This is the DNA test report of Mr. Huang and Gu Lingshan. We found four authoritative institutions to test it. The results are all here. You... take a look for yourself..."

He looked like he was hesitant to speak.

This made Chen Yang's originally expectant expression freeze on his face.

What do you mean?
Is the result bad?
Chen Yang opened the file bag, which contained several A4 papers.

"Following Mendel's laws of inheritance, combined application can be used for paternity testing..."

There were a lot of professional terms on it, which Chen Yang couldn't understand, and he didn't need to read them. His eyes fell directly on the bottom.

……

"After identification by our center, it is confirmed that the person being tested, Huang Daolin, and Gu Lingshan, are not related by blood!"

[Confirmed no blood relationship]

A bright red seal is very eye-catching.

"This……"

Chen Yang was stunned for two seconds. This was completely different from what he expected.

He quickly looked at the second copy.

[Confirmed no blood relationship]

The third one.

[Confirmed no blood relationship]

……

After reading all four reports, they all had the same results.

"After identification by our center, it is confirmed that the person being tested, Huang Daolin, and Gu Lingshan, are not related by blood!"

"no……"

Chen Yang was stunned for a long time before he looked up at Hu Kai, "Brother Kai, you are not mistaken, are you?"

Although he knew very well that there was no way he could be wrong, he still asked the question.

Hu Kai smiled bitterly, "Unless the sample you gave me is wrong."

"That's impossible."

Chen Yang shook his head firmly.

Chen Yang pulled Huang Daolin's hair while he was watching him, while Chen Yang pulled Gu Lingshan's hair from her head with his own hands.

There is no way it can be wrong.

"Isn't it over then?"

Hu Kai spread his hands helplessly. "If it was just one institution, there might be some mistakes, but four different institutions all gave the same result. We can only accept the reality."

Chen Yang was silent for a moment.

"Ok."

He shook his head. "It's true that the greater the hope, the greater the disappointment. They look so similar, and their ages match, so how could they not be?"

"There are so many people in this world who look alike. Could it be that they are all related?"

Hu Kai also expressed his helplessness, "You should give Mr. Huang some advice. This is how things are. Reality will not change because of human will. There is a long time to come. We just need to spend some time looking for them. As long as the mother and daughter are still alive, we will find them eventually..."

"Ah."

Chen Yang nodded and said, "Thank you, Brother Kai. I saved your time."

"It's my job to not work in vain and to receive the salary from the association."

The two exchanged a few pleasantries, and Chen Yang asked, "What's the current situation of the Ding family? I heard that they arrested the people of the Chen family in Hong Kong Island..."

Hu Kai said, "You'd better not get involved in this matter. Just wait and see. The Chen family in Hong Kong has a strong background. They should make some moves in the next two days. Before the result is clear, don't rush to get involved..."

Chen Yang paused, and just nodded, "I called Brother Hu last night, but the call didn't go through. Now he hasn't returned my call. I don't know what he's doing?"

"Maybe you won't be able to contact him these days."

"Oh? What do you say?"

"The news from the Ma Gang is that the night before yesterday, Liu Guotou had a fight with someone and his Sanjiao Gate was shaken. It happened so suddenly that he didn't have time to inform the two presidents before he was captured by the two elders of the Ma Gang and forced to retreat to break through the spiritual realm."
