The sword is the devil

Chapter 375 Waiting for Change
Mrs. Bamboo sighed softly, "After 50 years of hard work, from a deserted island with nothing, to now there are all over the mountains and plains... Fellow Daoists don't know that this species of annatto bamboo can't be grown casually, it needs careful cultivation. There is special cropping irrigation for each solar term.

It's like your own child. Does it mean that you can give up if you give up? "

Hou Niao was silent. Carmine bamboo is not a simple plant, but a spiritual plant that needs to be carefully cultivated. Without human care, although the green bamboos all over the island will not die, they will slowly grow and transform into ordinary forest bamboos. .

There is also a flowering period. Ordinary bamboos bloom every 60 years, completing a cycle, but annatto bamboos bloom every six years... He likes nature and forest bamboos. The only regret is that if these annatto bamboos grow in the wild It's even better, even if the rare and spiritual items in it are even rarer.

"After 200 years of cultivating the Tao, how can I not see through it? From the beginning of the rouge bamboo forest on the island, I knew that this is not only an achievement, but also a source of disaster. The more lush the bamboo forest, the greater the reputation outside. We must take care of the bamboo forest on this island. more difficult.

So, to talk about the intention to get rid of it, it was there when the bamboo forest was first formed; I am close to nature in this life, so why don’t I know the difference between artificial cultivation and natural cultivation?

But it’s easier said than done, and I’ve spent my entire life trying to get rid of all of this, but I still haven’t done it. "

Hou Tiao nodded silently. He probably understands this feeling. It is easy for others to make suggestions because there is no psychological burden. However, whoever raises knows...

"I can stick to my beliefs without thinking about my own safety. After all, when there is a real danger, I also have a chance to escape.

But I can't ignore the safety of the other disciples in Zhudao. They don't have enough ability to protect themselves in Lihai. "

Stretching out his hand to caress a delicate and charming carmine bamboo, he rubbed the slender bamboo continuously,
"It's true to evacuate, but it's the bamboo island cultivators who are withdrawing. I won't go to a second bamboo island and let history repeat itself. Therefore, it is probably to find a manor on land. I have already arranged for many years."

Originally, I wanted to guard this Bamboo Island alone, and then resign myself to fate, whichever step I take counts as a step, which is also a kind of helpless way to have both.

But now, I find that even if I stay here, I can't change anything, it's just a ridiculous insistence.

The bamboo forest that accompanies me all my life is of course very important, but what is more important is the people I need to accompany.

So, you really don't have to stay with us here, wasting time. "

Hou Tiao smiled, "I understand what Ma'am means, but please also understand the mental journey of us people; since it is a coincidence, we must not stay out of it. People can leave, but regrets can't be relieved. This is what we must do." through the road.

In the present state, how can one have a mellow state of mind and a clear idea?We are all in the process of groping, and we don’t want to leave a psychological shadow on ourselves because of a timidity. Relatively speaking, escorting you away is not only to protect you, but also to protect ourselves. "

Mrs. Bamboo nodded and said with a smile: "But I didn't expect that there were people like You and Tan Xiao in the tour group. You can come and go freely..."

Hou Tiao wryly smiled, "Then it can only be said to be God's will, right? I don't know Tan Xiao's purpose, but I'm just a passerby I met by chance. I joined the tour group just because of a coincidence and the itinerary matched, so I came here.

Well, take a break by the way. "

Sword repairers are all restless masters, who play tricks on cats and dogs. Mrs. Bamboo can hear the vague meaning in his words, and she is not surprised.

"Really?"

"It is so!"

Watching Mrs. Bamboo leave, Hou Tiao shook her head, also very confused about this trip to Bamboo Island.I vaguely feel that there are many unreasonable and awkward places in this.

How did such a force as Takeshima survive these hundred years?With their indecision, they should have been occupied by others long ago.

With such strength as Cang Pirates, how did they turn a simple robbery into such a procrastinating action?
The code of conduct for pirates is to act resolutely and never procrastinate. If someone guesses the next move, they will not be far away from doom; that is, the Lihai Jiedu Mansion is not well controlled and the organization is disordered. Come on, they have been wiped out a long time ago, so why leave this cancer in the present?

He knew that the reason why he couldn't see clearly was that he had missed some important things. He had a natural intuition in this regard since he started his career in criminal law, but what exactly was it?

Going forward, you can already see the busy Zhudao monks, as well as some mortals, making final preparations for leaving the island.

Among them is a beautiful woman, graceful and graceful, with a natural demeanor.

He walked over, "Xiaodao waits for Tiao, does the fairy need help?"

The woman was a little surprised, she obviously knew him, a monk who could kill the leader of the Cang pirates still put some pressure on her.

"Don't dare to bother Senior Brother... Well, if you must help, then help me cut the skin and seeds of this bamboo forest."

Hou Tiao nodded, "Oh, these bamboos have been growing for six years?"

Following this beautiful woman, Hou Niao got started very quickly. Each bamboo needs to be cut a circular incision from the root one foot up, and inject some kind of specially formulated pulp into it, which can help the bamboo to spend six years blooming. dead time.

It takes 18 years for three flowering seasons in this way to finally grow into the spiritual bamboo.

This kind of operation is not complicated. The main difficulty lies in the depth of the circular cut. If the cut is deep, it will destroy the root of the bamboo, and if the cut is shallow, the effect will not be achieved. But for a sword master like him, it is the simplest basic skill. .

Quick hands, but proficient ears, chatting with the beauty by the way.

"Fairy's name?"

"Xiangfei Bamboo."

"Fairy's yin and yang technique is really exquisite. I thought that since Zhudao is devoted to the way of plants, it must be practicing wood skills."

"The avenues are interlinked. There are yin and yang in nature, and yin and yang also contain the way of nature. In fact, it is the same thing. Moreover, the way of yin and yang of my monk Zhudao is different from the yin and yang of Taoism..."

Hou Tiao was a little surprised, because he was just asking casually, and didn't expect the other party to answer in detail, because it was related to the core secrets of every orthodoxy, and it was something that must be cherished, but this woman didn't seem to care, even on purpose...

This one is the youngest among the Zhudao Tongxuan monks. Everyone calls her Little Fairy, and she has a special connection with Zhulin.

"Cultivation is hard, and the isolated island is boring. If it were me, I'm afraid I won't be able to persist here for hundreds of years without moving."

"With the sea, green hills and green bamboos, what's the boring thing? As long as you calm down, you will naturally forget about the gossip and wrongs in the world of mortals. After a long time, you will naturally be able to sit still.

In Zhudao, it is not uncommon for us sisters to retreat for several months or half a year in practice. The master is even more powerful, and we cannot even see each other for several years once in retreat. "
