plant master

() When I came to Jinyun Temple, I was overwhelmed by the solemn and solemn atmosphere of the Buddhist temple, and the ambiguous atmosphere between Ye Feng and Shen Ruolan disappeared.

Jinyun Temple was first built in the Tang Dynasty. It is said that it was built by an eminent monk. Its real name is Tianhu Temple, because the temple is built next to the lake on the top of the mountain, and Dinghu Mountain is also called Tianhu Mountain because there is a lake on the top of the mountain.Later, it is said that when the eminent monk was sitting, the monks in the temple saw a golden cloud descending on the top of the mountain, which was extremely holy, so they changed its name to Jinyun Temple from then on.This is the allusion of the origin of Jinyun Temple.

In modern times, when analyzing this historical allusion, brick experts usually believe that the golden cloud seen by monks is a rare phenomenon of optical refraction... Regarding the unsolved mystery, brick experts can always find various theories.

Yes, it is true that Jinyun Temple has produced several eminent monks in the past dynasties, as evidenced by historical books and folklore.The pagoda in the backyard of the temple is said to contain the relics of the eminent monks of the past dynasties.son.Jinyun Temple is also a famous Buddhist holy place in Guangdong Province. Every year, a large number of believers from all over the country come to burn incense and worship Buddha.

One side of Jinyun Temple is a cliff, and it has one of the best viewing platforms in Dinghu Mountain. From this viewing platform, you can watch the sun rise and fall, and experience the feeling of seeing all the small mountains.

There are also several famous ancient cypresses in Jinyun Temple, which are said to be millennium ancient cypresses. According to expert appraisal, the oldest tree is more than 600 years old.It can be said to be a living fossil of the plant kingdom.

To be honest, Ye Feng lacked interest in temples. He was originally a firm atheist who was born in science and did not believe in gods and Buddhas.On the contrary, Shen Ruolan quite believed in this, and insisted on pulling Ye Feng to worship before the Buddha, saying that they were praying for the well-being of the family together.

After worshiping the Buddha, the two came to the viewing platform, overlooking the green Dinghu Mountain and the underground farmland roads, and the figures moved by ants.

"Ye Feng, is this your first date with a girl?" Standing by the fence, with black waterfall-like hair fluttering in the wind, Shen Ruolan asked with a smile as she turned her mouth up slightly, looking back as clear as water.

"Uh, yes. Hey? Wait a minute, we're not dating, I'm just going out with you to relax." Ye Feng nodded subconsciously, and then hurriedly clarified when he felt something was wrong.

Shen Ruolan smiled brightly, looked at Ye Feng with smiling eyes, and did not speak.

Ye Feng was stunned, then fell silent.

He understood Shen Ruolan's meaning - they were already "dating".

······

The next attraction is the thousand-year-old cypress that Ye Feng is most interested in.

There are a total of three ancient cypresses, each with a height of more than 30 meters and a trunk diameter of more than two meters.The oldest tree is said to be 600 years old.However, Ye Feng once read a professional literature on botany, which said that cypress trees can only live up to 3000 years.Ye Feng was very interested in whether the cypress tree in Jinyun Temple was [-] years old.

Secondly, Ye Feng is also very curious about the physiological structure of such an ancient big tree. What kind of power supports the ancient tree to be evergreen and immortal?

Shen Ruolan focused on looking at the annotations on the inscription under the ancient tree, which recorded the origin and allusions about this ancient tree.Ye Feng looked at Gu Bai, released his mental power, and silently activated the "plant scanning" ability on him.

"Scanning... Scanning is complete!"

"Botanical name: Juniper

Age: 3642 years

Height: 39.27m

DBH: 2.76m

······

Found 'Life Essence', do you want to collect it? "

Ok?

The essence of life?

In the end, the plant controller system suddenly popped up a prompt, which made Ye Feng stunned.

"Life Essence: A trace substance naturally produced in the body of some plants after a long period of growth. This substance can strongly promote the animal body, strengthen the vitality of the animal and accelerate the evolution of the animal. This magical substance It is called 'Life Essence'." The system explained.

Strengthen vitality?evolution?

Ye Feng's eyes widened.

"It looks very powerful, why don't you give it a try...Wait a minute, after I collect this 'Life Essence', will this ancient tree die?" Ye Feng was about to start , After thinking about it, I have concerns.

Firstly, after becoming the master of plants, in Ye Feng's view, plants are also life, and he is unwilling to kill easily, especially such a precious ancient tree.Second, if there is any abnormal phenomenon in the collection process later, what should I do if tourists come and go here and are seen?

After thinking about it, Ye Feng suppressed the impulse and didn't do anything.

"By the way, there are two ancient trees next to them. Could there also be 'Life Essence'?"

Thinking of this, Ye Feng also scanned the plants of the remaining two ancient trees.

"Scanning... The scan is complete! Plant name: Juniper, age: 2668...'Life essence' was discovered, do you want to collect it?"

"Scanning...Scanning completed! Plant name: Juniper, age: 1809..."

There are two ancient cypresses left, one contains the essence of life, and the other does not.

It seems that not every ancient tree will produce this mysterious "life essence".

Ye Feng was very curious about this life essence discovered by accident. At this moment, his heart was itching, and he wished to collect it immediately to see what happened, but he was full of worries and couldn't do it.

"It's really troublesome, can't we just wait for the next time it gets dark to do it secretly?"

Ye Feng couldn't think of a way, so he had no choice but to think: "Oh, there is no way, then I have to send Sister Ruolan back and return tonight. By the way, Master is still waiting for me to go back to make 'Jiuyang Suzaku Soup', and collect I have to let go of the Zhou family's criminal evidence... Hey, there it is!"

Thinking of the Zhou family, Ye Feng suddenly thought of a good idea.

"Sister Ruolan, I'm going to the toilet, you wait for me here. Soon!" Ye Feng finished speaking to Shen Ruolan, and rushed to the bathroom near the temple before she could react.

That appearance is really "urgent".Shen Ruolan was speechless looking at Ye Feng's impatient figure.

it is good.

Sister Ruolan had no choice but to watch the ancient trees and wait slowly.

After more than a minute, suddenly a dark yellow figure appeared in Shen Ruolan's line of sight, rushing towards the position of the ancient tree.

Several tourists who were watching by the ancient tree, including Shen Ruolan, all stared at the man in a daze.

Without him, that person's dress is too different.

The visitor was wearing a dark yellow armor similar to that of a European medieval knight, a fully enclosed helmet, and an airtight armor covering the whole body. before.

Shen Ruolan and other tourists looked at this strange man in armor curiously, to see what he was going to do.

I saw the armored monster standing still in front of the 600-year-old tree, and was stunned.

"Collection in progress... collection failed! The host's mental strength is insufficient, please contact the target directly to collect."

The person who came was Ye Feng. He hid in the WC, conjured up a thin vest, covered his true face, and blatantly ran back to collect the life essence of the ancient tree.

But he didn't want to have to touch the trees to collect them, which made him stand stupidly for a while.Ye Feng had no choice but to take a few steps forward depressingly, and put his palm on the big tree.

"Collect!" Ye Feng gave the command again.

Immediately afterwards, Ye Feng felt the plants in his body gushing out uncontrollably, one-fifth of which was consumed in a blink of an eye, and hurriedly released his mental power to check the changes of the ancient tree.

I saw that as the plants flowed in, the sap in Gu Bai's body accelerated, and in the black and white vision of mental power, a little bit of emerald green light spots like stardust separated out of the ancient tree, and quickly converged on the part where his palm touched , and finally condensed into a green liquid droplet.

This liquid drop the size of a longan is actually the essence of life that this ancient cypress has bred for 600 years.And according to the system's explanation, most of this drop of liquid is water, and the part that is really the essence of life is only a few micrograms.As expected of the essence, it really is not enough!

Moreover, to ensure the effectiveness of the life essence, this drop of liquid must be stored by special means.

With a thought in Ye Feng's mind, a layer of dense plant tissue grew out of the emerald green droplet, covering the droplet layer by layer, like a walnut with a thick shell.Withdrawing his right hand, there was already a dark, apple-sized wooden ball in his palm.

In the eyes of others, the strange man in armor stretched out his hand to press on the ancient book for a while, and then suddenly buckled a lump of wood on it, but they were puzzled, not stunned.

After collecting the essence of life, Gu Bai did not undergo such a drastic change as Ye Feng imagined—even there was no movement at all, causing him to worry in vain.

After looking at the system description, one realizes that the essence of life is not an important substance for the plant itself, to be precise, it is more like a superfluous metabolite.Just like the penicillin produced by Penicillium, the loss of oxygen produced by photosynthesis has little effect on ancient trees.

Due to the absorption of Ye Feng's plant energy during the collection process, the upgrade of the ancient tree became more vigorous, a blessing in disguise.This ancient cypress can continue to produce the essence of life, but it will take several thousand years to condense the drop that Ye Feng just picked.

On the second ancient cypress, Ye Feng collected another drop of life essence.After putting away the two "wooden balls", Ye Feng waved at Shen Ruolan and other onlookers in a vicious manner, and ran away without a trace.

······

After 2 minutes, Ye Feng put his hands in his trouser pockets, whistled, and returned to the old tree excitedly.

"Sister Ruolan, I kept you waiting. My stomach was a little uncomfortable just now, but it's fine now."

"Oh."

"By the way, Ye Feng, did you just see a strange man in armor walking past you?"

"Weird in armor, didn't see it."

"Forget it. I just think that guy feels very familiar to me, and I feel a little familiar."

"Uh······"

Ye Feng was dumbfounded, thinking that a woman's intuition is really scary.

The two continued their tour of Dinghu Mountain, came to the lake for boating, and waited until the sky was filled with purple clouds and the sunset shrouded the sky. Today's pleasant trip ended.

During this period, Shen Ruolan never noticed that the pockets of Ye Feng's trousers were bulging, and there were two more round things.

(ps: Let’s guess, what is the real effect of Life Essence? The first one who guesses correctly will get a prize~)
