These exotic flowers and trees all have one thing in common, that is, their surfaces glow, as if they are using them as a source of light.
Just a little light is enough for them to grow.
Looking at the dotted lights, Jin An first thought of fireflies.
The reason was that he approached a small sapling at hand and found that the light source came from the plant itself, and he did not see any luminous bugs.
I even checked a few plants, and it was all the plants themselves that were glowing. There were strange flowers, grasses, and exotic trees inside.
Jin An couldn't help but frown slightly when he discovered this detail.
Zhang Zhuzhu wondered: "It's strange, why are the flowers, plants and trees here all glowing? It's impossible for so many flowers, plants and trees to come from the same kind of luminous plant, right?"
This is exactly what Jin An feels is wrong.
If it was a single species of tree that was glowing, or a single species of exotic flower that was glowing, he would think it was normal. However, these glowing plants included multiple species of exotic flowers and trees.
At this time, the two of them came across a fruit tree, which was surrounded by people and had many green fruits dotted among the lush branches and leaves. Those green fruits were crystal clear, watery and clear, and looked a bit like green grapes.
Looking at the Shuiling Fruit, Zhang Zhuzi's throat slid subconsciously. After walking so much, he felt a little hungry in his stomach.
"Deep underground here, the yin qi and corpse qi gather and never disperse. It is the best environment for the production of those poisonous flowers and poisonous fruits that like yin. I do not recommend eating indiscriminately in this place." Jin An reminded him and continued to delve deeper into this magical place.
garden.
Zhang Zhuzhu opened his mouth to speak, but in the end resisted the temptation and continued to move forward after listening to Jin An's words.
They didn't go far when they encountered another even more absurd exotic tree, which turned out to be a ginseng fruit tree.
When he encountered the ginseng fruit tree and saw the fruits hanging on the tree with their trunks complete and arms and legs wrapped around their chests, resembling babies, Zhang Zhuzi was startled at first, and then he was stunned with shock.
"This looks too similar, right? Is it a real child, or is it the ginseng fruit planted by Zhenyuan Daxian that the storyteller often mentioned?"
"Could it be the human elixir spirit infant?" Zhang Zhuzhu looked nervously at Jin An.
A rough count showed that there were at least one hundred and eighty ginseng fruits hanging on the branches. No one knew how many times this ginseng fruit tree had produced fruit before they came.
If every time there is a result, one hundred and eighty human elixirs will come out. Thinking of that number makes people shudder.
The conjecture about the human elixir spiritual infant was immediately refuted by Jin An: "These ginseng fruits do not have the sweet fragrance of elixir. They are two different things."
This ginseng fruit tree is no exception, the tree body is also shining brightly.
When normal people see these ginseng fruits that look like children, they will show expressions of awe and avoidance, which are normal reactions.
For example, Jin An once snatched a ginseng fruit from King Xiao Ling in the Cave Heaven Paradise in Wuzhou Prefecture. He did not eat it out of reverence and finally gave it to Uncle Lin for healing. The ginseng fruit not only helped Uncle Lin heal all his old wounds.
And it also restored Uncle Lin's cultivation to the third realm again.
So seeing Zhang Zhuzhu clasping his hands and mumbling towards the ginseng fruit tree, not daring to approach the ginseng fruit tree, Jin An was able to understand the change in his mood. He was the only one who approached the ginseng fruit tree for a close observation.
He found that although these ginseng fruits had grown trunks, hands and feet, and looked similar, none of these children had facial features, and the palms and fingers were blurred and unseparated. It seemed that these ginseng fruits still had a long time to mature.
Jin An didn't have much interest in these ginseng fruits, so after observing them for a while, he took Zhang Zhuzhu and continued on the road.
Unexpectedly, we didn't go far this time when we encountered another strange tree.
The ancient tree is so thick that it takes three or four people to hug it. Thousands of roots hang down from the lush crown. This is an old tree with a long history.
They had been walking in the magical forest for so long, and this was the oldest tree they had ever encountered. They couldn't help but take a closer look.
It was just a few more glances that made Jin An raise his eyebrows. Behind the dense roots hanging like a curtain, there seemed to be a huge shadow hidden, staring at them.
Jin An pushed aside the roots that were growing out, and a beautiful woman's face suddenly appeared in front of him. If Jin An wasn't a brave artist, he would have been frightened away by the sudden appearance of the woman's face.
This woman's skin is blue, unlike ordinary people's icy skin. Her eyes are tightly closed, with a cold and enchanting beauty. Those hanging roots are actually from the hair that this woman has grown.
The torch is moved downwards, revealing the naked upper body of this woman, vividly, her lower body grows together with the old tree, forming a tree knot. Looking at the tree knot, one can't help but wonder whether a pair of slender legs will grow from it in the future.
, as flawless as this woman’s face.
"If the color of the skin wasn't different, it looked too much like a living person. Could it be that an old tree has become a spirit?" Zhang Zhuzhu, who had previously been shy about the human-shaped ginseng fruit, now also held a torch and came closer to take a look.
Jin An: "This girl, like the previous ginseng fruit, has not yet completely transformed. It is often the lack of fire, the slightest difference can make a huge difference, a huge difference."
Jin An's words seemed to be an answer but he didn't seem to have an answer. Zhang Zhuzhu made a confused sound.
"Taoist Master Jin'an, this smells very fragrant. It should be... edible, right?" Zhang Zhuzhu sniffed his nose vigorously and said hesitantly.
Jin An: "..."
"Uncle Zhuzi, you have changed."
Zhang Zhuzhu: "Ah?"
This time they were looking for the plague-repelling tree. Jin An was not interested in these trivial matters, so he did not destroy the tree and continued deep into the forest garden.
Another reason is that we don’t want to scare the snake too early, and we don’t want to disturb the plague-repelling tree too early.
Zhang Zhuzhu looked back three times with one step. Seeing Jin An walking away, he hurriedly caught up with Jin An.
"Taoist Master Jin'an, wait for me."
"Taoist Master Jin'an, you have a lot of experience. What do you think is going on here? Why do these trees look like people?"
"This is not planting trees, this is planting people!"
Jin An said thoughtfully: "An immortal gathers the essence of the sun and the moon, and absorbs the aura of the heaven and the earth."
"But there is no sun and moon here, no aura of heaven and earth, only the coldness of corpse energy and the scattered souls of the dead after death. Perhaps it is the overflowing essence of the dead that has created these strange flowers and trees."
"It has made these extraordinary achievements in the world."
Zhang Zhuzhu was confused when he heard this: "Please ask Taoist Priest Jin'an to explain it clearly."
Jin An: "According to folk wisdom, a person can attain enlightenment and ascend to heaven."
"Everyone has immortals, and heaven has immortals. I'm afraid this plague-repelling tree is trying to become an immortal."
"The ginseng fruit tree and female tree we saw should be the chickens and dogs following the plague-repelling tree."
When the ancient proverb was mentioned, Zhang Zhuzhu understood it this time: "I see, no wonder, Taoist Priest Jin'an, you let go of those ginseng fruit trees and female trees."
Jin An: "Uncle Zhuzi, you still haven't forgotten the female tree, right?"
Zhang Zhuzi denied it flatly: "I am not that kind of person!"
