Chapter 458: The Dead Tree
Although the painting is a bit hard to describe...
But at least he marked some special places, so it is still possible to identify them.
Ruan Xihe handed the drawings drawn by Ruoruo to Dazui and Jin respectively.
They split into three groups and began to look for Huanmu. Because they had a contract and were able to sense each other, they were not afraid of getting lost or caught by others.
Not long after, Dazui said that he saw a tree similar to the one in the painting and called Ruan Xihe to go and take a look.
Ruan Xihe brought Ruoruo and soon arrived at the place that Dazui mentioned.
The trees here are withered, the cold wind is howling, and it looks extremely desolate.
"Woman, here!" Big Mouth sat on a bare branch, raised his paws excitedly and waved to Ruan Xihe.
Ruan Xihe took Ruoruo over.
After arriving, he flew down from Ruan Xihe's shoulder and flew to the side of the tree where Big Mouth was sitting.
Start working your way around the trunk.
After studying for a long time, he began to observe the bushes next to him.
"Huh......"
As she watched, Ruoruo would occasionally let out a puzzled sigh.
"Isn't it still wooden?" Seeing him like this, Ruan Xihe couldn't help but ask.
"Yes." Ruoruo nodded, and then suddenly shook her head, "No..."
The big mouth and the little black face wrinkled up, "Yes means yes, no means no, what does 'yes and no' mean? Is it yes or no?"
"Ugh......"
Ruoruo sighed with a look of dejection, then flew back to Ruan Xihe dejectedly and sat on her shoulder.
"Let's put it this way, it used to be wooden, but now it's not."
Ruan Xihe turned his head to look at Ruoruo, "What does this mean?"
"Master, do you remember? I told you before that this valley is a place with rich spiritual power. The spiritual power of this valley should have been very rich before, but I don't know when it started, and the spiritual power was almost lost, so..."
“They are just dead trees now.”
As she was speaking, Roruru flew forward and broke off a dead branch.
"Master, look, the inside of this branch is completely dry. The whole tree is dead. Even the leaves are gone, let alone the fruit, so..."
So the spiritual fruit is gone.
The first method to help my father treat his Dantian is gone.
But Ruan Xihe was not discouraged, at least she had two other methods.
Ruoruo sat back on Ruan Xihe's shoulder. Ruan Xihe took the dead branch from him with a thoughtful expression.
"Ruoruo, if I plant it in the medicinal field in the space and then water it with Hongmeng Spring, can it still survive?"
"This..." Ruoruo held her face with her hands and thought for a while, "I'm not sure, but you can try."
Big Mouth listened to the conversation between the two people, and looked up and down at the dead tree under his butt with a little curiosity, but didn't think there was anything special about it.
"crunch-"
The big mouth bit the tree trunk.
"Pah, pah, pah! It's so disgusting..." It quickly spat out the bark and sawdust in its mouth, with an expression as ugly as it could be.
Even the most ordinary trees will contain some spiritual energy. Big Mouth has never seen such a dry tree without any spiritual energy.
It was as if something had sucked away all the spiritual energy in its body.
When Big Mouth sent a message to Ruan Xihe, saying that it had found a plant that was suspected to be a wood, Ruan Xihe was trying to recall Jin.
But until now, Jhin finally arrived.
He was transformed into the appearance of a three or four-year-old boy, with long, slightly curly fiery red hair scattered on his shoulders. His red eyes matched his cold and arrogant expression, and the contrast was particularly cute.
The flame pattern on his forehead leapt twice, and Jin raised his eyes coldly, his body filled with icy sharpness.
"I found something over there." His expression was a little solemn.
Ruan Xihe raised his eyebrows slightly, resisted the urge to rub his face, and motioned for him to continue.
Jin raised the drawing paper in his hand and added, "But it's not what's in the picture, but another vision."
"There is indeed something strange here." So it's not surprising that Jhin discovered something unusual.
But she couldn't tell what was strange about it.
There is not a trace of spiritual energy in the valley, which is just one of the strange things.
Ruan Xihe nodded thoughtfully, then looked up and looked around, "Let's go take a look?"
Jhin said nothing.
He put away the drawing paper, then turned around with his hands behind his back and led Ruan Xihe.
Although he looked like a child, he behaved like an adult, which somehow tickled Ruan Xihe's funny bone.
She touched her nose and tried not to laugh.
After Ruan Xihe put Ruoruo into the space, Big Mouth jumped onto her shoulder and lay down, and then she followed behind Jin.
Around and around.
I don't know how long it took.
Ruan Xihe only felt that the surrounding scenery was becoming more and more desolate, with weeds growing everywhere, and the height of the weeds was almost higher than her.
If a person stands inside, his or her figure will be completely covered.
Moreover, the blades of these grasses were very sharp, and Ruan Xihe's hand was cut accidentally.
She paused.
When I raised my hand, the blood on the back of my hand had inexplicably disappeared.
Ruan Xihe's attention fell on the leaves of the weeds. She could see a hint of bright red on the leaves. That was her blood.
But under Ruan Xihe's sight, the drop of blood gradually became smaller until it disappeared.
they......
Drinking her blood!
Ruan Xihe's eyes narrowed slightly. Ever since she stepped into this area, she had felt the faint fluctuation of spiritual energy in this area.
But there is something else mixed in.
It's not pure spiritual energy.
It is something that can control the will of creatures in the area.
And these wild grasses that drink human blood are the best proof.
Ruan Xihe walked more carefully, but he only paused for a moment and Jin's figure disappeared.
"Here." Jhin's voice sounded from the other side at the right time.
The weeds were too dense and too tall, so Ruan Xihe couldn't see Jin's figure, but she could tell that it was indeed Jin's voice.
Ruan Xihe took a step and was about to walk towards that direction, but just as he took a step, he stopped abruptly.
No.
This is not Jhin!
"Master, why are you still standing there? Come here!"
The voice of 'Jin' is still echoing.
But this 'Jin' had no idea that the real Suzaku would never call Ruan Xihe 'Master'.
The big mouth's black face wrinkled up again, and he whispered in Ruan Xihe's ear: "Woman, why do I feel like there's something fishy going on?"
Ruan Xihe crossed his arms and said with a half-smile: "Where are you? I can't see you, I can't get through."
At this time, half a body popped out from the weeds not far away.
The figure was about three or four years old, with fiery red hair, red eyes, and even the flame pattern on his forehead was exactly the same as Jhin's.
