"If you knew, don't be so reckless. Fortunately, our village has a gentle attitude. If it had been any other village, you would have turned into a hedgehog now."
Washujin directed everyone to put the sacks away while admonishing Dankiliu.
"Phew! A lot has changed."
Yan Yan sighed when he saw the busy people.
When I first came to Feimu Village, there were many simple tents next to the village, but now, those tents have turned into neat wooden houses.
Today's Feimu Village has long since expanded. It doesn't look like a village, but more like a small town.
"Why is your village so bare? Where are those trees that can electrocute people?"
Seeing all this, Yi Yan felt very uncomfortable. Upon closer inspection, it turned out that all the nearby trees had disappeared.
Except for a few trees in the village, which I don't know if they are green trees, the surroundings are bare, which is naturally strange to see.
"Of course it will be chopped down." Jiujin gritted his teeth. He had long been dissatisfied with those trees that could electrocute people.
So after strengthening his physical fitness, Jiujin led the villagers to cut down all the nearby trees.
In fact, this is not entirely due to Washijin's own personal factors. Wood is indispensable for fuel and building materials.
After the war broke out, even wood became scarce. In the past, the wood near Feimu Village was used to burn as firewood, but now it is used to build houses, but its functions have been upgraded.
Fortunately, the average physical fitness of the people in Feimu Village is superhuman. Otherwise, most people would not be able to stand it if they were shocked from time to time while staying in the house.
"Why did the tree I planted grow so small?" Yi Yan looked around and saw a twisted golden tree among a group of wooden houses.
Seeing a few small leaves scattered on the golden sapling, Yi Yan suddenly felt something bad in his heart.
"Is this still young?! After the evil spirit broke out, this tree grew like crazy. It was less than a year old and it became the largest tree in Feimu Village." Jiujin exclaimed when he heard Yu Yan's words. got up.
Is this still young? What are the other trees? Grass?
Shaking his head to get rid of these vague thoughts in his mind, Jiujin waved to Dangui Liuzhao:
"Come with me and help you get rid of the evil spirits in your body."
"coming."
Danki Liu arranged his clothes, but when he saw the shogunate purple armor on his body, he took off the armor and followed him wearing only common clothes.
"Let me see how you raised the golden tree like this."
Yi Yan saw the "thin" branches of the golden tree from a distance. In fact, it was not considered thin, but it was a little thin compared to the golden tree of the same age.
Walking along the street towards Feimu Village, a sturdy pale golden tree climbed up in the open space.
Not only is the color of the giant tree different from other trees, but its shape is also very different from ordinary trees.
The thick trunk grew twisted without any branching branches, just like a twisted steel bar stuck vertically into the ground, although the "steel bar" was too thick.
Because there are no branches, this golden tree naturally has no crown. On its top, a few curled leaves swayed stubbornly in the wind, seeming to proclaim its identity as a "tree" to the world.
"Is the golden tree also affected by the evil spirit?" Yi Yan ran over. Looking at the obviously abnormal golden tree, he couldn't help but be surprised.
"Is this tree originally called the Golden Tree?" Jiujin raised his head and looked at the giant tree standing in the center of the village.
No matter when, as long as he sees this ever-bright tree, his heart will be filled with hope for the future.
As long as this big tree exists, Feimu Village can rely on its continued existence. This was Washujin's only encouragement on the cloudy Yao Island.
"The evil spirit must have affected it, right? After all, all the evil spirits we were infected with were solved through this big tree." Jiujin stroked the rough bark of the golden tree and answered with some uncertainty.
The evil spirit's outburst was silent, and at first they thought it was just a rainy day.
It was not until the villagers began to experience symptoms such as vomiting blood and madness on a large scale that he realized that the evil spirit might have erupted.
Fortunately, at this moment, the golden tree grew rapidly. The light it poured out drove the evil spirit away from Feimu Village.
Afterwards, with the help of the only doctor in the village who saved their money, they came up with a method that could remove the evil spirit pollution from the body.
"I don't know if the shadow affects it, but this golden tree is definitely malnourished."
Menggert walked to this strange golden tree and couldn't help but sigh.
How has the golden tree in the border area ever experienced such grievances? As long as the golden seeds take root, root tombs, corpse storage pots, and golden tree guards are all available and must be arranged immediately.
It's not like now, not only can't absorb enough nutrients, but also has to turn the energy that I originally used to germinate into grace and spread it out to resist the omnipresent evil spirits.
"Gulu!"
Menggert stretched out his strong arm and scratched it with his sharp fingertips, making a big hole in the tight bluish-white skin.
Dark red blood flowed from Menggert's wound, and in the flowing blood, a sense of oppression came to his face.
Under this powerful pressure, the air through which the blood flowed seemed to be distorted, making the straight blood column look like it was squirming.
"Clap!"
As soon as the blood fell into the ground, it seeped down at an unreasonable speed, like a sponge that had shriveled for a long time, frantically absorbing any possible moisture.
"This much should be enough." Menggert counted the time secretly in his heart. After three to five seconds, the cracked skin on his arm healed instantly.
"So... so awesome!" Dangui Liu saw that Mengt healed his injuries so easily, and coupled with the strange phenomenon that occurred when he was bleeding just now, he suddenly felt that this orc hidden under the cloak was unfathomable. Tested.
"Is it awesome? If you don't treat the evil spirit pollution in your body, you will go to the underworld to see this awesome scene."
Jiujin patted Danguiliu on the shoulder and pulled him to the side of the golden tree.
"How to cure it? Do you want to invite Ember to come over and do it?" Tuanguiliu said, pointing to Ember who was observing the golden tree.
"No, the point is not the embers, but the golden tree."
Jiujin looked down at the brown land, which was exactly the same as usual. Even if Menggert's strange blood was submerged in it just now, it didn't bring about any change.
Not even a hint of red.
He looked up at the golden tree again, and this familiar tree seemed to be brighter.
Of course, Washizu is not very sensitive to small changes in light. The first thing he discovered was the flattened bark of the golden tree.
In the past, the bark of this golden tree was pitted and pitted, as if it had been eaten by countless mosquitoes.
But now, it looks like an ordinary tree.
"It seems that we can store more medicinal powder." Jiujin muttered a few words silently.
"What did you say?" Danguiliu on the side plucked his ears. Jiujin's voice was so low that he couldn't hear clearly.
"It's nothing. You can just use a larger dose of the medicine later, and it will heal faster." Jiujin pulled out the samurai sword at his waist, and the bright light of the sword made Dangui Liu's eyes hurt.
"What are you going to do?" Tuan Guiliu took a few steps back and asked in surprise.
"Get the medicine!"
Jiujin shouted, and then slashed at the golden tree with his sword.
Now, Ember and Menggert knew that besides malnutrition, there was another important reason why the golden tree did not grow big.
Chapter 412 Escape from the Golden Tree
2024-01-13
"Chong-"
The buzzing sound of gold and iron echoed in everyone's ears. Among the splashing sparks, wisps of golden light flickered.
Jiujin had quick eyes and quick hands. He stretched out his arm so fast that he could only see the afterimage.
"Huh--, your tree is really hard. If you can peel off a little bit of the bark and forge it a little, it will definitely be a magic weapon!"
Jiujin opened his palm, and a handful of gold powder appeared in his palm. If you didn't look closely, you might have thought it was gold ground into powder.
"Is this how you treat this tree?" Yi Yan ran over and touched the gap in the trunk of the golden tree, asking in shock.
"What's wrong? It's just a bit of bark. It won't have any impact on the tree."
Washizu and his two swords were missing a piece of their swords and were stuck on the ground. This golden tree is good, but it's too hard.
Every time he comes to "get the medicine", he will break a samurai sword at least.
If it weren't for the excellent weapon forging materials such as crystallized bone marrow near Feimu Village, the village really wouldn't be able to produce so many weapons.
"No? Haven't you tried to collect the golden debris sprinkled by this big tree?" Ember was a little overwhelmed. It is very convenient to collect the grace dew drops, and it is good for both the Golden Tree and Feimu Village's knives.
"Debris? Where are the crumbs?" Jiujin looked very confused. He pointed to the sky. Apart from the golden light emitted by the golden tree, was there anything else in the sky?
"Ah? Something went wrong?" Yu Jin also saw this scene. He scratched his head and didn't know what was going on.
The golden tree is a creation of the Supreme Will. He can only plant it, but not build it.
"Wait a minute, I'll go ask." After thinking for a long time, Yi Jin still didn't know what happened to the golden tree.
Fortunately, he directly put his head on the trunk of the golden tree and began to try to communicate with it.
"Is this so..., I understand..."
"You have to change it..., don't you want to change it?"
"If you don't change, I'll call your brother to come over and whip you? Oh, no, it should be your brother."
……
As Yu Yan talked, he felt that Daozhu's golden tree was miserable. It broke out of the shell first, but it grew so slender.
Compared with its brother who was born a few months later, it was barely a sprout.
"That's it. I'll ask your brother to come over and give you some food! Now you can be obedient!"
"Besides, after a few decades, he will send it, and he will definitely be buried at your feet by then. Then his soul, isn't it..."
Yi Yan opened his palm and squeezed it casually a few times, then patted the trunk of the golden tree and whispered.
In this way, Washijin sold his soul to Ember without knowing it. In exchange, the golden crumbs poured down again.
It means favor and also means life.
The blessed earth will never lack life.
"Hey, hey? Why do I feel better?"
"That means this tree... the medicinal powder is effective, and the dose must be increased."
Washujin heard Dankiliu's words and wrapped the bandage around him tighter.
