Chapter 415: The Thousand-mile-Long Search for Trees
They walked along the Xunmu Bridge for two days, and finally crossed the river and arrived at the "Ossi City" on the other side.
Osi City is located on a plain by the river. This plain is called the "Osi Wilderness" and is home to large tracts of mulberry trees.
Legend has it that a long time ago, there were three mulberry trees here, which were tall and tall. There was a woman who knelt and leaned on a big tree to spin silk. She often half-kneeled on a big tree and fed on mulberry leaves.
, and then spit out shining silk from her mouth. Because she spins silk every day, the wilderness where she lives is called the Wilderness of Os.
Lu Cheng and others entered the city and found a place to stay, planning to stay for a while before leaving.
Qingmei went out to inquire about the news and came back soon to report.
"Brother, I heard a story.
In ancient times, there was a man who went on an expedition and had only his daughter and a stallion at home.
Because the daughter missed her father so much, she declared that if the horse brought her father back, she would marry that horse. She joked with the stallion: "If you can bring my father back for me, I will marry you as my wife."<
/p>
Who would have thought that after hearing this, the horse broke free from the reins and ran to the border fortress.
When my father saw the family's horse running towards him, he thought something had happened at home, so he hurried back.
The daughter was very happy and excited when she saw her father.
The horse took their father back, but the father and daughter reneged on their promise and even shot the horse and hung its skin on the steps of the hall.
One day, the horsehide suddenly wrapped the little girl, rolled her up and disappeared.
The father was missing for a long time. A few days later, he found a little girl wrapped tightly in horsehide among the branches and leaves of a mulberry tree. The little girl was covered with a white horsehide, and the horsehide was like a wrapping.
It's the same with her, it becomes one with her and cannot be removed at all.
If she gathered the horsehide from left to right, her entire body would be surrounded by the horsehide, and then merge with the horsehide, turning into a white worm with a horse-like head that kept squirming on the ground. p>
The little girl turned into a silkworm, spinning silk and making a cocoon on the tree.
Later, the Emperor of Heaven named her the "Silkworm God".
People call that kind of tree "mulberry", which is homophonic to "mourning", and it is said that the little girl died here."
After Lu Cheng heard the story, he thought to himself: "I wonder who made up this story to deceive children. Can a person turn into a silkworm by wrapping himself in a horse's skin? This is too ridiculous!"
However, this is a strange world full of mysteries. There are even trees that grow thousands of miles long, and there are techniques that can make people pregnant just by looking at them. What else is so strange?
Lu Cheng asked: "Are the three tallest mulberry trees still there?"
Qingmei said: "It's still there, but only the trunk is left, with no branches or leaves. It is said that the silkworm god ate all the leaves."
"Are there any local specialties?"
"The specialty is silk, which is of excellent quality and cheap."
"Ask Siping to help you get a batch of animal skins to sell, and then exchange them for silk. Then ask Yingchu to see if there are any branches in the three trees, and how many can be cut back."
"Okay."
Selling animal skins and buying silk took time. Lu Cheng didn't want to stay here and wait, so he took advantage of his nap to rub the jade ring, his mind wandering, and he returned to modern times.
When I woke up, I picked up my phone and looked at the news. I found that society had become peaceful again recently. The impact of the rumors of "human destruction" only lasted for three months, and the country tried to calm it down as much as possible. Regardless of whether this matter was
Whether it's true or not, it will only happen 3,500 years later. Before then, people have to live.
Now that society has stabilized, the stock market has begun to rise from the bottom. The stock prices of several companies controlled by Lu Cheng have recovered, and the shares he previously increased have become good investments.
Luo Tao sent an email saying that the IPO of "Luming Refrigeration" has started again and is expected to be listed in the near future.
Chen Ming sent an email saying that "Yimeng Chinese Medicinal Materials" has opened large medicinal gardens in Yimeng Mountain and Kunlun Mountain respectively, and it is expected that its revenue will double this year.
Jiang Hao sent an email saying that "Wulian Lingmai" is growing well and the planting area has expanded by 30%.
Zheng Hanjiang sent an email saying that "Quancheng Tool Factory" has been reborn, and the knives it produces are very popular in major domestic supermarkets, and it is preparing to explore foreign markets.
Regarding these emails, Lu Cheng only glanced at them briefly and did not reply to them one by one.
Nowadays, wealth is just an external possession to him, more or less is not important.
He is more concerned about the cultivation of cultivating civilization and the growth of cultivators. He founded the "Lingmai Company", "Elixir Development Company", "Xianshentang", "Knife Factory", as well as "Kunlun Jue" and "Martial Arts Style".
", all in order to cultivate more cultivators.
If through his efforts, the cultivation civilization fully develops and cultivates many masters, then when the Zijin 118 galaxy collides with the solar system 3500 years later, more mortals may survive.
If he does nothing, then when the crisis comes, all the burden will fall on his shoulders alone, even if he is covered in iron, how many nails can he hit?
In the early morning, the lights were on in the study. Jiang Qiuyun was studying runes. She felt more and more that mastering runes was important and the key to communicating between heaven and earth. She was a junior spirit witch and could draw the simplest runes in the void.
Some runes have endless spiritual power, some have offensive power, and all kinds of runes can be integrated into spiritual consciousness for further cultivation.
There is an orchid in her marrow sea, which is condensed by spiritual consciousness. It can appear as a physical entity or as an imaginary image. The leaves and petals of the orchid can emerge from the orifice above the head, forming a shape several feet high above the head.
virtual image.
So far, the orchid only has five leaves, which are spread out like five arms, which can be swung as you like, like five long swords.
After the runes are condensed one by one, they are integrated into the orchid leaves to make the leaves stronger, and the killing power of the leaves also increases.
Lu Cheng walked over and sat next to her.
Jiang Qiuyun looked up at him with a smile on her face: "Are you awake?"
Both of them are at the level of spirit witches, so they have very little sleep time. They even only slept for two hours for a week.
Therefore, the so-called sleeping together between husband and wife has become a very luxurious thing.
Lu Cheng wanted to say, "I have acquired a new skill that can make people pregnant with just a glance." However, he did not dare to say this, lest he arouse his wife's worry and suspicion.
He said with a smile: "I have saved 18,000 runes in my computer, more than 3,000 jade tablet inscriptions, and a large number of spells and classics, including "Lingjiu Palace Talisman Collection", "Lingjiu Palace Talisman Collection" and "Lingjiu Palace Talisman Collection".
"Palace Witch Medicine Collection" and so on. If you have anything you don't understand, you can ask me."
Jiang Qiuyun asked him a few questions about runes, and then said: "I'm going out in two days to attend the 13th National Committee of the Writers Association."
Lu Cheng asked: "Where will it be held?"
"Zhongnan Mountain."
"Shall I go with you?"
"Okay, let's take my daughter and go out for a few days."
"Drive there, or take a plane?"
"What do you think?"
Lu Cheng thought for a while and said, "Let's take the high-speed rail. The distance is 900 kilometers and it only takes three hours."
