Chapter 288 The magic of immortal seeds and the letter from the temple
The innocence on the grassland changes at will.
The weather was not bad in the early morning, and the sun was still shining in the morning. By noon, a large amount of dark clouds had accumulated in the sky in the distance. It was so dark that it seemed to be hanging above people's heads, casting large shadows on the ground. In the afternoon, strong winds began to blow between the sky and the earth.
The wind made the weeds bend down outside the city, and the loess in the city flew up.
Song You came to the city wall and looked into the distance.
The sky and the earth are vast, and strong winds can come and go without hindrance. Even the rags blown up by the wind look free and unrestrained.
It’s really a scenery you can’t see in the south.
Taoist people take a look at it for a long time.
Until the voice of the calico cat came from beside me: "The clouds over there seem to be falling."
"yes."
"Why are the clouds so low here?"
"Maybe it's because the land is too vast, flat and empty, and it seems low." The Taoist withdrew his gaze from a distance, looked at the calico cat standing on the city wall and turned around to stare at him, and answered patiently, "It may also be because of the terrain and geography.
The reason is that the clouds condense low. It may also be because the clouds in front are cumulonimbus clouds, which grow large and thick, with high tops and low bottoms."
The calico cat stared straight at him, with clear stupidity in its eyes:
"Can't understand……"
"It's normal for Sanhua Empress not to understand. No matter how smart a person is, it's difficult to understand something they don't understand the first time. The same goes for cats." Song You retracted his gaze and looked into the distance, "Sanhua
Hua Niangniang only needs to know that she has seen a different kind of scenery."
“A different scenery~”
"yes."
"Cumulonimbus~"
"yes."
"Will it fall off?"
"When it falls, it turns into rain and snow."
"Why not Maomao?"
"I want to ask too."
"Why……"
Sanhua Empress asked a lot of questions why.
Song You answered patiently while looking into the distance.
In the shadows cast by the clouds, the demons' attack seemed to be brewing.
Until there was a muffled sound——
"Boom!"
There was a muffled thunder in the distance.
If it were a demon who had just attained enlightenment, or an evil creature who had just been born, he would probably be scared to death just by hearing this sound.
Only then did Song You look away and said to Empress Sanhua:
"It's going to rain, let's go back."
"oh……"
The cat then jumped off the city wall and followed behind him.
As soon as I walked back, the rain started falling.
Heavy drops of rain hit the military town thousands of miles away from Changjing, making a crackling sound. When the wind and rain hit, there was no shelter for the vegetation, the sky and the earth were dark, and you got wet even standing under the eaves.
"Boom!"
Thunders sounded one after another, illuminating the dark sky and earth.
Song You borrowed a book from Commander Zhang and sat by the window, holding the book and reading patiently while waiting. His mind sank into it, and the sound of wind and rain seemed to disappear.
This rain is really coming down hard.
In less than half an hour, the ground was flooded with water. An hour later, the roof of an old house was broken by wind and rain. The military school who came and went for repairs was shouting outside the house in the rain and water.
Fortunately, although Yuanji City is neither on a mountain nor at a low place, and the houses have been raised, the water level just reached the threshold and flooded the road outside half a leg deep. It has maintained this height and has not risen again. Even when the rain is light, the water outside
It quickly flowed away and was exposed on the ground.
Song You still reads with peace of mind.
Sanhua Empress was playing with her new little flag in the house, sometimes practicing calligraphy, sometimes turning into a cat, going to the window to watch the rain and the people coming and going outside.
Three days passed quickly.
"Tuk tuk..."
There was a knock on the door.
Song You put down the book in his hand and opened the door to take a look. Standing outside was a primary school student wearing a raincoat with muddy feet.
"Mr. Song, the military advisor invites you!"
"Hold on!"
Song You turned back into the house, took out his umbrella, and followed him out without hesitation: "Please lead the way."
It rained for three days and the rain became lighter.
The streets outside are full of wet mud and footprints.
One person and one cat followed the primary school hurriedly, and soon arrived in that room again.
There were still about ten generals lying in the room, including General Chen, Military Advisor Zhang, Jiang Dadu and several other advisers and generals. They all looked like they had just arrived, and they were probably concerned but wanted to come and see the magic.
There was also a table placed next to everyone, and a large box was placed on the table.
The big box is not too big and can be held by one person. It is simple, exquisite and has a lot of aura.
"Mr. Song is here?"
As soon as Commander Zhang saw Song You coming in, he quickly said: "The small box has come back, but we haven't opened it yet. We are waiting for Mr. Song to come."
"open it."
Song You said as soon as he came in.
"okay!"
Jiang Dadu immediately opened the big box.
Inside was a small box about a foot long and a palm wide, like a box used by wealthy people to store gold and silver.
Then open the small box.
Inside was an envelope and a large bamboo tube. Inside the bamboo tube were many black seeds, which looked similar to pumpkin seeds.
"gentlemen……"
Jiang Dadu looked at Song You.
"..."
Song You remained silent and picked up the envelope.
Just pinch it and it's very thin.
"Thank you..."
Song You said sincerely to Jiang Dadu, put the envelope into his arms, then reached into the small box, grabbed a handful of seeds, took a look, and put the rest back, leaving only
One.
Then he turned and looked at the standing generals: "Is there any general who can dig a hole in the ground for me?"
"I'm coming!"
Immediately, a general with a sword shouted and pulled out the sword in his hand with a swipe. However, he inserted the sword into the earth with only a slight exertion.
If you pry again, there will be a pit.
"Thank you."
I saw the Taoist casually throwing the seeds in.
The general filled the soil back with understanding.
Song You picked up the teapot next to him, poured some water on the ground, and then said to the ground:
"Can immortals understand human language?
"If you understand people's language, you will grow quickly."
Under the gaze of everyone, something magical happened - there was a little more black in the loess. In the blink of an eye, the black bit broke away from the loess, revealing green buds.
The seeds that had just been thrown away had already taken root and broke out of the ground with the original black seed shells. After a while, the seed shells fell off, and the delicate leaves underneath suddenly unfolded.
The seedlings also grew taller quickly.
This plant seems to have infinite vitality. It grows rapidly without Song You's urging or Song You's spell.
Everyone present was amazed.
After about one stick of incense, there was a seedling vine about half a man tall in the room. It was very green, like a pea seedling, with blue-purple flowers blooming on it.
"Can immortals understand human language?"
Song You said this, pointing to the general lying next to him: "If you understand people's words, you can take the magic from this person."
Everyone has opened their eyes wide.
The small soldier guarding the door couldn't help but poke his head in to take a look.
Even the general lying next to him couldn't help but turn his head and stare closely at the seedling vine that was as tall as half a man next to him.
This is something that usually can only be heard from storytellers or stories, but now it is actually happening in front of our eyes. How can it not be tempting?
The seedlings swayed for a while, and in a short period of time, the flowers withered and withered, but there was a fruit as big as a pea underneath. Then the fruit slowly grew, and the process was visible to the naked eye. Everyone was shocked one after another.
In the midst of the call, it took about another stick of incense to grow, and the fruit grew to the size of a watermelon, dark and oval, with faint lines visible on it.
"oops!"
A shout from Commander Zhang sounded nearby.
Everyone turned their heads following the shouting, and then realized that their eyes had just been fixed on the melon vines growing on the ground in the house and the growing fruits, including the general, but everyone, including the
The general himself didn't notice that as the fruit grew and matured, the bulge on his vest had disappeared.
Except for a little red mark left, it is almost as good as before.
But even this little red mark quickly disappeared in everyone's eyes.
Looking at the melon vine again, the leaves are withered and shrunk one by one, and the melon base is dry and hard, and it seems to be mature.
"This is really amazing!"
"Amazing!"
"Immortal magic!"
"General Luo, the bag on your back is gone. Quickly touch it to see if it still hurts?"
General Luo listened and subconsciously touched it with his backhand.
Well, it's too strong and can't be touched.
Immediately, a general who was close to him stepped over and carefully touched his vest. Both of them made a sound of surprise. Then the standing general laughed and slapped him on the back with a snap.
It's actually as good as ever.
But I just heard the Taoist in front say:
"It still needs to be chopped off."
Then he invited a general to chop the melon into pieces.
It was almost completely filled with water, dark red in color, and smelly.
The lying general recovered completely and even stood up.
Everyone was extremely excited for a moment.
"There are too many generals who have been bewitched. If the next person comes, I'm afraid they won't be able to finish it in a few days. Fortunately, this immortal species can understand human speech. As long as he knows the spell, mortals can also make it effective." Song
You waited until they had finished quarreling and then said, "The incantation is just like what I recited before. Sow the seeds, cover them with soil, pour some water and recite the previous incantation first to make it grow. But I only recited one sentence, but you have a moment.
Just keep reciting it until it blooms. Then recite the second part of the incantation to make it take the magic and bear fruit. You have to keep reciting it until the fruit is ripe and cut it with a knife."
"I'll note it down later."
Song You glanced at the small box again.
There are about 300 seeds.
The starling in the view has some obsessive-compulsive disorder, and he probably has three hundred grains.
"If you have more, you need to return it to me."
"must!"
"I'll go back first."
"Sir, walk slowly..."
Song You bowed his hands to everyone, then took the letter and returned to his residence.
After sitting down at the table, the calico cat couldn't wait to jump on the table. Song You ignored her and just opened the envelope and took out the letter.
There is only a piece of paper inside.
Write a few short sentences.
It's not like writing with a brush, but like writing with feathers dipped in ink. The handwriting is very ordinary, and it's also written in vernacular——
I have received both letters. Master wrote you a reply last time, but he said he would give it to you next time. Everything is fine with Master. Don’t think about it outside.
There is no doubt that it was written by the old myna in the temple.
