The days of waiting are always painful, but fortunately Yun Buliu has enough time and patience.
Although the gourds were mature, Yun Buliu continued to let them hang on the gourd vines and sent five peacocks to watch the gourds and not let other birds approach.
The peacock, the king of birds...
Yun Buliu felt that this statement should just be people's casual talk. At least in this world, here, there are many birds that dare not to bird those five peacocks.
Not to mention Gale, the two little flame birds also dared not to kill them. According to Xiao Xiangji, these two little guys even dared to tease the five peacocks.
It can be said that those two little flame birds are indeed like newborn calves not afraid of tigers. They dared to provoke Xiaobai as soon as they came here. If Xiaobai hadn't known that these two little flame birds were given to Yun Buliu by someone else,
It is estimated that it probably swallowed them in one bite without spitting any hairs.
After being frightened by Xiaobai once, I didn't dare to chirp at Xiaobai, but I was still dissatisfied and angry with the five peacocks and those foolish people from Goose Village.
The bird has been chirping all day long, and I don’t know if it’s a scolding fight.
Except for the two little flamingos that dared not challenge the five peacocks, even the foolish and brave people from Goose Village who lived by the lake dared to goose at them.
But there is no problem in letting them do small things like guarding the gourd pergola to prevent other birds from approaching.
Since Yun Buliu fed them a drop of the golden marrow of the giant beast, these peacocks have gradually begun to grow in size, and their feathers have become more colorful.
In addition, in the past few months, Xiao Xiangji has been feeding them with Yuan Qi beads from time to time, and they already have a certain amount of Origin Qi in their bodies. If they fight, they will really be able to defeat each other.
Although the Goose Village fools dared to yell at them, they had never won, including the two Goose Village fools who also grew in size after being fed.
It can be seen that the growth rate of this peacock is faster than that of those silly heroes in Goose Village.
As for the dozen or so golden pheasants, although there have been considerable changes, in comparison, they are on the worst level.
Seeing the changes in these golden pheasants, Yun Buliu didn't care much. At least when he really wanted to kill them in the future, he wouldn't feel too distressed.
While waiting, Yun Buliu began to write the middle part of the Book of Talisman, and at the same time began to educate Xiao Xiangji. He planned to let Xiao Xiangji take over his place as a substitute teacher at Tiancang Academy.
Xiao Xiangji has studied the book of formations and has a solid foundation in rune prohibition. Yun Buliu is going to conduct a surprise training for her and then ask her to take over the class.
It's not that being a tutor in the academy is boring. In fact, teaching those students is quite interesting sometimes. What really makes him not want to move is that he has to stay and make those gourds.
A month later, those gourd vines officially withered, Yun Buliu picked the five red, yellow, blue, white and green gourds and hung them to dry under the eaves of the small wooden house on the cliff.
Another month later, after the college officially started classes, Yun Buliu asked Xiao Xiangji to teach for him, while he was at home, preparing to make those gourds.
He first used linen cloth to remove the small burrs on the surface of the gourd, then made an opening on the top of the gourd, and then used his mental power to take out the pulp and seeds inside.
Finally, use your spiritual power as a knife to scrape off the flesh on the inner wall of the gourd to make a perfect gourd.
If the runes and prohibitions were not engraved on these gourds, the appearance of these gourds would actually be quite perfect.
However, such a gourd was obviously not what Yunliu didn't want.
What he wants is to be able to carve rune restrictions on it.
However, what frustrated him was that none of these gourds could meet his requirements.
There is no problem in inscribing the prohibition runes for transformation, but once the runes prohibiting space expansion are inscribed, the gourd wall will not be able to withstand the blessing of such runes and will directly crack.
No matter whether the forbidden rune for expanding the space is carved first or last, the result is the same. Even if he uses the reinforcement rune to strengthen the gourd, the result is the same.
It took half a month for Yun Buliu to understand that his gourd cultivation plan was still far from success.
The time spent on these gourds last year can be said to have been wasted.
But fortunately, the Five Elements Formation is still there, and the fertility of the five-color soil in the formation has not weakened much. In addition, he still has a lot of behemoth golden marrow to squander.
So, he planned to cultivate it again next year, just hoping that these gourd seeds would be more powerful.
Although he was a little depressed when the experiment failed, he quickly picked up his mood after his depression and began to calm down and compile the middle and lower parts of the Book of Talismans.
On the weekend, Xiao Xiangji came back riding a strong wind. She didn't see the five-color gourd, so she asked Yun Buliu strangely, "Brother Yun, was it successful?"
Yun Buliu coughed lightly and said, "Failed!"
"Ah! Failed!" Xiao Xiangji was also a little frustrated.
Yun Buliu saw her expression and smiled to comfort her. After all, Xiao Xiangji spent much more time on these gourds than Yun Buliu did.
"Don't be sad. You must know that failure is the mother of success. Only through constant failure can we find the correct way of nurturing. At worst, we can just continue nurturing next year!"
Xiao Xiangji nodded, but she was still a little unhappy.
Originally, she was thinking that if those gourds could be cultivated successfully, then she could ask Yun Buliu for the little red gourd. The little red gourd was very beautiful.
Originally she wanted the white one, but her little white sister said at that time that the white one was hers and no one else could take it from her.
So Xiao Xiangji had no choice but to settle for the next best thing and choose the red one.
She believed that Yun Buliu would be willing to give it to her.
After all, Yun Buliu doesn't need to use so many gourds.
But who would have thought that it actually failed!
Seeing that she was unhappy, Yun Buliu said again: "It's definitely not that simple to cultivate a good gourd. Look at the giant lotus in the lake. That lotus has been like that for more than ten years, but until now,
It’s not in full bloom yet! It can be seen that good things need time to grow and settle, just like wine, the older it gets, the more fragrant it becomes. So don’t be in a hurry, don’t be in a hurry!”
Yun Buliu was also thinking, if one day the gourds they cultivated really looked like the giant lotus, would they really breed a few gourd babies?
Although this possibility is relatively low, since animals can become spirits and monsters, why can't plants? Maybe the giant lotus plant in the center of the lake will become a lotus monster in the future?
