Chapter 3223 cartoonist Oda and the fruit of the soil
It turns out that this tree shrine does not enshrine a certain god in Japanese mythology or folklore, but a real sacred tree! That’s why it is called the “tree shrine”.
Therefore, although it has the name of a shrine, it does not belong to the Shinto system...
This sacred tree is the biggest secret of the Tree Shrine. It is hidden deep in the forbidden area and cannot be seen by outsiders. Even the members of the shrine only have two chances to see it in their life!
Once when he was formally accepted as a member of the shrine, and once before his death.
Members of the Tree Shrine do not need to practice at first. They only need to become formal disciples and be led by the high priest of the shrine to the forbidden area. If you pick a fruit from the sacred tree and eat it, you will get various kinds of fruits.
Ability! Cast spells of different properties.
It sounds very wonderful! There is no need to go through the hardships on the road of cultivation, no need to experience the great enlightenment between life and death, just eat a piece of fruit to gain magic power...
But in fact, everything in this world is a matter of misfortune and blessing.
Since the members of the Tree Shrine obtain mana by swallowing the fruit of the sacred tree, their realm is fixed throughout their lives. Whether they are weak or strong is decided the moment they successfully eat the fruit!
For example, after some shrine disciples eat it, they will immediately become powerful men comparable to the Seven Immortals. According to legend, there are also people who eat the fruit of the sacred tree and directly become as powerful as the heavenly master! And some, after eating it, they gain
But his magic power is equivalent to that of the weakest mage.
And according to rumors, for thousands of years, not even the members of the Tree Shrine themselves know what the standards and rules are for obtaining magic power...
Of course, realm is one thing, and combat effectiveness is another. So after gaining mana by swallowing the fruits of the sacred tree, different people will take different paths. It is also possible to improve yourself through fighting and killing.
Some people become very strong after swallowing the fruit of the sacred tree, but then live a carefree life without any intention of making progress. In the end, their fighting power may not be as good as those who are weaker than them after swallowing the fruit.
Of course, not everyone can eat the fruits of this sacred tree!
If the devouring fails, the person who tried to devour it will die suddenly on the spot. The corpse will be entangled by the python-like roots of the sacred tree and pulled into the ground, where it will absorb the nutrients of the sacred tree and regenerate new fruits of the sacred tree for the destined person...
…
"Fake! What is this Raoshizi Sacred Tree? It sounds so weird and strange. I don't think it looks like a Sacred Tree, but more like a Demonic Tree. I'm getting goosebumps."
The fat cat held its arms with its stubby furry paws, pretending to be scared.
Fu Yang: "...are you, a fat cat, scared? I think you are excited. Don't think about the sacred tree. We have more important things to do. We can't make things worse."
"I know, I know, Mr. Fu, you are too wordy."
Mr. Xiong waved his hands, a little impatiently: "But having said that, this routine of swallowing fruits to gain strength is a bit familiar. Come to think of it...that's right! That anime called "One Piece" is like this, isn't it?
Is it? It’s a bit like it. That thing is called a devil fruit, right?”
This damn fat cat is also a fun-loving character. He is good at eating, drinking and having fun. He must have watched famous anime like "One Piece".
That’s right!
Fu Yang smiled and stroked the dog's head, oh no, it was a cat's head. He said: "When I first saw the information about the Tree Shrine, I felt that this method of obtaining mana was very similar to that drawn by the cartoonist named Eiichiro Oda.
What about the Devil Fruit in "One Piece"? Although the manga is definitely much richer than the tree shrine in reality, and it is not exactly the same, but after all, art comes from life and is higher than life."
Makes sense...
Wei Ke, who was next to him, also smiled and nodded, and interjected: "When we were at Nasuno Qingqiu Palace, Tamamo Mae talked about the source of the Taoist tradition of your red pine seven-color spiritual power, Shayang. Even the "Apotheosis of the Gods"
The novels and stories are all adapted from the original wars of the Shang and Zhou dynasties. Some Japanese cartoonists know some things about the cultivation world, and then they make up some things, which is normal. Maybe Eiichiro Oda is as good as
I met a certain disciple of the Tree Shrine and learned some secrets, so I came up with the idea of Devil Fruit."
The three of them chatted and laughed, and soon arrived at the Tree Shrine.
The process was smooth and needless to say.
As expected, Fu Yang and Okayama Haruou, the young and powerful man with the highest combat power in Shuzhi Shrine, prepared to fight! The other members watched the battle as usual.
However, Fu Yang had long discovered that there was an ordinary person without any aura of magic power standing among the group of shrine disciples. His eyes widened, he rubbed his hands, and he looked extremely excited!
That's right, Fu Yang recognized it, that guy was indeed Oda, the author of "One Piece"!
Although he is not a die-hard Japanese comic fan, he often discussed various pirates, Naruto, etc. with his classmates in high school. He had seen the author's appearance in magazines and on the Internet.
If it had been seven or eight years ago, he would have been so excited when he met the author of "One Piece" that he would have gone up to shake hands and ask for an autograph. But now, it was completely different! It was Oda who looked at him and Okayama with envy and admiration in the crowd.
King Qing's battle...
In fact, Fu Yang and the others were right!
Oda's distant cousin is a cultivator at the Tree Shrine. He is very powerful and has a high status. Sometimes he will tell Oda some things about the cultivation world. When he was young, Oda had an idea and taught the tree to him.
The members of the shrine made up some of their own ways of obtaining mana and created the Devil Fruit in "One Piece".
Unexpectedly, the comic became a big hit...
Occasionally, Oda would come to the Tree Shrine through the relationship with his distant cousin to learn about the mysterious world of cultivation. Unfortunately, he himself had long been judged by his cousin as having no talent for cultivation, otherwise he would rather not be a cartoonist than devour those
The fruit of the sacred tree gains mana!
Back to business.
But it was said that Fu Yang and Okayama Haruou had already taken action!
I saw that Haruo Okayama was six feet tall, tall and strong, with muscles all over his body as jagged as rocks. He clenched his fists with both hands and rushed forward. Suddenly, khaki mist condensed in the void, turning into two huge fists that were almost like hills.
It was the same size and hit Fu Yang directly.
oh?
Fu Yang was stunned for a moment, then smiled: "The power of earth attribute?"
"That's right! What I ate is a rare fruit of earth, and I have the power to control the element of earth. As long as I stand on the earth, I am invincible. And my enemies will fall into a terrifying struggle.
"
Okayama Haruo seems very confident in his own strength!
And Fu Yang also discovered that the normally normal ground beneath his feet had turned into something like swamp mud. His legs were firmly stuck to his knees, making it difficult for him to move.
This seemingly soft mud is incredibly sticky.
In front of me, two fists of dirt like hills were coming towards me!
hehe……
A sneer appeared on the corner of Okayama Haruou's mouth: "I said that as long as I stand on the earth, I am almost invincible in the same realm. Because the earth and I are one. The soil I cast is several times harder than steel alloy.
Times. It’s impossible for you to..."
Before I finished speaking, I heard two deafening loud bangs! It was also accompanied by a metallic buzzing, twisting and creaking sound.
The people watching the battle from a distance all covered their ears. Oda, a cartoonist who is just an ordinary person, felt as if someone had hit his ear with a sledgehammer. His ears were buzzing, stars were shooting out of his eyes, and his nose was bleeding.
He came out...very embarrassed and pitiful.
It's Fu Yang!
Although he stood still, he just raised his hand, covered with black scales and surrounded by the power of black ghosts, and easily punched two fists that were like mountains and smashed them into pieces.
It is also because the "soil" condensed by Okayama Haruo is harder than steel alloy, so when he was crushed by Fu Yang's two fists, there was such a loud sound mixed with a sharp sound that stung the eardrums. It gave many people headaches and dizziness.
