Chapter 436, Dhara Mu
Professor Du is an expert in supernatural research in Beijing, focusing on Chinese supernatural flora and fauna, of course, his research seems to be useless, but in fact, he is secretly supported by many wealthy families and dignitaries.
Because, the only thing that these rich and powerful people can't control is their own lifespan, and everyone hopes to extend their lifespan through some special means. In ancient times, there was Qin Shi Huang, Tang Taizong alchemy pill for self-protection, and now there are high-ranking officials and nobles who pay money for longevity. It's all guys who don't want to die.
However, the results of research are still very limited, after all, birth, old age, sickness and death are days, except for a few treasures that can delay the speed of aging, there is almost no way to do it.
However, the young professor was still very enthusiastic, and he was good-looking, with small eyes, a delicate face, and he was very quiet as soon as he entered the working state.
When he saw the black sawdust I had brought, he immediately had an incredible expression on his face. Then, he entered the studio with sawdust and began to inspect it with several assistants.
And when Heidan and I were bored, we also started to visit his research institute.
There are a lot of specimens on display in the institute, many specimens even I have not seen ◇ There is a white herb on the side, slender and long, there are some forks at the tip, exuding a trace of chill, this is a unique frost grass in Tibet, with a strong cold, it is said that ordinary people's fingers will be frozen instantly as soon as they touch it, but now there are fewer and fewer of them, and the market price is at least 50W.
Then I turned my gaze to the right, a small black old mousebook, the black egg glanced at it and said in surprise: "Damn, this is the black jade rat, living near the original Chang'an, very fond of burrowing the ground, feeding on the fruits of plants, but it is special in that as they grow up, some stones similar to black jade will fall from their bodies, these stones are very beautiful, and they are priceless." However, because it is too rare, it is too much to be killed and extinct, and it has long been extinct, but I didn't expect to see specimens here. ”
Black Egg and I are like Grandma Liu who has entered the Grand View Garden, watching it non-stop, and our mouths are even more amazed.
After we had walked around the institute, it had been a full three hours, and Professor Du's examination had ended, and the first thing he said when he saw us was, "This is the Dhara Wood, the only creature that can survive in the underworld." ”
There should be no living beings in the underworld, this is not only a common understanding, but also a truth. In the underworld, even those of us who are spiritually aware need to breathe with the help of something like a respirator or some special plant.
However, when I visited the professor in Beijing with sawdust, I got a very surprising fact. These plants I brought are full of cellular activity, even if these fragments look dilapidated, but there are still active cell tissues in them, in short, the wooden door that the black egg shredded, it is a living thing!
And this cargo is Dhara wood!
I have heard of this plant for a long time, not because I know that Dhara wood is a plant that can survive in the underworld, but because Dhara wood is the material used to make the Nai He Bridge!
Nai He Bridge, is a bridge through the Yellow Spring River, leading to Meng Po where the reincarnated ghost crosses the Nai He Bridge, you can reach the front of Meng Po, drink Meng Po soup, forget the past, you can enter the six reincarnations.
However, this Nai Ho Bridge is not so simple, it is said that it is full of terrifying things, swords, mountains and fires, can be seen on it, if the Yin wants to be successfully reincarnated, it is also a huge challenge to walk across this Nai Ho Bridge!
And the one who made this bridge was Dhara wood, a kind of pitch-black wood! However, I did not know that the dhara tree could grow in the underworld.
"This plant has a very strange peculiarity, they feed on ghosts, and after devouring them, they convert their souls into nutrients to absorb. You don't need sunlight, but you need water. Of course, this water is the Yellow Spring Water, and the root system of the Dhara wood is very well developed and intertwined, but it will eventually reach into the Yellow Spring Water, absorbing the water and devouring the ghosts. But now in the underworld, this kind of plant is rarely seen, but I didn't expect to see this amazing plant with my own eyes. ”
As soon as Professor Du said this, Hei Dan and I glanced at each other. It gradually became clear to me that the shadowless old mansion, the gate of the dhara wood, the countless ghosts in the house, especially the dark tree in the backyard, it was obvious that the answer had gradually unfolded in my heart.
If the ancient mansion was indeed using the underworld to hide its traces, as I thought, it needed a passage that could quickly sink under the ground. This would be very difficult, but if the ancient house itself was made from the branches of an oversized dhara tree, then as long as the dhara wood was controlled, it would be able to reach the yang world or enter the underworld smoothly!
Now, I know why this old mansion is so elusive.
However, there are still many doubts, such as who is the terrifying existence hidden deep in the house? And why are these ghosts all controlled, but the male ghosts are not?
Also, who killed the female colleague of the fifth group of the national brand and took the photo, and the last one is why Li Tian said that there is a ghost who can grow up with her, and the ghost is a soul, how can it grow like a person?
Obviously, these answers can't be solved now, but at least I already have a way to find the ancient mansion in my heart! That is to go down to the underworld and find the dhara tree.
In the end, I took Professor Du with me and went on the road together. After all, he is an expert when it comes to dealing with plants. However, Professor Du basically didn't have much combat power on his own, so I called Yuhan and asked them to come to Beijing to support me.
However, I saw a text message from an unfamiliar number. It reads: I'm Luo Weili, I'm in Beijing now, are you free? Let's have a cup of coffee.
Actually, I really don't want to go, after all, even if I am ready to separate from Zhao Yuntian, I don't have a good impression of this Luo Weili, to put it nicely, this is called a rival in love.
However, it will take at least more than a day for them to get to Beijing for Deng Yuhan, and during this time, I have nothing to do, so I still went to see him according to the time.
As soon as I entered the café, I saw a handsome man sitting by the window, surrounded by two waitresses, who were talking to him vigorously, but he only replied indifferently and politely.
I walked over and sat across from him, and the two waitresses consciously asked me what I wanted to drink, and then walked away.
"Hello, I'm Luo Weili. Are you Duanmusen? ”
Luo Weili smiled at me in a friendly manner and introduced himself.
"I know."
I dealt with it casually, thinking to myself, didn't this guy ask knowingly? Who else can sit here and have coffee with him!
"It seems that you have a lot of hostility towards me, but you don't have to be like this at all, after all, in terms of feelings, no one is wrong, you are not wrong, I am not wrong, Zhao Yuntian is also ......"
I'm going to go, this thing looks like a chatter, how can such a handsome guy be a chatterbox! I directly waved my hand, interrupted him, and asked, "What the hell are you looking for me?" If it's okay, I'll go. ”
As a result, as soon as I said this, a person came from behind me and patted me lightly on the shoulder, and when I looked up, I saw that it was Zhao Feng! My heart sank suddenly, even he came to me, it seems that there is something wrong here.
"Komori, I asked Weili to ask you out, because if I came forward to ask you, I wouldn't be embarrassed. As a father, though, there are some things I have to say. You've saved my life, and more than once, you've saved my family several times, and you've known each other for 5 years. Actually, I didn't expect that my family would like you. Don't blame me for being straightforward, I actually admire the people in your circle, and I know that you are very famous in this circle, and you will soon become the president. Speaking of which, it's actually our Zhao family that can't afford to climb ......"
I know what Zhao Feng meant, raised his hand, and made a stop gesture.
"I'm sorry, excuse me, Uncle Zhao, I understand what you mean. I have made it very clear to Zhao Yuntian that we are indeed people from two worlds, and I am not worthy of her. Don't worry, I won't be with her, and if it's okay, I'll leave. ”
I stood up and walked out of the café without looking back.
I know that I am very cowardly and out of shape like this, but it is always uncomfortable to hold some things in my heart. Actually, I never asked for a girl to be able to stay with me.
For Zhao Yuntian, maybe this is the best ending between me and her.
Walking out of the café, I turned a corner, and was about to return to the hotel where I was staying, but I didn't expect that after turning into a small alley, I found myself being watched.
One after the other, there were a total of 5 people, and it seemed that they were not coming for the real dragon secret treasure on my body, but for the secret of the ancient house!
"Duanmusen, it's been a long time."
I heard a familiar voice coming, and when I looked up, there was a white-haired old Taoist priest standing opposite, who turned out to be Cheng Yunzi who I had defeated in the inheritance ceremony before!
