It seems that the thing in front of him is really weird. Not only did Ji Yuan not bring it with him, even Xiezhi finally found it hard to swallow.
To Ji Yuan, the peach tree that he saw with his Dharma Eye was no longer a tree at all. Instead, it was more like a mass of dirty, rotten mud. It was truly unbearable. He also understood that there was no longer any life in the peach tree. Although he understood that this tree was definitely extraordinary when it was alive, he didn't want to see it even for a moment now.
After thinking for a while, Ji Yuan asked Wang Youhong.
"What else can you do with this peach tree?"
Wang Youhong quickly waved her hand in response.
"It's useless. You can do whatever you want with it, sir."
"Well, you'd better not be of any other use."
It would be wrong to say that this peach tree is really useless, but the place where it can be used is definitely not a good place. Even if he wants to fight evil with evil, Ji Yuan has this little bit of foundation. Without saying much, after he finished speaking, Ji Yuan opened his mouth and a cluster of Samadhi True Fire came out.
Wow…
As soon as the terrifying red-gray flames touched the rotten peach tree, they ignited it instantly. The raging fire rose three feet high, but the perceived temperature around was not very high. However, Wang Youhong subconsciously took several steps back. This was not just any wildfire. Even a little bit of it would have serious consequences.
However, this peach tree, which had no other function than being disgusting, could last longer under the Samadhi True Fire than Ji Yuan and others had imagined.
In the past, the Samadhi True Fire was always effective. In most cases, it could burn everything that Ji Yuan wanted to burn in an instant. However, this peach tree had long since withered and decayed, with no soul left at all. However, it persisted for a long time under the burning of the Samadhi True Fire, almost half a quarter of an hour before it finally turned into ashes.
After burning out, a pile of tree-shaped ashes remained in the yard, and it did not collapse into pieces with the wind as usual.
In the middle of the burning of the Samadhi True Fire, Ji Yuan and Xiezhi had already stood up and walked to the edge of the tree-shaped powder. Ji Yuan frowned, and Xiezhi had a playful expression.
"Hehehehe, this is quite interesting. It's even more unusual than I thought. This is the first time I've seen a dead object last so long under your Samadhi True Fire."
Ji Yuan turned his head and looked at Xiezhi, who then slapped his head and added a sentence.
"Well, it seems that I haven't seen any living creatures, but this tree, when it was alive, should have been close to a spiritual root? Oh? What a pity..."
"What? Uncle Xiezhi, don't you know what kind of peach this is?"
Xiezhi was a little puzzled.
"Thinking back then, the world was so vast, much more than it is now, and there were countless unknown things. How could I possibly know everything? Do you know?"
Ji Yuan deliberately imitated the tone of voice used by Xiezhi just now and laughed "hehe".
"Maybe it's the peaches."
Zao Niang on the side also walked to the side of the ashes, glanced at Wang Youhong who was looking at her stiffly, then squatted down and gently picked up the ashes with her hands.
"Sir, can you give me this dust?"
Ji Yuan walked closer to Zao Niang, squatted down and grabbed a handful of ashes. After being burned by the Samadhi True Fire, the stench was gone. Instead, there was a faint charcoal fragrance.
"What do you use it for?"
Hearing Ji Yuan's words, Zao Niang smiled brilliantly.
"As the saying goes, the ashes from the fire give rise to new life? I want to scatter them under the date tree."
Ji Yuan's heart moved and he nodded in answer.
"I don't have any objection."
As he spoke, Ji Yuan looked at Wang Youhong, and Zao Niang then looked at the latter.
"Is your surname Wang?"
Being stared at by Zao Niang? Wang Youhong didn't know why her face suddenly turned red. She looked at the latter in a daze, and nodded hesitantly in her answers.
"Yes, it is."
"I see you are also a plant spirit? Your cultivation level is much higher than mine? This ash..."
Wang Youhong spoke immediately.
"If you want them, take them all. Besides this one, there are many more in other places. I'll send them all to you when I have the chance, and have Mr. Ji burn them for you..."
"Thank you very much."
Wow, Ji Yuan didn't expect Zao Niang to be so powerful. She immediately bewitched Wang Youhong and made the latter obedient. In comparison, it didn't matter that he might become a "fireman".
After obtaining the consent of Ji Yuan and Wang Youhong, Zao Niang no longer needed to ask anyone else. She swept the air with her backhand, creating a gentle breeze that blew the tree-shaped pile of ashes on the ground to the jujube tree on the side, and soon spread the ashes evenly around the roots of the jujube tree.
Moreover, this layer of black ash floated on the ground under the tree for a short time, and its color became almost the same as the original land, and it no longer raised dust due to the wind.
Although no special changes could be seen, Xiezhi's eyes had narrowed. He turned to look at Ji Yuan, but he didn't seem to have any special expression. He just returned to the table and looked at the sword book that he had just finished writing not long ago.
However, the voices of Hu Yun and the little characters in the yard began to get excited again.
"What? This Wang is actually a woman?" "That's not right. How can he be a woman? He must be a man."
"I think so." "Yes, yes, whether it's a boy or a girl, can it be hidden from that bull?"
"That makes sense. Hey, Mr. Wang, are you a man or a woman?"
"Wang, please speak!"
The little characters flew over and surrounded Wang Youhong. The latter did not dare to get angry with these character spirits and looked very embarrassed. It was Zao Niang who came over to drive the little characters away, pulled Wang Youhong closer to the stone table, and gave her a handful of dates.
Wang Youhong seemed extremely excited holding the dates in her hand. Although the dates had spiritual charm to others, they were more delicious. To her, they had more meaning and function. She just carefully took one of them to take a small bite to taste it, but with a glance, she saw that the red fox half lying under the tree threw a whole date into her mouth, chewed it for a while, and then spit out a date pit, and then threw in another one, just like eating candy beans.
"If you are not in a hurry to leave, just sit down, Zao Niang, make another pot of new tea and pour a cup of tea for her and Hu Yun."
"Um."
Zao Niang responded and walked towards the kitchen carrying the tea set on the table. Wang Youhong hurried over to help.
Originally, Wang Youhong was looking forward to leaving after putting down the withered peach tree, and didn't want to stay with Ji Yuan any longer. But it was different after seeing Zao Niang. She was worried that Ji Yuan would drive her away, and since she could stay for a while longer, she didn't care about anything else and wanted to get closer to Zao Niang.
Outside the house in the courtyard, Ji Yuan's gaze swept from the "Sword Book" he had just written to Hu Yun, who was lying comfortably and chatting with the little characters.
"Hu Yun, who gave Zao Niang the copy of 'White Deer Shame' in her hand?"
"Gu... cough cough cough..."
Hu Yun swallowed the date pit he was sucking in his mouth and quickly stood up and waved his hand.
"Mr. Ji, that's none of my business. Last year, Sun Yaya went back to Ning'an County to spend the New Year with her family. She also went to the temple fair with Zao Niang. When she came back, she brought a box of books, and it seemed that there was a similar book in it."
What kind of book Mr. Ji was talking about? Hu Yun had studied with Yin Qing, so of course he knew it. He didn't dare to take the blame.
"Sir, I reminded Zao Niang that the book was immoral, but Zao Niang just said she knew it. I don't know when this book White Deer appeared..."
Isn't this the first one
Ji Yuan was quite helpless, but after thinking about it carefully, he felt it was difficult to say anything. He remembered that he had also read some pornographic books in his previous life. In comparison, what Zao Niang read was, according to the standards of her previous life, at most, relatively explicit romance novels.
Perhaps it was because of the influence of today's ethics, Ji Yuan thought about it and said nothing more. Apart from the obsession with good and evil, he had nothing else to preach. Moreover, Zao Niang had also listened to the books of sages in the Ju'an Pavilion for many years...
"Forget it, it's just reading for fun."
Ji Yuan picked up the white paper with "Sword Book" written on it on the table, stretched out his hand and summoned a branch from the jujube tree, and gently stroked it to turn it into two smooth wooden poles, which he placed on the two ends of the white paper and a little behind the rolled paper. The ends of the paper were tightly combined with the wooden poles, and "Sword Book" was simply framed.
The Sword Book was hung on the tree. Although there was wind in the yard, the book was motionless like a piece of heavy iron. Gradually, the small characters on the Sword Intent Post gathered around and looked at the Sword Book carefully.
Even the Qingteng Sword behind Ji Yuan flew to the front of the "Sword Book" and hovered quietly.
"You have been comprehending the art of formation for a long time. From today on, use your playful energy to comprehend a set of sword formations and see if you can integrate the master's swordsmanship into them. Whoever does well will be praised by the master!"
Ji Yuan coaxed him like he was coaxing a child, and the little ones became extremely excited, clamoring to be the first to be praised.
Then Ji Yuan made a move and the Qingteng Sword flew into his hand.
He gently brushed the sword and the green vines on it, speaking in a soft voice.
"You also accompany them. If you are the center of the formation in the future, the sword formation will surely shine brightly!"
Buzz…
The Qingteng Sword vibrated slightly, and the sword intent became stronger, and there seemed to be a phantom looming.
