Chapter 121 Compensation
Chapter 121 Compensation
In a flash, the two of them arrived at the foot of a mountain. Shen Qing overcame the dizziness of space travel and saw a large area of bright red dead roses on the mountain at a glance.
The dead rose moves with the wind, adding a touch of enchanting beauty under the moonlight.
"Didn't they say that all the dead roses in Ruyang had been eradicated? Why is there still a large patch?" Shen Qing asked.
"This is the jurisdiction of the Yinglong Sect. They also have the temporarily harmless dead rose flowers." Wan Ji walked up along the mountain path.
Shen Qing followed behind him, "Liu Shu said that only the dead worms that are parasitized by insect eggs will become aggressive. Now as long as people don't accidentally eat the dead worm seeds, then they are safe."
Walking in front of the dead rose flower, Shen Qing gently touched the gorgeous red flower with her hand. The dead rose swayed gently along with her movements, so beautiful that it was captivating.
Wanji observed the surroundings and found nothing special, so he simply squatted down and dug a few pieces of soil from Wangmi's feet.
Maybe there is something else going on in this mud?
Shen Qing also released her pure wood spiritual power, covering the entire sea of dead rose flowers. She slowly closed her eyes and sensed the plants on this land.
In addition to the dead petal, there are several other plants growing in it.
Shen Qing opened his eyes and began to look for those plants. After finding them, Shen Qing was a little surprised. These were not spiritual plants, but ordinary plants.
It can be said to be a very ordinary grass, but the dead osmanthus did not grow where these grasses grew.
"Master, come and take a look." Shen Qing waved his hand and called Master over.
"But did you discover anything?"
"There are several kinds of plants appearing near this dead rose flower, they are wild garlic and Sichuan pepper seedlings." Speaking of this, Shen Qing even wanted to pick some wild garlic to stir-fry with meat.
The wild garlic here grows thick and fine, making people want to pick it when they see it.
"Wild garlic?" Wan Ji had never seen it before. He squatted down and took a few looks at it. He seemed to find it somewhat familiar, so he pinched some tender leaves and put them in his mouth.
Mm, it tastes quite strong.
"Is this a wild vegetable from the mortal world? It's a bit spicy."
"It is said that many insects cannot tolerate the taste of wild garlic. The same is true for Sichuan peppercorns. Could it be that their presence prevented the dead plant from being parasitized by insect eggs?"
Shen Qing proposed a conjecture, but he couldn't believe it. After all, these were just ordinary wild garlic and peppercorns! They didn't even have spiritual power, could they restrain those insect eggs?
"Maybe I'm overthinking it..."
"That's not necessarily true." Wan Ji didn't think so. "The elders of the Spiritual Plant Garden have discovered that some spiritual plants need to be grown together with some wild grasses in order to have a high yield. Although these are ordinary grasses, who knows if they won't play a different role for the dead rose flower?"
"Then Master, how about we go and have a look at other dead rose flowers?"
Wan Ji nodded, "Indeed, let's go to a few more places to have a look. As for this flower..."
Wan Ji's hands flew up and down, and the dead milia flower was pulled out by the roots and burned to ashes.
"It's better to deal with it just in case."
Although the willow tree said that only the seeds of the dead osmanthus plant would be parasitized, who knows whether the dead osmanthus flowers would be parasitized again after they grow up?
For safety's sake, it's better to get rid of it.
At night, Shen Qing and Wan Ji ran to several places in a row. Each flower field had its own characteristics, and they never encountered a situation like the first dead milia flower field.
Shen Qing stuffed a few blades of grass into his storage bag. "Some of them have wild garlic and pepper growing near the dead mi, some just have weeds, some have been burned by fire, and some are by the river... There are all kinds of situations, and there is nothing in common."
Shen Qing burned the dead rose next to him, feeling a little discouraged. What was going on? Why was there no correlation at all?
"Ahhhhh! Flowers!" a scream rang out.
When Shen Qing and Wan Ji heard the noise of someone coming, they both concealed their breath at the same time.
The person who came was a little girl. She held a torch to illuminate the area and shouted loudly, as if she had seen something incredible.
Soon the villagers who heard her shouting came over. "Trinity, why are you shouting so loudly? Did you encounter a wild boar?"
Cui Ni was about to cry, "Third Grandpa, the flowers are gone. Someone burned them..."
"Ouch..." Only then did Mr. Chen San see the bare land behind Cui Ni. The land that was originally covered with red flowers was now only charcoal ash.
"Oh my God! Who is such a heartless person who did this? This big red flower can be sold for money. Who can't see that our village is doing well?" Uncle Chen was heartbroken.
Since the red flowers grew on this mountain, they made a small profit from them. Who would have thought that these flowers would be burned in the middle of the night? This is just a loss of income.
"Who is this person? How could he do such a thing?"
Cui Ni was also very sad. She had sold a lot of flowers in the past few days, but who would have thought that the flowers would be burned for no reason.
Shen Qing and Wan Ji, who were hiding in the dark, looked at each other awkwardly.
Oh no, something bad has happened.
"Should we compensate them for their losses?" Shen Qing winked.
"Of course." Wan Ji returned a look.
Shen Qing took out a spirit stone from his sleeve and placed it silently on the land where the dead rose flower originally grew.
Then he inadvertently drew the attention of Trini and the others to the stone that was emitting spiritual light.
"Cui Ni, is this the spirit stone?" Uncle Chen picked up the spirit stone, wiped off the dust on his coarse linen clothes, and then squinted his eyes and looked at it towards the firelight.
Cui Ni's eyes were filled with this unique stone. She swallowed her saliva quietly. No way, they actually picked up this spiritual stone used by monks.
How much silver can this spiritual stone be exchanged for?
"Cui Ni, this is a spirit stone, right? I feel a little better holding it." Mr. Chen San said exaggeratedly, his face full of wrinkles from smiling, showing how happy he was.
Cui Ni smiled with her eyes curved. "Yes, Third Grandpa. This is a spiritual stone. I have seen monks use spiritual stones to buy things. It looks like this, right?"
"Okay, okay!" Hearing Cui Ni's affirmative answer, Mr. Chen smiled even more happily, and his old face turned red with excitement.
"With this spiritual stone, we don't need to sell flowers anymore. Let's exchange it for silver, and then we can renovate the house and find a live-in son-in-law for Cui Ni."
Cui Ni pinched the corner of her clothes shyly, "Third Grandpa, what are you talking about? I'm still young."
"Tui Ni is still young, but Third Grandpa is old. With this money, I can find a husband for you so that you can be taken care of. When I pass away, I can also give an explanation to your parents."
Uncle Chen looked at the young girl lovingly. He was old and didn't have much time left, but Cui Ni was still young, so he had to prepare for Cui Ni's future.
I picked up this spiritual stone at the right time. With the money, life will be easier.
