A genius girl with her own space
Chapter 345 Lightning Strikes Wood
When she rescued Aunt Yun, even though she didn't say anything, she knew she was Jiang Ziying's mother. She respected her very much. Some of her past life memories came back, perhaps because she hadn't drunk Mengpo soup.
"Uncle Hu, thank you. I remember some things. I understand. From now on, I will be kind to different people. I once said that kindness should be limited. Those who take advantage of you and play tricks on you should be excluded." Qiqi said.
They flew over the lake and saw fish, but they didn't stop. They soon arrived at a lush forest. Several thousand-year-old trees were still lush, but beneath them were large hollows large enough for animals to hide, sheltering from the elements. They could also make their homes there.
Qiqi felt sorry for the ancient trees. Several had been struck by lightning, cut in half, without even a chance to sprout. She also saw two trees nestled close together. One was still growing, but not lushly. The other had been struck dead by lightning. Its trunk was still black, hollowed out in the middle.
These two trees must have grown up together as childhood sweethearts. Were they lovers? The tree that was struck was willing to draw the lightning onto itself in order to protect the other tree, thus saving its lover.
The tree that was chopped to death, does it know that the other living tree is enduring the pain of missing it every day? It would be better for them to be chopped to death together so that they can have a companion on the road to the underworld.
Death is painless and one knows nothing. But the living burst into tears the moment they think of their loved ones. One thing, one action can bring back memories of their deceased loved ones.
Aren't we the living now also living through the passage of generations? This is the cycle of life and death. Die here, perhaps be reborn somewhere else. Most people have no memory of their past lives. This place feels familiar. Have you been there before? No, but there's an impression.
Maybe I have been here in my previous life or previous life, but I don’t remember anything after drinking Meng Po soup.
One begets two, two begets three, and three begets all things. Reincarnation continues, and now there are more cats and dogs in the world, some of which can perform many maneuvers. The birth rate has also decreased. Some people enter the underworld and have to wait in line to be reborn, not knowing when their turn will come. Unable to bear the loneliness, they are reborn as animals. Many small animals today have developed intelligence. This is likely due to humans reborn as animals.
Qiqi thought about the situation in the modern world. Isn't it just like this? If I were to return to the present and die, would I be able to reincarnate? It's all unknown.
She was thinking about her modern parents, hoping they were still healthy and waiting for her. She hoped she could find a way to go back and see them. Or maybe she would wait until she was strong enough to travel through these dimensions effortlessly, then she could go back and see them.
Qiqi clenched her hands, cultivating diligently. Now an immortal, she could live for hundreds or even thousands of years. This gave her a chance. What if she became a god? An immortal god? What would happen? Could she return to the modern era? Right now, she didn't even know where she was. This was ancient Earth, a time when demons and monsters roamed rampant.
"Qiqi, Qiqi. What are you thinking about? I've called you several times. What's wrong with you?" Zhou Jingze called out while holding Qiqi's hand.
She woke up instantly. She was lost in thought and her mind wandered.
"Brother Jingze, I'm fine. I'm just thinking about the past. Let's take a walk and look at these ancient trees."
The three of them walked forward until they came to an ancient tree that was so large that several people couldn't even hug it. The tree was still stubbornly alive, with only a few branches and leaves growing above its crown. They were so few that they could be counted easily.
Qiqi was moved by the tree's tenacious spirit. She took out a few bottles of spiritual spring water and poured it at the tree's roots. Soon, many new buds sprouted from the tree.
The old tree happily shook its trunk to express its gratitude. In an instant, the old tree transformed into an old man with green hair, some green and some white. He was leaning on a crutch, looking very funny.
"Thank you for your help, young lady. If it weren't for the bottles of spiritual spring water you gave me, I would have disappeared from this world in a few years." said the old man.
"Uncle Ancient Tree, how come you look like this now? This place is close to the lake and can absorb the water from it. The land here also looks fertile. The conditions here are very suitable for your growth!" Qiqi said.
"Girl, you don't know this, this is a realm of ice and fire. Many animals are affected by the climate here, some have lost their minds and often fight. Whenever they fight, we trees suffer. We big trees are better off. The saplings and grass are all burned clean. They come like this every few years. I gradually became like this. When my magic power was high, I could protect other green plants, but now I can't even protect myself.
This year, a war might break out among the animals. It's too dangerous here, so go back. Don't lose your lives here."
"Uncle Gushu, why are you alone here? Can't they transform into humans? Is there anything I can help you with?" Zhou Jingze asked.
"They seem to be growing well, but they are hollow in the middle and cannot be transformed. I would be the same if I didn't have your help." As he said this, the old man took out a book from his arms.
"This is a book on earth escape techniques, perhaps it will be helpful to you. I'm giving it to you. Hurry and leave. Further in, it's very hot, and there are many birds living there. The fruits of our trees have all been eaten by these birds, so we have very few offspring. They also burn the beasts to death and drag them back to eat. It's very hot here now, and plants are growing slowly. They also know that they can't eat all the vegetation. They leave some behind for us to grow. That's why we hunt beasts when there's no food.
"They hunted the beasts, and the beasts hunted them, eating the flesh of the birds, which gave them a huge energy boost. Every time they started a war, it was the birds that provoked it, and we were dragged into it, even burning many of our large trees. Few of our descendants survived by chance," the old man said bitterly.
"Old man, have you ever thought about leaving here? Why don't you leave when you can all transform into humans?" Qiqi asked.
"If we trees were to run around in the world, we would have been eaten by others long ago. We are tree spirits, a great tonic for the people in the fairy world. I'm not afraid of you knowing, but I know you are good people, otherwise you wouldn't give me the spiritual spring water."
Qiqi looked at the old man and took the book from him. "Thank you for the book, old man. It will be of great help to us."
She took out a few more elixirs and gave them to Uncle Gu Shu. "Please take these and see if they help you."
The old man of the ancient tree was very grateful. He took out a piece of lightning-struck wood from his arms and gave it to them.
Qiqi doesn’t recognize it, but Uncle Hu does. It’s lightning-struck wood.
