After more than ten days, the eggs that Lu Cheng put into the incubator began to break. A total of 23 bird eggs were put in, and 15 eggs hatched, of which 8 failed to hatch for unknown reasons.
According to Lu Cheng's guess, it was possible that the animal blood had adverse effects on the bird eggs; it was also possible that there was something wrong with the eggs themselves, perhaps "white eggs" that were not fertilized. Parrot eggs, like chicken eggs, may produce "white eggs" if there is no male and female pairing.
Lu Cheng didn't want to take care of the baby birds, so he found a man who specialized in playing with macaws from the flower, bird, fish and insect market, and wanted to entrust him with 15 baby birds to take care of.
The man's name is "Zhang Dazhi". He is a retired employee in his sixties and has more than ten years of experience in raising birds.
Lu Cheng said: "Please help me take care of you for half a year, and I will give you 30,000 yuan every month, okay?"
Zhang Dazhi thought it was a good deal, so he readily agreed.
Lu Cheng didn't mean to just leave the birds to others and leave them alone. He planned to visit them once a month and feed the young birds some elixirs. After half a year, he would select the best ones and take them home, and the rest would be taken home. The birds were either sold or simply released.
On June 25, at midnight, he traveled to another world again.
When I opened my eyes, I didn't see Qingmei.
Lu Cheng looked out the window and found that it was still bright outside. He walked to the door and looked up at the sky, and found that the sun was above his head, and it happened to be noon.
Every time his soul landed in another world, the time it appeared was uncertain. Although it was mostly at night, sometimes it was also during the day.
His spirit is getting stronger and stronger, and as soon as he appears, he will completely suppress "Bai Kuang's" spirit, leaving no room for resistance.
He is a fellow martial arts practitioner, while "Wu Kuang" is only a martial arts practitioner, and the gap between their souls is getting wider and wider.
If one day, Lu Cheng can achieve the legendary "distraction", he can completely control this body and even erase the soul of "Baikang".
"Baikang" is not a fool. In order to survive, he is secretly practicing "Giant Spirit Fist". It is said that if you practice "Giant Spirit Fist" to the extreme, you can become a "Martial King", break mountains and rivers with one palm, and fight against "Witch Spirits" falling from the sky. For "Baikang", Lu Cheng's soul is equivalent to the "witch spirit" who comes and goes without a trace.
This is a world of cultivation. It is said that spirit witches and celestial witches can remain immortal after death. If the opportunity is right, they can also seize other people's bodies. However, this kind of seizure has a certain period of time, which usually does not exceed a hundred years. Therefore, "Baikang" did not completely lose confidence.
Lu Cheng basked in the sun for a while in the yard, and within half an hour, Qingmei came back.
Qingmei is already a third-level spirit witch. She has also learned the art of qi reading. When she saw Lu Cheng's qi movement changed, she smiled sweetly and said, "Brother, are you back?"
Lu Cheng said "hmm" and said, "Is there any news?"
Qingmei said: "There is a piece of news that may be of some value. To the north of Siyou City, there is a large lake. It is said that there is an altar at the bottom of the lake, and the secret of the god Siyou is buried."
"What kind of secret?"
"It is said that Siyou's son is named Sishi and his daughter is named Sinu. They do not marry, but they can reproduce."
Lu Cheng was stunned and thought to himself: "What kind of magical magic is this? Can it achieve asexual reproduction?"
In fact, the ancients have discussed this issue.
"Liezi·Tianrui" says: "Thinking of a scholar makes you fall in love without his wife; thinking of a daughter without her husband makes you pregnant."
Guo Pu, a scholar of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, said in his annotation of "The Classic of Mountains and Seas": "He thinks directly, feels and Qi is clear, and gives birth to children without cooperation. This is what Zhuang Sheng said is like white swans looking at each other, and their eyes are not lucky and feel the weather."
Qingmei said: "It is said that the lake in the north of the city is so deep that ordinary monks dare not go down. Brother, do you want to go and have a look?"
Lu Cheng said: "Then let's take a look. You come with me."
"Brother, I can't dive."
"It doesn't matter, I have the Biyi Pearl. You go call Yingchu and the others and ask them to pack up and prepare to go on the road."
In less than a quarter of an hour, Yingchu and the other two men had packed up.
Lu Cheng led them slowly out of Siyou City and walked twenty or thirty miles to the north. They saw rolling mountains, surrounded by peaks, and a lake with a diameter of more than ten miles. There are several people catching fish by the lake. The lake is quiet and quiet, and you can't see the bottom.
Qingmei was a little worried and said, "Is there a powerful monster hiding in the water?"
Lu Cheng squinted his eyes and looked at the water, vaguely seeing a vast aura, but not seeing the aura belonging to humans and animals.
He ordered Yu Yingchu and others: "You guys stay guard by the lake."
Yingchu nodded in agreement: "Yes."
Lu Cheng walked slowly around the lake. Seeing the sun turning west and the fishermen leaving, he took out two fist-sized Bixi beads, gave one to Qingmei, and held the other in his hand. inside.
He stepped into the lake water and dived underwater.
Qingmei followed behind him, following his example, holding the Bixi Pearl in her hand.
The Bixi beads formed huge blisters, enveloping them inside. Through the bubbles, you can see the swimming fish outside escaping in all directions.
Bixi Pearl comes with Wia, which can make low-level water monsters retreat.
There is also a "Spirit Witch Jade Card" hanging around Lu Cheng's neck, which can make mid-to-high-level monsters with spiritual intelligence avoid him.
Therefore, they were not attacked by the monsters and sank little by little into the depths of the lake.
This lake is indeed very deep because it is surrounded by mountains. The bottom of the lake is as deep as a hundred meters. The huge water pressure compressed part of the bubbles formed by the Bixi beads. Fortunately, it did not cause them any trouble.
There is a transparent barrier at the bottom of the lake, just like the bubbles formed by Bixi beads, but it is so large that the end cannot be seen at a glance.
Lu Cheng stopped and thought for a moment, took out the golden dagger, and swung it forward, causing the barrier to crack.
He pulled open the barrier and got in, then pulled Qingmei in with his hand.
After a while, the barrier automatically restored itself, and a little of the lake water that poured in went to who knows where.
Looking around, the front is not an altar, but a palace.
The palace is majestic, with cornices and horns, about ten feet high, and a vermilion door with a plaque above it inscribed with three runes of "Si You Palace".
There are two stone piles outside the palace. The stone pile on the left is connected to an iron chain as thick as an arm. There is a dragon bone dozens of feet long at the end of the iron chain. The stone pile on the right has a broken iron chain. I don’t know what kind of monster it is. , it seems that he has escaped long ago.
In front of the palace, directly opposite the gate, a few feet away, there is a circular flower bed with a tree in the flower bed.
What surprised Lu Cheng was that the tree was still alive, with red flowers blooming, just like albizia flowers, with threads pointing upward, dazzling red and dazzling!
Lu Cheng took a closer look and saw that it was not an acacia tree. It was shaped like a tree paper tree, but it had black texture. Its texture did not grow randomly, but looked like natural runes.
He stared at the runes on the tree trunk carefully and discovered to his surprise that all the runes were just two words: "MIXU"!
Lu Cheng was suddenly shocked: "Ah, is this the legendary Mysterious Tree?"
Qingmei asked: "Brother, what is the mist tree?"
"The Mystery Tree is one of the ten sacred trees! As long as a person wears the Mystery Flower, he will not lose his way. With it, combined with the leaves of the Fuso tree and the Three Pearls tree, you can refine the Tongtian Pill! "
"So, this tree is a treasure?"
"That's natural. Legend has it that in ancient times, sacred trees were everywhere. Nowadays, sacred trees are very rare. They are all controlled by the Witch King and the Witch Emperor, and there are very few left outside."
For Lu Cheng, this Mysterious Tree has another meaning. If the collision between the Capital 118 Galaxy and the Solar System represents the opening of a fairy road, then the Mysterious Flower may guide him in the way forward. In other words, no matter which world he goes to, there is always hope to find a way home!
"Brother, do you want to pick all these flowers?"
"Wait a minute, let's go into the palace and take a look."
