Liu Wanzhen originally had a gentle personality, but now she was so anxious. It occurred to her that the Silver Star Fruit Tree was seriously ill. After coming down from Xinyi Ridge and crossing the Ningliu River by ferry, Fu Shiyi had learned the basic situation from Liu Wanzhen's words.
The Silver Star fruit tree is planted in the backyard of Liu Wanzhen's Yunya Pavilion.
"Eleven, you see, the row of Silver Star fruit trees on the left was the first to show red spots. At first, I thought it was just some insignificant insect bites, so I specially cut off the leaves, but within a few days , all the leaves of the silver star trees in the courtyard have red spots without exception."
"Look at these trees, not only the leaves are withered and yellow, but the main trunks of the fruit trees are also withered."
Liu Wanzhen pointed to an empty pit on the left side:
"I was afraid that this was an infectious disease, so I had people dig out the withered fruit trees. I just dug out one, and I happened to receive your messenger charm. You came just in time."
The Silver Star Fruit Tree is a wood spiritual plant.
The greener the leaf color, the better the quality.
Now that there are a lot of red spots on the leaves, it must be some kind of insect disease. Fu Shiyi knelt down and carefully examined several Silver Star fruit trees with red spots on their leaves.
"Eleven, can it be seen that there is some insect disease? In order to cultivate these Silver Star fruit trees, your Thirteenth Uncle and I have used "Guan Ling Jue" to irrigate the fruit trees every day in the past few months according to your instructions. , it didn’t fall for a day, how could such a good person become ill?" Liu Wanzhen felt so distressed that she couldn't breathe when she thought that all her hard work would be wasted.
"Aunt Wanzhen, I have been guarding Lingtian for eight years, and this is the first time I have encountered such a case." Fu Shiyi has not found the origin of the disease yet, so he comforted Liu Wanzhen and said, "I will take a look."
Fu Shiyi said, choosing a leaf that was about to wither due to disease, and seeped his consciousness into it little by little. The situation inside the leaf was like that of a cave that had been hollowed out, with only a thin leaf wall left inside.
Fu Shiyi frowned.
I selected several similar leaves.
Still nothing.
At this time, due to the consumption of her consciousness, a thin layer of sweat began to appear on her forehead, but Fu Shiyi did not intend to give up. After thinking about it, he chose a relatively intact leaf with only one or two red spots. .
Just when she was about to give up, she was surprised to find out.
There are some unknown small insects inside the leaves of Silver Star Fruit, and there are quite a lot of them.
The red spots are apparently caused by these bugs eating away at the leaves.
These bugs are transparent, triangular-shaped and so small that they are almost impossible to spot. If Fu Shiyi's spiritual consciousness wasn't strong enough, and because he had been refining elixirs for the past year, most people wouldn't be able to detect it.
"Eleven, have you found the source of the disease?" Liu Wanzhen felt hopeful when she saw that Fu Shiyi looked better.
"Well, I finally found it." Fu Shi briefly told what he had found, and finally changed the subject: "But this is the first time I have seen this insect. I have to look up the relevant classics to find the solution." Law."
Liu Wanzhen wanted to ask again, but she thought that Fu Shiyi had arrived in a hurry and hadn't even eaten dinner yet, so she smiled coquettishly: "It's good to find the source of the disease. This matter can't be solved in a short while. I've already asked people to prepare it." The food is ready, Eleven, Sanniang, you go wash up and have dinner first."
Fu Shiyi thought for a moment and nodded.
After all, she wasn't hungry, and so was Xiao Qingmu.
The two of them came out of Yunya Pavilion and were on their way to Yunxuan Pavilion.
Seeing that Fu Shiyi's face turned pale, Sanniang said distressedly: "Eleven, you don't cherish yourself too much. They are just a few Silver Star fruit trees. They will die when they die. Why are you so desperate?" If the spiritual consciousness is consumed too much and does bad things, wouldn't it be a small gain but a big gain? Then Liu Wanzhen is also really aware that you have been traveling for a whole day, but she will not let you rest first and drag you to Yunyage as soon as they meet. , there is no way he looks like an elder."
Fu Shiyi knew that Sanniang was doing it for her own good, so he comforted her: "Aunt Wanzhen was just like this out of sheer anxiety. If the fruit trees in that yard were irrigated with spiritual energy every day, with her current power, I'm afraid it would be difficult for them to bloom." After putting so much effort into it, and now it’s like this, anyone else would be anxious.”
The two entered the courtyard.
Fu Shiyi crossed his legs, preparing to recover the energy he had expended. At the same time, he explained to Sanniang, who was making milk powder for Xiao Qingmu: "And maximizing the use of spiritual consciousness will also have a certain effect on the condensation of spiritual consciousness. I There’s something on my mind.”
After Sanniang finished feeding Qingmu, Fu Shiyi also recovered.
Fu Yun, who was waiting outside, knocked on the door and said: "Eleventh Sister, Yun Yage has sent someone over. They say that the food is ready, so you can go and have dinner."
Because the problem of Silver Star fruit trees has not been solved.
Fu Shiyi ate this windy feast absentmindedly, and couldn't help but flip through the information about Lingzhi in his mind. Unfortunately, no relevant records were found in "Qingxi Records", "Anu Records", "Zhongnan Records of Spiritual Insects" and "Zhongnan Records of Spiritual Grasses".
After dinner, everyone was drinking tea in the hall and chatting about recent developments.
Fu Shiyi suddenly stood up from his seat in excitement.
"But I found a way." Liu Wanzhen, who had been paying close attention to Fu Shiyi, smiled when she saw this.
"Well, if I'm not mistaken, the disease that caused the Silver Star Fruit Tree should be a disease called red mite." Fu Shiyi had an idea and found it from the book "On the Self-cultivation of a Spiritual Planter". It clearly records information about red mites:
"The red mite's head, thorax and abdomen are usually a single piece with indistinct segmentation. There are protruding mouthparts at the front of the body and four pairs of legs on the abdomen. They parasitize in the leaves, flowers and fruits of elixir plants and suck the essence of the elixir plants. For survival, small spots appear on the affected leaves, and then the leaves will turn yellow, and in severe cases, the entire plant will dry up.”
The group of people didn't care that it was night, and hurriedly carried lanterns to the backyard.
At night.
The red mites are starting to become active.
Fu Shiyi was shocked to find that even a leaf with only one red spot contained more than a dozen red mites. It was the time when they were eating, and less than half of the nutrients in a leaf were swallowed up by them in the blink of an eye.
After eating, the red mites begin to make peace on the spot.
Tomorrow, densely packed insect eggs will be laid, and within three days, all the nutrients in the leaf, which originally only had a red spot, will be sucked out.
With a thought in Fu Shiyi's mind, the "Golden Needle Art" was running in his body, and then a ray of Geng gold energy appeared on his finger. After attaching his spiritual consciousness to it, he flicked his finger, and the golden light flashed out and disappeared into the silver star. Inside the leaves of a fruit tree.
Through the spiritual consciousness attached to Gengjin Qimang.
Fu Shixi could see more clearly what was going on inside the leaves of the Silver Star Fruit Tree.
In the green space, a group of eight-legged red mites were opening their protruding mouthparts at the front of their bodies to continuously eat the green juice around them.
