Chapter 303: The temple also perished in the war

Shen Sang said something to his father, and then walked towards the woods behind with Huang Niangniang.

In fact, when she was sitting at home, she clearly could no longer feel the dead air from before. Instead, there was a faint aura and vitality, which should be emitted from the ancient tree.

Soon, the man and the animal arrived in front of the ancient pine tree in the center of the forest.

The pine tree did come alive.

Tender green buds are sprouting on those dead branches, and in a few days, a tree full of tender leaves should slowly grow out.

Shen Sang could clearly feel the vitality of the pine tree.

There are obvious buds all over the tree, and it looks full of vitality.

Then Shen Sang noticed an extra voice in his mind.

"Hello."

It turned out to be the voice of a young man, and it sounded neither hurried nor slow, but gentle.

Shen Sang said: "Hello, Gu Song."

Unexpectedly, the voice of the ancient pine tree was still that of a young man, which means that he was almost a young man when he was about to die.

It makes sense. Since this ancient tree has become intelligent and has attained enlightenment, it should be able to practice cultivation.

Maybe you are still young when you are about to die.

Because ancient trees themselves can live for a very, very long time.

Thousands of years possible.

Even in the later Dharma-Ending Age, the ancient trees had no spiritual energy to cultivate and were still in their youth when they were about to die.

So the voice of young people nowadays is also normal.

The ancient tree spoke again.

It has developed intelligence and can communicate with anyone.

"Thank you."

It seemed to have rarely communicated with humans before, and spoke slowly, looking a little uncomfortable.

It often communicates with the weasel that comes to water it with spiritual fluid.

I know that this weasel has also developed intelligence and can speak human language.

An animal and a tree would occasionally communicate with each other.

But the ancient tree didn't have much time to talk.

It is also in the recovery period now.

It would be good enough if I could chat with Huang Niangniang four or five times a day.

Lady Huang also told it who gave the ancient tree the spiritual water. It was its owner, named Shen Sang.

The ancient tree was very smart. When it saw that Lady Huang brought a human with her today, it knew that the human must be Lady Huang’s master.

Shen Sang said: "No need to thank me."

Originally, it was a great opportunity to get this bead. The bead with the spiritual liquid was said to be passed down from the ancestors of the Shen family, but Shen Sang was actually not sure whether it was true.

She found this bead from a small brocade box of her grandfather after her mother became a vegetable. It was nothing special, just like a glass bead. She thought it was pretty, so she found a string to wear it on her body.

Because it was found in my grandfather's brocade box.

So Shen Sang always thought that it was passed down from the Shen family's ancestors.

She asked her mother a few days ago.

The mother had no impression of the bead at all.

Grandpa has also passed away.

Therefore, Shen Sang was not quite sure whether the beads were passed down from the Shen family's ancestors.

But now is the Dharma Ending Age, the spiritual energy is so thin that it is almost non-existent, and all things in the world lack spiritual energy. She is fortunate to have obtained this bead, and if she encounters such an opportunity, she will not stand by and watch someone die.

Gu Shu still said thank you to Shen Sang.

Shen Sang wanted to ask the ancient tree something. She actually had many doubts about the Dharma Ending Age and the Way of Heaven.

Shen Sang asked: "Gu Shu, do you know when the Dharma Ending Age will begin?"

As we enter the Dharma-Ending Age, there is no more spiritual energy, and it becomes much more difficult for all things in the world to develop spiritual intelligence.

The ancient tree pondered for a while before slowly saying, "It seems to be almost a thousand years."

Shen Sang pondered it.

It is similar to the budget of the Taoist, Buddhist and metaphysical masters in the past.

We had almost entered the Dharma Ending Age a thousand years ago.

Although we entered the Dharma Ending Age thousands of years ago, the spiritual energy did not disappear all at once or completely.

Instead, it gradually disappeared, perhaps a hundred years ago, when there was almost no spiritual energy left.

As a result, there are fewer and fewer masters of various types of cultivation.

Even many animals and plants that had developed intelligence gradually disappeared and died.

This is why it is not allowed to become a spirit after the founding of the People's Republic of China.

It’s not that it’s not allowed, but it’s impossible to become a spirit.

The ancient tree and Lady Huang are both spiritual creatures that have been spirits for a long time and have very good cultivation levels. It can be said that they are almost at the stage of cultivating into human form.

Even in the Dharma-Ending Age, they managed to survive for several hundred years.

But until a hundred years ago, there was probably no trace of spiritual energy left.

As a result, they also ushered in their own decline and death.

Because of their high level of cultivation, they are able to sustain themselves for hundreds of years.

This is what Lady Huang did.

The same is true for this ancient tree.

It was not until recent years that it was truly dead, the leaves withered and the tree became hollow.

Fortunately, I met Shen Sangren.

Otherwise it would have become like this hundreds of years ago, or ten or twenty years ago.

I'm afraid it has been cut down by someone long ago, and the roots have been dug out and burned.

That is true death, disappearing into thin air.

Shen Sang asked again: "Gu Song, when was the spiritual energy completely gone?"

It is also said that hundreds of years ago, the ancient tree had lost all its spiritual energy.

This is consistent with Shen Sang's guess.

Otherwise, why are there so few masters in this era?

Shen Sang asked the ancient pine tree about when it had become intelligent.

The ancient pine tree is said to be two thousand years old.

He slowly told Shen Sang, "At that time, this place seemed to be an ancient temple. I listened to the great monks chanting sutras every day, and gradually I understood a little. The abbot of the temple seemed to see that I had some spiritual wisdom and helped me a lot."

Later, as time passed, the temple also perished in the flames of war.

Only it has always stood here.

What happened afterwards, it seemed to have no idea what was going on.

It began to talk incessantly, repeating how the abbot of the temple sat under its shade every day and chanted sutras to it, teaching it how to become enlightened.

See it begin to repeat what the abbot of the temple said.

Shen Sang asked the ancient pine tree again, whether there was anything unusual about it standing here for a thousand years during the Dharma Ending Age.

Or do you feel that there is something abnormal about the way of heaven?

She wanted to know if there was anything unusual between heaven and earth during the thousand years of the Dharma Ending Age.

Because she found that she couldn't observe the stars, and the way of the sky seemed to be wrong.

And she didn't know any other people or animals or plants that had lived that long.

Huang Niangniang's cultivation is not as high as Gu Song's.

Moreover, Huang Niangniang increases her cultivation level by eating incense, which is different from Gu Song.

Niangniang Huang actually lived for a very long time.

But Shen Sang had asked it a long time ago.

Madam Huang knew nothing about anything.

At first, it was only concerned about its own offerings and merits, and could not find out anything else.

So Shen Sang wanted to see if he could get some useful information from Gu Song.

Gu Song chatted with Shen Sang for a while, but the words were all random and more like he was talking to himself.

For example, Gu Song said, there was a child who always liked to run under the tree and whisper to it, treating it as a friend, and later even brought it cakes to eat.

The things that impress it are all strange little things.

And as it was talking, it became silent.

Madam Huang glanced at Shen Sang.

Shen Sang roughly understood that it had just recovered its vitality and its mind might not be very clear yet. It was okay to communicate with it for a short time, but after a long time, it would not be so smart.

It should also remember many, many things.

It just hasn't recovered completely yet, and we need to wait until it recovers completely.

It seems I can only ask again later.
