Fast Travel: A Record of Unusual Creatures

Chapter 40: Vow to compete with Guanyin for performance (5)

Even though it was still dark at this time, such a big event alerted all the people around, and the surrounding area quickly became noisy. The common people probably did not dare to enter because Pomegranate was in the official residence of the Salt Patrol Censor, so they only watched and discussed from a distance.

Others who are also officials of Yangzhou Prefecture.

There were no worries anymore, and they all rushed over with greeting cards, out of curiosity and wanting to find out the situation.

Finally figure out these weird things.

Officials like them have a duty to do.

At the same time, Lin Ruhai was not idle. He ordered people to light up the lamps and candles, and persuaded his wife and daughter to personally take some servants to the small garden. At the same time, he sent people to wait at the gate of the mansion to receive guests.

For such a big thing and such a big tree, you don't have to think about it to know that someone will come to watch or come to find out what's going on. Civilians will not barge in without asking for trouble, but officials can't let people in when they visit, right?

Therefore, it is necessary to send people to greet guests.

But not to mention the foreign guests who had not yet entered the door, Lin Ruhai walked to the small garden in a short while, and under the illumination of candlelight, he finally saw clearly the situation of the small garden at this time, as well as the variety of the tree.

Although this tree no longer looks like a pomegranate tree, and its position has changed somewhat from before, the individual pomegranates on the tree have matured and are several times the size of normal pomegranates, comparable to the size of three or four adult fists. Pomegranate, Lin Ruhai, he wouldn't be able to recognize it.

Although the tree is tall, it bears a lot of fruits, and the fruits are not all grown on the crown of the tree more than ten meters high. Instead, there are fruits hanging on the branches of more than one meter, and there are numerous fruits.

You can touch the fruit by raising your hand.

Even take it off.

However, due to concerns about unknown things, Lin Ruhai and the people he brought did not dare to get too close to the pomegranate tree, let alone pick them. They just watched from a distance.

"Is this a pomegranate tree?

And looking at the location of this pomegranate tree, it should be the century-old pomegranate tree that was moved from the ancestral home. Is it possible that the pomegranate tree really became a spirit? "

After discovering that the suddenly enlarged tree was a pomegranate tree, Lin Ruhai immediately guessed the source of the pomegranate tree.

Because there is only one pomegranate tree in the entire small garden of the official residence, which he moved and planted with his own hands after he moved here. Even if nothing happens, if he gets promoted in the future, or becomes an official in other places, he may also plant the pomegranate tree. Dig it out and take it with you.

Such a memorable pomegranate tree.

How could he forget?

And compared to planting flowers, plants and trees that grow into spirits in a year or two, it is undoubtedly more reliable to grow pomegranate trees that grow into spirits after a hundred years, and it feels like a matter of course.

"Sir, you can't be wrong. It seems like this is a good omen. After all, your ancestors planted this pomegranate tree with their own hands. Now that such a big change suddenly happened, it could be that your ancestors showed up.

I have specially blessed this pomegranate tree in the hope that it can protect you and your wife and have many heirs. Why don't you sacrifice an ancestor first, and then pick a pomegranate fruit for your wife to eat, or give it to other maids first, and then let your wife eat it if nothing happens.

I can't believe that you and your wife will have a child! "

Butler Lin has been serving the Lin family for generations, and he knows very well about the origin of this pomegranate tree and the fact that the Lin family has no descendants and no successors at this time, so he quickly made up his mind based on the current situation, and also The story is well rounded and sounds reasonable.

"Don't talk nonsense. In this case, you can ask if anyone is willing to pick a fruit. No matter if something happens or not, you will get ten taels of silver. If something happens, you will be given 200 taels of silver as a compensation. It must be voluntary and must not be forced!"

No matter how much he believed in his ancestors, Lin Ruhai did not dare to risk his own life, so after thinking for a while, he decided to let others take the risk and give it a try.

He turned around and gave this order to Butler Lin.

Butler Lin then passed on the next message.

With such a good treatment, except for a few who were very timid, even a few maids raised their hands to express their willingness.Of course, this is also related to the fact that the pomegranate tree in front of you looks very beautiful, and even has a somewhat sacred feeling under the moonlight. If there is a locust tree in front of you, it may look scary, or even reveal a sinister face. , it is estimated that not so many people are willing.

After all, throughout the ages, how many people can be so disrespectful?

Zhong Kui was deposed from the top spot because of his ugliness!

It has a good-looking appearance and an auspicious reputation. Even if it is just a tree, it can still have some advantages. It can win some favor from humans first. If it is replaced by a locust tree or other trees that represent ghosts, how can it get such treatment? I am afraid it will be burned directly. , or something like black dog blood, pour it first and then talk about it.

The fact that there were so many people willing to take risks didn't bother Butler Lin. He just casually named someone he knew, called him to his side, explained it carefully, and then let him take action.

Lin Laoshi, who was selected, was honest. He took a step forward and knelt down violently, kowtowing nine times to the pomegranate tree. Regardless of whether it was a god or a monster, there was nothing wrong with being polite. After all, he stretched out his hand to avoid hitting the smiling person. After kowtowing, The nine heads were not finished yet. He took a step forward and kowtowed nine more times, nine times in one step, until he kowtowed to the edge of the tree.

Then he stood up and muttered some more.

Then I reached out to pick pomegranates.

To be honest, Qu Jie originally wanted Lin Ruhai or Jia Min to pick it by herself, so as to add a bit of mythology to them and make it easier to protect them.

But look at Lin Laoshi kowtow to himself so many times.

She was too embarrassed to let people leave empty-handed.

So we had to change the plan and loosen the restrictions on the pomegranate fruit that Lin Laoshi touched, allowing him to pick a pomegranate smoothly. At the same time, in order to prevent them from eating pomegranates indiscriminately and causing some unpredictable consequences.

Qu Jie also mentioned the specific curative effects of pomegranate.

Together they turned into information flow and passed it to Lin Laoshi.

It was okay that a pomegranate weighed five kilograms. Lin Laoshi did rough work, so he was not unable to hold it, but suddenly a piece of information appeared in his mind, which frightened him, and he staggered immediately. He almost didn't scream out loud, but his face instantly turned pale.

After a while, he managed to calm down. He hugged the pomegranate and kowtowed a few more times with a frightened look on his face. Then he hurriedly turned around and took the pomegranate to the edge of Lin Ruhai to salute.

"What's going on? Are you hurt in any way?"

From Lin Ruhai's point of view, there was obviously no danger in the process, but Lin Laoshi suddenly looked frightened, even as if he had been injured.

It was so strange, how could he not be curious and ask?

"Old... Master, I'm not hurt. It's just that after I got the pomegranate fruit, a piece of information suddenly appeared in my mind, as if someone was talking to me.

Tell me how to use this pomegranate fruit.

what's the effect.

I have never encountered anything like this before, and I was shocked! "

Lin Laoshi was relatively calm, and at this time he was able to express his recent experience in a very organized and normal manner.
