The sword is the devil

Chapter 376 The Essence of Life
Hou Tiao lingered on Bamboo Island, regardless of other factors, this place is indeed a good place to practice, overlooking the clear water and blue sky, close to the green mountains and green bamboos, cleansing the mind, enjoying the artistic conception, not only him, everyone who comes here has Such a feeling.

Unlike others, he is more immersed in doing things in a down-to-earth way, helping monk Zhudao to take care of the rouge bamboo forest, instead of just enjoying the beautiful scenery and focusing on finding the distinctive rouge bamboo.

It is precisely because of his attitude that he has a better understanding of the rouge bamboo forest on Zhudao.

Not every bamboo will grow into the rouge bamboo that is widely used in the practice world. In fact, there is a probability of rouge bamboo appearing in the growth of bamboo forests.

Because he is focused on labor, he can roughly judge the proportion of spiritual bamboos that grow to be no more than one hundred. Among the rouge bamboos, there may not be a Xiangfei bamboo.

Very rare, because of the huge number of bamboo islands, he only occasionally found two these days, both of which were not fully grown larvae.

Carmine bamboo, Xiangfei bamboo, are not two varieties, but refer to the best of the carmine bamboo, the traces of carmine are connected into a thread, as if the whole body is filled with a light red haze from the inside to the outside, the brilliance flows, Very beautiful.

"Brother Hou, shall I give you a Xiangfei bamboo?"

The little fairy is very grateful to him for his wholehearted help these days, and plans to give him a gift;
Hou Tiao shook his head, "No, for them, the best place is here. They grow in the soil and receive inspiration from the earth. I don't want to carry a dead bamboo in my arms."

The little fairy smiled sweetly, she had been in contact with a lot, and she probably understood the temper of this sword cultivator, which was different from the vicious demon style she imagined, this one was actually a humorous person, except for a few outbursts sometimes Swearing is also a kind of true temperament without affectation.

What she agrees with the most is that this person really likes nature, not pretending to do so for some purpose, which cannot be concealed from her feeling, because she herself is a part of nature.

From the moment he cuts the bamboo ring with the sword, he can understand that it is not just doing it casually, nor sticking to a routine, but corresponding to different bamboos, there are different sword angles and ring depths, which fully fit each bamboo. The actual situation, including the amount of slurry used, is always just right.

This means that he really appreciates these plants with his heart, treating them as a life, not as a material for harvesting.

Therefore, it was not surprising to her that he would not accept such a gift,
"Senior brother, little sister, I'm just curious, how did you, a kendo disciple who killed iron and blood, get along so well with nature?"

Hou Tiao smiled complacently, "It's a long story... well, I admit that I don't know, since Zifu Yingzhao started, it seems that this tendency has become more and more serious; you know, the bridge when I became enlightened Citation is the introduction of nature."

The little fairy paused in surprise, this is not easy, using such a completely illusory thing as a guide requires a strong natural affinity; in an environment like Zhudao, she is the only teacher and sister who has such a Opportunities, others are the concrete objects that pass through.

A person who grows bamboo every day is not as close to nature as a person who holds a sword, and I don't know how the heavens judge?Or, this swordsman chose the wrong profession?
"So, brother, do you think there is anything else that needs to be changed on Bamboo Island?"

Hou Tiao said meaningfully, "I think the same as you."

The two fell into silence. This was the common feeling of the two monks who were in love with nature. They continued to work. After a long time, the little fairy sighed.
"It's been like this since the day I was born. I work like this year after year, day after day. It's not that I hate giving, but as I grow older and my realm improves, I feel more and more like this kind of cutting ring. Climbing bamboo seems to go against the nature of natural plants.

But I dare not tell my wife, and I seldom see her. Although my wife is always pleasant and approachable, we all know that Zhudao is my wife’s Zhudao, and no one dares to make suggestions.

I only mentioned it to the Second Senior Sister, and the Second Senior Sister asked me not to say these things in the future... Although she didn't say it, I know she also has such doubts. "

Hou Tiao was very curious, "If the rings are not cut and grouted, how many rouge bamboos can grow in such a bamboo forest?"

The little fairy thought for a while, "It happened before, because the manpower was too busy, so there was a large bamboo forest that didn't make it in time. I heard that Madam was very upset...

The result is that the bamboo forest withered in the flowering season, and none of the 10,000+ bamboos survived, let alone grow into carmine bamboo.

I heard from my seniors that if the bamboos on the whole island do not interfere with external forces and only rely on natural growth, then only the very lucky ones will survive the withering of flowering, and they will survive twice in a row, and they will become real after 18 years. Carmine bamboo.

In this case, judging from the area of ​​Zhudao, it would be very lucky to have a few rouge bamboos in ten years. As for Xiangfei bamboo, don't even think about it. "

Hou Tiao wryly smiled, "The gap is not so big."

Neither of them continued to talk in depth, because there was no way to talk.

From the point of view of plant cultivation, Mrs. Bamboo is undoubtedly successful. She has greatly increased the success rate of rouge bamboo, allowing this rare product to enter the realm of cultivation and circulation, which is no longer elusive.

But from the nature of nature, this kind of cultivation violates the natural law of the growth of annatto bamboo. No one knows what kind of impact it will have on this variety of plants in the future. Will there be annatto bamboo in the future?Or was it bred into another breed?
Hou Niao would like to ask, what is the real rouge bamboo and Xiangfei bamboo like?But he also knows that there is no such thing in the current Bamboo Island;
It should be different. Natural growth and external force are two concepts. No matter how powerful a monk is, it is impossible to control other life processes. As Gu Lao said, one of the ultimate origins is the origin of life!

A large number of people do not take this kind of thing seriously, thinking that their worries are unfounded and worrying about their gills; but if we look at it from another angle, if we change the annatto bamboo into an animal, it has been cultivated and transformed by humans. It has become another kind of monster, and there are probably very few people who can accept it.

If human beings are cultivated and transformed at will...

So, should there be a difference between humans, animals, plants, and all living organisms?
At least there is no difference in the basic concept of cultivation, especially for Taoism and Buddhism, which has always been magnificent and upright, the equality of all beings means correct cultivation.

The same is life, plants can't speak!
