Chapter 962 The Gardener and the Doctor
First of all, the first feeling that the castle gave Jiang Ce was one word: big!
When you look at the foot of the mountain, you feel nothing. When you are really inside, you will feel how big this ancient castle is; and the passages inside are well connected and there are many, just like a maze.
Even though Jiang Ce is extremely smart, it is still quite difficult to figure out the place in just 30 minutes.
Anyway, it was not a matter of one day or two, so Jiang Ce was not in a hurry to run around, but instead analyzed it bit by bit in a planned manner and checked it slowly.
In the end, hard work pays off, but Jiang Ce still gains something.
When he pushed open a wooden door of the castle, a garden appeared behind it, an extraordinary garden.
There are many flowers here.
All kinds of colors and sizes are different, and they are blooming, very beautiful.
The reason why this is different here is because the flowers here do not grow normally in flower beds or pots, but on trees.
To be precise, it grows on tree trunks!
In the garden are trees of different sizes, which are not tall, three or four meters tall, and all kinds of flowers grow on the trunks.
These flowers are strange, like parasitizing on trees.
Jiang Ce was a little confused when he saw it.
Is this grafting?
But I have never heard of it. The scene of grafting various flowers onto the trunks has a sense of familiarity.
Suddenly, three words appeared in Jiang Ce's mind: Vegetative!
Yes.
I remember when I was still in Jiangnan District, Jiang Ce once intercepted a group of 'medicines' sent by God. Those medicines were vegetatives.
A strange flower was grafted on those normal humans.
That kind of flower will constantly absorb the essence of human beings, absorb human beings as nutrients, and finally bloom bright flowers.
This flower is the only 'anti-drug' to restrain Shixin San.
But it is just a treatment of symptoms but not the root cause.
Flowers always wither and medicine always have their medicinal effects. When the effect of flowers is gone, the toxicity of Shixin San will recur; it is precisely because of this that you need to take the antidote every month.
This is also the means by which the old God Lord controls Yancheng.
Thinking of this, Jiang Ce quickly walked to the trunk of the tree and began to study the flowers to see if they were the same as he imagined.
After seeing it, I was very disappointed.
These flowers are very ordinary flowers, not the kind of flowers that will be absorbed every moment, and they are not the flowers grafted on vegetative bodies.
but……
Although flowers are not, this grafting method may be a clue.
"Young man, what are you looking at?"
Just as Jiang Ce was thinking seriously, suddenly, an old man's voice came from behind. When Jiang Ce looked back, he found that an old man with white hair was coming over with various tools.
Jiang Ce bowed and said with a smile: "My younger generation, Jiang Ce, is the newly recruited chef from the Abide House. When the lady was having lunch, she walked around. Seeing that the flowers here are more beautiful, she couldn't help but take a few more glances."
The old man smiled and said, "That's natural. These are the results I have spent half my life studying. Isn't it beautiful?"
Jiang Ce nodded, "Beautiful, I wonder what the old man calls him?"
The old man said, "Just call me Mr. Chen. I am a gardener in the Abide House. I have worked here for most of my life. I have no other hobbies, I just like all kinds of flowers."
Jiang Ce said: "Old Chen's level of planting flowers is really extraordinary. Others focus on the flower garden and in the flower pot, but you plant the flowers on the trees. It's simply unheard of."
Mr. Chen came over and checked his flowers while answering, "I just love to mess around. In fact, there is nothing wrong with planting in the flower garden and the flower pot, but compared to planting on the trunk, there is nothing wrong with planting on the tree trunk."
"What is missing?"
"Aggressive."
Um?
Jiang Ce was stunned for the first time. I heard that Hua was still aggressive?
"I don't understand, please give me more advice."
Mr. Chen said: "It's actually very simple. If you plant the flowers in the flowerbed and pot, and fertilize and water them every day, the flowers will basically have no risks. You can open it by eating and drinking every day."
"But if you graft these flowers onto the trunk, it's different. First of all, these flowers have no conditions to absorb nutrients directly. If they want to survive, they must seize nutrients from the tree!"
"Will a tree give its own nutrients to flowers for no reason?"
"Obviously not."
"So, most flowers will wither and die in this process, just like the flowers you see in the yard, and there will be no one that can survive in the end. Those who have a long time can live for three or four days. Those who have a short time will wither in less than half a day."
While speaking, Jiang Ce had already seen a flower withered.
The flowers that were still blooming brightly just now changed their color in just a few minutes, and withered and withered, and the speed was simply too fast.
Jiang Ce said: "It seems that if these delicate flowers that want to absorb nutrients from the tree, they must make themselves fierce and aggressive."
Mr. Chen looked at Jiang Ce with great appreciation and gave a thumbs up, "Young man, I have a good understanding. Old man, my job is to graft countless flowers onto the tree every day, and then wait slowly. When flowers that can cultivate aggressiveness and absorb nutrients from the trunks appear."
Jiang Ce asked: "That's it? What if this aggressive flower appears?"
Mr. Chen looked at Jiang Ce with a smile, and was silent for a moment, saying, "Originally, these things should not be told to you, an outsider. But I think you are very destined to be together. Come and let you see my husband's achievements."
As he said that, Mr. Chen put down the guy's affairs, took Jiang Ce to an iron door in the yard, took out the key and opened it.
The moment the iron door was pushed open, Jiang Ce was stunned.
If the garden is like heaven, with beautiful flowers blooming everywhere; then, the room behind this iron gate is the purgatory of the earth!
This is a room of nearly 200 square meters, and it is a research room.
Inside, there are iron cages one by one, built up one by one, from the ground to the ceiling. Each cage contains small animals.
Rabbits, cats, dogs, mice, hedgehogs and various birds.
There are all kinds of animals.
If you don’t look carefully, you will think this is a flower and bird market or something; but if you open your eyes and observe carefully, you will find the tricks.
Something is wrong!
Every animal here is wrong.
Just because every animal has flowers of all sizes.
Once again, the three words "vegetative" appeared in Jiang Ce's mind; the scene in front of him was very close to the scene seen in Jiangnan District.
Although the people who are detained in the cage are not humans, they are indeed animals!
How cruel and incredible it is to graft plants like flowers onto animals?!
Jiang Ce swallowed and his heart beat faster.
This place is like a passage to hell. Mr. Chen, who just felt a kind face, was simply a devil and Satan in Jiang Ce's eyes!
Mr. Chen didn't care at all.
He walked in directly, pointed to the cages and said proudly: "Little brother, have you seen this? These are my lifelong masterpieces."
"Besides being a gardener, I am also an excellent doctor. My grafting skills can not only graft flowers on tree trunks, but also graft flowers on animals."
"Didn't you just ask me, what do you do with aggression?"
"Now I tell you that when I cultivate aggressive flowers, I will graft them onto small animals. However, animals are much more resistant than tree trunks, and animals are naturally repulsive to plants, so this kind of grafting is very difficult."
"Even if it can be successfully grafted, most flowers are absolutely not as aggressive as they can absorb nutrients from small animals."
"So, ninety-nine percent of the flowers here will perish."
"In the end, less than one percent of the flowers can survive tenaciously and absorb nutrients from these small animals."
In other words, to compensate for a qualified flower, you have to go through the screening of the two layers of tree trunk and small animals.
Cruel, incredible.
But, are there only two layers?
Others don’t know. Jiang Ce knows that the last destination of these flowers is not small animals, but humans! In the end, it is necessary to cultivate 'vegetative'.
Therefore, just passing the first two levels is not enough. There should be a third level.
A cold light shot out from Jiang Ce's eyes and asked, "Old Chen, what about the third level?"
Mr. Chen was stunned for a moment, "What's the third level?"
Jiang Ce chuckled, "It is to finally graft these extremely aggressive flowers onto humans."
The scene became quiet instantly.
Mr. Chen said nothing, and Jiang Ce didn't say anything. The two of them stood shoulder to shoulder, looking at the weird animals in the room together.
The atmosphere is a bit weird.
After a long time, Old Chen touched his beard and said, "Little brother, you are too much. Grafting flowers onto humans is illegal. Old man, I never do such illegal things."
Haha, what I said is really high-sounding.
But of course, who would deliberately admit this?
Jiang Ce nodded and said with a deliberately smile: "Haha, of course I know this, it's just a joke, Mr. Chen, don't be surprised."
Mr. Chen also laughed, "This joke is really not funny."
The two looked at each other, and their hearts were filled with all kinds of small things.
At this time, Jiang Ce's cell phone rang, and the time he had set for 30 minutes was up. Today's exploration is over.
