Ginseng is a kind of herbaceous plant.
Has anyone ever seen a ginseng as huge as a thousand-year-old banyan tree?
Feng Lin saw it now.
The ginseng's wrinkled skin was as big as a tree trunk, and its tentacles were deep into the ground, intertwining to form a net that could be seen everywhere.
The ginseng in the middle was like a thousand-year-old tree, filling up the underground space.
"Outsider, you're here?" The densely packed ginseng roots parted, revealing an old face covered in wrinkles. It seemed weak, but its face was benevolent, like a refined old man.
"You are the old ancestor of the Hundred Grass Village?" Feng Lin calmly asked.
"That's right! In the Great Desolate World, only Demon Kings could establish a faction! I was the one who established Hundred Grass Village! " The Ginseng King said with a smile. He looked Feng Lin up and down with his withered eyes, as if he was trying to see through all of Feng Lin's secrets. "If I'm not wrong, you're not from the Untainted Land, are you?"
"What do you mean?" Feng Lin's heart skipped a beat. He didn't know what the Ginseng King had seen.
The Ginseng King continued to laugh. "Although the Untainted Land is vast, there are only a few who can recognize your identity. Our ginseng race has a long lifespan. As long as we transform into a demon, we will have a lifespan of ten thousand years. Therefore, we know much more than the other demon races! According to our ancestors, we are in a primitive small world, a world of its own, but it is not a real world! You don't have any primeval aura on you, so you should be from the outside world! "
Feng Lin was silent, but he was on high alert. He didn't expect the Ginseng King to be so knowledgeable.
However, this Ginseng King had lived for a long time and had already gained sentience. It seemed to have seen through this and lightly laughed, saying, "You don't have to worry! I won't do anything to you. In fact, if you were here a hundred or a thousand years ago, it might have been different! But now that my lifespan is exhausted, I can no longer do anything to you.
It's hard for me to resist. Otherwise, he wouldn't have taken out a Connate Numinous treasure to ask for your help in order to cherish his lifespan. After all, even during the ancient times, a Spirit Treasure of this level was extremely rare, and once it appeared, it would draw countless people to fight for it. "
"You know that this is a Connate numinous treasure?" Feng Lin silently clenched the copper coin in his hand, feeling extremely puzzled.
The Ginseng King knew the value of the copper coin, so how could he bear to take it out?
The Ginseng King smiled and said, "We, the Ginseng Demons, have an ancient heritage. The copper coin contained Connate Dao Runes and the space within it was boundless. Naturally, he knew that it was a Connate Numinous Treasure. However, it's a pity that it's severely damaged, and the Innate Qi within it is almost completely gone. Otherwise, I wouldn't have given it to you. I didn't expect that you would take a fancy to me at first sight. That's why I'm interested in you! "
So that was how it was.
Feng Lin nodded to himself. He could tell that the Ginseng King had an ancient heritage, but he did not reveal the true origin of the copper coin. Otherwise, he would not have been willing to let go of it.
This copper coin was a rare treasure in the Divine Seal Decree, and it specialized in restraining all sorts of Xiantian spirit treasures. Although it was unknown why it had been damaged, its hidden value was still enormous.
Just the Connate Dao Aura alone was priceless.
The Ginseng King did not recognize the true treasure and had instead allowed him to take advantage of it.
"I wonder what's happening in the outside world?" the Ginseng King suddenly asked.
Since his background had already been seen through, there was no point in hiding anymore.
Feng Lin roughly explained the interstellar background, but he did not touch on the principles of interstellar technology and only talked about the superficial aspects.
Even so, the Ginseng King was amazed. "I didn't expect that after so many years, the future civilization of humanity would develop into such an incredible civilization. It's really beyond imagination! Although it's still in the early stages of revival, it contains great potential. One day, it will restore the Mythological Civilization and even surpass it! "
The Ginseng King took a deep breath and suddenly seemed to have made a huge decision. He said in a deep voice, "Little friend, I wonder if this old man can ask you for a favor?"
"What is it?" Feng Lin immediately became vigilant. As expected, he had a hidden agenda, so he had to be on guard.
The Ginseng King saw it but did not say anything. "The outside world is incomparably wonderful and full of great opportunities! So I want to ask you for a favor. Please take the four children of our village out of here! "
As he said so, his roots spread out, revealing four small figures. They were the ginseng, tea tree, ganoderma, and snow lotus — the four little demons.
These four demons want to go with me?
How could there be so many good things in this world?
…
Feng Lin did not believe it from the bottom of his heart. Although he had saved the Hundred Grass Village once, he did not believe that he had the domineering aura to immediately make these people trust him.
The so-called good intentions were not to be trusted.
"Why me?" Feng Lin asked in a deep voice.
"Because in the face of the siege of the monsters, you could have chosen to leave, but you kept your promise to fight the tiger demon and save the Hundred Grass Village! Just this alone is already worthy of trust. " The Ginseng King smiled lightly. "Besides, you are still an outsider, but you can recognize the primordial spiritual treasure, which shows that you have an extraordinary background. This is also something that I value. "
Sure enough, everything had a deeper meaning.
Feng Lin thought for a while, but he did not believe it.
Such a story might be able to deceive a three-year-old child, but it would be a joke to use it to deceive him.
"Your Excellency, it's better to tell the truth! These four little ones need at least a hundred years to become demons, and you are so assured to follow me? Isn't this too childish? If you are not willing to tell me the reason, then forgive me for not agreeing! "Feng Lin sneered and did not agree.
Hmm?
The Ginseng King's pair of old eyes sharpened like never before. He stared straight at Feng Lin, and an invisible strong aura spread out. It was not as fierce as the tiger demon's, but it was more vigorous. It came from all directions and surrounded Feng Lin.
Feng Lin looked straight at it, his body straight and unmoved.
Seeing that he could not do anything to Feng Lin, the Ginseng King sighed. "Then I'll tell you the truth. This primitive small world is about to be destroyed, so I specially asked you to take the four little ones out. This way, even if the world is destroyed, we can leave behind a spark for the Hundred Grass Village. "
"The world is destroyed?" Feng Lin was surprised. "You are not lying to me, are you?"
A small world that formed its own heaven and earth could be destroyed?
"Why is it not possible?" The Ginseng King said lightly. "The stars are not constant, and everything in the universe will rise and fall. Naturally, there will be destruction! This is the case for humans, the stars, and the small world. It's just that the time dimension is different. With the short lifespan of humans, even if they go through nine reincarnations, they will not see it once. We, who have become demons, are most sensitive to vitality, and have long sensed that this world is on the verge of destruction. "
Feng Lin nodded secretly.
He knew that there was the theory of entropy increase in scientific principles.
A closed system that was not in contact with the outside world for a long time would increase its entropy irreversibly until it was completely destroyed in the end.
This primitive world had been alone for countless years, so it was reasonable for it to be destroyed.
"How long until the world is destroyed?" Feng Lin asked the most important question.
"As long as ten thousand years, as short as a thousand years!"
"…"
