The reason why the Hammer King became famous was because of the Stone-hammer Tree. Therefore, he treated the Stone-hammer Tree as his own child. When he died, he didn't forget to arrange an escape route for his child. Although it seemed very cruel to seal the Stone-hammer Tree here, it could ensure the survival of the Stone-hammer Tree until it could meet its second master one day.
The Hammer King's plan succeeded. The Stone-hammer Tree survived and met Little Crane Grass. This was the ending that the Hammer King wanted to see the most.
In addition to these, the letter left by the Hammer King also mentioned another thing. That was a special technique that he cultivated. This special technique was called the 'Human-Plant Unity Technique'. It was to integrate a person and a plant into one, especially during a battle.
Imagine that during a battle, a plant master and a plant master suddenly became one. If it was an ordinary plant, then there was nothing to be afraid of. But the scary thing was that this plant master wasn't an ordinary plant, but a plant like the Stone-hammer Tree. Therefore, the plant master had the defensive ability of the Stone-hammer Tree and the attacking means of the Stone-hammer Tree. The Stone-hammer Tree had the flexibility of the plant master and the natural energy of the plant master as its own energy. Such a combat power was simply incomparable to an ordinary cultivator.
The Hammer King was a genius in the past, so he created the 'Seed of Gratitude' method. However, there was a prerequisite for using this method. That was, you must have a plant to protect you. Only when you have the protection of a plant could you use this method. Ordinary plant masters couldn't use this method, so this method couldn't be passed down at all.
In order to let the Stone-hammer Tree live for a while, the Hammer King added two conditions in the seal. The first was that there must be a seed of gratitude. A plant master with a seed of gratitude wouldn't be a bad person because this meant that the plant master had been working hard to take care of the plant master. He was very good to the plant master. Such a person was unlikely to be a bad person.
The second condition was that there must be a plant to protect the Stone-hammer Tree. With the protection of a plant, one could learn the 'Human-Plant Unity' method. It was equivalent to the Hammer King passing down his inheritance and at the same time, finding the best master for the Stone-hammer Tree.
Little Crane Grass couldn't help but sigh at the sight of this. The Hammer King had really put a lot of thought into this. He had actually arranged such a perfect escape route for the Stone-hammer Tree after his death. This was really amazing. Little Crane Grass could feel the Hammer King's deep love for the Stone-hammer Tree from this arrangement.
After sighing, Little Crane Grass sorted out his mood. He carefully looked at the tomb. It was very big but also very ordinary. He looked at the stone coffin was a huge stone coffin.... Little Crane Grass didn't say anything and bowed a few times..... Little Crane Grass didn't say anything.. he bowed towards the coffin Stone... of the Coffin Tree master.... Little Crane Grass didn't say anything...
He was a Plant Master in his fifties. His face was full of hardships and his clothes were very shabby. At first glance, one could see that his life wasn't very good. But now, he was dead. His back was hit by the stone hammer and his bones were broken. Little Crane Grass sighed, then he grabbed the Plant Master's clothes and slowly walked out.
Little Crane Grass placed the Plant Master on the ground and searched his body. He found a money pouch with only a few silver coins inside. However, Little Crane Grass wasn't polite and directly put the silver coins away. Then he looked at the Plant Master's small wooden chest. The things inside the small wooden chest were very ordinary, but there were a few books that he nailed inside. Little Crane Grass took a look at the books and found that they were all things recorded by the Plant Master. Little Crane Grass didn't hesitate and put the books into his wooden chest. Then he carefully looked at the wooden chest and found that there was nothing else inside. Little Crane Grass looked around and found that the wooden chest also had a secret compartment. After opening the secret compartment, he found a few gold coins and a book inside.
Little Crane Grass took out the gold coins and put them away. Then he looked at the book. The book was a Plant Master's cultivation method. After looking at this cultivation method, Little Crane Grass couldn't help but frown. This was because in Little Crane Grass' opinion, this cultivation method wasn't very good. Compared to the Hu Clan's Vine Technique and Pine Technique, it was too lacking.
The Hu Clan's Vine Technique and Pine Technique used all the meridians in the body. When fighting with people, their attack power was very strong. However, this Plant Master's cultivation method only used a small part of the meridians in the body. The consequence of this was that when fighting with people, the path of Natural Energy in the meridians would be reduced. Without any support, the attack power would weaken, and the endurance would decrease.
For Little Crane Grass, this cultivation method was completely useless. Little Crane Grass put the book back into the box and rummaged through the box. Since he couldn't find anything useful, Little Crane Grass couldn't help but sigh. Then he put the box next to the Plant Master's corpse. Then he picked up his box and left the tunnel.
When he arrived outside the tunnel and looked at the new soil on the side, Little Crane Grass sighed. Then he silently communicated with the grass and the trees in the forest. Before long, the new soil kept moving forward on the grass. Before long, the new soil fell back into the tunnel. Then the tunnel was slowly filled up by people. Then new grass grew out of the tunnel. Before long, the grass grew as tall as the previous grass. Nobody could see that there was a tunnel there.
After doing all this, Little Crane Grass carried his box and walked out of the forest. From the time he entered the forest to the time he walked out, it had only taken him a little more than an hour. He believed that the person in the tree would still be waiting for him outside.
Sure enough, when Little Crane Grass came out of the forest, the villagers were still waiting for him outside. Upon seeing Little Crane Grass come out, the old man immediately welcomed him. His eyes were filled with hope as he looked at Little Crane Grass.
When Little Crane Grass saw the old man's expression, he smiled faintly and said, "Old man, there's a mutated plant in the forest. That's why it attacked people. I've already dealt with the mutated plant. You can rest assured when you enter the forest in the future.
When the villagers heard Little Crane Grass's words, they couldn't help but cheer. A few of the more courageous youngsters immediately rushed into the forest. Not long after, they ran out while cheering. They didn't see the plant that attacked them at the place where they were attacked. Now, they completely believed Little Crane Grass's words.
The old man bowed to Little Crane Grass and said, "Respected Sir, you are our Shi Family Village's hero. Sir, please follow me into the village and have a good rest. As for Sir's reward, we will immediately send it to you."
Little Crane Grass only just found out that this place was actually called Shi Family Village. He didn't stand on ceremony and followed the villagers into the village. As he walked, he asked the old man, "Old man, are you the village chief of Shi Family Village?"
The old man nodded and said, "I am. This old man is the Shi Family Village's Village Chief. To be able to meet Sir this time is our Shi Family Village's honor. Sir, please come with me to my shop. In the village, only my shop has a place to rest."
Little Crane Grass nodded. Then his heart moved as he looked at the old man and said, "Old man, are the people in your village surnamed Shi? This surname is very rarely seen. "
The old man's face suddenly had an expression of honor as he said, "Replying to Sir, the people in our village are all surnamed Shi. I heard that our Lord was a servant of a powerful Botanist. Later on, that Lord passed away and was buried in Shi Family Village. My Lord has been staying here ever since, guarding that Lord's tomb. In the end, he married and gave birth to a child, which led to the current Shi Family Village. However, our ancestors didn't tell us where that Lord's tomb is, so we can only pay our respects to that Lord's portrait every year."
Little Crane Grass understood why there was a village here and why the Hammer King's tomb was here. He heard that the Hammer King's surname was Shi, but nobody knew his real name. This was because it had been forgotten. People only knew that he was called Hammer King, they didn't know his other names.
Little Crane Grass followed the Village Chief to the shop. The Village Chief respectfully invited Little Crane Grass to sit down. Then a villager brought a cloth bag over. The Village Chief handed the bag over to Little Crane Grass and said, "Sir, this is your reward. We know that this small reward is far from what Sir has done for our village. However, this is a token of our appreciation, please accept it."
Little Crane Grass accepted the cloth bag handed over by the village chief without any hesitation. He didn't reject it because this was the rule of a plant master. If a plant master worked hard, he would be rewarded. If he didn't accept it and the other plant masters found out, he would be ostracized.
Plant masters weren't all as rich as the Hu Clan's plant masters. Many plant masters would run around in order to make a living. Like this, helping the village to do some things and receiving a certain amount of remuneration was the main source of income for many plant masters. If you didn't receive any remuneration, then other plant masters would appear to be too greedy. However, if you didn't receive any remuneration, then they wouldn't have any income. If you did a good thing for a while, then other plant masters would bear a bad reputation, or even have no income. Of course, this wouldn't do. Therefore, when plant masters helped others to do things, they must receive remuneration. Crane Grass naturally wouldn't be polite.
Seeing that Little Crane Grass received the reward, the Village Chief let out a sigh of relief. If Little Crane Grass didn't accept the reward, then it meant that he was dissatisfied with the reward. If that was the case, then the Village Chief would need to give Little Crane Grass more reward. Now that Little Crane Grass received the reward, then the Village Chief didn't need to give Little Crane Grass a reward. Naturally, he was very happy.
The Village Chief immediately said to Little Crane Grass, "Sir, why don't you rest in our village for a night? You must be tired from today's battle. I'll go make a table of decent dishes to entertain Sir and express our sincerity. "
Little Crane Grass looked at the sky and thought for a bit. Finally, he nodded and said, "Alright, then I'll have to trouble the Village Chief."
When the Village Chief heard Little Crane Grass, he quickly said, "It's no trouble, no trouble at all. Stone, quickly bring Sir to the guest room to rest. Prepare some tea for Sir, quickly." The young man who was dozing off in the shop ran over. After responding, he came to the Little Crane Grass and bowed to it. "Sir, please come with me."
Little Crane Grass didn't refuse. He stood up and nodded to the Village Chief before following Stone to the back of the shop.
