Jiang Ce was not in a hurry to ask questions, but stood aside and waited. He knew that the old abbot would definitely explain the reason later.

Sure enough, after waiting for a minute, the old abbot coughed and said, "Donor Jiang, although the relics are close to you, I can't lend them to you."

Jiang Ce then said, "Why?"

The old abbot explained: "Did you see this tree? The reason must start with this tree."

Speaking of this towering tree, it has been around for a long time, and it can basically be said to have the same lifespan as Ciyun Temple. After the construction of Ciyun Temple was completed, the backyard was empty, and the host at that time planted a small sapling in the temple.

After hundreds of years of wind and frost, the saplings of that time have grown into towering trees, and the temple has also experienced the baptism of time and has become a famous ancient temple.

It can be said that trees and temples are one.

All the monks in Ciyun Temple respect this tree very much. Whenever they see it, they are like seeing a senior master.

But there are unexpected situations in the world.

This ancient tree has encountered misfortune. I don’t know if its life is about to end or what’s going on, but it is beginning to wither every year!

All the monks were frightened.

I don’t know how many experts I invited and how many methods I used, but in the end they all failed.

Everyone could only watch the tree continue to wither.

And, the speed of withering is getting faster and faster.

Later, the abbot at that time, the master of the old abbot, could no longer bear it and was willing to give up on himself to help the ancient trees last forever.

He lives in the cave of the tree, and no one sits cross-legged, using Buddhism to relieve his resentment and help the ancient trees last forever.

To outsiders, this is a very stupid thing.

But the abbot at that time still did this, and unexpected results appeared.

The ancient trees seemed to have been resuscited by the abbot's Buddhism, and their withering speed slowed down; but it was only slowed down.

Later, the abbot passed away and the withering speed of the ancient tree accelerated.

The current abbot created a stone statue of the abbot in the tree hole, and inlaid the relics left by him after his death in the dantian of the stone statue, as if the abbot was still there.

This approach has indeed had a certain effect, and the speed of ancient trees withering has slowed down again.

The old abbot sighed and said, "So, if you lend the relics to you, donor Jiang, this century-old ancient tree may wither soon. If the ancient tree is destroyed, the lifespan of Ciyun Temple will be over. As the abbot, I must not let Ciyun destroy it!"

It turns out that there is such an allusion here.

However, this relic can only slow down the withering rate of ancient trees, allowing the ancient trees to live for a few more years, but cannot allow them to survive.

To put it nicely, it is called prolonging life, but to put it badly, isn’t that just lingering?

Jiang Ce looked at the ancient tree seriously and asked, "Can I walk into the fence and take a closer look?"

"Yes." The old abbot waved his hand, and immediately a little shaman took out the key and opened the lock on the fence, pushed open the door and let Jiang Ce walk in.

Jiang Ce walked around the ancient tree step by step and took a closer look.

As he walked, he stopped.

In a vague way, Jiang Ce felt that the qi in his body was echoing the ancient tree in front of him, and seemed to be able to feel the breathing of the ancient tree, and he felt that there was something to tell him about the ancient tree!

This feels so strange.

The qi in Jiang Ce's body helped him strengthen his body and used the silver needle. Unexpectedly, it could also help him talk to the ancient tree.

He closed his eyes gently to let the Qi in his body blend with the Qi of the ancient tree.

Jiang Ce felt that the ancient tree's breathing was very weak, like a critically ill old man, like a candle in the wind, and there was a possibility of leaving at any time.

"Can I save you?" Jiang Ce asked in his heart.

He got an answer.

He saw that the ancient tree had completely withered and melted into the soil, and then a brand new sapling emerged from the land.

The old ones don’t go, and the new ones don’t come.

The dead trees come to spring!

In an instant, Jiang Ce opened his eyes, looked at the ancient tree in front of him, and said with a smile: "I understand what you mean."

As he said that, he turned around and walked to the old abbot and said, "Abbot, if I have a way to rejuvenate the ancient tree and regain my life, would you lend me the relics?"

ah?

Everyone's eyes widened.

The little novice monks were shaking their heads like rattles. It was not that they were unwilling to lend Jiangce relics, but that they did not believe that Jiangce could resurrect the ancient tree.

What many experts and professors can’t handle, can he handle it with just a businessman?

A fool?!

Of course, the old abbot didn't believe it either, but he did not directly reject Jiang Ce, but looked up and down.

After all, the old abbot is a veteran and has an extraordinary vision.

He could see at a glance that Jiang Ce was not a thing in the pool. Since he dared to say such a big talk, he must have real skills.

So the old abbot laughed and made a promise in front of everyone: "If donor Jiang can rebirth the ancient tree, let alone lending you relics, what's the harm even if it is given to you?"

The old abbot is still very good at doing things.

With his words, Jiang Ce was completely relieved. He immediately arranged for Pisces to prepare relevant tools. An hour later, Pisces brought a few subordinates over, each carrying a box, all of which were related tools.

Jiang Ce checked it, confirmed that there was no problem, and then prepared to do it.

The old abbot suddenly grabbed Jiang Ce's hand and said nervously: "Donor Jiang, are you sure?"

Jiang Ce nodded, "If I have no confidence, I will pay it with my life."

The old abbot was stunned and smiled awkwardly, "Donor Jiang, you are serious, please."

He took a few steps back and took deep breaths to calm himself down. No matter how much he thought, it would be useless. He could only place all his hopes on Jiang Ce.

I saw that Jiang Ce did nothing at the beginning, just put his hands on the trunk.

Others can't understand.

In fact, he let his Qi enter the body of the ancient tree, feel the flow of the veins and nodes, and then remember all those nodes in his mind.

"Ok, do it."

Jiang Ce used tools to cure diseases of ancient trees.

The method he adopted was the grafting technique he learned from Mr. Chen!

And it's not an ordinary grafting technique.

Jiangce takes ancient trees as the main body and grafts new seedlings, making the new and old blend into one, draw nutrients from the roots, and feeds them back to the entire ancient tree to restore it as a whole.

This grafting lasted for a whole day.

Jiang Ce almost exhausted all his Qi before completing all his grafting surgery.

“Done all.”

He clapped his hands and looked at the fruits of his labor with satisfaction.
