Lin Luoran takes the pot with the fleece flower in it. Fleet flower is a natural medicine to blacken hair, and it can be found everywhere by the corner of houses in the countryside. Eating fleet flower can actually make people's hair blacker, but Lin Luoran can't figure out the reason why it parallels panaceas like ginseng and Ganoderma.
Perhaps this is because the plant is too young to have stronger efficacies.
Leaves of the fleet flower are dusty. Lin Luoran feels embarrassed to take the dusty plant to the mysterious space so she fetches a basin of water to wash it. However, it puzzles her that the fleet flower still looks dirty after she has washed it several times.
It doesn't feel right. Lin Luoran moves the pot to have a closer look, and she discovers the strangeness.
Leaves of the fleet flower are clean enough, at least in the normal way. The reason that Lin Luoran thinks it is dirty is that a plume of gray smoke is circling the whole plant. Besides, a stream of green smoke is stretching in the center of the vine. Every time the green smoke spreads, the gray smoke backs off a little bit, and when the green smoke draws back, the gray smoke extends. "Smoke" of two different colors seems to be having a great and lasting war!
For now, the green smoke is losing…
Lin Luoran wishes to look a little longer, but her eyes begin to sour. She might have used them too much. Lin Luoran closes her eyes but her mood swings.
Did she just see Reiki, or the life essence of plants?
Lin Luoran takes a deep breath and opens her eyes. Probably the fruit does not just change her appearance. Something more beautiful and magical might have happened to her.
She looks back at the fleet flower. This time, the gray and the green smoke are gone, and the plant is wilted again.
Lin Luoran can only see the gray and green smoke when she is concentrated. She feels blessed and looks up to the outside through the window.
The advantage of an old neighborhood is that the flowers and trees were planted years ago, and they have grown quite tall and strong. Not far away from her window is a tall hibiscus. It is the flowering season. Pink and red flowers intersperse among green leaves, presenting a beautiful and lively view.
Lin Luoran takes a careful look at the hibiscus and finds the same green-and-gray-smoke situation happening to it. The two kinds of smoke are in a stalemate. Different from the fleet flower, the thickest spots of the hibiscus's green smoke are around the flowers.
This is not over. Gray smoke is also flowing in the air, being inhaled by innocent passengers.
Lin Luoran is startled. She hurries to look back at herself.
The gray smoke is rushing at her and flowing around. However, it is scared off by an invisible demon at approximately a meter from where Lin Luoran is standing.
What? Why the gray smoke can't get any closer to her?
She is nothing different from anyone else…except for the bead on her waist!
Tied on her waist, the mysterious bead is quiet and glimmering a little. Lin Luoran discovers that the glimmer has formed a one-meter dome around her. She chuckles for figuring out another effect of it.
If the green smoke is the essence or Reiki of plants, the gray smoke must be the fug of the world. Living in the fug, no wonder so many more weird new diseases appear as the technology develops.
Back in the old time when plants cover a great part of the planet, there must be green smoke everywhere. Just from this point, it certainly is the time to yearn for.
Wandering in her reverie, Lin Luoran remembers her previous intention after a while.
She grabs a glass from the table and brings herself back into that mysterious space.
When she went there last night, she just felt that the air is clearer. Now, her body is renewed to be extremely sensitive to Reiki. As soon as she comes in, the comfortableness almost makes her moan.
The space looks very different from last night.
The green smoke around the strong grass in Lin Luoran's memory is thicker than that around the entire tall hibiscus, and the green smoke around the sapling which bore a fruit last night is almost entitative.
The spring looks even bluer in her eyes.
What's more important is that there is not a single wisp of gray smoke in this space.
Green smoke with various thickness circles grass and tree, and blue smoke flows over the spring. Is it the diverse nature of things in the world?
Right. According to the five elements, plant is wood and spring is water. Exactly!
Lin Luoran suddenly understands. She fills the glass cup with spring water and heads out. The sapling beside the pond catches her sight. It did have worked hard to bear that red fruit last night. Therefore, Lin Luoran pours half a glass of water on it.
Spring water seeps into the soil and is absorbed by the sapling. Meanwhile, the green smoke around it gets thicker as the sapling itself becomes more lively.
Lin Luoran is satisfied and gets out of the space with half a glass of water.
The fleet flower almost droops down to the ground, very unhappy with its master's slow move. Lin Luoran carefully pours the water into the pot.
As it absorbs the water, green smoke around the veins of the fleet flower gets thicker and prevails the gray smoke.
Lin Luoran bets that she is not hallucinating. After "drinking" half glass of spring water, the dying fleet flower is rapidly becoming vivid.
She thinks that it also grows taller a little bit.
Lin Luoran rubs her eyes. Even in the second, the fleet flower grows another little bit!
God! The spring water is more effective than any other fertilizers!
Lin Luoran is pleased. She looks at the fleet flower like it is a stack of money. She has always been self-restraint, but smile crawls all over her face right now.
She urges to try out her ability. Holding the pot, Lin Luoran transports into the space.
The dirty pot doesn't match the neat and clear space at all.
Therefore, Lin Luoran pulls the fleet flower out of the pot. The plant in her hands is three times bigger than it was back when she first picked it up, which all thanks to the spring water. Lin Luoran plans to transplant the fleet flower in the space. However, she has no way to get into the periphery of the log cabin and the whole space is covered by tall grass. Where should she plant her fleet flower?
Looking around this peaceful space, Lin Luoran realizes there is much for her to do.
She takes a spatula as the shovel.
Lin Luoran uproots the grass. A while later, a one meter square medicine field is prepared near the spring. She also picks some pebbles and makes an isolation belt around it.
Lin Luoran plants the fleet flower right in the middle of the field and sticks a thin bamboo pole for it to cling to. The gray smoke that used to surround its leaves has long been cleared up by the space, and all that left around the fleet flower is thin green smoke.
The medicine field is fairly small. It is not that Lin Luoran has got lazy. Although the soil is soft and fertile, the roots of the grass are strong beyond her expectation. They hold on to the soil and won't come out.
It takes Lin Luoran a great effort to open up this medicine field and plants the fleet flower which bears her hope.
Checking on her achievements, Lin Luoran shows a satisfied smile.
Having her messy bed in mind, Lin Luoran stops to giggle and transports out of the space.
It's two o'clock in the afternoon. Will she be in time to run an errand? Lin Luoran wonders. She neatly packs the dirty sheet and quilt, as well as her sweaty clothes, preparing to throw them away as she goes out.
Even they can be cleaned, Lin Luoran doesn't ever want to wear these greasy and smelly clothes!
