Chapter 11 Lightning strikes the wood, the treasurer fishes the corpse
"Why are you going?"
In this turbulent situation, I didn't dare to let this kid go crazy. He also knew that his behavior was a bit abrupt. He turned around and waved to me with a sneaky smile on his face, which looked very wretched. He left
I was in a hurry, so I took three steps and two steps at a time. I turned around and greeted Mr. Wan San, saying that I should go and take a look and come back in a while. Mr. Wan San nodded and said to go quickly and come back.
I walked into the peach blossom forest. It was already the cold winter in December. The branches were lonely and slanted, without leaves or flowers, making the forest look very bleak. There were fallen leaves and rotten fruits in the forest, which were soft and soft when stepped on.
It made me feel insecure, fearing that I would fall into the pit of countless dead people again.
Farther away, I saw several moving black shadows jumping on the top of the trees. Judging from their flexible appearance, they might be monkeys in the mountains.
Zamao Trail stood in front of a peach tree with a thick trunk, waiting for my arrival.
Compared with its neighbors, this peach tree appears to be extraordinarily thick and tall, and it seems to be very old. There are no plants within a radius of six or seven meters. Of course, this is not its biggest feature. What is in front of me is a full-body peach tree.
It was pitch black, and the tree crown fell from above, revealing the dark red stubble of the peach tree. Looking at such a miserable appearance, could it be... that it was struck by lightning?
I remembered that when I stayed at a farmhouse last night, I saw several lightning flashes in the direction of Heizhugou, shining in the dark night.
Because of Little Demon Duoduo, I know some of the secrets of how plants and trees become spirits: Generally speaking, thunder and lightning, as the most powerful and yang energy form in the sky, will not fall on the earth at will unless it is on the ground.
There is something guiding. What is it? The building stands tall, and naturally there is an iron lightning rod. Why was this big tree struck by lightning? Because of spiritual energy. The plants and trees eat the wind and drink the dew, and look at the moon and tides, and occasionally have spiritual awareness.
If you do this, you will be able to generate some consciousness. These may be just bioelectrical reactions, but when accumulated to a certain extent, you will be able to learn to think and start self-cultivation based on the nature of this creature to "seek advantages and avoid disadvantages".
This is "spirit", another life form that transcends the plant body.
However, the way of heaven is clear and has its own laws of operation. This life form does not follow the laws of genetic inheritance and mutation that are as slow as thousands or ten thousand years like human beasts, so it is not favored by God.
, so how to eradicate this life form that does not belong to the human world? That is the punishment of thunder. Whenever there is a thunderstorm, the thunder and lightning will be like the patrol carriage of the gods. Whenever it senses these auras, it will rain down a thunder and lightning.
Come and destroy his consciousness.
Therefore, generally speaking, trees struck by lightning are spirits that have begun to show signs of awakening.
Although this type of tree has been struck by lightning and its consciousness has disappeared, there are always some good things left on it that can be used by knowledgeable people. What's even more coincidental is that the tree that was struck turned out to be a peach tree.
! "Taiping Yulan" once said: "Peach is the essence of the five trees. In ancient times, it suppressed evil spirits. This fairy tree is also the essence of peach wood. It can control all ghosts at the gate of ghosts. Therefore, peach wood swords are made today to suppress evil spirits.
This is the magic." According to legend, the ancient great power Hou Yi, who shot the sun, was killed by a peach wood stick. This thing has always had the magical effect of dispelling evil, and it is also the standard equipment of Maoshan Taoist priests.
However, where is it so easy to find a useful peach wood sword? The most effective peach wood sword in Feicheng, Shandong Province. The old and good materials have been customized, but the ordinary ones have no good effect.
Lightning strikes peach wood. If you can use this to make a peach wood sword, it must be an excellent magical weapon.
No wonder Zamao Xiaodao was so excited. The peach wood sword he brought from home was lost in Qingshan Realm. Later, the cheap peach wood sword he made hastily broke into the mouth of Deaf Luo's zombie in Zhongyang Village. He never made another one.
How could he not be overjoyed when he never had a weapon at his disposal?
I couldn't help but think of my uncle's lightning-strike jujube sword. Although his sword was a six-turn lightning strike, as hard as iron, the lightning strike was caused by iron needles bound artificially to induce lightning. It was not natural, so it might still be
It's even worse. What's more, jujube wood is hard and can be used to subdue demons, while peach wood can ward off evil spirits and can be used to drive away ghosts. Both have their own merits - but I wonder how many times this peach tree has been struck by lightning?
This peach tree is as thick as a strong man's waist, and its surface is as black as charcoal. The hairy paths are all rubbed together, as if there is a naked and seductive beauty in front of it, with an uncontrollable smile on her face. She greets me and says, "Little Poison,"
Let's see if we can get out the remaining tree core inside.
The tiger cat landed from the sky on the dark branch. However, as soon as its claws fell, it immediately fell to the ground as if it was electrocuted.
We hurried over to pick it up, and it cursed for a while, and then said with fear that it was really hot. Thank you for my strong spirit, otherwise I would have burped from the electric shock just now. Look at this, it seems like yesterday
I was struck by seven lightning strikes!
Seventh-turn lightning strike? The smiles on our faces were extremely bright.
We each have a thick-backed machete in our hands. It seems a bit reluctant to use it for cutting wood, but it can't stop the enthusiasm of the two of us. The mixed hair trail is like taking Viagra, and the stubble is cut off from there.
We started and started slashing at the carbonized trees. After we tinkered for a while, Zhao Zhonghua came over and looked at the two-meter-long peach wood trunk we had repaired. He was very surprised and asked, "Are you two going out?"
Damn it, one found rare medicinal materials on the roadside, and the other actually saw this rare lightning-struck peach wood... smack!
He expressed his envy, while Zamao Xiaodao looked stingy and said that if lightning strikes a peach tree, the thunder will only remain in the palm-sized core of the tree. Don't expect me to divide you. Zhao Zhonghua laughed and cursed.
Damn it, if it's a fairy vine, I'll have to grind it with you. What's the use of this peach wood?
The shopkeeper uses a red rope, but if you give him a sword, he really can't do it.
After he said this, he looked at the two of us who were still preparing to cut this piece of wood into embryos. He did not bother us and said that everyone had begun to settle there, and then looked around for that daredevil named Wan Chaoan. What are you doing?
Go there as soon as possible, otherwise you will give the old man the impression that he is not working hard, and be careful of the old man stumbling upon you.
I can’t believe it, right? How can the old man be so narrow-minded?
Zhao Zhonghua did not dare to speak ill of his master, so he shook his head and left. I was worried about the condition of my hand and wanted to follow him, but I was caught by Zamao Xiaodao. He said that you also believe what the shabby shopkeeper said, Wan Sanye has to
Taoist master, your heart is like a bright mirror, how can you remember this? I think it's probably Zhao Zhonghua who pretended to pass on the imperial edict and came here to grab labor. But with so many people, the place is only so big, and there are two more people.
Two people missing, the same thing!
What Zamao Xiaodao said made sense, so I worked with him to peel off the charcoal outer skin of the cut wood and carefully take out the core along the veins of the tree. Another forty minutes passed in this way.
In the end, we peeled off a dark red wooden stick five feet three inches long and two inches in diameter from the whole tree. There was an eye-like figure in the center, showing a color like blood. When you touch it, there is something
A numb electric current came. Zamao Xiaodao took out a white cloth bag from the Qiankun bag and wrapped it in the middle.
When we walked down the meadow from the peach forest on the hill, we found a blazing bonfire in front of the tent. Yang Jin, who had been bitten on the thigh, was placed next to the bonfire. Xiaojun was boiling water and taking care of him.
Li Tangcheng was looking through something, while the mature and steady Wan Yong added firewood to the campfire while making lunch for everyone.
The three-barreled shotgun was not far from his hand. I guess if he stayed here, he had some intention of keeping an eye on the three of them.
Seeing us walking down holding wooden sticks, Wan Yong greeted us. I walked to the campfire, squatted down and looked, and saw white bubbles popping out of the pot, and the smell of meat was overflowing.
He put it aside and asked what was cooking in it. Wan Yong said it was some dried meat and glutinous rice cakes, as well as some mushrooms and wild onions that he had just brought from the forest. He had not originally planned to cook these, but now that the fire was lit,
If you have a pot, make some broth to drink. It will not make you choke when you eat dry food, and it will also warm your stomach.
I asked how the search went. Wan Yong sighed and said that he divided into two groups to look for it. He came back just now and said that he couldn't find it. He might have to climb over that bridge... Alas, Chao'an, a little bastard, won't let you go.
It's a worry-free thing. I'm so tired that my third grandfather is over seventy years old and I still have to worry about him. I stood up and said that you are in your fifties and sixties and your body and bones can't bear it. I'll go over there and look for him.
He stopped me and said there was no rush, dinner would be served soon, and they would be back soon, so they would go after dinner.
I saw that he was serious, so I sat down and chatted with him. After talking for a while, Zamao Xiaodao asked Li Tangcheng how he wanted to come here to make a fortune? With his life and death experience just now, Li Tangcheng did not hide it, saying that they bought it on the black market.
An ancient book recorded that there was a large tomb in the Heizhugou area of Badong, so I came to take a look. As a result, they, a group of foxes who specialize in the feng shui of yin houses, immediately saw the mystery, and after searching for several days, they finally determined the location.
I dug for a long time yesterday, but it rained. I dug a hole again in the morning, and I was ready to go in and take a look, but I didn't know that something like this happened...
Li Tangcheng couldn't help lamenting, saying that if he hadn't been responsible for the antique appraisal work, he might have died in the cave.
While they were talking, Zhao Zhonghua and Wan Chaoxin walked over from the direction near the stream. The two of them worked together to carry a body. It was a bit difficult to walk. When Wan Yong saw it, the spoon in the pot couldn't help but fall down.
We stood up and looked over, our bodies trembling. We all stood up. Could this body be the escaped child of the Wan family?
