Chapter 65 Chapter 11 Lightning Strikes Trees, Fishing for Corpse from the Shopkeeper’s River

"Why are you going?" In this turbulent situation, I dare not let this kid go crazy.He also knew that his behavior was a bit abrupt, so he turned his head and waved at me with a sneaky smile on his face, looking very obscene.He walked in a hurry, three steps and two steps at a time, I turned my head to say hello to Mr. Wan, and said to go over and have a look, and come over later, Mr. Wan nodded, saying to go and come back quickly. I walked into the peach blossom forest, it is already December and winter, the branches in the forest are lonely and slanting, without leaves and flowers, it looks very bleak.The forest is full of fallen leaves and rotten fruits, which are limp when I step on them, which makes me feel insecure, for fear that I will fall into the pit of countless bones again.

Farther away, I saw a few moving black shadows jumping on the top of the tree. Looking at their flexible appearance, they might be monkeys in the mountains. The miscellaneous hair path stood in front of a peach tree with a thick trunk, waiting for my arrival. Compared with its neighbors, this peach tree is extraordinarily thick, and the tree seems to be older, and there are no plants in a radius of six or seven meters.Of course, this is not its biggest feature. In front of me is a peach tree whose whole body is pitch-black, the crown has fallen from the top, and the dark red stubble is exposed. Look at this embarrassing appearance, could it be... struck by lightning split?

I remembered that when I stayed at the farmhouse last night, I saw several lightning flashes in the direction of Heizhugou, shining in the night sky. Because of the relationship between the little demon Duoduo, I also know some secrets of the essence of vegetation: Generally speaking, thunder and lightning, as the most rigid and yang energy form in the sky, will not fall on the earth at will, unless it is on the ground. Something is guiding.What is it?The building stands tall, so there is naturally an iron lightning rod, but why is this big tree struck by lightning?Because of the aura.Eat the wind and drink the dew, look at the tide of the moon, and the occasional person with spiritual sense can produce a little consciousness. These may be just bioelectric reactions, but when they accumulate to a certain extent, they can learn to think, and according to the biological " The nature of "seeking advantages and avoiding disadvantages" began to practice self-cultivation.

This is the "spirit", another life form beyond the plant itself. However, the way of heaven is clear, and it has its own laws of operation. This kind of life form does not follow the law of genetic inheritance and mutation, which is slow to a time unit of thousands or ten thousand years, like human beasts, so it is not favored by heaven. , so how to eradicate this form of life that does not belong to the human world?That would require the punishment of thunder.Whenever there is a thunderstorm, the thunder and lightning are like a carriage patrolled by the gods. When a little spiritual energy is sensed, a thunder and lightning will be sent down to destroy their consciousness.

Therefore, generally speaking, the trees struck by lightning are spirits that have begun to show signs of awakening. Although this kind of tree was struck by lightning and lost its spiritual consciousness, there are always some good things left on it, which can be used by knowledgeable people. What's more coincident is that the tree that was split was actually a peach tree! "Taiping Yulan" once said: "Peach is the essence of five trees. In ancient times, it suppressed evil spirits. Immortal art." According to legend, the ancient great power, that is, the Houyi who shot the sun, was killed by a mahogany stick. This object has always had the magical effect of dispelling evil spirits, and it is also the standard equipment of Taoist priests in Maoshan.

However, where is the peach wood sword that works so easy to find?The most effective peach wood in Feicheng, Shandong, has already been reserved for old and good materials.Ordinary doesn't do much good. Lightning strikes mahogany, if it can be used to make a mahogany sword, it must be a good magic weapon. No wonder Zamao Xiaodao was excited. The mahogany sword he brought from home was lost in Qingshanjie, and then the cheap mahogany sword that he made hastily was folded in the mouth of Luo Deafzi's zombie in Zhongyang Village, and he never bought it again. , There has been no weapon at hand.Now, how could he not be ecstatic?

I couldn't help but think of my third uncle's lightning-strike jujube sword. Although his is said to be a six-turn lightning strike, it is as hard as iron, but the lightning strike is caused by artificial binding of iron needles, which is caused by lightning, and it is not natural. To be worse.What's more, jujube wood is hard and can be used to bring down demons; peach wood can ward off evil spirits and can be used to drive away ghosts. This mahogany is as thick as the waist of a strong man, and its skin is black as charcoal. The mottled hairs rubbed their hands together, as if in front of them was a naked and seductive beauty, with an uncontrollable smile on his face, greeted me, said little poison, we Take a look and see if you can get out the remaining tree core inside.

The tiger cat landed on the dark branch from the sky, but as soon as its bird claws fell, it immediately fell to the ground like an electric shock. We hurried over to pick it up, it cursed loudly, and then said with fear that it was really hot, thankfully my lord was strong, otherwise I would have burped for the electric shock just now.Look at this appearance, it seems that it was struck by seven lightning bolts yesterday! Seventh turn lightning strike?The smiles on our faces are brilliant. We each have a thick-backed machete in our hands. It seems a bit reluctant to use it for logging, but it can't stop our enthusiasm. The miscellaneous hair trail is like taking Viagra, and the strength is bursting. Start from the stubble, He slashed at the carbonized tree.We tinkered for a while, Zhao Zhonghua found it, looked at the two-meter-long mahogany torso we repaired, was very surprised, and said: "Did you two go out and step on dog shit, one was found by the side of the road Rare medicinal materials, one actually saw this rare lightning-struck mahogany... Tsk tsk!"

He expressed his envy, and Zamao Xiaodao said with a stingy face, "This peach tree struck by lightning, the thunder power will only remain in the palm-sized core. Don't expect me to divide you." Zhao Zhonghua lost his temper with a smile. , cursed and said: "Damn it, if it's a fairy vine, I'll have to grind it with you. What use will I use this peach tree?" The shopkeeper uses a red rope, so if you give him a sword, he really can't do it. After he finished speaking, he looked at the two of us who were about to cut out this piece of wood, without disturbing us, and said: "Everyone has already started to settle there, and then looked around for that daredevil named Wan Chaoan, Hurry over after you're done, or if you give the old man the impression that you don't work hard, be careful that the old man will trip you up."

I can't believe it, can't I?Is the old man so narrow-minded? Zhao Zhonghua didn't dare to speak ill of his master, so he shook his head and left.I was worried about the illness in my hand, and wanted to follow, but I was caught by the miscellaneous hair path, and you would believe what the shabby shopkeeper said, Wan Sanye is a master of Taoism, and his heart is as bright as a bright mirror, how can I remember these things? ?I think it's probably Zhao Zhonghua who falsely preached the imperial decree and came here to grab the labor.But there are so many people, and the place is only so big, there are two more people and two less people, it looks the same!

Miscellaneous Mao Xiaodao made sense, so I told him to peel off the charcoal skin of the cut wood with peace of mind, and carefully take out the core of the tree along the veins of the tree.After another forty minutes like this, we finally stripped the whole peach tree into a dark red wooden stick five feet three inches long and two inches in diameter. Ordinary color, when you touch it with your hands, there is a crisp current coming from it.Zamao Xiaodao took out a white cloth bag from the Qiankun bag and wrapped it in the middle. When we walked from the peach grove on the hill to Caodianzi, we found a raging bonfire in front of the tent. Yang Jin, who had his thigh bitten, was placed beside the bonfire. Xiaojun took care of him while boiling water, while Li Tangcheng While looking at something, the mature and prudent Wan Yong added firewood to the campfire to make lunch for everyone. The three-barreled shotgun was not far away from him, and if he stayed here, he meant to keep an eye on the three of them. Seeing us walking down with sticks in our arms, Wan Yong greeted us. I walked to the campfire and squatted down to look at it. I saw white bubbles bubbling in the pot, and the smell of meat was overflowing.Zamao Xiaodao put the wooden stick aside and asked what was cooking in it. Wan Yong said: "It's all dried meat and glutinous rice cakes, as well as some mushrooms and wild onions that I just picked up from the forest. I didn't plan to get these Yes, but since we have a fire and a pot, we can make some broth to drink, so we don’t choke so much when eating dry food, and it also warms our stomach.” I asked people how to find it?Wan Yong sighed and said that he divided into two groups to look for it. He came back just now and said that he didn't find it. He might have to go over that beam... Alas, Chaoan, a bastard, is not easy to worry about when he was young, and he was so tired. His third grandfather is over seventy years old, and he still has to worry about him.I stood up and said that you are also in your fifties and sixties, and your bones can't take it anymore, so I will go over there to look for it. He stopped me, saying that there was no rush, dinner would be served soon, and they were coming back too, so they would go after dinner. Seeing that he was serious, I sat down and chatted with him.After talking for a while, Zamao Xiaodao asked Li Tangcheng why he came here to make a fortune?With the life and death experience just now, Li Tangcheng did not hide it, saying that they bought an ancient book on the black market, which recorded that there was a large tomb in the Heizhugou area of ​​Padang, so they came to have a look.As a result, they, a group of foxes who specialize in feng shui in shady houses, saw the mystery of it all at once. After searching for a few days, they finally settled on the place. They dug for a long time yesterday, but it rained. They dug the robbery hole again in the morning, and were going to go in and have a look. I didn't know that something like this happened... Li Tangcheng couldn't help lamenting, saying that if he hadn't been in charge of antique appraisal, he might have died in the cave. Just as they were talking, Zhao Zhonghua and Wan Chaoxin walked over from the direction of the stream. The two of them worked together to lift a dead body, and it was a bit difficult to walk.Wan Yong saw that the stirring spoon in the pot couldn't help but fell down, stood up and looked over, his body trembling.We all stood up, could it be that this corpse is the Wan family's escaped child?
