The news came to us from a Burmese native who was just an ordinary worker on a small salary, so as soon as the news of our high price for exotic wood spread, he got his mind.

But he didn't bring the wood, because he couldn't take it off, and he told me that there was a very high cliff next to his village, and there were many trees growing on top of the cliff, and every year during the thunderstorm season, the cliff would be struck by lightning, and then the trees would die and wait for the next year when the seeds would fall, and then grow again, and so on.

But there are always accidents, one of the trees has grown for many years, has been struck by lightning many times, the branches are scarred, and there are a lot of dead branches and leaves, but after thunderstorms, it always sends out young shoots, which is known to many people in their village.

When we heard the news, we were overjoyed and immediately paid the guy a good sum of money and asked him to take us to that place.

Half a day later, we came to this indigenous village, but things did not go so well, and the indigenous village did not let me pick the tree after hearing about it, and it was also called the sacred tree of their village.

For this result, Zhang Fatzi was prepared, pulled out a lot of things from the car, gave them as gifts, and then gave a little money to each person, and soon, they treated us as VIPs.

"A village of less than two hundred people, you spent less than 30,000 yuan in total, if this is really more than six stages of lightning strike wood, then this time it is indeed a big profit. ”

I smiled and said to Zhang Fatzi, more than six lightning strikes are worth at least one million yuan, and now, Zhang Fatzi spent less than 30,000 yuan, which is still the reason for his generosity.

"Don't talk nonsense, hurry up, these guys don't know the goods, but there are so many people here who know the goods, if they get the news, it won't be so easy to dismiss"

"Understand, go, go up the mountain"

I smiled, don't underestimate Myanmar, there are so many shrewd businessmen, if they knew, they would definitely cause more trouble.

After half a day, we came to the edge of a cliff, which was tens of meters high, and at a glance, it looked like an abyss, and there were indeed many traces of lightning strikes on the cliff.

"Fat Zhang, you are guarding here, I will go down personally, be careful, understand"

"Don't worry, you're not a newcomer"

Zhang Fatzi patted his waist, there was a guy hidden in it, he was also afraid that these natives would kill the killers, and when they went out, how could they not guard against it.

I nodded, and the old rivers and lakes were fine, and then, I took the rope equipment, found a tree to tie it, and then slowly slid down.

The people in the village had already told me the approximate location, so I soon found the lightning strike wood, but when I looked closely, I was deeply shocked.

Because I felt an extremely strong vitality, the tree in front of me, I don't know what specific kind, grew crookedly, and the tree was covered with traces of lightning strikes and fires, and each lightning strike brought enough flames to burn the tree to death once.

But it still came to life, from the ashes, from the wound to sprout and grow again, and then again and again after being struck by lightning, it grew again and again.

Why is the welcome pine of Huangshan so high-profile and respected, it is precisely because it grows on the cliff, the situation is extremely difficult, but it is still catching up, never giving in, this is a kind of spirit, hard work, tenacity, breaking through the bottom line of life, this is the spirit of praise, the spirit of respect.

I haven't personally seen the welcome pine of Huangshan, but at this time, I feel that this tree is more admirable than the welcome pine, and even makes me a little reluctant to take it down.

"Jin Yang, what are you doing, find out, hurry up"

"Good"

There was a fat man's urging on the intercom, and I came back to my senses.

"Tree, tree, I'm sorry, I'm very reluctant, but I need you urgently now, I hope you don't blame me, I only take your torso, I hope it won't hurt your life"

I said a word to the tree, and then I swung my knife to cut it down, but this knife cut down, but it shook my mouth, this tree is so hard, this knife shook off the dead surface on the outside, revealing the trunk inside.

"I'm sorry"

I continued to chop hard, and it took a lot of effort to cut it down, and the tree was very small, less than a meter high, and I cut down this section of about fifty or sixty centimeters, and after the cut, I threw the knife directly, because it was already wasted, and it was all notched.

"It's so strong vitality, it's so powerful, let's go, go back, I have to deal with it, otherwise the yang energy will be exhausted, and the effect will be greatly reduced"

After going up, Zhang Fatzi looked at this section of the trees, and immediately gasped, and then, we immediately rushed back to Zhang Fatzi's house.

Zhang Fatzi came out after a long time, sweating profusely, Liu Laodao and I went in to take a look, the surface of the wood has not changed, but I can feel that the strong vitality has been sealed and will not leak out.

"The diameter is eight centimeters, the length is fifty-four centimeters, but the weight has reached more than ten catties, this density is beyond the scope of science, it can only be not very straight, otherwise you can make a magic sword, better than any peach wood sword, it is definitely the level of Zhenshan Zhibao"

"Two questions, first, what kind of tree species is this, and second, how many segments of the lightning strike wood reached"

"I don't know the tree species, and I'm not a professional, there are thousands of tree species in the world, where do you know so much, and I'm not a plant expert, as for a few paragraphs, I took a look at the lightning strike marks on the body of the tree, nine paragraphs"

"What, Kudan, doesn't that mean this thing is priceless?"

"Nonsense, if it weren't for the ninth paragraph, could you make it a magic weapon for the treasure of Zhenshan, you kid remember, make it clear when you go back to that person, exchange it for the soul-nourishing wood according to the weight, one catty for three catties, and bring the rest back, I will help you dispose of it, and when I go back, I will definitely sell it to you for a sky-high price."

"One pound for three pounds, you profiteer"

I smiled bitterly, the weight of the soul nourishing wood is also much heavier than the ordinary wood, and the previous palm-sized piece was more than a catty, but one to three, this is also a bit dark, and it is estimated that Mr. Na An can't take half of it.

"What kind of profiteer, the soul nourishing wood is rare, but there are still some to find, but you can find this nine-stage lightning strike wood for me, don't think that we will find it in a few days, that is our fate, luck, otherwise you can wait and try again, and see if you can wait for a year and a half"

Zhang Fatzi scoffed, we seem to be simple here, we found it in a few days, but this involves a problem of probability, just like waiting for a rabbit, accidentally, a rabbit crashed into death in front of you, but how big is the probability of this, you will know it for another year and a half.

"Mr. Zhang is right, this is indeed a matter of fate, let's go back to China as soon as possible."

"Hey, don't, don't be in such a hurry, I've finally come to a few friends, I'll entertain you again"

"No, let's do it first, I'll come to play with you after I'm done, and then we'll go into Savage Mountain to play, I'm very interested."

"What's so fun about that place, it's hot and dangerous, and there are big locusts, don't go"

"Haha, okay, you can arrange it then"

I laughed and said, then, we packed our things, and then went back to the country, we came out secretly, and we went back secretly, especially now with the nine-stage lightning strike wood, this is simply a big treasure, but be careful.

Fortunately, there was nothing to do on the road, and we quickly returned to Mr. An's side, but did not contact him immediately, but found a place to stay.

"Old man, do you have any use for this lightning strike wood, it's amazing, it can heat up when you hold it, it's really the opposite of the soul nourishing wood, one to yin and one to yang"

"Let's make a dagger, more than ten centimeters is enough, this kind of dagger is very effective in pressing the array, and it is extremely sharp against demons and monsters, just look at Chen Menghan."

I smiled, it's really, since I took this lightning strike wood, Chen Menghan doesn't like to stay on me, these days it's all in Liu Laodao's hands, get closer, she feels uncomfortable, if she smokes a stick, it is estimated that her soul will be scattered.

"Okay, let's go find Mr. An."

"Okay, I'll contact him"

Liu Laodao nodded, and then went to contact Mr. An, and half an hour later, Mr. An came in a hurry.

"Where's the lightning strike, hurry up, show me"

"Mr. Ahn, please see"

"Hiss"

As soon as Mr. An saw the lightning strike wood, he immediately gasped, his eyes straightened, and he couldn't leave the lightning strike wood at all, like the eyes of a hungry ghost who had been hungry for several days saw food.

Mr. An trembled his hand to grab the lightning strike wood, the moment he touched it, he even trembled, he held the lightning strike wood in his arms, and stroked it gently, as if he was holding a beautiful girl in his arms, extremely excited.

"Good, good, really good, nine-dan, really nine-stage lightning strike wood"

Mr. An counted the lines on the lightning strike wood, which were all traces caused by the lightning strike, and there was no way to fake it, and the connoisseur could see it at a glance.

"Okay, Mr. An, you can talk about the price, this nine-stage lightning strike wood is much more precious than the soul nourishing wood."

I silently took the lightning strike wood back, and then said to Mr. An.

"Okay, no problem, you can open the price as you like"

"According to the value, one pound for three pounds, and the rest will be returned to us"

"Oh, no, I want it all"

"Yes, this lightning strike wood weighs more than ten catties, you can take out thirty or forty catties of soul nourishing wood."

I said lightly, sure enough, Mr. Na An was stunned, although there are many soul nourishing woods from ebony, and one ebony may weigh hundreds of catties, but not every ebony can produce soul nourishing wood, often only a little.

Liu Laodao and I looked at Mr. Na An, his expression was very complicated, and even when we saw the hideousness and resentment, Liu Laodao and I slowly became vigilant.
