Chapter 54: Finding Lightning and Striking Wood
"It's finally here" Xiao Yu sat on the ground panting, looked up at the cliff that couldn't be seen, and couldn't help but say, "It's so high, even if there is a peach tree, you can't see it!" ”
Xiaoqiang floated out of the umbrella, looked at the towering cliff and said, "Brother Yu, this mountain is really high, will there be other monsters living in it?"
"Youkai? It depends on what kind of monster you are talking about, ordinary monsters like butterfly demons, maybe it's possible, but as long as you have cultivated for five hundred years, you have basically turned into a human form and gone to the world to cultivate! Some people become Taoist priests, some become businessmen, and experience the joy of being a human being, and it is estimated that you will meet them in the future."
After resting for a while, Xiao Yu took out the talisman and prepared to call the mountain god, after all, it was impossible to go back like this, even if he failed, he had to give it a try.
Lighting the talisman, Xiao Yu circled around the river, wanting to see if there were any treasures, but after turning around, he didn't find anything! After all, people often come to this canyon, and even if there are treasures, they will have already been picked up.
"Dao Chief, why did you come here?" Just as Xiaoyu was looking around, the mountain god rat came out of nowhere.
Seeing the mountain god mouse, Xiao Yu immediately told Caidie the news to him, and then hurriedly asked, "The peach tree, where do you know it?" ”
"The peach tree that was struck by thunder, Caidie told you, right?" The mouse asked, lying on the ground.
"Yes, I want to make a peachwood sword, so I want to use lightning to strike wood, what's the matter, Caidie didn't tell you?"
"Caidie didn't say, but the peach tree grows on the cliff, ordinary people can't see it, except for her, I don't believe anyone else will find out" The mouse didn't hide it, and then said, "It's just that the peach tree has been cultivated into a spirit body, let him take out a piece of lightning strike wood, it is estimated that it is more difficult than killing him!" ”
Plant cultivation is not easy than birds and beasts, and after he has experienced the heavenly tribulation, he also cherishes his life more, and the lightning strike wood has become the most precious thing on their body, and the average Taoist priest wants to get it, so after experiencing the heavenly tribulation, the plant will go to an inaccessible place to cultivate, and ordinary people can't find it at all.
"I've thought of this too, you try it first, if it doesn't work, I'm thinking of other ways" Xiao Yu sat on the ground and said.
Xiao Yu also knew the importance of the lightning strike wood to the plant spirit body, originally he still thought that if the other party did not agree, then he would kill it directly and take the lightning strike wood, but now that he saw it, unless he wanted the ability to soar the clouds, he should not even think about it.
Moreover, this spirit body has gone through the thunder tribulation, which is equivalent to having the qualification to cultivate, and in order to get the lightning strike wood, he directly killed the other party, which is also against the principles of heaven, so in the case of last resort, Xiao Yu will not do this.
"Then I'll try, but there's not much hope," the mouse replied, and turned and ran out of the way, merging into the mountain.
The rat is a mountain god and can enter any mountain, so these rocks are like entering his own yard without the slightest difficulty! But this can only be limited to the scope of his own jurisdiction, and if he leaves this mountainous area, he can only stare dryly.
The mouse left, Xiao Yu continued to explore the treasure in the canyon, but this time he really found something, in a corner of the riverbed, Xiao Yu found a turtle shell, the turtle shell is not big, only the size of an adult's palm, but the turtle shell is golden, the shell of the turtle is generally black, if it is a golden shell, it means that the turtle has lived for at least two hundred years.
Turtle shells are also used by Taoists, but most people use them for divination! It is to put the copper coin in it, and then shake it out, and see the arrangement of the copper coin, which is used to test the good luck and evil.
However, Xiao Yu knew that there was a kind of Maoshan Taoism called psychic, which could be used as a medium by a turtle shell, and the Psychic Xuanwu Emperor! Xuanwu is the general name of the seven houses in the north, Taoism attaches great importance to the worship of the stars, called "Nandou is born, Beidou is dead", all people from the date of reincarnation, from the Nandou to the Beidou, people's lives and deaths are dominated by the Beidou, therefore, people pray for longevity, must worship the Xuanwu Emperor.
As long as the turtle shell is treated in a special way, and then placed in a place with sufficient spiritual energy, with the blessing of the spirit array, the turtle shell will become a magic weapon, which has the purpose of driving away evil spirits and avoiding disasters, and can also be placed at home, meaning longevity.
"Hehe, if there is no lightning strike wood, it would be good to get this thing" Xiao Yu smiled from ear to ear at this time, and looked the turtle shell up and down a few times, and then put it on a big stone.
"Brother Yu, a turtle shell, what's so funny?" Xiaoqiang floated out of the umbrella and asked curiously.
Xiao Yu smiled mysteriously: "This is not an ordinary turtle shell!" A turtle that has lived for two hundred years, can his shell be an ordinary thing? ”
This turtle shell can appear here, eighty percent of it is rushed out of the cave, the cave is very deep, although the villagers used to go to enjoy the coolness, but really did not go in carefully to see! Because the people in the village say that it is a dragon cave, there is a dragon king to live, if the dragon king is disturbed, the village will either be flooded, or there will be a drought, so the cave is still mysterious.
A two-hundred-year-old turtle is estimated to be a lot in the sea, but on land, it is basically rare now, and the turtle shells used by many Taoists are turtle shells that are more than ten years old, or decades, and the spiritual blessing is average.
After getting the turtle shell, Xiao Yu was in a good mood and looked around carefully, but this time he found nothing, and at this moment, the mouse ran out of a crack in the stone.
Seeing that the mouse was empty-handed, Xiao Yu understood in his heart, and immediately comforted, "It's okay, it's a big deal to go back and find a willow wood, and I'll find it after the lightning strikes the wood."
The rat ran to the river and took a sip of water, then said, "It's not a failure!" It's just that this peach tree has just been robbed by thunder, and his body is relatively weak, and now he has shed the lightning strike wood on his body, and it is estimated that he will also have to die! So he said he would give him decades to recuperate."
"Decades? I guess I'm getting old! Xiao Yu pursed his lips and continued, "Forget it, let's talk about it later, this matter depends on chance, and I can't be in a hurry."
After speaking, Xiao Yu hugged the turtle shell that had been dried, and was about to go back, but was stopped by the mouse shouting, "Don't worry, Dao Chief, this peach tree spirit does have difficulties, don't blame him!" I am in charge of the mountains and forests, but I know that there is a rotten tree, which is also a peach tree, but the tree is too long, and many places have been eaten by insects, but you can try your luck and see if the heart of the tree is rotten, if the heart of the tree can be used, it is much better than this peach tree essence."
"Rotten wood, how big, where is it?" Xiao Yu was in his spirits when he heard this, and hurriedly asked.
The mouse scratched his ears and said, "It's quite big anyway, it's in the boar hole in the mountain."
Children who grow up in the mountains basically know what wild boars are, and Xiao Yu's apple orchard is often visited by wild boars, so he is still relatively familiar with this thing, but where is the wild boar hole that the mouse said, Xiao Yu really hasn't heard of it.
"Boar Cave, why don't I know this place, when did I find it?" Xiao Yu asked suspiciously.
"Well, in fact, I said this wild boar cave, because there are more than a dozen wild boar families living in it, so I call him the wild boar cave," the mouse explained.
