Seeing the appearance of Liu Laoqi and the others, my curiosity was immediately aroused.

As a tomb robber who has been fighting for decades, Liu Laoqi has never seen any priceless treasures, but at this moment, he is very excited because he picked up a piece of broken wood, which really makes people feel a little unbelievable.

Could it be that this piece of broken wood is also some priceless treasure? I thought secretly in my heart, and my feet moved involuntarily, standing behind Liu Laoqi.

I saw that after Liu Laoqi and others fished up the trunk, they immediately began to clean up the moss covered on the trunk. In just two or three minutes, the trunk of the tree, which was still covered with moss, gradually returned to its original appearance.

I leaned over to take a look, and my eyes straightened.

When all the moss was cleared, the trunk was exposed to the public.

The trunk of the tree, which was originally inconspicuous, has become extremely beautiful at this time. The color is bright red like blood, and what is even more amazing is that among these bright reds there are also circles and circles, and the number of tiny annual rings is completely uncountable.

Is this the finest mahogany? Seeing the appearance of this tree trunk, I couldn't help but secretly guess.

But if you think about it, it's not right, although I don't know much about mahogany, but I've seen it a few times before, and the work of the principal of our school is also done by mahogany.

The trunk is much more bright red than ordinary mahogany, and the never-before-seen white growth rings are also found in ordinary mahogany, which can never be ordinary mahogany.

At this time, Liu Laoqi took out a magnifying glass out of nowhere, knelt on his knees, and his entire upper body was about to crawl on the ground, concentrating on observing the trunk.

After a long time, Liu Laozi stood up, and the excited expression on his face was even more than before.

"Found it, found it...... After all these years, I finally found ...... But it's too late......" Liu Laoqi's spirit became a little trance, looking at the dead wood placed on the ground, and muttering to himself.

I looked from the side, and at this time, Liu Laoqi was talking to himself, and at the same time, two lines of old tears flowed from his cheeks.

I resisted the curiosity in my heart, and did not bother Liu Laoqi, but continued to look at this trunk that I had never seen before. Liu Laoqi must have known what this trunk was, but I could only wait for him to speak.

After a while, Liu Laoqi's mood gradually returned to normal, but his eyes were still stunned and still looking at the tree trunk on the ground.

Liu Laoqi, who originally raised his head and stood tall wherever he went, was leaning his back at the moment, and the whole person seemed to be dozens of years old in an instant.

"Nephew, come here." Liu Laoqi suddenly turned around and beckoned to me, saying.

"Uncle Seven, were you okay just now?" Hearing this, I immediately walked over and said a word to Liu Laoqi.

"It's okay, it's just that I suddenly remembered some unhappy past." Liu Laoqi shook his head, and then said, "Virtuous nephew, do you know what this tree trunk in front of me is?" ”

"I don't know, it's the first time I've seen such a beautiful tree, although it looks a little similar to mahogany, but there are many differences." I replied honestly.

I was curious about this kind of wood that I had never seen before. After all, many trees in this world have some unique colors and patterns, but if they have been soaked in the river for thousands of years without decaying, it is a bit unbelievable.

"Hehe, it's not surprising that you haven't seen this kind of tree, because I've only seen it once before, and my knowledge of it is limited to the dictation of a friend and a slightly rough record in an ancient book." Hearing my answer, Liu Laoqi said with a smile.

I didn't speak, and listened to Liu Laoqi continue to speak.

"The name of this tree is the Corpse Wheel Blood Tree, and it is not naturally formed, but artificially cultivated. To cultivate a corpse wheel blood tree is tantamount to a horrific massacre. Legend has it that burying the body of the tomb owner with the corpse wheel blood tree can ensure that the soul of the tomb owner is immortal, so this corpse wheel blood tree has another name, called soul nourishing wood. ”

"Since the Western Zhou Dynasty, there have been countless feudal dignitaries and nobles who have pursued immortality, and many people have tried every means to cultivate a corpse wheel blood tree. When the corpse chakra blood tree grows, it is possible to place it in the tomb or use the corpse chakra blood tree to make a bloody coffin. ”

"Seventh Uncle, how did this corpse wheel blood tree be cultivated?" I asked hurriedly as I flashed the murals I saw at the bottom of the pool.

"The ancient book I read says that in order to cultivate a corpse chakra blood tree, you must first find a locust tree and transplant it to a place where there is no sunlight all day long. In addition to this, it is watered with fresh blood every day. Remember, it's fresh human blood, not animal blood, and the corpses that have been drained of blood are buried in the surrounding dirt for nourishment. According to the book, these people who were kept in captivity to make nourishment for the corpse wheel blood tree were called tree slaves. ”

"Although there is no shortage of powerful princes and nobles in history, and the temptation of immortality is also very irresistible, in fact, not many people are willing to do such things. Without him, firstly, the success rate of cultivating the Corpse Wheel Blood Tree is extremely low, and it can only be relied on by luck, and secondly, this kind of thing is too damaging to Yin Virtue and will be a disaster for future generations. ”

And sure enough, it was!

Liu Laoqi's words confirmed my guess in my heart, this corpse wheel blood tree is indeed the kind of tree depicted on the mural at the bottom of the pool that sucks human blood and eats human flesh. The only thing I didn't expect was that the origin of this corpse wheel blood tree was so big, and it had something to do with the ethereal immortal technique.

Seeing that I didn't speak, Liu Laoqi thought that I was stunned by what he said, and only after a while did he continue:

"Thirty years ago, I was just an ordinary carpenter, and I never thought that I would do such a destructive thing as robbing tombs for most of my life."

"At that time, my wife was seriously ill, and I couldn't cure it after searching for doctors. Later, a friend told me that there is a strange tree called the corpse wheel blood tree in this world, and wearing an ornament made of the corpse wheel blood tree can not only cure all diseases, but also easily live a hundred years. ”

"Uncle Seven, that friend of yours should also be upside down, right?" I already heard some clues from Liu Laoqi's words and asked.

"Yes, he is indeed a tomb robber, and he also showed me the ancient book that records the corpse wheel blood tree. From then on, I started to go with him to the inverted fight. Unlike many of my peers, I didn't go to the tomb for the priceless treasures in the ancient tomb, but to look for the corpse wheel blood tree in the tomb that I don't know if it exists in the world. ”

"Although I would take out one or two artifacts from the tomb to sell them for money in order to supplement my family, what I wanted to find most in my heart was the corpse wheel blood tree. At that time, I had already thought that after I found the corpse wheel blood tree, I would make a small pendant for my wife with blood wood, and never do this kind of thing that damages yin virtue again. ”

"However, nearly five years have passed, and I have visited more than 30 burial chambers, but all of them have returned disappointed. During those five years, my wife's condition became worse and worse, and she was already emaciated, almost so weak that she could not even walk. ”

"Later, I paid some money and asked a relative to take care of my wife for a while, and I went down to the grave again. This inverted fight has become my lifelong regret. When I got home, my home was empty, and when I found the relative, I learned that my wife had died twenty days earlier. ”

Hearing this, I couldn't help but feel a little touched in my heart, but I didn't expect Liu Laoqi to hide such a sad past in his heart. In order to save his wife, he went to the inverted fight, and stayed in the tomb for five years, which is really not something that ordinary people can do.

"When I arrived at my wife's grave, I cried for a whole day, and finally stayed by the cemetery for three days without eating or drinking, and finally fainted and was found, and then I was lucky enough to pick up a small life. At that moment, I regretted it and kept blaming myself, blaming myself for not being able to spend more time with my wife in the past few years. In the past five years, he left his seriously ill wife alone at home for something that no one had ever seen, and in the end he got nothing. ”

Liu Laoqi's mood was a little low, he took out a cigarette from his bag, sat on the ground and took a few deep breaths, and his eyes became blurry and moist again.

"Later, I barely pulled myself together, went back to my old job, and became a carpenter. After another two years, I started a lumber mill with some money I had saved from selling the artifacts and started a serious businessman. ”

"Maybe it's providence, there are some things that can't be escaped. Over the course of a few years, my lumber mill business was booming, but that's when a business partner approached me. ”

Hearing this, I began to be a little nervous, Liu Laoqi's story should be about to reach the climax.

took out a cigarette again, lit it, and after taking a puff, Liu Laoqi continued:

"At that time, my business partner approached me, and without saying a word, he took out an antique pendant from his body and handed it to me. At first, I didn't pay much attention to it, thinking it was just an ordinary pendant. But when I took it in my hand and looked at it carefully for a while, the whole person stayed there, unable to say a word for a long time. ”

"As you might have guessed, yes, the pendant that my business partner showed me was made of the Corpse Wheel Blood Tree. Later, when I inquired, I learned that the pendant in his hand at that time was actually only mortgaged to him by another bankrupt boss who owed him money, and before he could ask about the origin of the pendant, that person had already committed suicide by jumping off the building because of his debts. ”

"My business partner came to me because he wanted me to help him keep an eye out for the wood of the Corpse Wheel Blood Tree, and the price he gave was staggering. In the end, I learned a secret from him that I didn't know before, that if I made a wooden coffin out of the corpse chakra blood tree, it could actually raise the flesh and bones of the dead, and bring the dead back to life. ”

"Uncle Seven, you must have been deceived by him, how can there be such a thing in this world." Liu Laoqi's words made me a little dumbfounded, the dead, the flesh and bones, how is this possible, it is completely possible only in mythological dramas, so I couldn't help but say.

"Maybe, but since I know this secret, whether it's true or not, I have to try to find the corpse wheel blood tree, and use the corpse wheel blood tree to make a wooden coffin for my wife." Liu Laoqi was unmoved, sighed and said.
