The team was marching through the dense and verdant woods, and suddenly encountered lightning strikes, and they all lay on the ground and did not dare to move. When the thunder and rain fall, I dare to get up and look for a place to shelter from the rain.

I didn't go far before I saw black smoke in the woods in front of me, and there were a few lightning strikes as black as charcoal, blocking in front of everyone.

However, the arrangement of the trees struck by lightning was extremely strange, and they were all around a locust tree that could only be embraced by three people. And this tall and stout locust tree, undamaged, very strange surrounded by seven lightning strikes in the middle, compared with the hideous and terrifying locust tree, even more charred as charcoal lightning strike wood, so that everyone was terrified and amazed.

Seventh Master Zha took the lead in walking to the lightning strike of the ancient tree, and after looking around, he shook his head again and again and said, "It's a pity." Lightning strike wood is a holy object to ward off evil spirits, carved into a wooden sword to cast spells can kill demons and demons, made into a spell to wear can drive away evil spirits and avoid ghosts, there are many uses, all kinds of benefits, but it must be an ancient tree that is still alive after the lightning strike. Of the seven trees in front of him, six are dead, and the other is a pine, not a peach or a date, and the energy is too small. However, the volume is very large, and the large magic tools used to make zuò Taoist priests are very good, but now there are no cutting and carving tools, which is a pity. ”

I know the benefits of lightning strike wood, but the fat man and I both have the peach wood town ghost card handed down by our ancestors, so we don't covet lightning strike wood. I'm very concerned about the locust tree in the middle of the lightning strike, why did it survive?

There are too many mysteries on the body of this locust tree. First of all, it is a bit puzzling why this locust tree is the only one in the dense pine forest. And the yin qi has always been the heaviest. The locust tree, which can attract evil spirits, survived the lightning strike. The lightning strike struck the other ancient trees around it, which was so strange that it was incomprehensible.

I stood in front of the sparkling lightning strike wood. After staring at the locust tree for a long time, the seventh master saw the confusion on my face, so he explained to me: "This locust tree has a doorway, someone specially planted it here, and set up a formation so that it can avoid lightning strikes. The locust tree grows very slowly because of the heavy yin, you see it is so thick, maybe these towering ancient trees around it that have been struck by lightning. It's not the first batch anymore. ”

Although Seventh Master Zha is a half-Taoist priest, he knows a lot more about things like this than us laymen. He then said to me: "On rainy days, the forest is most afraid of lightning strikes, and I think tonight, we will rest near the lightning strike wood, and wait until the rain has stopped before hurrying, so as not to be in danger." ”

I nodded in agreement, and then, Seventh Master Zha took advantage of the fact that everyone was busy camping. He whispered to me, "Watch out for people who don't dare approach the lightning strikes." ”

I immediately understood what Seventh Master meant, lightning strike wood has always been able to suppress evil and overcome ghosts. If someone in the team is a tanuki demon pretending to be a tanuki, they will not dare to approach the lightning strike wood, in case they will show their original form.

Start by setting up camp. At night, when I go to bed, I pay attention to everyone's every move. Originally, I wanted to lure my teammates to the only surviving lightning strike on the left side of the woods. to test the real and the fake. But he was afraid that the cunning tanuki would find out, so he had no choice but to give up. Silently in the dark, observe the movements of each teammate.

When the seventh master entered the forest. Then he walked up to the only surviving lightning strike wood to watch, and there was no doubt about it. But in order to show me that he was the deity at this time, not a tanuki, he also deliberately went to the leftmost lightning strike wood to play with it, I was quite amused, but I held back.

According to my observations, before everyone went to sleep, there were three people who did not come to the living lightning strike wood, namely Duan Erye, Zhuge Locksmith King, and the night owl who was in charge of guarding today.

The identity of the fat man and Zha Ling'er is stared at by the seventh master, there will be no mistake, in order to show that I am right, I deliberately went to the lightning strike wood to approach, pretending to take the trunk of the tree as a wooden sword for self-defense, in fact, it is to let the seventh master of the Zha see, I am not fake, so that he can rest assured.

Of course, Seventh Master Zha understood my intentions, covered half of his face with a fan, smiled at me and nodded.

Among the three people who didn't get close to the lightning strike wood, only Duan Er Ye made me a little concerned, thinking that he had just been overtaken by a tanuki recently, and it was difficult to get rid of suspicion, and I even had some suspicions that Duan Er Ye was not fascinated by a tanuki, but that he was now a tanuki. If it weren't for his ability, how could he be overtaken by a tanuki? There may be a lot of articles in this, maybe it is a play directed and acted by the cunning tanuki, so that we can relax our vigilance, and then we can naturally become Duan Erye and hide in the team.

The night rain gradually faded and became lazy, but after a while, it would stop.

In the damp and cold forest, it was really difficult to sleep, and between tossing and turning, I was on the willow tops of the moon, and I was a little tired at this time.

Suddenly, a shrill whistle came from the trees, which immediately broke the silence of the night, and I hurriedly got up and looked around alertly.

At this time, the rain has stopped, and the fog in the forest is clear, and after a careful look, it is found that the forest is not all shrouded in fog, but only around the lightning strike wood, and the mist is entwined, like a light veil fluttering.

I jumped out of the hammock and saw that the night owl had jumped from the tree, and he pointed to the inside of the lightning strike wood for me to see.

I had not taken a few steps towards the lightning strike wood, and I saw a cloud like white yarn floating out of the locust tree surrounded by the lightning strike tree. Clusters of white mist, like a shadowless ghost body, fluttering, swaying, so not mad.

The surroundings of the locust tree were like ghosts, eerie and terrifying, and I knew that it was precisely when the night owl saw this that he would whistle and wake us up. But I don't know, what are these ghosts floating out of the locust tree? I had to ask Seventh Master for advice.

The seventh master was sleepy-eyed, but when he saw many misty ghosts floating out of the locust tree, he immediately widened his eyes and beckoned everyone to pack their bags immediately and leave here. I was shocked by this, and hurriedly asked him why he was so flustered.

Zha Qiye said to me with a look of remorse: "It's my clumsiness, I used to avoid lightning strikes, so I said that I would rest here." But there are eyes without beads, I don't know that this locust tree is a ghost locust, and the yin qi is extremely deep, and I must leave here as much as possible. Otherwise, everyone will be haunted by ghosts and ghosts, and there will be no escape from here. ”

When I heard this, I immediately beckoned everyone to pack their bags and leave immediately.

But, unbeknownst to you, it's too late!

Everyone walked in the forest in the dark, letting the rain from the trees wet their clothes, but after running fast for a long time, everyone found that they had returned to the lightning strike wood again, and the ghost locust was still floating out of the white ghost-like mist.

The fat man patted his thigh and said, "It's over, we met a ghost hitting the wall, and we were fascinated and couldn't get out." ”

I immediately asked the seventh master: "Is it a tanuki troublemaker, or is it related to the ghost locust?" ”

The seventh master held the iron bone fan and said to me: "The tanuki is good at using all kinds of wonderful methods, and disdains to trap us here, in my opinion, it has nothing to do with this ghost Huai." ”

I immediately asked, "What then?" ”

The seventh master replied to me: "The sky is dark and unknown, and it is futile to go again." It's better to stay away from the ghost locust as much as possible, and when it is daylight, set off again, and try to see if you can get out? ”

I knew there was no other way, but I was still a little worried and asked, "Is it dangerous to stay here tonight?" ”

The Seventh Master shook his fan and said to me, "It's all up to the will of heaven and creation. ”

Zha Qiye said these irresponsible words, I really want to ridicule him for being an old man who is swaggering and deceiving, but he also knows about ghosts and gods, how can the world know everything, so he frowned tightly, and told everyone not to sleep to death, and to be careful.

As a result, the second half of the night was peaceful, and everyone was awake in the morning, but the fog in the woods was even worse, and the day was like night, and they could not be seen five paces away from each other.

The personality of me and the fat man is that we must not sit still, we must do our best first, and then settle the destiny. So the team set off again and began to move on in the white mist.

On the way to the wetlands of the Sanjiang Plain, we encountered heavy fog and exhausted in the fog and peat swamps. Now that I'm in the fog again, my state of mind is very different, and I'm very worried about the ability of the ghost locust to not just trap us with the fog. The ghost locust that may not be able to be helpless by thunder has already spawned some kind of terrifying monster, and when the time is ripe, it will wipe us out.

At nightfall, everyone was forced to come to the ghost locust again, exhausted.

The monkey said to the fat man with a tired face, "Fat brother, it's over, we can't go out." ”

The fat man said with an angry face: "What are you afraid of, it's a big deal to set a fire and burn that demon tree, see if he can still be weird?" ”

Seventh Master felt that what the fat man said was reasonable, and discussed with me whether he should start from the ghost locust and eradicate it, so that he could easily leave this place.

I remembered that Seventh Master said before that lightning strikes can't help ghosts, and someone set up a situation and set up a formation around it. Now that the masters have managed to set up the formation, what can we do to get rid of this ghost locust?

Seventh Master replied to me: "Since we can't start with spells, we will use stupid tricks, and it will definitely not work to set fire, it will be easy to cause a fire in the forest." I have a plan, I wonder if it will work? ”

I hurriedly urged the seventh master to speak quickly, and he replied to me: "It is to dig up its roots and push it to." ”

I think this method is very good, and I used this trick when the white-eyed wolves attacked. It's just that it's simple, I don't know if it will be hindered by the ghost locust when it is implemented. But now we have to take one step at a time, and whether the plan works or not, it must be implemented immediately.

The excavation was not effortless, but the approach of the ghost locust tree was unusually cold, and people were so cold that their hands and feet were cold, and they kept shivering. The crowd gradually felt a little numb and stiff in their hands and feet, and finally they had to frost and had to stop digging and move their frozen limbs to the side. When everyone finally warmed up and was ready to continue working, they found that the soil under the ghost locust tree seemed to have become frozen soil for many years. (To be continued......)
