"How is this possible?" I was extremely shocked, it was already incredible that there was a wooden figure in the tree, and there was still a complete heart in the wooden figure, and the scientific knowledge that I had spent more than ten years learning was subverted in an instant.

"Weishenme can't be?" The master was not surprised on the side, only snickering.

I said, "How can a person be born when a sperm and egg are combined, conceived in October, and the tree does not distinguish between men and women, cannot mate, and is completely different from the human gene, how can it be possible to give birth to a person?" ”

Master blinked: "Then where do you say people come from?" ”

"From the ...... of an ape" I originally wanted to say that man evolved from an ape, but I once saw the fox turn into a man, and now I have dug up a wooden man from a big tree with my own hands, and even has a heart, do I dare to mention the "theory of evolution"?

Master didn't make fun of me, told me to keep digging, and then said slowly, "Trees are still male and female, but they are called male and female, male trees do not bloom or only bloom but do not bear fruit, female trees need the pollen of male trees to bear fruit, even if it is a tree without flowers and fruits, it can also be divided into male and female, everything is always yin and yang." ”

I'm a little embarrassed, it's common sense, I'm just shocked and confused.

Master went on to say, "You should have heard that thousand-year-old ginseng and thousand-year-old He Shou Wu can take on human form, or even transform into real people, so what's so strange about a thousand-year-old tree turning into a human form? However, this situation is still very rare, among the 100-year-old trees, there may not be one that can open the mind; Among the hundred ancient trees with spiritual intelligence, there may not be one that can give birth to a human form, it is truly one in ten thousand! You see, these two big camphor trees did not give birth to wooden people. ”

I was shocked and asked, "So if this big camphor tree is not demonized and killed by lightning, will the people inside become living people?" ”

Master laughed: "Of course, but I'm afraid that after 10,000 years, it will be able to withstand the test of the heavenly calamity, and it will not be a mortal, but a god, and there is a peach blossom girl in Taoism, that is, the peach tree will become an immortal in ten thousand years." This large camphor tree is only more than 1,000 years old, so although it has a human form, only one heart can be considered truly formed. ”

This statement is so shocking that I prefer to believe that it was the lightning that scorched just to form the appearance of a person, and there was a heart-shaped tree center in the center of the big tree, otherwise many deep-rooted thoughts and knowledge would have to be subverted. Fortunately, I'm not a teacher now, otherwise how would I teach my students?

It took a lot of effort, and the heart of the tree was dug out by me, with a smooth appearance and a complete outline, which clearly looked like a human heart, but it was twice the size of a human heart, and it was quite heavy to hold in my hand. It is a pity that a small half of the heart of the tree was damaged by lightning, and it was full of cracks, leaving only about three-fifths of the complete haode, hard as iron, smooth as jade, and fragrant.

"It's already half cracked." I was a little disappointed, so I took it in my hand and handed it to Master.

After the master took it, his eyes lit up, and he nodded again and again: "Yes, yes, there is still more than half, you are really lucky!" ”

Is this called luck?

Master saw my doubts and said with a smile: "Don't underestimate this half heart, it is the purest heart core formed by the big camphor tree for more than a thousand years, and when the big camphor tree is struck by lightning, the huge pressure compresses all its essence to the heart of this tree, so the spiritual power it contains is far beyond your imagination." If you are not struck by lightning, you will never be able to compress the essence of the whole tree into such a small place, and if you are struck by lightning, the core of the heart will generally be shattered, and occasionally a little will be left, and it is very lucky to be able to leave more than half of it. ”

I was still a little puzzled: "Master, this is the core of the demon tree, can it be used?" ”

Master smiled and handed the tree heart to me: "You try to sense it, is there still a demonic aura?" Such a strong heavenly thunder thundered down, and all the demonic qi, evil qi, and impurities were refined, leaving behind the purest camphor tree essence, and the lightning strike wood was particularly precious because of this. ”

I pressed the heart of the tree with the palm of my hand, concentrating, and sure enough, there was no uncomfortable breath, there was a warm and refreshing feeling from the palm, and there seemed to be a fragrance of camphor trees penetrating the body, which was refreshing.

"Put it away, don't be seen, for Taoist priests and Mr. Yin and Yang, this is a treasure that is hard to find!" Master sighed.

"Master, is the snake demon's tail thorn also a treasure?"

Master said: "I can't be sure of this, its whole body was scorched by the thunderbolt, only this tail thorn remains, there should be some special places, go back and practice it." Now cut this log into several more sections, and chop it up where it looks like a person, so as not to scare the villagers.

……

When I got home, Master couldn't wait for me to start processing the tree heart. What can this half heart do? I thought about it for a long time and didn't have a clue, but Zuihou still had the idea from the master and asked me to carve it into a seal, which is the seal that is stamped when drawing the talisman, which can be used to bless the talisman with spiritual power and might, and can also be used as a magic weapon to directly suppress ghosts and demons.

It is best to use, make, practice, and nourish the Dharma utensils yourself, so Master asked me to make them myself.

I've never learned to carve before, and the heart of this tree is surprisingly hard, and the tools are not handy, and Master also requires the leftovers to be as complete as possible for other uses, so it is very difficult. After two days of tossing, I had several blisters on my hands, and I gloriously left several wounds on my fingers before I made it look like an official seal.

Master said that it doesn't matter if it's beautiful or not, it doesn't affect the effect of use, and you can slowly carve it when you have time and energy in the future. Next, I had to engrave the characters on the smoothed side, and the master wrote two zigzag seal characters on the rice paper, and then asked me to engrave them in turn.

"Master, is this a divine horse?"

"It's not a magic horse, it's the word 'psychic'." The master hated the appearance that iron could not become steel, and shook his head again and again, "I don't recognize the word Lian Tongling, and now the children's books are all read in vain." ”

I'm sorry, who still learns the big seal now, and besides, his two words have been rewritten, which are almost the same as runes. I was a little puzzled: "Master, it seems that you use a lot of prints, Lu Chengshan also uses a lot of prints, weishenme I have so few prints?" ”

Master said: "This varies from person to person, I use the 'Three Realms Mixed Yuan General Photography Ten Thousand Gods Seal', some people use the 'Jade Emperor Seal', some people use the 'Taishang Laojun Seal', and some have dozens of different kinds according to the sect. I told you, spiritual power is the driving force of all talismans, spells, and spells, as long as you have strong spiritual power, you can also deter demons by reciting a fart word. You have a spiritual root, and there is a thousand-year-old demon fox on your body, so the most important thing for you is to be 'psychic', communicate with the demon fox and various gods, and borrow their spiritual power, so that you can maximize your potential. ”

I understood, and said with a smile, "Then when I recite the mantra, do I have to recite 'The fox spirit is as anxious as the law'?" ”

"haha......" Master daxiao.

I hid at home for a few days to engrave the seal, and the rumors spread outside, and the neighbors all knew that there was a thousand-year-old tree in our village that became a demon, and almost killed the whole village...... There were reporters from several newspapers and television stations who came to cover the news, but I had already closed the door and not seen anyone, and Master said that you should keep a low profile.

The unrecognizable wooden man has been chopped up by the villagers and taken home as firewood, and the dead poultry and livestock in the village have long been disposed of, although the villagers have said that the story is fantastic, the reporter has not obtained direct evidence, and only one Shengyu Po died in this incident, but she was killed by his crazy son...... In the end, this supernatural event only appeared in a certain newspaper, and on a certain day and in a certain place, a thousand-year-old tree was knocked down by lightning, but fortunately no one was injured.

For the people of our village, this incident is terrifying to the extreme, and it will never be forgotten for a lifetime, but for those who have not experienced it firsthand, it is just a story and a legend. A few days later, Lao Lin rushed back, and he also scoffed at the matter: "I'm pretending to be a ghost again, didn't I just thunder and cut down the tree for a long time!" ”

In this regard, the master just smiled, and did not compare with Lao Lin, and asked Lao Lin to make a dagger from the thorn on the snake demon's tail and give it to me. After the master's treatment, the horn thorn has become red like fire, and the handle is the horn of an old mountain muntjac, which is small and long, and only eight inches long in total.

Although this tail thorn of the snake demon is very hard, it must be, and there are no edges on the sides, so it cannot be used to cut things. Master said that this tail thorn contains Yang poison, which can cause damage to ghosts, zombies, all yin attribute spirits and monsters, and the only regret is that the five-step snake only has one or two hundred years of cultivation, and its effectiveness is a little worse, it is not considered a top grade, and it cannot be compared with my psychic divine wood seal.

All of a sudden, I had two weapons, so I had to do one more job, to offer them in front of the idol every day, and after the offerings, I had to take them in my hand and recite some mantras, and I had to hang them on my chest when I practiced. Master also said that when I have practiced the aura, I must often adjust the aura to touch them and communicate with them, this is the warmth and cultivation of the magic weapon, and the haode material must be carefully cultivated for many years before it can really exert its power, otherwise it is just a piece of wood.

One day I went out, and saw my grandmother and a group of old ladies rushing to the crested hall with incense, candles, paper and money offerings, so I asked her what she was going to do, and my grandmother told me mysteriously that on the day of the thunder, someone saw the fairy girl appearing in the sky, and now I want to thank it.

I was a little shocked, wasn't it my hallucination that day, the image of the fairy girl really appeared in the sky? I followed to the Crested Hall to have a look, and I felt that the Crested Hall was much brighter than before, although it was broken, it was not gloomy

Everyone else thinks that the matter has passed, and the world is peaceful, but my leader Xu Jianmao doesn't think so, he has become a zombie, and his whereabouts are still unknown. Hundreds of people were dispatched to look for it, but there was no gain, and then the police also came to help, and also brought police dogs, but the result was also nothing, and the old zombie seemed to suddenly disappear from the world.

The people of the Xu family asked my master more than once, and my master said that he didn't know, but once when he was chatting with me, he said that the old zombie might have run to the ghost cottage.

The so-called "Fierce Ghost Cottage" refers to a small village in the snake intestine valley of Genting Mountain, it is said that there was a group of bandits entrenched in it before, and then all died mysteriously, and there are fierce ghosts rampant during the day, no one dares to approach, so it is called the Fierce Ghost Cottage.

Yunding Mountain is dozens of miles away from our village, the mountain is extremely high and dangerous, there are cliffs and deep streams everywhere, the top of the mountain is covered with clouds and mist all the year round, can the old zombie run so far? Where do weishenme ghosts like to run? I was extremely curious about this, but Master seemed to be deliberately hiding it from me, and every time I mentioned it, he diverted the subject.
