Chapter 10 The old guy is showing off
In the Northeast, trees that have been struck by lightning are called lightning-strike trees. Lightning-strike trees are split by thunder from the sky and are deeply feared by ghosts. They are the most powerful talisman to ward off evil spirits.
Folks often tie a piece of lightning wood through a rope and wear it on a child's wrist or hang it around the neck, thinking that this way the child will not be contaminated with dirt and can be fed easily.
Originally, it was very rare for trees to be struck by lightning once. Unexpectedly, Dabai said that the tree in front of him had been tempered by thousands of thunders, so it was named Ten Thousand Thunder Trees.
It is really rare and weird that such complete and precious wood would stand intact on the beach.
"Brother, is there some treasure stored under this dead tree that attracts thousands of lightning strikes?" Dongzi poked Tianhong with his elbow.
"I didn't know, I knew that Dabai was a god not much earlier than you!"
"Then let's dig out the Wan Lei Mu and tie it to the roof of the car and take it back together. Listening to your Dabai, this thing can't be cheap!"
"What are you two muttering about?" Dabai suddenly asked the two of them.
"They said they were going to take this big tree home and sell it!" Bi Xin answered quickly.
"Hey, you little girl, your ears are really good!" Dongzi pretended to twist the ear of the pen refill.
This frightened the pen core and immediately hid behind Tianhong, hugging his thigh and not letting go.
"Okay! Stop making trouble, or we won't be able to finish digging even at dawn!" Dabai sternly stopped the frolic of several people.
"The digging must be endless. Do you think this is sandy soil? There are rocks underneath!" Dongzi said nonchalantly.
"Bang"! "Bang"!
Suddenly a pickaxe and a shovel fell from the sky, and they landed at their feet.
"Stop talking nonsense and dig!" Dabai took a few steps back to make room for the two of them.
Now Tianhong didn't dare to offend this "old guy", so he had no choice but to take Dongzi and start digging.
Dongzi was right, there were rocks of different sizes under the fine sand, which really slowed down the progress.
The two of them spent nine oxen, two tigers and eleven animals just digging out to a depth of forty to fifty centimeters.
"Ah, I can't do it anymore!" The fat Dongzi crawled out of the pit and lay on his back on the beach.
"I can't do it anymore!" Tianhong took off his shirt and hung it on a branch of Wanlei Mu.
"Alas, the physical fitness of young people nowadays is really incomparable with that of the older generation!" Dabai lamented.
"You, you can do it, come on! It's not like you don't have claws, and besides, you have magic!" Dongzi really didn't like to hear this kind of thing.
"Nonsense, old man, I can't touch this piece of wood!" Dabai felt guilty and his voice became smaller and smaller.
"Oh, that's it, we are here to work as coolies for you!" Dongzi suddenly realized.
Just when one person and one dog were arguing, Tianhong saw Bi Yan slowly crawling down the sand pit, and then he picked up the small stones he could move and threw them up.
"That's not right, why isn't the refill afraid of Wan Lei Mu?" Tianhong thought to himself.
However, the pen refill, which was just over one meter long, exposed only half of her body when standing in the pit. In addition, the sand and stones that the two men had just dug were piled outside. When the child bent over, Tianhong couldn't even see her figure.
This well-behaved and sensible child suddenly shocked Tianhong's heart.
At that moment, Tianhong made up his mind to do his best to reunite Bixin and his family. No matter how difficult and dangerous it was, he would help their family stay together forever.
"Okay, stop being poor! Get to work!"
This time, it was Tianhong who took the initiative to pick up the shovel.
"Brother! There seems to be something down there!"
Suddenly, the pen core jumped up happily, and then bent down to quickly bring out a few handfuls of sand from the pit.
Dongzi reacted the fastest, took out the pen refill, jumped down and started digging.
"Brother, it's a wooden box!"
"Bring it up quickly!" Tianhong was also a little excited, and immediately used a shovel to smooth out the piles of mud, sand and stones beside the pit to prevent them from rolling down again.
"It's quite annoying. The box is entangled with tree roots. Do you have an ax or saw in the car?"
"Why should I bring that thing? I'm not a bald guy!"
"I'm coming!" Dabai also came up.
"You can't touch this wood?" Dongzi was puzzled.
"Use this!" Dabai said, spitting out a pointed tooth from his mouth.
Tianhong is a veterinarian, and he recognized the tooth at a glance as a canine fang, which is equivalent to a small human tiger tooth.
"Just insert these teeth into the gaps between the tree roots!" Dabai added.
"Is this the key?" Dongzi asked.
Dabai nodded.
"Then this must not be ivory!" Dongzi smiled.
It's just that it's not convenient for Dabai to get angry, otherwise he could kick Dongzi to death in the pit now.
Bianxin still didn't understand the connotation of Dongzi's words, so Tianhong had to explain to her while holding back his laughter.
"Come out!"
After Dongzi finished speaking, he pushed a wooden box up and then kicked out of the sand pit.
The box is not big, about the same size as an old-fashioned computer monitor. Although there is a lot of sand attached to it, it is not difficult to tell that the material is probably fir, a wood that is not afraid of water. It has been buried in the ground for a long time and is still intact.
Everyone couldn't help but be curious, so they came over and squatted next to it.
Dabai turned the box over and placed his left front paw on the box.
"Creak"! There was a sound of a machine starting up, and the box opened in response.
"My mother, it's unlocked by fingerprint!" Dongzi couldn't help but admired.
Dabai ignored him and took out a silver, square object from the box.
"What is this?" Tianhong was very curious.
"My magic weapon!"
"Magic weapon?" Everyone exclaimed.
I have only seen this thing on TV, but who would have thought that I could see it with my own eyes in reality.
Dabai sat in front of the magic weapon, his eyes closed tightly, and he kept chanting incantations.
Suddenly, a red light emitted from the middle of Dabai's forehead and hit the magic weapon.
The magic weapon then seemed to be injected with energy, spinning and flying under the blessing of red light.
The sediment was slowly shaken off, and the slightly mottled texture peeled off.
Dabai's magic weapon gradually revealed its true color.
An ancient official seal made of brass or gold!
The magic weapon kept spinning in the air, gradually emitting a dazzling golden light.
Everyone was dumbfounded, and Dongzi seemed to have his jaw dropped. He opened his mouth and forgot to close it.
"Heavenly minister of the Yuqing Dynasty, assisting the Taoist order, assisting the emperor to succeed, the emperor governs the heavens, and pays homage to the righteous god! Qiqi Divine Lord Yaocheng, please return to your true body!"
As soon as Dabai finished speaking, the red light on his forehead disappeared immediately. On the contrary, the golden light of the official seal flourished, lifting Dabai into the air and spinning together.
At this time, he was bathed in the golden light as if he had been stripped of his bones and lost his soul, with no signs of life.
Spin, spin again.
Under the dazzling golden light, Tianhong and the others seemed to see an old man dressed in ancient official uniforms. An old man with silver threads and white beard but an immortal spirit was spinning and jumping in the air, with his eyes closed!
"Brother, do we need to kneel down?" Dongzi poked Tianhong with his elbow again.
Tianhong didn't reply, and he was dumbfounded.
Who would have thought that the big dog that he had worked so hard to raise for so long would suddenly become an immortal in front of him, and he seemed to be an incredible immortal.
"Yaocheng, you made me wait so hard! Die quickly!"
Chapter completed!
