"What's wrong?"

It wasn't until he followed Master Liu to the study room that Xu Jingyang asked with a puzzled look on his face: "What happened?"

"Shh..."

On the other hand, Master Liu's face was full of excitement at this time. He subconsciously made a silent gesture towards us, and then said with a mysterious look on his face: "Stop talking. If anything happens, we'll talk about it after we enter the secret room!"

After saying this, he actually danced the ghost dance on the spot...

"Uh...this..."

The atmosphere was indescribably weird for a moment, can you imagine? An old man with white hair actually danced a ghost dance in front of us... Damn, the painting style is so beautiful, so beautiful

It makes people a little stunned.

"Oh……"

Perhaps seeing the shock in my eyes, Xu Jingyang couldn't help but laugh, and then explained to me: "This is a special step. Seeing that there are no bricks on the ground...each brick is actually

It is a password. Only by following a certain order and stepping on the correct floor every time can we open the secret room, otherwise what awaits us will be random arrows piercing our hearts..."

After hearing what he said, I carefully observed the tiles on the ground. Sure enough, I found that every time Master Liu stepped on the floor, it sunk a little downwards. As soon as I let go, it immediately bounced back.

It's like it's spring-loaded.

Suddenly, Master Liu stopped and stamped hard on the ground!

"Kacha!"

There was a crisp sound, and there seemed to be the sound of some machine spring running under our feet. Then there was a "bang" sound, and a large area of ​​the floor in front of us suddenly sunk in, and then retracted to both sides, directly revealing a strip of

Stairs leading underground.

Damn it! It really is a miraculous skill! The arrangement of this mechanism...

Once the steps appeared, Master Liu immediately walked down without hesitation, holding the lightning strike wood. Xu Jingyang followed closely behind, and at the same time turned back to me and said: "Let's go!"

"this……"

To be honest, I actually felt quite guilty. I was afraid that Master Liu had some evil thoughts and was going to trick me into the basement and kill me with a knife!

However, out of trust in Xu Jingyang, I finally followed him in. Step by step, we walked down for about ten meters before we arrived at a wide basement.

Just when I was on the steps, I felt that the temperature inside was surprisingly high, at least 30 degrees. When I came to the basement, I discovered that there was a hole made of stone bricks in the center of the basement.

There was a huge oven, with a blazing fire burning inside, lighting up the entire basement.

Looking at the ground aside, there are various strange materials piled up miscellaneously, many of which are metal ores, including gems, pearls and jade, all piled up on the ground.

In addition, there is a large shelf in the southeast corner of the basement, which is filled with some formed or unformed weapons and other items...

"Ha ha……"

When he arrived at the basement, Master Liu immediately burst into laughter, his expression was extremely excited, and his hands holding the lightning rod could not help but tremble: "I didn't expect it, I didn't expect...Old man, I would be lucky enough to see a ten-turn rod in my lifetime.

Lightning strikes wood!”

"What?"

Upon hearing this, Xu Jingyang and I couldn't help being startled at the same time, and almost said in unison: "How is this possible?"

I don’t blame Xu Jingyang and I for being so out of character, it’s really what Master Liu said that was too unbelievable. As we all know, the nine-turn lightning strike on the wood is already the limit. There is no way that there is a ten-turn lightning strike on the wood in this world!

Because, once the ninth thunder tribulation is successfully passed, Taomu will have directly attained enlightenment and transformed into a human form. How can there be talk of a tenth thunder tribulation?

"Hey, nothing is impossible!"

Master Liu smiled confidently, then handed the lightning strike wood to Xu Jingyang and said with a smile: "See for yourselves!"

Xu Jingyang took the lightning strike wood doubtfully, and then he and I looked at it carefully.

Taking the lightning strike wood, we subconsciously counted the golden textures on it! Sure enough, there were ten in total!

Oh my god!

Then I suddenly remembered that last time I counted to the ninth golden texture, I stopped counting, because I knew that nine turns was the limit of lightning striking wood! But I didn't expect that behind the ninth line, there was

There is another one, and the last texture is much more obvious than the previous nine!

Under the illumination of the fire, the texture was simply shining. When I touched it with my hand, a burst of thunder immediately came from it, like an electric shock, making people feel numb all over.

"this……"

At this moment, Xu Jingyang and I were both stunned. He looked at me and I looked at him, both of us with blank expressions on our faces!

It seems that, like me, he has never heard of the existence of ten-turn lightning-struck wood in this world.

"Oh……"

Master Liu seemed to be very satisfied with our shocked expressions. He took the lightning strike wood from our hands and then said with a smile: "Do you know why?"

"have no idea!"

Xu Jingyang and I shook our heads subconsciously, and quickly said respectfully: "Master, please give me some advice!"

"Indeed, generally speaking, the nine-turn lightning strike on the wood is already the limit, because once it successfully survives the nine lightning tribulations, the Taomu can be regarded as a different kind of enlightenment, transformed into a human form, and even the best among practitioners.

It can’t be found at all!”

After a pause, Master Liu continued: "However, there are exceptions to everything! There are people who are arrogant and have a higher heart than the sky, and there are also those who are spiritually gifted! When they meet some people with extraordinary talents, they will not give in at all.

Incarnated as humans, so after surviving the ninth thunder tribulation, they did not choose to transform into human forms, but continued to accumulate energy and brazenly caused the tenth thunder tribulation!"

"The Taoist sect teaches that nine and nine return to true form. Anything that exceeds nine is considered an anomaly! Once this peach tree successfully survives the tenth thunder tribulation, it will not just transform into a human form, but will directly attain Taoism and ascend!

"

"ah?"

After listening to Master Liu's narration, Xu Jingyang and I were both horrified. Xu Jingyang even subconsciously asked: "Doesn't that mean that this peach tree almost became an immortal?"

"good!"

Master Liu nodded with certainty, but then he couldn't help but said with a look of regret: "It's a pity that the way of heaven is ruthless, and in this age of the end of the Dharma, it is very rare to be able to survive the ninth thunder tribulation.

But it tried to reach the sky in one step, but in the end it only harmed itself... But it is precisely because of this that there is another such a perfect Ten-Turn Lightning Strike Wood in the world!"

When he said this, Master Liu's eyes suddenly became hot, and then he glanced directly at me: "Young man, is this lightning-struck wood yours?"

"Um!"

I nodded subconsciously, then saw Xu Jingyang winking at me, and I couldn't help but quickly raised my hand to Master Liu: "I want to use it to make a peach wood sword! Please ask Master to make it happen!"

"Oh... God's will, God's will..."

Master Liu's state seemed very strange. After a long time, he smiled at me and said, "Don't worry, it is my honor to be able to make this Ten-turn Lightning Strike Wood with my own hands! Once it is made, this will definitely be my proudest achievement."

Work, sooner or later, I, Blacksmith Liu, will become famous all over the world because of this sword! Haha..."

After laughing three times, Master Liu solemnly put the lightning strike wood into an iron box, and directly issued an eviction order to Xu Jingyang and me: "You guys go! I can't wait! Come back in a month, I will definitely

I’ll give you a perfect mahogany sword!”

"Let's go!"

Xu Jingyang had obviously dealt with Master Liu more than once. Knowing what he said, he led me out of the basement without saying a word.

It wasn't until I walked out of the basement that I remembered something and hurriedly said to Xu Jingyang: "We haven't talked about the reward yet?"

"Huh...what kind of reward...didn't you see what Master Liu looked like just now? Even if you ask him to give you one hundred thousand now, I'm afraid he will still be willing..."

Xu Jingyang smiled slightly, seeing that I was still uneasy, and then advised: "Don't worry, do you think Master Liu is a man who is short of money? Besides, besides making a peach wood sword from this lightning strike wood,

There will definitely be a lot of scraps left over, and just leaving a piece for him will be enough to pay him..."

"oh……"
