Upon hearing this, Sha Biao and Lao Wu were immediately delighted, and they quickly agreed on the price. Sha Biao offered five thousand to buy the body of the centipede spirit.

However, no matter how hard I tried, Old Wu refused to accept the Fengfeng Bead in my hand. Then I thought about it, he is a Miao people in the mountains, and he only knows how to shepherd sheep. This "Fixing Feng Bead"

In his hands, it seems to be of little use. Moreover, judging from his appearance, he probably can't find a suitable way to sell the bead.

So I pulled Brother Zhang aside and asked, "Do you have money? If it's convenient, can you lend me a little first."

Brother Zhang seemed to understand what I meant. Without saying anything, he asked directly: "How much do you want?"

"Well……"

Seeing him being so straightforward, I felt a little embarrassed. After thinking about it for a long time, I weakly stretched out a finger and said, "Is ten thousand okay?"

"Hi... no problem! However, I don't have that much on hand right now. I have to go to the county to get it..."

"Okay! Thank you very much. When I have the money, I will pay it back to you immediately!"

When I heard that Brother Zhang was willing to lend me money, I couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and then I said to Lao Wu and Sha Biao: "Well, since you don't want the beads, then I will pay 10,000 yuan to buy these beads and

Centipede. As for the centipede, I will give it to Brother Sha. The ten thousand yuan will be given to Lao Wu. What do you think?"

"ah?"

Lao Wu and Sha Biao glanced at me subconsciously, and then said in unison: "Why are you so embarrassed?"

As soon as he talked about money, Old Wu's eyes lit up, unlike his attitude towards the beads just now. It's no wonder, people in this mountain are more sincere in heart. What kind of treasures do they recognize there, it's still banknotes.

It comes more realistically.

"What's there to be embarrassed about? After all, I took advantage of you..."

Leaving aside the "fire stick", the price of the "Fixing Wind Bead" alone is definitely more than 10,000. However, since I don't have any money now, I can't offer too high a price.

"No, no..."

Before Lao Wu could express his position, Sha Biao waved his hand: "You are a guest, how can I have the nerve to take advantage of you? Well, just give me five thousand, and the remaining five thousand is up to me."

Come out!”

"No, you also contributed to this matter today. You deserve this centipede!"

I waved my hand directly, and then said with a non-negotiable expression: "Okay, this matter is settled! Early tomorrow morning, Brother Zhang and I will go to the county to withdraw the money, and then send it to Lao Wu

!”

"this……"

When he heard that he could get 10,000 yuan, Lao Wu was obviously a little moved. Without saying anything, he couldn't help but look at Sha Biao.

Seeing Lao Wu's eyes shining, Sha Biao couldn't help but shook his head, and then looked at me: "Are you sure?"

"certainly!"

I nodded firmly. No matter how I calculated this, I was the one who made the profit. Of course I was sure of it.

"Fine!"

Sha Biao looked at Lao Wu, and finally nodded, with an embarrassed look on his face: "Then I'll let you spend the money, brother...I..."

"Hi! We're all friends. After all, it's settled... I think it's getting late. How about we go back to the village first?"

…

With such a distribution, everyone was happy. I got two treasures that were of great benefit to my practice; Sha Biao got the body of the centipede spirit; and Lao Wu also got 10,000 yuan. This can be regarded as everyone getting what he got.

Needed.

Only Brother Zhang was a little depressed, not because he didn't get anything, but because he was complaining about me. Because he felt that I could actually take all these things without spending a penny... After all, from some kind of

To a certain extent, all lives were saved by me.

Regarding this, I just smiled indifferently and said, just think of it as buying peace of mind.

I really just want to buy peace of mind. Whether it is the "Fixing Wind Bead" or the "Fire Stick", as long as I don't tell anyone, no one will actually know that it is a treasure. But if I just buy it, my conscience will not be as good as it is.

I feel a little sorry. The Dingfeng Pearl is okay, it is my "labor income" after all, but this fire stick is the "private property" of the old Wu family.

Furthermore, Lao Wu's family is indeed in a bit of difficulty, and there are still children at home who need to go to school, so it should be regarded as supporting his son's schooling.

Of course, the reason why I dare to do this is because after I established the foundation, Lao Zhangtou used a secret method to temporarily suppress the bad luck in my body. Otherwise, I really wouldn't dare to be so generous, and maybe I wouldn't even dare to come over.

Help, otherwise I, the lone star of evil, will definitely become more and more troublesome the more you help.

In the past, if Old Wu dared to accept my ten thousand yuan, the house might be washed away by a mudslide the next day...

Even though Centipede Spirit was dead, Old Wu still didn’t dare to live at home, so he took Aunt Wu back to the village with us. Fortunately, there were still their relatives in the village, so they didn’t have to settle down.

place.

On the way back to the village, I couldn't help but ask Lao Wu about the origin of this stick.

Lao Wu said that this stick was picked up in the mountains when his son was born, and it has been used as a fire stick at home ever since. I didn't realize it before, but now that I think about it, this stick has some evil qualities.

I've had the fever for more than ten years, but it hasn't shortened by even half a point. Instead, it's getting worse and worse.

Without saying a few words just now, Lao Wu told me about his son with great joy, saying how smart his son was and how excellent his grades were. He had been number one in the class since he was a child...

But I was a little bit puzzled as to why I didn’t see his son tonight. Logically speaking, I should have been on winter vacation long ago.

Later I learned that his son’s name is Wu Junxuan, and he has just turned 12 years old this year. He is currently studying in junior high school in Qianyang City, so he has been living with relatives. In a few days, the old couple plans to go to Qianyang to visit him...

12 years old?

It turns out that pearls grow from old clams, and children come to old age. No wonder they are such rare treasures! With the conditions of his family, it is already very rare for him to be able to send his children to school, let alone send them to Qianyang City.

How can the old couple afford this expense? No wonder Lao Wu is so sensitive about money... Poor parents in the world, it turns out they are all for their children.

Thinking of this, I made up my mind at that time. When I return to Qianyang after the Chinese New Year, if I have a chance, I must help take care of this Wu Junxuan.

Lao Wu is almost 50 years old this year. If he can support his son until he graduates from college, given his family's current conditions, I can't imagine it.

When we returned to the village, we dispersed. After a busy day, we were all tired. As soon as we returned to Brother Zhang's house, we all rested separately, but I was lying on the bed, but I couldn't sleep no matter what. I was so confused.

After a long time, I finally decided to get up and practice.

I have to say that compared to Qianyang, this remote mountain is obviously more conducive to practice! I only practiced until midnight, and I recovered all the Qi that I had almost consumed during the day. If it were Qianyang,

At the very least, you have to practice until you can go up to three poles tomorrow morning, and only then is it possible...

After recovering the energy in my body, I suddenly couldn't sit still. I quickly picked up the "fire stick" again and looked at it over and over.

Judging from the appearance alone, no one would be willing to bend down to pick it up if it were thrown on the ground.

However, when I activated the Qi in my body and carefully moved towards its internal induction, I finally discovered some clues!

That's... the smell of thunder!

Suddenly, I felt happy, and I finally understood the origin of this "fire stick"!

Lightning strike wood! This is actually the thunder strike wood that Lao Zhangtou often talks about!

The so-called lightning-struck wood, as the name suggests, is wood that has been struck by lightning! Of course, this is not comprehensive. It must also be emphasized that after being struck by lightning, the tree is not dead and can still survive! Then remove it

Its tree core is the real lightning strike wood!

According to folklore, the thunder-struck tree was split by thunder and lightning from the sky, and ghosts are deeply afraid of it. It is the most powerful talisman to ward off evil spirits. Because the message of the Thunder God and the Mother of Thunder blocking the spirit body remains on the lightning-strike tree, it is extremely frightening to the spirit body.

It can be used as a talisman for the residence. Therefore, people often string a piece of thunderbolt 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 "catching on things" and it will be easier to feed.

In the Taoist concept, lightning-strike wood has been struck by lightning, and a part of the real thunder runes are naturally imprinted in the core of the tree, so it has the innate effect of suppressing evil and avoiding evil. Therefore, lightning-strike wood is often the best choice for making magic weapons.

Choices, such as the Lightning Strike Peach Wood Sword and the Thunder Strike Jujube Wood Seal!

According to the number of lightning strikes, it is divided into one lightning strike, two lightning strikes, three lightning strikes, up to nine lightning strikes... nine turns is the highest, and it is impossible to go up.

Because, the reason why lightning-struck trees appear is actually derived from the belief that all things have animism. Animals can cultivate into spirits, and trees can naturally do the same. However, if they are struck by lightning, it means that the spiritual consciousness of the spirit trees has begun to awaken.

So I suffered a thunderstorm!

Taoism emphasizes the return of nine to one, so the highest level of thunder calamity is only nine levels. Once a tree survives nine lightning strikes, it is considered to have attained the Tao! Therefore, the highest level of lightning struck wood is only nine levels!

I heard Lao Zhangtou say that the mahogany sword he broke before me seemed to be made of lightning-strike wood. But I don't know how many turns the fire stick in my hand was made?

Thinking of this, I became more and more excited. I quickly found a knife and carefully scraped away the burnt black part on the surface, only to reveal the bright-blooded tree core inside!

Sure enough! But looking at the color, I was convinced that this was indeed lightning strike wood! And looking at the wood, it happened to be mahogany!

Now you can make a lot of money! Even if you just turn the lightning strike wood, this "fire stick" can be made into a powerful peach wood sword!

"one two three……"

The further I scraped, the more excited I became, because in addition to the bright blood-like color, there were wisps of light golden texture at regular intervals, and each strand of such golden texture represented a lightning strike!

"seven!"

When I counted to the seventh strand of golden texture, I felt my breathing became a little heavier.

"eight!"

My heart trembled violently, and I quickly scraped it forward. Finally, I saw another light golden texture: "Nine!!!"

The ninth ray! A total of nine rays! Oh my god, this is the legendary nine-turn lightning strike wood? Damn it! This is not making a fortune, this is simply the ancestral graves of eighteen generations emitting green smoke at the same time

Got it!

No! Just the smoke is not enough, this is the rhythm that the ancestral graves are already on fire!

Nine turns of lightning strikes wood! What is this concept?

This is definitely the weapon-refining treasure that all practitioners dream of! Even if you don’t do anything, don’t add any other materials, and don’t carve any talismans on it, this can already be regarded as a powerful magic weapon.
Chapter completed!
