A treasure-appraisal maniac

Seeing this section of scorched tree, Lu Fei's eyes flashed with excitement and his heart surged with excitement.

Looking at the texture and thickness of the tree, Lu Fei judged that it was at least 150 years old.

The top is slanted and fractured, and the black scorched beard has been carbonized.

Along the fracture, a mark two fingers wide, nearly two centimeters deep, and more than one meter long ran straight down.

This is not caused by man, but a trace of being struck by lightning.

It is easy to tell from the appearance of the fractures and the entire tree that the tree was split by lightning and caught fire.

It didn't burn for long before it was extinguished by the rain that followed.

Judging from various manifestations, the tree was chopped down at least five years ago. .??.

This is not the most important thing. What is important is that this is a peach tree.

An old peach tree that is over 150 years old.

And it was an old peach tree that was struck down by lightning.

Strong wind blew through the crack in the upper half, making a clanking sound of metal.

It's not easy to make such a sound.

Only the charred wood split by the first thunder of spring can make this sound.

As for the principle of this, science still does not have a perfect explanation.

Taoists believe that the first thunder of spring can be so strong that it can wipe out all evil spirits.

Although thunder is not among the five elements, in the Bagua, thunder belongs to wood.

Therefore, when lightning strikes a tree, that kind of divine power can be stored in the tree.

However, trees in general can only store it for a short period of time, and only peach and jujube trees can seal this magical power.

The reason why the metal-like sound is emitted, Daomen believes, is that the trees contain divine power.

The peach and jujube trees struck by the first lightning in spring have been Taoist weapons since ancient times.

Since peach wood itself has the function of warding off evil spirits, it is best to strike peach wood with lightning.

Previously, Lu Fei accidentally got a small piece of 20-year-old lightning-struck peach wood in a Bianliang tea shop, which Lu Fei regarded as a treasure.

So far, I have only made a few small beads to make protective plaques for Chen Xiang and Kong Jiaqi.

Lu Fei kept the rest in his bag and carried it with him, but he kept

Not willing to use it again.

Lu Fei cherishes the twenty-year-old lightning-struck wood.

Lu Fei was so excited that he almost went crazy when he saw the huge lightning-struck peach tree in front of him, which was more than 150 years old.

This is a supreme treasure, and its value cannot be measured in terms of money.

If Ma Qingfeng saw him, the old Taoist priest would be so excited that his pigtails would curl up.

After circling the lightning strike tree twice, the corners of Lu Fei's mouth turned up in an unimaginable arc.

At this moment, the little milk dog and the others ran over panting heavily.

Seeing Lu Fei giggling around a section of burnt trees, everyone was immediately stunned.

After being stunned for a moment, everyone was about to come over, but Lu Fei quickly waved his hand to stop them.

"Don't even come here!"

"Brother, you must be possessed!"

"What are you giggling over there?"

The little puppy said and took two more steps forward.

"stop!"

"do not come!"

"Brother, what's wrong with you?"

"It's not like you stepped on a landmine!"

"Don't be afraid of hurting me. We are brothers and we will die together."

"Pooh!"

"If you want to die, you die, I haven't lived enough!"

"Don't come over here yet. Have you seen those dead and charred branches on the ground?"

"Gather these for me."

"As long as it's not rotten, don't even let go of the scraps." Lu Fei said.

"Well."

"Brother, do you want this thing to be of any use?" asked the little naughty dog.

"This is lightning-struck peach wood, and every scrap is a treasure."

"What?"

"Thunder struck wood?"

"That's right!"

"real

Fake? "

"I mean it when I say it."

Weng——

Although these young and old people can't understand it, everyone is aware of the fame and role of Lightning Strike Wood.

When they heard that it was lightning that struck the tree, everyone except Zhu Tianbao became uneasy.

Everyone rushed forward and picked it up frantically.

The little puppy rushed to the front and grabbed a branch that was more than two meters long and thick at the wrist.

As a result, he screamed in agony the next second, and his palms were stabbed with blood.

"Brother, it hurts!"

"Idiot!" .??.

"That's a fucking locust tree branch."

"puff."

"Hahaha"

Everyone burst into laughter.

"Why are you laughing? Why are you laughing?"

"You didn't tell me earlier, so I got stabbed. What's your intention?" the little dog complained.

"Can't you tell the difference between a locust tree and a peach tree?"

"You insist on picking the big one, how can you blame me?" Lu Fei said.

"If you don't tell me, how will I know which one is Taomu?"

"Locust trees have thorns, but peach trees don't."

"There is only one peach tree in this area. The one without thorns is dark in color." Lu Fei said.

"You told me earlier, it's true!"

"Stop talking nonsense and pick it up quickly."

"Watch your step, don't let go of any debris."

"These are all big treasures!"

The little guys were picking it up enthusiastically, and Zhu Tianbao came to Lu Fei and asked with a confused look on his face.

"Brother Fei, what's the use of this crap?"

"This is lightning strike wood, used to ward off evil spirits."

"It's very valuable when made into utensils. Your second uncle understands."

"You can't exchange all of your second uncle's belongings for a piece of debris the size of a cigarette box," Lu Fei said.

"Hiss——"

\u003e

"So valuable?"

"Well, I'm going to pick up branches too."

When Zhu Tianbao heard that the value was so great, he couldn't wait to join the picking process, but Lu Fei stopped him with a smile.

"Don't be anxious. I said, if you follow me, everyone will share the benefits."

"I'll give you a big piece later and give it to your second uncle. Your second uncle will be extremely happy."

"hey-hey!"

"Thank you, Brother Fei!"

"Then I'll go over and help!" Zhu Tianbao said excitedly.

"No need for your help."

"Let me ask you, why is there such an old peach tree in this locust forest?" Lu Fei asked.

"I heard this from the old man."

"It turns out that there is only one peach tree in our village. It is said that this tree is quite old."

"Old people say that in the early years, the peaches produced by this tree were large and sweet."

"But after a few years, the tree may be too old and stop bearing fruit."

"The old people thought that this land was suitable for peach trees to grow, so they planted a peach grove on the top of the sunny south slope where the soil was better."

"The peach forest where we were looking for the tomb just now was planted there later."

"But after three years, the fruit bears fruit, and the taste and size are far worse than the peaches from this tree."

"Later, the old people used the branches of this old tree to graft them, and the peaches that grew out were big, sweet, juicy, and extremely delicious."

"So, the old people call this old peach tree the mother tree."

"In the past, when they were pruning and grafting in the spring, the old people would kowtow to this peach tree covered in red and colorful colors."

"Unfortunately, in the spring five or six years ago, this peach tree was struck by lightning."

"The old people said that this tree was going to become a spirit. They were punished when they were going through the heavenly tribulation. They said that this tree was an unlucky thing."

"Since then, very few people have come here."

"This area used to be neatly maintained, and these small locust branches have all grown in the past five or six years."
