I am still very curious about the issue of lightning-struck wood, but I don’t feel comfortable asking anymore. I asked a lot of questions along the way, and I was really embarrassed to open my mouth.
Uncle Ma is worthy of being a person who climbs into trees with his tail inserted. He understood what I was thinking just by looking at me.
He took the initiative to tell me: "You have to remember that trees also have yin and yang. As long as they are yang trees, they can be used as lightning strikes."
I suddenly realized it and nodded: "Yes, I remember you said that peach wood and jujube wood are both yang trees, and they are the kind with strong yang energy."
Uncle Ma said: "Yes, in fact, pine trees are also Yang wood, and there are dragon energy and thunder energy here, which are full of spiritual power. So the wood struck by lightning does not necessarily have to be jujube wood, and the natural lightning struck jujube wood, etc., It’s not that easy to find.”
I then asked Uncle Ma: "Where can you usually find real lightning-struck jujube trees?"
Uncle Ma said: "It's not difficult to say that it's difficult. Just go to the grave and look for it. As long as you find a lone jujube tree near the grave, the probability of being struck by lightning is very high."
I asked again why this was happening, and why the jujube tree at the tomb was more likely to be chopped down?
Uncle Ma rolled his eyes and said, if there is nothing near the tomb and there is only a tree alone, who can I hit if I don't chop it?
This is true...it makes sense.
Master Ren rolled up his sleeves at this time and said to everyone.
"Okay, you two can go back and study this problem. Don't just stand around, start working!"
Next, we didn't have time to study the lightning-struck wood, so we started tinkering on the top of the mountain.
According to Uncle Ma's words, it is "repairing the barrier."
But in fact, this repairing barrier is different from what everyone imagined. There are no magical spells, and it is far less interesting than when saving Huang Long.
Generally speaking, everyone holds shovels and pickaxes, looks for holes and pits in the mountains, and fills them in.
Or where the trees are not growing well, we will prune them or simply knock them down.
Or if a certain hillside is too high, Uncle Ma and the others will take some small magic weapon, bury it in the soil, and then talk about it.
But despite the fact that this job sounds boring, it is actually very professional. You must have enough experience in Feng Shui theory and practice to be able to discover where you need to repair and where you need to adjust.
We were working and chatting. Only then did Master Ren take time out and asked me why I had such a deep connection with the dragon clan, and even two dragons helped me.
I was a little embarrassed to tell him that there were actually not two dragons, but three, and one was at home...
Master Ren was amazed and praised Uncle Ma, saying that he had found a treasure and received a good disciple.
Uncle Ma also reciprocated the courtesy and praised Huang Tianyou, saying that my apprentice has no ability and relies solely on the guidance of the Xian family. On the contrary, such a young apprentice like you is already a high-level master, which is even more rare.
Uncle Ma is right, I do rely on the Xian family to take care of me, but I am also very envious when I see them chatting and laughing.
Perhaps it was what Uncle Ma said just now that touched me. I looked at the people in front of me and couldn't help but ask Uncle Ma, can a Taoist really ascend to heaven and become a god after death?
Uncle Ma laughed loudly and said that being an immortal is not that simple. Even though there are many Taoist priests in the world, one may not be able to ascend to heaven and become an immortal in a hundred years.
He was quite emotional when he spoke. At this time, Mr. Ren smiled at me and said.
"Xiao Fan, don't listen to your master. In fact, becoming an immortal does not necessarily require ascending to heaven after death. As long as a person has enough faith and merit, he or she will be a living immortal. Remember, immortals are not in heaven, but in heaven. The world is in the heart of each of us.”
At this moment, I seemed to have an epiphany. I couldn't help but be so happy that I danced. My heart was filled with joy, peace, and endless energy.
However, this enthusiasm lasted until after three o'clock in the afternoon, and I really couldn't bear it anymore.
It's not that I'm tired, it's mainly that I'm hungry.
Because I just ate two steamed buns in the morning, and until now, I haven’t eaten anything.
Seeing that I couldn't do it anymore, Uncle Ma gloated: "You are really the God of the Earth. Damn it. You don't eat when I ask you to eat. Are you done now? Do you think you can survive the hunger with dragons and immortals?" ah?"
I also regretted it a bit. It seemed that this person really couldn't be pretentious. He gave me a roast rabbit for lunch, but I didn't eat it. Then he spent a lot of energy and got into a fight.
Therefore, I am really hungry now.
Huang Tianyou was laughing next to him, then took out two boiled eggs and a bottle of water and handed them to me.
"Eat, each of us has actually prepared dry food, this is for you."
"Isn't this bad..."
As I said this, I unknowingly took the boiled egg over, without even caring about peeling it off, and just broke it in half and gnawed it.
He quickly ate two eggs and drank a bottle of cold water, which relieved his stomach a little. Then he picked up the shovel and continued working.
Time passed slowly, and around 4:30, we finally finished repairing this hilltop.
Huang Tianyou wiped his sweat, then looked at the dragon pine longingly, and said: "Master, this tree has been struck by lightning. The pine tree is oily and has caused fire, so... although this is a pine tree, it is There is dragon energy and thunder energy inside, do we want it?"
His meaning is obvious, does he want to get rid of this tree?
Uncle Ma also touched his chin and said: "Master Ren, you can consider this. Anyway, now we have rescued Huanglong, the dragon's energy has gone underground, and the dragon's energy contained in this dragon pine has been released. Basically There’s no point in going up there, why don’t we…”
Mr. Ren's expression seemed a bit greedy, but he still shook his head: "No, we can move other trees. This dragon pine is made of dragon qi. If you move the dragon pine, it will destroy the underground dragon qi. Although the dragon qi is now exhausted. As long as it is cultivated slowly, it can still be born. Therefore, no matter how good this thing is, we cannot have selfish thoughts."
I couldn't help but secretly admire him, look at Mr. Ren's ideological consciousness, how high it is!
Unexpectedly, as soon as Master Ren finished speaking, he walked up to Long Song, reached out and patted the trunk, then found a scorched branch and broke it off without hesitation.
I couldn't help but be dumbfounded, what if we promised not to have selfish thoughts?
Mr. Ren chuckled, held up the branch and said, "This section is the damaged part. It can no longer survive. It will wither sooner or later. Breaking it off can be used to heal Long Song's injuries."
Uncle Ma touched his chin: "Yes, let's heal Long Song's injuries together!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Uncle Ma also walked over, picked two branches, and broke them all.
As soon as I saw Master Ren and Uncle Ma taking action, the others were also busy. They went up three times and divided five into two, and after a while they broke off more than a dozen pieces.
Mr. Ren also greeted me: "Xiao Fan, you also exerted great strength just now, and you are destined to the Dragon Clan. Do you want to come and help Long Song heal his injuries?"
I smiled and said, "Well, if that's the case, then I won't be polite. It's all fate anyway!"
But should I say it or not, I kept in mind what Mr. Ren and Uncle Ma said. I did not touch the trunk at all, nor did I touch the intact parts. I only picked the parts that were seriously damaged by splitting and the parts with obvious burn marks.
As Mr. Ren said, these are not alive, and breaking them off can be considered healing...
Finally, a few of us carried a pile of tree slivers and headed down the mountain bravely.
Xiao Shanzi had been waiting for us at Yingzuilizi, so we all gathered together, and in the afterglow of dusk, we sat in an ox cart and started the journey back.
