This huge "tree root nodule" actually showed an unusual charred black color, and the shape of the old man's face on it also appeared dark.
Especially the corners of the eyes and the forehead area. If you look closely, you will find damage and "charring".
It's like...
It’s like being struck by lightning or burned by fire!
I was horrified.
"Could it be that this big banyan tree was struck by lightning and fell into a long sleep?"
I hesitated for a moment, then reached out my hand and carefully touched the nodule in the shape of a human face.
said softly.
"Master Shu, were you struck by lightning and fell into a deep sleep before the arrival of the two ancestors, or was it after the establishment of Wujia Village?"
I think it will most likely be later.
Otherwise, why can only the blood of the Wu family wake it up from its slumber?
It is very likely that the two ancestors of Wu Shi and Wu Yuan had in-depth communication with it and reached some unknown agreement.
If we speculate further, it might even be the "village protecting tree" of Wujiacun!
It's just that he may have fallen into deep sleep due to some reasons or accidents.
Sudden!
Boom, boom...
In the sky above our heads, bursts of thunder rolled past.
I subconsciously looked up and saw that the clear sky that had just been filled with twinkling stars was now covered with dark clouds, making it so dark that I couldn't see clearly.
"It seems that when I checked the weather forecast this morning, there will indeed be thunderstorms in the evening."
I think back.
Sizzling, crackling, crackling!
Along with the sound of electric current, the palm placed on the face-shaped root nodule of the big banyan tree suddenly felt a slight tingling sensation.
"what happened?!"
I frowned slightly and retracted my hand subconsciously. The palms were slightly burnt, as if they had been electrocuted.
Only then did I realize that on the "human face" root nodules embedded in the tree trunk in front of me, there were traces of blue arcs jumping, flashing, and crackling.
"Could it be that……"
I looked up again at the thick black clouds in the sky.
Boom! ! !
Deep in the clouds, thunder roared, and from time to time thunder and lightning flashed and wandered among them.
Whether from a metaphysical or scientific perspective, thunder is one of the most terrifying forces in the world. Full of violent destruction and destruction...
At the same time, it also represents the ultimate uprightness. Since ancient times, there has been a saying that "thunder destroys evil spirits".
Folklore is, of course, half-truth and half-falsehood. In fact, no matter you are good or evil, as long as a "non-human" intelligent being has reached a certain level of cultivation, it is very easy to be struck by thunder!
Corpses, ghosts, demons (animals), spirits (plants, trees, mountains and rocks)... these psychic beings, once they have a certain level of wisdom and practice to a certain extent, the auras they release will trigger thunder under certain circumstances.
Only human practitioners do not have to worry about being actively "patronized" by thunder at any time - the so-called "thunder tribulation" in fantasy novels does not exist in the reality of supernatural practice.
I once asked Master for advice on this issue.
She said that from a metaphysical point of view, human beings are the spirit of all things and the beloved of God. Perhaps this is a little "privilege" bestowed by heaven?
From a scientific point of view, lightning is caused by the collision of positive and negative charges. Generally, thunderstorms occur in thunderclouds because the charges on the upper and lower layers of a thunderstorm are different.
Once the thunderclouds are low, various objects on the ground will also be charged. Once they attract each other and break through the air, they will turn into thunder and lightning.
The cultivation of all things is essentially a leap-forward evolution of a single individual creature in a very short period of time. Perhaps it is the biological energy that comes with this kind of evolution - in metaphysics, it is called true energy, demon energy, ghost energy, corpse energy, etc. Only the "true energy" of human monks is least likely to collide with the electric charge in the thunder clouds. .
Now I can be sure that the "village guarding tree" in Wujia Village in front of me must have suffered a thunderstorm!
And judging from the charred and charred appearance of the nodule, I'm afraid it happened more than once.
But even so, it still maintains strong vitality. The branches are luxuriant, the branches are knotted, and the canopy covers a radius of several hundred meters.
It's just that I'm in a weird state. Even after being awakened by my blood, I still can't respond to my spiritual communication...
"Master Shu, what happened between the two ancestors of the Wu family and you when they came here?"
I looked at the old man's face with his eyes closed in the tree trunk and murmured to myself.
Boom!
Crack!
The thunder and lightning in the sky were finally released completely. It was no longer the muffled thunder suppressed in the clouds, but a loud roar that made the earth tremble. The thick blue lightning was like a terrifying dragon swimming in the sky.
Blah blah blah, blah blah.
The heavy rain also fell.
I suddenly felt a warning sign.
"It's easy to get struck by lightning when you're under a big tree during a thunderstorm! You have to leave quickly."
Although it is said that Thunder will not be attracted by the true energy of human monks and take the initiative to strike at you, but you are looking for death and deliberately standing under a big tree - or maybe under a thousand-year-old tree that has suffered a thunder disaster, then it is no wonder that Lei is !
But what I never expected was...
I was just about to leave the canopy of this "village-protecting tree" temporarily, and planned to study it again when the weather was fine. Anyway, we have to stay in Wujiacun for more than a week.
Sudden!
The leaves of the old banyan tree glowed, and more silver threads hung down from them, which instantly closed inward, forming a silver cage-like trapping formation. It intercepted me directly and trapped me within the scope of the big tree.
"What's going on? What do you mean, you don't allow me to leave, Master Shu?"
I was shocked and confused. I looked back at the root nodule that looked like an old man's face, but there was no reaction.
In fact, although this silver trap is not weak in strength, I should be able to break it into pieces with a full slash of my star blade and escape smoothly.
But the problem is, I am a little unclear about the meaning of this "Tree Master" who seems to be awake but not awake, and I can't attack it rashly.
However, the next moment, I didn’t care about so much anymore!
Because... boom! ! !
There was a huge, deafening explosion above my head, as if thunder had hit my skull directly. It made my gums numb and my fingertips numb. The surrounding valleys were filled with echoes.
This thunder is too close!
"Holy shit! Run quickly, it's too late."
I quickly waved the star blade and sent out a silver sword slash forward.
At the same time, my heart was filled with anguish.
Could it be that I had mistakenly thought that this big banyan tree was not the "village protecting tree" of Wujia Village at all, but that it had a grudge against the Wu family?
Otherwise, why would they "deliberately" trap me in it at the critical moment and be struck by lightning together with it!
Zheng……
The silver sword Qi of the Star Blade did split open the trap in front of him, but just at this moment! Before I could even rush forward, a blue lightning bolt as thick as a bucket fell from the sky and struck the top of the big banyan tree.
Boom... click, sizzle, crackle, crackle!
The explosion of thunder and the sound of lightning thunder mixed together, carrying the terrifying aura of supreme strength and destruction.
In an instant, the entire tree glowed with blue light, and almost every branch and leaf was bathed in thunder and lightning. If someone saw it from a distance at this time, it would look like a blue-lighting torch.
And I, who is under the tree, of course also have to bear the thunder bombardment with it - even though it is only a very small part that escapes.
But I am just a human being of flesh and blood. Even if my actual combat power is comparable to that of the [Spiritarian] realm, I dare not say that I can just rely on my body to resist the thunder bombardment.
In particular, this mine is very close to the ground and very large. The power is probably beyond ordinary thunder.
I have an intuition that even a true [Energy-eating Realm] monk would die on the spot if he received such a blow.
"Damn it, this is going to end!!!"
I screamed crazily in my heart, and the true energy in my body was running like crazy, all released, condensed to the maximum extent, and covered the surface of my body. At the same time, he seized the last moment and stacked five [Shield Talismans] on his body to protect himself. Chisong's spiritual power was also instantly released from the Niwan Palace between the eyebrows, transforming into the simplest thunder spell in the Liang family's [Thunder Qi Yuanlu] - because it was too late to do a more complicated one!
I'm not sure about this either.
"Master Tree... no, tree demon! If I'm lucky enough to survive, I won't be done with you later."
It’s so frustrating.
I didn’t die in a fight with demons, ghosts, and evil cultivators. Instead, I was struck to death by a thunderbolt because I looked at the tree out of curiosity!
Finally, the "remaining power" of this terrifying thunder passed from the big banyan tree to my body, and the blue and purple thunder light flooded me like a tide...
