"How is this possible?" I was extremely shocked. It was incredible that there was a wooden figure inside the tree. There was actually a complete heart inside the wooden figure. The scientific knowledge I had spent more than ten years learning was overturned in an instant.

"Why is it impossible?" The master was not surprised, only secretly happy.

I plausibly said: "Humans are born from the union of sperm and eggs and are conceived in ten months. Trees do not differentiate between men and women and cannot mate. Their genes are completely different from those of humans. How can a human be born?"

The master blinked: "Then where do you think people come from?"

"From apes..." I originally wanted to say that humans evolved from apes, but I once saw a fox transform into a human, and now I have dug out a wooden man from a big tree with my own hands, and it even has a heart.

Do you dare to mention the "theory of evolution"?

The master did not make fun of me, but asked me to continue digging, and then said slowly: "Trees are still divided into male and female, but they are called male and female. Male trees do not bloom or only bloom but do not bear fruit. Female trees need pollen from male trees to bear fruit."

Even a tree without flowers or fruit can be divided into male and female, and all things are always yin and yang."

I feel a little embarrassed. This is common sense. I was just shocked and confused.

Master continued: "You should have heard that thousand-year-old ginseng and thousand-year-old polygonum multiflorum can turn into human forms, or even transform into real people, so what's so strange about a thousand-year-old tree turning into human form? However, this situation is still very rare.

Among a hundred ancient trees that are thousands of years old, there may not be one that can enlighten the mind; among a hundred ancient trees that have wisdom, there may not be one that can give birth to a human form. It is truly one in a million! Look at these two trees

The big camphor tree did not give birth to a wooden man."

I asked in shock: "Then if this big camphor tree had not been demonized and not struck to death by lightning, would the people inside have become alive?"

The master laughed: "Of course, but I'm afraid it will take ten thousand years to withstand the test of the heavenly tribulation and become not a mortal, but a god. In Taoism, there is a peach blossom girl, who is a peach tree that has grown into an immortal after ten thousand years.

.This large camphor tree is only over a thousand years old, so although it has a human shape, only one heart is truly formed."

This statement is so shocking. I prefer to believe that the lightning struck and burned it just to form a human shape, and there happened to be a heart-shaped tree in the middle of the tree. Otherwise, many deep-rooted thoughts and knowledge would be subverted. Fortunately, I am now

If I am not a teacher, how would I teach students?

After a lot of effort, I dug out the heart of the tree. The appearance is smooth and the outline is complete. It clearly looks like a human heart, but it is twice as big as a human heart and is quite heavy to hold in my hand. It is a pity that the heart of the tree has a

The smaller half was damaged by lightning and was full of cracks. Only about three-fifths of it was intact, hard as iron, smooth as jade, and fragrant.

"It's already half broken." I was a little disappointed, weighed it in my hands and handed it to Master.

After the master took it, his eyes shone brightly and he nodded repeatedly: "Yes, yes, there is more than half of it left. You are so lucky!"

Is this also called luck?

Master saw my doubts and said with a smile: "Don't underestimate this half of the heart. It is the purest core formed by the camphor tree for more than a thousand years. When the camphor tree is struck by lightning, the huge pressure will destroy it.

All the essence is compressed into the heart of this tree, so it contains

The spiritual power is far beyond your imagination. If you are not struck by lightning, you will never be able to compress the essence of the entire tree into such a small place. When struck by lightning, the core will usually be shattered. Occasionally, a little bit will be left.

The next half will be very lucky.”

I still have some doubts: "Master, this is the core of the demon tree, can it be used?"

The master smiled and handed the tree heart to me: "Try to sense it, is there still any evil spirit? Such a powerful thunder struck down, all the evil spirits, evil spirits, and impurities were refined, leaving behind the most evil spirit.

The pure essence of the camphor tree, which is why the lightning strike wood is particularly precious.”

I pressed my palms against the heart of the tree and concentrated on sensing it. Sure enough, there was no uncomfortable smell. There was a warm and refreshing feeling in my palms, and there seemed to be a refreshing fragrance of camphor tree penetrating into my body. It was refreshing.

"Hurry and put it away, don't let anyone see it. For Taoist priests and Mr. Yin and Yang, this is a rare treasure that can only be found!" the master sighed.

"Master, then the snake demon's tail spine is also a treasure?"

The master said: "I'm not sure about this. Its whole body was turned into coke by lightning. Only this tail thorn is left. There should be something special. You will know after you go back and practice it. Now chop more of this wood."

Cut it into several pieces and chop the parts that look like people so as not to scare the villagers.

…

After returning home, Master couldn't wait to ask me to start processing the tree heart. What can this half of the heart be used for? I thought about it for a long time and had no idea. Finally, Master came up with the idea and asked me to carve it into a seal, which is the seal used when drawing talismans.

The seal can add spiritual power and power to the talisman. It can also be used as an array weapon to directly suppress ghosts and evil spirits.

It is best to source, make, refining, and warm up the magical instruments you use yourself, so Master asked me to make them myself.

I have never learned to carve, and the tree core is extremely hard, and the tools are not easy to use. The master also requires that the leftover materials should be kept as intact as possible for other uses, so it is extremely difficult. After two days of grinding, I carved out several pieces on my hand.

The blisters gloriously left several cuts on the finger, making it look like an official seal. The seal was just a big lump, not engraved into anything concrete.

The master said that it doesn’t matter whether it’s pretty or not, and it doesn’t affect the use effect. I’ll carve it slowly later when I have the time and energy. Next, I have to carve words on the smoothed side. The master wrote two crooked seal characters on the rice paper.

, and then ask me to engrave it in turn.

"Master, is this the word Shenma?"

"It's not a magic horse, it's the word 'psychic'." The master seemed to hate the fact that steel cannot be transformed into steel. He shook his head repeatedly, "I don't even know the word psychic. Nowadays, children have read books in vain."

I wonder who is still learning seal script these days? Moreover, these two characters have been rewritten and are almost like runes. I was a little confused: "Master, it seems that you use a lot of seal scripts, and Lu Chengshan also uses a lot of seal scripts.

Why do I have so few prints?”

The master said: "This varies from person to person. I use the 'Three Realms Hunyuan General Photographer Seal of the Ten Thousand Gods', some people use the 'Jade Emperor Seal', and some people use the 'Tai Shang Laojun Seal'.

Others depend on the sect, and there are dozens of different types. I told you, spiritual power is the driving force of all talismans, spells, and incantations. As long as you have strong spiritual power, you can scare the demons even by saying a word.

.You have spiritual roots, and there is also a thousand-year-old demon fox in your body, so the most important thing for you is to 'channel', communicate with the demon fox and various gods, and borrow their spiritual power, so that you can maximize your potential.

Play it out.”

I understood and said with a smile: "Then when I recite the mantra, do I have to recite 'The vixen is as urgent as the law'?"

"Haha..." Master laughed.

When I hid at home for a few days, there was a lot of news outside. My neighbors all over the village knew that a thousand-year-old tree in our village had turned into a monster and almost killed the whole village. Later, it was struck by lightning, and there was a huge wooden tree above it.

People... reporters from several newspapers and TV stations came to interview me, but I had closed the door long ago and no one could see me. Master said that you should keep a low profile.

The unrecognizable wooden figure has been chopped into pieces by the villagers and taken home as firewood. The dead poultry and livestock in the village have been disposed of long ago. Although the villagers made wild claims, the reporter did not get direct evidence. The person who died in this incident

There was only one Sheng Yu Po, but she was killed by his crazy son... In the end, this supernatural incident only appeared in a corner of a certain newspaper. On a certain day and a certain place in a certain month, a thousand-year-old tree was struck down by lightning.

, fortunately no one was injured or injured.

For the people in our village, this incident was extremely terrifying and will never be forgotten. But for those who have not experienced it personally, it is just a story and a legend. Lao Lin came back a few days later and also sneered at the incident:

"I'm just pretending to be a ghost again. I've been talking for a long time. Isn't it just thunder that knocked down the tree?"

Master just smiled at this and did not take matters seriously with Lao Lin. He asked Lao Lin to make a dagger from the horny thorns on the snake demon's tail and gave it to me. After Master's treatment, the horns had turned as red as fire, and the handle was

The horns of an old mountain muntjak are small and bell-shaped, only eight inches long in total.

Although the tail thorn of the snake demon is very hard, it must be horny. There are no sharp edges on both sides, so it cannot be used to cut things. The master said that this tail thorn contains the most yang poison, which can attack ghosts, zombies, and all yin-type spirits.

It can cause damage to the body and monsters. The only regret is that the five-step snake only has a cultivation level of one or two hundred years, so its effectiveness is a bit inferior. It is not considered top-grade and cannot be compared with my psychic god wood seal.

Suddenly I had two magical instruments, so I had another job. I had to offer them in front of the statue every day, hold them in my hand and recite some mantras after offering them, and hang them on my chest when practicing.

Master also said that after I have mastered the spiritual energy, I must regularly mobilize the spiritual energy to touch them and communicate with them. This is a warm and nourishing magic weapon. Good materials must be carefully tempered and cultivated for many years to truly exert their power. Otherwise, they are just wood.

One piece for myself.

One day when I went out, I saw my grandma and a group of old ladies rushing to Fengtou Hall with incense, candles, paper money and offerings, so I asked her what she was doing. My grandma told me with a mysterious look on her face that on the day of the thunder, someone saw the Fairy Goddess appearing in the sky.

, now I want to thank you.

I was a little shocked. Wasn't it my hallucination that day? The image of Xianniang really appeared in the sky? I went to Fengtou Hall to have a look. I felt that Fengtou Hall was much brighter than before. Although it was dilapidated, it was not gloomy.

Everyone else thought that the matter was over and the world was at peace, but my resident Xu Jianmao didn't think so. He turned into a zombie and his whereabouts are still unknown. Hundreds of people were sent out to search for it, but nothing was found. Later, the police

They also came to help and brought police dogs, but nothing was found. The old zombie seemed to have suddenly disappeared from the world.

People from the Xu family asked my master more than once, and my master said he didn't know. But one time when we were chatting, he let it slip that the old zombie might have gone to Menggui Village.

The so-called "Menggui Village" refers to a small village in the Shechang Valley of Yunding Mountain. It is said that there used to be a group of fierce bandits entrenched in it, and then all of them died mysteriously. There were also fierce ghosts running rampant during the day, and no one dared to approach, so it was called

Menggui cottage.

Yunding Mountain is dozens of miles away from our village. The mountain is extremely high and dangerous, with cliffs and deep ravines everywhere. The top of the mountain is shrouded in clouds and mist all year round. Can an old zombie go that far? Why do ghosts like to go there? I'm extremely concerned about this.

I was curious, but Master seemed to be hiding it from me on purpose. He would change the subject every time I mentioned it.
