Mystery Leaks

Chapter 225 Lightning Strikes Mahogany
"Go back and see if there is anything missing." Huang Mao made a decisive decision.

So we ran back and went back to the peach forest. After looking at it, we found that the thunder should have fallen directly from the sky, slanted across the side of the tree trunk, and part of it fell to the ground, leaving a washbasin on the ground. Such a big burnt hole.

Some scorched bark and branches are attached to the yellow mud, the roots are not burnt, and a thin layer of peach gum still secretes from the split opening, which proves that it has not been chopped to death, and has survived a catastrophe. Fine lightning strike wood.

"Unfortunately, the main trunk has been cut off, and the branches are not very useful. That thunderbolt was the first thunderbolt before the hailstorm. The power of the thunder element is the strongest, and the lightning strike wood produced is definitely the top grade among the top grades." Huang Mao said regretfully.

"Come on, there's another tree here!" At this moment, Cao Nan suddenly shouted in surprise not far away.

We hurried over to have a look, and couldn't help but be overjoyed. There was indeed a tree, but it was smaller, and it was on the edge. The middle of the trunk was bent, and part of it was cut off.

But it shouldn't be a big problem to make three mahogany swords, maybe one of the swords will be shorter, because the curved part is useless.

"Cut it off, if we don't take it, others will take it first." Hu Lai said.

Cao Nan nodded, and immediately ran back to pick up the machete, cut down the trunk and removed the branches.

Taking advantage of this time, I went back to my grandfather's grave to look, and found that the peach tree that was stolen was right next to my grandfather's grave, in the center of the peach forest.

Strange to say, the peach trees grow better in the middle of the peach grove, with thick and straight trunks.

The closer the edge is, the worse it is. Not to mention the shortness of the trees, the growth is also a bit crooked.

Peach trees are not the kind of building materials that are straight to the sky. It really takes luck to get a trunk that is long enough, has full annual rings, and has survived being struck by lightning.

Perhaps it is related to the fire dragon veins under the peach grove.

This fire dragon vein extends from Jinpen Mountain, and it is precisely this that Grandpa took a fancy to, so he planted these exotic peach trees.

What puzzles me is why the first thunder struck the peach forest?
Less than 20 meters away from the peach forest, there is a small pine and bamboo forest, which is much taller than the peach trees. The lightning did not strike the tall ones, but the low peach trees, which is incomprehensible.

At this time, Cao Nan had already put down the lightning strike wood, carried it back, and beckoned me to go over.

When I got back to the old house, I opened the door and took a look, and found that there were some leaks in the house, and water had entered the back hall, but the problem was not serious.

Afterwards we went back to Cao Nan's timber warehouse. Cao Nan's family ran a timber business. He was half a carpenter, and it was not difficult to make a few mahogany swords.

The three of them worked together for a long time, but in the end they got into trouble.

There are twists and turns in the middle of the mahogany, and it is difficult to take the three swords, and the curved part at the back occupies almost half of it, and the waste is serious.It is not possible to make three by force, but the width and thickness of the three will not be enough, and they will be easily broken. One of them must be short, so it can only be made into a dagger, and the waste is also serious.

There are four of us now, Cao Nan already has a golden gong, and it is most suitable to make three mahogany swords, one for each person, so that everyone will have a magic weapon.Now the situation is getting more and more complicated. Without a magic weapon at hand, it is too dangerous to face those ghosts and evil spirits; only with a capable guy can you have courage.

Afterwards, the three of them discussed several plans, but they were still not ideal. The biggest problem was that the mahogany half body was bent, and a large piece was chopped off obliquely by Lei. And too much.

I looked at the curved section of mahogany, and my heart moved, and I asked, "Can I make a knife at the curved place?" If I could make a knife at the curved place, it would save the material for a sword. , and make two more swords, the margin will be more abundant.

"Knife?"

Huang Mao and Hu Lai looked at each other, Hu Lai nodded, and said: "It is possible, but the mahogany knife is just a knife, it is difficult to call it a magic weapon. Curses are both swords, although the difference is only one word, there is a difference between cloud and mud."

"In other words, there is no way to use a sword to cooperate with the spell. The effect has to be greatly discounted, and you can only rely on the yang energy and thunder power of the sword itself." Huang Mao also said.

I shrugged and said indifferently: "Does it matter, anyway, I don't know how to recite mantras."

I also asked Huang Mao and Hu Lai about mantra chanting before, because chanting mantras is the basic skill of people who practice Dharma. Without mantras, many things cannot be done.For example, collecting souls, exorcising ghosts, etc., all require spells.

I tried to learn it before, but found that it is not that simple. It is an advantage to learn spells from a young age. When you grow up, your tongue will be stereotyped, so you will get twice the result with half the effort.At the beginning, I thought that a mantra was just a piece of text, which could be recited as long as you read and read, but it was not until I came into contact with it that it was not like that at all.

Although there are words in the mantra, its syllables are very different from speech. Some syllables are not even uttered by ordinary people. There are also rhythm problems. In addition, the speed of chanting mantras is often very fast, which also brings difficulties.

After learning for a while, not to mention the speed of speech, it may take three to five years to pronounce those syllables correctly; the rice bowl of Fashixing is not so good.In order to obtain abilities that are different from ordinary people, the people of Fashixing have lost a lot and paid a lot.

"Are you sure you want a knife?" Huang Mao asked solemnly.

I nodded and said, "Anyway, I don't know how to recite mantras. It's not bad at all. Knives are more murderous. I like knives."

When watching TV and movies, I hate the characters with sticks and fists the most, because the bad guys can't be beaten to death, and if they are not careful, they will be messed up.The same goes for the sword, limp and without any momentum.

The knife is still refreshing, one knife at a time, and the scene of blood rushing, looks cool.Maybe it's because I really have a hostile spirit deep in my heart, and I like the murderous and evil spirit on the knife.

"It's easy to handle. There is enough material for the curved part, and it can be made wider." Cao Nan said confidently.

"Try to be as weighty as possible," I said.

"Okay!" Cao Nan responded, and immediately took out the tool, cut the skin and melted the ink line, and then carefully cut it with the machine.

This busy work is a morning.After lunch, two mahogany swords and a mahogany knife were finally born alive.

The sword is three feet and three feet long, and it is the most standard mahogany magic sword. Although it is just a white board, it is sharp enough to match the handicrafts on the market, and it is very beautifully polished.

The knife is shorter and three feet long, but it is much thicker. Let alone slaying ghosts, it is uncomfortable enough to be cut on a human body.After that, Hu Lai used the remaining materials to get some mahogany nails, mahogany daggers and so on. In case the long sword breaks, a short sword is also good.

Huang Mao and Hu Lai also explained that when the dharma utensils are not used at home, they should not be thrown away in a corner, but should be placed in the main hall to worship and burn incense every day, so as to make the dharma utensils more and more spiritual, so that they can be used more and more in the future The easier it is.

I don't understand the reason for doing this, but Huangmao said yes, and I'm still more worried about whether the peach wood will crack.

After offering the mahogany knife, I thought of Chen Laogen and called him, wanting to question why he stole my mahogany.

I said in my heart that if you want to say no, it's over. The peach tree is thicker than three peach wood swords. It's not a big deal to share one with him. Why steal it?
But the phone still couldn't get through, so I had no choice but to send him a text message.

As a result, a text message came back from the other side, with a very firm tone: You have identified the wrong person, I did not return to my hometown!

I was stunned and thought, could it not be him?But wearing cloth shoes, his running speed is not slow, and his water quality is still good. Who else could he be?After thinking about it, I asked again, but I never returned.

When the person who stole the mahogany tree fled before, he only glanced at it from a distance, and didn't see his figure clearly at all. He felt like a ghost, a little erratic.

But the ghost dare not touch the peach tree struck by lightning, otherwise it will not die quickly enough.

After thinking about it, I called Huang Mao and asked him about the footprints. He had tracked down Chen Laogen before, so there should be a comparison.

Huang Mao recalled for a while, "Tsk, after you reminded me, that person really doesn't seem to be Chen Laogen, because the footprints left by that person today seem to be a little longer than Chen Laogen's, and the focus is not too strong. Same."
