Chapter 33: Thunder Strikes Peach Wood

Zhang Ming didn't know the details of what happened a thousand years ago.

He just heard Hong You say that his soul was scattered a thousand years ago, and now, a thousand years later, he finally gathered his soul and reincarnated.

Hong You didn't seem to want to mention too much other news.

Zhang Ming asked, but Hong You didn't even say much.

However, now suddenly telling Zhang Ming that the Ghost Emperor will be crowned in a year, and wanting Zhang Ming to seize the position of Ghost Emperor at that time, Zhang Ming felt a little puzzled.

Despite this, Zhang Ming still believed in Hong You. After all, at this point, Hong You might be the most trustworthy person in the world.

"I know, I will try my best to cultivate my soul, and then, I will definitely strive for the position of Ghost Emperor."

Zhang Ming knew that no matter what kind of fate or hidden story there was. But since Hong You doesn't say it now, there must be a reason.

In this case, why not wait until she is willing to say it.

Hong You smiled and took Zhang Ming's hand, saying: "I believe you can return completely and return to the position of Ghost Emperor!"

"Of course, I was the strongest Ghost Emperor a thousand years ago, and a thousand years later, I can still do it!"

For some reason, Zhang Ming was suddenly very confident at this moment, and an inexplicable aura appeared in his body, which surprised Hong You for a while...

After waking up the next day, Zhang Ming took a few clothes, carried a backpack, and went to the countryside by car.

His hometown is in Zhangjiawan, a very ordinary village.

The village has long been connected to cement roads, and there are also vans to pick up passengers in the countryside, which is not bad.

And I heard that they are still doing new rural construction.

Zhang Ming took a bus to Zhangjiawan and found that the countryside had changed a lot after not coming back for a few months. Many small rural buildings have been built on both sides of the road.

Zhangjiawan Village is next to the road. The village is quite large. Although many young people work in the city or town, there are still many people in the village.

After walking for less than a minute, Zhang Ming saw his old brick house that had been renovated for almost ten years.

Next to the brick house is a vegetable field. At this moment, he saw his grandparents watering the vegetable field.

"Grandpa, grandma." Zhang Ming shouted and ran up.

The two old people were also very happy to see their grandson come back, and Zhang Ming also took out some things he bought from the city for the two old people.

The weather in the countryside is not as hot as in the city. There is a breeze blowing from time to time, which is very comfortable.

Zhang Ming's grandparents continued to water the vegetables, and Zhang Ming walked alone on some nearby paths and ridges, enjoying the cool breeze. From

time to time, he saw some childhood friends in the village because they all came back for summer vacation, and they couldn't help chatting together.

However, during this process, Zhang Ming saw that there was a big tree below their village, near the cemetery. At this moment, it was broken, and the broken part was charred.

It looked like it was burned.

Seeing this, Zhang Ming asked a childhood friend named Zhang Hui: "Hui, what's wrong with this tree?"

In Zhang Ming's memory, when he was a child, this tree was very thick, and several people couldn't hug it. It was the largest tree around.

According to the old people in the village, this tree is thousands of years old and is a peach tree.

However, this statement may be exaggerated. The lifespan of ordinary peach trees is only ten to forty years. It is very rare to see a hundred years old, let alone a thousand years old.

But the trunk of the peach tree is indeed very thick, and it is very likely to be a peach tree of hundreds of years.

But why is it burnt and broken now?

Zhang Hui said, "You don't know, this tree was suddenly struck by a bolt of lightning in the clear sky a few days ago. At that time, the whole tree caught fire and burned the tree clean, leaving only a stump."

"Is there such a thing?" Zhang Ming was surprised when he heard it, and walked over with Zhang Hui to look at the only one-meter-high stump left.

The surroundings of the stump were still charred, but when Zhang Ming approached and took a closer look, he found that the stump actually contained extremely strong yang energy.

He could not help but be surprised, thinking: "Yes, this is probably a peach wood that is hundreds of years old. Peach wood is spiritual and extremely yang, and it is a wood that wards off evil spirits and ghosts.

Later, it was struck by thunder and burned by fire. Wouldn't all this make the peach wood have more yang? And... since the tree was struck by thunder during a drought, I'm afraid this tree may already have a lot of spiritual energy."

Thinking of this, Zhang Ming's heart suddenly itched.

The peach wood sword made of ordinary peach wood that he bought from Gu Qi still had a certain power when used.

So if he used this hundred-year-old peach wood that was extremely spiritual, struck by thunder during a drought, and burned by thunder and fire to make a peach wood sword, what a great treasure it would be?

Thinking of this, he said to Zhang Hui: "Do me a favor, I want a piece of this peach tree stump."

Then, Zhang Ming and Zhang Hui went home to get a saw, sawed half a centimeter from the root of the tree, and cut down from the top of the stump, only taking a piece of wood that was one meter long, almost one centimeter wide, and half a centimeter thick.

This piece of wood, for the whole stump, was just a little bit of the edge.

Zhang Ming took this piece of wood home, and carefully cut it with a knife, and slowly, the wood was cut into the shape of a sword.

When he was a child, he and his friends made wooden swords, which were still very simple.

After it was done, Zhang Ming found sandpaper in the house and polished it gently, making a peach wood sword very compact.

Perhaps because the peach wood is too old, the color is good, the density is high, it is very solid and strong, and it even feels very heavy. It doesn't look like wood, but more like iron, very heavy. Maybe it

's because of the age, or it may be because of lightning and fire, anyway, the peach wood sword is a black and red color as a whole.

Holding this peach wood sword made by himself, Zhang Ming swung it twice, feeling very smooth and good in the hand. In short, he likes it very much.

Looking at some of the remaining wood blocks on the ground, Zhang Ming started to make some small knives the size of fingers, like flying.

A total of seven were made. Because they were very small, Zhang Ming put them all in his pants pocket and carried them with him.

By this time, it was already dark.

Zhang Ming's grandmother prepared dinner and asked Zhang Ming to eat.

After dinner, the sky outside was completely dark.

After sitting in the yard with grandpa and grandma for a short while, they told Zhang Ming to go back to the house and go to bed early.

Zhang Ming did not think much about it and went back to the house. But he would not go to bed so early. Instead, he heard the noise and saw that grandpa and grandma were asleep, so he got up quietly and ran to the yard to prepare for cultivation.

Just kidding, the spirit in the countryside must be better than the park in the city.

However, as soon as he went out and entered the yard, he was surprised to find that there was a very thick fog around the yard.

The fog was so heavy that he could hardly see anything.

"Why are you dancing in the hot summer?" Zhang Ming was a little confused.

But he did not think much about it and sat in the yard to prepare for cultivation.

But just after he sat down, he vaguely heard some babbling sounds coming from afar, vague and ethereal, but he could hear them.

"This... is it true? Did I encounter evil spirits again? Why do I always encounter them?" Zhang Ming was speechless.

But then he thought again, it's not that he always encounters evil spirits, but that the evil spirits are always around him, but he didn't have the ability to discover them before.

But now, he can discover all of this!
