Lightning-struck wood, as the name suggests, is wood that has been struck by lightning.
However, not all wood struck by lightning is called lightning-struck wood.
This has a lot to do with the age and species of the tree.
First, the tree must be over a hundred years old. Second, it must be a yang tree, such as a peach tree or a pine or cypress.
If it is a yin-type tree, such as a locust tree or a willow, then it is impossible.
What is Yin Wood, and what is Yang Wood?
Lin Yu had read a Taoist classic that discussed the concepts of Yin blood and Yang essence.
Some old trees develop a red liquid inside their trunks; this is called yin blood.
What is Yang essence?
There is an inherent life force within it, and some fruit trees or pine cones are among them.
Each of these conditions, taken individually, seems relatively straightforward. However, when combined, they require a very special set of circumstances.
Putting everything else aside, the probability of being struck by lightning is even smaller than winning the lottery.
However, Lin Yu inherited some secret techniques from the old blind man, so finding lightning-struck wood was not a difficult task for him.
In just over an hour, he found a century-old pine tree in the jungle that had been struck by lightning.
"Fortunately, among the four divine trees, lightning-struck wood is the most common and easiest to find; otherwise, it would have been really difficult to find it in a short time!"
Lin Yu then used a dagger to cut and slash, and then used a secret method to disguise the lightning-struck wood as dragon-subduing wood. After doing all this, he hurriedly returned to the city.
In the office of the charity hospital.
"Lin Yu, General Feng Jiu has already told me that I have hidden the Dragon-Subduing Wood. Will the Japanese really come tonight?" Su Yingxue asked with a worried expression.
Lin Yu placed the lightning-struck wood on the table and said, "Tomorrow is the day they activate their main island formation. They will definitely come. Yingxue, don't be afraid. When they come, Feng Jiu and I will protect you in secret!"
"Also, when they try to steal the lightning-struck wood, don't stop them, just give it to them!"
Su Yingxue nodded and pursed her lips, saying, "I'm not worried about myself, I'm worried about you. The Japanese are fierce and cunning. Are the two of you really enough? Why don't we contact Director Ma and ask him to send more people over?"
Lin Yu and Feng Jiu exchanged a glance and couldn't help but smile.
If even they can't handle it, then sending more people probably won't help.
Feng Jiu smiled and comforted her, "Miss Su, don't worry, Mr. Lin's martial arts are unparalleled, he is invincible, no matter how many people come, it won't make a difference!"
Lin Yu glanced at the kid.
Do you think that by flattering me, I'll forgive you?
Dream on!
Whoosh!
Just then, a faint sound came from outside.
Lin Yu and Feng Jiu exchanged a glance and then disappeared into the shadows.
Su Yingxue's heart pounded, but remembering Lin Yu's instructions, she immediately calmed down, sat back in her chair, picked up her notebook, and pretended to work.
Whoosh!
A short while later, several dark figures darted in from outside the door.
Su Yingxue feigned fear: "Who are you people?"
The leader, a man in black, brandished a dagger and said in broken Chinese, "We're here to take the Dragon-Subduing Wood. If you know what's good for you, hand it over obediently, or don't blame us for being impolite!"
"The Dragon-Subduing Wood is here! You can take it if you want, just don't hurt me!" Su Yingxue said tremblingly, pointing to the black wooden stick on the table.
The man in black's eyes lit up, and he quickly walked over and picked up the wooden stick. He examined it closely.
He was right there when the Grand Princess was bidding that day, so he naturally saw the Dragon-Subduing Wood with his own eyes. It was exactly the same as he remembered. It seemed that he was right!
He immediately tucked the Dragon-Subduing Wood into his robes, then looked at Su Yingxue with a fierce glint in his eyes, a hint of murderous intent in them.
However, after a moment's hesitation, he slowly suppressed his killing intent.
The only task assigned by the Queen Dowager was to obtain the Dragon-Subduing Wood. If it resulted in a murder, it would only complicate matters further. If it alerted the police, it would also cause trouble for the Queen Dowager!
Thinking of this, he waved his hand and led his men out.
Seeing them leave, Su Yingxue immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
At this moment, Lin Yu and Feng Jiu slowly emerged from the shadows.
Lin Yu's lips curled into a cold smile as he said to Feng Jiu, "Once they get the lightning-struck wood, they'll definitely send it back to Japan as quickly as possible. You'll follow them for a while, and once the lightning-struck wood is gone, you can send someone to capture them!"
"If you want to steal my things, you'll have to pay a price." Lin Yu narrowed his eyes and grinned sinisterly.
...
Meanwhile, after obtaining the Dragon-Subduing Wood, the man in black rushed to the airport.
Arriving at a private helipad, a private plane was already waiting there. He immediately loaded the lightning-struck wood onto the plane.
After watching the plane leave, the man in black breathed a sigh of relief and dialed Fukuda Misa's number.
"Your Highness, the Dragon-Subduing Wood has been obtained, and I have already sent it on the plane!"
Fukuda Misa exclaimed excitedly, "Great! Yamamoto, you did a fantastic job! You've done a great service to the Fukuda family this time! Haven't you always wanted the High Martial Arts title? When I get back, I'll definitely ask for your commendation!"
Yamamoto trembled with excitement.
"High-level martial arts" refers to a high-ranking martial artist.
In the military, that's the highest honor – a two-star general!
"Thank you, Omiya! My Yamamoto family has served the Fukuda family for generations. To be loyal to Omiya is the honor of my life!"
"Okay, you'd better come back quickly! Don't expose yourself!"
"yes!"
Yamamoto hung up the phone and started to walk back.
Just then, Wuwei!
More than a dozen law enforcement vehicles sped toward the tarmac.
Before long, they surrounded Yamamoto.
