Chapter 82: Thunderstruck Wood



Zhao Letong didn't know how much shock last night's incident had caused to the capital. She didn't sleep much all night and was very excited. With this formation protecting her family, she could rest assured.

That Xuanming Sect has not been destroyed yet, and the evil spirits have escaped. Dangers are lurking everywhere.

The more Zhao Letong thought about it, the more he couldn't sleep. Passive defense wouldn't work. He had to take the initiative to attack. His cultivation was too weak and needed to be improved.

She lived a lonely life in her previous life and never enjoyed the warmth of a family. In this life, she has a loving father, brothers, nephews, and even sisters-in-law who are very kind and love her like their own daughter.

Anyone who dares to destroy her happiness will die.

The man in black, who was a hundred miles away, suddenly shuddered. Who was thinking about him?

Zhao Letong put away the peach wood beads he had made last night, leaving a few for his nephews to play with marbles, and also to carry on their bodies to ward off evil spirits.

He wanted to play with it too, so he lay on the ground and flicked it. The peach wood beads flew far away and rolled out of the door. Zhao Letong got up with his butt sticking out and went out to look for them, but he used a little too much force.

Unexpectedly, when I was picking it up, four big feet appeared in front of me, and there was someone.

When he looked up, he saw his father's unshaven face and a smiling young man. He stood up straight immediately, feeling embarrassed.

She is not a three-and-a-half-year-old girl who doesn't like to play. How can she let others see such a thing that damages her image?

She bowed with a serious face: "Father, are you looking for me? Who is this guest?"

Zhao Biao laughed heartily. "My daughter is so sensible. Is she shy? There's nothing wrong with girls playing marbles. You're still young, so play however you want. There's no need for so many rules. Our Zhao family doesn't care about that."

Zhao Letong: “…”

If you don't speak, no one will think you are dumb. Just pretend that you don't know or didn't see it, isn't that enough?

[Father, how can mother like you when you talk like that?]

[Girls also need to save face. When you bring someone to come next time, please inform me in advance. Not everyone can enter my yard.]

"I understand. It's Dad's fault. Dad will definitely correct it."

Song Lian stared at the peach wood beads in a daze, picked them up and observed them carefully, feeling the residual power of the heavenly thunder. This was a treasure.

"Give me back my beads."

Zhao Letong stretched out his little hand, which was white and had slender fingers. Because of the high consumption, he had never gained weight, so his hand looked a little thin, much like a chicken claw.

Song Lian came back to his senses, "How can I let a child play with this thing?"

"Is he tempted by the money and wants to trick us into taking it for himself? Dad, don't be fooled. This pearl is priceless. Let's see what he says."

Zhao Biao was also an old silver coin, and playing the pig to eat the tiger was already instinctive. He said foolishly: "It's not an important thing. If the child likes it, just take it and play with it. If Master Song likes it, I can give it to you. I will buy a toy for the child later."

Song Lian was a little tempted and felt greedy. As long as he nodded, the lightning-struck wood worth a thousand gold would be his.

Fortunately, due to his duty, his greed flashed away and he shook his head and said, “Song can’t have it, it’s too precious.

General Zhao may not know what this thing is. It is lightning-struck wood. Although it is not pure and the power of lightning is not strong enough, it is enough to deal with ordinary evil spirits.

It is best worn by the elderly and children. It not only wards off evil spirits but also strengthens the body. It is a rare and precious thing, worth a fortune. Don't sell this one for even a thousand taels of gold. Leave it to future generations."

Zhao Letong and Zhao Biao showed the same relieved smile. This Lord Song was not greedy when he saw the treasure. He was really capable.

"What's wrong?"

Song Lian was very curious about their smiles. Did they have flowers on their faces?

"Nothing, please sit inside, Master Song. If you hadn't told us, we wouldn't have known how powerful this bead is.

To be honest, sir, this is made from the peach tree I saw last night. Isn’t peach wood said to ward off evil spirits? I thought of giving it to the children to play with, but I didn’t expect it to be so precious.”

"Really? Lord Zhao is really lucky. How many did you make?"

Zhao Biao wanted to be modest. There were only a few, what if everyone wanted them?

Zhao Letong, [To put it bluntly, the more you hide it, the more you think we've got some treasure.]

Zhao Letong said first: "A big box, such a big tree, countless, adults want to play with it, I'll give it to you."

With an expression like a child sharing a toy, Song Lian shook his head: "I can't have it, it's too precious. General Zhao, keep it well and don't let anyone know about it. So much lightning-struck wood is too eye-catching.

Have they all been made into beads? What a waste! If they were made into peach wood swords, they would be incredible magical instruments."

"I've done it all. It's just for the kids to play with."

Zhao Biao had a regretful expression on his face, "What a waste of good things."

Song Lian finished his investigation and stood up to say goodbye: "I will continue to investigate the matter of the evil spirit. Since everything is fine in your house, I will also go back to report."

"Thank you for your hard work, Master Song."

Zhao Biao personally saw Song Lian off. When he came back, there was a large box in front of Zhao Letong, which was full of peach wood beads.

"so much?"

There's no such thing as a completely impenetrable wall. Our peach wood is a treasure, and it's sure to be coveted. Why not show it to them? Anyone who wants it can buy it with silver or trade it for medicinal herbs.

We don't guarantee any effects, so don't regret buying it. We're not a temple or a Taoist temple. If something we sell has been blessed, it must be effective.

Zhao Biao understood what she meant. Not wanting the Zhao family to be hated by others, he carried her around and said, "Daddy's good daughter, Daddy's baby, you are absolutely right. I will do as you say."

Zhao Letong was right to be worried. Somehow the news of the Zhao family obtaining a treasure spread, and people from all sides came to inquire about the news, hoping to get a peach wood bead that had been struck by lightning. The experts in the Imperial Observatory said that it could ward off evil spirits.
