Super Wizard

Chapter 40: Mother tree

The hatchet fell and the ebony veneer fell away, but the knife fell into the wood less than an inch deep.

Ebony, due to the deposition of underwater and mud, can be preserved without decay. It is seriously carbonized. It is generally very difficult to cut it with a knife, not to mention that this piece of ebony has a diameter of one foot.

But for Fang Ming, it was enough, because he didn't originally want to cut this ebony.

After using a hatchet to clean out the sawdust at the edge of the knife, and then opened an opening with a length of about ten centimeters, Fang Ming squatted down to start looking at the edge of the knife.

"Fang Ming?"

Hua Borong on the side watched Fang Ming staring at the knife edge for more than a minute and had not removed his gaze, could not help but shouted.

"Uncle Hua, can you get me a plate of clean water?" Fang Ming looked up at Hua Borong.

"can."

Hua Borong nodded, and then his old eyes glared at Hua Mingming who was standing beside him. Hua Mingming rolled his eyes, but he knew his old man's temper, so he had to find a basin and walked toward the bathroom.

"give."

Taking over the washbasin from Hua Mingming's reluctant face, Fang Ming didn't care about Hua Mingming's attitude. He doesn't have time to manage this now, because his attention is all drawn by the ebony piece about to be unveiled. Attracted by the mysterious veil.

Pour the water slowly into this knife-edge, and the scene that shocked Hua Borong and Hua Mingming appeared. There was no drop of waste water on the ground. It was almost absorbed by the ebony in a moment.

Everyone knows that wood has the function of absorbing water, but the speed of water absorption by wood is not fast, or even relatively slow, so this scene is clearly contrary to common sense.

"Sure enough, as I guessed."

However, after seeing this scene, Fang Ming had a flash in his eyes. This scene proved that his original judgment was correct. This is indeed Wannian Ebony, and it is also an extremely rare kind of Wannian Ebony.

"Fang Ming, what have you guessed, can this ebony really be a million-year-old ebony? But even a thousand-year-old ebony shouldn't be so absorbing water?"

Wannian Ebony is not unearthed, so Hua Borong still knows a little bit. Wannian Ebony is a little older, but he has never seen the water absorption of Wannian Ebony from the report.

"Uncle Hua, ordinary ten-year-old ebony is naturally impossible, even if it is the leader of ebony, Phoebe chinensis, but there is also a magical tree in this nature, which is known as the son-mother tree." Fang Ming looked at Hua Borong and explained.

The mother tree is not what his master told him, but from the inheritance of the wizard he got. In the inheritance of the wizard, there is a tree called the tree list. This is where a hundred kinds of magical plants and trees are recorded. One of them.

"Mother-child tree?"

Hua Borong shook his head with question marks. He was so alive that he had never heard of such a tree.

Fang Ming did not continue to explain, but began to use a hatchet to start cutting down along the edge of the knife, little by little, it took almost an hour, and finally gave the outermost 10 centimeters of this ebony skin Remove all.

The outer layer of the dark tree was removed. When the true content inside was revealed, Hua Borong and Hua Mingming and his son almost froze, because the tree inside was completely different from the outside. The outside was dark, but the inside was actually milky white wood. .

Many trees are usually white after peeling off the bark because of the protection of the bark. However, the white color is completely different from the white in front of it. This is a pure milky white.

If you only take a partial photo of this tree to show it to others, I am afraid that no one will believe that this is a piece of wood, and more people will even think that this is a kind of white jade photo.

Fang Ming put his finger on it and gently crossed it. There were surprises in his eyes. This mother tree was somewhat unexpected.

"There are trees in the north of the sea, the roots are in the water, one mother is outside, and the other is inside.

Fang Ming chanted the description of the son-mother tree in his mouth. Fortunately, Hua Borong had some knowledge, but he didn't understand it as much as he listened to the book.

"Fang Ming, you mean that there is a tree that grows on the sea. Because it is surrounded by sea water, the way this tree spreads tree species is different from that of ordinary trees. The seeds of this tree grow in the body of the tree. That’s right."

Hua Borong looked at Fang Ming, and Fang Ming nodded, because Hua Borong understood nothing wrong.

"Uncle Hua, you understand it right. This is the description of the mother-mother tree. According to legend, the mother-mother tree lives in the ocean, so the seeds are nowhere to be scattered. They can only grow inside, and the nutrients that the new tree can absorb also come from Mother tree, when one day the new tree absorbs all the nutrients of the old tree and then the old tree withers, then the old bark will fall off and be replaced by the new tree completely."

Fang Ming said slowly, but Hua Mingming laughed after hearing, "Fang Ming, where did you hear the rumors, a tree's saplings grow in the body of the old tree, then this tree should follow what you say It’s not a hollow tree, and the sea is so deep, how can a tree grow without photosynthesis, don’t tell me this tree is hundreds of kilometers high."

"You haven't seen it, it doesn't mean you don't have it. Even if you don't have it now, you don't have it before. After all, this tree of mother and daughter has a history of tens of thousands of years."

Fang Ming shook his head and smiled. For young people like Hua Mingming, they didn't believe this kind of rumor, because it was different from what they came into contact with and learned about the world.

"I haven't heard of the mother tree, but there are some special animals and plants in this nature, such as hermaphrodite flowers and plants. If you want to say this, the mother tree may also exist." Hua Borong interjected.

"Yeah, there are many things in the world. Many special animals and plants are already extinct, but some are still preserved, and the mother-mother tree is just one of them."

Hua Mingming saw that his old man and Fang Ming sang one after the other and could only lip whisper and did not continue to argue about this topic, because he knew that as long as the old man expressed his attitude, he would not argue anymore.

"Fang Ming, your luck is indeed good. The pair of evil spirits at the door let you make a profit. Now there is another tens of thousands of years of ebony here. The cost of this shop has come back. It is estimated that Lao Song will vomit blood if he knows the truth."

Hua Ming clearly envyed Fang Ming's luck, which is as magical as the leaking stories circulated in the Antique City. The difference is that Hua Mingming knows that the leaky stories contained in the leaky stories are so greasy. Many of them are false stories about businesses walking out. Some are even directly made by those businesses.

The reason is simple. Only in this way can people who want to take advantage of it come here to buy things, and feel that they are the next lucky ones to pick up big leaks.

It's just that these people don't want to buy these stores if they buy them.

It is precisely because of this that when he saw Fang Ming being just the next store, it was equivalent to picking up millions of dollars in income.

"No matter what the origin of this mother tree is, it must be impossible for thousands of years of ebony. With this appearance, if it is sold, I estimate that there is no problem with selling more than 1 million."

Hua Borong also gave an estimate. Ten thousand years of ebony is indeed very valuable, but it is also calculated by volume. In the end, this ebony is not very large. It can be worth millions because of the special color and appearance. Added value.

"one million?"

Fang Ming smiled slightly. If it was only one million, he wouldn't surprise him so much. Uncle Hua did it because he didn't know what the son-mother tree meant.

"Uncle Hua, I planned to sell this tree, but not in this form of wood. Isn't this a Wenwan shop? I will carve it and sell it later."

Fang Ming smiled and replied, as to what the selling price would be at that time, he did not tell Hua Borong because he was afraid to scare the other party.
