Duckwood is a kind of wild tree growing in the north, which was abundant in ancient times, and now it has become a particularly rare tree species. Dragon tree can grow to more than ten or twenty meters high, but it grows very slowly like Phoebe bournei, and you can't see the annual rings when you cut the trunk. The texture of the tree is very tough, and the small branches are as hard to break as beef tendons.
According to ancient legend, this kind of dragon wood can test whether the food is toxic. In the past, many rich people used dragon wood to make wooden chopsticks at home. Just insert the chopsticks into the soup, and if the wood bubbles, it means that the food is toxic. There are also people who have been hit by common cold who use the sawdust of this wood to drink with water, which also has a good effect. In the story of Mu Guiying's skyshatter gate array, Mu Guiying also used it to disperse the poisonous gas to break the Tianmen array.
Of course, the function of dragon wood is not limited to these. It can eliminate pain, detoxify and clear away heat, and even has a good stabilizing effect on children's night cries. Many ancient people like to make dragon wood into beads or decorations and bring it with them to play the role of eliminating poison and evil spirits.
As the value of this kind of wood was discovered, ancient people began to cut down and apply a lot, which eventually led to the almost extinction of this kind of wood. It was not until 1986 that experts first discovered a dragon-falling tree called Niujin Tree in a remote town in Shandong, and then it was not until 20 16 that more than 20 dragon-falling trees were discovered in a deep forest in Henan.
Moreover, there is a beautiful legend about the dragon wood. It is said that there was a young man who went to collect herbs. Suddenly it rained heavily and the river surged. He found an old man walking across the river easily. He thought it was amazing. The old man said that his cane was made of dragon wood, and the dragon king in the river would bow his head when he saw it, so he could walk across the river easily. After that, the old man also gave the young man a crutch, so that the young people could make a variety of dragon trees for the benefit of the people.
