The production of Taoist exorcism has always paid attention to the selection of materials, and generally praised all kinds of lightning wood. Taoist books emphasize the use of wood for printing, and think that Dongtaozhi is the top grade, followed by lightning jujube and ordinary jujube.
In other words, wild mahogany is actually more suitable for making utensils than lightning jujube. Because peach wood is the essence of five trees, the body of pure yang, and it is powerful. So before the jujube tree was struck by lightning, Daoshu listed her. It's just that on the whole, we hear more about lightning strikes on jujube trees than peach trees.
Exorcism legend:
The role of evil spirits should be natural lightning, not artificial lightning. The part struck by lightning is called lightning strike wood. If it is an artificial lightning strike, it is not a lightning strike, and the part struck by lightning cannot be classified as a lightning strike.
Lightning strikes wood to ward off evil spirits mainly by the effect of lightning, but if the trees are knocked down by artificial lightning, it means that the cut trees can't store the energy in lightning, and the effect of ward off evil spirits can only depend on the material of the trees themselves, which has nothing to do with lightning strikes.
In the northeast folk, the tree that has been struck by lightning is called lightning wood. The common people generally think that lightning wood is split by lightning from the sky, and ghosts hate it, which is the most powerful way to ward off evil spirits. Because the message that Lei Gong Dian Mu banned the spiritual body was left on Lei Mu, which was very shocking to the spiritual body and could be used as the legal object of the town house.
Er Shen, a folk shaman, is also afraid of being struck by lightning, because most of the shaman's "attachments" are ghosts, foxes and pythons. If Er Shen is accompanied by lightning, their "ghosts and gods" will be scared far away, and no matter how invited by the shaman, these "ghosts and gods" will not be possessed.
Of course, lightning strike has a deterrent effect on these really possessed big immortals, and there are many fake big immortals. They are not afraid of anything. Ordinary people even think that trees knocked down by lightning have the function of exorcism.
Because thunder has driven away the ghosts and demons from this tree, other furtive people are afraid to go near it again. Therefore, in the northeast area, people often tie a piece of lightning wood with a rope and wear it on children's wrists or necks, thinking that children can't "catch things" and can support themselves.
