Is this tree really going to turn into a dragon?

Is this tree really going to turn into a dragon? 🔥 There is an ancient pine tree in the courtyard of the Beiganquan Shengmu Temple, located in front of the Xian Hall. The pine tree has a peculiar growth pattern, with a dragon head shape, a flat trunk, and branches extending in all directions, twisting and turning like a giant dragon. Therefore, people call it the Dragon Pine, but unfortunately, it has been destroyed! The following is an oral account from the temple keeper: The age of this ancient temple is so long that it is unknown. The pine tree in the courtyard is also an ancient pine, a dragon pine. It has been in the temple for a long time and showed signs of turning into a dragon, so it was struck by lightning and tilted. Unexpectedly, the ancient pine did not die after tilting. Not only did it look more like a dragon, but more strangely, an elm tree grew at the top, and the elm and pine grew together. A few years ago, it was struck by lightning again, and the elm and pine trees stopped growing. It should not be able to turn into a dragon anymore. If what the temple keeper said is true, it is hard to say that it is still a tree. 📍 Address: Beiganquan Village, Pingshun County, Changzhi City, Shanxi Province 🎫 Ticket: Free, no reservation required ⏰ Opening hours: Tuesday to Sunday, 8:30–12:00, 14:30–17:30 🚶‍♀️ Tour time: 30 minutes If the door is closed, there is a phone number of the cultural relics protection officer on the cultural relics protection sign at the entrance, and the officer will come to open the door soon.
