Qin Yu changed his mind and followed these men in Tsing Yi to walk quickly in the direction of the deep mountains, along the way, these men in Tsing Yi had serious faces, and Boss Wang was also very frightened, these people all ignored one thing, that is: with their fast walking speed, as a child, Liu did not complain, but did not fall at all.

The group passed through several forests and mountainsides in the deep mountains, and finally, appeared in a mountain forest covered by fog, and one of the four men in green clothes led by him put his hands in his mouth and blew a very special whistle.

After the whistle fell, a soaring black eagle appeared above the man, hovering around the sky above the four men for a while, and then slammed in one direction.

"Keep up, if you get lost in this, you won't want to come out in this life. The man in the lead turned around and warned Qin Yu and his party, and took the lead into the mist.

After entering the mist, the four men in green clothes looked up at the black eagle above from time to time, and it was obvious that these four men didn't know how to get out of this misty forest, and they completely relied on the black eagle above to lead the way.

And Qin Yu, who was walking in the middle of the crowd, looked at the mist of the mountain, but his eyes flickered, with his current realm and eyesight, he could see at a glance that the fog in front of him was a formation.

However, this formation only obstructs people's vision and prevents some people from accidentally breaking into it, but it has no other function, of course, for the current Qin Yu, this formation is not difficult for him at all, even if there is no black eagle to lead the way, he can still walk on the ground and enter freely.

After walking in the misty forest for more than half an hour, the eyes suddenly opened up, and the two brothers and sisters Wang and Park Hye-hyun looked at the pieces of ancient buildings in front of them with incredible expressions.

Old Pu's face was surprised at first, but then he seemed to think of something, his face showed excitement, and he looked at the man in green clothes, "You are the Li family with ten rods?"

"I didn't expect that. Now people outside still know about the Ten Sticks Li family, which is really rare. The leading man in Tsing Yi glanced at Pu Lao with some surprise, and his words could be regarded as admitting his identity.

"The third. You take these people down first, and I'll go to the ancestral hall to see what's going on." After the leading man in Tsing Yi gave the order, the two men in Tsing Yi escorted Qin Yu and his party towards the ancient building, while the man in Tsing Yi who led walked towards the ancient building in the upper area.

"Alright, you stay in here for now. Your matter, wait for my eldest brother to report to the clan, and then decide how to punish you, my ten canes of Li family's ginseng even dare to dig it, it really ate the gall of the ambitious leopard. ”

The two men in Tsing Yi led Qin Yu and his party to a courtyard in the ancient building group, opened the door of the courtyard, and watched Qin Yu and his party walk into the courtyard, and slammed the door shut.

"Don't try to run away, you won't be able to get out of the forest, even if there are no guards. Since you have heard of my Ten Rods Li family, you should know the ability of my Ten Rods Li family. ”

The words of the man in Tsing Yi outside the door were obviously aimed at Park Lao, and when Park Lao heard the words of the man in Tsing Yi, his face suddenly darkened, and when the footsteps outside the door faded away, Park Hye-hyun immediately opened his mouth and asked Park Lao:

"Grandpa Park, what is the Ten Sticks Li Family, why have I never heard of it?"

Park Hye-hyun's doubts are also all the doubts of other people present, including Qin Yu. They all pricked up their ears slightly, ready to listen to Elder Pu's answer, the Ten Sticks Li family, he had never heard of it.

"It's normal that you haven't heard of it. Even when I was younger, I heard my grandfather and his generation talk about it a few times. Old Pu's expression fell into a memory, the Li family of the Ten Sticks has disappeared in the market of ginseng pickers, but as long as it is the older generation of ginseng pickers, they should have heard what the elders said.

"The origin of the Li family of the Ten Sticks may be traced back to the Ming Dynasty. At that time, the ginseng picking industry did not rise, but those villagers in the Changbai Mountains wandered up the mountain to dig some ginseng, and rarely took it out to sell, and this situation was not changed until the appearance of the Li family of the Ten Sticks. ”

Old Pu began to slowly tell the rumors he knew about the Ten Sticks Li family......

During the Ming Dynasty, ginseng was everywhere in the Changbai Mountains, but at that time, there were many birds and beasts in the mountains, and the villagers in the Changbai Mountains did not know the preciousness of ginseng, and even at that time, there were signs of waste that the villagers used ginseng to feed livestock.

And during that time, in a mountain village in the Changbai Mountains, there was a family surnamed Li, and the Li family and his wife had eight sons in the past ten years, but none of these eight sons lived for three years, and all of them died.

If he didn't give birth to a son and a half, how could he die in the future like the ancestors of the Li family, and it happened that there was a wandering Langzhong who came to this Changbai Mountains.

Speaking of You Fang Langzhong, in ancient times, generally You Fang Langzhong was a Taoist priest, and the Taoist cultivation of the way of alchemy and the cure of a minor illness is naturally not a problem.

And the old man of the Li family found this You Fang Langzhong, and asked You Fang Langzhong to take a look, this You Fang Langzhong does have some skills, and after looking at the body of the Li family and his wife, he directly found out the reason.

According to You Fanglang, the Li family couple, especially the old man of the Li family, is not very vigorous, which causes the remaining children to be smaller than other children, the Li family and his wife think about it, isn't it, other people's children are born so 5 to 8 pounds, to their own children, none of them are 5 pounds, and the lightest is only 3 pounds.

So, the Li family and his wife have more trust in You Fang Langzhong, and take out the good things at home to entertain, the mountain people, there are not many others, but the mountain goods are very sufficient, and they are stored for the winter on weekdays, but now they are all taken out to entertain You Fang Langzhong, and after You Fang Langzhong ate and drank in the Li family for half a month, he finally came up with a solution for the Li family and his wife.

According to You Fanglang, the most in this Changbai Mountain Range is ginseng, and ginseng is a great tonic by nature, but for the problems of the old man of the Li family, ordinary ginseng is useless, and if you want to solve it, you must find ginseng essence.

What is ginseng essence, that is, the ginseng that has more than 1,000 years, according to the words of the mountain people, ginseng will become essence for a thousand years, with its own spirituality, you can walk freely in the mountains, ordinary people can't even see it.

You Fanglang left this method and left. And although the old man of the Li family knew that it was difficult to find ginseng essence, he still decided to go into the mountains when he thought of what would happen after him.

The old man of the Li family has been in the mountain for more than three months, and many people in the village feel that the old man of the Li family should have been eaten by the fierce beasts in the mountain. I couldn't help but feel sorry for a while, and I felt that the old man of the Li family should not go to find ginseng essence, this ginseng essence is psychic, according to the mountain people, that is the son of the mountain god. Whoever dares to attack the idea of ginseng, the mountain god will arrange for the beast to eat the person.

However, after two months passed, the old man of the Li family came out of the mountain, which shocked the whole village, and asked the old man of the Li family how he spent the half year on the mountain and whether he had encountered anything.

However, the old man of the Li family remained silent and went straight home, not mentioning a word about the things in the mountains, although the people in the village were curious. But there is nothing to be done.

And just two months later, the wife of the old man of the Li family became pregnant again, and her belly was obviously much larger than that of ordinary pregnant women.

After ten months of pregnancy, the wife of the old man of the Li family gave birth, and even gave birth to two boys at a time, each weighing ten pounds.

The two children of the old man of the Li family grew up very smoothly this time, but when the two children were twelve years old, the old man of the Li family took the two children into the mountains to dig ginseng, and the harvest was not small every time.

However, this is not the envy of the villagers, after all, there were still a lot of ginseng in Changbai Mountain at that time. As long as you are willing to look carefully, you will always find it.

This was the case until the two children were sixteen years old, and the two boys went into the mountain alone, only to end up a few days later. When I came down from the mountain, I had a few more ginseng plants of more than 300 years old with six-grade leaves.

This time, the whole village was shaken, and the people in the whole village who were more than 300 years old had only dug up one or two of them in ten years. Extremely precious.

However, this is only the beginning, and then, the two sons of the old man of the Li family will go into the mountain every three months, and every time they come out, they will dig up several ginseng plants that are more than 100 years old, and for a while, the two sons of the old man of the Li family are famous.

And it just so happened that Goryeo at that time presented a thousand-year-old ginseng to the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, and the emperor of the Ming Dynasty was overjoyed and praised this ginseng, and ginseng began to become a precious medicinal material chased by the bureaucrats and nobles at that time.

If there is a demand, there is a market, those medicinal herb dealers saw this, and went to Changbai Mountain to buy ginseng, so Changbai Mountain began the first wave of digging ginseng climax, during that period of time, the villagers of the entire Changbai Mountain almost did not produce, that is, they went into the mountain to dig ginseng, because digging out a good ginseng is worth their family's hard work for a year.

The pursuit of the aristocracy, the lucrative nascent industry, the whole market is extremely chaotic, those medicinal herb dealers just take a few small money and send the ginseng pickers, and then transport the ginseng back, sell it to those bureaucrats and aristocrats at a high price, and make a lot of money.

At that time, among the most ginseng pickers, the most famous were the two brothers of the Li family, who dug ginseng for a long time, and those medicinal herb merchants wanted to buy it, but the Li family sold ginseng differently from other villagers, the Li family sold ginseng There is a rule, all the medicinal material merchants who want to buy ginseng, after seeing the ginseng, the old man of the Li family will get up from the chair, with a cane in his hand, and the crutch will fall down once every step, and this time, it means that it is one hundred taels, and when the second crutch falls, the price will be doubled, becoming two hundred taels, and then every time the crutch falls, it will double the original price。

And those medicinal herb merchants, if they feel that the price is about the same, they will say: "Old lady Li, you have a good body and bones, you don't need crutches." ”

If this price is satisfactory to Li Laohan, Li Laohan will put down the crutches, which means that the price between the two parties has been negotiated, but if Li Laohan continues to walk on crutches, it means that the price of the medicinal herb merchant is not satisfactory to Li Laohan.

Moreover, once he is not satisfied, the medicinal herb merchant will not be able to raise the price again, and the Li family will not sell this ginseng to him, so this is a huge test for the medicinal herb merchant, if it is too late, this crutch falls, the price will be doubled, if it is shouted early, and the bottom line of the Li family is not reached, then it can only be empty-handed.

Although these medicinal herb dealers were dissatisfied with the Li family's approach, they could only accept it, there was no way, who told Li Laohan's two sons to dig ginseng so well, and the ones they dug were all ginseng that was more than 100 years old.

After the Li family's trading method spread, they got the title of the Li family with ten rods, and began to gradually become the leader of the ginseng pickers, and the ginseng pickers in the entire Changbai Mountains also learned to be smart, and did not contact the medicinal herb dealers, but directly handed over the ginseng to the Li family, and the Li family sold it, although the money from the sale was to be drawn by the Li family, but it was also more cost-effective than selling it themselves.

Listening to Park Lao's words, Park Hye-hyun and his brother and sister smashed their lower lips, only people like them who came out of ginseng pickers know how terrifying the prestige of the Li family is that they can make the ginseng pickers in the entire Changbai Mountain Range hand over ginseng to each other.

"And many of the rules for us to pick ginseng, including the marked ginseng that others can't pick, are also set by the Li family. Pu Lao threw out another heavy bomb: "If anyone dares to violate the rules, he will be boycotted by the Li family and all the ginseng pickers, and no one will partner with him to go into the mountains to collect ginseng in the future, and if one person breaks into a single mountain, it will basically be a dead end." ”

Old Pu's words made Boss Wang's face look ugly, daring that they had met the maker of the rules, no wonder they would be arrested, and I don't know how the Li family would punish them at that time.

"Did anything happen to the Li family before?" While everyone was still immersed in what Elder Pu told about the Li family, Qin Yu suddenly asked.

"How do you know?" Old Park glanced at Qin Yu with some surprise.

"It's very simple, if nothing has happened to the Li family, they shouldn't have moved to the depths of the Changbai Mountain Range, and they have lost contact with the outside world for so many years. The corners of Qin Yu's mouth curled up slightly and replied.

"Well, you're right, the Li family has indeed had a change. Elder Pu nodded and acknowledged, and continued: "But I don't know what this change is, after all, it was a long time ago, and I also heard from the elders that when the Li family was at its most brilliant, everyone in the Li family suddenly disappeared overnight. ”

"When?"

"About 80 years ago. Park Lao replied.

"80 years ago?" Qin Yu's eyes narrowed slightly, and he recalled the big events that happened at that time, 80 years ago, it was when little Japan invaded China...... (To be continued.) )
