The orchids are also relatively concentrated at the foot of the mountain, so Zhang Fan did not follow the climb of the Red Mountain, and the ones who really went up were Kong Lao, his two disciples, and Shen Nianqiu.

Even Chen Baoli, who thought they could follow along, was not interested in keeping up, and walked the mountain road for more than two hours, and they didn't have much physical strength to climb the mountain.

Also, Zhang Fan revealed to them that going up the mountain at this time is actually nothing fun in Hongshan. Only in spring, the red mountains are all over the mountains, which is the most spectacular moment.

So, they stayed at the foot of the mountain and accompanied Zhang Fan to dig orchids.

Kong Lao didn't stop it, most of the orchids were not rare creatures, and as for the price, he didn't bother to pay attention to it.

Of course, this is not to say that there are no rare and endangered species of orchids. For example, the beakless orchid is one of the most primitive and ancient orchids, and it is a monospecific plant unique to China, which is of great significance for the study of the phylogeny and paleoflora of orchids. The species is on the verge of extinction and is in urgent need of protection.

However, the beakless orchid prefers cool, moist and humus-rich habitats. They are generally found in the north, and there are no cases found in the south for the time being.

Another example is the relict plant Distamen orchid, known as the living fossil of the orchid family, which is almost the rarest orchid species at present, which is very harsh on the growth environment and is produced in the east and north.

In the process of growth and development, the orchid needs direct sunlight in the forest, and the requirements for temperature and humidity are very strict, and it must grow and develop under suitable conditions. Once this habitat condition is changed or destroyed, the number of plants growing will gradually decrease or even disappear.

Zhang Fan has long had plans to engage in flowers and trees, and it is impossible to let go of precious orchid varieties.

"Can you survive if you transplant it back like this?" Chen Baoli asked Zhang Fan curiously.

When transplanting, he needs to pay attention to protecting the extremely sharp and transparent "crystal head", which is the growth point of the orchid, which is very brittle and tender, and will break if you are not careful.

However, Zhang Fan didn't have any worries about this at all, when digging orchids, he was still lavish, which seemed very unprofessional, making people wonder if those dug up orchids could survive.

You know, the orchid itself is very delicate and has to be taken care of, where can someone be as careless as Zhang Fan?

Zhang Fan nodded affirmatively: "It's okay, I know it in my heart." ”

Wang Feihong and the others walked around the neighborhood, but they were not interested in accompanying Zhang Fan to dig orchids.

"Go that way, turn a corner, I remember that the scenery should be good, there is a cave not far away, it seems to have crystals, if you are interested, you can go and see it." Zhang Fan said to them.

When they were young, they often went to knock on a piece and go home to play.

"Crystal, what color?" Chen Baoli said in surprise to Wang Feihong's wife.

Most of the crystals are worthless, and the reserves of crystals are too large, unless they are amethysts in the crystal family. However, it is still a good memory to be able to get a piece of crystal back as a souvenir.

"It's colorless, by the way, don't go too deep, it's dark inside. Zhang Fan knew that the cave was still quite big, and he hadn't tried to drill into the deepest part of it anyway.

Wang Feihong and the others rushed to the direction of Zhang Fan's guidance, and suddenly they were not so tired.

Zhang Fan continued to wander at the foot of the mountain, where he is now located is the famous flower mountain of this mountain range, and the flowers are not just rhododendrons.

Chen Baoli and the others didn't pay much attention to the surrounding scenery, and a few people went straight to the cave in Zhang Fan's mouth.

The location of the cave was conspicuous, and it was not difficult to find, and they soon came to the entrance of the cave, and when they looked inside, it was so dark that they could not see anything.

The cave can accommodate two people walking side by side, and two big men turn on the flashlight function of their mobile phones and walk in front.

The light of the mobile phone flashlight shone inside, and a very beautiful scene appeared in front of everyone's eyes. I saw that the light was refracted by the crystal, and the whole crystal cave was full of light, like a fairyland, which was intoxicating.

"It's so beautiful, it's all crystals. The two women were completely shocked.

Women have always loved these shiny things, and in the face of this cave with crystal walls, they immediately can't take their eyes off it.

Not to mention women, even Wang Feihong was deeply shocked.

To be honest, they have been to a lot of caves, and those strange-shaped stone stalactites really make people marvel at the creation of nature.

However, in comparison, the magnificence of this crystal cave is even more breathtaking. I don't know how deep the cave is, but the dense crystals really don't look like the scenery of the world.

How such a spectacular crystal cave was formed, I'm afraid many geologists are very puzzled to see it, right?

"They can be opened up as a tourist area! Such a beautiful crystal cave should attract a lot of people. Wang Feihong expressed his opinion.

They were shocked by the scenery in front of them, completely forgot Zhang Fan's instructions, and walked all the way inside.

This crystal cave is a bit similar to a karst cave, with many forks and a labyrinth.

I don't know when Wang Feihong reacted, and his heart suddenly burst: "Oops, I forgot the way in, how can I get out?"

As soon as these words came out, Chen Baoli and the others were also shocked, and then they remembered what Zhang Fan had told them before leaving, and asked them not to go deeper. Now, how is it good? They have forgotten how many forks in the road they have taken.

"Don't go inside, there is no signal on the mobile phone, there is no way to contact Zhang Fan. I'll shout and see if I can get it out, so that Zhang Fan can hear it, come in and take us out. By the way, turn off your phone and save some power. Chen Baoli reacted immediately.

Everyone knew the seriousness of the matter, so they immediately stopped and obeyed Chen Baoli's command.

They began to shout outside, but the echoes were unbearable for them at first.

This emotion was soon transmitted to the children, and the two little ones cried one after another. The two women hurriedly picked up their children to comfort them and give them courage.

Zhang Fan, who was outside, didn't pay much attention, and in just two hours, he asked him to dig up seven Su Xin Orchids. Every time he dug up a plant, he sprinkled some of it with the spiritual water from the pure bottle space.

Suddenly, he spotted a column of peculiar orchids on a section of a tree that was about to rot.

"Ghost Orchid?" Zhang Fan was taken aback, he didn't expect to find Ghost Orchid here.

Ghost orchids can produce sucking roots, coral-like. The aerial parts are 5-25 cm high, leafless, and photosynthesize with roots. The flowers are gorgeous and have a peculiar shape, resembling a frog in a jumping state.

Their roots blend well with the bark, and their large, eye-catching white flowers are like ghosts floating in the air, hence the name "ghost orchid". Ghost orchids rarely bloom, and if you see them, you will definitely be attracted by its strange appearance. Most orchids give people a fresh and elegant feeling, but the single ghost orchid is an outlier among orchids.

As far as Zhang Fan knows, the ghost orchid is an epiphytic plant, although it is also entangled with other plants, it is different from parasitic plants. It does not absorb nutrients from the host plant, but uses its roots for photosynthesis and water absorption.

Zhang Fan immediately transferred a large section of the trees to the net bottle space, ready to put them in to reproduce.

Of course, he also knew that it was illegal to collect wild ghost orchids. Because it is very difficult to cultivate ghost orchids artificially, and wild ghost orchids are very rare, this plant is an endangered species in the world.
