Ling Zikai secretly sneered: "Didn't you just put so many wild ginseng seedlings and don't dig them!"

The cuckoo seemed to know Ling Zikai's thoughts, sighed, and said: "Actually, I also want to dig up all the wild ginseng seedlings here, but the growth of wild ginseng is too slow, let's just say that the thirty-year-old ginseng seedlings are actually like a newborn child, who has not grown yet, and it is a pity to dig it." Only this kind of ginseng that is more than 100 years old can be regarded as a real tonic. In the past, when the children of our Brunk tribe were releasing the mountain, they were not allowed to dig ginseng seedlings that were less than 100 years old. It's just that more and more people released the mountain later, driven by interests, as long as they see wild ginseng seedlings, they are all dug up regardless of age, so that now how many wild ginseng seedlings can be seen in the entire Xing'an Mountains!"

Ling Zikai wanted to defend himself and said, you don't want to dig but people want to dig it, wouldn't it be cheap for nothing! But thinking that this is a tiger jumping stream, no one will come in, so he didn't say it.

"I remember when I was a child, my grandfather told me the most that we Brunk people are the sons of Dashan, and Dashan is our mother. So we can't be too greedy, because that will hurt our mother, and we will be punished by the ancestral gods, and our children and grandchildren will be driven out of the mountains and have no home. Look at the situation now, are we being punished."

Du Juan's words were full of infinite sadness, which made Ling Zikai's mood feel heavy all of a sudden, since he had become the guardian of the mountain and inherited the inheritance of the ancestral gods, it seemed that there were many things waiting for him to do!

The next thing is to dig up the ginseng seedlings, this is a very complicated and detailed work, as a layman, Ling Zikai can only watch the excitement on the side, and the whole process is completed by Du Juan himself.

According to her, in the past, the technical work of putting the mountain was easy to pass on, even if you are an apprentice, you may not be able to learn the real technique, and it is generally done by the head of the staff.

The cuckoo used a small pickaxe to remove the grass and trees around the ginseng seedlings, opened a "plate" more than one meter in size, and then took a skewer called "Kuaida".

The skewer is made from a straight section of the antlers, which is six inches long, hard and smooth, does not absorb water, does not mildew, and will not scratch the ginseng seedlings.

Carefully remove the soil around the mountain with a skewer, and then dig from the reeds under the straw until all the roots of the ginseng are exposed, and no tiny roots can be cut off. Each ginseng whisker is buried with the original soil at any time to prevent water loss from the dug fibrous roots.

After digging up the ginseng, the cuckoo scatters some of the ginseng seeds into the soil, digs the ginseng pit, fills it with the original soil, and inserts branches on it to lay the vegetation turf. In this way, it is conducive to the restoration of the landform, and in the future, new seedlings will arch out and grow ginseng for future generations.

These are all rules that have been passed down from the older generation and must be followed.

Looking at the wild ginseng that looked like a human body, the cuckoo was so tired and sweating profusely that he took off a large piece of fresh moss and laid it out, put some of the original soil, wrapped the ginseng with moss, breaded birch bark on the outside, and finally tied it with the bark as a rope. This is called "ginseng buns", and it is a method of preserving ginseng, and the ginseng preserved in this way will not rot for a long time.

"It's finally done, it's older than I originally estimated, it's estimated that it's more than 150 years old, and there should be more than 200 grams of dried ginseng after it is made!"

The cuckoo wiped the beads of sweat from his forehead with the back of his hand, and his whole face turned crimson, looking a little excited.

"So heavy, that should sell ----"

Without waiting for Ling Zikai to continue, Du Juan hurriedly shushed and told him that during the whole process of digging ginseng and descending the mountain, he was only allowed to comment on the shape and age of ginseng, and he was not allowed to estimate the value of the ginseng dug up, nor could he bargain. Bargaining will be discovered by the ancestral gods that you are not sincere, which will affect your future financial path.

After resting for a while, the cuckoo cut off a piece of bark from a nearby red pine tree, carved two horizontal bars on the left side and several bars on the right side, and then took out a piece of pine seeds and lit it, burning the pine oil around it, saying that this was a "cutting omen" to ensure that the omen could be seen clearly after decades. And it symbolizes that there are good signs for everything else in the future!

Seeing that the cuckoo had worked hard for a long time, Ling Zikai was a little reluctant to go, so he let her sit in place to rest, patted his chest and said that since he was lucky, he would leave the matter of finding wild ginseng to him, and promised to find a few more century-old ginsengs.

Cuckoo laughs and says he stops bragging. Although there are a lot of wild ginseng in Tiger Leaping Stream, it is still not easy to find ginseng that is more than 100 years old.

Ling Zikai originally wanted to tell Du Juan the secret of the ancestral god inheritance, but after thinking about it, he still held back, this matter was too mysterious after all, it was unbelievable, even if this inheritance was passed on by Du Juan to himself, after saying it, I was afraid that she would not be able to accept it for a while, so let's wait until the time is ripe in the future.

Taking advantage of the cuckoo's rest, Ling Zikai searched the forest with his ancestral god consciousness and locked five places.

After the cuckoo regained his strength, Ling Zikai went into the forest. In order not to make the cuckoo suspicious, he did not dare to go straight to the target, and pretended to turn around in the forest for a while, and then walked to a target, shouting to the cuckoo, saying that he had found another old ginseng.

After the cuckoo rushed over to take a look, it was determined that it was another century-old ginseng.

After watching the whole process of digging ginseng, Ling Zikai already knew some ways to dig ginseng, and no longer was a bystander, but started for the cuckoo, doing some simple work, if there was something wrong, the cuckoo would point it out.

When it was time to start digging up the third target, Ling Zikai let the cuckoo stand next to him and operate it independently. Only in a few critical processes did she get her to make a move.

The cuckoo joked, this hasn't done the apprenticeship yet, so you will steal the stunt, and you will lose a lot! Looking at Ling Zikai, his eyes were full of joy.

The next thing is simple, a total of six ginseng plants were found in this linden forest, of course, all of them are more than 100 years old, and two of them are still companion.

Du Juan even praised Ling Zikai's character outbreak, and he really found so many hundred-year-old ginseng, if the rumors go out, it will definitely cause a sensation in the entire Xing'an Mountains!

Du Juan's words reminded Ling Zikai, secretly thinking about what to do with these things after he went out.

When Ling Zikai was sure that there were no hundred-year-old ginseng in this forest, he proposed to look for it somewhere else.

The cuckoo did not object, it is rare to enter the tiger jumping stream, it is not bad to find a few more old ginseng plants, and the current forest farm is the most difficult time!

After getting out of this linden forest, Du Juan led Ling Zikai to find two more places where wild ginseng grew. These are the places where the cuckoo used to find wild ginseng when he came in.

Under the search of Ling Zikaizu's divine consciousness, he naturally gained something again. In line with the principle of "digging big and letting go of small", the two dug up seven more century-old ginseng, plus the original, a total of thirteen, which is definitely a huge harvest.

When Ling Zikai still wanted to continue searching, Du Juan smiled and said, "Do you remember what I said to you when you first came in?"

Ling Zikai was stunned for a moment, remembering that she seemed to have said something like not to be blinded by greed, and suddenly woke up in her heart, secretly saying that she was really carried away by joy. Everything has to be done in moderation, do you really have to dig up all the old ginseng in this before you give up!

Seeing that Ling Zikai came to his senses, Du Juan showed a relieved smile on his face, and said, "Let's go, I'll take you to another place to have a look, but it's not to find Lao Shan Shen! Also, when you get there, you can only look with your eyes, and you are not allowed to move anything1"

Ling Zikai asked curiously, "What kind of place is that?

The cuckoo said, "Speaking of which, it still has a lot to do with you! Because that's where the ancestral gods lived?"

"Ahh

Ling Zikai was a little dumbfounded, even if he did have the inheritance of the ancestral god, but in his heart he always thought that it was a legendary thing, but he didn't expect that there really was a former residence of the ancestral god here.

"What's wrong?" asked the cuckoo, puzzled.

"It's nothing, let's go!"

The two didn't go far, Ling Zikai suddenly stopped, and said to Du Juan: "Let's not go yet, I found a big guy, this time it must be a real big surprise!"

Du Juan knew that the big guy he was talking about must be referring to the old mountain ginseng, and just wanted to persuade him, but saw that Ling Zikai didn't wait for her to speak, and had already pulled out his legs and walked to a place, so he had to follow at the moment, and sighed secretly in his heart, it seems that he still hasn't succeeded in stopping the desire in his heart!

Just as he was about to leave, a blazing white light suddenly burst out in Ling Zikai's mind. Compared with the bits and pieces of starlight before, this white light was as dazzling as if the sun had suddenly appeared in the dark night.

This is definitely a thousand-year-old mountain ginseng!

Ling Zikai guessed in his heart as he walked. When he was only more than fifty meters away from the white light, a throbbing suddenly rose in his heart, as if some danger was approaching him, and he couldn't help but stop abruptly.

At this moment, a cuckoo's exclamation was heard: "Be careful! There is a 'big paw' in front." ”

There was no need for the cuckoo to remind him, at this time, Ling Zikai had already seen a behemoth standing more than fifty meters away, more than two meters long and more than one meter high. He was covered in black and yellow patterns, with a few white hairs on his chest, abdomen and the inside of his limbs, and the thick black and yellow hair resembled a large cotton robe, draped over his shoulders neatly. The limbs are stout, the tips of the claws are protruding from the toes, and the tail is thick and long, with black rings, and it is slightly curved and swaying like a steel whip. The body posture is streamlined, the muscles are strong and toned, and it is full of infinite power. A big white spot in the shape of "king" on the forehead, mighty and majestic, is a Siberian tiger known as the "king of beasts".
