The cold wind blows, everyone can't help but tremble, the temperature difference in the night in the desert is really huge, the day is still sweaty and hot, and the night is cold and biting, it is really day or night, the harsh climate and environment in the desert are very difficult, if you don't need to find the best cistanche, who wants to come in and suffer? After changing into large cotton clothes and continuing on their way, they walked for an hour, and the bright moon in the sky quietly hung up, bringing a bright light to the desert night, and the nearby scenery gradually became clearer, and they finally found a group of bedrock sheltered from the wind, and there were two unique wind-eroded mushrooms next to it.

When Long Yuxiang saw these strange scenes, he shouted with joy: "Oh, although our journey to the desert is a bit hard, but being able to see these strange landscapes is not in vain for our hard work." Brother Li, where are we camping?"

Everyone gathered together to light a fire to keep warm, smoke some food by the way, and have a simple dinner. Because everyone was busy with the road during the day, the physical exertion was too great, so after the meal, they chatted for a while and went to sleep. Fortunately, there were bedrock groups around to shield them from the attack of wind and sand, and everyone slept peacefully all night, and got up early the next day, simply cleaned up and continued on their way.

Li Yiming shook his head and smiled: "Brother Lie, this is the Saxon forest in the desert, and it is rumored that Cistanche likes to parasitize the roots of these golden Saxon and other plants. It is rumored that this place was originally a salt lake a long time ago, and there was no desert around, mainly because the people cut down excessively, and over-excavated the salt lake, resulting in an ecological imbalance and falling into the skyfire, burning the surrounding area for several months, and burning out of this desert, this is a very ancient legend, no one knows whether it is true or false. ”

Agni nodded and said, "Brother Li is right, so as not to have an accident, everyone doesn't have to act separately." In fact, the morphological characteristics of Cistanche are easy to identify, and you can find it by remembering the shape a little. Its corolla is cylindrical bell-shaped, the edges are often slightly curled, and the color is generally varied, mostly yellowish-white or lavender, often turning tan after drying, and its leaves are broadly ovate or triangular-ovate. The base is wrinkled pubescent, the anthers are oblong, and the base has a sharp pointed tip. The ovary is oval, with nectar glands at the base, the stigma stamens are slightly elongated, glabrous, and the stigma is nearly spherical. Capsule ovate-shaped, often with a columella at the end of the neck, with two lobes dehiscent. The seeds are oval or nearly ovate, outwardly shaped, shiny. According to the medical classics, Cistanche likes to be born in soft sandy land with mild salinization, and generally grows in sandy land or semi-fixed sand dunes, dry old riverbeds, lake basin lowlands, etc., and the climate of the suitable growth area is arid, the rainfall is small, the evaporation is large, the sunshine hours are long, and the temperature difference between day and night is large, so there will be the growth of Cistanche in this harsh environment. ”

"Elder Sun, don't be so troublesome, in fact, Cistanche is still a little different from the best Cistanche, Cistanche is an ordinary medicinal material with insufficient aura, as long as you dig the seedbed on the east or southeast side of the wild Lisuo, you will normally dig Cistanche, but this is not the medicinal material we are looking for; 。 At the same time, it can also sense our approach, so we also need to go through a simple camouflage, which is to wipe a faint resin on the body, disguise that we are a plant, and to restrain the breath in the body, and then slowly approach after discovering the best Cistanche, only in this way can we be cautious to catch the best Cistanche. ”

Agni Huo Wan'er smiled and said, "Elder Fan, do you mean to say that I am cunning in elixir! In fact, I have never caught the best cistanche before, mainly by reading the records of medical classics, and learning the methods taught by those predecessors, I don't know if it works?"

Agni Huo nodded and responded softly: "That's right, this is the corolla of the best cistanche, Elder Sun and I went to the periphery to excavate, Xiaolong and Elder Fan pay attention to the surrounding movements, to prevent dangerous poisonous snakes and the like from approaching, and Brother Li, you take out the spirit stone to tempt its attention, everyone try not to make a movement to scare the other party away, otherwise we won't be able to catch it if we dig in!"
