Chapter 415: The Loser
"Yes, don't dig it, but Lao Hu, if I find something good to participate in by myself, don't worry so much."
Seeing Hu Hongde's crying face, Ye Tian patted him on the shoulder with a smile and asked, "Old Hu, where do most of this ginseng grow?" Tell me about it. ”
Changbai Mountain is so big, it is impossible for Ye Tian to release his divine sense from time to time, right? He hadn't cultivated to the realm of refining the gods and returning to the void, and his divine consciousness would feel tired after being out of his body for a little longer.
It is because Ye Tian wants to have a target, and only explore the places where wild ginseng may survive, otherwise it is estimated that if the ginseng is not found, he will be exhausted to death.
"You're still trying to find ginseng?"
Hu Hongde couldn't help but scold, he also saw that the reason why Ye Tian was so skilled in digging ginseng was completely due to his strong body control ability, but it had nothing to do with anything else
However, since Ye Tian asked, Hu Hongde still had to answer, and after thinking for a while, he said: "Ginseng has very strict requirements for the growth environment, and likes to grow in the deep mountains with cold climate, deep erosion layer, direct sunlight, and abundant precipitation.
As for the specific place, this is difficult to say, you see・・・・・・ there may be ginseng on the slopes of this mountain, there may also be ginseng in the woods, that is, in the mountains, there are also people who have dug up a hundred years old ginseng.
The ancient Tao Hongjing once said in the "Commentary on the Materia Medica": Three trees and five leaves, back to the yang to the yin, want to come to me, linden trees to find each other, these few words can be summarized where ginseng grows! ”
Hu Hongde didn't go to school for a few years, and he still learned literacy from the old Chinese medicine grandfather.
But when it comes to ginseng and traditional Chinese medicine, looking at Changbai Mountain, if Hu Hongde claims to be second, no one will dare to boast of being first.
Ye Tian pointed to the section of the forest on the flat slope and asked, "Linden tree?" You're talking about those purple lindens, right? ”
"Yes, there is a good chance that ginseng will be found under the linden tree."
Hu Hongde nodded, picking ginseng relies on many years of experience in releasing mountains, but it is not something that can be understood by casually explaining a few words, otherwise this Changbai Mountain would have already found even a ginseng seed.
After digging out a ginseng with his own hands, Ye Tian's interest increased greatly, and he couldn't wait to find a thousand-year-old ginseng immediately, so he couldn't wait to urge: "Let's go to the six-pinned leaf you said, maybe I can find the legendary seven-pinned leaf!" ”
After hearing Ye Tian's words, the corners of Hu Hongde's mouth twitched, but he didn't say much, his Lao Tzu lived in Changbai Mountain, and he had never seen the ginseng of Qipinye.
Many ginseng pickers even believe that when ginseng grows to the seven-pint leaf, it will produce spirituality, that is, the ginseng doll of folklore, which can be auspicious and avoid evil, which ordinary people cannot see at all.
Seeing Ye Tian happily walking in front, looking at the ground from time to time, Hu Hongde followed with a smile, and the two climbed another peak along this hillside.
There are dozens of peaks above 2,500 meters above sea level in Changbai Mountain, and strictly speaking, Ye Tian and Hu Hongde are still on the edge, and it took more than an hour for them to reach the north of this mountain.
Although Ye Tian would release his divine sense when he saw the linden forest, his good luck seemed to have run out, and there was no longer a single ginseng on this mountain, as if there was really a spirit avoiding Ye Tian.
"Ye Tian, stop for a while, it's been five or six hours since we walked, let's get something to eat!"
Seeing that Ye Tian was still looking around and hurrying away, Hu Hongde couldn't hold on, he was vigorous, but he was still an old man in his sixties, and this food still had to be replenished.
"Grandma's mallets are all hidden? I didn't find any of them! ”…,
After hearing Hu Hongde's words, Ye Tian also stood still, he released his divine sense along the way, although his body was not tired, but his spirit felt a little tired.
Ye Tian put the backpack on the ground, remembered the delicious taste of the flying dragon soup, smacked his mouth, and said, "What to eat?" Lao Hu, how many flying dragons will you fight? ”
When he walked through the woods along the way, he saw several flying dragons, but Ye Tian's mind was on the mallet at the time, so he didn't care, and now when he heard Hu Hongde mention food, the roundworms in his stomach were suddenly hooked.
"Be quiet, I'll take a look at ......"
Hu Hongde stretched out a finger and shrugged at the edge of his mouth, they were now on a flat slope halfway up the mountain, and further down was a birch forest, which was also the favorite place for the flying dragon to hide.
The temperature in the mountains is several degrees lower than outside, and the heavy snow that fell a few days ago has not melted at all, Hu Hongde walked a few steps forward, his face showed joy, and he whispered: "Ye Tian, we have a good mouth, there is a nest of flying dragons in this forest!" ”
Ye Tian followed Hu Hongde's gaze, and sure enough, on the snow seven or eight meters in front of him, there was a line of small paw prints, which stretched all the way to the woods.
Hu Hongde took out a very well-made hand crossbow from his backpack and said: "The best flying dragon in winter is the best, Ye Tian, you pack some dry firewood and make a fire, I will come when I go!" ”
Ye Tian really hadn't seen Hu Hongde put this thing in his backpack before, so he asked with some curiosity: "Hand crossbow?" Don't shoot with a gun? ”
Hu Hongde said with a smile: It's not okay to shoot the flying dragon with a gun, half a bird is gone after a shot, and this thing is still good
"I'll take you with me." Ye Tian has eaten the flying dragon meat twice, but they are all plucked bald birds, and he has not seen a real hazel chicken.
"Cheng, be quiet, don't be surprised!" Hu Hongde nodded and led the way to the woods
Ye Tian sighed, his body suddenly became much lighter, and he only left a faint footprint on the snow, and Hu Hongde's old face turned red when he saw it, and it seemed that the sound he made was relatively loud.
The trunks of this birch forest are a little scattered, and there are still many low miscellaneous trees growing on the ground, Hu Hongde made a silent gesture to Ye Tian, and quietly walked towards the densest miscellaneous trees.
"Click...... Click! ”
Just when Hu Hongde was still seven or eight meters away from what he thought was the dragon's lair, a birch branch could not bear the weight of the snow, and it actually broke off at this moment.
At this sound, four birds suddenly fluttered out of the low bushes, fluttered their wings and flew out of the birch forest.
"Grandma's, there are actually four?!"
Hu Hongde reacted very quickly, the crossbow in his right hand was lifted up, he didn't even aim, he directly pulled the trigger, and an alloy arrow shot out with a "whoosh".
After Hu Hongde shot this arrow, his left hand flipped over, and an alloy arrow that was only the length of a finger was buckled on the crossbow again, and as soon as he raised his hand, he shot down another flying dragon that had not yet flown far.
However, after taking down the two birds, this is also the limit of Hu Hongde, and he no longer has time to deal with the two flying dragons that have flown out of the birch forest.
Just when Hu Hongde felt a little frustrated, the two hazelnut chickens, which had been flying more than ten meters above the ground, suddenly fluttered their wings and fell from the air.
Hu Hongde's eyesight is excellent, he can see that as the hazelnut's body falls, there are two snowflakes, looking back at Ye Tian who is clapping his hands, Hu Hongde's eyes show a trace of horror.
The speed of the hazel chicken's flight is extremely fast, especially after reaching a height of more than ten meters, unless it is shot with a gun, it is generally difficult to get them, but I didn't expect Ye Tianzhi's hand to rub two snow balls with his hand, and he knocked them down. …,
Now Hu Hongde believes that if he and Ye Tian live in this old forest at the same time, Ye Tian must be much more nourishing than him.
This made Hu Hongde, who claimed to be the best hunter in Changbai Mountain, very unhappy in his heart, and said: "Ye Tian, you boil the pot of water, and I will go to fight a stupid roe deer again!" ”
"Done! These wyverns are really not enough to eat! ”
Ye Tian nodded, the flying dragon meat is fragrant, but after removing the hair and internal organs, it is only two or three hundred grams at most, and it is absolutely impossible to be full if you can only taste it.
In winter, the forest was full of dead branches, Ye Tian picked up a bundle and put it on the gentle slope, and then used a shovel to clear a clearing of more than ten meters, and dug a pit in the middle of the clearing.
After igniting the dead branches, Ye Tian sandwiched the pot on top of the bonfire, took a few pieces of snow that had frozen into ice and threw them in the pot, and after more than ten minutes, the snow melted and slowly emitted heat.
"Life in this mountain is also quite interesting, much more fun than Maoshan Mountain!"
Ye Tian is still a young man in the end, whether it is the previous digging mallet or the current picnic, it is a very new thing for him, and this kind of experience has never been experienced before.
Taking advantage of the boiling water, Ye Tian plucked the four flying dragons and removed their internal organs, and after the water boiled, he directly threw the flying dragons inside.
Seeing that Hu Hongde hadn't come back yet, Ye Tian's eyes rolled, and he took out the wooden box from his backpack and took out the mallet inside.
"Hehe, Lao Hu, what a pity not to eat this good thing?"
With a "click", Ye Tian bit off half of the rhizome of the four-grade leaf, and the other half with the ginseng whiskers was thrown into the Feilong soup pot.
"Good stuff!"
This half of the ginseng entered the branch, and Ye Tian suddenly felt a slightly bitter taste fill his mouth, and at the same time, a hot breath went down his throat to the chest and abdomen.
"This medicinal property is a hundred times stronger than dried ginseng!"
Ye Tian didn't dare to slack off, he directly crossed his knees on the snow, and ran Zhou Tian, such a pure vitality, it would be a pity if it dissipated in the body.
For Ye Tian, the essence contained in the fifty-year-old mountain ginseng was still a little less, and after a week, the essence in the half of the mallet had been absorbed by him.
The fatigue of walking through the old forest for a day, as well as the divine consciousness that Ye Tian had lost before, were all replenished, and Ye Tianzhi felt refreshed after standing up.
"Ye Tian, did you eat that mallet? This...... Isn't this a loser? ”
Ye Tian just got up, and Hu Hongde, who rushed back with a roe deer on his shoulder, looked at the empty wooden box on the ground, and suddenly wanted to cry without tears.
