Chapter 104: Channeling the Red Mountain

Thanks to xiaojiu and 1985yyopjkg for their tips, as well as five evaluation votes for Liujin Feiming!

Clear Water Bay is also a peculiar place, where the river is divided into six tributaries by five high slopes, each of which is curved. Because the river is divided into six instants, the river water of each tributary is not very large, the river is not deep, and the bottom can be seen everywhere, so it is also called Qingshui Bay.

At the bend of Clear Water Bay, there are often a lot of crystals left, and the quality is still very high. Blue, yellow, and purple are the most popular.

"It's another beautiful place, brother, you're in a good place! No wonder you guys don't want to go out. If it were me, I would have chosen to stay with the Lord. Miao Huo said.

Ye Xiaoshuang rushed over to pick up crystals, Miao Huo and others were no exception, the crystals here are not only liked by women, but even by men. Chu Jiaqiang and the others didn't move, no matter how good things were, they didn't feel rare if they saw too much.

"Girl, don't pick up the ones there, go to the other side, the ones there are the best." Old man Li began to point out again.

Ye Xiaoshuang cheered, and immediately ran in the direction pointed by Old Man Li, like a cheerful bird.

"What? Old man Li is not used to being alone? Ready to have an adopted daughter? But people don't look simple, your abacus doesn't seem to be accurate enough! The fifth uncle smiled.

Old man Li shook his head: "No, I just think this girl is cute, and it's a little pitiful." ”

"A lovely and poor girl indeed." Teacher Liu also sighed. Along the way, except for Chu Jiaxiong, whose cranial nerves were a little knotted, everyone could see that this girl had some congenital problems.

After a while, everyone picked up a lot, and even Xu Hao temporarily forgot the purpose of his coming here, and Professor Wen didn't stop him, young man! The mentality should still be like a young man, not like these old men, who are not shocked, always with the dead face of Lord Yama.

"Alright! The crystal is placed here first, rest assured, no one will take it. When we turn around and pass by, we take it away again, with inconvenience. Old man Li said.

Everyone hit the road again, crossed Clear Water Bay, and began to walk up the mountain. It is much more difficult to walk on the mountain road, which is very small and can only be carried by two people at most. There are bursts of birdsong on the mountain, and the cicadas that seem to be forever noisy and make noise to the world.

Except for Old Man Li's and white ghost, and Miaohuo's lion, the others seemed to be very excited and ran happily.

Walking on the mountain road, everyone felt very cool. Above is a tall tree that shades the sky and the sun, blocking the direct sunlight, and the breeze blows in the distance, plus everyone climbs the mountain and sweats, and the sweat evaporates and takes away the heat, so there is this feeling.

"Oops! This fruit is so red and beautiful! Ye Xiaoshuang's eyes didn't stop, and he immediately saw a creeping plant not far away, climbing a big pine tree, on which hung bunches of red fruits, as beautiful as cherries, but the leaves were very scarce and crescent-shaped.

Seeing that this girl wanted to go over and pick, Old Man Li immediately stopped: "Don't! That kind of fruit is good and beautiful, but it can't be eaten, it's poisonous! ”

Ye Qijun was also startled, and hurriedly grabbed his sister.

"Poisonous! Such a beautiful fruit is actually poisonous? What a pity! Ye Xiaoshuang said very regretfully.

Old man Li smiled bitterly and explained: "This fruit is called Channeling Mountain Red, and it likes to climb pine trees, and it can take root in the interior of pine trees and absorb the nutrients of pine trees. Its fruit is very toxic, and if you eat one, if you don't treat it in time within two hours, you will only have a dead end. You want to! If it hadn't been poisonous, so many birds here would have eaten it up a long time ago. It's just that this pine tree is a little unlucky, and it won't live for five years. ”

Professor Wen frowned and pondered, and Xu Hao asked, "Teacher, why haven't I seen this plant?" ”

"Don't say you haven't seen it, it's the first time I've seen it, hurry up and shoot it, maybe it's a plant that has never been found before. I'll show Lao Shang when I go back, he is the best at plants, and if he doesn't know it, Bacheng is an unknown species. Professor Wen said.

"No, it won't!" Chu Jiaqiang was dumbfounded for a while, got! Unknown species are also involved.

"I've never seen it anyway, so it stands to reason that I shouldn't miss such a distinctive plant. The fruit is poisonous, parasitic pine trees, and the leaves are so strange. Professor Wen frowned.

Chu Jiaqiang smiled, this plant was actually called by the old Taoist priest first, and everyone didn't know how to call it before. According to the old Taoist priest, the red tree of the mountain is specially absorbed to grow, the fruit is extremely poisonous, but the leaves are a precious medicinal material, is a good medicine for the treatment of lung disease.

He remembered Grandma Wan, who needed this medicine for her asthma, so he walked to the sparkling red.

"Hey! You kid has a long life! You wouldn't know that this stuff is poisonous? This is what the old Taoist priest reminded everyone at the beginning. The fifth uncle said urgently.

Chu Jiaqiang turned his head and gave everyone a calm look: "Its fruit is poisonous, but its leaves are a good medicine, specializing in treating lung diseases, Grandma Wan's asthma is just right, pick a little back." ”

When everyone heard this, they were all amazed that there were such plants in the world. Professor Wen is even more certain that this should be a plant that has never been discovered before.

In fact, it is a very advanced plant, which can separate the toxic and beneficial components in the nutrients and store them on the fruits and leaves, which is not comparable to other plants.

Of course, at this time, we may also think of a plant: the red of the mountain. Yingshan red is a very common mountain flower in the south, also called azalea, camellia, etc., its flowers are edible, but the leaves are poisonous.

"There shouldn't be many of them, right?" Professor Wen asked.

"There is only this one mountain, and I have never seen other mountains. I roughly estimate that there should be more than a dozen of them! The fifth uncle said.

"As soon as it was born, it became an endangered creature, but it's a pity!" Xu Hao sighed.

At this time, Chu Jiaqiang had already come down from the tree, and he picked twenty or thirty leaves two fingers wide, which was very distinctive. Ye Xiaoshuang immediately asked to watch it, so she had to give her two pieces.

"Actually, it's not just this mountain, at least I've seen it with the old Taoist priest in other mountains, but it's really rare. A red leaf doesn't change, and when you pick the leaf, it will grow next to its original location. That's the magic of it, too. Chu Jiaqiang explained to everyone.

"How can it have so little fruit?" Ye Xiaoshuang was puzzled.

"The fruit is abundant, and no animal dares to eat it, but in the winter it almost all falls to the ground, and they cannot grow on the ground. Therefore, it is difficult for the fruit to be passed on to future generations, and it is mainly reproduced by canes, and as soon as their elongated canes come into contact with another pine tree, they will break off from the parent and form a new plant. And the original Channeling Mountain Red will die with the death of the parasitic pine tree, which can be said to be a way of life that will end up together. "I learned all this from the old Taoist priest.

"No wonder there are so many dead pine trees on this mountain." Miao Huo suddenly realized.

"It seems that the red mountain has a grudge against the pine tree." Liu Yang said with a smile.
