"Nope." Liang Xiulie couldn't help but didn't speak, because just now, he misunderstood that this was the dish that Princess Yin Xiaoyue made for himself, so he didn't eat it, and he was willing to eat the dish that Gu Liuxiao made for himself.

Elderberry
Witch plants with pros and cons
The flower language of elderberry is "warm-hearted".
The pagans of ancient Germany regarded elderberry as a sacred tree. In the minds of the ancients, elderberry was the habitat of the soul, so people had negative associations with witches and bad luck. In the Middle Ages, it was considered bad luck to burn the elderberry or bring it into the house, and legend has it that when the elderberry leaves were brought into the home, ghosts and villains followed. However, when properly treated, elderberry can have a protective effect.
Elderberry branches can be used to make wands and crutches, and hiding under elderberries can protect against lightning. In fact, high objects are prone to lightning strikes, so unless you think the taste of an electric suckling pig is beautiful, don't stay under a tree to take shelter from the rain.

It is customary for the Scots to collect elderberry leaves on the eve of May 1 and attach them to the door to keep them away.

In addition, it is said that women who want to have children or sexually impotent men can wear it to achieve their wishes. Sleeping with a mandala root for three nights during a full moon can increase your personal mana.
Superstitious mandala
The intricate roots of the mandala resemble a human form, and in the Middle Ages, science was not yet enlightened, so Westerners naturally speculated about the strange-looking mandala, adding a touch of horror. Legend has it that when the roots of the mandala were dug up, it would scream in fright, and those who heard the screams would either die or go crazy. Considering the above-mentioned taboos of life and death, when people need to use the mandala root and dig it, they send the dead dog to play. The method is to tie the hungry dog to the mandala tree, throw a piece of meat on the root of the mandala tree, and the greedy dog will eat the meat piece, and dig out the root by the way, and people will stay away, and then turn back to take the root after a while, so that there is no danger to life, but the puppy often dies from the root poison. The mandala root has an anesthetic and psychedelic effect.
