Chapter 260: Forest Vegetation (2)
In addition to this complex strange and rare plant in this forest, there is also a plant called the Crystal Orchid, the Flower of Death.
There is a legend about the crystal orchid: "The unique habits and magical appearance of the crystal orchid make it often appear as a ghost flower in traditional Chinese martial arts and legends."
It is either deified as a fairy grass that can bring the dead back to life, or it is regarded as an evil creature with supernatural powers that can invisibly kill people, and even its fragrance is described as creepy, perhaps this is where its name "ghost grass" and "dream orchid" comes from. At the same time, some people call it the flower of the underworld, and call it a saprophytic flower.
In fact, the crystal orchid has no magic power to return to the sky, let alone hurt people and be fatal, but a folk medicine that can cure body weakness and long-term cough with a light grass taste.
In nature, the crystal orchid is not a rare "ghost", as long as you know its habits, choose the right place and timing, everyone can see its beauty. The best time to see the crystal orchid is generally around mid-April in the south, and it can be slightly later in the north, and the crystal orchid seen during this period is the most perfect.
Prematurely, the crystal orchid has not yet germinated; Later, due to the gradual aging, brown spots will appear on the crystal orchid, and its clear and dream-like beauty will not be appreciated. ”
The reason why the crystal orchid is called the ghost grass is because: due to the growth characteristics of the crystal orchid itself, it does not contain chlorophyll in the body, and naturally it cannot complete photosynthesis. Therefore, crystal orchid does not draw energy from sunlight, but parasitizes on some saprophytic fungi through parasitism, and survives by absorbing the nutrients of dead leaves and rotting leaves.
It is precisely because it can produce white flowers in a dark environment, which also gives it the nickname of "ghost grass".
"Ghost Grass" crystal orchid often has a fantasy and magical color, and it is a fairy grass that can bring people back to life. But in real life, people call it the "flower of death" because of its appearance and habits, and think that the crystal orchid is poisonous. In fact, the crystal orchid is not as magical and mysterious as the legend, has no effect of resurrecting the dead, and is not a poisonous plant that can hurt people's lives if eaten. It is reported that crystal orchid is a folk medicine that can cure body weakness and cough for a long time, and its nature is peaceful and slightly salty.
Zhan Xiaogui suddenly found that in addition to the messy fungus plants and the crystal orchid, the first of the four heavenly flowers, there are
The mandala flower is constantly called one of the four flowers of heaven, the second reason is that the mandala flower is a poisonous flower, it grows colorful and the whole grass is poisonous, the toxicity of the seeds is more black and white and often strong, if you don't eat it by mistake, the fastest 20 minutes will show poisoning symptoms, and the poisoning will be severe will probably show lethargy, cramps, and even fainting and death after 24 hours, so that the toxicity of the mandala is still not to be underestimated.
In fact, the mandala flower has a terrifying magic in the hearts of many people, and the secondary is still related to its flower language, the mandala flower has different patterns, and the flower language of each different color of the mandala flower is different. The flower language of the purple mandala flower is terrifying, the flower language of the blue mandala is deceitful and deceitful love, and the flower language of the dark mandala flower is unpredictable secret, death and endless love and revenge, and the flower language gives people a very terrifying feeling.
The mandala flower is known as the flower of the four flowers of heaven that has the ability to perceive the netherworld, and the mandala can awaken transcendentally and conjure up immeasurable strength, and it is a kind of flower that makes the people fearful.
The poppy is the flower of the poppy, and the master should know that the poppy is the material for making the Fushou paste, and the person who smokes the Fushou paste will hallucinate, and will be immersed in this kind of hallucination, and will attach to the Fushou paste, and then step by step towards the abyss, and the poppy is the flower of this kind of Fushou paste, and the poppy is very colorful, and the colorful things are fundamentally poisonous, so the poppy is also regarded as a sinister flower.
The poppy is also one of the four flowers of heaven that many people consider to be, because in legend, the poppy has a seductive force that can seduce us to extinguish. This kind of seduction of beauty is very strong, strong enough that many people are willing to endure this kind of seduction and go to extinguish, which means a self-extinguishing search for beauty.
This shore flower, this flower is a manzhu sawa, and the white flower is also known as this shore flower. It is generally thought that it is the flower of the development on the shores of the Santu River. The fragrance of flowers is said to have magical powers, evoking the image of the deceased during their lifetime. Legend has it that the flower who volunteered to go to heaven was sent back by the demons, but she still wandered on the road of the ghost realm, and the demons couldn't bear it, so they approved her to open on this road, giving a guide and comfort to the souls who separated the human world.
There are a large number of these flowers blooming on the ghost road, which looks like a carpet of blood from a distance, and is known as the road of fire because it is red like fire, and it is also the unique scenery and color on this long ghost road. When the soul passes through the Lethe River, it forgets all the things that have been left on this shore, and the deceased will follow the guidance of this flower to the Netherworld.
In the approach, the three days before and after the spring equinox are called the spring shore, and the three days before and after the autumn equinox are called the autumn shore. It is the day of going to the grave. This shore flower blooms in the autumn shore era, it is very timely, so it is called this shore flower. Most of the places where it developed were on the field avenues, riverside trails and cemeteries, and were also called dead man's flowers. As soon as autumn arrives, it blooms with bewitching and elegant flowers that are close to red, and the whole shore flower looks thrilling red, like fire, like blood, like a flower. This shore flower, bloom for a thousand years, fall for a thousand years, flowers and leaves will never meet. Love is not cause and effect, fate must survive.
"It seems that all these plants, which are also known as the flowers of hell, are available! Flowers are just as bad as people! You look at this poisonous flower, it looks very quiet and beautiful on the surface, but who would have thought that they contain highly poisonous ...... in their bodies," Zhan Xiaogui's son sighed like a philosopher.
"That's true! This forest is amazing! With so many kinds of plants living in it, it's like a living plant encyclopedia or botanical museum! It's really an eye-opener in the last days! A feast for the eyes! If it weren't for this unpolluted forest, it would be impossible to see the plants before the end of the world! Now it's basically mutated plants and animals......" Wang Yueyue also seemed to sigh a little emotionally.
Zhan Xiaogui carefully studied and observed the crystal orchid in front of him, and seemed to feel that this orchid was similar to the yellow flower planted in his backyard before the end of the world.
The yellow flowers in the backyard of your own house can be stored for a long time after being fished out in boiling water, and this crystal orchid can still be eaten after being stored for a long time? Zhan Xiaogui thought so.
