Liu Sanshou's state at this moment reminds me of my father's reaction on the night of the Sanchawan flood.

The fear and jealousy in his eyes are simply carved out of a mold.

Who has such great ability to do nothing can make two people who are accustomed to seeing strong winds and waves fearful.

After a long silence in the wooden house, I sighed helplessly, looked at Liu Sanshou and said, "If you really have something unspeakable, then forget it." ”

A throbbing flashed on Liu San's rough face, his eyes were surrounded by smoke, and he knocked on the kang with a cigarette gun and said: "Shaodong, when the old man solves the current matter, even if he can't do it, he will give you an explanation, and." ”

Liu Sanshou paused in his words and continued: "Actually, I don't really understand what happened that day, and when I woke up, you were gone, you really let me say it now, and I don't know what to say." ”

As he spoke, he scooped up a piece of stewed meat from the earthen pot and brought it to his mouth, sucked it, smashed his mouth and said, "Why don't you two rest here for one night first, you can't go to the mountains at night this season, and wait until tomorrow when the ghost bares his teeth, the old man will take you to the rice bowl to feel the situation." ”

I looked at the sky outside that it was not completely dark, and I had been thinking about Sister Yu's safety and the old Suo Touer and others who might have entered the mountain, so I couldn't help but be a little anxious and said: "If it's too late, I'm afraid that things will be preconceived......"

Liu Sanshou interrupted my words and said: "You should be the king of the herbs is the cabbage planted in the ground, whoever arrives first will be plucked out, the king of herbs, the leader of wild ginseng, the real treasure, to this level of heaven and earth treasure can be powerful, there is no specific time and opportunity, even if you are a god, you have to plant it in this old forest, and wait." ”

I saw that Liu Sanshou said that there was something wrong, so I didn't force it, and I was tired all the way, sitting cross-legged on the earthen kang, looking at the red carp and saying, "How do you feel here?" ”

The red carp frowned and said, "I haven't seen anything, I can feel something." ”

I was choked and speechless for a long time, but Liu Sanshou grinned and said, "I have to say, it's not the right time for you to come." ”

I asked him curiously what's wrong, it's still time and time, do you have to look at the yellow calendar before entering the mountain?

Liu San took a spoon in his hand and stirred the earthen jar and said: "The yellow sheep in August, the wolves in September, there are more wolves than mosquitoes in the mountains in this season, and they are all wolves led by a wolf to hunt collectively. ”

I was stunned and said, "Are there really wolves?" ”

Liu Sanshou said with a smile: "The wolf is the lice of Changbai Mountain, even if the trees are extinct, the wolf will not be extinct, especially after August, those yellow sheep and sika deer are raised with fat and thick meat, and they can't run, so the wolves at this time are the same as his mother's locusts, as long as they pass by, they can't see any living creatures, or how to say that you are not here at the right time." ”

I was a little sweaty by what he said, looked at the hut made of wooden stakes in front of me, swallowed my saliva and said, "Then you are still here stew, don't be fucking found by the wolves, the house will be lifted for you." ”

Liu San said indifferently: "Dogs are afraid of bending over and wolves are afraid of light, and when they sleep at night, they make a fire at the door, even if they scream around here, they don't dare to come in, don't worry." ”

For Liu Sanshou's experience in the mountains, I am a hundred relieved, plus there are red carp around me who have been moving an inch, and I said that there should not be any big problems.

After settling down and seeing that there was nothing to do at the moment, he asked Liu Sanshou after serving a bowl of stewed meat to the red carp: "You have been in the mountains for so long, have you been to the dry rice basin, have you found any traces of the king of herbs?" ”

Liu San took a puff of his cigarette gun and said: "I have been to it three times, all of them are a few basins near the edge, I didn't dare to go deeper, and I went during the day, and I didn't find anything, but I met a single stick who participated in the gang and told me that he accidentally got lost in the dry rice basin in order to chase a six-grade ghost cover a few nights ago, if it wasn't for the mountain god master's mountain patrol lantern, it is estimated that he would have fed the wolves there." ”

The Northeast region has been influenced by shamanism for many years, and its ideas can be said to be deeply rooted in people's hearts, and to this day, many traditions and customs are still retained by those who practice old crafts.

For example, the god tune gate in the outer eight gates, the main base is in the northeast area, that is, the common folk jumping god, please Daxian, witch and goddess.

Among these people, the man is called Wu Gong, the woman is called the witch, the two cooperate, sing and dance, invite the gods and ghosts to come up, and then use it to achieve certain purposes, this line is mostly asked to do exorcism and see a doctor, now there are many difficult and incurable diseases medicine can not solve the problem, are treated through this way, and there are even rumors that there are many large hospitals in China now have difficult outpatient clinics, and their sitting is the master of the god tune.

The ginseng gang is also called the mountain man, which is a general term for the people who dig ginseng and collect ginseng in the Changbai Mountains all the year round.

Looking for ginseng in the mountains, it is very difficult, unpredictable, and the harvest is not fixed, and often walks in the mountains, there is no ghost encounter, many unique customs and rules are also conventional, passed down orally between the master and apprentice of the mountain people, passed down from generation to generation, also called "mountain rules".

When going into the mountains to collect ginseng, it is generally a group of people, which is called "pulling a gang". But under special circumstances, there is also a person who goes into the mountains to collect ginseng, and people call this kind of solitary ginseng collection "single stick pinch".

"Gangs" are generally a gang of three, five, or seven odd people, called "single to double return", and ginseng is also top of one person, indicating that ginseng will be collected.

If you find ginseng while collecting ginseng, you can't call it by its name, so you immediately shout loudly: "Mallet or Onigai", and it is said that if you goo ginseng, it will be "fixed" or "covered" and will not run away.

The annual ginseng is made up of three leaflets, commonly known as the three flower seeds; The biennial is composed of five leaflets, shaped like a human hand, commonly known as a horseshoe; The two three-year-old branches, each with five leaves, are commonly known as Erjiazi; The three branches of the four-year-old, commonly known as the lampstand; The four-pronged five-year-old is commonly known as the four-pin (also known as batch and horse) leaves; The six-year-old five-pin leaf, commonly known as the five-pint leaf; There are also six palm-shaped compound leaves, commonly known as six-pinned ghost covers, but it is rare, because ginseng no longer grows leaves when it grows to six-pint leaves, so six-pint leaves are the most precious.

Legend has it that ginseng in the age of the Liupin ghost cover cannot be defined only by plants and trees, just like a living person growing in the soil, not only sensitive to the outside world, but also able to conjure the appearance of a child to go down the mountain to play, as long as you pin it with a needle tied with a red thread at that time, you will definitely be able to find a thousand years of ginseng after dawn.

It is estimated that the ginseng picker that Liu Sanshou met was the six-grade ghost cover found by this method, and it is unknown how to make it run.

I pondered for a moment, looked at Liu Sanshou and said, "What's the matter with the mountain god, there are really immortals living in this mountain?" ”

Liu Sanshou shook his head and said: "I don't know if there are immortals in this world, but the only thing that the old man knows is that the single stick is definitely not the mountain god." ”

"What's that?" I wondered.

"The King of Herbs!"

I shuddered and said in disbelief, "Really? How do you know? ”

Liu San held a cigarette gun in his mouth, squinted his eyes and said: "This ginseng is already psychic, and the king of the hundred herbs who has cultivated into the climate has the wisdom of people, and once it is crowned with the title of king, it will attract all things to worship, and live for a long time, and have a lot of knowledge, this kind of thing has a common characteristic after becoming a fine, that is, it loves to imitate human beings, Changbai Mountain was the territory of the Manchurians, and many Qing Dynasty emperors have palaces here, and the lord in the mountain doesn't know where to see it, and every time he travels, he makes the emperor's formation, What kind of mountain patrol lanterns, mountain gods, are some tricks used by those things around it that have not yet become the climate, pretending to be mountain gods to show the way to the lost ginseng pickers, and then waiting for these people to go out after word of mouth, build temples and shapes, get incense offerings, and dream of daytime immortals. ”()
