After saying goodbye to all the Yao people, Zhao Xinghua and others got on the horse and rushed back to Pingshi Town, and the journey of sixty or seventy kilometers took more than an hour to arrive, and they first found Liang Hanba and the three outside the town, and learned about each other's situation in the past two days, and rushed back to the town again when they saw that everyone was safe and sound.

After returning to middle school, Zhao Xinghua told Lan Yuqing and other She elders what happened in Mangshan, and Lan Yuqing was silent for a while after hearing this:

"The sooner the Xingxiang Platoon withdrew from the mountain, there would not have been so many casualties, if they left a little later, those mutated animals would have taken the initiative to attack the human gathering place in the mountain because of the increasing lack of food in the deep winter. They are so accustomed to relying on the shelter of the mountains that they will not starve to death even if they do not grow crops, slash-and-burn, hunting, and gathering can be abundant, and the food that can be picked up at their fingertips, such as fungus, shiitake mushrooms, mushrooms, bamboo shoots, wild vegetables, and fruits, has made them forget the dangers, and now it is no longer a time when they can rely on a curved bow and a musket to be careless in the woods. ”

The other She elders nodded their heads one after another, thinking deeply, when this small generation patriarch proposed to migrate out of the mountains, many of them also expressed opposition, thanks to the persistence of the small patriarch to let them leave the Yao Mountain, where they lived, otherwise the consequences would not be much better.

Zhao Xinghua told about the green snake and the black bear he encountered, especially the snake he picked up, hoping that someone in the She clan could transform it into body armor and other items, Lan Yuqing was very interested after hearing it, and asked Zhao Xinghua to bring it, saying that she could help, she really wanted to see such a big snake skin and the big Ganoderma lucidum, and at this time, a calm and calm patriarch changed back to the appearance of a curious and lively little girl.

More than a dozen huge snakes were spread on the ground, and among them was a large basin of Ganoderma lucidum.

A group of She clan elders and Lan Yuqing gathered around to inspect it carefully, and nodded their heads to indicate that it was a good thing.

When the observation was over, everyone returned to their positions and sat down.

Zhao Xinghua asked Lan Yuqing:

"Doesn't the Blue Maiden know what to do with these items? Is there a connection between the reishi mushroom and the evolution of the snake? ”

"The big snake should have absorbed the essence of this lingzhi in order to grow rapidly, so that it can become a giant beast in just half a year."

"But this Ganoderma lucidum is still intact, is there still many other strains that have been eaten by it, and only this one is left?"

"No, snakes are carnivores, but unlike mammalian carnivores, they occasionally eat grass or other plants, and snakes don't eat Ganoderma lucidum."

"Then I'm completely confused."

"Let me start with Ganoderma lucidum, Ganoderma lucidum is the legendary collection of thousands of years of heaven and earth, sun and moon essence of the "immortal grass", also known as "immortal medicine", "mountains, rivers, clouds and rain, four times and five elements, the essence of yin and yang day and night, to give birth to five-color Shenzhi." "The birth of a spiritual Ganoderma lucidum must be haunted by mythology, pure in color, auspicious clouds, and full of spiritual light. Also known as the spirit of the forest. The top Ganoderma lucidum grows with snakes. Snakes have spirituality and know how to practice, Ganoderma lucidum is the essence of heaven and earth, and snakes and other animals absorb the essence to help practice. Or the protection of poisonous snakes is because the living environment of poisonous snakes is very similar to the suitable environment for the growth of Ganoderma lucidum, which likes yin and is afraid of strong light, so they live together. ”

"In the growth and maturity period of Ganoderma lucidum, the extremely tiny ovoid germ cells ejected from the folds of Ganoderma lucidum, that is, the so-called Ganoderma lucidum spore powder, are living organisms, and these are also the essence parts released by Ganoderma lucidum. That is the reason why it has stayed in one place and has not left, and more than a dozen transformations have surrounded the vicinity of this Ganoderma lucidum. ”

"But why did it leave again?"

"The reason should be that in winter, Ganoderma lucidum no longer produces spores to develop, and the big snake also needs to find a place to hibernate, or this Ganoderma lucidum can no longer help the evolution of the Mangshan soldering iron head, after all, the medicinal effect also depends on the course of treatment, and its course of treatment has passed. You need to find a higher tonic medicine. ”

"Listening to this, this Ganoderma lucidum is really good, but how to eat it with a hard state?"

The color of this plant is red, the lid is huge, the texture is clear, the shape is like the auspicious clouds of Shujuan, the color is like the blood of the red, the ruby brilliance can be identified, and the stem of the mushroom is short and stout, it should be "Red Flame Ganoderma lucidum". Generally speaking, Ganoderma lucidum is flat, which means that it is not biased, cold, hot, warm and cool, suitable for people with any physique, and any season, and has the effect of balancing yin and yang, correcting and consolidating the foundation. Your "Compendium of Materia Medica" also records that "Ganoderma lucidum has a bitter taste, is non-toxic, can replenish the middle, increase wisdom, and can be lightweight and immortal after eating for a long time." "And our She people's medical skills pay attention to the six gods and the balance of yin and yang, this red flame lingzhi has been out of the category of ordinary lingzhi, and has been nourished and symbiotic by the snake venom of the Mangshan soldering iron head, but has become a thing of the sun."

Speaking of this, Lan Yuqing thought for a moment and continued:

"You need to find a way to balance yin and yang, so that most of the people who eat it directly will be weak and die violently, just a tiny spores can give birth to a two-meter snake to twenty meters, this Ganoderma lucidum is probably not so easy to eat."

"Owner, I think since it can't be taken orally directly, it doesn't have to be taken orally, it is safer and more secure to soak it in wine to achieve a balance between yin and yang, and it is also easy to preserve, and it is not too late to find a way to eat it in the future. Find some feminine spirits to infuse and strike a balance. ”

This time it was a very old woman of the She ethnic group who spoke.

"This is my teacher, it turns out that our She doctor is to pass on men but not women, hehe, my teacher ignored the rules of the door and accepted me, a stubborn disciple. But teacher, how does wine distinguish between yin and yang? ”

"People are divided into men and women, and wine is also divided into yin and yang. The liquor that is condensed after distillation is the yang energy rising in the distillation process, and the liquor distilled by condensing the steam is the masculine liquor; There is a saying that "the fog in the sky, the frost on the ground, and the water in mid-air". - This is the formula for curing diseases, collecting medicines, and identifying medicines. The fog in the sky is a foggy substance formed in the sky by distillation or transpiration of water on the earth, and it is a masculine thing, a pure yang thing. The frost on the ground is the condensation and crystallization of the negative substance on the earth, and it is a cold thing. Then the wine that has not been distilled and directly fermented is a negative wine, which has a tonic effect. Baijiu looks clear and translucent, while rice wine looks cloudy because there are a lot of negative substances in it, such as sugar, which is sticky, so negative liquor like rice wine has a tonic effect. The positive wine goes up, and the negative wine goes down. To make medicinal liquor, most of them are brewed with liquor, and the medicinal properties are brought up by the medicinal power of liquor. The degree of negative wine is very low, such wine cannot be soaked in medicinal wine at all, and the higher the degree, the better the medicinal effect. If you must use negative wine to make wine, use medicinal herbs and brewing raw materials, such as rice, to ferment together, and release the medicinal effect during the fermentation process, so that it is effective. You can't brew it with low-alcohol sake alone. ”

"Taught!"

Zhao Xinghua expressed his gratitude, these theories such as the five elements of yin and yang, he used to completely disbelieve in them, and now that the old world is collapsing, his concept is also changing, looking for a new theoretical support in science and tradition.

"So how do you cut and sew these hard snake skins?"

"This is very simple, just let Uncle Ping help you get it for you in a while, your hat is basically completed, and the tung oil has been dried."

Zhao Xinghua naturally would not be stingy, and cut off one-third of the Ganoderma lucidum with a war knife, and gave out two snake moults as a reward. This made everyone in the She ethnic group extremely grateful, and it was not that no one among them thought of leaving these things behind, but after secretly weighing the gains and losses, they still didn't dare to be reckless. This is not a person's character likes and dislikes, but the temptation of the things in front of him is too great, and on the other hand, if someone takes them out to show Zhao Xinghua, he will also have the idea of robbing them. Evil thoughts will appear in the hearts of all people, and whether they can maintain their sanity is the final criterion.

The She people soon sent several wine jars, which contained home-brewed rice wine, which were used to store Ganoderma lucidum.

Uncle Ping also came over and taught them how to make snakeskin armor.

Originally, in order to make the snake skin fully absorb water, it is necessary to add an appropriate amount of tea tree oil and osmanthus oil to the water soaked in the snake skin, and soak it for 2~4 hours. Then add more than 2 times the volume of the snakeskin, which can accelerate the immersion. Then use a piece of bamboo to scrape off the scales and dirt on the inside, starting from the head, with gentle and even force. Then rinse the snake skin well. Then soak the snake skin in an appropriate amount of salt water for 4~5 hours, wash it with water and control the moisture after taking it out. Finally, it is tanned with larch and willow extracts. After tanning, the snake has become soft, smooth and elastic, and no longer has the feeling of dry and hard wrinkles as before, which makes everyone admire it very much.

The hats that have been brushed and dried with tung oil have also been brought, each of the same size, and a handle has been added to the inside to serve as a handshake when using the shield. After putting on the hat, the feeling of a swordsman returned to Zhao Xinghua, now that he has a horse and a knife in his hand, it seems that there is something missing?

In a logistics company outside the town, Liang Hanba, Jiaojiao and others were also recalled, and the team members reunited for a group meeting.

"This time, I need to be led by Tang Chao, accompanied by Ma Jincheng, Luo Guoquan and Yang Hao, to return to Liangkou Town, and deliver these jars of Ganoderma lucidum wine to Major Zhao Jie, I believe that it will become a more valuable item in his place. There is also a letter I wrote, introducing the events we encountered along the way, and the recipe for poisoning zombies with Heavenly Ginger. There is also a way to make a shield and hat, and the rest of these snakes, this trip will hand over our harvest these days to the four of you for safekeeping, there can be no problems along the way, no extraneous branches, we are waiting for your return at the 7011 base or Pingshi Town, if you can't find us there in the future, we will go all the way north to Hengyang. It would be better to be able to bring back two more horses. ”

"Yes! Mission completion guaranteed! ”

Zhao Xinghua cut off a few small pieces of Ganoderma lucidum, put them into military kettles, and poured rice wine. Each person distributes a jar, since Ganoderma lucidum is also called "immortal fairy grass", then if there is an accident and serious injury in the future, I hope this can be used as the last life-saving capital. Zhao Xinghua's temporary decision also saved the lives of several team members later.

After a few people set off, everyone began their own repairs. Ning Yue and Fan Yao took the fanged dagger to make snakeskin inner armor for everyone, and Gao Lie Xiong sneakily went out without a trace. Jiaojiao couldn't enter the town these days, so she and Liang Hanba formed a group to hunt fierce beasts in the mountains, and the pituitary gland obtained fed the big black cat, and the meat was eaten by the lickers. So now, although the Wind Demon and Shadow Demon have not continued to evolve, they look more robust, and they don't have the red glow of their bare skin. Pan Yinlong has been very close to Lan Yuqing recently, and the two are of the same age and have a common topic. Zhao Xinghua ran to visit the evolutionaries brought by the Ninth Apostle with nothing to do, and after seeing that their bodies were almost recovered, he used the time of the past few days to start a political class, and then taught some combat skills, and carried out the work of winning people's hearts silently.

Everyone will quickly find a role to adapt to in these last days.

It has been said that with great power comes great responsibility, and the same benefits will be greater. At the same time, the rewards are enormous.
