Seeing that I was a little hesitant, Da Lao Li continued: "I know it's a bit abrupt to ask you directly, but we can't wander around aimlessly, our fairy mountain is very big, starting from the soles of our feet, and then to the north, out of the border also belongs to the fairy mountain, we can't always hang around on the mountain!" ”

I smiled and said, "You're right, I don't mind anything, the main thing is that I don't know where the destination is this time, the only thing I can tell you is that what we are looking for is one of the Three Treasures of the Northeast." ”

Elder Li muttered, "One of the Three Treasures? Ginseng, mink, antler horns! Needless to say, the last two things are naturally needless to say, and there is nothing new about them, what are you looking for is ginseng? ”

Seeing me nodding, Elder Li thoughtfully: "I'm afraid you're looking for an ordinary mallet, right?" ”

I found that this old Li was big, but his brain was not stupid, but he thought of the key to the problem in the blink of an eye, and he was not far from the correct answer.

Stick mallet is a common name for ginseng in the mountains, ginseng is known as the king of herbs in this land, also known as goblin, divine grass, ghost cover, longevity flower, stick mallet.

I looked at Da Lao Li interestingly: "How do you know that what we are looking for is not ordinary mountain ginseng?" ”

Elder Li's face turned from red to white: "Brother, don't say dark words in front of the Ming people, most of the people who put mountains in this mountain to pick ginseng are after the rain in the valley and before the white dew, that is, in April and May." What time of year is it? Severe winter! Those who dare to go into the mountains to catch ginseng during this time period can only look for that ......"

Da Lao Li seemed to shrink his neck in fear, stretched out a hand, posed as a six, and said in a low voice: "Looking for this, right?" ”

I was a little confused, so I said, "Is there any custom here?" You don't look like an underground party, people's gestures are eight, what is your whole six? ”

The elder Li rolled his eyes: "There is a saying in our place, which is called putting the mountain in April and May, picking ginseng to make a fortune, reaching the top in the cold winter wax moon, touching the gods and being rich and rivaling the country!"

Do you know what that means? This god is Sam. It is this year to enter the mountain, then the only way to go to the highest mountain of the fairy mountain, the purpose is to touch the most divine ginseng in our place, you will tell the truth, this dead cold weather, if you are not real, Lao Li and I will not pay attention to it! ”

I smiled bitterly and nodded: "I don't know the real situation, I'm just a follower, someone above told me so, I did it like this, what's wrong with it, don't mind." ”

Elder Li was puzzled: "Above? Yes, this involves confidentiality, and I won't ask more, so as not to embarrass you, and I'm stupid, you told me before you came, this trip is life-threatening, I should think that it's this layer, how can someone like you who has the ability to just go up the mountain to have fun, I've seen a nouveau riche who is full of food, but I haven't seen Mr. Yin and Yang who plays with his life. ”

Then he looked at Qian Yongzhen, who was sleeping on the kang in the house, and said: "I can see it, that kid is the protagonist, although these people listen to you, but you are protecting him inside and out all the time, which means that you would rather pay for your life than let him die?" ”

I sneered and buttoned my hair, which I hadn't washed in two days, "Yes." ”

"Alas! You are all people who do big things, let's not say anything, but brother, I see you pleasing to the eye, you are my brother, I tell you the truth. ”

Elder Li lowered his voice to a very low voice and said, "This kid is not simple!" ”

Isn't it easy? I chuckled in my heart and said with a smile: "He is naturally not ordinary, otherwise how could he let me be protected like this?" ”

Seeing that I was reluctant to mention this topic, Da Lao Li smiled and said nothing more.

I rubbed my nose and said, "Brother Li, tell me about the rush, I'm quite interested." ”

Da Lao Li touched his glowing head again: "When it comes to the mallet, it's not that I'm talking nonsense, they all say that our fairy mountain is rich in this thing, but if you really go up the mountain, there are really few people who can pick the real old mountain ginseng."

Now the ginseng made of Korean sticks on the market, looking at the thickness of the arm, the size of the big scary, in fact, it is all waste, burning sticks are not as good, relying on appearance to deceive those who do not know how to do it.

Knowledgeable people know that the real old ginseng is only the size of a palm, and that appearance is a villain. ”

Speaking of this, the elder Li said with envy: "My old Li has grown so big, and I really saw it, I saw it once when I was twenty-seven years old. ”

When he said the slap, his eyes lit up, and even my heart was excited.

The palm is divided according to the grade of ginseng, and it is the old ginseng with five leaves.

The name of ginseng is very distinctive, the annual ginseng is made up of three leaflets, commonly known as three flowers.

The biennial is composed of five leaflets, shaped like a human hand, and is commonly known as a horseshoe.

The three-year-old two branches, each with five leaves, are commonly known as Erjiazi.

The three branches of the four-year-old are commonly known as the lampstands.

The four branches of the five-year-old are commonly known as the four pins (also known as batches and horses) leaves.

The six-year-old five branches, commonly known as the five-pint leaves, are also slaps.

There are also six palm-shaped compound leaves, commonly known as six-pint leaves, 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.

But legend has it that there is also ginseng that can grow into seven-pint leaves.

This kind of old ginseng is only stored in the story of word of mouth, and no one has really seen it, so the six leaves are the most precious in the historical records, because people have seen and picked them.

Yes, when the elder Li talked about the five pin leaves, he was already a very surprised experience.

I also asked with a sense of longing: "Wupinye, what happened in the end?" Did you pick it? ”

Elder Li shook his head bitterly: "This thing is psychic!" Running around on the ground, it's not me talking nonsense, it's the most bizarre thing I've ever seen except for you to clean up Zhang Laohan.

In that radius of dozens of miles, we all pulled up the encirclement, and the red rope was pulled round and round, like a spider's web, and just like that, we finally let it run.

We only picked one leaf of it.

Just this one leaf has brought us unjustified disaster! Our old leader, on the way back, somehow, walked into a trap that we had set for himself, broke a leg, and never went up the mountain since.

The old man later told me that it was the mountain god who saved him at that time! The slap either don't touch it, if you touch it, you must catch it, otherwise it will retaliate, and it will definitely kill people, if it weren't for the help of the mountain god, he would definitely not be able to come back alive. ”
