"Master, please save my brother, we really came here for the third battle of the gods, we are not cult people at all, and we practice evil arts to stop the third war of the gods!" Miao Weiqiang said with tears on his face. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

"Senior, if I have any offense in front of me, please forgive me, please save my family's magic stick!" Dong Tinghua cried.

Two people knelt on the ground and begged bitterly, kneeling in front of others for their brother!

The old monk fell into silence and looked up at the top of the cave, he had been waiting lonely in this barren mountain for decades, just for this Cordyceps, and now he wants to give this Cordyceps away, which is still psychologically unacceptable, but every word the old lama said deeply hurt his heart, he was right, even if he ate Cordyceps and cultivated a positive fruit, what would the Buddha of the West Heaven think of me, and what would the Buddha of the West Heaven think of me.

After a long time, the old monk took a deep breath and said, "Okay, this may be fate, I will give him this cordyceps today, hoping that he can stop the damn third battle of the gods!" "There is still a trace of unwillingness in my heart.

The old monk walked to the stone wall, folded his hands, emitting a golden light, and a strange change occurred on the stone wall opposite the old monk, shaking back and forth like water waves!

"Come with me!" The old monk said.

Miao Weiqiang, Dong Tinghua followed the old monk into the stone wall, sighed in his heart, there was a mysterious enchantment in this cave, the old lama stayed outside, he didn't want to step into the old monk's enchantment, looking at the old monk who walked in, Miao Weiqiang, Dong Tinghua and the three, the corners of his mouth showed a smile, about this strange monk guarding a thousand-year-old cordyceps, I still listen to what the master said.

Miao Weiqiang, Dong Tinghua followed behind the old monk, through the stone wall is an endless snowfield, not far away is a dead tree, here is like a teleportation channel, three people came to the tree, a worm the size of a ham sausage, lazily lying in the hollow of the dead tree.

"Is this... Dong Tinghua exclaimed.

The old monk took a deep breath and said, "That's right, this is Cordyceps!" ”

Regarding Cordyceps, Dong Tinghua and Miao Weiqiang have all seen in books that Cordyceps sinensis is a highly valuable herb.

Cordyceps sinensis, also known as Cordyceps, is a kind of precious tonic herb commonly used by the folk in China, its nutritional content is higher than that of ginseng, it can be used as medicine and can also be eaten, it is a superior delicacy, and has high nutritional value. Cordyceps sinensis can enhance the body's immunity, nourish the lungs and kidneys, and have obvious inhibitory effects on lung cancer and liver cancer. Clinically, it is effective for lung deficiency, prolonged cough, asthma, tuberculosis, hemoptysis, night sweats, kidney deficiency, waist and knee pain, impotence and spermatogenesis, neurasthenia and red blood cell decline after chemotherapy and radiotherapy.

Cordyceps sinensis is made of insect body and bacterium, with a total length of 9~12 cm. The insect body is like a three-sleeping old silkworm, about 3~6 cm long and 0.4~0.7 cm thick. The appearance is dark yellow and rough, with many transverse wrinkles on the back, 8 pairs of feet on the ventral surface, and 4 pairs in the middle of the body are clearly visible.

The inner part of the section is full, white, slightly yellowish, and the periphery is dark yellow. The spine emerges from the head of the worm body, is rod-shaped, curved, and slightly enlarged in the upper part. The surface is gray-brown or black-brown, up to 4~8 cm long, and about 0.3 cm in diameter. When broken, the heart is empty and pink-white. The smell is slight and the taste is light. It is better to have a bright yellow body color, plump and hypertrophied, yellow-white cross-section, and short susceptia.

Cordyceps sinensis is the name of a medicine, and its appearance is particularly peculiar, it is a worm in winter and a grass in summer. So how did it go from bug to grass? In summer, the spores of a fungus called Cordyceps fungus mature and scatter and germinate into hyphae that burrow into the larvae of the manta moth and absorb nutrients from the larvae. The larvae of the manta moth hide in the soil, and the Cordyceps fungus grows many filamentous bodies called mycelium. The larvae are sucked out of nutrients in their bodies, leaving only a dead empty shell, and of course they cannot turn into manta moths. In the spring and summer of the following year, when the temperature and weather were suitable, the mycelium grew out of the mouthparts of the larvae and protruded from the ground. The tip is slightly enlarged, shaped like a rod, and has many small spherical spores on the surface. These spores can fly through the air, and how many manta moth larvae in the grass will become the living place of these spores.

As for the growth of Cordyceps, insects are the larvae of the Cordyceps bat moth, and the fungus is the fungus of Cordyceps, and in the middle of summer, the snow and ice melt on the snow-capped mountain meadows above 3,800 meters above sea level, and the small bat moth leaves thousands of eggs on the flowers and leaves. Then the moth eggs become small insects, burrow into the moist and loose soil, absorb the nutrients of the plant rhizomes, and gradually raise the body to be white and fat. At this time, the spherical ascospores encounter the larvae of the Cordyceps bat moth and burrow into the body of the worm, absorb its nutrients, and germinate hyphae. Cordyceps bat moth larvae also become Cordyceps when they feed on leaves with Cordyceps fungus.

Fugal-infected larvae gradually wriggle to a distance of two to three centimeters from the surface, where they die on their heads and tails. This is the "winter worm". Although the larvae die, the fungus grows day by day until it fills the entire body. In the late spring and early summer of the following year, a small purple-red grass grows on the head of the insect, about 2 to 5 centimeters high, with a pineapple-shaped sac shell at the top, which is called "summer grass". Cordyceps is the most fully developed at this time, and the active ingredients in the body are the highest, which is the best season for collection. Qinghai, Tibet, Diqing and Nujiang Prefecture in Yunnan Province are one of the main producing areas of Cordyceps in China.

"Okay, don't look at it, hurry up and get out of here, if I regret it, it won't be so easy for you to take it away!" The old monk said with a sad face.

"Senior, your great kindness, our brothers are unforgettable!" Miao Weiqiang said.

"Stop talking nonsense, get out of here..." The old monk shouted angrily.

Miao Weiqiang and Dong Tinghua gratefully watched the old monk turn around and leave this secret realm and return to the cave.

"Did you find that cordyceps?" The old lama asked.

"Found it!" Dong Tinghua spread out his palm, and there was a motionless little insect lying in his palm.

"Alas, this cordyceps is really not easy to come by, hurry up and feed it to this stinky boy!" The old lama said.

"How can you feed it, the god stick is unconscious now, and he can't swallow this!" Dong Tinghua asked.

"Wouldn't it be okay to just open your mouth and stuff it in?" The old lama said.

Miao Weiqiang and Dong Tinghua took a lot of effort, and they didn't stuff Cordyceps into Zhou Tianyi's stomach, they were in a coma, how could they eat, if they drank water, it was almost the same!

The old lama is sitting cross-legged on the ground and healing!

"Huazi, I've seen the method of eating cordyceps in a book before, but I can't remember it now!" Miao Weiqiang said. (To be continued.) )
