Chapter 898: Heading North

I've seen a lot of ginseng, and when I was a child, I also met a "ginseng leader" in the mountains, so I didn't think it was particularly unusual, but when I saw this, I was still stunned for a moment.

This ginseng is not big, only two inches long, looking at the shape, it looks like a sweet potato that has not fully developed, and the beard is very long and complete.

Its body was tied with a red rope, and, with all four limbs, it was quite humanoid, and when it lay there, it looked like a little doll with eyebrows and eyes, and between its legs, there was something like a small cock.

When I saw this ginseng, I was taken aback, according to legend, a very small part of ginseng can grow into a human form, the more human-like, the more supernatural, so many people in this mountain regard ginseng as a "spirit" born in plants and trees.

What is a Genie? Anyone who reads Western mythology knows that, in fact, it is the same in China, the word elf originally referred to two kinds of "spirit" and "spirit", and the meaning of "goblin" is no different from "goblin".

"It's a youkai." Touching my chin and looking at the ginseng doll in the box, I frowned.

"Sort of." Lei Zhengui said, nodding.

"Where did you get that?" After thinking about it, I closed the lid and asked him, Lei Zhengui heard this, and smiled bitterly: "I got it by chance, but the master didn't accept it, so I had to bring it to the master, but the head didn't want it, and asked me to return this thing to the old man." Lei Zhengui said, sitting on the side and smiling bitterly: "Do you remember the first time we met?" At the time, I had just taken it away. ”

He motioned for me to sit down, and then told me about the time.

He said that before Jin Jiuye left, he already knew that his limit was approaching, and when he was about to die, the old man repaired a book, wrapped in the coin in his charge and sent it to the Maoshan General Altar, while stating his predicament, while recommending me, who was not his apprentice at that time, to take his place.

The head of the house at that time was actually the fake head surnamed Yun, although Deng Hongying and Lei Zhengui more or less noticed something wrong, but the Taoist priests themselves had a tradition of retreat and cultivation, and after the fake head usurped the throne, he had been living in seclusion for various reasons, Lei Zhengui They wanted to investigate, and it was not so easy. Most of the time, it is in charge of Li Yantong and Second Uncle Li, who was blown off an arm by me.

Li Yantong is not simple, he is very smart and scheming, when Deng Kunlun, the head of Maoshan, was in trouble, this Li Yantong was the first person to notice the problem, but unfortunately, this person was not right, and after noticing the problem, he did not take the initiative to expose the crime of the fake head, on the contrary, the two people hooked up together by mistake, and there was a great momentum of embarrassment.

On the one hand, it was the fake boss who was giving orders inside, and on the other hand, it was Li Yantong who was shouting outside, and the cooperation of the two people made people feel seamless, Lei Zhengui and Deng Hongying both knew that there was a problem here, but, under pressure from all sides, they really couldn't find out why they were there for a while.

However, Lei Zhengui's suspicion also attracted the attention of the fake duo, on the surface, they didn't say anything, in fact, the two of them also added twelve points of caution to the faction represented by Lei Zhengui, no, as soon as they got Jin Jiuye's letter, the two of them hit it off, and decided to let Lei Zhengui, a thorn in the flesh, go to perform this vital task, to put it mildly, it is the people in the general altar who have enough trust in him, and if it is not good, they just want to take this opportunity to take him away.

At that time, Lei Zhengui should have been a little reluctant, but the rules were there, as a disciple of Maoshan, there was no way to violate the law of the general altar in this case.

Because, at that time, Jin Jiuye, there was really a dead person, calculate the time, at that time, it was the time when we were ready to go into the mountains to find the beaver, but the people in the general altar couldn't wait, and urged Lei Zhen to return to the road early, he couldn't help it, knowing that there would be no result if he went early, so he followed the road of the ancients and walked between the mountains and fields, from south to north, and didn't even take a bus on this road, just like that, he ran over stubbornly.

In this process, Lei Zhengui has encountered many things, and the origin of this ginseng must also start from this process.

According to Lei Zhengui, this ginseng was found in Tianjin.

Nine rivers under the tip of Tianjin Wei, three pontoon bridges and two passes, in the Republic of China, this Tianjin Wei can be regarded as one of the best luxury locations in the country, but, after the founding of the People's Republic of China, the economy was depressed, and there were some problems in industry, although it was also a first-tier city, but there was no momentum of the year.

When Lei Zhengui passed through Hebei, he deliberately went to Tianjin to find an old man, that is a fortune teller, and Chen Daoling Chen old man learned a little skill, on seniority, Lei Zhengui also called the other party a senior brother, this person lives in the countryside, that is, the location of the suburbs, because he can pinch and calculate, and has a good character, so this person is still very famous in ten miles and eight villages, and correspondingly, this life is really good.

When the other party was learning skills, Lei Zhengui was still a little kid who followed Old Man Chen, and in a blink of an eye, Lei Zhengui became a young Taoist leader of the fairy wind bone, but the other party became a half-old man with gray hair.

Fortune telling, in fact, is similar to our Maoshan disciples, five disadvantages and three deficiencies are indispensable, when I see Lei Zhengui, the old man is still alone, eat and drink on weekdays, when there is nothing to do, play chess with people to relieve boredom, and it is rare to have old friends to meet, when I see Lei Zhengui, I am naturally very happy.

The tradition of the Chinese, when you see an old friend, you must eat and drink, this time is no exception, there are friends from afar to the heart of the happy old man personally cooked, fried a few hot dishes, and also turned out the good wine he had treasured for several years out of the cabinet, saying anything, but also let Lei Zhengui stay overnight.

Lei Zhengui saw that the days were still long, and he was not in a hurry, and when he saw the sincerity of what the other party said, he agreed.

The two of them sat cross-legged on the kang head covered with a mat, around a small square table, and chatted about the past with cups and lamps, and for a while, they felt a lot of emotion.
