Ah Feng was stunned for a moment, and asked curiously, "Lower your head?"

Wen Yiming had heard the master talk about his early years, and introduced: "It is also the rhizome of a wormwood plant, and the locals first put the rhizome into honey to absorb its essence, and after thirty days, take it out and put it in the stream, rinse it for a hundred days, and then put it in the hands of five dead men, and then take it out and hang it on the chests of five girls who are still chaste, and finally mix it with a pig's leg for the tiger to eat." ”

"After the tiger eats the pig's leg, the rhizome will still remain in the tiger's belly, at this time, try to kill the tiger, cut the abdomen and take out the rhizome of this wormwood, that is, the head is lowered!"

"At that time, it was considered to be a very powerful talisman, with a lower head in the mouth, and it could survive in the forest even if it didn't eat or drink, even if it was a poisonous snake and beast by its side. However, there is also a time limit for using the head lower, and it cannot exceed 100 days before Lin returns home, otherwise he will have hair all over his body, his nails will grow, his mouth will show his teeth, and his appearance will become like that of a tiger. ”

"Really?" Ah Feng was taken aback when he heard this kind of strange news for the first time, but it was Diao's father who was not far in front and said loudly: "It's true!"

Then he stopped, turned around and said: "That's their ignorance, going into the mountains to find incense relies on experience, agarwood is a spiritual thing in heaven and earth, and those who are destined to live in it, and it is in vain to bow their heads without ability!"

After speaking, he turned around and continued to move forward, Wen Yiming smiled, gave Ling Yuxin a look, walked quickly to Diao's father, and said as he walked: "I heard the master say that finding agarwood in the vast mountains and mountains is like looking for a needle in the sea, and it is possible to have clues to follow by relying on rich experience." ”

"Agarwood sometimes grows in damp places at the bottom of mountain pits or on mountainsides, and sometimes it grows alone or in clusters of five to seven ridges, mixed in broad-leaved forests. Some of them are covered with litter in the ground, and sometimes they are dead trees, which are longitudinal or sunk on living trees, and have no fixed location, such as in the trunk, on the surface of the trunk, or where the branches are broken, at the roots, or at the branches. ”

Father Diao looked at Wen Yiming in surprise, nodded and said: "You kid has some knowledge, yes, the masters of finding incense have their own skills, and they naturally know more about the place of hiding incense than ordinary people." Just follow in a while, don't be left behind!"

After speaking, he quickened his pace, climbed to a high place, and shrugged his shoulders when he heard Yiming, the old man was quite arrogant?

The speed of the group is very fast, Wen Yiming has improved his physique through Hexiang, and his physical strength is outstanding, so this amount of exercise is naturally not a problem. Ling Yuxin is not bad, she is as light as a swallow, and she is also a long-term exercise. Needless to say, the rest of the bodyguards had physical strength, but it was Ah Feng, a local, who was the first to start panting.

After walking for another half a day, Ah Feng really couldn't stand it, and shouted and asked for rest, but Diao's father had no choice but to stop and scold: "Hmph, you kid is really ashamed!

After speaking, he turned around and continued to climb to a high place, Wen Yiming drank a saliva, gave Ling Yuxin a look, and followed closely.

"Daddy Diao, are you standing on a high place to check the terrain?"

Daddy Diao stood on the hillside, looking into the distance, and suddenly heard a voice from behind, nodded and said: "I didn't expect that a few of you people in the city are physically strong, standing on the high ground, you may find a particularly prominent, peculiar shape of the incense tree." ”

"Growing vertically, with dense foliage, when the sun shines, you will find sparkling agarwood trees. It is common for three to eight plants to grow in clusters, so remember the position and start looking for it in the forest. ”

"There are generally two kinds of agarwood trees, the first kind of wood is harder, the wood is yellow and white, and it is rare to find agarwood on this tree, but if you are lucky, it must be of the highest quality, because of its dark color, heavy weight, and high oil content. ”

"Another type of agarwood tree has a white and red skin and a light and soft wood, which is a prolific type of agarwood. Use an axe to split a piece of the trunk of the tree, peel the bark upwards and backwards, if it feels tough and easy to peel, the wood is light and soft, and the bark has a strange aroma similar to burning, it can be judged as an agarwood tree. ”

Diao's father took out a water bladder, drank saliva and said: "Big trees and small trees are not the standard for incense, I have seen agarwood trees weighing 10,000 catties that can pick less than half a kilogram of agarwood, or even no incense at all." On the contrary, the diameter of different varieties is less than 10 centimeters, and the small incense trees with a height of 5 meters have been formed by agarwood. ”

The old man looked at the vast mountains and sighed a little: "Now future generations are not subject to rules for money, and they will pick incense trees when they see them, leaving no room at all." When I was a child, everyone had to fast and bathe before setting off, pray for the spirit to appear, and the elders warned their sons and nephews not to cut down the agarwood trees with dense branches and leaves, straight bodies, and smooth bark!"

"June to November is the season when the agarwood tree blooms and bears fruit and spreads seeds, and it will be passed on from generation to generation. If you really want to go into the mountains to sink and sink it, you must look for it underground, the agarwood tree that has been diseased or injured is put in the forest after it withers down, and it is attacked by wind and rain over the years, the wood fiber part is naturally decayed, and the oil part absorbs the essence of the sun and the moon, which is black and strong, and it is not bad after hundreds of years, and the agarwood is of high quality and high price, comparable to gold and diamonds. ”

Wen Yiming nodded, and continued: "I also heard my master say that if you want to mine agarwood on a living tree, you can only do it from January to May, and you should choose old trees, with fine yellow leaves, long tumors in the trunk, or insect holes, you should pay more attention to the broken branches, or the branches are sunken into holes and stagnant water. ”

"Observe the growth of agarwood, once the infection is found, dark brown spots appear on the tree, the young leaves stop growing, the color turns from green to yellow, and the stamens are no longer in full bloom, you can judge that the agarwood tree is sinking, for several decades, you can form agarwood, at this time, you should raise incense, leave a mark, and wait for future generations to pick again. ”

"Your master is right, boy, a little knowledge!"

Daddy Diao turned his head and smiled for the first time: "It's rare to meet a knowledgeable person like you, it's a bit interesting!"

The old man put his hands to his ears and listened attentively: "In the forest, I often hear all kinds of creepy bison, tigers, crickets, and toads, but my favorite thing to hear is the sound of bells and birds, because it will predict the good news of the appearance of agarwood!"

"Their sound is like the bell of a temple, because the agarwood seeds are sweet and fragrant, whenever the flower season, the bell bird, which is like a little crow, often flies over the mountains and forests, gathers to feed, we stand on a high place, watch its flying direction or gathering place, or listen to the chirping, predict the distance and near, according to the search for the agarwood tree, when can be found around it, agarwood. ”

As soon as the words fell, there were bursts of birdsong in the air, the sound was like a bell, and Daddy Diao was shocked, and hurriedly followed the sound.

Wen Yiming also raised his head, and saw a large flock of black birds flying not far away, not big, but loud, hovering in the air.

"Let's go!"

Daddy Diao determined the location, turned around and left, and the two quickly returned to the same place, called the others, and continued to set off, rushing to the place where the birds gathered.

Wangshan ran a dead horse, and at a short distance from a high place, everyone walked for most of the day. Fortunately, there is a humanoid locator of Diao Daddy, otherwise he can't even distinguish between southeast and northwest in the deep mountains and old forests, and he will definitely get lost if he takes two steps.

"Sure enough, it's here again!"

Everyone finally came to the destination in the evening, and Diao Dad was a little excited: "I have seen the birds gather again several times, and today I finally found the exact location, there must be agarwood here!"

Turned around and said loudly: "The terrain here is flat, there should be no danger, let's look around, don't run too far, shout if you find it, you must come back to gather in an hour!"
