Chapter 523: Heavenly Veins
If it's not hidden in a hole in the ground, will it be sprinkled directly on the ground?
With the intention of probing, Shao Xuan looked around there, but saw a few plants similar to grains, but those did not look like the things that the Ji family would leave behind, because most of them belonged to the land here, Shao Xuan had seen similar plants in various places, and I heard that there were tribes that would plant them in the early years, but then gradually discovered the higher yield of grain categories, and these were gradually forgotten.
The reason why you can see these popular grain plants here thousands of years ago is also because a small tribe once lived here, and the cave below is still left by that unknown small tribe, which was once used as a granary, hoarding grain, and the surrounding ground will be more or less scattered.
However, these are not things that the Ji family can see, and even thousands of years ago, they would not have carried such grain seeds with them. The ones that can be carried by the Ji family must be the one they think is more precious.
After looking again, Shao Xuan still didn't find a suitable target.
Could it be that the three people of the Ji family really didn't carry any seeds? Or did all the seeds they carried rot into dust?
Or did someone come here to look for it a long time ago and dig up everything?
No, it shouldn't be. It's only been two or three years since Thief Eleven and Thief Twelve came here, and if someone had come earlier, most of them would have found the underground cave, and the Long Live Leaf wouldn't have been taken away by Thief Eleven and Thief Twelve.
Thinking wrong?
Shao Xuan stood at the entrance of the cave and looked around.
There were a lot of weeds around, all kinds of plants that I couldn't name, and there were not many trees, only a few small saplings that were not growing well, and a few bushes scattered in the middle of nowhere. So it's a little bit more empty here.
In this place, there are indeed fewer trees, and all kinds of weeds look very luxuriant, but that's just because there are many, and they look very lush when they are gathered together, but if you look at them separately. Each one doesn't seem to be so good.
Thinking of the growth environment of a thousand grains of gold, when they grow, they almost rob all the nutrients from the surrounding land, and they are extremely domineering. It's not so obvious here, but there's a similar trend.
Yes There's definitely something here!
Shao Xuan's gaze swept around again, but this time, instead of looking for grain-like plants, he looked at all the plants that grew on this field. Then, his gaze rested on a plant that was no more than knee-high for him.
Just now, I only went to look for millet, but I didn't notice these plants, and now when I look at it, Shao Xuan feels familiar.
I often run in the mountains and forests, and I usually see the plants in the forest outside, and I feel familiar, but. This time it was familiar, not the plants he had seen in the mountains and forests. Thinking about it, Shao Xuan felt that this was very similar to a plant he had seen in the grange where he lived.
At that time, Shao Xuan went to look for Jiju, who took him to see it in Jingu Grange, and also got to know a lot of plants that they often grow over there, and there are crops for daily consumption. There are also some other special plants.
Among them, there is a kind of plant, which Jiju calls "Heavenly Vein", and in the Golden Valley Grange, there is a large piece of land specially set aside for planting, and it is guarded on weekdays. The slaves couldn't go there at all, and the stewards took care of it themselves. But Ji Ju didn't say much at that time, so he left there with Shao Xuan.
Jingu Grange is famous for the grains in it, and the grains that Jiju mainly introduced to Shao Xuan are also grains, so the place where Tianmai is planted is just a walk, and he doesn't stay too much, Shao Xuan's impression of it is not very deep, if he doesn't see this plant here now, he can't remember the specific appearance of Tianmai.
The one not far away looks very much like the "Heavenly Vein" planted in their grange, but in comparison, the ones planted in Jiju's grange have more leaves and grow better, and here it looks very shriveled, if you don't look carefully, it can't be associated with those plants with dense branches and leaves in your impression, Shao Xuan didn't pay attention to it at first, and there is also this reason.
For the "Heavenly Vein", Shao Xuan has only seen its above-ground parts, but has never seen the appearance of their underground parts, the only thing he knows is that the most precious places of the "Heavenly Vein" are all underground, and the appearance of the "Heavenly Vein" is very similar to the distribution of the meridians of the human body. They grow like this, which is why they are named "Heavenly Veins".
Is it really "Heavenly Pulse"?
That's what those three Ji family members brought here?
found one, and then looked around, Shao Xuan saw several more, but they were not big, far from the good growth of those in Jingu Grange.
Shao Xuan put his sword aside, took out a short dagger and walked over, intending to dig one first. As soon as he took two steps, he suddenly felt that something was wrong, Shao Xuan looked sideways at a "bush" ten meters away from him, he had always thought that it was just an ordinary bush growing here, but now he felt that something was wrong.
As soon as I turned my footsteps, I walked towards the bush, and when I got closer, I found that this was not a bush, but a plant with many forked branches, and the leaves on it were not too big, but if you compare the "Tianmai" just now, you can find that the leaves of the two are exactly the same!!
It's just that the difference is that the stem of the aboveground part of the small "Heavenly Vein" is not woody, and what Shao Xuan saw in Jingu Grange at the beginning was not wooden, but this one is!
This "heavenly vein" can be said to be the best growing in this place. Although it is only half a human tall, if it is just an ordinary bush, it is not counted, but compared to the other heavenly veins around here, this one is the largest!
If Tianmai is not a herbaceous plant that grows for several years, but can become lignified and grow indefinitely, then is this largest "Tianmai" left by the original Ji family?
It's just that thousands of years have passed, and the "Heavenly Pulse" has changed in this way?
Either way, it's a big discovery!
Shao Xuan's heart was hot, although he was anxious to see how this largest "Heavenly Vein" grew, but he did not directly attack this largest tree. He didn't know what the underground part of the Heavenly Vein was, if he was not careful, he would not be able to destroy a treasure.
Therefore, Shao Xuan walked back again, took the dagger, and carefully dug out the small plant that he had found before.
The soil was pushed away little by little, and the roots of this plant, which was less than Shao Xuan's knee-height, gradually revealed its true face.
There are a lot of roots, if it weren't for the different growth of stems and leaves, Shao Xuan would still think that he was digging ginseng, but this is more dense than the roots of ginseng.
Shao Xuan was more careful, trying his best to dig out this small "Heavenly Vein" completely.
The more he dug in, the more frightened he became, and when he saw the complete Heavenly Vein, Shao Xuan even had a creepy trembling feeling.
It's so similar!
It's so similar!
When Shao Xuan first heard Jiju introduce the Heavenly Vein, he only knew that the most useful underground part of the Heavenly Vein looked very similar to the human meridians, but now that he really sees it, he knows to what extent it resembles.
The dug out root system is only the length of the palm, and each thin whisker is like a meridian corresponding to the human body, where it is thick, where it is thin, which place is long, which place is short, and where it is forked...... Almost more than 90% of them can be supported!
Tianmai lives up to its name!
Shao Xuan didn't understand what the Tianmai was for, and Ji Ju didn't say anything at that time, only told Shao Xuan that it was a medicinal plant. However, looking at its appearance, it should also be related to the meridians, right?
After digging out one, Shao Xuan searched around again, and now he is looking for the heavenly veins instead of staring at the grains, and he can find that there are not a few heavenly veins growing around here, Shao Xuan just looked around within fifty meters, and he saw more than 20 trees!
Shao Xuan plans to dig these up and take them back to see, it would be better if they could be transplanted, Jiju can be willing to open up such a large piece of land in the grange, specifically plant the heavenly veins, and guard them with heavy soldiers, it must not be an ordinary thing.
After chasing the thieves for eleven and twelve for so long, it took a lot of time to run here again, and now it is almost dark, Shao Xuan does not plan to go back to the tribe tonight, and now he is guarding here.
I went to hunt a wild boar in the woods, found some fruit, and settled for today's dinner. While hunting, Shao Xuan also saw a flying squirrel that was being hunted, this kind of thing happens all the time in the mountains and forests, and it can be seen everywhere. If it was in the past, Shao Xuan wouldn't have looked at it more, but now Shao Xuan intervened and saved the flying squirrel that was already injured and was about to be swallowed.
It's not that Shao Xuan suddenly became kind, he thought of the Heavenly Vein, and wanted to use this flying squirrel to test the use of the Heavenly Vein.
The flying squirrel tied by Shao Xuan with a straw rope screamed in horror and struggled hard, but he couldn't break free from the straw rope no matter what.
Waiting for Shao Xuan to solve the wild boar and fill his stomach, he brought the flying squirrel over. Not too close, this little thing has sharp claws and bites. Shao Xuan held the flying squirrel in one hand, and picked up the heavenly vein dug up today with the other hand, and the roots were facing the flying squirrel.
The roots of the heavenly vein came to the flying squirrel, but the flying squirrel desperately wanted to avoid it, Shao Xuan continued to put the roots of the heavenly vein to the flying squirrel's mouth, the flying squirrel was forced to be anxious, bit down, and then froze.
But it was only a second of froze, and soon, the flying squirrel frantically gnawed at the roots of the veins, and the speed, like a chef chopping vegetables, only heard the sound of clacking, and the roots of the veins that came to the squirrel's mouth quickly disappeared.
When Shao Xuan took back the heavenly vein, the flying squirrel was still struggling, looking reluctant, stretching its neck to continue gnawing.
Without giving it any more heavenly veins, Shao Xuan quietly observed the changes in this flying squirrel.
Many animals have a natural and intuitive desire to find herbs, know what is good for them, know when to eat which is good, and since they show such eagerness, they think that the celestial veins are very useful. (To be continued.) )
