Chapter 55 Millennial He Shou Wu

After another hour, He Weitong was about to go down the mountain.

When I turned around and looked at it casually, I saw a light halfway up the mountain at my feet.

It was a blue shimmer, circulating repeatedly among the plants, and He Weitong became interested.

He Weitong thought it was a mountain spirit, but when he got closer, it was rows of He Shou Wu, and the one moving around should be the thousand-year-old He Shou Wu in the original play.

He Weitong did not immediately approach, but looked at it from a distance.

When he came down from the tree, he found that there were a lot of He Shou Wu growing in this mountain.

However, most of the vintages are not high, and this is the one in front of me.

He Weitong, the name of He Shou Wu, has long heard of it, and it is said to be a medicinal material that can be called the same as ginseng.

Not to mention the thousand-year-old He Shou Wu, it is the hundred-year-old He Shou Wu, and he has never seen it.

In later generations, the exact news is not absent, but there is also no such a long year.

He Weitong once saw such a news.

On January 25, 2015, the old Chinese medicine doctor Lu and his apprentice Yang dug a pair of wild Polygonum multiflorum on the barren mountain cliff in Fengshan Town, south of the talc reservoir, one weighed 3 kilograms, and the other weighed 2.5 kilograms, which were preliminarily identified as wild Polygonum multiflorum about 400 years and 500 years old.

This is the oldest plant He Weitong knows, and of course, it doesn't mean that there is no higher one.

But the millennium He Shou Wu really has never heard of it.

It is said that according to the history of the earth and the age when the plant was born, He Shou Wu should be much more than that.

Polygonum multiflorum is a unique Chinese herbal medicine in China, and has a history of more than 1,300 years as a traditional Chinese medicine. Its stems and roots can be used in medicine, and it is regarded as a high-grade tonic and medicine like ginseng.

But this is only regarded as the history of traditional Chinese medicine, and the history of He Shou Wu should be longer.

The birth of plants has been at least two billion years ago, and the birth of each plant is a long process, and He Shou Wu can never be a species that was born in the past few thousand years, so if it is calculated in this way, not only a thousand years of He Shou Wu, but also a 10,000-year He Shou Wu should also exist.

But the reality is, not at all.

He Weitong looked at the thousand-year-old He Shou Wu that kept rotating in front of him, and He Weitong not only remembered all kinds of legends about He Shou Wu.

Among them, the most famous should be Zhang Guolao, one of the eight immortals, who ate He Shou Wu and became an immortal.

Legend has it that a long time ago, a monk of Nüshan Temple accidentally dug up a huge and fat He Shou Wu root when digging a vegetable field, the shape is like a human, you can become an immortal when you eat it, and you will live forever from then on. The old abbot immediately ordered the room to be washed and boiled.

Therefore, the old abbot convened a meeting of all the monks of the temple in the main hall to study how to eat He Shou Wu, who eats the head, who eats the body, who eats the arms and who eats the hands, legs and feet, and who drinks the soup. All the monks were rejoicing and beaming.

In order to prevent the gang from stealing food, the gang monks were also anxious to know how to distribute it, so the gang monks also attended the meeting. At this time, it happened that Zhang Guolao drove a donkey back from visiting friends in the East, and he was full of dust, hunger, unbearable thirst, and at the same time tired from hard work. From afar, you can smell the strange fragrance overflowing in the Nüshan Temple, which is refreshing and intoxicating.

He then quickened his pace into the temple, and when he saw that there was no one around, he immediately went into the room and opened the pot to see: a pink and tender He Shou Wu had been cooked, like a newborn baby sleeping peacefully there, very cute.

Zhang Guolao was so greedy that he couldn't take care of it, so he grabbed it and divided it and tore it to eat, and in a moment he reimbursed the entire He Shou Wugen by dividing it by two. I felt refreshed and refreshed.

After Zhang Guolao ate and drank enough, he scraped the remaining He Shou Wu soup to the donkey to drink, and then lay down in front of the room to rest and bask in the sun, and soon fell into a sweet sleep.

After the meeting of the monks, they flocked to the house, ready to eat He Shou Wu, and when they entered the room, they saw that the pot was empty and there was nothing. So he concluded that it was Zhang Guo who did it, and immediately reported to the abbot, how can the abbot give up?

After pondering for a moment, he thought that the immortal thing had been eaten by this person, and now the top priority was to kill this person, share his flesh, and also get immortal qi. He then ordered the monk to use sticks and weapons to kill the man. But because of the noisy shouting, Zhang Guolao woke up.

Seeing that the situation was not good, Zhang Guo was on the donkey and fled in panic. He didn't want to ride on the donkey upside down, so he ran away in an open place to the east, but in a panic, the donkey's head was facing west, and he grabbed the donkey's tail with one hand and beat it vigorously on the donkey's ass with the other. However, the more he beat the donkey, the more he ran to the west, and as a result, he ran over the mountain beam to the lake at the head of Shanxi, only to see that the lake was vast and there was no way out.

Seeing that he was about to die, at this critical moment, the donkey monster screamed, the four hooves gave rise to the wind, rose into the air, rode the clouds and fog, crossed the Nushan Lake, and landed on a hill on the opposite bank safely. So Zhang Guolao was a little relieved, sat down to catch his breath, dried the donkey, and then rode the donkey upside down, and went leisurely, and since then he has become an immortal.

If it was in his previous life, He Weitong might not believe this story, but now that even the crossing has happened, maybe in a high-level world, there is really a thing of Zhang Guolao stealing He Shou Wu to become an immortal.

The world he is in is unlikely, because the rank is too low.

But this story also shows that He Shou Wu does have a miraculous effect.

It's just that the role of He Shou Wu in this millennium remains to be discussed.

That Tiandan and this thousand-year-old He Shou Wu, in the legend of Shenhua, are both divine objects that can make people become immortals, how to choose, He Wei was also difficult at the same time.

This thousand-year-old He Shou Wu has become a spirit, without a specific form, it runs to that He Shou Wuli, that is the thousand-year-old He Shou Wu, and it can have the medicinal power of that thousand years.

He Weitong appeared and frightened the He Shou Wu, He Weitong watched the thousand-year-old He Shou Wu keep switching away from the plants, and he didn't step forward, he finally chose Tiandan.

Although the name of He Shou Wu in this millennium is not weaker than Tiandan.

But according to the original play, the medicinal power of this thousand-year-old He Shou Wu was transferred to the Tiandan by the Bailong Dao people with a special ceremony, so it is still more powerful in Tiandan.

If this thousand-year-old He Shou Wu really has the effect of making people soar in the day, then the people of Bailong Dao don't have to go to great lengths to gather the Seven Treasures, and they can eat this He Shou Wu directly.

"There are so many He Shou Wu, which one is it?"

Just as He Weitong was thinking, a female voice suddenly came from the bottom of the mountain.

"I don't know."

This was followed by a burst of male voices.

He Weitong walked through the mountains and forests and saw the foot of the mountain, it was Tang Yunlong and Tianxin, they came to find He Shouwu.

He Weitong did not pass, but turned around and left in another direction.

He Weitong exerted all his strength and quickly returned to his place of residence.

When He Weitong arrived at the courtyard, there was only one breathing sound in the courtyard, which also proved that the figure in the mountains and forests was indeed Tang Yunlong.
