As the proverb goes: The sheep has the grace of kneeling and the crow has the righteousness of feeding

The Jade Emperor's will: Send Tianpeng and other three immortals to the earth, help the poor, subdue demons and eliminate monsters, this is a nominal task, the beautiful name is "the teacher is famous", but in private, the Jade Emperor gave them a difficult and "glorious" task, which is to protect the safety of the princesses who are on vacation and urge them to return to the heavenly palace on time. The Jade Emperor now recalls the love story of the Seven Fairies and Dong Yong, and he has some palpitations, although the plot is beautiful and the ending is happy, but the process is tortuous, exciting and heart-wrenching, and finally because of his own clever calculations, coupled with the authority of the emperor, he effortlessly settled this unheard of, thorny and embarrassing thing in the history of the Heavenly Palace. The past has become a memory, but memories often evoke hidden worries in his heart, this time the matter of protecting the princess behind the back made the queen mother, Dong Yong and others feel like a snake, secretly funny, Tianpeng, Lu Dongbin did not know what to do, seeing that the "number one" entrusted the family affairs to himself, he was extremely excited, saying that he would complete the task successfully and without hesitation, and repay the trust of the Jade Emperor and the Queen Mother with practical actions. After they descended to earth, they landed in the mountains of Buxian, because it was in this place that the five princesses landed. Tianpeng and their three immortals because the appointment date has not arrived, and they do not disturb the peace of the princesses for the time being, on the surface only in the surrounding demons and monsters, help the poor, but secretly order all the mountain gods, land, water lords and other commanders of the headquarters soldiers, increase vigilance, strict vigilance, as soon as there is a disturbance, they will report in time, to protect the safety of the princesses as the first priority, not slack. He and Lu Dongbin and Dong Yong are also single-minded, knowing that with the kung fu of the princesses, ordinary monsters are not their opponents at all, but they still dare not take it lightly in this strange environment, after all, they have been in battle for a long time, and they are careful to make the ship of ten thousand years.

The mood of the five princesses was very different from that of Tianpeng when they were on a mission, and the five princesses were happy and smiling when they went down to earth this time. The vacation is just a pretense, if it is just a simple vacation, then the Jade Emperor will not be extravagant and indulgent to the point of letting their sisters do whatever they want and go wherever they want, which not only violates the rules of heaven, but also violates the rules of the family. Is it easy for one to rule this heavenly palace by oneself without rules? Every immortal has to abide by the rules of heaven, but his family members, in addition to abiding by the rules of heaven, must also abide by the rules of the family, which is called "righteous people first correct themselves", at least nominally. But this time, the princesses have a high-sounding reason, vacation, to enjoy the fresh air of mortal nature, to let go of the depressed mood of the heavenly palace for a long time, and more importantly, to take the opportunity of this vacation to prepare next year's birthday gifts for the queen mother, and to do it themselves, without the help of any divine power, to pick the greenest, most nutritious, and most rare mortal treasures for the mother. This proposal is fresh and unusual, fully expressing the daughters' deep affection for their mothers, and the filial piety is touching. The Queen Mother immediately supported it, and the Jade Emperor had no choice but to push the boat down the river. He is the Emperor of Heaven, the Lord of the Heavenly Palace, but it is difficult to make a difference in family issues, and he is a faithful practitioner of "good men do not fight with women", the minority obeys the majority, in such a family atmosphere, what can he do?

In this way, after careful preparation, many arguments, and disguises, the five princesses landed in the salty mountainous area rich in natural products.

When I first saw the primeval forest in the mortal world, I was shocked and incomparable. Looking at its state from afar, it is gloomy and blue, if the black clouds cross the sky, dozens of miles, there is no cliff stream. When entering the forest, the canopy of the tree is the head, covering the sky and not distinguishing things. Thousand-year-old trees, hundred-year-old vines, strange and strange, striving for "strong" and "winning", if the dragon crosses the stream, it is like a big snake swimming. The white is said to be sunny, the tiger and wolf jump over the beam, the elk is soaring, the leaves are deep, and the stream is murmuring, which is suspected to be in the ancient world. Ten thousand birds sing low, the insects chant shallowly, the mountain wind wanders, and the strange rocks are grandiose, such as a fantasy in a dream.

After all, the eyes were opened, and the five princesses were overjoyed, and rushed into the forest, raising their legs high, landing lightly, carefully avoiding the grass, thorns, gravel, and dead wood, and looking around, as if hungry and thirsty, there were all kinds of wild fruits that could not be picked to satisfy their hunger; When resting or sleeping, find a cave at will, open the hole specially borrowed from the Tota Heavenly King of the pocket version of the net, you can be safe and worry-free, 100 meters away, the demons and monsters flee from the wind, the cow ghosts and snakes hide their whereabouts, and the magic is incomparable.

However, actions with enthusiasm and no results are often anticlimactic and lack a long-term mechanism. As soon as the freshness passed, coupled with a few days of trekking through mountains and rivers, sweating, tired and out of breath, but nothing was gained, empty-handed, which made the self-esteem of the five princesses unprecedentedly hit, the pace of progress became hesitant, and a very realistic problem was in front of you, in the case that you just heard and did not see it with your own eyes, the blind search all over the mountains, if it does not contain the fluke factor, the probability of success can be geometric?

Among the five princesses, the eldest princess is more old-fashioned, and when she saw that the other four sisters were waiting for her to make up her mind, her heart was hot, and she thought: It's better to be the eldest daughter, and she inadvertently found an opportunity to be the master. As soon as he was happy, he habitually took up the shelf of "decision-maker", weighed the words and sentences, and said while thinking: "The mountain is not high, and there is a fairy name." The water is not deep, and if there is a dragon, it will be spiritual. The mountains and rivers here are clear, the stones are beautiful and the trees are beautiful, the grass is still around, and the fragrance of flowers strikes people, which is a good place for treasures to hide. It's just that we haven't met the treasure, even if we don't know its true face face to face, and we can't eat hot bean porridge in a hurry, I think, let's find a nearby inhabited village, observe for a few days, and ask a good guide to lead us to the treasure hunt, wouldn't it be twice the result with half the effort?"

The second princess said: "The first few sentences are verbose, nonsense, and the last few sentences are pasted upside down." The third princess said, "The eldest sister just has an idea, if not, my mother can't rest assured that you will bring us." ”

The fourth princess said: "The second sister speaks reasonably, and the barren mountains and wilderness are not lyrical and romantic places. ”

The fifth princess said: "The four sisters don't raise the bar, let's raise our hands to vote!"

The voting result was unanimously adopted. The eldest princess was triumphant: "How about it? Drink a few more years of Tianhe water than you, and you will have more experience than you! The idea is mine, so you have to listen to me!" She also ignored the strange gaze of the second princess, pretended to be calm, pretended to observe the surrounding environment for a while, and then confidently led everyone to walk in the direction of the water flow. Sure enough, not far away, I saw a small village with a human settlement in front of me, with smoke curling, few people, roosters and dogs barking, warm and quiet. The eldest princess boasted to her sisters proudly: "This cowhide is really not blown, and if you don't listen to the old man, you will suffer in front of you; Let's set up camp here, find a kind person as a guide, and success will not be far from us. Everyone nodded yes, and they wandered around the village during the day, busily searching. As expected, a few days later, their actions aroused the curiosity of the villagers, who pointed and discussed, and their eyes were full of curiosity and pity. Also, such five flower-like, beautiful girls show their heads, wander in the mountains, the wind blows, helpless, in the eyes of the simple and kind villagers, in any case is a fresh and strange and confusing thing, after all, the folk have adhered to the traditional norms for thousands of years, who is not to the point of exhaustion, will let their baby daughter suffer from this?

The five princesses pretended not to know, the fairies were talented and intelligent, and it was difficult to distinguish between the real and the fake in acting, coupled with their ragged clothes and sad faces, which made the villagers more and more convinced: These five girls have something unspeakable?

At last the long-awaited scene of the princesses appeared, and a young man could not bear it any longer, and volunteered to go out of the village and come to the princesses, with an eager expression on his face, and asked the princesses with concern what had happened to them, and what had come here to look for.

The eldest princess's face was sad and miserable, and her words were like weeping and complaining, and she wanted to stop talking, telling the young man a poignant and comparable story of "Twelve Filial Piety" that had been arranged for thousands of years. The storyline is nothing more than that: the loving mother will celebrate her 80th birthday, the family is destitute, the five daughters are anxious, they don't know how to express their hearts, repay their mother's nurturing kindness, and after being guided, they know that there are rare treasures in the Buxian Mountain, as long as they are sincere and strong, they are all over the Buxian Mountains, and they are not afraid of wolves, insects, tigers and leopards, that is, they can recover the rare treasures and dedicate them to their mothers as birthday gifts, in order to show their daughter's innocence.

The young man told this story to everyone, and the villagers sighed. There is an ancient poem that says: Who has seen the filial sons and daughters? Today is an eye-opener, and the most filial sons and daughters are right in front of them! The old people were full of tears, and regarded this story as a classic, and told it to their children and grandchildren over and over again. The eldest brothers, sisters-in-law, eldest girls and younger daughters-in-law are not to be outdone, they don't say anything, they secretly work hard, and take more practical actions to take care of the lives of the elderly. The young man who brought the story back to the village was even more enthusiastic, passionate, fully armed, and determined to overcome all difficulties and help five girls in a foreign land fulfill their wish to make a birthday for their mother.

The five princesses have already learned through the local land that the young man's name is Ji Han, the hunter of this village, his parents died when he was a child, and his only sister has long been married. At this moment, Ji Han volunteered, and the princesses were in the arms, and after some politeness, the princesses were very grateful, Ji Han was full of ambition, and the six people were ready to stop, lined up in a word "long snake formation", and walked towards the depths of the mountain.

The first said, came to a stone under the rock, is climbing, suddenly saw a white cloud floating on the top of the stone, the clouds are deep, the momentum is fierce, in the blink of an eye has floated to the bottom of the stone, is at a loss, the cloud has spread out, surging and rushing, permeating the four directions, instantaneous, the same color of heaven and earth, like a big cage, everyone is wrapped in white mist. In the fog, Ji Han shouted loudly: "Don't panic, don't move in place, this is the mountain god scaring us, there must be a treasure nearby!"

The third princess muttered hatefully: "This is a clear bully of my aunt and grandmother to be weak and bulliful, when Ming Yu returns to the Heavenly Palace, I have to call Brother Yang Jian to clean him up!"

The second princess covered her lips with her hand, "shhhhh Blindly being strong is the beginning of failure. Bear with it, the strong dragon does not suppress the head snake. ”

In the mist, Ji Han's low voice came: "Don't speak, it's not fun to provoke the mountain god, his old man is angry, there are good fruits to eat from you!"

In desperation, everyone had to hold their breath in the fog and remain silent. After a quarter of an hour, the fog gradually cleared, and the princesses could not help cheering when they saw the green trees and blue sky again. Suddenly, Ji Han pointed his fingers at the wall, and shouted: "Ganoderma lucidum!" Everyone took advantage of the situation to look, only to see that in the middle of the wall, there was a fungus slim and slim, with a kidney shape on the fungus cover, reddish-brown, and dazzling. The fifth princess clapped her hands and jumped up excitedly: "I saw it first, I found the Ganoderma lucidum grass for my mother!"

Ji Han said, "You wait, I'll go and take it off." "Flying on the body, such as walking on the ground, before you can see clearly, has been the Ganoderma lucidum from the crack of the pipe, held in the palm of the hand, turned back, a "Dapeng spread its wings", in the exclamation of the princesses, the person has fallen to the ground lightly.

The second princess exclaimed: "Brother Ji, your skills are even more amazing than that of immortals. ”

Ji Han blushed, and said humbly: "We people in the mountains take the mountains as our home, hunting, collecting medicine, crossing mountains and mountains, wading through rivers and rivers, not walking around the mountains for a day, and sleeping peacefully. Practice makes perfect, and after a long time, I naturally practiced this skill. ”

The fifth princess held the lingzhi on her chest, looked at it repeatedly, and couldn't put it down.

Ji Han said: "Ganoderma lucidum, curing all diseases, its function is fulfilled, and it has a miraculous effect, so it is called Ganoderma lucidum, also known as 'immortal grass'." ”

The fifth princess said unconvinced: "Of course I know, if it is an ordinary mushroom, what do I want it to do? Spiritual creatures have their own magical powers, you listen, I will read you a poem!" As she spoke, her lips opened lightly and she chanted a poem, "In the past, I picked leaves and looked for branches, and walked all over the mountain tops and waters. Today, Huayang personally recommended it, and the jade seedling fairy grass reflects the Ganoderma lucidum. ”

Everyone looked at each other and laughed, and she played coquettishly.

When looking for the next day, everyone struggled to climb a mountain, just at the top of the mountain, Ji Han signaled everyone to stop, and then turned around, found three bluestones, built a small temple, planted grass for incense, turned around and called the five princesses to kneel down together, and bowed to the temple with him, chanting words in his mouth, praying for blessings. Stand up, untie the backpack, take out the red thread, each person wears several pieces, the end of the rope is tied with copper coins, a rope stick, down to the shady slope, thorns and weeds and staggering. The shady slope stretches slowly downward, and there are countless black pine, tabuliformis pine, linden tree, oak tree, locust tree, water meander, etc., all kinds of trees are shoulder to shoulder, squeezing and rubbing, you compete with me, do not give in to each other, obscuring the sun, but flashing out of the way, so that the mountain wind can walk through the forest without scruples. There are only dappled lights and shadows in the forest, which is dark and deep. The air was so humid that if you grabbed a handful, it seemed like you could wring out water. The feet are soft, covered with a thick layer of dead branches and leaves, a little force, the shoes will sink deep into the loose and fertile black soil, this black soil exudes a strange fragrance, hold it in the palm of your hand, a force, between the fingers will flow out of the black bright "oil".

The three princesses bent down and bowed their heads, pulled out the pine branches that blocked the way with their hands, and saw that under an old tree in front of them, there was a green straight stem, about two and a half feet high, the leaves were densely packed, there were as many as thirty pieces, the impellers were whorls, the upper leaves were large, the lower leaves were small, oval, the serrated edges, the leaf surface was dark green, the leaf back was light green, the umbel inflorescence was solitary at the end of the stem, bearing bright red berries, bright and dripping, so that people could see it at first sight and salivate.

The third princess exclaimed in surprise: "Come and see, Hong (red) luck is the head, what a cute grass!"

Ji Han heard the sound from the bushes next to him, looked at it, and screamed: "Bang mallet!"

The third princess was ecstatic and carried away, forgetting that she was in the dense forest at this time, and wanted to stand up, all the way to her waist, the top of her head was colliding with a thick branch, and the huge reaction force caught her off guard, "Mom" screamed, sat on the ground with a buttocks, her eyes were golden, and tears flowed down in pain. The second princess was shocked, stabbed the cat in her waist, crawled over with a rolling belt, helped the third sister up, checked up and down several times, and saw that the third sister was uninjured and in danger, so she comforted softly: "Good third sister, a good woman pays attention to 'don't look back and don't lift your teeth', you see, you are happy and sad, and you have angered Master Kong, haven't you?"

Ji Han tiptoed to the side of the "mallet", first selected two branches nearby, inserted them on both sides of the "mallet" and put them on the beams to prevent it from escaping, and then carefully took out a red rope with copper coins tied to both ends from the pocket of his underwear, gently but tightly wrapped the beam around the green straight stem, and kowtowed to the ground to thank the mountain god. He took out a piece of oilcloth from the rucksack and spread it on the ground, and then took out a "Kuaida" stick made of bamboo chips from the rucksack, and knelt on the tarpaulin, holding his breath, his face was solemn, his eyes were not squinting, his eyebrows were deeply locked, he leaned down, his left hand gently brushed away the dead branches and leaves around the "mallet", and with his right hand, he concentrated on exploring in the soil, and slowly "rescued" the roots of the "mallet" from the shackles of the soil.

The five princesses don't know why, you look at me, I look at you, my eyes are wide and my eyes are small, and my heart is raised. None of the sisters dared to squeak, for fear of scaring away the "ginseng baby".

After a long time, Ji Han raised his head, exhaled lightly, wiped the sweat from his forehead with his sleeves, put his hands together, and chanted the words: "God bless, God bless!

The five princesses rushed forward and saw the unearthed "mallet" lying quietly on the oilcloth, the roots were hypertrophied, about a foot long, as thick as a baby's legs and wrists, the skin was slightly yellow, shaped like a spindle, often forked, and the whole appearance was quite similar to a human head, hands and feet.

The third princess seemed to have realized: "It lives up to its name, no wonder people call it 'ginseng'!"

Ji Han pointed to the dense bowl-shaped pits on the surface of the round reed at the upper end of the ginseng taproot and said: "This is the scar left by the withering and falling off of the ginseng leaves and stems over the years, one pit a year." There are a thousand such small pits on this reed head, which is a genuine thousand-year-old ginseng; this kind of reed head is called 'plum blossom reed', which is the best among ginseng. As he spoke, he pulled out a sharp dagger from his waist, and used the kung fu of curing the cow on a hundred-year-old birch tree beside him, and after a while, a complete birch bark was held in his hand; he took off the moss at the root of the old tree, spread it evenly on the bark, picked up the old ginseng with both hands, and gently placed it on the soft moss, "combed" it, closed the bark, wrapped it with rattan, handed it to the third princess, and said, "Ginseng has the ability to replenish the five organs, calm the spirit, calm the soul, stop palpitations, and remove evil spirits. The miraculous effect of bright eyes and happy puzzles, when taken regularly, can strengthen the body and prolong life. Millennial ginseng, a rare treasure, a well-deserved birthday for the old mother!"
