Of course, these are all legends and are not very credible.

There is also a folk theory that is a little more credible, but there is no conclusive evidence to prove it.

This sentence was indeed said by Qianlong, but what the truth is, future generations have no way of knowing.

Legend has it that this sentence came from the Qianlong period, and everyone knows that if animals want to cultivate into essence, they must collect the aura of heaven and earth, absorb the essence of the sun and the moon, and after becoming immortals, they will keep a peaceful party.

Once the Baojia Immortals begged Qianlong Yubi to appoint him to become an immortal, Qianlong also agreed, but a condition was issued, that is, the Baojia Immortal could not cross the Shanhaiguan.

Shanhaiguan is the dividing line between the Central Plains and the northeast, and the Manchurian people entered the customs during the Qing Dynasty to cross the Shanhaiguan Pass and go directly to the customs. It can be seen in feng shui that the entire dragon qi of the Qing Dynasty was in the northeast, so Qianlong made an agreement with Baojiaxian: you can use the dragon qi to become immortals, but you also have to stay in the northeast to protect the dragon qi.

There have always been rumors that the ancestral dragon vein of the Qing Dynasty is in Changbai Mountain, and various feudal dynasties are convinced of the dragon vein, otherwise there would be no real dragon Tianzi.

The immortals of the Baojia family naturally agreed to this request, and became the positive result of the immortal family's cultivation. But it is inseparable from the dragon qi, and when you leave the dragon qi after leaving Shanhaiguan, you will lose all your mana.

Anyway, the Baojia Immortal must practice in the blessed land of the Cave, so it is not an animal that has a seal in the mountains.

"Didn't you already know that the ginseng essence was here to ask for a seal?" I know in my heart, this guy Ye Jibei can be regarded as being honest with us.

"Of course I know, otherwise how would I have let him succeed? Do you know why those mountain seekers who dig ginseng tie red threads to mountain ginseng? Ye Jibei glanced at us a little proudly.

We shook our heads and said we didn't know.

Seeing that he was still playing tricks, I couldn't help but punch him and said don't pretend, hurry up.

Ye Jibei explained.

Wild ginseng is only abundant in Changbai Mountain, and other mountains will also have it, such as Qinling Zhongnan Mountain, which is a famous mountain and river, but it cannot be compared with Changbai Mountain.

Folklore, this thing is the elixir of the big family's life, find a hundred-year-old mountain ginseng, even if the Lord of Yama comes, he will have to live for three more days.

Although it is not so exaggerated, it is enough to see that the mountain ginseng is indeed extraordinary.

Legend has it that thousand-year-old ginseng can transform into a human form.

There are many myths and stories about ginseng circulating in the Northeast,

Some think of him as a magical baby with a red belly pocket,

Or a beautiful girl with a red flower on her head, or a kind white-haired old man.

Either way.

It is all an elf stained with fairy energy, and it cannot be played with at will.

Before digging ginseng, the head of the ginseng (the leader of the ginseng diggers) will lead all the ginseng farmers who enter the mountain to perform a solemn worship ceremony to the mountain god. So who is the mountain god? The people in the mountains have never called the tiger directly, but called it the mountain god, the mountain king, the swineherd, the big claw, and the fine hair.

Legend has it that the tiger is the gate of the mountain god, and people can't see the mountain god, so they call the tiger the mountain god.

This is understandable, because Su Nian is the mountain god of Shennu Mountain, and there is a white-haired tiger under his command, and it is outrageous.

After worshipping the mountain god, the ginseng head took the ginseng farmer up the mountain to pick ginseng, and went for less than ten days, more than a few months, and ate and lived on the mountain.

When picking ginseng, each person holds a rope stick (commonly known as "Solo stick") to cross the grass and press the grass to find ginseng, according to the mountain rules do not say a word, as soon as the ginseng is found, immediately shout: "Stick mallet!" (It is said that if you call a "mallet", the ginseng will be "fixed" and will not run away.)

Then use a red rope to tie the ginseng to the branch, so that the ginseng can be caught. Ginseng will not only run, the language of the ginseng picker is also particular, when digging has to be called the product, if the name is wrong, it will be downgraded, the highest grade of this product is 7 grades, for example, if you find a five-grade ginseng, if you call the product below five, he will become what you call, if the name is higher than five, it will be automatically reduced to four grades. Dare to love ginseng or an official!

Once the ginseng is caught, people have to find a way to hold it in place. Draw a one-meter-square frame on the ground around the ginseng, and insert four people's rope sticks in the four corners. The ginseng farmers lit the artemisia grass to smoke the mosquitoes, while the ginseng heads concentrated on digging the ginseng, carefully digging from the sides to the middle with the deer bones. It was as if a devout believer was walking towards the holy place he longed for, step by step, without a single distraction.

Wait for the ginseng to dig out the head and gently shake the soil, remember to be careful and careful not to hurt any of its whiskers, and finally wrap the ginseng with moss.

In this way, the work of digging ginseng is almost done!

According to a county chronicle, during the Guangxu period, there was a Shandong man named Liang Fa. Liang Fa was very gambling, and as a result, he lost all the acres of land and houses in his family, and he had no choice but to leave his hometown and go to the northeast to dig ginseng. In those days, one had no technology, and the other had no capital, and if you wanted to turn over, in addition to being a robber and thief, there was only one way to dig ginseng.

Digging ginseng is very hard and dangerous, first, ginseng usually grows in the inaccessible mountains, where wild beasts are rampant, and if you are not careful, it will become the ration of wild beasts; The second is that ginseng itself has spirituality, it is said that it will move slowly underground, if you don't use a red rope to tie it, even if you see it, you may not be able to dig it out, so digging ginseng must be in the dead of night, that is, when ginseng is also asleep.

Digging for ginseng is similar to the gold diggers of the past.
