Chapter Forty-Eight: Ten Thousand Years of Joining the King
The next day, Li Xuan landed at the mouth of the Green River in Liao Province, sent two whales back, and then walked home alone.
Li Xuan walked up the Green River and gradually walked into the Baishan area.
Hakusan is the first mountain in Kanto with the same name as the Five Mountains, with beautiful scenery and charming scenery. It is said that the main peak of Hakusan, Mt. Baekdu, has a lot of white pumice stones and snow, and the entire summit is white from a distance.
Guyu Village, where Li Xuan's house is located, is near the remnants of this mountain range, and as long as you walk north along the mountain range, you can reach home.
Originally, Li Xuan could also choose to take the train home. It's just that the third layer of the Xuanhuang Linglong Pagoda needs to collect a lot of plants, and the Baishan Mountain Range is the largest mountain range in the northeast of China, and the plant species are very rich.
Li Xuan's rare appearance was once, and he decided to collect more plants by the way when he went home to help the Heaven and Earth Xuanhuang Linglong Pagoda be restored as soon as possible.
Walking into Baishan, what Li Xuan was greeted with was a kind of majesty and broadness. Baishan is composed of multiple northeast-southwest parallel folded fault mountains, basins and valleys. There is a fissure zone about 100 miles long, forming an extremely spectacular Grand Canyon.
There is a dense forest growing in the canyon, the trees are straight and thick, due to the low temperature and humidity on the valley, the old forest is full of old white silk, moss, mushrooms, quietly spreading colors.
The two sides of the canyon, especially the valley slopes on both sides of the bottom river are unusually steep, the ice edge rock pillars in the canyon have been eroded by the wind and rain of the years, forming a colorful, majestic and magnificent natural landscape, the shape of the lava rock forest is even more varied, the mountain peaks and rocks are lifelike, the demeanor is different, and the magic of nature is refreshing.
In the mountains with towering ancient trees, fish jumping frogs, rare birds and beasts, herbs and traditional Chinese medicine, strange stones stand in a forest, flowing springs and flying songs, creating a beautiful and natural fairyland.
The ecology here is primitive, there are many species, Li Xuan is busy while enjoying the beautiful scenery while collecting various plants.
In particular, there are enough herbs in this white mountain, such as Ganoderma lucidum, brown birch fungus, pine pollen, holly, willow bag, elm fungus, white fungus, elm yellow, gastrodia, fritillary, banlan root, Aracea, gentian, asarium, eleutherococcus, Bupleurum, epimedium weed, Angelica angelica, yam and so on, as many as hundreds.
There are many medicinal materials that Li Xuan doesn't know at all, but the third layer of the Xuanhuang Merit Recipe he cultivates, "Shengde Zaimu", has the function of identifying medicinal properties, although he doesn't know it, he knows what it is for.
As long as he feels that it is useful, Li Xuan will collect it in the pagoda, and he will also collect some species that are useless but not in the pagoda, anyway, there is a lot of space in the third layer of the pagoda. With a lot of plants being brought in, it seems that the area has expanded a lot.
In the old forest of Baishan, there are still hundred-year-old Ganoderma lucidum on some old red pines, Ganoderma lucidum has red skin, which may be the reason why the years are too long, some actually grow to the size of a washbasin, white clouds are floating in the forest, Ganoderma lucidum is like a red sun, showing its face in the clouds. They are all a pair of pairs, with two roots, fan-shaped, and there are various kinds of Ganoderma lucidum such as Yunzhi, wood Ganoderma lucidum, grass Ganoderma lucidum, etc., and the healing functions are also different.
Li Xuan became happier and happier as he walked in the White Mountain, turning around, turning around, and looking down, there was medicine everywhere, which was really enjoyable.
Suddenly, the Heaven and Earth Xuanhuang Linglong Pagoda flew out from Li Xuan's upper dantian and flew straight to a hillside in the northeast.
"This must be another treasure!" Li Xuan hurriedly ran over with the pagoda.
The area around this hillside is very steep, and Li Xuan uses both hands and feet, jumping vertically, and is more agile than a monkey. It took a lot of effort to get to this hillside. If you are an ordinary person, it is really difficult to climb up.
When he got to the top, Li Xuan found that the hillside was relatively flat, with mixed trees, and a large area of green plants growing under the trees, with leaves like a child's palm, with small green flowers.
The leaves and flowers of these plants resemble the shape of ginseng. Li Xuan remembered that his grandfather once told him that the most precious medicinal material in Baishan is called ginseng, which is the head of the famous "Three Treasures of Northeast China", known as the "King of Herbs", and is a famous tonic. Especially after a serious illness or long-term illness, when the vitality is seriously injured, the effect of using ginseng is particularly good, and it is the first important medicine for the treatment of internal injuries due to fatigue.
Li Xuan traveled all the way, and collected a lot of medicinal materials, even Ganoderma lucidum, but he had never found this wild ginseng.
It is said that ginseng is a plant that can walk underground, and when digging it is carefully rounded up to prevent it from escaping. Grandpa also told Li Xuan the story of a ginseng.
Once upon a time, there lived an old man in the White Mountain, and he had a son who often went in and out of the mountains to play by himself. One day, the son came back and told his father, "It's strange that there is a little chubby boy in a red bag in the mountains who always plays with him." ”
The father told his son, "That little child may be a ginseng, let your son carry a needle, wear a red thread, and don't put it in the pocket of the little fat child, if the ginseng can't run!"
When his son met the little fat boy again in the mountains, he pinned the needle to his pocket, and sure enough, a ginseng tree appeared in front of his eyes. But this child had already played with this ginseng baby, and he couldn't bear to catch it, so he let the ginseng baby go again. Since then, the baby ginseng and this kid have become good friends. When the boy's father was seriously ill and dying, the ginseng baby reluctantly plucked one of his own roots and gave it to the boy, saving his father's life.
Therefore, once someone finds ginseng, they must tie it to the stem of the ginseng with a red thread prepared in advance, so that the ginseng will not be able to run. Li Xuan did not have a red thread in his hands, but the Heaven and Earth Xuanhuang Linglong Pagoda was the first merit treasure of the day after tomorrow, and he could receive whatever he wanted.
Li Xuan was just about to step forward to dig ginseng, but suddenly there was a movement in the ginseng bush, and the middle bush actually wanted to drill into the ground.
He hurriedly sacrificed the Xuanhuang Linglong Pagoda of Heaven and Earth, only to see that the pagoda emitted a piece of golden light, which fixed this piece of ginseng and directly included it in the third layer of space. At this time, the pagoda fed back a piece of information to Li Xuan, and found that one of the ten thousand years of ginseng king, six thousand years of ginseng, one hundred and twenty hundred years of ginseng, and a number of more than ten years of ginseng, planted in the third layer of space is conducive to the restoration of the pagoda. Ten thousand years into the essence of the ginseng king can be used as the third layer of the tower protector general.
"I used to hear that thousand-year-old ginseng can become essence, but this time there is actually a 10,000-year-old ginseng king, which has never been seen before, is it really like a ginseng doll in the story. Li Xuan hurriedly ran to the third layer of the pagoda, only to see that the piece of ginseng had been moved to the middle, and the largest one in the middle was actually as thick as its own arm, with all five elements, a beautiful body, and roots more than two meters long, which really looked like a child.
There are a few ginseng plants next to it, ranging in thickness, but they have to be about a pound to look at. There is a local saying in the Northeast called "seven taels are ginseng, eight taels are treasures", and there are several ginseng plants that have reached the level of ginseng treasure.
Li Xuan walked forward and reached out to touch the ginseng king. The ginseng plant turned into a little white-bearded old man more than a foot tall, and ducked back, babbling like a child to speak.
This scared Li Xuan by surprise. "Don't they all say that ginseng is a doll after it becomes a sperm, how did this become a white-bearded old man? However, this little old man looks white and chubby, quite cute. ”
"Don't be afraid, I won't eat you, just see how heavy you are. "This time, this Samwang really didn't hide anymore, Li Xuan picked it up with both hands and weighed it, it actually weighed four catties, which is really about to catch up with a child's weight.
With so much ginseng, planted in his own pagoda space, plus those medicinal materials collected before, he can directly open a medicine garden.
