Chapter 429 The Underground Medicine Garden

A small lake is located in the corner of this space, and the lake is still steaming.

Close to the lake, or even at the corner of the lake, a dark red "earth fire" is burning quietly, that is, it lights up this space.

Apart from the lake and the ground fire, what Xu Guangling saw was a lot of vegetation.

The first is a big tree.

It looks like a cedar tree, but it also looks a bit like a pine tree. In short, the genus Pinus is correct, and Xu Guangling's botanical knowledge can only be positioned so far that he can't even talk about it.The tree is very big, the kind that needs to be embraced by many people, and there is a hollow underneath.

It grows from the ground, and grows up to a height of more than 20 meters. It can no longer go up. It is covered with thick soil and rocks, so the big tree grows sideways.

It grows on the side, takes root on the top, and then grows downside down.

So what Xu Guangling sees now is very novel.

A big tree, on the top, are countless large and small lateral trees that grow upside down.

After Xu Guangling's vision left this small tree system, he saw an even more astonishing sight. The first thing he saw was ginseng.

Big slices of ginseng!

Xu Guangling came to Changbai Mountain for the first time before, not only that the first herb Zhang Lao told him was ginseng, but also because Changbai Mountain itself is also a comprehensive place where wild herbs grow.

But after coming here, from the beginning till now, Xu Guangling only found three ginseng plants through his eyes.

And there is only one plant that is more than a hundred years old, the other two plants are about three to fifty years old, and the other is just a seedling, less than ten years old.

But he never dreamed that in this underground space, in this dark underground space, at least a thousand ginseng plants have grown into a large ginseng garden.

The sky eye extends underground. Well, Xu Guangling's sky eye ability has been slowly developing, and now it can penetrate more than three meters underground.So at this moment, under this big ginseng garden, Xu Guangling saw a scene that shocked him extremely.

There are many large ginsengs, the largest one has a diameter of more than 20 centimeters!

So it seems that it doesn't look like an underground stem at all, but a small tree stump!

Even if it's a sweet potato, it's amazing to grow like this, not to mention, it's ginseng!

Xu Guangling was completely stunned.

How many years has such a large ginseng grown underground?

500 years?

1000 years?

Xu Guangling estimates that it will last more than 1000 years.

In fact, ginseng is known as the number one herbal medicine in later generations. In addition to its extraordinary nourishing effect, it should also have a little relationship with its lifespan. ——It’s just that the environment is suitable, and it won’t cause rot. Ginseng can grow forever!

No one knows how many years its limit is.

Anyway, it's not a big deal for thousands of years.

On the edge of the ginseng garden, Xu Guangling saw many other kinds of medicinal herbs.

The largest range is Gastrodia elata.

Like ginseng, it occupies a large area above ground and underground.

After surveying the whole area of ​​herbs, Xu Guangling confirmed that it was a medicine garden.

If a ginseng seed fell in from the outside by chance, it would have been possible to breed a large ginseng forest in the past thousands of years, but ginseng, Gastrodia elata and other medicinal herbs grew together, so Xu Guangling dismissed this idea. judge.

Therefore, the conclusion is that this is artificially planted!

After reaching this conclusion, Xu Guangling's sky eyes scanned again.

Xu Guangling doesn't think that there are still people living in the underground. From the growth of ginseng, Gastrodia elata and other herbs, it can be seen at a glance that they have been "wild" for a long time, which is a sign that no one has taken care of them for many, many years. .

The next moment, Xu Guangling found a wooden hut in another corner of this space, which was also the place farthest from the upper hole.

Specifically, just the general shape of the cabin.

Several logs have been completely decayed, with dense mushrooms growing on them. —The remains of mushrooms.

Those were the mushrooms who did not know how many years ago, they had decayed and turned into wood, and it was they who barely kept the general shape of wood.A few other logs "grow" out, and a large bush grows nearby.

The field of vision penetrated into this small wooden house mottled with thick years, and Xu Guangling saw scattered bones and some wood chips at a glance.

The wood chips were already very mottled, so they shouldn't be picked up, and they might be turned into powder by the wind, but some of the writings carved on them can still be read.

traditional characters.

Xu Guangling knows several foreign languages, but he is not very familiar with traditional Chinese characters.

He didn't realize the problem until this time, so he was very ashamed.

But it's just that he hasn't learned it in detail. If it's just about recognition, he can recognize at least half of the traditional characters.

At this time, with mottled handwriting and unfamiliar traditional characters, Xu Guangling recognized the descriptions on the wood chip one by one.

It's not too difficult.

After all, this is not a precise and exquisite thing that cannot be omitted, but a description of the life of the herb garden and the owner of the log cabin, and it is specially written for latecomers!

"The servant of the Song Dynasty was also a man."

This is the beginning.

In the Song Dynasty, this place seemed to belong to the Jurchen tribe, right?

Xu Guangling continued to read.

The handwriting on the wood chip was mottled, even directly mottled to missing, but the wood chip was not missing as a whole, and it was in order, so looking all the way, Xu Guangling had a general understanding of the narrator's profile.

He was a scholar from the Song Dynasty. He passed the examination as a scholar, but he failed the examination repeatedly, so he gave up the examination. In addition, his family was rich in talent, so he lived a happy and comfortable life. Later, he married After the wife, it is even more emotional and beautiful.

But not long after, his wife died because of dystocia.

Happiness turned to misery overnight.

This person is three brothers, there is an elder brother and a younger brother, regardless of his parents and no one to serve him, so he left home to become a monk because of his heartbroken heart.

Then travel with other monks.

In the process, he learned a lot of medical skills.

It is possible that some of the monks he came into contact with are medical practitioners, and he may have taken the initiative to learn this because of his wife. There is no detailed record on this point in the wood chips.Then there is this wandering monk and half-doctor, wandering in this land from south to north, from east to west.

Later, he even wandered out of the customs and went to the grassland.

And tossed to the northeast.

I couldn't understand the words, and crossed the border several times, but this was not a problem.In that era, knowing first-hand medical skills was the best passport.

The owner of the wood chip described his medical skills as "superficial skills", but he was treated as a "guru". Later, he came to this Liaodong area, cured a seriously ill patient by accident, and was greatly respected .

So he settled here for a while.

Because there are many medicinal materials on the mountain, especially, "thousand-year-old ginseng can be found everywhere, and the earth here dare not think about it."

Xu Guangling wasn't sure if he used exaggeration in his description, and how exaggerated it was.

Even at that time, no one was digging up the ginseng in Changbai Mountain, so there was no reason why there were so many ginseng, right?
