Chapter 429 Underground Medicine Garden

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

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

   In addition to the lake and the fire, what Xu Guangling saw was a lot of vegetation.

   First is a big tree.

   It looks like a cedar tree, but it is also a bit like a pine tree. In short, the genus Pinus is correct, and Xu Guangling's half-toned botanical knowledge can only be located at this stage. The tree is very big, the kind that needs a lot of people to hug, and there is a hollow under it.

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

   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, at the top, there are countless large and small drooping side trees.

   Xu Guangling saw an even more amazing sight after he left this small tree system. The first thing he saw was ginseng.

   A large piece of ginseng!

   Xu Guangling came to Changbai Mountain as the first stop before. In addition to the first herb that Zhang Lao told him was ginseng, Changbai Mountain itself is also a comprehensive wild herb growing place.

   But after coming here, from the beginning to now, Xu Guangling has only discovered three ginseng plants through the eyes of the sky.

   And only one is over a hundred years old, the other two, one is about thirty or fifty years old, and the other is just a seedling, less than ten years.

   He never dreamed that in this underground space, in this underground space where the sun does not see the sun, at least a thousand ginseng plants will grow into a big ginseng garden.

  The eye of the sky extends underground, um, Xu Guangling's ability of the eye of the sky has been slowly progressing, and now it can penetrate more than three meters into the ground. So at this moment, at the bottom of 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 doesn't look like an underground stem at all, but a small stump!

  Even a sweet potato is amazing to grow like this, what’s more, it’s ginseng!

   Xu Guangling was completely stunned.

  How many years has this big ginseng grown underground?

   Five hundred years?

A thousand years?

  Xu Guangling estimated that it would last more than a thousand years.

   In fact, ginseng is known as the first herbal medicine in later generations. In addition to its extraordinary nourishing effect, it should also have something to do with its longevity. ——It's just that the environment is suitable, it won't cause rot or anything, ginseng can grow all the time!

   No one knows how many years its limit is.

  It doesn’t matter if it lasts for thousands of years.

   On the edge of the ginseng garden, Xu Guangling saw several other types of medicinal herbs.

The largest    range is Gastrodia elata.

  It, like ginseng, occupies a large area on the ground and underground.

   After taking a comprehensive look at this large piece of herbal medicine, Xu Guangling determined that this was a medicine garden.

If a ginseng seed fell in by chance, it would have been possible for thousands of years to grow a large ginseng forest. judge.

   So, the conclusion is that this is artificially planted!

After    came to this conclusion, Xu Guangling's heavenly eyes glanced again.

Xu Guangling didn't think that there were still people living in the ground. From the growth of ginseng, gastrodia, and other medicinal herbs, it could be seen at a glance that they had been "wild" for a long time, which was a sign that they had not been taken care of for many, many years. .

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

   Specifically, just the general shape of the hut.

  Several pieces of wood have been completely decayed, and dense mushrooms have grown on them. - The remains of mushrooms.

   Those are mushrooms that were unknown how many years ago. They have decayed and turned into wood, and it is they that barely maintain the general shape of wood. A few other woods "grew" out, multiplying a large area of ​​bushes nearby.

  The field of vision penetrated into this log cabin with thick mottled time, Xu Guangling saw the scattered bones and some wood chips at a glance.

  The wood chips are already very mottled and should not be picked up. It is estimated that they can be turned into powder when the wind blows, but some of the handwritings engraved on them are still recognizable.

   Traditional Chinese characters.

  Xu Guangling can speak 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 he just didn't learn it in detail. If he was just talking about recognition, he could 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 chips one by one.

   is not too difficult.

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

   "Servants of the Song Dynasty."

   This is the beginning.

  During the Song Dynasty, this place seemed to belong to the Jurchen family, right?

   Xu Guangling continued to watch.

  The handwriting on the wood chips is mottled, even directly mottled to the point of missing, but the wood chips are not missing as a whole, and they are in order, so watching all the way, Xu Guangling also has a general understanding of the narrator's body level.

This is a scholar from the Song Dynasty. He passed the exam as a scholar, but he failed the exam many times, so he didn't take the exam. In addition, his family was rich and talented, so he lived happily and peacefully. Later, he married After the wife, it is even more emotional and beautiful.

   But not long after, his wife died of dystocia.

   A happy night turned into misery.

  This person has three brothers, one elder brother and one younger brother, and he didn't care about his parents being unserved, so he was heartbroken and left home to become a monk.

   Then travel with other monks.

   In the process, he learned a hand of medicine.

  Some of the monks who may be in contact with him know medicine, and he may also learn this on his own initiative because of his wife. There is no detailed record on the wood chip about this. Then there is this wandering monk and half-man, from south to north, from east to west, swaying on this land.

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

   turned to the northeast again.

   The words are not clear, and there are several crossovers, but this is not a problem. In that era, first-hand medical skills were the best pass.

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 realm and cured a seriously ill person by accident, and was greatly praised. .

   So he settled here for a while.

  Because there are many medicinal herbs on the mountain, especially, "The thousand-year-old ginseng can be found everywhere, and it is unthinkable in this land."

  Xu Guangling is not sure whether he used exaggeration in this description, and how much exaggeration it has.

   Even at that time, no one digs ginseng in Changbai Mountain, and it makes no sense to have such a large amount of ginseng, right?
