Chapter 105 Six-leaf wild ginseng (Part 2)
Ginseng is a compound leaf with three small leaves per year, called "Three Flowers"; a five small leaves and complex leaves per year, called "Slap"; a two-year-old five-leaf complex leaves per year, called "Erjiazi", and ginseng can only bloom and bear fruit in three years; a three-year-old ginseng has three complex leaves per year, called "Lingtaizi", and a four-year-old ginseng has four complex leaves per year, called "Fourth-grade leaves"; a six-year-old ginseng has five complex leaves per year, called "Fifth-grade leaves". There are also six complex leaves per year, called "Sixth-grade leaves". After the ginseng grows for six years, the number of leaves does not change again.
A while ago, Yu Daiyan listened to Zhou Tiansheng's suggestion and wanted to use the "power of transformation" to catalyze wild elixirs to greatly increase their medicinal power. In the process of finding wild elixirs, he was almost taken away by Wan Xin.
Zhang Sanfeng was very scared at that time, but after hearing what he thought, he became interested.
However, there have been people in Wudang Mountain. Any wild ginseng that is of sufficient age has been collected. The remaining are small ginseng that have not grown mature for two years, and it is not very useful. Even with the strength of Zhang Zhenren's foot, he searched all over the mountain and found only 30 or 50 small ginseng, one of which is a sixth-grade leaf, four fifth-grade leaf, and twelve fourth-grade leaf, and the rest are small ginseng that does not have even the fourth-grade leaf.
Zhenren Zhang didn't know how effective the power of transformation was on ginseng, nor did he know if it would have any negative impact. He didn't dare to be careless, so he just took the "lantern table", "slap", and "three flowers" and used the "power of transformation".
His true energy is extremely thick, and the "power of transformation" is like boiled water. Each ginseng is poured until it can no longer be absorbed. He also came up with some insights: the "Three Flowers" have the shortest ginseng age, and the least transformation power is absorbed when it is absorbed to saturation, followed by "slap" and the "lantern" is the most.
Then he became the boss and did something else mysteriously. During this process, he threw it to Zhou Tiansheng and a few Taoist boys to observe.
The "three flowers" are handed over to the breeze and the bright moon; the "slap" is handed over to Lingxiao and the idle clouds; the "lantern table" is handed over to Zhou Tiansheng.
The mountain is rugged and the journey is difficult. Zhou Tiansheng just got two robbers. Although their meaning is still unclear, he can always know what changes the leaves have. The reason why he only looks at leaves is because of the ginseng in this day and no reed heads or reed bowls are useful, and the leaves are the most obvious.
Zhou Tiansheng could not raise them for nothing, so he sent them to report the growth progress of the little ginseng every half day, and drove away the wild beasts to prevent the little ginseng from being eaten by the wild beasts. It was strange that the ginseng seemed to be digesting the power of metamorphosis in the first three days, and there was no obvious reaction. On the fourth day, a compound leaf suddenly grew and became a fourth-grade leaf. Then it became uncontrollable. Another piece grew on the fifth day. On the sixth day, that is, today, another piece was added. Zhou Tiansheng couldn't wait to see it, because the ginseng of the sixth-grade leaf could be eaten!
When he arrived with Zhou Zhiruo, he saw Zhang Sanfeng squatting on the ground and fiddling with the little ginseng intently.
Hearing the footsteps, Zhang Sanfeng turned his head and said, "Tiansheng, Zhiruo, are you two here?"
"Master Tai, how effective is this ginseng?" Zhou Tiansheng asked straight to the point.
"Wait, wait for Dai Yan to come, let's talk about it." Zhang Sanfeng turned around and fiddled with the leaves and the little red fruit of the little ginseng. "It's born, when will this ginseng fruit be born? There shouldn't be this season? Oh, that's right. If you follow the season, what will the power of transformation do? Tell me, what are the abnormalities of this ginseng these days."
Zhou Tiansheng has been practicing the power of the Great Vajra these days, so he didn't have time to come to check the growth of ginseng. He had to answer according to Hegel and Shuang Yatou: "Master, there was no movement in the first three days of this little ginseng. Then a leaf grew the day before yesterday, a piece of it grew yesterday, and this piece just grew today."
"What about other things? For example, when did these little red ginseng fruits grow?" Zhang Sanfeng asked afterwards.
Zhou Tiansheng scratched his head, "I really didn't pay attention to this."
Zhang Sanfeng said angrily: "You must be lazy again, so you asked your two strange birds to come for you, right?"
Zhou Tiansheng was reluctant to answer, and was seen through by the Grand Master again...
"Daiyan, are you here?" Zhang Sanfeng asked without looking back when he heard the steps behind him.
"Yes, Master." Yu Daiyan sat on the soft couch and bowed, without any slightest expression. It seemed that the bone injury had recovered well.
Then Qingfeng and Mingyue held his arm and slowly walked to the small ginseng. Qingfeng handed over a small stool, Yu Daiyan sat down, and looked at the ginseng for a long time.
"Daiyan, what do you think?" Zhang Sanfeng asked. Among these people, he and Yu Daiyan had the ability to identify others' attention.
"It seems that it is no different from ordinary six-leaf ginseng, but just looking at the leaves above, the fruit doesn't seem to be able to see anything. Master might as well take it out and look at the stems and beards." Yu Daiyan said.
Zhang Sanfeng pressed the ground with one palm, and the yellow air was misty on the ground. The soil retreated from the ginseng like a tide, revealing a ginseng rhizome as big as a child's palm. It looked withered and dim. When the soil retreated again, the entire ginseng plant was exposed without any damage.
"Huh? Why is this thorn so long?" Zhang Sanfeng and Yu Daiyan said suspiciously at the same time.
The stems of this ginseng plant are no different from ordinary ginseng, but the roots are nearly twice as many as those of ordinary ginseng, and the length is almost twice as long, which surprised the two of them.
"From looking at the appearance, it's a good ginseng, quite like those wild ginseng that have grown old, but this thorn is a little different, and there are no pearl dots." Yu Daiyan said.
Ginseng is not the best for full shape and bright color. On the contrary, the less starch content in wild ginseng, the more like dead roots of the ginseng, the better the effect of using the medicine. Most of the ginseng with full shape and bright color and looks like white radish has extremely high starch content and is no different from potatoes. If the medicine is effective, I can only laugh.
"Well, think about it, my teacher." Zhang Sanfeng gently stroked the stems and ginseng beards and said carefully: "I have some ideas. Ginseng is nourished by the power of transformation and growth in a short period of time, which will inevitably absorb all the nutrients in the surrounding soil, so it has to absorb nutrients from further away, so this root is extremely long.
The pearl dots on the ginseng roots you mentioned in Daiyan are the old ginseng growing underground, the roots rot, and the scars left on the ginseng beards. The ginseng pickers have named it the pearl dots. This ginseng plant grows five or six years in five or six years in the process of growing ginseng in seven days, so the ginseng naturally does not rot as much as it is, so its roots appear to be more common."
"What the master said is very reasonable." Yu Daiyan pondered Zhang Sanfeng's words, and the middle reason was very clear, and he couldn't find any mistakes. He thought about it and said, "If you don't taste the effect of this ginseng, you will not understand it after all. How about letting your disciple try it?"
Zhang Sanfeng pinched off two small pieces of ginseng, then buckled two small pieces from the stem with his fingernail, gave one to Yu Daiyan, and tried the other one by himself.
The two closed their eyes and sucked for a moment, and opened their eyes at the same time, showing joy, "This ginseng is comparable to the wild ginseng that has been in ordinary ten years!"
Zhang Sanfeng suddenly smiled and said, "If you want to try the true efficacy of this catalytic ginseng, it depends on the natural effect."
He took out the ginseng and handed it to Zhou Tiansheng, saying, "Tiansheng, you can eat the whole plant, let Master Tai and Master see how the effect is."
"What? Eat all? Master, if you eat this whole thing, you will die if you eat it!" Zhou Tiansheng was so shocked that he could stuff a fist with his mouth wide open, his eyes widened, and he said in disbelief.
He once heard people who soak ginseng wine say that it is okay to drink ginseng wine for two or three ounces. If you drink more, you will feel that you are both burned and you will also have nosebleeds. This shows that the nourishing effect of ginseng is so strong.
If you eat this whole plant, won’t you die by bleeding from the seven orifices?
"Can you only eat half a plant?" Zhou Tiansheng bargained.
"Hey, other people will die, you will definitely not. Don't be too slow. The reason why you are asked to eat the whole plant at once is that you are worried that it will cause the ginseng essence to be lost. Don't worry, Master will not harm you." Zhang Sanfeng said with a smile.
Zhou Tiansheng took the ginseng trembledly and ate it with a bitter face, as if the one in front of him was not ginseng, but a highly poisonous substance like a red-red arsenic crane.
In less than a cup of tea, he ate all the ginseng plant that could eat. He burped it, and the force of the gangster was used to transport the stomach and intestines. The stomach and intestines were peristaltic, and he digested it in a moment.
I saw that his face was as red as fire, as if he was about to drip blood, his eyes were covered in blood, and he bulged out, and he was irritated and ripped the Taoist robe on his body. A huge heat flow from his abdomen rushed to his whole body, as if he was about to burst him out, and shouted: "Master, no, I'm going to die, it's so hot and uncomfortable!Master, save me!"
