Sword God Wine Ancestor

Chapter 255 Eighth Grade Leaf

When Su Bai and the others heard this, they immediately quickened their pace. When they looked over, they saw that the road ahead was much wider, but there was still a cliff on one side and a forest on the other. This is not the forest that grew from them. They are basically It is as high as the top of the tree, so it is still halfway up the mountain.

Fortunately, the small road can barely pass the carriage, which is relatively spacious, and there are books on the other side, so the cliff should not be very high.

Su Bai said: "Brother Yu, this road is really secret. I won't talk about it before. How did you find such a road after digging around? I'm afraid it's hard to find it? And even if it's the road here, there is The forest below is blocking it, and I’m afraid there is no way to see it, how did you find it?”

Hearing Su Bai's words, Yu Chenghe blushed, and said embarrassingly, "Brother Su, I'm ashamed to say this, I also found such a road by accident, and I went into the mountain again and passed by here. I actually met a wild wolf, and I broke out in a cold sweat at that time, even though there is only a wild wolf, I am not an opponent! Besides, these wolves live in packs, if you shout, you are not guaranteed to attract many people!"

"At that time, I turned my head and walked away without saying a word. I was impatient and didn't pay attention to the road, but I couldn't outrun the wild wolf. Seeing that I was about to run, the wild wolf immediately chased after me. In desperation, I ran away. When we got to the bushes, we were afraid that the wild wolf would come after us, so we burrowed in desperately, and got lost. After walking randomly, all of a sudden, our eyes disappeared, and we arrived at the platform before us."

"At that time, I was also taken aback. I didn't expect that the exit turned out to be a cliff. If I was in a hurry, I would just rush down! At that time, I didn't pay attention to where I was. I was looking for a way out, and I saw the sheep. Curious, I walked over to have a look, but I didn’t want this road to go all the way here, so I became more and more curious and continued to walk forward, only to find that old mountain ginseng, so it’s all luck!”

Su Bai didn't expect things to be like this, and said with a smile: "That's also because you are lucky, brother Yu, this is a blessing that survives a catastrophe!"

Meng Mengmeng also nodded again and again: "Yes, Brother Yu, your luck is really good, you can find 500-year-old wild ginseng this way, it's really amazing!"

Seeing the way her eyes rolled around, it seemed that she was also thinking about whether she was free to try walking around in the mountains?Maybe there is something good to come across?
Seeing what she was thinking, Xu Chengxiang suddenly felt dizzy, glared at her and said, "Junior Sister, don't run around, not to mention that there are many ferocious beasts in Changbai Mountain, and there are even strange beasts. If you walk around, you will be in danger." The possibility is even greater! Even if you are not in danger, let Master know, and you will inevitably be restrained!"

Hearing that her little thoughts had been exposed, Meng Mengmeng blushed pretty, and stuck out her tongue. She was not afraid of beasts, but if she was grounded, it would be no fun.

Yu Chenghe said: "It's not a joke to get lost in this mountain. Sister Meng has to listen to Brother Xu. Let's stop talking too much. We'll talk when we get to the place first."

Su Bai and the others had no objections, and even Meng Mengmeng wanted to see what the 500-year-old ginseng looked like, so they continued on their way.

This walk took more than a day, and it was already the fourth day they had entered the mountain.

This morning, Meng Mengmeng said impatiently: "Brother Yu, where is the place you mentioned? Why haven't you arrived yet?"

While putting away the tent, Yu Chenghe said with a smile: "Soon! We can reach the place today! Do you see the two big mountains in front? There is a narrow valley in the middle, and the old ginseng grows in the valley .”

Su Bai and the others heard the words and looked up, and they saw two big mountains, but no matter how they looked at them, they didn't want to form a valley. Even if they could, there seemed to be no way to get in!

Su Bai asked: "Brother Yu, there is a valley in this place? How do we get in there!"

Yu Chenghe said with a smile: "There is indeed a small canyon. Our road is actually walking along the halfway of a big mountain. It cannot be entered from other places. Only by walking this road can we see it. Go to that valley, and you will know when you get there."

Su Bai nodded, so it looks like this, in the valley halfway up the mountain?It seems to be somewhat similar to the valley he fell into when he was in Taixuan Mountain!
Now that they were about to arrive at the place, the few people didn't stay any longer. They mustered up their energy and rushed to the place in one breath. Looking at the small valley in front of him, Su Bai also felt very miraculous. It's really hard to find a hole in the sky here!Yu Chenghe really had the perseverance at that time to go so far and find such a place for him.

Yu Chenghe looked at the valley in front of him and sighed: "When I saw that path, I felt that there was a cave behind it, so I walked in without giving up. I really found such a place."

"It's so beautiful here!"

Meng Mengmeng also sighed, it's no wonder she would be like this, because even in this valley, even if it is almost noon, there is still fog floating in it, and because this valley is on the north side of a big mountain, there is no sunshine all year round, It felt like a dream, like entering a fairyland.

"Let's go, let's go into the valley and have a look." Yu Chenghe greeted and walked into the valley first.

The valley was indeed as he said, very narrow, only a few tens of meters wide, even if it was covered by fog, Su Bai could still see the end at a glance, and the length was only 200 meters.

The valley is very humid. Since there is no sunshine all year round, there are no tall trees in the valley, only some wild flowers and grass, and occasionally a cluster of shrubs, but they are all lush and green, with dewdrops hanging on the leaves, which look crystal clear. The shrubs also grow vermilion wild fruits that laugh at the belly, which look bright and delicious.

Yu Chenghe looked at the coveted Meng Mengmeng, and said, "This fruit is edible. I ate it at the time, and nothing happened afterwards."

Hearing what he said, Meng Mengmeng, who couldn't hold back for a long time, quickly picked one and put it in her mouth, squinting her eyes and said, "It's so sweet! Brother, you should try it too!"

Xu Chengxiang laughed and shook his head, and also casually ate one. Su Bai tasted it, and it really tasted good.

But he cared more about the old mountain ginseng, and asked Yu Chenghe, "Brother Yu, where is the old mountain ginseng?"

Yu Chenghe replied: "I have to go in a little further, it's under the rock wall, a sunken place, just follow me."

At this time, he was also a little impatient, afraid that the old mountain ginseng would be poached one step ahead of time. Although he knew that this place was very secret, no one could find it except him, otherwise the 500-year-old ginseng would not have appeared. Laoshan ginseng is such a treasure.Besides, even if no one can come, isn't there still a strange snake!The strange snake was obviously guarding the old mountain ginseng, if it was eaten by the other party, it would be even more distressing!

So Yu Chenghe couldn't help speeding up his pace, and the three of Su Bai quickly followed. After walking for tens of meters, Yu Chenghe stopped suddenly, waved his hand, and signaled everyone not to speak, and then whispered: "Look, there is a That old mountain ginseng."

When several people heard this, they also became interested, and stretched out their heads one after another, looking in the direction Yu Chenghe pointed.

Su Bai saw a one-foot-high plant growing under the rock wall in the moist soil. This plant was full of vitality. There was a cluster of small flower buds at the top, which were lavender and would open at any time. Su Bai doesn't know what ginseng looks like, he may know the kind that is dug up, and the kind that grows in the ground, he can't see it just by looking at the part above the ground.

In fact, Xu Chengxiang and Meng Mengmeng didn't know each other. Meng Mengmeng looked surprised, but now she looked a little disappointed, and said, "This is 500-year-old wild ginseng? It doesn't look very good!"

Yu Chenghe was also focused, and didn't even notice Meng Mengmeng's tone, and sighed: "This is the old mountain ginseng! The eighth-grade leaf! It is not too much to say that it is a treasure of heaven and earth!"

Su Bai's heart moved, and he asked, "Brother Yu, how did you find out how old this old mountain ginseng is?"

Xu Chengxiang and Meng Mengmeng were also very curious and looked over one after another.

Yu Chenghe said with a smile: "So you don't know anything! Then let me tell you first."

He sorted out his thoughts, and then said: "The ginseng that is still growing, from the part above the ground, the year can be judged by the leaves. Generally, if it has grown for one to five years, there will only be one compound leaf. In ten years, there will be compound leaves with five leaves, and in ten to twenty years, the compound leaves with five leaves will grow to two, which is rare in the wild!"

"If it can grow longer, and it is not dug out, there will be three compound leaves with five leaves in 30 years. There is another name for this, called 'Dengtaizi'. After 50 years, there will be There are four compound leaves with five leaves. This kind of ginseng can already be imported, and this leaf is called 'Sipinye', and those with 'Sipinye' are generally 50 to 80 years old."

"After 80 years, it became a 'fifth-grade leaf'. This is a really good thing, and most people have never heard of it! When it comes to the 'six-grade leaf', it is a real treasure. There is no problem at all! This kind of ginseng has been around for more than a hundred years!"

"The 'seventh-rank leaves' and 'eight-rank leaves' that go further up are almost the same as the legends. If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I'm afraid I wouldn't have believed it."

Seeing Yu Chenghe repeatedly sighing, Meng Mengmeng also felt that this old mountain ginseng was not easy, and asked: "Brother Yu, how old are these 'seventh-grade leaves' and 'eight-grade leaves'?"

Yu Chenghe said: "As far as I know, it is only possible to form a 'seventh grade leaf' if it is more than 200 years old. It takes at least 500 years to reach the 'eighth grade leaf'. The ginseng plant in front of us, It is 'Bapinye', so I said it has at least 500 years!"
