    During the three or four days of college, there was already heavy snow in the Baishi Mountains, and the temperature was very low, so many mountain roads that should have been feasible were now covered with snow and ice, making it impossible to walk.

    Chen Yang could only climb up the snow. The knee-deep snow made every step very difficult. The mountain road should have taken an hour, but Chen Yang walked for a full two and a half hours, until noon.  At that time, Chen Yang came to Guyingling.

    However, along the way, Chen Yang always felt that there seemed to be a pair of eyes staring at him in this quiet and quiet valley, but when he looked back at the road he walked, he found no sign of anyone.

    On the snow-covered mountain road, there are no other people¡¯s footprints except your own.

    "Is it because I'm too nervous?" Chen Yang thought about it as he walked, but he couldn't figure it out.

    "It's because of Zhou Qifu's words yesterday that he was all in trouble." Chen Yang was walking, thinking that according to Zhou Qifu's character, even if he suspected that he had found some treasure in the mountains, he probably wouldn't follow him.

    Qifu has been a scoundrel this week. He definitely doesn¡¯t have the guts to go into the mountains during the snow-capped season. His nerves must have been so tense that all the trees and grass are now in danger.

    After crossing Guyingling Ridge, Chen Yang came to Yerengou.

    After it snows, the temperature will be very low. Yerengou itself is a huge basin. Cold air gathers in the basin. In addition, there are dense trees here. Most of the vegetation covering Yerengou are extremely tall spruce trees.  This makes Savage Ditch look even more eerie.

    The sun cannot shine on every inch of land in Yerengou. The fallen leaves and snow here are piled up, making it feel very soft when you step on it.

    Chen Yang walked cautiously along the road to and from the Savage Valley and the Savage Cave. Chen Yang was walking when suddenly, he spotted a touch of cinnabar under a spruce tree next to him.

    When I turned around and took a closer look, I saw a cluster of round cinnabar berries, covered by snow and fallen leaves, with short filaments growing out of the center of the berries.  Placed in this deep mountain forest, if Chen Yang hadn't had sharp eyes, it would have been difficult to spot this plant covered in snow and fallen leaves at a glance.

    Or rather, when ordinary people see it, they just regard it as an ordinary berry in winter. After all, in the deep mountains and old forests, there are a lot of berries with similar shapes.

    But Chen Yang made an unintentional discovery that shocked him.

    "Could it bethat thing!?" Chen Yang stepped forward, carefully pried away the fallen leaves and chicken blood in the grass, and dug out the berry completely from the weeds.

    The green leaves have clear lines. There is a leaf stem in the center, which is connected to the ground and plunges into the soil. An umbrella-shaped berry blooms from the other end. Chen Yang carefully pinches the berry, puts it in his mouth, and bites it with his teeth.  Broken, a strange sound poured into the mouth, which was very refreshing.

    "Ginseng!"

    Without any explanation, Chen Yang started to dig up the soil around the vermilion berry with his bare hands.

    Although Chen Yang studied Chinese medicine, he rarely had the opportunity to go to the mountains to pick herbs since he was a child, because most of the herbs needed by his family's medical clinic were purchased from outside.

    ¡° However, this is the first time for Chen Yang to pick ginseng.

    He carefully cleaned up the weeds around the ginseng, and after distinguishing the compound leaves of the ginseng, his jaw dropped to the ground in surprise.  .

    One-year-old ginseng has only one leaf on its holy stem, which is called "slap".

    Three-year-old compound leaves with two opposite five leaflets are called "Erjiazi".

    The four-year-old three whorls of compound leaves are called "dengtaizi"

    In five years, it increases to four whorls of compound leaves, which are called "four-grade leaves".

    There are five whorled compound leaves at the top of the six-year-old rhizome, which are called "five-pin leaves".

    It takes five years for the upper part of wild ginseng to grow a single compound leaf, commonly known as "three flowers", and it takes five to ten years to grow into a "slap".

    And it will take ten to twenty years for wild ginseng to grow two palm-shaped compound leaves. Shanbantou in the northeast calls it the "key to the mountain."

    ??The wild ginseng with fifth-grade leaves and above are all over 80 years old. In the early years, my grandfather said that in Changbai Mountain, wild ginseng with fifth-grade and above leaves is rare.

    As for the six-grade leaves, the ginseng is more than a hundred years old, which is extremely rare. The mountain people are accustomed to call it "one piece", which means that this is the ancestor of the mountain. The whole hillside will have countless descendants, descendants, just like a ginseng ethnic group.

      As for the seventh-grade leaves.  .  .  .  That is the legendary thousand-year-old ginseng. There are very few of it, and even fewer people have seen it.

    " In the early years before liberation, someone had dug up the ginseng heads that were active in the mountains of Changbai Mountain, and sold them for a sky-high price in Tianjin Wei. One of the ginseng roots was bought by my grandfather.

    In 1963, when I was migrating from north to east to escape famine, I met a kind family by chance and gave my grandfather a bowl of rice. It happened that the eldest daughter in the family was seriously ill, born with yin deficiency and yang deficiency.  It is a disease brought from the mother's womb.

    Grandpa was so hungry that he fainted at the door of that family. If it weren¡¯t for the benevolent leader of your family who was a believer and practiced Taoism in Wudang Mountains in the early years, he had some compassion and gave grandpa a bowl of rice, which saved his life.  .

    Receiving the life-saving grace, grandpa took out the only ginseng he had from the previous year, which he would only use as a last resort, and gave it to the eldest lady of the family to save her life.

    After the founding of the People's Republic of China, his father once told Chen Yang that a wild ginseng with seven leaves was sold in Hong Kong for NT$200 million. In the late 1980s and early 1990s, NT$200 million was astronomical.  number.

    When Chen Yang was halfway through digging, he suddenly froze in place as if his acupoints were being tapped halfway.

    He stretched out his fingers and counted the stems and leaves one by one. When he reached the fifth level, Chen Yang was stunned.

    "Damn it, fifth-grade leaf!" Chen Yang turned to look around and looked at the main film Savage Valley.

    It is a sparsely populated place, and if you can see fifth-grade leaves, it means that there is a high probability that there will be a seventh-grade leaf ginseng king in this mountain forest!

    However, ginseng is a very strange plant. When it withers in winter, it actually enters a dormant period and sprouts in the following spring.

    Perhaps because of the special environment of Yerengou, this ginseng plant did not enter the dormant period in winter.

    Without any explanation, Chen Yang didn¡¯t dare to delay at all, and thought of the ancient legend. Ginseng is an elf with legs, and will run away if it is frightened.

    In fact, this is just a fairy tale to deceive children. Plants do not have legs, let alone run, and can only enter a dormant period. Chen Yang did not dare to delay, for fear that the ginseng would wither in the next second.

    Chen Yang took off the gloves on his hands and dug with his bare hands, little by little, for fear of breaking a ginseng tendril.

    How many years does it take for wild ginseng with five leaves to grow in Yerengou?

    A ginseng that is more than eighty years old is longer than his grandfather lived when he was alive. It is impossible for Chen Yang to keep such a treasure until he enters the dormant period and picks it again in the next spring.

    The night is long and the dreams are many, so dig it out of the soil today!  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
