Chapter 375: Gold Mountain, Silver Mountain, Jinpen Mountain
(This chapter contains many pictures, so be forewarned.)
Chu Yue chose a suitable day, put on a bamboo hat, and dressed in an old set of long-sleeved shirt and long pants, making all-round preparations to prevent being scratched by branches in the deep mountains and forests, and to prevent being attacked by snakes, insects, rats and ants.
Then he took Lu Zhanlin's instructions.
"Six o'clock. Remember, six o'clock is the last time. If you are not back before six o'clock, I will look for you."
Lu Zhanlin said this to Chu Yue several times, his tone was serious as if he was giving an order, because Lu Zhanlin had never agreed to Chu Yue going to Jinpen Mountain alone to look for medicinal herbs.
However, Chu Yue was determined, so the couple took a step back and set a time for Chu Yue to return home.
If Chu Yue came back late, Captain Lu might punish her by confining her to her home for three days and not allowing her to go out again.
Chu Yue also prepared a bunch of tools, including a navigation compass, a map of Jinpen Mountain drawn by Lu Zhanlin himself, a backpack for medicinal herbs, and a small hoe. After getting dressed, she set off.
After about an hour, they finally arrived at the Jinpen Mountain location marked by Lu Zhanlin.
"This is it."
After Chu Yue confirmed that everything was correct, she put the map away, found the path up the mountain, and started walking up.
Along the way, Chu Yue discovered many medicinal herbs, such as the common Polygonum multiflorum, Panax notoginseng, Rehmannia root, Zanthoxylum bungeanum, Cassia seed...
Chu Yue did not want to buy too much. When she found new medicinal herbs, she just selected some good ones and put them into the spiritual treasure space.
As long as there is one plant in the Lingbao space, it will grow and spread into countless plants. Moreover, the prices of these medicinal herbs are not expensive in the market, so you don’t have to pick them yourself, you can just buy them directly.
So as long as we maintain plant diversity in the Lingbao space, it will be fine.
But it’s a pity...I still haven’t found the Chinese medicinal herbs that Chu Yue wants.
She was not discouraged. She had only walked halfway up Jinpen Mountain. As long as she continued to go up, she would definitely make new discoveries.
With anticipation, Chu Yue walked higher and higher... until she walked into a misty forest.
It is May now, but there is water vapor condensed in this forest due to the cold air, which shows how high the altitude is. The clothes Chu Yue originally wore were not thick enough, so she took out a waterproof coat from the spiritual treasure space and put it on quickly.
She looked at the misty vapor around her and had a feeling in her heart - this is it.
Chu Yue chose the place with the heaviest mist and walked towards it. Then a towering forest appeared in front of her.
The forest was surrounded by water vapor, so the tree trunks were covered with green moss, and there were tiny branches, leaves and flowers parasitic on the trunks, which made Chu Yue's eyes brighten.
Because it is Dendrobium officinale. (Picture)
Dendrobium officinale belongs to the orchid family. It looks very beautiful, with green rhizomes and blue-purple or yellow flowers.
In addition to being beautiful, Dendrobium officinale itself has very good medicinal effects and is a holy product for replenishing yin.
It can nourish the internal organs, especially for liver damage, gastrointestinal discomfort, eye fatigue, etc. caused by staying up late.
Because of its remarkable effects and beautiful appearance, it is also called "immortal grass".
The Dendrobium officinale that Chu Yue saw was blue-purple, and the flowers bloomed like trumpets, with water droplets on the petals, looking like a dream.
She took out a small military knife and cut off the root of the flower stem, as well as the green leaves and roots next to the flower stem. She cut them off one by one, took them home, dried them, and made tea. It was definitely a good thing.
From the moment she harvested the Dendrobium officinale, Chu Yue felt as if she had opened the treasures of Jinpen Mountain. Then she discovered Polygonatum sibiricum, specifically Polygonatum multiflorum. (Picture)
The growth shape of Polygonatum multiflorum is a bit like taro, with long roots standing on the ground, and a thin root connected to the treasure hidden in the soil, that is, the Polygonatum meat.
After finding a Polygonatum odoratum plant, Chu Yue took out a small hoe, first dug up the soil around the Polygonatum odoratum, and then began to dig in the middle.
Because this operation can minimize damage to the tiny roots of the goldenrod.
“It’s been dug out!”
After a lot of time and effort, Chu Yue finally dug out the entire Polygonatum sibiricum.
It looks like a round oval, and the appearance with soil on it makes it look more like taro, but taro is only an annual plant, while Polygonatum multiflorum is a perennial.
Every year it grows, it adds another ring.
Chu Yue took the dug-out Polygonatum odoratum and counted them, "One, two, three... four, five, six..." (with pictures)
Eight years!
This little thing is actually eight years old. He has definitely met a treasure.
Polygonatum odoratum is sweet in taste and neutral in nature. It can nourish yin and moisten the lungs, relieve fullness and replenish qi, nourish the kidneys and replenish essence. It is a tonic medicine and its efficacy is no worse than ginseng.
Chu Yue planned to wash the Polygonatum odoratum after returning home, and then take out a jar of old yellow wine to soak it in it to maximize its medicinal effect.
After digging up a pile of polyanthus, Chu Yue had no time to catch her breath when she saw a plant not far away. It was tall and protruding, taller than the surrounding grass and trees.
From a distance, it doesn't look like Polygonatum multiflorum, but more like - Fritillaria thunbergii.
Chu Yue walked over quickly to take a look, and it was indeed the Fritillaria duniflora she had been looking for, the most important medicinal ingredient in southern Yunnan Baiyao.
Without any hardship or difficulty, I found it just like that.
The leaves of the Dendrobium officinale spread out before Chu Yue. (Picture)
Chu Yue dug more carefully this time, digging out the soil where the Dendrobium officinale grew together, trying her best to preserve all the roots, and then entered the spiritual treasure space and carefully planted it in the spiritual field.
Her hands were covered in yellow mud, and she couldn't hide the smile on her face.
He reached out and patted the soil, saying, "You must grow well. I'll be making ointments from you later!"
In the misty forest, Chu Yue discovered treasures one after another.
In the afternoon, Chu Yue washed her hands and was about to eat when suddenly a cold wind blew, the leaves swayed, and water drops gradually fell. At first she thought it was just a gust of wind, but the rain did not stop, it turned out to be raining.
Chu Yue wore a conical hat and a waterproof jacket, and simply ate her lunch while enjoying the rain. The various sounds of raindrops falling on the leaves filled her ears, like the music of nature in the forest.
The rain lasted for a full hour, and as it stopped, the sun shone through the woods, and the light suddenly became clear.
When Chu Yue looked up, she saw a beautiful rainbow in the blue sky, and every drop of mist was emitting colorful light.
Not far away, a small dot was shining particularly brightly.
Could it be another good thing?
Chu Yue walked over quickly and saw what she saw—Ganoderma lucidum. (Picture)
It turned out to be Ganoderma lucidum.
Because it had just rained, the surface of the Ganoderma lucidum was washed very clean, without any spore powder, revealing its original fresh color, and the edges of the large pieces of flesh were clean white.
Chu Yue saw not just one Ganoderma lucidum, but a whole bunch of them, large and small, hidden in the surrounding weeds.
There are endless medicinal herbs to dig in the vast forest.
If Chu Yue had followed her personality, she would have wanted to spend the night in the woods and would not have wanted to leave until she had dug enough. However, Lu Zhanlin's words of advice were still fresh in her mind.
If you really make a man angry, the consequences will be unimaginable.
So Chu Yue knew when to stop. The most important Dian Chonglou was already in her pocket, and the rest were extra gains. She was already satisfied.
Chu Yue left the forest where steam was rising again. When she looked back, she felt as if she had entered the Peach Blossom Spring.
This mountain is called Jinpen Mountain, and it really lives up to its name, the whole mountain is full of gold.
