Ginseng grows in places with abundant spiritual energy; isn't this the legendary treasure land?
Chen Qingqing looked around and saw the ginseng bird flapping its wings and flying towards a cliff.
On the opposite cliff top, there were strange trees and rocks.
Sensing that the plants there were somewhat unusual, she became curious and got up to approach them.
Clinging to the plants on the rock face, they carefully climbed down, but after climbing less than two meters, the plants disappeared.
Looking left and right, I saw several green vines hanging down from the cliff top not far away.
She slowly moved to the right, but her hand couldn't reach it at all, so she stretched out her foot and used her toes to hook it over little by little.
Finally, they grabbed the green vine, stepped on the protruding rocks, and climbed up the cliff.
The mountaintop was covered with shrubs and weeds. Chen Qingqing found a dry branch and began searching around...
Suddenly, my eyes lit up; I spotted a unique plant in the grass not far away.
With five palm-shaped leaves and bright red, flat fruit, what else could this be but ginseng?
Chen Qingqing found it hard to believe, and examined it carefully again, confirming that it was indeed ginseng. But such a large ginseng was simply unbelievable.
It's important to know that ginseng grows extremely slowly; ginseng with three leaves is considered large, and those with four or five leaves are already quite remarkable.
Wild ginseng with six leaves is over a hundred years old and is considered the finest type of ginseng; many people may never see it in their lifetime.
Seven-leaf clovers are extremely rare.
But this ginseng plant has nine leaves, which means it is of grade nine.
The ginseng may be hundreds or even thousands of years old. Isn't this the legendary Ginseng King?
Chen Qingqing was so excited she couldn't express it. My God, it was like a huge pie had fallen from the sky and hit her on the head!
With this thousand-year-old ginseng, what is there to worry about? It's like letting yourself relax!
Thinking to herself, she unconsciously walked towards the Ginseng King, but then she suddenly remembered something, felt a chill run down her spine, and abruptly stopped in her tracks.
Today was full of unexpected events. First, there was the ginseng bird, which I only knew from books, and then the legendary ginseng king, which is said to be extremely rare. These things are too fantastical, like a dream.
I once heard elders say that ginseng, a miraculous herb, absorbs the essence of the sun and moon, making it a precious treasure of heaven and earth. They said that wherever ginseng grows, it is guarded by poisonous snakes and ferocious beasts.
If there really is a bird of prey guarding me, then I'm in big trouble.
She dared not approach rashly, and cautiously observed the surrounding movements.
Suddenly, a foul wind blew by, and the weeds next to the ginseng king parted sharply to both sides.
A large, jet-black python suddenly raised its head, its two long, crimson tongues flicking out.
Chen Qingqing was terrified, her heart pounding. "My God! The legends left by our ancestors are all true! Luckily, I didn't go any further, or I would have been devoured by the python."
The enormous, jet-black python was as thick as a bowl, and its length was unclear, but the part of it that was raised was more than a person's height.
It opened its mouth wide, making a loud hissing sound, and pounced on Chen Qingqing with lightning speed.
Chen Qingqing was so frightened that her scalp tingled, her face turned pale, and she really wanted to turn around and run away.
But she knew it was too late to escape now. Although the python had no legs, it could shoot at her like an arrow with a twist of its body.
Based on her previous knowledge, she knew that pythons are highly nearsighted, practically blind. If you are very close, as long as you don't move, it won't be able to tell what you are.
Although it is a cold-blooded animal, it is very sensitive to changes in the surrounding temperature.
As soon as you try to escape, the slightest change in temperature caused by air movement will trigger it to pounce and strangle you until you are completely consumed, then swallow you whole.
Chen Qingqing was terrified, but she still managed to calm herself down and stood motionless, gritting her teeth.
The large black python stopped a few steps away from her, shaking its head from side to side, staring at Chen Qingqing with its blood-red eyes and looking her over with ill intent.
At this moment, Chen Qingqing was also staring intently at the large black python. This python had a triangular head. Although she didn't know what kind of python it was, the two sharp white teeth showing from its mouth indicated that it was a venomous giant python.
The two remained locked in a standoff, neither moving an inch. Chen Qingqing was terrified, breaking out in a cold sweat, but she forced herself to stay still in order to survive.
She felt like each day was an eternity, and hoped the venomous python would leave soon.
Whether the large black python was playing a cat-and-mouse game with him or not, it showed no sign of leaving; instead, it leisurely closed its eyes.
Seeing this, Chen Qingqing's throat went dry.
She knew that the large black python was definitely not asleep; it was very likely scheming against her.
What is this thing? Why is it not moving? Could it be a tree?
Wait a minute, I've been guarding this ginseng for years, and I never remember there being a wooden stake here...
Thinking of this, Chen Qingqing shuddered and inwardly groaned; if it thought that way, things would be really bad.
If it can't figure it out, or gets impatient and rushes up to bite her again, or wraps its body around her, then she'll be completely dead.
She remembered the ring on her finger and began chanting Amitabha Buddha's name.
God help us, we're at a life-or-death situation now. If you're a treasure, please show your power!
He muttered to himself for a long time, but no miracle occurred. No, he couldn't just sit and wait to die in order to survive.
If this drags on, things will definitely turn out badly. The best course of action is to find a way to get out as soon as possible.
But what can we do now?
She remembered she was still holding a wooden stick. Although she wasn't sure if it would be enough to escape danger, she had no choice but to try.
Having made up her mind, she used one hand to throw the wooden stick out.
With a snap, the large black python shifted its body, opened its blood-red maw menacingly, but only shook its head and did not charge forward.
Chen Qingqing was deflated. She hadn't expected that the big black python was so cunning and wouldn't fall for her tricks. What should she do?
God, please grant us another miracle!
Just as she was muttering these prayers to herself, whether it was because her sincerity moved her or because the giant black python was a little tired,
Then it closed its mouth, shook its triangular head a few times from side to side, drooped down, turned its body back to the ginseng king, slowly curled up, and lay down to rest.
Chen Qingqing felt as if she had been granted a pardon; it was a golden opportunity. If she didn't run now, when would she?
Fearing the large black python would pounce, she slowly moved backward.
Once they felt they were close enough, they turned and ran.
Grabbing the green vine, they slid down the same path to the bottom of the hillside.
She finally breathed a long sigh of relief and patted her chest. That was close! She hadn't gone into the mountains to look for ginseng; she was almost scared to death.
We should leave this place of trouble as soon as possible.
Without taking a break, she ran as fast as she could, covering the entire Wolf Valley in one breath...
