0528 Changbai Treasure Hunt

The next day, it was still snowing heavily, but Tang Ding had basically identified the direction through the North Star, but fortunately the snow stopped for a while last night.

The road down from Changbai Waterfall yesterday, because of the need to find the right direction, has long deviated from the stone road that tourists often walk, and now Tang Ding is walking in the thick snow-covered dense forest in Changbai Mountain.

The snow here is nearly two feet deep, and it takes a lot of effort to walk a step.

Although Tang Ding has Xuanmen footwork, no matter how Xuan's footwork, he can't overcome the resistance of the snow, let alone float on the snow.

After walking for most of the day, Tang Ding suddenly felt a little "Hey, what's that thing in front of him?" Tang Ding was excited, because he found that there was a rich aura in front of him a hundred meters in front of him.

Tang Ding took out a Swiss Army knife from his bag, this knife was forced to him by Yao Dongsheng, Tang Ding didn't want to take it, but his dragon sword was broken in Tianshan Tianchi last time, and he didn't have a knife at hand, so it was better than nothing.

It turned out that this knife was still very useful, and it played a big role when Tang Ding killed the badger and skinned it.

If there was only aura, of course Tang Ding didn't need to touch the knife, but around that aura, Tang Ding intuitively felt that there was a huge danger.

There is aura, and of course there are treasures. However, where there are treasures in legends, there are usually divine beasts guarding them.

This is the instinct of beasts, they are far more sensitive to natural treasures than humans, so if there are treasures, they will flock to them.

Tang Ding continued to walk a hundred meters in the snow, and below was a ten-meter-deep cliff.

At the bottom of the cliff is a pool of spring water.

Although the spring is not large, it flows in the snow and meanders into the distance.

Of course, Tang Ding's attention was not to this spring, but to a leafy ginseng plant on a stone wall the size of a round basin in the middle of the cliff above the spring.

This ginseng plant is five compound leaves, five small leaves, and complete branches and leaves, which is in line with the characteristics of wild ginseng introduced by Yao Dongsheng. Ginseng that is more than six years old is also five compound leaves, and it will not grow long.

The reason why Tang Ding saw this ginseng at a glance was because this ginseng was too conspicuous.

Not to mention the lush foliage, in this snow-covered dense forest of Changbai Mountain, there is not a single snow in this pot-sized place where this ginseng grows.

Of course, the ginseng does not grow on stones, but is covered with a thick layer of humus, which is obviously accumulated by the perennial deciduous leaves of this dense forest.

This ginseng grows in this small lump of humus.

In fact, ginseng seems to be a lot of ginseng, but in fact, wild ginseng is extremely rare because the growing conditions of wild ginseng are extremely harsh.

Wild ginseng likes light, but sunlight does not shine directly.

Wild ginseng likes to be wet, but it cannot grow in places with water.

And the most important thing is that wild ginseng should grow at an altitude of more than 2,000 meters, and it should not be too high, and at an altitude of more than 3,000, wild ginseng cannot grow.

There is a last, more stringent condition, that is, where wild ginseng is grown, the temperature difference cannot exceed 15 degrees. The average annual temperature ranges from one to six degrees.

In Jilin, the maximum temperature in summer will reach nearly 40 degrees, and the coldest temperature in winter will reach more than minus 20 degrees Celsius, or even minus 30 degrees.

Of course, there are not many times when this kind of harshness occurs, but the temperature difference between summer and winter here is bound to exceed 40 degrees. The temperature difference between morning and evening is less, and the temperature difference in summer is also 20 degrees.

Wild ginseng is very demanding in terms of temperature, humidity and sunlight, so although this Changbai forest is the best ginseng producing area in the world, there are not many places that are suitable for these conditions.

In fact, it is not accurate to call this ginseng that grows on the cliff wall wild ginseng, but it should be called pure wild ginseng.

Because many wild ginseng is artificially cultivated and then transplanted to the mountains and forests to grow, although the medicinal value is many times higher than that of garden ginseng, it is still not comparable to pure wild ginseng.

But there are so few real pure wild ginseng that they are almost never seen. The ginseng collected by those ginseng pickers over the years is actually not pure wild ginseng, but they found such a suitable place for ginseng growth in the dense forest, and then sowed the ginseng seedlings and waited for the receipt.

Therefore, the current ginseng pickers are not only picking ginseng, but also looking for places where ginseng can grow.

Because pure wild ginseng is extremely rare, this kind of wild ginseng that has been sown artificially but has grown in the natural dense forest for more than 15 years is gradually called wild ginseng together with real pure wild ginseng.

But this ginseng that grows on a cliff is pure wild ginseng.

The efficacy of pure wild ginseng is more domineering than that of wild ginseng, because they are natural and earthly treasures, and they are created by conquering heaven and earth. In the vast world, there are too few places suitable for ginseng to grow, and the chance of the seeds of real pure wild ginseng falling in such a suitable place for ginseng to grow is even less pitiful.

Where the real pure wild ginseng is grown, there will be no grass growing around 20 centimeters, because this earth-shattering human will absorb all the essence of the surrounding land, so that the rest of the plants cannot grow.

The ten-meter cliff, but only three stories high, was a small problem for Tang Ding, and Tang Ding only needed a borrowing force halfway to fall to the ground safely.

However, the snow under this cliff is deeper, and the deepest part reaches Tang Ding's waist.

This is due to the fact that the snow on the top of the mountain is blown down by the wind and falls on the low-lying areas.

However, Tang Ding was not too happy, because when he reached the bottom of the cliff, he felt that there was a faint aura under this ginseng.

Beginning in the distance, this faint aura was inconspicuous, and Tang Ding didn't pay attention to it, just attracted by the aura of ginseng.

When Tang Ding came to the cliff, the aura of ginseng just covered this faint aura, because the two were not far apart.

Now that Tang Ding has reached the bottom of the cliff, he feels that the aura of this ginseng is not the same as the faint aura below, and the aura below is extremely dangerous.

But underneath this ginseng plant is a small pool of water.

This sinister faint aura is in this pool of water.

Of course, this ginseng is a treasure of heaven and earth, and the legend says that around the treasure of heaven and earth, there will be a ring of divine beasts to protect it. This sinister aura seems to be a treasure protection beast, but I don't know what this beast is.

It seems that this ginseng plant is not easy to pick.

Even the beast has an aura, which means that this divine beast is very difficult to deal with.

However, the aura of this wild ginseng is so strong, Tang Ding will never give up easily.

Compared with the two wild ginsengs that Tang Ding spent six million to buy Xue Xue's grandfather before, the aura of this ginseng is rich and condensed, and it is not ordinary at first glance.

Tang Ding walked forward for a while, and at this time he was only ten meters away from this pool, but the pool was dark, which was a manifestation of the depth of the water.

Tang Ding thought about this Wang Tan water simply.

Although this waterhole is only six or seven square meters, it is terrible black. And Tang Ding felt that the sinister aura was hidden in this pool.

I don't know what this divine beast with aura is? But looking at the aura with a faint fierce look, it must not be a good stubble.

I don't know if it's asleep now, if it does, Tang Ding can secretly pick this ginseng and run away.

Tang Ding moved slowly towards the waterhole, trying not to make a sound, and when he approached the waterhole, he realized that the waterhole was not a hot spring, but a cold spring.

The cold spring is in Changbai Mountain, where the sky is cold and the earth is frozen, and it is not frozen.

In fact, cold springs are also very valuable, and the world-famous Evian mineral water is a cold spring.

However, compared to this cold spring, the wild ginseng on it is even more priceless.

Tang Ding suddenly understood a little, how could a precious wild ginseng be bred here?

Nearly wet but not by water, there is light but not direct, and the most important temperature is because of the cold spring below to regulate, the temperature of the cold spring is almost constant throughout the year, cold in summer, not frozen in winter, and this wild ginseng is born in this cold spring three meters on the place, there is a cold spring such a natural constant temperature air conditioning, it constitutes the most demanding temperature conditions of this wild ginseng.

In addition, this cold spring is a miraculous product of nature, and the combination of the two gives birth to this wild ginseng with a strong aura.

It is located in the hinterland of Changbai Mountain, and it is inaccessible.

And the cliff is steep, and idlers will never dare to look down from above, Tang Ding is also very careful, and he almost fell down. Even if there is a spring below, the spring water is so dangerous that even if someone comes here to drink water, they will not be able to see the wild ginseng growing on the stone when they look up.

If it weren't for Tang Ding's miraculous method, he would definitely not have been able to discover this hidden wild ginseng.

It is precisely because of its concealment that this wild ginseng has a very long growth period. Although Tang Ding could not know the specific age of this wild ginseng, according to the aura of the two ginseng branches of the Xue family before, this wild ginseng was at least more than five hundred years, maybe more than a thousand years.

Tang Ding tiptoed out of the snow, and then compared how he could climb the three-meter-high broken rock on the water surface of the mountain.

Digging ginseng is not picking fruits, only hands can pick fruits, this ginseng needs to be dug, and you need to find a suitable location, extremely patient and careful digging, not only the stem, but also to dig out every beard, this way needs to be careful, be sure to ensure the integrity of ginseng.

And this wild ginseng, which has grown for nearly a thousand years, has a huge and complex root system underneath, and Tang Ding can't predict it at all.

When Dondin climbed, he unfolded the main knife of the Swiss Army Knife and bit it into his mouth.

The height of three meters is a small meaning for Tang Ding, but because of the perennial flow of the cold spring under this cliff, it is extremely slippery, and Tang Ding has to be silent to guard against the fierce beasts in this pool.

Therefore, it took Tang Ding a full fifteen minutes to stand on the stone that was born of wild ginseng.

As soon as Tang Ding stood firm, he casually glanced at this ginseng plant, and when he didn't have time to look at it carefully, he immediately started excavating.
