If it is not hidden in a hole in the ground, then, will it be sprinkled directly on the ground
With the thought of trying it out, Shao Xuan looked around there, but saw a few plants that were similar to grains, but those didn't look like the things that the Ji family would leave behind, because most of them belonged to On the land here, Shao Xuan had seen similar plants in various places. He heard that some tribes would plant them in the early years, but then gradually discovered higher-yielding types of grains, and these were gradually forgotten by people.
The fact that these popular grain plants thousands of years ago can be seen here is also because a small tribe once lived here, and the underground cave below was left by that unknown small tribe. Grain, more or less scattered around the ground.
However, these are not what the Ji family can look up to. Even a thousand years ago, they would not have carried such grain seeds with them. Those that can be carried by the Ji family must be the ones that they consider more precious.
After searching again, Shao Xuan still found no suitable target.
Could it be that the three members of Ji's family really didn't carry any seeds? Or, all the seeds you carry have rotted into dust
Or is it that someone has come here to look for it and dug up everything
No, it shouldn't be. It has only been two or three years since Thief Eleven and Thief Twelve came here. If someone came here earlier, most of them would have discovered the underground cave. Long live Ye would not have been taken away by Thief Eleven and Thief Twelve.
Did you think wrong
Shao Xuan stood at the entrance of the underground cave and looked around.
There are a lot of weeds and various unnamed plants around. There are not many trees. There are only a few small saplings that are not growing well, and a few scattered bushes, so it seems to be more open here.
There are indeed fewer trees in this place, and all kinds of weeds look lush, but that's just because there are many, they appear particularly lush together, but if you look at them separately, each one doesn't seem so good.
Thinking of the growth environment of Thousand Grains of Gold, when they grow, they snatch almost all the nutrients from the surrounding land, and they are extremely overbearing. There is a similar trend here, albeit less pronounced.
Have! There must be something in here!
Shao Xuan's eyes swept around again, but this time, he didn't specifically look for plants similar to grains, but looked at all the plants growing on this piece of ground, and then his eyes stopped at the one less than him. on a knee-high plant.
I just went to look for millet, but I didn't notice these plants. Looking at it now, Shao Xuan felt familiar.
I often run in the mountains and forests, and I usually feel familiar when I see the plants in the forests outside. However, the familiarity this time is not the plants he has seen in the forests. After thinking about it, Shao Xuan feels that this is similar to A plant he had seen in Jiju's farmstead was very similar.
At that time, Shao Xuan went to Jiju, and Jiju took him to see it in the Jingu Grange, and also got to know a lot of the plants that they often grow there, including crops for daily consumption, and some other relatively special plants.
Among them is a plant, which Jiju calls "Tianmai". In the Jingu Grange, there is a large area specially designated for planting. It is guarded by people on weekdays. The slaves can't go there at all. It is the stewards who take care of themselves. But Ji Ju didn't say much at that time, and left there with Shao Xuan.
Jingu Grange is famous for the grains in it, and Jiju mainly introduced grains to Shao Xuan. Therefore, the place where Tianmai was planted was just passing by without stopping too much. Shao Xuan was not impressed by it. , If he hadn't seen the plant here now, he wouldn't be able to remember the specific appearance of the Tianmai.
The tree not far away looks very much like the "Heavenly Vein" planted in Jiju's farmhouse, but in comparison, the ones planted in Jiju's farmhouse have more leaves and grow better. It looks very shriveled. If you don't look carefully, you can't connect with the dense plants in the impression. Shao Xuan didn't pay attention at first, and there is this reason.
As for the "Tianmai", Shao Xuan has only seen its above-ground parts, but he has never seen their underground parts. The only thing he knows is that the most precious part of the "Tianmai" is all underground, and the "Tianmai" It looks very similar to the distribution of meridians in the human body. They grow like this by nature, so they are named "Tianmai".
Really "Heavenly Vessel"
Is this what the three Ji family members brought
Found one, and then looked around, Shao Xuan saw several more, but they were not big, and they were far from growing as well as those in Jingu Grange.
Shao Xuan put the sword aside, took out a short dagger and walked over, intending to dig one first. Just after taking two steps, he suddenly felt that something was wrong. Shao Xuan turned his head to look at a "bush" about ten meters away from him. He had always thought it was just an ordinary bush growing here, but now he felt something was wrong. .
I turned my footsteps and walked towards the bush, only to find out that it was not a bush, but a plant with many branches. Tianmai", it can be found that the leaves of the two are exactly the same! !
However, the difference is that the stem of the small "Heavenly Vein" above ground is not wood. The one that Shao Xuan saw at the Jingu Grange was not wood, but this one is!
This "Tianmai" tree can be said to be the best growth in this place. Although it's only half a person's height, it's fine if it's just an ordinary bush, but compared to the other heavenly veins around here, this one is the largest!
If Tianmai is not a few-year-old herb, but can become lignified and grow indefinitely, then, is this largest "Tianmai" left by the people of the Ji family
It's just that, after a thousand years, the "Heavenly Vessel" has changed in this way
Anyway, this is a great discovery!
Shao Xuan was hot in his heart. Although he was anxious to see how the largest "Heavenly Vein" tree looked like, he did not directly attack the largest tree. He didn't know what the underground part of the Tianmai was like. If he was not careful, he didn't act properly and ruined a treasure. How bad it would be.
So, Shao Xuan walked back again, took the dagger, and carefully dug out the small one he had discovered earlier.
The soil was pulled away little by little, and the roots of this plant, which was not even the height of Shao Xuan's knees, gradually revealed its true colors.
There are a lot of roots. If the stems and leaves were not the same, Shao Xuan thought he was digging ginseng. However, it was even denser and more numerous than the roots of ginseng.
Shao Xuan started to be more careful, and tried his best to dig out this small "Heaven Vein" completely.
The more he dug, the more frightened he became. When he saw the complete Tianmai, Shao Xuan even felt a shivering feeling.
so similar!
It's so similar!
When Shao Xuan heard Ji Ju introduce the Tianmai, he only knew that the most useful underground part of the Tianmai looks very similar to the human meridians, but now that he really sees it, he knows how similar it is.
What was dug out was nothing but the palm-length root system. Every thin whisker seemed to correspond to a meridian in the human body. Where it was thick, where it was thin, where it was long, where it was short, where it forked... Almost 90% All of the above are compatible!
Tianmai is well-deserved!
Shao Xuan still didn't understand the purpose of Tianmai, and Jiju didn't say it at that time, only told Shao Xuan that it was a medicinal plant. However, judging from its appearance, it should also be related to the meridians, right
After digging out a tree, Shao Xuan looked around again. Now he is looking for Tianmai instead of staring at the grain, and he can find that there are not a few Tianmai growing around here. Shao Xuan was only in the range of 50 meters just now. After looking around, I saw more than 20 trees! It's just that those are not big, and the growth is not very good, and may be robbed of all nutrients by the largest tree.
Shao Xuan intends to dig these up and take them back to have a look. It would be even better if they could be transplanted. Jiju would be willing to open up such a large piece of land in the farmhouse, specially planting Tianmai, and guarding it with heavy troops, presumably not. something ordinary.
After chasing Thief Eleven Thieves Twelve for so long, it took a lot of time to get here again. It is getting dark now, and Shao Xuan does not plan to go back to the tribe tonight, so he will guard here first.
I went to the woods to hunt a wild boar, found some fruit, and solved today's dinner. When hunting, Shao Xuan also saw a flying squirrel being killed. This kind of thing happens all the time in the forest and can be seen everywhere. In the past, Shao Xuan would not take a second look, but today Shao Xuan intervened and rescued the injured flying squirrel that was about to be swallowed.
It's not that Shao Xuan suddenly showed kindness, he thought of Tianmai, and wanted to use this flying squirrel to test the use of Tianmai.
Momonga, who was tied by Shao Xuan with the straw rope, screamed in horror and struggled hard, but he couldn't break free from the shackles of the straw rope no matter what.
Waiting for Shao Xuan to solve the wild boar and fill his stomach, he brought Momonga over. I didn't mention it too close, this little thing had sharp claws and bit people. Shao Xuan held the flying squirrel in one hand, and the other hand picked up the Tianmai tree dug up today, and the roots were directed towards the flying squirrel.
The roots of Tianmai came close to the flying squirrel, but the flying squirrel desperately wanted to avoid it. Shao Xuan continued to bring the roots of Tianmai to the flying squirrel. The flying squirrel was forced to bite down, and then stiffened. Living.
But it was only stiff for a second. Soon, the flying squirrel frantically gnawed at the roots of the Tianmai. At that speed, just like a chef chopping vegetables, he only heard the clack and clack together. The sound, and the few roots on the Tianmai that were close to Momonga's mouth quickly disappeared.
When Shao Xuan took back the Tianmai, the flying squirrel was still struggling, with a reluctant look, and stretched his neck to continue gnawing.
Shao Xuan quietly observed the changes in this flying squirrel without giving it any more Tianmai.
Many animals have a natural instinct and intuition to look for herbs, know what is good for them, and know when to eat which is good. Since they are so eager, thinking about it, Tianmai is very useful.
