Chapter 205 Xiaobai is the biggest contributor!
Stepping in the dense forest, Zhang Hao walked carelessly, sometimes stroking the gray tree trunks, sometimes stepping on the soft soil, sometimes stepping on weeds, and sometimes stepping over rocks.
However, his eyes were always paying attention to everything around him, and he was always looking for traces of precious medicinal materials in the weeds.
After all, Aunt Li kindly invited them to dinner. If he came to the door with ordinary medicinal materials, it would be a bit unreasonable. It would be better to choose some more expensive medicinal materials, or medicinal materials that can nourish the body.
The best choice is what he found first, Polygonum multiflorum and Gastrodia elata. Such medicinal materials are considered to be precious medicinal materials, and they last for a long time. They do not have much side effects on the body. Even if they are eaten raw, they can nourish the body.
The most important thing Zhang Hao needs to consider is that the medicinal materials he wants to bring cannot be expensive. If the medicine is too powerful, it will not nourish the body and will cause a greater burden on the body. To put it simply, The body cannot bear the medicinal properties of the seeds, and if the deficiency is not replenished, it becomes a burden.
Therefore, you really need to think carefully about what medicinal materials you want to bring.
Seeing Xiao Bai jumping to the front, using his very clever dog nose, he kept sniffing the smell in the air and looking for medicinal materials.
Xiaobai knew that he was going to find some herbs for dinner at night, so naturally he would not cause trouble, let alone find his own food first.
At any time, the Mountain Calling Dog will give priority to obeying the owner's orders and completing the owner's requirements first, and then consider eating on its own or its own instincts.
This is the reason why mountain walkers of all ages have needed a mountain calling dog. All mountain walkers also want a mountain calling dog. This is really the most powerful helper for mountain walkers, even if it costs a thousand dollars.
"Woof woof woof!"
At this moment, Xiaobai, who was running in front, suddenly raised his head and barked in the direction of Zhang Hao, as if he had discovered something.
Zhang Hao's eyes lit up and he immediately stepped forward. When he came closer to Xiao Bai, he saw Xiao Bai raising his hand and pointing at a plant, and his expression immediately became rich.
It was a plant with extremely small leaves, distinct roots and very thin stems, less than one centimeter in diameter, and even shorter internodes, but the branches and leaves were very luxuriant.
After looking at the plant and the humid environment around it, with some moss emerging, Zhang Hao already had the answer in his mind.
This is a calamus, and from the looks of it, it shouldn’t be too young.
Zhang Hao immediately took out the invasion knife from his waist and started digging into the nearby soil.
After a while, he dug a big pit, and there was still a lot of soil that had not been removed. All the roots of the calamus were in it.
Zhang Hao wiped the sweat from his forehead. It was good. The roots were not broken. This was the best result.
For medicinal materials such as Acorus, although the main part, that is, the part that can be used as medicine, is its fruit, the roots also play a part. For example, the roots can be dried and soaked in water to drink.
The efficacy mainly reflects the effects of removing dampness from the body, appetizing, etc. Of course, the effect of the roots is definitely smaller than that of the Acorus calamus fruit, but the important thing is that the medicinal effect is smaller, and the harm is also smaller, and it will not There is a possibility that the medicinal properties may be too strong and burden the body.
In addition, the medicinal properties of Acorus calamus are relatively cool, so it needs to be taken together with other medicinal materials to be effective.
Zhang Hao carefully dug out the Acorus plant and sorted out the roots bit by bit.
On the side, Xiaobai behaved obediently, opened his mouth, stuck out his tongue, and breathed, as if he was a little hot and greedy.
Looking at its appearance, Zhang Hao smiled, cut off all the plant stems above the Acorus, and threw them to Xiao Bai.
This part of the stem has little medicinal properties for humans, but it still has some effect on mountain-calling dogs. Although it doesn't have much effect, it is good for quenching cravings and as food.
Zhang Hao also cut some roots and gave them to Xiaobai.
Suddenly, Xiaobai bit his tail and chewed the stems and roots of the calamus with big mouthfuls. He was so happy when he ate it.
It most hopes to follow Zhang Hao and walk in the mountains together. Generally, if it finds medicinal materials, the owner will definitely give it some of them after digging them out.
Even if the owner finds the medicinal material, he will cut off part of it and throw it to it.
This is the most gratifying thing for him, and it is also the proudest thing about being a mountain calling dog. Every time he goes to the mountains, he can eat delicious food, and it is always fresh.
It is much stronger than that silly deer. That silly deer couldn't find these medicinal materials at all. It didn't understand the master's intentions and was even lazy. Naturally, it couldn't eat fresh things. How could it be like itself, being able to follow the master? You can also eat delicious food while walking in the mountains.
It is simply the pinnacle of a happy dog life.
Soon, Xiao Bai had finished eating everything, and Zhang Hao had also dealt with the Acorus. He had just taken a closer look at the Acorus. It was a three-year-old plant. As a perennial herbal medicine, the three-year-old Acorus plant The year of annual birth is neither long nor continuous.
It is considered to be in good condition, and although the medicinal properties are not mild, the advantage is that it has great benefits in regulating the body, especially for the elderly, such as the stomach, insomnia, and various organs of the body are aging. Elderly people whose physical functions are gradually weakening. Eating a calamus plant and taking it together with other medicinal materials can regulate the body. Of course, the medicine is three-thirds of the poison. Taking too much of these medicinal materials will naturally be of no benefit.
These ordinary medicinal materials are not mountain treasures. They are not even mountain treasures. They are naturally toxic.
Remember to remind Aunt Li about this.
Zhang Hao thought honestly.
Then, Zhang Hao placed the calamus in the basket, then stood up, looked around, and then looked at the calamus in the basket.
It seems a bit lacking. It would be somewhat unjustifiable to take this medicinal plant with you when you go to dinner.
Then, he raised his head and glanced at the sky. It was still early, so he continued to search. Maybe there would be other gains.
Moreover, Zhang Hao also had his own little idea when walking in the mountains this time, that is, he wanted to find [Mountain Grass] in the mountains.
After getting [Piano Insect], he has been thinking about [Mountain Grass]. After all, [Piano Insect] can reproduce. It would be a pity if it does not reproduce.
What's more, who knows whether he will use [Piano Worm] in the future. If he can use it, he only has one, and once he uses it, it will be used up. It is better to use [Piano Worm] now when he can't use it for the time being. [Mountain Grass] catalyzes [Piano Insect] and allows it to multiply.
The reproduction of [Piano Insect] is extremely demanding. It usually takes several years of reproduction before it is possible to obtain another [Piano Insect]. Sometimes it may take more than ten years, and the aura of the spiritual soil must be very sufficient.
However, there is no need to worry about the spiritual soil, and there is no need to worry about the [Piano Insects]. All you need to do is find the [Mountain Grass] and you can start to reproduce.
If that didn't work, he could just go back and forth between the spiritual soil in the fields and the spiritual soil in the mountains. As long as the [Piano Insect] had absorbed part of the spiritual energy, he could then absorb the spiritual energy of another piece of spiritual soil.
Thinking about it, he shouldn't have to do this. He would only consider doing this in extreme circumstances.
Zhang Hao thought like this and continued to wander forward.
Xiaobai still ran ahead, exploring the way for him and finding medicinal materials for him. At the same time, he also found some food for himself and brought it back to Shalu.
Zhang Hao did not relax, and still focused on his surroundings. Xiaobai did not necessarily know the location of [Mountain Grass], and he might not even know the existence of [Mountain Grass], so he could not place all his hopes on it. On Xiaobai.
You can let Xiaobai do the searching for medicinal materials. He will only be responsible for finding [Mountain Grass].
Thinking of this, Zhang Hao walked even more slowly. When he saw a weed, he would pull it out and take a look. After confirming that there was no [mountain grass], he stood up with some disappointment.
After all, the growth environment of [mountain grass] cannot be said to be harsh, but rather troublesome. It must be among weeds, and it is no different from weeds. At a glance, it looks exactly the same.
But the easiest way to identify [mountain grass] is to raise your hand and touch it. Once you touch the weed, the weed will avoid it, or it will avoid your hand in a more unreasonable way. , then it is most likely [Mountain Grass].
[Mountain Grass] is very reluctant to be touched, let alone found by hikers. This is a rather strange grass.
The specific reason for its formation is that [mountain grass] are mostly mountain spirits and wild monsters, or places where mountain spirits are densely populated. Generally, the spiritual energy in such places is extremely strong. Along with these mountain spirits and wild monsters, there are also mountain spirits that absorb the spiritual energy. Sometimes, they will be unable to absorb part of the spiritual energy and spit it out of the body.
[Mountain Grass] absorbs these spiritual energy. Over time, when the spiritual energy is almost absorbed, it will become [Mountain Grass], so [Mountain Grass] has the effect of gathering spiritual energy.
Generally, after becoming a [Mountain Grass], the amount of spiritual energy required is very little, and almost no spiritual energy is needed.
Under such circumstances, the [Mountain Grass] will feed back the absorbed spiritual energy to the surrounding spiritual grass, spiritual insects, and even the mountain spirit.
To put it simply, this is the auxiliary spiritual grass of selfless dedication. As long as he has [Mountain Grass], Zhang Hao can quickly catalyze [Piano Insect], and even other spiritual herbs and spiritual insects, which can greatly shorten the time. At least we should not waste time and realize assembly line production as soon as possible.
Zhang Hao chuckled lightly, feeling that his idea was indeed ridiculous. If assembly line production could really be realized, there would be no more diseases in the world, and he would become the richest man in the world overnight.
"Woof woof woof! Oow! Oow!"
While Zhang Hao's thoughts were running wild, Xiao Bai, who was walking in front, suddenly started barking and Zhang Hao turned his head to look.
Then he saw Xiaobai barking at the weeds in front of him, as if there was something strange in the weeds.
