Flowers from the underworld suddenly appeared in Sichuan! A brief talk about the past and present of fairy grass!

Flower of the Underworld

According to legend, the flower of the underworld has powerful powers. Not only can it bring the dead back to life, but it is also a murderous monster with the magical power to open the door to hell.

The flower of the underworld, which we call the crystal orchid, is a peculiar saprophyte. In real life, it will turn black and ooze dew soon after being picked. No wonder people think it is a magic grass. It is indeed very similar to the magic grass described in novels!

The ghost orchid does have certain effects, but it cannot bring the dead back to life as people say. If you feel weak and have cough and asthma that have not been treated for a long time, then eating some ghost orchid may have some effect.

Nine dead grass

What a resounding name! I believe that all our Chinese friends are familiar with this, right? According to legend, the Nine Lives Grass is a magical grass that grows beside the Queen Mother's Tianchi Lake. One year, a plague was spreading everywhere in the world. The Dragon Girl who lived in Tianchi Lake couldn't bear to see the suffering of the people, so she secretly brought the magical grass to the world. When the Dragon King found out, he was furious and threw the Dragon Girl to the world. The Dragon Girl was thinking about the people in the world, so she voluntarily turned into the Resurrection Grass to continue saving people. Thus, the Nine Lives Grass came into being in the world.

The resurrection grass is actually what we often call Selaginella. It grows on the cliffs and really has a feeling of being isolated from the world. But here comes the point, Selaginella does not have any ability to bring back the dead. It can reduce swelling and relieve pain, and it is quite effective in treating snake and scorpion bites.

Herb of immortality

Back then, Qin Shi Huang went to great lengths to search for magical herbs in order to achieve immortality. He sent troops and generals to the east many times to look for immortal herbs. It was said that if one took a bite of the herb, one could achieve immortality.

If this herb of immortality could really make people immortal, Qin Shi Huang would not only live in our textbooks.

The herb of immortality, which is what we call tomorrow leaf today, cannot make people immortal, but it is a powerful medicine that has the effects of fighting cancer and treating cardiovascular diseases. It is a very precious herb.

Lingzhi Grass

According to legend, Ganoderma lucidum is the incarnation of Emperor Yan's most beloved daughter, named Yao Ji. Yao Ji passed away before she got married. Because she regretted not having experienced the love of the world, she fell to the mountain and turned into Yao grass. According to legend, whoever eats Yao grass can meet the person he or she is thinking of in a dream.

This name must be familiar to everyone. Ganoderma lucidum has saved so many heroes in novels that even it itself may not be able to count them all. It is said that eating a bite of it can allow one to ascend to heaven. It is a rare magical herb in the world.

In real life, what we call Ganoderma lucidum is indeed very effective. It is very effective in treating hepatitis, coronary heart disease, neurasthenia and other diseases. Although it is not a magical herb, its efficacy is also worthy of praise.

Life-saving Herbal Medicine

The most successful appearance of the life-saving magic herb was probably in the Legend of the White Snake. Bai Suzhen was unable to defeat Xu Xian and accidentally drank a special realgar wine, revealing her true form, which scared Xu Xian to death. In order to save Xu Xian, Bai Suzhen broke into the fairy palace and stole the life-saving magic herb, thus saving Xu Xian's life.

The life-saving magic grass is actually the Dendrobium officinale, which has many medicinal uses today. Although it does not have the effect of bringing the dead back to life, it is also called the gold of medicine by modern people, which shows the position it occupies.

Intermittent grass

Fans of martial arts novels must be familiar with this name. In The Heaven Sword and Dragon Saber, Zhang Wuji used the Black Jade Ointment to heal his two uncles Yu Daying and Yin Liting, whose meridians were severed by the Vajra Finger. The bone-setting effect was like grafting, and the efficacy was powerful.

Many people think that this was fabricated by Mr. Jin Yong, but they don’t know that in real life, there is indeed a herb called Duanxu, which has the functions of treating bruises and injuries and strengthening muscles and bones. As for its effect... it may not take effect so quickly. In addition, Duanxu also has a good effect on rheumatism and other diseases.

Forget-me-not

Forget-me-not, which is what we call daylily, I believe many friends will be surprised when they know this! After eating forget-me-not for so many years, young man, do you still have any worries?

Although forget-me-not cannot make people forget their sorrows, the legends related to it are still very touching. It is said that Chen Sheng went to beg for food at the home of Granny Huang. The grandmother was kind-hearted and steamed three bowls of yellow flowers for him to eat, which Chen Sheng found very delicious. After becoming king, he thought of Huang's mother and daughter, so he invited them to the palace. When he talked about the day lily from that year, he couldn't help wanting to eat a bowl of it. Grandma Huang made it herself, but Chen Sheng found it hard to swallow. Granny Huang's words made Chen Sheng feel ashamed. Her general meaning was that since he was used to eating meat and drinking wine, he would naturally feel that daylilies tasted bitter. He only smelled the fragrance of daylilies because he was hungry.

Yellow lily is very effective in treating edema and is now a very commonly used Chinese medicine. Although it cannot make people forget their sorrows, it is still a very good plant.

These legendary magical herbs, without their mysterious cloaks, look very familiar to you, don’t they? The editor believes that the reason why these interesting legends are spread is that these herbs themselves have very good effects. After being praised and exaggerated by people day by day, there are now fascinating legends. No matter what, they are all beautiful!
