Chapter 262: Poisonous Flowers and Demons
The petals, rhizomes, and leaves of Datura flowers all contain strong poison. One lick can instantly paralyze people's tongues and lose their sense of taste. Therefore, in ancient times, people from the Western Regions once pounded Datura flowers and used them as food.
Anesthetics were used, but after being used for a period of time, they were abolished by the king of the Western Regions. Therefore, this drug was really addictive. In just a few months, the entire ancient Western Kingdom was in chaos, and countless subjects came to grab the flowers with hoes.
Come back to eat, and even fight to the death for a flower.
According to an unofficial history of the Western Regions, the famous doctor Master Jiu once personally tasted a bowl full of Datura flowers. He declared that after eating all the flowers, the feeling was simply indescribable, hundreds of times greater than the pleasure of having sex with a beautiful woman.
Times!
Datura flowers also have another effect, that is, eating too much can cause hallucinations.
No wonder the villagers in Zuoer Village swear that they have seen the Stove Lord. The so-called Stove Lord is just a big mouse they saw when they were in a state of ecstasy after eating a big meal.
But I still have a question, doesn’t the datura flower only exist in the Western Regions? Why does it appear in Zuoer Village?
So I cast my questioning gaze on the lazy man.
The lazy man asked me for some hemostatic bandage, covered his bleeding arm, and then explained: "I didn't believe it at first, why flowers that can only be grown in the desert weather unique to the Western Regions would appear thousands of miles away in China.
?Later the master told me that the datura flower did exist in Chinese history. Although it was just a flash in the pan, it had a huge impact and even indirectly killed several members of Cao Cao's family."
"Oh? Tell me quickly." I quickly urged.
I really didn't expect that the Datura flower in the Western Regions would be related to Cao Cao's family.
Cao Cao was a famous hero during the Three Kingdoms period, and all of his sons were among the best. Cao Pi became the emperor of Wei, Cao Zhang became a general, and Cao Zhi was a man of great talent, leaving countless touching stories for future generations.
Psalms.
Datura flowers are poisonous flowers from the Western Regions. Can these two be compatible?
The fat man was also aroused by what the lazy man said. He told the lazy man not to be a mother-in-law, and he said everything in one breath.
The lazy man smiled and said: "Everyone knows that Cao Cao is good at everything, but he likes headaches! Cao Cao suffers from severe head wind, and medicine, acupuncture, etc. are of no use, and he will have attacks from time to time. Once he has an attack, he will...
He would have a splitting headache and roll on the ground. So Cao Cao issued a reward to the whole country. Anyone who could relieve his headache would be rewarded with thousands of gold and the title of a marquis."
"Later, a businessman from the Western Regions found Cao Cao, claiming that he could save Cao Cao from the torture of headaches, and presented him with a bottle of pills made from datura flowers! After Cao Cao took the pills, he felt that his head no longer hurt, and he felt numb.
It was so comfortable that he was overjoyed and rewarded the merchants from the Western Regions heavily, and ordered the merchants to move the mandala flowers from the Western Regions to the Central Plains no matter what method they used! The merchants from the Western Regions thought for three days and three nights before finally using a
Special containers were planted to transplant hundreds of Datura flowers from the Western Regions to the Central Plains. However, it is too far from the Western Regions to the Central Plains. There is desert all the way. This trip alone exhausted countless escorts.
Cao Bing..."
"Who would have thought? Since the mandala flower was introduced to the Central Plains, it has become popular throughout the Wei State. Because the literati of the Wei State discovered that this flower is so good, after eating it, the whole body will feel hot and comfortable, and the whole person will feel
It’s about to go to heaven! At one time, one-third of the civil servants and generals in the Wei State were addicted to datura flowers, and those who did not eat flowers were considered to have failed to keep up with the trend of the times."
"Even Emperor Wen of Wei Cao Pi and his younger brother Cao Zhi became addicted to drugs one after another. After Cao Zhi ate datura flowers, he had hallucinations every day, and even thought that his sister-in-law Zhen was descended to earth as a fairy, which was not only indecent
He made fun of her and wrote "Ode to the Goddess of Luo". Cao Pi was tortured by drug addiction and his health became worse and worse, and he died at the age of only forty."
"The master told me back then that he had stepped on the nearby mountains. The hills around Zuo'er Village are rich in yin and are most suitable for the growth of datura flowers. As long as they are planted, they will not bloom for a thousand years.
Withered! And most likely the ancient tombs hidden here are from Cao Cao's time..." said the lazy man.
I saw that the lazy man was very serious from beginning to end, especially when he mentioned his master, there was a hint of sadness in his eyes, which was obviously not pretending, so he asked: "What about your master?
Do you live in Zuoer Village?"
"No." The lazy man shook his head: "My master entered the tomb twenty-five years ago. He was very determined at that time. I couldn't stop him no matter what. He said that there was a huge secret hidden in this ancient tomb.
! He has to go in and find an answer."
"In order to wait for the master to come out, I settled down in Zuo'er Village. I didn't expect that I would have to wait for twenty-five years! In the past twenty-five years, I have been addicted to drugs every day, and I have tried every means to cheat.
Those tomb robbers who went up the mountain to exchange their ears for a feast with the Stove Lord, what day is like a human life? But I can't help it, I must survive until the master comes out." At this point, the lazy man became very angry.
Sighed.
After hearing what the lazy man said, the fat man burst out laughing: "I'm talking about lazy man, is there anything wrong with your brain? Your master went into the tomb and didn't come out for twenty-five years. Even if he wasn't eaten by the monster in the tomb, he would still be dead."
I've already died of thirst and starvation, what are you waiting for here?"
"I don't care!" The lazy man shook his head with a determined expression: "As long as I don't see the master's body, I will never leave this mountain. I promised the master that I would stay here for him."
"Okay, Fatty, I can't persuade you anymore. Let me see, not only are these datura flowers addictive, they can also make people mentally disabled." The fat man said angrily.
But Wang Yuanchao and I nodded secretly.
Although this lazy man is scheming, he is a good and filial apprentice. In today's society, anyone who can wait for the master for twenty-five years just because of a promise cannot be found even under a lantern.
"Then what are you doing here?" I asked.
"No one can take away the secrets here before the master comes out, so no matter how many tomb robbers come, I will kill them all in batches!" the lazy man said through gritted teeth.
"So that's it." I nodded. I felt that twenty-five years had tortured the lazy man from a normal person to a lunatic. The only thing in his eyes was to protect this tomb and still be alive to wait for the master.
return.
Such people are not only pitiful, but also very sad!
At this time, the fat man started gossiping: "I'm talking about lazy people. Fatty thinks your master is very powerful. Not only can he find the location of the tomb by searching for the dragon's cave, but he can also break the wind chime formation alone and enter the ancient tomb. By the way.
, what’s your master’s name? Could it be Taishan Beidou, a famous person in the tomb robbing world?”
"My master usually doesn't rob tombs. He only makes a fortune when money is extremely tight. Because he likes to sing shady operas and has a very bright voice, the troupe nicknamed him: Trumpet Fat." Lazy Man.
replied.
"F*ck, tell me again, what is your master's nickname?"
Before I could react, the fat man's eyes widened. He rushed over and grabbed the lazy man's collar.
The lazy man was startled by the fat man and replied tremblingly: "The horn is fat!"
