big song poppi

Chapter 529 0526 [You are guilty of serious sins]

More than a hundred people who had been taken captive stood on the drying ground, frightened and mixed with anxiety.

Lu He held his youngest son in his arms and his first wife with his other hand, looking around with doubtful eyes.

Zhao Ji said anxiously: "I don't know how these bandits will treat us."

Lu He sighed: "Since we have been brought up the mountain, our lives should be safe, but we will inevitably suffer some consequences."

"It's time to eat, it's time to eat!"

At this moment, a shout rang out not far away.

A group of people dressed as peasants came carrying wooden barrels.

Is there still food to eat?
The people in the sunbathing field were stunned, with expressions of disbelief on their faces.

The rice was vegetable porridge, green and sticky, but it smelled faintly of an alluring fragrance.

After a while, the people all had a bowl of vegetable porridge.

At first, no one dared to eat it.

After all, this thing is so weird. The gangsters who were originally vicious and would kill and behead people suddenly gave them food.

There must be a demon in the abnormal situation.

But after walking for a day and a night, the second half of the journey was still a rugged and steep mountain road. Many people were so hungry that their chests pressed against their backs, and their eyes glowed green.

Now there is hot vegetable porridge, how can I bear it.

Soon, people who couldn't stand the hunger began to drink porridge. After the first one, there was the second one, and then the third one...

There are also smart people. Lu He was holding vegetable porridge and staring at the people eating porridge without blinking.

Seeing that they had finished a bowl of porridge without any adverse reactions, he said warmly: "Eat."

Hearing this, Mrs. Rao and her child took bowls to eat porridge.

It can be seen that the Lu family has good tutors. Even though they are very hungry at the moment, the family of three still eats porridge slowly.

"spices?"

As soon as the vegetable porridge was eaten, Lu He couldn't help but look strange.

Not only did these bandits give them vegetable porridge, but they also put spices in the vegetable porridge?

"Strange!"

Zhao Ji on the side was amazed.

Hearing this, Lu He raised his eyebrows and said, "What's wrong with Brother Song?"

Zhao Ji smacked his lips, and said with a puzzled face: "The aroma of this porridge is so strange, I can't taste what kind of spice it is."

He was the emperor of Zhao and Song Dynasties, extremely extravagant. He had tasted countless delicacies in the past, including many tributes from the Western Regions and overseas countries. He had never seen any spices.

But at this moment, even he couldn't smell the aroma in the vegetable porridge.

Lu He had long believed that he was the son of a wealthy family, so he was not surprised when he heard what he said.

At this moment, Mrs. Rao whispered: "This is the aroma of poppy."

"Poppy?"

Lu He and Zhao Ji were stunned.

Rao nodded and explained softly: "Poppy poppy is also called opium poppy. Many people grow it in Nu's hometown. The winter is wet and cold. The dried shells are often used to cook porridge. It has a warming effect and can also be used as medicine. When it matures every year, There will be medicinal vendors coming to buy it.”

In fact, poppies were introduced to China as early as the Tang Dynasty.

By the Song Dynasty, a small amount of it had been planted in the south.

It is recorded in detail in the "Bencao Illustration" written during the Jiayou period of Renzong of the Song Dynasty: "Poppy seeds were not found in the state where they came from in the past, but now they are everywhere, and many people use them as decorations in their gardens. The flowers are red and white. The second type has a slightly fishy smell. In fact, the rice in the bottle is very thin, so it is very difficult to plant it. The people in the garden put it on the ground every other year, and the seedlings are very luxuriant in winter and spring. If it comes out, it won't grow well. Pick it up when the bottle is brown."

However, people at this time were not very clear about the effects of poppy. Like cotton, it was mainly used as an ornamental flower. In the winter, people in the countryside would use the dried fruit as a condiment to turn the unpalatable vegetable porridge into something delicious. Delicious.

One of the tea ingredients in Xishu Sencha invented by Su Shi is poppy shell.

Su Dongpo also wrote a poem: The Taoist advises drinking chicken soda water, and the boy can cook the orioles millet soup.

Yingmi is the name of poppy in Shu.

Opium, on the other hand, is a juice extracted from unripe fruits. It smells like urine and is hard to tolerate.

This is also the reason why, before the late Qing Dynasty, although opium poppy existed in China, there was no large-scale addiction to it.

What normal person would eat opium cream that is black and sticky, smells like urine, and is extremely bitter?
Therefore, opium has been used as an analgesic and cough-relieving traditional Chinese medicine in the early days.

It was not until the late Qing Dynasty that it was smoked together with tobacco leaves, and it began to be gradually accepted.

In addition, the most critical point is that swallowing opium raw carries the risk of sudden death.

Therefore, honey was added to the Paradise Pill made by Fang Qifu, firstly to dilute the dose, and secondly to make it taste better.

Hearing that this spice was a medicinal herb, Zhao Ji and Lu He couldn't help but let down their guard and ate the vegetable porridge.

A bowl of vegetable porridge cannot fill your stomach at all.

Many people looked at the barrels longingly after eating.

Seeing this, the believer who was responsible for preparing the meal said with a smile: "If you are not full, come forward on your own. You can add more porridge until you are full."

Hearing this, the people immediately rushed forward.

After finishing the meal, the sky had turned completely dark.

At this time, fires were lit around the sunbathing area.

Fang Qifu, wearing a white robe, walked slowly, surrounded by his subordinates.

These subordinates are also dressed in white, with solemn and solemn expressions. Manichaeism respects white, which means light.

"Greetings to the Buddha!"

The believers in the village knelt down on one knee, folded their hands, and pinched out the seals, looking fanatical.

Stepping forward in front of everyone, Fang Qifu slowly spoke with a loud voice: "You have sinned deeply, and the Holy King of Light has issued a decree, asking me to eliminate the obstacles of your sins."

It must be said that the mysterious and solemn atmosphere created successfully frightened the people in the sunbathing field. When~
Behind Fang Qifu, one of his men struck the bronze bell, making a clear and melodious sound.

In the sound of the bells, Fang Qi Buddha recited the sutra: "You should know! Before this world was established, the two light messengers of the Pure Wind Good Mother entered the dark pit and the realm of ignorance. The five points of the clear body are controlled and promoted, and the five types of demons are stuck to the five clear bodies, like flies catching honey, like birds being stung, and fish swallowing hooks. Therefore, the clear wind and clearness make them use five kinds of things. The two powers of the demonoid and the five luminous bodies combine to create the ten heavens and eight earths of the world..."

"Wow!"

Suddenly, a man standing in the front row started vomiting.

A large pool of black water spurted out from the man's mouth.

The black water was mixed with undigested vegetable porridge, and the smell was extremely fishy.

This strange scene frightened many people.

After vomiting, the man's body went limp and he fainted on the ground.

Fang Qifu stopped chanting, looked at the man, and sighed: "Your evil deeds are too deep and difficult to recover from. You have all five demons. If you let it go, you will fall into the boundless black hell and suffer endless torture in three to five years at most." , will never be reincarnated."

As soon as he finished speaking, another woman vomited black water, but it was better than the previous man. She didn't vomit much and she didn't faint.

But despite this, the woman was also frightened. She hurriedly knelt on the ground and kowtowed repeatedly: "Master, save me, master, save me!"

Fang Qifu lowered his eyebrows and lowered his eyes, showing compassion: "If you sincerely take refuge, there is still a glimmer of hope."

"I want to take refuge, I want to take refuge!"

The woman nodded hastily.

In the crowd, Zhao Ji and Lu He looked at each other and saw a strange look in each other's eyes.

This little trick is fine for deceiving ordinary people, but there is no way it can be hidden from them.

After showing some miracles, Fang Qifu began to give a formal sermon, but this time it was not obscure scriptures, but some easy-to-understand words.

Fang Qifu absorbed the advantages of Zhongxiang Yang Yao's teachings and added equal wealth and equal wealth to it.

These common people and even wealthy businessmen have been oppressed by the government in recent years, with heavy taxes and heavy taxes, and all of them have long been dissatisfied.

Fang Qi Buddha's teachings can be said to have reached their hearts.

Coupled with the previous vegetable porridge and miracles, many people's eyes no longer looked frightened, but were replaced by awe.

The sermon lasted for nearly an hour. Fang Qifu looked around at the crowd and said warmly: "Donors, don't worry. I invite you to enter the mountain just to eliminate evil obstacles. After a few days, if you don't want to take refuge, you can leave on your own." Go, I won’t stop you.”

"Thank you, Master."

Many people looked happy and expressed their thanks one after another.

Fang Qifu said: "It's getting late. Good Mingzi, please take all the donors to have a rest."

"Follow the teachings of the Buddha."

One person answered with a seal in his hand, and immediately led the people towards the south of the mountain stronghold.

Looking at the backs of everyone, Fang Qifu asked softly: "How?"

The subordinate behind him replied: "The vast majority of people are stupid and can be believers, but there are also a few people with firm minds."

These subordinates were responsible for observing the reactions of the people when he was preaching and secretly keeping them in mind.

Fang Qifu ordered: "Observe for a few more days. If those people cannot be converted, they will be sent to the slave camp."

"Yes!"

His subordinates responded.

……

The residence is a wooden house with a bunk bed, and one room can accommodate fifteen or sixteen people.

Lu He quickly seized the corner position and placed his wife Rao and his youngest son in the corner against the wall, while he blocked the outside.

"Brother Song, this way."

Seeing Zhao Ji stunned on the spot, Lu He waved to him, indicating to sleep next to him.

"How...how can I sleep here?"

Zhao Ji had never seen such a scene before. Even when he was running for his life, he slept in a spacious and luxurious dragon carriage.

He really couldn't bear the fact that more than a dozen people were crowded into a common bunk.

The fleeing people walked for a day and a night, and were frightened again. They were all exhausted physically and mentally, and they lay down on the bunks one after another.

As people continued to take off their shoes, a strong sour smell spread in the wooden house.

"vomit!"

Zhao Ji was so smoked that he retched and quickly covered his mouth and ran out of the outhouse.

As soon as he went out, he was blocked by a bandit.

The bandit looked at him expressionlessly and said coldly, "Go back. You are not allowed to go out at night without permission."

Goulon!

Zhao Ji swallowed his saliva. Although he couldn't understand what the other party was saying, he still took the chance and asked cautiously in Mandarin: "I...can I take a bath?"

He could tolerate sleeping on the same bunk, but he really couldn't bear not taking a shower.

After walking for a day and a night, his whole body was soaked with sweat, and his body was stained with blood and urine. The various smells mixed together almost made him faint.

The next moment, a sound of breaking wind came.

A slap hit Zhao Ji hard on the face, causing stars to appear in his eyes and blood to flow from his nose, but it was as if he had opened a soy sauce shop, with all the salty, sour and spicy things coming out.

The bandit cursed in a low voice: "You are a filthy bastard. If you don't go back, I will chop you into pieces."

Zhao Ji covered his face, feeling extremely frightened, and hurriedly fled back into the house.

Climbing up to the main bunk in the dark, Lu He asked in a low voice: "Brother Song, I know your family is rich, but here and now, I have to endure it for the time being. Escape is the top priority right now."

Zhao Ji said nothing, feeling extremely regretful.

If I had known this, it would be better to let Puppet Qi catch him, at least he would not be tortured.
