【Chapter 345】The mystery of spiritual objects (8)
Hell blue? When the county magistrate heard Yu Yunsou say that the plant with blue leaves, blue stems, and blue flowers was called hell blue, he was stunned for a moment, and then he suddenly realized it.
I usually have a lot of well-read books in my chest, but when it comes time to use them, I forget about them.
It turns out that the county magistrate was not an unlearned person. He studied hard for ten years and was a Jinshi in high school in the year of the competition. Only then did he get a black gauze hat ----- They are scholars and students.
Yes, we all follow the path of learning and excellence leads to officialdom!
Therefore, the county magistrate can be regarded as a person who has read a lot of poetry and books and has thousands of books in his chest. In addition to the scientific examination subjects, he also dabbled in many strange learning and strange books in his spare time.
Among those vast miscellaneous ancient books, there was once a companion book with the same name as "The Classic of Mountains and Seas", called "Fang Wupu". The county magistrate was also very interested in that strange book, and he couldn't put it down, often thinking about it.
He is so impressed by the table and praises it that he forgets to eat.
Different from "The Classic of Mountains and Seas", the book "Fangwupu" does not record any mythical beasts or birds, fables or myths, but records with pictures and texts some strange plants and trees that appeared in various parts of Kyushu in ancient times.
According to "Fang Wu Pu", when Xing Tian and the Emperor of Heaven were competing for gods, the Emperor of Heaven beheaded him and buried him on Changyang Mountain. Later, a blue-stemmed, blue-leafed plant grew on Changyang Mountain.
However, the whole body of the ruler is blue, even the flowers it blooms are strangely blue, and the roots embedded in the soil are as bright red as blood, which is very strange.
That kind of strange blue grass and trees were accidentally eaten by ancient ancestors, and they suddenly became bloodthirsty and greedy, like cannibals, even people of their own race were not spared...
Later, when Shennong was tasting herbs, he encountered that strange grass and tree. Knowing its origin, he named it Hell Blue and warned the world that it should never be touched, let alone eaten. Whenever it is found, it should be eradicated and buried immediately, or
It is burned to ashes!
Although the hell blue is rare, it is not extinct. In the Tang Dynasty, some people once accidentally ate the fruit of the hell blue, and later became fond of eating human flesh. According to the taste of human flesh, it was divided into three, six or nine grades.
It's human flesh, with children under ten years old being the best, women's flesh second, adult men's flesh the worst, etc.
Therefore, people in later generations who accidentally eat hell blue will often become a glutton for human flesh. This kind of thing is by no means a rare thing. It is also detailed in the book "Nancun Stops Farming Record" written by Tao Zongyi, a native of the late Yuan Dynasty and early Ming Dynasty.
records...
Although the county magistrate had read such ancient books before, he only regarded them as legends and anecdotes. He never thought that the Liu Miaoyan case he encountered today was actually related to Hell Blue.
Therefore, the county magistrate told Yu Yunsou that the book "Fangwupu" did exist, and the county had read it. It did record many strange flowers and plants. Including the hell blue, the county also had it at that time.
I have seen it in "Fangwupu". However, how did you know that Liu Miaoyan was caused by eating hell blue by mistake? Besides, there is no clear record in the book "Fangwupu" that eating hell blue
After a person is buried in the ground, will hell blue grow again on the grave?
Yu Yunsou told the county magistrate that since you had read the book "Fang Wu Pu" back then, you must still remember what was said in the book. Anyone who accidentally eats hell blue will have a bad behavior and appearance.
There is nothing unusual, but there must be blue blood streaks on the inside of the eyelids. Just now I carefully looked at the eyelids of Liu Miaoyan's corpse and found that they were the same as those recorded in ancient times.
As for the fact that after people who eat Hell Blue are buried, Hell Blue will still grow on their graves. This is my personal experience back then, and there is absolutely nothing wrong with it. Please rest assured, Lord Magistrate, because I will never talk nonsense.
At that time, the county magistrate was desperate and had no good solution, so he had no choice but to listen to Yu Yunsou's words - thinking that Yu Yunsou was a highly respected and righteous man, and he should not lie or deceive others.
We can place our hope on that kind of strange thing growing on Liu Miaoyan's grave.
What is incredible is that not long after Liu Miaoyan was buried, a strange plant seedling grew from her grave. Although the plant was still small, it was just as Yu Yunsou said, with a slender stem and a round shape.
The leaves are all bright blue.
At this time, the county magistrate, the master and other officials all praised Yu Yunsou for his knowledge of the past and the present and his extraordinary knowledge, and believed that Liu Miaoyan's case should be ended - Liu Miaoyan accidentally ate hell blue when she ran away from home.
, and those lost children were eaten by Liu Miaoyan. Now that the truth has come to light, the cannibal murderer Liu Miaoyan has also died, so the case is naturally closed.
However, the families who lost their children did not agree with the magistrate's view. They said that although this blue plant was strange and rare, it did not mean that normal people would become bloodthirsty and murderous after eating it.
He can eat children, so he appeals to the government to help them find the missing children...
The county magistrate had no choice but to seek advice from Yu Yunsou again.
However, Yu Yunsou took his time and asked the county magistrate to notify the relevant people and all the country gentlemen and celebrities. They rushed to Liu Miaoyan's grave together the next day. He wanted everyone to see the power and weirdness of the hell blue plant and convince everyone.
The county magistrate hurriedly asked Yu Yunsou, old man, are you planning to test the poison yourself? If there is no antidote, please do not risk your life to prove it just for a trivial case.
Yu Yunsou just laughed, shook his head and denied it, saying that tomorrow he would find a way to make everyone believe that the hell blue poison was weird.
The next day, all the victims, as well as the squires and celebrities, rushed to Liu Miaoyan's grave early as promised. They looked at the blue seedling, which was only half a foot tall, and started talking about it. No one would believe that such an inconspicuous little plant could actually grow.
It can cause people to change their nature after eating them and turn to eating people!
One of the seemingly knowledgeable gentry told everyone that although the world is huge and full of strange things, such strange-colored plants and trees will never have such strange effects. It is likely that officials or others got them from other places.
The seeds were put into the grave soil in advance in order to deceive the victim...
After all, Yu Yunsou's statement was so weird that most people thought that he had taken advantage of the government and deliberately made nonsense to fool everyone.
Everyone was eagerly waiting to see what kind of trick the government and Yu Yunsou, who had always been highly respected, were playing, and decided to expose their lies on the spot.
At three o'clock in the morning, the three small sedans were finally carried to Liu Miaoyan's grave, and the county magistrate and Master Yu Yunsou walked out of it. At the same time, the government servants who followed behind brought something tightly covered with cloth.
Although the county magistrate and the master looked serious, they also showed a trace of uneasiness, as if they had no idea what was going to happen today. On the other hand, Yu Yunsou was calm and confident, without any signs of uneasiness.
Yu Yunsou ordered all the officials to put the thing brought next to the tomb, and then took off the black cloth. Under everyone's eyes, it turned out that the thing turned out to be a large cage with a white rabbit inside.
A black box.
Yu Yunsou calmly joined hands and saluted everyone present, and then told everyone in a loud voice, please look carefully, there is a white rabbit in this cage, there is nothing abnormal, it will eat grass all its life, and it will never touch the smell of raw meat!
After that, he let the strong and cute white rabbit out of the cage. The white rabbit probably had been hungry all night. As soon as he got out of the cage, he immediately lowered his head and ate the grass.
Yu Yunsou asked someone to open the black box again, take out a piece of pork, and tell everyone, please look at it, this is a piece of fresh pork just cut from the butcher Hu...
After saying that, someone caught the rabbit that was eating grass and put it in front of the piece of pork. Although the rabbit was hungry, it turned a blind eye to the pork and refused to eat it--of course
This is a completely unrelated matter. Rabbits are herbivores and of course they will not eat raw meat.
Next, Yu Yunsou asked the yamen servant to take the rabbit to Liu Miaoyan's grave. The rabbit had been hungry all night and would immediately eat grass as long as it was there. It didn't matter what color it was, it was naturally three times five divided by two.
He gnawed away the hell blue plant very neatly!
After the rabbit ate the hell blue plant, less than a pack of cigarettes later, Yu Yunsou asked the yamen servant to place the piece of raw pork in front of the rabbit again.
Under the watchful eyes of everyone, the rabbit that had turned its head when it saw the pork opened its mouth to bite, immediately tore off a piece of raw meat and started chewing it in its mouth...
Needless to say, everyone present almost dropped their eyes to the ground, and everyone stood there in shock with their mouths wide open!
At this time, the county magistrate and the master were completely relieved, coughed twice, and then told everyone quite seriously, everyone has seen it, a rabbit that does not eat meat and only eats grass.
After eating the hell blue, I can actually eat raw meat. If a person accidentally eats this kind of hell blue, I don’t think the county needs to explain the consequences?
…………
When Brother Fang said this, we all sighed and sighed.
"Brother Fang, are you telling the truth?" Brother Dasha said in surprise, "If there really is that kind of hell blue, it would be incredible!"
"It is true that there were people who ate human flesh raw in history, and it was definitely not because they were so hungry that they had nothing to eat as described in the history books. It is possible that, as Brother Fang said, they accidentally ate that hellish blue!" Platoon Leader Huo clicked.
Tongue sighed, "This is really amazing!"
Of course, there are a few brothers who don't believe what Brother Fang said at all, thinking that he is just lying and lying. He said that people will be poisoned if they eat human flesh. Besides, among so many of us, who has ever seen that kind of thing?
Hell blue?
At this time, everyone was waiting for Brother Liu to speak and wanted to hear what he thought of the strange things Brother Fang said.
Brother Liu coughed and said slowly: "What about Hell Blue? Liu has indeed never seen or heard of it. However, Liu has heard of the strange book "Fang Wu Pu" that Brother Fang mentioned.
, saying that the book is an ancient book from the Pre-Qin Dynasty, and the strange flowers and trees recorded in it are incredible and very ghostly..."
"Hahahaha, we can't let Brother Fang lead us around blindly! Even if that kind of hell blue really exists, even if you accidentally eat hell blue, you can eat living people in the future! But all this and the little *** cannibalize each other.
What does it matter? Brothers, what do you think?" Before Boss Liu finished speaking, Brother Li burst out laughing.
Brother Xiao Li is right. After listening to his words, of course we suddenly realized it. We only focused on discussing the facts and discussing the authenticity of the story told by Brother Fang, but we forgot that this was fundamentally related to the fact that Xiao *** was fighting against each other.
The ox is not related, and even eight poles cannot hit it together.
"Hey, don't worry, everyone, everything Fang said is true. During the Qing Dynasty, there was a strange incident called Hell Blue!" Brother Fang said, "As for the little bastards killing each other?
, I’m afraid only that weird old man knows how he did it. But one thing is for sure, it’s definitely related to Hell Blue!”
This matter was easy to handle. Kaikaihe happened to be nearby. Brother Li quickly asked him what was in the blue porcelain bottle he used. Did the old man say it was hell blue?
Zhang Kaihe answered truthfully, saying that he didn't know what was inside. The old benefactor had repeatedly warned that he must not open it for nothing, otherwise he would die. However, the place where the old benefactor lived was surrounded by various kinds of things.
There were many blue plants and trees, but because the old man told him not to get close, he didn’t touch them...
"Listen, isn't that weird old man weird and scary? Fang is not talking nonsense, is he?" Brother Fang said, "Think about it, the place where that weird old man lives is actually full of harmful hell blue. He
Is it possible to do many good things that are beneficial to people? So Fang still suggests that you should not go to that weird old man!"
"What Brother Fang said is a bit wrong. Good guys and bad people can't make such rash assertions!" Of course Zhang Kaihe didn't agree with what Brother Fang said. "Although the old man is a little weird, he is very kind. If nothing else, I, Zhang Kaihe, have my life."
, he was the one who saved him from the dead!"
"Hehe, a very kind person? How could he plant those things that can harm people? Not to mention that it is hell blue that can turn people into man-eating monsters!" Brother Fang said, "Don't forget what he gave you.
That kind of thing can actually make people kill each other. Even if they are not bad guys and demons, they must not be much better!"
"That's not necessarily true," Boss Liu said disapprovingly. "Take us as an example. We have killed countless people on the battlefield, but can we be said to be bad guys and demons? Besides, he also saved Kaikaihe!"
"Hey, forget it, what Quan Dang Fang just told you is an anecdote!" Brother Fang saw that Boss Liu didn't agree with his opinion, so he took a step back and said, "The murderer is not necessarily the bad guy, the one who saves people is not necessarily the bad guy.
There may be other motives. Since Chief Liu is determined to try that weird old man, Fang won’t say any more!"
We listened to what Brother Fang said, and it was getting late. Although Brother Fang no longer dissuaded us from finding that strange old man, he told us again and again that we must not be careless during this trip and must be careful!
To be continued...
