Volume 2 Jiang Guo Chapter 7 How much do you know about the flowers in your dreams
Dream City is the place where Yan Che has been during the day, a gathering place for the poor, or an abandoned life. There was a mountain at the end of there, and ordinary people were not allowed to enter or leave it, and someone would watch it day and night. Because the mountains are full of poppies, and there are some precious medicinal herbs. Poppy: That's the raw material for big smoke. It's ridiculous to plant things that save people with things that hurt people. Originally, opium poppy could be used to relieve pain, but some people found that poppy made into tobacco and used to smoke, which can reduce pressure, make people physically and mentally happy, and even become addictive if they smoke it for a long time. Everything in the world that involves benefits will eventually be used by people with crooked intentions and eventually used for the wrong purposes. The people who grow flowers are also poor people in Mengsheng City, they have been exposed to poppies for a long time, almost all of them are chronically poisoned, and occasionally there are those who secretly eat poppy fruit, and directly eat unprocessed poppy fruit is very toxic, and they die violently on the spot. Poor people who were exhausted or poisoned would be thrown down the mountain by the guards. When the people of the city within a city saw that another person had died, they felt little pity in their hearts, but rejoiced, because surely someone would be sent up to work in the mountain. At least in the mountains, you can manage one meal a day, and in the city you don't know when you will be able to get relief. There were so many corpses piled up down the hill that they stinked, and no dog even wanted to gnaw on them. No one will bury them with kindness, after all, it takes effort to do it, and if you don't have enough to eat, where will you have the strength. Those who go up the mountain directly step on piles of stinky corpses up the mountain, not knowing when they will be thrown down and become a stepping stone in the big underground.
On the one hand, it has a high tax revenue, and on the other hand, many officials in the imperial court have the habit of smoking big cigarettes, so they cannot be banned. Once King Jiang also wanted to ban these big cigarettes, but the officials sent would be stopped at the foot of the mountain by these poor people. These poor people have almost no reason and will fight to the death to prevent the officers and soldiers from going up the mountain. They are willing to risk their lives just to be able to eat, and perhaps if the officials who go there bring rations, these things will not end hastily. Later, the officials sent to fight were all mediocre officials who were attached to the three princes, and the property in the city was already the assets of the three princes in private, so they naturally turned a blind eye and let the poisonous buds act recklessly in this territory.
Hua Yao and Hua Rui are brightly dressed, and they are particularly conspicuous when they walk on the dirt road in the dilapidated house. Out of the mud without staining, that's what they probably describe. Countless people watched them from the windows or from the road, it was a beauty that had never been seen before, like a real flower being seen at the moment of blooming. There are also many children who look out with their feet on their feet, looking at the two strangers who are not much taller than themselves, but their faces are clean and clean, and their young hearts are touched, they don't know whether their appearance is normal, or the other party's appearance is what a child should be.
However, in terms of age, Hua Yao and Hua Rui are already more than a hundred years old, and they were already a young shoot before the Second Human and Demon War, and it was not until Yan Che's contact that they were allowed to grow. The poor did not dare to come forward to contact them, but they watched from afar, watching them go to the mountain. Hua Yao and Hua Rui both scanned the crowd and found that they were both sick, a kind of chronic soldier, in addition to malnutrition and insufficient food, living in the poppy air for a long time, leaving their bodies depressed day by day, their eyes bloodshot, and their limbs weak. This city seems to be a tomb that makes people die slowly, and the people who die here will not be mourned in the future.
When they came to the foot of the mountain, a few guards saw them and came to stop them from moving on. The guard's mouth was entangled in vines and tied to a dead tree. The tree was supposed to be a living tree, but now there was only a dry trunk left, proving that it had lived. They smelled the poppy in the air and followed the source of the smell to the top of the mountain.
At this time, in the poppy field on the top of the mountain, Hua Yiniang, the owner of the Dream Flower Smoke House, was checking the growth of new varieties of poppies, and her assistant was holding a torch to help her light it. The flower lady did not touch the flowers, fanned the smell to her nose with her hand, and after smelling it, her brows tightened and then relaxed, and she sighed with a relaxed face: "The effect of this new variety is stronger, and it has not yet been made into a smoke cake, but the smell has a feeling of excitement." If this thing is smoked, it only takes a few days to make a person want to stop, and a landlord to go bankrupt. After saying that, she smiled proudly, soon she can control the life of the entire Jiang country, and then the prince of Jiang will also accept her as a concubine, she can become a member of the royal family, if one of the princes also becomes a king, she can also become a queen, and from then on she can truly live a rich and worry-free life.
It was the war and famine, and her parents starved to death on the streets, so that she really understood the importance of money to people, and no one cares about the life or death of ordinary people, rich people are people, and even dogs are better if they don't have money. She climbed to today's position step by step, pulled the original leader of drug dealers off the horse, and sat on the throne of the largest tobacco merchant in Jiang Country. The poor people who lived in the slums sometimes reminded her of her past self, and she hated her past self, so she let the poor people grow poppies and use their lives to satisfy her infinitely inflated desires.
Just when she was fantasizing about a better future, someone came to report that someone had broken into the mountain and had killed all the way. Hua Yiniang didn't believe it yet, and said that no one in Jiang Guoli dared to move here, maybe it was Yan Qinghou, so she asked her subordinates how many people came from the other party. The subordinates were also embarrassed to speak, and said that there were only two people on the other side, and they were both little girls.
"Little girl?" Hua Yiniang slapped the messenger hard, "Did you not work hard and secretly smoked a lot?" You mean you can't stop two women with a bunch of people?" ”
"Where did the monster come from in the city?" Hua Yiniang asked him rhetorically, and the subordinates who passed the word didn't know how to answer, at this time a person came back from the city, saying that the city was boiling as if the demon suddenly occupied the palace and held King Jiang hostage, it seems that now Jiang Guo has changed hands and is controlled by the demon, maybe the two female babies are from the demon clan. Hua Yiniang was even more angry: "What if it's a real monster, the other party is just two people, or a little girl, you guys are a bunch of big men who eat me and use me, are you still afraid at this time?
While they were still discussing, Hua Yao and Hua Rui had already arrived at the poppy field.
The night is hazy, and the poppies blooming on the top of the mountain are dozens of acres, exuding the fragrance of life-threatening flowers in the dark night. The flower girl couldn't see each other's faces clearly, only saw two petite figures, getting closer and closer in the night. The subordinates who passed the word immediately told Hua Yiniang that they were the ones who broke into the mountain, they had strange powers, and they knocked down all the guards of the lead mountain in three or two clicks, and their strength was extraordinary. Hua Yi Niang saw that the person was not good, and the purpose was likely to be herself, but she didn't believe that these two little points could be so powerful, and the first time the demon controlled the country, she actually found her a woman who sold cigarettes, I don't know what her intentions were, maybe the demon also wanted big cigarettes, and wanted to snatch it from her. Naturally, the flower lady will not let her hard-working lifeline give up, if she is allowed to go back to the past, it is better to let her die. She walked cautiously towards them, and the people beside her followed, and in the light of the torches she slowly saw each other clearly, indeed they were just two ordinary little girls, but they were dressed brightly, and their bodies were decorated with flowers, and they couldn't see any difference from humans at all. Hua Yiniang pretended to be calm and said: "What is the matter with the two girls, trespassing on this mountain is a capital crime, this is the territory of the second prince and the third prince." ”
The flower girls said: "We are here to catch the owner of the tobacco house, our young master wants to live, do you know where the owner is, the people on the road say that it is on the mountain, and there are only a few of you on the mountain." Let's just take them all back, if you resist, we can kill you, so don't resist. ”
Unexpectedly, these two women seem to be young, but their tone is not small, and it is true that the other party's purpose is themselves. The flower lady asked again: "Who is your young master?"
"It's the youngest son of the previous Demon King, Yan Che. Hawkers, although he doesn't want to be a demon king, we still have to be his lady in the future. Now this country is the territory of the young master, and you are also his people. Although I hate you humans very much...... That's what my parents told me, but I haven't met anyone a few times...... Forget it, don't talk nonsense, who among you is the owner of the Big Smoke Pavilion? Take the initiative to stand up, the smell here makes me feel really uncomfortable. Hua Yao pinched her nose, the pungent poppy fragrance made her extremely uncomfortable.
The flower girl gave the two subordinates a look, and the two subordinates consciously stood in front of the flower girl. One of them had a sword at his waist, and he took out the sword and brushed it upwards with a torch, and the blade of the sword burst into flames. Then he handed the torch to the person next to him, and said to Hua Yao Huarui: "Our two brothers are "Fire Sword Brothers", let me tell you in advance, we are not ordinary people, we who can use flames are above the realm of sanctification, and if you want to beg for mercy, you can take advantage of it." Another man took a torch and spewed a huge flame from the torch with a wave of his palm, and he said, "Although we have no grudges against the two girls, it is your bad luck to meet us, and even Yan Qinghou in his heyday is not our opponent." ”
"So, the woman standing behind you is the owner, right? I just saw her ordering you. There is also that Yan Qinghou is really weak, we don't pay attention to it at all, what is there to be happy about compared to a piece of garbage. The two girls didn't seem to hear what the "Fire Sword Brothers" said, which made the Fire Sword Brothers very unhappy.
"These two girls are ignoring us!"
"Big brother, don't relax, if they are really from the demon race, we must be careful. The demon race is peculiar and has strange skills, so they will be defeated one by one first. Said the man with the torch.
"Brother, you were too careful, let me cut them alone, and you covered me behind me. After saying that, the sword-wielder rushed forward with a flaming sword, and when he came to Sister Hua, he slashed horizontally, wanting to cut the two of them with a sword. The swinging iron sword burned with fire, drawing a bright arc in the air. The first to hit was Blossom, and she saw the fire sword swing from the side, and her arm was surrounded by heavy wood for a moment, and then she blocked the sword with her arm. The iron sword sank deep into the wood, and it took all the mighty wielders to pull the sword out of the wood. After the attack was blocked, the elder brother of the Fire Sword brothers looked at the wood that Hua Rui suddenly conjured up, and somewhat understood why the two of them could easily walk up the mountain, and their strength was absolutely extraordinary, even completely crushing them. A sense of dread came over him, and the two girls smiled as if death was smiling at him. The stamen's other hand turned into a vine and whipped at him like a whip. He quickly crouched down, vines streaking over his head. When he looked up, Hua Yao was already high above him. Hua Yao spewed green pollen from her mouth, and the younger brother of the Fire Sword Brother raised the torch and blew the flames with his mouth, and the contact between the flame and the pollen produced an explosion, sparks flew everywhere, and the elder brother was shocked by the shock wave. Scattered sparks fell in the fields, and the poppies were all ignited.
"Hurry up and put out the fire!" Hua Yiniang was anxious, but there was only one subordinate beside her who had spoken before, and the flames began to spread in the poppy field, and the flames burst into the sky in an instant. At the foot of the mountain, anyone could see the fire on the top of the mountain, and thick smoke billowed from the mountain.
"Wild Grows". Hua Yao and Hua Rui used the same tricks they had used in Shinojia Village, and the poppies on both sides grew rapidly, turning into monsters with fire. Hua Yao and Hua Rui, as witches in the flower world, can naturally control all the plants around them, and those poppies have grown into plant demons after they have been endowed with magical powers. The younger brother of the only remaining Fire Sword Brother attacked the poppy monster, and he didn't dare to act rashly with fire anymore, and when he took the knife to split the monster, the monster spewed out a poisonous mist. He inhaled the smoke and at first dismissed it, but he had fallen into a deep hallucination. The poppy was already hallucinating, and a large amount of pollen went straight into his brain. He gasped for breath, and when he looked up, he didn't know that he had fallen into a hallucination, and saw a monster come at him again, slashing at him with a sword, and cutting off the monster's head. But he didn't expect it to be his brother! His brother didn't die from the explosion just now, and he didn't want to be slashed by him when he came back to look for him. The accident made him a bolt from the blue, and his guard was relaxed, and the stamen had turned his arm into a long cone, which pierced his chest. In the end, the corpses of the two Fire Sword brothers were stacked on top of each other.
Hua Yiniang completely ignored the fact that her right-hand man had lost, and was still desperately fighting the fire. The messenger's subordinates saw that the Fire Sword Brothers had been defeated and fled alone. How the flower girl shouted, the escapees did not look back, only she anxiously slapped the fire flower seedlings with her hands, even if her hands were burned, she could not stop her obsessive and crazy rescue. The stamen wrapped the vine around the flower lady and dragged her out of the field. And the flower lady grabbed the poppy in her hand and kept saying "fire fighting". The poppy in his hand was also burned to ashes by the fire. The flower girl cried loudly, splashing and rolling on the ground like a three-year-old child. She scolded: "I have a hundred people under my command, as long as you enter the city, I will definitely let you divide the corpses." ”
"We've demolished all the smoke houses in your city. The young master said that he didn't want to see that kind of cancer growing in his own country in the city again. Do you have anything else to say?"
When the flower lady heard her words, she was like a thunderbolt on a sunny day, she was speechless for a while, and despair permeated her whole body, making her give up struggling, and the ashes of the poppy in her hand fell off her hand.
"Okay, let's go, let's go, the young master must be in a hurry. I thought it was some kind of master, but it turned out to be just a little trick to deceive. After all, the flame was only burned on the oiled sword, not the transformation of qi. The two jumping clowns also compare themselves to Yan Qinghou, how to say that Yan Qinghou also has a realm of sainthood, they don't even have a heavy weight, and their ability to brag is really not small. "It turns out that this fire sword brother does not have such a high realm, and being able to resist fire is to smear oil on the sword, which is seen through by Hua Yao. Flower Lady was dragged to the ground by the vines of the stamen, watching as the raging fire burned her fragile heart of desire. In the end, the mountain burned overnight and was extinguished at dawn the next day.
The flower girl brought back the flower girl and passed through Mengsheng City, and many people saw the poppy mountain flowers soaring into the sky and came out to see what was going on. Later, I saw that the flower girl, the source of evil, was dragged to the ground, and the person seemed to be crazy. Many people threw mud at her, but she still had the phrase "fire fighting, I can give you money". As everyone knows, for these people, life and death are downplayed, money is outside, and breathing out at this time is the only wish.
"Oh no, the Jimin Gang disappeared overnight, the poppy mountain caught fire and the tobacco coefficient was destroyed, and all the slaves in the slave market were released...... "Shocking news was passed loudly in the corridor, everyone didn't believe that there was such a big change in this country in this night, making people guess what the devil was planning.
"Who did it? Is it those demons in the palace?" everyone was asking this question, and there was a surge of people outside the house, many of whom were talking about the great changes tonight in the corridor.
"It seems that tonight is not peaceful, they say that the demon clan appeared in the national capital, is it true? Isn't that thing all dead?" said a man who was naked and flowing. A woman replied seductively, "What are you going to do if the sky really falls?"
"Of course the peony flower will die!" the man pounced on the woman with joy, moaning excitedly at first, but slowly something was wrong, and began to be painful and hoarse. The man's body began to dry up, thin and small, and finally turned into a dried corpse. Ji Wumei got up from the bed and spat out a mouthful of blood from her mouth.
"It's so ugly, it's rare to drink human blood once, and the result is unappetizing. ”
Ji Wumei pushed open the door, and it was already bustling outside, with people coming and going. Ji Wumei leaned against the doorframe of the room, and a guy walked past her, and Ji Wumei stopped him. Ji Wumei's eyes flashed red, and this guy was controlled by her. The guy spoke slowly: "The boss heard that Qiu Shenglong and Luo Duan were taken away and the poppy mountain was burned, and she probably felt that she was the next to suffer, so she found a lot of bodyguards to hide." No one knows where to hide, because the boss never trusts anyone. ”
Ji Wumei smiled proudly, there was no living person she couldn't find. She splintered from her body with many blood bats, which could recognize blood from a person to judge people, and could use sound waves to detect what was behind a wall. Many bats left the room and flew around the city. It didn't take long for one of the bats to fly back and return to Ji Wumei's body. Ji Wumei closed her eyes to accept the message from the blood bat, then opened her eyes and said, "I found you!"
Ji Wumei walked slowly to the window, jumped out of the window, spread his blood wings, and flew into the sky. The guy who was controlled before was released from control and felt weak all over, but he didn't know what had just happened. I remembered that a beautiful woman asked me before, but now I can't see anyone. The man then went into the room to check, and saw that there seemed to be someone on the bed, and he slowly approached, and actually saw a dried corpse, frightened to the ground, and rushed out of the door.
