The Santana in the bureau has been around for a long time, not only is it ventilated everywhere, but there are always some strange noises, which stimulate your nerves from time to time, and the shaking of the engine makes people even more drowsy, sometimes making people feel that they are not sitting in the car, but driving to the subway deep in the darkness.

Thunder clung to the steering wheel, rubbing his head against the cuffs of his uniform from time to time, as if trying to combat the fatigue that kept coming.

"Uncle Chang, what do you think we should do next? I'm a little at a loss for direction. ”

"Xiao Lei, I'm afraid you have to go to Yunnan with Tang Mingjian, one is to figure out the address of the letter, this is the only clue we have to track down the man in black, although it is likely to be a fake address, only try your luck. In addition, you want to find a way to make a copy of his book "Hundred Miasma Spectrum", and I will study it carefully. ”

"If you can find the recipe for the man in black to prepare hallucinogens from Tang Mingjian, it will be a great achievement, I think, it is impossible for the man in black to deceive people into eating the whole mushroom, there must be a set of processing methods or even a mixed formula. The Tang family has been a medicine poison master for thousands of years, and they will not know how to use it. ”

"In addition, I have to trouble Lao Lin for a favor. ”

Lao Lin straightened up in the back seat and pressed his temple, "Lao Chang, what do you arrange, I haven't had much to do in the past two weeks." ”

"Lao Lin, you ask Zhao Guoding to draw a portrait of the old man Tang Mingjian saw, I really want to see his dignity, in addition, give the portrait to Lao Cao, when he checks the surveillance camera, by the way, see if this person appears. I leaned my head back on the back of the seat and spoke slowly.

"Chang, I just dozed off a little in the back, and suddenly remembered that I read a miscellaneous book a while ago, which said that during the Northern and Southern Dynasties, there was a Shamen Faqing rebellion, saying that the new Buddha was coming to the world, and in order to control the congregation, a pill was prepared, which seemed to be called "mad medicine". If you eat it, even father and son will no longer recognize each other, and as long as the doctrine is different, they will kill each other the same. The name of this pill is too arrogant, I can remember it at once, do you often say that it is a hallucinogenic mushroom?"

Under Lao Lin's prompting, I suddenly had an impression. The Faqing rebellion did not last long, and within a few months it was hunted down and killed by the officers and soldiers of the Northern Wei Dynasty. However, in that quelling the rebellion, the Northern Wei Dynasty dispatched 100,000 troops, which also reflected the influence of the Faqing rebellion from the side.

However, what really impresses Faqing is that later generations almost believed that he was the originator of all cults in China, whether it was the later Maitreya Sect, the White Lotus Sect, the Ming Sect, or the lesser-known Mahayana Sect, the Wenxiang Sect, and the Wuwei Sect, all of which were inextricably linked with Faqing's thoughts.

And the biggest memory point of the Faqing rebellion is the slogan he mentioned, which seems to be "Those who kill one person are one Bodhisattva, and ten people who kill ten people are ten Bodhisattvas." This kind of naked incitement to slaughter still smells bloody to this day.

If Zhang Jiao's Golden Army can barely be regarded as a peasant uprising, then since the beginning of Faqing, many organizations under the banner of peasant uprisings have actually been outright cults.

I haven't verified what Lao Lin said about "crazy medicine", but since ancient times, most of the initial methods used by cult organizations to control their followers were in grassroots villages where there was a shortage of medical treatment and medicine, and to gather the first batch of followers by providing free medical treatment and giving medicine. Therefore, alchemists and warlocks are often the core layer of cult organizations. Come to think of it, it is not difficult for a cult to use the method of curing diseases, secretly administering drugs, and controlling the cult members.

"Uncle Chang, what are you going to check these days?" Seeing that I was deep in thought, Xiao Lei turned his head and asked me again.

"I'd like to see what the hallucinogenic mushroom really does. I replied casually, but the person had not yet come out of Faqing's deeds.

Xiao Lei was obviously startled, and the speed of the car was much slower.

"Uncle Chang, although those hallucinogenic mushrooms are not poisonous, God knows what those two mound mushrooms are? What if they are addicted to eating them like drugs? ”

"It's okay, don't worry, Xiao Lei, I don't know what happened to Team Cao and Zeng Qian, Team Cao, a giant at work, a dwarf in life, a sincere apology to Zeng Qian will be over soon? I haven't been coaxed for so long, I haven't seen Zeng Qian for a while, she is studying biology, and has many years of field investigation experience, I asked her to help me see the mushrooms, with her by her side, even if there are any adverse reactions, she can deal with it. I smiled meaningfully at Xiaolei as I spoke.

Xiao Lei quickly understood what I meant, and laughed twice, "I don't have a sister-in-law here, I don't worry, but the amount of mushrooms you still control a little, and it's nothing for ordinary people to be confused by mushrooms, and your destructive power like this is great." ”

Xiao Lei was talking, when suddenly a row of heads came out and said, "Oops." Immediately, he slapped the steering wheel and turned around from the traffic at the sound of a horn.

"Xiao Lei, what's going on?" Lao Lin and I both straightened up, not knowing what was going on.

"Uncle Chang, I just remembered that Lu Panzi is going to Sister Mei's bar today, don't you want to try if he really knows how to play drums? I arranged it the day before yesterday, I almost forgot about it, but fortunately, it's still too late." ”

Our car ran onto the Third Ring Road, and Xiaolei's driving skills were fully demonstrated at this time. Looking at his anxious face, I smiled secretly in my heart: "Xiao Lei is not afraid of the earth and the earth this day, I thought that only the Cao team could control it, but I didn't expect that Sister Mei is also a character, Xiao Lei is very afraid of her?

We arrived at the tower, threw the car on the side of the road, and hurried into the winding basement, where the mottled wooden door of the bar was already in front of us when the faint sound of music sounded.

There was a woman standing at the door, dressed in a light blue dress, elegant and chic, tall, curvaceous, but the neckline was open a little bottom, as if a touch of pink was to set off a jade jade plate with excellent water head on her neck. The long hair is draped over the shoulders, which is the kind of big wave style that is popular nowadays, probably just after being permed, and the curls are still a little tight, which looks not so natural.

The woman's face is soft, I don't know if it's because of the light, or if she has makeup on her face, there is always a sense of haze. But this dress and the wooden door behind him just form a beautiful match, a little indifferent, and a touch of charm.

She had a cigarette in her hand, which seemed to be halfway smoking, and when she saw us coming, she quickly leaned over and screwed it out on the threshold.

"Sister Mei, I'm sorry, there is a temporary case that has been delayed for a while, and it is too late. Little Ray greeted me next to me.

Xiao Lei's words surprised me, this woman is actually Mei Yujun? The first time I saw her, but the standard rock girl dress, jeans and leather clothes, hair pulled up, and the lines on her face also have a kind of indifference that rejects people thousands of miles away, and the person in front of her is simply a world of difference.

Mei Yujun didn't care about my surprised expression, just nodded to Xiao Lei, counted as an answer, and said to me while inviting us in: "Brother Chang, I have arranged everything that Lei Zi told me, I invited Xiao Quan, a famous percussionist in the circle, he invited Xiao Lu to try the drums, what is Xiao Lu's level, he will know as soon as he tries it." ”

"Brother Chang, I have a small box on the side of the stage, one wall is a one-way glass, we sit in the box, Xiao Lu can't see us, I will let Xiao Quan talk to Xiao Lu more, he won't be nervous. ”

Seeing Mei Yujun squirming beside me, Xiao Lei laughed twice, "Sister Mei, you can't call Uncle Chang's title indiscriminately, you call me brother, what do I call you?

"What is old? Leizi, you just owe it, Brother Chang is as old as you shout? I think he is very young. Mei Yujun glared at Xiao Lei and led us inside.

I took advantage of introducing her to Lao Lin's kung fu, dragged Xiao Lei to the back, and asked, "What's the situation?" Xiao Lei, Mei Yujun doesn't seem to be quite right." ”

"There are too many things today, I didn't bother to tell you, didn't you ask me to arrange Xiao Lu's audition? I haven't told Sister Mei yet, she called me first, asked if I was on a business trip, whether I was busy, and asked when I was going to sit at the bar and so on, and finally asked me out for a cup of coffee. Xiao Lei frowned, his face strained, and tried to hide his smile.

"Mei Yu-kun asked you out, you two should be a lot older than each other. I didn't realize what Xiao Lei meant.

"Uncle, I think so too, but as soon as I think about the work, I still ask people for Xiao Lu's audition, just talk about it. ”

"But this chat, I realized that people are staring at you, and chatted with me all afternoon, what hobbies you have, what you like to eat, and you have investigated it all afternoon. Uncle, be careful. When Xiao Lei talked about this, he immediately had a happy brow.

"Mei Yu-kun?" Xiao Lei's words made me stunned.

Observing carefully, I suddenly found that in addition to changing the style of dressing, Mei Yujun also applied light makeup on his face, which was originally very aggressive, and his unsparing temperament suddenly became gentle, the most important thing is that every move is a kind of subtlety, of course, at best, it is subtle, but it is actually a kind of restraint that only a little girl has, how can this be?

Mei Yujun took us to the small private room of the bar, where a few bottles of beer and a pot of hot tea were placed on the table in the middle, and arranged for us to sit down without speaking, staring blankly at the white smoke rising from the teapot, not knowing what to think.

As Xiao Lei said, this private room is very unique, one side of the wall facing the stage has been replaced with a whole side of one-way glass, the outside can not see the inside, the inside looks out without obstruction, and the sound insulation is surprisingly good, the noise of the stage has become almost inaudible here, but does a bar really need such a room?

(Those who do not arise and impermanence are said to be permanent and impermanent, existence and non-existence, etc., if everything does not arise, and even the analysis of the dust does not see anything, so it is said that there is no birth, this is the impermanence of non-birth.) If you don't do this, you will fall into the outer way and be impermanent. --Ranga Sutra)
