Chapter 237: What is a poppy?

There is also an explanation for this, of course, it is just a student's suspense, not necessarily a fact. Besides, he laughed.

"As long as it makes sense and makes sense, no one will ever know how the truth is, I can't imagine it, you might as well be bold and suspenseful. Lian Daning stared at him with encouraging eyes.

This matter has been bothering him for many years, and he doesn't want to always be entangled in this unsolvable mystery, but questions always appear in his mind when they are most unexpected, lingering and lingering.

The most plausible explanation for this is the use of a miraculous plant, the opium poppy. "Besides, I have already thought about it, and at this moment, I lightly said this monster that later affected the fate of the Qing Dynasty and led to the biggest turning point in Chinese history.

When Pandora's box was opened, I don't know what was released, but the poppy must be one of them.

"Poppy?" Lian Daning thought he had heard it wrong, he had never heard of the name of this plant, but it was inconvenient to say it directly.

"Yes, the teacher may not know, this is a magical plant that has only been discovered in recent years. "Besides, I endured it, so I didn't say the word drugs, otherwise Lian Daning would be even more confused.

"Yes, you say, there's something magical. Lian Daning didn't pay much attention to it, thinking that it was a fuss, but thinking that the Kuang family was a family of doctors, he might as well listen to it.

"The fruit of this plant has white juice when it matures, and the fruit is cut with a bamboo knife, and the juice is taken out and boiled in water to make a paste that poisons and kills you if you take a finger-sized piece. "Besides, I explained it carefully.

"Isn't this just poison, like arsenic? Lian Daning said.

"It is true that the properties of the poison are similar, but if this ointment is taken in small amounts, the pain-relieving effect is amazing, not only can it stop the pain, but it can also be hurt without realizing the pain. This is only one of them, and the second is even more miraculous, it can plunge people into a constant happiness that may only be attained by the Buddhist zazen meditation time, and the pleasure obtained is said to be incomparably wonderful. "Besides, it's rendered, and the head is the way.

"Is there such a thing? Have you tried it?" Lian Daning looked at the situation, his face was full of suspicion, he was not skeptical of the description, but he felt incredible that a plant could have such an effect.

The student thought from this case that the murderer must have used this kind of ointment, and whether it was mixed into the family's meal, or whether the ointment was burned and inhaled by the family of three, it depends on the situation at the scene. The family involuntarily fell into an inexplicable joy at the time of death, indicating that they were in a hallucination. Besides, he speculated, and continued:

"Teacher, the students think like this, only when they participate in a festive event, or the Chinese New Year, the family will put on costumes and makeup, which shows that they have entered the world of illusion at that time. After they cleaned up, the murderer hanged them and set them up as the scene where they hanged themselves. The killer used his empty hands, so there were no traces left in the house, so it was impossible to conclude that he had killed him. ”

"Is there really such a plant, is it a medicinal herb?" asked Lian Daning.

"Yes, it's just recently discovered, and its medicinal method is still being explored, and no one dares to use it easily, mainly because the dose is difficult to control. And he replied.

"I remember that it is recorded in the Book of the Later Han Dynasty that when General Fubo Ma Yuan was on an expedition to Jiaozhi, he found Coix, and the book said that it was 'using it to lighten the body and save desire', so Ma Yuan not only took it often, but also brought back a cart when the army triumphed, is it also this kind of thing?" Lian Daning began to search for information about Xianguan in his mind.

"The two plants are still different, the medicinal function of coix is not large, but it is a good health product, how to eat it will not make people hallucinate, only the five stone powder that was popular among scholars and doctors in the Wei and Jin dynasties has a hallucinogenic effect. Besides, explained.

"By the way, I forgot. Lian Daning nodded again and again, indicating that he had heard of this drug.

"Wushisan will bring people a strong pleasure, but the price is high, and there are many taboos, and you have to walk more every day to diverge, and when the drug attacks, it will cause vomiting, dizziness, bleeding and other discomforts. However, compared to the poppy, Wushisan is really a small thing. ”

As a medicine, Wushisan was also used to treat diseases and relieve pain at the beginning, but later it was found that taking a certain dose could make people feel the pleasure of fluttering immortals, and it was further discovered that it also had the effect of aphrodisiac, so the aristocracy rushed to take it. The Wang Xie family was proud of taking Wushi San, which became a social fashion for a while.

After taking Wushisan, the blood flow accelerated, and the skin became dry and brittle, which was easily damaged, so it was popular for scholars to wear old clothes at that time, because old clothes were soft and would not wear out the skin, just like a newborn baby must ask others for a few old clothes.

In order to protect the skin, people should not bathe often, and if they do not bathe often, it is naturally unhygienic and will give lice. Therefore, the nobles and doctors at that time had two commonalities, one was to wear old clothes, and the other was to have lice on their bodies, and they had to often put their hands into their clothes to catch lice.

It is not a big deal to like to wear old clothes, and nobles have a habit of using old utensils to show that their family has a long history. Unlike the nouveau riche who painted their doors, pasted them with gold on the colonnades, and wore new clothes in the sky, the aristocracy inherited everything from furniture and even clothing from their ancestors. Fortunately, the clothes worn by ancient people were generally wide, and the size of the fit that modern society pays attention to is not the same, so everyone can wear ordinary clothes.

Wang Dun, the general of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, was not only a nobleman and a celebrity, but also a concubine of the Jin Dynasty, one day he asked Yahuan to go home to get him clothes, and the princess gave her husband new clothes. Wang Dun refused to accept it and told Yahuan to take it back and change it for old clothes. After Yahuan went, she brought new clothes, and there was a note written by the princess in them: If you don't wear new clothes, where will the old clothes come from?

Wang Dun was convinced, not afraid of the princess's status, but felt that the princess's words were very mysterious, so he changed to new clothes. That is, this Wang Dun, who later usurped the Jin Dynasty and failed to succeed, was decisively killed by his elder brother Prime Minister Wang Dao. When the Eastern Jin Dynasty opened the country, the power was in the hands of their brothers, and there was a saying at that time: King Sima, the public world. Sima refers to the royal family of the Jin Dynasty, and Wang refers to the Wang family, in fact, it is Wang Dao and Wang Dun.

After Wang Dun's usurpation of the Jin Dynasty, the Wang family's strength gradually weakened, and later the Xie family replaced the position of the Wang family, and the gate valve in the Eastern Jin Dynasty was also called Wang Xie. Xie An was not bad, he won the famous Battle of Weishui in history, and saved the dying Eastern Jin Dynasty.

Because most of Wang Xie's and other families lived in Wuyi Lane in Nanjing, Wuyi Lane became synonymous with aristocratic families.

Du Mu has a poem: In the old days, Wang Xie Tang Qianyan flew into the homes of ordinary people. It is to sigh that Wuyi Alley is already full of ordinary people, and the nobles of the old days are no longer nowhere to be found, not that the swallows who originally lived in Wang Xie's two families flew to other ordinary people's homes. This must not be misunderstood, otherwise it will be very funny.

After talking about the old clothes, let's talk about lice. The so-called self-questioning is to touch the heart with the hand and question the depths of the soul. As for whether the soul is in the heart, there is too much variation, but even in later generations, science is prosperous, and when people face the national flag or take an oath, they often touch their hearts with their hands, representing piety and **.

Regardless of these, the so-called lice are simply the hand that reaches into the clothes to catch lice. As for in public, proudly putting your hand into your clothes to catch lice, it was originally a very indecent thing, but in the Ming Dynasty, only those spicy women who threw away their faces on the street could do it, and literati doctors would never be able to do it.

But in the two Jin Dynasty, it is different, catching lice is something that nobles and celebrities like to do, and it is naturally an extremely elegant thing. You don't have lice to catch, which means that your social status is not high.

At that time, the way people talked boiled down to two ways, one was the Western Jin Dynasty Wang Yan's style of waving and talking, that is, everyone held a whisk made of an ox's tail in their hands, while shaking and blasting away flies and mosquitoes, while starting Taoist metaphysics, saying that they were ignorant and made people more ignorant, and then thought that they were brilliant and mysterious, and discovered the truth of the universe.

This is because according to legend, the gods and goddesses have one for each of them, and no one knows what it is used for. Could it be that the gods are also plagued by flies and mosquitoes? Obviously, it doesn't make sense, and it should be more appropriate to say what the scholars and doctors like to pretend.

However, no one should underestimate this dust, Wang Yan was stunned to rely on this dust, endless talk every day, and he was stunned to talk about the originally strong Western Jin Dynasty. Although the Western Jin Dynasty died in the Eight Kings Rebellion, the decline of the country was inseparable from the inaction of the prime minister who held the authority. Later, Shi Le, who was born as a slave, once accused Wang Yan: Shenzhou Lu Shen, and the monarch is hard to blame. So, he pushed it to a wall and buried all these scholars who advocated clean talk.

Shi Le is a Hu man, who kills people like hemp, and it is difficult to leave a good reputation in the history books, but this incident is really happy and saves him some reputation.

The representative figure of the lice talk is undoubtedly the group of aristocratic scholars and doctors of the Wang Xie family, and later the lineup has expanded, even the most famous Wang Meng during the two Jin and Southern and Northern Dynasties is not spared, which shows that this trend has spread widely and has affected all levels of society.

Wushisan is actually the earliest drug in Chinese history, the so-called aphrodisiac, is nothing more than overdrawing people's energy, the two Jin Dynasty fell to the country, it should be said that it is not unrelated to the wide spread of Wushisan.

Although Wushisan is not as toxic as opium cream, heroin and marijuana later, it is similar in nature. After taking drugs, people become mentally paralyzed and rely on the illusion of comfort and heartiness, and the so-called prevalence of Qing Tan is inseparable from the use of Wushisan. Lingering in bliss, governing national politics is naturally considered to be an unbearable thing, and people in the two Jin Dynasty are to be immortals, in fact, it is the illusion of pursuing Wushi San.

Such a secret of the death of the country, everyone is not uncountable, but unwilling to reveal the truth. Can only confusion heal wounds? This may be true for individuals, but not for the country.
