Chapter 81: Poppies

Sikong Yao slowly opened her eyes and saw a sweaty girl. Baidu: real name +

The rain and sweat are implicated together, making the girl look beautiful.

Sikong Yao opened his mouth and asked, "Did you save me?" ”

The girl nodded, the technique of the seven-star needle percussion was extremely harsh, and the silver needle entered the body, and it could not deviate by half a millimeter.

Everyone's situation is different, the roughness of the skin, the amount of fat, and the stiffness of the muscles will all have an impact on the needle insertion.

Acupuncture of human acupuncture points, the consequences can be large or small, use properly, dispel diseases and recuperate, if improper, the light will aggravate the condition, and the severe will break the pulse and hurt the body.

A true master of acupuncture and moxibustion, who pays attention to local conditions, will never apply needles at will.

And this seven-star needle percussion is extremely harsh, almost exhausting all the girl's physical strength.

The girl was too tired to say a word, and pointed to the clothes on the bed.

Sikong Yao found that his upper body was naked, so he hurriedly put on his clothes, and his face was half red.

"Ahem...... That one...... Thank you! ”

Anyway, I still have to thank the girl for coming to the rescue, and Sikong Yao still understands the truth of not forgetting to repay her kindness.

The girl pointed to the door again, Sikong Yao nodded knowingly, and shouted, "Xiyao, I'm fine, come in." ”

Meng Xiyao gently pushed open the door and walked in with two bowls of millet porridge with dates, grapefruit peels, and millet porridge.

Porridge boiling is a craft, and it is not just by putting water and rice together that you can produce fragrant millet porridge.

The rice must be new, and it must not be more than five years old rice, which contains old rice and will affect the taste.

Secondly, the boiling time must be enough, and the girl has a set of acupuncture treatments, and the time is impartial, just half an hour.

The key to boiling millet porridge is that the freshly cooked millet needs to be stirred from time to time to ensure that it is evenly heated and can prevent the bottom from sticking.

If possible, add a little more edible alkali. It can increase the viscosity of the porridge water, and the boiled millet will be more sweet and soft.

When the rice becomes a flower, the candied jujube and pomelo peel are put into the pot to enhance the flavor, and a little sourness makes the original flavor of the millet porridge more moisturizing.

The poisoning was caused by the poisonous gas evaporated from the candles. The toxins mixed in the air cannot be dispersed for a long time after entering the lungs, thus affecting the function of the respiratory tract and causing suffocation.

Jujubes are sweet and flat in taste, which can nourish qi and nourish yin and lungs.

The oily skin is sweet and cold, helps to lower qi, dissolves phlegm and relieves cough, and nourishes the lungs.

Both foods are beneficial to Sikong Yao to detoxify the body, which is really good.

As for the reason for boiling into porridge, it is because the girl is covered in rain. Meng Xiyao was afraid that the cold would enter his body, and he specially selected millet that could fill the deficiency and cold, which was really considerate.

A bowl of porridge went down to the stomach, and Sikong Yao's face began to be rosy.

At this time, the girl also changed into dry clothes and drank porridge.

The girl seems to have not eaten normal food in a long time. At this time, I wanted to feast, but I couldn't throw it away, and it looked a little twisted.

After the girl drank the porridge cooked by Meng Xiyao, her pale face began to become delicate and ruddy, but she said angrily: "Didn't I let you go, why did you still come?" ”

Sikong Yao wanted to stand up, but at the same time asked, "Uh." Don't do that, what's going on? ”

The girl shouted: "Sit down, you are weak in blood now, don't move around." ”

Sikong Yao was scolded by a girl younger than herself, crying and laughing, and finally sat down obediently. He said, "Then tell me, what happened?" ”

The girl spoke slowly and explained, "Ten years ago, since the housekeeper came, he started making that walnut dew for his parents. Later I found out that something was wrong, that thing seemed to have magical powers, and if you drank it, you would be addicted. From then on, Mom and Dad spent all the family's property to hire a housekeeper to cook the walnut dew, and the other subordinates were also driven away by the housekeeper. ”

Sikong Yao asked, "Then how did you find out that there was a problem?" ”

The girl touched the needle strap pinned to her waist and responded: "The quacks in the town tricked me into buying a white lotus at a high price, saying that it was a snow lotus in the Tianshan Mountains that cures all diseases, but fortunately I met the master on the way, and the master taught me the method of acupuncture, I used acupuncture to detoxify myself, spit out a lot of poisonous blood, and my body was very uncomfortable. Later, Master gave me an injection and forcibly suppressed this addiction. Master told me that it was poppy poison, and I was scared and wanted to detoxify my parents, but they couldn't bear the pain of detoxification. When the housekeeper found out about this, he demanded even more exorbitant prices and kicked me out. My father and mother's drug addiction is getting worse and heavier, and they don't listen to me at all, this time I went up the mountain and learned this set of seven-star needle percussion method with Master, just to come back and rescue my parents. ”

Sikong Yao sighed, thinking that this person's heart is really sinister, and he can destroy a happy family for the sake of money.

Then Sikong Yao asked again: "Then why didn't you tell us earlier, so that we can help you." ”

The girl responded: "The housekeeper's original name is Fang Changyuan, and he is the younger brother of the owner of Feihuang Village, this is my family matter, I don't want to affect you." ”

Sikong Yao smiled: "It's really hard for you." ”

Meng Xiyao pondered and asked, "Where did all these poppies come from?" ”

The girl replied, "The housekeeper has planted a field of poppies, which is less than ten kilometers away from here.

Meng Xiyao asked, "Since the housekeeper is dead, let's burn the poppies tomorrow." ”

"Want to burn my poppies? You go and die first! ”

Suddenly, the butler roared and jumped up, his head covered in blood, and his shoulder-length hair stuck to his head haphazardly, looking extremely hideous.

Between the lightning and flint, seven flying needles were connected into a line, falling straight between the butler's eyebrows, one stitch knocking on the other, and the needles progressed, penetrating the butler's skull.

The butler fell to the ground with a "plop" and no longer breathed.

Sikong Yao shuddered, but although the girl's methods were a little terrifying, it was understandable to think that the girl had been poisoned by poppies over the years.

In the middle of the night, the girl had a nightmare.

She dreamed that her parents were screaming wildly, their voices were terrible, and their words were full of longing for the so-called "walnut almond syrup".

They wandered around the room like zombies, and their addicted bodies were extremely uncomfortable, as if they had been bitten by ants, and their skin scratched and could not relieve the pain.

In the end, he collapsed to the ground weakly, foaming at the mouth and bleeding from his seven orifices.

The girl woke up suddenly, thinking that it was just a dream.

However, at this moment, Sikong Yao ran over in a hurry and shouted loudly: "Oh no, uncle and aunt seem to be addicted to drugs!" ”

The girl immediately got up and got out of bed, didn't care about dressing up, picked up the needle belt placed at the head of the bed, and jumped downstairs like a whirlwind.

At this time, the owner and his wife had been subdued by Meng Xiyao and tied up by the soft silk.

The two couples trembled all over, and their mouths kept babbling like beasts, making people seem to tremble slightly.

The girl quickly took out six Mianying needles and pierced the three acupuncture points of Tiantu, Huacani and Xuanji in the middle line of her chest.

The two couples suddenly lost all their strength and fainted.

The girl lay the two of them down and performed another seven-star needle stab.

However, after the acupuncture with excellent effect, the two did not improve, and the poisonous blood was like a mud cow entering the sea, and they disappeared for a long time.

Sikong Yao asked anxiously on the side, "How is it?" ”

The girl shook her head, as if she had been mentally prepared for a long time, but responded: "The toxin backlog is too deep, my acupuncture method can't save them at all, so I can only go up the mountain to ask my master." ”

Sikong Yao then asked, "Who is your master?" ”

The girl replied, "Master never revealed his name to me, but once pointed to a knife placed in the hall and told me, 'The name is just a nickname, if you like it, call me Demon Knife.'" ”

Meng Xiyao's body was as stiff as Kuimu, and after a long time, he asked, "Is that knife a light purple color?" ”

The girl shook her head and said, "No, it's just an ordinary kitchen knife." ”

Meng Xiyao breathed a sigh of relief, but he was disappointed, it didn't seem to be the Chuanzheng Demon Knife he was looking for.

But in any case, the encounter is fate, and now that there is no way to find the knife, you can't just watch this matter and ignore it.

After discussion, Sikong Yao decided to go up the mountain to seek medical treatment with the girl.

The next day, before it was light, the girl took Meng Xiyao and Sikong Yi to the poppy field.

The opium poppy is actually a group of annual herbaceous plants, with about 180 species, which can generally be specifically referred to as the extraction of tranquilizers and morphine components.

The poppy is extremely gorgeous, with alternate stems and leaves, and oval buds, which droop slightly when they are not opened, just like a shy girl with her head bowed.

The four bright red petals against the green sepals are delicate and charming, and the pale yellow anthers are contrasted, and the dazzling field of flowers in front of him can hardly make Sikong Yao associate them with the notoriety of the poppy.

Even during the Wanli period of the Ming Dynasty, Wang Shimao also praised the poppies in "Hua Shu", and there is a way: after the peony, the poppies are the most prosperous.

Meng Xiyao lit it with a fire, and the endless poppies burned red, and the orange fire and the bright red poppies blended with each other, interweaving a strange evil red light, illuminating the sky brightly.

It took more than an hour for the fire to be extinguished, and when the last poppy was burned to ashes, a white pee appeared on the horizon, and then the sun slowly rose.

Meng Xiyao said to the girl: "Let's go, it's important to save Lingzun." Let's go, it's important to save Lingzun."
