Chapter 1100: Bigu
Why many fortune tellers in later generations like to sit on the overpass is because the geographical location of the overpass is very special, it is not connected to the sky, and it is not grounded, and it belongs to the "two regardless" areas that the gods can't look at and the king of Hades can't take care of.
The Han Dynasty still belonged to an era of mysticism, otherwise proverbs would not be so popular, from the princes and nobles to the common people, there are many people who are convinced of the gods of heaven and earth.
However, for Fei Qian, is there such a thing as immortals......
Hehe.
To be honest, I don't believe it at all. So when Zuo Ci said that there was a bloody disaster and a great omen, Fei Qian's first reaction was that the routine came again.
Is Zuo Ci an immortal?
Obviously, no.
Even the vast majority of immortals, most of them exist in hearsay.
Zuo Ci has been rumored to have several miraculous deeds, such as holding a piece of dried meat and a pot of wine, which can feed hundreds of people, in fact, it is just the best seduction for ordinary people who have been starving for a long time. Compared with other supernatural powers, such a skill is enough to make the people's hearts move, and what they can't eat is the greatest dream in the minds of people who have been hungry or semi-starved for a long time, and naturally they are more talked about, and then the purpose of the spread of religion is achieved.
What's more, most of these deeds appear in the books of Fangshi, or Taoist literature, how much water these religious documents have, just look at those descriptions of the Great Flood.
So when
Fei Qian looked Zuo Ci up and down, was silent for a while, and suddenly said, "Zuo Immortal, please use tea." ”
"Poor Dao ......" Zuo Ci waved his hand, with a slightly proud look, and said slowly, "...... It is enough to absorb the essence of heaven and earth, no need for tea ......"
Fei Qian's expression remained unchanged, and he insisted on stretching out his palm to signal: "Zuo Immortal, please use tea." ”
"This ......" Zuo Ci looked at Fei Qian's expression, hesitated for a while, perhaps because he felt that Fei Qian's attitude was resolute, and his repeated excuses were somewhat inappropriate, so he slowly picked up the tea soup again and symbolically touched his lips.
Fei Qian looked at Zuo Ci's movements, suddenly smiled, and said, "Zuo Immortal, I don't know how these 'golden pills' in my belly taste?" ”
Zuo Ci was still holding the tea bowl, and when he heard Fei Qian's words, his hand couldn't help but tremble, the tea bowl was a little unstable, and the tea soup in the bowl almost fell on the table.
"Ahem, the general said this...... Zuo Ci hurriedly put down the tea bowl and said with a straight face, "This...... Poor road, I don't know what it means......"
Fei Qian smiled and said, "Without him, tea has the effect of purifying the mind and purifying the body, and it is also a good intention...... Come on, and bring a few more bowls of tea, please drink to the left immortals! ”
Zuo Ci finally changed color, got up and brushed his sleeves, and said angrily: "Poor Dao came with kindness, but he was unexpectedly teased by the general!" That being the case, the poor road is goodbye! ”
Fei Qian also slapped the table and said, "A certain kind person invited you to drink tea, but you actually spoke disrespectfully!" If you want to go, you can go after drinking! Come to someone, take a pot of tea, and wait for the left immortal to drink tea! ”
Huang Xu, who was guarding on the side, although he didn't know why, didn't know why Fei Qian was so angry, but the habit he had developed for a long time made him immediately follow Fei Qian's instructions, greet him, and immediately surrounded Zuo Ci with a few guards.
After a short time, the attendant came with a clay pot of tea, and stood aside with some trepidation.
Fei Qian pointed to the crockpot in the attendant's hand, and then said to Zuo Ci: "Zuo Immortal, don't say that you don't know how to be hospitable...... When the distinguished guests came to the door, they didn't even drink a bowl of tea, and it was still Zuo Xianren who looked down on a certain talent! This pot of tea, I asked the Zuo Immortal to drink it carefully......"
Zuo Ci puffed out his eyes and glared at Fei Qian angrily.
Fei Qian just smiled and looked at Zuo Ci......
In fact, the Han Dynasty may not believe all of these immortals, and there are still a large number of people who have a skeptical attitude. However, when verifying whether these immortals have supernatural powers, they may not use some extreme methods, such as tying them to pillars and piling up some dry wood and thatch to set them on fire......
Maybe it's because the Oriental people are more introverted, most of them like to use some bloodless methods, the simplest and most direct is to be imprisoned, cut off from food, send soldiers to guard for a few days, if you can still live a nourishing life, then it is a real person with some magical powers, if you are starved to death, then you are naturally a liar.
You can distinguish the truth from the fake without blood, and even if you take a step back, you can have an argument, find a quiet room for real people to practice, it is obviously a good heart, how can it be said that it is a house arrest?
Right?
Therefore, testing with diet has become a simple and effective method......
As soon as Zuo Ci came up, he didn't say a few words, and then threw out that he was already an immortal, he could eat and drink dew, and he could not eat the fireworks in the world, in fact, it was an anchor for Fei, although Zuo Ci may not know the theory of anchoring such a psychological effect, but it is completely better for him to use it.
However, there must be flaws in the so-called "Bigu".
If you don't eat, you can still do it for two or three days, but if you completely cut off your water intake, it will last for three days because of the accumulation of a large amount of toxins that cannot be excreted through normal urine, and will continue to accumulate in the kidneys, leading to kidney failure, and this kidney failure is often irreversible even in later generations, let alone in the Han Dynasty, when there was a shortage of medical treatment?
Therefore, without drinking water, it is impossible to do it anyway.
But now Zuo Ci refused to even drink a bowl of tea, and under Fei Qian's repeated invitations, he just touched his lips and made a show......
To be honest, not to mention a bowl of tea, even if it is a crockpot of tea soup, the amount is not large. Although it is said that the Han Dynasty was still mainly used to cook tea, it was not so bad, at most it was like a decoction of traditional Chinese medicine.
But looking at Zuo Ci's appearance, this tea soup is like a poison, or if you drink the tea soup, you will spoil your Taoism and cut off your cultivation, and you will avoid it like a snake and scorpion, which is the case, and it is the same now.
refuses to drink tea, or refuses to drink water, combined with Zuo Ci's words he deliberately said before, then there is only one possibility, Zuo Ci made preparations for "Bigu" in advance......
There are many kinds of Bigu, the kind of people who choose a complete hunger strike, basically they are already early "immortals", people who choose part of the diet, will not be so resistant to drinking tea and water, then the only possibility is to take the so-called "pills" to carry out Bigu people, as long as the people who have eaten compressed biscuits in later generations know that a glass of biscuits is full of abdominal sensation, the reason is that these compressed biscuits will expand rapidly when they encounter water......
Fei Qian, because of the curiosity of later generations, also hooked up with Du Niang to hook up with some information about immortals, one of which is about Zuo Ci Zuo Immortal, a special method that can keep you hungry for a long time. Because during the Jian'an period, there was a famine everywhere, and in order to prevent many people from suffering from hunger, Zuo Ci spread a special diet to his followers......
"Bean Eating Valley", cough cough, this name is of course created by Fei Qiancao, and it is not an official name.
The operation is not complicated, eat a large number of raw beans, note that this raw bean, can not be chewed, can only be swallowed raw. In order to make these beans easier to swallow, Zuo Ci also made a special note to "touch them with light" with his hands......
Stop eating beans until you feel full, and pay special attention at this time to never drink a lot of water!
Then in the following days, try to stay still, that is, just sleep as much as possible, drink a small amount of water every day, and you can not eat a second meal for ten days and half a month......
Therefore, whether you take a pre-refined "compressed biscuit" type pill or eat a stomach full of raw beans, you have the same drawback, you can't drink a lot of water, otherwise it will not only be a problem of satiety, but you may even die because of it!
Zuo Ci looked at the crockpot in front of him, and after being silent for a while, he finally didn't dare to gamble with his own life, and he also understood that Fei Qian might have seen through the trick he used, so he asked helplessly: "...... General, what do you want? ”
Fei Qian waved his hand, and after asking the armor and the attendants to retreat, he motioned for Zuo Ci to sit down again.
Looking at Zuo Ci's somewhat embarrassed appearance, Fei Qian said, "Zuo Immortal, huh...... Do you still need to call immortals? ”
"Well, no, no," Zuo Ci arched his hand and said, "Just call Poor Dao by name......
"Good." Fei Qian nodded, then thought for a moment and said, "It's better to call it a real person...... Zuo Zhenren, are you Zhengyi, or Maoshan? Or Taiping, Heavenly Master? ”
Taoism in the Han Dynasty had split into many schools, each with some differences.
The Zhengyi Sect was created by Zhang Ling, and then continued to Zhang Lu, but when it came to Zhang Lu, there were some changes, and the method of Zhang Xiu, the "Five Bucket Rice Master", was changed, so it is also called the Heavenly Master Sect, or the Five Bucket Rice Sect.
As for Maoshan Taoism, which was more widely accepted in later generations, it was earlier. During the reign of Emperor Jing of the Han Dynasty, the Taoist priest Mao Ying and his younger brother Mao Gu and Mao Zhen were three people, collecting medicine and alchemy in Juqu Mountain, helping the world and saving the people, and the people felt their merits, so they changed the name of the mountain to "Maoshan", and the three brothers of the Mao family were also known as the Taoist ancestors of Maoshan.
Taiping, naturally, is Zhang Jiao, but now Taiping Dao is positioned as an anti-government and counter-revolutionary launching organization, so ordinary people do not dare to claim to be believers in Taiping......
Zuo Ci arched his hand and said, "This ...... The general is really familiar...... It's not a secret, the poor road is the Maoshan school......"
"Maoshan?" Fei Qian nodded, and then asked, "Since it is Maoshan Mountain, why did you come here?" "Maoshan is located in Yangzhou, Dahan, although it is not thousands of miles away, but it is also some distance away from Pingyang.
Zuo Ci smiled slightly embarrassedly and said, "The poor road was originally in Luoyang...... Unexpectedly, Dong Taishi moved the capital, and the soldiers were in chaos...... I had no choice but to end up here......"
Zuo Ci said it a little slurred, and Fei Qian could see that not all of them were the truth, but thinking about it, it could be regarded as a truth of seven or eight points.
In Luoyang, it is relatively reliable.
After all, Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty also asked for a lot of things like Fang Shi Dan in the later period, and for the sake of glory and wealth, it is normal for many Fang Shi to rush to Luoyang to offer the so-called Jin Dan, and within the circle of the Han Dynasty Shi clan, such as Jin Dan, or Wushi San, such high-level "supplements" are not something that ordinary people can enjoy......
After generally knowing Zuo Ci's past and future, Fei Qian asked: "In this case, what does Zuo Zhenren want to come here?" ”
What do you want?
Zuo Ci is indeed not wrong with two things, whether it is fortune telling or scriptures, or a few tricks, and even some martial arts, but these things can't replace food......
Although the fools in the countryside are so foolish, these farmers don't have anything in the first place, and Zuo Ci is really tired of eating a bowl of sticky sticks in the east and a bowl in the west.
So......
But if you want to be a good man, you naturally have to seek some goals.
The Sanfu area in Guanzhong is rotten, and it has not stopped until now......
Hongnong was tossed and disabled by Dong Zhuo before, and now he heard that in order to welcome Emperor Liu Xie, he was going to rebuild Luoyang with hard labor everywhere......
Hedong, of course, is not bad, but how can it be compared to Pingyang here? When Zuo Ci was in Hedong, he heard many people talk about the prosperity of Pingyang, and even the dishes that were renovated in Pingyang spread to Hedong, setting off an unprecedented upsurge in the food industry......
Therefore, Zuo Ci finally chose to come to Pingyang, but he didn't expect that after some careful preparation, he hadn't fully used it, so he planted a heel in front of Fei Qian.
Zuo Ci said with a little embarrassment: "I have long heard that the general of Zhengxi is flat and white, defeated Xianbei, Fuyin Mountain, famous and famous, and has been in love with the poor road for a long time...... Therefore, I wanted to come here to see the majesty of General Zhengxi...... That's all there is to it, nothing else ......"
Fei Qian smiled, noncommittal.
"A certain person also knows that the real person is detached from the world, and regards glory and wealth as a passing cloud......"
Who wouldn't?
Fei Qian looked at Zuo Ci, saw that the corners of his mouth twitched slightly, smiled, and continued: "...... However, somewhere, there is a real need for real people, and there are also important tasks to be entrusted to real people...... Now that the real person is here, it is an honor to ......"
Hearing what Fei Qian said, Zuo Ci couldn't help but be overjoyed, and finally a stone fell to the ground. However, Zuo Ci still had to maintain a reserved expression, and said slowly: "The poor road is a person outside the party, and he should ignore the mundane things...... However, since the general is so sincere, it must be beneficial to the people's livelihood and can be regarded as a merit...... Poor Dao is willing to listen to the general......"
The word merit is not a Buddhist language, as early as in the Book of Rites, it is written: "Those who have merit to the people will be added to the law." It's just that in later generations, it was mostly used for Buddhist things, and the source was gradually forgotten.
"Good!" Fei Qian nodded, and then said, "...... It's getting late today, and Zuo Zhenren is also tired from the journey, so why don't you rest first, and then invite the real person tomorrow to discuss it......"
Zuo Ciji said: "Everything is subject to the general's arrangement." ”
Since it is to cooperate, it can't be too oppressive, although he knows that Zuo Ci is not worthy of his name, but Fei Qian still smiled, got up to send Zuo Ci out, and personally asked people to arrange Zuo Ci's accommodation, so that people can be treated well, and it can be regarded as giving Zuo Ci a face......
Just as he was about to part, Fei Qian suddenly remembered something and asked, "By the way, Zuo Zhenren, I don't know if there are people in Nanhua?" ”
Zuo Ci was stunned for a moment and said: "This, Nanhua is the alias of Yu Ji Yu Zhenren......"
"Oh?" A strange thought suddenly popped up in Fei Qian's heart, and he couldn't help but ask, "This...... To a real person, but a person of lust? ”
Zuo Ci looked at Fei Qian, and suddenly felt some palpitations, wondering in his heart, how much does this general of Zhengxi know? However, on the surface, he replied respectfully: "Exactly, Yu Zhenren is a descendant of Semu......"
Since the opening of the Western Regions, there have been a lot of Hu people coming and going, among which the color people are also common, and later there are the Great Qin State, that is, the people of Rome came from the direction of Burma, and also offered music to the emperor, performed magic tricks, changed the body of the living person, changed the head of the cow and horse, anyway, according to the Later Han Dynasty, at least in the Han Dynasty, there were thousands of people who settled in the Han Dynasty, so everything is possible......
Thinking about it, Fei Qian's expression couldn't help but feel a little weird.
That's it......
No wonder Yu Ji and Sun Ce were killed by Sun Ce as soon as they met, this is really ......
Forget it, it's better not to think too much......
