Chapter 902: Miao Village
After staying in Wuzhong for seven or eight days, the emperor set out to set out, crossed Zhejiang and Hangzhou, visited the West Lake and the willow embankment again, and then turned to the southwest to inspect the land of Wuling, stopping meals and sleeping in the open air along the way to Changsha County.
Changsha County is located at the boundary of the Yangtze River water system and the Pearl River water system, bounded by the Yuecheng Mountains, the south is the territory of the Yue people, and the north is the territory of the Great Qin, but at present, with the encroachment policy has been implemented for almost two years, the south of the five mountains has already been attacked by a group of officials, criminals and recruited rangers who have made meritorious contributions. Therefore, there are a large number of caravans to and from the Wuling border pass for a long time, in addition to transporting a large number of exquisite pottery cloth from the Central Plains to Lingnan and trading with the locals, it also brought a large number of advanced agricultural civilization experience in the Central Plains, with the cooperation of local officials, many Yue people began to learn to cultivate and plant rice, so there are caravans coming and going every day at the Wuling border pass, especially some passes have formed a new trading market, which looks very lively and prosperous.
The southwest of Changsha County is Qianzhong County, where the mountains are high and the forests are dense and the rivers are everywhere, and all kinds of precious medicinal materials are abundant here, so a large number of medicinal material merchants gather at the junction of Qianzhong and Changsha County to purchase medicinal materials and send them to the Central Plains for sale.
After inspecting the five mountains, the first emperor's southeast tour was basically completed, and then changed to a boat to go north along the Xiangjiang River, and the route of the cruise three years ago was just the opposite route to prepare for Dongting to Yiling, and then return to Xianyang on Wuguan Road, which is expected to be almost in the autumn season.
Changsha County is a gathering area of Miao people since ancient times, there are a large number of Miao people living here, Miao people are the descendants of Jiuli, respect the great god of Chi You, after the death of Chi You, Jiuli in the process of being chased and killed by the Yellow Emperor tribe continued to migrate to the south to escape, and finally settled near Dongting, there are three major tribes, so Dongting is also called the land of three Miao.
Although the development of Sanmiao to the north was blocked, it was still a strong rival of the Huaxia Group in the Yao, Shun and Yu periods. Yao once fought with Sanmiao in the Danshui area, and exiled some of his people to Sanwei, Shun also divided and migrated Sanmiao, and finally died in Cangwu due to the southern expedition to Sanmiao, and even the bones were not returned. Therefore, Yu had to conquer the three seedlings again, and took advantage of natural disasters and man-made disasters to come to the three seedlings at the same time, and defeated the seedling division, and the three seedlings have declined since then.
These are now ancient things, after thousands of years of continuous integration of the Shang and Zhou dynasties, the land of the three seedlings has long been integrated with China, becoming a line of China, but the living habits of the Miao people and the Central Plains are still very different, not only the language and the Central Plains civilization are different, the inheritance of witch doctors and Central Plains doctors are also very different.
The Central Plains medical technique originated from the Yellow Emperor, with the Yellow Emperor's internal and external meridians as the core, distinguishing yin and yang, using the qi and blood meridians as the means of syndrome differentiation and treatment, and using the technique of looking, hearing, asking and cutting, and gradually developing the theory of the five elements of mutual restraint for the application of medicinal materials, forming a roughly mature theoretical system, believing that the core of treatment is to pass through the channels in order to smooth the flow of qi and blood.
They believe that the sun, moon, cold, heat, wind, frost, rain, dew, fog can brew wind poison, gas poison, water poison, cold poison, fire poison and other poisonous gases to invade the human body and cause disease, so the core of Miao medicine is to dispel poison.
In the Miao family's view, poison is the root of all diseases, so their witch doctors are good at studying poisons such as various poisonous insects and poisonous weeds, and then use various herbs and even the principle of toxicity to treat various diseases.
There is an unnamed mountain in the southwest of Dongting, where a Miao tribe gathers, although the Miao people have now been under the rule of the Great Qin, but the living habits are still to the village as a gathering place, distinguish different tribes and bloodlines from each other, plant rice, weave cloth and hunt, and live a very primitive farming life.
In this Miao village, there is now a group of Fang family warlocks from the Central Plains, as well as many Miao witches from Bashu and Guizhou.
A very magical medicine is being developed here, and legend has it that it is known that an ancient Miao recipe of Qinghehou, a disciple of the Immortal Family, can be refined with a variety of poisonous insects and poisonous herbs to make a domineering and exciting potion, which can greatly boost the male masculine power after drinking.
Of course, these are all legends, although there are some rumors among the Miao people, but after all, there are not too many people who have seen it, and can only see a group of Fangshi and Miao Wu from the Central Plains gathered in a camp in the mountains all day long to tinker, and this group of people buy a large number of poisonous insects, poisonous weeds and poisonous mushrooms all year round, because of the rich remuneration, the local Miao and mountain people have made a fortune, and every day someone sends the collected poison to the camp in exchange for a lot of money.
The camp was surrounded by a fence more than two meters high, and there were not only five or three thick guards at the door, but also guards patrolling on horseback every day, and all snoopers would be beaten and driven away, and the local Miao leaders repeatedly warned the villagers not to approach the camp.
The camp covers an area of only more than ten acres, there are seven or eight stilted buildings with bamboo and wood structures built in it, and there are all kinds of herbs and poisonous insects and mushrooms that are dried in the yard all the year round, and a very pungent smell can be smelled from a long distance.
In the largest building on stilts in the middle, there are all kinds of large and small jars and cages in the room, which serve poisons, scorpions, centipedes, spiders, poisonous snakes, colorful and fluffy crawling around, just looking at it is creepy.
A group of alchemists in big white coats and Miao Wu spent the day in the room ping-pong, boiling strange pungent potions in transparent glass jars and pots and pans, which smelled disgusting, but these people seemed to be at ease without the slightest discomfort.
In another two-story wooden building in the camp, the ground on the second floor was covered with soft straw mats, a middle-aged man with a naked head wrapped in a cloth towel and five or six naked Miao women were upside down, one after another wheezing and moaning lasted for two hours, several women were all sweating profusely lying on the straw mat and could not move, and the big man was still a little unsatisfied, and finally put on his clothes with a little regret and went downstairs with excitement on his face.
"How does Lord Liuzhai feel this time?" An old man in a white coat, with a ruddy face and snow-white hair like an old fairy, was sitting downstairs drinking tea, looking complacent, and there were two fifteen or sixteen-year-old Miao girls waiting next to him.
"The old fairy's medicine this time is very good, I don't feel the slightest discomfort, and I feel energetic that I can seven or eight!"
The middle-aged man sat down with a very excited and satisfied butt with a short hexagram, stretched out his hand and hugged a serving girl in his arms, and reached into the girl's short skirt and pinched it.
"It seems that after almost two years of research and development, the improvement of this Five Poisons Soul Water has fully met the requirements of Lord Hou, and I would like to thank the owner of Liuzhai for his strong support all the time!" The old man put down his teacup and said with a smile.
"Haha, it's okay, it's okay, the owner of this village also wants to thank the old fairy and the Qinghe Hou for giving us such a good immortal elixir, and the next time I have the opportunity to go to Xianyang, I must thank Hou Ye in person, and give Hou Ye a few of the most beautiful girls in Miao Village!"
"I'm afraid it's a little difficult to see the Marquis of Qinghe, but Lao Er will tell the Marquis of Qinghe about the gratitude of the lord of Liuzhai, and the Hou Ye will definitely reward some porcelain glass and Qinghe wine!"
Dahan trembled excitedly and hurriedly saluted and said, "Then thank you to the old fairy!" ”
"Since the potion has been successfully developed, Lao Er is also ready to leave for Xianyang to hand over to the Hou Ye, here for the time being, I will ask the lord of Liuzhai to help take care of it, and at the same time, I will also collect a large number of poisonous insects and poisonous weeds for refining the potion, and the money required Qinghe Hou will definitely not lack your ......."
"Money doesn't matter, just give Qinghe Hou more porcelain, glass and wine!" Dahan hurriedly waved his hand and said.
"Hehe, since the lord of Liuzhai likes these things so much, Qinghehou will definitely not be stingy, after the old man leaves, please also ask the owner of the village to restrain the witch doctor of Miao Village not to take the potion out, as for the formula, it can't be spread, otherwise Qinghehou will blame it, and you and I can't afford to eat it!"
"Know, know, old fairy, please rest assured, we are safe here!" The middle-aged man nodded hurriedly.
While the two were talking, in the rugged dense forest outside the camp, a young man with a hat and a cloth coat rode over, and several guards guarding the door saw the young man, and they all hurriedly bowed and opened the gate, and the young man nodded slightly and then entered the camp and went straight to one of the wooden houses to dismount, and then strode in.
In the room, there was an old-faced Miao Wu, who was repeatedly inspecting the dried poisonous weeds and poisonous mushrooms, and a middle-aged man in a cloth suit was helping out.
Hearing the sound of footsteps, the middle-aged man turned around, revealing a sparse face, his nose collapsed, his lips were open and rolled, one eye socket was deeply sunken, and even half of his ear was missing, and the situation looked extremely terrifying.
"You come out, I have something for you to do!" The young man said hello and exited the room, and the middle-aged man with a terrifying face put down the jar in his hand and limped out.
The two walked to a secluded place one after the other, and the young man looked at no one around, so he lowered his voice and said: "Zhao Gao, what are you going to do, I have already found out the news, the emperor has arrived in Changsha County on his tour of the southeast, and he will arrive at Dongting in three days at most." ”
A glimmer of brilliance flashed in the middle-aged man's single eye, and he lowered his head slightly, and after being silent for a long time, he said in a hoarse voice: "I naturally won't shirk Li Xiang's arrangement, this may be my only chance to take revenge, but the potions are all in the hands of Zheng Boqiao, and if I can't get the potion, I can't get close to the emperor......"
"I'll figure out a way to do this, but I want to warn you, once you leak out and are chased and killed, I won't help you, and I will even be the first to kill you!" The young man interrupted Zhao Gao's words and warned viciously.
"Okay, as long as you can let me get the potion that has been successfully developed, I will find a way to escape, no matter whether I live or die, I will not involve you, let alone Li Xiang!" Zhao Gao clenched his fists tightly, and a touch of yin flashed in his eyes.
"In the evening, the guards in the village will take turns to eat, Zheng Boqiao, Song Wuji and others will also go to rest, only me and another guard will guard the warehouse, and I will give you the opportunity to enter the warehouse at that time!"
"Don't worry, I'll do everything according to your arrangement!" Zhao Gao nodded.
"That's good, wait for my news near the storeroom at sunset!" The young man finished speaking and turned to leave.
Looking at the young man's back, Zhao Gao's cheeks, which could barely see his facial features, twitched violently a few times, and then turned around and limped away, carrying a bamboo dustpan drying in the garden into Fang Cai's wooden house. ()
