Chapter 84: The Boom in the City
Come out of Bai Changqi's place.
Wang Shouye originally wanted to call Ma Gui and go directly to the restaurant for a banquet, but when he arrived at the door of the duty room, he greeted Shen Changfu.
But it turned out that the big pot of 'sweet water' was boiled until now, and it was finally boiled dry.
Because Wang Shouye had already confessed, even though he was close to dispersing, Shen Changfu still hurried to report it.
Tong Magui explained, and as Shen Changfu hurried to the west courtyard, he saw that the cauldron in the corner of the wall was still steaming, obviously not long after the fire was turned off.
Leaning over to look into the pot, he found a milky white translucent gel lying at the bottom of the pot, about the size of a fried egg.
Wang Shouye asked the brocade guard guarding the stove for a long-handled shovel for stir-frying, and carefully shoveled up the gelatinous object, wanting to get closer to see what was going on.
But as soon as he fished things out of the pot, a strong fishy sweet smell rushed to his nostrils, and Wang Shouye, who was choking, had black eyes and staggered under his feet, and he almost fell into the pot.
Airplanes~
At the critical moment, it was the protective film that reacted in time, allowing Wang Shouye to escape again.
Saying......
It seems that as long as the Qingming Spiritual Eye is activated, this active anti-addiction function does not seem to work - it seems that in the case of uncertain safety, this Qingming Spiritual Eye should still be used as little as possible.
He threw the shovel back into the iron pot along with the gelatinous matter, and ordered someone to fetch well water and drink and wash it, and finally the fishy sweet smell was cleared.
Wang Shouye didn't dare to fish for the gum again, but called the Jinyi guard who was in charge of guarding the stove and asked him if anything unusual had happened when he was boiling water.
The brocade guard heard Wang Shouye ask about the abnormality, and immediately nodded and said, "It's really a little weird!" At first, when boiling, there was still a sweet smell, but then it gradually faded - the villain was strange, so he lay on the edge of the pot and sniffed carefully, but the pot was so sweet that he was really tired of it! ”
"But the strange thing is that as long as you don't lie on the edge of the pot, you can't smell the sweetness at all."
It's also a shame that he sniffed it in the morning, and if it was afternoon, maybe he would have to take his life in.
After hearing these words, Wang Shouye turned around the simple stove three times, and saw that the pot was ordinary no matter how it looked, and it didn't seem to be a little strange.
Obviously, what keeps the taste from leaking out should be the effect of the 'sweet water' itself.
I don't know how it works, but at least I can be sure that it doesn't affect the surrounding area during the boiling process.
Picking up the shovel again, Wang Shouye didn't dare to fish out the gelatinous matter, but tried to use a shovel to cut it in half from the middle.
The touch of this Q bomb is a bit like gummies.
There are no impurities inside, and the whole is fresh and milky, if you haven't smelled its fishy sweet taste just now, it looks quite stimulating the taste buds.
After fiddling with it for a few moments, Wang Shouye threw away the shovel again, turned his head and ordered: "Stir it up with a shovel, and feed it to those beasts - remember to bring a mask when the time comes, and try not to smell the smell it emits." ”
Seeing that although Shen Changfu was submissive, he didn't seem to take it too seriously, Wang Shouye added: "The smell of this thing seems to be poisonous, and the official was almost fainted by the poison just now." ”
Shen Changfu became solemn at this time, and then carefully asked: "My lord, how much is appropriate to feed this time?" ”
Wang Shouye looked at the size of the iron pot, and made a rough estimate in his heart, and then said: "Step by step, start feeding with the size of a grain of rice, and if there is no abnormality after feeding three times, then double the dosage - these are afraid that they will not be enough, you let people set up a few more pots, and Ming'er will boil out more." ”
The fishy sweetness emitted by this gelatinous substance, since it can trigger the protective film, it must also have something strange in itself.
However, the miracle of this thing may not be revealed by feeding poultry and livestock, but Wang Shouye has not yet come up with other test methods for a while, so he can only follow the old routine for the time being.
…………
Arrange the task for Shen Changfu.
Wang Shouye turned back to the East Cross Courtyard and called Ma Gui to leave the yamen together.
Because it was a private matter, it was difficult to use the horses and vehicles in the yamen, and Wang Shouye himself did not buy a mount for transportation.
Fortunately, the agreed place was not far away, and the two simply walked in a car, along the big market street all the way to the east, and rushed to the Cuiyun Building near the left of Chaoyang Gate.
Although Wang Shouye walked back and forth between his home and the yamen every morning and evening, he was busy with official business, and secondly, he was worried about the Arhat Fu Seal, so that he was in a hurry and had no intention of taking care of it.
Today, after being reminded by Zhou Wusheng, Wang Shouye carefully observed along the way and found that this city had indeed set off a frenzy of cultivating immortals and seeking Taoism, participating in Zen and worshipping Buddha.
The bookstore on the side of the road either said that so-and-so Buddhist scriptures had been collected, or marked that the sutra had been marked with new goods.
The literati who came in and out were holding not the nine Taoist classics, the three Tibets and the twelve books of Buddhism, and occasionally some vernacular novels of gods and ghosts.
Even the storytellers in the teahouse and restaurant mostly tell the stories of becoming immortals and attaining Taoism, and a few simply recite the classics of Buddhism and Taoism.
In fact, just the matter of the monk's path crossing the catastrophe may not be able to cause such a big storm.
The main reason is that the auspicious rays have appeared in the past six months, as well as the ghost finger disease that ravaged the capital a few days ago, so that the people in the capital have become more and more convinced of the ghosts and gods.
With these foreshadowing, coupled with Zhang Guoyan's accidental inaccession, he used the 'immortal method' of resurrection in public, and it is no wonder that it will attract a national upsurge.
Seeing that Wang Shouye had been paying attention to the streets and alleys, those fanatics who were obsessed with immortals and Buddhas, Ma Gui couldn't help but be worried: "Brother, you said that the streets are all learning Buddhism and Taoism, what kind of festival will there be next time, will many people die at once?" ”
Hey?
That's a big problem!
During the Jiajing period, the permanent population of the capital was as high as one million, and the number of people from all over the world who did not have a 'local hukou' was also more than one million.
Don't go too far, even if there is only a 1 in 10,000 chance of crossing, it will be hundreds of casualties.
If it's one in a thousand......
At that time, the collection of relics and the search for those who have successfully crossed the catastrophe will increase tenfold and hundredfold, and it is inevitable that there will be exiles among the people during this period......
This must be prevented!
But what should be done, should we prohibit people from talking about Buddhism and Taoism in the name of the government?
discussed a few words with Ma Gui, but there was still no charter to speak of, so Wang Shouye simply suggested that he mention the matter at tomorrow's morning meeting to see if Zhang Siwei and others could come up with a solution.
As he spoke, he saw that the guise of the Cuiyun Building was waving in the wind not far in front, and there were also a few white arms on the balcony on the second floor.
Tut~
It seems that I am still drinking flower wine today.
Wang Shouye's eyes were swirling on those white arms, and he heard someone in front of him laughing heartily: "Brother Chongzhi, you can be regarded as here!" ”
Wang Shouye was busy following the prestige, and saw a round-faced man who was not tall, and he was walking quickly to meet him.
Belch~
This Li Chengliang's appearance seems to be much worse than imagined.
[There are two more, and the third one is estimated to be over 12 o'clock.] 】
