Chapter 137: Tai Sui
How could I not know?
The Book of Mountains and Seas says: Tai Sui, also known as meat Ganoderma lucidum, gathering meat, seeing meat, sealing.
It's a big lump of meat hidden in the soil.
In the "Compendium of Materia Medica", it is said that it is the top grade of the scriptures, and it is light and ageless after eating for a long time, and it is immortal for longevity. It is a health delicacy of ancient emperors. Tai Sui is very rare and is the top grade of the hundred medicines. According to the classics, Tai Sui is flat, bitter, non-toxic, and has the ability to nourish the spleen and lungs, and nourish the kidneys and liver.
Metaphysical books say that Tai Sui is also called Sui Xing.
This year is a malevolent star, and whenever it appears, it is a time of great chaos in the world. The star of the year is the star in the sky, and the star is Tai Sui on the earth.
Whoever eats this thing can live forever.
In the online drama Soul Ferry, there is a story of eating Tai Sui and becoming an immortal monster.
But Tai Sui, in fact, there are many kinds.
Specifically, there are two kinds, one is called Changsheng Tai Sui, and the other is called Death Tai Sui.
They are all as their name suggests, one can live forever and prolong life after eating. Not to mention eating, even a little bit will die without a whole body.
So since ancient times, many people have not understood the difference between the immortal Tai Sui and the death of the Tai Sui.
They only know that Tai Sui can prolong life and live forever if he eats it.
I'd rather spend my effort and scatter all my wealth than find a Tai Sui to taste.
It's a pity that Changsheng Tai Sui is too rare, and many people find Die Tai Sui. After eating it for a while, it turned into pus and blood, and there was not even a bone left.
When I was a child, Master and I went out on a wandering, and I encountered an incident about the death of Tai Sui.
One day, Master and I went to the border of Jinju, which is very close to Shandong, and it is a village with jujube trees, and the village has red walls and yellow tiles, and it looks very wealthy.
Master took me as if I wanted to go in and beg for a drink.
As soon as he heard what the master said, he immediately waved at us fiercely: "No, no, go quickly." You're welcome not to go, be careful that I let the dog bite you. β
The master glanced at the man's face, and not only was he not angry, but said to the man with kind words: "My little apprentice and I will go to the village chief's house for two days, and if you have anything to do in these two days, you can come to the village chief's house to find me." β
"Go, go!"
When the man saw the master like this, he became even more impatient, and waved his hand vigorously to drive him out: "What can I do?" Young Master Ben has been in good spirits on happy occasions recently, what do you say about Nima's bad words? Look at you like this, chattering like a Tang monk, if you don't leave, I'll really let the dog go? β
As soon as the words fell, a big yellow and black-backed wolf dog tied under their jujube tree jumped up very cooperatively, and barked at us a few times viciously, looking at its momentum, eager to break free from the chain and tear us to pieces.
I hurriedly dragged Master away.
Later, we actually stayed at the village chief's house, and it turned out that the village chief was an old friend of the master, and the master had saved his life before, and he became old friends with the master.
That night, the village chief's daughter-in-law prepared dinner, and when she saw that we were from the south, she specially prepared a hot pot.
Lamb soup base.
The white and rich mutton soup was so fragrant that a person outside smelled it and came in: "Yo! Chief! Why is your family ready to eat? β
When the chief of the village saw that the man who had come was a mason from the village, and that he was carrying a clay pot in his hand, which they had used to hold old wine, he beckoned him to eat with him.
The mason waved his hand: "No, no, don't look at me carrying a wine jar, thinking I'm here to eat and drink." Actually, I'm here to call you, Chen Si'er and their family made good things tonight, please go and eat, I came to call you. β
The village chief heard a strange thing: "What good things can this Chen Sijia have?" β
But the mason said, "It is a treasure dug up in the mountains, but it is precious." Village chief, whether you go or not, no matter how late it is, there will be no more. β
The village chief waved his hand and said that he had a guest and would not go.
The mason didn't give up, so let the lady go with him, right? In short, Chen Si said that the people in the village used to be good to him, but now that he has good things, everyone has a share. Tell Madame to go, and I'll pack some for you and bring you back later.
The village chief's wife didn't go either, saying that she had guests here and couldn't leave.
The mason left with a regretful face, saying that such a good thing and the village chief's family would not be blessed! If you don't go today, you'll be nothing tomorrow.
The village chief didn't pay attention to them at the time.
Unexpectedly, early the next morning, there was bad news in the village.
Chen Si's family is dead.
All the people who ate at Chen Si's house yesterday died, including Chen Si himself.
The village chief was frightened and hurried over to see.
Master and I also wondered, how could we die after eating a good meal? Could it be that there is a problem with eating Dong and accidentally picking up poisonous mushrooms?
Who knew that when I went to Chen Si's house, where was there a corpse on the ground?
It's all puddles of pus, and they're all in human form.
There was also a pot on the table in the center of the room, and in the consommΓ© there were some white things, like slices of meat and slices of radish.
The master went up and picked it up with chopsticks and took a look, and immediately understood something.
The village chief took people to Chen Si's house and saw no one, and there were still pools of blood on the ground, so he hurriedly asked the person who came to report the news in a panic: "What about them?" β
But the man said: "On the ground, when I passed by their yard in the morning, I saw that the courtyard door was wide open, and their dog was gone, and there was only a pool of blood under the jujube tree where the dog was usually leashed. I hurried to call the village chief, but now... Now that the ground has become like this, I guess this blood is what Chen Si and them became, right? β
"Ridiculous!"
When the village chief heard this, he was furious: "Where is the truth that people turn into blood? Besides, it's only a short time. Could it be that they have just evaporated from the world? β
The master was looking at the slices of meat in the cold pot non-stop, and when he heard what the village chief said, he hurriedly said, "Village chief, don't scold them. He didn't tell a lie, it's true. β
Seeing that the master had said this, the village chief hurriedly asked, "What do you say?" β
The master sandwiched one of the pieces of white meat in front of the village chief: "This is called Tai Sui meat, and it is something dug out of the soil. It is said that people can live forever if they eat it. β
The village chief was shocked: "That...... So how did they die? β
"It's a pity,"
Master said, "They are eating Death Tai Sui, which is as its name suggests, and if you eat it, you will die immediately, and then it will turn into blood and pus. What can make people immortal is Changsheng Tai Sui. β
The village chief was frightened and hurriedly grabbed the person who reported the news and asked, "How did they eat this thing?" β
The man was also frightened by the pus and blood on the ground, and said tremblingly: "Village.... Village Chief, did you forget? Did Chen Si invite the whole village to his house for dinner yesterday? β
