Chapter Twenty-Eight: The Gambling Contract
"Xing'er, when did you come?" Haoyue didn't expect Haoxing to appear at the door, let alone hear about the Lingyun Sword Sect.
"Just now, when the three elders were about to hand me over. With that, he glanced lightly at the three elders not far away.
The third elder shuddered, fearing that these words would arouse Haoyue's disgust again, and he was slightly flustered in his heart.
Just as he was about to argue, the fifth elder preemptively said: "Xing'er, don't be afraid, with me, the elder and your father, no one can hand you over!"
Haoxing shook his head: "Since the person Lingyun Sword Sect wants is me, then why don't I go for it." The eldest husband is alive, and he needs to stand up to the heavens and the earth! How can he be soft for a while, his Lingyun Sword Sect just wants my exercises, and when I cultivate this exercise, I have already prepared for it. How can my Haoxing be at the mercy of its Lingyun Sword Sect?"
"Stinky boy, it's just so small, what kind of husband you pretend to be, and I don't know where you learned it. Your five elders are for your good, don't be unappreciative. The Sixth Elder glanced at Haoxing with disgust.
"Sixth aunt, I'm not unappreciative. It's just that this Lingyun Sword Sect, the Hao family can't deal with it yet, and I don't want to drag the Hao family down. ”
"Hmph, the Hao family can't handle it, can you?" the fifth elder glared at Hao Xing and said reproachfully.
Without warning, Haoxing knelt down towards the five elders.
Not only the five elders, but everyone present showed a surprised expression, only Haoyue was thoughtful.
"Xing'er, what are you doing here? Hurry up! What are you doing when you suddenly kneel down?" the fifth elder looked at Haoxing suspiciously, trying to pull him up.
"Fifth Elder, although I have always called you Elder, I have always regarded you as my grandfather in my heart. Since I was a child, except for my parents and sixth aunt, you have always been good to me. I've long regarded you as my grandfather, but I'm afraid that you won't recognize me as a grandson. But today, seeing everything you have done for me, Xing'er said cheekily, please agree to be my grandfather! I don't think my father will object. Haoxing said and looked at Haoyue, but Haoyue smiled and nodded.
"Silly boy, how could Grandpa not agree? Hurry up, Grandpa promises, Grandpa agrees!" The five elders burst into tears and wanted to pull up Haoxing. In fact, the five elders have always regarded Haoxing as their grandson, but because Haoxing is the son of the head of the family, it is difficult to bring it up, but today he has fulfilled his wish.
Haoxing smiled when he heard the words and stood up.
As soon as the fifth elder was about to speak, he began to tremble all over his body and cough violently.
Haoyue hurriedly walked over, supported the five elders, took out a jade-colored porcelain bottle, poured out two grains and handed them to the five elders.
The fifth elder waved his hand and said, "This Jade Luo Ning Han Pill has no effect, so it's okay if you don't accept it." ”
"But, you're ...... sick."
Haoxing's eyes froze, there seemed to be anger in his eyes, and he said, "Fifth Grandpa, who gave you the cold Gu?"
As soon as these words fell, the five elders' eyes shrank, and they were very surprised.
"Haoxing, don't talk nonsense, your fifth grandfather is suffering from a cold disease, but it's just more serious. The second elder reminded loudly, afraid that Haoxing would make a joke of nonsense again. It's just that this Haoxing, who is quite clever on weekdays, has become so unwise in the past two days, and even a little arrogant.
Haoxing sneered and shook his head, his eyes full of disdain: "Cold disease, who said that?"
"Naturally, it's Honghui, the second-grade alchemist in Kurosawa City, how can I invite a first-grade alchemist to see a doctor in my Hao family?" the third elder said first, and sneered, his eyes full of mockery.
"Hmph, Honghui, is that second-grade alchemist who has helped me see a doctor several times but couldn't find the slightest cause?" Haoxing's disdain became even stronger.
The third elder got up suddenly, and was about to reprimand Hao Xing for not knowing the etiquette, but looked at Hao Yue, but sat down again. Just squeaked the armrests of the chair with both hands, and the flesh on his body was shaking.
"What, there's nothing to say? Hmph, cold disease, it's just a quack! Yuluo Ning Han Pill just condenses the cold qi but does not discharge it in time, but instead gathers in the body, but aggravates the patient's condition, I am afraid that this is just an excuse for my own incompetence. ”
Haoyue also felt that Haoxing's move was inappropriate, and said: "Xing'er, speak in a measured manner." Although Honghui didn't cure your illness back then, he is a second-grade alchemist after all, and he is famous, so it is really not worth considering. ”
Seeing this, the third elder hurriedly interjected: "That's it, what the head of the family said is extremely true. I wanted to take a picture of Haoyue's sycophants, so that I could get back to the field by the way, but the next words made him dumbfounded.
"Xing'er, how do you know that I am a Han Gu?" the Fifth Elder said in a low voice, this Han Gu was caused by the enemy when he went out to wander back then, because he caused some trouble. I did find a third-grade alchemist back then, but I also returned in vain. It's normal that this second-grade alchemist in Kurosawa City can't see it, and he has already given up. After all, the fourth-grade alchemist can't be invited, but I don't know how Xing'er knows.
Hearing this, the third elder shrunk his neck, and finally wanted to pat a horse's ass, but ended up patting the horse's hooves.
Haoxing said: "Actually, this is also simple, every time the fifth grandfather has developed a disease over the years, his eyebrows are frosty, and his whole body trembles. Let's ask how the fifth grandfather is afraid of ordinary cold diseases with at least nine levels of cultivation. Looking at his expression, the clenching between his teeth must be unbearable, and the onset is in the cold day. Those who meet these conditions must have fallen into the cold Gu!"
The Fifth Elder smiled: "Xing'er is so smart! I guess I happened to see the relevant books recently, right? Otherwise, how could I not have known before." ”
Haoxing smiled, in fact, these are all things that Yun Lao said secretly, in his words: "This little old man is righteous, look at him pleasing to the eye, make an exception to help him once." ”
The fifth elder continued: "Is there any way that Xing'er can do?" In fact, he just said casually, although he was very willing to believe Xing'er, he didn't think that what the third-grade alchemist couldn't do, Haoxing, a ten-year-old child, could do it well.
Haoxing pondered for a moment and said, "Actually, it's not difficult, I can refine a second-grade Fire Spirit Pill to expel the cold Gu for the fifth grandfather." ”
"Hahahaha, it's just arrogant! Can you do alchemy? Or is it a second-grade alchemist? Even if you really are, a problem that a third-grade alchemist can't solve, can you solve it?" the third elder finally couldn't help but say, completely forgetting his situation.
Haoyue didn't care, just frowned and said to Haoxing: "Xing'er, do you know what you're talking about?"
Although many things have happened recently, which may have made Haoxing change somewhat, Haoyue didn't expect Haoxing to become so frivolous, and even really brought a touch of arrogance. Although the cultivation method does not come from nowhere, it may be transmitted by Long Qin, but it is inconvenient to make a noise. And how can this refining of a second-grade pill be able to be refined by a ten-year-old child?
"Dad, I know what you think, but I hope you can believe me. I'm Haoxing, it's not the same as before! The other three elders, don't you believe it, do you? Then let's make a bet that you will be the head of your father in the future, and if you can't do it, you will be fined for three years. Are you willing to gamble?" Haoxing finished speaking, looking at the third elder quietly, waiting for his reply.
"Then what if you lose?" the third elder sneered.
"I lost, kneeling down and admitting my mistake, I will see you take a detour from now on!" Haoxing snorted, disapproving.
"Okay, I'm betting! It's just that the head of the family may not be able to agree to this bet, right?" the third elder looked at Hao Yue and said with a smile.
"Daddy!"
"I agree, everyone here can testify to this bet!" In fact, Haoyue also has his own plans, although Haoxing is only ten years old now, he must be responsible for doing things and be responsible for what he has said!
"Thank you, Dad!"
"Family Master, how can you let Xing'er mess around!" the Fifth Elder said, looking not very happy.
Haoyue said: "Fifth uncle, since Xing'er has called you grandpa, you can call me Yue'er." Since Xing'er is sure of this, why not let him try? Are there still fewer strange things that have happened to him over the years?"
"But ......"
"Fifth Grandpa, don't worry, the first gift I gave you today is the Fire Spirit Pill!" Haoxing's face was resolute and full of confidence, which made people unquestionable.
The Fifth Elder nodded and said with a smile, "Okay, it's up to you."
Haoxing smiled and said, "Dad, I need some gold coins to buy some spirit grass, as well as the Dan furnace needed for alchemy." I made a rough estimate that it would cost about 37,000 gold coins. Rest assured, I will be able to return it to you soon. ”
Hao Yue shook his head with a smile and said, "Just say what you need, as long as you can cure your fifth grandfather's illness, what is in the Hao family's treasury, you can use it! These are simply insignificant compared to the contributions made by your fifth grandfather and your fifth grandfather's family to the family." Elders, do you say yes?" he said, looking around, wondering who else had something to say.
But at this time, who dares to touch Haoyue's moldy head?
Haoxing nodded and said, "Then, I'll start talking." Three second-order fire spirit grasses, one second-order fire spirit mushroom, one second-order fire lotus, nine drops of golden yang water, ten purple tobacco seeds, and one penny of hundred-year-old rejuvenation wood......"
Haoxing reported a series of more than a dozen kinds of medicinal materials, several of which are very obscure, and people who are not familiar with medicinal materials will not know about them, and there is one that is unheard of.
Everyone's opinion of Haoxing has changed slightly, and in terms of familiarity with medicinal materials alone, Haoxing has already surpassed some of the people present.
Haoyue didn't speak, closed his eyes, and seemed to be thinking about something. Everyone was silent, wanting to see what Haoyue was going to say.
"Xing'er, can you answer me a few questions first?"
Haoxing nodded again and said, "Well, Dad, you say." ”
"The dozen or so spirit grasses you mentioned, except for the Golden Yang Water and Fire Spirit Grass, which I don't have in my Hao family's warehouse, the others should be able to get together. As for the alchemy furnace, it happened that not long ago there was a girl who was eating in the city and forgot to bring the food money. I happened to pass by, and I thought the little girl was very cute, and I couldn't bear to let him be detained by the shopkeeper, so I settled the bill for her. Unexpectedly, she gave me an alchemy furnace, and I didn't know how to make alchemy, so I put it in the Haojia warehouse. When you mention it today, I think about it. ”
"I have the Fire Spirit Grass. The Fifth Elder took out the Fire Spirit Grass from the box he carried, and as soon as the box was opened, the Fifth Elder's face became much more ruddy, and then he smiled and said, "The Fire Spirit Grass that Xing'er gave me is quite effective, and it can be used today." ”
"What is the Golden Yang Water?" Hao Yue asked again.
Haoxing smiled: "Dad, in fact, Jinyang water is just the dew condensed when the sun shines at noon." ”
"Is there dew at noon?
