Let's not talk about the long knife, this gourd is what Yuan Dou really values. The first wooden gourd, from which Yuan Dou got a space ring, which made Yuan Dou happy for a long time. And this jade gourd, Yuan Dou is looking forward to it even more.

Along the way, it was non-stop, and before lunch, Yuan Dou rushed back to the martial arts hall. Then Lian Yan and Xinlan ate a few bites hastily under the surprised gaze, and then ran to the kitchen in the backyard. Since it was lunch time, everyone would go to the cafeteria in the front yard to eat, and the kitchen in the backyard was empty. When Yuan Dou came to the kitchen, there was no one.

Subsequently, Yuan Dou concocted the same method, built a stove, and then took out the gourd, put it on the fire, and roasted it.

Lian Yan and Xinlan were very curious when they saw Yuan Dou's hurried move. I didn't care about savoring the delicious food in front of me, and after gobbling it up, I also left the cafeteria and came to the backyard. It took a long time, and finally found Yuan Dou in the kitchen.

Lian Yan walked into the kitchen and saw Yuan Dou making a fire, and a blue gourd was roasting on the fire. Suddenly, Lian Yan's head turned, she remembered something, and asked Yuan Dou, "Yuan Dou, is this the gourd?" ”

Yuan Dou was carefully watching the changes in the gourd at this time, and he didn't notice that someone came in. I was startled when I heard the voice suddenly, but after seeing that it was Lian Yan, I was relieved. Lian Yan looked at Yuan Dou and didn't answer, walked closer, and asked again, "Yuan Dou, is this the gourd from before?" ”

Yuan Dou wasn't quite sure, "Maybe, I think the pattern on it is exactly the same as the previous one." ”

"Really, where did this come from, how can there always be good things for you to encounter, how come I haven't encountered it." Lian Yan said.

Yuan Dou pursed his lips, "This is what I told you about at the auction." Hearing Yuan Dou's implicit complaints, Lian Yan glanced at Yuan Dou and said, "Didn't you go?" ”

"It's not because I didn't go, I asked Long Qiuyu to help me shoot it, and I also took a knife." As he spoke, Yuan Dou took out another box in the ring and handed it to Lian Yan. Xinlan saw that Yuan Dou made something out of nothing, and she didn't know where to conjure things out of curiosity, and circled around Yuan Dou a few times. Seeing Xinlan like this, Yuan Dou smiled, and then grabbed Xinlan. Xinlan saw that Yuan Dou didn't explain, and pouted unhappily.

At this time, Lian Yan opened the box and took out the Onimaru Kunisuna. After looking at it for a while, he looked at Yuan Dou and asked, "This, this is the base material of the armament?" ”

"Otherwise, you think." Yuan Dou said.

Yuan Dou's tone was a little mocking, Lian Yan put the knife back in the box, and then threw it to Yuan Dou, and said angrily, "Yuan Dou, I don't see it, you still hold a grudge." ”

Lian Yan said this, Yuan Dou had no temper and did not refute. won a small victory, Lian Yan said, "Ben Mushroom is very merciful, if there is another auction next time, let you go, it's over, do you need to be cynical?" ”

Yuan Dou didn't care about Lian Yan's arrogant tone and said, "Really? ”

"Of course, unlike you, I'm never a liar." After a pause, "I have one condition, though. ”

"There are still conditions." Yuan Dou said.

"What, don't want to?"

"Yes, yes." Yuan Dou looked at Lian Yan and said, "What conditions, let's talk about it." ”

Lian Yan curled the corners of her mouth and said, "You can go to the auction, but you have to take me with you." At this time, Xinlan jumped next to Yuan Dou and said, "Xinlan wants it too, Xinlan wants it too." Seeing this, Lian Yan said, "No, it's to add us." Lian Yan raised her head and looked at Yuan Dou.

"I don't say that, but if I could, I wouldn't have to take you with me." Yuan Dou said.

During the conversation, a long time had passed, and Yuan Dou had replenished the fuel more than once, but the gourd on the fire had not changed much. Yuan Dou turned his head, looked at Lian Yan, and said, "It doesn't seem to be the gourd I bought last time, so it's useless to do this." Just when Yuan Dou was about to give up, Lian Yan said, "The gourd must be fine, maybe our method is wrong." ”

"Huh?" Yuan Dou was puzzled.

"Think about it, will an ordinary jade gourd not change its color at all when it is roasted on the fire, and it has not become hot at all after being roasted for so long." Lian Yan casually picked up the gourd that had been roasted on the fire for a long time.

"So, the gourd must be fine, but is the method wrong?" Yuan Dou looked at Lian Yan, "Then what method should I use?" ”

"I don't know, but I can try something else." Lian Yan said.

Yuan Dou agreed with Lian Yan, turned off the fire, and returned to his room with the gourd. Then, just like last time, all the eighteen tools came, and they were busy for a long time, but they still didn't work. At this time, Yuan Dou and Lian Yan sat on the sofa, looking at the gourd on the coffee table, they all felt big. They glanced at each other and smiled wryly. The two of them were busy working here, but Xinlan was playing around them with Qiuqiu, very happy, which was completely different from Yuan Dou's depression.

"Is there anything else you can do about that?" Yuan Dou asked.

Lian Yan shook her head, also stumped by this smelly and hard gourd. "I think maybe we didn't find the key, so we couldn't open this gourd." Lian Yan said.

"Isn't that nonsense?" Yuan Dou said angrily.

Lian Yan patted Yuan Dou's head and said, "I mean, you follow the previous gourd and recall what is the same and different from this gourd, so that you can find the key." ”

After listening to Lian Yan's words, Yuan Dou looked at the gourd again. Remembering over and over again, reflecting each other against the appearance in the memory. Yuan Dou turned upside down, looking at it over and over again, except for the color, it seems that even the weight and feel are not noticeable. Yuan Dou reluctantly put it down. Lian Yan asked eagerly, "How is it, did you find anything?" Yuan Dou sighed and said, "I recalled it carefully and found that even the weight and texture are no different. ”

"Ah~" Lian Yan was very surprised, she knew that the first one was a wooden gourd, how could it be the same weight and texture? Obviously, this seems to be a jade texture. Lian Yan thought. "Isn't it any different?" Lian Yan didn't believe it.

Yuan Dou sighed again and said, "No, except for the different colors, everything else is the same." ”

"Is it only different colors, different colors, different colors!" Lian Yan suddenly woke up and looked at Yuan Dou.

Hearing Lian Yan's silent thoughts, Yuan Dou woke up like a dream and looked at Lian Yan. Then the two of them spoke at the same time, "The colors are different!" ”

"Wait, I'll think about it again, no matter what the material of that gourd was last time, but the color seems to be bronze, reddish. And this gourd is blue. What is the use of fire for the red ones, but what is the use of the blue ones? "After clearing the mind, the problem was solved.

"Water !!" Lian Yan and Yuan Dou said together.
