The location of this temple was too remote, so Hua Bo asked the two monks Zhiguang Zhijing to return to Shache with Da Zhuang to buy some medicinal herbs and accompanying items.

This back and forth plus seven or eight days of shopping is enough, but they used it for half a month, but everyone was in a hurry, and when he came back, he only said that the herbs in the Western Regions were not easy to buy, and it took a long time to get them, and it was estimated that they bought everything that should have been bought, and Hua Bo didn't blame him.

These days, Hua Bo has to change the medicine for Monk Zhiping every day, and flip through medical books to find a way to suppress the disease. But half a month has passed, Zhiping's wounds have healed, but the hysteria of losing his soul is getting worse and worse, talking nonsense all day long, clamoring that he is going to catch fire and is about to be burned to death, but his body is as cold as a corpse.

I heard Hua Bo say that this is called yin fire attacking the heart and messing up the mind. Seeing that the frequency of the patient's illness has become more and more frequent in the past few days, Hua Bo thought about it for a long time, and finally could only come up with a way to temporarily alleviate the condition - ginger juice.

This ginger has the effect of yang, and it has many effects, which can be published, disperse cold, sweat, detoxify, remove dampness and cold, and can also clear the spirits and ward off evil spirits, through the observation of Monk Zhiping in the past few days, it can be speculated that ginger juice has a certain restraint effect on the ghost wolf, so Hua Bo asked me to boil more ginger juice and bring it with me.

That night, I boiled the last pot of ginger juice, poured it into the water bladder, sorted out the results of the past few days, and poured a total of 14 ginger sacs, not to mention a hundred and ten pounds, each person had to carry at least two, which should be enough.

The taste of the fresh ginger juice is so spicy that you have to keep it outside in a ventilated and cool place. I went out and walked around but couldn't find any suitable position, and just as I couldn't make up my mind, I raised my eyes and saw a five-needle pine in the courtyard, which flew up the tree and hung the ginger sac on the tree.

After hanging it, I was about to come down from the tree, when I suddenly caught a glimpse of something black moving in the northwest corner of the temple, it was a hidden corner, a small gap of three or four feet wide between the courtyard wall and the meditation room, and it was only at this angle on the tree that I could see it, but unfortunately it was too dark to see what it was.

Could it be that the ghost wolf has reappeared? The first thing that came to my mind was this. So I raised twelve points of vigilance, my heart was almost to my throat, if this ginger juice could really restrain it, it would be considered unlucky today, thinking of this, I quietly took off a bag of ginger juice, jumped from the tree and jumped onto the courtyard wall.

Along the wall, I timidly approached the target, and vaguely saw that the thing was still moving, and I didn't dare to breathe, so I finally rubbed it closer to take a look.

I heard Bai Huo, whose eyebrows fluttered: "Uh... Belch... Brother, the things that my brother and I brought back this time can be regarded as the best goods in the Western Regions, you can choose whatever you want, just shoot your arrows, the main thing is to tell me about the essentials, you can also see that my brother is talented and intelligent, and he can understand it at all. "I was chewing on something as I spoke.

Another replied, "Put... Don't worry, it's all my own brothers, and this matter is on me. ”

As soon as I heard the sound, I knew that it was Da Zhuang and Shunzi, the two of them seemed to be looking at something seriously, and they didn't notice that I had reached the top of their brains, and when I looked down, I saw that there was a hemp cloth bag below, which contained several sharp weapons, including a waist knife used by the Hu people, a dagger, a half-moon bow, and the latest thing was a "black iron snake", take a closer look, I heard Uncle Zhang Jing say that this thing is called' At first glance, it is a black iron chain that is three feet long, but the doorway is on the head, the front end hides a face-sized eagle claw, the grappling hook is sharp, the person who uses it only needs to hold the chain to throw out the grappling hook, this flying claw will catch what will be hooked on it, if you catch people and animals, pull hard, it is even a large piece of belt meat, most of the people who use this kind of guy are some ruthless and unpopular Jianghu strangers, I just saw the pattern of this thing in Uncle Zhang Jing's blacksmith shop before, I heard Uncle Zhang Jing say that this thing was originally used to sneak attack the cavalry horses in front of the two armies, and later I heard that it was a eunuch next to Emperor ChengIn order to prevent the emperor from being injured by fierce beasts while hunting, he ingeniously changed it to the current appearance. What's strange is that this hundred refining rope is rare even in the Central Plains, not to mention in this remote Western Regions, how can it easily reach Da Zhuang's hands?

The two of them crouched beside each other, fiddling with their swords and munching on dried lamb, not noticing that I was on top of their heads.

I immediately understood, no wonder it took so long for Da Zhuang to go back and forth to Shache, it turned out that he secretly brought back so many iron tools, just say that this hundred refining ropes, that is not ordinary swords, even if it is a clever blacksmith, it takes half a month to build a pair, to calculate it only takes half a month for Da Zhuang to go back and forth, but it is indeed surprisingly fast, but what makes me feel sorry is that how could this Wu Dazhuang bring back such an object, and Shunzi is actually involved?

God has eyes, I should be touched, and let you two taste my methods. Immediately opened the ginger sac and squeezed it out vigorously, and a bag of ginger juice was poured on their heads in an instant. I saw that the two of them choked and spicy, covered their heads and screamed, and Da Zhuang shouted: "Oh, which rat?" Lao Tzu, Lao Tzu, I slaughtered you. ”

Seeing their embarrassed appearance, I couldn't hold back my laughter, so I jumped down from the wall and said, "You two dare to hide from Hua Bo and me and hide so many sharp weapons without permission, this is one of their crimes; The temple does not eat meat, but the two of you eat and drink mutton in your hands, this is the second sin, what do you say? ”

Shunzi was often bullied by me when he was a child, and he was naturally afraid of me, but he dared to be angry at this time, and Da Zhuang also knew that he was at a loss, and he was afraid that I would complain to Hua Bo, so he didn't dare to attack, so he could only say stupidly: "Yang Zi, what are you talking about?" I'm afraid that this mountain of ten thousand corpses is dangerous, and there are ghosts and wolves to make trouble, so I brought these guys with me, how can I do without these in the mountain? ”

I snorted at him, picked up a short knife casually, and waved it twice, the knife body was inlaid with seven gems of different colors, the workmanship was very exquisite, the edge was excellent, and it was a first-class product at a glance, but this was to capture the old man, my mind was all on the eagle claw hundred refining rope, so I didn't want to go around the bend, picked up the hundred refining rope and said: "Da Zhuang, let me ask you, what's going on with this thing?" ”

Da Zhuang was already in tears at this time, he barely opened his eyes and looked at it, and said angrily: "How does Lao Tzu know what this thing is, it looks fun, so I bought it back." ”

"Fart, it's so much more fun to watch! This thing is definitely not supposed to be here, come on, where did it come from? ”

Maybe I was so imposing, I actually shocked Da Zhuang, the master of the natural hob meat, he looked at the hundred refining ropes, and said timidly: "I really just saw it strange and got it back, to enter the mountain, I and Shunzi discussed getting some guys to defend themselves, there is an appointment first, I will bring him some high-quality goods, he teaches me archery." ”

I glanced at Junko, and saw that he couldn't stop nodding at me, so I asked Da Zhuang, "After that, how did you get this thing?" ”

Da Zhuang replied: "I arrived in Shache City, found a most famous shop, the shopkeeper is a well-known craftsman, at first we love to ignore the answers, the swords in the shop are also very ordinary, and then I put a piece of silver in front of him, this guy is a master who sees money, and immediately smiled and brought us into the inner hall, saying that in addition to this black iron chain, other objects are optional, I was not interested in this thing, but you also know my temper, he said, The more I look at this thing, the more fun I feel, so I clamored for it, the shopkeeper said that this was a few months ago a Han military master asked him to do it, the military master took the pattern and a piece of black iron, let him use this piece of black iron according to the pattern to build, this black iron is extremely hard, it took two months to forge it, and I don't know when the military master came to pick up the goods, if you sell it privately, it will lose your head. I took out a gold ingot and smashed it on the table, and the shopkeeper immediately agreed to sell it to me, saying that he would choose another piece of fine dark iron and rebuild a pair, striving for exactly the same, and passing the test in confusion. ”

Listening to Da Zhuang say this, I took a closer look at the hundred refining ropes in my hand, the chain is thinner than the little finger two times, but it has some weight, the eagle claw is extremely sharp, the whole body is black and shiny, this is indeed not an ordinary black iron, it is blacker and harder than the black iron, and it is more difficult to forge, so to speak, Da Zhuang is not lying, it will take at least two months to build this thing, it is impossible for Da Zhuang to find someone to build it temporarily, but this kind of dark iron is really peculiar, I didn't expect that there can be such a thing in such a wild place as the Western Regions.

At this point, I was a little embarrassed, and said, "Bring a few guys, you two don't have to be so sneaky." ”

I saw that Junzi was so spicy that he couldn't open his eyes with ginger, but he was still stuffing dried mutton into his mouth unhurriedly. I had to hold on to them, so I continued, "What's the matter with the dried mutton?" ”

Eating meat in the temple, Da Zhuang knew that he was wrong, and shouted helplessly: "Alas! There is no meat to eat in the temple, and if you do such tiring work all day long, you won't die of exhaustion sooner or later? These meats were originally intended to be used to satisfy hunger when they went into the Ten Thousand Corpses Mountain to find the ghost Awei, but who knew that they would not leave for a long time, so they had to take them out to satisfy their hunger, Yang Zi, don't tell my master about this. ”

I laughed in my heart and hung the Eagle's Claw Hundred Refining Rope around my waist, "It's okay to keep it a secret for you, this thing belongs to me." ”

Da Zhuang didn't care, he smiled: "I said it earlier, you can take whatever you want, but Junzi, he took the things, and you promised me that you should do it." ”

Junzi nodded at him, looked at me with a puzzled expression, and said, "Brother Yang, what is this?" ”

Now that the thing has been obtained, it doesn't hurt to teach them a lesson, so I told them the origin of this hundred refining ropes, but this kind of dark iron, the ghost knows where it came from. But we never thought that this thing really had a big background......
