The Wind and Rain in Sioux City Chapter 1: The first time the body is quenched and the villagers are alarmed, and a gong comes to call the boy

The spring sun is shining and the sea is blue. On a fishing boat, three teenagers were smiling, and it was obvious that today's harvest was good.

There are sea beasts in the sea, but they generally only live in the deep sea area, and rarely go to the shallow sea area. In other words, if you encounter sea beasts in the shallow sea, you can only blame fate for it.

Among the three, Lin Man'er is mainly responsible for designating the place to cast the net, and I don't know why, but if he casts the net at the designated place, there will be a big harvest. The fish baby asked him what his experience was, and he touched his bald head every time and replied - feeling.

The fish baby is very smart and learns everything quickly. Of the three, he was mainly responsible for casting nets, and his methods were comparable to those of old fishermen. As for Huzi, the name is not called in vain, it is like playing with a hundred pounds.

The three of them returned to the village early, and the work of carrying the fish naturally fell to Huzi. After returning to the village, according to the custom, a part is given to the elderly who have no labor, and a part is kept for himself, and the rest is sold to fishmongers.

Lao Yang leaned against the door and looked at "Detailed Explanation of Building the Foundation". Although he is literate, it does not mean that he can read the contents. In the past few days, he has read it many times, and he is almost memorizing it.

The three of them found Lao Yang Tou with great anticipation, hoping to practice as soon as possible. Old Yang's eyes were bloodshot, and the years had left dry wrinkles on his face. After Lin Man'er saw it, he said with concern: "Old Yangtou, what's wrong with you?" ”

Lao Yang got up with his head on the door frame, shook his head slightly, and said, "Old man, it's hard to do anything." ”

When Yu Wazi heard this, he took the old hen in Huzi's hand, handed it forward, shook it and said, "The widow Liu at the head of the village gave it, and I slaughtered it for you to make up for it." ”

Lao Yang Tou glared at the fish baby, and said: "The little cub is clean and grinning, this old hen can still lay eggs, how can it be slaughtered?" ”

The fish baby handed the old hen to Huzi again and asked him to find a place to tie it up. After that, he rubbed his hands, looked at Lao Yangtou with a smile, and asked, "That... You've been watching it for a few days, when will we be able to practice? ”

Lao Yang hunched his back and took a step forward, and Yu Wazi hurriedly picked up the crutches and gave them to him. Lao Yang Tou walked to a big stone in the courtyard, put the "Detailed Explanation of Building the Foundation" on it, and explained: "The old man can only understand a rough idea. However, one thing is very clear, if you want to practice, you need to first obtain a Tsukidan and then quench it. ”

"What is Tsukidan?" Lin Man'er asked.

"I don't know." Old Yang shook his head and said.

"Haven't you been able to practice?" The fish baby asked.

Lao Yang thought for a while, and then opened the book to confirm before replying: "It seems that it can be done, but it will hurt to death when you quench your body." ”

Lin Man'er patted his chest and promised, "I'm not afraid of pain." ”

After tying up the old hen, Huzi ran over and shouted, "I'm not afraid of pain." ”

Yu Wazi hesitated a little and said: "Brother Barbarian, I'm afraid of pain, or I'll forget it, right?" ”

Lin Man'er just wanted to say a few words to him, but he heard Lao Yang Tou say: "Looking at the above records, it takes a lot of medicinal materials to quench the body, and there are a few old men who have never heard of it. Our village is poor, so you can only choose one. ”

The fish baby got off the donkey and took the lead in withdrawing. After Huzi understood, he said humbly: "I seem to be afraid of pain." ”

Lin Man'er kicked him, Huzi scratched his head and looked at him, as if asking why he kicked him. Lin Man'er said angrily: "The skin is rough and the meat is thick, I don't know how to call it when I kick it, and I say that I am afraid of pain." ”

Huzi seemed to understand something, first screamed, and then sat on the ground with his butt, indicating that he was afraid of pain.

Lin Man'er covered her face and said helplessly: "Okay, I'll come first." When you have money, let the two of you practice. ”

Zhuji, also known as the Spiritual Primal Realm, has a total of nine stages, and the first six stages change the strength of the body, such as: strength, speed, etc. The last three stages are to change the body's perception of Reiki and lay the foundation for the Lingyuan Realm.

There are roughly three ways to quench the body:

First, take pills or other similar treasures.

Second, it directly cleanses the mortal body with aura, but it requires a lot of aura.

Third, medicated baths. This is also the most commonly used quenching method.

The quenching medicinal materials in the first section of the Lingchu Realm mainly include: 20 common medicinal materials such as salvia, licorice, Qincheng, and Penetrating Bone Grass, as well as three special medicinal materials, dog tail root, Yangming grass, and flower snake gallbladder.

Common medicinal materials are easy to do, but three rare ones such as dog tail root are difficult to do. After hearing this, Yu Wazi guessed: "Could this dog's tail root be the dog's tail?" ”

After hearing this, Huzi pointed to the west and said, "I know that there is a big wild dog outside the village, and it barks fiercely." I'm going to get it. ”

Lao Yang stopped Huzi, looked at the fish baby again, and said angrily: "According to what you say, the flower snake gall is the snake gall of the five-flower snake?" ”

Yu Wazi nodded again and again, blinked her eyes and asked, "Do you think so too?" ”

Lao Yang Tou picked up his cane and knocked him, and said, "Clean and grinning." He looked at Lin Man'er again and said, "You are lucky, according to the above records, there are exactly these three flavors of medicinal herbs in that box." ”

After another three days, Lin Man'er and the others finished collecting common medicinal materials, and prepared a large vat according to what Lao Yang said, supported it with three pieces of wood, and put it on the firewood.

After everything was ready, Lin Man'er stripped off his essence and got into the vat. Huzi squatted beside the vat, holding a flint in his hand, but he didn't dare to start a fire.

The fish baby urged: "What are you doing in a daze, start the fire!" ”

Huzi threw down the flint and refused: "I don't want to start a fire." ”

Old Yang Tou understood what he meant, and explained: "The barbarian baby doesn't have a foundation pill, we must use this method to let him quickly absorb the medicinal liquid." ”

The fish baby couldn't wait, so she ran over to pick up the flint and make it light. After lighting it, Lin Man'er thought it was very interesting and had fun in the vat. Seeing this, Lao Yang asked the fish baby to tie up Lin Man'er, so that he wouldn't be able to stand it and break the vat at that time.

At first, Lin Man'er didn't feel anything, until the fire broke out, and he wailed.

Seeing Lin Man'er's painful face, Huzi put his hands on the vat, wanting to push it down and save people. The fish baby hugged him and stopped: "What are you doing? ”

"Brother Man'er is going to be cooked, I want to save him." Huzi said and shook off the fish baby.

Yu Wazi hurriedly ran to the big tank, put his hand into the medicine, and then put it on Huzi's face, scolding: "What are you fooling around? Is this water hot? ”

Huzi was stunned for a moment, then put his hand into the liquid medicine and said to himself, "It's not hot!" What is that brute brother howling? ”

However, Lin Man'er's expression had begun to distort, green tendons burst out on his forehead, and his body was also worn out by ropes because of the struggle.

Lao Yang Tou returned to the house, and when he came out again, he had an extra rag in his hand, handed it to Yu Wazi and said, "Quickly stuff it for the brute baby, don't let him bite his tongue." ”

Yu Wazi took the rag and stuffed it in, but Lin Man'er gritted his teeth and couldn't stuff it at all. The fish baby pinched Lin Man'er's nose and wanted him to open it by himself, but he was about to suffocate to death, and he didn't open his mouth.

Old Yang Tou seemed to think of something, opened the book, and hurriedly shouted: "Let go, he can't control himself now." ”

Yu Wazi asked Huzi to take his hand, forcibly opened Lin Man'er's mouth, and stuffed the rag in. Lao Yang Tou told again: "Don't let him faint, otherwise the ball will be over." ”

The fish baby proposed: "Do you want to take fish bone stabs?" ”

Old Yang Tou glared at him, and said angrily: "Is he still afraid of pain now?" ”

"What then?" Huzi said in a hurry.

Old Yang sat on the ground, his hands trembling and flipping through the books, and he muttered while reading: "You wait for a while, let the old man take a look again." ”

The fish baby's mouth opened wide and asked, "You've been watching it for several days, and you still haven't remembered it?" ”

Old Yang Tou ignored him and looked at it intently. After waiting for a while, he seemed to have found something, and shouted, "Go find a big gong." ”

The fish baby beckoned Huzi to go with him to find the gong, and after a while, he heard the sound of the gong, followed by endless curses.

"You two wolf cubs, you can't beat that big gong......"

Yu Wazi turned her head and replied: "We will use it, and I will return it to you when we run out." ”

——————————

In the courtyard, Lao Yang's head was circling around the vat, and from time to time he whispered in Lin Man'er's ear. However, his call didn't seem to have much effect, and seeing that Lin Man'er's signs of life were declining, he was anxious.

At this moment, a clear gong sound came from outside the courtyard, accompanied by the shout of the fish baby, "The gong is coming!" ”

Perhaps because of this call, Lin Man'er, who had already stepped into the door of death with one foot, stopped in a daze.

When the two entered the courtyard, Huzi looked at Lao Yang's head and wondered, "Were you learning wolf howling before?" That's not like it. ”

When Lao Yang heard this, he was so angry that he blew his beard and glared, and scolded: "Learn a fart wolf howl, the old man is a spirit." ”

"Brother Man's soul is gone?" Huzi said and tears flowed out of his eyes.

"Weeping Sazi, are you not dead yet? Fast... Knock hard in his ear, and you must wake people up. Old Yang Tou urged.

When the fish baby heard this, she leaned into Lin Man'er's ear and knocked it with a "bang". Lin Man'er, who was in a coma, seemed to hear the sound of the gong and gradually woke up. At the same time, the continuous sound of gongs also beckoned the villagers to come.

Lao Yang was afraid that the villagers would disturb Lin Man'er, so he asked Huzi to block the people.

Gradually, the villagers gathered more and more, and they all looked like they were in their thirties, gossiping, asking who struck the gong? What's the matter?

In the crowd, an octogenarian man walked out, and when he saw Huzi, he scolded: "You wolf cub, tell you not to knock, you have to knock." He looked at the villagers again, waved his hand, and said, "Let's all go back!" Nothing. ”

As soon as the words fell, they heard a heart-rending wail from the courtyard, but this frightened everyone and asked what happened to Huzi?

Huzi didn't know how to explain it, and his mouth was stupid, so he simply didn't say anything. The villagers shouted to go in and take a look, but Huzi was the one and the other and guarded the door. When the two sides were at a stalemate, a few naughty boys climbed up the wall and saw that there were "living people" inside. One by one, they fell from the wall in fright, shouting: "Cook people." ”

In the courtyard, the fish baby panicked and stuffed strips of cloth into Lin Man'er's mouth, and said while stuffing: "You must know that you howl so loudly, I won't pull it out." ”

Outside the courtyard, the villagers were excited and rushed in. As soon as I entered the courtyard, I saw a large vat hanging from three logs, and Lin Man'er was boiling in the jar, and the fire below was burning.

The octogenarian man was so angry that his body trembled, he was the grandfather of Lin Man'er's mother, because of his age, the people in the village respected him as Mrs. Xu.

Old lady Xu pointed at Lao Yang and scolded: "You black-eyed butcher, you are still Langzhong in vain, and you have done such a lack of morality." ”

Several old men and widows who had received Lin Man'er's favor rushed over to save him. The fish baby raised the harpoon and shouted, "Who dares to come over? ”

Old lady Xu walked over, slapped the fish baby in the face, and said: "Your father and mother died early, and his mother kindly took you in, and that's how you repaid it?" ”

The fish baby had red eyes and roared, "I don't! I'm helping Brother Barbarian practice. You can't disturb him. ”

When it comes to cultivation, everyone thinks of the evil cultivator who occupied the village for four years. I heard that he left a few days ago, why did this Lin Man'er start to practice again?

The crowd began to fall silent, even the naughty children stopped making noise, and the courtyard was horribly quiet for a while.

Finally, Lin Man'er's first quenching was over, and the medicinal liquid in the vat now turned into black and viscous stinky water. Lin Man'er opened his eyes, clenched his hands into fists, and suddenly shook, and actually broke the rope. Jumping up from the vat, standing on the mouth of the cylinder, laughing, "I succeeded." ”

It was a happy thing, but I saw several old people covering their granddaughter's eyes, and several widows also covered their mouths and laughed.

Lin Man'er was a little puzzled, and the fish baby came to his side and reminded: "Brother Man'er, you have shown your bird." ”
