Journey to the Western Continent Chapter 52 Departure Again
If life is too smooth, there will be a lack of stories.
This has led many people to mistakenly believe that only a life with a story is worth living.
But I don't know that the happiest life is the little luck that is repeated day by day. Because only in a stable and stable day do people have time to do what they want.
And the five years that Han Nuo spent in Ichimoku were such stable and stable days. It's so stable that there is no plot to talk about with people, just some rumored tea and dinner chats on the streets.
In the past five years, he has managed to build three chariots, and the reason why he was able to build them so quickly was thanks to the help of an old friend.
This person is Xiao Yan who came to the country of Ichimu from the ghost country, he is actually the son of Xiao Ember and the grandson of Xiao Min, the emperor of the previous country of Ichimoku.
However, because of his mother, he also looks like a human head and a snake body. So he can't be the next monarch logically, but he doesn't care about it either. The reason why he came here was that he saw a set of design drawings from Yu Yun.
This set of blueprints was designed by Yu Yun based on Han Nuo's new idea, and three vehicles can be combined into a super cannon. When she first heard this idea, Yu Yun was excited, so she returned to the ghost country to complete this set of design drawings in retreat.
In order to confirm the materials that the chariot could use, Yu Yun often went to the Seven Flame Caves to communicate with those refining masters, so Xiao Yan was able to know about their plan, and only then did he come to the country of Ichimoku.
Cheng Xiu is also another helper who played a big role, with the help of Yu Yun, he improved the talisman making technology of the Ghost Country and the Ichimoku Country, and actually built a talisman printing press. And Yu Yun transformed the printing press into a very small one on his basis.
As for the role of this printing press, it was naturally to provide firepower for Han Nuo's chariot. At first, Yu Yun's weapon was permanent, but when she learned that Han Nuo's spiritual root was the Five Elements Spiritual Root, she designed a gun for him that could use talismans to fire spells to provide the possibility of the Five Elements being restrained.
The talisman filled with the gun can be either a low-level talisman or a high-level talisman. However, at present, Han Nuo's chariot is loaded with some mid-level talismans with good power. With his current cultivation, coupled with the foundation of the Ten Thousand Sword Technique, he can already fight with the monks of the same level with the chariot magic weapon.
Yu Yun called Han Nuo's chariot cannon Krypton, the word Krypton was taught to her by Han Nuo, and she felt that it was very suitable for Han Nuo, because she felt that Han Nuo's whole person was very kryptonite. However, she also admires Han Nuo's ability to make money, not only does she have a powerful background like the Han family's business, but she is also very good at starting from scratch.
And although Jin Yu's daughter was restored to her free body by Han Nuo, she never left. Han Nuo didn't hate having one more of her around, and provided her with a lot of resources, and as a result, this woman actually married Jindan within five years.
On this day, Han Nuo, who had finally finished the chariot, had a good night's sleep, and then got up and prepared to go to Chengxiu's house for a walk.
As soon as he entered the mansion of the Chengxiu family, he was bumped into by the old Sancheng Tao of their family. After the little boy took half a pill, he turned into a human form that resembled his mother's appearance. Han Nuo didn't expect that the dosage of the pill would also be halved for children.
Seeing Han Nuo, Cheng Tao immediately shouted "Uncle Han is here" and went to the house to find his father.
Cheng Xiu immediately came out of the house, at this time he was already holding a big rich belly, and when he saw Han Nuo, he gave a salute. "Brother Han, what kind of wind blew you here?"
"It's nothing, I'm coming to see you." Han Nuo looked around, "Where did the golden-eyed white tiger go?" ”
Suyi took it back to the beast pen at the back, and she was always reluctant to receive it into the spirit beast bag. If she continues to raise it in this way, sooner or later it will be wasted. Cheng Xiu shook his head and said.
"Haha, it doesn't matter. As long as it doesn't hurt people, you don't need to expect it to be of any great use. Han Nuo said with a smile.
"Brother Han, you came this time, but you are planning to leave again?" Cheng Xiu brought the topic back on track.
Han Nuo looked at Cheng Xiu, and then at his family. "That's true, I'm going to go to the desert to the west, and I don't think there's any need for your family to follow along."
"I feel the same way about this." Cheng Xiu agreed with Han Nuo's words. "I'm old and young, and I'm always a drag with my wife and children."
"Are you interested in having a cultivator family or something?" Han Nuo asked very suddenly, and Cheng Xiu's eyes straightened when he heard him say this.
Next, Han Nuo and Cheng Xiu analyzed the current situation.
First, because of the relationship between Xiao Shen and Xiao Zhi, the Xiao family decided to give Han Nuo a small mountain near Erying Mountain as a thank you, and Han Nuo felt that it would be very interesting to develop an immortal cultivation family based on this.
Second, the development and growth of the Han family's business over the years, although it has achieved a lot of achievements in the world, it has always been restricted by the Central Plains Kingdom and the various immortal cultivation families. If you can use the financial resources of the Han family to develop a family of cultivating immortals, I am afraid that the influence will be no less than that of the Wan Chamber of Commerce.
The most important third point is that with Han Nuo's interaction with Cheng Xiu for so many years, he can see that Cheng Xiu is not a person who can abandon his family and take the immortal path, but it is better to simply establish a base here and seek benefits for all generations.
I don't know if Han Nuo poked the idea, or if Cheng Xiu originally had such a plan, in short, Cheng Xiu agreed with Han Nuo's statement in the end.
Finally, when Han Nuo was about to leave, Cheng Xiu stopped him. "Brother Han, I'll give you this exercise." He pulled out a tattered exercise book.
Han Nuo took the exercise book and looked through it, it was an exercise called "Knowing the Soul and Clearing the Pupil", as if he could see the essence through the phenomenon and directly identify the soul of a person. He frowned, could it be that every time Cheng Xiu could recognize himself, it was because of this exercise?
"Brother Cheng, ...... you" Han Nuo pointed his finger at the booklet in his hand, "Suyi, is it Suyi back then or Suyi now?" ”
Cheng Xiu nodded silently and did not speak.
Han Nuo was silent for a long time, "I said that Brother Cheng's indefatigability to Su Yi was because of that change of Yan Dan, but now it seems that he is superficial." Han Nuo bowed deeply to Cheng Xiu.
Cheng Xiu hurriedly helped him up and said, "Today's book gift, all of them are given by Brother Han in the next body, and only this exercise is my original thing." The second is to use this exercise to let Brother Han distinguish the people around him, in case there is a mistake I made back then. ”
When Han Nuo heard Cheng Xiu's words, he naturally knew what he meant, and after thanking him repeatedly, he returned to the mansion.
In the courtyard of the house, Jin Yu had already prepared the ingredients for the evening, and Xiao Zhi, Xiao Yan and Yu Yun were already waiting there.
Regarding the matter of cooking, Han Nuo does not shirk. Soon he turned the ingredients into a fragrant feast, and everyone drank and talked about it until late at night.
"Brother Han, now that everything is ready, when are you going to leave?" Yu Yun couldn't wait to ask.
"It's late autumn now, and it's the season of wind and sand in the western desert, and the monsters are raging, so I want to set the departure time in the coming spring, I don't know what Miss Yu thinks?" Han Nuo took a sip of wine, and his eyes fell on the fallen leaves in the distance.
"I think what Brother Han said is that the road to the country of Wuqi is dangerous, so you still don't have to trust it." Xiao Zhi seconded.
"Brother Han, are you really not letting me go with you?" Xiao Yan patted his chest and asked.
"We're not going to look for any secret techniques for refining magic weapons on this trip, and you can't get any benefit when you go, why do you want to follow?" Yu Yun asked Xiao Yan rhetorically.
"But I want to travel around too!" Xiao Yan said dissatisfiedly.
"Xiao Gongzi should concentrate on cultivation first, and strive to get married as soon as possible, otherwise where will the lifespan let you travel?" Jin Yu followed and persuaded on the side, Xiao Yan glanced at her, and stopped talking.
"Here's what you're given." Han Nuo threw Xiao Yan a gadget, a harmonica he made in his spare time.
Xiao Yan took the object and watched it repeatedly, but he didn't understand what it was. So Han Nuo took out an identical thing and blew a little song.
"Hey, there's more to this thing than five tones." Xiao Yan couldn't wait to disassemble the thing, but was stopped by Han Nuo, "In this little thing, there is a problem that you can't solve, empty for research?" ”
Xiao Yan didn't know what tricks Han Nuo had, so he nodded without hesitation and agreed.
After that night, the group hadn't seen each other for half a year.
And in the past six months, Han Nuo has studied two more things.
One was the pupil technique given by Cheng Xiu, which he found to be very simple, but it was very difficult to cultivate. Because this spell actually requires people to feel the soul, Han Nuo, who grew up under the materialist world theory, will not be able to experience the soul-body duality mentioned in the exercise in the short term. And in order to see the souls of others, you must first see your own souls, so he cultivated for half a year and learned nothing.
The other is the peach box that Yu Nian gave himself at the beginning. He hasn't opened this box for so many years, mainly because he has a great hope in his heart.
He hoped that the box was really the Nirvana peach pit he had been looking for at the trade fair, but he was worried that he would lose that hope. Based on this Schrödingerian concern, he finally saved it until now.
The result was a surprise to him, the thing in the peach box was the Nirvana peach pit.
So he quickly used this thing to refine a fake ghost pill, because the refining method of this thing was not difficult, but the difficult thing was the materials it needed. In addition to the main materials, he has already prepared the rest of the auxiliary materials.
Therefore, in Han Nuo's daily compulsory list, there is an extra drip scripture.
In the spring of the following year, it came relatively late, so Han Nuo and his party left Changping City in the cold spring season.
On that day, Xiao Zhi, Xiao Yan, and Xiao Yan prepared a banquet in advance at the send-off pavilion, and when Han Nuo and the three of them passed by the West Gate, they saw the royal guards waiting for them at a glance.
"Brother Han, you really don't need me to send someone to send you there?" After landing, the group exchanged a few polite words, and Xiao Shen asked Han Nuo again.
"Your Majesty's customs clearance document is already the best gift, and it really doesn't take much effort to send it." Han Nuo replied respectfully, Xiao Shen nodded, and said no more.
"Brother Han, can you tell me what problems I need to solve with this thing?" Xiao Yan took out his piano and asked a question that had nothing to do with farewell.
When everyone saw this, they laughed. Han Nuo smiled and pointed to the harmonica and asked Xiao Yan, "I used three materials for this thing, do you know?" Xiao Yan nodded.
"Do you know what these three materials are?" Xiao Yan shook his head.
"How did you get these three materials, do you know?" Xiao Yan shook his head again.
"Let's make a bet that you won't be able to solve this problem until we come back from the west." Han Nuo smiled and provoked Xiao Yan.
"Oh? Brother Han looks down on him so much? Xiao Yan looked at the harmonica in his hand disdainfully, "What if I untie it?" ”
"Well, I won't lie to you, you can gather any experienced refiner to study with you. If you win, I will teach you all my alchemy. If you lose, your research team will be mine. Han Nuo said with a wicked smile.
"It's a deal!" Xiao Yan and Han Nuo clapped their hands.
After that, Han Nuo and the three of them exchanged a few more polite words with Xiao Yan, and then hurriedly said goodbye. Seeing that Han Nuo was gone, Xiao Yan also said goodbye to his father and uncle, and left on his own.
"Big brother, Yan'er's persistence is with you. But how do you think someone dug a hole and made him jump in? Xiao Zhi asked Xiao Yan.
"It doesn't matter, the way of refining is also the Tao, as long as you are attached to the Tao, it is the heart of the Dao. This Han brother behaves informally, and he does not respect others. It seems that there is no way in the eyes, but in fact, there is only the avenue. He doesn't think about those small things, he doesn't know how to pit Yan'er, he just wants to borrow Yan'er or you and me, and recruit a group of talents who can study the alchemy skills he needs. ”
Xiao Shen looked at the direction of Han Nuo's departure, and stopped talking a little. "Do what you can, pick a group of people from the Royal Forge who have the ability to do so." He said lightly to Xiao Zhi.
