Chapter 265: Four Yang Refining Stones
Early in the morning, after finishing the morning running training, Qi Lang came to the residence of Aunt Dong in the residential area alone.
Aunt Dong was absentmindedly scattering rice in the yard to feed the chickens, although Qi Lang was sure that with her keen perception ability, she had already noticed her arrival, but she still repeated Sammy's movements mechanically like no one. Xiao Jila, who was almost six months old, was the first to notice Qi Lang's arrival, climbed a few steps in the direction of the door, lifted a pair of fleshy little hands, and shouted in his mouth: "Wang, Wang......." β
"It's called Uncle Qi. Qi Lang smiled and stepped forward to pick up the child, and greeted Aunt Dong again, "Good morning, Auntie." Qingguo is not there?"
She had to get some things back, and Ruth went to town with her, and left early in the morning. Aunt Dong dusted off the dust and rice crumbs, and turned around to pull a bamboo chair. Qi Lang hurriedly snatched it, put the two bamboo chairs at the feet of the eldest lady, helped her sit down, and then put the little Jila on his knees, and talked with the eldest mother while wiping the corners of the little guy's mouth.
"The day is coming. Qi Lang said straight to the point, "I came to ask you a few words today, what should we do now?"
Aunt Dong paused, although the expression on her face did not change in any way, Qi Lang could see that she was still not ready to reveal the truth.
"Listen to Mr. Zhu Lai, you are probably the only person in this world who knows the truth, and if you don't plan to help us, there are some things that we will never be able to figure out. Qi Lang continued to maintain a calm tone.
Aunt Dong smiled faintly: "I'm just helping you." She stretched out her hand and took little Jira, lest the little one have to climb onto Qi Lang's neck again, as he used to do. "There are some things that would be better if you never knew the truth. She said.
"I don't think so, because that's just self-defeat. There are some things that we have to face, whether they are good or bad, and we cannot shirk our responsibilities. Qi Lang's attitude remained resolute.
"I've heard that. Aunt Dong nodded thoughtfully, "I've heard not only from my sister Li'er, but also from your father." You are all the same, stubborn to death. β
Qi Lang smiled: "So, you must also know that I will be pestering you for the past two days, and if I can't get the answer I want, I will never give up." β
Aunt Dong also smiled, but her smile was full of pity: "I will definitely give you the answer, after all, it was arranged, your grandfather arranged it for you, and when the time comes, everything will be revealed." β
"Not now?"
"Hmm......" Aunt Dong was silent for a moment, "All I can do now is to remind you that you need to be mentally prepared, that may succeed, but it is more likely to fail." Because it was a very difficult test, not just for you, but we might need three more people, three brave warriors, who had to take that test at the same time. β
Qi Lang nodded: "We have a lot of fearless fighters, and I have absolute confidence in this. β
Aunt Dong sighed softly: "My young king, you have to remember one thing, fearlessness is not the same as bravery, real bravery is to overcome the fear in your heart, is to conquer the fear in your heart." β
Qi Lang frowned slightly, carefully tasted the meaning of Aunt Pindong's words, and slowly, a smile emerged: "I understand, dear aunt." Is there anything else you'd like to remind us of?"
Aunt Dong grabbed Xiao Jila's little hand and waved it to Qi Lang: "Little guy, tell your Uncle Qi, see you then." β
Little Jira probably understood, and he giggled and said, "Meow meow......"
Qi Lang stood up and waved goodbye to Xiao Jila and Aunt Dong, but took two steps and turned back: "Those three brave warriors...... It must also include Corporal Dong Hong, right? I guess you let Qingguo go to the town, and she must stop by to inform your son. β
Aunt Dong smiled bitterly, but did not answer......
The moonlight is up. The first moonlit night of early autumn has finally arrived.
Beneath the bright moonlight, a thick, heavy milky white mist rose up. No one knew where the white fog had come from, for it was the first time since the soldiers had been stationed here that they had seen the calm lake covered in mist. But they didn't ask any questions, they just lined up neatly, and quietly watched the Qingguo girl busy there.
Under the instructions of Aunt Dong, Qingguo broke down a few branches of five-needle pines, and slowly reversed the direction of the rock on the side of the pavilion, so the fog rose and dispersed, dispersed and risen, and so on about three or five times, and finally, the puzzling super feng shui array revealed its true face.
The shallow water near the shore seemed to have evaporated in large quantities as the fog dissipated, but that evaporation seemed to have occurred in the same place, about ten meters from the shore, where four whirlpools of about one meter in diameter had formed.
The exclamations were contained in the hearts of the soldiers, who were still holding their breath as best they could, waiting with all their attention for the next miracle.
A whining sound came out, as if there was a water buffalo hidden in the center of Xiangshui Lake, and that buffalo was pushing some unknown mechanism vigorously. As the soldiers nervously searched for the source of the sound, the four whirlpools changed againβfour white jade boulder columns rose up, just poking their heads out of the water.
Eventually, everything was calm again. The fog cleared, and the wind and waves were calm.
Aunt Dong slowly walked to the shore. In order to welcome this moment, she cleaned herself up seriously, her hair was combed neatly and neatly, and she was dressed in a snow-white robe, refreshed, and looked like a completely different person.
"This is the Four Yang Stone, the first step of the trial. She explained to Qi Lang with a serious face, "We need four warriors now, sit on them and be tested." β
Qi Lang nodded, his gaze beginning to scan among the soldiers. And at this moment, Aunt Dong's voice sounded again: "Let me explain one thing first, the innermost main stone is naturally our king's position, and the other three must be completed first before the trial of the main stone is successful, otherwise Qi Lang will be in danger, and may even lose his life." β
A look of hesitation invariably appeared on the faces of all the soldiers.
"What kind of trial was that?" Jira held up her hand, "How can we be sure we've completed that trial?"
"That varies from person to person. Dong Da Niang Zhengse said, "The Four Yang Stone is a channel of communication between mortals and gods, and the trials that exist in it are completely aimed at the weakness in your heart, if you are not determined to overcome the weakness in your heart, although you will not be hurt too much, but it will affect the trialists of the main stone." β
"I'm coming!" Joanna stepped forward, looking confident, "I can do it, because I won't let him get any harm!"
was preempted by the lady, and the soldiers felt a little unbearable on their faces, and they all volunteered to raise their hands, and even Gulf, who was in a cold sweat, shouted: "I...... I can do it too!"
Aunt Dong smiled: "There is another point, this is called the Siyang Stone, that is to say, only men can go up, so Miss Qiao Qiao and all the female soldiers can only wait here and pray for them wholeheartedly." In addition to this, the four warriors also need to be virgins. β
"What is a virgin?" Gulf asked again, and he was not confident enough by this time.
Aunt Dong shook her head: "It's just a boy who hasn't had that kind of thing with a girl......"
"Oops!" Gulf stuck out his tongue in embarrassment, "Looks like I can't, because I kiss......ed Lucy," he peeked at Lucy again, admitting his mistake, "yes, and Linda...... But that time I was drunk and recognized the wrong person - you have forgiven me, haven't you?"
Lucy glared at Gulf angrily. It seems that she is not completely deflated.
In order to relieve himself, Gulf hurriedly changed the subject: "Of course, our commander should not be able to do it, because his first kiss was also snatched away by Joanna......"
Some of the knowledgeable soldiers smiled maliciously. However, Qi Lang was really worried, and hurriedly turned his attention to Aunt Dong for help: "Is this really the case, is there any remedy?"
Aunt Dong sighed angrily and funny: "I know that barbarian devils always don't know how to converge in this regard, so I'll ask those girls." β
Joanna spread her hands with regret: "I haven't got it yet." And as far as I know, Lucy is a little worse too. β
The soldiers all laughed out loud, embarrassed that Qi Lang and the famous lover saint were almost embarrassed.
"Enough trouble!" shouted Ou in dissatisfaction, completely suppressing the ridicule of the soldiers.
"I can!" Owu walked out, his expression extremely firm, "I won't let my friend be hurt in the slightest, and no one can take this position from me!"
Dong Hong also walked to Aunt Dong's side and nodded silently to his mother. Aunt Dong squeezed her son's palm vigorously: "Hold on, Hong'er, don't let your father down." She raised her head again, and calmly made a final inquiry: "There is one more missing, who will take on this heavy responsibility?"
The condition of the boy sifted out more than half of the Caucasian soldiers, and at the same time, the test was so responsible that there were only a dozen or so people who dared to proudly raise their right hands, and of course there were a few foolish men who never knew the importance of Clettu, Lamba, etc.
Jira and Gulf glanced at each other, and were about to stand beside Aunt Dong and bravely shoulder the last responsibility. At this moment, a stammering voice rang out: "I...... I...... Leave this opportunity to me, Dong ...... Supervise...... Aunt Dong!"
