Chapter 20 Another Strange Incident
The next morning, when Sun Yihe and Huang Donglai woke up, Yihuai was already gone.
However, before leaving, the old monk put a piece of paper next to Huang Donglai's pillow, and a palm-sized wooden locket was pressed on the paper.
Huang Donglai first picked up the paper and looked at it, and there were a few sentences on it - "Five years of skill transmission and harmony, repay the grace of a meal, the treasures of the Western Regions are given to the east, and the people who are destined are given, the rivers and lakes are far away, and you will see you in the future." β
It's not much, but the meaning is clear.
After Huang Donglai finished reading it, he looked at Sun Yi and said, "It's worth it now, five years of skill, Brother Sun." β
"Oh, did he pass on the exercises to me while I was asleep?" Sun Yi said suspiciously, "Why don't I feel anything at all?"
Huang Donglai said: "Nonsense, you sleep like a dead pig, it is estimated that you don't feel it when you hit you five times." β
"Get out!" Sun Yihuan said the word "get out", but he didn't make any rebuttal to the fact that he slept like a dead pig, but continued, "Just if he really passed it on, why is it only five years?
"I rely on Brother Sun, are you human?" Huang Donglai immediately complained, "You need all the strength of a meal, and the villagers of Nanyuan Village who were saved by you are afraid that they will have to be used as cattle and horses for you?"
"You say that...... It seems to be a bit too much......" Sun Yi said humorously, "But in the novels I read before, after the protagonist meets this kind of awesome grandfather, the old man only needs to feel that he is very close to the protagonist, and he will teach everything." β
"Brother Sun, if you have time, you should recognize a few more words, don't look at those messy things. Huang Donglai said.
"Cut ......" Sun Yixiang pursed his lips and quickly opened the topic, "Okay, okay, don't talk about me, let's see what's in the box for you first." β
Huang Donglai shrugged his shoulders and opened the small wooden box in his hand.
There was only one thing in the box - a balls that looked like eggs, were brown all over, and had a glue-like texture.
"Preserved eggs?" Sun Yihuan glanced closer, and these two words blurted out.
"Mao's preserved eggs!" Huang Donglai said, "People have said 'Treasures of the Western Regions', how can it be a preserved egg?"
"Damn, I look like it. Sun Yi said in a humorous manner, "Then what do you say? A relic that fell from the body of a lama who was hacked to death?"
"Brother Sun, are you a gallstone when you are a relic? You can't fall out even if you break people up. Huang Dong said, frowned at the thing again, and said thoughtfully, "Heyβbut, you said that the relics gave me some inspiration, and I guess this may be a kind of animal born of Neidan." β
"Mao!" Sun Yi said humorously, "You're the one who has read too many Xiuzhen novels, aren't you?"
"Oh, you don't understand, there is. Huang Donglai explained to him, "When I was a child, I saw something similar in the alchemy room at home, which was taken from a giant worm, and they called it 'water dragon egg'; β
"What can you do if you eat 'Waidan'?" Sun Yihuan asked again.
"Some can make people not afraid of the cold in winter, some can make people tolerate toxins, and some can directly increase their strength. Huang Donglai said, "But the stronger the efficacy of the 'Wai Dan', the more difficult it is to get the substrate needed, and I have even heard a legend - if you can use the 'dragon liver and phoenix marrow' as the base, you can practice the elixir of immortality." β
"Forget it. Sun Yihuan said in a disdainful tone, "Those who can dig dragon liver and knock phoenix marrow are already immortals, right?
"It's said that it's a 'legend', and most of it is fake. Huang Donglai also said, "Where are the dragons and phoenixes in this world? I think someone drank two more cups after eating the snake and chicken pot, and it was nonsense." β
Goo β
Before Huang Donglai's words fell, Sun Yihuan's stomach suddenly made a ringing.
"Look. Sun Yihuan spread his hands and said, "In this barren mountain and wild mountains, we only have steamed buns on us, what do you have to mention snake and chicken pot?"
"Damn, who caused us to spend the night in this barren mountain and wilderness?" Huang Donglai said, "Listen to my official road, then you can go to the post house to drink wine and eat meat?"
"Heh......" Sun Yihuan sneered, "If I hadn't proposed to take the mountain road, would I have been able to get those five years of skill?
After he mentioned this, Huang Donglai remembered: "Eh, by the way, Brother Sun, you have gained five years of martial arts, then your martial arts should have improved a lot, or you should try." β
"That's what I mean. Sun Yihuan was also happy at this time, "This place is narrow, I'll try it outside." As he spoke, he walked outside the temple.
So, Huang Donglai followed him to the small courtyard of this dilapidated temple, and watched Sun Yihuan perform high jump, long jump, switchback running, and punching stone piers there......
Originally, he would not have done it with Sun Yi's harmonious character, but because he found that his physical strength had increased greatly in the process of jumping and running, he thought that he was "invincible" again, so he tried it inflated.
As a result, he almost broke his hand bone......
Fortunately, he is still a pain-feared and timid person in his bones, and he has reservations when swinging his fists, otherwise he will have to go to the meeting alone when he goes to Luoyang this time.
Of course, this experiment is not meaningless, at least let them confirm: Yihuai's "transmission" to Sun Yihuan was successful.
You must know that not long ago, Sun Yihuan was still an ordinary person with blocked meridians and couldn't accept the transmission of gong at all, but now, he has only been practicing for a month, and his body can already withstand internal force...... The "Reversal of the Mind Method" is really divine, and it definitely belongs to the superior martial arts.
In addition, this also proves that the value of what Huang Donglai got is at least not under the "five-year skill".
In fact, as Huang Donglai had guessed before, the "preserved egg" that Yihuai gave him was a kind of alchemy material, called "Hedgehog Gall";
Last night, Yihuai happened to meet Huang Donglai, a descendant of the Yellow Gate, and he felt that this might be God's arrangement, so he took it as a favor and gave it away.
If we really want to say which is more valuable than this "hedgehog gall" or five-year skill? Then I am afraid that the potential of the former is much greater, and it depends on how Huang Donglai uses it in the future.
............
After trying Brother Sun's martial arts, Sun and Huang had some breakfast casually, and then led their horses and set off.
For the two people who are used to sleeping in bed, sleeping on the ground last night not only did not relieve fatigue, but also caused them back pain, so their walking speed today is much slower than when they entered the mountain yesterday, but fortunately, it is ...... Today is basically downhill and relatively less tiring.
Walking and stopping, it was almost dusk, and at last they came to a section of terrain where they could ride horses, and now their speed could be increased.
The two rode their horses and ran out of the mountain, following a path all the way to a small village.
There are cabinet shops and small shops for eating at the entrance of this village, but there is no inn, so the two can only go to the villager's house to spend the night; of course, it is not difficult to stay overnight...... Just spend a little money.
And the matter of giving money, there is also a special thing: not too little, too few people to sprinkle soil into the water you drink, and not too much, if you expose the rich, people may have evil intentions to harm you...... This money has to be given just a little bit higher than the other party's inner expectations, so that you can eat, drink, live well.
Huang Donglai doesn't know much about these doorways, but Sun Yihuan knows it very well, after all, he has dealt with a bunch of people all day long in the fish market all these years, and he knows best the mentality of these ordinary people - human nature is complex, and kindness and simplicity and stupidity and viciousness are sometimes just a difference in thought, a line apart.
After a night of silence, they set off again the next day.
Following the path pointed to them by the villagers, the two quickly returned to the official road and galloped on horseback.
On this day, they went around the East Lake, went to the gate, and before dark, came to a village called Chenjia Village at the foot of the "Ant Mountain".
As soon as they arrived at the entrance of the village, they saw a group of villagers carrying torches, blowing and beating, and came out of the village in a mighty manner.
The two of them looked at it, but they saw that in the center of the procession, there were four big men carrying a small sedan chair without a roof, and on the sedan chair sat a girl dressed in black and covered with a black cloth on her head...... It's where it's going to go.
If Sun Yihe and Huang Donglai came a little later and couldn't see this scene, it would be fine, but since they had already seen it, they would naturally go to inquire.
This led to that-Sun Yi's three dramas were Kang Haijiao, and Huang Donglai made trouble in the Dragon King Cave.
