Chapter 0004: The Magical Incense Burner
At dusk, Yang Shao and his senior brother Liugang each picked a back of Lou's herbs, including more than a dozen kinds of medicinal materials such as yellow essence, salvia, wild holly fruit, wild fan flower fruit, yellow dragon beard, and staghorn grass, which can be used for the master to make medicine. But the most is still the golden wild chrysanthemum, in early autumn all over the mountains, this can be steamed and then dried, in the summer you can soak mulberry chrysanthemum almond tea to cool off.
Before returning to Xuanguang Courtyard, Liugang stopped, took the back Lou on Yang Shao's shoulder, and said with a smile: "Senior brother, let's go and rest first, I'll take these medicinal herbs to the kitchen to clean, and if you want to steam them, they will be steamed together." ”
Yang Shao nodded, went back to his room, remembered the seven spirit stones given by the master yesterday morning, and continued to find the medical classics to look through, but there was no record of this at all, and there was no mention of meteorites or anything.
Yang Shao was a little disappointed, feeling that this kind of stone was simply a mystery, and only salivating in the meteorite from the sky could make sense. But since it's a stone, can it be broken? If it is broken, what else is there in it besides the aura?
Yang Shao couldn't suppress the curiosity in his heart, took out a spirit stone with a faint golden light and put it on the stone steps in front of the door, and found another ordinary big stone to smack the spirit stone. Then I looked at it, and the ordinary stone in my hand smacked white marks, but the spirit stone was not damaged at all.
Yang Shao was unwilling, and was about to change a small spirit stone to try again, when Senior Brother Liugang walked in with a tray of dinner and shouted that it was time for dinner.
Yang Shao hurriedly stuffed the spirit stone into his arms, entered the small hall with his senior brother, picked up the rice bowl and ate a few bites quickly, seeing that the senior brother didn't seem to notice his own affairs, he asked tentatively: "Senior brother Liu, have you heard of the spirit stone?"
Liugang had a mouthful of rice in his mouth, and asked in a vague tone, "Spirit Stone, what is a Spirit Stone?"
"It's nothing, it's just a kind of stone ...... called Spirit Stone" It seems that he doesn't know anything, Yang Shao replied casually, and asked: "Senior brother has been practicing martial arts since he was very eager, and he wants his senior brother to practice martial arts as soon as possible?"
Liugang thought for a while, raised his head and said, "Of course, the master said, only by practicing martial arts as soon as possible can you become a useful talent, so that you can carry forward the master's mastery......! I've been practicing for three years, and I've killed a cow with one punch and cracked a stone with one palm, and that's fine!"
Yang Shao has been busy practicing his own exercises, Yang Shao has never seen his senior brother practice, he didn't believe it at all when he heard this, and said in surprise: "No, it's so powerful? There is no stone at the door, you can try it......"
Liugang laughed, put down the dishes and chopsticks, really stepped forward, picked up the stone, and the two palms met to practice the exercises, and saw that his robe was agitated, and the green tendons on the back of his hands were sudden, and his hands instantly turned iron blue, and he rotated suddenly, and then slowly spread out his hands, and with a backpalm, a pile of gray-white slag and stone chips in the palm of his hand sprinkled down.
Yang Shao's eyes widened in shock, full of incredulous expression, Senior Brother Liugang looked tall and strong, in fact, he was only thirteen years old, but he had practiced martial arts for a few more years, and he was so powerful. Yang Shao stepped forward and picked up some micro-stone chips to take a closer look, and found that they were indeed broken stone chips, like fish scales, and there were lines of the original stone.
"I have a pebble that I picked up in the river, senior brother, you can try it again......"
Yang Shao gritted his teeth, took out a small spirit stone from his arms and handed it over, Liugang took it, he didn't even look at it more, but his eyes glared at Yang Shao proudly, which means, you look at it, it's just a piece of cake......
Seeing that Liugang started to exercise again, Yang Shao looked nervous, and his heart was in his throat, but ...... Liugang twisted his palms and rubbed his hands again, and when he spread out his hands, the spirit stone was still the same, and there was no sign of breaking at all.
Yang Shao breathed a sigh of relief, sure enough, the spirit stone is different, and ordinary methods will definitely not be able to break it...... However, why is it that the senior brother is also lucky, but he can't absorb the spiritual energy in the spirit stone? This is strange!
Liugang looked stunned, and saw that the stone was not broken, so he carefully looked at the spirit stone in his hand. Yang Shao was afraid that he would see the secret, so he hurriedly stepped forward and wanted to snatch it, but he didn't know that Liugang's skills were agile, so he avoided it as soon as he turned around, and then took a closer look.
Yang Shao was so anxious that he shouted: "Senior brother, give me back ...... quickly."
"You kid is bad, this is not a pebble at all, transparent and shiny, it's pretty good, let me play with it......" Liugang shouted unconvinced.
Yang Shao was speechless for a while, stepped forward to snatch it for a while, and said urgently: "No! That's mine! I can't play with you!"
"Don't play it!" Liugang roared angrily, threw his hand suddenly, and the spirit stone flew into the slightly dark night sky, crossed a shining streamer, and flew straight out of the courtyard to the front yard, suddenly making a "dang" sound, and there was no news. Liugang gloated and laughed: "Isn't it just a broken stone, find it yourself!"
"Yes! You...... You actually threw ......"
Yang Shao was greatly annoyed, and looked at Liugang throwing himself a stout and sturdy back, and then slammed the door and went back to the room. couldn't help but feel remorseful in his heart, he shouldn't have shown this spirit stone to his senior brother, this lost his face, and made him angry, so he had to go to the courtyard and go to the vestibule to find it.
At this time, the sky was already dark, the half-moon was hanging high in the sky, the clear light poured down, the huge vestibule was deep and gloomy, and only a half-man-high incense burner was placed in the court, towering there like a squatting monster.
With the sound just now, it seemed that the spirit stone flew over and hit the incense burner, so Yang Shao looked around the incense burner, but he didn't see it. After thinking about it, he went back to the courtyard and lit a lantern to illuminate, and came out and continued to grope around the incense burner inch by inch.
The spirit stone is luminous, and it looks particularly good in the dark, thinking about it, Yang Shao took out a small spirit stone again, put it on the ground and walked away a few steps, and it could be seen at a glance from afar. Thinking that the method he was looking for might not be right, he picked up the spirit stone and looked at the squatting incense burner.
This incense burner is nothing special, there are more than a dozen of them exactly the same in Qingmiaoguan, and there are still two lying in the utility room of the side courtyard, I don't know if it is stone or copper, but it must be very hard, and the spirit stone will definitely bounce and bounce off when it falls.
Yang Shao walked to the direction of the side courtyard again, took out a small stone from the ground and threw it at the incense burner, and sure enough, he heard a clanging sound again, and the stone jumped far away to the other side. Yang Shao ran to the other side of the incense burner with a lantern to look for it, and soon found the small stone, which seemed to be a good idea, but the spirit stone might not be in this direction.
I picked up a few more small stones and tried many times, the stones would bounce open, and I could find them, but I couldn't find the spirit stones. Yang Shao turned his heart sideways, took out a small spirit stone and walked away, raised his hand and threw it at the incense burner again, but the situation was a little different.
The spirit stone did not bounce away like an ordinary pebble, but after making a sound, a dazzling spiritual light lit up at the top of the incense burner, and it dimmed and disappeared.
There are strange things every year, and this year seems to be a lot of them, obviously it fell on the top cover of the incense burner, could it be that the incense burner ate the spirit stone? But if you want to throw another spirit stone, Yang Shao is distressed and reluctant, so he stepped forward to take a look.
Hey...... The height of the incense burner seems to be a foot shorter, and it has become a little smaller, and the fill and incense ash inside overflow a pile, what is going on?
Yang Shao circled around the incense burner a few times to confirm that he was not mistaken, and then compared his height with the incense burner, he was indeed shorter. He went in and out of the front courtyard every day, and was very familiar with the incense burner, which was originally a little taller than his height, but now the eaves of the lid only reached his chin.
He raised the lantern to shine on the top of the stove cover, and sure enough, he saw the top bead the size of the child's palm, and there was a pinch of gray-white delicate powder in a sunken round nest in the middle.
How can this be? I can absorb spirit stones as a living person, and the incense burner can actually do it, this is really amazing!
