On the night when he learned about the family secret treasure, Sun Yixie told Huang Dong all the "untold secrets" that he had just learned.
Huang Donglai couldn't help but sigh that Brother Sun had a good life, and if there were adventures, there would be adventures.
At the same time, the two old fritters quickly realized... Assuming that Shen Youran really had a plot against the Sun family, his target would undoubtedly be these three secret treasures.
At this point, in their minds, they have imagined Shen Youran as a complete bad guy and are 120% wary of him.
Looking at the entire martial arts world, among all the young people who went to participate in the Young Heroes Association, they were the only ones who were on guard against the organizers from the beginning...
Although their only basis was It was their own dark thoughts of "judging everyone's belly with a villain's heart". Although they didn't know that Shen Youran's true ambition was far more than just coveting the Sun family's treasures... But they had to say that they really did the right thing. .
…………
In the days after that, Sun Yixie and Huang Donglai both stayed at home and practiced martial arts with great concentration, trying to seize the time in less than two months. Make some preparations for the upcoming Young Heroes Conference.
Needless to say, Huang Dong came from a very good background in martial arts, and practicing martial arts has always been his daily routine.
But it is indeed rare for Sun Yixie to practice martial arts seriously.
In the first seven days, Sun Yixie ran to the secret room every day. According to his father's instructions, he opened the sarcophagus, took out the first stone slab, and followed the contents on it (his father had already I translated all the words above for him, and he recognized them all based on the simplified Chinese characters.) He meditated and adjusted his breath. After practicing, he put the stone slab back to its original place and re-covered the sarcophagus.
This practice process has also been passed down from our ancestors, because moving the stone slabs in and out every day is also a kind of exercise in itself; as the martial arts improves, the number of stone slabs that need to be moved every day will also increase. There are more and more, and this is all considered good.
However, as soon as seven days passed, Sun Yixie found a way to be lazy - he secretly copied the content on the first slate in simplified Chinese with pen and paper, and then started on the eighth day. Instead of going to the secret room, I practiced directly in my room.
Sun Yuanwai thought that his son had memorized the contents of the slate after seven days, so he did not have any doubts.
On the fifteenth day, Sun Yixie felt that he was still not "invincible" after practicing for two weeks. It was very strange, so he gave him the simplified Chinese version of his family's secret technique. I came to see Huang Dong and asked him if his training method was wrong?
Huang Donglai did some research and found that "Reversing the Universe" is really a very clever internal skill. The luck method recorded in it is completely opposite in logic to most of the orthodox internal skills and mental methods he knows. of.
In other words, people like Huang Donglai who already have a foundation of internal energy will not be able to practice even if they get this "reverse the universe", and strong training will only cause the meridians to reverse and become possessed; onlyOnly people like Sun Yixie who don't know martial arts can start practicing from scratch.
Of course, the reason why Brother Sun has shown no improvement after practicing for fifteen days is not that he has done anything wrong, but because he has not yet reached his peak level.
No matter how excellent the inner strength and mental skills are, it is impossible for someone to open up the meridians and develop internal strength in just ten days. Sun Yixie didn't understand anything, so he asked such a question.
Huang Donglai had no choice but to explain the basic concepts of various martial arts to him again and let him continue to practice hard, but he didn't know how much Sun Yixie had listened.
…………
The days passed like this.
In the blink of an eye, it’s late summer and early autumn.
In the past fifty days, Sun Yixie had naturally not finished practicing "Reverse the Universe", but because he was in a hurry, on the twenty-fifth day, he secretly brought Huang Donglai with him. After entering the secret room, he asked him to help him copy everything on the twenty-odd stone slabs in simplified Chinese.
After that, Sun Yixie practiced basic internal skills while jumping to see the various moves that followed.
Seeing that the day to leave for Luoyang was coming soon, Sun Yixie simply stapled together all the pages of the books that Huang Donglai had copied for him, making a self-made "secret book" and preparing to take it with him; Anyway, no one in this world except him and Huang Donglai can understand these things. In addition, the paper and ink of this "secret book" are still very new. Even if it is picked up by outsiders, no one can figure out what era it is. He has long-standing peerless martial arts skills, so he is not afraid of losing them.
In these days, while Huang Donglai was instructing Brother Sun on the basics of various martial arts, he also reviewed all these basics. Not to mention...it was very useful. His current His martial arts cultivation has improved compared to when he first came to Hangzhou, and he has broken through a bottleneck.
In addition, the letter he sent back to the Huang family through Feige Gang also received a reply. The head of the Huang family also sent the invitation letter to the Young Heroes Association from the Zhengyi Sect to Shuzhong. In the letter, he asked Huang Donglai to take good care of the Sun family's nephew, and at the same time give the Huang Sect a voice at the conference.
In this way, the two of them were ready for the journey today.
I never thought... On the day of departure, something unexpected happened again - Huang Donglai never expected that Sun Yixie bought the wrong ticket to Luoyang.
Here we need to briefly introduce the traffic and communication conditions of Dashu.
First of all, for communications and logistics, official channels are generally used, which is the so-called "email delivery". In Dashu, all the larger counties will have post stations, basically covering the whole country. People who want to send letters and items can go to the inns for delivery. Of course, there are restrictions on the weight and size of items. If you want to transport a large truck For goods, you'd better think of a way on your own. The government doesn't have the resources to allocate it to you. Even if it does, the price offered will be much more expensive than hiring a car or people.
As for the "Flying Pigeon Gang" mentioned above, only JiangThe communication means that can only be used by Lakers and rich and powerful people, but ordinary people will not receive them at all.
As for transportation, whether you are driving a carriage, riding a horse, or walking, taking the official road is naturally the safest choice; the official road is wide and in relatively good condition, and there is a road every dozens of miles along the way. Station. There are two types of inns: "official inns" and "min inns". The former only accepts civil servants from the court, while the latter is open to ordinary people. Of course, no matter which type, they are run by the government, so if you go through the official route, you will naturally have to pay. To make money as an official, unless you travel hundreds of miles a day, you can rush to a town to stay in an inn every day, or you are willing to sleep on the street.
In addition, in addition to traveling by yourself, there is another option, which is to take the "high-speed rail gang" bus.
Although this so-called "High-Speed Rail Gang" is a Jianghu gang in name, everyone knows that the government is operating behind it.
Every one of their gang leaders has the surname Gao Mingtie, which is more like a title tied to a position than a name; their gang never gets involved in any disputes in the martial arts world, so Not many people know what this high-ranking gang leader looks like. In fact, it doesn't make sense to know... because this is a person who can be replaced at any time.
The only business of the High-Speed Railway Gang is "people transportation". They will allocate drivers and vehicles of various specifications to pick up and drop off passengers in various places.
Whether you are a figure in the world, an ordinary citizen, or a son of a wealthy official who wants to experience life, as long as you buy a "ticket", you can take their bus.
For many people who want to seek refuge with relatives and friends, or seek apprenticeships in the mountains, buying a horse or a carriage is expensive and difficult to deal with. Walking is too slow, and staying on the road for a long time is even more expensive and expensive. Therefore, the high-speed rail Bang's van has become a good choice.
This time Huang Donglai and Sun Yixie originally planned to buy a "high-speed rail ticket" to go directly to Luoyang, so that they could be more relaxed on the way; from one station to the next, they did not have to know the way by themselves. There is no need to hire another coachman or spend money to change horses every once in a while (for this kind of long-distance journey, the hired coachman generally will not follow the employer across several provinces, and the same horse cannot pull the cart at the same speed every day. Traveling so far, they usually have to change coachmen and horses several times during this kind of trip, and they have to bargain with the local horse dealers every time). As long as they follow the high-speed rail gang's coach, they don't have to worry about these trivial matters.
As a native of Hangzhou, Sun Yixie must be the one to buy tickets. It just so happened that Sun Yixie had been practicing at home every day recently and wanted to go out for a breather. So three days before their departure, Sun Yixie took half a day to buy a ticket at the local high-speed rail station. When he came back He also told Huang Dong: "I've taken care of it! Don't worry!"
Huang Donglai didn't think much about it at the time, thinking what else could go wrong when buying a ticket?
So, today, the day they set out, something happened.
The two of them each carried a baggage, and Sun Yixie also held a handful of three bags in his hand.Ji Ji arrived at the place of departure in high spirits. Then Sun Yixie showed the ticket and was told: "You bought it wrong. This is the ticket from Luoyang to Hangzhou."
Sun Yixie Xie was unhappy at the time: "Damn it, what's the difference between going from Luoyang to Hangzhou and from Hangzhou to Luoyang? The price should be the same. Wouldn't it be over if you just let us go up?"
The high-speed rail gang was responsible for receiving them. The man was also happy: "Then walking from home to here is no different from walking from here to home. Otherwise, you can go back."
When Sun Yixie heard this, he became angry and picked up the copy. The trident looked like it was going to stab someone: "Damn you! What's your attitude? Also, why didn't you remind me when I bought the ticket? The person who sold you the ticket never thought about why I'm here Hangzhou, want to buy a ticket from Luoyang to Hangzhou?"
"Let me think about it...for example, you have a friend who lives in Luoyang, and you want to invite him to Hangzhou, so you buy a ticket. , put it in the letter and send it to him, is this reasonable?" the high-speed rail gang member replied.
"Uh..." Sun Yixie was speechless.
"Besides, young man, you are already such a big man." The man was still reluctant and continued with a smile, "If a child comes to buy a ticket, and this happens, maybe we will sell it here The ticket seller will remind you that if you come to buy it like this, we must think that you have thought it through."
"I..." Although Sun Yixie wanted to take the opportunity to get angry, the other party was right. It makes so much sense, and there are a lot of people waiting to start watching him, making it even more difficult for him to step down.
"Okay, okay...Brother Sun, that's okay, give me some face." In the end, Huang Donglai stepped forward and gave Brother Sun a step to stop him from further humiliating himself. .
Unfortunately, even though Huang Donglai negotiated nicely with the people from the High Speed Rail Gang, they were still unable to get on the bus because the seats were indeed sold out, and the next bus to Luoyang would have to wait seven days. Only then, if we set off at that time, we might not be able to catch up with the Mid-Autumn Festival.
Having no choice but to buy tickets temporarily, the two of them got on a bus to Xuancheng, thinking that they would make further arrangements when they arrived in Xuancheng.
On the way, Huang Donglai naturally couldn't help but complain about Sun Yixie's "reverse high-speed rail" behavior. Sun Yixie continued to make tough remarks and put the blame on the high-speed rail gang.
The other passengers in the car suffered silently under their mental pollution, and did not dare to shut them up. After all, one of them was holding something that looked like a large dung fork, and looked at it. He is quite manic, and it would be unlucky for him to be forked if he gets pissed off.
In this way, the carriage continued to move forward. At noon, after a brief pause at a post station, it was soon on the road again.
At the end of the day, the car was driving on the road, and suddenly...
"Ouch, Brother Sun, I suddenly have a stomachache, what should I do?" Huang Dong has a weak stomach since he was a child. Well, he often has to relieve his big hands more than three times a day, and now he feels like it's coming again.
"Then what can I do?" Sun Yixie said disgustedlyHe muttered something, but then turned around and moved to the front of the car to talk to the handlebar. After a while, he turned back and said, "The driver said that the time is all set. You can't park at will, otherwise it will get dark." He couldn't bear the responsibility if he didn't have time to enter the city. The whole car had to be locked outside the city gate."
"How long will it take to get to the next station?" Huang Donglai asked again.
"It's still early." Sun Yixie said, "He said that if you really can't bear it, just jump out of the car, go to the woods on the roadside to quickly solve the problem, and then find a way to catch up by yourself."< /p>
Huang Donglai was really in a hurry. He thought for a while: "That's okay... Anyway, I'm pretty good at Qinggong, so I should be able to catch up, but Brother Sun, can you do it?"
" Huh?" Sun Yixie was stunned, "What does it have to do with me? Why should I accompany you?" "Please help me," Huang Donglai said. What should I do if I encounter Jie Dao'er and am hacked to death?"
"Then just die!" Sun Yixie's voice became shrill when he replied.
This kind of conversation is similar to that of junior high school students... no, it is a conversation that occurs when elementary school students invite each other to the toilet. There is no sense of violation between them if they talk about it.
"Damn! Are we brothers? Just one word!" Huang Donglai urged, "Hurry up, I can't bear it anymore."
"Okay, okay." Sun Yixie saw Many of the people in the car were already looking at them and suppressing their laughter. They felt that it was embarrassing to stay here alone, so they picked up the trident lying on the ground and stood up. "I'll go with you..."
This high-speed railway carriage is specially used to pull passengers. The carriage is narrow and wide, and is pulled by four horses. The speed is not very fast. Using the current concept, it is probably 20 kilometers per hour, so even if it is Getting out of the car while driving is not difficult.
Soon, Huang and Sun jumped out of the car one after another. As soon as they landed, Huang Donglai ran away and went straight to the woods on the roadside. He was already unbuttoning his pants as he ran.
Sun Yixie looked at the opponent's back and laughed loudly, carrying the trident and followed him leisurely. Seeing Brother Huang's embarrassment, he suddenly felt that the humiliation he had felt before was relieved a lot.
It was said that he was looking out, but in fact Sun Yixie did not stand very close. Firstly, it was not necessary, and secondly, even if he stood a few feet away, he felt that he could smell the stench due to psychological effects.
While he was waiting for Huang Dong to finish, suddenly, a figure staggered out of the woods on the other side of the road, and fell to the ground with a thud; probably because she had already run away. Exhausted, he didn't even hum after falling, he just lay on the ground breathing hard.
Sun Yixie took a closer look and found that it was a woman, about twenty years old, dressed like a village girl. Her appearance could not be said to be very distinctive, but she was still pretty.
Just when Sun Yixie was hesitant to go up and help her, unexpectedly, a few seconds later, two more figures chased out of the woods behind the village girl. This time... came out are two hand-held steelA man wearing a knife and a green shirt and black trousers.
"Humph...I let you run!" One of them saw the village girl falling to the ground, and immediately showed a ferocious smile. He stepped forward in three steps and stretched out his hand. I just wanted to pull that woman's hair.
"Wait a minute!" At this moment, Sun Yixie had already crossed over from the other side of the road and rushed here.
But seeing him holding a trident, standing tall and shouting angrily, he looked quite majestic.
"In broad daylight, what do you want to do to a weak woman?" Sun Yixie deliberately raised his voice loudly, mainly because he wanted Huang Donglai in the distance to hear him. Even if Huang Donglai didn't hear it, if If someone passing by heard it, he would be more confident.
"Huh?" The two men holding steel knives were just ordinary minions. It was really a bit weak to be shouted at by Sun Yixie.
The two of them looked up and saw a young man of seventeen or eighteen years old with four eyebrows and holding a strange weapon. Their first reaction was...this boy is by no means an ordinary person.
Everyone with some experience in martial arts knows that those who use relatively rare Qimen weapons are basically unlikely to have poor kung fu.
This is just like learning how to play basketball, starting with the most basic dribbling and passing. Those who learn weapons usually start with common weapons such as swords, guns and sticks. Only by laying a good foundation Only then can you change to practice those special weapons.
"Boy, I advise you not to mind your own business." After a brief stalemate, one of the minions said a standard line full of minions, "We, the people of 'Zou Mazhai', I'm afraid you can't afford to offend him."
"Zou Mazhai?" Sun Yixie repeated the three words he had heard for the first time and said with a sneer, "Huh... Bandits, right? ”
At this moment, he had already seen from the expressions of the two people opposite that the other party was a bit weak, so he took advantage of the situation and started to bluff.
"There are still people in the area around Hangzhou that I, Sun Yixie, can't afford to offend?" Sun Yixie said boldly, "Tell me! Who is the leader of your village? How many people are in the village? Where are they from? Report it to me and you will die if you fight with me!"
