When Sun Yixie and Huang Donglai woke up early the next morning, Yihuai had already left.
But before leaving, the old monk placed a piece of paper beside Huang Donglai's pillow, with a small wooden box the size of a palm pressed on the paper.
Huang Donglai first picked up the paper and took a look at it. There were only a few words on it - "The five years of skill transfer are also harmonious. In return for a meal, the rare treasures from the Western Regions are given to those who are destined to come from the east." "It's a long journey, see you tomorrow."
Although he didn't say much, the meaning was quite clear.
After Huang Donglai read it, he looked at Sun Yixie and said: "This is a good profit. Five years of skill, Brother Sun."
"Oh? He gave me it while I was sleeping. "Did I teach you the skill?" Sun Yixie asked suspiciously, "Why don't I feel anything at all?" Huang Donglai said: "Nonsense, you sleep like a dead pig. I guess I can slap you five times." "I don't feel it."
"Get out!" Although Sun Yixie said "get out", he did not make any refutation of the fact that he slept like a dead pig, but continued, "Just go away." If he really passed it on, how come it’s only been five years? Isn’t it called repaying a favor if you don’t have 50 years of skill?”
“Brother Sun, are you a human being?” Huang Donglai immediately complained, “One day. If you ask for all your skills for a meal, are you afraid that the villagers of Nanyuan Village who you rescued will have to work as cattle and horses for you?"
"What you said... seems a little bit. Yes..." Sun Yixie said, "But in the movies I watched before, after the protagonist meets such an awesome old man, the old man only needs to feel that he is very compatible with the protagonist, and he will give everything to him. Granted."
"Brother Sun, you should learn more words when you have time, don't look at those messy things," Huang Donglai said.
"Tch..." Sun Yixie curled his lips and quickly changed the subject, "Okay, okay, stop talking about me, let's take a look at what's in the box I gave you."
p>Huang Donglai shrugged and opened the small wooden box in his hand.
There was only one thing in the box - an egg-shaped, brown ball with a gelatinous texture.
"Preserved egg?" Sun Yixie took a closer look and blurted out these two words.
“A furry preserved egg!” Huang Donglai said, “Everyone calls it ‘a rare treasure from the Western Regions’, how could it be a preserved egg?”
“Damn it, it looks like it to me. "Sun Yixi said, "What do you think it is? The relic that fell from the body of a certain lama who was hacked to death?" "Brother Sun, do you think the relic is a gallstone? It won't fall out even if it's broken into pieces." Huang Dong said, frowning and looking at the thing again, and said thoughtfully, "Hey - but, you said that the relic gave me some inspiration, I guess this is possible. It's an inner elixir formed by some kind of animal." "Mao!" Sun Yixi said, "You have seen too much, are you a fairy?"
< p> "Oh, you don't understand. There is indeed something." Huang Donglai explained to him, "When I was a child, I saw something similar in the alchemy room at home. It was taken out of a giant anaconda. They called it‘Water dragon eggs’; materials like these, combined with some other ingredients and refined using special techniques, can be used to produce ‘outer elixirs’ for human consumption. ""Then what happens if you eat the 'Waitan'? "Sun Yixie asked again.
"Some can make people not afraid of the cold in winter, some can make people gain tolerance to toxins, and some can directly increase skill. "Huang Donglai said, "But the more powerful the 'Water Alchemy', the harder it is to obtain the base materials required. I have even heard a legend - if you can use the 'Dragon Liver and Phoenix Marrow' as the base, you can practice it. Produce the elixir of immortality. ”
“Forget it. Sun Yixie said in a dismissive tone, "Anyone who can dig out the liver of a dragon and knock out the marrow of a phoenix is already a god, right?" Do you still need a hairy elixir? ”
“I’ve already said that it’s a ‘legend’, and it’s probably a lie. Huang Donglai also said, "Where in the world do dragons and phoenixes come from?" I think someone made this nonsense by drinking two more drinks after eating snake and chicken in a clay pot. "
Gu——
Before Huang Donglai finished speaking, Sun Yixie's stomach suddenly made a rumble.
"Look. Sun Yixie spread his hands and said, "In this barren mountain, all we have is steamed buns. Why do you insist on bringing up snake and chicken in a pot?" "
"Who the hell caused us to spend the night in this deserted mountain? "Huang Donglai said, "If you follow my official path, won't you be able to go to the post house to drink and eat meat? "
"Ha..." Sun Yixie sneered, "If I hadn't suggested taking the mountain road, would I have gained those five years of skill? Can you get your preserved Western egg? "
After he mentioned this, Huang Donglai remembered: "Hey, by the way, Brother Sun, you have gained five years of martial arts, so your martial arts should have improved a lot. Why don't you give it a try. "
"Ha! That's exactly what I meant. Sun Yixie was also happy at the moment, "The place here is narrow, I'll go outside and try." "As he said that, he walked outside the Buddhist hall.
So Huang Donglai followed him to the small courtyard of the ruined temple and watched Sun Yixie perform the high jump there. , long jump, back and forth running, and punching Shi Dunzi...
Originally, Sun Yixie's character would not be able to punch Shi Dunzi, but because he discovered during the process of jumping and running His physical strength increased greatly, and he thought he was "invincible" again, so he tried it in an inflated manner.
As a result, he almost broke his hand bone...
Fortunately for him. At his core, he is still a fearful and timid person, and he is reserved when punching, otherwise he will have to go to the meeting with one hand in Luoyang this time.
Of course, this experiment is not the same. It was meaningless, but it at least allowed them to confirm that Yihuai's "transfer" to Sun Yixie was successful.
You must know that not long ago, Sun Yixie had blocked meridians and could not accept it at all. An ordinary person who teaches martial arts, but now, he has only practiced for a month, and his body can already withstand the internal force; from this point of view... the "Reversing the Universe Mind Technique" is really amazing, and it is definitely a superior martial art.
In addition,This also proves that the value of what Huang Donglai obtained is at least not less than "five years of skill".
In fact, as Huang Donglai had guessed before, the "preserved egg" Yihuai gave him was a kind of alchemy material called "Xie Dan"; Yihuai also accidentally discovered it while traveling around the world. Although the person who got this thing knew its value very well, there was really no use in keeping it with him.
Last night, Yihuai happened to meet Huang Donglai, a descendant of the Huangmen. He felt that this might be God's arrangement, so he gave the things as a favor.
If you really want to say which one is more valuable, this "Xie Gu" or five years of skill? I'm afraid the potential of the former is much greater, it depends on how Huang Donglai uses it in the future.
…………
After testing Brother Sun’s martial arts, Sun and Huang had some breakfast, and then led their horses and set off.
For the two people who are used to sleeping in beds, sleeping on the ground last night not only did not relieve their fatigue, but also caused their backs and backaches. Therefore, their walking speed today was much slower than when they entered the mountains yesterday. Not much, but the good thing is... today is basically downhill, so it's relatively less tiring.
After walking and walking until it was almost dusk, they finally came to a section of terrain where they could ride horses. Now, their speed could be accelerated.
The two of them galloped their horses and whips, ran out of the mountain, followed a path, and arrived at a small village.
There is a shop and a small shop for eating at the entrance of the village, but there is no inn, so the two of them can only stay at a fellow villager's house; of course, it is not difficult to stay overnight... just spend a little money.
There are also things to pay attention to when it comes to giving money: not too little, otherwise people will sprinkle dirt into the water you drink; not too much, otherwise people may have evil intentions to harm you if you reveal your wealth... …The amount of money you have to give is just a little bit higher than what the other party expects, so that you can have good food, drink, and live well.
Huang Donglai didn't quite understand these things, but Sun Yixie knew it very well. After all, he had been dealing with a bunch of unscrupulous people in the fish market all day long, and he knew the mentality of these ordinary people best - Human nature is complex, and sometimes there is just a thin line between goodness and simplicity and stupidity and evil.
After a night of silence, they set off again the next day.
Following the road pointed out to them by the villagers, the two quickly returned to the official road and rode fast.
On this day, they walked around the East Lake and went to the gate. Before dark, they arrived at a village called Chenjiacun at the foot of "Ant Mountain".
As soon as they arrived at the entrance of the village, they saw a group of villagers holding torches, blowing and beating, and came out of the village in a mighty manner.
The two men reined in their horses and took a look. In the center of the team, they saw four big men carrying a small sedan without a roof. On the sedan, there was actually a man dressed all in black with a block covering his head. A girl wearing black cloth; I don’t know where she is going to be sent in this outfit at sunset.
It would be fine if Sun Yixie and Huang Donglai arrived a little later and couldn't see this scene, but since they had seen it, they would naturally inquire about it.one time.
This leads to that - Sun Yixie performed three plays to overwhelm the sea dragon, and Huang Donglai made a big fuss in the Dragon King Cave.
