The Mid-Autumn Festival is approaching, and the golden breeze brings coolness.
From the second day after arriving in Luoyang, Sun Yixie and Huang Donglai settled in Zhengyimen with peace of mind.
The two people who were originally able to live and eat there because of their thick skin naturally became more unscrupulous after sending a piece of "unparalleled magic" to Master Shen.
Every day, these two guys just eat, drink and have fun. When they are interested, they go out and wander around. When they are too lazy to go out, they just wander around the Justice Gate, looking here and there, asking here and there... which makes Shen Youran. Financial and mental pressures are increasing day by day.
Shen Youran originally wanted to use these two "good brothers" to attract the attention of the outside world and facilitate his actions, but he never expected that they would overturn his army and make him even more constrained.
Just like that, after a few days, Shen Youran couldn't stand it anymore. With these two guys around, it was inconvenient for him to engage in conspiracy... He might as well move out by himself.
As a result, the dignified head of the Zhengyi Sect was reduced to a situation where he could no longer stay in his hometown and had to live temporarily in a villa in the south of the city... Of course, he still had to go to the villa every day during the day. He purposely walked across half the city to show up at the Gate of Justice, and stayed there for two or three hours to do some business, so as to hide his presence from others.
And after paying so much price, what did Shen Youran get from it?
It is nothing more than a secret book that he cannot understand at all, and only Sun and Huang can decipher it; just like the flower in the mirror, the moon in the water... it seems to be close at hand, but in fact it is out of reach. .
Let’s talk about two things. Let’s not talk about Master Shen who was “changed”. Let’s talk about Sun and Huang.
Their plan was executed very successfully; not only did the two of them turn against Shen Youran, temporarily cutting off the possibility of the other party assassinating them, they also used the power of the Justice Sect to make them "excessive" The issue of “high profile” becomes less of an issue.
Nowadays, even if some people think that they are too sharp, they dare not do anything to them... After all, they all live in Zhengyimen and are brothers with Shen Youran, what else can you say?
The so-called "shady" means that the more secretive and assertive you are, the more likely you are to be discussed and criticized by everyone, because the act of covering up will make people think that you still have some scruples.
But if you adopt the attitude of "Yes, I am clearly telling the truth, and anyone who disagrees will stand up", those people will not dare to speak out; because in that situation, no one will I don’t want to stand out.
Human nature is what it is.
When Sun Yixie and Huang Donglai first became famous in the city, almost everyone wanted to find fault with them and test how powerful these two were.
But after these two people moved into the Gate of Justice and acted like "we just have a backer and a shady background," most people only dared to bury their jealousy in their hearts and shut up.
These days, not only no one dares to provoke them, but there are also many people who want to make friends with them.
Facing these people, Sun Yixie and Huang Dong were also able to cope with it with ease; their mental age is much older than their actual age, and their minds are very mature. Although this is their first time in the world and they lack some experience in the world, they still have a good understanding of the world. Very understanding.
Especially Sun Yixie... he is very accurate in reading people.
What kind of person is a close friend and what kind of person is a cunning villain? He will understand after just one or two contacts with him.
For example, the guy who obviously doesn’t know you very well, but after a few glasses of wine, keeps saying things like “We will be brothers forever” and “We are closer than family members”. You must never trust them. The saying goes that when something goes wrong, there is someone, but when nothing happens, there is no one. This is the kind of person you are talking about... He will "talk to you" when something happens, and "reason" with you when you have something wrong.
Even if Sun Yixie knew how to use this trick, he wouldn't even bother to use it... because the only people who can be deceived by this trick are inexperienced children or those with intelligence like Lei Buji. .
By the way, speaking of Lei Buji... Ever since Sun and Huang helped him negotiate the "participation quota", he has basically become their follower. Ai came to them; Sun Yixie and Huang Donglai didn't mind taking him to play with them, not because this kid was stupid (he just didn't understand the world, not mentally retarded), but because Lei Buji was very sincere and not mentally retarded. He can deceive people, and there is nothing evil about him. There is no harm in making friends with such people.
The days passed like this, and the young heroes and heroines who rushed to Luoyang from all over the country to participate in the Young Heroes Association arrived one after another; people's focus gradually shifted from Sun Yixie and Huang Donglai to other places. .
Originally, the two of them could have waited peacefully until the "literary test" on August 14th. Unexpectedly...just the day before the literary test, Huang Donglai made trouble again.
Since he was really a little free these days, he began to use his free time in the evening to do some "chemical experiments" in the room; so what to do? Naturally, he used the "Xie Gu" that Tieseng Yihuai gave him some time ago.
Huang Donglai is quite confident in his character, and he feels he can handle this kind of material that he has never seen before.
So, after cutting some gallbladder powder and doing some experiments with several reagents he prepared, he thought that he had basically mastered the properties of this precious material.
Then he spent three days to refine the gallbladder into an elixir...
Many people think that refining an elixir should take seven or seven times. A project that takes forty-nine days, or even ninety-nine and eighty-one days, and it must be operated by a huge alchemy furnace, and someone must be found to watch the fire at all times and control the firepower...
Actually, you have to be careful If you think about it, you will understand that these are useless operations.
The temperature that ancient furnace fires can produce is inherently limited. Many metals with high melting points cannot be processed at all, and the temperature control cannot be very precise.If the production process drags on for dozens of days, what can be produced?
Actually, in those days, if you burned something for dozens of hours without processing it properly, the result would be the same if you burned it for dozens of days, which was meaningless.
The main reason why the so-called "forty-nine days" and "eighty-one days" are widely circulated is that many charlatans who use alchemy as a guise need such a time difference when deceiving. , with these dozens of days of detours, it is convenient for these scammers to defraud food, drink, money, and escape during this period... If you come to the door, tell people, I can finish refining the elixir in an hour, and I will open it in an hour. Aren't you just cheating on me? Is that still a lie?
To sum up, three days is enough for Huang Donglai to refine the elixir.
Of course, he is not from Hu Lian. The Yellow Sect in Shuzhong does have something in the field of chemistry. As the young master of the Huang Sect, he has certain attainments in this area; before that, he poisoned the Cao Gang minions outside Hangzhou and used the prepared "poison" "Explosive bombs" to repel bandits, crack several poisons in the Luzhou serial case, and various poison-using methods when fighting Chi Jianhong... are all enough to prove that he really has some strength.
The "Xie Dandan" he is currently making is based on Huangmen's technology. He first conducted experiments on the materials to obtain their characteristics, and then completed them through careful and formulaic processing.
Otherwise...he wouldn't dare to eat it.
Yes, Huang Donglai actually took the elixir after he finished practicing it.
After all, there is only one, and he can’t find someone to do experiments first. Besides, he feels that he has fully tested the chemical properties of the material before processing, even if the final product does not improve after eating it. The skill will not kill people.
Unexpectedly, less than half an hour after eating, he found... that he couldn't move his energy.
And this is still a small matter...
When it comes to bigger problems, he feels that a large amount of internal energy is still slowly accumulating in his Dantian, as if it is fermenting... There were more and more, and his belly was getting bigger and bigger...
The strange thing was that in this case, he didn't feel much discomfort, he just looked at the bigger and bigger ones. I felt a little panicked in my stomach, fearing that I would explode and die.
So, taking advantage of the darkness, he sneaked out of the room and knocked on Sun Yixie's door next door.
Sun Yixie had just finished practicing and was lying down. When he heard a knock on the door, he asked casually: "Who is it?"
"It's me..." "Huang Donglai's low-voiced response came from outside the door.
When Sun Yixie heard that it was Huang Donglai, he didn't think much. He got up from the bed, walked to the door in a few steps, and opened the door.
As soon as the door opened, Huang Donglai came into the room by himself, sat down at the table, and said after sitting down: "Brother Sun, I seem to be in a serious situation."
Sun While closing the door, Yi Xie looked back at him. After reading it, he looked puzzled and asked, "What is there hiding in your belly?"
That's exactly what happened.Today, Huang Donglai had nothing to hide, so he told the whole story about the self-refined elixir he took, and lifted up his clothes to show off his pig-like belly.
Sun Yixie was overjoyed halfway through. After listening, the first thing he said was to complain: "Did you make the 'Huang's Xiangsheng Pill'? The effect is immediate, right?"
"You are so ridiculous! I am so panicked now." Huang Donglai said loudly, "By the way, is there anything you can do?"
"What can I do? I You're not a doctor, and you made the elixir yourself. You don't even know what will happen if you eat it. You ask me?" Sun Yixie spread his hands, and what he said made sense.
"How about you help me find a doctor?" Huang Donglai said.
His request is reasonable, because it is inconvenient for him to move around like he is now, and secondly, it will be a bit embarrassing if others see him.
"Oh... OK, OK..." Sun Yixie said, getting ready to put on his coat, "Just wait, I'll..."
Unexpectedly, He was only halfway through what he said, and all he could hear was...
Bu————————————
Huang Donglai suddenly let go of a rare thing in the world. , super long loud fart.
Along with the long fart sound, Huang Donglai's bulging belly slowly returned to normal...
"Damn it!" Sun Yixie's reaction was still the same. Slowly, when he smelled the stink, his whole room was already filled with it.
Let me talk about the words in Mr. Guo’s cross talk - this is not fart, it is shit when it is hooked up with gravy.
Sun Yixie rushed out of the room while cursing the street guy. Where is Huang Donglai... After his Dantian felt comfortable, he instinctively took a deep breath. After taking it, he almost fainted. He passed by and then staggered out of the basement.
A moment later, when the disciples of the Zhengyi Sect came over after hearing the noise of the fight, they saw... Sun Yixie and Huang Donglai actually fighting each other in the courtyard.
One of them cursed and said: "You made a damn fart pill and came out to kiss me and assassinate me, right?"
The other one replied: "Follow me. You said it was an accident! I almost died in it!"
The two of them usually have a good relationship. Although they often have "chat chats", they have never made a move. So the people at the Justice Gate were dumbfounded when they saw this scene, and didn't know whether they should go up and persuade him.
While the disciples of Zhengyi Sect were hesitating, the stench from Sun Yixie's room had slowly spread into the courtyard, and many people standing close to the door could faintly smell it. Here we are... Fortunately, this courtyard is quite large and open-air, so the smell dissipates quickly, otherwise everyone would probably be infected.
In the end, without waiting for anyone to persuade them, the two guys fought for a while and then stopped.
Originally, the two of them didn’t really fight, and neither of them used their internal strength. At most, they were just fooling around; and, Huang Dong came here.Immediately he discovered that even after "draining the energy", he was still unable to use his internal energy.
To make a long story short, after sending the people from Zhengyimen away on the grounds of "having a few arguments after drinking too much", the two of them left the door of Brother Sun's room open and went together. Huang Donglai's room.
After some discussion, they decided to keep the matter a secret for now. Maybe Huang Donglai’s symptoms will disappear naturally tomorrow... If he still can’t do his exercises tomorrow, that’s okay, anyway, tomorrow is " "Literary test" and "competition" will have to wait until the day after tomorrow. If he still hasn't recovered by the day after tomorrow, let's talk about it; at least for now, Huang Donglai doesn't have the symptoms that seem to be fatal, so let's postpone it for a while.
There was nothing else going on that night. At Sun Yixie's request, the two of them exchanged rooms and went to rest.
That’s it, the next day arrived.
On August 14th, the opening of the Young Heroes Association and the literary test are finally here...
