Unparalleled Double Harmony

Chapter 21 Another Strange Thing

Early the next morning, when Sun Yixie and Huang Donglai woke up, Yihuai had already left.

But before the old monk left, he put a piece of paper beside Huang Donglai's pillow, and a small wooden box the size of a palm was pressed on the paper.

Huang Donglai first picked up the paper and glanced at it, and there were only a few words on it-"Five years of skill transmission is also harmonious, repaying the favor of a meal, the rare treasures of the Western Regions are taught to the east, and gifted to those who are destined, the rivers and lakes are far away. goodbye."

Although there are not many words, the meaning is quite clear.

After Huang Donglai finished reading it, he looked at Sun Yixie and said, "This is a good time, five years of skill, Brother Sun."

"Oh? He taught me the exercises while I was asleep?" Sun Yixie asked suspiciously, "Why don't I feel anything?"

Huang Donglai said: "Nonsense, you sleep like a dead pig, you probably didn't feel it when you were spanked five times."

"Get out!" Although Sun Yixie said "Get out", he did not refute the fact that he slept like a dead pig, but continued, "Just let him pass it on, why is it only five years? ? If you don’t have 50 years of skill, it’s also called repaying your kindness?”

"I rely on Brother Sun, are you human?" Huang Donglai immediately complained, "You need all the skills of a person for a meal, so the villagers of Nanyuan Village who were saved by you may have to come to you as cattle and horses? "

"You say it like that...it seems a bit exaggerated..." Sun Yixie said, "But in the novels I read before, after the protagonist meets such an awesome grandpa, the grandpa only needs to feel that he is very close to the protagonist. If you hit it off, you'll give everything away."

"Brother Sun, you should read a few more words when you have time, don't look at those messy things." Huang Donglai said.

"Cut..." Sun Yixie curled his lips, and quickly changed the subject, "Okay, okay, don't talk about me, let's see what's in the box I gave you first."

Huang Donglai shrugged and opened the small wooden box in his hand.

There was only one thing in the box—an egg-shaped ball with a brown body and a gelatinous texture.

"Preserved eggs?" Sun Yixie took a closer look, and blurted out these two words.

"Mao's preserved egg!" Huang Donglai said, "People have already said 'treasures of the Western Regions', how could it be a preserved egg?"

"Damn it, I look like it." Sun Yixie said, "Then what are you talking about? The relics from a lama who was hacked to death by him?"

"Brother Sun, do you think the relic is a gallstone? You can't get it out even if you split it into pieces." Huang Dong said, frowning and looking at the thing again, thoughtfully, "Hiss—but, You said that the relic gave me some inspiration, I guess this may be the inner alchemy produced by some kind of animal."

"Mao!" Sun Yixie said, "You are the one who has read too many cultivation novels, right? Fairy? Still forming alchemy?"

"Oh, you don't understand, there are indeed." Huang Donglai explained to him, "When I was a child, I saw something similar in the alchemy room at home. It was taken from a giant anaconda. They called it a 'water dragon' Eggs'; materials like this, combined with some other ingredients and refined by special techniques, can produce 'Waidan' for human consumption."

"Then what can you do if you eat the 'Wai Dan'?" Sun Yixie asked again.

"Some can make people not afraid of the cold in winter, some can make people resistant to toxins, and some can directly increase the power." Huang Donglai said, "But the stronger the 'waidan', the required substrate The more difficult it is to obtain, I have even heard a legend that if one can use the 'dragon liver and phoenix marrow' as the base, one can develop the immortality pill."

"Forget it." Sun Yixie said in a dismissive tone, "The one who can dig out the dragon's liver and knock out the phoenix's marrow is already a god, right? Do you need an immortal pill?"

"It's been said that it's a 'legend', and it's probably fake." Huang Donglai also said, "Where do dragons and phoenixes come from in this world? I think it's because someone drank two more cups after eating snake chicken pot. It's nonsense. of."

goo—

Before Huang Donglai finished speaking, Sun Yixie's stomach suddenly groaned.

"Look." Sun Yixie spread his hands and said, "In this barren mountain, we only have steamed buns on us. What do you have to mention about snakes and chicken pots?"

"Who the hell caused the two of us to spend the night in this barren mountain?" Huang Donglai said, "If you listen to me and follow the official path, then you can go to the post house to drink and eat meat?"

"Heh..." Sun Yixie sneered, "If I hadn't proposed to take the mountain road, I would have gained those five years of skill? Can you get your preserved egg from the Western Regions?"

After he mentioned it, 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 mean." Sun Yixie was also happy at the moment, "The place here is narrow, I'll try it outside." While talking, he walked outside the Buddhist hall.

So, Huang Donglai followed him to the small courtyard of this dilapidated temple, watching Sun Yixie perform high jump, long jump, back and forth running, and punching stone blocks...

Originally punching Shidunzi would not be possible with Sun Yixie's personality, but because he found that his physical strength had greatly increased during the jumping and running process, and he thought he was "invincible" again, so he tried it out swollen try.

As a result, he almost broke his hand bone...

Fortunately, he is still a pain-resistant and timid person from the bottom of his heart, and he has reservations when he punches, otherwise he will have to go to the meeting with one hand when he goes to Luoyang this time.

Of course, this experiment was not meaningless, at least it allowed them to confirm: Yihuai's "passion" to Sun Yixie was successful.

You must know that not long ago, Sun Yixie was an ordinary person with blocked meridians and could not accept the teaching of qigong at all, but now, he has only practiced for a month or so, and his body can already bear the internal force; so it seems... that " "Inverting the universe and mind" is really amazing, and it is definitely a superior martial art.

In addition, this also proves that the value of what Huang Donglai got is at least not lower than "five years of skill".

In fact, just as Huang Donglai guessed before, the "preserved egg" Yihuai gave him was a kind of alchemy material called "Xiandan"; He knew the value of this thing very well, but it was really useless to keep it on him.

Last night, Yihuai happened to meet Huang Donglai, a descendant of the Huang family, and he felt that this might also be God's arrangement, so he gave the things away as a favor.

If you really want to say which is more valuable, this "Xie Dan" or five years of skill?Then I'm afraid the potential of the former is much greater, 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 set off with their horses.

For the two people who are used to sleeping in the bed, sleeping on the ground last night not only did not relieve their fatigue, but also made their backs ache, so their walking speed today was much slower than yesterday when they entered the mountain, but fortunately... Today is basically downhill, relatively less tiring.

Stopping and stopping, it was nearly dusk when they walked, and they finally came to a section of terrain where they could ride horses. Now, their speed could be accelerated.

The two rode their horses and whipped their whips, ran out of the mountain, and followed a small road to a small village.

At the entrance of the village there is a cabinet shop and a small shop for eating, but there is no inn, so the two of them can only stay at the fellow's house; of course, it is not difficult to stay overnight... just spend some money.

As for giving money, there are also particular points: it can’t be too little, and people will sprinkle soil in the water you drink; it can’t be too much, because if you reveal your wealth, people may have evil intentions to harm you... The money should be given just right. A little bit higher than the other party's inner expectations, so that you can eat, drink, and live well.

Huang Donglai doesn't quite understand these tricks, but Sun Yixie is very clear. After all, he has dealt with a bunch of bad people in the fish market all day long. He knows the mentality of these ordinary people best-human nature is complicated, kind Simplicity and stupidity and viciousness are sometimes just a difference, a thin line.

There was nothing to say all night, and they set off again the next day.

Following the road pointed out by the villagers, the two quickly returned to the official road and drove quickly.

On this day, they circled the East Lake, walked through the gate, and came to a village called Chenjia Village at the foot of the "Ant Mountain" before dark.

As soon as they arrived at the entrance of the village, they saw a group of villagers holding torches, blowing and beating, coming out of the village mightily.

The two of them reined in their horses and saw that in the middle of the group, there were four big men carrying a small sedan chair without a roof, and there was actually a girl in all black with a black cloth covering her head sitting on the sedan chair; At the time when the sun was setting, she was dressed... where was she going to be sent.

If Sun Yixie and Huang Donglai came a little later and couldn't see this scene, that would be fine, but since they have seen it, they will naturally ask about it.

This leads to that-Sun Yixie's three plays Kang Haijiao, Huang Donglai made a big fuss in the Dragon King Cave.
