Chapter 20: Another weird thing
The next morning, when Sun Yixie and Huang Donglai woke up, their arms were gone.
However, before the old monk left, he put a piece of paper beside Huang Donglai's pillow, and a wooden box the size of a palm was pressed on it.
Huang Donglai first picked up the paper and looked at it. There were only a few words on it, "Five years of hard work are passed on, and I will repay the kindness of a meal. The Western Regions are gifted to the East. Given to those who are destined to be destined. The road to the world is far away. See you again the next day."
Although I didn't say much, the meaning was quite clear.
After Huang Dong finished seeing it, he looked at Sun Yixie and said, "I've made a fortune now. Brother Sun has five years of hard work."
"Oh? He passed on me while I was asleep?" Sun Yixie said suspiciously, "Why don't I feel at all?"
Huang Donglai said: "Nonsense, you sleep like a dead pig. I guess you don't feel like you slapping five mouths."
"Get out!" Although Sun Yixie said the word "get out", he did not refute the point of sleeping like a dead pig himself. Instead, he continued, "Just treat him as he has taught me, why has it been five years? If you don't have fifty years of skill, it is also called repaying kindness?"
"Damn Brother Sun, are you a human?" Huang Donglai immediately complained, "You need all your skills when you have a meal. Is the villagers of Nanyuan Village who have been saved by you? Is it necessary to be a cow and a horse for you?"
"You said this... it seems like it's a bit too much..." Sun Yixie said, "But in the novels I read before, the protagonist only needs to feel that he is very close to the protagonist and will give everything to him."
"Brother Sun, if you have time, please recognize a few more words, don't look at those messy things." Huang Donglai said.
"Tsk..." Sun Yixie curled his lips and quickly opened the topic, "Okay, okay, stop talking about me, let's see what's in the box for you first."
Huang Donglai shrugged and opened the small wooden box in his hand.
There was only one thing in the box, a meatball that looked like an egg, brown all over and a glue-like texture.
"Cleased egg?" Sun Yixiu looked closer and took a look, and the words blurted out.
"Hairy egg!" Huang Donglai said, "Everyone has said 'Western Regions' treasures', how could it be a shell egg?"
"Damn it, I look like it." Sun Yixie said, "What do you think? The relics dropped from a lama who was hacked to death by him?"
"Brother Sun, do you think the relics are gallstones? You can't even fall out even if you break them." Huang Dong said, frowned and looked at the thing, thinking, "It's a bit of a sense of inspiration. You said the relics gave me some inspiration. I guess this may be an inner alchemy formed by some kind of animal."
"Mao!" Sun Yixie said, "You have read too many cultivation novels? Are you a fairy? You still have a pill?"
"Oh, you don't understand, there are indeed." Huang Donglai explained to him, "When I was a child, I saw something similar in my alchemy room at home, which was taken out of a giant anaconda. They called it "water dragon eggs". Materials like this, combined with some other ingredients and refined with special crafts, can be refined into the "outer alchemy" for people to take."
"What can I do if I eat the 'outer pill'?" Sun Yixie asked again.
"Some can make people not afraid of the cold in winter, some can make people tolerate toxins, and some can directly increase their skills." Huang Donglai said, "But the stronger the 'outer pill', the more difficult the base material it needs, the more difficult it is to get. I have even heard of a legend that if you can use 'dragon liver phoenix marrow' as the foundation, you can practice the immortal pill."
"Forget it." Sun Yixi said in a disdainful tone, "The one who can dig dragon's liver and knock the phoenix marrow is already a god? Do you still need a hairless pill?"
"It's said that it's a 'legend', and it's probably fake." Huang Donglai also said, "Where do you come from the dragon and phoenix in this world? I think someone drank two more cups after eating the snake and chicken pot, and it was nonsense."
Gu
Before Huang Donglai finished speaking, Sun Yixie's stomach suddenly roared.
"Look," Sun Yixie spread his hands and said, "We only have steamed buns on this wilderness. What snake and chicken pot do you have to mention?"
"Damn who caused us to spend the night in this wilderness?" Huang Donglai said, "If I listen to my walk on the official road, wouldn't I go to the inn to drink and eat meat?"
"Ha..." Sun Yixie sneered, "If I hadn't suggested walking on the mountain road, would I have gained those five years of skill? Can you get your Western Regions egg?"
After he mentioned this, Huang Donglai remembered: "Hey, by the way, Brother Sun, you have obtained five years of skill, so your martial arts should have improved a lot, why don't you try it."
"Ha! I'm just thinking that." Sun Yixie was also happy at this moment. "The place is narrow, I'll try it outside." As he said, he walked out of the Buddhist temple.
So, Huang Donglai followed him to the courtyard of the dilapidated temple, watching Sun Yixi perform high jump, long jump, back running, and punching Shi Dunzi there...
Originally, he would not do the punching Shi Dunzi with Sun Yixie's personality, but because he found that his physical fitness increased greatly during the jump and running, he thought he was "invincible" again, so he tried it in an inflated manner.
As a result, he almost broke his hand bone...
Fortunately, he is still a person who is afraid of pain and timid in his heart. He is reserved when wielding his fists, otherwise he would have to go to Luoyang with one hand this time.
Of course, this experiment is meaningless, at least it made them confirm that Yihuai's "transmission of skills" to Sun Yixie was successful.
You should know that not long ago, Sun Yixie was an ordinary person with blocked meridians and could not accept the transmission of skills at all. But now, after only one month of practice, his body can bear internal strength; in this way... the "reversal of the mind method of the universe" is really amazing and definitely a superior martial art.
In addition, this also indirectly proves that the value of what Huang Donglai got is not at least below the "five years of skill".
In fact, just as Huang Donglai had previously guessed, the "curd egg" given to him by Yihuai was a kind of alchemy material called "Xiaodan". Yihuai also got this thing by chance while traveling around. Although he knew the value of this thing very well, it was indeed useless to stay on 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 treated it as a favor and gave it to him.
If you really want to say which one is more valuable than the "brain" or five years of skill? I'm afraid the former has much greater potential, it depends on how Huang Donglai will use it in the future.
…………
After trying Brother Sun's martial arts, Sun and Huang had some breakfast casually, and then set off.
For the two people who were used to sleeping in bed, sleeping on the ground last night not only did not relieve their fatigue, but also made them feel sore in their backs. So today they walked a lot slower than when they entered the mountain yesterday, but fortunately... they were basically downhill today, and they were relatively less tired.
As they walked and stopped, it was almost dusk, they finally arrived at a terrain where they could ride horses, and now their speed could be accelerated.
The two of them rode their horses and whipped them out of the mountain, followed a small path and came to a small village.
There is a cabinet shop at the entrance of this village and a small shop for eating, but there is no inn, so the two of them can only stay at their fellow villagers' homes; of course, it is not difficult to stay... Just spend some money.
There are also some considerations about giving money: you should not be too little, and you should sprinkle soil into the water you drink; you should not be too much, and if you expose your wealth, you may be insincere and harm you... The money you have to pay is just a little higher than the other party's inner expectations, so that you can eat, drink, and live well.
Huang Donglai didn't understand these tricks very well, but Sun Yixie knew very well. After all, he had been dealing with a group of troublemakers in the fish market all day long. He knew best that the mentality of these ordinary people was complicated. Goodness, simplicity, stupidity, and viciousness were sometimes just a difference in thought and a line of separation.
They set out again the next day without saying anything.
Following the path pointed by the villagers, the two quickly returned to the official road and walked quickly.
On this day, they walked around the East Lake and walked to the gate. Before dark, they arrived at a village called Chenjia Village 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 leaving the village in a mighty manner.
The two of them took a look, but saw four big men carrying a roofless sedan chair in the middle of the line. There was a girl in black clothes and a black cloth covered her head. I don’t know where she was dressed in the dress at sunset.
If Sun Yixie and Huang Donglai came later and could not see this scene, that would be fine, but since they had already seen it, they would naturally go and inquire.
