The night he learned about the family's secret treasure, Sun Yixie told Huang Dong all the "untold secrets" that he had just learned.
Huang Donglai couldn't help feeling that it was Brother Sun who had a good life. If there were any 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 was undoubtedly these three secret treasures.
At this point, in their minds, they had imagined Shen Youran as a complete bad guy and were 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 had been guarding against the organizers from the beginning...
Although their only basis was their own dark thoughts of "judging everyone's belly with a villain's heart", even though they did not know that Shen Youran's true ambition was far more than just coveting the Sun family's treasures... but they had to Said they really did the right thing.
…………
In the days after that, Sun Yixie and Huang Donglai stayed at home and concentrated on practicing martial arts. They wanted to seize the time in less than two months to make preparations for the upcoming Young Heroes Conference.
Needless to say, Huang Dong came from a place where he already had a good foundation 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 into 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 given him all the words on it). It had been translated once, and he recognized it all based on the simplified Chinese characters.) He meditated and adjusted his breath, and then after finishing the practice, he put the stone slab back in its place and re-covered the sarcophagus.
This practice process is also passed down from the 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 increase. This is also It's all calculated.
However, as soon as seven days passed, Sun Yixie found a way to be lazy - he secretly copied the content on the first stone tablet in simplified Chinese with pen and paper, and then stopped going to the secret room from the eighth day and went directly to the secret room. Practice in your own room.
Sun Yuanwai thought that his son had memorized the contents of the slate after seven days, so he did not have any doubts.
So on the fifteenth day, Sun Yixie felt that he had been practicing for two weeks and was still not "invincible". It was very strange, so he showed Huang Dong the handwritten simplified version of his secret technique and asked him if it was Isn’t it right to practice on your own?
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.
In other words, people like Huang Donglai who already have a foundation of internal skills will not be able to practice even if they get the "Reversal of the Universe", and strong training will only cause the meridians to reverse and become possessed; only people like Sun Yixie who do not know martial arts can , can you practice 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 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 into the secret room and asked him to help I copied everything on the twenty-odd stone tablets 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 approaching, 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, these things are in this world. No one except him and Huang Donglai could understand it. In addition, the paper and ink of this "secret book" were still very new. Even if it was picked up by outsiders, no one would be able to figure out what ancient peerless martial arts it was, so he Not afraid of losing it either.
In these days, while Huang Donglai was instructing Brother Sun on various martial arts basics, he also reviewed all these basics himself. Not to mention... it was very useful. His current martial arts cultivation was compared to his When I first came to Hangzhou, I made progress again and broke 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 finally ready and were about to set off today.
Unexpectedly... 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, we generally use official channels, which is the so-called "Yi Delivery". In Dashu, all 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.
The "Flying Pigeon Gang" mentioned above is a communication method that can only be used by people in the world and rich and powerful people. 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 post station every dozens of miles along the way. There are two types of inns: "official inns" and "min inns". The former only accepts civil servants from the imperial 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 streets.
In addition, in addition to traveling by yourself, there is another option, which is to take the "high-speed rail gang" coach.
Although this so-called "High-Speed Rail Gang" is a Jianghu gang in name, everyone knows that the government is operating behind it.
Each of their gang leaders has the surname Gao Mingtie, which is more like a title tied to a position than a name. Their gang has never been involved in any disputes in the martial arts world, so no one knows about this Gao Mingtie. In fact, it doesn't make sense to know the appearance of the gang leader... because this is a person who can be replaced at any time.
The only business of the high-speed rail gang is "people transportation". They will allocate drivers and vehicles of various specifications to pick up and drop off passengers in various places.
No matter 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 horses and hiring carriages is expensive and difficult to deal with. Walking is too slow, and staying on the road for a long time is even more expensive, so high-speed railway carriages are the way to go. 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 have an easier time on the way; from one post station to the next, they did not have to find their own way, and they did not have to find another way every once in a while. Hire a coachman, pay for a horse, etc. (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 coach that far at the same speed every day, so do This kind of trip usually requires changing coachmen and horses several times, and each time they have to bargain with the local horse dealer). 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 railway station. He also told Huang Dong: "I've done it all! Don't worry!"
Huang Donglai didn't think much about it at the time. What else could go wrong if he bought a ticket?
So, today, the day they set out, something happened.
The two of them each carried a baggage. Sun Yixie also held a trident in his hand. He came to the starting point in high spirits. Then when Sun Yixie showed his ticket, he was told: "You bought it wrong. This It’s a ticket from Luoyang to Hangzhou.”
Sun Yixie was unhappy at the time: "Damn, what's the difference between going from Luoyang to Hangzhou and from Hangzhou to Luoyang? The price should be the same. If you let us go up, won't it be over?"
The person in charge of receiving them from the High-Speed Railway Gang 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 trident as if he was going to stab someone: "Fuck you! What's your attitude? Also, why didn't you remind me when I bought the ticket? The one you sold the ticket to People have never thought about it, why do I need to buy a ticket from Luoyang to Hangzhou when I am in 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 a letter, and send it to him. Is this reasonable?" The high-speed rail guy replied.
"Uh..." Sun Yixie was speechless.
"Besides, young man, you are already such a big man." The man was still reluctant, and then laughed, "If a child comes to buy a ticket, and this happens, maybe our ticket seller here will remind you, you If you buy something like this, we must think you have thought about it well."
"I..." Although Sun Yixie wanted to take the opportunity to get angry, the other party's words were too reasonable. In addition, there were many people waiting to start the car watching him, which made it more and more difficult for him to step down.
"Okay, okay...Brother Sun, it'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 Railway Gang, they still couldn't get on the bus because the seats were indeed sold out. The next bus to Luoyang would not be available until seven days later, so we would leave at that time. Maybe I won’t be able to catch up with the Mid-Autumn Festival meeting.
Helpless, the two of them had to buy tickets temporarily and got on a bus to Xuancheng, thinking that they would settle the matter when they got to Xuancheng.
Along 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 tell them to shut up. After all, one of them was holding something that looked like a large dung fork, and he looked quite manic. He was so annoyed that he was so unlucky.
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 when suddenly...
"Ouch, Brother Sun, I suddenly have a stomachache, what should I do?" Huang Dong had a bad stomach since he was a child. He often had to relieve his stomach more than three times a day, and now he felt it coming again.
"Then what can I do?" Sun Yixie muttered in disgust, but then turned around and moved to the front of the car to talk to the driver. After a while, he came back and said, "The driver said, time They are all tied up, and you cannot park at will, otherwise there will be no time to enter the city before dark, and all the people in this car will have to be locked outside the city gate. He cannot bear this responsibility."
"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 and go to the woods on the roadside to deal with it quickly, and then find a way to catch up by yourself."
Huang Donglai was really in a hurry. He thought for a moment: "It'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 to protect myself from the wind." Huang Donglai said, "What if half of the people I pulled against Jie Daoer were attacked and hacked to death by someone?"
"Then you go 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 happens when elementary school students invite each other to the toilet. It doesn't feel inappropriate to say it between them.
"Damn! Are we brothers? Just one word!" Huang Donglai urged, "Hurry up, I can't bear it anymore."
"Okay, okay." Sun Yixie saw that many people in the car were looking at them and suppressing their laughter. He felt that it was embarrassing to stay here alone, so he picked up the trident lying on the ground and stood up, "I Go with you, go with you..."
The high-speed railway carriage is specially designed 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 about 20 kilometers per hour, so it is not difficult to get off the car even if it is driving. .
Soon, Huang and Sun jumped out of the car one after another. As soon as they landed, Huang Donglai ran away and ran straight to the woods on the side of the road. 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.
He said he was looking out, but in fact Sun Yixie didn't stand very close. Firstly, it was unnecessary, and secondly, even if he stood a few feet away, he felt like he could smell the stench due to psychological effects.
Just as he was waiting for Huang Donglai to finish his work, 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 was exhausted from running, she kept moaning after falling. He didn't even make a sound, he just lay on the ground breathing hard.
Sun Yixie took a closer look and found that she was a woman. She looked to be about twenty years old, dressed like a village girl. She couldn't be said to be very handsome, 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... two figures came out holding steel knives. , a man in green clothes and black trousers.
"Hmph... I'll let you run!" One of them saw the village girl falling to the ground and immediately showed a ferocious smile. He walked forward in three steps and two steps at a time, reaching out to grab the woman's arms. 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, in the bright sky, 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 it. Even if Huang Donglai didn't hear it, if someone passing by heard it, then He can also be more confident.
"Huh?" The two men holding steel knives were just ordinary minions, and it was 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.
Anyone who has some experience in martial arts knows that people who use relatively rare Qimen weapons are basically unlikely to have poor kung fu.
This is just like learning how to play basketball by starting with the most basic dribbling and passing. Those who learn weapons usually start with common weapons such as swords, guns and sticks. Only when the foundation is well established can they 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, "I'm afraid you can't afford to offend the people of our 'Zou Mazhai'. "
"Zou Mazhai?" Sun Yixie repeated the three words he had heard for the first time and sneered, "Heh... a bandit, right?"
At this moment, he had already seen from the expressions of the two people opposite him 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 them all and I'll listen. Follow me. If I fight, everyone will die!"
