Yu Peng was soaked in hot water for an hour. Yang Yanbin was beside him and stayed with him like this for an hour.
Yang Yanbin still couldn't believe his eyes. He put his fingers into the hot water in the bathtub several times, relying on the pain caused by the burns to tell himself that he was not dreaming. These were real things that happened in front of him. In the process, my outlook on life collapsed again and again.
That's 100-degree hot water, 100 degrees, what's the concept? It means that ordinary people may be scalded to death if they fall into it for more than ten seconds.
A cultivator like Yang Yanbin can only stay in there for a minute at most, but his skin and delicate organs will be scalded due to heat conduction, causing irreparable trauma. Even if the spiritual energy for body protection is activated, it will not last more than a few minutes.
Reiki can block direct contact with hot water, but it still cannot prevent heat from being transmitted to the organs.
But Yu Peng didn't use his spiritual energy to defend himself.
Not to mention, Yu Peng directly sunk his head into the water
The skin of the body may be able to support it, but can the delicate tissue structures of the face, scalp, eyes, nose, and ears be played with in this way?
At first, he thought that no matter how powerful Yu Cheng was, he could only last five minutes. This was already the limit he could imagine, and it was the greatest test of Yu Cheng's ability.
Five minutes later, this guess changed to 8 minutes. After all, once a person reaches a certain limit, every extra second is an insurmountable gap.
Then, this guess turned into fifteen minutes. This was already a number that Yang Yanbin only dared to think of after scratching his head.
After that, Yang Yanbin started betting on whether Yu Peng could last for 30 minutes.
It's not a guess, it's a bet, a bet on the limit of the 劊, and a bet on what your attitude towards the 劊 should be in the future.
Then after raising money again and again, Yang Yanbin was already covered in sweat, his brain was working rapidly, and bursts of white hair sweat appeared.
At this time, Yang Yanbin was even more miserable than Yu Peng, who was soaked in 100-degree water in the bathtub.
It wasn't until an hour later that Yu Peng raised his head from the water. After Yang Yanbin swallowed and choked, he began to hiccup and retching continuously, and then lay down on the ground stiffly, his eyes dull.
If a person remains fully focused for a long time and is mentally tense for too long, he will have a stiff reaction, and his stomach will also have a spasm reaction. The normal reaction is hiccups accompanied by retching.
Even people like Yang Yanbin who have practiced Taoism for more than 20 years still cannot escape this law.
This is the physical and physiological phenomenon that occurs when the human body reaches its limit.
Yu Peng glanced at Yang Yanbin and knew that he seemed to be hurt, but in fact there was nothing wrong with him, so he ignored him.
When I walked out of the bathtub, the water droplets on my body seemed to be conscious. They quickly slid down from my body. It was only a few steps away. It was equivalent to not even a drop of water on my body when I picked up my clothes.
When Yang Yanbin stood up, he saw that Yu Peng had already sat at the tea table. He quickly looked at the bathtub and smelled a strong smell of blood from the water being drained. After seeing the turbid blood, he frowned and then Followed over and sat across from Yu Peng
"I still can't imagine that this can happen before my eyes."
Yang Yanbin took out a tea bowl of the same style from a drawer under the tea table. While talking to Yu Peng, he continued to make tea.
Yu Peng had been soaking in the water for a long time, and his exposed hands and face were red. After sitting down for a while, he was already slowly returning to normal, and he was now sipping tea.
Yang Yanbin didn't dare to laugh, because after Yu Peng came out of the bathtub, his whole body was as red as an iron rod that had been burned for a long time. Even if he put on clothes, he was still like a traffic light growing on a tree, as red as a bright red. But as Yu Peng's face gradually recovered, Yang Yanbin seemed to suddenly see something. His mouth opened wide in shock, and the hand holding the teacup froze in the air again.
As the red color on Yu Peng's face faded and returned to its normal state, the person sitting in front of Yang Yanbin was no longer the ordinary-looking child before, but an indescribably delicate face.
Yang Yanbin was stunned for a while, and countless words popped into his mind. From childhood to adulthood, from ancient times to the present, he read almost all the words that describe beauty, but still couldn't find any words that could describe Yu. In the end, there was only one word left in my mind, which was perfection.
Because Yang Yanbin has a special family status, all the places he visited in the past were places that ordinary people could never enter once in a lifetime. He saw countless handsome men, beauties, and immortals. In the past, in his eyes, those people were Eye-catching enough
But after seeing Yu Peng, Yang Yanbin suddenly felt that the beauty of those people was a bit vulgar, and the exquisiteness was a bit earthy.
Seeing Yang Yanbin looking at him with more and more weird eyes, Yu Peng suddenly reacted and waved his hand in front of him, turning into an ordinary face again.
Such a gap between the front and back made Yang Yanbin's heart skip a beat. The originally fragrant tea now felt dull.
Looking at Yang Yanbin who was sitting across from him with various facial expressions, Yu Peng said with a smile.
"Many things, when you first see them, feel new and exciting, but as time goes by, you get used to them."
What Yu Peng is talking about is medicinal bath, water that rises from low to high, and finally reaches a hundred degrees. It is the perfect men and women who have been together in the extremity for four years.
Indeed, when he first saw those faces, Yu Peng was amazed for a long time. However, after four years, Yu Peng had long been used to seeing them and was even a little tired of them. So when Yu Peng came out, he saw some unattractive men and women. On the contrary, I will watch it for a while and think this is interesting.
The maid knocked on the door several times and asked about Yang Yanbin's condition, but Yang Yanbin drank it down. After waiting for the water in the bathtub to be completely drained, Yu Peng filled the bathtub with new water and washed away all the remaining blood stains. Just said hello to Yang Yanbin
"I'm a little tired today. Give me the pill I took in the morning and find a place for me to sleep."
"Hmm... Okay, I'll have someone find a room for you first. I'll take it over to you after I've sorted out the elixir matter."
Yang Yanbin followed a maid and left. Yang Yanbin sat in a chair and pondered for a long time. He asked the maid who came into the room to collect the medicinal materials to go out. It seemed that he had made some decision. He called the old housekeeper and asked the old housekeeper to bring in a mobile phone. He also waved to the old housekeeper. After I was kicked out, I started calling a number I hadn’t called in many years.
The beeping sound lasted for more than 20 seconds, and then the sound of connection came from the other side, and a slightly aged and choked voice came.
"son??"
"Father, it's me"
Perhaps he was shocked by his father's voice, which he had not heard for many years. There was no sound on the other end of the phone for a while, and Yang Yanbin waited silently without speaking.
After a while, the sound continued to come from over there, but it was obvious that the original old voice had a little more excitement.
"It seems that I have made a lot of money with one tenth of my family property. I have made a lot of money. Apart from anything else, if I can get you to call me father, even if I increase my tenth, it is still worth it." !”
"Well, I did make a profit."
"how are you?"
"Recently? Just like that, oh, to be precise, it was still like that before today, it has always been like that, but after today, it should be, oh, no, it will definitely be different."
"How to say?"
"Can't say!"
"Tsk, you kid, why are you still so out of shape?"
After saying this, Yang Yanbin's father suddenly felt inappropriate, as if this sentence should not be said at this time, and quickly changed the subject.
"It seems that this one is very different from Yuqing."
If it was Yang Yanbin before today, if he heard himself saying that he was not up to date again, he might hang up the phone angrily like he had for many years, but not today, and he might even feel that it was nothing.
"Father, you are also an accomplished monk. I would like to ask you, if you were completely immersed in 100-degree water, how long could you last?"
"One hundred degree water?"
"Yes, water at a hundred degrees, and without any spiritual energy to protect the body."
"Hmm... let me think about it, without the blessing of spiritual weapons and the protection of spiritual energy, I should be able to hold on for two minutes now. If it was in my prime, I should be able to hold on for about six minutes."
"As expected, you have been hiding from me all this time. I think I can only hold on for a minute at most before I have to come out. One more second and I might be blind or deaf."
"You, if you don't believe me if I ask you to practice more, tell me, how long did Yu Peng persist?"
"One hour"
"What?!!!"
A harsh whistling sound came through the earphones, almost shattering the speaker of this old-fashioned mobile phone. At the same time, Yang Yanbin also heard the sound of wood being torn over there.
Tsk, wouldn’t the old man tear off the handle of his favorite sandalwood chair?
Then, the old man's anxious voice came over.
"Are you telling the truth?"
The old man's voice was as trembling as electronic music.
Yang Yanbin was stunned for a moment before he realized that it was not that the old man was so excited, but that the howling sound that the old man made just now really shook the speaker of his mobile phone.
"Really, I was scared too. I never thought that people who practice Taoism can reach such heights. Thinking about when I was eighteen years old, I defeated some people and felt that I was invincible. Now look at it. Yu Peng felt that at that time, I really didn’t know how high the world was.”
Yang Yanbin said this last sentence very seriously.
Then, the father and son fell into silence again, a long silence
Finally, it was Yang Yanbin’s father who spoke again
"What does Yu Peng need now?"
"He was going to rest and told me that he needed a pill like the one he took in the morning."
"Okay, you should take a break first. I'll make arrangements later."
"Okay, then... pay attention to your health"
“….”
"Okay, you too"
" son"
After hanging up the phone, Yang Yanbin fell into deep memories.
Looking back on my thirty-three years of life, before the age of 18, it was all hope, and after the age of 18, it was all hopelessness.
What a beautiful memory it was before the age of eighteen. Then, what is left is only infinite confusion and despair, in a cycle of constant hatred, forgiveness, despair, responsibility, boredom, and indifference.
All of this changed to a new world after meeting Yu Peng.
Although he had only been in contact with Yu Peng for one day, Yang Yanbin truly felt that what he saw in this day was more amazing and meaningful than anything he had ever experienced before.
In Yang Yanbin's mind, a stupid man suddenly popped up and said a classic saying
"To live is to do meaningful things, and to be meaningful is to live."
My family originally invested in that TV series when I was in my twenties. After it was completed, it was shown on my TV before it was released. Maybe my father at that time just wanted to live like that stupid person.
Yes, alive, as long as you live one more day, you can see more new aspects of this world.
Even if I only have one year to live, what can I do? This year is enough to do a lot of things
A small fire rose up in Yang Yanbin's eyes again, and his eyes changed from the original indifferent look to one full of expectation.
More than ten minutes later, a figure appeared next to Yang Yanbin out of thin air. A small jade box was placed on the tea table in front of Yang Yanbin.
Even Yang Yanbin didn't notice when this figure came in or when he walked to his side. After putting down the jade box, he disappeared quietly again.
From the beginning to the end, Yang Yanbin could not see what that shadow looked like, or even whether it was a boy or a girl.
The jade box looked ordinary, but Yang Yanbin still saw from the strange lines on the box that it was a spiritual weapon. The magic weapon contained in it was probably higher than the elixir he fed to Yu Peng in the afternoon. Grade elixir
It seems that after his first successful bet, his father placed a bigger bet on Yu Peng.
Yang Yanbin was just guessing whether this pill would be enough to exchange for one-tenth of the Yang family's assets.
