Let's say that Sun and Huang ran all the way and reached the formation.
While Huang Donglai was running, he saw that the last bit of incense was about to fall off, so he quickly shouted: "There is no time! Hurry up and lie down!"
Sun Yixie did not hesitate. When he heard the sound, he slid a shovel towards his "corpse".
Huang Donglai, on the other hand, took off on the spot three meters away from the formation...
However, Huang Donglai's feet were lifted off the ground and retracted in the air to form a "cross-legged" state. His hands had already begun to perform kneading and he was chanting a mantra.
Two seconds later, just as Sun Yixie's "hun'er" slid back to his body, Huang Donglai also landed on his butt, "sat" directly into the formation with a long jump movement, and completed the process of reciting the curse.
It was at this moment that the last wisp of fragrance... drifted away.
And along with the scent of incense dissipated, there was also the green soul light in the sight of Sun and Huang.
A suffocating darkness suddenly swallowed them up, as if it wanted to eat them both up.
Fortunately... after a breath, their eyes lit up again.
When they came to their senses, they were back in the rice shop. The light source not far away was the oil lamp that the shopkeeper had lit when they entered the house.
"Huh..." Huang Donglai finally let out a sigh of relief, "Damn, I was scared to death. I thought I failed just now."
Normally, even at this moment, Sun Yixie would argue with him and make some remarks to each other, but now, as soon as Sun Yixie sat up, before he could speak, his face suddenly changed, and now
A look of pain on his face.
Immediately afterwards, Brother Sun casually grabbed a half-empty rice vat lying on the ground beside him, lowered his head and said "Uh-uh--" into it, and started vomiting wildly.
This time... let's put it this way, it was as if he didn't eat tonight's meal, and even drank a lot of bile.
This is not over yet, what is even more strange is that the food and liquids he vomited out at this moment are all pitch black and emit bursts of pungent odor.
"Brother Huang...what's going on with me? Could it be that I died again?" Sun Yixie was frightened when he looked at the things in the tank, and quickly turned around and asked.
Upon hearing this, Huang Donglai came over and looked at him with disgust before replying: "Don't worry, it's nothing. It's just because you have been to 'that kind of place', so when you come back, your body will destroy your soul."
The 'dirty things' contaminated there will be expelled, and... the poisons in your body that caused your death should also come out, which is a good thing." As he said that, he pointed at Sun Yixie.
The right cheek of your face, "If you don't believe me, touch it. When I brought you in, the right side of your face was still swollen, and a large area was black and purple, but now you can't even see the wound."
In fact, Huang Donglai was not very sure about Huang Donglai's explanation. He was just guessing based on the knowledge he had learned.
However, he was generally right - people who "return to the sun" will basically go through such a stage, because the three souls and seven souls after reorganization have their own "new life" power, which can cause death in the human body.
Injuries, poisons, diseases, etc. are expelled together with the "underworld air and dirt" that the soul has been contaminated with in the underworld, and it can even "regenerate" and "self-heal" the organs to a certain extent.
This phenomenon can be said to be a reward, or a kind of mercy, from the Yin and Yang laws of heaven and earth to those who successfully survive the "catastrophe of death"; after all... without this mechanism, most of those who "return to Yang" would
People will die again immediately because they return to a body that has already failed.
"Oh...that's it." Sun Yixie listened and nodded, but soon he remembered something again, "Oh, that's not right? Why didn't you vomit?"
"Na, are you a fake cultivator?" Huang Donglai started to show off at that time, "I have been practicing in the mountains for more than half a year. I just took a short trip to the underworld, how could I be invaded by the evil spirit?"
"Okay, okay, Brother Huang is awesome... Uh-huh..." Sun Yixie responded casually, then buried his head again and vomited for a while.
When Brother Sun was vomiting, Brother Huang took the opportunity to tell him what happened after the two of them were attacked, such as how he killed the sneak attacker, how he brought Sun Yixie to this Mipu, and what happened.
How to do it, "chasing souls in the underworld"...
He talked for a while, and the shopkeeper of the rice shop also came out of the back room.
The shopkeeper obviously had a lot of experience in dealing with Taoist priests, so as soon as he heard someone talking in the outer room, and the tone seemed to be quite relaxed, he knew that Huang Donglai's business was finished.
"Ha... Xiaodao, I see that you are not very old, but you are very capable. You can even save the dead." The shopkeeper looked at Sun Yixie who had "resurrected" and was not too surprised.
"Yes, thank you shopkeeper for your generous help." Huang Donglai also quickly bowed and thanked him.
"No! Master Taoist, please don't mention the word 'righteousness'." The shopkeeper waved his hand, "We'd better be more vulgar and ask for money."
The shopkeeper is also a sensible person. The situation was urgent just now and it was important to save people, so Huang Dong came to withdraw money and he did not respond. But now that people have been saved, there is no need to talk about "righteousness"... just in case the other party wants to default on the debt.
If we go that way, if he continues to be polite, we will lose money.
"Oh, that's easy to say." Huang Donglai lightly kicked Sun Yixie, who was squatting on the ground, "Brother Sun, I helped save your life. It's up to you."
Sun Yixie had finished vomiting at this time, or there was nothing left to vomit, so he let go of the rice vat that he had held for a long time, wiped his mouth with his sleeve, stood up, looked at the shopkeeper and said, "Thank you very much.
Yes, then you think...how much should I give?"
As soon as the shopkeeper heard what this guy said, he knew that he was also a businessman.
In those days, most buyers and sellers understood: the buyer/payer should try not to mention the specific amount before the other party. The seller/receiver should mention it first, otherwise you would be an amateur and deserve to be ripped off.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "Hey... well." The shopkeeper put on a very embarrassed expression and glanced around the room, "Those incense burners and bowls, even though they are for washing
It can still be used...but I don't dare to use it anymore; the half a bucket of fresh glutinous rice and the half a tank of white rice that you contaminated are not cheap...Oh, by the way, I can't have that tank either.
Yes, you have to take it away; also, the ground is painted like this, and I have to spend a lot of effort and use a lot of water to clean it... As for me opening the door for you in the middle of the night to help save your life
This sum..." He stroked his beard and rolled his eyes a few times, "It costs you five taels of silver in total, isn't it too much?"
After Sun Yixie listened, he thought to himself: Just the small incense burner on the table, a big broken bowl, and a broken vat. If you take these three items to a pawn shop, it's probably hard to pawn them for ten bucks, right? Even if you add half a bushel of glutinous rice and half a bucket of glutinous rice.
Half a tank of rice, which holds up to the sky, is only worth one tael of silver. As for the formation painted in red and ink on the ground, tomorrow you can ask the man who comes to work to pick up some water and wipe it. Can't it be done? Even if there is no such formation on the ground, you can let it be done.
Do I have to pay extra money for my own man to mop the floor? This is cost-free in the first place.
Of course, things have a price, but human lives are priceless. What if they don't open the door tonight? Or they don't cooperate with Huang Donglai so much, or even cause trouble for him? There's no way to talk about this.
From this perspective, the other party's request for five taels is indeed not too much.
"Okay!" Sun Yixie thought for a while and then returned, "Five taels is five taels."
As mentioned before, Sun Yixie is not stingy, he just cares about whether the money spent is worth it - if it is worth a few thousand taels, it is not a big deal, but if it is not worth a few taels, he will feel pain in his body.
Moreover, even if he thinks it is worth it, he must be skillful when giving money. If he gives it too easily, it will make the other party think, "It turns out that this person is so rich, but it is a pity that I have less." In this way, the other party will
There may be unwillingness or even resentment... Therefore, even if the money is really not much for Brother Sun, he still has to pretend that it is "not easy to give".
"But shopkeeper, we have something to say first." Sun Yixie said, he had already taken out five taels of silver and slapped it into the shopkeeper's hand, but at the same time he firmly grabbed the shopkeeper's wrist and refused to let go.
The other party took his hand back and said, "You should also understand that we two brothers are not ordinary people. The amount of money... is not small. If you want to get it steadily, then what happened here tonight..."
"I understand, I understand..." Can the shopkeeper still understand this? He didn't even need to wait for Brother Sun to finish speaking, "I've never seen you before. I've been sleeping in bed tonight."
"Well...thank you." After receiving this reply, Sun Yixie let go of the other party's hand with satisfaction.
…………
The next day, early in the morning, the news that Sun Yixie and Huang Donglai were attacked at the inn spread like wildfire and quickly spread throughout Dengzhou City.
But the person who brought the news naturally didn't know that Sun Yixie was attacked and killed instantly last night and "died once". People only knew that Chang Youfeng, the "scorpion" in "Snake, Scorpion, Spider Toad", laid a trap and ambush at the inn.
He flirted with poison from east to west, but was killed in the end.
At this time, the strength of Sun and Huang was further overestimated by their colleagues, because judging from the scene left in the inn lobby, the battle set up by Chang Youfeng would not have been possible even if it was replaced by Di Bujue.
Once you step in, you may not be able to escape intact...
Speaking of which, Di Bujue actually came to this inn that day.
Because in Di Bujue's eyes, or from the Cao Gang's point of view, Shuangxie was kind to them, and Gang Leader Di didn't know that these two guys came yesterday pretending to be old men in the name of "Hunyuan Star Gate"
Qixiong met. He thought there was some reason why these two young heroes came to Dengzhou City but did not go to Qixiong. Now, as soon as he got up early in the morning, he heard that Sun and Huang were in his territory.
After something like this happened to me, could he not come and take a look?
Unfortunately, this morning, Gang Leader Di and other martial arts people who had different mentality or purposes who wanted to see Shuangxiong all came to nothing.
These two turtles...oh no...the two scheming "young heroes" were very frightened after the attack last night. They were afraid that there would be other dangers here.
Therefore, after they rescued those who were stunned in the inn and explained the situation, they picked up their luggage and ran out of the city before dawn.
The two of them have a long trip this time. They will start from Dengzhou and go southwest all the way to Shu, to Fushun, and visit Huang Donglai's hometown.
And on the following journey, what Shuang Xie saw and encountered was naturally full of strange things, with dangers amidst the wonders, and harmony amidst dangers...
As for the details, let’s discuss them in the next volume...
