The Mid-Autumn Festival is approaching, and the golden breeze brings coolness.
From the second day after arriving in Luoyang, Sun Yixie and Huang Donglai settled in Zhengyimen with peace of mind.
The two people who were originally thick-skinned enough to eat and sleep there naturally became more unscrupulous after sending a piece of "unparalleled magic" to Master Shen.
Every day, these two guys just eat, drink and have fun. When they are interested, they go out and wander around. When they are too lazy to go out, they just wander around the Justice Gate, looking here and there, asking here and there... which makes Shen Youran suffer financially and mentally. The pressure is increasing day by day.
Shen Youran originally wanted to use these two "good brothers" to attract the attention of the outside world and facilitate his actions, but he never expected that they would overturn his army and make him even more constrained.
Just like that, after a few days, Shen Youran couldn't stand it anymore. With these two guys around, it was inconvenient for him to engage in conspiracy... He might as well move out by himself.
As a result, the dignified leader of the Zhengyi Sect was reduced to the situation where he could no longer stay in his hometown and had to live temporarily in a villa in the south of the city... Of course, every day during the day, he still had to go across half of the city to get there. He showed up at the Gate of Justice and stayed there for two or three hours to do some work to hide his presence from others.
And after paying so much price, what did Shen Youran gain from it?
It was just a secret book that he couldn't understand at all, and only Sun and Huang could decipher it; just like the flower in the mirror, the moon in the water... it seemed to be close at hand, but in fact it was out of reach.
Let's talk about two things. Let's not talk about the Master Shen who was "changed". Let's talk about Sun and Huang.
Their plan was executed very successfully; not only did the two of them turn against Shen Youran, temporarily cutting off the other party's possibility of assassinating them, they also made use of the power of the Justice Sect to make their "excessive high-profile" problem no longer an issue. No more questions.
Nowadays, even if some people think that they are too sharp, they dare not do anything to them... After all, they all live in Zhengyimen and are brothers to Shen Youran, what else can you say?
The so-called "shady" means that the more secretive you are and how you act and act, the more likely you are to be discussed and criticized by others, because the act of covering up will make people think that you still have some scruples.
But if you adopt the attitude of "Yes, I'm clearly telling the truth, and anyone who disagrees will come forward," those people will not dare to speak out; because in that situation, no one wants to stand out.
That's how human nature is.
When Sun Yixie and Huang Donglai first became famous in the city, almost everyone wanted to find fault with them and see how powerful they were.
But after these two people moved into the Gate of Justice and acted like "we just have a backer and a shady background," most people only dared to bury their jealousy in their hearts and shut up.
These days, not only no one dares to provoke them, but there are also many people who want to make friends with them.
Faced with these people, Sun Yixie and Huang Dongliu were able to cope with it with ease; their mental ages were much older than their actual ages, and their minds were very mature. Although this was their first time in the world and they lacked some experience in the world, they still They still understand the ways of the world very well.
Especially Sun Yixie... he is very accurate in reading people.
What kind of person is a close friend and what kind of person is a cunning villain, he will understand after just one or two contacts.
For example, the kind of guy who obviously doesn't know you very well, but after a few glasses of wine, keeps saying things like "We will be brothers forever" and "We are closer than family members" must not be trusted.
When there is something wrong, there is no one. This is the kind of person I am talking about...when he has something to do, he will "talk to you" and when you have something to do, he will "reason" with you.
Even if Sun Yixie knew how to use this kind of trick, he wouldn't bother to use it... because the only people who can be deceived by this trick are inexperienced children or people with intelligence like Lei Buji.
By the way, talking about Lei Buji... Ever since Sun and Huang helped him negotiate the "participation quota", he has basically become their follower, and he likes to come to them whenever he has nothing to do; Sun Yi
Xiehe Huang Donglai didn't mind taking him to play with him, not because this kid was stupid (he just didn't understand the ways of the world, not mentally retarded), but because Lei Buji was a very sincere person, wouldn't lie, and wasn't bad at all.
Seriously, there is no harm in making friends with this kind of person.
The days passed like this, and the young heroes and heroines who rushed to Luoyang from all over the country to participate in the Young Heroes Association arrived one after another; people's focus gradually shifted from Sun Yixie and Huang Donglai to other places.
Originally, the two of them could have waited peacefully until the "literary test" on August 14th. Unexpectedly...just the day before the literary test, Huang Donglai made trouble again.
Since he was really a little free these days, he started to use his free time in the evening to do some "chemical experiments" in the room; so what to do with it? Naturally, he used the "Xie Gall" that Tie Monk Yihuai gave him some time ago.
"Yes.
Huang Donglai is quite confident in his character, and he feels he can control this kind of material that he has never seen before.
Therefore, after cutting some gallbladder powder and doing some experiments with several reagents he prepared, he believed that he had basically mastered the properties of this precious material.
Then he spent three days to refine the gallbladder into an elixir...
Many people think that alchemy should be a project that often takes seven, seven, forty-nine, or even ninety-nine and eighty-one days. It must be operated by a huge alchemy furnace, and someone must always watch the fire and control the firepower.
some type of……
In fact, if you think about it carefully, you will understand that these are useless operations.
The temperature that ancient furnace fires can produce is inherently limited. Many metals with high melting points cannot be processed at all, and the temperature control cannot be very precise. If you delay the refining process for dozens of days, what can be done?
What did it burn?
In fact, in those days, if you burned something for dozens of hours and didn't process it properly, the result would be the same if you burned it for dozens of days, which was meaningless.
The so-called "forty-nine days" and "eighty-one days" are widely circulated. The main reason is that many charlatans who use alchemy as a guise need such a time difference when committing fraud. With these dozens of days
The roundabout way makes it easier for these scammers to defraud food, drink, money, and escape during the period... If you come to the door and tell people that I can finish refining the elixir in an hour, won't you be a gangster when the furnace is turned on after an hour?
?That’s a lie?
To sum up, three days were enough for Huang Donglai to refine the elixir.
Of course, he is not Hu Lian. The Yellow Clan in Shuzhong does have something in the field of chemistry. As the young master of the Huang Clan, he has certain attainments in this area; before that, he poisoned Cao outside Hangzhou.
Helping the gangsters, using the concocted "poison bombs" to repel the bandits, cracking several poisons in the Luzhou serial case, and various poisoning methods when fighting Zijianhong... all are enough to prove that he is real
Has some strength.
The "Xie Dan Dan" he is currently refining is based on Huangmen's technology. He first conducted experiments on the materials to obtain the characteristics, and then completed it through careful and formulaic processing.
Otherwise...he wouldn't dare to eat it.
Yes, Huang Donglai actually took the elixir after he finished practicing it.
After all, there was only one, so he couldn't find someone to do experiments first. Besides, he felt that he had fully tested the chemical properties of the material before processing. Even if the final product failed to improve his power after eating it, he wouldn't be dead.
Unexpectedly, less than half an hour after eating, he found... that he couldn't carry out the gong.
And this is still a small matter...
When faced with a bigger problem, he felt that a large amount of internal energy was slowly accumulating in his Dantian, as if it was fermenting... more and more, making his belly swell and grow...
The strange thing is that in this situation, he didn't feel much discomfort, but he felt a little panicked when he looked at his growing belly, for fear that he would explode and die.
So, taking advantage of the darkness, he sneaked out of the room and knocked on Sun Yixie's door next door.
Sun Yixie had just finished practicing and was lying down. When he heard a knock on the door, he casually asked: "Who is it?"
"It's me..." Huang Donglai's low-voiced response came from outside the door.
When Sun Yixie heard that it was Huang Donglai, he didn't think much. He got up from the bed, walked to the door in a few steps, and opened the door.
As soon as the door opened, Huang Donglai came into the room by himself, sat down at the table, and said after sitting down: "Brother Sun, I seem to be in a serious situation."
Sun Yixie closed the door and looked back at him. After reading it, he looked puzzled and asked, "What is there hiding in your stomach?"
At this point, Huang Donglai had nothing to hide, so he told the whole story about taking the self-refined elixir, and lifted up his clothes to show off his pig-like belly.
Sun Yixie became extremely happy after listening to it halfway. After listening to it, the first thing he said was to complain: "Did you make the 'Huang's Xiangsheng Pill'? The effect is immediate, right?"
"You are so ridiculous! I am so panicked right now." Huang Donglai said loudly, "By the way, is there anything you can do?"
"What can I do? I'm not a doctor, and you made the elixir yourself. You don't even know what will happen if you eat it. You ask me?" Sun Yixie spread his hands, and what he said made sense.
"Then why don't you help me find a doctor?" Huang Donglai said.
His request was reasonable, because it was inconvenient for him to move around like he was now, and secondly, it would be a bit embarrassing if others saw him.
"Oh... ok, ok..." Sun Yixie said, getting ready to put on his coat, "Just wait, I'll..."
Unexpectedly, he was only halfway through what he said, and all he could hear was...
predict------------
Huang Donglai suddenly let out a long and loud fart that was rare in the world.
Along with the long fart sound, Huang Donglai's bulging belly slowly returned to normal...
"Damn it!" Sun Yixie's reaction was still slow. When he smelled the smell, his whole room was already filled with it.
Let's talk about Mr. Guo's cross talk words - this is not fart, it is shit if it is hooked up with gravy.
Sun Yi cursed the street and rushed out of the room. Where is Huang Donglai... After his Dantian felt comfortable, he instinctively took a deep breath. After taking it, he almost fainted, and then he staggered.
He ran out of the basement.
A moment later, when the disciples of the Zhengyi Sect came over after hearing the noise of the fight, they saw... Sun Yixie and Huang Donglai actually fighting each other in the courtyard.
One of them cursed and said: "You made a damn fart pill and came out to kiss me and assassinate me, right?"
The other one was replying: "I told you it was an accident! I almost died in it!"
The two of them usually have a good relationship. Although they often "chat", they have never made a move, so the people at the Justice Gate were dumbfounded when they saw this scene. They didn't know whether they should go up and persuade them.
.
While the disciples of Zhengyi Sect were hesitating, the stench from Sun Yixie's room had slowly spread into the courtyard, and many people standing close to the door had faintly smelled it... Fortunately, this courtyard
It's quite big, and it's in the open air, so the smell dissipates quickly, otherwise everyone would probably be infected.
Finally, without waiting for anyone to persuade them, the two guys fought for a while and then stopped.
Originally, the two of them didn't really do anything, and neither of them used their internal strength. It was just a slapstick fight at most. Moreover, Huang Donglai discovered at this moment that even after "draining the energy", he still couldn't use his internal strength.
.
To make a long story short, after sending those at Zhengyi Gate away on the grounds of "having a few quarrels after drinking too much," the two left the door of Brother Sun's room open, and then went to Huang Donglai's room together.
After some discussion, they decided to keep the matter a secret for now. Maybe Huang Donglai's symptoms will disappear naturally tomorrow... If he still can't do his kung fu tomorrow, it's okay. Anyway, tomorrow is the "literary test" and "competition"
It won't be until the day after tomorrow. If he hasn't recovered yet, then let's wait. At least for now, Huang Donglai doesn't have the symptoms that seem like he might die, so let's put it off for a while.
There was nothing else going on that night. At Sun Yixie's request, the two of them exchanged rooms and went to rest.
Just like that, the next day arrived.
On August 14th, the opening of the Young Heroes Association and the literary test are finally here...
