Chapter 17: Zhu and Yang obtain the precious Buddhist scripture; Huang Shiren goes east

  Ladies and gentlemen, this is a matter of great importance in human relationships, especially when making friends or finding a partner. There's a saying that goes: "People match people, flowers match flowers, rotten girls match yellow cucumbers", which is truly the most truthful saying under heaven.

  Mei Shan, Tian Shan, Ren Jian, these four cheap people. If you say that Jin Da Sheng, Zhu Zi Zhen, and Yang Xian are together like a toilet pit, then Huang Shi Ren is a piece of crap, a toilet stirrer. A toilet pit can only stink up the air, but with a toilet stirrer, it will make people vomit to death.

  Shameless and black-hearted, Huang Shiren said something about hugging someone's thigh at a banquet in Meishan, but the three villains not only didn't feel any shame, instead they all agreed with both hands, responding in unison, truly too shameless.

  "Big brother is wise! I, Jin Dacheng, don't obey heaven or earth, but I do obey big brother's magnanimous and righteous demeanor! These words are truly impressive!"

  "Alright alright, big brother is indeed a rare flower in our demon world!"

  "Nothing more to say, following big brother means having meat to eat!"

  Three villains, fawning and flattering, Huang Shiren is delighted.

  "Big brother, I don't know about this thigh, how are you planning to hold it?" Jin Dashi poured a cup of wine for Huang Shiran and asked.

  "Nature is to cut off the teachings of Tianjiao and hug the thigh of the master, but before hugging the thigh, I plan to travel around, take a look at the beautiful scenery, make some friends, and get some goods, otherwise what can be used as a gift?" Huang Shiren's words made the three people look at each other, their eyelids twitching.

  This guy is going out, I don't know which poor devil will run into him.

  "Big brother, we'll go with you!" The three of them had all seen Huang Shiren's ways and knew that following him would definitely bring benefits, so they all wanted to follow him to enjoy the good fortune.

  "We three brothers, we've made a vow to share good fortune and bad. This time going out, the danger is extreme, who knows if we'll encounter someone ruthless and end up dead. The four of us on the road, our target is too big. Moreover, this family business that we've worked so hard to build, you and I have both gone out, leaving behind a group of children at home. If one day some villain passes by, won't they be able to take advantage of them?"

  Huang Shiren didn't want to bring everyone along, although it's true that there's strength in numbers. But with four demons together, they would be too eye-catching and wouldn't fit his style of secretly striking from the shadows. Moreover, Mei Shan was their base, and he couldn't afford to lose it.

  "Big brother is right." The three of them also knew what was important and unimportant, so they just nodded.

  "So, Da Sheng will go with me, and Third Brother and Fourth Brother will stay behind to take care of the house. Once I've made a fortune, I'll come back, and you and I can live like immortals again, how about that?" said Huang Shi Ren.

  "Big brother, heaven has eyes and let us four brothers gather together. It's been just a few days and we're going to part ways again, it's really heart-wrenching." Zhu Ziren was actually sniffling away tears, making Jin Dashi and Yang Xian's eyes red-rimmed as well.

  These three people have always been drifting and living alone, but they have never experienced the warmth of relationships. Huang Shiren is a villain, but at least he has some sense of brotherhood. When it's time to part ways, the three of them are genuinely sad.

  Huang Shiren's sharp tongue and thick skin couldn't hide his emotions as he watched the three of them.

  "Third brother, don't talk nonsense. We still have days to meet again." Huang Shiren patted the shoulders of the three and smiled: "After I and Da Sheng leave, you two take good care of the house. Remember my words, nothing is more important than life. If you can win a fight, cut it off at the root; if not, slip away quietly. Don't be foolish and die in a futile struggle, got it?"

  "Brother, take note."

  Huang Shiren nodded and said: "I know the abilities of you two brothers, before I leave, I will refine some magic treasures for you, so that my brother can rest assured."

  "Thank you, Big Brother!" As soon as Huang Shiren said he would give them a magic treasure, Zhu Ziren and Yang Xian's eyes lit up. They knew the toxicity of Huang's magic treasures better than anyone else, and they couldn't help but be delighted at the prospect of having one themselves.

  After the wine party, Huang Shiren entered the cave mansion and called Xie Ding, the leader of the mountain demons, to his front. He let him bring people to move all the remaining golden essence that Wujin Old Ancestor had accumulated with great difficulty to his own cave mansion.

  "Zhu Zi is truly iron-toothed and copper-mouthed, doesn't need any hidden weapons, and his personality isn't suited for using hidden weapons either. It's just that his precious sword was ruined by me, and he hasn't had a suitable replacement since. I should forge him a new weapon." Huang Shi Ren rubbed his head, thinking about what kind of weapon to make for Old Zhu.

  Knives, guns, swords, spears, axes, hooks, and forks - after thinking about it, I feel that they are all too uncreative.

  "Haha, got it!" Huang Shiren had an epiphany and released the Tai Xiang Zheng Lei, refining the golden essence. After several hours, he successfully refined a certain object.

  Behold this object: Yellow Three himself moves wind and thunder, Golden Essence personally adds charcoal dust. His body is adorned with the six celestial bodies in a row of five stars, his body follows the four seasons according to the eight nodes. The short and long, up and down, determine the universe, left and right, yin and yang separate day and night. The six lines of the divine general follow the heavenly rules, the eight trigrams and stars rely on the Dipper array. Raise the fierce flames and millet light, lower the violent wind and fluttering auspicious snow. In the world, what kind of soldier is this? In the world, there is no such iron. With body changes that can be kept in mind, freely turning over according to the oral formula. Named the magical treasure Wujin Chopper, for the sake of brotherhood, establish a famous reputation. What fear do you have with your copper head and iron brain, a body of steel? The chopper arrives, soul disappears, spirit energy leaks!

  Huang Shiren refined this weapon for Zhu Zhen, referring to the famous weapon of Tian Peng Yuan Shuai in later generations, a nine-toothed iron rake!

  This nail rake is forged from the innate black gold essence, merged with the heavenly thunder of Tai Xiang, weighing 7,048 kilograms for the handle alone. When wielded, it truly generates a mighty gust of wind, with each movement accompanied by thunder.

  Huang Shiren's refining method became more and more pure, with a single-minded desire to refine a good treasure. After finishing the refinement, he was pleased with himself, feeling a small sense of satisfaction. Then, turning back to look at the golden essence, he secretly exclaimed that it wasn't good!

  Grandma's, just focusing on herself to refine it and enjoy the process, didn't consider the materials, after finishing the nail rake, the remaining golden essence was only a few hundred kilograms, obviously unable to refine another decent magic treasure.

  "Give Old Zhu a five-thousand-plus-pound nail rake, if you give Yang Xian a few hundred pounds of stuff, Yang Xian will definitely say I'm biased and hurt the brotherly righteousness." Huang Shiran's brain turned quickly, and he smiled: "Since we can't refine a weapon, let's just refine a hidden instrument."

  Yang Xian's magic treasure was a white light in his mouth, which was the original body of Yang Jing's demon light. Shooting it out would make people unable to open their eyes, and then they could take advantage of the opportunity to behead them. It is said that this white light is fierce, but it is obviously not effective against high-ranking officials. Giving him a dark weapon to refine would be pretty good.

  After taking a look at the remaining few hundred kilograms of golden essence, it's clear that a large dark artifact can't be refined, only a small and delicate one can be made.

  Huang Shiren's hands formed a seal, summoning the Tai Xiang Zheng Lei. He then refined several hundred kilograms of golden essence for several hours, finally refining out 81 golden needles!

  What a great golden needle! As thin as hair, as powerful as thunder, flashing brightly in the air, dodging and weaving with incredible speed, divine and magical! Truly the best product for traveling abroad to commit crimes and escape punishment!

  Huang Shiren was exhausted after a whole night of busy work, spitting out white foam, and dozing off for a while. He was soon awakened by Zhu Ziren and Yang Xian, who had been waiting anxiously for the whole night.

  Huang Shiren handed over two magical treasures to the two of them, and they were so delighted that they danced with joy, as if they were mad.

  "Good brother! This pitchfork is infinitely stronger than my sword, especially the weight, it's tailor-made for Old Zhu's two hands! And this style, brother is wise, knowing that Old Zhu is a unique person! In the future, I'll use it to send those fairy people flying!"

  "Brother, this golden needle is better than my white light. One throw and it hits the opponent's 81 major acupoints. Even a spider or scorpion can't escape! Understated yet powerful, endless and continuous, that's what I pursue! In the future, I'll shoot him to death!"

  These two scoundrels, having received the treasure, were overjoyed and didn't know what to say to Huang Shiren, they had truly given their hearts to Old Huang.

  This is a grand joyous occasion in heaven and on earth, and it's inevitable to set up a wine feast to celebrate. After drinking for three days and three nights, Huang Shiren and Jin Dashi packed their bags and finally set off on their journey.

  "Good brother! When you're out, it's not like being at home. The world is like a dog, people's hearts are treacherous. If you encounter someone who likes to bully the weak, use your golden finger to blast their butt. If you meet someone even more shameless than you, quickly fly away and escape. No matter when, remember that Mei Mountain has a home, and also, if you meet a fairy or a freak, bring back a basketful, let's all get together and create some babies, and plant this flag of justice all over the mountain!"

  "Brother, you're good! I know you have a thick skin and a black belly, but words spoken outside can hit nails, traveling far to meet enemies, life has only one thread, like a cucumber, once picked it won't grow back, fallen and thorny flowers bloom. Be careful in all things, don't boast with your mouth, when hitting someone's head, you must be ruthless, don't let the enemy escape, running away also requires style, and make people unable to look directly."

  "Listen up, little brother! I've got one thing to tell you: your big brother is the backbone of our family, don't let him die in vain. Always stay by his side and protect him with all your heart, never leave his side for even half a step. If he's being bullied, stand up for him; if he's being unreasonable, calm him down. When he drinks, stop him from overdrinking; when he visits brothels, pay the bill; when he commits crimes, take the fall for him; and when he gets into trouble, bail him out!"

  At the crossroads, four poor people hold hands and look at each other with tears in their eyes, yet they are speechless and choked with emotion.

  Zhu Zhen and Yang Xiansheng repeatedly instructed, entrusted every word, fearing that any trouble would be missed. After finishing, Huang Shiren said to Jin Dashi, after finishing, Jin Dashi continued to say to Huang Shiren, speaking with foam in their mouths, speaking with tears in their eyes, listening to Huang Shiren's heart feeling sour and sweet, with a lot of flavor, only then did he know what brotherly love was.

  From sunrise to sunset, the four villains drank farewell wine and split into two paths, one going out to make a name for themselves and the other returning home.

  "Two younger brothers, you must take care of yourselves. Wait for my good news, brother will make a name for himself and become successful, and I'll definitely bring you two to enjoy the blessings!" Watching the backs of Zhu Ziren and Yang Xian, Huang Shiren wiped away his tears, took Jin Dashi with him, and left Meishan, looking back at every step.

  Out of the mountain, the two did not dare to drive the demon cloud again, transformed into human form, and became two green-clad Taoist priests, carrying a divination flag, slowly heading east.

  All along crossing prefectures and counties, seeing the endless worldly dust of human life.

  But wherever I went, ordinary people lived and worked in peace, roads were free of litter, and doors remained open at night. It was truly a paradise on earth.

  "It seems that Emperor Yi, this merchant king, is doing a good job, truly a good person. Huang Shiren felt deeply moved, seeing the common people so happy, his heart also joyful. But thinking again about several decades later, King Zhou's tyranny, wars breaking out everywhere, at that time these ordinary people don't know how many can survive, these families reunited, don't know how many can be complete, his heart even more sour and bitter."

  They say that King Zhou is muddle-headed, but it must be that the immortal family has used some kind of bewildering technique on him. The immortal family's sealing of gods is indeed important, but for the sake of this sealing, suddenly causing countless civilians to die or get injured, in Huang Shiren's view, it is utterly unreasonable.

  Relying on Huang Shiren's past life of cheating and deceiving, the two of them lived a carefree and happy life along the way.

  That day, they arrived at a mountain pass, and the two of them were exhausted, panting for breath. In the distance, they saw a large relay station, with people swarming about, bustling with activity. They also saw wine shops and restaurants, so they went in to rest for the night.

  Arrived at the wine building, but saw a group of people blocking the street, all watching the excitement.

  "Beat this stinky Taoist to death! He actually ate my tyrant's meal and dared to flirt with my wife, what a dog's nerve! You guys, cut off his flesh and make it into filling!" The shopkeeper was seen holding his hands together, while the waiters were like wolves and tigers.

  "My god, who's so capable, doing it even better than me! Isn't this going to steal my old Huang's thunder?" Huang Shiren's interest was piqued as soon as he heard.
