Breaking the Void and Cultivating Immortals

Chapter 2 Distress in the Mountains

Yin Xiuxuan returned home and told his mother about the rituals of the boy. Although Yin's mother didn't know whether the name was good, she was very happy when she learned that her son had a name. She only said that Yin's father would come back to celebrate after a while.

As the only stonemason in the village, Father Yin's craftsmanship is praised by everyone, whether it is carving carvings, making stone tools, or exploring and quarrying.In the past few days, I have work in my hands and need to go to the mountains to collect stones, so I went out early and will not be back until evening.

Seeing the sun go down, Father Yin returned home, heard about Yin Xiuxuan's name, repeated it several times, but couldn't think of a reason, then asked Yin Xiuxuan the names of the others, and then praised: "Little Xuanzi's name is good, it is You are more knowledgeable than their names, and you must thank the patriarch properly when you see the patriarch in the future!"

When Yin's mother heard the words, she also felt that what Zhang's father said was reasonable, so she nodded in agreement.Only Yin Xiuxuan didn't know why, he was still the same, but he took the initiative to find a piece of half-waste stone to practice carving after dinner, this is the homework given to him by Yin's father since he was six years old.

Father Zhang once said that there are three basic skills of a stonemason, one is carving, the other is quarrying, and the third is blacksmithing.The so-called carving is to carve rough stones into various styles, or decorations, or utensils used; while quarrying is to go up the mountain to explore and collect stones; as for blacksmithing, it is one of the homework of stonemasons that few people know. A mason quarries or carves during the day, and at night he has to temper various iron tools, so a mason can also be counted as half a blacksmith.

However, Yin's father once said that between the age of six and nine, Yin Xiuxuan's body did not mature, he only needed to learn carving every day, and the other two subjects had to wait until Yin Xuan's age.

As for Yin Xuan's carvings, he doesn't limit himself to flowers, birds, insects, fish, calligraphy, painting and writing, as long as he can think of them, he can engrave them.In the past, Yin Xuan only chose some simple patterns or characters to carve, but this night, on this stone, there was a full side of characters carved, but it was the four characters "He De He Neng". If you look carefully, you can see On the corner, there are dozens of words neatly engraved, "Yin Xiaolan".

That night, when Yin Xiuxuan finished carving, Yin's father told Yin Xiuxuan to let him start to learn from him to go up the mountain to explore and quarry, and gave Yin Xiuxuan a set of quarrying tools, so that Yin Xiuxuan could start training his own quarrying iron parts.Yin Xiuxuan has been studying sculpture for three years. Seeing that his father wanted to teach him two other basic skills, Yin Xiuxuan, who was a little lazy at first, readily agreed.

On the second day, Father Yin and Yin Xiuxuan went up the mountain to quarry.On the mountain, Yin's father told Yin Xuan his common sense of walking in the mountains and his experience in prospecting and quarrying for many years, and asked Yin Xiuxuan to quarry the stones by himself and go back to carve by himself.Back home, Yin's father also taught Yin Xiuxuan the method of forging iron pieces and various precautions.

Yin Xiuxuan learned quickly and worked very hard. In one year, he learned what Yin's father taught. It's lacking, but it's just experience.

Over the past year, Yin Xuangao has risen a little taller, almost a young man with a weak crown; although his body is not as strong as Yin's father, it is very well-proportioned, and his muscles are slightly raised, showing his energy.Friends of the same age in the village were amazed when they saw Yin Xuan's changes.

Even Yin Xiaolan would always be taller than anyone else whenever she saw Yin Xiuxuan.But in the end, they all found to their dismay that they were no match for Yin Xiuxuan.At this time, Yin Xiuxuan always used his peripheral vision to look at the girl's pouting appearance, but when Yin Xiaolan turned her head to look at him, he quickly turned her head away.

Seeing Yin Xiuxuan's changes over the past year, Yin's father felt that Yin Xiuxuan was basically qualified as a blacksmith, so he encouraged Yin Xiuxuan to go up the mountain to quarry stones alone.

One day, Yin Xiuxuan went up the mountain to quarry stones as usual, and when he came to a mountain depression, Yin Xiuxuan found that several palm-sized gravels turned out to be rare and pure white marble. Based on the experience he learned from Yin's father, Yin Xiuxuan climbed hundreds of Mi finally found a few pieces of white marble that were sufficient, but a problem arose. The stone was a bit bigger, and even Yin Xiuxuan’s strength honed all year round was not enough to transport the whole piece back to the village. it's dark.In the end, Yin Xuan decided to spend the night on the spot, and quarried the stones overnight to make blanks, which can be easily transported back to the village after the weight is reduced.

For those of the same age in the village, it is unimaginable to spend the night on the mountain, but for Yin Xiuxuan, who has gone up the mountain with his father for a year and has gone up the mountain by himself many times, it is nothing.

Yin Xiuxuan first used tools to clean out the surrounding soil, took out a drill to drill a blasthole at the selected location, and then took out the gunpowder he had prepared from his backpack and put it into the blasthole.This gunpowder is an ancestral formula in Yin Xiuxuan's family. It can accurately calculate the ignition time and power, and it can also be waterproof and moisture-proof to a certain extent after being treated with a secret recipe. It can be called the treasure of the Yin family stonemason.

Yin Xuan ignited the fuse, and immediately ran away tens of feet, muttering: "Five...four...three...two...one."

As soon as the word "one" was out of the mouth, there was a violent explosion, and thick smoke rose from the place where the gunpowder was buried, and countless broken stones were splashed, smashing a piece of mountain land with a loud bang.

After the thick smoke cleared, Yin Xiuxuan ran over to check whether the stone was good or not. Seeing that the stone was lifted out intact, Yin Xiuxuan showed a smug smile on his face.

After packing up the stones he wanted, Yin Xiuxuan began to look for a place to stay for tonight.

For Yin Xiuxuan, although they are also sleeping in the mountains, there are differences among them. The top one is a cave, which is not afraid of wind and rain, and there are no mosquitoes. In addition, there have never been any beasts in this mountain forest, so naturally, he is not afraid of any sudden beasts home.

Yin Xiuxuan searched his memory, remembering that Yin's father told him that there was a cave somewhere in this mountain forest, carrying stones on his back, Yin Xiuxuan searched for the place he remembered.

Fortunately, Yin Xiuxuan remembered clearly that when the sun was about to set, Yin Xiuxuan found the cave, packed up his things, Yin Xiuxuan took out the prepared dry food and started to eat dinner.

While eating dinner, Yin Xiuxuan was thinking about how to deal with these stones and what to carve. Suddenly there was a "hissing" sound in his ears. Yin Xiuxuan walked to the entrance of the cave and looked out. The object is sliding.

"Snake!" Yin Xiuxuan was startled.

Although there are no ferocious beasts in the mountains and forests of Yinjia Village, there are still snakes. Yin Xiuxuan has also seen how Yin's father dealt with snakes, and he himself has dealt with them himself.I remember that time when I met a poisonous snake, under Yin's father's guidance, Yin Xiuxuan slowly took out a long steel drill and inserted it into the snake's seven inches.At that time, Yin Xiuxuan's four-year carving skills were brought into play, and his hands were fast and accurate. In the end, the snake became a delicious meal for the father and son, and it was considered a great supplement.

Originally seeing a snake, Yin Xiuxuan should not be surprised.If you are lucky, you can have a bigger dinner.But increase the number of snakes from one or two to three or four, how about five or six, tens or hundreds!Yin Xiuxuan is facing this problem now, what he is facing is not one or two snakes, but a large area.Hundreds of snakes watched Yin Xiuxuan spit out letters, and Yin Xiuxuan couldn't help being frightened.

Seeing so many snakes, Yin Xiuxuan gave up his plan to continue dinner early on. Taking advantage of the twilight sunset to observe carefully, he found that the snakes surrounded the cave, and unless Yin Xiuxuan grew a pair of wings immediately, he would not be able to escape.

With a thought, Yin Xiuxuan slowly took out a kit that he had prepared from his bag, tore it open with a bang, grabbed a handful of yellow powder from it, looked at the direction, and sprinkled it on both sides, leaving only A narrow passage was opened in the center, and then a few bamboo tubes were dropped in the center one after another, and then slowly retreated into the depths of the cave.

Those snakes seemed to have identified Yin Xiuxuan, and they took a step forward every time Yin Xiuxuan took a step back, so Henry Zhang retreated into the dark cave, and these snakes also slid along the passage where Yin Xiuxuan did not sprinkle the yellow powder.

Yin Xiuxuan looked at the situation and kept calculating secretly in his heart. Seeing that these snakes were about to enter the bamboo tube area, he took out a fire pocket and threw it on the ground.

Although the group of snakes looked spiritual, they were still inferior to humans. Seeing Yin Xiuxuan's movements, they didn't know why, they just slid forward blindly, wanting to swallow the thing in front of them.

Seeing this, Yin Xiuxuan felt relieved, took out a long iron brazing rod from the backpack with his backhand, and held it in his hand; while counting slowly: "Five...four...three...two...one."

The word "one" exited, only to hear a series of explosions, it was the bamboo tubes that Yin Xiuxuan placed at the entrance of the cave.

It is said that Yin Xiuxuan's bamboo tube is also the method uploaded by the ancestors, but it is used for quarrying stone materials in a hurry.The kit that Yin Xiuxuan tore open just now was made by Yin's mother to protect him from mosquitoes. In addition to various herbs, there is realgar powder in it, so the snakes only enter the hole from the center.

There was an explosion, accompanied by snakes flying all over the sky, but most of these snakes were in pieces.A puff of thick smoke slowly dissipated, and the snakes that were alive but fainted by the explosion were gradually recovering. Seeing the opportunity, Yin Xiuxuan stepped up a few steps, waved the iron rod in his hand, and aimed at the live snakes seven inches into it.

In just a few breaths, five surviving snakes became the record of Yin Xiuxuan's iron rod. After scanning for a week, there were three more snakes in the distance.Yin Xiuxuan wanted to take advantage of the three snakes before they recovered, but it was counterproductive. Before he could rush forward, the three snakes rushed towards him.

Encountering on a narrow road, the brave wins, Yin Xiuxuan suddenly aroused boundless courage, swung the iron rod as usual, and plunged towards the nearest snake.

"呲"

Iron brazing### The snake was seven inches, Yin Xiuxuan had no time to shake off the snake on the iron brazing rod, so he plunged into another snake.

"呲"

Yin Xiuxuan successfully dealt with another snake, leaving the last and most dangerous snake.The snake had already reached ten inches below Yin Xiuxuan's feet.

"Hmm~"

With a muffled grunt, Yin Xiuxuan finally pierced into the snake's seven inches at the moment the snake bit his calf, but it was a step too late, and the venom spewed by the snake's teeth poured into Yin Xiuxuan's body instantly.

In an instant, Yin Xiuxuan felt a needle-like pain when his calf was pierced, but after a while, he couldn't feel anything on his leg.He was not feeling well, and his movements were not slow. He quickly tore off the cloth strip from the hem of his clothes and wrapped it around his calf tightly on the upper part of the bite wound; then he took out a dagger from his bag, scratched at the bite wound, and cut it open. A wound, squeezed the wound with both hands, and stopped when the black blood flowed out, and the bright red blood remained; finally, he took out a handful of herbs and stuffed them into his mouth, chewed a few times, spit them out in the palm of his hand, and pressed them on the wound.

After finishing this series, Yin Xiuxuan already felt dizzy, and suddenly heard a scream, and then with dim eyes, Yin Xiuxuan saw a few figures appearing in front of him, seeming to say something, and then Yin Xiuxuan passed out completely.
