Chapter 40: The Five Earths Internal Elixir

  "Haha, come on, you're an old Yu." Jin Gang Cannon pinched the observation technique and saw my light blue aura.

  I was in a good mood and wanted to tease this guy, but it seems there's no chance now. I stuffed the inner elixir of the Five Elements Sun Yang Snake into his mouth, sat down on the ground with a thud, and took out my water bottle.

  "Lao Yu, what is this thing?" Jin Gang Cannon examined the inner elixir in his hand.

  "Snake eggs!" I said with a grin, taking a sip of my drink.

  "But you just said it was something about an internal elixir." Jin Gang Pao didn't dare to contradict him this time.

  "This is the inner elixir of that giant python, it's the essence of its many years of cultivation. Swallowing it can replenish your true yuan spiritual energy, you eat it." I said calmly.

  "Never mind, I'll just eat it myself. I'm so stupid, eating this thing won't do me any good anyway." Jingang Cannon is a man of his word.

  "I'm a water element, this thing is harmful and useless to me. You're an earth element, it's useful for you." I was telling the truth.

  No wonder this guy insisted on choosing to join the engineering corps at first, after all, it's still the stuff in his bones that's haunting him, are people who belong to the earth element of the five elements really fond of digging holes?

  "Lao Yu, what's your attribute?" Jin Gang Cannon picked up the inner elixir and sniffed it in front of his nose.

  "Water, you're just right for me, so when I'm with you, I always seem to be unlucky." I said with a smile.

  "Haha, haha, haha~ Old Yu, then I won't be polite, is this all you're going to eat?" As soon as Jin Gang Cannon made a sound, I knew he was moved. This guy's spiritual energy accumulates too slowly, and this thing just happens to supplement what he lacks. It would be strange if he didn't get excited.

  "You don't eat like this, and you still want the cook to stir-fry a couple of dishes for you?" I scolded.

  "Earlier that guy looked so ugly, I hope its dan won't be poisonous?" King Kong Cannon was still making the final confirmation.

  "Give it back to me, I'm taking it away from you." I pretended to grab it.

  "Let's eat, let's eat..." Jin Gang Pao said as he swallowed the inner elixir in his hand.

  "This guy waited nervously for half a day, seeing no unusual signs, and only then did he relax and stretch out his hand to observe the aura around him to confirm the effect. 'Lao Yu, I was originally silver-white, how come it's red now?'"

  "Grass, you think you're eating ambrosia or something, that's not bad, I reckon it hasn't been fully absorbed yet, let's wait a bit more." I went through several months of accumulating energy from silver to red back then.

  "Lao Yu, has the formation here been broken?" Jin Gang Pao handed me a cigarette and said that to be honest, the air here wasn't suitable for smoking, but previously I was too tense, now that my mind had relaxed, I felt my whole body go soft and lazy.

  "No!" I put down the kettle and lit a cigarette instead.

  "What? What's going on? Where are we going to dig now?" Jin Gang pao sat up with a start.

  "What the hell, those vengeful spirits were drawn over to get beaten up back then. Now those soldier's souls have long since fled and no one is bothering them anymore. Besides, with such good feng shui here, I reckon even if you tried to drive them out with a whip, they wouldn't be able to leave."

  "That's great, let's go Old Yu, what about these guys?" Jin Gang Cannon pointed to the few piles of rotten meat not far away.

  "Digging graves and tombs, greatly damaging the virtue of the dead, the objects buried with them are extremely evil." I have no sympathy for these guys, you should have thought about this when you were spending money lavishly outside.

  "Does this count?" As soon as I spoke, Jin Gang Pao was startled and hastily pulled out the few ancient coins he had picked up earlier from his pocket, which were already covered in green rust, and asked me with a trembling hand, leaving me crying with laughter.

  I and Jin Gangpao finally came out of the thieves' cave at dusk. Breathing in the fresh air of the mountains, smelling the scent of trees and green grass, it seemed that everything before was just an illusory dream.

  "Lao Yu, do you want these things?" Jin Gang Pao asked me, pointing at the stuff left behind by those grave robbers earlier.

  "No." I said, crouching down and rummaging through my backpack.

  "Lao Yu, are you ready to burn incense?" Jin Gang Pao asked, looking at what I was doing with a puzzled expression.

  "It's not just for show, tying these incense sticks together is to make a delayed ignition device. When the incense burns down to the tied matches, it will ignite an open flame, which will ignite the dry grass, and the dry grass will ignite the dead branches, and the dead branches will detonate the pesticide."

  "What exactly do you want to do?" Jin Gang Pao still didn't understand what I meant.

  "We've only entered the main tomb chamber, logically speaking, there should be other chambers in front, more or less with some antiques and whatnot. Even if there's nothing, the tools used to excavate the tomb and the soldiers' weapons are over a thousand years old, they should have some value. Anyway, it's not dangerous here anymore, let the country take care of it, that's also considered doing a good deed." I said as I lit the incense and put on my backpack.

  Under my urging, I and Jin Gang Pao returned to the parking place at the fastest speed. Driving to find an IC card phone standing by the roadside, picked up the phone and reported the police: "Hello, 110? There are people digging ancient tombs on the south side of Yuqing Garden Cemetery, you go quickly... Don't ask who we are, you go quickly, they have arranged explosives to blow up the tomb..."

  "Old Yu, you're really something! Luckily you brought the incense and matches. Otherwise, it's unlikely the police would have gone searching in the mountains on a dark night like this." Jingang Cannon finally understood the purpose of my device now.

  "This is ridiculous! The incense was meant to be burned for my wife's uncle, and the matches were taken from the hotel." I said, pulling out the matchbox and pointing at the words on it.

  I hung up the phone and found a good restaurant with Jin Gang Pao to treat ourselves, but when we pushed the door in, we were stopped by the welcoming lady "Sir, you can't enter because of your improper attire."

  We both stared blankly, looked at ourselves, covered in dust from head to toe, dirty and disheveled, with pine needles still stuck on the cannon, our appearance was indeed not very good.

  We simply brushed off the dust on our bodies, and then they let us in. With a weight off my mind, I was particularly hungry, and that eating appearance plus the dust all over me made the other customers at several tables frown, Jin Gang Cannon raised his head and saw those disdainful expressions, unhappy, put down the chamber pot he was holding and opened his mouth "What are you looking at? We may not be dressed well but we dare to order Buddha jumps wall, you're dressed so well why don't you?"

  "This roar is really useful, no one dares to underestimate us anymore. In fact, others don't even dare to look at us. I pushed the Golden Cannon and said 'Hurry up and eat, after finishing we still have to go back, I've also arranged a ghost over there.'"

  "What's the point of having something like that?" Jin Gang Pao asked in confusion.

  "Hehe, keep it secret for now..."

  After finishing dinner, Jin Gang Cannon beckoned the waiter with a loud shout and took out 200 yuan from his pocket.

  "The waiter calculates the bill and says 'don't need to find change, consider it a tip'."

  "Sir, you..."

  "I told you, no need to look!" Jin Gang Pao shouted loudly, deliberately scanning the tables of customers who had frowned earlier.

  "Sir, two hundred is not enough!"
