Chapter 1381: The Otherworld (96)

Pang Xiaonan followed Zhao Sijiajia into the practice room, and caught a glimpse of the small iron ball nestled next to the big iron ball, so he pointed to the small iron ball and asked Zhao Sijiajia, "Have you practiced the small iron ball these days?"

Zhao Sijiajia nodded and said, "I practiced, but it was still a little difficult, and the practice was not very ideal." ”

Pang Xiaonan sat down on the bench and commanded Zhao Sijiajia flatly, "You practice and show me." ”

Zhao Sijiajia hesitated for a moment, and quickly walked to the side of the little iron ball, she took a deep breath, and then spit it out, and then she squatted down, and her hands turned into palms and clinged to the sides of the little iron ball.

After holding it for a moment, Zhao Sijia Jiajiao sighed, clasped her hands together, exerted her legs, exerted her strength to eat, and slowly lifted the small iron ball into the air.

Then, Zhao Sijiajia bent her arms into her arms, her stomach was pulled back, her thighs were pushed up, and she finally held the small iron ball firmly in her arms.

Pang Xiaonan was terrified watching from the sidelines, for fear that Zhao Sijiajia would accidentally miss the small iron ball and fall down, it was not good to hit her own feet, and it was not a matter of smashing it to the ground and smashing a hole.

Zhao Sijiajia fixed the small iron ball in her arms for a while, panting heavily, and then finally stabilized her breath, she carefully stretched out her left foot and took a step to the side.

After taking this step, Zhao Sijiajia's right foot was carefully lifted again, the center of gravity was on the left foot, and the right foot followed the direction of the left foot.

Pang Xiaonan was nervous watching from the side, not afraid that Zhao Sijiajia would smash the iron ball down, but looking at Zhao Sijiajia's small steps, he was too careful, and couldn't help sighing: "This is practice, this is simply an old lady with small feet learning to walk with crabs!"

Zhao Sijiajia moved step by step, and moved two or three meters in half a day, the small iron ball did not fall, but her feet were already sore. The small iron ball also weighs almost 100 pounds, for girls, not holding a doll, but holding an adult man in the move, its arduousness can be imagined.

But Pang Xiaonan finally couldn't stand it anymore, he waved his hand at Zhao Sijiajia and said, "You put down the iron ball first, and I'll say a few words." ”

When Zhao Sijiajia heard this, her luck sank, her legs bent, and she slowly lowered the iron ball from mid-air, and when the iron ball was almost 30 cm from the ground, she suddenly leaned forward and fell forward.

The iron ball touched the ground all of a sudden, and because it was filled with mercury, it bounced slightly on the ground twice, because it was pressed under Zhao Sijiajia's body, so it didn't jump very high, and it stopped after beating twice.

The small iron ball landed successfully, and Zhao Sijiajia also fell on the small iron ball exhausted, and struggled to stand up after a while.

Pang Xiaonan walked over, patted Zhao Sijiajia's shoulder, and said, "You can't practice like this, Jiajia." You are careful everywhere, beware of the iron ball falling, on the surface you are moving your body, but in fact, you are just carrying the iron ball, do you feel that if you continue to practice like this, it will help you improve your skills?"

Zhao Sijiajia shook her head, wiped the sweat on her forehead with the back of her hand, and said: "I also feel what you said, I feel that there is really no actual improvement in practicing like this, if it is to practice strength, it is better to practice weightlifting." ”

Pang Xiaonan continued to explain: "You have fallen into a misunderstanding, you want to ensure that the iron ball does not shake everywhere, but the purpose of building this iron ball is to make it shake, and then we control its shaking through our own strength, so that we can not only exercise our balance ability, but also practice the dark energy in the muscles, and control the dark energy." ”

Pang Xiaonan followed Zhao Sijiajia's example, clasped his hands together in front of his chest, and then walked back and forth like a crab, "Moving like you, balancing for the sake of balance, can only have a negative effect." ”

Retracting his posture, Pang Xiaonan walked in front of the big iron ball, turned his head to Zhao Sijiajia and said, "I'll show you how to use the iron ball to practice, you have a good look." ”

Pang Xiaonan exercised with both hands, put his palms on the big iron ball, and then shouted, exerted his hands to lift the big iron ball into the air, and quickly hugged his arms, holding the big iron ball firmly in front of his chest. Then he flipped his arms, and the big iron ball jumped up on both of his arms, and his arms were propped up in the air.

The big iron ball was not honest, swinging around on his arms, always trying to escape from his body, but he used his dark energy to firmly control it.

Then, Pang Xiaonan took a step forward with his left foot, and the support of his right foot did not move at all, which was equivalent to just stretching out his left foot and relying on the golden rooster of his right foot independently, the entire center of gravity remained unchanged, and it did not break the balance of the body, so the big iron ball did not react and leaned firmly on Pang Xiaonan's chest.

Then, Pang Xiaonan's left foot lightly touched the ground, and his right foot was quickly raised, at this time, the whole person's body moved forward, the center of gravity changed, the body was no longer static, and the big iron ball began to shake.

Wait until the right foot is stable, the body is stable, the big iron ball is no longer shaking, Pang Xiaonan then takes the left foot, and then, Pang Xiaonan's left foot lightly touches the ground, and the right foot is quickly raised, at this time, the whole person's body moves forward, the center of gravity changes, the body is no longer static, the big iron ball begins to shake, as Pang Xiaonan's right foot steps forward, the shaking amplitude of the big iron ball is getting bigger and bigger, Pang Xiaonan hurriedly doubles his arms to control the shaking amplitude of the big iron ball, until the big iron ball is no longer ready to move......

In this way, Pang Xiaonan's footwork is becoming more and more coherent, the amplitude of his steps is getting bigger and bigger, and the speed of his steps is getting faster and faster.

The big iron ball on Pang Xiaonan's arms, like waves fluctuating back and forth, with the intensification of Pang Xiaonan's movements, this turbulent force is also becoming more and more surging, and Pang Xiaonan has to concentrate and always be vigilant, for fear that he will accidentally shake the waves to the ground.

And every time the big iron ball seemed to be about to break away from Pang Xiaonan's body, Pang Xiaonan just pulled the big iron ball back into his control, so that Zhao Sijiajia, who was watching from the sidelines, experienced a rollercoaster mood.

After circling around the practice room twice, Pang Xiaonan let out a muffled snort, flipped his arms, and the big iron ball fell into his arms, and he used his arms to stick the big iron ball on his abdomen.

Then, he bent his knees and squatted, slowly moving the big iron ball down to the thigh position, and then, he let out a muffled snort again, rolled the big iron ball forward, moved it between his palms, and relied on the support of his thighs and the clamping of his palms to fix the big iron ball.

Then, he continued to squat slowly, and at the same time released his hands, the big iron ball fell from between his palms, fell to a distance of about ten centimeters in height, bounced twice on the ground, and finally was pressed down by his palms, controlled on the ground and stood still.

Pang Xiaonan took a few deep breaths, stabilized his breath, and then walked to Zhao Sijiajia, who was sitting on the bench, sat down, turned his head and said to Zhao Sijiajia, "Do you see clearly?"

Zhao Sijiajia nodded slowly and said, "See clearly." Indeed, this is the only way to be effective. ”

"Well, then you can do as I did, and practice again. Pang Xiaonan casually took off the towel hanging on the bench and wiped the sweat on his face. He frowned, this towel had a musty smell of moisture, so he asked Zhao Sijiajia, "Why don't you take this towel to wash it?"

Zhao Sijiajia got up and replied confidently: "This is your towel, not mine, who told you to put it here and ignore it, you have been gone for so many days, it has been hanging here, of course it smells." ”

Pang Xiaonan's villa is close to the sea, the humidity is deep, and he wipes his sweat with it when he exercises, the sweat is mixed with the smell of sea water, and after many days of fermentation, there is naturally a special smell that is born.

Hearing Zhao Sijiajia's explanation, Pang Xiaonan almost lost his breath, this big star's style is really speechless.

Zhao Sijiajia placed the small iron ball on her arms according to Pang Xiaonan's pace and technique, although she was a little overwhelmed, she still insisted on walking a few steps, walking a few steps and stopping for a while, and then walking a few more steps, although she felt very tired, but compared to the previous practice, she already felt a little beginner.

Early in the morning, just practicing the small iron ball, Zhao Sijiajia was already about to collapse, so she was not in the mood to find Pang Xiaonan to practice again, so she could only collapse on the bench panting, sweating, and weakly instructed Pang Xiaonan: "Go get me water, and by the way, give me another bowl of rice noodles ......"

Pang Xiaonan was used to her doing this, and he didn't argue, so he got up silently and walked towards the kitchen.

After eating breakfast and sending Zhao Sijiajia away, it was already more than eight o'clock in the morning, Pang Xiaonan went to the shower room to take a shower, then changed into dry clothes, went to the second floor to take the spirit stone cut last night, and went out to drive to the city.

After turning around, Pang Xiaonan came to the familiar place, that is, the birthplace of the two iron balls that he practiced in the morning, the blacksmith's blacksmith's shop. The place he had thought of last night where he could make throwing knives was this dilapidated blacksmith's shop.

Entering the door, Pang Xiaonan saw that the old blacksmith was lighting a fire, so he beckoned and greeted: "Old man, morning." ”

The old blacksmith looked up and saw that it was Pang Xiaonan, he didn't stop the movement in his hand, but only asked with a smile: "Morning, Xiaopengyou, what's the matter, you have to play iron balls again?"

Pang Xiaonan walked to the blacksmith shop, copied a stool and sat down, looked at the old blacksmith's skillful fire, and said, "This time I won't play iron balls, I want to ask your old man to play a few flying knives." ”

Soon, under the hands of the old blacksmith, a fire was blazing, and the old blacksmith put down the tools for making the fire, walked towards the place where Pang Xiaonan was sitting, and also picked up a chair and sat down.

"Throwing knives?" the old blacksmith smiled, revealing his yellow and black teeth, which were the traces of time left by long-term hookahs, "I don't think there is any need to fight flying knives with me, there are ready-made ones sold on the Internet." ”

The old blacksmith is right, ordinary weapons are sold in online stores, and even if you have never opened a front, you can easily sharpen your own knives.

"It's definitely not as good as customizing it online," Pang Xiaonan took out his own spirit stone and handed it to the old blacksmith, "Besides, my material is unique, I don't know how many times better than those steel, iron, and alloys on the Internet." ”

The old blacksmith took the spirit stone, glanced at Pang Xiaonan suspiciously, and then looked at the strange stone carefully, and stroked the black crystal with his hand.

"What kind of stone are you?" asked the old blacksmith curiously.

"I don't know," Pang Xiaonan shook his head, pointing to the black crystal, "I only know that the black crystal has the characteristics of metal, it can be polished, but it is not easy to break, and it is indeed a good material to make flying knives." ”

The old blacksmith handed the spirit stone back to Pang Xiaonan and said, "No matter how good the stone is, it is also a stone, and its characteristics are still different from that of metal. ”

Pang Xiaonan looked at the old blacksmith puzzled and said, "What's the difference, isn't it just a flying knife." In my understanding, it's nothing more than cutting and grinding a few processes, oh, at most add a knife handle, it's not difficult for your old man, right?"

The old blacksmith got up and went to the wall where the hookah was hung, took it off, went back to his seat and sat down, and said, "The process is not difficult, but I am afraid that your material will not stand up to my polishing, and you will blame me for wasting it when the time comes." ”

When Pang Xiaonan heard this, he thought to himself, the blacksmith makes a living by striking iron, and this kind of polishing work may have some scruples, but he thought about it, if other people's professional ironsmiths are not polished well, he himself does not have to think about it, even if he is careful, it will definitely not be as good as the old blacksmith's craftsmanship.

Thinking of this, Pang Xiaonan no longer hesitated, he put the spirit stone in front of the old blacksmith, and said with a smile: "Old man, you just need to build this stone, I don't blame you for wasting it." ”

Pang Xiaonan thought to himself that he still had two-thirds of the spirit stones in his hands, even if all the spirit stones here were wasted, he would still be able to leave the green mountains behind, so it was better to let go of the old blacksmith to play.

The old blacksmith glanced at Pang Xiaonan silently, and said: "You can think about it, although I don't know this stone of yours, but I think it must be very valuable, and I have a strange feeling when I feel it, if my guess is right, this is a stone that contains some mysterious power, and it will really be wasted by me when the time comes, you should feel distressed." ”

"Don't feel distressed, don't feel distressed, you can play as much as you want. Pang Xiaonan said that he was not distressed, but he thought that if this spirit stone really became scum, he would inevitably be a little reluctant.

"Okay, then I'll take it first, and say, you want to make a few throwing knives. The old blacksmith lit the hookah in a hurry, and smoked the choking tobacco.

"I estimated the size, maybe seven. "Pang Xiaonan measured the size last night, and according to the shape of this one-third size spirit stone, and designed the length and thickness of the flying knife, this stone should be able to make seven or eight small flying knives.

"Okay, then I'll fight according to the design of the seven knives. The old blacksmith took a puff of cigarette and puffed out a puff of smoke, and added, "But my fee for your mission this time will be a little higher, because the effort will cost a little more, and I know that you are not short of money, but I still have to tell you in advance." ”

The old blacksmith used to build an iron ball for Pang Xiaonan, and Pang Xiaonan did not make a counteroffer at all when he quoted, although looking at the clothes, Pang Xiaonan did not look like a rich man, but the young man who was willing to spend a lot of money to build a mercury iron ball to practice was definitely not a poor boy, and looking at Pang Xiaonan's temperament and conversation, even if he was not a child of a family, he should not be a bad man.

"The price is not a problem, old man, although you put in a little more effort, I have to carry this flying knife with me, the quality must be guaranteed, it is best to follow me for decades. Pang Xiaonan's wishful thinking is good, this flying knife is different from a firearm, one bullet is wasted, but this flying knife can be recycled, as long as it is not broken, it can be used for life.

Out of the blacksmith shop, the sun shone high, and a leafy old tree on the side of the road cast a dappled shadow, and the acquaintances on the tree were tirelessly shouting, and the callers were in a troubled mood.

Pang Xiaonan took out his mobile phone and looked at the time, and found that it was almost time to eat, so he remembered the nameless shop, the restaurant owner with a scar on his face, the bowl of egg fried rice with endless aftertaste, and when he thought of the egg fried rice, his taste buds began to move, and his mouth was full of relish, "I have to go and eat another bowl of egg fried rice." ”

Thinking of this, Pang Xiaonan drove to the nameless shop, there were very few cars and pedestrians on the street, because it was too hot, and there was little rest time at noon, so there were few people who came out for lunch, everyone was sitting in an air-conditioned office, picking up their mobile phones to order takeout, and then waiting for takeout comfortably. No one would go out to eat in the sun and drag their tired legs back to work, leaving them listless all afternoon.

Pang Xiaonan came to the vicinity of the nameless shop smoothly, because there was no parking next to the nameless shop, so Pang Xiaonan parked the car in a parking space about 1 km away from the nameless shop, and then walked slowly towards the nameless shop.

However, as he got closer and closer to the nameless shop, Pang Xiaonan found that the situation was getting more and more wrong, and the people queuing on the roadside were getting denser and denser.

Pang Xiaonan couldn't help but find a beautiful woman in line to ask, this beauty came alone, she was dressed in a cool dress, a floral blend dress with a pair of flat sandals, revealing her snow-white calves, when Pang Xiaonan stepped forward, she was listening to a song with headphones, giving people a fairy music fluttering look.

"Beauty," Pang Xiaonan cheekily leaned over, seeing that the beauty didn't respond, and found that she was listening to the song, he patted her on the shoulder, "May I ask what you are doing in line?"

When the beauty saw someone filming her and asking her, she took off her headphones and asked, "What did you say?"

Pang Xiaonan repeated and said, "I mean, what are you doing in line?"

The beautiful woman heard it clearly this time, and replied, "Don't you see? ”

Pang Xiaonan pointed to the long line behind him, and asked, "Is ......it that delicious?" How many people are in line?"

"You'll know if you've eaten it. The beauty no longer paid attention to Pang Xiaonan, put on headphones and continued to listen to music.

Pang Xiaonan thought that he would win the favor of the beautiful woman by taking the initiative to talk, it was obvious that he was wrong, he was the kind of person who was put in the crowd and gave people no impression at a glance, and the beauty would rather listen to music than talk to him.

Pang Xiaonan walked to the side, helplessly looked at the team that couldn't see the end, thinking that his good wish to come over for dinner was disappointed, but he didn't expect the boss to lie to him, this business is really good.

"No, I can't come for nothing, I have to eat that bowl of egg fried rice. Thinking of this, Pang Xiaonan walked to the street opposite the nameless shop, found a milk tea shop, ordered a cup of milk tea at random, sat under the big sun umbrella on the side of the street, leisurely looked at the people in line, and gloated in his heart and said: "Don't go to work, I'll see when you line up, Lao Tzu will slowly consume with you!"

A cup of milk tea has bottomed out, and there is no longer a little juice, and Pang Xiaonan's wishful thinking has failed, it is almost 1 o'clock at noon, but there are still people queuing, until half past one, the front of the nameless shop is empty, at this time Pang Xiaonan's stomach is already hungry, and the cup of milk tea makes him dizzy.

Pang Xiaonan saw that there was no one in the nameless shop, so he slowly walked towards the store with heavy steps.

As soon as I entered the door, I found that in addition to the two or three people who were still eating in the store, the boss was still sitting at a small square table on the side and reading the newspaper.

The boss slowly put down the newspaper, looked at Pang Xiaonan silently, and said, "No, it's sold out." ”

"Huh?" Pang Xiaonan almost dropped his face on the table, he had waited for so long, but what he had waited for was such a result, did he want to starve to death here.

The boss seemed to recognize Pang Xiaonan and said, "It's you, why did you come, don't eat early." ”

Pang Xiaonan drooped his head and said weakly: "I came a long time ago, but the queue in front of your door is so long, I want to wait until everyone else has finished eating, and then I will come in." ”

"Hehe," the boss smiled slightly, and the scar trembled a few times, "Then you are really unlucky, today's business is really good, I have only rested until now." ”

Originally, according to Pang Xiaonan's cultivation, even if there was nothing in his stomach to replenish his energy, he could also absorb some aura to replenish energy, but this was in the downtown area, the air in this downtown was already dirty, and where did the aura come from, but he was afraid that inhaling it would cause symptoms of poisoning, so he kept waiting for the boss's bowl of egg fried rice to replenish his strength, and it was also to fulfill his thoughts.

But his thoughts were disappointed, he looked at the boss unwillingly, and asked, "Is there anything else to eat?" His eyes were full of anticipation, expecting the boss to say one word: "Yes".

But again his hopes were disappointed, and the boss shook his head and said, "There is nothing left, and all the scraps have been eaten." ”

"Isn't it?" Pang Xiaonan lowered his head, this time he really planted his head on the table.

"If you're really hungry, go to the store next door and buy a bundle of noodles, and I'll give you the next bowl of noodles. Pang Xiaonan heard the boss's voice in a daze, he raised his head again, and suddenly a surge of power came up.

"Are you sure that your noodles are better than instant noodles?" Pang Xiaonan wanted to confirm the boss's craftsmanship, otherwise he might as well go to the commissary to buy a bucket of instant noodles and soak them, although the taste is a little heavier, but the taste is not bad.

"If you love instant noodles, go for it. The boss lifted the newspaper again and read it carefully.

"Okay, okay, I'll buy it. Pang Xiaonan wanted to have a chance to eat instant noodles, but after running so far, how could he try the craftsmanship of the boss who made people line up for ten miles.

There was a commissary two steps away, Pang Xiaonan easily found the noodles on the shelves inside, he randomly chose a bundle of the most expensive ones, and then paid and returned to the nameless shop.

"Boss, the noodles are back, see if you can use them. Pang Xiaonan thought to himself that since you have such a good craft, you should also have high requirements for the materials, can this casual bundle of noodles make an evocative taste?

The boss took a look at the noodles and said, "Make do, it's definitely not as good as my own hand-rolled dough." ”

After speaking, he ignored Pang Xiaonan's reaction, got up and went into the kitchen, and the ping-pong operation began.
