Dragon Ball: Traveling Through the Heavens

Chapter 9: Gold horn and silver horn

Views:

Chu Xiao drove the magnetic levitation plane out of East City where Bulma's family lived quickly. After leaving East City, Chu Xiao put away the plane and walked towards Karin Tower.

On Toaster Mountain, Hermit Roshi has taught Chu Xiao the method of cultivating "Qi". During this period of time, Chu Xiao has been able to master the weak Qi in his body.

According to Master Roshi's guidance, constantly polishing the body is the simplest and most direct way to increase Chi.

So, Chu Xiao decided to walk to Kalinta on foot.

All the way west!

Five days later, Chu Xiao still hadn't seen Karinta, but he had to stop because there were two people standing on the road in front of him, blocking his way.

The two men were dressed strangely and had bandit-like tattoos on their bodies. They had no aesthetic sense at all and one could tell at first glance that they were bad people. Their clothes were printed with the two large gold-plated characters "gold" and "silver". One of them was dragging a purple-gold gourd in his hand, which was particularly conspicuous.

From the malicious looks in their eyes, it was not difficult to tell that they were robbing Chu Xiao. They wanted to rob him? This made Chu Xiao feel a little interesting.

He had been in Longzhu for so long, and although there had been some foolish people who had come to provoke him and were easily chased away by him, he had never encountered a situation where he had been robbed, and he couldn't help but feel playful.

"Hey! Boy! What's your name? Where are you from? Where are you going?" asked the man with the word "gold" tattooed on his clothes, dragging the magic gourd.

"You asked for my name right away? Shouldn't you introduce yourself and say something nice first? Don't you even have the basic professional qualities of a robber?" Chu Xiao looked at the two of them and teased.

The two men looked at each other, stunned by Chu Xiao's words, and felt that what Chu Xiao said made some sense.

"It's easy to introduce myself. My name is Jinjiao, and the one next to me is my younger brother Yinjiao. As for what you said about dropping slang? It's our fault that we are too new to the business, and no one taught us, so we don't know how to say it. Brother, can you teach us?" The two men changed the subject, as if they had put the robbery aside, like humbly seeking advice.

"Golden Horn and Silver Horn?!" When Chu Xiao heard these two names, he couldn't help but think of the Golden Horn King and the Silver Horn King in Journey to the West. Combined with the purple gold treasure gourds in their hands, Chu Xiao's face darkened.

Thinking back to the plot of Dragon Ball carefully, Chu Xiao had long forgotten these two characters, but many names and settings of the anime Dragon Ball were based on Journey to the West.

For example, the protagonist is Sun Wukong, Bajie corresponds to Wulong, Yamcha corresponds to Sha Monk, and Bulma corresponds to Tang Sanzang.

Another example is the Bull Demon King and the Banana Fan, and the Rabbit that was sent to the Moon…

If you look closely, you will find that many characters and abilities in Dragon Ball are modeled after Journey to the West.

Then, the Golden Horn and Silver Horn standing in front of Chu Xiao are definitely not just ordinary robbers.

What they were holding in their hands must be the purple gold treasure gourd that could capture people.

"Things are getting more and more interesting!" Chu Xiao took a deep breath, his mind already set on the purple gold treasure gourd. Such a treasure was quite attractive to Chu Xiao.

"As the saying goes, every country has its laws and every industry has its rules. Robbery is a business with no capital, so it is not the right way to go. But it is also a business and naturally has its rules." Chu Xiao said slowly.

"That's what they usually say in the jargon."

Chu Xiao was furious, and shouted with his teeth bared, "Hey! You two boys stop right there!"

Jinjiao and Yinjiao were startled by Chu Xiao's sudden change in momentum and stared at Chu Xiao in amazement.

"I built this road and planted this tree. If you want to pass this road, please leave money to buy your way through!"

After Chu Xiao finished speaking, he put on an aggressive posture, and it looked like Chu Xiao was robbing Jinjiao and Yinjiao.

"Wow! It's worthy of being called a professional term! It really makes sense." Jinjiao and Yinjiao praised, "My brother and I used to rob people here, but we were both wrong. Now that we know this professional term, we feel less psychologically burdened when robbing people!"

Chu Xiao shook his head and continued, "The jargon is simple, it's natural for you to learn it, but it's not enough to just learn the jargon, you also have to learn the rules of the trade."

"Industry rules? What are those?" Jinjiao and Yinjiao asked humbly.

"There is no order without rules. Every industry has its own rules. People who do not follow the rules will be despised by the entire industry and even outsiders."

"The rules of the robbery business are very simple, which are four things not to rob. Don't rob the old, weak, sick, or disabled; don't rob the lonely, widowed, or young; don't rob those who do good deeds and accumulate virtue; don't rob the people of high moral character and prestige."

"There are so many things we don't rob?! Then what are we robbing?!" Jinjiao and Yinjiao looked at each other, obviously finding it difficult to accept Chu Xiao's so-called rules of the trade.

"That's what the rules say. Since you've entered this industry, you must abide by the rules. If you don't, then you two are robbers without professional ethics and will be despised by others."

"Bah! If you dislike it, then don't bother! We don't care about reputation, but your jargon is really useful," Jinjiao waved his hand and continued, "After saying so much, you still haven't told us your name. What is your name?"

Chu Xiao's face darkened, and he thought that these two people were really incorrigible. They even wanted to ask his name so that they could use the magic gourd to capture him.

Chu Xiao rolled his eyes and said, "I am an orphan. I didn't know my name since I was a child, and no one gave me a name. Now, I am used to not having a name! So I don't care about any names or anything like that!"

When Jinjiao and Yinjiao heard Chu Xiao's words, they didn't know what to do for a moment. The magic gourd in their hands was a treasure. As long as they called out a person's name, if that person didn't answer, they could put the person into the gourd and refine him for a while, and then the person would turn into wine.

It is exactly the opposite of the setting of the Purple Gold Gourd in Journey to the West.

But this gourd has a drawback. If you don't know the person's name, you can't put the person into the gourd at all, and naturally there is no way to make wine from it.

"Brother, what should we do?! It seems that this kid is very vigilant. He would never tell his real name, not even his pseudonym." Yinjiao was a little at a loss. Even if it was a pseudonym, as long as it was said by the person himself, it could be collected into the gourd. But Chu Xiao didn't even tell his pseudonym, so how could he collect it? How could he rob him!

"Hmph! This kid is so rude! How can a person not have a name?" Jinjiao cursed a few times and said viciously, "It doesn't matter if you don't say the name. Now there are two of us and he is only one. We have the advantage in terms of numbers. It seems that we have to take action today!"

Seeing Jinjiao put away the magic gourd, Chu Xiao finally felt relieved. After all, he was really afraid of the gourd. If he was put into the magic gourd, even if his super self-healing ability was strong, he would be slowly ground to death in the gourd and turned into wine.

But now Jinjiao has put away the gourd and wants to compete with him in martial arts.

Hehe! Isn't that showing off one's sword in front of Guan Gong? Overestimating one's own abilities.

"If you want to fight, then come on!"

After a fight between the three, things turned out just as Chu Xiao had expected. Jinjiao and Yinjiao were only slightly stronger than ordinary people, and their entire combat effectiveness depended on the power of the magic gourd. Now the magic gourd was useless.

Chu Xiao, who had cultivated his qi, defeated the two men easily, and took out the purple gold treasure gourd from Jinjiao's body and held it in his hand.

"This is the Purple Gold Treasure Gourd," Chu Xiao looked at the Purple Gold Treasure Gourd in his hand, and immediately wanted to test its power, "Gold Horn and Silver Horn!"

"Here! Here!" Jinjiao and Yinjiao, who were kneeling on the ground, answered immediately, fearing that they would be put into the purple gold treasure gourd if they answered too late.

“Gold Horn, Silver Horn, Gold Horn, Silver Horn, Gold Horn, Silver Horn, Gold Horn, Silver Horn, Gold Horn, Silver Horn…”

Chu Xiao recited the name many times in one breath like a rhyme, which scared the two brothers Jinjiao and Yinjiao so much that they quickly answered.

"Here! Here! Here!..."

Chu Xiao had a wicked smile on his face, as if he had decided to defeat them. A stream of colorful smoke shot out from the purple gold treasure gourd, covering Gold Horn and Silver Horn. As the two men kept begging for mercy, they were put into the purple gold treasure gourd.

"Hey! I told you a long time ago that every industry has its own rules, and you will suffer the consequences if you commit evil!"
