No matter when, the growth of the younger generations is the concern of the elders. Every step of growth and progress of the younger generations is a conversation that the elders talk about.

Therefore, the news of Ye Heng's becoming a martial artist spread like the wind throughout the entire Fenghe Ranch overnight.

Martial artists are not unusual, there are thousands of people in Fenghe Ranch, and at least seven hundred of them are martial artists, or even higher-level martial artists. However, being able to become a martial artist under the age of 10, in the 30 years since the establishment of Xiangyunzhuang, there are very few people who have achieved this achievement! Under normal circumstances, being able to become a martial artist at the age of 12 is definitely a genius martial artist in the Tianyun Continent. Therefore, when everyone in the ranch saw Ye Heng, they all greeted him cordially and said a few words of encouragement. It's not a stammer, but a heartfelt blessing!

After all, becoming a martial artist is only a starting point for stepping on a martial artist, which can only prove that this person's physical fitness is qualified, and he can accept further martial arts training, and when it comes to strength, he is just a little stronger than ordinary people, and he does not have much combat power. Embarking on the path of a martial artist a few years ago can only show that he has a good talent and a high starting point, as long as he is willing to work hard, he has a greater chance of becoming a high-level martial artist than others, nothing more.

At the same time, it should be understood that no matter how outstanding a genius is, there is a possibility of dying halfway. The reason why everyone likes Ye Heng is because he is regarded as a child of the ranch, a member of the ranch, and the hope of the ranch!

With Ye Heng's good mood, time is also spent happily, three days pass in a blink of an eye, and the annual annual festival has finally arrived!

The snow disaster has caused heavy losses to Fenghe Ranch, and the entire ranch and even the entire Xiangyunzhuang are doing their best to help it recover. In order to boost morale, the senior management of Xiangyunzhuang decided after deliberation that the celebration of the annual festival of Xiangyunzhuang was held in Fenghe Ranch this year!

At this time, the Fenghe Ranch is full of lights and is very lively. In addition to the two elders Song Yizhi and Zhao Ruyi sitting in Xiangyunzhuang, the owner of the village and other elders led hundreds of villagers to personally escort a batch of supplies to Fenghe Ranch two days ago. The owner came in person, and the ranch was greatly encouraged and jubilant!

In the canteen of the ranch, thousands of people gathered together! Fine wine and food exuded an intoxicating fragrance, laughter and laughter expressed good wishes, and singing and dancing showed the joy of the festival! Everywhere was filled with festive festivities, sincere wishes were expressed everywhere, and happy laughter was gathered everywhere. In particular, dozens of children in new clothes chased each other and frolicked, shuttling back and forth between the dining tables, which made the whole scene even more lively!

Ye Heng sat quietly next to the old stone, his silent expression incompatible with the atmosphere of the scene. Looking at the scene in front of me, thinking back to the happy times in the village during the festival in the past, and thinking about the loneliness now, I will never be able to reunite with my relatives or play with my friends in the future. The happier others are, the more frustrated they feel.

Old Shi has been paying attention to Ye Heng, but this little guy has never mentioned his past, although he doesn't know Ye Heng's past, but with the wisdom of an old Jianghu, he can guess a lot of things.

The old stone gently stroked Ye Heng's head, and said lovingly: "Ye Heng, people live to look forward. The past is gone, lost has been lost. I think what your relatives want to see most is that you can live happily and grow up healthily. Don't shut yourself off, you see those kids, a lot of them are orphans, but you see how happy they are! I know you're a good boy, you're working hard, but when it's time to relax, you should relax, don't stretch yourself too hard, you know what I mean?"

Ye Heng nodded seriously: "I understand, thank you Grandpa Shi!" Ye Heng said softly, Grandpa Shi was like a thunderbolt that hit the heart of the old stone. Ye Heng has called him "grandfather" for the first time since he followed the old stone to learn art, and he was called "Shi Lao" and "Shi Lao" before, with more respect, but family affection is insufficient. In the eyes of an old man, it is clear that there is nothing more exciting than family affection!

The old stone's body couldn't help trembling slightly, his cloudy eyes showed the brilliance of excitement, and he hurriedly picked up the wine on the table and drank it into his mouth, but because he drank too quickly, he choked his throat, and suddenly coughed sharply, and Ye Heng hurriedly beat his back.

The old stone said that it didn't matter, and hurriedly controlled his emotions. At this moment several children passed by, and the old stone looked up and shouted, "Crazy girl, come over here!"

A little girl dressed in a goose yellow coat ran over, her little face was red and simple, her eyes were shining with smart brilliance, and she was tied with red silk with a long black braid, which was both beautiful and cute. The little girl threw herself into the arms of the old stone, and shouted: "Grandpa old stone, Sisi misses you so much!" The word oh was very long, and it hooked people's hearts.

"You're a crazy girl, you're going to trick grandpa into being happy. The old stone was relieved, pointed to Ye Heng beside him and said, "Crazy girl, grandpa introduces you to a little brother, his name is Ye Heng, can you take him to play together?"

The little girl tilted her head and looked at Ye Heng, her two eyes blinked and blinked, and she suddenly grinned, revealing two rows of little white teeth that ran away, obviously the little girl was changing her baby teeth, and her appearance was extremely cute: "My name is Zhou Sisi, let's go, I'll take you and my brother to play together!"

Old Stone looked at the two children who ran out, shook his head with a smile, and reached out to pick up the wine arms, not realizing that the wine arms were empty.

At the beginning of the lanterns, people who had eaten delicious meals walked to the martial arts training ground one after another. At this time, the martial arts training ground was lit up and brilliantly lit.

On the north side of the martial arts training ground, a high platform has already been erected, a red carpet has been rolled out, and colorful flowers have been decorated with it. In the center of the red carpet, there is a golden tripod, which is huge, simple and solemn. In the center of the martial arts training ground, a huge bonfire was lit, and around the central bonfire, eight more fires were lit, distributed in eight directions in a circle, and the fire light shone on the entire martial arts training ground like daylight.

Gradually, all the people gathered on the martial arts training ground, talking and laughing around the fire. At this time, the owner of Xiangyun Village, together with the other seven elders, walked on the high platform covered with the red carpet, and the New Year's Festival was about to begin!

The eight people walked up to the high platform, which immediately attracted everyone's attention, and the entire martial arts training ground was instantly quiet. An old man took a step forward, the old man was nearly seventy years old, with gray hair, medium height, thin skin, and a blue coat. However, there is a special temperament in this old man, and this special temperament deeply attracts the attention of others. In a group of people, at a glance, he is not the tallest and burly, nor the fattest and strongest, but the first person you notice must be him!

"This person must be the owner of Zhou Zhuang!" A group of children stood under the high platform, Ye Heng was among them, looking up at the old man, Ye Heng secretly guessed in his heart. After a night of playing, this group of children quickly became familiar with it, and Ye Heng quickly integrated into it. I have to say that in the interaction between people, in order to establish a good relationship, it will be much easier for children with unopened minds than adults, I really don't know if this is the helplessness of adults or the sadness of adults!

The old man stood proudly, his waist straight. His gaze swept over the entire martial arts training ground, and even those who were in the darkest place could feel that they were clearly seen by the old man, and immediately raised their heads and chests, and their spirits were uplifted. I only heard the old man speak slowly, and his voice was sonorous and powerful: "All the people of Xiangyunzhuang, I, Zhou Feng, am here, on behalf of the entire Xiangyunzhuang, thank you!"

"Thirty years have passed in a blink of an eye! Thirty years of wind and rain, thirty years of hard work, our Xiangyunzhuang is still standing, among them, there is the credit of each of you, say again, thank you!" Zhou Zhuang's voice became more and more excited, and he responded to the long-lasting applause!

"Now we can stand here alive, thanks to those dead relatives, it is they who have saved us from fire and water again and again, it is they who have brought us out of a desperate situation again and again, it is they who have exchanged their lives for the opportunity for us to continue to live! Before the New Year festival begins, let us raise our wine arms and pay tribute to those immortal heroic souls!" As he spoke, the owner of Zhou Zhuang took a glass of wine and sprinkled it on the ground under his feet. Everyone was silent, raising their glasses together, and the wine was sprinkled on the earth!And this passage of the owner of Zhou Zhuang also touched Ye Heng's deepest soul, tears burst out of his eyes, silently reciting familiar names one by one, holding up the wine glass, and offering the earth!

After the toast, the owner of Zhou Zhuang announced loudly: "Next, the New Year's Festival has officially begun!" There was still a burst of warm applause and excited shouts below!

After a slight pause, and when the scene quieted down, the owner of Zhou Zhuang continued: "The first item, sacrifice heaven and earth!"

As soon as the owner of Zhou Zhuang finished speaking, someone sent sandalwood, three pillars per person. Under the leadership of the owner of Zhouzhuang, facing the golden tripod on the high platform, he bowed deeply three times.

After getting up, the owner of Zhou Zhuang said loudly: "Sacrifice heaven and earth, may God bless, all the best, smooth sailing!" After speaking, he walked to the golden tripod, inserted the three pillars of incense into the tripod, and the elders inserted the sandalwood in their hands into the golden tripod in turn, and the villagers below took the bonfire as the unit, and the nine representatives walked up to the high platform and offered the sandalwood in their hands to the golden tripod. The rest of the villagers put the sandalwood in their hands into the bonfire, which means that the disaster will be eliminated and the wind and rain will be smooth!

"The second item, sacrifice three animals!"

As soon as the voice of the owner of Zhou Zhuang fell, the two sturdy young men carried a large table together and placed it in front of the bonfire in the center of the martial arts training ground. The above three kinds of sacrifices are the three necessities of the sacrifice, and each has its own meaning: the horsetail represents the correct direction, traveling thousands of miles in a day, the head of the ox represents the bull's spirit, the head of good luck, and the whole sheep represents the three sheep Kaitai, auspicious and wishful. The reason why this ceremony is held in front of the bonfire means that it is prosperous and prosperous.

The owner of Zhou Zhuang walked down the high platform with all the elders, came to the big table, led everyone to worship three times, and shouted loudly: "Sacrifice three animals, please bless the beast god, the livestock are prosperous, the grass is fertile and the water grows!"

After the words fell, a knife chef came to the table, after three worships, showed the snow-white kitchen knife, made a starting gesture, and then the dazzling knife light flew on the roast sheep, and in a blink of an eye, the whole sheep was divided into 1,438 small pieces of meat, up and down the whole village, one piece per person, meaning that the whole family, blessed to share! After everyone shared the mutton, the owner and others went straight to the back of the martial arts training ground, there is a stone platform here, the stone platform is three feet high, three feet wide and one inch thick, there is a recess on the top, and the stone slab on the ground is connected as a whole, and there are three characters engraved in the middle - Break the enemy's platform, and paint it with bright red lacquer, its color is like blood.

The golden tripod, the central bonfire, and the broken enemy platform are connected in a straight line, coupled with the layout of the surrounding bonfires, Ye Heng faintly felt that there must be a deep meaning in it! This thought passed through his mind, and he did not study it deeply, and then continued to pay attention to the ceremony. In fact, Ye Heng's feeling is not wrong, if he looks down from a high place at this time, he will definitely be able to see some mysteries.

"The third item, sacrifice the soul of the hero!"

This time, under the leadership of the owner of Zhou Zhuang, all the personnel knelt on the ground and kowtowed three times to the stone platform. After getting up, the guards of Xiangyunzhuang escorted two people to the front of the stage, these two people were all tied with their backhands, their heads were scattered, their faces could not be seen clearly, the clothes on their bodies had already been broken, and there were blood stains on them, and they must have suffered a lot.

The so-called sacrifice to the soul of the heroes is to behead the people who have a deep blood feud with Xiangyunzhuang to show the public, which means to defend the homeland and iron and bloody rivers and lakes!

The owner of Zhou Zhuang turned to face everyone, and his voice began to become excited: "Everyone will definitely guess who these two people are who broke the enmity this year, and now I will tell you, everyone can see it clearly!"

"Snake Lang Jun Wu Chang!" many people immediately recognized this person. Yes, this person was in the Great Valley of the Blue Wolf Ridge and joined the Wanma Gang to harm Wu Chang, the snake Langjun of Xiangyunzhuang, and was captured by the Red Flame Wolf King and sent to the old stone as a favor. Don't say anything else, just participate in the big valley of the Blue Wolf Ridge, and this snake Langjun will die innocently!

"That's right, it is Wu Chang, the snake man of Jinyulou, who is at the moment of life and death in my Xiangyunzhuang, this thief colluded with the Wanma Gang to attack our convoy transporting supplies in the Great Valley of Cangwolf Ridge, resulting in the death of 66 of the 108 guards, 11 disabled, and 200 coachmen! If this thief does not kill, how can he comfort the 66 heroic souls who died in battle! If this thief does not kill, how can he compensate for the 11 brothers who are disabled! If this thief does not kill, how can he be right to the more than 300 families who have lost their relatives!

Kill!

Kill!

Kill!

Everyone in the field was responding, everyone's arms were waving, in full view of everyone, Wu Chang was pushed onto the severing platform, and his head was forcibly pressed against the depression of the severing platform, although his body was still struggling desperately, but his head was firmly fixed on the severing platform. The axeman lifts the machete high above his head and slashes it down!

The sword flashed, and the head of a generation of fierce snake Xun Jun was in a different place!

Not only did no one avoid such a bloody scene, but everyone watched it carefully with wide eyes, and no one felt unbearable in their hearts, nor did anyone sympathize with them, and some of them were just relieved! For some people who have lost their conscience, expecting them to put down their butcher knives and turn over a new leaf is basically an extremely stupid act of brain-dead behavior, and killing to stop killing may be the most effective way to eradicate the roots. If you don't want your relatives to be harmed, you don't want your conscience to be condemned, and you don't want more people to be harmed, you must not be soft on these people, let alone tolerate adultery.

Then, the owner of Zhou Zhuang stepped towards the second person, obviously this person's identity is more special, at this time the owner of Zhou Zhuang was more excited, and even a little difficult to suppress, the hair and clothes were windless and automatic, looking from behind, the two shoulders were also trembling!

Who could make this old farmer so uncontrollable?
