278. Hunting rites

"How is this here?"

As the reincarnation of the spirit fox, Hu Xiaoqi has known many things that ordinary mirror foxes don't know since he was a child. The little beast of the same age was still waiting to be fed, and he had already learned to find food for himself. They were still waiting for Eminem to enlighten them, and he would learn how to use the books on his own. Xiao Qi's speed of learning surprised everyone and worried at the same time.

In fact, it is strange to say, since it enters the cub stage, it always has some strange thoughts and some strange memories in its head. When he was a child, he was very generous, but it wasn't until an accident that he realized that he had been reincarnated.

The gap between the environment in which the beast world lives and the world in his memory is a bit big, and this makes him unable to tell whether the things in his memory really exist, or his own hallucination?

If the memory is true, it's scary!

Memories and reality conflict greatly, and apart from its immersive dream experience, Xiao Qi can't find any connection. It always felt that it should have lost some of its important memories, maybe something went wrong during its reincarnation?

Now there are words in the memory of this and that in front of me, which caught Hu Xiaoqi a little off guard and was a little trance.

"Who the hell am I?"

"Where the hell am I from?"

At the same time, the same problem also appeared in Wuya, who couldn't turn on the recorder.

Wu Ya has always considered herself an ordinary earthling. Although she knew that there were many unusual things about her, it was not unusual to put it in an environment where demons were like dogs walking everywhere, and she even thought it was normal.

"What the hell am I?"

Although I have lived here for so many months and have been doing some work that requires strength every day, my already delicate hands have not been cocooned at all, but are more white and tender.

The increase in the amount of food and the decrease in the number of times he eats, the feeling of fullness and hunger that appeared inexplicably, and the things he learned here, all made Wu Ya puzzled and took it for granted. It was an inexplicable feeling, as if she was destined to have to go through such a transformation.

"Rite of passage?"

One of the most confusing news she knows of so far is the coming-of-age ceremony.

What is a coming-of-age ceremony? Is it the same as the one her grandmother said?

When she was very young, she had heard Granny Ning from her grandmother's village say that the dolls in the village used to go to the hunting ceremony every fifteen years old.

Hunting is a special experience that has existed in Grandma's village for a long time. Every child over the age of fifteen has the opportunity to follow the village chief out of the village and go to a valley far away. The ritual lasts for one year, and during the ritual parents are not allowed to visit their children, and children are not allowed to come out of the valley at will.

They have to come out through experience. During the year, they must complete all the requirements of the hunt before they can be released. If, after a year, some of the children do not make it through the hunt, they will be left in that valley to wait for the next hunt.

The time of the ritual is not fixed, but the interval between the ceremonies is generally not more than 15 years.

This kind of hunting ritual has existed in their wrong village for many years, but strangely enough, it suddenly stopped in her grandmother's generation.

The memory of the hunting ceremony only exists in the older generation of my grandmother's mother, so my grandmother has never seen it, but only heard about it.

It is said that they do not provide food or drink, but they can prepare some daily necessities before participating in the hunting ceremony. There are also restrictions on the amount of living items that can be carried, and the volume of things to bring is specified. It can include some food, but those that can only be eaten for a week, not more, only less!

Since this subsistence item can only provide them with a week's worth or less, the village chief who leads the team will teach the children some knowledge about survival in the wilderness. There is also a limit to the time available to impart knowledge. After a week, the village chief will leave the valley, and only after a year, he will return.

This departure means that the children must learn to live truly independently on their own, otherwise death awaits them.

Although my grandmother didn't say what was in the valley, it was also wild after all, and it was closed, and the breeding of wild animals was limited to one area, and their growth rate can be imagined.

Xiao Wuya didn't quite understand why such a cruel ritual appeared, and she didn't understand it now.

Although this method of teaching is a bit cruel, as long as the children return from a year of hunting experience, they will be reborn.

Grandma said that as long as the bear child comes back through the hunting ceremony, even if it is scrapped before, it can become a genius.

The children who come back safely from the hunting ceremony are basically adults, so the grandmother calls the hunting ceremony a coming-of-age ceremony.

emmm...... To tell the truth, if everything she is experiencing now can be regarded as a hunting ceremony, she feels that she will definitely be a great horse when she returns home.

Not to mention the visible changes in her physical fitness that are hundreds of times better than before, let's talk about the divine consciousness she has opened. She thought that it was impossible for something beyond ordinary people to happen to her. But since she had her divine sense, she had no trouble doing the above things, and she had learned to fly with her divine sense.

That's flying!

Although it was only a few centimeters above the ground, it was not on the ground, and it did not touch any supports, and it floated independently.

The moment her consciousness left the ground, Wu Ya's heart was filled with an excitement that could not be expressed in words, and she had the idea of staying. Wu Ya felt that if Yi stayed here for another year or so, she might really be able to fly!

She's already able to fly now, and maybe there's something else to surprise in a year's time! So the desire to go home is far less fierce than the one she discovers her mysteries.

But the desire to go home that was suppressed now came back when she thought of the hunt.

I heard my grandmother say that the hunting ceremony was not good, and there were many children who did not come back.

There is a grapevine that my grandmother's grandmother's generation hunted for gifts, and only a dozen of the hundreds of children came back, and many people in the village almost broke their incense. But what exactly happened in the valley, they don't know.

The only people who knew about it were probably the village chief at that time and the traveling doctor friend of the village chief who happened to pass by the village at that time.

The children who came back were very sensitive to what happened during the hunting ceremony, but they were all gourds with sawed mouths, and no matter how much they asked, they didn't say anything.

Because the hunting ceremony was so tragic and abnormal, the village chief who led the team at that time and the next village chief discussed it with the village and the villagers who had experienced the hunting ceremony for several months, and finally decided to cancel the hunting ceremony, a traditional custom that they did not know how many years they had continued.

Boom...... Now how can one of her horses be broken!100 Plated The latest chapter of "Wuya's Ancient Era Claw Book House" is free to read for the first time.
