Chapter 5 Tempering

The morning sun, as big as the wheels of a carriage and as bright red as the molten iron in the blacksmith's shop, climbed up the col with a thousand rays of light, lifted the mist in the mountains and forests, and announced the arrival of the day.

Lin Yi has been an orphan since he was a child, and he was picked up by the village chief Halson on the road, and it was exactly a quarter of zero at that time, so Halson took this name, and the symbol of this name is a quarter of zero, representing the meeting of Lin Yi and Halson at that moment.

Lin Yi, who was picked up, has been taken care of by Halson since he was a child, and the people in the village have also treated Lin Yi very well and treated him as his own child.

Lin Yi, who was carried back to the house by Halson yesterday afternoon to rest, slept all night, and before dawn the next day, Lin Yi woke up, looking at himself lying on the familiar bed, Lin Yi didn't know how he came back here yesterday, and then felt the physical condition, and found that there was nothing unusual, so he got out of bed, and didn't even put on his shoes, so he hurriedly ran to the back of the house.

Lin Yi rubbed his hands vigorously, spread out the palm of his right hand, stared at his right palm intently, and watched the changes in his hand with anticipation.

I don't know how long I have been watching, even my eyes are sore and painful, and my eyelids are so sore that I can't hold on, Lin Yi closed his eyes at this time, but his right hand was still quiet, and nothing happened.

The left hand is changed to the right hand, the right hand is changed to the left hand, this step is repeated many times, and nothing happens in the palm of the left and right hands.

Do you want to continue to feel that colored striped thing? The thought of this sitting cross-legged and meditating on your inner world.

This time, no matter what Lin Yi did, there was no way to reproduce the magical changes of yesterday afternoon, could it be that it was also a dream scene, an illusion that he saw because he was too tired, it was too real!

Originally, I was going to let the village chief grandfather take a look at my performance, but who knew that it was like a moon in the water, and the flowers in the mirror ended up working in vain.

"Little one, pay attention to your body. Running over here early in the morning, are you going to start practicing again?" said Halson.

Lin Yi looked at the village chief, and was almost about to blurt out something strange about yesterday afternoon, but after thinking about it, forget it, don't live up to the expectations of the village chief's grandfather at that time.

"Grandpa the village chief, I don't have it, I just can't sleep in bed, I just want to come out for a walk," Lin Yi said with a smile.

"Oh, just come out for a walk. Little one, do you see what's under your feet?"

Lin Yi followed Halsen's gaze, only to find that his feet were slippery and covered with mud on his feet.

Oops, oops, when I got up in the morning, maybe I wanted to see the miraculous changes of yesterday so much that I forgot to put on my shoes and ran out.

Seeing Lin Yi smile embarrassedly, Halson didn't ask too much to the end, after all, Lin Yi is not too young, he knows what to do and what not to do.

And it is impossible for him to be by his side all day and night, people will always grow up, and they can never play like a child.

"Little one, finish breakfast and get ready. I won't practice magic induction for the time being, there is an important thing I want to teach you," Halson said to Lin Yi.

At first, when he heard that Halson didn't let him practice magic induction, Lin Yi wanted to open his mouth to refuse, but then the village chief said that he wanted to teach him an important thing, Lin Yi didn't say a word, and ran to the house with his bare feet, and finished the hot breakfast on the table with three times and five divided by two, and put on his shoes by the way.

Looking at Lin Yi's serious attitude of learning in order to become stronger, Halson smiled dumbly, and he liked Lin Yi, the little guy, more and more in his heart.

Even if there is no blood relationship, aside from his unusually firm learning attitude, Lin Yi has been well-behaved and sensible since he was a child, and Halsen has already loved Lin Yi as his grandson in his heart.

So, Halson took Lin Yi around to the open space on the other side of the wooden house, only to see a round wooden barrel set up in the open space, which emitted an indescribable stench.

Before Lin Yi approached, he smelled it from afar, it was so stinky that he almost vomited out the breakfast he ate in the morning with his hands over his mouth.

I saw Halson walk straight to the barrel as if nothing happened, as if in Halson's opinion,

It's nothing at all.

Lin Yi covered his nose and widened his eyes, if it weren't for the dark green smoke that filled the barrel, Lin Yi almost thought that something was wrong with his nose.

"Come here, little one. What's the matter?????

As Halson expected, Lin Yi covered his nose and walked quickly to the side of the barrel, but it was closer to the barrel, and the stench was seven or eight points stronger.

Lin Yi stretched out his head to look at the bucket of blackened liquid, which was still bubbling from time to time, and Lin Yi felt pimples all over his body.

"Grandpa the village chief, what is this bucket for?" Lin Yi said to Halsen while covering his nose.

"Little one, this is what I am going to teach you, and you will have to soak in this barrel for half a day," said Halson, pointing to the barrel in front of him. Lin Yi had already thought in his heart that the taste was unbearable, in order to live up to Halson's expectations, and in order to make himself stronger, this is nothing!

Lin Yi stripped off his shirt and pants without saying a word. Wearing only a square shorts, he stepped into the bucket with two feet, and then slowly immersed his body in the bucket, and sat down, just dipping into the throat area, revealing a head.

I thought I would stink in the barrel, but I don't know if it's because of the smell for a long time, or the psychological effect, but I feel a little used to this kind of stench.

After soaking for a while, in addition to the taste has not changed, the feeling of the body is quite good, and the fatigue of several days has been swept away, just when Lin Yi thought that this was a comfortable bath, Halson poured some yellowed and thick liquid into the bucket. It didn't take long for the liquid to be poured before there was a violent reaction in the barrel.

Lin Yi suddenly felt that his body was like thousands of ants and insects eating and biting him, it was painful and itchy, he wanted to tear his skin apart when it was itchy, and tears were rolling in his eyes when he was in pain, Lin Yi had never been tortured like this since he was a child, and he wanted to stand up and give up several times, but the tenacity in his bones made him endure it again.

"Little guy, endure it, get through this stage, you can be considered qualified, the longer you soak, the more helpful it will be to your body" Looking at Lin Yi who was in pain, Halson's heart was like a thousand cuts, and his eyes were red.

For the sake of Lin Yi's future, Halson knew that he had to do this, otherwise it would harm Lin Yi's life.
