Chapter 0553: Worship and Kill Ritual
Everyone was excited for a long time, and the news of the appearance of two white flat coins among the prey of the hunting group in the village also spread throughout the village like wings, and for a while, more people rushed here, all wanting to see what the white flat coins looked like.
Xia Yu and Li Ling squeezed out of the crowd together and walked out slowly.
At this time, it was getting late, the sun was about to set, and the sky appeared again in the colorful color that Xia Yu had seen yesterday, and the huge and beautiful sky was like a flower butterfly.
Xia Yu looked up at the sky, with a look of fascination in his eyes, which made Li Ling quite curious, what is there to see in this sky?
Taking a deep breath, Xia Yu quickly made up his mind in his heart, and asked the village chief tonight if there was any medicine here that would be better for the recovery of Lianhua and Bottle'er's injuries, and they had to leave here as soon as possible.
Although the life here is peaceful and beautiful, Xia Yu and the others do not belong here after all, and he still has his own things to do. However, it is a good choice to retire here in the future.
"Li Ling, how do you get flat coins in general? Won't they all get them from the belly of the beast?" Xia Yu was still thinking about how to get some flat coins before leaving, whether it was in exchange for space items or as raw materials, they were all excellent things.
"The main source of flat coins is still mining, but the number is very small, and we are extremely lucky to find flat coins in the belly of the beast, and it is a white flat coin, which is very rare. Those who dig all kinds of metals can dig up flat coins, but these metal mines are controlled by the rich, and even if those people can dig up flat coins, they have to hand them over. ”
"Poor people like us, most people have never seen flat coins, but those rich people have a lot of flat coins!" Li Ling sighed, as if sighing.
"This is my house, let's go in and sit!"
Xia Yu thought about it, anyway, there was no one in Li Tong's house, and he would have nothing to do when he went back, so he nodded and walked in with Li Ling.
Li Ling's house is similar to Li Tong's house, they are all four walls, and there are some animal skin decorations hanging on the wall, which looks unique.
"You taste this, I picked it from this hunt. Li Ling took out a plate of purple fruits and said to Xia Yu.
Xia Yu casually agreed, and continued to look at the bones of various beasts on the wall.
Suddenly, Xia Yu inhaled his nose, and a sweet but slightly bitter taste pierced his nostrils, and he turned around and stared at the plate of purple fruits in Li Ling's hand, "This...... It's ......"
"I didn't know what it was called, but I tasted it and thought it tasted good, so I picked some ......."
Li Ling didn't know, but Xia Yu knew the name of this fruit, "This is the Purple Spirit Fruit!"
Xia Yu rushed over, picked up a purple spirit fruit, and stroked it carefully for a long time, before he said to Li Ling, who was a little strange: "This fruit is a very rare medicinal material, it can improve ...... Improving the body's metabolism is very good for the body......" Xia Yu originally wanted to say that it could increase the absorption rate of spiritual power, but he suddenly realized that there was no spiritual power here, so he temporarily changed his words.
"Is this fruit really that good?"
"Of course, in this case, I'll exchange some wound medicine for your purple spirit fruit, right?"
"If you want it, take it all, just give it to you!" Anyway, these fruits can't be exchanged, Uncle Li Xun said that he has never seen this kind of fruit at all...... Li Ling said nonchalantly, "You wait, there are still some over there, I'll bring them all for you......"
Xia Yu agreed without falling, and put all the purple spirit fruits into a fresh-keeping bag, how would the second elder react if he saw so many purple spirit fruits?
Xia Yu clearly remembered that the test given to him by the second elder of the Wood Hunting Society was to find three kinds of medicinal herbs - psychic grass, purple spirit fruit, and talcum jade, such a rare fruit was actually used as food to satisfy hunger here, if the second elder knew it, he would inevitably shout: "Tyrannical Heavenly Things, Violent Heavenly Things!"
Although Li Ling said that it was for Xia Yu, Xia Yu still gave Li Ling two bottles of wound medicine, and when Li Ling knew that this wound medicine was the kind of medicine that Xia Yu used to bandage Li Tong, her excitement was overflowing, this time it was Xia Yu's turn to wonder, is this kind of wound medicine so precious?
From this, you can see the difference in values between the two people. The purple spirit fruit was worthless in Li Ling's eyes, and the injury medicine was also a chicken rib in Xia Yu's eyes, but fortunately, the two of them took what they needed, and they were both happy.
Li Ling told Xia Yu some things in the depths of the hunting area, Xia Yu was itching in his heart, judging from what Li Ling said, the hunting area is full of treasures, if you can go in and get some back, then it will really be sent!
The sky was getting dark, and the brilliant colors in the sky slowly dissipated, Xia Yu suddenly heard a drum, at this time Li Ling's face was happy, and said to Xia Yu: "The killing ceremony is about to begin, let's go!"
When Xia Yu and Li Ling arrived together, there were already lanterns hanging here, and all kinds of lanterns illuminated the surroundings of the real worship platform, and almost all the people in the village surrounded the worship platform, and their faces were filled with joyful expressions without exception.
Even Li Ling, who has never liked shapes, showed great excitement, Li Tong and the others stood on the stage, and in the center of the stage were three huge beast heads, but the hair on them had already been cleaned up.
"Let's go, let's go to the stage too, and we will worship heaven and earth in a while. The crowd was so noisy that Li Ling had to yell in Xia Yu's ear.
"I'm going too?" Xia Yu pointed to himself and asked Li Ling loudly.
"Yes, you saved Brother Li Tong, that is, the honored guest of our village, Uncle Li Xun specially ordered me to bring you to the stage. ”
Xia Yu no longer shirked, and squeezed towards the stage with Li Ling with difficulty.
When Li Ling and Xia Yu finally squeezed onto the stage, Li Xun also loudly announced the start of the worship ceremony, and then the village chief said some encouraging words, and then everyone knelt down to worship heaven and earth.
Although Xia Yu didn't want to kneel, looking at everyone's sincere and serious expressions, he could only kneel helplessly.
After the worship, everyone on the stage picked up a bowl of blood and drank it with their heads up, even Li Ling was no exception.
Xia Yu raised his head and drank a bowl of blood.
Not to mention, this kind of blood tastes quite delicious, I don't know if it's the blood of that kind of beast. As soon as this blood entered his abdomen, Xia Yu suddenly felt an indescribable comfort all over his body, as if his entire body was full of vitality.
"Next, I will introduce to you the distinguished guest of our village, Xia Yu!" said the village chief, turning to look at Xia Yu.
Xia Yu was stunned for a moment, he didn't expect the village chief to introduce him to the villagers at such an important ceremony, I'm afraid not everyone has this treatment, right? Xia Yu thought about it and turned his head to look at the others, and sure enough, he saw that Li Tong, Li Ling and the others on the stage were all looking at Xia Yu with strange expressions, and the only people on the stage who had normal faces were the village chief and the middle-aged uncle Li Xun.
Although Xia Yu didn't understand why the village chief did this, he still walked out under the village chief's gaze.
"Don't look at him young, he is an animal trainer! In the morning, he also saved Li Tong! You must know that he rescued Li Tong from the four brothers of the Gao family in the neighboring village!" The village chief's words suddenly aroused an uproar, the four brothers of the Gao family The whole village knows that the strength of the four of them is very familiar to the villagers, if this is really the case, then how high is the strength of this young man?
The eyes of the people in the audience who looked at Xia Yu suddenly changed, many of them had received Li Tong's favor, Xia Yu saved Li Tong, which made their good impression of Xia Yu greatly increased. What's more, I heard that Xia Yu is still a trainer, this profession is the most admired by hunters, and every hunter will dream of owning a tamed beast!
Xia Yu didn't understand why the village chief wanted to tell this matter, could it be ...... Xia Yu vaguely guessed the intentions of some village chiefs, and sure enough, he only heard the village chief continue: "The four brothers of the Gao family in the neighboring village often rob the prey of hunters in our village, and I think everyone has been robbed, but this time they were so blatant and injured Li Tong, it is indeed too much!"
The young man immediately shouted angrily, without exception, saying that he could not spare the Gao brothers.
"Everyone knows the situation in our village, so I won't say more. This time, through the worship ceremony, I will tell you the good news that the hunting group in the village has decided to expand its recruitment! Next, the members of the hunting group will be selected, and then the hunting group in the village will hold a large-scale hunting event!"
Hearing that the hunting group was going to expand, the young people below were excited, which was undoubtedly good news for them, but the selection of the hunting group was also very strict, after all, they often went deep into the hunting area, facing all kinds of powerful large beasts, and those with poor strength were likely to die in the mouth of the beast.
"Everyone knows that in more than half a month, it will be the hunting competition in the hunting area, if we can win, not only can we get a lot of materials, but also can improve the prestige of our village, and people like the four brothers of the Gao family will not dare to fight our village again!"
The enthusiasm of the young people below was completely aroused, and they began to look eagerly at the stage, just waiting for the village chief to announce the start of the selection.
The selection competition finally began, this kind of selection also opened Xia Yu's eyes, don't look at the villagers in these villages do not understand spiritual power, but their physical fitness is extremely strong, and the sense of smell and hearing also makes Xia Yu feel surprised, although they are not necessarily very powerful when fighting, but they are born hunters, and even Xia Yu is impressed by the keen consciousness they show.
For example, the young man on the stage now, when he heard Li Ling say that his name was Li Xiaohe, his ears were so sharp that even Xia Yu was amazed.
The selection is mainly carried out from four aspects, physical fitness, speed, smell, hearing, if one of them is particularly outstanding, the other aspects can also lower the requirements, but even if the requirements are lowered, their overall strength is the best among all hunters.
A total of fifteen young hunters were screened for this selection of the hunting group, most of them were about twenty years old, but all of them had more than ten years of hunting experience, which is definitely a surprising number.
There were originally twenty hunters in the hunting group, and except for Li Ling, the others in the old group were all about thirty or forty years old, and most of the old hunters were only active in the periphery of the hunting area, and they usually taught young people hunting skills and made simple hunting props in the village.
What makes Xia Yu feel strange is that people here don't use hunting dogs or anything like that, after asking Li Ling, Xia Yu knew that hunting dogs themselves are extremely expensive, although domesticating hunting dogs is not as difficult as domesticating wild beasts, ordinary people can also domesticate them, but domesticating hunting dogs takes a long time, and it is better to concentrate on practicing their hunting skills.
Xia Yu nodded, indeed, his own strength is the most important, although the hound can help the hunter hunt, but when it comes to a truly dangerous beast, the hound is far from helping.
Next up is Happy Hour. The scraps of meat that had been cut from the flesh of the beast were now boiled into a tender and beautiful broth, and some fruit was placed in it, and its deliciousness could be smelled from afar, and the broth could be drunk as long as you could.
There were some impromptu performances on stage, and Li Ling also sang an unknown song, which was a language that Xia Yu couldn't understand, but Li Ling's sweet voice coupled with that unique tune also had a very wonderful feeling.
The worship ceremony didn't end until very late, and Li Tong drank and his face was flushed, and he could see that he was very happy.
The next day, the village was eerily silent. Maybe it was because he slept late last night, Li Tong, who usually got up very early, hasn't gotten up yet, but Xia Yu woke up first.
Thinking of the good times last night, Xia Yu shook his head, life has to go on, it is estimated that the people in this village have not held a worship ceremony for a long time, even Li Tong is so excited, let alone others!
"Brother Li Tong, Brother Li Tong......" Li Ling's voice came from outside the door, and Xia Yu heard Li Tong from the Gobi answer, followed by the sound of the bed board ringing.
"Lingling, aren't you going to Zhonghe Village today, are you leaving now?" Li Tong's voice also revealed a hint of exhaustion.
"Brother Li Tong, I was about to leave just now, but I thought that you said yesterday that you wanted to sell some beast meat, so I came over to get it. ”
"Ah, I almost forgot! Look at my memory, I drank a little more last night......"
Li Ling said angrily, "The injury on your leg is healed, I told you not to drink, but you just didn't listen!"
Li Tong laughed wryly, "Aren't I happy! It's been a long time since our village has held a worship ceremony, it's rare to be happy, how can you not drink some wine! Lingling, you wait here, I'll take the space items where the beast meat is placed." ”
Li Ling answered, leaning against the door frame, waiting for Li Tong to bring the beast meat.
"Li Ling, you got up so early!" Xia Yu walked out and stretched.
"Well, we're going to Zhonghe Village today, if you need anything, I can help you bring some back. Li Ling said to Xia Yu with a smile.
"You're going to Zhonghe Village...... Xia Yu muttered, "How do you get there?"
