Chapter 12: Celebrating the Harvest

Everyone was shocked for a long time, staring at Zishang for a long time, and looked embarrassed at him. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Zixu came to his senses slightly and said, "Zishang, you said that you are at least in the sevenfold realm now, but you don't know the specifics, right?" Let's have a fight! ”

Children are always a little competitive, and when they heard that Zishang had broken through the Sevenfold Realm, they were a little suspicious on the one hand, and on the other hand, they also wanted to maintain their third position.

"Good!" Zishang accepted the challenge with a smile.

The two of them walked out of the "water side" and confronted each other in a clearing in front of the pavilion, Zishang pulled out a soft sword from his waist, adjusted his breathing, and then took the lead.

It's not that he doesn't feel inferior to Zixu, but he's not used to being passive from the beginning, so no matter who he fights with, he's always the one who strikes first.

With a fierce force under his feet, the thin figure was like a sharp sword out of the sheath, pointing directly at Zixu, a soft sword danced quickly in the air, like dozens of thin snakes volleying into the air, and the sword slashed through the air to produce a "sigh" sound, like a poisonous snake spitting out a letter.

Zixu's eyes condensed slightly, and the double knives greeted him without any fancy, and he chose to directly hit the hard.

However, this is very unfavorable to Zishang, who uses a soft sword and walks a smart and changing path, so the strength is not strong enough, and Zixu's double knife does not need to use much strength to block Zishang's soft sword, and then attack.

After understanding this, Zishang kicked the ground with his feet, flew back, and then the soft sword changed and danced, and with his elegant body, he used all his strength and directly threw out the ultimate.

"Weak willow to help the wind"

Zixu shouted loudly and rushed over directly, and the two knives quickly alternated blocks, wanting to use his strength to break through Zishang's sword moves.

Zishang's footsteps changed, revolving around Zixu, and the soft sword stabbed at Zixu like snow.

The two fought fiercely for dozens of rounds, and Zishang's physical strength was even better, and he won Zixu's move.

"Zishang, I'm afraid your strength has reached the peak of the Sevenfold Realm, but your swordsmanship is a little lacking, and the soft sword can't give full play to the advantage of strength, so you just barely beat Zixu." Zi Zhou pondered for a while and commented.

"Well, I also found out that I have recently used some quenching bone powder to refine my body, ignoring the practice of swordsmanship. Some of the previous swordsmanship is not suitable for me. Zishang replied.

Zizhu frowned and asked, "You can't use some forbidden medicine to refine your body, right?" ”

Zishang hurriedly waved his hand and said: "No, no, no, no, I have only used bone quenching powder more frequently in the past six months, but now that I have developed resistance, I can no longer rely on bone quenching powder to refine my body in the future." ”

Zizhang also frowned and criticized: "The most taboo thing for martial artists in the Body Refining Realm is to use drugs frequently, which will not only produce drug resistance, but also make the body feel dependent on drugs. Like I still have a sub-shaft, Zixu only uses it once a month, you are a little reckless. ”

They counted the Zishang, and Murong Zhixi had been pondering, others didn't know, but she knew very well that until yesterday morning, when she went to talk to Zishang, he was still in the middle of the Fivefold Realm.

In other words, what opportunities have the sub-merchants gained in the past ten hours!

Thinking of this, Murong Zhixi was a little angry, he told him the secret of Lingquan, and he didn't give himself a little bit when he got the opportunity!

The more she thought about it, the more angry she became, her face bulged with anger, her small mouth was so upturned to the sky, and she looked at Zishang with resentful eyes.

In the following hour, everyone learned from each other and talked about some martial arts exchange meetings, and finally parted at noon.

Zishang was about to leave, but was dragged back by Murong Zhixi, and when the other four had walked away, she asked angrily.

"Say! Do you have any adventures? Why don't you bring me? I also shared the secret of Lingquan with you, and you forgot about me when you encountered a good thing! I'm! ”

Zishang was a little helpless when asked, and told him about last night's incident, explaining: "I only killed the python last night, and then took its blood, and went to the medicine house in the village to buy quenching bone powder, fire forging meridian powder, and a small bottle of blue flame water!" Snake blood with spiritual spring to take internally, several fierce medicines mixed to refine the body, not to mention how dangerous! Nine deaths! I almost died in the medicine keg! ”

Murong Zhixi was a little unconvinced, and said: "The Flame Forging Sutra Scatter is for high-level body refining realm martial artists, and Lan Yanshui is a super body refining prescription that even the peak of body refining dare not use!" It's impossible not to know the power of the medicine! Even if you do, how can you still be alive? ”

"I haven't used these two prescriptions, and I don't know how fierce the medicine is, I thought that the division of the refining realm was very vague, so I thought that the so-called fierce medicine should be able to withstand it, and I also added snake blood, which can make the medicine relatively mild, but even so, I fainted in pain at first, and in the end I didn't know what happened, and my strength increased greatly after waking up."

"Hmm...... Well, trust you, but don't forget about me if it's good in the future! You know! Murong Zhixi reluctantly accepted this answer, and admonished before leaving.

"Good, good! Certain! Zishang agreed.

……

Night, Shigu Village.

On an open flat ground near thousands of hectares of fertile fields, hundreds of people stood or sat waiting for the celebration to begin, men and women in groups of three or five, each gathered in a group, "chirping" and chatting about the parents, some about the harvest, some about their own dolls, and the temporary "staff" who were busy with the celebration.

At this time, in the center of the crowd, a huge firewood pile with a height of seven feet has been piled up, and there are six three-foot good firewood stacks around it, forming a hexagonal pattern of stars holding the moon.

As soon as the first watch day arrived, Ziyun was surrounded by everyone, and simply announced the start of the harvest celebration, and threw the torch in his hand into the firewood stack. The other six stacks were also lit by six respected elders.

Some of the firewood on top of the stack was smeared with pine resin, and it was lit at once, and suddenly the firelight lit up the world, and everyone cheered in unison, holding hands, forming a circle around the seven bonfires, dancing for a quarter of an hour, and then sitting on the ground, watching the talent show of several performers.

In the whole venue, the sound of laughter was endless, and the fire shone on every face, whether immature, or old, or smiling, or focused. Every face is filled with joy and lightness.

However...... These smiling faces have experienced a year's hardships, the busyness of sowing seeds in spring, the labor of irrigation in summer, and the rush of harvesting in autumn.

Now they have occasional leisure and relaxation, but next year they will face all kinds of hardships and hardships.

They have to work hard for a new round of sowing, sweat like rain to plow the land and loosen the soil, and have to dig ditches and ditches with a sore back. You should frown and sigh for the plague of insects and drought.

In order to survive, they have worked hard year after year, bearing worries and anxieties year after year, sweating and tears year after year.

Shigu Village is quite wealthy, the village is almost full of warriors, with extraordinary physical strength, cultivating nearly 10,000 acres of fertile land, and there is a lot of grain surplus every year.

But on the land of Shenzhou, how many Shigu villages are there? The vast majority of them are still mortal villages, and their lives are really hard, with many people and few fields, and they can still have food and clothing in good years, and if there is a little drought or flood or war, they can only gnaw on tree bark, eat wild grass, and even eat people.

Since ancient times, Tang Yao Yu Shun, water control Dayu, no matter how harmonious and democratic, the people at the bottom are still unable to eat and wear, and tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of people die of hunger every year.

For more than a thousand years, the mysterious Great Xia, which has been sealed for a long time and is little known, the Great Shang who has not been cold and has been spanning for 600 years, or the Dahao, which rose overnight and created many legends, have not solved the problem of survival of the people at the bottom in the end.

Now they rejoice in the harvest, and in the future they will be more in the company of sorrow and sorrow.

Sometimes I think about it, people live a lifetime, maybe just for a few times of joy.

Looking at the laughing villagers, Zishang somehow suddenly became a little sentimental. Even he himself felt a little strange, he was just a six-year-old kid, and he actually thought about life, and he was still in such a scene of celebrating with the "village"!

Shaking his head with a wry smile, Zishang stood up, walked to the barbecue grill built by Zizhang and his children, took a charred and attractive grilled fish, and ate it alone against the tree......
