Chapter 2: The Oath
Xuanyuan Tianyou walked home alone, he was thinking about what he had just cultivated, and he was thinking about how to break that barrier, when suddenly a voice interrupted him.
"Brother God...... Wait for me!" Xuanyuan Hong shouted and chased after him, panting.
"Oh, Hong, what's the matter?" Xuanyuan Tianyou looked back and saw that it was Xuanyuan Hong, and showed a kind smile.
"Brother Tianyou, why are you usually cold, so that everyone doesn't dare to approach you!" Xuanyuan Hong said as he looked at the smile that Tianyou would only show in front of him.
"Is there one?" said Xuanyuan Tianyou. Although Tianyou is young, he is precocious, he wants to share the burden of the family for his parents early on, and he has no time to play with other people on weekdays, so he doesn't take the initiative to communicate with others.
But God bless this kind of person, if you take the initiative to make friends with him, you will find that he is a very easy person to get along with.
"Maybe it's because I think too much on weekdays!" Tianyou thought in his heart. He might really have taken the initiative to socialize with everyone, after all, he only had one friend so far.
"Forget it, don't care about that! Brother Tianyou, tell me about today's cultivation, why is it that my cultivation according to your method has no effect at all? I was beaten by my grandfather. Xuanyuan Hong said while holding his buttocks.
"Is this this? I definitely still have nothing to do with Xuangan!" Xuanyuan Tianyou said a little embarrassed.
Xuan sense refers to the induction of Xuan Qi, and only when Xuan Qi is strong can he sense Xuan Qi and thus become a Xuan Qi.
"Well, too, when I went to school for a while, Brother Tianyou, you want to tell me about the Xuanwen that the patriarch said yesterday, I haven't even understood it yet!" Xuanyuan Hong said with a depressed face.
"Okay!" Although Xuanyuan Tianyou was cold on the outside, he was actually very helpful on the inside, and often helped Xuanyuan Hong explain to him some knowledge that he didn't understand.
"Hey—I don't know when I'll become a mystic, so I can go out and wander!" Xuanyuan Hong said with a longing expression.
Xuanyuan Hong has a lot of idle books and magazines at home, he likes to read these things when he has nothing to do, he knows a lot of interesting stories about the outside world, and he also knows that the continent where they are located is called Xuanwu Continent, and he understands more deeply that this is a world where the strong are respected, so he worships Xuanyuan Tianyou extraordinarily.
Xuanyuan Hong's dream is to one day become a mystic, travel and see the world.
"Grandpa said, the outside world is very dangerous, don't let us go out!" Tianyou's grandfather is the patriarch of the entire Xuanyuan clan, and he once traveled with some people in the cottage, but in the end, only two people came back.
"I'm strong enough! I'm not afraid of outsiders!"
Tianyou can only smile at this, Tianyou is precocious, grandpa has told him many insidious things outside, he knows that what is more terrifying than the mysterious beast is the human heart, but Xuanyuan Hong can't understand these things, and Tianyou won't tell him.
Because, Tianyou's goal is very simple, that is, to become a mystic, help his father go hunting in the mountains, and reduce the burden on the family.
"Brother Tianyou, since you can channel Xuanyang's qi, are you about to become a Xuanyang?" Xuanyuan Hong suddenly exclaimed in surprise.
"Not yet!" Tianyou said modestly, now he felt a barrier in his body hindering him from absorbing Xuan Qi, and Tianyou tried to attack this barrier with the Xuan Qi he channeled, but it had no effect.
"If you can become a mystic at the age of eight, then it is really remarkable? I read the book that anyone who can become a mystic before the age of fourteen is an existence that can be crowned king!" Xuanyuan Hong said.
Xuanyuan Tianyou scratched his head and said embarrassedly, "Hold...... I don't know! I'll try my best!" Tianyou's character is bright and upright, without the slightest hypocrisy, and he will not easily promise what he is not sure of, but he will never shirk what he can do.
"Brother God, you are so powerful! Eight-year-old Xuanzhi, this is the youngest Xuanzhi in the world in our cottage!" Xuanyuan Hong said adoringly.
"Not necessarily, I don't know when I'll be able to break through!" Xuanyuan Tianyou said with a blushing face.
Tianyou's physique is different from ordinary people, his strength has grown rapidly, and he already has a lot of strength at the age of eight, which is already comparable to an adult in the mountains!
But the physique that is different from ordinary people is also Tianyou's trouble, that is, he eats a lot, and it is not ordinary, and the food at home is not enough for Tianyou to eat.
Although Xuanyuan Cottage is adjacent to the 100,000 mountains, there are very few fertile fields in the mountains, and the food in the cottage is mainly obtained from hunting in the mountains, but there are ancient mysterious beasts in the 100,000 mountains, and the strength is too strong and terrifying, even the Xuanyuan people dare not say that they can retreat from the 100,000 mountains, so there may be bloodshed and sacrifice every time they hunt.
Heaven blessed the amount of food, thinking that the frequency of this father's entry into the mountains would be greatly increased, and danger would follow.
In order to reduce the number of times his father went into the mountain, Tianyou only ate half full each time.
If he can become a mystic, even if he is not old enough now, he can go into the mountains to hunt, and he can reduce the burden on his family.
Teenagers in the cottage are only allowed to follow adults into the mountains to hunt when they are sixteen years old, and at the age of sixteen they will perform ancestor worship ceremonies, also known as coming-of-age ceremonies.
After the age of sixteen, he is already an adult, able to go into the mountains to hunt, and obtain his own fruit.
But there is another way to enter the mountain in advance, and that is to become a mystery, but there has never been a mystic person under the age of fourteen in the history of Xuanyuan Village, let alone a mystic person who is only eight years old!
The two little boys walked while talking, and soon arrived at the door of Tianyou's house.
"Oh no! I forgot the time, Brother God, I'll go first. Xuanyuan Hong saw that he had arrived at the door of Xuanyuan Tianyou's house, and immediately ran to his house in a hurry.
Just when Xuanyuan Hong turned around, the door of Tianyou's house opened, and a beautiful woman appeared in front of Tianyou and the two, this woman was slender, wearing a long apron, and her delicate melon seed face was a little pale, as if she was very weak, she was Xuanyuan Tianyou's mother Xuanyuan Hanyan.
"It's Xiaohong, come in and eat together. Xuanyuan Hanyan saw that it was his son's good friend, so he invited.
"No, no, thank you, Auntie, I need to hurry home, or my grandfather will spank me again." Xuanyuan Hong turned around and waved his hand and shouted.
Xuanyuan Hanyan wanted to say something, but Xuanyuan Hong had already run away, and finally could only hold back one sentence: "Really, how can this kid run so fast!"
Xuanyuan Tianyou just shook his head when he looked at Xuanyuan Hong who was leaving, he knew how strict Xuanyuan Hong's grandfather was with his grandson.
"Xiaotian, come in and eat! Today, your mother made a barbecue, your father has been in the mountain for almost seven days, and he should be able to come back today, and when your father comes back, his mother will cook a big meal for you." Xuanyuan Hanyan said to Xuanyuan Tianyou with a loving face.
"Hmm!" Xuanyuan Tianyou knew that his mother had old injuries and was much weaker than ordinary people, but every time his mother gave him the best meat, and she only ate a small amount of coarse wheat, he knew that every time his father went into the mountains for several days, and every time he traveled between life and death, in order to give him more meat, so that he could grow his body faster.
Such loving parents, Tianyou really can't bear to add any more burden to them, and he vows to become a mystic soon.
Xuanyuan Tianyou followed his mother into the stone house, and the table was still the same, a large plate of barbecue meat was placed in front of his place, a plate of thick dough cakes was placed in the center, and a bowl of pickles.
"Wash your hands and sit down to eat. Xuanyuan Hanyan brought a basin of water and brought it to Tianyou.
"Hmm. Xuanyuan Tianyou sat on the table and ate after washing his hands, and his mother Xuanyuan Hanyan was watching from the side.
"Mom, why don't you eat it?" asked Xuanyuan Tianyou.
"Ahh Eat it!" Xuanyuan said.
"Hmm. Xuanyuan Tianyou's eyes were a little red, he knew that there must be no food at home, so his mother said so.
"Mother, I will definitely become a mystic, so that I can go into the mountains to hunt and help my family. Xuanyuan Tianyou raised his head and said firmly.
"Well, Mom believes in you!" Xuanyuan Hanyan encouraged.
In fact, she is already very grateful that God can give her another chance to be a mother, seven years ago she was injured by the mysterious beast, and finally saved her life, but she not only lost the child she just conceived, but also completely lost the ability to give birth.
God bless, she feels that this is the best reward that God has given her. But she only hated that she didn't have the ability to go into the mountains to hunt now, otherwise, Tianyou wouldn't even be hungry.
Tianyou has shown amazing strength from a very young age, but he also needs a lot of food.
Although, Tianyou's grandfather is the patriarch, but the patriarch must be fair and selfless, and the distribution of food is divided according to the contribution of the hunt, even the patriarch cannot share a little more for personal gain.
However, due to Tianyou's father's extraordinary performance in the hunting team, the food allocated to Tianyou's family each time was enough for three or four adults to eat, but in the end it was still not enough, which is enough to show how much Tianyou eats.
Tianyou is very sensible, although he can't eat enough every time he eats, he never cries, but he pays close attention to cultivation, and wants to become a mystic to help his parents as soon as possible.
But Xuanyuan Hanyan looked at his son, who only ate half full every time, and was very distressed. Parents can't even feed their children, which makes Xuanyuan Han feel very incompetent.
"Mom, don't worry! Not only will I become a mystic, but I will also go into the 100,000 mountains to find the legendary mystical medicine to cure your illness, and I will also hunt many mystical beasts, so that everyone can have endless meat of mystical beasts!" The little boy made a vow here, and the legend began at this moment.
