Chapter 8: The Spirit Seed
Spring goes to autumn, and in a blink of an eye, Jiang Qin is already ten years old. It has been almost five years since the pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info came to Red Leaf Town, and he has also been curious about everything from the beginning to the numbness now.
No matter how he said it, he was an old man here, looking at the obvious new group of children, Jiang Qin thought in his heart. But he sighed in his heart for these children, if he could do it all over again, no one would want to come here.
There were not a few children left in the group of children who came with him, and he was the only one left in their village. The reason why there are not many left is because of the special task of the children here - cleaning up the battlefield.
It's a nice task, but it's actually going to the battlefield where the battle has just ended, and finding and burying the corpses of your own people. This is still relatively easy to recognize, because the people of their Yanxian Gang are all wearing red clothes, while the people of the Yangxin Gang are wearing yellow clothes. Those who are involved in the battle will not do these things unless they have a good relationship with the deceased or a high status.
Jiang Qin still remembered that the first time they went to complete this task, they did not wear the clothes of the Yanxian Gang, but changed into gray clothes, and did not wear any signs, and each of them was given a short sword, Jiang Qin realized that this matter may not be so simple.
When they arrived at the battlefield, they saw dead people all over the mountains, lying lying in all directions, their internal organs and intestines everywhere, and the blood pooled into a small river, although it was not large, but it was kept endlessly.
At that time, what Jiang Qin felt was not nausea, but fear, intense fear. This fear oppressed his body and mind, making him want to vomit but couldn't, and could only keep retching. The other children behaved similarly, and even fainted a few times.
This time, it was a thirteen or fourteen-year-old boy who took Jiang Qin and them to complete the task. The boy was thin and small, carrying a large package, his skin was white and abnormal, he spoke little, and he looked like he was not close to anyone. He didn't even change his expression after seeing this Shura field-like scene, he just told Jiang Qin and them to hurry up and be careful of the dead.
The previous sentence is easy to understand, after all, there are so many corpses, it will take some time to tell whether it is from your own side.
But what does the latter sentence mean? Beware of the dead? Could it be that these dead people will come back to life and attack them?
Just when Jiang Qin was puzzled by this, a scream suddenly came from behind him. Frightened, Jiang Qin hurriedly looked back, only to see that the head of the original corpse suddenly exploded, and a monster that looked like a sheep but not a sheep, a pig and not a pig rushed out of a pile of minced meat, and grabbed a Jiang Qin's companion with sharp claws.
Jiang Qin's companion originally saw a corpse in a red shirt and wanted to step forward to carry it, but as soon as he got closer, the corpse's head suddenly exploded, causing him to let out a scream in fright.
The young man who led the team saw the monster for a moment, and immediately took out an object like a tree branch from the package he was carrying, and reached out and flicked it and accurately inserted it into the monster's head.
The monster looked vicious, but the moment the branches reached its body, it immediately turned over and fell, and after two convulsions, it did not move.
"Sister, hide in the ground, like to eat human brains, and stick a cypress branch into his head to kill him. That thing is the most common thing here, so be careful. After the young man finished speaking, he took out a few branches from the package and threw them to Jiang Qin and them.
"If you have such a thing, why don't you give it to us early. We had to be scared half to death. Jiang Qin saw that the young man knew that he would encounter this kind of thing, and he had prepared a solution, but he just waited for them to be startled before taking it out.
In the heart of being careful to sail the ship of ten thousand years, Jiang Qin found a long wooden stick and used it to pick open those corpses, so that even if there were any monsters, they would have time to dodge.
Just when Jiang Qin felt that every point was extraordinarily long, the area they were responsible for was finally completed. The next step is to change to another group of children.
They couldn't clean the entire battlefield at once, because the area of the battlefield was so large. It is also impossible to let them clean all the time, because then it will be too unfair to them, and it will not be useful for the other children, because this task is already intended to make them see the blood.
In the same way, they can't act together, if the target of the joint action is too big, the other party will definitely not mind killing back the horse gun and extinguishing their reserve force.
After completing the task, not only Jiang Qin breathed a sigh of relief, but the young man who led the team was also obviously much more relaxed. After greeting Jiang Qin and them, the group headed for the road they had come.
On the way, they met another group of people who had come to take over their mission, the same gray clothes, the same teenagers leading the team, and the same terrified children.
"I don't know if this captain will send them the cypress branches in advance, or if he will scare them before taking them out." Jiang Qin thought maliciously in his heart.
After returning to the town, the young man was going to a place called Yantang to hand in the task, and Jiang Qin and the others dispersed. Because they could only do this task for the time being, they were arranged to live together. When there is no task, the leader of the team will arrange training or other affairs.
Speaking of this, Jiang Qin was still a little glad in his heart, because although their captain was cold, he would not abuse them, and he would answer their questions. Usually the training is just to practice boxing, playing sword or something.
The other teams are not so lucky, I heard that there is a captain who is good at Longyang, in addition to the usual training, there is also some special training, which makes Jiang Qin can't help but chill, and secretly mourns for that team.
Jiang Qin didn't go far, but waited for their captain on the side, when they first met, he introduced himself as Shen Fei, and they usually called him the captain out of respect.
He didn't have to wait long for Shen Fei to come out of the Yan Hall, and Jiang Qin hurriedly greeted him.
"Captain, how long can we rest this time? There are some things I don't understand about the last boxing technique that I don't understand. Jiang Qin said.
"A big battle just ended yesterday, both sides of the enemy and us have lost a lot of manpower, there should be no mission in the short term, you must train quickly, if you want to survive. Also, if there is anything to say, there is no need to beat around the bush. You don't want to ask for any boxing techniques," Shen Fei said meaningfully.
"Well, this one, since the captain asked, I'll just say it. It's so dangerous here, why are there still a large number of people staying here, the captain doesn't say it's for the honor of the gang, I won't believe this excuse for coaxing children. ”
"Oh? Aren't you a child? Shen Fei didn't answer Jiang Qin's question directly, but asked rhetorically.
Without waiting for Jiang Qin to speak, Shen Fei continued, "For the sake of the gang, it is naturally impossible to let so many people stay here and fight for their lives. In order to take revenge, there may be some people left, but the most fundamental reason is that after accumulating enough military merits, you can exchange for a spirit seed. That's why most people stay here. ”
"Spirit seed? What is that? What are the seeds of cherished herbs? Jiang Qin asked suspiciously.
"It's not wrong to say it's a seed, but it's not planted in the soil, it's planted in our bodies."
"Planted in the body? Why is it planted in the body? Are there any benefits? What are the risks? "Jiang Qin's questions are getting more and more.
"There are still a lot of problems, some common sense things, there are bookstores in the town, you can buy them and take a look, I won't say more. Jiang Qin, you don't have a spiritual root. Shen Fei suddenly asked an irrelevant question.
"Yes, but how does the captain know, I remember never telling anyone."
"Because all the people who come here have no spiritual roots, including me. No, it should be said that the ordinary people who come here have no spiritual roots. If you have a spiritual root, even if it is a waste spiritual root, the upper sect will take you to cultivate. ”
"I see, what is the spirit seed, and why do so many people want it?"
"It's very simple, without the spiritual root, we can't sense the Heaven and Earth Yuan Qi, and we can't cultivate the truth. Therefore, we can only go all the way to practice the body, but the real method of practicing the body needs to attract the vitality of heaven and earth into the body at some critical times, and the spirit seed is something that can allow those of us who do not have spiritual roots to attract the vitality of heaven and earth. So it's definitely more attractive than you can imagine. ”
"Xiuzhen? What is it? ”
Shen Fei looked at Jiang Qin a little helplessly, sighed and said, "You have heard of the immortals in the mouths of ordinary people, they are those immortals who can breathe clouds and mist. They are cultivators. ”
"What? Immortals are cultivators? I heard that it appeared in Yingshui City. When Jiang Qin heard about this for the first time, he was very surprised.
"Don't be so surprised, now you are a member of the Xiuzhen Sect, and you have been seen as a joke."
