Chapter 3: The Demon King of the Mixed World
As night wore on, darkness covered the land, and the village was quiet and peaceful away from the hustle and bustle of the day. The hazy mist filled the night sky, like a veil covering the mountains and forests, and the late night breeze was light, and only the rustling of the leaves of the mountains and forests could be heard. The lively critters of the day have already fallen asleep, and only the nocturnal foraging for food will open their eyes and begin their day's work.
The moonlight is bleak, and a child sits cross-legged on a huge stone at the entrance of the village, accompanied by the howl of wild wolves in the woods, but it is a different scene.
His hands were on his knees, he was making strange gestures, his eyes were slightly closed, and there was a pale cyan air flow swirling around his body, and the fireflies that appeared at night seemed to attract him, some landed on his body, others danced around him, and the cyclone gave off a soft aura that did not hurt the little ones who were making a lot of fun. The night became more and more quiet, and the pale blue cyclone around the small figure began to gradually change to pale red.
It wasn't until early in the morning that the fog began to dissipate, and the petrified child opened his eyes. The dew wet the big red belly pocket with the word "blessing" on it, and he pursed his lips slightly, as if he was dissatisfied.
"I don't know why Elder Grandpa has to let me practice late at night, and the two dogs and the little iron piece don't need a group of them. Ahh In a few moments, he paid the price for his actions and fell from the stone with a thud.
As if nothing happened, he got up and beat the dirt on his body, and when no one saw him, he stuck out his tongue lightly, and then ran happily towards the depths of the village.
In front of the elder's hut, a group of children of different sizes gathered. One by one, they sat upright, straightened their backs, and listened intently to the old man sitting on the rattan chair talking about the method of cultivation.
"From the beginning of birth, all things must pass from birth to death. This is true of people, and so is time. The morning is full of vitality and the night is like this, although the morning glow is not as good as the birth and conception of the human fetus, but it is the same. Entering the body with the morning glow, people will have vitality and vitality. Therefore, you little dolls can't be lazy, you need to practice more, healthy practice, this is the way to exercise!" he said, while holding the ring ruler in his hand, crackling.
"Yawn!" the fourteen-year-old boy yawned, seeming a little drowsy, and a pebble crept into his little head, making him feel a lot more energetic.
"Little Iron Piece, you don't listen well, don't you want the old man to treat Chen'er like that?" said the elder with his eyes half-opened, and his voice was not hurried.
The child's face showed a look of horror, and he hurriedly shouted in his crisp voice: "Elder, the little iron piece knows that it is wrong! I dare not desert, please ask the elder to spare me this time, I... If I were treated by you like Xiao Chenzi, I would lose half my life!Woo whoa!" said him, tears pouring out like no money.
The children in this village didn't know that Zhang Chen was notoriously mischievous, and this elder was also a figure among their children who would teach people in different ways. For example, once Zhang Chen secretly took an elder's fire pot to catch grasshoppers, and the one who was tortured by the elder after being caught was called miserable! The hanging tree was smeared with candied fruit, and the bees were full of small packets. There is also a day and a night with his feet tied and thrown into the well to hang, this is all Zhang Chen has experienced and they have all witnessed, although Zhang Chen still did not change his naughtiness during that time, but he also restrained a lot.
An old man who can make such a little demon king afraid, do you think a group of them can not be afraid?
At this moment, a milky voice came from a distance: "Elder grandpa, grandpa, I'm hungry! I want to eat!" Before the sound arrived, the person had already appeared in everyone's field of vision, this was Zhang Chen.
"Hey, why are you crying, Xiaotie Piece? Who bullied you? I'll help you teach him a lesson!" Looking at the crying child, Zhang Chen was stunned for a moment, and then walked up to him and said this, and then looked at a group of onlookers with unkind eyes.
He seemed to have forgotten that he was the youngest of the children, and at this time, he looked like this, but he was fierce and fierce, and he was quite imposing.
Slightly tugging Zhang Chen's belly pocket, Xiao Tie Piece wiped his tears and whispered: "Elder Grandpa wants to punish me, saying that he wants to treat me like you, I'm scared, so..." Hearing this, Zhang Chen's eyes turned to the elder who was sitting in front of the door leisurely, as if he remembered something, and then coughed lightly, touched Xiao Tie Piece's head and whispered: "Good Iron Piece, we can't beat him, besides, I'm here to eat! So you can solve it yourself! Grandpa, I'm hungry!" After speaking, he shouted at the old man.
The elder smiled and pointed to the backyard with his hand and said, "There is a white soup boiled in the courtyard, drink it yourself!"
As soon as he heard that there was white soup, Zhang Chen's big eyes instantly lit up, and his saliva couldn't stop sliding down from the corners of his mouth, looked at the poor little piece of iron, and then dropped him directly, and ran to the courtyard to open the stove and enjoy the white soup.
"Okay, don't cry! Now that Chen'er has returned, let's all go home for dinner! After eating, we will gather at the training ground and teach you how to practice the body passed down by our ancestors!" After speaking, he stood up and returned to the courtyard with a rattan chair.
A group of children stood up one after another, and some small pieces of iron that were still shedding tears ran outside together, without bringing their heads back.
"Whew!fragrant!," Zhang Chen gulped down the steaming white soup, full of praise.
"Hmph, you don't want anyone to boil this! This bowl of white soup is made by the old man and I fused tiger tendons, wolf waists, grass python meat, and white rice, all of which are good things that can enhance qi and blood!" Putting down the rattan chair, the elder said with satisfaction while wiping his beard.
"Well, Grandpa Elder, why don't you let me practice with Xiao Tie and them today?
Hold the ring ruler in your hand and tap Zhang Chen's little head, and scolded: "Isn't it because you steal the holy fruit? That thing breeds fire aura, if you don't let you suppress it with the death qi at night, your little doll can't burn all your organs? You are really bold! Fortunately, you are smart and have successfully practiced your body, if you haven't practiced cyclone like those little babies until now, then the old man can't save you, you really wait for death!" After speaking, it seemed that the anger that had been suffered last night came to his heart again, and the ring ruler knocked on Zhang Chen's head several times.
"Oops! it hurts!" Zhang Chen was in pain, and hurriedly took the white soup in his hand to hide for several meters, rubbing his little head with one hand and looking at the old man with resentful eyes, like a little resentful woman.
Looking at Zhang Chen's rather funny appearance, the old man snorted and laughed, and the depression in his heart was finally released, looking at Zhang Chen's lovely face, he seemed to think of something, sighed lightly, put down the ring ruler in his hand, and said slowly: "Let's eat!"
Seeing that the old man's face became a little heavy, Zhang Chen also fell silent when he saw this, and no longer had a hippie smile. The courtyard was quiet, only the small bubbles bubbling in the stove could be heard, and the fallen leaves were slowly falling, and this small courtyard seemed to be a little depressed now, and the silence was terrible.
