Chapter 9: The Annual Sacrifice
The Giant Axe Gang was like a dark cloud, shrouding the sky above Zhaojiazhuang.
However, life still has to pass, and people have to move on.
The next day, there was no further snow, and the people of Zhaojiazhuang began to get busy early in the morning, because today was the day of the New Year's Festival.
Everyone cleared the snow, arranged the festival, and then slaughtered the chickens and cows, and the owner Zhao Xiong led the people to worship the water god.
There were many people gathered on the martial arts training ground, men, women and children, as long as it was from Zhaojiazhuang, they all came.
Everyone worships the god of water together and prays for the blessing of the god of water, which can bring good luck to Zhaojiazhuang in the coming year.
After worshipping the god of water, the teenagers in the crowd suddenly became excited, and they were all eager to try, and some couldn't wait.
Because the next step is the stone lifting ceremony, but all teenagers under the age of 18 have to carry stones to show their strength and talent.
Nine black stones had already been placed in the center of the martial arts training ground.
Zhao Xiong, the owner of the village, sat on the high platform and looked at the group of teenagers below, with relief and expectation on his face. These are the future of Zhaojiazhuang, and Zhaojiazhuang will depend on them in the future.
"Zhao Hong!" On the side, Zhao Yiming's uncle, Zhao Xiangde shouted solemnly.
Immediately, a tiger-headed teenager came out of the crowd and walked towards one of the black stones.
Everyone could see that it was a three-thousand-pound black stone, and it was obvious that this young man thought that he had reached the Triple Heaven of the Martial Body Realm.
In fact, he did.
"Ahhh
The adults all laughed and clapped, and they all came from this scene, so they understood the boy's mood at this moment.
"Zhao Lan!"
"Zhao Daniu!"
......
As a young man lifted a stone, the atmosphere on the martial arts training ground became more and more hot.
The adults were also very satisfied with the performance of the teenagers.
"This year's group of boys is much better than last year. ”
"yes, it looks like they worked hard last year. ”
......
The ceremony of lifting the stone, when it was Zhao Feiyang's turn to play, reached a climax.
Everyone stared at Zhao Feiyang who came out of the crowd.
Because everyone knows that Zhao Feiyang is the genius of their Zhaojiazhuang, and the genius of the previous generation is Zhao Feiyu.
"It seems that Zhao Feiyang reached the Martial Body Realm Four Heavens the year before last, should he challenge the Martial Sports Realm Five Heavens this time?"
Zhao Xiong, Zhao Xiangde, and Zhao Xiangrong also looked at Zhao Feiyang with encouragement.
Zhao Feiyang walked out of the crowd under the watchful eye and walked towards the fifth black stone with a confident face.
Sure enough, he really wanted to challenge the Fifth Heaven of the Martial Body Realm.
"Drink!"
In the expectant gaze of everyone, Zhao Feiyang roared, and his hands suddenly raised the black stone in front of him.
"Whoa!"
Suddenly, there was an exclamation around the martial arts training ground.
But more than that, happy.
With such a genius, they Zhaojiazhuang will have one more strong man in the future.
"Yes, Feiyang's talent is on par with Feiyu, they can all reach the Nine Heavens of the Martial Body Realm in the future, and they are the future pillars of our Zhaojiazhuang. Zhao Xiong laughed, his face was full of relief, because these were all his grandsons.
Zhao Xiangde also smiled.
Zhao Xiangrong was even happier, after all, Zhao Feiyang was his son.
"Sure enough, the child has to be beaten, and the last time I beat him, he broke through to the Fifth Heaven of the Martial Body Realm. Zhao Xiangrong said triumphantly.
Zhao Xiangde next to him didn't bother to pay attention to him, and said loudly: "Next-Zhao Yiming!"
The surrounding voices disappeared suddenly, and everyone's eyes slowly converged on Zhao Yiming.
In the past, Zhao Yiming was a little transparent, and although he was Zhao Xiong's grandson, he would not have so many people paying attention.
However, not long ago, the villagers heard that Zhao Yiming had defeated Zhao Feiyang and reached the Martial Body Realm Four Heavens, and even the visualization had reached the level of entry.
Therefore, at this stone-lifting ceremony, many people are looking forward to Zhao Yiming's performance.
"Zhao Yiming was only promoted to the Fourth Heaven of the Martial Body Realm not long ago, this time he should choose the fourth black stone. ”
"The young man is young and vigorous, maybe he will choose the fifth block. ”
"That's right, he defeated Zhao Feiyang, and Zhao Feiyang has now stepped into the Fifth Heaven of the Martial Body Realm, he is definitely unwilling. ”
......
The villagers whispered.
Zhao Xiong, Zhao Xiangde and the others all set their eyes on Zhao Yiming who came out of the crowd, and for this period of time, Zhao Yiming has stayed at home to cultivate, so they don't know how Zhao Yiming's progress is.
However, they all felt that Zhao Yiming should only be the Fourth Heaven of the Martial Arts Realm, after all, how much progress could he make in just two or three months?
"It's finally my turn!"
It was the first time that Zhao Yiming had received much attention, and he was a little nervous and a little excited.
Zhao Feiyang walked over from the center of the martial arts training ground, and when he passed by Zhao Yiming's side, he smiled proudly: "Zhao Yiming, now I have also reached the Fifth Heaven of the Martial Body Realm, just like you." ”
"Really?"
Zhao Yiming smiled lightly.
Immediately, Zhao Yiming walked towards the nine black stones in the center of the martial arts training ground.
And, he walked straight to the sixth black stone.
"What!"
Zhao Feiyang watched Zhao Yiming walk towards the sixth black stone, his eyes couldn't help but widen, and he couldn't believe it: "Could it be that this guy has been promoted to the Sixth Heaven of the Martial Body Realm? Impossible, in such a short period of time, how could he have risen to another level?"
Not to mention Zhao Feiyang.
Everyone else was stunned.
"Zhao Yiming actually chose the sixth black stone!"
"Is he going to challenge the Six Heavens of the Martial Body Realm?"
"Impossible, he has only been promoted to the Fourth Heaven of the Martial Body Realm not long ago, how can he reach the Sixth Heaven of the Martial Body Realm so quickly. ”
"After all, it's a young man, too proud, too impatient. ”
"It is estimated that he was stimulated by Zhao Feiyang. ”
......
The villagers all shook their heads, not thinking that Zhao Yiming would be able to lift the sixth black stone.
"What the hell is this kid doing?" Zhao Xiong grimaced.
He didn't think that Zhao Yiming would be able to lift the sixth black stone, he felt that Zhao Yiming had made a little progress during this time, and he began to become proud, and there was no one in his eyes, which made him very unhappy.
Zhao Xiangde next to him also frowned.
Second uncle Zhao Xiangrong said with a sneering face: "This kid must have seen my baby surpass him, so he was unwilling in his heart, but it's a pity that he actually wanted to challenge the sixth black stone, and he really thought that he had reached the sixth heaven of the martial arts realm, and he couldn't do it enough." ”
"This kid ......," cousin Zhao Feiyu shook his head with a wry smile.
Just when everyone was not optimistic about Zhao Yiming, he had already walked in front of the sixth black stone.
Looking at the black stone in front of him, which was the size of a water tank, Zhao Yiming took a deep breath, then squatted down and hugged the black stone.
The next moment, Zhao Yiming's eyes widened, and he suddenly raised his breath.
"Huh!"
Zhao Yiming lifted the black stone.
Not far away, the second uncle Zhao Xiangrong was still sarcastic: "This kid's posture is very sufficient, as if he can really lift it...... What? This can't be!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he saw Zhao Yiming raise the black stone, and his eyes immediately widened, and his face was full of shock.
"Whoa, whoa......" The entire martial arts training ground was already full of exclamations.
Zhao Xiong, Zhao Xiangde and others all stared at each other, and their faces were full of disbelief.
Zhao Yiming actually really reached the Sixth Heaven of the Martial Body Realm.
God, it's only been two or three months.
