Chapter 6 Companionship
Watching the clan elder scratch at himself endlessly, Jia Jie's goosebumps fell to the ground. Unable to bear it anymore, he cried sadly: "What are you looking for, can't I give it to you?" After that, he lifted his leather robe: an ivory knife, a bite of dried meat, a flint, a bamboo flute, a bamboo tube containing phoenix insects, and a small leather bag sewn by a red crow...... Small things were taken out of his arms, shook them a few times in front of the clan elder's eyes, and put them on the ground one by one.
The clan elder grinned at the mouth with missing front teeth, coughed dryly, and said to Jia Jie solemnly: "Cub bear, grandpa told you something. You are already the only cultivator of our Yan Clan. The future of the Yan clan depends on you!"
Jia Jie fainted, I just slept for a while, how could I become the future of the Yan clan after waking up?
"Clan Grandpa, what is a cultivator?"
"Cultivator...... Hey, Jia Jie, there are some things that I should let you know! Cultivators are the people in our human race who can cultivate the Immortal Fa. You should know that wild beasts can become demon beasts through cultivation, and demon beasts can advance to the spirit through cultivation, and even become demons, calling for wind and rain, and can do anything! We human races can also gain great strength through cultivation, cross the calamity and become immortals, and become the same existence as witches and demons!" The old clan elder puffed up his chest and said with a wistful expression.
"Oh, then why don't our clansmen cultivate immortals? If you become strong, you don't have to be afraid of demon beasts, and you can eat enough every day?" Jia Jie said curiously.
"How easy is it for everyone to cultivate immortals!" the clan elder smiled bitterly, "Not all beasts can become demon beasts, and in the same way, not all human races can cultivate immortals. Cultivating immortals requires qualifications! Back then, the Nanshan Clan, the mother of our Yan Clan, only had twenty-eight cultivators at most. That's a big clan of 3,000 people! Hey, if only our Yan clan cultivators hadn't died early, I think we wouldn't have fallen into the situation we are in today...... It's my incompetence!" the patriarch wept sadly.
"Our Yan Clan has also had cultivators?"
The clan elder seemed to fall into memory, and after a while, he said, "He is my elder brother, a cultivator who has reached the early stage of pull-ups. In the pull-up period, it is a strong existence that can resist high-level demon beasts! Hey, it's a pity, in the Great Migration, in order to cover the retreat of his clansmen, he killed two fifth-order flame wolf queens, and was attacked and killed by the sixth-order peak demon beast wolf emperor of the overlord of the fire wolf field......" Speaking of the lost brother, the old man couldn't help but cry.
Jia Jie couldn't help but feel reverence, imagining the heroic demeanor of this predecessor who tried to stop the wolves and protect the clansmen.
"Actually, there's no way. Cultivation requires qualifications, and even more so, resources. There are not many people in our clan who have cultivated to the late stage of martial arts, just like your father. Can it be said that they have no talent? As long as there are enough spirit stones for them to cultivate, there will always be people who break through the bottleneck, reach innateness, and become cultivators! However, there are only a few spirit stones brought out from the mother clan, and it is not enough to refine medicine to save their lives for many years, so how can there be extra spirit stones for them to cultivate? Therefore, I have to hope that there will be a natural cultivator in the clan who can activate the inheritance bloodline and lead the clan out of the predicament without the need for spirit stones! Fifteen years, Emperor Wa has favored me, and finally let me wait!"
The old man took Jia Jie's hand and chattered for a long time with tears in his eyes, telling him a lot about the cultivators and the bright future of the Yan clan, and then he reluctantly let him go home.
At night, the hills of the South Valley.
The cubs sat on the top of the hill with their knees crossed, their black hair blowing in their ears in the evening breeze.
Jia Jie thought a lot in his heart, thinking about the cultivator, thinking about the failed traverser, absorbing his strange knowledge and experience, as well as the mysterious red light in his body - inheritance power. The patriarch said that the power in his bloodline had not yet been fully unearthed, and that it had to be triggered by a mysterious ritual. Think about the red crow and the white wolf, the bear hunting wife and the father with a broken arm, and even, he also thought about the future of the Xia Yan clan a little......
Before I knew it, I fell asleep at the top of the mountain......
Early in the morning, before the sun had fully peeked out of the eastern peak, Jia Jie, who was sleeping on the top of the mountain, was woken up by a crisp birdsong.
Frustrated, brushing the dew off his face, a carp straightened up.
His eyes rolled and Jia Jie smiled gloomily: "Thief bird, you were the first to quarrel with me, don't blame the young master for being ruthless!"
After brewing his breath, he raised his head to the sky and let out an inhuman strange roar.
"Wow-", those birds and beasts who were still lazy or had just come back from eating "night" were all awakened at once, and half of the mountains and forests were gone for a while, so it was not lively.
Jajay laughed, got up, and ran in the direction of the village.
The mountain range where the Yan clan is located can only be regarded as the periphery of the mountain. I didn't see too powerful birds and monsters infested, and there were guards at the mouth of the valley, so in general, the valley was relatively safe. So the bear hunters are not very worried about Jia Jie sleeping outside.
After running a distance, I moved my body thoroughly. Jia Jie's speed gradually increased, and a faint red light began to glow outside his body. The red light is warm and peaceful, and it is not under Jia Jie's control, but the benefits are obvious. Whenever there was a flash of red light, Jia Jie would feel several times more strength in his body out of thin air, and his speed would also increase greatly, as if he had changed people. Jia Jie seems to have infinite energy in his body, and he is very uncomfortable if he doesn't squander it. At the beginning, the frequency was not too fast. Later, when I took a step, it was already two, five, and seven...... With a slight tap on the ground, the body rushes out of the distance. And where the toes are pointed, it will immediately become a big pit, Jia Jie's legs swing faster and faster, along the way the earth and rocks flying, flying sand and rocks, so not spectacular!
By the time Jia Jie reached the entrance of the village, his speed had reached the extreme. The early risers watched in amazement as an afterimage passed by, and a warning mixed with horror and excitement sounded in their ears: "Get out of the way!
rushed all the way into the village, causing a flurry of chickens and dogs. Eventually, Jajay plunged headlong into the river in the middle of the village before he stopped.
"Brother Jia Jie, take a bath early in the morning, be careful of catching a cold!" There was a crisp laugh, and without asking, the naughty red crow began to tease the hapless Brother Jia Jie. "Yes, yes, it's only fun to wash your bare buttocks~~ Brother Jia Jie's bare butt is taking a bath~~" A few little kids around also seized the opportunity and began to coax.
When Jia Jie, who was drenched in soup, walked into his house, he saw that the thin clan elder was already sitting by his fire, and the bear hunter's wife was busy giving breakfast to the old man. The one-armed bear hunter sat quietly on the other side of the fire, silent.
"Boy, take a shower early in the morning, and you're still wearing clothes?! Well, it deserves to be the genius of our Yan clan, and it's really extraordinary!" The old clan sat with a face rushing to the door, and when he saw Jia Jie walking in with an embarrassed face, he didn't have anything to say when he opened his mouth. After speaking, he deliberately "tsk" twice, which seemed to be unfinished.
"Bear, what's the matter, it's like this?" The bear hunter's wife hurriedly found a dry leather robe and asked her son to change into it.
Ignoring the clan elder who was disrespectful to the old and said hello to his father, Jia Jie took the dry leather robe and put it on.
After changing his clothes, Jia Jie grabbed a piece of hot muntjac meat from the fire pit and nibbled on it.
The life of the clan is not good, the clansmen who go out to hunt have two meals a day, and the other clansmen, except when they catch big prey, generally only have one breakfast. Meals are based on grilled meat and wild vegetable soup. There are all kinds of wild vegetables in the soup, as well as mountain delicacies such as mountain mushrooms, fungus, and bamboo shoots, and you can eat whatever you pick. Then add a small amount of salty juice from white stone or salty animal blood. If the food is not salty, how can they have the strength to hunt? The Yan people did not know that there was salt, but they only replaced it with the method handed down by their ancestors.
Miscellaneous things are put together, but the boiled vegetable soup is also fragrant and delicious.
After eating a few pieces of barbecue and drinking a large bowl of vegetable soup, he patted his stomach and said, "Let's go!"
The clan elder raised his sparse eyebrows and said, "Stinky boy, do you remember that there was a big event today!"
The clan elder was in front, and the bear hunter family of three was behind, and a group of four people walked towards the old clan's stone house.
The clan elder went in and fetched a few things, and propped up the leather bag he was carrying, which looked a little heavy.
Jia Jie walked over reluctantly, took the bag and carried it on his back. Yao Lao praised: "Good boy, you still have a few eyes!"
Jia Jie raised his face and said, "That's!"
"Xiongzi, don't be unreasonable to the clan elders!" Hunting Xiong Yan couldn't stand it and reprimanded his son.
After a while, the patriarch Chi Fengyan, Nulu Yan and his wife, and the only four strong late-stage masters in the clan arrived. Before leaving, the white wolf and the red crow got the news from nowhere, so they had to follow them to watch the ceremony. The clan elder couldn't help but rely on the small sale of the red crow to mess around, so he had to agree to let the two of them go together.
Reading is exciting, reading is wonderful!
