Volume 1 Snowy Boy Chapter 44 Baptism
At this time, Ling Tianhao had already gone to the backyard and carried out a large bag of herbs, which were picked by Dong Xiuzhen and Mo Wanjun one by one and divided into several different parts. These are the precious medicinal herbs that Ling Feng and Di Xun collected in the pine forest to strengthen their muscles and bones, as gifts for the children's coming-of-age ceremony.
As time passed, the yard gradually became lively. Ling Feng found Ling Chuan from the crowd and pulled him aside.
"Chuanzi, Yunuo's body has some minor problems, if you believe us, we plan to take her out for a trip. Because now you can see that this child is determined to practice, but if this little problem in her body is not solved, she will not be able to set foot in the cultivation world. You're the closest person in the world, so we'd like to hear from you. Ling Feng didn't tell him that he wanted to take Yunuo to the Southern Wilderness, because even if he did, Ling Chuan didn't know where the Southern Wilderness was, which made him worried.
"This ...... Village Chief, I don't know anything about cultivation, as long as Yunuo agrees, I have no opinion. Ling Chuan felt that he owed Yu Nuo too much, so this time he wanted to respect Yu Nuo's own ideas, and he believed that the village chief would not harm Yu Nuo.
"In that case, you and your wife will move in in the afternoon and stay with us. Anyway, I have a lot of houses, so I can live in them. Ling Feng knew that Ling Chuan was also stubborn, so he wanted to strike while the iron was hot and talked about this matter together.
"Then what's the matter, brother, Yunuo's matter has already caused you so much trouble, why am you embarrassed to bother you again. Ling Chuan excused himself. Although the old man had a poor life, his self-esteem was extremely strong, and he really didn't want to cause trouble to Ling Feng anymore.
"Why not! Is it useless for me to speak? Do you still recognize me as the village chief! Besides, as soon as Yu Nuo leaves, you have to hunt and take care of your younger siblings, are you too busy? You don't think about Yu Nuo, if this problem is not solved, will she go to practice with peace of mind?" Ling Feng applied both soft and hard, and resolutely did not let go. Ling Feng knew that if Yu Nuo was allowed to practice without any distractions, Ling Chuan's matter would have to be resolved.
"This ...... It's too troublesome......" Ling Chuan hesitated. The old man has his own dignity, and he doesn't want to trouble Ling Feng anymore unless he has to.
"What's the trouble or not, okay, that's it. After the baptism, let Tianhao and his family pick up their younger siblings and help you move by the way. Ling Feng no longer gave him a chance to think about it, nor did he let him speak. With that, he walked towards the crowd.
Ling Feng came to everyone, took out the "Lingjia Zhuang Zhi", held the wolf in his hand, and said to everyone: "The children who participated in the baptism have come to record it, and their names and ages must be clearly stated." ”
Hearing Ling Feng's words, in addition to the twelve children who attended the coming-of-age ceremony in the morning, twenty-five people walked out of the crowd one after another. They were all children who had not been baptized in the past five years.
Ling Feng swept over the thirty-seven people in front of him one by one, and suddenly showed a strange smile, and said, "After the baptism, your muscles and bones will be stronger than before, which can be regarded as the welfare of our Ling Jiazhuang, but ...... Remember, no matter how painful or tormented it may be, you are not allowed to leave baptism without my command. Do you understand everything?"
The thirty-seven children in front of him looked at Ling Feng's smile, and they had the feeling of getting on a thief ship, how did the village chief's smile feel...... They looked back at their parents and saw that they and the village chief's expressions were almost identical, except for a hint of expectation and worry in their parents' eyes.
"Okay, now come one by one, the boys follow your Uncle Tianhao, and the girls follow your Aunt Wanjun. Let's go. After Ling Feng finished speaking, he sat down at the table and began to record.
Thirty-seven people, not very troublesome, quickly separated, led by Ling Tianhao and his wife to the backyard. At the back of the courtyard there were forty large vats, fifteen of which were already filled with warm water, and various herbs were floating on them, exuding bursts of medicinal fragrance. There is also a small door on the back wall of the courtyard, which is open. Through the small door, you can see that there is a courtyard behind the small door, and there are also forty large vats in it, twenty-two of which are also filled with warm water, and they are also soaked in various herbs.
Mo Wanjun took fifteen girls to stay in the courtyard outside, and Ling Tianhao took the remaining twenty-two people through the small gate and walked towards the courtyard inside.
There were a total of thirty-seven jars in the two courtyards filled with herbs, but two of them had different herbs. Each yard has its own mouthful, the boy's side is Ling Yu's herbs are different from others, and the girls' side is Ling Yunuo's herbs are different from others. This is not favoritism, because Ling Yu and Yu Nuo have special physiques. Ordinary herbs had no effect on Ling Yu, so Ling Feng added Dragon Bone Grass, Fire Sun Grass, Flame Vine, and a small amount of Anchovy Flowers to his vat. The medicinal effect of this vat of herbs is very violent, and if you change to someone else, you may not hold on for half an hour and then you will explode and die. Medicine is good medicine, but it varies from person to person. It is estimated that only Ling Yu, a freak, can withstand such violent medicinal properties, and if he is someone else, it is no different from murder. And in Ling Yunuo's jar, the medicinal properties of the herbs were just the opposite of the medicinal properties in Ling Yu's jar. There are anchovies, dark sunflowers, and ice dew grass, all of which are mild and mild herbs. Ling Yunuo's physique couldn't withstand a trace of herbs with hot and dry properties, so Ling Feng and the others discussed it and decided to use these herbs to dredge Ling Yunuo's blood veins and enhance his physique.
In fact, Ling Feng was still a little selfish in doing this, he really felt sorry for Yu Nuo's child. As soon as today passes, tomorrow will go to the Southern Wilderness. Sleeping in the open on the way, he was really afraid that Yunuo's small body would not be able to bear it. Therefore, among these herbs given to her, a lot of drugs were added to strengthen the foundation of Peiyuan. Ling Feng believed that as long as Yu Nuo arrived safely in the Southern Wilderness and saw Wu Ma Feng, he would definitely have a way to solve Yu Nuo's physical problem. At the very least, he must have a way to make Yunuo practice. Because the name of the barbarian witch doctor is too loud, it has already shocked the world and the fairy realm. Even all the immortals of the Nine Heavens boasted that the problems of cultivators could be solved, let alone an ordinary child like Yu Nuo.
Everything was ready, and the children listened to Ling Tianhao and Mo Wanjun's instructions, and entered the tank one after another. At first, there was no reaction from the group of children. But before the time of half a pillar of incense, a heart-rending cry came out, that is, even some introverted girls were no longer reserved. The children kept crying and struggling in the medicine jar, but Ling Tianhao and Mo Wanjun stared at the children tightly, not letting them come out. A group of boys and girls had never had such a painful experience, as if there were thousands of ants in the medicine tank constantly biting their bodies, first the flesh felt extremely painful, then even the bones had a tingling sensation, and then the children felt that their tongues were numb, and they did not even have the strength to open their eyes. And they felt that the temperature in this medicine tank was constantly changing, sometimes cold as winter, sometimes hot as summer. In just one hour, it was like spending a long time in spring and autumn.
"Oh, oh, ah!" the boys in the yard howled, and every time they screamed, the fathers and mothers in the front yard shivered, saying that it was false to say that they were not distressed. But for the sake of their future, this group of adults can only endure the pain and pretend not to hear.
Baptism, to put it bluntly, is to transform the muscles, bones, flesh and blood, let the body be reborn again from the inside out, and eliminate the impurities in the body. It makes it easier for the body to absorb the aura of heaven and earth, close to pure and immaculate, although it cannot be completely transparent, but it is much stronger than some people who do not know how to practice.
A group of children bared their teeth and struggled in the tank. There was only one person who gritted his teeth and didn't make a sound, and that person was Ling Yunuo. In comparison, Ling Yunuo suffered more than the others. Because the medicinal properties of other people's herbs in the tank are neutral, the pain is the pain caused by metamorphosis. In addition to helping her transform, the herbs in Ling Yunuo's tank also impacted her flesh and blood from another angle, those herbs were cold and cold, obviously warm water, but Ling Yunuo felt a piercing chill. Beads of sweat dripping from her head, and she gripped the edge of the jar tightly with both hands, the joints of her fingers turned white and the green tendons on the back of her hands burst out because of the force. But just like that, she still didn't say a word.
"You're a strong kid, it's okay, just shout it out if you can't stand it, don't be afraid. Mo Wanjun was distressed watching from the sidelines, and took out a handkerchief to help Yu Nuo gently wipe his sweat, and said with concern.
"It's okay, I can bear it!" Ling Yunuo squeezed out a few words from between his teeth, and his immature little face was resolute.
In the front yard, a group of people kept walking back and forth. Ling Chuan scratched his ears and cheeks even more, fidgeting.
"Brother, is Yunuo really okay, this child's physique has not been good since she was a child, I'm afraid she won't be able to bear it. Ling Chuan rubbed his hands and feet and asked Ling Feng.
"Don't worry, Yunuo, this kid is very strong and tough, not to mention that Wanjun is in it, it's okay. Ling Feng comforted.
"However, the other children all screamed, only Yu Nuo didn't make a sound, it's been half an hour......" Ling Chuan was like an ant on a hot pot, he couldn't see it, but he still couldn't help but look at the backyard.
"This ......" Ling Feng heard this, his nose was almost crooked, you feel distressed when you say it, and you don't feel at ease if you don't make a sound. You are too difficult to serve, isn't this finding fault! However, he knew that Ling Chuan was concerned about it, and he couldn't blame him, so he had to continue: "It's soon, maybe Yunuo has completed his baptism and will come out soon." ”
"Really?!" As soon as Ling Chuan heard this, he immediately grabbed Ling Feng's shoulder and kept shaking it.
"Really, really! calm down! My old bones are about to fall apart!" Ling Feng was suddenly shaken by Ling Chuan's shaky seven meat and eight vegetables, and quickly said.
"Hehe, I'm sorry, I'm excited, I'm excited!" Ling Chuan blushed and explained with a little self-reproach.
"Alas", Ling Feng looked at Ling Chuan, who was like a child, and shook his head with a wry smile.
