Chapter 43: The Dust Settles
Geng Ding continued: "Actually, since Shaoyi, who landed less than seven days ago, came to Dayan River, Senior Brother and I have been paying attention to this baby uninterruptedly. Four months earlier, the Council of Elders had deliberately banished the baby to the mountains, in order to see if he was a piece of waste.
"Hehe, he really survived the ninety-nine eighty-one days, and finally didn't disappoint me and my senior brother. The four elders all knew that this year's Sword Ceremony was the last one in Master's prophecy. Whether Shao Kang Jian can meet its true master, this is the last chance. ”
Nan Shang interjected: "Since this matter has already been decided, and it will really be recommended if you talk about it a little bit, then invite everyone to come here tonight, what are we doing? Could it be a formality?!"
Geng Ding explained: "The junior brother doesn't know, this child is born with some defects, and according to the ancestral teachings of Dayanhe, he does not teach outsiders exercises, he has not even participated in a group hunt in the past five years, nor has he learned from a teacher. Shaoyi is not as powerful as Leng Wa, not as good at adapting as Nanyan, and not as knowledgeable as Baili Xi. I discussed it with Senior Brother, but I still didn't feel comfortable leaving him to take on the role of the main sword. Therefore, I would like to invite you to discuss. ”
Elder Mu Xiaohe, who had not spoken for a long time, suddenly stood up and said: "Didn't the senior brother just now make the female baby the deputy sword? ! Guys, is that okay?"
"Don't forget, Shaoyi is still a piece of waste wood after all, although he got silver fir wood, he couldn't open his mind. It's not easy to make him master the sword......" Second Elder Tan said thoughtfully with a solemn look in his eyes.
"Then, what is the decision on this matter? According to what you said, the clan's own children have no chance to go to the Sword Pavilion to get the Shaokang Sword, and you have seen the big outsider Shaoyi since you were a child, and it is obviously a piece of waste firewood, is it possible to let these four children participate in the sword drying together?" Nan Shang complained with a bucket, and thought in pieces.
"I invited you to me today just to discuss with you how to solve this problem in front of you. Geng Ding said.
Nan Shang glanced at the deer head on the wall, yes, for the sake of the tens of thousands of years of foundation in Dayanhe Village, how could he easily give up the main and auxiliary swords to these two foreign babies, he must fight to the end based on reason.
Nan Shang showed the ranking of the previous ancestor hunting, and the three babies of Leng Wa, Nan Yan, and Baili Xi were in the top three, and they left the other babies far behind the list with dazzling hunting records.
Leng Ke knew that Nan Shang would not be reconciled, and would always use all kinds of moths. He decided to improve his aura at this time, so he let out a long breath.
For a time, there were doubts, dissatisfactions, and disputes in the room...... and the smell with a negative luster was swept away.
This breath not only swept away all impurities in the room, but also extended to the side of the fire, instantly brightening the flames in the fire.
Everyone's mood seems to be much brighter.
When Geng Ding saw this scene, he seemed to think of something. Leng Ke saw that he had some ideas, but he didn't speak for a long time, so he asked Geng Ding, "What did you think of?" ”
"Just now, the senior brother made the flame become more prosperous in one breath, and if so, I couldn't help but think: The light that appears on weekdays is bright and dark, which obviously shows that he is a waste of wood, but I don't know if it can still be stimulated by external forces, such as your breath, to see if he can produce different internal manifestations in the face of external situations. ”
Geng Ding's words made Leng Ke fall into a long contemplation, except for the occasional writhing sound of the flames, the atmosphere in the room was extremely quiet.
Leng Ke turned around and said to Gugu, "Girl, come and give me the silver fir wood." ”
He held the silver fir wood in his hand, and aimed at the big stone slab that Shaoyi sat on his stomach and watched the starfall on weekdays, and he struggled to knock it.
The slate cracked instantly, making a "crackling-" booming sound, and the resulting air waves rushed out of the courtyard and rushed straight to the stream......
The air wave continued to rush towards the head of the village, and it was not until the trunk of the big cedar tree was destroyed by the air wave that it fell in the direction of Daxi Mountain outside the village, and the air wave subsided slightly.
Then, the trunk of the large cedar tree was smashed into a resilient rebound, and the branch struck back in the direction of the village, sending the sleeping Shaoyi on the branch violently and into the courtyard of the village chief.
Shaoyi was suddenly pierced by a strong light in his sleep, and the moment he woke up, he only felt the mountains shake, and the sky was turned in front of him, and in the distance, there was a huge piercing sound piercing his eardrums......
Before he could understand, Shaoyi had already been ejected into the village chief's courtyard, and it was really a heavy butt pier, and he landed ignorantly, and his tailbone seemed to be cracked......
Shaoyi strangely found that this wave of qi had also entered his body. The qi wave drove the blood around the body to circulate wildly, the blood vessels spurted, and the whole body was rapidly expanding outward and expanding......
Although the meridians are very thin, very narrow, and very weak, for the first time in my life, the meridians are connected!
In the meridians of Shaoyi, the qi and blood are running like crazy, and the two qi and blood, one cold and one hot, can no longer take care of the fight, and merge into one, becoming new nutrition, and happily traveling around the body along the meridians of Shaoyi, transporting the source force......
He lay on the ground and looked up to see a strange old man with flowing white hair, holding a silver fir tree in his hand.
This old man was very similar to the Shanba Gong he imagined, and Shaoyi couldn't help but get up, and said with a hippie smile: "Shanba Gong is you! Why are you here? ”
Seeing the old man's serious face, Shao Yi looked around again, all of them looked grim, he thought to himself, could it be that he is still dreaming?
Everyone had already come to the courtyard looking for the sound, and saw Shaoyi and Leng Ke each holding a silver fir tree, one with a grim look and the other with an ignorant circle.
Gu Gu saw the human-shaped pit under Shaoyi being washed out by the qi wave, and called out distressedly: "Shaoyi-"
"Why am I here?" said one less scratching his head.
Leng Ke pointed to the big stone slab that was broken into four pieces on the side, and said to Shaoyi: "Baby, come, you can give it a try, and hit this stone with the silver fir wood in your hand to see." ”
Shaoyi glanced at Geng Ding and Goo, and the two of them nodded. It doesn't matter if you don't even dare to try, it will be a complete disappointment for Goo and the village chief.
One less frowned, and looked at the stone slab on the ground that had broken into four pieces. The slate that has been with him for many years must also be regarded as his "relative", and Shaoyi shook his head regretfully.
Seeing that he still didn't move, Goo couldn't help but stare at him, as if he wanted to scold him. Shaoyi had to give up his hesitation and hurry to implement the old man's instructions. Otherwise, Gugu really dared to scold him in front of everyone.
At this time, for some reason, the qi and blood that had just been connected became more and more full and powerful because of the ability to run around the body, and Shaoyi took a deep breath, and stomped the silver fir wood against the stones on the ground in the way he was used to on weekdays.
In front of him, a white lime rose from the ground.
The four pieces of rubble had been turned into powder under the stomp of the silver fir wood.
"Hahaha-", Leng Ke said to Geng Ding with a smile: "It's still the junior brother's suggestion that works, and this bastard boy has to rely on external forces to stimulate it." As he spoke, he threw the silver fir wood in his hand to Gugu, and without explaining it to everyone, he walked away.
"Grandpa, am I really missing out on the Sword Pavilion?" Leng Wa raised her head and asked the distant back.
After half a ring, a few words floated in the sky: "Boy, hit your mountain pig!"
Leng Wa was unconvinced, brandished the plate axe in her hand, slashed at Shaoyi, and shouted: "How about the competition?"
Shaoyi Quandang was still in a dream, and he didn't accept it when he saw Leng Wa attacking.
The axe is not emotional, wrapped in a cold wind arrived in advance, when the cold wind blew a long eyelash, 'stupid goose is one less' only then did it react.
The plate axe was close at hand, and Shaoyi knew that he couldn't dodge, and he thought that he had died like this—not under the flower, but under the axe.
The incompetent Shaoyi accepted the facts, closed his eyes and died.
"Whew-" Shaoyi who closed his eyes was illuminated by the light pattern of a silver fir wood, and the silver fir wood in Gugu's hand blocked Leng Wa's axe and saved Shaoyi.
"What do I say, this kid is a waste after all. Nanshang shouted.
Shaoyi opened his eyes and saw the village chief Geng Ding standing under the eaves with a disappointed face. He just woke up from his ignorance, and now the clouds and mountains are covered in fog, and he is not in a dream at all.
"Where was Shanba Gong just now?" asked Shaoyi dumbfounded, completely ignoring Leng Wa's nail-like gaze.
Gugu couldn't help but roll his eyes, walked up to him, and whispered in his ear: "What Shanba Gong! That's Leng Wa's grandfather......
Leng Ke's departure no longer aroused the objections of the elders, and everyone accepted this fact: undoubtedly, the final resolution of the Council of Elders determined the candidates for this year's sword ceremony, and only one less person in the courtyard did not know where to go, and the other people, including Leng Wa, all knew that the main sword had been set to be less one.
Under the eaves, the disappointed expression on Geng Ding's face was also mixed with a little joy. I am glad that Shaoyi has been stimulated by his potential, and I am disappointed that I will not fight back.
Nan Yan behind him was obviously shocked by Shaoyi's action just now, the dust on his clothes was still there, the stone slabs were shattered, and there was a trace of horror in his eyes that could not be concealed.
The other two, Elder Tan Er still looks elegant and unfazed. Because all this happened too quickly, Elder Mu Xiaohe looked at the gradually brightening sky in a daze, and was still alone to figure out the truth of this matter.
Geng Ding seemed a little embarrassed about the result of announcing Shaoyi and Gugu as the main and secondary swords, and what he didn't expect was that Nanshang, who usually had a small belly and chicken intestines, walked in front of him at this time and said generously: "It's really unpredictable! However, I still want to congratulate Senior Brother, the Shaoyi and Gugu you have cultivated are all good." I'm in the middle of nowhere—"
"Yan'er, let's go!" Nan Shang whispered to Shaoyi when he walked past the waste wood Shaoyi, "Boy, let's see you on the fourth day of the first month of next month." ”
