~By ^^ small!Say レ permanent URL, please keep in mind!
At the beginning of the day, the warm sun fell on the white earth, melting a piece of snow. ~By ^^ small!
The long-awaited New Year's Festival has finally arrived, and the entire Yejia Village is in a noisy and joyful atmosphere, and there is a lively scene everywhere.
On the huge square to the east of the village, there were already figures standing, and there were thousands of people in a large area of black pressure, obviously, the villagers of Yejia Village had arrived.
"The annual festival is the most lively time in Yejia Village. ”
Ye Tian sighed and squeezed into the square.
At this time, on the high platform not far away, several top powerhouses in the village, such as the village chief Ye Shi and the captain of the beast hunting team, Ye Feng, were standing here, all of them with solemn faces and shining eyes.
The high platform is huge, the whole body is black, it is cylindrical, it is three zhang high, like a pagoda towering, exuding a majestic momentum.
Ye Tian knew that this was the altar, although he could see it every year, but every time he saw it, he was very shocked.
The ancient altar, the same age as Yejia Village, I don't know how many years have passed, it is full of vicissitudes, it is like an old man, standing here, calmly watching the growth of Yejia Village.
......
Time passed slowly in the tumult, and everyone in the square began to find a seat to sit down, and everyone came with a bench.
Ye Tian didn't bring it, but someone helped him bring it.
"Ye Tian, come here, the New Year's Festival is about to start!" Ye Niu's voice came from the side, Ye Tian smiled slightly, walked over, and sat with Ye Niu.
The two kept their heads down and talked privately.
"Ye Tian, do you know? I heard that this year's New Year's Festival, the village chief is going to sacrifice a flying tiger!" Ye Niu said in a low voice, his face full of excitement, and his eyes were full of anticipation.
"Flying Tiger, do you mean that fierce beast that is a martial artist of the ninth level?" Ye Tian was shocked when he heard this, in the past, sacrifices were also sacrifices of powerful fierce beasts, but they were all fierce beasts below the seventh level of some martial artists.
Even so, it shocked these teenagers.
As for the fierce beast that had reached the ninth level of a martial artist, they had never seen it yet.
"Yes, I heard that the village chief personally went out to catch it, it is very powerful, I looked at my father from a distance, and I felt trembling, you will know later. Ye Niu said excitedly.
"Hmm!" Ye Tian nodded, looked at the altar, and looked forward to it even more.
Soon, the crowd leading to the altar dispersed, and several strong men came up carrying a huge cage and placed it on top of the tall altar.
"Is that the Flying Tiger in there?" Ye Tian's eyes were condensed, his face was full of goodness, and Ye Niu on the side had already widened his eyes, staring at the altar without blinking.
"It's a sacrificial beast!"
There was a whisper in the crowd.
"Silence!"
Ye Shi, the village head, Ye Feng, the captain of the beast hunting team, and others, one by one, the top powerhouses of Yejia Village slowly walked towards the high platform, and with Ye Feng's cold drink, the voices of discussion around them suddenly fell silent.
Under the protection of a group of top powerhouses in Yejia Village, the village chief Ye Shi ascended to the altar, and standing on the altar, his old figure looked a little tall.
Everyone looked at the village chief and listened to the village chief's lecture.
"My Yejia Village has been based here for 732 years, and I sacrifice to the sky every year, so every time there is a disaster, we can turn the danger into a disaster......"
Ye Shi's rich voice spread slowly, and the voice was loud and spread throughout the square.
Ye Tian listened a little impatiently below, this lecture is the same every year, it is like the lecture of those principals in the school in the previous life, endless, the most boring.
Ye Niu on the side was excited when he heard it, and his face was full of excitement.
......
"Today, I, Ye Shi, as the 10032nd generation village chief of Yejia Village, lead the villagers to sacrifice to heaven and earth, and wish my Yejia Village will prosper and be immortal!"
Finally, the village chief's lecture was finished.
A group of villagers stood up one after another, shouting loudly with Ye Shi.
"Worship the sky!"
Ye Shi's old face was very strict at this moment, and a pair of deep eyes flashed with a sharp essence. On the altar, the cage was opened, and a roar of rage came from inside, shocking the heart.
A hurricane roared, and a huge figure rushed out of the cage, spreading its wings and flying high into the sky.
Ye Tian was stunned all of a sudden, and looked at the sky with a shocked face, it was a yellow giant tiger with wings on its back, and between its wings, it flew into the sky.
"It's so strong, is this a fierce beast of the ninth level of a martial artist!" Ye Tian felt a huge coercion enveloping him, facing this Flying Tiger, he was not an opponent at all.
"It's the Flying Tiger!"
"Oh my God, a fierce beast of the ninth level of the martial artist!"
......
The villagers were also stunned, and those who didn't know seemed flustered.
However, in the next moment, an old figure rushed into the sky.
It's the village chief!
Ye Tian's eyes froze, a little incredible, the village chief jumped so high!
As soon as Ye Shi's legs landed on the altar, the whole person instantly flew into the air like a sharp arrow, he stared at the flying tiger running in front of him, and shouted: "The knife is coming!"
Below, Ye Feng, the captain of the beast hunting team, instantly burst out, pulled out the long knife behind his back, and threw it into the air.
Ye Shi immediately caught the long knife, his eyes were bright, and with a cold drink, his body suddenly rose a few heights again, and he actually appeared in the sky above the Flying Tiger.
"Roar!" The Flying Tiger saw Ye Shi coming with a knife, and his eyes were full of horror.
With this knife split, the body of the giant knife of the Flying Tiger fell fiercely on the altar, and the blood flowed down the altar, and the blood flowed down the altar to the earth.
"Long live the village chief!"
"Long live Yejia Village!"
The villagers immediately shouted, excited and excited, even Ye Tian was infected by this scene and was excited.
"I announce, the New Year's festival begins, serve wine and meat!" Ye Shi put down the blood-stained long knife and said slowly to the surrounding villagers, and suddenly a village woman held wine and meat and sent it up.
Ye Feng, the captain of the beast hunting team, stepped forward at this time and said coldly: "At the beginning of the New Year Martial Arts, all martial apprentices below the martial artist must participate. Above the martial arts, free to learn. Remember, don't hurt anyone until the point is reached. ”
Suddenly, one by one, the teenagers from Yejia Village walked out of the crowd and came to Ye Feng, forming a long line.
"Ye Tian, it's our turn. Ye Niu pulled Ye Tiandao.
"You go, I won't go. Ye Tian shook his head, he had already become a martial artist, so naturally he didn't need to participate in these children's gadgets.
"But Uncle Feng said that the martial disciples must participate!" Ye Niu said with a puzzled face.
"Don't worry, Uncle Feng won't blame me, and if I go up, who else will be my opponent?" Ye Tian said with a smile.
"That's right, although you don't have a martial soul, but among the martial artists, you are the strongest!" Ye Niu also smiled when he heard this, but then he seemed to remember something, and quickly covered his mouth, looked at Ye Tian nervously, and stammered: "Ye ...... Ye Tian, I... Knowing that he had said the wrong thing, he didn't awaken the martial spirit, and it was a big blow to Ye Tian.
"It's okay, you can go!" However, Ye Tian's reaction was very flat, patted Ye Niu's shoulder, and encouraged with a smile: "Good brother, come back with a good ranking." ”
"Hmm!" Seeing that Ye Tian was not angry, Ye Niu nodded hurriedly and ran to line up.
"New Year's Festival ......"
Looking at the teenagers who were queuing up in front of Ye Feng, Ye Tian whispered to himself: "I've been looking forward to it for a long time!"
It's just that the young people who are martial apprentices don't practice martial arts, they only know some fist and foot exercises, and they all fight with brute force, and soon they will be divided into winners and losers and determine their rankings.
Ye Niu is not bad, he has entered the top ten, and he is not bad among this generation of teenagers.
"With such qualifications, it's not a problem to enter the seventh level of a martial artist!" Ye Tian said secretly in his heart, happy for his friend.
"Hey, isn't this the first day of our Yejia Village? Why didn't you go up and try it? With your strength, it shouldn't be a problem to get the first place. ”
Just when Ye Tian was happy for Ye Niu, a sound suddenly came into his ears.
Ye Tian turned around and looked, not far away, Ye Wei walked over with three young people, and it was one of the young men who spoke, who was looking at Ye Tian with a mocking face.
"Ye Tian, as a martial apprentice, didn't you even go up to try it?, didn't you hear Uncle Feng's words?" Ye Wei said in a deep voice, but the banter in his eyes, how could he hide from Ye Tian, who was a man in two lives?
Ye Tian's face immediately sank, and he said in his heart: It's really a way to heaven that you don't go, and there is no door to hell for you to break into, it's just looking for death!
"Hey, isn't that Ye Tian and Ye Wei?"
"They seem to be arguing. ”
"Let's go over and have a look!"
......
Whether it is Ye Tian or Ye Wei, they are both young geniuses, and everyone in Yejia Village knows about them, and they immediately attracted many villagers to watch.
Ye Feng also saw the rioting crowd, walked over with a calm face, and said coldly: "What's the matter with you?
He has a high prestige, and when he speaks, the audience is silent.
"Uncle Feng!"
"Uncle Feng!"
Ye Wei hurriedly went up to salute, and Ye Tian also nodded.
"Are you guys again?" Ye Feng looked at Ye Wei with sharp eyes, and intuitively told him that he was this kid picking on thorns, after all, he knew Ye Tian's character very well.
"Uncle Feng, it's not me who provokes the trouble, you just said that martial apprentices have to go up to try it, and Ye Tian is also a martial artist, so he didn't go up. Ye Wei hurriedly said respectfully.
Feng's eyes flashed, this was indeed what he said, but he also knew Ye Tian's situation, if he couldn't awaken the martial soul, he couldn't become a martial artist, and it wouldn't be a big deal if he didn't try.
But what Ye Wei said was not wrong, the words did come out of his mouth, if he refuted Ye Wei, wouldn't it be a slap in the face?
Ye Feng glanced at Ye Wei coldly, knowing that this kid wanted to see Ye Tian's jokes, he couldn't help but shake his head in his heart, with such a bearing, even if he became a martial artist, he would not achieve much.
Feeling Ye Feng's sharp eyes, Ye Wei smiled and didn't dare to speak on the side. However, he expected that with so many people watching, Ye Feng would definitely not intercede with Ye Tian.
"Boy, I'll see what you do this time, hum!"
Looking at Ye Tian, who was calm, Ye Wei had a face.
