〇02. Bitterness comes sweetly

In the early morning of the next day, a huge fireball was rising in the eastern sky in the distance, revealing a lovely bright red round huge face, intentionally or unintentionally impregnated the original blue sky, and the sky was gradually dyed into a seductive red, like the red face of a shy little girl, which was endearing.

With a creak, I gently pushed open the door, and immediately a fresh and pleasant air hit my face, which made people feel refreshed. After Qi Yi took a few deep breaths in the fresh and pleasant air, he was swept away from the tiredness caused by the all-night cultivation last night.

After enjoying himself, Qi Yi slowly raised his head and looked into the distance, and what caught his eyes was a sunny and cloudless sunny scene. A beautiful sight is always a joy for the body and mind. Looking at the clear scenery in front of him and breathing in the fresh and pleasant air, the depressed mood in his heart caused by the failure of the two spiritual awakenings also improved.

After having breakfast in the dining hall, Qi Yi hurried to Yanwu Square. Since the location of the dining hall is close to Yanwu Square, he came to Yanwu Square after a while.

Having said that, it is necessary to introduce Yanwu Square. Yanwu Square is a very wide open land, located in the central area of Qijiabao, it covers an area of about 2,000 square meters, and the surface is all paved with spirit bricks. The spirit brick is mined and processed from the spirit stone, and it has a wonderful use, that is, it can be used to absorb the spiritual energy between heaven and earth, but it itself absorbs the spiritual energy slowly. Although the speed at which it absorbs spiritual energy is extremely slow, due to the large number of spiritual bricks on the Yanwu Square, the amount of spiritual energy they absorb in a day is enough for the monks in Qijiabao who have not yet become spiritual attractors to use it for several days. In this way, it can be regarded as making up for this shortcoming.

It is precisely because the spirit brick has such a wonderful use that it is extremely expensive, and it is not something that ordinary people can buy and use. I think that when Qijiabao built this Yanwu Square, it was not built at one time, but it has been built until today to have such a scale. Because the Qi family has paid for it for several generations, it also makes its status in the eyes of the Qi family more important. It is precisely because of its importance in the minds of the Qi family that whenever there is a large-scale gathering in the clan, it will definitely be held here. And the spirit awakening ceremony that is held every year is even more so, which has become a routine that cannot be shaken by thunder in Qijiabao.

I don't know how many times I've been here in this martial arts square. Ever since he started cultivating when he was a child, he has been doing it here. But he's only been here twice since he failed to lead the first awakening two years ago. One was last year, and the other was today. It's not that he doesn't want to come or can't come, it's just that he can't face the fingers of his peers, which is why it's like this.

As soon as he came to Yanwu Square, Qi Yi first found a relatively remote seat and sat down. Because of the failure of two consecutive spiritual awakenings, he was looked down upon by many people in the family, and these people were unwilling to contact him on weekdays. Qi Yi understood that these people were deliberately staying away from and alienating him, and he didn't want to have any contact or contact with these guys who looked at people with colored glasses, so he found a relatively secluded place to sit down. Such a seat allows him to be quiet and not disturbed, so he is willing to find this kind of seat to sit.

At this moment, a boxy platform was built in the center of Yanwu Square, obviously for the clansmen who were about to receive the awakening of the spirits. There is a row of stairs around each of the high platforms, apparently for climbing. Looking from the high platform into the distance, there is also a row of stairs at the edges around the Yanwu Hanging Square, and a row of cushions is placed on the table of each step, which is obviously prepared for everyone who came to watch the awakening ceremony of the spirit and participate in the awakening ceremony.

After a long and anxious wait, the spirit awakening ceremony in the family finally began. When the family's spiritual awakening ceremony officially began, it was followed by a long talk from the elders of the family. The elders first gave a general account of the history of the Qi family, then thanked the important people who came to watch the spiritual awakening ceremony, introduced the relevant matters of the spiritual awakening ceremony, and then introduced the relevant matters of the spiritual awakening ceremony. These contents were spoken for most of the hour, making many of the tribesmen sitting around the high platform dizzy and drowsy.

When the elders had finished chatting at length, a burly man about forty years old stepped onto the platform. I saw that the man first bowed to the patriarch and elders sitting on the high platform to show his respect, and then said loudly to the clansmen under the high platform: "Next, the patriarch will carry out the spiritual awakening for the clansmen who need to carry out the spiritual awakening?????? The first to perform the Spiritual Awakening was Qi Wei. As soon as the man's words fell, a tall man strode towards the high platform.

Every year, it is the patriarch of the family who conducts the awakening of the spirits for the children of the family who should receive the awakening of the spirits. Of course, this year will not be an exception, and it is still his people who are awakening.

Qi Wei, who came to the high platform, bowed deeply to the patriarch. Seeing this, Qi Tian smiled slightly and said, "Are you ready?"

"Yes, Patriarch, I'm ready. Qi Wei said.

"If you're ready, let's get started. Qi Tian said.

"There's Patriarch Lao!" Qi Wei nodded and said.

As soon as his words were finished, Qi Tian made a decisive move. Qi Wei clearly felt that a huge gravitational force was entering his body. After this huge gravitational force entered his body, it began to move rapidly along the seven meridians and eight veins in his body. He clearly felt that the huge gravitational force in his body was so wonderful for the seven meridians and eight veins to move quickly, but this beauty was short-lived. So much so that before he could enjoy it carefully, after a while, the huge gravitational power disappeared.

Qi Tian said in a loud voice: "Qi Wei, the awakening of the spirit has been successful." ”

Qi Wei said very respectfully again: "Thank you, Patriarch!"

Qi Tian smiled and said, "Okay, you go down first!"

Qi Wei bowed deeply, and then went down towards the high platform. When Qi Wei left, the man continued, "Next, Qi Ming." ”

After the Qi family elder finished speaking, he saw a man with clear eyebrows walking briskly in the direction of the high platform. A moment later, he was on the high platform.

Qi Tian asked Qi Ming opposite him, "Well, are you ready?"

Qi Ming said respectfully to Qi Tian, "Well, yes, I'm ready, Patriarch. ”

Qi Tian said: "Well, then let's start!"

Qi Ming nodded in agreement and said, "Well, okay." ”

It was also a huge gravitational force that entered his body, but the result was very different.

Qi Tian said expressionlessly: "Qi Ming, the awakening of the spirit has failed. ”

Qi Ming said respectfully to Qi Tian again: "Hmm?????? Thank you, Patriarch!"

Qi Tian said in a deep voice: "Come back next year." ”

Qi Ming nodded numbly and said, "Okay." The sturdy man said aloud to the bottom of the high platform: "Next, Qi Yi." ”

After a long and impatient wait, it was finally time for Qi Yi to perform the Spiritual Awakening Ritual. As soon as he heard this voice, Qi Yi immediately rushed to the high platform in a state of chicken blood, but when he walked up the stairs next to the high platform, his steps couldn't help but slow down for some reason, getting slower and slower, as if he could no longer afford to go to the next step. Fortunately, this process only lasted for a few breaths, so it did not attract the strange eyes of the people around the high platform.

After coming to the high platform, Qi Tian asked his grandson in front of him, "Yi'er, have you ever been ready?"

Qi Yi replied respectfully to his grandfather, "Well, yes. I'm ready, grandpa. ”

Qi Tian smiled and said, "Well, take it easy, you will definitely succeed this time." ”

Qi Yi nodded slightly and said, "Hmm." ”

It is still a huge gravitational force that enters his body, and it is still swimming quickly along the seven meridians and eight veins in his body, and it is still the wonderful feeling that makes every cell in his body have ** and cheer. He was already familiar with this kind of thing. Although he was very eager to know the results of this spiritual awakening, he could only wait patiently.

It was still after Qi Yi felt like he was waiting for a long time, and the familiar huge gravitational force disappeared. Having already experienced two spiritual awakenings, he knew very well what this meant. Now all he has to do is wait for his grandfather to announce the results.

Qi Tian was overjoyed and said: "Qi Yi, the awakening of the spirit has been successful." ”

When Qi Yi heard his grandfather say that he had successfully awakened his spirit, his mind suddenly became blank, and the whole person was standing in place. The previous ones caused by the failure of the spiritual awakening are gone, and all that remains is the word "worthwhile". That's right, those are the two words. They represent that Qi Yi's cultivation of forgetting sleep and food this year is worthwhile, and all the things that were caused by the failure of the spirit inducing awakening in the past suddenly disappeared in his mind.
