Chapter 11: The Hunt
In Lou Yun's hard cultivation, two months passed quickly, and tomorrow would be the day when the fifteen-year-old clan of the Lou family would set off hunting.
Today, after finishing the last military drill, Lou Yun fell on the bed exhausted, his body seemed to belong to him, and he couldn't move a single bit.
This hunt can be regarded as a rehearsal before the coming-of-age ceremony, Lou Yun has been practicing the mental skills taught to him by Changxiang in the past two months, and his hard work has paid off, and finally, he was able to fully display this set of martial arts.
In the past two months, in order to allow Lou Yun to become proficient in military skills as soon as possible, Changxiang is no longer as lazy as before, but has taken the initiative to show up and fight with Lou Yun many times, in short, the final result makes Changxiang very satisfied.
After Lou Yun fell into a deep sleep, the door of his room suddenly opened silently, and there were two people standing at the door.
"Big brother, Yun'er is cultivating mortal soldiers in the back mountains day and night every day, I think he is tired, do you want me to call him up."
"No need, let him have a good rest!"
If Lou Yun could hear this voice at this time, he would definitely jump up immediately, because it was his father Lou Tianming who spoke!
Lou Tianming finally woke up today after four months of coma, and his situation was as everyone expected, because the spirit soldier was severely injured, and his whole body cultivation was almost lost, so it stands to reason that he is not suitable for getting out of bed and walking, but he is really worried about his son, so with the support of his second brother Lou Tianzhi, he quietly came over to see Lou Yun.
Walking into the house, Lou Tianming relaxed his movements as much as possible, picked up the quilt on the bed, and gently covered Lou Yun's body, and at this time Lou Yun was still holding the sword in the stone.
Lou Tianming stretched out his hand to take the sword in the stone away, but he didn't mention it when he held it, which couldn't help but make him slightly stunned, and he used his hands hard to lift the sword in the stone, and then the moonlight outside, after looking carefully, put it on the ground with a surprised face, and then sat on the edge of the bed, looking at the sleeping Lou Yun, his eyes were full of love and pity.
Lou Yun muttered: "Dad, I will repair your spirit soldiers, soon, soon, soon ......"
This sentence warmed Lou Tianming's heart, his eyes were slightly moist, he gently stroked Lou Yun's head, stood up after a while, and walked out quietly.
It wasn't until after walking away that Lou Tianming asked, "Second brother, have you seen Yun'er's sword?" ”
"I've seen it, Yun'er said that it was called the Sword in the Stone, Xu Yangteng gave it to him, and it is said that there is no grade and no rank, it is not a mortal thing, but it is surprisingly heavy, and it is probably very difficult for ordinary people to mention it, Yun'er can actually use it as his own mortal soldier to cultivate, big brother, I don't think you need to worry about Yun'er anymore, even if he can't condense the spirit soldiers, relying on ordinary soldiers, he should be able to become a strong man."
Lou Tianming nodded, sighed and said: "Yun'er's mother left early, and I, a father, have no ability, so I can't help him in cultivation at all, alas, he can only rely on himself, and he suffers!" ”
"Second brother, now that you are the patriarch, I know that I shouldn't make this request, but as a brother, I hope that in tomorrow's hunt, you can send a master to protect Yun'er, and it is best not to let him be harmed."
Lou Tianming used to be the patriarch, so he naturally knew that as the patriarch, he couldn't cheat for personal gain, but for the sake of his son, he couldn't take care of it so much.
Lou Tianzhi smiled slightly, stretched out his hand and patted his eldest brother's shoulder and said: "Big brother, Yun'er is my nephew, how can I let him be harmed, besides, I am also instructed by you to be the patriarch, otherwise I will not be too lazy to take care of so many trivial matters, and after your spirit soldier is healed, the position of the patriarch will still be held by you." ”
Speaking of this, Lou Tianzhi suddenly lowered his voice: "However, eldest brother, your guess is right, the three elders and their family are indeed ......."
Lou Tianming waved his hand to stop him from continuing: "I'll talk about this later, you go get busy, I'll accompany Yun'er." ”
……
Early the next morning, Lou Yun opened his sleepy eyes, raised his head, and looked around in confusion, suddenly, his two eyes suddenly opened to the boss, and he was stunned for half a minute before he woke up, and the whole person was like a little leopard, he jumped out of bed directly, and pounced on Lou Tianming, who was sitting on the chair and looking at him with a smile: "Dad!" ”
Lou Tianming hugged Lou Yun in his arms, and Lou Yun hugged his father tightly, for fear that he was dreaming, and refused to let go for a long time.
After a long time, Lou Tianming, as usual, gently touched Lou Yun's head with his hand and said, "Okay, Yun'er, it's not too early, you still have to go hunting today." ”
Lou Yun took a deep breath, held back his tears, let go of his hand, and looked his father up and down carefully for a while before saying, "Dad, don't worry, I ......"
Lou Tianming interrupted Lou Yun's words with a smile and said, "I know, Yun'er, I know, I'm waiting for you to repair the spirit soldiers for me." ”
"Yes!" Lou Yun nodded vigorously, and gave his father and himself a promise.
Lou Tianming's sudden awakening, for Lou Yun, was tantamount to giving him the greatest motivation and spiritual support, making him full of confidence in this hunt.
At this time, a crisp voice suddenly came from outside: "The sun is drying your buttocks, it's time to get up." ”
Lou Yun smiled slightly, and said loudly: "Got it, sister, I'll come soon!" ”
Naturally, it was Lou Tianzhi's daughter Lou Qian.
After Lou Yun simply freshened up, changed a set of clothes, and inserted the sword in the stone on his back, in order to use the sword conveniently, he deliberately made a black backpack scabbard, which was specially used to put the sword in the stone.
After making all the preparations, he said, "Dad, let's go!" ”
"Good!"
Lou Tianming stood up and wanted to hold Lou Yun's hand as he had done in the past, but as soon as his hand was stretched out, he found that in the four months that he had been in a coma, Lou Yun's size was about to catch up with him, and the originally thin body was now under the backdrop of the tights, and the muscles showed explosive streamlined lines.
Slightly stunned, Lou Yun had already turned around and pushed open the door, walked out, looking at his son's back, Lou Tianming's face showed a relieved smile, it seems that his son has really grown up!
Lou Qian already knew about Lou Tianming's awakening, and after saluting Lou Tianming with a smile, she stretched out her finger and wanted to poke Lou Yun's forehead like before, but she also found that the current Lou Yun was half a head taller than herself, and she couldn't help but be stunned.
However, she quickly came back to her senses, and still gently poked Lou Yun's forehead with her finger and said, "Boy, if I don't call you, you will definitely be late, remember, you owe me another favor!" ”
From childhood to adulthood, Lou Qian didn't know how much he owed Lou Yun to him with this kind of small favor, and Lou Yun naturally didn't mind at all, and said with a smile: "Got it." ”
"Alright, let's go, don't be really late in a while!"
The three of them walked side by side to the gate of Lou's house, Lou Yun squinted his eyes and looked at the rising sun in the sky, and suddenly felt extremely happy in his heart, today, it is time to verify the results of his four months of penance.
Outside the gate, the Lou family who went to participate in the hunt has arrived, and this time, including Lou Yun, there are a total of six teenagers, in addition to Lou Yun is the descendant of the main branch, there is also Lou Tianlei's youngest son, that is, Lou Fei's younger brother Lou Chong, as for the other four people, they are all descendants of the side branch.
Lou Runshui's family was standing at the door, and when they saw Lou Tianming who came out with Lou Yun, their faces invariably showed surprise, but after coming back to their senses, a sneer flashed on the faces of Lou Runshui's grandfather and grandson at the same time, and Lou Tianlei came up with a smile and said: "Big brother, I just heard that the second brother said that you have woken up and want to visit you!" ”
Looking at the smirk on Lou Tianlei's face, Lou Tianming said disapprerovitically: "Third Brother Lao is worried, I will get up and go to see Yun'er." ”
Lou Tianlei looked at Lou Yun again and said, "Yun'er, I heard that you have been cultivating hard during this time, how about it, your strength has improved a lot." ”
Lou Yun said politely: "The third uncle praised me, I can't condense spiritual soldiers, but I have cultivated mortal soldiers, and I can't compare with Lou Chong's younger brother." ”
As soon as they heard that Lou Yun still hadn't been able to condense the spirit soldiers, everyone's faces couldn't help but show a sneer again, but in front of Lou Tianming, they naturally didn't dare to be too presumptuous.
After a few more polite words to each other, under the leadership of Lou Tianzhi, they walked towards the outside of Linjiang City.
Demon beasts have their own living areas, which are generally far away from humans, and the stronger the demon beasts, the more inaccessible they are.
However, there is a Tianliang Mountain outside Linjiang City, and there is a Tianliang Forest under the mountain, although the area is not too large, but the trees cover the sky and the sun, and there is no road in the forest, and it is inaccessible, and over time it is occupied by some low-level demon beasts, and it has become their habitat.
Although the three major families all knew about this, because the strength of the demon beasts living in the Tianliang Forest was not strong, they did not take action to expel it, and even simply divided this place into three areas, each occupying one side, as a place for the younger generation of their respective families to practice actual combat.
Hunting is to enter the Tianliang Forest area owned by the Lou family to hunt the demon beasts in it.
The group came to the outside of the Tianliang Forest, Lou Yun smelled a smell of blood from a distance, and at the same time, a gust of yin wind came, and the sun in the forest was scarce, the ghost atmosphere was gloomy, and the timid people would have a terrifying feeling just standing at the edge of the forest.
Lou Tianlei walked up to Lou Tianzhi and asked in a low voice, "Second brother, have you checked?" ”
Although the Tianliang Forest is full of low-level demon beasts, but there are also a few powerful ones, in order to prevent accidents, the Lou family will send people into the forest to check carefully before hunting every time, if they find that the strength is too strong, either kill, or rush to the area of the other two clans, so as to ensure the safety of the descendants of the Lou family.
Lou Tianzhi nodded and said: "Don't worry, it has been checked, there is no problem, and there are still people secretly protecting it, the third brother does not have to worry." ”
After finishing speaking, Lou Tianzhi turned around and said to the six teenagers: "I think you all know the purpose and significance of this hunt, this is a rehearsal of the dressing ceremony that you will participate in half a year later, and it is of great significance to your future future, as for the rules, it is very simple, it is to enter the forest and obtain a piece of beast soul, even if you complete the hunt, if you think it is not good, look at the fluorescent stone in your hand, as a gift, someone will take you out, the time is one day, within one day, regardless of whether you get the beast soul or not, All have to leave the forest, okay, are there any more questions? ”
"Nope!"
"Okay, then be careful, I hope you can all get good results, start preparing now."
The so-called preparation is to let the parents of each teenager tell them to explain some precautions to increase the success of the hunt.
Lou Tianming patted Lou Yun's shoulder and said, "Yun'er, do your best, don't force it!" ”
"Got it, Dad!" Lou Yun smiled brightly at Lou Tianming.
……
"The hunt begins!"
With Lou Tianzhi's order, the six teenagers rushed into the Tianliang Forest from six directions, and Lou Fei, Lou Qian and other six people who were secretly responsible for protecting their safety also followed closely behind.
