Chapter 4 Hongwen
A round of the sun hung in the clear blue sky, with the occasional bird streaking by.
Under a big tree at the head of the village, a group of more than a dozen children sat on the ground, facing an old man. The old man was tall and thin, dressed in plain animal skin clothes, on a cane of dead wood, with gray hair, an ordinary appearance, and a pair of ears on either side of his head that could be the size of a fan, fluttering twice from time to time. This is Old Man Aoki.
And the dozen or so children sitting in front of him are a group of smaller children in the tribe, Xiao Feng'er, Xiao Pang and Xiao Lan are all inside.
"Hongwen is a symbol, also called runes, which is the embodiment of the avenue and a form of law" Old man Aoki is teaching children the knowledge of Hongwen.
According to the old man Aoki, there are endless rainbows, some say there are thousands, some people say there are 100,000 million, and some people say that there is only one rainbow. No one knows how many there are.
Hongwen is the foundation of the law of the avenue, just like a brick and tile, when combined, you can build all kinds of buildings. And the laws of heaven can be reflected through different combinations of rainbow texts.
Hongwen is not the way of heaven, it is just a medium between the laws of heaven and the living beings. The living beings control the laws of the Heavenly Dao through the rainbow text, and accept the power of the laws for their own use.
Hongwen is divided into nine types according to their attributes: metal, wood, water, fire, earth, light, thunder, yin, and yang. The rainbow with different attributes will show different colors when manifested, in order: gold-gold, wood-green, water-blue, fire-red, earth-yellow, light-red, thunder-purple, yin-black, yang-white.
"The colorful glow caused by the breeze last night is composed of these colors, which is the embodiment of Hongwen. It is because they are colorful, like a rainbow, that they are called 'Hongwen'. Old man Aoki said.
"Grandpa, patriarch, I didn't see the black rainbow last night!" Xiao Feng'er blinked her eyes and asked suspiciously.
Hearing this, the old man Aoki suddenly remembered that Xiao Feng'er always regarded black as red, and he suddenly felt a little worried in his heart, this will not affect Xiao Feng'er's future cultivation, right?
Xiao Feng'er seemed to think of this, scratched her little head, and said, "Bah! I see black as red again!"
"It's okay, grandpa will find a way to help you heal your eyes as soon as possible!" Old man Aoki saw Xiao Feng'er's innocent appearance, and he was not sad because of the defect in his eyes, so he put his mind at ease. Xindao can only find a way to find a way to treat Xiao Feng'er's eyes as soon as possible.
......
This lecture was half a day, and the old man Aoki told the children all the basic knowledge of Hongwen. Then he taught them the method of Hongwen Forging Body, so that they could memorize it, and after they awakened, they could carry out Hongwen Forging Body.
After going back, the old man Aoki called Xiao Feng'er over.
"Xiao Feng'er, do you want to become stronger?" asked the old man Aoki solemnly.
"Think!" Xiao Feng'er only had one word.
"Why?" asked Aoki.
"For the sake of the tribe!" Xiao Feng'er said seriously.
"Good boy!" Aoki smiled with relief.
"And in order to find father and mother" Xiao Feng'er lowered her head, her voice became very small, and her hands kept kneading the corners of her clothes.
"Alas~" Old man Aoki sighed, looking at Xiao Feng'er's appearance full of pity.
"Son, when you are strong enough to stand on your own, I will tell you about your parents. Old man Aoki touched Xiao Feng'er's head and said.
"Well, Xiao Feng'er knows!" Xiao Feng'er pursed her lips and nodded heavily, but there was a little sparkle in his eyes.
The little friends in the tribe have parents, but Xiao Feng'er doesn't know where her parents are. He had also asked the patriarch in tears, but Aoki only said that his parents were far away, and he could only go to them when he was strong.
Since then, Xiao Feng'er has never cried again. Although he plays with his friends every day, pulling Xiaohong around and running around, he looks so innocent. But Old Man Aoki knew that it was just a look. Because when he told Xiao Feng'er that he could only find his parents if he was strong, he clearly saw the firmness in Xiao Feng'er's eyes, which was not the emotion that a two-year-old child should have.
"Well, good boy, from now on, you will have to do Hongwen exercises every night and high-intensity exercises during the day. How to arrange it, you should think about it yourself, and remember, don't hurt yourself. "Old man Aoki gave Xiao Feng'er some suggestions for cultivation.
The Awakening Realm is the refining of the body, and the old man Aoki doesn't know how to cultivate the Heavenly Awakening Body. He could only point out one direction and let Xiao Feng'er slowly explore it by herself.
From then on, Xiaohong was relieved, because for Xiaofeng'er, it was no longer challenging. But the stone drum in the tribe suffered, it was a decoration next to the altar, made of white iron rock, three zhang high, weighing 10,000 catties. It is engraved with patterns of ancient ancestors, flowers, birds, insects, fish, sun, moon and stars.
Although the tribe attaches great importance to sacrifice, there are many of this kind of stone drum tribe, and the production is also simple, even if it is broken by Xiaofeng'er, ten or eight are nothing. Besides, the patriarch himself said that he would not be left alone, so no one stopped him.
At first, Xiao Feng'er just pushed the stone drum and ran, and the chickens and dogs jumped everywhere he passed. Later, he simply carried it and ran, which shocked the elves in the tribe. The elves are not good at physical strength, so they have never seen such a child with a physical body, and they have never even heard of it.
Moving like a rabbit, quiet like a virgin.
The breeze at night is much quieter. There was only a small figure in the hut, Xiao Feng'er sat cross-legged on the bed, her eyelids drooping, her hands were sealed, and she ran the Hongwen Forging Body Method, attracting the laws of heaven and earth to baptize the body.
In front of him was the tattered animal skin given to him by the patriarch Aoki. At this time, the animal skin was shining, but it was not as bright as last time, only the stars were slowly overflowing.
The skin of his body became crystal clear and glowed, and a little bit of turbidity spilled out of his pores. This is the elimination of impurities in the body, which is the result of Hongwen forging body. It's just that the process is very slow and the effect is not very significant.
......
Three months later, a quiet afternoon.
The sky was already starting to glow red, and the elves of the Aoki tribe were still doing what they usually did. Children frolicked, women gathered away dried grains and meat to dry, and the hunting procession returned
Everything is so well organized.
It's just that Xiaohong is running for her life.
"Whew~" Xiaohong grinned and screamed, and everywhere she passed, chickens flew and dogs jumped.
Behind him is a stone drum, three feet high, the surface is engraved with ancient ancestors, flowers, birds, insects and fish, sun, moon and stars and other patterns. It's just already a bit vague.
It's funny, a big rock is chasing an ancient demon wolf.
However, if you look closely, you can find that there is a small figure under the hill-like stone drum, and it is this figure who is running after Xiaohong with this huge stone drum. Who is it if it's not Xiaofeng'er?
"Look at it, Xiao Feng'er is bullying Xiao Hong again!"
"Oh oh~ Xiaohong run quickly, the wind is coming~"
"Come on, little wind!oh~Come on, little wind!!"
......
A group of kids are heckling. Some cheered for Xiaohong, and some cheered for Xiaofenger. The adults laughed and had a great time watching the children play.
"Woo ~ Woo ~ " Where is this race, this is clearly a chase. Little Red howled inwardly.
The 10,000-pound stone drum put a lot of pressure on it, and if it fell on it, it would have to be smashed into a meat patty. Although it is an adult primeval demon wolf, it is not a pure-blooded descendant, not as rebellious as Xiao Feng'er, or in other words, few descendants of the primeval race can be as rebellious as Xiao Feng'er, even if it is a pure-blood. It is estimated that only the cubs of the legendary Heavenly Rank Divine Beast can be compared to it.
"Xiao Feng'er, come here!" Old man Aoki called out as he stood under the big tree at the head of the village, looking at Xiao Feng'er.
Xiaofeng blinked his eyes, and threw the 10,000-pound stone drum on the ground with a "boom", shaking the sky full of smoke and dust.
Then he ran to the old man Aoki, his little face slightly red.
"Bah, Grandpa Patriarch, have you eaten?" asked Xiao Feng'er gasped.
"Snacks, you know how to eat!" said the old man Aoki with a smile.
"Goo~" Xiao Feng'er touched her little belly, a little aggrieved.
"Hehehe, okay, grandpa will roast you to eat later!" Old man Aoki said helplessly, and then continued: "But before that, you have to let grandpa see your cultivation results." ”
"Bah, Grandpa Patriarch, wait a minute. Hearing that there was a reckless beef leg to eat, Xiao Feng'er suddenly became motivated, and ran to the tribe again.
After a while, only to hear the loud sound of "boom", Xiao Feng'er ran out with a stone drum again, and on the way, he also pulled the stone drum that was thrown on the side of the road just now.
Coming to the old man Aoki, Xiao Feng'er lifted a stone drum, and then threw it hard to throw it on top of another stone drum. The two stone drums are stacked on top of each other, like a small mountain, weighing 20,000 catties.
At this time, there were already many elven people around, especially the children, who were extremely excited.
Old man Aoki just looked at it with a smile, and didn't ask Xiao Feng'er what he was going to do.
I saw Xiao Feng'er clasping the lines on the stone drum with both hands, and his palms were glowing, which was running Hongwen, using the power of Hongwen to absorb the stone drum, otherwise with Xiao Feng'er's small body, how could he catch the stone drum several feet high.
"Boom" that is the ground is trembling, Xiao Feng'er is lifting the two stone drums, the ground is under too much pressure, and it begins to crack and sink.
The stone drum broke away from the ground, and Xiao Feng'er's feet began to glow, using the power of Hongwen to drag his feet so that they would not sink.
Slowly, the stone drum was raised, above Xiao Feng'er's knees, and then to his chest.
"Hey!" Xiao Feng'er shouted, and with a fierce force of both hands, he raised the stone drum above his head in one fell swoop. His feet also sinked, bursting through the ground and covering his knees.
At this moment, there was silence all around, because the onlookers were speechless in shock, and their jaws fell to the ground. Only the old man Aoki was calm, but he also stood there with one hand clutching his beard.
"Shhh
"Boom" was dusty again, and Xiao Feng'er threw the stone drum on the ground. Then panting in front of the old man Aoki.
"Bah, Patriarch Grandpa, how is it, can you eat the beef leg?" Xiao Feng'er asked with a red face.
"Hahahaha, you can, of course you can! You can eat as much as you want!" Old man Aoki smiled very happily, he was very relieved, the elf tribe finally had a demon against the sky, although Xiao Feng'er was a human race, but for him, Xiao Feng'er was his own grandson.
"Feng'er, good Feng'er, you are the most talented child Grandpa has ever seen. You have just turned three years old, you have already exceeded 10,000 catties, and you can also use simple rainbow techniques, even the cubs of the primeval beasts are just like that, and you will definitely be able to crisscross the wilderness and look at the world in the future. Find your parents. Old man Aoki praised excitedly.
"Let's go, grandpa will roast your beef legs!" Old man Aoki calmed down, took Xiao Feng'er's little hand, and walked towards the courtyard.
