Chapter 1 Houding Village
Chapter 1 Houding Village
In the middle of summer afternoon, the weather is very hot, this is a very ordinary afternoon, but for the straight teenagers standing on the valley field of Houding Village, it is so unusual, because from now on, they will no longer be children, and they can hunt wild beasts like adults!
After lunch, people hurried to the grain field in the back mountain. I saw fifteen or sixteen teenagers in front of me sweating all over their faces, and I couldn't see the slightest hint of exhaustion in their expressions. One by one, they stared at the adults who arrived. And among these sixteen-year-old children, a small man named Ding Yang is very special.
Standing among the other children, he looked very thin and very short, and if everyone didn't know that he was sixteen, they would definitely not let him come to participate in the Chengren ceremony.
Today he was also very excited, how terrible were the beasts in the Yanxi Mountains that the adults said? He was full of curiosity about the outside world, which he had lived in for sixteen years and was still very unfamiliar with the earth. After reading in the books, Ding Village belongs to the management of Dongyang Town, which is just a small town in the Kingdom of Heavenly Fury. There are tens of thousands of small towns like Dongyang Town in the Heavenly Fury Country. There are also the Genharu Kingdom and the Beast Warring States. Legend has it that these countries are only a tiny fraction of the planet!
In the middle of the grain field, there are three old men over half a hundred years old smoking under the big tree with half-squinted eyes, they are the only three elders in this village, and the big and small things in the village are decided by the elders, and it is obvious that they are also presiding over today's Chengren ceremony.
Almost all the villagers arrived at the grain field, and the place became lively all of a sudden, all talking about whose children can be paired with whose girls, because after today, these Chengren's children will go to other villages on a blind date. Since then, he has become a real man!!
This is a place where wild animals are abundant, and it is very important to increase the population. There are as many as 50 people in the village who are the same age as Ding Yang to participate in the Chengren ceremony, but it would be good to survive more than 10 in another two years! Crazy beasts often eat people who go up the mountain to hunt, and after a year, Dingcun Chengren will die at least 30 people!!
Ding Yang's parents were not originally from Houding Village, Ding Yang's mother fled to Houding Village covered in blood, and died after giving birth to him, leaving him with only a bracelet engraved with the word "Yang".
The elder thought that Ding Yang's parents were also chased and killed by wild beasts before they died tragically, and adopted him, but they didn't know what his surname was, so they followed everyone's surname, with a single name and a yang character.
"Don't make any noise, the Chengren ceremony has begun, please !! holy water"
The holy water is taken from the clear water before the holy spring comes out in the morning, and it is strange to say that the climate of Houding Village is warm, but the water of the holy spring is extremely cold! I heard the elders say that this is the great power of the Houding ancestors to move a cold spring here, presumably to give a little inheritance to the children and grandchildren. From then on, the villagers will be baptized with the holy spring when they are sincere and benevolent, and after the baptism, everyone's body will become stronger.
The holy water was filled with a wooden scoop made of a thousand-year-old tree, and the villagers consciously surrounded Ding Yang and the others, and chanted the ancient incantation with a serious expression, and the three elders each took a scoop of holy water, and chanted the incantation in their mouths, and slowly walked to Ding Yang and them.
"A wash, wash away the sins of past lives. ”
"Two washes, wash away the ups and downs of this world. ”
"Three washes, wash to be happy and peaceful. ”
The elder gently pointed at the heads of Ding Yang and the others with holy water, when it was Ding Yang's turn, he only felt a chill from head to toe, and then his whole body was comfortable, and suddenly the urge to roar loudly was generated in his chest, and when the third elder walked in front of him and dripped the holy water to his head, Ding Yang couldn't bear it anymore, and a long howl rushed out of his body, and the other fifty people also howled accordingly, and the whistling sound became higher and higher in the chanting, as if it was going to be higher than the mountain behind.
Ding Yang only felt that he lost control of his body as soon as the howling sound came out of his own, and all the energy of his body was concentrated in his throat, until he almost exhausted the last trace of strength in his body, he stopped, and then collapsed to the ground.
The eyes of the elders are focused on Ding Yang's body at this moment, Ding Yang's howling sound is particularly high-pitched, like a sharp blade straight into the clouds, Ding Yang's body is extremely thin compared to the people in Hou Ding Village, but there is such a whistling sound, the elders looked at each other, there was surprise and a trace of hesitation in their eyes.
Just when Ding Yang and the others fainted, a fifteen or sixteen-year-old girl quickly pulled out a needle from Ding Yang's body, the girl's big eyes were full of cunning, perhaps everyone was attracted by this solemn scene, and did not notice the girl's actions.
Less than a moment later, Ding Yang and the others woke up immediately, Ding Yang only felt a pain all over his body, especially the sharp pain in the place where he was pricked by a needle, Ding Yang felt strange, just when he wanted to howl comfortably, he suddenly felt a stabbing pain in his back, and couldn't help but howl.
He moved his body and looked up to see that everyone was watching him. An elder walked out and said: "The person with the longest whistling sound is generally the person with the best physical strength, or the best spirit, Ding Yang has the longest whistling sound, and everyone knows the physical strength, which shows that the spirit is not comparable to ordinary people, and there has never been a person in our village who has a high-pitched howling voice like him for a long time." ”
"According to the rules of the village, Ding Yang could have practiced the "Hercules Decision", but he lacked strength, hey, it's a pity that there is no spiritual practice in the village, what do you say?" another elder slowly walked up to Ding Yang and sighed.
"Grandpa, Brother Ding Yang's strength is insufficient, and he has to practice "Hercules Decision", so that his strength can be greatened, and he will cultivate his spirit when he has a method of spiritual cultivation in the future. The girl spoke quickly, only to see her red lips move slightly, "Yes, second grandfather, fifth grandfather?" The girl's bright eyes looked at the three old men.
"Yes, it's better to let Ding Yang repair "Hercules Decision" first, if you can't do it, we will do our best" A big man like a mountain said in a muffled voice, the big man's name is Ding Taishan, and he is one of the ten candidates for the elders in Houding Village, and Houding Village is the best for Ding Yang with Ding Ru, the girl who talked in front of him.
"Do you have any opinions??"
"Although Ding Yang's talent is good, he is not from Houding Village after all, so it's not appropriate to repair "Hercules Decision", Ding Zeng, who participated in the Chengren Ceremony with Ding Yang, jumped to the front and said.
"Hercules Decision" was created by our Ding ancestor in ancient times, after all, the rumor is not appropriate, please think twice about it," Ding Taishui said slowly, he is also one of the candidates for !!!the next elder.
When everyone heard Ding Taishui's words, they turned their heads and ears, "Ding Yang, a foreigner, in case it ......is not good for our Houding Village after repairing the "Hercules Decision", "Ding Yang's strength is so small, and it is useless to cultivate it, this ancestor's exercises are not something that anyone can practice......" All kinds of opposition came one after another!
"Although Brother Ding Yang is not from Houding Village, he has grown up in Houding Village since he was a child, and his grandfather and uncles have watched him grow up, and he will marry a wife after Chengren Ceremony today, and he will not be from Houding Village after I marry him. When the girl said this, her face was flushed.
"Nonsense! Ru'er, you are a girl who said such shameless words, why don't you go back quickly!!" One of the elders was also Ding Ru's own grandfather, and said sharply.
"Second grandfather, fifth grandfather, grandpa bullied Ru'er again......" Ding Ru was extremely ashamed, but when she heard her grandfather say this, her eyes were suddenly filled with mist, and she was about to cry.
"Fourth, Ru'er is young, don't do anything more, you also said a little heavy! Okay, Ru'er doesn't cry, let's teach this old boy a good lesson, you better go back, lest he talk about you again!" The fifth grandfather touched Ding Ru's head and said with pity.
Ding Ru looked at Ding Yang secretly, Ding Yang also looked at her, and when she saw Ding Ru looking at him, Ding Yang squeezed out a smile: "Sister Ru, you better go back, it doesn't matter to me whether I repair "Hercules Decision" or not, anyway, I don't have enough strength." Ding Yang almost squeezed the last words out between his teeth.
"Then I'll go back, Brother Ding Yang, I believe you can come out on top!" Ding Ru said reluctantly. Then turn around and leave.
Ding Yang watched Ding Ru's beautiful back disappear, and a sense of powerlessness welled up in his heart, he once again felt that this world was unfair, if his parents were alive, how could he be helpless today!
Ding Yang has no father or mother since he was a child, so his surname is extremely inferior, and he doesn't talk much, maybe it is because of this that he can endure hardships more than others, and he can endure more. Since he was a child, Ding Zeng and other peers have bullied Ding Yang, plus Ding Yang has not been strong since he was a child, and he is not as tall and strong as his peers. Perhaps if he hadn't endured it for so many years, he would have escaped from the village and been devoured by wild beasts. You must know that most of the humans on this continent are food for wild beasts!!
In addition to helping adults farm every day, Ding Yang has a fixed number of hours of training every day, and Ding Yang works ten times and a hundred times harder than others every day! But even so, he is not as good as Ding Zeng and other people, and his first weather strength is insufficient! Usually the food is not very good, others usually eat meat, Ding Yang can eat more than ten times a year, it is not bad.
After Ding Ru left, Ding Yang's fingers almost broke his palm, and tears flashed in his eyes, "Elder, forget it, it's useless for me to learn." ”
"I don't want to hear anything about Ding Yang being from Houding Village in the future!!, he is also surnamed Ding!" The elder who advocated the adoption of Ding Yang said sharply, "It's just that "Hercules Decision" is originally a practice of strength, Ding Yang's strength is insufficient, and forced practice will only hurt the muscles and bones, but it's a pity that Ding Yang's potential is gone, if you find a way to practice spiritually......
The elder stopped when he said this, and looked at Ding Yang, "Okay, this is the end of the Chengren ceremony today, and then it will be said that in the morning, Chengren men and women will go to the grain field and go to Nanshan Village to participate in the blind date meeting together!"
The people on the grain field gradually left, but Ding Yang didn't leave, thinking of so many years of hard work, it depends on whether he can raise his eyebrows today, but he didn't think that it was such a result, Ding Yang only felt that the world was so gloomy!
The sun also rusted red clouds in the western sky, slowly disappearing into the Yanxi Mountains. Ding Yang walked to the place where he practiced his strength, even if the grinding stone that he usually felt was very large at this time, Ding Yang used all his strength to hold the grinding stone and yelled "Drink!" The grinding stone only shook slightly, but it was not lifted like others.
"Why!Why!!!" Ding Yang whispered, tears had already fallen, hitting the millstone like raindrops, "Daddy, I knew why you let Yang'er live in this world at that time!! Sixteen years of scenes have appeared in Ding Yang's mind, Ding Zeng took a dozen children to watch him lift weights, and then laughed at the waste! Ding Taishui often did not distribute rice food to him! The elders also treated him like the children of Houding Village! Only Ding Ru and Ding Taishan treated him best.
Ding Yang's eyes were red as blood and his lips were chapped at this time! Obviously, Ding Yang was not a person who would give up so easily, otherwise he would have died a long time ago!! Although fate was so unfair to him, although he was often bullied by others! No matter how discouraged he was, he never gave up practicing! "I, Ding Yang, must get ahead, and when I return to Houding Village, I will definitely impress them!!" At this time, Ding Yang ran around the grain field with tears in his eyes......
