Chapter Ninety-Six: The Rite of Passage
Huang
Early in the morning, the men did not go out hunting, but carried large stones to build a high platform on the shore of the Lake of the Gods, while the women prepared large and small stone bowls with various kinds of food in them, and placed them neatly on the stone steps in front of the high platform.
The children had never seen such a battle before, and they were very excited to run wildly.
The old people, supported by their juniors, walked to the side of the stone platform, where the village chief was standing and directing everyone.
"I'm going to prepare a coming-of-age ceremony for the children......"
"Yes, it has been delayed for a generation, and now that there are conditions, we still have to do sacrifices, otherwise it will still delay the future of the children!" the village chief said with emotion as he traced the traces left by time out of the corner of his eyes.
The old people laughed, "Thanks to you, you were able to get out of this mountain, otherwise the bloodline left by the ancestors would really be wiped out." ”
The village chief also shook his head with a smile, but there were more vicissitudes in his expression.
Ye Li returned to the village, sneaked back to the house and changed his clothes before walking out.
The village is alive again, the children began to chase Ye Li, Mu Lei and Shi Haotian and Shi Haoyue practiced all day long, and there was almost no one to see, and now Ye Li finally came back, so someone took everyone crazy together.
The dogs and the thin monkeys grinned, they were called by the adults to help move the stones, seeing that Ye Li was so relaxed, they couldn't balance their hearts at all,
"What are you lazy to steal, Ye Li's strength is so strong, you don't need to move stones, you are just starting now, you have to work harder. The adults said solemnly.
The village chief beckoned Ye Li over, "When the time comes, you will have a coming-of-age ceremony with the big and small stones, and it will be set in fifteen days." ”
Ye Li nodded, he looked around, and there was no big and small stone and Mu Lei.
"These three children, in order to break through the shackles in front of them, have been cultivating day and night, and they don't know where they have gone. ”
While the village chief was still talking, there was a big movement outside the village, and three mammoths like small hills were dragged into the village with a roar.
"Stop screaming, your brain is buzzing with you. Murray shook off the mammoth and slammed his fist on the top of the elephant's head, knocking it unconscious.
The big and small stones are also the same, the big guys are not surprised, with Ye Li and the four of them, at least the meat is absolutely not worried.
"In the past few days, the village has been preparing for the coming-of-age ceremony, and when we came back, we brought some food with us. Shi Haotian said to his father.
Shi Dahu patted Shi Haotian and continued to work.
Mu Lei saw Ye Li beside the village chief, so he hurriedly ran over, a bear hug, and all of them were silent.
Big and small stones also ran over, and after returning from the front line, the four of them got together again.
After the joy, Mu Lei first asked, "Ye Li, how is your strength now?"
Ye Lilen paused for a moment, and then shook his head, "It's not very clear, now I haven't started to specialize in cultivating attack methods, and my strength hasn't increased much compared to more than two months ago." ”
Xiao Shi still had a bitter look on his face when he heard it, "We haven't broken through the shackles of the demon seal for a day, and our strength hasn't improved for a day, it's really anxious......"
Ye Li said with a smile, "Don't be in a hurry! There is still half a month, I will stay in the village, and when the time comes, we will cultivate together, and it just so happens that I am ready to master the means of attack as soon as possible, otherwise I will suffer too much against the enemy in the future." ”
When Mu Lei and the three of them heard this, they were overjoyed at the moment.
Ye Li saw that there was not much to do here, so he made an appointment with Mu Lei and Xiaoshi to go to the woods to cultivate tomorrow.
Time flies, and there is only one day left before Ye Li and the coming-of-age ceremony of Big and Small Stone,
Ten miles outside the village in the woods,
A figure passed through abruptly, followed by three more figures chasing after each other.
"Bang!"
"Bang!"
......
The figure at the front suddenly turned around, his fists burst out, and the four of them were in a mess again.
It's Ye Li's four people!
Ye Li's attack at this time has become more handy than before, fists, palms, elbows, arms, back, every part of the body can now become the most powerful means of attack, but it has not yet reached the state of doing whatever he wants, but as long as he continues to practice hard, it is only a matter of time before he wants to reach this level.
Mu Lei's face was happy, his attack was now becoming more and more irritable, and his every move was almost like a thunderstorm, and if he didn't pay attention to it, there would be endless means to cast it later.
The moves of the big stone are more and more majestic, as if the sun is in the sky, and every qiē move has become mighty and dignified, but it is mixed with an irresistible majesty, like an emperor patrolling, which makes people feel timid.
Compared with the other two, Xiao Shi's offensive is much more low-key, but its power is not a little behind at all, the cold attack methods, as if the cold air in the sky is about to fall, greatly limiting the opponent's movements, and this cold meaning has a hidden aura of silence, which makes people desperate.
Ye Li maintained his strength at the same level as the three of them, so as to constantly hone his killing methods in "The Spiritual Solution of the Dragon".
"Boom!"
"Boom!"
......
The four of them fought to the point of madness, and they didn't care about it at all, but they actually fought each other.
Shi Haoyue suddenly slapped out with a palm, and the chill was like a maggot on the tarsal bone directly wrapped around the big stone; but Mu Lei's attack fell from the sky at the right time, directly engulfing the small stone; Ye Li also rubbed his body up, purely attacking with his body, and smashed Mu Lei directly into the ground with one punch.
The birds and beasts in the woods fled one after another, and even those fierce beasts subconsciously restrained their breath, for fear of annoying the four evil stars.
In the evening, Ye Li and the others stopped fighting, sweating like rain all over their bodies, and they were really happy.
"The coming-of-age ceremony is about to begin, so let's go back quickly, otherwise the village chief and grandfather will clean us up again. "Although Dashi usually has the demeanor of his father, he is only afraid of the village chief.
Sure enough, when the four of them returned to the village, the reprimands of the adults quickly sounded,
"This kid, why is he so uneasy? Tomorrow there will be a coming-of-age ceremony, and he will go out to cultivate. ”
The village chief took Ye Li back to the house and brought a stone bowl from the table, "Drink it." ”
Ye Li didn't have any momentum outside at this time, he was completely a good child, he took the stone bowl and drank it in one gulp, and suddenly a hot current rushed directly to his brain, and before Ye Li could react, he fell asleep.
The village chief's face was full of kindness, picked up Ye Li, and gently put him on the bed.
As night fell, the village fell silent. The warm points of light from the Lake of the Gods still float down like rain, guarding the village inside.
Early the next morning, before the sun rose, the village was blown up by a few bear children, and the adults got up quickly.
Today is the coming-of-age ceremony of Ye Li, Shi Haotian, and Shi Haoyue, and they must not be sloppy.
The village chief rarely wore the special clothes for the sacrifice, and a turban was wrapped around his head, and five streamers of different colors hung down, full of mystery.
Ye Li and the big and small stones were still in a daze, they were packed up by the adults and taken to a stone house, where a group of women helped them prepare their clothes.
Although it was still a linen garment, it had a different color, and a long strip of cloth was wrapped and wrapped, almost almost covering the whole person.
Ye Li is simply living like a year, he would rather face the siege of Jiaoyun and the three of them again than continue to stay, it is too tormenting.
As soon as the clothes were put on, the three of them were pushed out of the door, and then they were taken by several men to the high platform by the lake of gods.
At this time, there was already a dark three-legged tripod in front of the high platform, the three-legged tripod was only half a person high, and there was a half-tripod water in it rippling irregularly, which was the water of the lake of the gods, and had divine power.
The sun had just shone from the east, and the village chief directly ascended to the high platform, "Rite of passage, Kai!"
After that, the adults of the villagers looked solemn, stood around the three-legged black ding, and did not smile, and the children were all sent back to the house, not allowed to go out.
"The ancestors bless, the cangwu shelter, the divine protection, when to return, the glory of the ancestors ?......" the village chief silently recited the words of worship.
Streams of light escaped from the cane in his hand, and continued to pour into the three-legged black tripod surrounded by adults, and the lake of gods rippled, and there was a trace of mysterious power flowing.
"Gift!" the village chief shouted again after reciting the eulogy.
Shi Dahu was the first, and a sharp blade in his hand slashed directly from his arm, and little by little blood spilled into the black ding......
The blades quickly reached the next man's hands, and another splash of blood was spilled, one after the other. Ye Li's eyes widened, but they didn't dare to talk nonsense.
By the time the last man sprinkled blood into the black ding, a quarter of an hour had passed.
Finally, the village chief stretched out his hand, and a stream of bright red blood flew from between his fingers and threw it into the black ding. "Chengli!" Ye Li and the three of them were brought to Heiding.
A bowl of divine lake water mixed with the blood of the whole village was brought to Ye Li, and there was also a bowl in front of the big and small stones.
