Chapter Twenty-Eight: Blood Medicinal Bath
When the village chief came back, the sun had already moved westward for most of the time, and he found that Ye Li was asleep leaning against the door, with crystal saliva still hanging on his mouth, and the old village chief also smiled dotingly and shook his head.
"Why hasn't the hunting party come back yet?" the village chief looked at the gate of the village and muttered to himself with some concern, with gray hair and wrinkles on his forehead like the bark of an old tree.
At this moment, a commotion at the entrance of the village disrupted his thoughts,
"Hurry up, hurry up......" shouted the big man of the hunting party into the village.
"The hunting party is back......" The bears and children in the village suddenly exploded, and the dogs and skinny monkeys opened their throats and ran around the village. They are the two naughtiest babies in the village, the dogs are chubby and very pleasing, while the thin monkeys are as thin as thin poles, and the two of them mix together all day long, and they are a pair of little living treasures in the village.
Ye Li was quickly woken up, "What's wrong?"
The village chief finally let go of the big stone in his heart, "It's the hunting team that has come back, you go and see it first, and I'll go after boiling the treasure medicine here." ”
Ye Li rubbed his eyes and walked out of the house, and found that it had become very lively outside, and the men carried beasts on their backs and threw them into the open space in front of the village. The women took knives and made deep cuts in the heart of the beast, and then used clay pots to catch the only remaining blood in it, which was the most precious blood in the beast's body, which could be made into a treasure medicine to strengthen the body of children.
The children gathered together, making a lot of noise, running around the carcasses of the beasts that seemed to be piled up into a hill.
"Ye Li, where have you been for the past half a day?"
"Come and play, there seems to be a little triangular beast here. ”
......
This is Da Shi shouting, he is Shi Dahu's eldest son, the same age as Ye Li, fifteen years old, but he is tall, much taller than his peers, and he is the child king of the village.
The children can finally let go and play, and the father comes back safely and has a good harvest, who is not happy?
Even the old people in the village rarely get out of the house, this is a rare harvest in the village for decades, and everyone wants to see it.
"Why are there so many? I don't think I've seen them in decades. A respectable old man asked.
"This time, we went into a treasure field that we had never found before, so we could have such a harvest. Mu Tie, the leader of this hunt, wiped the sweat from his face and said with a smile.
"It's like a legendary embarrassment. A man came with a beast on his back and shouted loudly.
"Is it an atavism?" Some people were surprised, the fierce beast is a fierce beast, and it is a terrible existence that can run rampant in this thousands of miles.
"No, it's just that the blood is relatively pure, and there are signs of atavism. An old man shook his head, he had lived a long time and had seen far.
Ye Li saw a young beast chased by the other children, his eyes immediately lit up, and he ran over in good spirits.
"These kids ......" The old people looked at the children who had gone crazy, and couldn't help but smile and shake their heads, but they didn't blame. This time the village had a big harvest, and everyone was very happy.
The women were busy nervously, there were too many beasts caught, most of them had just died, so there was still a lot of blood in their hearts, and they needed to be preserved quickly, otherwise they would lose their essence, and it would be equivalent to wasting most of them.
The men grinned and threw the beasts in the open space at the entrance of the village.
The old village chief came out with the treasure medicine, and hurriedly beckoned Ye Li to come over and drink the treasure medicine, and then he walked to the open space, "At night, I will leave some for food, and the rest will be taken care of and dried for the future." "In the village, food is extremely scarce, and now that there is a surplus, it is natural to plan more.
As soon as the village chief finished speaking, everyone agreed in a hurry.
"This time, I have gained a lot of precious blood, and I can get a medicinal bath for the children again. An old man said.
As soon as he said this, the adults agreed.
But the children scattered and fled. But after less than a stick of incense, he was brought back by the adults of each family, and he was beaten a few times on the buttocks, "What are you running? We didn't have this condition when we were children, so we are not allowed to shout again." ”
More than a dozen large tripods in the village were carried out, and a fire was lit and the medicinal soup began to boil.
Jars of beast blood were poured into the ding, and the village chief threw some beast bones into it from time to time, which were the most essential places on the beast's body, which was very good for boiling the body.
An hour passed, the children cried and were thrown into the bronze tripod, everyone screamed heartbreakingly, it was so uncomfortable, as if there was a knife on the flesh, almost fainted in pain, but just couldn't faint, the children's screams took more than half an hour before stopping.
Everyone was taken out with a miserable look, like a monkey drenched in their hair.
"Go back and get a good night's sleep, don't eat at night, and start working out more intensely tomorrow. Shi Dahu waved his hand and said with a full temperament.
Ye Li was not thrown into the dingli together.
Next to the bronze tripod, a slightly shorter black tripod was tumbling with hot red medicinal slurry.
"You drink treasure medicine all year round, that little medicinal soup is useless to you, and grandpa has made a separate blend for you. The village chief took out a red crystal from his arms and threw it into the ding, and said to Ye Li.
Other children who were still a little angry suddenly became honest when they heard this, God knows how terrifying the medicinal soup in the black ding is, and they haven't seen a little water, just looking at the tumbling medicinal slurry, it is almost solidified, and when people go down, I am afraid that a layer of skin will be scalded off in an instant, right?
Ye Li nodded, he believed that his grandfather would not harm him.
But when he was thrown into the ding, he still couldn't help but scream, it hurt so much, as if there were countless hands about to tear him apart. As soon as his mouth opened, a medicinal slurry was poured into his mouth, and Ye Li couldn't even shout.
"Nothing will happen, right?" the men couldn't help but ask when they saw Ye Li's tragic condition. Such a terrible medicinal power, even they may not be able to withstand it.
"No, Ye Li's foundation has been completely repaired, and it is even very solid, and now it is good for him. The village chief shook his head, but his eyes were fixed on Hei Ding, obviously extremely worried.
When Ye Li was brought up, his whole body wilted, but his eyes became brighter and full of spirituality.
"How?" asked him.
"The medicinal soup is too bitter and not good at all. Ye Li shook his head, burped as he spoke, a bitterness appeared in his stomach, and Ye Li's face was about to wrinkle together.
"Haha......" Everyone laughed, and Ye Li was full of feelings.
Night soon fell, and everyone happily packed up their belongings and went home.
Early the next morning, there was another burst of chickens and dogs jumping in the village.
The adults lifted the animal skin blankets and carried the children out one by one, "Get up for me, the morning exercise is about to start, and I'm still sleeping!"
The children pouted, took the jerky and rushed to the open space at the entrance of the village, and a few wanted to be lazy, but they were directly awakened by a slap from the adult, and ran away with their buttocks covered.
"Starting today, the village chief will teach everyone runes. Shi Dahu opened his throat and said.
"Village Chief, is it useful to learn those runes? We've been studying for more than half a year, and we don't feel as good as boiling our bodies. Big Stone was the first to say. This move immediately aroused Shi Dahu's angry eyes.
The village chief was on crutches and said with a smile, "Nature is useful, runes can communicate mysterious powers, open human treasures, and are true cultivation." Ye Li, you can show it to everyone. ”
Last night, Ye Li returned to the house after the medicinal bath, and there was a very amazing change, although he couldn't see it now, but the village chief knew it.
"Oh. Ye Li responded obediently.
I saw his right hand quickly swipe in the void, and then pinched out a strange but very coordinated mark, and pressed it on the small stone on the side, and the small stone was instantly shattered into pieces by an inexplicable force.
"Ahh
The rest of the children couldn't help but open their mouths wide, and even Shi Dahu on the side was a little surprised.
Although the big guy has a few hundred catties of strength, and it is easy to smash stones, this is a power that everyone has never been exposed to before, and it looks even more shocking.
"This is the real practice, from today onwards I will systematically teach to you, as long as there are one or two who can understand this method, I will enlighten everyone!" said the village chief at the right time, and threw out a piece of news that shocked everyone.
"Village Chief......" Shi Dahu couldn't help but look at the old village chief. Enlightenment is not something that can be lightly enlightened, and sometimes it will not be enlightened once for decades, because every enlightenment will consume a large number of treasures, which is a burden for the village, and will even drag the village into the abyss of no return.
The village chief smiled and said, "I have been preparing since thirty years ago, and in the last few days, I have finally gathered enough things to enlighten the spirit, and it will not affect the village. Therefore, everyone should practice well, and this will be an opportunity for our deserted village. ”
"Got it!" cried out the children in unison.
Shi Dahu was silent, the village chief once went out to the village once, stayed outside for nearly ten years, and when he came back, he was injured, and he was finally rescued.
When he was a child, he had heard the old people say that the village chief's insight was extremely far-reaching, and he had seen many things that ordinary people would not dare to imagine.
The village chief took a cane, sat on a stone chair, and explained the construction of runes to the children below from the beginning.
The children listened very carefully and did not dare to miss a single detail, which is related to future achievements, and they did not want to be left behind.
Shi Dahu left not long after, it was useless for him to learn these now, it was better to take care of some of the beasts left over from yesterday.
One morning, all the children were extremely serious.
"Let's go back to eat first, and practice hard in the afternoon. The village chief got up and said to all the children on crutches.
The children answered in unison, and then spread their feet and ran away.
The village chief led Ye Li step by step to his home, "How do you feel listening to it today?"
"I understood everything, listened to it again, and had some new insights. Ye Li said very seriously.
"Oh? The village chief smiled and touched Ye Li's head.
"You said that runes can be drawn in the void or engraved on animal bones, can they also be engraved in their own flesh and marrow?" Ye Li tilted his head and said, this is a question he has been thinking about all morning.
The village chief was immediately surprised when he heard this, and couldn't help but sigh again at Ye Li's understanding of runes, and it was not too much to call it a demon, "That's naturally possible, but this involves the realm after embarking on the path of cultivation, you can think about it now, but you must not try it at will, otherwise it will have a bad impact on your future cultivation." ”
"Yes, I know. Ye Li nodded obediently.
When he returned home, the village chief set up the clay pot as usual and began to practice the treasure medicine. Ye Li sat alone on the stone bench at the door, quietly flipping through the animal skin booklet that his grandfather gave him.
Looking at it now, there is no vision when he saw it for the first time, but Ye Li still can't help but be intoxicated.
The mysterious runes are constantly dismantled and rearranged, containing infinite variables, and can even derive other more powerful existences, perhaps, this is the real cultivation, Ye Li sighed for no reason.
