The beginning of the first volume to the eighth chapter before entering the mountain
When the east is white, the smoke rises in the cooking in Jiulao Village, and the men in the village today go into the mountains to hunt, adults and children get up early to prepare sacrifices, and the fat tiger and the three babies carry the blood and food of the three animals to the ancestral hall. Every time before entering the mountain, the village chief will lead everyone to the ancestral tablet to worship and pray.
"Qingshan, big lazy worm, get up......" Jiang Shixing lived in the stone house opposite the old locust tree, and was originally helping in the ancestral hall, but was arranged by the village chief to wake up Li Qingshan to participate in the ancestral sacrifice together. The young man had a lot of fun, picked up the fallen locust leaves on the ground, smiled and leaned on Li Qingshan's ear and put the tail of the leaves into his nostrils, then turned it slightly, and deliberately lowered his voice and said.
"Mengmeng, don't make trouble, I just fell asleep ......" Li Qingshan, who was sleeping, was still in a dream, and thought that Sun Mengmeng was teasing him next to him, lying on the stone table, rubbing his itchy nose, and muttering and turning his face to the other side.
"Moe?"
Jiang Shixing's face was full of questions, thinking that no one in the village called this name, scratching his head, looking at the clan elders who entered the ancestral hall one after another, as well as the villagers waiting outside the door, he almost forgot about the things arranged by the village chief's grandfather, he suddenly took a deep breath and said loudly: "Qingshan, hurry up, the ancestral sacrifice will start soon, it's not good if it's late!" ”
Jiang Shixing's voice was loud, Li Qingshan suddenly opened his eyes, his body bounced up, his head buzzed, and when Mu Ne turned his head to see what was going on, his body leaned back suddenly, and then, the whole person was pulled by Jiang Shixing and ran up.
Li Qingshan, who thought he was in a dream, was awake at the moment, and sat under the old locust tree with the village chief last night and chatted for a long time, telling him about his experience before falling into the water, in front of this wise and kind old man, he didn't think about hiding anything, Li Fengxian even touched his bones and studied the reasons why he became a teenager, but in the end, it was fruitless. In this way, unconsciously, the sky was faintly white, and he was also asleep at this time, and even saw Sun Mengmeng, as well as family and friends, in his dream, and hugged them one by one.
"Qingshan, Xiao Jiang, come here......" Fat Tiger waved his raised hands, so that Li Qingshan and the two could see his location clearly, today all the men, women and children in the village arrived, more than 300 people stood outside the ancestral hall in an orderly manner, Jiang Shixing and Li Qingshan kept shuttling in the crowd, and walked to the end of the team and stood with a group of teenagers such as Fat Tiger Sanwa, and a few idle Piwa also winked at them and made faces.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Two huge war drums stand left and right in front of the ancestral hall, and there are two tall strong men standing below, holding stone hammers and looking eastward, when they see a corner of the morning sun, they wave their arms and beat the war drums, the sound is like thunder, and the echo is endless.
The sound of drums sounded, in the ancestral ancestral hall, the village chief Li Fengxian stood in front of the ancestral tablet as the leader, and more than a dozen old people of the same age stood side by side behind him, they were the elders of the nine clans, and their prestige in the village was extremely high, and then there were more than 20 people who entered the Tianmai Mountain hunting team today, they were all the leaders of the various clans in the Jiulao Village, and their cultivation had entered the King Kong realm. The blood food of the three animals and the barley grain were placed on the desk, the village chief picked up the tortoise carapace bone used for divination, and then raised it above his head, bowed down to the ancestral tablet, and the rest of the people also followed the ground and worshipped, as the drum became more and more dense, Li Fengxian held the tortoise shell in both hands, and solemnly put it into the burning brazier under the desk, accompanied by a crackling sound, the sparks splashed, and everyone in the ancestral hall looked slightly nervous, watching the flames scurrying around the tortoise shell.
"Daji!"
"Good!" Everyone in the ancestral hall agreed.
The morning sun hangs in the east, yesterday Li Qingshan heard the village chief mention, this big sun is a three-legged golden crow, it is the son of the ancient emperor, because he can't bear the creatures in the world to live in the dark, when he preached, he stole the essence of Cangyu's most origin to lock it into the body with the battle, and incarnated into the sun and this heaven and earth as one, since then the morning and twilight, the golden crow clan has also become one of the most prestigious clans in the nine domains. The golden light shone on the earth, the sound of drums should stop at all times, the voice of the village chief came out from the ancestral hall, and the villagers who were praying with their eyes closed were all happy, this time the sacrifice was more solemn than before, because many children in the village were about to wash the dust, and they needed to go into the depths of the mountain to obtain the blood of the fierce beast and the spirit herb to wash the body and meridians. Just like last night's goldenrod fish soup with ambergris, the combination of the two can have a greater effect.
"The ancestors bless, the hexagram is auspicious!"
"Sheng!"
The old man surnamed Yao stepped out of the ancestral ancestral hall, revealing his strong upper body, his beard dancing in the wind, a snow-white thick animal skin tied around his waist, and shouting loudly with both hands holding the turtle carapace, more than 300 villagers retreated one after another, and after giving way to the middle road, they also echoed loudly, and the momentum was like a rainbow. Li Qingshan noticed Jiang Shixing beside him, and several teenagers with fat tigers and three babies turned red, jumped up with their fists clenched and shouted.
The tortoise shell was burned black and yellow by the flames, but there was no trace of cracks, after sweeping them one by one in front of the villagers, the old man surnamed Yao stood in the middle of the road with a solemn expression, waiting for the village chief to lead everyone out, the villagers on both sides nodded after seeing the tortoise shell, although the auspicious omen was exciting, but there was not too much joy, everyone knew in their hearts, even if it was a good omen, there would be deaths and injuries, Jiulao Village and the surrounding villages could have today's stability with the sky, and the earth, and this ancient mountain range to fight, alive, without any luck.
"Sheng!"
After the old man surnamed Yao announced the divination results, the village chief and a group of people walked out of the ancestral hall, and the villagers shouted, the nine clans are of the same lineage, and the ancestors followed the first generation of human emperors to fight in all directions, supporting each other, and the love of comrades has long been buried deep in the bones.
"Brother Yao, Tianmai Mountain has been unstable and tired recently." After taking the tortoise shell, the village chief said to the old man, when he was talking to Li Qingshan last night, his divine sense sensed that many giant murderers in Tianmai Mountain had awakened from their slumber, although it was in the deepest part of the mountain, some powerful creatures who had been wandering around it for a long time, feeling this terrifying aura, had already fled from the wind, and at the same time drove a large number of poisonous insects and beasts to the periphery of the mountain.
"This time, it's more dangerous than ever, and I'll do my best to protect it." The old man surnamed Yao nodded, he and the other three clan elders led the team into the mountain, Tianmai Mountain had already sensed the movement last night, and everyone had a heavy look on their faces, and most of the beasts flocked to the periphery in order to avoid the crisis, and many of them were powerful giants.
The villagers dispersed, and the fat tiger took Li Qingshan and Jiang Shixing into the ancestral hall and carried out the three animals used for sacrifice, and then a group of women came around, and after taking over, they were ready to clean up, and then put them into the big ding to cook, so that the men who went into the mountains to hunt were full and then set off.
"Grandpa, I want to go into the mountains too." Fat Tiger's real name is Yao Hu, and the old man surnamed Yao who was hugged and coquettish by him is his grandfather's name Yao Yi, who once served as the commander of the Dangshan Army, and has reached the last realm of the four realms of Qi training, and the "Dragon Elephant" is also one of the strongest people in the village.
"When you grow up, grandpa will catch a tiger for you to use as a mount." Yao Yi looked at this chubby grandson very fondly, the fat tiger in his vein has the best cultivation qualifications, plus this child's heart is simple and innocent, no worse than the heirs of those big clans, and promised with a smile.
Under the old locust tree, Li Qingshan stood beside the village chief Li Fengxian and watched this warm scene, the corners of his mouth also showed a smile, but he inevitably felt a burst of envy in his heart, thinking that he said goodbye to his parents half a month ago, went to Longhu Mountain to play, and then experienced the most bizarre trip in his life, and learned from the village chief that there is no shortage of visitors from outside the territory in the Nine Domains, but they are all people with profound cultivation and magical powers, and he is just an ordinary man, and he doesn't know whether he is lucky or unlucky.
"Don't think about it, I heard the village chief say that your origin is magical, since you participated in the ancestral sacrifice, and you have the same surname as this old guy, it is also fate, just treat the village as your own home."
"This child is from outside the territory, far away from his homeland, and it is inevitable that he will touch the scene."
People are old and refined, and it is appropriate to use them on the two old men, the village chief and Yao Yi, but it can be heard from the conversation between the two, they seem to be able to see through what others are thinking, and they stand there as if they have been stripped naked, and they look through the inside and outside, Li Qingshan smiled bitterly in his heart, and criticized the two old men as usual.
"Two grandfathers, can I still go back?" Li Qingshan asked, this is the question he is most concerned about, and he is eager to know the answer.
"Since you can come, there will be a way back, you walk out of this mountain range, the answer may be among them, but if you want to enter Tianmai Mountain, you must make yourself strong." The village chief comforted, and then encouraged.
"Without any cultivation, how did you get out, is it because of it?" Yao Yi stood up, walked to Li Qingshan's side, his eyes were like torches, and looked at the thumb-sized bronze bell tied around his waist, wanting to see something from it, but he gave up again after a moment.
Li Qingshan shook his head, his consciousness couldn't remember anything after falling into the water, this memory was completely blank, there were many truths waiting for him to uncover one by one, the bottom of the Luxi River, the bronze bell, why he became a teenager, and this Tianmai Mountain, where many ancient giants were dormant.
"It's time to eat~"
"Don't think too much, let's go."
Li Qingshan, who was deep in thought, was awakened and walked to the dining table with the village chief.
The people of the village all gathered together for dinner, and the stone slabs were spread very long and long, and the huge creatures that looked like wild boars were decomposed by the woman, and then cut into small pieces for everyone, Li Qingshan took it and smelled it, raised his eyebrows, and it tasted very good.
