Chapter 4 Talking Barbarian
A tall stone house, smoky, and pitch-black, Lu Chen, lying quietly in the bathtub with an unknown book in his hand, and the old man next to him threw a few herbs into the bathtub from time to time.
"In a few more days you have to be brutal, and you can't postpone it any longer. The old man looked at Lu Chen with some concern, eight years old is the time stipulated by the clan to enter the barbara, and he must boil his body before learning brute skills, but Lu Chen shirked it with various excuses, and he has not officially tempered his body so far.
In fact, Lu Chen also wants to enter the barbarian to learn brute skills, and otaku like him are still very interested in these magical things, but since he went to the back mountain to see Ah Niu once, after Huzi tempered his body, he had palpitations, and completely lost his enthusiasm for entering the barbarian.
It's a little unreasonable to come to this barbarian realm but not know brute skills, "Isn't there a brute skill that you can learn without refining your body?" Lu Chen said without giving up.
The old man looked helpless, Lu Chen didn't want to boil his body, he completely knew the reason, he didn't want to endure hardship, and he couldn't stand the tiredness, "Yes, yes, but you won't learn." ”
Lu Chen was a little surprised, when he showed this kind of intention in the past, the old man would not tell him so kindly, and he would be criticized at the lightest.
"What kind of brute skill?"
"Beyond the 100,000 mountains, the spiritual skills of the Xuanyuan human race. The old man replied disapprovingly.
Lu Chen rolled his eyes at the old man for a while, he had also learned about the spiritual skills and treasures of the Xuanyuan human race in books, and the requirements for the physical body were indeed not as high as those of brute skills, but to cultivate the spiritual skills and treasures, he had to meditate and practice penance, and he also needed some spiritual places with sufficient vitality, such as volcanic craters and deep sea eyes. Lu Chen didn't think he had the leisure to jump off the cliff in Tiger Mountain.
There are two major branches of human beings, and the human race outside the 100,000 mountains mostly cultivates spiritual skills, and the spirit skills originated in the Xuanyuan era, so all other races call them Xuanyuan people. The humans who live in the 100,000 mountains are called barbarians because they learn the brute skills of simulating brute beasts based on demon scripts.
"Is our Lu Jiazhai really inherited from ancient times?" Lu Chen shook the book in his hand, he had always been skeptical, it was a miracle that their village, which had less than a thousand people, could continue from ancient times to the present.
"Of course, the ancestor of our Lu family is a well-known figure in ancient times, No, isn't it clearly introduced in the book. The old man glared at Lu Chen with some anger, this unfilial child, even the ancestor dared to doubt it.
Lu Chen was funny in his heart, the old man dared to believe the things in this book? He looked a little embarrassed at the content above, completely writing the ancestors of the Lu family as unparalleled in the world, invincible in the world, and boasting endlessly, and there was no actual content in the book except for boasting or boasting.
Seeing Lu Chen's look of disbelief, the old man didn't care, and continued: "Because you are born with a vision, the clan is extra lenient with you. You make some messy excuses and don't want to quench your body, and the elders obey you, but they are also dissatisfied. Now that you are about to turn eight years old, this is the time stipulated by the clan to enter the barbarium, if you insist on messing around again, you don't need me to tell you, you also know what the consequences will be. ”。
Lu Chen was silent, he practiced his skills at the age of eight, no one in Lu Jiazhai violated it, and no one dared to violate it, and he still knew the strict rules of the clan.
"We'll talk about it then. Lu Chen said weakly, are the leisurely days over?
The old man shook his head helplessly, when it came to quenching the body, he tried his best to excuse himself, and he had only learned some methods of gathering insects and poisoning over the years.
After soaking in the bath, Lu Chen's skin turned a little whiter, in order to completely drive out the giant poison of the flying poison centipede, a special ointment is needed, and the hunting team in the village will specially collect materials for him every time he goes out, so it is a lot of time wasted, after all, he has to turn black once a day, and the time has lasted for more than six years.
The old man took out a pot of earthy yellow medicine, the red glow in the medicine jar was shining, this is a special ointment made of more than a dozen kinds of spiritual materials, two of which are four-grade elixirs, very rare, this formula is still a thousand years ago that the ancestor specially left for taming the flying poisonous centipede.
Covered in ointment, there was a hint of coolness on the originally burning skin.
Lu Chen climbed into bed early, there were a lot of things today, and he needed to make up for it.
......
At the beginning of the moon, the old man paced back and forth in the room, his brows were tense and loose.
"Aman. ”
With the old man's soft call, the cold middle-aged man pushed open the stone door and walked in.
"How's things going?"
"The eight-pole divine banner guarding the mountain poison array is intact, and the demon inscription on the banner shows no signs of dissipating. Ah Man replied respectfully.
The old man's brows furrowed a little tighter, this is strange, the coercion of the mountain guarding the poisonous array covers the village for thousands of miles, even the heavenly beasts dare not set foot easily, but recently, they have frequently found traces of low-level brute beasts around the village.
"The low-level brute beast has low intelligence, could it just break in by mistake?" Ah Man also knew what the old man was wondering about, and he was not sure about the authentic way.
The old man shook his head and denied, "No matter how low the level is, it is impossible to be like an ordinary beast that cannot feel the coercion of the divine banner at all.
Suddenly, the old man's eyes shrank slightly, and he thought of something.
"Patriarch?" asked Aman, seeing the change in the old man's eyes.
"In fact, there is another possibility, if there is an ancient relic driven by it, the coercion of the mountain poison array alone cannot stop the footsteps of the brute beasts. The old man's voice was a little muffled, but extra clear on a quiet night.
The Ancient Relic is the direct descendant of the activation of the bloodline of the Ancient Beast, and belongs to the top of the food chain in this barbaric era when the Ancient Beast was extinct.
"Ancient relics, how is this possible, the ancient relics are concentrated in the depths of the 100,000 mountains, although our village is relatively close to the inside, but the distance is ......" Ah Man heard the old man's words, his originally cold face showed horror, and he raised his head sharply
Speaking of the back, Ah Man's tone became weaker and weaker, five hundred years ago, there were ancient relics that came out of the depths of the 100,000 mountains, driving the beasts, dozens of villages turned into dust, and even the far away Lujiazhai was affected.
"Expand the patrol area, and if there is any clue, report it immediately. The old man said cautiously, if his guess was correct, the village would be in big trouble.
Aman's face returned to coldness, but it was a little different from his original expression, a little more worried, nodded, turned around and closed the stone door, and disappeared into the night.
Lu Chen was sleeping soundly on the bed next to him, he didn't know anything about it, he didn't know what Lu Dao dreamed of, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. The old man looked at Lu Chen, who was smiling at the corner of his mouth on the bed, and thought fiercely in his heart: What about the ancient relics, how can my Lu clan be comparable to those dozen villages, dare to break into the village, I will definitely let you taste the heritage of the Lu clan for ten thousand years.
········
In ancient times, the demon clan ruled the heaven and the earth, and the demon clan strong created a kind of writing by observing the runes on the bodies of various brute beasts, these words have great power, can communicate with heaven and earth, and cut yin and yang, but there are many restrictions, those who have no great mana can not write, not the treasure of heaven and earth can not be carried, and later generations of human race call it demon text, and the technique created according to the demon text is called brute technique.
After the catastrophe of the demon race, the human race ruled the world, because most of the human race was weak and could not use the demon script, the human ancestors created a new script according to the mountains, rivers, and earth weather, which was called the spirit script, and the technique created with the spirit script was called the spirit technique.
