Chapter 5 Willing to learn from barbarism
Lu Chen opened his eyes in a daze, and the dazzling sunlight outside the window made him squint involuntarily. The ointment on his body was already thirsty and clumpy, and it was uncomfortable against his skin. The lumpy ointment fell off with his sound, revealing the white skin inside, the recipe left by the ancestors was really wonderful, yesterday it was as black as the bottom of the pot, today it has become white and tender.
Four figures stood in front of the bed, Lu Chen was a little confused, why were the old man and the three elders there?
"Wake up?" The Great Elder's face was a little gloomy, and he glared at the old man next to him fiercely, the old man tilted his head in embarrassment, and said in his heart, can you blame me, you said don't give him too many restraints, let him develop freely.
"Morning!" Lu Chen stretched comfortably, and slept until he woke up naturally, which was simply refreshing.
"Hmph!" three soft hums sounded at the same time, lunch time was over, it was still early, and it was getting more and more disagreeable, how did the third child usually discipline, how quiet and lovely the child was when he was a child, he was lazy like this.
"Go to dinner, and come to the ancestral hall after eating. The Great Elder dropped these words and left with the other two elders with a black face, he was afraid that if he stayed a little longer, he would not be able to help but slap a natural alien to death, which of the children in the clan was like him, and which one dared to be as lazy as him, all blamed the third child, and he would not teach the child at all.
Ancestral Hall? Lu Chen had a bad premonition. This was the first time the elders had asked him to go to the ancestral hall since he had been kicked out two years ago.
"Go eat, the food is hot for you. The old man was also a little surprised, he didn't expect that the boss, the second, and the fourth would come over at the same time, looking at the situation of these three sessions, Lu Chen was afraid that he would suffer a little.
The walls of the ancestral hall are a little pitted, which are traces of how many years have been washed away by rain. In the ancestral hall, on the high incense cage, there is a fierce blue-faced clay man with a beard, the clay man holds a dilapidated umbrella in his right hand, and a faded gourd in his right hand. There is a stone tablet placed under the clay figure, which reads: the spiritual seat of the first generation ancestor Lu Yue, and the spiritual position of countless other ancestors is displayed under the stone tablet.
The old man and the three elders sat on both sides, and Lu Chen knelt under the clay statue in an orderly manner.
"Lu Chen, what is the eighth article of the Lu clan rules?" The Great Elder's voice echoed in his ears without a trace of emotion, and a majestic pressure pressed him so hard that he couldn't straighten his body.
"All the children of the Wu Lu clan should be tempered from a young age and enter the barbarian at the age of eight, and they must not be violated. Lu Chen replied honestly, this atmosphere is not right.
"Have you ever quenched your body?" the Grand Elder continued to ask.
"Nope. This is something that the whole cottage knows, but at this time, it has to answer in a proper manner.
"Before, I thought that you were born with a vision and decided to avoid the pain of your body, but now that you are about to turn eight years old, what should you do?"
Lu Chen was silent, the old man mentioned this matter last night, he didn't think about this problem, but he hadn't come up with a result yet, but he didn't expect to be pulled to the ancestral hall today, how did he answer, it is not a fun thing to activate the muscles in the process of quenching, and he has more than enough strength to do this.
"Lu Chen, listen!"
"Eight years old is approaching, are you willing to learn from the barbarian?" the Great Elder let out a soft voice, which shook his ears for a while.
Hearing the words of the Great Elder, Lu Chen was stunned for a moment, and then his heart beat violently, this is ...... Lu Shi asked, this is going to be real!!
"Eight years old is approaching, are you willing to learn from barbarians?" the Great Elder shouted again, his voice loud and deafening.
Lu Chen panicked, and asked the second question, how would he answer.
"Lu Chen! Eight years old is approaching!Can you learn to be a barbarian !!" The third voice sounded, the sound was like a bell, and the huge sound caused the surrounding vitality to be turbulent, and the tablet on the incense cage sounded, as if hundreds of people were questioning at the same time, can they be willing to learn from the barbarian, but they are willing to learn from the barbarian.
The clay sculpture of the ancestors is current, and he can't help it.
"Yes. Lu Chen spit out the word with difficulty and sat down on the futon weakly, it's over, the good days are over.
"Whew. Several old men glanced at each other, and they couldn't help but exhale a breath of turbidity.
If they don't answer the three questions, the clan punishment will be added, and they are really afraid that Lu Chen will not answer.
"Little Heiwa, don't blame the grandfather for forcing you, the clan rules are strict, as a child of the Lu family, no one is exempt. The Great Elder slowed down his tone as much as possible, in fact, he was more nervous than anyone else just now, and even used a heart-shaking spell at the end. The clan punishment has not been issued for a hundred years, and the alien has not been shown for a thousand years, so he doesn't want to produce any demon moths.
Lu Chen secretly smiled bitterly, did he dare to answer a word, thinking about the content of the clan punishment, he couldn't help but shudder, plus Lu Shi's three questions, he didn't dare to pretend that he didn't hear and didn't answer, hey, this is forcing Liangshan.
"Since you are willing to learn from barbarism, then come with me. The second elder stroked his shirt and got up.
"Isn't there a few days left to be eight years old?" Lu Chen said, this is not a violation of the clan rules, and the interests are all fought for by themselves, whether it is in this life or the previous life.
The second elder looked back at Lu Chen, and he didn't speak, just stared silently.
Lu Chen couldn't help but get goosebumps on his skin, he repeatedly suspected that the second elder was the so-called facial paralysis, and he had never seen other expressions on his cold and cold face, especially the emotionless eyes, like a cold sword, which kept poking and poking at him.
Hey, no matter which life it is, violence can solve a lot of problems, Lu Chen shrunk his neck and walked over.
In the basement of the ancestral hall, in a stone room, several oil lamps emitted a dim glow. Stepping into this place again, Lu Chen couldn't help but sigh a little. This is the inheritance place of Lujiazhai, which contains countless unique treasures. He was allowed to come in as a child, but was kicked out because of something.
Rows of bookshelves, because of age, exude a smell of decay. Lu Chen took out a copy on the shelf, the pages were a little yellowed, "Ancient Fierce Beasts", Lu Chen smiled, now it is a wild calendar, where are there any ancient fierce beasts, but I heard that some descendants of ancient fierce beasts have gathered in the depths of the 100,000 mountains, but I just heard about it.
"The books here are the work of our ancestors, and you shouldn't have thrown them away in the first place. The second elder's cold voice came, and Lu Chen suddenly felt that he had eaten a popsicle in the winter.
He let out a sigh of relief, so that he felt a little warmer, in fact, he didn't mean it at the beginning, but in his previous life, he was used to reading one book and losing one, and now he is a little embarrassed to think about it, after all, these are the treasure bumps of the elders, and the elders still expect to pass them on.
"Not anymore. Lu Chen replied in a low voice.
"It's good to know what is wrong, the books here only record the experiences and insights of the ancestors of the past generations, and it is not enough to read these if you want to enter the barbarians. ”。
After the second elder finished speaking, he walked over to the oil lamps, and the dim oil lamps began to change positions. Only then did Lu Chen realize that the oil lamp fixed on the wall could actually be moved.
"Squeak...... A ......stone door slowly opened, revealing the secret room behind.
"Come in. The Second Elder stepped into the secret room and instructed Lu Chen.
After carefully placing the books in his hand, he entered the secret room, and just now he apologized, and the mistake of littering books could not be committed immediately.
The chamber was much smaller than the stone chamber outside, but it was very empty, with only a few stone mounds in the middle, each with a brown chest on it.
The second elder stepped forward to open one of the 1-meter-long and wide boxes, and a folded earthy yellow animal skin lay quietly inside.
"This is a secret book of demon literature that our Lu clan has compiled for generations, and from now on, you will follow me to learn demon literature. ”。
Lu Chen looked at the animal skin, Demon Wen, it is not that the treasure of heaven and earth cannot be carried, but he didn't expect this inconspicuous animal skin to be a treasure.
Wait, the second elder just said to follow him to learn the demon script?" "Second grandfather, wait until I learn the brute technique and then learn the corresponding demon script......."
"There's a lot of nonsense, just let you learn it. Before Lu Chen could finish speaking, the Second Elder interrupted him coldly.
The corners of Lu Chen's mouth twitched, there are countless demon texts in the world, no one dares to say that they have learned everything, as long as they understand the corresponding few demon texts to learn brute skills, and the animal skin in front of him is so big, the second elder is going to teach him one by one?
But reasoning with the second elder? Lu Chen was worried, so forget it, don't ignore it and freeze himself to death without finishing speaking.
