Volume 1 The World in the Mirror Chapter 2 The Baptism of the Pulse

Fortunately, there was no accident, and the adults who came to look for it in the village just blamed Jiang Yu for a few words, but the second dog and the leather monkey were not so lucky, and they were picked up by their respective fathers and slapped their butts.

The father of the little leather monkey is a strong black man, and the people in the village call him Uncle Hei, and he seems to hit him the hardest, but Jiang Yu knows that Uncle Hei is reluctant to hit this naughty egg with a heavy hand when he sees the little leather monkey winking at him. It's just that the second dog is not so lucky, and he was beaten by Tie Qiangpu's big hand, and it seems that he has suffered a crime.

Under the expectation of everyone in the village, everyone returned safely, and several respected old people in the village became solemn after listening to the words of Tie Qiang and Uncle Hei, and even a few women who were preparing dinner did not care about coming over.

The big forest is too dangerous, once you go deeper, it will be full of unknowns and dangers, and you may be worried about your life in the next moment. These things have happened in the village, thinking that when there is no food to eat in winter, the prime of life in the village will venture to hunt in the big forest, and they will often be attacked by some inexplicable creatures, and even several times people have lost their lives because of this.

However, although the three troublemakers had caused trouble today, fortunately there was no danger, and after a few old men blamed them, they began to look at the group of teenagers kindly. There are only more than 20 households in the village, and every teenager and girl is the hope of the future.

"By the way, Grandpa Xi, today I and the little leather monkey and the second dog saw a person flying in the clouds at a high altitude, and he was singing poems in his mouth, which seemed to be related to immortals. And what is the immortal?"

The old man called Grandpa Xi was already very old, and his face was full of dense lines, like a stone carving. He is the oldest in the village, highly respected, and the village chief of Xiaoshi Village. He is always the most kind and kind to this group of teenagers, and he never blames these troublemakers when they are naughty, and the children are the closest to him.

The old village chief seemed to be unimpressed, and said with a smile: "How can there be any immortals in this world, if there are any, the old generation characters have already told you about it?

The old man said so, and the teenagers naturally didn't doubt it, as for the fact that Uncle Dazhu asked them to ask the goddess about it before, Jiang Yu and the two dogs had already forgotten about it. The goddess was usually secretive, and when they were young, they had sneaked into the goddess's house once and never dared to approach her again.

"Alright, you monkeys should study hard. Now is the time to grow your body, and you will be able to be as strong as your father and uncle. ”

During this time, the old people in the village boiled a large number of unknown pastes with stone tripods for them every evening, which contained some rare medicinal materials, but what frightened the children the most was that there would be some corpses of murderous creatures inside.

The most unlucky is Dazhu's son Tu Ni, who used to be the head of the "Four Heavenly Kings" who was the most troublesome in the village, and he was the most energetic in mischievous on weekdays, but since he was thrown into the ding and caught a red wind snake that was not dead, he rarely jumped out like before. According to Aunt Dazhu, after the mud crawled out of the ding, he shivered all night, and the whole back was as cold as ice water, which was really scary.

"Grandpa Xi, what is there to soak in the paste in this ding, I don't feel much strength after soaking, and it's weird and scary, why don't you soak it today?"

Needless to say, it will definitely be his turn to be the first to enter the ding today. The other troublemakers were staring at the sidelines, knowing that it was almost impossible to get the older generation to give up and let them soak in the ding, and if the little leather monkey escaped, then it would be the turn of one of them to "explore", which was not worth it.

And Grandpa Xi, who is usually very kind, has now become very solemn, and after waiting for a few strong men to place the stone ding, he said: "Today is different from the past, the youngest of the six children, Little Leather Monkey, Ergouzi, Little Yuzi, Little Tail, Yellow Big Head, and Grassroots, has turned ten years old, and it is time to carry out the most important first pulse baptism in life." There are not many resources in the village, so you can only wait for the youngest of your generation to reach the age of ten before you can be baptized together, but fortunately, the eldest little leather monkey is only thirteen years old, and there is still a distance from the cut-off of fifteen years old, which will not affect your cultivation in the future, so there is no need to worry. ”

"Grandpa Xi, can you tell us what's the use of opening the pulse?" a timid child asked, his voice trembling a little as he spoke, obviously summoning up great courage to ask. This child is a teenager from the Huang family in the village, because the firstborn is much older than other teenagers, so he has the nickname Huang Datou.

"The baptism of opening the pulse is the most important stage of your cultivation, and it is also the most important cornerstone for you to embark on the path of cultivation. The amount of opening determines your own potential, and the more you open, the greater your potential. Of course, the various uses of opening the pulse do not stop there, and you need to slowly realize it. ”

"But Grandpa Xi, my father has also experienced the baptism of opening the pulse, he has opened more pulses than Uncle Dazhu, and I haven't seen him stronger than Uncle Dazhu. ”

Hearing this, Uncle Hei, the father of the little leather monkey, suddenly turned black, and his face, which was already black enough, suddenly looked like a piece of black charcoal.

An old man next to him immediately rewarded the little leather monkey with a brain meltdown, and shouted: "Opening the pulse can only determine the innate potential, and the acquired strength must be obtained by your own efforts, and opening the pulse can only prove the potential but does not indicate that the future strength will be stronger." Besides, your father's strength is slightly inferior to Dazhu, and it is also because of the secret illness left behind by the hunting in the past few years to protect the rest of the village, which caused his cultivation to be hindered. However, in the past few years, the dark disease has slowly subsided, and in time, your father's strength will still recover as before. ”

The little leather monkey was originally an excuse to escape from entering Shiding, but he didn't expect that his father had been injured a few years ago, and the big forest was full of fatal dangers, and his father was not lightly injured. Thinking of this, looking at his father's eyes were suddenly full of shame and apology, and his head was raised high because he had been knocked out of the head, and his eyes were full of pride. The villagers are very simple and kind, and those who protect the rest of the village are heroes of the village, which is worthy of everyone's admiration.

"Okay, the medicinal materials in the stone tripod are almost ready, now is the time when the medicinal power begins to evaporate, let's all enter the tripod together and soak it, see how your generation is, don't be compared to the fathers! Come, open the tripod! Remember, stay in the tripod for at least half an hour, and stay in the tripod for at most an hour will let you come out." The longer you stay, the more good it gets!"

With the order of the old village chief, several strong men lifted the lid of the tripod, and suddenly a strong medicinal fragrance came to the face, which made people indulge in it.

This time it was not like the medicine boiled before, and a lot of medicinal materials treasured in the village were placed, including twenty-year-old Lu Ling Cao, Lingshi Grass born in the depths of the big forest, Deer Spirit Paste containing essence, and a few three-color flowers, medicinal stone powder, wind leopard heart, and sword and tiger heart blood that are extremely difficult to see. The medicinal fragrance was so strong that even the old men of several grades couldn't help nodding their heads, very satisfied.

Without waiting for a few teenagers to flee from the wind as in the past, the adults next to them threw them directly into the ding like carrying chicken cubs, and after a while, the teenagers shouted heart-rending from the ding. The women were a little worried, but the big men next to them did not have the slightest melancholy, but were full of anticipation.

"If you make any more noise and make it annoying, I'll cover you with the lid and let you scream inside. Uncle Hei Wushi had a black face and knocked a few mischievous tricksters next to him. Hearing this, there was a sudden silence inside.

An old man came up and stared at them, and his mouth fell: "You guys stay in it and absorb the medicinal power, like your fathers, how can they have such treatment back then, they all washed their bodies with Lu Ling grass that was less than ten years old, and there were no three-color anther stone powder at that time, and I will take you out if you don't know how to be blessed when you are reborn in the blessing!"

This old man has a hot temper, and the young people in the village are the most jealous, and when they see him intimidating, they believe it and don't dare to mess around anymore, and they all obediently soak in it. It's just that although the medicinal materials boiled this time are very valuable, Jiang Yu and the other teenagers feel as if there are thousands of ants swimming around their bodies, and after a while, these ants seem to crawl into the body, from the center of the foot to the heart, and then to the head, the whole person is like being in a world that constantly reverberates with a buzzing sound, which is extremely uncomfortable.

The adults were strictly guarded on the side, and after waiting for most of the hour, the lightest little tail of the grade was the first to stand up, and shouted and crawled out of the ding, this time the fathers did not stop again, but watched with care. Immediately afterwards, Huang Datou and the little leather monkey also seemed to be affected and crawled out of it. One of them was stained with the fragrance of medicine, and when I looked closely, I found that they were all overflowing with a faint luster, full of mystery.

Now there are still Jiang Yu, Ergouzi, and grassroots in Dingzhong who are suffering, in fact, the three of them are very uncomfortable, and every time they hold on, they will be more uncomfortable. But the teenagers did not admit defeat at this time, and seemed to want to persevere to the end, and be the last one to come out under the gaze of everyone, and accept the praise of the old man and his father.

But at this time, it was not as itchy as it was at the beginning, just like a crawling ant, Jiang Yu faintly felt that the soles of his feet seemed to be cracked, and then sprinkled with lime pain, and slowly this pain began to spread to the rest of his body. His legs, hands, lungs and head went down to his head, and then it seemed like someone was tearing his wounds, and he almost couldn't suppress his desire to climb out of the ding, but when he thought of the old village chief's words, he still endured it. The little boy has a simple temperament and only has the strength to not admit defeat.

When there was only a quarter of an hour left, the second dog also crawled out of it, muttering black water in his mouth, the whole person was black, and the innermost strange scream: "I'm scared to death, I saw a strange monster running towards me, and it was fierce." The people in the village couldn't help laughing, their faces were full of approval, it was really not easy for Ergouzi to persist for so long, and even his father Tie Qiang couldn't help but pat him on the shoulder and promise to reward him.

After a while, an hour came, and the old village chief had a smile on his face, and said to the grassroots and Jiang Yu who were still in the ding: "The hour has come, you two can come out." The rest of the village rushed forward, waiting for the two teenagers to come out. The children have all performed well tonight, which will be of great benefit to their future cultivation.

The grassroots staggered out a hand from the ding, at this time he was too weak, usually in the ding for half an hour is just uncomfortable, but today he was almost tossed to death, fortunately, the people in the village are beside him, although he is in pain but not worried, he finally survived to the end, his face is full of pride. The other children also stepped forward to pull him, and the children were very rustic, and did not envy the boy who behaved better than them.

The little leather monkey was the most anxious, and when the grassroots came out, he stepped forward and asked: "Caogen, have you experienced anything, but the second dog saw a monster chasing him." ”

Grassroots is a simple-looking little fat man, usually a little shy, asked by the bold little leather monkey, his face was slightly embarrassed, but he still told the truth and said: "It's nothing."

I experienced a lot, but I felt extremely difficult, and in the end, the pain was unbearable, and I almost gave up. After hearing this, the other teenagers were a little frustrated, thinking that the longer they stayed, the more different they would be, maybe they could meet the ancient green dragon and phoenix and other divine beasts, and then maybe they would soar into the sky. However, seeing that although the grass roots were covered with ointment, they were overflowing with light, and they were obviously deeply benefited, so they began to envy again.

"Hey, what about Xiao Yuzi, why hasn't he come out yet?" A young man found that Jiang Yu had not yet come out of the Ding, diverted everyone's attention, and put it into the Ding, the stone Ding was too high, everyone could not see the inside, the big pillar was the first to climb up, and saw Jiang Yu in it with his eyes closed, and seemed to be asleep, so he took him out under his armpit.

After a while, he was woken up, and the old people looked concerned, worried that something would go wrong, so today would not be a happy day. In the noisy greetings of everyone, Jiang Yu finally woke up slowly, although he was exhausted at the moment, his eyes were full of energy and energy. Knowing that he was fine, the old village chief signaled everyone to stop the noise and asked him about his experience.

Jiang Yu still had palpitations when he recalled it, and he spit out a few mouthfuls of the potion he had accidentally swallowed before he could speak. "At first, I just had itching on the soles of my feet, then the soles of my feet were like ants, and then I felt like I had wounds all over my body, and I was constantly torn apart, which was very uncomfortable. Then, as if I was in the middle of chaos, a hand was tearing my ribs apart, pulling them out, and then I lost consciousness. "This experience is not as good as the second dog, a few teenagers chattered, although their mouths were muttering, their hands began to touch and pinch him, as if to compare what is different from himself.

"Okay, all six of you are standing together, and the next step is to start baptizing your pulse, which will be the time to decide your potential. An old man began to speak, and motioned to Dazhu Tieqiang and a few other strong men to go to the village temple to get ancient artifacts. Only Grandpa Xi on the side fell into contemplation on his face, as if he had thought of something.
