Volume 1 The World in the Mirror Chapter 3 The teenagers of this generation
The temple is the most solemn place in the village, where the ancestors are enshrined and incense burns all day long. On weekdays, only the respected elderly in the village can enter and leave freely, and others are not allowed to enter at will, otherwise they will be severely fined. In addition to the spiritual seats dedicated to the ancestors, there are also extremely valuable ancient artifacts in the village. There are ancient vessels used for sacrifices, ancient vessels used for large-scale hunting and prayer, and the ancient utensils needed today are used for opening the vein and baptism.
After a while, the four strong men in the village moved out the ancient utensils used for the baptism of the pulse, although there were four strong men, but they walked very slowly, and the big feet stepped on the ground and left thick footprints, which shows the weight of this ancient vessel. With Da Zhuang's shout, the four of them worked together to place the ancient artifacts in the center of the courtyard, and with a "boom" sound, the dust suddenly rose high and dispersed around the courtyard.
When the dust settled, the teenagers took a closer look and found that it was a bronze vessel with a height of a bull's head, a square horizontal plate similar to a wooden door at the bottom, and a base as large as two heads at the bottom.
The old village chief walked forward alone, climbed up along the ladder next to the ancient artifact, grabbed the left horn of the bull's head with one hand, twisted it vigorously, only listened to a short and piercing sound, the bull's head slowly opened its mouth, spit out a bead from it, and a crisp sound fell into the groove under the square transverse plate, and then the transverse plate slowly sank, and a recessed iron plate appeared inside, which happened to be a standing human-shaped area, and the cow's mouth was flowing water, constantly washing the base.
"Without further ado, stand in this humanoid area one by one and baptize the pulse!" As the old village chief gave an order, the six teenagers were eager to try.
The little leather monkey rushed up first, and the whole body was close to the humanoid area, and with the washing of the water, the originally black body was immediately washed away, and the whole person was more agile and lively than usual. The originally tired face became very energetic after being baptized, which made the other five teenagers envious.
"Alright, the baptism is over, little leather monkey, you can come out. It seemed that there was some reluctance to realize just now, the little leather monkey slowly walked out of it, several old people blew their noses and glared and immediately rushed up to observe, seeing that there were several areas in the humanoid area flashing shiny, an old man couldn't help but stroke his beard and laugh, and announced loudly: "The little leather monkey opened his feet, hands and head with a total of five veins, and it is a rare good seedling, haha, the young generation in the village has the most open pulses, that is, Da Zhuang is also a five-vein, and the little skin monkey has cultivated over time, and it is strong enough to call it a big and strong." Come on, next!"
The next one is Huang Datou, after some baptism, it was verified that the four veins were opened, although it was slightly inferior to the little skin monkey, but it also made the villagers extremely satisfied. Then there is Little Tail, this is the youngest open-pulse boy in the village, he is very smart on weekdays, but he is a good child, not like the second dog Jiang Yu is mischievous like them, and he is deeply loved by the villagers.
After the little tail came out, the old people in the village rushed up one by one as if they were about to break their heads, and this time even the old village chief was a little shocked, and said tremblingly: "Little tail, this child, has opened seven veins!"
"What?!" Several strong men on the periphery were shocked, they hadn't heard of anyone in the village who had opened the sixth vein since they grew up, and at this time they were shocked to find that the little tail had opened the seventh vein.
You must know that although the old people say that although the number of open pulses cannot completely determine a person's future cultivation, when a person's talent reaches a certain level, it is really faster than others taking the elixir to cultivate.
Several old people kept looking at the little tail, their faces were full of kind smiles, and from time to time there were old people moving their hands and feet, constantly measuring the muscles and bones of the little tail with their hands, which caused him to be ashamed for a while.
"Okay, don't delay the baptism, otherwise it will be bad if the bull's head drips and stops, come to the next one!" Although the old man was extremely happy, he was still full of reason and called the next young grassroots.
"The next two dogs. An old man began to punish the troublemaker, and brought him to the ancient artifact like a chicken, and pushed him in.
At this time, the second dog is still a little naughty, several teenagers of the same age have performed well before, which makes him a little pressure, although he usually has no bad intentions, but at this time, who doesn't want to behave well in front of the older one and the parents, if there is less pulse, it will not be a shame. He closed his eyes in apprehension and waited for the arrangement of fate.
It seemed that after a long time, he felt that someone was pulling him, and when he opened his eyes, he saw that an old man was impatient, blowing his beard and pulling him out, and his mouth was broken: "Hurry up, there is still a little encounter, don't delay people to open their pulses." ”
Although the mouth was like this, the old man was the first to occupy the most advantageous position after pulling him out, and the other old people pushed and pushed him out without being able to squeeze him out, so he couldn't help but feel relieved, brushed his beard with one hand, and counted with the other finger: "One pulse, two pulses...... Seven veins?!" As if he didn't believe his fingers, the old man began to gesture again, and another old man who was anxious announced loudly: "God bless me in Xiaoshi Village, the troublemaker of Ergouzi actually opened the seven veins, I really can't imagine it." ”
"Eh, old man Li, what do you mean, my grandson and Ergouzi have been qualified since he was a child, but he has only opened seven veins, what is there to question!" an old man in a green shirt spat and kept counting the stars. Old man Li didn't eat dry rice either, so he immediately shot back: "Yo, who just kept talking about his grandson's hatred of iron and steel, and he was worried about his death, but he showed it off to me at this time." ”
Ergouzi's grandfather was proud, held his head high and said, "I'm modest, how can you understand my mind." ”
"Ahh ”
The women of the village could not help but hide their ears, and the old men quarreled, and the women of the village could not compare even if they immediately turned into shrews.
"Okay, Xiaoyuzi, come on, don't miss the opportunity. The old village chief pulled Jiang Yu and motioned for him to go to the baptism immediately.
Originally, Jiang Yu was the most anxious, but in the end, he calmed down, walked to the humanoid area and imprinted his body, and let the cow's head drip and wash his body. In the end, the old people in the village were not in a hurry, today is really a good sign, the first five children are all good, and they are very satisfied. Take 10,000 steps back, even if Jiang Yu doesn't open a single vein, the old people will not be annoyed, but will go to comfort him.
Just when Jiang Yu imprinted his body, the entire ancient artifact seemed to shake invisibly, as if a piece of brilliance was leaking out of Jiang Yu's body. However, it did not surprise the old people, because there were people who had this phenomenon in the past during baptism, and at that time they thought that there was a vision, a genius and a young man with a pulse, but it turned out that it was not, so it was not surprising to the old people who were used to seeing the wind and waves.
At this time, Jiang Yu felt that his body seemed to be in an unknown place, the soles of his feet, legs, hands, and brain all had a heat emitting from it, and his body was being hit by an unknown air current, as if he was about to break some kind of barrier. Slowly, these colliding aircurrents seem to have a common goal, and they all rush towards their own heart area, and several air currents seem to be entangled, fighting, and blending, and they want to converge into a cyclone in the heart area, hovering, accumulating, and rising and falling in the heart area.
From the positive point of view, Jiang Yu seems to be in a state at this time, the whole person is solemn, and it seems to condense a momentum in his body invisibly, his body exudes a faint luster, but unlike other teenagers, the luster on his body is in a silk line, as if he is swimming along a certain rule, communicating some mysterious connection with the body.
However, the communication that was supposed to be natural and natural did not come to fruition in the end, and at a certain moment when it gathered in the heart, these strands of luster eventually parted ways, retreated to their respective sources, and disappeared.
The old people were commenting and whispering to each other, they had never seen such a phenomenon before, and they exchanged their opinions with each other. It wasn't until Jiang Yu set up everything around him that he began to rush forward like a crazy old man again. But in the humanoid area, the feet, legs, hands, and head area all flashed with wisps of luster, and these lusters were mysteriously connected to the heart area, as if they wanted to converge, but in the end, it seemed to encounter an obstacle, and the heart area was inexplicably interrupted.
"Today's Xiaoshi Village is a great omen, Xiao Yuzi has also opened a full seven veins. My Xiaoshi Village was blessed by God, and there were three children who opened the seven veins, and three who also opened the four, five, or six veins, and the generation of the teenagers was destined to be brilliant in the mountains. Some old people were excited and announced loudly, causing other old people and strong men in the village to be in a stirring mood, shaking hands to calm the tremors in their hearts.
"Hey, no, Xiao Yuzi is afraid that he has opened the eight veins?!" An old man who approached him looked carefully, staring at the heart area and couldn't help but look at it, and his entire cloudy eyes became bright.
"You see, although the other seven veins do not converge in the heart area, the heart veins in the heart area are still flashing with a faint and invisible luster, which is faintly the momentum of opening the eight veins. ”
The other old people on the outskirts of the village were a little crazy, and they all held their big heads with snowflakes, squeezing their heads to see what was going on. At this moment, a dilapidated small grass hut at the end of Xiaoshi Village is also rarely lit up, which looks mysterious and treacherous, as if there is a pair of dark eyes watching the scene of the baptism.
