Chapter 4 Liu Changsheng
Liu Lao's house was made of huge stones, very open, and built next to the broken trees, and at this time it was full of fierce beasts, like a small mountain.
The bright red beast blood stained the land next to the stone house, flowing along the ground, red and gorgeous, coupled with the thick and long animal hair of the giant beast, the scales of the cold light and the hideous giant horns, etc., it was shocking, and there was a tragic aura of the fierce beast in the wilderness.
Under the leadership of Lin Zhantian, the men, women and children of Lin Village knelt down around the old man, which was a serious process, and it was also a customary practice, which had to be carried out every time he returned from hunting.
The old man was as calm as usual, and didn't react much, as before, there was not too much fluctuation in his expression, but many villagers didn't dare to be disrespectful in the slightest!
Maybe it was because of the pious attitude of the people in Lin Village, but after a while, the old man reacted, looked at Lin Zhantian and the others indifferently, and then glanced at a few beasts on the ground that looked huge.
Seeing this, Lin Zhantian and the others also breathed a sigh of relief, and resurfaced with a happy smile, so after a while, they began to move the corpses of these fierce beasts, preparing to bleed and cut them.
"For many years, Grandpa Liu hasn't instructed us once, do we still need to surround him every time?" a teenager muttered quietly.
"What are you talking about, stinky boy!" his father glared at Brass Bell with wide eyes, and picked up his fan-sized hand to beat him.
Lin Zhantian waved his hand, stopped, and said softly: "This is not a visit, it is the clansmen praying to the guardian god of our Lin Village and asking him for guidance."
If we treat him with sincerity, he will protect our village. ”
The young man's face turned red, and he hurriedly said: "Patriarch Uncle, I am not insincere, I just feel that it seems that Grandpa Liu does not need these great beasts of the Great Wilderness of ours? ”
"It's good that my mind arrives. Lin Zhantian patted him on the shoulder and explained attentively.
The blood and flesh of the fierce beasts can strengthen the physique of the clansmen and children, Lin Zhantian and the clansmen, this is why they often pray sincerely, hoping to let Liu Lao guide them which fierce beasts are more helpful to the children of the clansmen", this is also the survival ability that people who have lived in the mountains since ancient times must master.
Other tribes also have the kind of "sacrificial spirits or guardian beasts that are sacrificed and offered", referred to as "village guards, deterring fierce beasts in the wilderness."
The old people in the clan still remember that there was no Liu Bo in Lin Village a few decades ago, and at that time, Lin Village also sacrificed a guardian sacrifice spirit, which was a strange flower, and every time a sacrifice was offered, it would lose most of its essence blood and be absorbed by it.
It wasn't until late one night that Liu Lao came, and the strange flower chose to go away. That's how things change.
Thinking of that rainy night back then, the old man in the clan was a little dazed, when he was still a teenager, and he had witnessed that shocking and terrible picture with his own eyes.
In the middle of that night, lightning and thunder roared, heavy rain was majestic, the storm was violent to the extreme, the mountains were all thundered and lightning collapsed, the mountain torrent was like the sea, the fierce beasts were running wildly, and the scene was terrifying.
It was at that time that a giant humanoid bone with a flash of thunder appeared in the clouds, bathed in the sea of thunder, the thick lightning that swirled around the mountains, and thousands of thunderbolts turned into blazing chains, piercing the entire sky, as if fighting with something.
Eventually, the giant skeleton snapped, blackened, and shrunk to its current size, and fell down into the forest village, as the lightning disappeared and the downpour receded. The Qihua that was sacrificed and offered in the village that night left.
Every time he thought about it, the old man's heart trembled, Liu Lao did not come from other big tribes or mountains and rivers, but landed from the sky, and was damaged by endless thunder and lightning, and few people in the village knew. The old man vaguely remembered that before the thunder disappeared, there were more than thousands of miles away from the outer heavens, as if someone said, "It is worthy of being an immortal god, you were seriously injured by a sneak attack by your beloved disciple, and you can also hurt the deity, and you have fought until now..."
In the first few decades, it was scorched black, without any vitality, just a crystal skeleton shining with thunder, until ten years ago, it grew blood and flesh, and became the Liu Bo who likes to fish by the river today, but he basically does not communicate with the people of Lin Village.
"Little Piwa, be careful, it's rare to harvest these fierce beasts, their blood essence, tendons and veins and some bones are precious and amazing, don't lose the essence. Lin Zhantian came back to his senses and admonished.
Huo Huo, the young and middle-aged silver knife in the clan, was cutting the giant beast, making a sonorous sound from time to time, sparks splashing everywhere, and the bones of the giant beast were amazingly hard.
Someone had already prepared a large pottery jar to receive the blood essence that was kept in the special parts of the beast's body, which was an excellent blood tonic medicine, very rare.
This pile of beast corpses is the most precious with half-blood Pixiu, although it is only a descendant, far less than Pixiu with pure blood, but it also contains some true blood, and its value is amazing.
It's been more than two years since the last time I caught a half-blooded Pixiu, they are too ferocious and powerful, they can destroy the life of a strong man with one claw, it's really hard to deal with, and the ferocity is amazing.
It can be said that the abundance of this harvest is staggering.
"Well, the true blood retained in the horns of this two-headed fire rhino is also extremely amazing, no worse than that Pixiu!" An old man personally operated the knife, unraveling the flesh and blood that was as hard as gold and stone under the rhino horns, and a stream of true blood as red as fire flowed.
Suddenly, the blood turned into a red glow, and a palm-long two-headed fire rhinoceros appeared, all red, lifelike, and roaring angrily.
"Good thing, this true blood is extremely medicinal and not worse than that Pixiu!" the old man who handled the knife laughed, and quickly collected the rhino blood in the clay pot, firmly sealing the mouth of the jar.
"Patriarch, the horn of this dragon elephant is also a good thing, it was already dying when we found it, otherwise it really couldn't be cleaned up. A young man said.
Lin Zhantian nodded and said, "It's really rare, the pair of dragon horns on its head have been growing for some years, and if they are carefully chiseled down, they are rare bone mending pills." ”
"This tendon of the beast's one-legged is so tough, it can be cut with an axe. ”
"It's all good stuff. Boys, be careful, don't spoil the blood on the python's wings!"
The people were full of joy and smiles.
Only a group of children shrank their necks and ran away like smoke, because they knew that most of these so-called blood and bone medicines would be used on their bodies, and they would start to "suffer" again.
It wasn't until half an hour later that the "treasure medicine" growing on the beast's body was exhausted, Lin Zhantian and several old men nodded with satisfaction, took away those clay pots, and took them to dispose of.
"So much prey, a little pickled for a while, then smoked and roasted and made into a part of jerky. The experienced old man spoke.
There are so many beasts piled up like a hill that the whole village can't eat them all for many days, and if they rot, it's really a waste, and it must not be tolerated for the villagers who are in some shortage of food.
The women of all families began to step forward to divide the meat, all with sincere smiles, and the men who were worried about going out earlier have not only returned safely, but also reaped so abundantly, which is the best gift from God.
The smoke curls from the cooking in each house, and after half an hour, the smell of meat spreads, and the pieces of meat boiled in the iron pot are about to rot, and the children can't wait. And the beast meat roasted on the fire also began to become golden and buttery, dripping grease, falling in the fire and sizzling, those strong men could not help it, and began to tear the meat with their hands, biting their mouths full of juice, and their appetites were great.
"Baby, this is Pixiu meat, eating more will make you stronger, it is a rare treasured meat. ”
"Boy, eat more, this is the meat of the two-headed rhinoceros, make up more to make your skin and bones as strong as iron, don't eat the most useless tree pork." ”
All kinds of beasts have become the most sumptuous food for the villagers in the evening, and the tempting smell of meat wafts into the streets, arousing people's appetites, bursts of laughter are heard, and the whole village is in a festive color.
