Chapter 13: Leaving Home
When Lieshan Ember returned home after taking care of things, it was already night, and his wife Jiang Ji and two sons were waiting for him at the dinner table.
Hong Jun, who was beating, looked as usual, but Lie Shanfeng, who had nothing to do with him, looked a little nervous, buried his head in nibbling on fruit, and didn't dare to look up at his father.
"What's going on, what did the father and son of Lieshan Liao say?" Jiang Xi asked with a cold face. She had already heard about today's events, especially the two words scolded by Lieshan Weld's mouth, which made her feel extremely bad, if it weren't for the overall situation, she would have gone out to beat Lieshan Weld again.
Lieshan Ember knows his wife's temper, she seems to be gentle, but once she gets angry, she is even a little scared of herself, and she is a big man, and she never takes anyone else in her eyes except for her family. He shook his head helplessly, and said: "Lie Shan Liao has already apologized to me, and his kid was also seriously injured by Hong Jun, don't think about getting out of bed for two months, even if you have learned a lesson, you don't make trouble for me anymore." ”
"Hmph! How can two months be enough, at least let him lie down for half a year. ”
Jiang Xi was still a little dissatisfied, and turned to Hong Jun angrily: "Son, if anyone dares to chew the root of his tongue in the future, you will beat him to death, and I will be responsible for the accident." ”
"Yes, Mother. Hong Jun knew that his mother was just talking angry, so he casually agreed.
Looking at this pair of lawless mother and son, Lieshan Ember was angry and funny, and suddenly thought of something, and said in surprise: "Hong Jun, I haven't asked much in the past few years, how many levels have you practiced in the Great Desolation Burning Body?
At the beginning, Hong Jun infiltrated the Chiyan Department to stun Lieshan Liao, and Lieshan Ember was very clear about this matter, but he didn't ask for specific details, and thought that Hong Jun had succeeded after a hard fight. However, judging from today's situation, the gap between the two is so big that I am afraid it is not what I imagined.
"A few months ago it was the second peak. ”
Hong Jun replied lightly, as if he had said something very ordinary, and continued to eat barbecue in his mouth.
The family seemed to be frozen, looking at Hong Jun blankly, especially the youngest Lie Shanfeng, his eyes were almost protruding, and the food in his hand fell on the table unconsciously.
Lie Shan Feng is only ten years old this year, and he has been cultivating the Great Wilderness Burning Body Sutra for two years, but he is still far from practicing to become the first heavy skin, and he still has no clue, in his young heart, there is nothing more difficult in the world. Before the age of twenty, if you can practice the first level, you are already blessed by the gods.
However, now that the eldest brother said that he had reached the second peak at the age of fifteen, Lie Shan Feng was shocked at the same time, but also strongly hit his self-confidence.
For a moment, Lie Shan Feng looked very depressed, and he didn't know what the food in his mouth tasted like, like chewing wax.
Burning Mountain Ember barely came back to his senses, and muttered in his mouth: "At the age of fifteen, you will reach the second peak level, isn't that about to catch up with me? "His Great Desolation Body Burning Sutra is the third realm, and it has been many years, and there is still a long time before he breaks through.
Jiang Ji sighed, thinking how good it would be for Hong Jun to be able to cultivate internal strength!
Suddenly, Lieshan Ember laughed and said proudly: "This time the high priest is really blind, when I took you to read and write that year, he also said that you can't cultivate! It's really a big joke, if you can't cultivate, who else in the entire Lieshan clan is qualified to cultivate?"
Hong Jun was silent, the High Priest of the Heart Dao was actually not mistaken, if it weren't for the outlier of the Qinglian Treasure Jian, he would still be struggling under the first weight.
"Father, I just happened to tell you something. Hong Jun took this opportunity to say his plan: "I've been stuck at the second peak for a few months, and I haven't been able to break through, so I want to go into the wilderness alone to practice." ”
The experience is just an excuse, in fact, Hong Jun wants to find something containing energy in the Great Wilderness and transform it into Vulcan Ointment, otherwise with his extremely poor bloodline qualifications, he may not be able to break through in his life.
"No, I can't. ”
Before Lieshan could reply, Jiang Xi shook his head again and again to object: "There are many dangers in the Great Wilderness, there are countless poisonous snakes and beasts, not to mention those terrible wild beasts, even your father does not dare to leave the tribe alone and enter the Great Wilderness, even if your strength is good, it will be in vain." ”
Jiang Ji's face was resolute, she was originally because she didn't know the height of the sky, she ran from Dachu to the Great Wilderness to practice, and she traveled with the family caravan, but she was still seriously injured and fell to the Shaoyan Department.
Therefore, she did not let her son make the same mistake and repeat the mistakes of the past.
Hong Jun was suddenly a little embarrassed, he knew his mother's concerns, if there was anyone in this world who could change his mind, it was only his mother Jiang Xi, even his father Lieshan Ember was a little worse.
But Hong Jun did not give up, and persuaded him: "Mother, I know the danger in the Great Wilderness very well. In the past few years, I have studied with the high priest, and I have a good understanding of the situation of the Great Wilderness, which is not much worse than the high priest, and there is definitely no problem with self-preservation. And I will not leave the tribe to go far, no more than three hundred miles. ”
The hunting range of the Shaoyan Department is three hundred miles, and the dangers in this area have basically been removed, leaving only a few forbidden areas, as long as you don't get close, it's safe.
"Father, what do you say?" Hong Jun looked at Lie Shan Ash, hoping that he would agree.
Burning Mountain Ember asked, "Do you have to go into the Great Wilderness alone, can't you hunt with the tribe warriors a few times first and learn a little more experience?"
"I've hunted with the warriors many times, and with the teachings of the priests, I already know what I need to learn, and walking with the hunting party doesn't play a role in training. Hong Jun shook his head and said, his real purpose is to find treasure in the Great Wilderness, if he is accompanied by a large group of people, it will not be convenient to act.
Burning Mountain Ember pondered for a moment, and finally nodded, "Okay, you can go." ”
Hong Junden was overjoyed.
"Ember of the Burning Mountain!"
Jiang Ji shouted and glared at her husband angrily, "If something happens to my son, I'm not done with you!"
If it was in the past, Lieshan Ember would have had a headache in the face of his wife's anger, but this time he seemed calm and calm, and comforted: "Your son is an adult, a warrior, and a master second only to me in the Shaoyan Department, and even smarter than all of us, he was born not to belong to the Great Wilderness, and he is destined to leave the Great Wilderness in the future, and you can't keep him." ”
Jiang Ji was silent, there seemed to be tears in her eyes, she looked at Hong Jun deeply and turned away.
Hong Jun looked at his mother's back, feeling guilty and his eyes were a little blurry. Since he was born into this world, especially when he was asleep in the first ten years, Jiang Xi has taken care of himself meticulously, feeding and changing clothes every day, wiping his body, and never leaving for ten years, almost never going out.
It can be said that Jiang Ji gave Hong Jun a second and third life, and without her, there would be no self!
If Jiang Ji insists on opposing it, Hong Jun can only give up entering the Great Wilderness and think of another way. But she didn't, she just expressed her thoughts in silence, but no longer explicitly stopped it, and let Hong Jun leave.
"Don't worry about your mother, I'll persuade her again. Blazing Ember said softly.
"Thank you, father. ”
Hong Jun looked back at the Burning Mountain Ember, and his words also shocked him a lot.
Lieshan Ember patted Hong Jun's shoulder, and without saying a word, asked, "When are you leaving?"
"As soon as possible, I'll be gone in a few days. Hong Jun's original idea was to leave the next day, but now he has changed his mind and decided to stay with his mother for a few days, and he is not in a hurry anyway.
"Okay, I'll go and prepare a clouded leopard for you tomorrow, it will be much more convenient if you have a mount in the Great Wilderness. Blaze Ash laughed.
The Kui clouded leopard is a kind of mount raised by the Shaoyan tribe, with infinite strength and swiftness like the wind, which is very suitable for chasing prey in the mountains and forests, but it is extremely difficult to domesticate, and the number is not large, and it is distributed to more than 100 warriors who are the most powerful in the tribe. With the identity of Lieshan Ember, it is only a trivial matter to give his son a Kui clouded leopard, and Hong Jun's strength is in everyone's eyes, and no one can say anything gossip.
Three days later, in the early morning, Hong Jun rode on a jet-black mount.
This is a beast that resembles a tiger and leopard, the whole body is pitch black and there is no trace of variegation, the apricot yellow pupils are upside down, from head to tail nearly one foot and five feet, almost as high as the shoulders of adults, the four feet are thick and flexible, the claws are shining cold, and it walks silently, stepping shallow footprints on the ground.
Hong Jun is very satisfied with this Kui Cloud Leopard, it is extremely outstanding among the more than 100 Kui Cloud Leopards in the Shaoyan Department, and its body size is larger than that of ordinary Kui Cloud Leopards, and it is not much better than his father's. When he got it two days ago, he was still wild and tried his best to break free, and it took Hong Jun half a day to tame it, and now he is as docile as a kitten.
Jiang Xi prepared enough dry food for ten days, as well as three sets of clothes that she had sewn herself, and tied them firmly behind the saddle of the Kuiyun Leopard, and told her again and again: "If you encounter danger, don't do it, if you can hide, you can hide, life is the most important thing, you know?"
"Got it. ”
"Watch out for dangerous areas, you must not venture close. ”
"Hmm. ”
"There is also water, a lot of water in the wilderness is poisonous, don't drink it indiscriminately. ”
"Yes, Mother. ”
Jiang Ji took the trouble to say, she didn't know how many times she had said these words in the past three days, in fact, Hong Jun knew these things better than her, but he didn't have the slightest impatience in his heart, but was very moved, and remembered every sentence.
"Father, mother, and little brother, I'm gone. Finally, under the reluctant gaze of the family, Hong Jun pulled the reins of the Kui clouded leopard, clamped his legs, and drove the Kui clouded leopard out of the tribe into the mountains and forests.
