Chapter 3 Burning Mountain

Burning Mountain Ember is a resolute character, just do what he says, immediately threw down the giant axe and said hello to his wife Jiang Ji, and took Hong Jun out to find the priest.

Everywhere he went, the clansmen saluted to the Burning Mountain Ember, and Hong Jun nodded secretly, it seemed that his father was very respected in the tribe. When people saw Hong Jun following behind the Burning Mountain Ember, they all cast curious eyes, this was the first time Hong Jun had walked out of the house, and outsiders had never seen him, so they didn't recognize him, and no one thought that he was the son of the chief who had been lying in bed since birth.

The priests lived in a large wooden hut, not far from the altar in the center of the tribe.

The priests had a high status among the tribes, and their most important responsibility was to preside over the ceremonies of worshipping the gods, in addition to teaching children to read and write, naming newborns, boiling medicine to heal wounds, etc., which were highly respected by all the tribesmen.

There are seven priests in the Shaoyan Division, of which only one is recognized by the Lieshan Temple, and the remaining six are considered to be the disciples of the high priest, who usually take turns teaching children to read. When the father and son of Lieshan Ember entered the big house, there were already more than 100 children in the house, ranging in age from five to teenagers, divided into three parts according to their age, each free priest to lead the literacy, Hong Jun's younger brother Lieshan Feng was in the smallest part.

"Chief!" several older children stood up and saluted.

Burning Mountain Ember answered, nodded to the three priests in respect, his gaze swept over the younger son, and then led Hong Jun through the big house and into the high priest's residence.

There were two fierce warriors stationed outside the high priest's room, and when they saw that it was the Burning Mountain Ember, they naturally didn't dare to stop it, and they saluted in unison: "I've seen the chief!"

An old man in a linen robe pushed the door out, his face was full of wrinkles, Hong Jun guessed that he was over seventy years old, but his body was still very strong, his waist was straight, which was in strong contrast with the wrinkles on his face, and there was no twilight on his body.

"Chief, is this your eldest son?" the high priest let the father and son of the Burning Mountain into the house, and his eyes fell on Hong Jun, with a hint of surprise in his eyes. As the high priest of the Shaoyan Division, he naturally recognized the eldest son of the chief. At the beginning, Hong Jun was born and fell into a deep sleep, and the high priest also personally took care of it, but there was nothing he could do. I thought that the child would die soon, but I didn't expect to wake up ten years later.

"Yes, High Priest. Lieshan Ember replied respectfully, directly indicating his intention: "Hong Jun has been sleeping for ten years, his body has just improved, and he started later than other children, so I want him to learn words." ”

"Hong Jun?" the high priest looked puzzled, "Is this child's name?"

"Yes, and he took it himself. "Lieshan Ember didn't hide it, in fact, he came here today, and he also had the intention of asking the high priest to name Hong Jun.

The high priest suddenly became interested, it was the first time he saw the child who would name him, and he couldn't help but look at Hong Jun seriously. Although Hong Jun's body has tended to be healthy after half a year of recovery, compared to the normal ten-year-old child of the Lieshan Clan, he is still too thin and shorter, and he looks like he is only six or seven years old.

Nodding slightly, the high priest opened a thick animal skin book, intending to find a suitable name for Hong Jun in it.

Taking advantage of this time, Hong Jun observed the high priest's room.

The High Priest's room was noticeably more complex than the rest of the tribe's, with rows of bookshelves in the corners, filled with large books in animal skins, but the most conspicuous was a cauldron in the center of the room. Saying that it is a pot, it is actually more like a ding, more than half a person tall, standing on three legs, with an unknown block of fuel burning underneath, due to the height relationship, Hong Jun can't see what is boiling in the ding, he can only smell a strange fragrance wafting out of the ding, filling the whole room.

After a while, the high priest flipped through the entire animal skin book, thought for a while, and said: "I named him 'Yang', which means blazing, but the molten gold stone, his full name is Lieshan Yang, and he is usually called Hong Jun, but after you are literate, you have to write the word Hong Jun yourself." ”

"Blazing Mountain!"

Lieshan Ember read it slowly, and felt very good, at least it was unique in the Shaoyan Department, no one else called this name, and bowed his head and said, "In the future, you will be called Lieshan Yang." ”

Hong Jun nodded indifferently, anyway, it's just a name, and it's better to call his real name when he communicates with his parents.

"Thank you, High Priest. "Burning Mountain Ember sincerely thanks.

"It's okay, I should have chosen the name. The high priest smiled and waved his hand, his eyes returned to Hong Jun, looking at it, his brows couldn't help frowning, for a long time, he slowly shook his head and said, "Chief, are you going to teach him the Great Desolation Burning Body Sutra?"

"Yes, I want to teach Hong Jun in person after he recognizes words. Ember replied in a deep voice, his expression a little uneasy, as if he was very worried about what the High Priest was about to say.

Hong Jun saw some clues, but listened quietly on his face.

"This child can survive is already blessed by the gods, but after ten years of coma, I am afraid that he has already fallen to the root of the disease, plus he is not a pure Lieshan clan, congenitally deficient, even if he is recuperated, it is difficult to return to normal level, he is naturally weaker than other children, even if you personally teach him the Great Wilderness Burning Body Sutra, it is impossible to achieve much. The High Priest sighed, a look of displeasure on his face.

Hong Jun's heart tightened when he heard this, and he turned his head to look at his father, but Lieshan Ember opened his mouth but couldn't say a word, obviously he had known about this situation for a long time.

"Father?" Hong Jun shouted.

Burning Mountain Ember hesitated whether he should tell Hong Jun the truth, glanced at the high priest, gritted his teeth and said: "Hong Jun, the Great Wilderness Burning Body Sutra is a technique tailored by the Heavenly God for our Lieshan Clan, and it has high requirements for the body, the stronger the body, the better the cultivation effect. You are originally a mixed race, born weak, not as good as a normal clan, and you have been in a coma for so many years, it is difficult to recover, with your current weak body, it is likely that you will not even be able to practice the first weight. ”

"Oh. Hong Jun nodded his head to indicate that he understood, and did not show any overreaction.

At this moment, Lieshan Ember and the High Priest were stunned, this was not like the performance of a normal person, and then after thinking about it, he thought that Hong Jun was still young and didn't understand how serious the impact of this incident was on him.

"Child, do you know what it means to not be able to cultivate the Great Desolation Burning Body Sutra?" the High Priest patiently asked again.

Hong Jun looked surprised, and asked rhetorically, "It's not that I can't cultivate, it's just that it's difficult to cultivate, right?"

"This ......" The high priest was stumped for a moment, and couldn't help but shake his head and laughed: "If you can't even practice the first level of the Great Desolate Burning Body Sutra, what's the difference between that and not being able to cultivate?"

"How do you know if you don't try? ”

"Hong Jun, how can you talk to the high priest like this?" Lieshan Ember snorted softly, although he admired his son's ambition very much, but in his heart he actually agreed with the high priest's statement. He knew better than anyone the difficulty of cultivating the Great Wilderness Burning Body Sutra, even a healthy Lieshan Clan could rarely practice to the first level, let alone the weak Hong Jun.

The high priest waved his hand with a smile and said, "Chief, I think Ah Yang is much smarter than other children, if he can't cultivate the Great Wilderness Burning Body Sutra, then follow me to apprentice, and it will definitely not be a problem to become a priest in the future." ”

Burning Mountain Ember was suddenly extremely surprised, and hurriedly got up, bowed and said gratefully: "Thank you High Priest, I have thanked the High Priest on behalf of Hong Jun." ”

"The chief is gracious. The high priest stopped the burning mountain ember from saluting, and said, "This also depends on Ah Yang's literacy skills, if he can't learn words well, then how can he become a priest? ”

"Yes, High Priest. Hong Jun, you study hard. Blazing Mountain Ember commanded, and left in anticipation.

The high priest took out a thick animal skin book from the shelf in the corner, turned the first page, and said: "It is not a simple matter to recognize words, the words of our Lieshan clan are all handed down by the gods, with a total of more than 13,000 words, and it took me five years to memorize them all. He said slowly, with a bit of pride on his face, as if it was quite a great thing to learn all the words in five years, and then said: "Ah Yang, you just woke up, don't be in a hurry, let's start with the simplest ......"

Half an hour later, the high priest was sweating profusely, eager to take back what he had just said.

He found that no matter what the words were, as long as he taught them once, Hong Jun could remember them completely and correctly, and he wrote them neatly, and even the handwriting was exactly the same as his own.

In just half a day, Hong Jun learned the words in the entire Great Book of Animal Skins, which was still affected by the speed of the high priest professor, otherwise it would only be faster. Although the characters recorded in this big book of animal skins only accounted for about one-third of the Lieshan clan, it was enough for Hong Jun to read a simple prayer.

Seeing Hong Jun writing a whole sacrificial prayer on the table, the high priest couldn't believe his eyes, and after checking it again, he found that Hong Jun wrote word for word, and even wrote his name on the inscription - Hong Jun.

If it weren't for the fact that the high priest knew Hong Jun's affairs very well, and knew that the child in front of him was a baby who had fallen into a deep sleep since birth, he would almost suspect that Lieshan Ember had found a child who had already learned to write to entertain him.

"Our Shaoyan Department has produced an amazing talent!" The high priest suddenly got up and ran out of the room, ignoring the gaze of others, climbed onto the altar and recited the words, reciting the eulogy of worshiping the gods, and suddenly laughed, danced and shouted: "God bless! God bless!"

After a long time, the high priest calmed down, returned to Hong Jun, and said solemnly: "Ah Yang, no one can say anything about today's events except your parents!"

Hong Jun understood what the high priest was thinking, and calmly replied, "Yes, high priest, I know. ”

The High Priest nodded in satisfaction, smiled kindly, and pulled out another large book of animal skins, continuing to teach the remaining more complex Lieshan script.

By the time the sun went down, Hong Jun had already learned all the words of the Lieshan clan.

Despite his mental preparations, the High Priest was still frightened by Hong Jun's memory, and he never thought that anyone could learn more than 10,000 words in one day, and not a single word for word.

"I don't have much to teach you, go back, and remember to call your father for the evening." The high priest looked at Hong Jun with a complicated expression and waved him away.

That night, after Lieshan Ember returned from the High Priest, his face was still skeptical, and he wrote a few words casually for Hong Jun to recognize, and when Hong Jun easily read them out and wrote them again, Lieshan Ember finally believed what the High Priest said.

He looked at his wife Jiang Xi and couldn't help sighing, "You gave birth to an amazing son." ”

Jiang Xi also felt incredible, but thinking that Hong Jun could learn to speak while he was sleeping, it was not difficult to accept that he could read for a day.

Hong Jun didn't take this matter to heart, he deliberately revealed his ability just to learn the Great Wilderness Burning Body Sutra earlier to see if he could solve the problem of physical weakness.

"Father, now you can teach me the Great Wilderness Burning Experience, right?"

"Of course. Lieshan Ember couldn't help but shake his head and laugh, and said in the morning that he would wait for Hong Jun to become literate, but he didn't expect to fulfill his promise in the evening. Fortunately, he had already prepared, moved the table, turned over the stone slab on the ground, and saw that the other flat stone slab was full of Lieshan characters, and there were many engravings.

"This is the Great Wilderness Burning Body Sutra?" Hong Jun never knew that under the stone slab he often stepped on actually hid the Lieshan Clan's clan establishment exercises.

He studied it carefully for a moment, and roughly understood what was on the slate.

The Great Wilderness Burning Sutra is rumored to be an ancient exercise tailored by the gods for the Lieshan clan, which has a history of tens of thousands of years, and must have the bloodline of the Lieshan clan to cultivate. When cultivating the Great Desolation Burning Sutra, it is best to be in a hot place, and it is better if you can be under a strong sunlight.

Seeing this, Hong Jun suddenly realized, no wonder the people of the Lieshan clan like flames, prefer to bask in the sun, and usually sit around the edge of the big fire pit in the center of the village when they have nothing to do.

There are a total of five times in the Great Wilderness Burning Body Sutra, the first weight is to train the skin, the second is to train the meat, the third is to train the tendons, the fourth is to train the bones, the fifth is to train the marrow, the skin, flesh, muscles and bone marrow, step by step, one heavy practice, the improvement of the body's strength and speed is higher than one heavy, if you can refine to the fifth weight, you will have the power to move mountains and reclaim the sea.

"The power to move mountains and reclaim the sea!" Hong Jun didn't believe that a person's physical body would be so strong.

"Father, how heavy have you been in the Great Wilderness?"

Burning Mountain Ember stretched out his hand and said proudly, "Third." ”

Seeing that Hong Jun was unmoved, Lieshan Ember was angry and funny, and said: "Do you think that the Great Desolation Burning Body Sutra is very easy to cultivate? Even if it is the first level, there are only less than 100 people in our Shaoyan Department who have practiced it, and I can practice to the third level at the age of thirty, and I am already the most powerful warrior in the Shaoyan Department for hundreds of years!"
