Chapter 3: Enlightening the River of Life

When the red sun sets in the west, the afterglow of the setting sun gradually covers the entire land, and the small mountain village located in the mountains is no exception, and today's light is exceptionally soft, which always makes people can't help but have a slack mood, but this mood is destined not to exist in today's small mountain village.

The empty square of the mountain village was already overcrowded at this time, and all the little ones in the family basically came, and they more or less forcibly dragged their own reluctant little guys, little guys, including Uncle Shi who grabbed Pang Long.

At the edge of the square, a young man with a big stick, a bad knife, a wooden bow and other weapons stood on the four sides of the square to maintain order, their faces were either serious or serious, because today is one of the most unusual and most valued days in the small mountain village.

Poison bath quenching!

Although there were hundreds of people in the square, there was no noise at all, and they were all looking around, as if waiting for someone to arrive.

Soon, an old man wearing ragged clothes and holding a black burning stick in one hand came to the scene, everyone was very conscious, and made a way for the old man, and at the same time his eyes were a little strange, only to see that the old man's other hand was carrying a five or six-year-old Xiao Budian, the little Budian was very energetic, moving, frantically struggling to escape, but it was obviously useless.

The old man walked to the middle, although his face was old, but his eyes were extraordinarily bright, not at all like the demeanor of an old man who had been through vicissitudes for a long time.

He glanced around, his gaze was very slow, basically seeing all the villagers, nodding slightly, his expression was solemn, as if he was infected, and the villagers were all solemn.

"Ready, come up!"

As the old man's voice fell, the young and strong people all moved, and the villagers also skillfully stood aside, and soon vacated a huge open space.

The medicine pod is very large, one mouthful of the pod is enough to hold seven or eight small points, and it is also very heavy, but the young man who lifts it obviously has the strength, and when it falls on the ground, there is nothing else except stirring up a few dusts.

"Mother, I don't want to be cooked!"

"Daddy, I don't want to be cooked, I'll be cooked!"

......

The little guys and little people saw those few big dings, as if they had seen a natural enemy, and began to struggle violently, and tried their best to resist uselessly.

Resistance always has to pay a price, and these little guys were soon educated by the "love" of their own fathers and aunts.

Among the many little guys, Mu Yuan is definitely the one who reacts the most, for some reasons, at this time, he is always treated with special privileges, yes, special privileges by himself.

Their perennial relentless resistance has long been commonplace for everyone, so they don't care at all.

Ten young people found dry firewood, after a fire, the big ding burned, the liquid in the ding began to tumble, it seemed to be animal blood, and it seemed to be the liquid formed by herbs, or both, after a while, it may be almost over, and several strong people began to throw materials into the ten big dings.

First of all, there are all kinds of small herbs and poisons that cannot be named.

The herbs were fragrant, and the poison was terrifying, which made the little ones resist even more violently, and then someone poured in a small bottle of black liquid, and in an instant, Dading began to shake.

Not long after, perhaps seeing that the time was almost there, the old man opened his head first, raised Mu Yuan in his hand, and threw it accurately towards a big ding.

As the central focal point, the old man's every move was watched by the villagers, and when they saw the old man at the beginning, they also successively sent their babies to Dading to "cook", but the means were much gentler than the old man.

"Baby, this is a good thing, I don't usually have to soak it, come, don't be afraid. ”

Seeing the gentle expressions of their parents, the little ones actually refused in their hearts, but seeing the wooden stick that had been raised high, they were very wise not to speak again at the moment.

Soon, one after another, the little ones and little ones all arrived at the dingzhong where they should be at their age, and the old man on the side saw this and raised the charcoal black burning stick in his hand.

At the same time, a terrifying momentum burst out from the old man's body, and the phantom of the fierce beast behind him opened his teeth and claws, as if he was alive, and let out bursts of roars, although silent, but the monstrous momentum really made every villager feel it, even if many people present were not the first time they saw it, but they still couldn't help but tremble, and then I saw him use charcoal black to burn a dozen medicine sticks.

For a while, the medicine tripod was more happy, and the poison inside seemed to have a second life, constantly swimming in the tripod, very happy, which frightened the child, and the little face was pale, especially those babies who experienced the poison bath for the first time, jumped up and down directly, and some of them also had some poison on their bodies, but unfortunately no matter how hard they tried, they couldn't jump out, it was useless.

Looking at Mu Yuan again, he seemed to be numb, his eyes were completely closed, and he tried his best not to feel the poison around him.

Poison bath quenching, is one of the unique medicinal baths in the small mountain village, pay attention to poison and medicine complement each other, first kill the poison before bathing, and open a small hole in the root of their toxin, and then with the corresponding antidote into the medicine together, at the same time add some medicine to strengthen the roots and bones, and finally wait for the Ding, the quenching pharmacist will use special means to provide a ray of life for the poison, so that the medicinal properties of the toxin are stronger, more active.

From the age of four to the end of twelve, the amount of medicine in the period increases year by year, three times in a year, and once the age of twelve, the bone will be initially formed, and the effect of the poison bath quenching will be greatly reduced.

This is only Mu Yuan's fifth poisonous bath, but the amount is already several times that of children of the same age.

The poisonous bath quenching did not take long, and when the red sun completely fell and the shadow began to erode, the poisonous bath quenching was also announced, and the villagers took their little ones out and took them home.

Mu Yuan soaked for a longer time, but not much longer, after being taken out by the quenching pharmacist, someone carried the dozen or so medicine tripods away and took them to clean.

"How it feels, little one. The quenching pharmacist gently put down Mu Yuan in his hand, and Mu Yuan's legs were weak, and he sat on the ground with his buttocks, the old man touched his head, leaned over and asked with a smile.

"Stars, many, many stars, it's strange, how can there be so many stars?"

Mu Yuan shook his head, and only after a long time did he mutter a sentence in a daze.

"Several times the amount of medicine of his peers, is it just a little dizzy?" The quenching pharmacist checked Mu Yuan's condition, and heard his words again, meditating in his heart.

The Quenching Medicine Master stretched out his hand and pointed it on Mu Yuan's forehead, a cloud of green light surrounded his fingertips, and he withdrew his hand after a few breaths.

"Am I dizzy?"

Mu Yuan shook his head for a while, and soon he noticed that his head was not dizzy, and his little face showed a knowing smile.

"The recovery speed is not bad, if you can successfully clear the fog and open the life-saving river, it is a good seedling. Seeing Mu Yuan's instant recovery, the old man nodded, silently gave a good evaluation in his heart, and at the same time slowly said something that could make the children and young people in the entire mountain village excited, but Mu Yuan refused very simply.

"Little one, do you want to get out of this little mountain village?"

"I don't want to. ”

"What?" the old man was a little surprised, the teenagers and girls who had been sent out by him in the past had not to mention how excited they were when they first heard that there was hope of going out, but they did not expect to be rejected by a six-year-old little guy today, this was the first time he had been rejected so far.
