Chapter 008 Adult Dinner
Xie Ling walked forward and patted Xie Xian's shoulder a few times. His voice trembled with ecstasy: "Axian, good, dad knows that you will never sink into this, and you will definitely achieve something great in the future!"
After a pause, he said, "These three-page techniques are extraordinary. Although no one has ever practiced them, you should be careful. After the spirit snake is tested, I will ask the second elder to pass on you some other combat methods, and then there will be nothing to do." After that, he picked up the cigarette gun and took a few slapped hard. Looking at the gloomy and wet sky outside the door, Xie Ling's eyes also became wet.
This son was born with a strange phenomenon when he was born. On that day, thunder rolled and the wind blew. The five elements of the Spirit Snake Clan became extremely violent and rich, and almost condensed into water in an hour. However, no one except Xie Ling thought that these things were related to Xie Xian.
"It's time to eat!" Xie Xianniang shouted in the room. Xie Xian and Xie Ling walked to the table. The table was filled with delicious dishes. There were even two dishes with a few herbs, and a faint medicinal fragrance made people feel excited when they smelled it.
Xie Xian practiced for two days. When she saw a table of good dishes, her stomach couldn't help but growl. In addition, she was in a good mood and had a big appetite. She still couldn't fill her with three or four steamed buns. Her mother smiled and added vegetables to Xie Xian, handing the steamed buns, and a smile appeared on the corner of her mouth. A feeling of joy from the heart was released without any concealment.
"Oh, it's so good to eat in the morning! It seems that old man, I'm going to be at the meal!" The family was having a meal, and a powerful voice sounded outside.
Hearing the sound, Xie Ling hurriedly stood up and said to Xie Xianniang: "Hurry up, go and add a set of bowls and chopsticks and take out the bottle of good wine in the cabinet. The second elder is rare to come once. Thanks to his care for us Axian over the years!" He said as he greeted him.
"Second Elder, why are you here?"
"In more than ten days, the spiritual snake trial will be started. The tribe will have a small coming-of-age ceremony as usual, which is for the juniors to sing, dance, practice hands, and play. After this day, they will be adults and they will contribute to the tribe. Let me see Axian. We Axian is fifteen years old, but we old men are not good." The old man who came was the old man who presided over the awakening of snake patterns a few days ago. He usually seems serious, but he loves Xie Xian very much. He will come and give Xie Xian some food.
"Second Grandpa." Xie Xian was holding a steamed bun in his right hand, and his voice was a little vague.
The second elder is Xie Yunjian. He is over 60 years old this year, and his hair and beard are a little white. Xie Xian grew up when he watched Xie Xian grow up. At this time, after Xie Xian finished speaking, his eyes raised, and Xie Yunjian suddenly felt a slight change.
After practicing the three-page technique, although Xie Xian did not make substantial improvements or breakthroughs,
He still cannot enter the most basic level of cultivation, but his entire spirit has indeed changed a little, so outsiders may not be able to see it, even if he looks in the mirror repeatedly, he may not be able to see it.
But of course, this cannot help the second elder, his parents, who are close to him who have watched him grow up.
"A Xian, not bad, a martial arts practitioner, true qi and martial arts are second to the point. What is important is the heart of a strong man. You decided to participate in the Spirit Snake Trial, which is great!" The second elder nodded, sat down, and was not polite, picked up the chopsticks and started eating.
Xie Ling poured a glass of wine for the second elder and said, "Second Elder, is it a bit early for Axian to participate in the Spirit Snake Trial now? In addition, I would like to ask the second elder to pass on Axian some combat skills to protect myself."
Xie Ling almost didn't drink alcohol, and the second elder was not polite to him. He took a sip of wine on his own and said, "You don't know about the spiritual snake trial. The main thing is opportunity and courage. Facing the endless spiritual snakes in the spiritual snake cave, martial arts are not the key. Axian is determined and does not lack courage. When he comes out, his martial arts will definitely be passed on in the clan."
"It's already May, Axian should have celebrated his birthday. I remember that I have to attend the party in a few days!" After the second elder said, he stopped talking about the trial. While eating, he chatted with Xie Ling about the mess, but the atmosphere was also very pleasant.
When the second elder left, Xie Xian didn't talk nonsense. He went straight back to the bedroom, sat cross-legged, and carefully experienced the mystery of the martial arts without any stagnation. The surrounding thunder element energy slowly poured into his body.
Crack, crackle—
A crisp sound sounded, and Xie Xian suddenly felt a little trembling in his body. The gentle tremor brought endless pain and pleasure. Xie Xian's mind suddenly showed the movement of the body-tempering true energy, and the feeling of tempering the body. Those were mentioned by the elders of the clan by chance. Xie Xian could not practice, but he had never taken it to his heart.
Ten days passed by, and Xie Xian just kept practicing every day, even eating and sleeping. During these ten days of practice, Xie Xian kept absorbing the energy of the thunder element, and his physical fitness was greatly improved. His original body was completely different from the feeling from the inside out now.
After clenching his fists and feeling a strong force, Xie Xian's heart was as boiling as he was full of fighting spirit!
"Dad, mom, I'll go to the coming-of-age ceremony later, so I won't have to eat tonight." When Xie Xian pushed the door out, the sun had already set west, and a bright moon was hanging in the night sky, and many bright stars were shining.
After Xie Xian started practicing these days, his parents were as if they were twenty years younger. Although there were many wrinkles on their faces, they had a lot of smiles. They were laughing constantly at home. Xie Ling even started routine practice every day!
"Okay, okay, my son has become an adult too. Be happier tonight!" Xie Ling laughed and patted Xie Xian on the shoulder.
Xie Xianniang stuffed a bun and said, "Axian, you should eat some cushion first. I don't know when I can eat it at that time, and it may not be good. If I don't eat enough, my mother will make it for you when I come back." The coming-of-age ceremony is a gathering for children, and parents will not attend.
Xie Xian nodded and walked out of the house.
A gust of evening breeze blew, and the stars were dotted. This was the first time Xie Xian went out in twelve days, and it was also the first time he had walked out of the house with high spirits in three years.
It seems that because of the change in my mood, my feet are a little lighter.
"Axian, are you going to attend the coming-of-age ceremony? Haha, you're an adult!" Most of the elders I met along the way greeted Xie Xian with a smile, and Xie Xian also responded with a smile. A sense of joy from the bottom of his heart made many tribe members feel a little different.
Soon, Xie Xian walked to the square where the snake pattern awakened more than ten days ago. At this time, there were piles of bonfires in the square. Dozens of young and teenagers, some were not yet fifteen years old, and some were already seventeen or eighteen years old, all sitting on the ground one on the left and one on the right.
Although it is a coming-of-age ceremony, it is actually more of a carnival for children. As long as they are younger generations, they can participate.
Next to the crowd, there were plates of barbecue, fruits, and some wine, and juices casually placed, and everyone had a smile on their faces. This is one of the largest festivals of the Spirit Snake Clan. The annual adult ceremony is a carnival for the younger generation.
"Oh, Axian, you are here, come and sit down!" Seeing Xie Xian coming, many people greeted him. Xie Xian sat on the ground, picked up a peach from the plate beside him and took a bite.
"Okay, okay, let's get together!" A voice suddenly remembered that everyone didn't go to see who it was. They all held the plates around them and gathered towards the center. Several huge bonfires were burning around them, and there were also cattle and sheep leaning against the shelf, constantly dripping grease, and the rich fragrance spread everywhere.
As soon as he sat down, a tall young man stood up, held a glass of wine, and said, "Today is a coming-of-age ceremony. According to convention, the snake soul competes with skills, so I will take the lead and bet on this glass of wine!"
There are two retention items for the spiritual snake tribe's adult ceremony every year, one of which is the snake soul competition.
The essence of the spiritual snake people practicing is snake soul. Not only can you win with powerful true energy, but the accurate grasp and control of snake soul is equally important.
There are two types of martial arts. One is ordinary martial arts. It was originally used by human practitioners without beast souls. Now it is almost a must-have martial arts for everyone in the entire Waste Spirit Continent.
There is another kind of soul skill called it, which is specially designed for beast souls, and is exclusive to beast soul warriors. Cultivators of the human empire cannot practice without special beast souls.
The beast soul warrior has the bloodline of monsters and his physical fitness is far better than that of ordinary people. His soul skills can maximize the power of the beast soul. For the beast soul warrior, it is obviously more suitable for soul skills. However, as time goes by, the inheritance gradually disappears. Now most beast soul warriors cooperate with beast souls and practice ordinary martial arts. Soul skills are too rare, and there is no soul snake clan in the entire spirit snake clan.
Everyone's beast soul has great power. Even if it is just a first-level monster, its power can be doubled after learning soul skills. Moreover, practitioners of the body tempering level cannot use the beast soul well. At least they must reach the Tongmei level to truly exert the power of the beast soul. Soul skills can also be truly applied to the Tongmei level. Even if they are peerless geniuses, they must have the fifth grade of the cave to barely exert their power.
It seems that Xie Xian's father Xie Ling, the second-level Tongmai, was able to leave the snake soul out of the body. Only when the Tongmai level spiritual snake transformation can the snake soul out of the body can be separated, which is also a basic soul skill. These children are all body-tempering levels, and they don't even have a single cave-condensing level, so it is naturally impossible to do it. They can only show the phantom of the snake soul and leaps around their bodies, and there is no problem. They just can hardly release any attack or defense.
This kind of snake soul competition only tests the control and grasp of snake soul. The more skillful and delicate the control, the more you can use the power of martial arts in the future. It is like the stronger the physical quality, the better the effect when learning ordinary martial arts.
As for betting on wine, it is a common bet for young people. The young man walked to the center with a full glass of wine. The two of them sat opposite each other, released the snake soul, and used their true energy to control the snake soul. As long as they touched the other person's body or knocked the other person's snake soul back, they could drink this glass of wine.
What's more, when so many people look at it, the snake soul will be discovered with a slight touch. It doesn't hurt the harmony without attack.
