Chapter 2: A Boy Without Stigmata (2)
Tian Xian hurriedly ran into the woods, but did not immediately go back to listen to any "lectures", but turned around the woods three times and two times, and found a towering tree with lush branches and foliage, which required more than 20 people to hug.
Jumping on the trunk of the tree, Tian Xian quickly climbed up.
This towering ancient tree is the secret base of Tianxian, and no one else knows about this place, even the girl in red just now doesn't know that her little brother still has a small nest in this ancient tree.
In the place where the ancient tree is close to the canopy, some branches are led to one place, tied with strong rattan, and then used branches and leaves to build a simple nest in the shape of a bird's nest, and a rainproof roof is built on it, just like a small tree house.
Entering the tree house, Tian Xian let out a long breath. Since this place was built, this is the only place where you can truly feel completely at ease.
The towering giant tree on the top of Moyun Mountain, this small tree house may be the tallest building on the mainland, the sea of clouds is transformed overhead, Tian Xian likes to look at the clouds here in a daze, there seem to be countless scenes in the sea of clouds, and a magical thing will fall at any time.
After a long time, I was stunned, and the time for Sanniang to talk seemed to be approaching.
I opened the roof that let in light everywhere, looked at the sky in my spare time, and set the time again, and then sat down quietly cross-legged.
Breathe in, breathe through the whole body, and start your homework today.
Ever since his physical condition began to allow, when other children were working hard to inherit the stigma, Tian Xian was cultivating this set of Seven Treasures Spiritual Heart True Solution. Maybe I don't want to admit defeat, maybe not, in short, Tianxian doesn't want to do nothing.
It's not a powerful method, but it's magical, I've been cultivating since I was a child, and I'm deaf and clear-sighted, and my body is unusually strong, much taller than children of the same age.
Moreover, the spirit is very vigorous, and he never gets sick, and some minor injuries recover several times faster than other children, and the elders in the clan are amazed by this, but they don't know that this is the result of Tianxian secretly cultivating.
However, Tian Xian also knew that it was already very difficult for him to make progress again, because he only had the first two layers of the heart method in his hands, and now he had already cultivated to the end of the second layer.
There should be seven layers of this mental method, but helplessly, the old man gave him only two layers, and it was still a clumsy and abnormal manuscript.
Concentrating on the calm breath, Tianxian guided the whole body breath to run slowly according to the method in his memory, and the body slowly heated up, and the warm breath made Tianxian feel very comfortable.
Under the white sun, a faint layer of brilliance appeared and disappeared on Tianxian's body.
Feeling the heat flow in his body turning around the meridians of his body twice, Tian Xian opened his eyes and slowly exhaled a breath of white air, and the tiredness in his eyes decreased a lot.
After moving his body, Tian Xian smiled happily, the internal injuries caused by falling from the stone pillar were much better, and the dull pain left by the children's fists and feet disappeared.
Although Sister Hongyan's flame stigma has reached the refining stage, it ...... After all, it is not specially used to treat injuries, and every time you treat an injury, it is like being roasted by fire, which is not so pleasant......
Thinking of this cousin who has been playing with herself since she was a child, gentle and amiable, she is a little lost, since she was a child, because she can't inherit the stigma, in a large group of children, only she is willing to approach herself, sing to herself on weekdays, eat with herself, and occasionally pull her ears when she is angry, but most of them just smile and nod her forehead.
In my memory, this beautiful girl who likes to wear red clothes makes herself feel safe, feels warm, and that kind of gentleness makes me irresistible, and just wants to lean on her side so much......
Close relatives...... That's how it feels.
Because she always protects herself, she is said by those children to be her wife, and she doesn't mind this, even if she starts to treat her badly, she doesn't resist, she obviously wants her to hate herself a lot, and then marry away with peace of mind.
What a nuisance for women......
Tian Xian shook his head, threw these things that troubled him out of his mind, looked at the sky and calculated the time, was stunned for a moment, and then jumped off the tree with a strange scream.
......
The Moyun Mountains are covered with clouds and mist, but there are not a few places like that stone forest that are exposed to the clouds all year round, and most of these places have become gathering places for the residents of Moyun Mountain.
In the mountains of the sea of fog, a tall peak is surrounded by clouds, as if there is some power guarding this mountain, and a huge stone tablet at the foot of the mountain has three big characters written on it: Fire Misty Mountain.
On the mountainside, a small figure was flying.
Looking at the sky, Tian Xian's heart became more and more anxious: I didn't expect to be stunned, time has passed quickly, and if I am late, I will run to Jingtan to be the companion of the old fish!
There is a village on the mountainside, here is antique, there is no high house lobby, but all the houses are built very carefully, the houses are arranged in a staggered manner, the doors and windows are neat, the cloud tile water eaves are carved with the pattern of clouds and flames, and the small streams in the village are dotted among them, which seems to be leisurely and interesting.
Tianxian ran all the way, flowed across the stream, stepped on the green wall, and soon came to a rather large courtyard gate.
The buildings around this courtyard are quite tall, basically several storeys of attics, with red cloud tiles on the roof, bluestone walls painted in bright white, and the corners and roofs of the attic are carved with hideous monsters, and the carved patterns are the same as those of other houses, all of which are clouds and flames.
A nice woman's voice was coming from the compound: "In the Broken Age, the gods have fallen, about two thousand years ago......"
Tian Xian tiptoed into the door.
There are tall houses on three sides of the compound, and there are rows of wooden tables in the open space in the center, dozens of children are sitting there listening to the lecture, looking like they are all about twelve or thirteen years old, and Tong Hu and Yaoyao are already sitting there.
A beautiful woman in an emerald dress is holding an ancient book in her hand, walking slowly among the children, and talking about the contents of the ancient book with a stern expression.
This woman looked to be in her early thirties, with a bright face, long hair coiled up at the back of her head, flames drawn under her emerald clothes, embroidered clouds, and a fluttering demeanor when she walked, full of charm. Although her face was stern, her eyes looked at these children with softness from time to time.
"Sanniang, it's a day of leisure!!"
Suddenly, a childish child's voice sounded in the courtyard, which was full of resentment.
The middle-aged beauty was stunned for a moment, looked at the gate, and immediately frowned when she saw Tianxian sneaking in.
Tianxian was full of bitterness, and it was none other than Yaoyao who shouted his name.
"Come here!" The middle-aged beautiful woman's voice was much more severe, not at all as soft as when she was talking just now.
Tianxian rubbed in front of the middle-aged beauty, lowered her head, "Sanniang ......"
A flash of anger flashed in Sanniang's beautiful eyes, "Where did you go yesterday again? I didn't see anyone all night! We almost turned the whole mountain over to find you!"
"Hmm...... I, well...... "I can't say I'm stealing the eggs of the iron-winged bird...... This incident is also related to another thing that will be heavily punished.
The book in Sanniang's hand slammed on Tianxian's head, "Did you catch the iron-winged bird!?"
As soon as this sentence came out, the children who gloated on the side all exclaimed, that thing was not provoked! Yaoyao opened her mouth wide in surprise, and looked at Tianxian in disbelief.
Tian Xian was stunned for a moment, and looked up at Sanniang, "Sanniang, you ...... How do you know?"
The book in Sanniang's hand hit Tianxian's head again, "You sneak into the ancestral house and check the beast genealogy! The beast genealogy turns to the page of the iron-winged bird! Are you blind to me?"
Tianxian couldn't help but secretly scream carelessly, he was a thief at that time, and found that Sanniang came to count the items in the ancestral house as usual, and fled in a panic, but forgot to hide the traces.
"Did you catch it?" asked Sanniang in a cold voice.
Tianxian shook his head dejectedly, "The egg is too big for me to move." â
Sanniang's face was suddenly full of anger, "You actually found the nest of the iron-winged bird! Do you know how dangerous this is!? You can still come back alive! You ...... If something happens to you......"
Sanniang was furious, and knocked Tianxian on the head with the book again, and shouted: "Sit back for me! I will be punished tomorrow in Jingtan! I will not be allowed to come back for three months!"
Under the surprised and mocking gazes of all the children, Tianxian slowly moved back to his seat in frustration, but suddenly found that his stool was missing a leg, and leaned diagonally on the wooden table.
These little bastards!
Tianxian looked at the children around him and saw that they were covering their mouths and laughing, obviously this was a good thing they did.
I took away the stool and sat down, but I was missing a leg, and when I was working for the barefoot doctor, I sat in the shop, and I didn't sit on the two-legged stool......
The surrounding children sat on the three-legged stool when they saw Tianid, and they were still steady, and they couldn't help but be stunned, and Tong Hu on the side was even more wide-eyed, completely unable to understand why the three-legged stool could also sit steadily.
"Listen carefully!" Sanniang saw that everyone was looking at Tianxian, and immediately shouted, and a group of children hurriedly turned their heads, for the Sanniang in front of them, everyone was very afraid.
"You not only have to cultivate the holy stigma well, but you also have to know everything about Moyun Mountain, but you also have to learn more about the outside world, so that you may have a chance to leave here like Hongyan, otherwise you will ......" Sanniang glanced at Tianxian intentionally and unintentionally, and shook her head helplessly.
Picking up the ancient book again, Sanniang's tone was calm and soft, "The first time humans excavated the relics of the gods in the ground was 1,800 years ago......"
Most of the children were not interested in what Sanniang said, but they were afraid that Sanniang would be punished during the assessment, so they all stared at each other with round eyes and looked like they were listening carefully.
Tianxian doesn't have this thought.
These things have been carefully studied and sorted out repeatedly when I was very young, only those little bastards don't want to learn at all, so now I still have to emphasize Sanniang repeatedly......
Speaking of this world, there have been countless powerful gods, and it is a place full of wonders and incredibles.
History records that the gods were divided into two factions and fought each other, and it was a time of great turmoil and chaos, known as the "Broken Age".
At the end of the Broken Era, the "Seven-Day War of Annihilation" broke out.
In just seven days, the gods of the frenzied conquest completely destroyed the entire world with infinite divine power, the earth shattered and cracked, and the rising smoke and dust covered the entire sky, and the once beautiful world was unrecognizable.
The glorious civilization of the gods was reduced to dust in ruins, and the last gods were lost in this war of destruction.
When the smoke and dust in the sky cleared, the small and weak races that had survived the war were shocked to find that the original moon had split into eight pieces, and took on the appearance of the emblems of the eight gods.
When one round of the moon shines, the rest of the moon disappears, and the eight rounds of the moon take turns to shine on the earth, and one cycle is exactly one year. To commemorate the devastating war, the surviving beings created a new calendar and named it after the insignia of the eight gods.
Spring: Sunrise, Cloud Lion.
Summer: Dragons, Brown Bears.
Autumn: Vipers, Condors.
Winter: Siren, Remnant Blood.
Soon, the remnants of the creatures discovered the magical power of the Eight Moons, the creatures born under the Moon of the Cloud Lion were more courageous and majestic, the Brown Bear Moon was powerful and loyal, and the Viper Moon shone on the creatures that descended to be more intelligent and cunning......
Each round of the moon seems to give a new life a different fate!
The suffering beings were greatly comforted and inspired, and called the eight moons the "Moon of Destiny", believing that it was the last blessing and guidance of the gods to this world, and renamed the world in the ancient god language: Elda!
In the ancient gods, Elda means: tranquility, peace.
In the years of rebuilding the world, all races have been united and have survived in difficulty but peace......
And this peace and tranquility was quickly torn to shreds as the first ancient god relics were dug out of the ground.
There are countless powerful instruments left in the ruins of the ancient gods, and books and scrolls that record profound wisdom, however, the remaining creatures cannot carry the powerful power of the ancient gods, and all the creatures that touch these treasures explode and die.
At this time, humanity invented a means of trickery with its intelligence and ability to create a zĂ o that surpassed other races.
Draw out a small part of the power in the ancient god artifact, and then channel and transform this power...... After many methods of processing, it is resealed on a special carrier, so that it becomes a power that humans can withstand and use freely.
Humanity calls this new power Stigmata!
Peace, thus broken!
In a world full of remnants of sick and weak races, humanity gained unprecedented strength, and soon humanity expelled its allies who had shared the afflictions, drove all the aliens out of the fertile land, and even exterminated them.
The humans who occupied the fertile land in the southwest of the Elda continent directly named this place "Human Continent".
Since then, mankind has relied on the stigmata to open its own era, and even wants to re-embark on the road of chasing the gods, until now, the excavation and research of the stigma is still the most important thing in various countries, and almost all national activities are related to the stigma.
Stigmata~~~~
Tian Xian sighed secretly, could it be that he was not a human being? Why can't he inherit the stigma only himself? From birth to the present, he has inherited hundreds of stigmata himself, and all of them have failed without exception, even the most basic stigmata that can be inherited by human beings.
"It's free!"
Tianxian was stunned for a moment, and was about to come back to his senses, Sanniang's ancient book had hit his head, "You are wandering again!"
Touching his head, he smiled as if admitting his mistake.
Sanniang glared at Tianxian, walked away slowly, and continued to talk about the book.
Secretly looked at Sanniang, grinned idly, and then hurriedly turned around and took out a serious appearance to listen to the lecture.
Sanniang was originally not from Huowu Mountain, she came from the human continent in the southwest, traveled here in the early years, was attracted by the strange scenery here, and married the third uncle under the great favor of the third uncle, and since then she has stayed here and become Sanniang.
Sanniang is a stunning beauty from head to toe, she used to be, and now she is, it is said that when she married the third uncle, several of the third uncle's brothers couldn't think of looking for death and life......
Sanniang is well-informed and is the homework teacher of the children in the clan, but the children call her "Cold Face Saburo" in private.
But Tianxian knows that Sanniang is actually a very gentle woman, she has already memorized the ancient book, and it is specially used to beat people when she holds it in her hand, but she has always wrapped the hard book edge in writing, and the hollow ancient book makes a person's "Peng Peng" sound, but it doesn't hurt much.
The morning lecture was quickly over, and the children rushed out of the compound in a swarm and ran clean in an instant.
"How is today?" Sanniang was packing up her things, and a middle-aged man with a fair face and a lovely smile walked up behind her.
"It's nothing special, it's just ......" Sanniang frowned, "Tian Xian really went to catch the iron-winged bird, and this matter must be talked to the patriarch." â
"This kid is getting more and more unpleasant!"
"Third uncle, you are saying bad things about me again. Tian Xian slipped over from nowhere, looking at the middle-aged man and grinning, with a look of intimacy.
The middle-aged man who was called the third uncle by Tianxian looked at Tianxian's smile on his face, and shook his head a little helplessly, "Tianxian, you should be honest, if you continue like this, you can only stay in Jingtan in the future." â
"I know! Thank you for the teachings of the third uncle!" said Tian Xian, smiling brightly.
The third uncle sighed in his heart, this kid is very talkative, but his temperament is more stubborn than anyone else, "The patriarch is looking for you, go quickly." â
"Oh...... What are you looking for me for?" Tian Xian's face immediately changed slightly.
"Don't worry, it's not your business to catch the iron-winged bird. The third uncle rubbed Tianxian's head vigorously, "It's a good thing!"
Tianxian seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, said goodbye to the third uncle and Sanniang with a smile, and quickly ran towards the largest house in front of the compound.
"What do you think...... Both are likable kids. The third uncle twisted his sparse beard and said with a little pity.
Sanniang had a faint worry in her eyes: "In the past two years, he didn't listen to me when I talked about other things, and when I talked about the beast spectrum, he was full of energy, and when I talked about the Cloud Swallowing Beast just now, he listened very seriously, I was really afraid of ......."
The third uncle smiled, "He can't inherit the stigma, so he is naturally more interested in other things, but he is so clever, he naturally knows what to touch and what not to touch, don't worry!"
"I saw that Tong Hu broke his stool, he didn't speak, just sat like that all morning, I beat him, he just admitted his mistake, just laughed, I thought...... If he can be angry and sue Tong Hu, he can cry...... A child doesn't have to be so strong. Sanniang's eyes were faintly red.
The third uncle sighed and patted Sanniang's shoulder gently, "The men of Huowu Mountain should be like this, he is idle...... It needs to be like this even more, when he and Yaoyao grow up, the situation will get better. â
"But Yaoyao ......"
"Once the patriarch is in charge, you don't have to worry about it. â
Looking at the main hall, Sanniang sighed, "Hongyan has to leave tomorrow, this kid is going to be alone again, and he will ...... then."
"Didn't you punish him to face the wall in Jingtan, punish him a few more times, and the time will pass. The third uncle said a little irresponsible.
"You!" Sanniang suddenly stared at her apricot eyes, and she was angry.
"There's nothing wrong with this, our brother also came here like this when he was a few years old, and my shoes were eaten by that herring!" The third uncle had a rather boastful expression on his face, and stretched his feet cooperatively.
Seeing that Sanniang was not amused by herself at all, the third uncle had no choice but to withdraw his feet and sigh softly: "There is no holy mark, the road to leisure in the future will be very difficult, at this time, knock him more, this child's words...... He withstood it. â
Sanniang's eyes flashed with unbearability, but she had no choice but to sigh, pack up her things and go back to the house silently.
