The Nine Cauldrons Chapter 16: New chief
Teng Jia Village is surrounded by high wooden fences and clan guards at the gate.
"The Hunters are back!" the gate guard yelled.
On the martial arts training ground, many ethnic people ran and laughed, but at a glance, many people's faces changed greatly, and they saw blood on the members of the hunter team and bandages, and Some corpses were carried.
A tribe is dead!
"Hadron!" The cry of sorrow sounded.
"Go and inform the patriarch!" Someone shouted immediately, his voice was stern.
...
A moment later, nearly 2,000 people gathered on the training ground, except for farming in the fields. Everyone's expression was very heavy, especially the families of some dead people, all kneeling on the ground in tears. The patriarch Teng Yunlong also had a sorrow on his face.
"This time the hunter team came up the mountain and met the wolf king on a tour! The hunter team died five people and four were disabled!" Teng Yunlong's voice was low, and there was a weeping cry in the crowd.
"Teng Yonglian, Teng Yongqiang, Teng Yongyi ..." Teng Yunlong reported five names in one go.
"They died for my Teng clan. The family of the five of them will give them one hundred and two silver compensations from each family. From today, the clan will support them!" The voice of Teng Yunlong did not seem to rise This is the old rule. One hundred and two silvers will be compensated for the clan's war death, and fifty-two silvers will be compensated for the disability. The families are supported by the entire clan.
Teng Qingshan watched this scene silently.
Over the years, although he once heard that another Zhuangzi was killed by the Bandits bandits, but he didn't see it, only he heard that there was no such shock. Because Teng Jia Village is a relatively strong big Zhuangzi, Bandits bandits generally do not want to mess with it, and White Horse Gang received Annual Tribute.
Teng Jia Village's tribe has been peaceful, no one has been killed for a long time.
After all, I entered the mountains and met the wolf king on a tour, which was only possible once in decades.
"Ignite!" The voice of Teng Yunlong suddenly remembered, awakening Teng Qingshan.
Cremation.
This is a rule within the clan.
A blaze of flames rose into the sky, and the corpse on the wood was once a familiar elder in the clan. Crying sounds all around, but more people are watching it silently. Because they have experienced deeper and more memorable suffering.
They have long known that in order to survive on this land, bleeding is necessary.
That's why the people practice hard since childhood and don't relax all day.
*******
The Teng family clan.
"Squeak!" The heavy iron door was opened, and the family members holding the five boxes of ashes were crying and entered the shrine.
Teng Qingshan and his father Teng Yongfan are together, watching this quietly. The ancestral hall space is huge, compared with that of the arsenal, it seems that there are boxes of urn in the ancestral hall. It can be said that there are thousands of them. The densely packed urn is neatly arranged.
"This is the ashes of my ancestors who died for the clan for thousands of years." Teng Qingshan also knows this.
Not everyone can enter the shrine.
In the thousands of years of the Teng clan, those who died for the clan and contributed to the clan can only enter the shrine after death. And generally mediocre, after death, cremation at most, can not enter the shrine. The name cannot be named 'Teng Clan Stele'.
"Teng clan monument!"
Teng Qingshan looked at the temple hall with eye-catching large blocks standing tall and tall. Each stone had dense names, and each name represented the ancestors in the history of the Teng clan.
"Famous Stele of the Ming Dynasty." Teng Yunlong said lowly.
An old gray-haired man immediately walked under a huge stone stele with a carving knife and carefully carved the names of five people.
"Woohoo ..." The weeping of the deceased's family members made the atmosphere even more sad.
Teng Yunlong went to the family of the deceased. When the dead were the most powerful, most of their children were only teenagers, and the oldest was only twenty years old. Teng Yunlong touched the head of a child, and looked at the teenagers: "Your father is the hero of my Teng family, who died for the clan, you must be proud of them!"
"Hmm." each and every(one) teenagers nodded sharply.
A few years later, these teenagers will fight for the protection of their clan, just like their fathers. The Teng family can last for millennia because of this spirit of perseverance, passed down from generation to generation.
******
In the residence of the patriarch Teng Yunlong, eight people gathered in the hall.
In addition to the patriarch Teng Yunlong, there are Teng Yonglei, Teng Yongxiang, Teng Yongfan, and three elderly people in the clan, plus one person-Teng Qingshan!
"Yong Lei, you did a good job this time. The wolf king's body cannot be pierced by the sword, especially the wolf king's body is white and the fur is not damaged, which is better than the tiger. Big wolf king leather, many people who have money and status want to buy it, the price is not lower than that of ferret! "Teng Yunlong said.
The harvest within this tribe is indeed not small.
Wolf King skin, which is more scarce and precious than ferret skin, especially this Wolf King is white all over.
"The patriarch." Teng Yonglei said, "This time, there are actually Qingshan. If it weren't for him, we could escape a maximum of two or three people this time. Not to mention kill the wolf king, the four wolves and one The wolf king, and more than a hundred wild wolves, were all killed by Qingshan. "
Many people present looked at the Teng Qingshan, which was just a teenager.
Although some people died in this tragedy, they can live in this troubled world. When they knew the amazing force of Teng Qingshan, they felt an ecstasy in their hearts.
One kills a hundred wild wolves, four wolves, a wolf king ... how terrible a strong one? And such a strong man is less than ten years old, and how strong will he be when he reaches adulthood? The most important thing is ... such strong men belong to their Teng family!
"Qingshan, good job," said Teng Yunlong.
"Fortunately, Qingshan didn't go to Gui Yuan Sect at the beginning." Teng Yongxiang sighed, "If you are at Gui Yuan Sect, you may not have such a wonderful Spear Art. This child of Qingshan ... thinks better than others." When you know Teng Qingshan For the record, everyone defaults to the strength of Teng Qingshan.
The undisputed best man in the clan!
Teng Yunlong and some others, they are also glad that they did not send Teng Qingshan to Gui Yuan Sect. If Teng Qingshan is in Gui Yuan Sect, it will not help the clan. Unless Teng Qingshan stands high in Gui Yuan Sect, it may be helpful to the clan. Far away can not hydrolyze near thirst, Teng Qingshan is in the clan, of course, it will help the clan more.
"The long gun of Qingshan was broken when the King of the Wolf was killed, and that gun was too short for the current Qingshan." Teng Yongxiang said.
"Well, yes, it's time to change a long gun, Qingshan, go, we go to the arsenal now." Teng Yunlong stood up with a smile.
Teng Qingshan also walked towards the arsenal with everyone.
At that time, it was still a six-year-old child. The seven-foot Qing Nan gun was a bit too long for Teng Qingshan. But now he is over nine years old, and after three months, he will be ten years old. His height today is five feet eight inches (one meter four or five). Another seven-foot long gun is too short. In terms of his height, the optimal length of a long gun is about seven feet six inches.
The arsenal opens suddenly.
"Qingshan, choose a long gun." Teng Yunlong smiled.
There are many lances stored in the clan. There is no need for special refining at all. You only need to select them.
Wooden spears, even the tallest green nanmu, are considered to be inferior to Teng Qingshan.
"Here is the ordinary big iron gun, and Damascus Steel Spear! The quality of the iron gun is much worse than Damascus Steel Spear, and it is much lighter." Teng Qingshan walked around, stayed on a Damascus Steel Spear rod, and stretched out with one hand , Try to wave twice, "This Damascus Steel Spear rod has good craftsmanship, and the weight is just right, with the tip of the gun, almost two meters. Although it is slightly higher, it has no effect on me. I can continue to use it for a period of time . "
Teng Qingshan turned to look at Teng Yunlong: "Grandpa, just do it."
"Qingshan, this is a superior Damascus Steel Spear, plus a gun head, the gun is eight feet long, and weighs 52 kilograms. If you encounter a group battle, it will take too much effort, change it." Teng Yunlong said that human strength is limited. If he wields heavy weapons for a long time, it will be exhausted with time.
Teng Qingshan smiled: "Just do it, don't change it!"
When the ‘gun-gun-in-one’ level is reached, when using the Teng Qingshan, the muscles of the body are only partially exerted. This part of the muscle is exerted, and the other part of the muscle is resting. I am afraid that it will not be tired after playing for a day. In his shape, Grandmaster's ability to control bones and muscles, how can he be tired by playing a 52-pound lance.
Not to mention, he still has Inner Strength!
"Okay, but I can't say you." Teng Yunlong went to the box with a smile and turned out the matching gun tip. This Damascus Steel Spear process is really good. The gun head is connected to spear shaft, not a card slot type, but contains a thread about one foot long, which firmly connects the gun head to the spear shaft.
The red pupa is carrying a **** gas, obviously this Damascus Steel Spear drink countless blood.
"Well?" Teng Qingshan was surprised to twist spear shaft, turning it, splitting spear shaft in half.
Teng Yunlong smiled and said: "This spear shaft is divided into two sections, and the center is also threaded. Usually, the long gun is too long and can be disassembled. Wait until it is used, then connect it." Teng Qingshan is very satisfied with this skill, will After the Damascus Steel spear was connected, they danced casually twice.
"Hoo, hoo!"
Gun shadows are flying, with a howling sound that pierces the air.
"Yes." Teng Qingshan is more satisfied. The toughness of Damascus Steel Spear is very good. If Inner Strength is instilled, it will not matter if it bears tens of thousands of pounds of force.
"The patriarch." At this time Teng Yonglei on the side spoke, with a bit of bitterness on his face, "I have broken my left arm, and it is no longer suitable for the hunter's chief. From today, I will stay in the patriarch Here. As for the hunter team chief, patriarch, you should also choose another person. "
The atmosphere changed suddenly.
"Yonglei." Teng Yongfan patted Teng Yonglei's shoulder comfortably and broke his left arm. This is a very painful thing for a still-savvy man.
"Yong Lei, you will stay in the clan in the future, as for the Hunters chief ..." Teng Yunlong turned his head and focused on Teng Qingshan.
Several other elderly people present, as well as Teng Yongfan, Teng Yonglei, and Teng Yongxiang all turned to look at Teng Qingshan.
Teng Qingshan startled?
What do you mean, yourself? I still have three or four months, only ten years old.
"Qingshan!" Teng Yunlong stared at him. "The hero doesn't ask young people. In this troubled world, regardless of age, only your strength! From today, you are the hunter's chief! You have to remember ... you now Already the first man of our Teng family! As the first person in the family, you must bear responsibility! "
Teng Yongfan also looks at his son: "Qingshan, a man must have a role! The best man in the clan must have the role of the first man. From today on, you will learn to assume this responsibility. It ’s up to you! ”
"Yes, Dad." Teng Qingshan suddenly felt that a responsibility fell on him.
Fathers, grandfathers and other people took the lead in solving the various problems of the clan in the past. He can be carefree.
And from today, he must stand up!
