After the laughter, the atmosphere gradually became calmer. The barbecue was dripping with oil on the fire, and the sizzling sound aroused everyone's excitement.
"It will take a while and it will be cooked."
Jiang Qingshan is the one who is least anxious.
"Village Chief, I have a question." Chen Yao suddenly said.
"Are you asking when you will truly awaken?"
"Yes."
Chen Yao frowned, as if he was not satisfied with the speed of awakening. So far, there have only been some signs.
He thought he would truly wake up after his serious illness yesterday, but nothing happened. Yun Xi could obviously jump several meters, so why didn't he change anything? !
"Chen Yao, listen, not everyone can awaken. In this ancient world, all creatures and even beasts will carry a little bit of the source of waste in their bodies when they are born."
"The binding ritual you performed yesterday only further stimulated the power of Huangyuan. If you want to truly cross that door, you need to understand it yourself, either in battle or in the process of thinking."
"Do you know how many people are awakened in this Black Abyss Village?"
Chen Yao shook his head.
"Less than 10%, less than a hundred people."
"so little?!"
"After performing the binding ceremony, it can take as short as a few stars or as long as a few stars and moons before you can truly cross the door! Becoming a bound servant is just the beginning. In the realm of the bound gods, even in 631 where we are Planets can only be considered the most ordinary existences."
After Jiang Qingshan said this, he sighed heavily.
"Ah! No wonder my sister can change so quickly! Since she was twelve years old, she has been practicing archery for three hours every day, and then running around the village in a big circle!"
Qiu Yueli raised her little hand.
"No wonder you have such a good figure..."
Lili looked at her little plain again and muttered softly.
"Who am I? The chief of Qingshan Village is the real genius!"
Qiu Yunxi rarely refuted.
"Did you know? When the village chief advances, he does so before the binding ceremony!"
"Yun'er, don't talk nonsense. If you don't perform the binding ceremony, how can you possibly awaken?"
Qiu's father pulled his daughter's arm and scolded her.
"It's true. Miss Yunxi should have learned about it from the book [Visions of Black Abyss Village] in the library, right?"
Jiang Qingshan looked at Qiu Yunxi with a look of admiration in his eyes.
"That's right." Qiu Yunxi replied.
"That book belongs to the village chiefs of the past generations. It records some things that go against common sense in the village, including, of course, my own anomalies. It's not a big deal. It probably has something to do with the fact that I read a lot of books when I was a child. "
The old village chief said thoughtfully.
"Why?" Chen Yao asked puzzled.
"Because of the wild skills I awakened, one is called wisdom and the other is called photographic memory."
"Ah! No wonder Grandpa Qingshan is so smart! It turns out he has read a lot of books!" Qiu Yueli said with a smile.
"Then old village chief, how should I know what the wild skill I have awakened is?"
"Haha, you will know after you truly awaken." Jiang Qingshan smiled mysteriously.
"Next, let me tell you about the strength levels of the Bound God Realm. I have said before that after ordinary star citizens awaken, they are Bound Servants. After the Bound Servants advance, they are Bound Gray Bronze. The bound one is shining silver and the bound one is shining gold.”
"You just need to understand these. For the higher levels, haha, I will tell you when you reach that level. Maybe you will know it yourself."
Jiang Qingshan smoothed his goatee.
"That must be difficult!" Chen Yao scratched his head.
"Of course. Every advancement after awakening must rely on your own efforts. There will no longer be any binding ritual to help you."
"So why has no one in Black Abyss Village successfully advanced in hundreds of stars? Alas! Is our village really hopeless?"
Speaking of this, Jiang Qingshan actually showed a bit of sadness.
"Grandpa! Don't worry, I, eldest brother, Yue Li and Yun Xi will definitely not let you down. We will strive to break this shackles that no one can advance!"
Xiaohu's words were sonorous, and his chest thumped loudly.
The other three people did not say anything, but their eyes were extremely firm.
"My dear grandson, your words are enough. You little guys, please don't rush for success. Preservation of yourselves is the most important thing!"
Jiang Qingshan nodded.
Everyone responded.
"Then, one more thing, do you know where the Binding Dial comes from?"
"Is it that scary big iron ring? That's not our village..."
Before Chen Yao finished speaking, he was suddenly startled. A discerning person would know at a glance that such a thing as the Binding Dial could not have been made by Heiyuan Village.
"Yes, the Binding Dial belongs to our Black Abyss Village, but it comes from outside the abyss."
Sensing the unusual expressions on Chen Yao and the other little guys, Jiang Qingshan said calmly.
"Do you still remember the outsider who visited Black Abyss Village three days ago?"
"I know, I know. They also gave the village chief a box. Is it the Binding Dial in it? Eh, no, the size doesn't match, and there is only one Binding Dial..."
Qiu Yueli twisted her clothes in distress.
"What's inside is exactly what each of you is equipped with."
The old village chief spoke up at the right time.
"The ring."
When everyone was wondering, Qiu Yunxi had already given the answer.
"Yes, one of the functions of the binding ring is to collect objects. Although living objects cannot be included, dead objects placed in it will remain in their original state for a long time. The higher the physique, the more things can be stored."
"Another function is to awaken the desolate source energy in your body by connecting to the Binding Dial."
"Every five star years, these outsiders will come to Black Abyss Village. In fact, it's not just Black Abyss Village. They will go wherever there are star citizens in the Binding God Realm. The purpose is to distribute binding rings."
"Every star citizen in the God Binding Domain, from nobles to mortals, wears a Binding Ring, and the Binding Sundial was also sent by them."
"Their name is the God-Binding Envoy. The God-Binding Envoy is a very special existence in the God-Binding Domain. They only obey the orders of God-Binding Lord. What they execute is the will of God-Binding Lord."
Speaking of this, Jiang Qingshan looked pious.
"I hope that one day, we can become that kind of existence." Yue Li said blankly.
"Yes, we can definitely do it."
Chen Yao gently pinched Qiu Yueli's little face. Well, that feeling was so hard to put it down.
The old village chief suddenly came back to his senses and seemed to have thought of something important.
"One more thing! Everyone knows that Black Abyss Village is built on the wall of the abyss. It takes thirty miles to the east to reach the real Black Abyss."
"It's also called the Endless Black Abyss because no one knows how deep it is or what's underneath."
"I have asked the Lord Godbinder for advice, but even they don't know! So, remember, don't get close to the endless black abyss!!"
After using two remembers in a row, one can imagine how dangerous the endless black abyss is.
Everyone nodded solemnly.
"Okay, that's all I have to say, Qing Yan, quickly divide the meat into pieces and show it to the greedy children."
Jiang Qingshan smiled gently.
"Ah~ the barbecue is ready! My stomach is already growling! Yeah!"
Qiu Yueli turned her head and raised her hands in the air, cheering.
"I can do this!"
"Huzi! Do you know that the crested rooster and rock-skinned pig are full of treasures!"
"I packed the iron-crowned chicken's beak, iron-crowned chicken's feathers, rock-skinned pig skin, and rock-skinned pig's tusks a day in advance. When I returned to the village, I handed them over to Blacksmith Li, the owner of the village. Ask him to reinforce your equipment. Come on, it should be delivered later."
Jiang Qingyan turned to Jiang Hu while dividing the barbecue.
"I know, thank you father!" Xiaohu said excitedly.
"Uncle Qingyan is so nice! Hee hee!"
Qiu Yueli said while nibbling on the iron crown chicken leg.
"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu"”””
Chen Yao tore into the rock-skinned pig head with big mouthfuls and cried out uncontrollably. The taste was real, and so were the tears.
Everyone:..........
"Okay...it's so embarrassing. Can I not practice with Brother Yao?"
Qiu Yueli looked at Qingshan Village Chief, her big eyes full of sincerity.
"Well...boy Chenyao, stop for a moment, don't be in a hurry to eat."
Qingshan put his left hand on the binding ring and spread out his palm, which was a small rag bag.
"Huh? What's wrong?"
Chen Yao put down the pig head in his hand.
"Haha, don't you think it tastes a little bit less?"
The old village chief laughed.
"Yeah, but it's good to have barbecue."
Chen Yao wiped the oil stains from the corner of his mouth and said puzzledly.
Jiang Qingshan used his two fingers to twist out some powder from the bag.
"Ah! It's salt!"
Qiu Yueli exclaimed. It's hard to imagine how a person could be so surprised just by seeing salt, but this is an extremely evil place under the black abyss where basic resources cannot be guaranteed. Under the black abyss, all living beings suffer.
"Haha, yes, this is the ration of three stars and moon salt for us three father and son."
The old village chief held the rag bag tightly and said cautiously.
"Grandpa Qingshan, I heard that salt is hard to find. These salts are all found in the abyss wall. You may not be able to find a small piece in a month!"
Qiu Yueli swallowed.
"Yes, under the black abyss, salt only exists in the rocks on the abyss wall. However, the rocks in the black abyss are extremely hard. Normal mining tools cannot cut through the hard rock."
"However, most wild beasts, such as crested chickens and rock-skinned pigs, will often destroy rocks because they also need salt. The big guys rely on the gaps destroyed by foreign beasts to find salt, and occasionally they can find some minerals."
Jiang Qingshan stared closely at the coarse salt grains in his fingers.
"The rock-skinned pig and the iron-crowned rooster are still good friends in our Heiyuan Village! Hmm! Didn't Uncle Qingyan do something bad..."
The chicken drumstick in Qiu Yueli's hand suddenly lost its aroma.
"No, no! Xiao Yueli, our Black Abyss Village has banned the hunting of crested pheasants and rock-skinned pigs a long time ago!"
"Didn't I tell these two that they fainted on their own... If I don't catch them, they will be eaten by other strange beasts after a while."
Jiang Qingyan hurriedly waved her hands and explained.
"Haha, come on, I'll show you some new moves I've learned!"
The old village chief closed his eyes tightly at first, then exhaled a long breath, and then opened his eyes, his eyes were shining!
I saw him twisting the salt grains in his left hand high and leaning forward, with his left elbow protruding forward and his wrist bent backwards, twisting his two fingers in an extremely enchanting posture. The salt grains were first sprinkled on the old village chief's elbow, and finally slipped off. To the rock-skinned pig head in Chen Yao's hand.
This set of movements can be described as smooth and smooth, done in one go! You can imagine how many times the old village chief has practiced (waste) (salt) in private.
Everyone first said:! ! ! Then gradually: (O_o)??
Jiang Qingshan explained as if he found the atmosphere a bit awkward.
"I learned this from an ancient book called [The Wonderful Story of Blue Star]. The ancient book records that this way of spreading salt seems to make the food more delicious. Chen Yao, give it a try."
"Uh...Okay, I'll try it, mmmmmm...mmmmmm!! It's so delicious, oooooooooo."
"Brother Yao started again..."
Then, as if he was afraid that the atmosphere would become awkward again, the old village chief sprinkled salt on everyone's barbecue in the normal way.
"Oh, it took a lot of time to practice this. What went wrong..."
Qingshan sighed softly, then closed his mind and thought deeply.
"Grandpa Qingshan! What a waste!" Lili said in shock.
"It doesn't matter, the worst thing we can do is save the three stars and moons of us three father and son, hehehe."
"Father, what...why do you keep reading these useless books? I have long said that such useless books should be thrown into the dark abyss!"
"And you hid some books in the library, such as plums, vases, palaces, and springs. Don't think I don't know! I'll pack them all up later!" Jiang Qingyan said dissatisfied.
"no!"
Jiang Qingshan was so angry that he puffed his beard and glared, then slapped his thigh and shouted, Chen Yao has never seen the old village chief be so rude!
"Ah, those books, ummm...I've read those books too, hehehe, they're about...um! Uh-huh!"
Chen Yao suddenly interrupted, but before he could finish his words, Yun Xi stuffed a chicken drumstick into his mouth and blocked his mouth.
"Shut up and eat chicken legs!"
"Uh-huh! Thanks... Se... Yi... Chicken."
Chen Yao said vaguely.
"What kind of book is that? Is it good? I'll do the same later..."
Lili also expressed doubts.
"Shut up and eat!" Yun Xi was full of energy.
"oh..."
Lili lowered her head and took small bites of the barbecue.
Qiu and his wife also buried their heads in eating without saying a word, unable to see the expressions on their faces.
"Haha, these are all foreign and unofficial histories. They are of no use to you, so just don't read them."
Jiang Qingshan returned to normal and said with a serious face, but for some reason, his old face was slightly red.
"Hey~Grandpa Qingshan, why are you blushing?"
"Haha, maybe I ate too quickly."
"Huh? But you haven't eaten much?"
"Ahem..."
[You should have roughly guessed the character of Old Man Jiang, hehehe, as for Chen Yao, the person who is close to Zhu is red, hehehe...]
