"What is the little trial?" The boy raised his head and asked with doubts on his face.

"The small trial is a way for tribal warriors to improve their soul power. It is held every three years, usually during the dry season. At that time, the patriarch and Wu Zhu gather strength, open the barrier, and the subjects enter it to accept the trial. It usually takes seven days. After the barrier dissipates, the living can escape from it and their soul power will increase greatly, while the dead will be kept in the barrier forever. The small trial is the first test to enter the realm of the soul warrior. If you get out of the trial, you can transform into form. In addition to the small trial, there is also the big trial, which is also once every three years. It is held before the small trial and held in the middle of winter. The big trial is a must for the soul brave to upgrade To be carried out, low-level soul warriors enter the trial territory, as long as they can escape, they will definitely be able to increase their soul level and become stronger."

When the boy heard the boy's question, he knew everything.

"Is this the only way to obtain soul power?" The little boy seemed very interested in this question, and continued to ask: "I heard from Master Baiyu that the courage of the Yu clan can be directly condensed."

"Courage exists between heaven and earth, and can be condensed by itself. Soul power only exists in the trial environment. Except for the trace of soul power that each ethnic group is born with, if you want to get more, you must enter the enchantment."

"What does soul power look like?" the boy asked after thinking about it.

"Want to see?"

The boy nodded again and again, looking curious.

Seeing this, the smile on the young man's face flashed away, and he spread out his palms, and the soul power in his body was slowly condensed and formed in the palm following the pull of his thoughts, and the condensed soul power was like a mass of vigorously dancing However, unlike the blazing white color of courage, the flame condensed with soul power is dark blue, with some invisible destructive power, as if once touched, it will hurt.

Wu Jiu stared at the dim but still conspicuous cyan flame in front of her, and heard the young man behind her say: "All things have spirits, they can give birth to "souls" and "souls", and condensing souls can break through ten thousand junctures, gathering spirits and ghosts No fear, my father once said, whether it is soul power or courage, as long as you are strong enough, you will have no fear when encountering enemies."

Wu Jiu was deeply convinced of this, and couldn't help nodding her head again and again.

But the boy said again: "Okay, since you already know what you want to ask, hurry up and learn calligraphy with me." As he spoke, he stroked the boy's hair and pushed his raised head back to the desk , Continuing the study just now, this conversation originally started because Rong Xiao accidentally mentioned the little trial next year, but now it has diverged so much, the young man stopped the conversation, naturally he wanted to remind himself of the thoughtful and questioning question in front of him. The primary school students take care as soon as possible.

Wu Jiu has no objection to being pressed to continue studying. The so-called desk in front of him is the low table that he first settled down on. Now, a bone pen and a pot of water are placed on the low table, which immediately becomes a real study. place.

Wu Jiu knelt in front of the short table, the young man hugged him from behind, and with the bone pen, dipped in clear water, wrote the new characters to be learned today on the desk, and after the gestures were clearly written, he explained the meaning of the words, So Wu Jiu dipped in the water to practice and memorize it.

For a period of time, Wu Jiu has learned all the feather characters, but now she is learning more characters and memorizing more characters.

The so-called bone pen is a kind of soft brush. The pen tube is made of animal bones, hence the name. The style is very similar to the brushes Wu Jiu has seen in her previous life, but it is more difficult to control when writing. As for the animal skin roll paper, There is no need to think about it, it belongs to the category of luxury, and no one in the tribe owns it except the patriarch and Wu Zhu. Fortunately, Wu Jiu does not feel that the learning conditions are difficult at all. Now he can find a basic teacher without reservation , has already hit the big luck, and dare not ask for more.

Taking advantage of the boy's writing time, he used his fingers to write and draw on one side as a practice. When the water stains on the big characters written by the boy dried up, he also took the bone pen, dipped it in clean water, and silently wrote out the newly learned characters , the two of them can learn eight to ten characters in one night, which is more efficient than in the big white bird's shed.

In her previous life, Wu Jiu practiced soft-brush calligraphy for a period of time in order to cultivate her sentiments. When she became proficient in using this bone pen, the characters she wrote were neat and graceful. The young man's handwriting was even better than him, and his handwriting was vigorous and powerful. With a majestic aura, it is said that people are judged by words, Wu Jiu vaguely glimpsed the youth's gentle appearance, the incomparable majestic aura.

The young man didn't think so much like Wu Jiu, and he couldn't help but regret seeing Wu Jiu's graceful handwriting disappearing with the dried water stains: "There is also a knife and pen, which is made of a bone knife. The pen doesn't need animal skin paper, it only needs a whole piece of animal bone or a smooth stone slab to write on. Although it is inconvenient to carry, it can still store handwriting. If you want to use it, I will exchange it for a piece of animal bone tomorrow. "

Hearing the words, Wu Jiu shook his head repeatedly, not interested in the young man's proposal at all, engraving characters, that's fine, he only learned characters for the convenience of use, and didn't want to learn such a thankless way of recording at all, seeing him, Rong Xiao couldn't help but Laughing, not reluctantly.

After the two of them learned today's content, Rong Xiao let Wu Jiu play aside, and started to cook by himself. Since Wu Jiu started to practice courage silently, she didn't come to Rong Xiao every day, most of them would come once every three or four days. However, Every time before he leaves, he will make a good habit of making an appointment with the young man when he will come back next time, so that Rong Xiao can prepare in advance.

Rong Xiao is in charge of cooking, and Wu Jiu is in charge of eating. This is a tacit understanding formed after many days of running-in. The ingredients are prepared long ago, and Rong Xiao can take them out of the low cabinet and use them.

Wu Jiu turned to look at the ingredients brought out, and saw the animal meat that was still shining with oil at a glance, and her eyes lit up.

Rong Xiao pointed at the animal meat and said, "I traded it for your fine grain, and I'll let you try it today."

Hearing the sound, Wu Jiu couldn't help bending his eyebrows and showing a big smile, but he was not only happy because he wanted to eat delicious food, but more importantly, he found that Rong Xiao finally stopped seeing outsiders and began to share the essence he gave. Valley to use.

Ever since she developed the habit of saving food, every time Wu Jiu came, she stubbornly wanted to eat the "fine grain" she brought. Take out the fine grains and cook them. Naturally, the cooked food does not have the reason why Wu Jiu eats alone. He will naturally invite Rong Xiao to eat together. From now on, having dinner together has become the proper meaning.

Rong Xiao was unwilling to eat the food that Wu Jiu had so easily "accumulated", but he was finally defeated by Wu Jiu's stubbornness.

There were many reasons for Wu Jiu to invite Rong Xiao to eat together, and in the end she pointed to the water bowl and bone pen in front of the desk and said, "I practice calligraphy here, and I wanted to pay the tuition fee, but now it's all paid for by meals, so what's the matter?" Can't?"

This fallacy made Rong Xiao laugh, but he finally silently accepted the kindness from the little guy, and what's more, the lack of supplies this winter made him unable to refuse.

Eating together at night made Rong Xiao's lack of supplies not so fast. Rong Xiao sometimes wondered, did the little guy see the embarrassment of his lack of supplies, and that's why he made such a bad move?Then he shook his head in disbelief, that was just a little guy in rigid shape, ignorant and immature like a toddler, where did he come from this city.

The two sat down in front of the firepit.Afterwards, Wu Jiu watched Rong Xiao's movements with great interest, and the young man had a neat aesthetic feeling when cooking.

However, the young man grabbed a large handful of fine grains and submerged them in water, and then burned them in a pot. Going slowly into the grains, making the bland meal attractive, Wu Jiu sniffed, looking forward to seeing the bulging steaming pot, looking forward to a good meal tonight.
