Chapter 2 Lighting Conference
"Xiao Li, Xiao Bai and Xiao have got up. Today's lighting conference must be prepared early." Xiao Bai was still asleep and heard a loud roar outside the door. The voice was full of anger, a little domineering and irresistible. Xiao Bai opened his eyes and looked from the window. There was only a faint light at the place where the skylight was emitted.
The light is like the sun, reminding people what time it is every day. It is weak at dawn, strong at noon, and it is dim in the evening.
Xiao Bai couldn't help smiling bitterly. This father is really good at tossing people. So early, there is still a lot of time before the lighting conference, and the Xiao clan is so close to the sky, so there is no need to be so anxious.
I got up helplessly. After washing and coughing, I reluctantly opened the door. It was a good time. I got up early and missed the warmth in the quilt.
"Dad!"
In front of Xiao Bai, an old man wearing black animal skin and hanging many small bones on his chest is playing a set of boxing skills. The old man has a ruddy face and a bright smile. At a glance, he knows that he is very healthy. The old man is Xiaotan, the patriarch of the Xiao clan, Xiao Li and Xiao Bai Xiao Xiao, who are all his adopted children.
The door opened one after another, and Xiao Li also washed well and said early.
"Dad, good morning!" As soon as Xiao Xiao's door opened, he jumped and ran to Xiaotan, holding Xiaotan's hand, which was extremely intimate.
Xiaotan had to stop practicing boxing and said seriously, "You need to be prepared for today's lighting meeting. Have you all figured out the lamp soul you need?"
The three nodded together, saying that they had already thought about it.
Xiaotan was satisfied and ordered, "Xiao Xiao, go and sort out Xiao Bai's life lamp. I'll take them to call the rest of the Xiao clan and rush there together later."
Xiao Xiao answered and turned back to the room.
Xiaotan led the two and walked slowly.
"Xiao Li, what do you want to get?"
"Dad, the child wants to get a tiger as the lamp soul and has the power to protect the people they want to protect." Xiao Li said very sincerely and directly expressed his wish.
Xiao Tan saw Xiao Li's eyes and immediately showed solemnity: "Xiao Li, in fact, Dad hopes that you can choose the lamp soul of the plant system. You are thick by nature and don't like to fight. You just pay silently and choose the lamp soul of the plant system, which is more suitable for you. Moreover, Xiao Xiao doesn't know anything. She is a girl. Over the years You are taking care of her. Only when you choose the lamp soul of the plant system will you have the ability to sense, know where the fragments of the lamp soul are, and be able to give more help to others.
"The defense in the village is not weak, and I, the Xiao people, are not cowardly, and there is no problem at all. However, you can't let the lamp soul lose its balance, otherwise it will be difficult for the Xiao clan to develop. Everything needs to be coordinated. Only when it is well coordinated can the Xiao family have hope. As a patriarch, I can't be selfish. Every family's children will be transferred. You are the boss of my Xiao family, so the responsibility is heavier.
Xiao Li was silent for a while. Knowing this matter, his father had already made arrangements. He just followed them. He chose to tell himself at this time, but he didn't want to have a painful time. Once it was settled, there was no need to be delusional. Xiao Li was speechless and nodded heavily.
"I've wronged you, son! Xiao Bai, how about you? Xiao Tan sighed secretly. Living in this underground, he will be somewhat wronged. He can only blame himself for being the patriarch and must play an example. The patriarch of the Xiao clan, the lamp soul of each generation is changed, and the next generation of patriarch must be the plant lamp soul. Only in this way can the people of the Xiao clan see the shortcomings of the Xiao clan and improve it. At this moment, when they see Xiao Li agree, they ask Xiao Bai.
"Dad, what kind of lamp soul do you want me to choose?" Xiao Bai looked gloomy. It seemed that this time, he also had no chance to choose by himself. At this moment, all the good hopes were dead. Xiao Bai couldn't help clenching his fist and sighing his fate.
Xiao Bai's face was lonely and was looked at by Xiao Tan. He couldn't help sighing: "Xiao Bai, for so many years, you have hidden your words in your heart. Dad doesn't know what you are thinking. Xiao Li is the eldest brother and has been wronged, but you can't be wronged. I'm the patriarch. There is still this right. If you I want to choose the animal lamp soul. Dad will never force you, but don't choose those useless ones. Dad's pangolin lamp soul is very good. You can fight and dig. You can think about it.
"I know!" Xiao Bai said silently.
Xiao Tan looked at the two brothers and couldn't help shaking his head and sighing. They were both good children, but the dream was ruthlessly smashed. But as long as it is properly arranged this time, it won't take long for the whole Xiao clan to reach the ground and see the real light. That is the starting point of the dream.
After Xiaotan left, Xiao Li took a few pieces of Xiao Suo, patted Xiao Bai on the shoulder and comforted him softly, "Xiao Bai, go and choose what you like. One of our brothers can help Xiao Xiao. Things in the clan can't help without the soul of the lamp.
Xiao Bai was silent. After a moment, he suddenly exerted his strength and ran to the light crazily.
"Xiao Bai!" Xiao Li shouted, afraid that Xiao Bai couldn't think about it, and quickly caught up with him. At this time, I don't know what Xiao Bai will do.
I happened to meet Xiao Xiao near my home.
"Oh, you're all back. Let's go to the venue together. Someone has already arranged it there." Xiao Xiao held three life lamps in his arms and handed them to Xiao Li and Xiao Bai.
This life lamp, which is said to be born, is the symbol of the people living in this darkness.
The life lamp represents a person's life. If a person does not die, the lamp will not be broken. If the lamp is broken, a person will die.
For a long time, Xiao Li and Xiao Bai's original lights have been kept by Xiao Xiao, but today is a good day to burn the lights, and naturally they should be controlled by themselves.
It is said that after everyone is born, they will be pulled by a mysterious force and plant their souls in the lamp, which is the life lamp. Then it will use the soul of life bred in the soil to directly ignite the life lamp and form a lamp soul, which is inseparable from human life.
The lamp burning conference is held in the skylight, because in the skylight, the lamp soul flint will fall at a fixed time, which is the only way to light the life lamp.
When Xiao Bai and the three arrived, there were no less than 10,000 people here. They all came from all ethnic groups to participate in the conference. It seemed that there was no shortage of dragons and tigers in today's conference.
Xiao Xiao asked, and someone immediately came to arrange the place. As the light became brighter and brighter, more and more people came. Hundreds of ethnic groups in this area will gather here.
"Xiao Xiao, I didn't expect you to really come. How about it? What are you going to choose as the lamp soul? If it's a plant, I'll give you some face and won't hit you. The enemy's road was narrow, and Li Zhen met the three again at this time.
"What I want to choose is my own business. You don't have to pretend!" Xiao Xiao has never given Li Zhen a good look, and this time is naturally no exception.
"That's, but you have to grab good things! Don't worry, my Li people will stare at you. Don't be pushed down into the sky. It will take decades to climb up. Li Zhen approached Xiao and said in a low and soft voice, "You Xiao, fight and digging. How can there be such a good thing? If it goes on like this, it won't take long to step on my Li people. I won't let all this happen."
"Let's see!" Xiao Xiao said viciously and disdained to have an insight with Li Zhen.
After a while, Xiaotan led a group of the Xiao clan and arrived at Qi. Seeing that Li Zhen and Xiao Xiao were looking at each other, it seemed that they had come to make trouble again. He couldn't help walking over and laughing, "Isn't this Li Zhen? What, come early in the morning to say hello. Come here, I happen to be a little uncomfortable recently, so you can come and practice with me.
As soon as Xiaotan's words fell, his whole body had turned into the shape of a pangolin, staring at Li Zhen coldly.
Li Zhen's face suddenly changed. Xiao Tan's belligerent name was famous, and he had already entered the realm of heart lamp. He was not an opponent. He forced a strong smile and said in panic, "What did the patriarch Xiao say? I haven't got my own lamp soul yet. When I get it, I will definitely play with the patriarch Xiao."
Li Zhen finished speaking, dusted under his feet and ran away grayly.
Xiao Tan smiled and led some elders of the Xiao clan to sit down in the designated position.
Xiao Bai was aside, looking at the elders of the Xiao clan slightly and was secretly shocked. The people standing behind Xiaotan were all cadres of the Xiao clan.
Xiao Wu: Heart Lamp Realm, Lamp Soul: Locust.
Xiao Lin: Heart Lamp Realm, Lamp Soul: centipede.
Xiao An: Heart Lamp Realm, Lamp Soul: Snake.
......
After Xiaotan arranged the crowd, the people who commanded the Xiao clan in front of Xiao Bai seemed to have been arranged and knew what kind of lamp soul they wanted.
"Well, I have told you what I want to say yesterday. After a while, the lamp soul flit stone in the sky comes down. You must try your best to get the lamp soul flit stone containing what you want. After you get it, immediately light up your destiny lamp. After you light up the lamp soul in the flit stone, it will be with your soul. Integrate and never leave each other. After that, the purpose of your life is to ensure that your life will last. No matter what happens, it can't be extinguished, otherwise your lives will follow.
Xiao Tan Dun said that I don't know how many times this situation has been said, but on such an occasion, it is still necessary to remind again.
"I understand!" The Xiao people shouted together.
"Dong-dong..."
A huge drum sound summoned the gathering of newcomers. Under the ground, all the family members who participated in the lighting conference were gathered in front of the skylight.
Arounding the skylight, the people of every family are arranged around here.
A thousand pairs of eyes, 10,000 pairs of eyes, and even more, stared at the source of the light without blinking.
The lighting conference is a life-and-death competition. The light, projected from the ground, has been shooting into the underground abyss. I don't know how many layers are underground. The Xiao people only reached this layer a hundred years ago.
One of the most basic common sense is that in this well-like light, you can never fall down, otherwise, it will take almost half a lifetime to climb up.
While robbing the frick, you must also ensure that you are not pushed down this well.
Under the expectation of everyone, some small spots suddenly appeared in the skylight. These small spots, all kinds of colors, faintly shining brightly, have begun to fall.
This is the firestone of the soul of the lamp, lighting the fire of the original lamp.
"Start!" A deep cry shook the heartstrings of everyone present.
Suddenly, there was a roar in the sky at the conference, and everyone rushed up, like a landslide, robbing the falling flints.
This firestone can light their own life lamp and make their power take a higher layer.
