There is a stalactite-like protrusion on the top of the pool.
Drops of water slowly dripped from the raised position and fell into the pool.
This is similar to the scenery of many caves in China. There is nothing surprising about it. The pool is not big, only about one meter in diameter.
There is a guardrail surrounding the cave, and there are many people surrounding the guardrail.
"Does baptism involve putting the child in that pool?" Lin Zhiming asked.
"How is this possible? If you put it in that pool, you will die!" Su Lie shook his head.
"Can someone die? Isn't it just water?" Lin Zhiming asked doubtfully.
"Remember what I just said, it's called the Extremely Cold Ice Spring. The temperature of the water there is so low that you can't even imagine it. Let alone children, if we adults fall into it, we will freeze to death in an instant!!"
Su Lie said seriously.
"Is this too exaggerated? The freezing point of water is zero degrees. This water has not frozen yet, which means that the lowest temperature cannot exceed zero degrees. If the temperature does not exceed zero degrees, how can people freeze to death in an instant when they enter." Lin Zhiming
He said with a frown.
"The freezing point of water is indeed zero, but this place is different from the outside world. The water temperature here is much lower than ice. There are no living creatures in that pool, because once any living creature enters the pool, it will be frozen into ice cubes. I
When I was a child, I saw a mouse fall into that pool, and when it was fished out later, it had turned into a piece of ice, and it shattered into slag when hit," Su Lie said.
Lin Zhiming looked at the pool in surprise.
The water temperature was below zero without freezing, which really surprised him.
However, considering that this place belongs to the Manifestation of Saints, these things do not seem so magical.
Lin Zhiming followed Su Lie to the edge of the crowd.
Many people gathered around the pool.
At this moment, Su Wushuang appeared.
He was holding a swaddle in his hand, and inside the swaddle was a baby who looked just a few days old.
There were some people following behind Su Wushuang, who should be Su Wushuang's family members.
"Deputy chief, congratulations!"
"Deputy chief, what a joy to congratulate you!" Many people clasped their fists and shouted at Su Wushuang.
"Hahaha, we are happy together, we are happy together!" Su Wushuang said to everyone with a big smile.
It was obvious that Su Wushuang was in a good mood.
While talking, Su Wushuang had already arrived at the pool.
He saw Lin Zhiming standing by the pool, frowned and asked, "Why are you here?"
"Second uncle, I brought him here. It's rare that our extreme cold ice spring is open without restrictions today. Let's bring him here to visit and feel the magic of the extreme cold ice spring." Su Lie said.
Su Wushuang was silent for a moment, and then said, "Okay, let's show these mortals what supernatural powers are!"
"Where is my father?" Su Lie asked.
"He will be here soon!" Su Wushuang said.
While talking, Su Guoshi walked in from outside the cave with a few people.
"Brother!" Su Wushuang bowed slightly and shouted.
"Father!" Su Lie shouted.
"Clan leader!" Others also shouted.
Su Guoshi walked up to Su Wushuang with a smile on his face, looked down at Su Wushuang's swaddled baby, and said with a smile, "This baby looks really like you, brother."
"That's not true, our ancestors said, it's a statue from another generation." Su Wushuang said with a smile.
"Well, I hope that your great-great-grandson and I, my great-great-nephew, can surprise all of us! The christening ceremony can begin." Su Guoshi said.
Su Wushuang nodded and called a few people wearing strange clothes. The others took a few steps back, exposing the open space next to the pool.
Those people in strange clothes came to the open space and started dancing.
After a few minutes, the dance ended.
Su Wushuang carried the infant baby to the edge of the pool.
"The ancestors of the Xiansheng clan, please bless our Xiansheng clan to prosper. Now I bring my great-great-grandson here to be baptized. I hope that the ancestors and ancestors will bless my great-great-grandson to have more spiritual enlightenment!" Su Wushuang said, holding the baby in his hand.
He raised it high above his head, then stretched forward, and finally placed the baby under the stalactite-like thing.
A drop of water gathered on the stalactite little by little, becoming bigger and bigger.
After a few seconds, the water bottom fell from the stalactite and landed on the baby's forehead with a clatter.
The water droplets melted away as soon as they touched the baby's scalp, leaving only a shallow mark on the baby's scalp.
The baby's whole body suddenly became tense, as if it had been suddenly frozen.
Lin Zhiming looked at this scene in surprise.
Is the so-called baptism actually like this?
A few seconds later.
Another drop of water condensed and fell on the baby's head.
"two!"
Many people around me shouted this number.
The baby's body still trembled visibly, then tensed up, and its small hands were held tightly.
Su Wushuang had a smile on her lips and still held the baby in her hands.
Then, the third drop of water fell.
"Three!" More people shouted the number, and the voice became louder.
The baby snorted, and Su Wushuang's expression changed slightly.
Fortunately, the baby just squeaked and made no other reaction.
Then, the fourth drop of water fell.
This time, the baby squeaked again and waved his hands uneasily.
"Hold on, great-grandson!" Su Wushuang said nervously.
The baby eventually returned to calm.
"Huh!" Su Wushuang exhaled a long breath.
"In the future, there will be at least five doors, which is not bad!" Su Lie said.
"What do you mean?" Lin Zhiming asked.
"If you cry after receiving a drop of extremely cold ice spring, you have mediocre qualifications. When you are eighteen years old in the future, you can open up to one spiritual orifice. If you cry after receiving two drops, you will be able to open up to two spiritual orifices at most. My nephew will receive four drops.
If you don’t cry, you will be able to open at least four to five spiritual orifices in the future. As the most qualified person among the younger generation of the entire Xiansheng clan, I only cried after receiving six drops of extremely cold ice spring during the baptism. At the age of eighteen
He opened six spiritual apertures when he was a child, and he can open four or five spiritual apertures at the age of eighteen. In the future, he will at least be the elder of the clan. My second uncle only opened five spiritual apertures and became the deputy clan leader." Su Lie.
Said in a low voice.
"So that's how it was calculated!" Lin Zhiming suddenly realized.
"Yeah!" Su Lie nodded.
"What if the child doesn't cry all the time? Or if he cries and then forcibly adds a drop? Will there be one more door opened?" Lin Zhiming asked.
"It is impossible not to cry. Once crying, it means that the child's physical endurance has reached the limit. At this time, the baptism must be stopped. If another drop is forcibly added, the final result will be that the child is frozen into ice cubes. That way
If so, the person who performs the baptism will be directly executed." Su Lie said.
"One more drop will freeze it into ice cubes?" Lin Zhiming asked in horror.
"Yes, not one drop more." Su Lie said seriously.
Lin Zhiming looked curiously at the baby in Su Wu's hands.
How many drops can this baby receive?
Snapped!
The fifth drop of extremely cold ice fell on the baby's head.
Everyone looked at the baby nervously. If the baby didn't cry, it meant that he would be able to open up to six spiritual apertures in the end.
This has reached the level of Su Lie! In the future, he is destined to become a heavyweight in the entire Xiansheng clan.
This time the baby's reaction was even greater. He squealed and twisted his body uneasily. His eyes were wrinkled tightly, as if he might cry at any time.
"Hold on, hold on!" Su Wushuang said excitedly.
It seemed that he heard his grandfather's words. After struggling for a while, the baby gradually regained his composure.
Still didn’t cry!
Wow!
There were bursts of cheers at the scene.
"Brother, you finally have someone in your lineage who can shoulder the burden of inheritance. If you inherit five drops of extremely cold ice spring without crying, you should be able to open six spiritual orifices in the future, just like Su Lie. In the future, Su Lie can
I have a powerful helper!" Su Guoshi said with a smile.
"Yeah, haha, I finally have six spiritual apertures in my lineage, haha!" Su Wushuang said with a smile.
"Why do you think there are six spiritual orifices? Can't you open seven?" Lin Zhiming asked in a low voice.
"Because the sixth drop must cry. I also cried when I reached the sixth drop. It is too difficult for a baby to block the sixth drop without crying. Our clan has inherited the six drops of extreme ice from the time we came to Changbai Mountain to now.
There are only two people who don't cry when they see the spring. One of them is my dad. My dad endured six drops of extremely cold ice spring and only cried when the seventh drop came. Therefore, when he was eighteen years old, he opened seven spiritual orifices.
And once the seven spiritual apertures are opened, if no one else in the same generation opens the seven spiritual apertures, it is destined to become the patriarch of our Xian Sheng clan in the future. The reason why my sister is valued by my father is because she endured the
She drank six drops of extremely cold ice spring without crying. If she had not eloped with anyone, then she would have been our next clan leader." Su Lie said solemnly.
"So that's it!" Lin Zhiming suddenly realized, and then asked, "Will there be any surprises? For example, after enduring six drops, only four spiritual orifices will be opened in the future."
"This is rarely the case. Unless you suffer great pain while growing up, or have mental problems, usually the first few drops of crying will open the corresponding spiritual orifice. For example, for me,
If you cry at the sixth drop, then I will open the six spiritual orifices." Su Lie said.
"Oh..." Lin Zhiming nodded.
At this time, everyone was congratulating Su Wushuang. Su Wushuang also seemed very excited. He continued to hold his offspring high and placed it under the stalactite, waiting for the sixth drop of the extremely cold ice spring to drip.
, and then his descendants will cry, and he can take back his descendants.
The sixth drop of extremely cold ice spring quickly condensed. After that, this drop of extremely cold ice spring finally fell from the stalactite and dripped on the child's head.
There was a snap.
The extremely cold ice spring spread out and disappeared as before.
The next moment, the baby's body tensed up again, and his mouth made another squeaking sound.
Just when everyone thought the baby would cry, the baby suddenly stopped making sounds.
