After the conference hall, there is a big courtyard, but there is no building here, just a small ancestral hall, more than 30 people standing casually in the conference hall, it seems crowded here, most people choose to stand in the courtyard outside the ancestral hall, only a few more important people such as Shenxue went inside. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

The ancestral hall is generally a place to worship ancestors, and there are generally many tablets or statues, and the ancestral hall of the Canglong family is the same, but the statues placed are a little different.

After Yue Ying carefully identified it and confirmed that she really couldn't see what kind of statue it was, she asked, "...... What's that thing?"

"That's a dragon, not a thing. Green laughed and said, "Because it's the Canglong family, it's a dragon, it's a great reason, right?"

Yes, it was a dragon with wings spread and looking down on everyone, but it looked like it had been some years, and some of the carved scales had fallen off, and the two front paws were still holding something, because she was not very close, and Yue Ying didn't see it clearly.

But he didn't need to stand on tiptoe to look, Miyuki had already stepped forward to take the thing down - it was a ceremonial sword, the turquoise blade was very thin, and at first glance it still didn't look sharp, although it was just a very ordinary sword, but when Miyuki walked out with it, everyone present - except Tsukizakura - held their breath.

"What's that sword?" asked Tsukizakura in a low voice.

Green said with some amusement: "Don't call the token of the Canglong family a thing. ”

"Is it important?"

"Of course it's important. Green stared at the sword in Shenxue's hand and said meaningfully, "It is said that the token has the secret of the Canglong family's reproduction to this day...... No one has ever found out about it, but it's said that it won't be fake. If it's fake, it's too bad. ”

The people here, only the two of them were still chatting, and those who understood the atmosphere a little bit had already kept silent, looking at Shen Xue solemnly, or at the sword in her hand.

Shenxue, who was holding the ceremonial sword, clubbed it to the ground in the eyes of everyone, and in front of her, it was Masa, who had already knelt down on one knee.

Even a proud dragon must kneel before a token that represents the family, and must kneel before those who disagree.

"The seventeenth generation of the Canglong family, Canglong Zheng. Deep Snow rarely used a more serious expression, and even with Tsukizakura, she cheered up.

"In. ”

Shenxue put the ceremonial sword on Zheng's shoulder, like a queen bestowing a knight on herself, "I'm very happy to see you become a real adult, from today onwards, you will have more responsibilities and obligations on your shoulders, and everything in the Canglong family will also be open to you, I hope you can work together with your clan to work hard for the future of the Canglong family." ”

"Of course, no matter what happens, I am the governor of the Canglong family. ”

"Well, that's good. Shenxue nodded, then turned the ritual sword around and put it in Zheng's hand, "Bring the wine!"

A maid walked up briskly with a bowl and placed it on the ground in front of Masa, and when Tsukizakura wondered why she was doing this, Masaka suddenly picked up the ceremonial sword and slashed it quickly on her wrist.

The crimson blood flowed down his fingers into the bowl, and it could be seen that the blade of the ritual sword was very sharp, not consistent with its rough appearance. When the blood had flowed and there was a small half bowl, Masacai took the towel handed by the maid and wrapped his wrist.

"It's ...... What are you doing?" asked Tsukizakura, a little shocked.

"When a male tribesman reaches adulthood, he drinks wine mixed with his own blood to represent that he has the so-called manly blood...... Probably so, very outdated ritual. Green pulled open his cuffs and showed a thin mark on his wrist to Yueying, "At that time, I was too light, and it was not enough to bleed for half a day, not only embarrassing but also super painful." ”

"Uncle Green, are you also from the Canglong family?" asked Yueying empathetically, clasping her wrist.

"Ah, it's a little bit of a blood relationship, but it's just a little, after all, I'm just a relative, and it's just because my family doesn't have enough so I pulled me to make up the numbers. Green looked at Zheng, who was drinking blood wine, and sighed: "There is no comparison with Zheng. ”

"Really?"

"Yes, after all, he is the heir of the family, and he is young and promising and has real power, and the eldest lady just has the name of her own family, and she can't compare with him in terms of strength. ”

Yue Ying knew who Green was referring to as the eldest lady, except for her sister who was sick in bed, no woman in the Canglong family could be qualified to be called the eldest lady. "My sister is sick...... Quite normal. ”

Green patted Tsukizakura on the shoulder, "So you have to come on." ”

"Hmm!" replied Tsukizakura firmly.

On the other side, the coming-of-age ceremony was nearing the end, and after drinking the blood wine and putting the ritual sword back on the dragon's claws, it was already over, but for some reason, Masaka stayed by Shenxue's side and said something to the latter.

Then, Miyuki looked at Tsukizakura's side and smiled with a smile that made Tsukizakura very uncomfortable.

"Canglong Yueying, are you there?"

Although Tsukizakura wanted to answer that he was not there and slipped away, Shenxue knew that he was there, and the consequences of slipping away must be very serious, so he could only raise his hand obediently and answer "Yes" very weakly.

"Come here. ”

In all kinds of eyes, Tsukizakura was like a little rabbit walking among the wolves, stiffening her body and walking all the way to the big tiger Shenxue, and the murderous gaze next to her was ignored by him.

"How is your body today?" Miyuki's voice was soft, but to Tsukizakura's ears, it was as scary as thunder.

"It's, it's okay. ”

"Can you fight?"

Is this a mission for me?" Tsukizakura, who thought so, replied, "Of course!"

"Good. Shenxue nodded and said to the maid beside her, "Go and prepare." ”

What to prepare?

By the time Yueying reacted, he was already holding a wooden sword, facing the government who was also holding a wooden sword, looking at this posture, it was a duel - of course, because it was a wooden sword, it was just a point-and-point exchange.

"Sister Shenxue, sister...... What is this?" asked Tsukizakura tremblingly, for fear of making Deep Snow angry.

Shen Xue, who was elegantly sitting on a chair preparing to watch the battle, smiled sweetly and said, "Zheng proposed to have a fight with you, didn't I say it?"

"Why me?" Tsukizakura felt dizzy.

"Because I've heard you're strong. Masatoshi replied instead of Shenxue: "Taking advantage of the coming-of-age ceremony, I want to be willful." ”

"Uh...... That's why?"

"Deep Reason...... Would you like to hear it?"

"No! I don't want to!" Yue Ying finally understood why the political council personally came to send the invitation, in order to make sure that she was back, and then stirred up trouble.

It's just a competition, so why bother?

Green, who was outside the crowd, rubbed his naturally curly hair and smiled wryly.

Shenxue cleared her throat and raised her voice and said, "Because of Zheng's request, Zhengjiang and Yueying started a friendly exchange, and they can only use swordsmanship, not magic, so far, do you understand?"

"Understood. ”

"Got it, got it!"

"So. Deep Snow raised her hand slightly, "Let's get started." ”

The venue for their discussion is the flat land outside the ancestral hall, although it is not big, but it is enough for the competition, and the rest of the Canglong people stand around the flat ground, acting as spectators and judges for the discussion, which also brings certain restrictions to the two people who are fighting.

"I know you're very powerful, you should have a level 6 level, at your age, it's terrifying. "Zheng dances with sword flowers, it's very good-looking," and also worshiped the world-famous Yakumo Stream, swordsmanship should be quite good, in the eyes of others who know the details, I must be unreasonable and incomprehensible to challenge you. ”

Seeing that Yue Sakura didn't react, Zheng straightened his posture and continued: "But I still chose to do this, do you know why?"

"I don't know. Tsukizakura secretly glanced at the deep snow, at this distance, they must have heard what they said about the deep snow.

Zheng naturally knows this, he is not only talking to Yueying, but also to Shenxue.

"It's very simple, you are one of the obstacles I want to overcome, as long as I stick to my path, you will definitely stand in my way, I want to make sure, I can break your block!"

Because of this?

Yueying was a little confused, but Masa's serious expression told him that Masa's words were sincere and not half false.

"I don't know why I'm in your way, but if you want to fight, I'll be able to do it at any time. Tsukizakura pointed the wooden knife at Masa, and then lowered her head, "Well, please give me a lot of advice." ”
