Chapter 2: The Ritual of Awakening

In the early hours of the morning, the first rays of light struggled out of the depths of darkness. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

With a touch of cowardice and bravery, he broke into the dark world, and the heavens and the earth lit up for a moment. But after a while, this first ray of light was dissolved by endless darkness, and the heavens and the earth were still shrouded in darkness.

After a while, another ray of light appeared, and it seemed to be more courageous and more indomitable than the first. It rushed into the darkness, blooming with its own light and heat, but the darkness was too powerful, and that ray of light was still dissolved in the endless darkness.

This time, just as that ray of light was about to disappear, from the depths of darkness, another ray of light appeared, more courageous and stronger. Then, in the depths of darkness, wisps of light burst out in unison as if organized.

The darkness seems to sense that something is wrong, and wants to do everything in its power to suppress the light that came from nowhere. But no matter how much they are destroyed, the light is persistent and powerful. Slowly, slowly, when the power of light grew vigorously, the darkness could no longer be stopped, and the whole world suddenly brightened. A red sun rises from the depths of darkness, and from then on, the world enters the day.

Every morning, Ling Xiao would sit on the roof of the house and quietly watch the struggle between day and night.

For some reason, every time he saw this repetitive scene, he felt something, but he didn't seem to understand anything. It's just that at this time, even if no one calls him to get up, he can't sleep, so in order to avoid boredom, he will get up to look at the scenery and exercise by the way.

The sound of stamping sounded from behind him, and Ling Xiao didn't have to look back to know that it was his father who came.

"Dad, why are you in the mood to watch the sunrise with me today?"

The footsteps behind him stopped, and the man sat next to Ling Xiao with a slight jump, he didn't speak, just quietly looked at the rising sun, where it was full of hope and light.

"Daddy's wind magic is really getting more and more proficient, is he about to break through the sixth-order great magician?" Ling Xiao looked at his father, Ling Yun Mo, with a look of envy on the side.

Seeing that his son could see his rank at a glance, Ling Yun was stunned for a moment, then smiled lightly, and said, "I didn't expect you to be so eye-catching at such a young age, you really deserve to be my Ling Yun's son." ”

Listening to Ling Yun's words, Ling Xiao couldn't help but pout, muttering in his heart: You shout about your level every day, it's hard for me to even think about it. But he didn't dare to say this, otherwise he might have to eat a fried meat with bamboo shoots again.

"Daddy, it's time to go to the awakening ceremony today, right?" Ling Xiao suddenly asked his father, "Is there anything I need to pay attention to?"

When Ling Yun heard this, his originally playful expression also became serious: "Xiao'er, you must also know that in our Magic Continent, magic is the foundation of our survival. There are seven basic elements in the world, which are light, darkness, space, fire, water, earth, and wind. Since we were born, we have been exposed to various elements in the air every day, and some of us will resonate with a certain element in the air, and the degree of this resonance will be presented when we awaken. Those with a high degree of resonance when awakening can further cultivate and become a respected magician on the mainland. The so-called magic is to create a contractual relationship with the elements that resonate in the air by chanting spells, and is used to direct the elements to obey the content of their spells and complete the corresponding agreements. The stronger the magician, the more elements he can command, and the more powerful he becomes. I heard that kind of legendary magician, a spell, can drop hundreds of meteorites from the sky, and in a fit of anger, you can turn a city into a sea of fire, just as the so-called heaven and earth are omnipotent. ”

Ling Xiao listened to his father's story, and couldn't help but get excited for a while. "Xiao'er, my father is approaching thirty this year, and this is the only way to do it in this life. But you are different, you are still young, the father hopes that you can become a great magician, and you can benefit the country and the people in the future, this is what the father expects of you, can you do it? ”

"Daddy, I can! I will definitely be an amazing magician and benefit the country and the people in the future. Daddy, I'm going to do it! ”

The morning sun was extraordinarily bright, it heralded hope, foreshadowed vitality, and little by little it reflected on Ling Xiao's resolute and slightly immature face.

Ling Yun looked at his son's pride and ambition, and couldn't help but smile with satisfaction, and said, "Silly boy, don't forget what you said today. Let's go, your mother specially made you and Wan'er's favorite sweet and sour pork ribs for you to participate in the awakening, if you don't go, I'm afraid your sister will eat it up. ”

Hearing this, Ling Xiao, who was originally immersed in the sunshine and was ambitious, suddenly stumbled and almost fell off the house, muttering something in his mouth and shouting regardless of the image, "Sister Wan'er! You leave me some!! He shouted as he ran swiftly toward the hall. Only Ling Yun, who was still slightly stunned in place, was left.

This stinky boy, just now he scolded me for killing my father, and blamed me for why I didn't tell him earlier.

After eating breakfast, Ling Xiao followed his father with a depressed face, and of course, there was Mu Wan with a happy face next to him. Ink. It's just that this excited look, in Ling Xiao's opinion, is more of a smug look.

At the dining table just now, when Ling Xiao rushed all the way back, he found that there were only a few pieces left of the original large plate of ribs, and he almost pinched Mu Wan'er at that time. But fortunately, it was stopped in time by the mother next to him, otherwise I guess I wouldn't be able to eat breakfast today.

Although Ling Xiao was angry because of his sister's gluttony, he was not really angry. But depression is indispensable, and I eat something indiscriminately and stop eating as if I was angry.

"Daddy, what are we going to do at my grandfather's house?" Mu Wan'er, who was well-fed, asked while holding her father's hand.

At this time, she didn't dare to hold her brother Ling Xiao's hand like before, in case Ling Xiao threw her out in anger, then she would have a hard time.

"Hmph, when I become a magician in the future, I will tie up my brother and make him eat fried meat with bamboo shoots." Mu Wan'er thought as she secretly glanced at Ling Xiao a few times.

Ling Xiao seemed to be aware of this, and snorted softly, indicating that the morning's business was not over.

"The messenger who held the ceremony for you was in your grandfather's house, and his grandfather was the head of the village, and these things were originally your grandfather's business. When you get to your grandfather's house, you won't be as naughty as you used to be. Seeing that Ling Xiao and Mu Wan'er were angry, Ling Yun also had to remind him.

"Knowing Daddy, we will be very well-behaved, isn't it, Brother Xiao~" This time, Mu Wan'er replied to Ling Yun one step ahead of Ling Xiao. Moreover, she looked at her brother Xiao with smiling eyes, as if to prove that there was no contradiction between the two of them.

Ling Xiao also seemed to know that he couldn't compete with his sister, so he snorted softly, as if he was still worried about the morning, and as if he was robbing his sister of his answer.

Grandpa's house is the most luxurious house in the village, beautiful glazed tiles, plain walls, chic balconies, finely cut welcome pines・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・ looking at the colorful flowers blooming all over the courtyard, Mu Wan'er can be regarded as understanding why the envoy chose to hold the ceremony here, if it were herself, I am afraid she would also choose here.

When Ling Yun took Wan'er and Xiao'er to push open the door of the room, the people inside looked at them in unison. There were not many people in the room, only two old people and three or four children.

In the room, one of the old men was full of spring light, and when he saw Ling Yun coming in, he stood up with a smile and greeted him. "Come, Lingyun, let me introduce you, this one next to me is the white-clothed messenger who came to awaken the children, the ninth-order fire great magician Sidi Lie. Grand Magician Sidi, this is my son-in-law, Lingyun Mo, and my granddaughter. When the old man saw Ling Yun coming in, he said to Ling Yun with a smile, of course, the last sentence was about another old man beside him.

The old man bowed slightly at the village chief's introduction, saying that he already knew about it and then ignored it.

Seeing that everyone was here, Sidi stood up and said to Ling Xiao, Mu Wan'er, and the five or six school-age children: "I am the messenger who has come to perform the awakening ceremony for you, you can just call me Grandpa Lie." There is nothing terrible about the ceremony, but it should be experienced with the heart. Now stand in a row, listen to my commands, and move forward one by one. ”
