Chapter 13: Adults
On the central ring, Lin Kui swept over the eleven Lin teenagers who knelt in front of him one by one, and today he was going to hold a family baptism for these eleven people.
His gaze was solemn, and he lingered for a moment on a person every time he swept over him. muttered and prayed for their blessings.
However, when his eyes stayed on Lin Xiao, his eyes suddenly widened by half a minute, and his brows gradually locked deeply, as if he had encountered an extremely tricky matter.
"It's kind of interesting. ”
After a long time, Lin Kui's deep-locked eyebrows gradually relaxed, and at the same time, the corners of his mouth showed a smile that seemed to be nothing, which was very weird.
The central ring, which is tens of meters away from the high platform. Lin Kui's expression only flashed, and even those Lin clansmen in front of him didn't notice it. But the three people on the high platform are all masters of profound cultivation. With their eyesight, they can naturally see clearly everything that is happening on stage.
At this moment, the hearts of the three of them were full of doubts at the same time.
The Great Elder of the Lin Clan, although on the bright side, his status is not as good as that of the Lin Clan Patriarch Lin Zhen. However, as high-level figures in Qingshan County, Li Shan and Hao Jie knew that the identity of this Great Elder of the Lin Clan was very unusual. Even in normal times, when Lin Zhen saw him, he had to pay homage to his nephew. Its status in the Lin clan is vaguely above the patriarch of the Lin clan.
Why? They don't know. As soon as everything involves the Great Elder of the Lin Clan, the clues will be cut off immediately. In the past few days, although Li Shan and Hao Jie have tried hard to get more information about Lin Kui, they can only return in vain. All the men who went to spy disappeared inexplicably.
The Great Elder of the Lin Clan, for them, has always been a mystery.
For people who can make such a big man shocked on such an occasion, they can't help but have an extra heart, could it be that this inconspicuous disciple of the Lin clan is a genius again?
In the past two years, the Lin family can be described as a generation of geniuses, from Lin Ce the year before to Lin Qi last year. In the past two years, every year at the coming-of-age ceremony of the Lin clan, a genius-like figure will emerge. If such a situation occurs again this year, the development prospects of the Lin people will be unpredictable. When these people are all grown up, let's ask, who else in Qingshan County can suppress the Lin clan?
However, at this moment, Lin Zhen's heart was even more shocked than the other two, and no one knew this Lin Clan Great Elder better than him. Whether it was Lin Ce, who rose to prominence the year before last, or Lin Qi, who was a blockbuster last year, this great elder didn't pay attention to it.
His vision is so high, looking at the entire Qingshan County, no one can enter his eyes.
And Lin Zhen knew that Lin Kui did have this capital. Lin Kui's strength is far from what others can imagine.
It can even be so much, if Lin Kui is willing to make a move, Qingshan County will already be dominated by the Lin clan. However, Lin Kui has always been reluctant to do this, no matter how many reasons Lin Zhen puts up, he has never been able to convince Lin Kui to make a move.
"Unless the family is on the verge of extinction, I will never make a move. My responsibility is different from yours, I don't want the family to prosper, I only want the family to be immortal. ”
This is a sentence that Lin Kui left to Lin Zhen, this sentence completely broke Lin Zhen's ambition to rely on Lin Kui to dominate Qingshan County.
Lin Zhen still can't understand this, he doesn't know what is more important than the prosperity of the family.
However, he didn't dare to refute, as the patriarch, he knew far more things than ordinary clansmen. He knew that every generation of the Great Elder of the Lin Clan was a person who had cultivated to the heavens.
In this area, over the past thousand years, how many dynasties have changed, and how many families have risen and fallen, but the Lin clan has been able to stand for thousands of years, relying on the great elders of each generation of the Lin clan.
At every moment of crisis, they will intervene to save the family from danger.
At that time, the emperor of Taiqing State swallowed mountains and rivers and wanted to eradicate all the forces that hindered the imperial power in Taiqing. In Qingshan County, ** met the great elder of the Lin clan back then, but he could only return with a feather, sighing and sighing, so he died depressed. Emperor of Taiqing State**, that is a strong man at the level of the Martial King, has encountered the great elder of the Lin clan, and he is helpless. It is conceivable that the strength of the great elders of the Lin clan back then.
It can be said that the Great Elder of the Lin Clan is the real decision-making fever of the Lin Clan, and at the same time the Patron Saint of the Lin Clan. As they say, they will guard the Lin clan and will not die for generations.
Looking at the young man who made Lin Kui's expression pale, Lin Zhen's face was puzzled, not only did it not weaken, but strengthened it a little.
"Lin Xiao, this is not Lin Fan's son who can't cultivate, what's so special about him. ”
Lin Zhen didn't understand how such waste could arouse Lin Kui's interest.
"Is there anything else that comes to this waste body?"
Lin Zhen speculated wildly, but in the end, he couldn't come to a conclusion.
"It's not simple, who said that the strongest in the Lin clan is only a martial artist, and the strength of this mysterious great elder is by no means more than a martial artist, it is comparable to the Martial Emperor. ”
Previously, Lin Xiao felt a powerful divine thought sweeping over him, making him feel like he was standing naked in front of people. You must know that although martial artists do not cultivate divine thoughts, as their strength increases, their divine thoughts will also become stronger.
The power of the divine thoughts that Lin Xiao felt before was much stronger than the Martial King Long Fang and Zhao Teng he had met before. It can be seen from this time that this person's strength is only above that of the Martial King, and it is very likely that he is a strong person at the level of the Martial Emperor.
This shocked him very much in his heart, how could a strong person of this level stay here? And with such a strong person, how could the Lin clan be like this now?
The more he learned about the Lin clan, the more Lin Xiao felt the extraordinaryness of the Lin clan.
After sweeping through the eleven teenagers in the central ring, Lin Kui picked up a pair of scissors, came to these teenagers, cut a strand of tail hair from their hair, and put it on the plate that was prepared.
This is called "tail removal", and it is an extremely important step in the coming-of-age ceremony of the Lin people.
Then, Lin Kui handed the ten Lin Clan disciple tokens that had been prepared in advance to eleven of them.
After all this was done, Lin Kui returned to his original position and said loudly: "From today onwards, you will be adults. In the past, you spent twelve years under the protection of the Lin clan. I hope that in the future, the Lin Clan will become more brilliant because of your presence. ”
With the end of this sentence, this coming-of-age ceremony officially ends.
From this moment on, eleven teenagers began to enter adulthood. From then on, they could no longer live without complaint as before, and from this moment on, they were the warriors of the Lin clan. With the Lin clan, life and death are shared.
Eleven teenagers, their faces were full of excitement at the moment. They came to their families as fast as they could, took out the tokens in their hands, and showed them off in front of them.
"Okay, my family Xiao'er has finally grown up and is a man. ”
Li Yuying took the token handed over by Lin Xiao, her face was full of joy, and she said with a smile.
The whole family is now indulging in this fleeting happiness, forgetting everything.
At this time, a burst of speech came from the high platform and reached the ears of everyone present, which also interrupted the temporary happiness of Lin Xiao's family.
After hearing the meaning of the words clearly, Lin Fan and Li Yuying's faces changed greatly, and their faces that were originally full of joy were only worried at the moment.
On the high platform, Lin Zhen, the patriarch of the Lin clan, shouted loudly: "Only after the baptism of battle can the disciples of the Lin clan transform into real warriors and become qualified Lin people. Eleven of you, starting today, will face countless battles. And today, the Lin Clan has prepared a battle for you to help you complete your final transformation. Now I announce that the challenge begins. All the sons and daughters of the Lin clan can challenge the adult disciples of the Lin clan today. According to the strength of both sides, the clan will select one of the challengers to challenge. In the first battle, the challenged, Lin Yun, a disciple of the Lin clan, was a fourth-order martial artist. Sons and daughters of the Lin clan, who wants to fight him?"
