Chapter 12: Rites of Passage

Lin Clan Martial Arts Training Ground. For the adult baptism on the seventh day of the lunar month and the subsequent family competition, the Lin clan has carried out a large-scale transformation of it, and today's martial arts training ground looks like a large arena.

In the center of the martial arts training ground, there are three rings rising from the ground, lined up side by side. On the very central ring, there are also various offerings.

On the ring, the blue flag printed with the word "Wu" fluttered and grinned. After the ring, a high platform was erected. On the high platform, there are several or three big names in Qingshan County, namely Lin Zhen, the head of the Lin family, Li Shan, the head of the Li family, and Hao Jie, the current Shou of Qingshan County.

Lin Zhen sat in the center, laughing with the other two from time to time, showing everyone's demeanor.

Under the high platform, there are still several rows of seats, most of which are made by the patriarchs of other families in Qingshan County. However, among the group, there was one person who stood out unusually well. Compared to the other family patriarchs who were laughing at each other, this person seemed much colder, and even the few small family patriarchs next to him deliberately lowered their voices when they spoke. If you look closely, this person is the great elder of the royal family, Wang Bin.

For the other Qingshan County patriarchs, it was an incomparable honor to be able to sit here. Being able to sit here means that even among the three major families of Qingshan like the Lin clan, they have a place.

However, for Wang Bin, this is simply a great shame.

Although everyone else here is the patriarch of the major families, in front of the royal family, these families are not even fart. But in normal times, when these patriarchs saw Wang Bin, they all nodded their heads. And today, he Wang Bin, a martial artist of the sixth order of martial arts, can also rank in the top five in Qingshan County, and he has to sit side by side with these small family patriarchs.

Moreover, Wang Bin came today to represent not only him, but the entire royal family. It stands to reason that you should sit on a high platform and sit on an equal footing with the three people on the high platform.

However, these things could not be said explicitly, and Wang Bin could only swallow his anger. lest other families misunderstand and think that the royal family looks down on them, thus offending these families.

Although these small families are not strong, they are better than many. If they are all offended, it will be enough for the royal family to drink a pot. What's more, at this moment, there is still the tiger of the Lin clan by the side of the royal family.

If Wang Bin really did that, he would be happiest than Lin Zhen and those people of the Lin clan.

If the Lin clan did this, wouldn't it be that the royal family had degenerated to the point that they could only be like those small families?

As soon as he thought of this, Wang Bin's face turned blue, this is really a dumb person eating Coptis chinensis, and he can't tell if he suffers.

Secretly clenched his fists, Wang Bin glanced coldly at Lin Zhen, who was laughing with the head of the Li family and the Qingshan County Shou on the high platform, and secretly swore: "Lin Zhen, today's humiliation, I, Wang Bin, remember, one day I, Wang Bin, will let you return it with interest." ”

With the sound of a gong, the originally boiling martial arts training ground fell silent in an instant, and even the children were held in their arms by their parents, looking up at the high platform together.

On the high platform, seeing that the time had come, Lin Zhen, the patriarch of the Lin clan, slowly got up and glanced around.

After a while, the huge martial arts training ground, with thousands of people, fell silent.

Lin Zhen just spoke: "Today is the big day of my Lin clan, and just today, there will be eleven disciples of my Lin clan who will grow up and strengthen my Lin clan." The Lin clan needs fresh blood and young disciples, because you are the future of my Lin clan. ”

As Lin Zhen's last sentence roared, the entire martial arts training ground began to boil again. All the young disciples of the Lin clan stood up, pointed to the sky with one finger, and shouted out the clan motto of the Lin clan.

"The children of the Lin clan, martial arts are the heavens, and they are willing to donate blood for the Lin clan. Born as a hero, died as a ghost, Lingyun is up, I should be the emperor. ”

"What a domineering family motto. Lin Xiao was secretly shocked in his heart. From the clan training of the Lin clan, Lin Xiao could feel the kind of immortal will that belonged to a powerful martial artist. That kind of ambition to dominate the world and dare to compete with the sky, even in an imperial gate like the Heavenly Star Emperor's Gate, Lin Xiao has never felt it.

"I should be the emperor", one sentence says what many ancient masters think in their hearts, but no one dares to say it. There are few people in the world who can really dare to announce this sentence to the world.

This Lin clan dared to integrate it into the clan motto, and it has been passed down through the ages. Its domineering spirit is really ancient and modern.

"Unexpectedly, the little Taiqing County turned out to be a hidden dragon and a crouching tiger. The ancestors of the Lin clan are by no means idle. Lin Xiao looked serious and thought secretly in his heart.

Although it was not the first time for those families under the high platform to participate in such a grand event as the Lin clan, nor was it the first time they had seen such a scene, they were still shocked by the momentum of the Lin clan.

This is the unique momentum of the Lin people, and it is the condensation of the entire spirit of the Lin people. This kind of momentum, even if it is a royal family that is also a cultivation family, is far from it, and it is beyond the reach of the dust.

Only an ancient family that has been inherited for thousands of years will have this kind of momentum. This momentum is also a character, and this character depends on the founder of this family. Although he is long dead, his character is infused into the entire family.

The birth of the royal family, but more than two hundred years, compared with the Lin family, is simply a small thing. In Qingshan County, no one knows when the Lin clan came to Qingshan County, and it seems that it is longer than the Taiqing National Kingdom.

In the memories of the older generation, this root cannot be traced. The Lin clan, standing here, is afraid that it has been thousands of years. Although it has experienced the change of dynasties and has been fluctuating several times, it can still stand on Qingshan County, which has to be said to be a miracle.

Most of the young disciples of the royal clan were shocked back a few steps by this scene for the first time.

"Hmph. ”

A cold snort came out, and the Great Elder of the Royal Clan glanced coldly at the disciple behind him. Those royal disciples were like being in the ice cellar, and they suddenly sobered up a lot and returned to normal.

The patriarch of the Lin clan was very satisfied with the performance of the clansmen, waved his hand and motioned for everyone to sit down, and began a new round of speeches. It was nothing more than some clichΓ© words of encouragement, but all the Lin Clan disciples were all sitting upright, engrossed, and none of them showed the slightest impatience.

Suddenly, Lin Zhen paused and looked around at everyone, everyone knew that they were going to enter the theme.

Sure enough, then, Lin Zhen broke off his roar.

"Next, I announce that the coming-of-age baptism ceremony of the Lin clan has officially begun. ”

As Lin Zhen finished speaking, the audience stood up, and all eyes were focused on the central ring.

At this time, Lin Kui, the great elder of the Lin clan, walked out of the crowd and reverently walked into the ring.

With only twelve steps, if it were normal, Lin Kui could step into the ring in one step, but today he walked twelve steps.

Twelve steps represent twelve years, and it means that you will grow up after these twelve years.

Although the twelve steps are few, they symbolize great significance.

Standing on top of the central ring, Lin Kui Lang Lang announced: "Today, the disciples of the Lin clan who accepted the coming-of-age ceremony of the Lin clan are, Lin Yun, Lin Xiao, Lin ......" Lin Kui said the names of the eleven Lin clan teenagers, and Lin Xiao was impressively listed.

Then Lin Kui said: "Today, the eleven of you will accept the baptism of the family and become a qualified family warrior. Now, I would like to invite these eleven disciples to come up to the stage. ”

Subsequently, Lin Xiao and the other eleven Lin disciples walked through the twelve steps in the eyes of everyone, came to the central ring, and knelt down in front of Lin Kui.
