12.15 The Crowning Ceremony

On April 1, 662 in the electronic calendar, in the hall of the Tian house, Su Ying stood in front of several elders of the Tian family according to the ceremony, and took the long sword, crown, and belt they gave him.

It's a formality, but it's important for a lot of upper-class young people.

In the Eastern Continent, for the young nobles, it doesn't matter whether the 'crown ceremony' is held by their own family or by another family, what matters is which level of family it is. The coming-of-age ceremony held at the local nobility level and the coming-of-age ceremony held at the Gongqing family are like the difference between graduation from one book and graduation from two books in the 21st century.

At a time when the imperial examination had not completely replaced the family background, in this era, the specifications of the coming-of-age ceremony were like earth diplomas, setting the grade of meritocracy.

[However, how is the rank of the minister determined? 】

It is said that 16,000 years ago, there were gods and men who came to the earth, conquered all the departments of the Eastern Continent, and after letting the departments return to their hearts, they investigated the abundance of products in various places and engraved them on the Dading. And the product engraved on the big tripod is a first-class product.

And the first-class minister is to bestow on the great families who can take out such items and products for the enjoyment of the heavens. After the gods returned to the sky with the dragon, the Dading was lost, but this ritual was also left behind. And the production of such first-class items is the duty of all ministers.

And the ministers of all parties on the mainland will hold a ceremony to worship the sky, and it is said that the more first-class tributes are taken out, the more sincerity there is.

Of course, when the Gongqing family wanted to hold a high-level ceremony, they couldn't just take out their own tribute, so there was an exchange.

Although it is only a ritual, it has the effect of facilitating the exchange between those families who can produce first-class property. The production of these tributes also reflects the strength of these tribes, and when these families were united, they gradually formed a state with the family alliance as the core.

Different families have different kinds of vocations.

For example, the ancestral vocation of the Sisi Zhao clan is the domestication of horses, eagles, pigeons and other species.

Taiyun's ancestor is to make cars, make wheels, and make axles.

The Tian family ancestor of Penghai had the vocation to prepare standard coins.

Of course, in addition to the ancestral vocation, there is now more than one vocation in the first-class Gongqing family.

Yes, for 16,000 years, with the evolution of history, the Gongqing family has merged with each other.

And those ministers whose power began to weaken, before they were demoted. You have to go through a procedure first.

When everyone meets to sacrifice to the sky, some families first take out similar sacrifices to challenge them; If the quality of the sacrifice is not comparable to that of the challenger, then it will be demoted during the ceremony.

So now, among these first-class ministers in the Eastern Continent, in addition to the ancestral vocation, there are also several vocations, and these are the vocations that used to be the vocations of other ministers.

For example, the Rong family, which moved eastward, also became a minister-level family after following the local customs and getting his vocation. The duty of the Rong family is to cast standard scales, gold, silver, copper, and iron weights. The Rongjia family had the ability to process accurately, so it was easy to seize this vocation in terms of technology.

Of course, on the Eastern Continent, rules are rules, and reality also talks about strength. For example, 700 years ago, the ancestral vocation of the Chaoming family, the technical challenge of the Rong family was no problem, but when it was Taiyun, the first-class car-making production line was given priority to the Chaoming family. A prosperous family will not be challenged.

Therefore, if you want to rely entirely on Destiny technology to gain status, it is the same as 'Japan in the 80s of the 20th century wanted to buy US imperialism'.

[The topic returns to the coming-of-age ceremony, when a first-class family holds a coming-of-age ceremony, there must also be a tribute to the sky]

For example, when the Zhao family holds a coming-of-age ceremony, then the ceremony will give a falcon and a horse, and at this time, Su Ying is stuffed with a gold coin. This is also a tribute to the heavens, the gold coin is full of color, it is a pure gold tribute provided by the Rong family, and the texture is complex and gorgeous.

And the Tian family is not just for the children of their own family, they are like a university in the 21st century, although the tutor gives priority to the students who apply for graduate school in their own school. However, students who apply for the examination from other schools will also be selected.

All the princely families in the Eastern Continent have ancestral teachings such as 'raising talents for the country'. But after a long period of peace, these ministers in Penghai have rarely been 'Lixian corporals' in the past few decades, and they have held the threshold of the door very high.

In the past few decades, it was Su Ying who made the Minister of Penghai let go of his arrogance. - If the Tian family does not preside over the coming-of-age ceremony for Su Ying, Hanshan will take active action.

The so-called ceremony of 'officially introducing young people into the upper circle'. This ceremony can also determine the "nationality" of a young man, and at this time, Lu Min was present and invited the Hanshan people to watch the ceremony, which is what it means.

On the red carpet laid with brocade, the ceremonial staff wore crowns and hairpins for Su Ying's hair bundles.

"Rite overβ€”" Tian Zhen announced the end of the ceremony with a smile.

Su Ying took the long sword and thanked Tian Zhen. After the service, they bowed to each other and then prepared to walk to the ashram behind the ceremony.

"Mr. Su Ying, please stay."

Chief Lu Min, who was dressed in a formal uniform with a crimson background, walked off the field and stopped Su Ying, who was about to leave.

Lu Min said with a smile: "The world is gathered, and the country is in urgent need of talents to serve, what does Mr. think?" ”

Su Ying turned around and looked at the chief, and said quite seriously: "At such a moment, eating the country's fortune and sharing worries for the country can be called a national soldier." Enjoy the pleasure but do not do it, what does the king think should be? Speaking of this, Su Ying glanced around.

Lu Min still kept smiling: "Where do you want to go?" ”

Su Ying shook his head silently: "Your Majesty, I am just a mechanic. And I only want to be a mechanic, so I won't make Penghai embarrassed by the division of things. ”

At this time, there was some embarrassment in the venue.

And the Su family who came from Hanshan on the side pursed their lips and smiled.

Analogy: When an employee chooses a company, it is unreasonable to ask for high wages and high treatment from the company before making a career. But if a company wants to poach an employee who shows extremely high ability, it just wants to poach people with high salaries, and does not give equity and executive positions, which is also delusional.

Su Ying's meaning: As the Great Wall to serve Penghai, who was occupied by the minister, he will not get enough benefits for his own efforts, and as a mechanic, he will not lose money when he talks business with Penghai.

Lu Min wanted Su Ying to work, but Su Ying just wanted to keep the channel to talk about business.

Facing the speechless Lu Min, Su Ying turned around and came to Tian Zhen's side again, bowed and said, "Uncle Tian, I quit." In a few days, I will make a special trip to thank you. ”

Such a polite act warmed up the somewhat awkward atmosphere a little. But this also made the elders of the Tian family who presided over the meeting very helpless.

Five years ago, the entire Tian family and Tian Zhen had a good attitude towards Su Eagle, but now Su Eagles only used politeness to face Tian Zhen alone.

In other words, after the current etiquette, the communication channel between the Tian family and Su Ying is still only Tian Zhen.

The elders are very helpless, but the younger generations of the Tian family have completely different ideas.

When Su Ying was about to 'leave in a hurry', he stopped Su Ying with a broken drink: "Hybrid child, dare to pout in the hall!" ”

It was Tian Hai who said this, he was three years older than Su Eagle, and now that others had no time to stop him, he drew his sword and stood in front of Su Eagle.

Su Ying looked at the long sword pointing at the tip of his nose, as well as Tian Hai, three points of anger, three points of excitement, three points of madness, and one

Divide the cunning young face. A hint of helplessness flashed in his eyes. sighed in his heart: "This is Penghai's madness." ”

Zhao Bei, who was in charge of monitoring the threats around her in the crowd, also looked at this scene in a daze. A look of wonder flashed in her eyes, and then a sinister smile flashed on her lips. sarcastically said in his heart: "You dare to stop the Great Wall? Young people in Penghai? Scold. ”

For the Zhao people on the front line of hegemony, what is the Great Wall? The pillar of the country. Even if the ruler faces the general, he must step down from the high seat and pay respect.

But what do these crazy brains of Penghai think? - Brain pumping, think that a single anger can stop the chariot mantis arm?

Zhao Bei saw Tian Hai with an unruly face, and unconsciously launched a mapping spell, after determining that the magnetic field balance around Tian Hai was very poor, and it was absolutely impossible to be a high-ranking profession, the girl gloated without any worries: "Now, only Peng Hai can produce such a brainless and courageous person!" ”

But Tian Hai was proud of his righteousness, and the other young people behind him also looked at him with admiration at this time.

The reason why the young children of Penghai Gongqing are so demented is because of two aspects.

On the one hand, decades of peace have made the young people of the Tian family regard the coming-of-age ceremony held here as the exclusive use of these high-class scholars. They are dissatisfied with the fact that outsiders have the same qualifications as them.

On the other hand, it is also peace, so that these young people of the Tian family do not know the horror of war at all. I have a vague impression of the high-ranking profession of the Great Wall.

For example, young people who have been at peace for a long time in the 21st century have also been subtly replaced by the information of games, film and television dramas, when they see giant zombies that can ram the main battle tank, with small round shields, wielding cold weapons, and wearing vibranium armor to resist heavy machine guns, tsk, subconsciously weaken the power of modern weapons. Therefore, many people subconsciously ignore the elements, and have some illusions that "as long as our generation calls out and the public responds, we can fight against the state violence machine".

Therefore, these young people saw that Su Ying was indifferent to the ceremony and did not cater to it, and they were all slandering Su Ying for all kinds of wrongs.

And Tian Hai stood up 'bravely' in this kind of public sentiment.

For example, eight years ago, Su Ying was driven out of Yuying Academy, and now he also represents the attitude of the young people of the Penghai Minister's class. - It seems that eight years ago, Su Ying was able to be forced to flee, and now he can.

However, the reality that follows did not develop according to the script of eight years ago.

As he raised his long sword to the tip of Su Ying's nose in front of everyone, before he could raise his voice, in the eyes of everyone, the light of the golden lamp above the hall shook like sparkling water. - The Su Eagle field disturbed the light of the whole audience.

In an instant, Su Ying moved from the spot. The movements are so fast that people can only see the dancing robes, like a dragon and a phoenix dancing, staggering past Tian Hai.

Within a fraction of a second, Su Ying's seven spells were activated at the same time.

And Tian Hai was even more under the optical spell, and his vision was white.

Under acoustic spells, the ears 'buzz'......

Dozens of spots on the skin were burned by the microwaves, and the stinging pain was distracted, and the air flow brushing the skin could not be detected.

Tian Hai, who had no actual combat experience, subconsciously stabbed forward with a sword in the failure of perception,

He stabbed himself in the air as a matter of course. And the hand was electrocuted, and when he failed to react at all, the long sword in his hand was taken away. And was slapped on the back and staggered a step or two forward.

And a second later, the robe was still fluttering lightly in mid-air, and Su Ying jumped over the unstable Tian Hai with a sword at this time.

After another tenths of a second, Tian Hai completely fell to the ground with a 'bang' sound, and Su Ying's fingers flicked the blade of the sword, and there was also a long 'ding' sound.

Su Ying glanced at the crowd at the viewing platform, especially the young people in Penghai.

Immediately, with a slick of two fingers, the long sword snapped in response. With a wave of his hand, the tip of the broken sword was thrown towards Tian Hai, who had not yet turned around and fell to the ground.

There was a 'buzz' sound of metal piercing the wood, and the blade slammed into the floor.

Su Ying's lips opened and closed slightly, and his leisurely voice echoed throughout the hall: "The child who doesn't grow up holds a sword and harms others and himself. With that, as soon as he let go of his fingers, the remaining broken sword fell to the ground, and with a 'clang', he walked straight towards the exit of the hall with a happy step.

Tian Hai, who had just turned around, heard Su Ying's words, and got up angrily, and at the same time pulled out the short blade on his waist. Prepare to stab at the Su Eagle, which is facing away from you.

Seeing this, Zhao Bei on the side immediately pulled out the firearm from her thigh, but then she found that her actions were unnecessary.

When Tian Hai got up, he only heard the sound of a large piece of cloth tearing, he suddenly lost his balance, fell again, and the short blade in his hand also poked into the ground, and the tip of the knife broke and jumped out of the spark.

Everyone looked at it, and the tip of the sword that had been broken was nailed to the ground with Tian Hai's pants, although the tip of the sword was very short, no one noticed, but when Tian Hai suddenly burst up, the clothes on his body were suddenly torn by himself A huge opening.

Tian Hai's dress was torn to reveal his underwear, and the guards held down this gnashing frenzy in the chaos. grabbed his head, grabbed his arms, and dragged him down towards the punishment hall full of swords and halberds. In the process of being dragged away, Tian Hai was still dumbfounded and scolded Su Ying who walked away at the words of 'treacherous demon', barking and kicking the carpet out of wrinkles one by one with the soles of his feet.

The old man of the Tian family, who presided over the ceremony, trembled and hurriedly stood up, and exclaimed bitterly: "Hysteria, hysteria." ”

The old man's beard trembled at the corners of his mouth, his hands trembled, but his steps were not slow, he stepped forward, opened the gold-armored guards who were in charge of the ritual with his cane, and waved his hand to let the subordinates around him drag away Tian Hai, who had "lost his mind".

Tian Zhen, who had just recovered from the shock, saw this and felt that this was not in accordance with the rules and wanted to stop it, but was dragged by the people behind him.

And at this time.

Su Ying, who originally walked to the main gate and turned his back to everyone, stopped, raised one hand at the door in front of everyone, tore off the robe and dress on his body, revealing a tight battle uniform, and then slowly turned to face everyone in the hall. The robes fluttered down like light feathers, falling to the ground like torn skin.

Su Ying's painting style has changed from a young man to a military state. On the side, Lu Min's face twitched - Rong pretended to enter the hall, such as the killing edge against the tablet of the temple, this move would be regarded as a great disrespect.

However, Tian Hai was forbidden to hold the soldiers, and then the old man of the Tian family exonerated his big crime with an ambiguous attitude, which made it difficult for Lu Min, who was supposed to preside over the ceremony, to explain the etiquette to Su Ying.

Su Ying stood at the door of the hall, scanned everyone with a gaze like a secluded well, and left without saying a word.

The door slammed shut, leaving silence in the hall.

After walking out of the hall, in the staircase corridor of the building, where no one could see, the corners of Su Ying's tense and indifferent face showed a slight curvature on his mouth.

For Tian Hai, Su Ying is very 'grateful', it is him, it is him, who has helped him and the Tian family to clear up the relationship twice in a row.
