Chapter 135: Coming-of-Age Ceremony (II)
Lin Yulin listened to the instructions of the patriarch, and bowed three times and nine times to the portrait of the patriarch.
Then he pricked his finger with a needle and squeezed a drop of blood onto the lens in the center of the patriarch's altar.
The drop of blood was quickly absorbed, and the crystal emitted a burst of white light, and Lin Yulin felt that she had a connection with the entire Yawu Mountain Secret Realm, which meant that she had been granted permission to enter and exit freely.
At this time, as an elder, Song Ze kowtowed to the patriarch, and determined the clan name for her according to the five elements "Song Yi", and at the same time squeezed out a drop of blood to the crystal.
This step represents Lin Yulin's acceptance by his relatives and acceptance by the hermits.
This can be regarded as completing a whole set of etiquette, and Lin Yulin's official name in the Yin clan is registered as Song Yi.
The names of several generations of the Song family are all alternated by the five elements, which is simple and clear at a glance.
It was Lin Yulin's turn, and it happened to be the same as Song Yu and them, from the fire.
Lu Jiyao's side also followed the same procedure, except that it was his grandfather Cen Luo who did the step of accepting him, and he omitted the step of choosing another family name.
After their respective coming-of-age ceremonies, they stood on the altar together.
This is to prepare a sacrifice to the ancestor and make a marriage contract.
This kind of marriage contract made in the altar is bound by a mysterious and mysterious power, showing a special effect.
The simple explanation is that after getting engaged, any person of the opposite sex who sees Lin Yulin or Lu Jiyao will immediately know that this person has a master.
This magical effect is effective within three years, and beyond three years, it will not only fail, but also have the opposite effect, so that people will know that this person is single at first sight.
Unless the wedding is held before the expiration date to enhance this effect.
This engagement is equivalent to a contract, which can prompt the engaged parties to cherish every day together, and if they really can't get married, they will not delay their new feelings.
Song Ze took into account that the two children were emotionally ignorant, and they would have to go back to the secular world in a short time.
The lights are bright over there, and he wants to minimize the possibility of misunderstandings between them, and he also pushes them in their relationship, which can be described as well-intentioned.
The two stood side by side, listening to the patriarch chanting a large passage of ancient scriptures that he didn't understand, and Lu Jiyao suddenly felt a familiar meat hand burrow into his palm.
He subconsciously held it, and his heart was happy.
This was the first time Lin Yulin took the initiative to hold his hand, but he found that his little hands were cold and his palms were sweaty.
He turned his head to look at Lin Yulin, only to see a very small drop of water oozing from her forehead, and her face was a little pale.
As if sensing his scrutiny, she barely smiled, and just wanted to respond that she was fine, but her throat was sweet, and she spat out a mouthful of blood, and then her feet went soft and fell to the ground.
At this time, the patriarch was thinking of Lin Yulin's name, "There is a good girl in the Song family today, and her name is ......."
The engagement was interrupted, and the crowd let out a burst of exclamations, Song Ke was still sentimental, but at this time he found that Lin Yulin had fallen in Lu Jiyao's arms, and there were blood stains on the corners of his mouth, so he stepped forward to see it regardless of the rules of the engagement.
He raised his hand and touched Lin Yulin's forehead, then put down his wrist, and didn't notice anything wrong for a while, "What's the matter?" ”
"I don't know, her face seemed to be very bad just now, her palms were sweaty, and then she vomited blood before she could speak, and almost fell to the ground." Lu Jiyao was also very anxious.
"I'm fine, it's just a headache...... Lin Yulin said, trying to open his heavy eyelids.
"Stop talking, I'm here, it's okay." Lu Jiyao had some regrets about not being able to complete the ceremony, but he was more worried and anxious.
Song Ke didn't dare to delay time, rolled up Lin Yulin with energy vines, and walked quickly to the outside of the altar, leaving only one sentence, "Go to my dad and them first." ”
The onlookers looked at each other at this time, and they were also confused about the situation at this time.
This was the first time that everyone had seen the engagement interrupted, and no one said anything out of place such as handsome men and beautiful women, and the scene became very quiet for a while.
Lu Jiyao followed closely behind Song Ke, pursed his lips, and the momentum on his body unconsciously emanated, giving people the illusion of facing the ancient fierce beast.
Lin Yulin's unexplained vomiting of blood made him extremely nervous.
Although the engagement was interrupted, it was originally a temporary add-on, and it didn't matter.
The main coming-of-age ceremony had been completed, so Song Ze asked Song Wei to come out to preside over the banquet, and the Yin people didn't chase after him to ask why the engagement was interrupted, and they went to the table cooperatively.
Song Ke took Lin Yulin to the outside of the altar, and the patriarch had already come down at this time, discussing something with Song Ze.
"Dad, patriarch, come and see what's wrong with Yulin? How did you suddenly vomit blood? Song Ke asked anxiously.
The patriarch is not too calm, in the notes of the patriarch for so many generations, this situation has never occurred, and he vaguely feels as if something is out of control.
Song Ze also checked Lin Yulin's abilities and found nothing abnormal, but Lin Yulin's mouthful of blood was not fake, it really scared everyone.
"I'm fine." Lin Yulin seemed to be really much better, and the paleness on his face was replaced by a flush, "I think I can go back and continue the engagement." ”
"Don't talk, get some rest. Forget about the engagement, I don't want you to have any more accidents. Song Ke vetoed her idea.
"Yes, it doesn't matter if you have this ritual or not, you are the most important." Lu Jiyao secretly decided in his heart that even if there was no such ceremony, he could still achieve the special effects given by the ceremony, as long as he prepared some couple certificates, it should not be difficult.
Lin Yulin shook his head and expressed his guess: "Actually, it shouldn't be the reason for the engagement, after I dropped the blood into the crystal just now, I started to have a headache."
A voice seemed to be saying something in my head, but I couldn't understand it.
Then the voice was gone, but I felt as if something was touching inside me.
It was as if there was a seed that burst out of the ground in my heart, and then there was a burst of angina that was stronger than a burst. ”
She subconsciously put her hand in Lu Jiyao's hand at that time, but she didn't expect the angina to ease all of a sudden.
"I tried to wrap that thing around with my ability and pull it out, but it just exploded.
Then I felt a tearing pain in my chest, and then a rush of heat rushed up, and I vomited blood. ”
The patriarch and Song Ze glanced at each other, and from each other's eyes, they could know that neither of them had a clue.
"Are you really okay? Does it still hurt? Lu Jiyao asked uncertainly, the weak appearance just now didn't look like he was fine.
"All I have in my head right now is a voice buzzing like it's talking, and I don't understand what that voice means." Lin Yulin covered his head, a little irritable.
