Chapter 1 The Rite of Passage Growing up

Eighteen years later.

Looking down on the world, between the mountains that seem to be tall and calm, there are many people's bittersweet and bitter joys, love and hatred. Soaring freely in the sky, stopping at the top of the highest peak, with a long sigh echoing in this mountain stream, the frolicking of two children lights up the colorful lights of this black and white serious world.

"Brother, listen, what kind of eagle can make such an imposing sound." The little girl's innocent voice is immature and graceful.

"Of course it's our father! Only the eagles of our royal family are such heroes! "The little boy is not as immature as the girl's voice, but he is just a teenager.

"Brother, will you be the king in the future?" The girl looked up and asked his brother, who already needed her to look up a little at the moment.

"Of course, after my brother became king, he took you out to play every day, okay?" The little boy was full of spirit and confidence.

"Okay, good, my brother is the best! Brother, let's go to the Master, let the Master teach us to fly more handsomely, I want to hurry up like the masters, fly so freely, so beautiful. The childish voice was full of anticipation.

"So we'll go now?" The little boy dotes on his sister.

Before the two children could leave, a gentle call stopped them, "Hui'er, Rong'er, where are you two going to hide and play again?" ”

"The Queen Mother." After Yinghui and Yingrong performed an ordinary salute, they happily snuggled up to the queen mother.

"Queen Mother, we want to go to Master Hao and Master Ping to learn to fly." Ying Rong told her mother in her young and soft voice, which was very similar to her childhood self.

"I love learning so much, what a good child of my mother. Now I don't rush to find the master, go change my clothes, and follow my mother to my father. Father has something to say to you. Queen Lan looked at the two children, her eyes full of happiness.

Ying Rong has been deeply favored by the Eagle King since he was a child, and he doesn't feel anything. As the prince of the Eagle Kingdom, Yinghui is the future king, and the Eagle King is extremely strict with him, so Yinghui is more afraid of his father. Hearing that his father had something to explain, Yinghui's little body couldn't help but shudder. Queen Lan saw her son's strange appearance, and said to him gently: "Don't be afraid, it's a good thing." ”

"Did my father hunt a good rabbit? I like to eat rabbit meat the most, it tastes delicious and delicate......" Before Yingrong could finish speaking, she was interrupted by her mother: "You girl, you know how to eat." All right, go and change your clothes, and you'll know when you get to your father. ”

With Yinghui's inner apprehension along the way, he finally came to the main hall of the palace, and Yingwang Ling sat in the middle, not angry and arrogant. The four important ministers, namely Wang Zihui and Princess Rong's masters, were on the right side of the emperor, and the empty hall made the breathing sound very imposing. After Ying Hui and Ying Rong sat next to the Eagle King, they bowed to their father, and the Eagle King nodded, and the two of them stepped forward.

"Father, what good thing is it that you came to me and my brother?" Ying Rong is tired of being by the Eagle King's side, and wants to make his father happy first, so that his brother can also relax. This trick really worked, and the Eagle King was overjoyed when he saw his daughter.

"Rong'er, haven't you been playful again recently, my father hasn't seen you for a long time!" Although it is a blaming word, the tone is full of love.

"Where is Rong'er playful, it's obvious that you're too busy, father. Rong'er and her brother want to come to see their father, but their father is busy with big things! "Eagle Rong's natural way, her father didn't really blame her.

"Haha! My father is busy for the sake of a better life for the people of my Eagle Country. Every word the daughter said was as sweet as candied fruit to the Eagle King, and the Eagle King was very happy to hear it.

"Rong'er and my brother can help their father share the burden! Father, don't work too hard, Rong'er and brother will be distressed! Ying Rong knew that her brother was in awe and fear of her father, and her father was even stricter to her brother than to be affectionate, so she always couldn't leave her brother in every sentence, so that her father would treat her brother like he did to her. In fact, how did she know that such strictness was pinned on Yinghui, how could the Eagle King not know this careful thinking.

"Hui'er, come here." The Eagle King saw Yinghui's frightened appearance, and his tone was not as stern as before.

"Yes, Father." Yinghui saw that his father was amused by his sister, and his mood was also relaxed.

"It's about to be your coming-of-age ceremony, you and your sister are born one day, and naturally one day to hold a coming-of-age ceremony, the process and rules will be taught to you by the two masters, Ping and Hao. After the coming-of-age ceremony, Rong'er continued to practice with Ying Ping and Ying Hao, while Hui'er," the Eagle King paused, looking at his only prince, "You have to learn from the two masters, Ying Xu and Ying Ming, how to become the lord of this country." ”

Such news is naturally worth jubilating. It's just that Master Ming always smiles, but Master Xu is the most ruthless. Because he has the greatest ability, and he also bears the mission of cultivating kings for the Eagle Country, he will definitely be strict and harsh to Yinghui.

Speaking of these four masters, they are also from the same school, Yingxu is the eldest, followed by Yingming, and the youngest is the only female master, Yingping. Yingxu is focused on studying how to make himself, the king, and the prince stronger; And Yingming smiles every day, always thinking about eating some wild food, but he is a hidden master; As for Yinghao, he just taught the prince and princess some basic skills like Yingping, he liked Yingping since he was a child, but Yingping was lukewarm to him; And Yingping is even more than when she is teaching kung fu, she is not willing to give up all day long, and she doesn't know what she is thinking. Ying Rong and Ying Hui always smiled and said, Master Ping looked at the sky in a daze, and Master Hao looked at Master Ping in a daze.

Ying Rong was still immersed in the joy that his brother was about to be as powerful as his father, and the Eagle King went on to announce their arrangements after the coming-of-age ceremony, "After this, Rong'er, you are not allowed to disturb your brother's practice. ”

Ying Rong didn't seem to understand the meaning of Eagle King's words: "Father, Rong'er will work as hard as her brother, and she won't pester her brother to play with me anymore!" ”

"Nope." The Eagle King said this word loudly, "What Father means is that you and your brother can't practice together, you have to learn different courses." ”

"Then what does Rong'er want to do with her brother?" Ying Rong was obviously a little anxious.

"Wang Zihui's training is seven groups for one course, and seven seven and forty-nine are for a cycle. Only after completing a cycle can he take a break, and as long as he completes this cycle well and the two masters are satisfied, he can see you once. When your brother will take you to play, it's all up to him. Ying Hao explained to Princess Rong on behalf of the king.

This may be a good way to motivate Yinghui to work hard. In this huge palace, only these two children born at the same time are the same age, and the children of the royal family are not allowed to play with other children because of their dignified blood, and they are not even allowed to eat hares and voles casually. Yingrong looked at her brother with mixed feelings, the two of them were tired of being together every day since they were children, and their relationship was very good, but she also understood that her brother had a heavy responsibility, and she hoped that her brother would be as strong as her father. So, in the few days they got along, the two children played even more.

The happy times always pass quickly, and when it comes to the most important rite of passage for them, after which they will also live separately for the first time.

The royal family's coming-of-age ceremony is extremely solemn. On this day, Wang Zihui and Princess Rong put on luxurious costumes and walked towards the Eagle King and Queen step by step. After staying together for many years, the Eagle King and the Queen are as affectionate as ever, no matter how big or small the occasion is, the Eagle King will always hold the queen's hand tightly, as if telling her that this moment is what we witnessed together, and we are together at this moment. Xu was excited, and the queen wept softly as the children came, and all this was in full view of the Eagle King.

"Lan'er, everything is fine, it's all going in the direction it should be." And Queen Lan also nodded deeply in response.

Wang Zihui and Princess Rong understood at this moment that they were shouldering a heavy responsibility, no longer playing and laughing as usual, and still had more perseverance and courage on their immature faces. Wang Zihui walked in front of the Eagle King, and the Eagle King put on a battle robe for him, implying that he would fight on behalf of the Eagle Kingdom in the future, and he would be responsible for defending his homeland. At this time, Wang Zihui swore an oath to all the people, swore to defend the territory for the Eagle Country, and swore to let the people of the Eagle Country live and work in peace and contentment. Relatively speaking, Princess Rong's etiquette is much simpler, she only needs the queen to put on the most beautiful lotus dress for her, put away her waist-length long hair, and bring a luxurious hairpin, which is to complete the transformation from an ignorant little girl to a young girl. Yinghui took his sister's hand, and the two of them turned around and changed into eagles, soaring in the sky, making a call, and the whole sound resounded through the valley. From now on, they will no longer be able to play carefree.
