Chapter 228: Rite of Passage
For example, in ancient China, the Han nationality had a men's crown ceremony, a women's ceremony, and a Naxi woman/men's skirt/trouser ceremony, a Tibetan woman's daiba bead ceremony, a Pumi teenager's skirt/trouser ceremony, and the Kino ethnic group also had a social festival.
In some foreign countries, some rites of passage continue into modern times, such as the ordination ceremony in Israel, and the wrestling and stone-sitting ceremony of young boys and girls of the Kabule tribe in Togo in West Africa. Of course, there is also the file power, which is to file the front teeth into a fang-like shape, which means that the youth of the tribe can fight wild beasts; The same is true for the tooth breaking ceremony. The bloody ones also include circumcision, lizard-swallowing and even cliff-jumping ceremonies......
The so-called coming-of-age ceremony, to put it bluntly, is that a child grows up and can fulfill and assume the obligations and responsibilities given by the society or family. As a king, Chenguang's coming-of-age ceremony contains more emphasis on dà. And the border city of Blood Helmet City is logically not qualified to hold his coming-of-age ceremony, but there is a saying called special affairs, so although the scale is not up to standard, the content is not ambiguous at all.
First of all, the city lord's mansion, which was the residence of His Royal Highness, was just dawn, and there were guards at the gate who completely opened it. And the gate built by the city lord's mansion is full of twelve, and the number twelve is like the ninety-five in ancient China. The Dachen Empire has twelve marshals, twelve provinces, and twelve cities in each ☆☆~ province.
On this day, from sunrise to dusk, the gate of the city lord's mansion will not be closed, and the local tyrants and gentry in the city, anyway, the families with heads and faces or above, will be invited to enter to see the demeanor of His Royal Highness Chenguang. And in the eyes of the invitees, this is also a very long-faced thing, and it can even be sung for decades.
At 7 a.m., the patrol officers set out in the nest. At this time, the patrol officer not only played the role of a police officer, but also had the power to evict the hawkers and assist the tax collector to collect taxes in the city. These patrolmen immediately under the order of the chief director, first went through the line of His Royal Highness Chenguang's patrol, and then guarded them at a fixed point step by step.
It can be seen that above this line, it is so clean that there is not even a single hair, and all the vendors along the line dare not open the door to make a living, so it is extraordinarily wide. Because of Xu Dong's strong methods before, the foreign awakened people in the Blood Helmet City were caught and fled, which can already be described as disappearing. And there are also people in this city who dare to defy the world's condemnation and do vicious things at this time and place, so the deployment of this matter looks difficult, but in fact, it is not particularly difficult.
At ten o'clock at seven, the large and small families of the Blood Helmet City began to appear from everywhere in an endless stream, as if the streams converged into the river, and entered the City Lord's Mansion one after another, waiting for His Highness Chenguang to appear.
Xu Dong was also invited, but he pushed him away under the pretext of inspecting important tasks. In fact, he did patrol back and forth on the established line of His Highness Chenguang, using his mental eye to detect the suspiciousness around him. At this time, the role of the mind and eye can be seen. Within the coverage of the heart and eye, the senses of sight, taste, smell, hearing, and touch will be waved, or even a fly will not leak is relatively exaggerated, but at least there is no hidden armor, but it is also clear at a glance.
After inspecting back and forth four or five times, the time also came to eight o'clock in the morning, and suddenly a pair of white-clothed soldiers came out of the city lord's mansion. The snow-white and spotless robe with a solemn expression, as well as the neat two rows of twenty people, is really good-looking. After the formation of twenty people appeared, the onlookers were buzzing like blind flies, but suddenly fell completely silent.
Immediately afterward, the group of armor warriors from the Mondo Temple moved in unison, as if the horns and timing of the raised hands were as neat and consistent as a machine, and slowly grasped the forty-five corners of the staff and raised it. If the staff were to be extended, it would not be difficult to see that twenty staff would converge into one point in mid-air.
Then the white-clad warriors began to use the power of flesh and blood armor, and immediately saw that even in broad daylight, the surface of the staff was still lit up with a rich green light, and when they saw this light, everyone sincerely felt the cleanliness and sacredness in it!
A ball of light the size of a human head quickly took shape under the convergence of the light emitted by the staff, and then it went straight to the sky with a bang, flying above the meter, and then exploded with a muffled bang, as if using the sky as a paper, using the brushwork of rendering!
The green halo lingered for four or five seconds before slowly dissipating, and the loud sound was still heading out in all directions of the city. The people I came into contact with within the meter range all felt like a spring breeze.
This ability, called Soul Cleansing, not only serves as a fireworks, but also cleanses the body and mind for a certain distance. Of course, it is the best way to fool people by pretending to be missionary.
Sure enough, in the next second, a large number of believers were prostrate and chanting Mondo.
After the Cleansing Technique was performed twelve times in a row, the first group of battle armor soldiers appeared from the City Lord's Mansion, this is the warrior of the guarding force of the Mondo Temple, the warrior of the Sanctuary of the guard, the forefront is the sheepskin shield sword warrior, the long sword at the waist and the shield behind the back, the expression is cold and solemn; In the latter column is the sheepskin shield technician, with a shield behind the scepter at his waist, and his face is neither sad nor joyful.
Although this guard force is only twenty or fifty people, because of the privileges of the Mondo Temple, its equipment also has echoing patterns, and the strength is not far behind the Nuhan camp.
Followed by Chenguang, who was dressed in a gorgeous costume, Chenguang was obviously carefully dressed, he was only an eighteen-year-old boy, but from a distance, he looked like a mature man in his twenties, giving people a strong and tough image, and he was quite handsome, and at this time he evolved into a hero.
Well?! Xu Dong's heart was slightly stunned, Chenguang was sitting on the top of a bright and open carriage, there was only one groom in the carriage, and Chen Guang was accompanied by only the beautiful and incomprehensible Ma Qingfeng, and there was no other guard, so he sat blatantly and smiling!
After the carriage, there was a series of gorgeous carriages, on which were the Yang family, the Liang family, the Ma family and other wealthy families, followed by the second-line local tyrants and gentry, and then the Hanmen family
The convoy traveled slowly along the established line, receiving the attention of the people, and finally slowly entered the Mondo Temple, which was cleared.
At this moment, a team of people galloped over, and that person was Director Lei. Director Lei still looked like an old and weak soldier, and his voice was always half-dead, "Xu Dong, you immediately deploy the southeast area now." Just now His Highness said that the established line will be canceled. The specific way to go, for the time being, I don't know, I can only see the moves, see the walking steps, so I worked hard for you. ”
Xu Dong could only smile bitterly after hearing this, and immediately arranged for patrolmen to arm after making a military salute. In the previous generation, Xu Dong also worked at the grassroots level, generally speaking, the superior leaders inspect the place, needless to say environmental sanitation, of course, the ghost hawkers should be cleaned up, and the cleaned. Of course, there is no need to worry about this aspect now, there is no blind guy who occupies the road.
And this kind of deployment of seeing and dismantling moves, what is important is a flexible response. Be the first to do a good job at the fork in the road. Xu Dong immediately opened the prepared map, and then beckoned the knife and the four guard commanders. Fortunately, the streets and alleys in the southeast area are not as complicated as they are in modern times, with only one fork in the road, and all the alleys and other alleys, so the difficulty is not too big.
After calmly giving the order, the patrol officers immediately took action, first starting to set up the defense at the exit street of the Mondo Temple, and extending directly to the first fork. Suppose that after the convoy passes, the patrolman behind the convoy will immediately feel the first fork in the road and proceed to the next stage of manpower deployment.
And with Xu Dong's current prestige among the patrolmen, his orders were naturally carried out without any hindrance.
At about ten o'clock in the morning, His Highness Chenguang's motorcade officially completed the ordination ceremony, and then began to circle the city. As Xu Dong expected, this carriage team actually immediately drove slowly in the direction of the Eastern District.
Under Xu Dong's excellent command, His Highness Chenguang's convoy completed the parade in the city without any accidents. Soon, the group finally left the city gate. According to the information obtained by Xu Dong before, His Royal Highness Chenguang will select a village to parade, showing Shangfeng's care and care for the villagers. However, with Chenguang's current situation, it is really difficult to figure out whether he will change his mind temporarily.
After Chenguang and his entourage left completely, a glimmer of light suddenly flashed in Xu Dong's eyes, if anyone noticed this glimmer of light, they would definitely shudder, if this person was still a senior old hunter, then he would definitely appear, a wild wolf who had been hungry for ten days and eight days in winter, what was revealed in his green eyes was such a look!!
At this time, since the largest object to be protected in the city has left, both Director Lei and Director Li can't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and it is inevitable that there will be a situation of relaxation. For example, Lao Lei waved his horsewhip and yawned to rush home. This old guy is reluctant to get up from the warm bed until nine o'clock in the morning on weekdays, and now he wants to go back to sleep.
As for Lao Li, this guy is very utilitarian, thinking about showing his face in front of His Royal Highness Chenguang no matter what, not asking the other party to recognize him at a glance, just trying to be familiar, so he found an opportunity to sneak out of the city! Then he handed over all the affairs to his cronies and became the shopkeeper.
In other words, for the next hour, Xu Dong was the only leader of the Order Sanctuary on duty.
He took a deep breath, his eyes burning with madness, and seemed to have made up his mind, and walked alone back to the shelter of Order, and then sneaked into the dungeon. Where to evolve
