Chapter 23 The retreat begins
"What your sister Yuyan said is true, and I have heard my father talk about it. It seems that our Shamrock Town has also walked out of a civilian cultivator, who is about the same age as our father's generation. I heard that he killed all directions back then!" Zhang Mochen nodded slightly, making Zhang Moran's last trace of doubt disappear without a trace.
"Hmm!" Zhang Moran nodded happily, Chu Chu's moving eyes were full of excitement and hope.
......
Time always flies in a beautiful atmosphere. When the three of them walked out of the Drunken Immortal Pavilion, it was already dusk and afternoon.
Because tomorrow is going to retreat and meditate for the final sprint, so there will be no time to see each other for a while, Zhang Mochen and Wang Yuyan are side by side at this moment, walking slowly on the heavy stone slab, saying some whispered words before parting.
Zhang Moran followed behind the two unhurriedly, his eyes were a little distracted, but every time he focused on the two people in front of him, he would inadvertently shed a trace of bitter emotion.
Zhang Moran shook his head quietly, tried his best to calm down the undeserved emotions in his heart, and scolded himself in his heart, "Zhang Moran, Mochen is your brother, brother ......"
When they came to an intersection, the three of them finally stopped. Smiling lightly at Zhang Moran, Wang Yuyan looked at Zhang Mochen again, and only after a moment did she reluctantly turn around and leave.
Zhang Mochen also looked at him with affection, until the aqua blue shadow disappeared into the corner in the distance.
"Brother Mochen, let's go!" Zhang Moran walked up, and when she saw Zhang Mochen's stupid expression, a wry smile rose at the corner of her mouth.
"Well, let's go!" Zhang Mochen smiled slightly, at this moment he only had the sadness of saying goodbye to Wang Yuyan in his heart, so he didn't notice Zhang Moran's somewhat melancholy eyes.
After a night of silence, the sun rose in the east as usual, and although the windows were closed, the bright sunlight still shone in, forming circular spots of light of various sizes on the ground, dotting the clean and tidy room.
Zhang Mochen seemed to have started earlier than before, and now he had finished washing, standing in front of a golden bronze mirror and arranging his hair and clothes.
The Five Elements Continent, although every corner is filled with the power of the five elements, there are still differences. In some places, the Yuan Force in the space is very majestic, while in other places it is quite scarce.
The same is true of Shamrock Town, the mansions of the four major families are undoubtedly the area with the strongest power of the four elements, of course, there is another space that can be compared to it, that is, the Awakening Ritual Square in Shamrock Town, in addition, it is incomparable.
Zhang Mochen looked back at the little white tiger beast on the bed, the previous scarce hair was now fluffy and dense, it looked even more cute, and its body had grown a lot, but it was still trembling from time to time.
Zhang Mochen felt relieved in his heart, although the eyes of the little white tiger beast had not yet opened, but the vital signs were much better than at the beginning, at least they would not die young, and after smiling slightly, he walked towards the hall of the Zhang family.
When Zhang Mochen came to the hall, he found that everyone had gathered.
"It's still too late!" Zhang Mochen sighed secretly, and then strode forward, came to the center of the hall, and knelt on one knee.
"Daddy!"
Seeing Zhang Mochen's figure, shrouded in the light coming in from the hall door, appeared in his field of vision, Zhang Tianfeng smiled with relief and said softly: "Get up." ”
As Zhang Mochen took his seat, Zhang Tianfeng slowly got up, and his eyes swept through the hall unhurriedly.
"Today is the day of retreat, and it is customary to summon everyone to cheer for the children of the clan who are participating in the awakening ceremony. Zhang Tianfeng's deep voice rang out resolutely as his gaze retracted. "Boys, come to the middle!"
As Zhang Tianfeng spoke, in addition to Zhang Mochen and Zhang Moran, thin figures walked out from both sides of the lower hall. A moment later, there were more than a dozen teenagers and girls in the center of the hall with excited faces.
Looking at the children who were eager to try, Zhang Tianfeng's eyebrows also stretched a little.
"My Zhang family has been based in Sanye Town for nearly 100 years, and the reason why it can flourish and grow endlessly is that there are batches of children like you who have been fighting for the family. Zhang Tianfeng's expression became more and more excited, and his voice gradually became high-pitched.
Zhang Tianfeng got up slowly, pacing back and forth on the steps, his hands behind his back, and his eyes were bright.
"It was in this hall that I remember vividly what my father said to me. Zhang Tianfeng stepped down and looked down at the flowers of more than ten families in the audience again. "As a clansman, I will repay the kindness of the clan, and even if there are thousands of difficulties and dangers, I smile calmly and are fearless. The words of the old patriarch, today, I give it to you!"
Zhang Tianfeng's words, word by word, resounded throughout the hall under the thick atmosphere, and inspired the hearts of more than a dozen teenagers and girls.
"We will live up to the patriarch's expectations!" At this moment, the hearts of this group of children are undoubtedly not occupied by excitement. Obviously, on the top of the steps, the dragon head of the family is extremely infectious.
"Okay!" Zhang Tianfeng shouted, "Let's all get ready to go, and on the day you wake up, I will personally celebrate your achievements!"
With Zhang Tianfeng's announcement, more than a dozen children walked out of the hall under the leadership of Zhang Tianbing. The others also left the scene, but some of them had obvious anticipatory worries on their faces.
Among this group of children, in addition to Zhang Mochen and Zhang Moran, there are also children of other characters in the clan, although the status of this group of people is not as good as the four brothers and sisters of the Zhang family, but they are also the core strength. Their status in the clan will also be directly affected by whether or not the next generation can awaken the power of the elements. The Awakening Ritual is coming, and it is not only a test for the children, but also a level for the adults to pass.
Zhang Tianbing took Zhang Mochen and the others to a relatively remote place in the clan. After walking along a bamboo path for a while, a dirt clearing appeared in front of me.
The place is not big, there is a stone table and several stone benches in the center, the stone table and the stone bench have a thin layer of dust on the surface, and around it, dozens of straw mats lie quietly on the ground, and there is nothing else.
Between heaven and earth, the power of the elements is rich and different, although the Zhang family occupies a treasure land in Sanye Town, but in this huge space, the connotation of Yuan Li is also different. In this seemingly depressed open space in the garden, Yuan Li seems to be thicker, otherwise the Zhang family would not use this place as a forbidden place for retreat and meditation.
"This retreat lasted for seven days, and after that it was a major turning point in your life, and I hope you don't waste the time you have left. Zhang Tianbing's tone was like his own person, flat and with a hint of coolness.
"Yes!" everyone bent down and clenched their fists at Zhang Tianbing, and replied seriously. But when I looked up again, all I saw was a cold back.
Zhang Tianbing's departure made this group of fifteen or sixteen-year-old children finally breathe a sigh of relief. The immature breath once again occupied the somewhat green face.
Among the same age, Zhang Mochen looked more mature, and seeing that everyone couldn't hold back the excitement in their hearts, they began to laugh in twos and threes, and said with a dry cough: "Okay, let's start!"
Seeing this, everyone playfully stuck out their tongues and raised their eyebrows, walked to the straw mat, took a deep breath, and then sat down slowly.
Zhang Mochen also pulled Zhang Moran to choose two straw mats in the middle, smiled at each other, and then settled down, and his hands formed a strange mark at the same time.
