Section 46 Graduation Ceremony
Time flies, and in a blink of an eye, it is the end of May.
This day is a very important day for the Su family, and it is also the day when the spirit of the academy graduates.
The ceremony is very grand, but compared with the past, it is still a little more deserted and dignified.
Many of the students who accompanied them day and night died in the hunting competition and failed to appear on the stage of the ceremony, which could not help but make the teenagers who were still alive a little sad, and their faces were solemn.
The ceremony was held at the time of the Su family's funeral, where the mourning platform was arranged, and the symbolism here was of great significance.
When spring goes to autumn, when they open their spirits, they are witnessed here, and when they graduate, they are also witnessed here.
Their growth is obvious to all!
Wow~
A jingle shook sound, like maple bells blown by the evening breeze.
There were already a lot of people gathered in the audience, and when they heard the sound, they all turned their heads and looked at the source of the sound.
I saw that the people of the Ministry of Rites were walking in the back, with a red and yellow flag sail in their hands, and many words such as Su, Li, Xin, and Yi were written on it.
The first person in the front, with fluttering hair, wearing a cloud-white mist robe, is dusty, holding a royal festival scepter, shining with golden light, and the ring is jingling.
A gust of breeze came in his face, and Su Daoqing walked through with the personnel of the Ministry of Rites.
Everything is ready and all the arrangements are already in place.
On the mourning platform, Su Yuanli inserted incense pillars, burned talisman paper, and prayed to the sky.
The ceremonial procession stood in two columns along the stairs under the mourning platform, and the flags and sails buzzed.
Su Daoqing stood behind Su Yuanli, facing everyone, babbling in his mouth, pinching and reciting mantras.
God seemed to hear the hearts of the group of ants below, and the originally clear sky turned out to be a gust of wind, blowing the rune paper all over the sky, and the fire was sprinkled with firelight.
After a pillar of incense, the flame was extinguished, the wind no longer rolled, and everything was calm as usual.
Su Yuanli turned around, patted Su Daoqing's shoulder, and said kindly: "Daoqing, next, I'll leave it to you." Then he stepped back from the altar.
Su Daoqing nodded, indicating understanding.
With a wave of his robe, a list appeared in his hand.
Su Daoqing looked at the name on the list and began to read it loudly.
"Su Daoming, the second grade high realm!"
"Su Bowei, the first realm of the second grade!"
"Su Qiling, the first realm of the second grade!"
"Sophie, the first realm of the second grade!"
"Su Wu, the second grade of the first realm!"
...
The names of more than a dozen people were quickly recited, and almost all of these people's cultivation had reached the second grade.
If it does not explode in silence, it dies in silence.
Their experience is the heaviest since the previous academy, and their cultivation is undoubtedly the most outstanding.
Su Daoming's legs have been treated by flesh and bones, and they have reached the peak state, and in terms of cultivation, they are also higher than others.
One by one, the teenagers walked up to the altar and lined up in a horizontal row.
Su Daoqing stood in front of them and presented them with medals.
The medallion is a silver iron headband with a double character engraved on it, which means that from now on, they have completely graduated and reached the second rank of the spirit and become a member of the family.
"Congratulations, you graduated!" Su Daoqing said with a smile.
Under the spiritual stage, the six radicals gathered, and countless clansmen watched.
As Su Daoqing's words fell, the clansmen burst into thunderous applause to express their blessings.
Whoa!
Most of the people's faces were filled with joy and relief, and a small number of people, who didn't know whether they were moved or sad, actually left tears.
On the altar, Su Daoqing's eyes were full of tears, and he was a little excited, he and Su Daoming, who was also in tears, looked at each other, and the excitement of the father and son at the moment was all in plain sight.
In the crowd, someone suddenly looked up to the sky and laughed, with a little tears in his eyes: "Son, have you seen it? Your classmates have all graduated!" he said, and his expression became lonely: "It's a pity... You're not one of them..."
At this point, his tears could no longer be held back from his cheeks.
There are not a few people in the same state as him!
The clansmen were touched by the scene and wept silently.
These people have all experienced the pain of losing their children in the hunting competition.
Looking at the sadness that they could read each other, they hugged each other, hugged each other and cried, and their mouths were relieved.
"Don't cry! Our children are sacrificed for the family, martyrs, and glory!"
"We should be happy!"
Their conversations infect other people.
The clansmen saluted them with great honor.
"You are all good, and the family will not forget your children's efforts!"
"Yes, your children will be very happy to see this scene of the graduation ceremony in the spirit of heaven!"
"Heroic parents, please bow down to me!"
"Please Accept My !!"
...
Hula!
The surrounding tribesmen bent down in unison and bowed to those who wept.
The atmosphere was instantly pushed to a climax!
Seeing this, Su Yuanli had a flash of inspiration in his head and grinned.
Then, he strode forward, stood up, and announced loudly in accordance with the will of the clan: "From now on, the names of all the spirits who died in the hunting competition will be engraved into the Su family tree and the martyr merit list to honor the descendants of the Su family!"
Rumble!
There was another burst of exclamation, then a roaring applause, and the Su family members shouted one after another.
"The Patriarch is Wise !!"
"Patriarch Shengming !!"
"I will never forget the kindness of the patriarch!"
"I'm willing to go to the soup for the patriarch, and I won't give up!"
"Even if we are broken, it will be difficult for us to repay the kindness of the patriarch!"
...
At the end of the voice, it was already indignant and deafening!
Su Yuanli listened to the shouts around him like a wave, and his heart was surging a little.
He didn't expect this sentence to trigger such a strong effect.
Just after the crowd passed, the scene was quiet.
An extraordinarily harsh cold snort came into everyone's ears.
Su Mou came to the back of the crowd step by step, full of the stench of alcohol.
"To be dead is to be dead, to gain nothing, to have nothing, but to a pinch of loess. Su Mou was very disdainful of the surrounding boiling voices, and he smiled coldly.
"The so-called sense of honor and superiority are all jokes of self-deception. ”
Su Mou was unusually familiar with these voices, but he felt unfamiliar.
What is familiar is that he used to be a hot-blooded teenager, who would be inspired to charge into battle, wanting to protect his family and change the world.
The strange thing is that when Su Mou lived enough for 10,000 years, these things had already left him and he could see through everything.
Any family, any force, needs sacrifice, and the spirit of sacrifice is being promoted.
A piece of cake is so big, and there are more people to divide it, but not enough people to eat it.
In a family with limited resources, spirits need spirit elements, materials, spiritual weapons, and become powerful.
If you don't sacrifice and compete with me for resources, what will I take to become stronger?
If people don't do it for themselves, heaven and earth will be destroyed!
The so-called honor, blood, friendship, and protection are all the authority given to the superiors, the sacrifice of the family, and a righteous and bright reason.
There is no force that does not encourage sacrifice.
But the superiors never say it, they will plant this idea in people's hearts, promote this spirit, and label them as heroes, martyrs, etc., to benefit and drive people to sacrifice.
But people are dead, what's the use of these things?
A bunch of dead heroes, turned into a pinch of loess, buried in the ground, and their names engraved on the stone tablet, what can they enjoy?
What did the people who died at the hunting tournament go?
Honor, fame, or profit?
Nothing!
Thousands of years later, how many people still remember these names that were engraved on the martyr's merit list?
And how many people remember what happened to them?
Su Mou sneered, strode forward, and became the target of everyone.
"Su Mou, what are you laughing at?"
"Smell of alcohol, how much alcohol have you drunk!"
"Ridiculous, the graduation ceremony is so grand, how can you be presumptuous here!"
"Su Mou, what do you want to do?"
Everyone fried the pot one after another, calling Su Mou's name.
In their hearts, this ceremony was different from all the previous ones, it was a sacred stage that could not be tarnished in the slightest.
Su Mou didn't answer them, but asked Su Daoqing, "It seems that the Daoqing clan elder has one less name, right?"
"What?"
"Nonsense, the old Daoqing clan still needs you to question what he does!"
"Third son, I see that you are still young, shut up quickly, don't disturb the order of the ceremony. ”
The clansmen, who didn't even dare to breathe in front of Su Mou on weekdays, didn't know where the courage came from at this time, and they pointed the finger at Su Mou.
It can also be anger in grief, or it can be blindness in the crowd.
In short, they have been brainwashed too deeply, and Su Mou's performance undoubtedly makes them unhappy, and they want to turn Su Mou's thinking to the same as them, so they can stop.
Su Daoqing was very unhappy at this time, he had already made a lot of preparations in advance for today's ceremony, how could he read one less person's name?
"What, don't you know that I'm also a member of the academy?" Su Mou's words woke up the dreamer.
The corners of Su Daoqing's mouth twitched.
Oh, yes!
Su Mou is indeed a member of the Spirit Academy, and the academy has always had his name on it, but no one cares about this issue.
Su Daoqing's eyebrows furrowed, and he asked, "What?"
"Naturally, I want to award a medal!" Su Mou said and stepped onto the spiritual platform, regardless of what others thought.
"What a shameless and shameless man!"
"I've never seen anyone so brazen!"
"The significance of this spiritual platform is extraordinary, standing on the spiritual platform are all the heroic young men of my Su family, and they also carry the heroic souls of all the sacrificed spirits in the hunting competition, why is he Su Mou qualified to go to the spiritual platform?"
"Get down!"
I don't know who shouted such a sentence in secret, just like a stone thrown into the water, a stone stirs up a thousand waves!
The crowd was indignant!
"Get down!"
"Get down !!"
...
Su Mou didn't seem to hear it, and stood firmly on the spiritual platform, as if a nail had been planted under his feet.
Su Yuanli saw that the form was not right at this time, stepped onto the spiritual platform, and raised his hand to signal everyone to suppress the words.
The voice went out in an instant, and everyone looked at Su Yuanli.
Su Yuanli turned around and whispered to Su Mou: "What are you messing around with again, why don't you go down quickly?"
Su Mou turned a deaf ear and responded lightly: "There is my name in the school, why should I go down?"
"This..."Su Yuanli pondered for a while, not knowing what to say.
The scene was a little unspeakable.
At this moment, Su Daoqing said with a smile: "Since the third prince said that he is a member of the Spirit Academy, let the third prince attend the graduation ceremony." ”
Su Yuanli looked at him suspiciously.
The audience shouted.
"Why?"
"He's never been in the academy!"
Su Mou sneered sarcastically: "I've been on for three days!"
"You..."
"Mess around!"
Su Daoqing waved his hand and said to Su Mou: "Since the third prince has gone to the spiritual platform, then you are a member of the academy, according to the regulations of the academy, if the graduation ceremony does not reach the second grade of cultivation, you will be assigned to the logistics department." Now, ask the third prince to verify his cultivation and release the aura to take a look. ”
Everyone suddenly realized, it turned out that Su Daoqing was planning to do this, and at this time, they were all waiting with anticrative expectations to see Su Mou's jokes!
Su Yuanli's heart tightened, and he secretly wondered: "Mou'er, after half a year, what is your current cultivation?"
Su Mou sneered and released the aura according to Su Daoqing's intentions.
Suddenly, spiritual pressure formed around his body, and his cultivation was undoubtedly revealed.
"It's... Second grade primary!"
