The coming-of-age ceremony, for men who have reached the age of 16, is a baptism in life, and it is also a responsibility.

There are not many people in Qingshan Village, but they can thrive in the mountains, not only the blessing of the mountain spirit, but also the peace that every adult man has fought bloodily in the mountains.

The rite of passage is an honor, both for the soon-to-be-adult child and for every adult man.

Adulthood means glory, this is the glory of blood and sweat, and this is the oath to protect Qingshan Village from generation to generation.

In Qingshan Village, there is a vacant lot in the village, with animal bones in columns, and a bloody smell is permeated, but no one feels uncomfortable, even women, children and children. Because every villager knows that if there is one less animal bone and one less puddle of animal blood here, then it means that there will be one less person to go out hunting, and the price of fewer people is death.

On the contrary, the more animal bones and the more blood of the beast here, then it is the harvest of Qingshan Village, and it is the glory of fighting with blood! Therefore, no one will feel uncomfortable, and there is no reason to feel uncomfortable, this is the peaceful scene of Qingshan Village, but it is fought with blood and life!

Every year, a coming-of-age ceremony is held here in Castle Peak Village, even if there are no adult people.

The coming-of-age ceremony, which can also be the oath of an adult person, is to test whether the adult men in the village have fulfilled their duties and shouldered glory.

Every day on this day, outside Qingshan Village, all the beasts retreat, because there is a roar that shakes the sky.

Adult strong men, standing outside the village, each holding a blade, bloodstained, roared in unison, this roar shook the sky and repelled the beasts!

The roar shook the mountains for a long time, which was the prelude to the beginning of the coming-of-age ceremony in Qingshan Village.

The rite of passage cannot be interrupted, even though there are many protections outside the village to prevent wild beasts from entering, but there are exceptions to everything!

In the history of Qingshan Village, there was a generation of coming-of-age ceremonies, and for some reason the Qi roar before the coming-of-age ceremony was abolished.

That generation, because the original adult strong man was hunting, suffered a catastrophe and suffered more than half of the casualties, the green mountains mourned, and the blood filled the earth This generation can be called a bloody day, and I thought that the coming-of-age ceremony would bring new hope and a new beginning to the next generation.

However, due to the tragic death of most of the adult strong men, the number is too small, the villagers are worried that the roar before the coming-of-age ceremony will attract a herd of beasts, which will cause greater difficulties

But it turned out to be such a coincidence!

The fierce beasts outside Qingshan Village took advantage of their coming-of-age ceremony to attack Qingshan Village together, bleeding all over the ground and staining the mountain red.

Those fierce beasts are not because of anything else, but because that day, the people of Qingshan Village were afraid, and they didn't want to roar and shake the beasts, this is afraid. If the heart is afraid, how much can it be to fight? No wonder the wild beasts have entered the village together.

If you are not afraid, even if there is only one person left, the roar of one person can shake off the beasts!

This time on the day of bloodshed, two generations of people were harmed, and the green mountains shed blood, and the eternity became mourning.

Since then, each generation of village chiefs has repeatedly mentioned this matter, admonishing the villagers of Qingshan that even one person must shout glory!

If the sacrifice is the soul of Qingshan Village, then this coming-of-age ceremony is the bone of Qingshan Village.

When the roars of the adult men were over, they gathered in the center of the village, where every family would gather and sit cross-legged by the animal bone pen.

In the center of the beast bone bar is the skull of a giant ancient beast, which is several feet in size, even after a long time, the smell of blood has not dissipated, faintly flowing with beast power, fierce and compelling.

"This turned out to be a lion?!" Fang Tianque screamed in Mo Ran's head.

"How can this be a lion!"

"What are you screaming, it almost scared me" Mo Ran was shocked, and wondered in his heart, isn't it just a bone, it's a spirit bird, as for such a fuss.

This Fang Tianque has obviously been in the village for several days, has he never seen such a big lion skull, looking at the little sparrow in front of him, he showed disdain.

"Is this lion very special, look at you nervous, and an ancient spirit bird?"

"What kind of monsters are you villagers, what do you know, this is a lion, my God."

The little sparrow was dizzy for a while, and almost fainted.

It's no wonder that the blood here is abnormal, very rich, Fang Tianque often follows Xiaoqi, of course he won't come here, and this time he came with Mo Ran, wanting to see the coming-of-age ceremony, but he didn't expect it to see the lion skull!

"The lion is an ancient fierce beast, stepping on black clouds, splitting the sky in one step, tearing dragons on the top and swallowing Jiaojiao on the bottom!" Fang Tianque combed his chest with his wings and took a deep breath.

"My God, how did you get the skull of this fierce beast? As for the villagers of Qingshan, I don't believe it to die, even if it is a young lion, with a slap down, this mountain is gone, don't you really say that it is really a villager of Qingshan Village?"

Fang Tianque blinked his big eyes twice, his face was suspicious, and he still couldn't believe it in his heart.

"I heard from the village chief that this skull has been passed down from generation to generation, but I don't know very well."

Mo Ran thought about it and said, he thought it was an ordinary lion skull at first, wasn't it a little bigger.

Speaking of this lion, it has never been mentioned in the ancient books, no wonder he doesn't know, thinking that Fang Tianque is worthy of being an ancient spirit bird, he knows so much.

"Looks like I have to leave this savage village early, it's so insecure, maybe I don't know when I'm stewed"

The little sparrow looked at the animal bones around him, his feathers stood upright, and he was covered with pimples, and there were some spirit beasts and ancient beasts in the pile full of animal bones, and this village really hunted everything and ate everything.

Now it is only a child, like a little girl of five or six years old of the human race, although it has seen beasts fighting among the deep mountains and trees, but compared with the field made of thousands of beast bones here, it is simply incomparable, and the bloody ferocity here is too penetrating.

The people who participated in the coming-of-age ceremony all around the week also arrived one after another, and it was noon, when the sun was in the sky, and it was the time when the coming-of-age ceremony officially began.

On this day, several generations of the village's elders will appear, as well as some old people who would not normally be seen.

The coming-of-age ceremony will be a special wine made of animal blood, which is specially prepared for adult children, in addition to all kinds of animal blood, some spiritual herbs and elixirs are also added to it, after all, there are many elixirs in Qingshan Village.

After the special production method in the village, it is refined into beast blood wine, and now every adult child needs to take the beast blood wine handed by the old man and drink it all.

This is a ritual, only by drinking the blood of the beast can the beast be hunted and drunk in the future!

Mo Ran and a group of teenagers stood up together, this line of figures are all playmates for more than ten years, and after today, they are comrades-in-arms who defend the village together!

Everyone who has drunk the blood of the beast needs to say their own oath, and every oath is their own soul, and they will also be integrated into the village soul of this Qingshan Village.

The tall and swarthy Qin Li was the first to take the bowl and swallow it in one gulp

"I, Qin Li, am an adult today, and I will definitely defend the village, enjoy meat together, and drink wine together"

Then another tall figure, also not far behind, took the beast blood wine and drank it all

"I, Li Lei, am an adult today, and I will live up to my expectations, stand up to the sky and the earth, and kill beasts in blood"

"I, Sun Ming, have drunk this wine, and I will defend Qingshan Village to the death"

"I, Zhang Hai, am an adult today, swear by the blood of the beast, and protect the village for the rest of my life"

......

An oath, a sentence of arrogance, resounded over Qingshan Village, this oath, the soul is there, the village is there!

Mo Ran took the beast blood wine and drank it all, the emerald spiritual liquid in his body, without him noticing, was bursting with green mangs, which seemed to resonate with Qingshan's soul, and it did not stop for a long time.

Beast blood wine is the soul of Qingshan Village for generations, which can not only temper the body, but also a kind of faith, a kind of inexplicable vicissitudes and tragic soul.

"I, Mo Ran, am not from Qingshan Village......

Mo Ran's words attracted the attention of all the villagers.

He is not from Qingshan Village, and the villagers all know about it. But what surprised them was that Mo Ran had no scruples and spoke out bluntly.

Therefore, everyone is very curious, what will happen to Mo Ran's oath, the oath is like a soul, and the oath spoken at the coming-of-age ceremony represents a person!

"However, the green mountains cast my bones, cast my blood, cast my flesh, my soul is like a green mountain, protect this village, and I will not give in in this life!"

Mo Ran's deep voice, a roar, resounded in the sky, Qingshan resonated with it, there was a blue light manifestation, and the green light in his body was even more dazzling, as if it had a strong resonance with Qingshan's soul.

At this moment, the villagers of Qingshan Village really understood that Mo Ran was the people of Qingshan Village, and even the soul of Qingshan resonated with it, which was an honor that no villager had in the past generations.

It's as if Mo Ran is the real Qingshan villagers, and they just live here, and they are not really recognized! But no one thinks so, because Qingshan villagers have a kind of faith that they don't need to be spoken.

The rite of passage, roaring beasts, drinking the blood of beasts, and singing oaths, this is only the first stage of the rite of passage.

Today's children are adults, and after their vows, they are adults, and they also need to take their vows again, which is a kind of reinvention and a kind of test.

The oath of the rite of adulthood, in a sense, is more like a soldier who is about to go on an expedition as if he were going home, because there is no war in Qingshan Village, so every hunt outside the village may be a full return, or a parting of life and death

The coming-of-age ceremony in the second stage is a little more relaxed than the solemnity of the first stage, and it is just a mutual exchange.

The coming-of-age ceremony is the previous generation, and the actual combat skills of hunting beasts should be instilled in the adult people of this generation bit by bit, as an example for them to learn.

Although there are a lot of exchanges on weekdays, but more is only a play between peers, and the coming-of-age ceremony, in addition to peer learning, you can also ask your elders for advice, which is not arrogant, this is a must for every adult person.

Although in the rite of passage, this is only a suggestion and there is no hard and fast rule. But over the course of several generations, it has gradually taken shape.

As a junior to ask the elders for advice, if it is a frustration, as a kind of training, if it is a success, it is a kind of recognition of themselves, Qingshan Village people, must have the courage to win a hundred battles, but also to have indomitable perseverance!

"Qin Zhu, do you dare to fight!?" Sun Ming's father, Sun Hailong stepped out.

"My kid is lazy, the first game, I will fight, give him a long look"

"Come"

Qin Zhu stood up, roared loudly, and entered the same step.

The two fought together in a blink of an eye, this time they didn't use blades, both of them were empty-handed hand-to-hand, which was the most test of skill and strength, and also the most practical.

Because you can't keep hunting outside, your blades won't fall off, they won't be damaged!

But people will not, unless you fight to the exhaustion, your life is dry! Otherwise, your fists must be clenched until the last breath of battle, foreign objects are foreign objects after all, and your own strength is the most practical!

Mo Ran watched it closely, this kind of exchange happens every year, and he is constantly observing and learning, and it is integrated with what he has learned.

Although the villagers of Qingshan are simple, the perennial fighting techniques are simple and concise, and the road is simple, and that's it.
