Chapter 23: Rite of Passage

Suge felt a hint of pressure.

Reviving the glory of the Su family is not a burden that anyone can afford.

Fortunately, Su Ge has a system in his body, so he is not unsure.

"Holy Realm ......" Su Ge's eyes were scorching, and he believed that one day in the future, he would be able to reach that realm.

This is also a challenge for Suge.

A clear goal.

Looking at Su Ge's contemplative appearance, the patriarch said: "Don't put too much pressure on yourself, the Su family has been in decline for so many years, and it is not an overnight thing to want to rise again." Even if you can't do it, no one will blame you, after all, revitalizing the Su family is a matter for all clansmen, and you can't bear all this alone. ”

After a pause, the patriarch continued: "I also know that it is a bit unrealistic to revive the glory of the Su family hundreds of years ago. In fact, as long as the Su family can give birth to a Nirvana Realm powerhouse and regain the throne of the first family of the Great Xia Dynasty, I will be satisfied. ”

However, it is such a "small" wish, and the children of the Su family have worked hard for more than 200 years without success.

As an ancient family that has been inherited for hundreds of years, the goal of the patriarchs of the Su family is to restore the glory of the Su family, but with the passage of time, the requirements of the patriarchs are getting lower and lower, and now, the contemporary patriarchs dare not hope to revive the glory of the Su family.

Not to mention reviving the glory of the Su family, even in this small Daxia Dynasty, the Su family does not have much right to speak.

"I'm not afraid of your jokes, when I first took office, I was also very ambitious, I believe that with my own efforts, I will be able to realize the dream of reviving the glory of the Su family." The patriarch shook his head self-deprecatingly: "But decades have passed, and I have found that everything is not as simple as I imagined. Some things are easy to say, but they are very difficult to do. Is it easy to revive the Su family? ”

The patriarch was very ashamed in his heart, he felt that he was worse than all the patriarchs of previous generations.

Fortunately, the Su family came out with a Su Ge!

Seventeen-year-old Yuan Dan Realm Jiuzhong, an honorary cadet of the Great Xia Mercenary Academy, these two great auras can be recorded in the annals of the Great Xia Dynasty.

"I know it's unfair to you to put the burden of family revival on your own."

The patriarch looked at Su Ge with some guilt: "But I can't help it." The family has been in decline for too long, so long that everyone has forgotten the glory and pride of the family, and so long that a small Wuma family dares to step on the head of the Su family from time to time...... We need a genius who can lead the family forward, awaken the pride of the clan, and boost the confidence of the clan. ”

The patriarch did not dare to divulge the history of the Su family to the clansmen, because he was afraid, afraid of being targeted by the Chi family again.

But when he saw that the clansmen were full of the status quo, and there were only two opponents in their eyes, the Wuma family and the Zhou family, he was very sad.

Listening to the patriarch's words, Su Ge was silent, he could fully understand the patriarch's mood.

If he didn't know the secrets of the Su family, maybe he didn't think there was anything wrong with the Su family now, but after knowing that the Su family was once such a powerful family, and then looking at the current appearance of the Su family, this contrast is indeed sad.

The Su family is not bad, but not good enough.

It's not that the tribesmen don't work hard, but they don't work hard enough.

They are far from squeezing their extreme potential, and they have not driven themselves to the point of madness.

Thinking of the patriarch's expectations and trust in him, and thinking of the dreams of the clansmen of the past generations, Su Ge suddenly felt a heavy responsibility on his shoulders.

"Patriarch, don't worry, one day, I will lead the family to regain the throne of the first family of the Great Xia Dynasty, and even revive the glory of the family three hundred years ago." Su Ge looked at the patriarch solemnly, this was his promise to the patriarch.

"Revive the family's glory?"

The patriarch smiled dumbly, the young man really dared to think about it, he didn't dare to think about this kind of thing, but he didn't dampen Su Ge's enthusiasm, because he was so confident when he faced the previous patriarch, and the previous patriarch never laughed at him, but gave him encouragement, so he also encouraged Su Ge: "Okay, I believe in you, I will try to live until that day." ”

If you don't reach the Nirvana realm, your lifespan is very limited after all, and you can live twenty or thirty years longer than mortals at most.

The patriarch was already in his eighties, and he didn't know if he would be able to see the day when the Su family would regain its glory.

"It's not too early, let's get ready for the bar mig. The patriarch looked outside the house and said to Suge.

Suge nodded and followed the patriarch outside.

As he walked, the patriarch said, "Regarding the secrets of the Su family, you must remember not to spread them, not even to the clansmen." ”

Although more than three hundred years have passed, the patriarch is still afraid of the Chi family, and carefully sail the ship of ten thousand years, and the secret of the Su family is best rotten directly in the stomach.

If the Chi family wants to destroy the current Su family, it is no more difficult than crushing an ant.

Su Ge understood the patriarch's concern, and he nodded very solemnly, "I understand. ”

……

The coming-of-age ceremony, also known as the crown ceremony, generally has three steps: the first step, the ancestral hall ceremony, praying to the ancestors; The second step is to receive the gift and the adult is crowned; The third step is to entertain the guests and witness the adults.

At this time, except for a few people in the Su family who received guests outside, most of the clansmen had already gathered outside the ancestral hall, and some important figures such as elders and stewards were all present.

Everyone stood quietly, solemnly.

The patriarch and Su Ge walked out of the ancestral hall and stood in front of everyone.

A steward stepped forward and handed the patriarch a booklet with the prayers of the sacrifice.

Normally, a steward in charge of the coming-of-age ceremony presides over and reads the prayers of the sacrifice, but this time, the patriarch is ready to preside over it himself, which is the envy of many people.

"In the 19,989th year of the Tianyuan calendar, the Xiayang Hidden Dragon, the nine clans are harmonious. When a son is born, his virtue can be tested......"

After the patriarch finished reading the prayer, he nodded to the steward not far away, who understood, and immediately said to a few people around him, "Begin." ”

A few seconds later, the music was played, and the slightly sad, elegant, and solemn music reached everyone's ears.

After the music was played, several tribesmen came forward with trays full of exquisite food, and one of them handed Su Ge three sticks of incense.

Under the guidance of the clansmen, Su Ge walked into the ancestral hall, lit three incense sticks, and inserted them into a huge incense burner in the center of the ancestral hall.

The ritual process was very cumbersome, and it took two hours to toss and turn before the ancestral hall ceremony and adult crowning ended.

At this time, Su Ge's hair was no longer tied casually behind him, but coiled into a bun, and he was wearing a delicate and small crown hat, which made his whole person look calm and mature.

From the moment he put on the crown hat, he said goodbye to childishness and became an adult recognized by everyone.
