Chapter 937: Man Jianghong
Luo Yan, the teachers and students who came to watch the ceremony, came to the viewing platform under the guidance of the reception students of Yingtian Academy.
Looking at it, teachers and students from Tiannan, Yishui, Lingchuan, and Chang'an colleges and universities have already arrived.
The venue was bustling.
In the crowd, Luo Yan saw several familiar faces.
On the side of Yishui Academy, he saw Zhao Chen, Han Wenxing, and Yang Kui, the tall and burly first-year student he had met at the big sports meeting before.
They didn't notice Luo Yan, and their attention was all focused on the sword washing pool below.
In addition to this sword-washing pool, in the depths of the venue, Yingtian Academy also arranged an offering table, which was full of offerings.
This stalactite cave is not known to be formed naturally, or artificially excavated, so that there is a gap in the cave to connect the inside and outside.
During the day, a ray of light shines into the stalactite cave and falls on the offering table, which has a sacred atmosphere.
Students wearing dark black and aqua blue pattern ancient costumes are entering one after another, all of them are third-year students of Yingtian Academy, and they are also graduates of this year.
Among those people, Luo Yan saw Ling Han, and after he entered, his eyes searched everywhere, and finally landed on Han Na on the viewing platform, showing a smile and waving.
But Han Na was talking to someone else, and when she didn't respond, Ling Han's face became a little ugly.
But in a blink of an eye, it returned to normal, and in the presence of so many people, if it wasn't for noticing him in advance, it would be difficult to notice the change in his face.
Thinking of the voices he saw from Han Bai, Luo Yan could understand Ling Han's mood.
This person tried his best to revive the family business, but he refused to do it in a down-to-earth manner, but wanted to take a shortcut through the Han family, which was to understand Luo Yan, but he didn't sympathize with him at all.
At this time, Xiao Shi looked at the 'Washing Sword Pool' and said.
"Yingtian Academy's 'Sword Washing Ceremony inherits the ancient system, and has the meaning of 'washing away the dust, and the edge comes naturally."
"But 'the true content of the sword washing ceremony is not the sword, but the heart.'"
"The heart of a mortal is covered with dust, and this dust is the dust of ignorance."
"Washing the sword is more cleansing the heart, washing away the dust of ignorance in the heart, but making the sword heart clear and unhindered, this is the true meaning of the sword washing ceremony."
With Xiao Shi's introduction, everyone has a deeper understanding of Yingtian Academy's unique graduation ceremony.
It's not just about watching the excitement and watching the cutscenes.
At the same time, I also feel the heritage of Yingtian Academy, which comes from the inheritance of history.
It may not be many years since the establishment of this college, but they have inherited the culture precipitated in history, which gives them a sense of heaviness that other colleges do not have.
At this time, one of the emcees in the venue sang, "When the auspicious time comes, the ceremony begins."
With the sound of the master of ceremonies, the tedious but solemn ceremony began.
First, the dean of Yingtian Academy offered incense to the heavens and the earth, then the graduates went down to the pool to wash the sword, and finally the graduates who washed the dust danced the sword collectively.
For a while, the sword light in the stalactite cave shimmered, and the sword aura was cold.
"The Han water flows eastward, and it is all washed away, and the mustache is anointed with blood."
"Everyone says that the Jun family is a flying general, and the old martyrs are heroes."
"Breaking the enemy's golden city thundered through his ears, and he talked about the soldiers, and the jade tent was ........ cheeks."
While the students were dancing with swords, the dean of Yingtian Academy was impassionedly chanting an ancient poem.
"Sword at the waist, talk about bullets."
"Respect the wine, it can be different."
"The old people are newly embraced, and the Han Altar Festival."
"The corpse of Margari should swear by himself, and the moth eyebrows are repetitive."
"But from now on, remember Chu Loufeng, Pei Taiyue." (Note 1)
The passionate words and solemn sword dance pushed the atmosphere of the ceremony to a climax.
same
At the highest high point, the ceremony was announced.
That's it.
A morning passed.
Next, each college has a student in charge of reception, leading to a square.
Here, Yingtian College set up a banquet to entertain teachers and students from other colleges.
After Luo Yan and the others sat down, they saw the dean of Yingtian Academy smile and said.
"Today, I am very grateful to the teachers and students from five colleges and universities, including Tiannan, Yishui, Baizhan, Chang'an, and Lingchuan, for coming to our institute to participate in the 'Sword Washing Ceremony'."
"I am deeply honored, and here, on behalf of all the teachers and students of Tiannan Academy, I would like to give you a drink."
The dean drank the wine from his glass with great pride.
So Luo Yan and the others also got up one after another and saluted the dean.
After drinking this cup, the dean continued.
"Behemoths have descended, and natural disasters have frequented."
"The earth is devastated, thousands of miles of rivers and mountains, broken walls and ruins."
"We're going to live in the dungeon for a breath."
"But my generation of cultivators, how can they learn from the ants that steal life."
"Once you have entered the path of cultivation, you should shoulder the heavy responsibility, and it is the responsibility of the teachers and students of our institute to shirk it."
"Swear the Shroud of Horse Leather to drive out the beast and take it back to its homeland."
"Heaven and earth are witnesses of this oath."
"If anyone violates, he will be destroyed on the same day!"
Let's talk about it.
The Dean had another drink.
And slam the glass to the ground with all the force.
The cup was shattered.
Then the graduates of the academy stood up and sang in unison.
"Swear the Horse Leather Shroud and expel the Behemoth."
"Heaven and earth are witnesses of this oath."
"If anyone violates, he will be destroyed on the same day!"
Then one by one, the wine glasses shattered at the same time, without a trace of hesitation.
The students of the other colleges were all very excited when they saw it, and they couldn't wait to make this strong oath like the students of Yingtian.
Luo Yan also felt it in his heart.
One side of the water and soil to support the other side.
The city of Aoki is a city where the people are still martial arts, and even the teachers and students of an academy are so strong.
It's really respectable.
Then the dean had another drink, and then went to his seat and sat down.
Immediately after that, the director of the teaching office of Yingtian Academy walked out.
Said with a smile.
"This year, it's rare for the six academies to come together."
"Therefore, our institute plans to hold a 'Six Houses of Swords'."
"Participation is voluntary."
"On your table, in every position, there is a jade slip."
"There's your names on it."
"If you're willing to participate in the 'sword debate,' you can throw it into the box next to the table later."
"Later, there will be a special person to collect it, and count the number of participants, and then announce the specific process of 'Discussion of the Sword'."
"In order to encourage everyone, we should come up with some small rewards, hoping to inspire everyone to move forward."
"Not only do we want to march bravely in the sword, but I also hope that everyone can bravely fight against the giant beasts in the future and regain the home that originally belonged to us."
"Here, I'll tell you a little bit about the prize."
"The prizes of this 'Six Academies Sword Discussion' include, but are not limited to, the Xuanjing Realm Exercises, the Superior Peerless Technique, the Secret Method, the Primal Stone Fragments, and the Divine Soldier-level Equipment.......
The director of teaching said more than a dozen prizes, each of which was incomparably precious, enough to make people fight for it.
At the same time, I have to sigh that Yingtian Academy is really rich and wealthy.
These prizes are not inferior to those of the big games.
Note 1: 'Han River flows eastward"
; The word, originally known as "Manjianghong, Han Water Flows Eastward", the author's 'Xin Qiji, this is a poem written to a friend who is about to be promoted.
It is to the effect that the Han water is surging and flowing eastward; It washed away the bearded enemies whose mouths were stained with the blood of the people. Back then, your family's flying general bravely fought the enemy majestically. Now you're engaged in the life of a horseman. Inheriting the business of his ancestors. The Shroud of Horse Leather should be taken as one's oath, and it is most honorable to sacrifice one's life for one's country in order to destroy the enemy.
Since this poem has elements such as "battle on the battlefield", "inheritance of ancestors", and "expulsion of the enemy", it is excerpted in this chapter to express Dean Yingtian's expectations for the graduating students, and it is hereby explained.
