Chapter 22: Rite of Passage
Ganjiazhai is completely boiling, hanging auspicious things everywhere, everyone's face is full of smiles, many delicious and delicious drinks, have moved out of the storage room, a large number of dry firewood, in the square in front of the hill, piled up into a huge mountain of firewood.
The coming-of-age ceremony, Ganjiazhai is held once a year, it can be said to be the most important day of Ganjiazhai, the first is to pray for the ancient heroes of Ganjiazhai, bless Ganjiazhai to continue to be smooth, and the second is to hold a coming-of-age ceremony for the woman who has reached the age of 16 in the village.
This time, there are a total of twelve girls in Ganjiazhai, including Ganjiao, after this ceremony, they will really have the right to change from girls to women, and on the night of the coming-of-age ceremony, these girls will choose their favorite warriors and completely change themselves.
On the hill, on the fourth floor, there was a rather noble cave, and in the cave window, there were two people at this time, with four eyes looking at the busy people in the square under the mountain, their faces were heavy, and after a long time, one of them finally spoke:
"Feng Tian, are you sure there is really nothing wrong with it? Gan Yuelian, that slut, stayed in Chenluo's kid cave for a long time a few days ago."
"No problem, master, we don't care what they say, at most it's just to study how to deal with us, but strength is strength, that Gan Yuelian is not my opponent, and that kid in Chenluo is even more impossible. ”
"Don't be careless, that kid slaughtered the first-level demon beast Blue Wolf King alone after all. ”
"Hmph! I said a long time ago, it's just his trick, it's not worth making a fuss, I've fought with him, but that's it, what's more, that kid is not stupid, he will get involved in Gan Yuelian's slut before he finishes, otherwise, he won't stay in the cave honestly these days, and there will be no movement at all!"
"Having said that, but the old man has been planning for so many years, and he should be careful, Feng Tian, you are the hope of our Ganjiazhai in the future, hum, it's ridiculous that Gan Yuelian slut, what kind of ancestral teachings and traditions keep talking, so that our Ganjiazhai has been self-contained, and even reduced to the point of being called a beast by outsiders. ”
"Master, don't worry, the disciple will wish you to fulfill your wish. ”
"Alas, as a teacher, you can only do this, and you will have to rely on you in the future, after all, you are still young......"
The old man's words grew softer and softer, until no more sound sounded.
Everything is ready, the coming-of-age ceremony was finally held as scheduled, the time was in the evening, all the people in Ganjiazhai surrounded the huge Chai Mountain, at this time the Chai Mountain had been lit, as if the torch was rushing to the sky.
On the innermost side were the patriarch Gan Yuelian and the elder Gan Batian, and next to them were the twelve maidens who were going to have a coming-of-age ceremony today, and these girls were obviously also carefully prepared, with unknown patterns painted with oil paint on their bodies, and strange hair ornaments on their heads.
On the periphery, there are all the warriors of Ganjiazhai, all of whom are in high spirits, their eyes full of expectations, and they all hope that the most beautiful person can choose themselves.
Chenluo was standing in the middle of the outermost people, those warriors didn't know if they had intention, they actually isolated him one after another, Chenluo didn't care, just looked at the innermost with great interest, it was the first time he had seen this ancient ritual.
At the beginning of the ceremony, the patriarch Gan Yuelian and the elder Gan Batian spoke before and after, in Chenluo's view, these are just some passing words, nothing more than praying for the blessing of the ancestors and inspiring this generation of Ganjiazhai people to work hard.
Then, Gan Yuelian and Gan Batian, as well as some obviously selected qualified people in Ganjiazhai, stepped forward to hold a coming-of-age ceremony for the twelve girls.
This process lasted for more than an hour, Ganjiazhai people worshiped and worshipped, although Chenluo did not worship, but in order not to appear to stand out from the crowd, it was too eye-catching, and had to squat on the ground.
Just when Chenluo was uncomfortable, this process was finally over, and Chenluo knew that the main event should come, but he saw that Gan Yuelian suddenly waved her hand and signaled everyone to be quiet.
"All the people of Ganjiazhai, on this important day, we not only held a coming-of-age ceremony for our best girls, but I also want to announce a more important good news, which has never been good news for our people in the past hundred years. ”
When Gan Yuelian said this, she saw that everyone was looking at her intently, and then she was satisfied with her eyes falling on Chenluo's body.
"It's coming!" Seeing this, Chenluo naturally knew what was going on in his heart, and immediately prepared and was ready to step forward at any time.
"My daughter Gan Jiao, that is, the princess of our Gan family's generation, almost died a few days ago in the mouth of the first-class demon beast green wolf king, fortunately, there are Chenluo warriors who came to the rescue and killed the wolf king, here, I announce that this warrior will join our Ganjiazhai and become an honorary member of our Ganjiazhai. ”
As soon as Gan Yuelian's voice fell, everyone in Ganjiazhai was stunned, most of them only knew that an outsider had come, but under the arrangement of someone with a heart, most people still didn't know the origin of Chenluo.
Outsiders join Ganjiazhai and are still warriors, which does not violate the ancestral teachings, so after being stunned, they applauded, after all, the Gan family worships warriors from the bones.
In the eyes of everyone's worship, Chenluo was like a little daughter-in-law who got on the sedan chair for the first time, and walked to the center of the square with some twisting, Chenluo was not afraid, the key was that the people who were almost naked at the second or third hundred looked at themselves at the same time, and it was really not something that ordinary people could withstand.
"Warrior Chenluo, from today onwards, you will become a member of my Gan clan, are you willing?" Gan Yuelian forced a smile and looked at the twisted Chenluo and said.
"I do!" Chenluo was like a fool at this moment.
"Okay, put on the Warrior Crown, and you will truly become a member of the Gan clan!"
Gan Yuelian said, and from the hand of a person next to her, she took a black hat that was a foot high and made of unknown materials, and buckled it on Chenluo's head.
At this moment, Gan Batian also tried his best to calm his anger, tried his best to make his appearance very peaceful, stepped forward, held a cloak made of beast skin, dark red, and personally tied it to Chenluo.
"Take my cloak, your ancestors will bless you, Chenluo, from now on, are you willing to do your best for my Gan clan?"
Gan Batian was not happy in his heart, he couldn't wait to pick Gan Yuelian's skin, he didn't know about receiving Chenluo as a clansman until just now, he didn't expect Gan Yuelian to come to this hand, and then it was clear that Gan Jiao chose Chenluo as his warrior, so that Chenluo could take over the position of the elder of Ganjiazhai.
"I do!"
As everyone knows, although Chen Luo agreed, he was not happy with Gan Batian in his heart, grandma, in order to join the immortal cultivation faction, he had to agree to Gan Yuelian, and did according to Gan Yuelian's previous instructions to stay in the jade slip.
"In the end, if you can't let me join the Immortal Cultivation Sect smoothly, Lao Tzu will have to give you a mother-daughter cultivator and clean you up!" Chen Luo thought viciously in his heart.
Gan Fengtian in the distance, his eyes were about to breathe fire, Chenluo became a member of Ganjiazhai, and Gan Jiao chose Chenluo later, and he had no reason to stop it at all.
"Hehe, I hope you'll still be alive in a while!" Gan Fengtian squeezed the big gun in his hand fiercely.
