The Zeng clan performed martial arts, and the martial arts arena was a place that would only be used to hold some major events in the clan. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

The martial arts arena was crowded with people, and everyone was discussing something. After a while, the head of the family, Zeng Zhaolin, walked onto the rostrum, he raised his hands and pressed down, and then cleared his throat: "Hmm, everyone be quiet first, today is a special day, the four young generations of our Zeng clan are officially adults." They are..."

"Zeng Xianhong" was called with the name, Zeng Bufan walked forward to the center of the martial arts arena, and then stood in a very stinky posture.

"Behold, the young patriarch is so handsome!" there was some chatter all around.

"yes, yes, if only I could marry him. "Obviously, this is a female fan.

......

"Hmph, what's there to be angry about, it's just a coming-of-age ceremony, who doesn't have it. "Well, this is a villain...

Although there was a lot of discussion around, this did not affect Zeng Zhaolin to continue to speak.

"Zeng Xianfu" Then a little fat walked out of the crowd and greeted everyone warmly.

"Zeng Xianqi" A somewhat thin teenager walked out, his steps were very steady, and he slowly walked to the center step by step.

"Zeng Xiantian" came out this time with a very strong muscular man, giving people a very powerful feeling.

Zeng Bufan looked at the other three brothers who came over, and he had already complained countless times about the names of the four of them; "Grandpa, this pit?" That's right, these four people are actually uncles and brothers, and they have the same grandfather, that is, Zeng Guangqing, the head of the Taishang family, so when the four of them were born on the same day, the Taishang family head was smiling and shouting "Hongfu Qitian", so the names of these four people came out. Since their generation is a constitutional generation, the names of their genealogies when they become adults are thus decided.

As for Zeng Bufan, who is also called Zeng Bufan, it is mainly obtained by his cheap father, so now he can be said to have two names. Putting this matter aside for the time being, it was said that Zeng Zhaolin named the four people. Then he began to make some very official speeches, and the four of them listened to it tastelessly on the stage, and Zeng Zhaolin was also very bored on the rostrum, so this item ended soon.

Then came the highlight of the coming-of-age ceremony.

"Everyone, my Zeng clan was named a protector by the emperor, what did it rely on?" Zeng Zhaolin said this, his eyes swept over the clansmen below. "We rely on the strength of each clan, rely on the unity of the people's hearts, the ancestors of the Zeng clan followed the emperor to lay down this country, made great contributions, and saved the ancestors many times and in trouble. Therefore, the first emperor enshrined the ancestor as the protector of the country, and gave the Zeng family as the protector of the country, so as to keep the peace of the royal family forever. Although the world is peaceful now, we must not relax as a protector of the country, as the old saying goes: 'Born in sorrow and died in peace'. Therefore, all of us in the Zeng clan must be motivated, strive to make ourselves stronger, and contribute to the defense of the royal family. ”

Therefore, every clansman needs to go outside to experience when he becomes an adult, get rid of the identity of the Zeng clan, and only make his own name in the rivers and lakes as an ordinary person. Within one year, there may be a variety of unexpected situations during the experience, learn to deal with these situations, and accelerate growth. ”

Zeng Zhaolin paused appropriately, and then looked at the four people in the martial arts arena: "Zeng Xianhong, Zeng Xianfu, Zeng Xianqi, Zeng Xiantian." ”

"Yes. Zeng Bufan and others responded.

"From this day onwards, you are adults. Zeng Zhaolin's voice was strong and powerful, "The family has raised you for sixteen years, and it's time to repay the family with your actions." After today, you will be sent to various places on the rivers and lakes to begin your year-long experience. I won't say anything more, the rivers and lakes are huge, you can feel it for yourself. Remember, you are good sons of the Zeng clan. Although you are not allowed to use your family name for the next year, you still represent the Zeng family. Your words and deeds, and the influence in the rivers and lakes all represent the Zeng family. So work hard, today you are proud of your family, and I hope that your family will be proud of you in the future. ”

"Alright, enjoy today's feast. After Zeng Zhaolin finished speaking, all the clansmen applauded warmly.

Happy times always go by quickly. In the blink of an eye, the night was deep, Zeng Bufan opened the window, and a bright moon in the dark night sky was as bright as a jade plate. Zeng Bufan looked up at the bright moon, but his mind no longer knew where to fly.

"Xiao Hongyun, it is not from the Xiao family in Chijing City, I rely on it, why do I think of her. Zeng Bufan shook his head, the corners of his mouth raised slightly, "But this little girl, hehe" Thinking about it, he couldn't help laughing.

"Anyway, the last time I said I would eat roast rabbit together, I didn't see her later, and I saw that I was going to leave tomorrow, and I don't know when we can meet again. Zeng Bufan touched his chin, "Forget it, I don't want to, there is a way to meet thousands of miles away, mmmm." ”

"Hey"

"Ah," the sudden voice was startled, Zeng Bufan came back to his senses, and saw a handsome young man, standing in front of him. Zeng Bufan patted his chest, "I'm scared to death baby, who are you." ”

The handsome young man shook the folding fan in his hand lightly, and said with a smile: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm still here to visit Your Excellency so late, under Xiao Hongfei." ”

"Aha, Xiao Hongfei, you are Xiao Hongyun's brother, you came just in time, come and come, accompany me through two moves. With that, he jumped out of the window.

"Eh," Xiao Hongfei was about to say something, Zeng Bufan had already made a move.

Seeing Zeng Bufan's sword finger pointed, Xiao Hongfei had to make a move, as soon as the folding fan was collected, it was about to hit Zeng Bufan's sword finger, Zeng Bufan saw this and hurriedly withdrew his sword finger, dodged Xiao Hongfei's fan blow, and exerted force with his right leg, a high kick.

Xiao Hongfei raised his left hand to block Zeng Bufan's high kick, and at the same time, the folding fan of his right hand was already pointed at Zeng Bufan's chest. Zeng Bufan saw the other party attacking, hooked Xiao Hongfei's left hand with his right foot, borrowed the force to volley, and a flying knee of his left leg collided with Xiao Hongfei's folding fan.

"Bang" A powerful force separated the two, and Zeng Bufan took advantage of the momentum to fly back. And Xiao Hongfei was also shocked and jumped backwards.

The two fought for a short time, but it stopped again. Both of them sighed in their hearts that their opponent's kung fu was very good.

"The kung fu is good, okay, you can say it. It's so late, what's the matter" Zeng Bufan patted his sleeve and looked at Xiao Hongfeidao.

"Huh~" Xiao Hongfei folded his fan and shook it a few times, then said: "Your Excellency's kung fu is also very good." By the way, in fact, the purpose of coming to you today has been achieved, that is, I want to have two tricks with you. ”

"Shrimp, it's over, are you idle eggs, damn it, you came here to try me. Zeng Bufan was a little speechless.

"Haha, Your Excellency is really funny, and this is the end of today's visit, and I have taken my leave. As he spoke, he turned around and was about to leave.

"Eh, wait a minute, you're fine, but I still have something to ask you. Zeng Bufan beckoned.

"Oh, I don't know what happened to Your Excellency. Xiao Hongfei stopped and turned around and asked.

"Inside...... The inner ...... "Zeng Bufan's painting style suddenly changed, and he became a little timid. 、

"......" Xiao Hongfei was full of black lines, "Since Your Excellency has nothing to do, I will leave first." ”

"Wait, actually... In fact... I just wanted to ask your sister... Your sister..."Zeng Bufan stammered.

"Your Excellency, needless to say, I understand below, my sister has been at home all the time, and you can't see her. Xiao Hongfei's voice was a little low.

"Why, where is your house? I'll go to your house to look for her. Zeng Bufan said anxiously.

"Hahaha..."Xiao Hongfei laughed, "You are still too weak now, it is impossible to see my sister with your current martial arts." You will understand this truth when you reach the top. ”

"Is your family the Xiao family in Chijing City? Zeng Bufan asked.

"Hehe..." Xiao Hongfei just smiled and didn't speak. Then he arched his hand and walked straight away, and disappeared in a short time.

Zeng Bufan scratched his head and muttered to himself: "What's the situation, it's so mysterious, and it mentions the top of the world like a cheap dad." After thinking for a while, Zeng Bufan shook his head, "Well, I don't want to, there must be a road before the car reaches the mountain." Uh-huh. ”

Soon after, the night was dark, Zeng Bufan finished his meditation exercises, lay down and fell asleep.

Early the next morning, Zeng Bufan began to pack his package. I have been in the family for 16 years, and I have basically not gone out much. It can be said that this is the first time to leave home and go far away, Zeng Bufan has a trace of nervousness and excitement in his heart. A child who has never been far away in his life is about to see a bigger strange world. A little apprehensive, a little delighted.

At the time of parting, Zeng Zhaolin and Han Ling both came to say goodbye, in fact, with Zeng Bufan's identity as the young patriarch and his arrogant personality, there are not many relatives in this huge family. So the farewell team is not very large, but the atmosphere of relying on others is extremely sad.

"Xiaofan, you should pay attention to safety when you are outside, the rivers and lakes are sinister, don't trust others easily. Pay attention to dressing outside, don't warm yourself, and don't be cold to ......" Han Ling took the trouble to explain, although Zeng Bufan was a little speechless, but he was still very moved, in the family, only uncles and aunts were the best for him.

"Okay, okay, Xiaofan has also grown up, he understands this. Zeng Zhaolin interrupted Han Ling's nagging, and then explained to Zeng Bufan, "Stinky boy, train yourself well, just remember a little, if you don't ask right or wrong in advance, just be worthy of your heart." Zeng Zhaolin patted Zeng Bufan's shoulder, "It's time to hit the road, it's too late to get to the next post station today." Go ahead and take care all the way. ”

Zeng Bufan was also a little uncomfortable at this time, but he still said with a smile: "Dad, mother, the child is going, you have to take care of your health, I'm leaving." ”

Zeng Bufan turned back step by step and kept waving his hands. Since ancient times, there has been a lot of affection and parting, and it is always love to say goodbye.

When he got into the carriage, the groom flicked his whip, "drive", "hiss~~" The horse barked, and began to run forward.

Zeng Bu's journey to the rivers and lakes began.
