Chapter 228 Adult Ceremony
For the coming-of-age ceremony, Xu Dong saw a lot in books in his previous life. For example, in ancient China, there were men's crown rites and women's rites. In ethnic minorities, there were also Naxi women/men's skirts/pants changing gifts, Tibetan women's wearing bazhu rites, Pumi teenagers wearing skirts/pants gifts, and Kino also had Travel festival.
In some foreign regions, some adult rites have continued until modern times, such as Israeli ordained rituals, such as the wrestling and stone-sitting rituals of Kabuli boys and girls in Togo, western Africa. Of course, there is also the power of file teeth, which is to file the front teeth into fangs, which means that the teenager of the tribe can fight with beasts; the same thing is the broken teeth. Some bloody ones also have circumcision, lizard swallowing ceremony and even cliff jumping ceremony...
The so-called coming-of-age ceremony, to put it bluntly, means that a child can fulfill and assume the obligations and responsibilities entrusted by society or family. As a king, Chen Guang's coming-of-age ceremony has a greater significance. Blood Helmet City, a border city, is not qualified to hold his coming-of-age ceremony, but there is a saying called special affairs. Therefore, although the scale is not up to standard, the content is not vague at all.
First of all, the city master's mansion, which was the residence of His Royal Highness, was just bright, and a gatekeeper opened it completely. The gate built by the city lord's mansion is twelve, and the number twelve is like the 95th in ancient China. The Dachen Empire has 12 marshals, 12 provinces, and 12 cities in each province.
From sunrise to dusk, the gate of the city's mansion will not be closed. The local tyrants and gentry in the city, anyway, the families of poor families or above with faces, will be invited to enter and see the elegant demeanor of His Highness Chenguang. And this is also a long-faced thing in the eyes of the invited, and can even be sung for decades.
At 7 a.m., the patrolman went out. At this time, the patrolman not only played the role of a policeman, but also had the power to expel hawkers and assist tax officials to collect taxes in the city. Under the order of the three chiefs, these patrolmen immediately brushed the route of His Royal Highness Chenguang's patrol, and then guarded three steps, one post and ten steps.
It can be seen that on this route, there is not even a chicken feather, and all the vendors along the road dare to open the door for a living, so it seems particularly wide. Because of Xu Dong's strong means before, the alien awakeners in the Blood Helmet City have been caught and escaped, which can be described as disappearing. And there are also people in this city who dare to risk the world and do extremely vicious things at this time, so it is not particularly difficult to prevent this matter.
At 7: 30, the families of the Blood Helmets City began to appear from all over the place, as if streams converged into the river. They entered the city master's mansion and waited for His Royal Highness Chen Guang to appear.
Xu Dong was also invited, but he was pushed away by him on the pretext of inspection. In fact, he did patrol back and forth on the established route of His Royal Highness Chen Guang, using his mind to detect all the suspicious things around him. At this time, the role of the heart can be seen. Within the scope of mind-eye coverage, vision, taste, smell, hearing and touch will be exerted to the extreme, or even a fly will not leak out, but at least it is clear at a glance whether there is a hidden armor.
After patrolling back and forth four or five times, the time also came to eight o'clock in the morning, and suddenly a pair of white armor came out of the city owner's mansion. The snow-white robe with a solemn look and a neat two-row of 20 people are really good-to-sell. After the 20 people lined up, the onlookers were buzzing like blind-headed flies, but suddenly they were completely quiet.
Then, the group of armors from the Mondo Hall moved uniformly, as if the angle and timing of raising their hands were as neat and consistent as the machine, slowly holding the staff at a 45-degree angle. If you extend the staff, it is not difficult to find that 20 staffs will converge into a point in mid-air.
Then the white armorers began to operate the power of flesh and blood armor, and immediately saw that even in the light of day, the surface of the staff was still shining with a strong green light. Seeing this light, everyone sincerely felt the pure and sacred meaning in it!
A head-sized light ball quickly formed under the convergence of the light emitted by the staff, then rushed straight to the sky, flew to 100 meters, and then exploded with a muffled sound, as if using the sky as paper, using the pen method rendered!
The green halo stayed for four or five seconds before it slowly dispersed, and the loud sound still went all over the city in all directions. People who come into contact within 100 meters have a feeling of spring breeze.
This ability called Jieling not only plays a role in fireworks, but also can wash the body and mind to a certain extent. Of course, it is the best way for the missionary to pretend to fool people's hearts.
Sure enough, the next second, a large number of believers crawled devoutly, shouting Mondo.
After twelve times in a row, a group of armored soldiers appeared from the city master's mansion. This is the warrior who guarded the sanctuary of the Mondo Hall. The front row is the sheepskin shield warrior, with a shield behind the long sword at his waist, with a cold and solemn expression; the latter row is the sheepskin shield technician, with a shield behind the scepter at the waist, and no face. Sad but happy.
Although this guard force is only 250 people, because of the privilege of the Mondo Hall, its upper and external equipment also have echoing lines, and its strength is no more than that of the Nuhan Camp.
Immediately after him was Chen Guang, who was dressed to the extreme. Chen Guang was obviously carefully dressed up. He was only an 18-year-old teenager, but from a distance, he seemed to be a mature man in his twenties, giving people a strong and tough image, and he was quite handsome. At this time, he turned into a hero. .
Huh?! Xu Dong was slightly stunned. Chen Guang sat on a bright convertible carriage. There was only one groom in the carriage. Accompanied by Chen Guang was only the beautiful Ma Qingfeng. In addition... There was no guard, so he sat brazenly and carelessly!
After the carriage, there is a series of gorgeous carriages, which are the Yang family, the Liang family, the Ma family and other rich families, followed by the second-line local tyrant gentry, and then the poor family...
The train team drove slowly along the established route, received the attention of the public, and finally slowly drove into the Mondo Hall, which was cleared.
At this time, a team of people quickly ran over, and the leader was Director Lei. Director Lei is still the same old and weak soldier, and his voice has always been half dead. "Xu Dong, you are immediately defending the southeast area now. Your Highness just said that the established route would be cancelled. The specific way is unknown for the time being. I can only see the tricks and walk, so thank you for your hard work.
Xu Dong could only laugh bitterly after hearing this and immediately arranged a patrol to arrange patrol officers to defend after a military salute. In his last life, Xu Dong also worked at the grassroots level. Generally speaking, superior leaders inspect places, not to mention environmental sanitation. Of course, ghost hawkers should clean up and clean up. Of course, you don't have to worry about this now. There are no blind guys who occupy the road.
And this kind of defensive deployment pays attention to a flexible response. Do a good job at the fork in the first step. Xu Dong immediately opened the prepared map and greeted the knife and four captains. Fortunately, the streets and alleys in the southeast area are not as complicated as modern ones. There are only three fork roads, and there are no alleys, so it is not very difficult.
After giving the order calmly, the patrolman immediately took action. First, he began to mobilage on the exit street of Mondo Hall and directly extended to the first fork. Assuming that after the convoy passes by, the patrol behind the convoy will immediately feel the first fork in the next stage of manpower deployment.
With Xu Dong's current prestige among the patrols, his order was naturally implemented without any obstacles.
At about 10 a.m., His Royal Highness Chenguang's motorcade officially received the ordination ceremony and then began to go around the city. As Xu Dong expected, this carriage team immediately drove slowly in the direction of the East District.
Under the excellent command of Xu Dong, His Royal Highness Chenguang's team completed the cruise in the city without any accident. Soon, the group finally left the gate. According to the information obtained by Xu Dong before, His Royal Highness Chenguang will select three villages to cruise, showing Shangfeng's care and concern for the villagers. However, it is really difficult to wonder whether Chenguang's current situation will temporarily change his mind.
After Chen Guang and his party completely left, a trace of light suddenly flashed in Xu Dong's eyes. If anyone noticed this light, he would not help shivering. If this man was still a senior old hunter, he would definitely find that the wild wolf who had been hungry for ten days and eight days in winter was penetrated through his green eyes. What is revealed is such a look!!
At this time, because the largest protected object in the city has left, both Director Lei and Director Li can't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and it is inevitable that there will be relaxation. For example, Lao Lei waved his horse whip and yawned to his home. The old man usually doesn't want to get up from the warm bed before nine o'clock in the morning. Now he has to go back to sleep.
As for Lao Li, this guy is very utilitarian. He thought that he would show his face in front of His Highness Chenguang anyway. He did not ask the other party to recognize him at a glance, but to be familiar with him, so he found an opportunity to sneak out of the city! Then he handed over all the affairs to his cronies and became a shopkeeper.
In other words, in the next hour, Xu Dong was the only leader on duty in the order shelter.
He took a deep breath, and his eyes were full of burning madness. He seemed to have made up his mind. He walked back to the shelter of order alone and sneaked into the dungeon.
