Chapter 1 Adult Ceremony
Luoshui starts from Tianzhu Mountain in the west and flows into the East China Sea to the east, running through the entire Xuanxuan continent.
The Luojia Mountains are located on the eastern north coast of Luoshui. The mountains are steep and stretch for thousands of miles.
Xiaoliang Mountain is a low peak outside the Luojia Mountains.
On Xiaoliang Mountain, a robber camp is located. On both sides of the gate of the camp, several black flags are fluttering in the wind, and the two big blood-red characters on the flag - Liangshan. Although the big characters are not famous handwriting, they can also show a faint power and domineering, as well as a trace of blood, showing the spirit of a reckless hero.
Liang Tiger, the leader of Liangshan bandits, is skilled in martial arts, strong and has a long breath. He is the best man among Liangshan bandits and is also very bold and righteous. Therefore, Liangshan bandits also adhere to this point and never embarrass the poor people, not only that, but also rely on righteousness and wealth. Therefore, Liangshan bandits are known as chivalrous thieves in this area.
Liang Tiger and his two sworn brothers, Chen Chong, the second brother, and Song, jointly controlled Liang Shan. They have operated together for 15 years, and the number of them has increased to more than 500 people. The brothers are vigorous, the food is sufficient, and the horses are strong. The most important thing is that the relationship between the brothers is very deep, and they are like brothers. After repelling several encirclement and suppressing Luoshui Kingdom, Liangshan's momentum also reached its peak.
..............................
Early in the morning, in the martial arts arena in the middle of Liangshan, except for dozens of brothers on duty, they gathered here, and the scene was extremely chaotic.
"Bad boy, come up quickly." A rough male voice suppressed the chaos of the scene and clearly transmitted it to everyone's ears, which also calmed everyone down. The shouting man is about 30 years old, tall, with a big waist, a dark face, and a thick beard like a steel needle. This person is the Liang tiger who is the leader.
In the midst of everyone's waiting, six fourteen or fifteen-year-olds walked in front of the crowd and stood in a line.
"Children, from this moment on, you are 15 years old. Today is your coming-of-age ceremony, and you will go hunting in the mountains soon. I'll give you a two-day deadline. Within two days, you have to get me a prey to come down. After shouting, Tiger Liang stopped and took a look and stood in the middle. A thin boy in sackcloth, with a animal skin around his waist, holding a knife on his back that was quite disproportionate with his figure and 20 to 30 pounds in his back, and shouted rudely, "Although there is no rule on what animal to hunt at the coming-age ceremony, if you give I Liangshan was ashamed. I only brought a rabbit and a tit back. Don't blame me for breaking his leg. If anyone can hunt a tiger like me, and when my tiger Liang is old, I will pass on the position of this big boss to him.
After hearing this, the six teenagers all showed an excited look, but they were just happy for a moment, and then remembered the way the tiger opened its mouth and chose people to eat it. After all, they were just 15-year-old children.
In Luoshui, children from martial arts families become adults at the age of 15. When their child is born, the mother will personally brew a jar of grain and wine. There is a name called raw grain and wine. When the child is 15 years old, the parents and children drink a glass together, indicating that the child will not have to worry about eating and drinking for the rest of his life. Then the child must go to the mountains to hunt a beast alone, and the prey that the child hunts is more fierce. It proves that the stronger the child's ability is. Of course, if a 15-year-old child is allowed to enter the deep mountains by himself, every parent is worried and will still let a master follow him. One is to protect, and the other is to witness the child's hunting process. Of course, the bodyguard cannot be a relative, so as not to overly spoil him. When he sees the child is hurt a little, he will take action early.
Although the teenager who was concerned by Liang Tiger was thin and weak, he did not look like other children after hunting tigers. Instead, he rose to be excited.
Liang Tiger laughed happily and walked to their children with a hand like a dustpan. The six women each came to their children with a small bowl of fresh and fragrant raw grain and wine.
One of them is quite weak and looks like a young woman in her twenties. Although she is also dressed simply, she is dignified, elegant, with fine lotus steps, and has the appearance of a daughter of an eunuch family. This woman is the woman who is in charge of Liang Tiger. Her name is Liu Qinghan. She was originally the daughter of the official eunuch's family, but she was robbed into the mountains by Liang Tiger 15 years ago and became the wife of the village. At first, Liu Qinghan was still depressed and even had the idea of suicide, but soon after, he became pregnant. After giving birth to a child, he also gave up the idea of suicide. The husband and wife also became affectionate because of the child. Liu Qinghan loved Liang Chen twice as much, which was simply doting.
The child of the two is the thin young man. Liu Qinghan has been unhappy before giving birth to this child, and it is also difficult to give birth when giving birth to a child, so after giving birth to the child, he can no longer have children. Fortunately, the two got a man, and when the child was born, there was a jewel in his mouth, which seemed to contain countless stars, so the two named the child Liang Chen and regarded Liang Chen as a treasure. This is also a strange thing. Everyone thinks that Liang Chen will become a great weapon in the future, not a thing in the pool. Therefore, all the heroes in the cottage have a special love for Liang Chen and regard him as their own.
Liu Qinghan came to Liang Chen and handed over the wine. Then he stared at Liang Tiger angrily, then attached himself to the teenager's ear and whispered, "Chen'er, don't listen to your father. You just need to go up the mountain and beat a mountain monkey and wild boar down." After the instructions, the woman's delicate and white palms gently stroked the short black hair on the child's head, full of love and pity.
"Mother, don't worry, I got the true biography of my father. Which of the younger generation is my opponent? Even those uncles are not afraid." The child looked up and looked at his mother with an arrogant look.
"Listen to your mother, don't be strong. It's too dangerous to hunt tigers. Listen, you can hunt some boars back, but it's not a shame to hunt boars. Don't worry, your father won't do anything to you with your mother.
"Mom, I know what to do, don't worry! Also, don't forget that I'm not an ordinary child. God is destined to be rich and noble. The child grinned, then picked up a jewel hanging around his neck and shook it. The pearl is the size of a pearl, as crystal clear as crystal, and there are countless silver stars shining in it, like a starry sky at night.
"This child!" Liu Qinghan comforted himself when he saw the child. He knew that his son was sensible and filial and couldn't bear to worry about himself. Seeing that the child was so sensible, Liu Qinghan couldn't help but be more pitiful. He gently patted Liang Chen's head with his hand and did not speak, but from that look, he could still see a strong worry.
After a while, the mother of the six children finished the instructions and returned to their husbands. The six pairs of parents also filled a large bowl of raw grain and wine, and then poured the remaining raw grain and wine on the ground to sacrifice to heaven and earth. Tiger Liang also came to Liu Qinghan, picked up a bowl of raw grain and wine, and said again, "After drinking this bowl of raw grain and wine, you will immediately enter the deep mountains. We are waiting for your good news here."
After Liang Hu finished speaking, several parents picked up the wine bowl, raised their necks, cooed a few times, and drank cleanly. The six children also learned from their parents, picked up the wine bowl and drank. As soon as the wine suddenly entered his throat, Liang Chen suddenly felt that his chest seemed to be burning, but in a short time, the uncomfortable feeling recedes, and his chest was particularly warm and indescribably comfortable. In addition, today is Liang Chen's coming-of-age ceremony, and a dark face is red.
"Let's go!" After drinking raw food and wine, Liang Hu gave an order, and the six children walked proudly towards the Luojia Mountains.
