Restoring the glory of the Su family is a burden that not everyone can bear.
Fortunately, Su Ge has a system in place, so he is not completely unsure.
"Holy realm..." Su Ge's eyes were blazing. He believed that one day in the future, he would be able to reach that realm.
This is also a challenge for Su Ge.
A clear goal.
Seeing Su Ge's thoughtful look, the patriarch said: "Don't put too much pressure on yourself. The Su family has been in decline for so many years, and it doesn't happen overnight if you want to rise again. Even if you can't do it, no one will blame you.
You, after all, revitalizing the Su family is a matter for all clan members, and you cannot bear all this alone."
After a pause, the patriarch continued: "I also know that it is unrealistic to revive the glory of the Su family hundreds of years ago. In fact, as long as the Su family can give birth to a strong man in the Nirvana realm, he can return to the Great Xia.
I am content with the throne of the first family in the dynasty."
However, for such a "little" wish, successive generations of the Su family have tried hard for more than two hundred years without success.
As an ancient family that has been passed down for hundreds of years, the goal of the Su family's patriarchs is to revive the Su family's glory. However, as time goes by, the requirements of the patriarchs are getting lower and lower. Today, the contemporary patriarchs do not dare to hope to revive the Su family.
The Zhensu family was glorious.
Let alone restoring the glory of the Su family, even in this small Great Xia Dynasty, the Su family did not have much say.
"I'm not afraid of your jokes. When I first took office, I was very ambitious. I believe that with my own efforts, I will be able to realize the dream of reviving the glory of the Su family." The patriarch shook his head mockingly: "But dozens of
Years have passed, and I have found that everything is not as simple as I thought. Some things are easy to say, but are extremely difficult to do. Is it easy to revive the Su family? "
The patriarch was very ashamed. He felt that he was worse than all previous patriarchs.
Fortunately, the Su family has a Su Ge!
The seventeen-year-old is at the ninth level of the Yuan Dan Realm and is an honorary student of the Great Xia Mercenary Academy. These two auras can be recorded in the history of the Great Xia Dynasty.
"I know it's unfair to put the burden of reviving the family on you alone."
The patriarch looked at Su Ge with some guilt: "But I can't help it. The family has been in decline for too long. It has been so long that everyone has forgotten the glory and pride of the family. It has been so long that even a small Wuma family dares to visit Su Ge from time to time.
A few tramples on the family... We really need a genius who can lead the family forward, awaken the pride of the tribe, and boost the confidence of the tribe."
The clan leader did not dare to reveal the history of the Su family to his clan members because he was afraid of being targeted by the Chi family again.
But when he saw that his clansmen were content with the status quo and only had eyes for two rivals, the Wuma family and the Zhou family, he felt very sad.
Su Ge fell silent after listening to the patriarch's words. He could completely understand the patriarch's mood.
If he didn't know the secrets of the Su family, maybe he wouldn't think there was anything wrong with the Su family now. But after knowing that the Su family was once such a powerful family, and then looking at the Su family's current appearance, the contrast is indeed shocking.
People are sad.
It's not that the Su family is bad, it's just that it's not good enough.
It’s not that the tribesmen don’t work hard, it’s that they don’t work hard enough.
They are far from squeezing their ultimate potential and driving themselves to the point of going crazy.
Thinking of the patriarch's expectations and trust in him, and of the dreams of the tribesmen of past generations, Su Ge suddenly felt a heavy responsibility on his shoulders.
"Patriarch, don't worry. One day, I will lead the family to regain the throne of the first family in the Great Xia Dynasty, and even restore the glory of the family three hundred years ago." Su Ge looked at the patriarch solemnly. This was his respect for the patriarch.
commitment.
"Restore the glory of the family?"
The patriarch laughed dumbly. The young man really dared to think about this kind of thing. He didn't dare to think about it himself. However, he did not dampen Su Ge's enthusiasm because he was also so confident when he faced the previous patriarch.
The first patriarch did not laugh at him from beginning to end, but gave him encouragement. Therefore, he also encouraged Su Ge: "Okay, I believe in you, and I will work hard to survive until that day."
Without reaching the realm of Nirvana, one's lifespan will be very limited after all, and at most one can live twenty or thirty years longer than an ordinary person.
The patriarch is over eighty years old, and he doesn't know if he will be able to see the day when the Su family can regain its glory.
"It's getting late, get ready to start the adult ceremony." The patriarch looked outside the house and said to Su Ge.
Su Ge nodded and followed the clan leader outside.
As the clan leader walked away, he said: "Regarding the secrets of the Su family, remember not to tell anyone, not even to the clan members."
Although more than three hundred years have passed, the patriarch is still wary of the Chi family. He must be careful to sail the ship for thousands of years. It is best for the secrets of the Su family to rot in his stomach.
For the Chi family to destroy the current Su family, it is no more difficult than crushing an ant.
Su Ge understood the patriarch's concerns and nodded very seriously: "I understand."
…
The coming-of-age ceremony, also known as the crowning ceremony, generally has three steps: the first step is to worship at the ancestral hall and pray for the ancestors; the second step is to receive the ceremony and be crowned as an adult; the third step is to entertain guests and witness the adult.
At this time, except for a few people from the Su family who were receiving guests outside, most of the clan members had already gathered outside the ancestral hall. Elders, stewards and other important figures were all present.
Everyone stood quietly and solemnly.
The patriarch and Su Ge walked out of the ancestral hall and stood in front of everyone.
A steward stepped forward and handed a booklet to the clan leader with ritual prayers written on it.
Normally, a steward who is responsible for the coming-of-age ceremony would preside over it and read out the ritual prayers, but this time, the clan leader was prepared to preside over it himself, which made many people envious.
"In the 19,989th year of the Tianyuan Calendar, Xia Yang lurked as a dragon, and the nine tribes were in harmony. A son was born, and his virtue can be tested..."
After the patriarch finished reciting the prayer, he nodded to the steward not far away. The latter understood and immediately said to several people around him: "Start."
A few seconds later, the ritual music played, and the slightly sad, elegant and solemn music reached everyone's ears.
After the ritual music ended, several tribesmen came forward with trays filled with exquisite food, and one of them handed Su Ge three sticks of incense.
Su Ge walked into the ancestral hall under the guidance of his clan members, lit three incense sticks, and inserted them into the huge incense burner in the center of the ancestral hall.
The ceremony was very complicated and took two hours before the ancestral ceremony and adult crowning were completed.
At this time, Su Ge's hair was no longer tied randomly behind his back, but was tied into a bun, and he was wearing a delicate and small crown, which made him look calm and mature. This crown
The hat not only symbolizes his adulthood, but also symbolizes responsibility.
From the moment he put on the hat, he bid farewell to his childishness and became an adult recognized by everyone.?
