Chapter 85: Jian Jiu's Departure and the Ceremony of Coming of Age

The huge lake suddenly boiled, and suddenly a man emerged from the bottom of the lake.

Hold the knife with both hands and roar to the sky, it rotates at 360 degrees with built-in dehydration and drying.

The man was suppressed at the bottom of the lake for more than 20 years. Now he finally sees the light of day again after being rescued by Xu Fengnian. His name is Lao Kui.

But after Lao Kui came out, he was no longer in a good mood towards Xu Fengnian.

"Get out of here, don't seek death!"

"I saved you!"

"So you're still alive now!"

Xu Fengnian was so angry at Lao Kui's betrayal that he lost his voice on the spot. At this time, Lao Kui only wanted to seek revenge on Li Yishan and wash away the shame of the suppression that year.

But Li Yishan ignored him and just threw a chess piece. This move was not very harmful but very insulting.

Lao Kui looked up and saw his former enemy, he clenched his swords tightly and was ready to fight.

"Li Yishan, I'm glad you're alive, otherwise I don't know who to turn to for revenge!"

As he said that, he rushed towards Li Yishan.

At this time, Lao Huang walked slowly towards them holding a sword box. He looked at Li Yishan and his aura suddenly changed. He stretched out his hand and the sword box was opened, revealing five famous swords inserted in it.

As Lao Huang made sword gestures in his hand, the long sword soared into the sky and knocked Lao Kui down from mid-air.

Xu Fengnian's jaw dropped on the spot.

He was unable to see Lao Huang's demeanor when he was injured that day, so he was really surprised to see him today.

Staring blankly at Old Huang flying into the air, he once wondered if he had disturbed the lair of a martial arts master.

Is this still the old Huang who is bad at everything and always ranked first in running away?
"Jian Jiuhuang, it turns out you are still here!" Lao Kui said.

"Hmm."

"Okay, Grandpa, I will break the Nine Swords and avenge my past!"

Old Huang didn't waste time talking to him and directly controlled the sword with his Qi.

The first sword, one sword clears the dust and makes dragons and snakes run away, the second sword, two yin and yang give birth to twin lotuses, forcing Lao Kui to retreat step by step.

With just two strikes of the sword, Lao Kui was forced to retreat step by step. Xu Fengnian and his friends were stunned.

Two swords are so powerful, if all nine swords were used, they would be even more awesome.

"It was me who pushed you to the bottom of the lake back then, and the outcome is the same today." Jian Jiuhuang said confidently.

Sword three, the sword's energy weighs three pounds, and after smashing the flying stone tower, the remaining force did not decrease. The three swords went straight to Lao Kui, making it impossible for him to escape in an instant.

"Old...Old Huang, your martial arts skills are so high!" Xu Fengnian was so surprised that he could not express it in words.

Until dinner time, Xu Fengnian was still stunned and his jaw was still open. It was not until Lao Huang said he was leaving that Xu Fengnian came to his senses.

"Are you going?"

"Let's talk about it later."

At night, Lao Huang told his past stories.

It turns out that Lao Huang was originally an unknown swordsmith, but later he realized the way of the sword and practiced it to perfection. He traveled around the world to collect famous swords, and finally collected six of the ten famous swords. At that time, Lao Huang was very arrogant, so he climbed up to the Wudi City to challenge the number one martial artist Wang Xianzhi, but he was defeated in the end and was forced to leave the famous sword Huang Lu on the city wall.

Because he was afraid of facing failure, Lao Huang hid for thirty years. However, during the three years of traveling with Xu Fengnian, he found that although Xu Fengnian did not know martial arts, he was never afraid and never retreated when facing a crisis. After three years, Lao Huang understood.

"How should I put it? I suddenly feel like I'm not afraid of anything anymore. I can finally face the Wudi City that has been weighing on my chest for thirty years."

Xu Fengnian did not stop Lao Huang, but only made one request, which was to come back alive.

Old Huang readily agreed, but suddenly thought of something. Although he was known as the Nine Yellow Swords, he only had eight swords. It was not until he had traveled for three years that he figured out the ninth sword, so he asked Xu Fengnian to give it a name.

"How much distance have we traveled in the past three years?"

"It's probably about six thousand miles round trip."

"Then it's called Six Thousand Miles."

Lao Huang liked it very much. He said, "Yellow wine and a bad horse can travel six thousand miles. I come and go as I please."

Before leaving, Lao Huang once again persuaded Xu Fengnian to learn martial arts, but the other party still refused. Lao Huang said no more, but became more determined in his decision.

A master, a servant and a horse followed each other, just like the scene of his first trip, but this time, Lao Huang was traveling alone.

Holding down Xu Fengnian, Lao Huang signaled him not to see him off. He led the horse alone, waved to Xu Fengnian, and disappeared from sight.

Next, Xu Fengnian will have his coming-of-age ceremony, which means that the balance of Beiliang will be broken and his life as a playboy will come to an end.

This is Xu Fengnian’s coming-of-age ceremony.

His father Xu Xiao had waited for more than ten years and finally waited for this moment.

"Take off the crown and change clothes."

Jiang Ni took off Xu Fengnian's outer shirt and changed him into a black primary suit. Xu Xiao took the Zibu crown and gave it to Xu Fengnian as his first crown.

"Everyone in the capital is eyeing your victory."

This championship meant that from now on, Xu Fengnian was qualified to participate in politics and could shoulder social responsibilities.

The second crown, this crown means that from now on Xu Fengnian can enter the military camp and lead troops to protect the country.

"The 350,000 cavalrymen of Beiliang are all waiting for this crown."

This was followed by the third crown, but this time he broke the old rules and did not use the traditional ceremonial crown.

"This crown is neither in accordance with etiquette nor has any allusion. It can be said that it is nothing. No one in heaven or on earth will care about it, except your mother, because she sewed it for you personally. It is good to be an official, a noble, and command thousands of troops, but nothing can be better than this."

Xu Fengnian held the crown, as if he felt his mother's care.

Xu Fengnian knocked heavily on his mother's grave, and the ceremony ended.

The coming-of-age ceremony has been in use since the Zhou Dynasty. It has experienced several ups and downs and was close to extinction at its lowest point. As one of the carriers of the Chinese humanistic spirit, for Xu Fengnian, coming of age means a choice.

Xu Xiao wanted him to accept Beiliang, but he had never agreed. Some officers and military officers in the army were secretly instigated by the royal family and wanted to support Huang Man'er as the new king. In addition to the reason of his natural supernatural powers, it was more because Huang Man'er was mentally immature and easier to control.

In order to avoid civil strife in Beiliang, Xu Xiao suggested that Xu Fengnian kill these people to establish his prestige in the army, but Xu Fengnian did not want to kill anyone, so Xu Xiao chose the second way for Xu Fengnian and sent Huang Maner to Wudang Mountain early.

"I will reshape his bones and make him a mortal. This way, you don't have to kill anyone, your brother can stay in the palace forever, and those people won't use him to disrupt our Beiliang."

According to Xu Xiao, there is a martial art on Wudang Mountain called Dahuangting that can reshape the bones.

Xu Fengnian immediately found Ye Qi, hoping that Ye Qi could accompany him to Wudang Mountain to pick up his brother. As for Lao Kui, Xu Fengnian didn't think much of him at all.

Ye Qi accepted it with pleasure, as he also wanted to visit Wudang Mountain.

On Mount Wudang, there is Hong Xixiang holding the Maiba Crane. His real identity is the reincarnation of Lu Zu. He practices the supreme heavenly way and can become the best in the world without practicing martial arts.

As the protagonist Xu Fengnian, although he has many cheats, he has also practiced seriously for a long time.

Hong Xixiang only needs to herd cattle and meditate every day. Once he remembers the big password, he will become the best in the world.

How exaggerated is Hong Xixiang's fighting power? With just one thought, Yuan Tingshan fell to the ground with blood flowing from all seven orifices; with a casual sword, he almost demolished Longhu Mountain; nine fortune lotuses withered and died. In the later period, he appeared as a celestial being to help his brother-in-law Xu Fengnian kill the immortal.

Just like a player with godly equipment brutally bullying a third-party low-level player, Hong Xixiang is definitely the best cheater in The Snowy Blade.
