It was a sunny morning in September 4619 of the Tang Dynasty, in the Jade Square of Xiao Penglai Island. The Liu family's annual coming-of-age ceremony for young people in the family who have reached the age of sixteen will be held here soon.
This coming-of-age ceremony attracted much attention because of the two brothers Liu Fujin and Liu Fusheng. People from the Liu family on Xiao Penglai Island came here to pay homage to the two young ancestors.
The surrounding areas of the square have been carefully decorated. Colorful flags and flags rustled in the breeze, seeming to be waving cheerfully; delicate flowers surrounded the central ceremony platform, and their fragrant fragrance filled the air. The Liu family members, dressed in costumes, walked into the square in order, their eyes full of respect for the ceremony.
The two brothers Liu Fujin and Liu Fusheng appeared in the spotlight together with more than 200 other young people from the Liu family who were over 16 years old.
They are tall and straight, majestic, and their exquisite dresses make the young men even more handsome, making them the most eye-catching among their peers.
The surrounding tribesmen all looked up and stared closely at him. The children looked around curiously, their eyes full of admiration; the elders looked pleased and nodded in admiration.
And just as the coming-of-age ceremony was about to begin, Liu Changxu and Wu Xuege and the other girls were seen coming from the clouds like gods. Their figures were illuminated by the sun, and seemed to be surrounded by auspicious light. Their clothes were fluttering, and in a moment, they landed steadily on the high platform in the center of the square.
The Liu family members in the square were stunned at first, as if they were stunned by this sudden scene, and time seemed to freeze for a moment.
But they quickly came to their senses, and in an instant, the sounds of greetings came one after another like a surging wave, sweeping across the entire Jade Square in an instant.
"I'm waiting to see our ancestors!"
"I've met our ancestors!"
"Okay, children, please forgive me!"
Liu Changxu's sonorous but unyielding voice The unkind voice sounded, like a spring breeze blowing through everyone's hearts.
After saying this, he and his wives walked down the high platform and came to the square.
For this coming-of-age ceremony for their two sons, Liu Changxu and his wives all dressed up carefully, as if they were descending from immortals.
Liu Changxu was wearing a black robe. The robe was of extraordinary texture and seemed to have a faint flow of light. A nine-dragon belt inlaid with various gemstones was tied around his waist. The dragon pattern was lifelike, as if it would rise into the sky at any time, which further enhanced his stature and majesty. His every move showed the demeanor of a king and the majesty of a family elder.
Wu Xuege wore a snow-white cloak made of ice silk, with a continuous pattern of plum blossoms embroidered with silver thread. The light blue dress inside flows around her body like a gurgling stream. There is a unique jade hairpin inserted in her hair. The head of the hairpin is engraved with a phoenix fluttering about to fly. Under the reflection of the sun, it reflects the colorful light, which contrasts with her peerless appearance, making it extremely beautiful. , like a fairy descending from the moon palace, cold and noble.
Xiao Zier wore a light purple brocade dress. The rich purple complemented her gentle and graceful temperament. The fine lace carefully sewn on the cuffs and neckline adds a bit of playfulness and cuteness to her. A lavender ribbon is lightly tied around the waist, with a crystal clear teardrop-shaped gem hanging from the end of the ribbon. Her eyes were like a puddle of autumn water, with endless emotions and charm flowing between them. She was like an elf princess who strayed into the world, exuding charming charm.
Zhao Qier, Murong Yuyao, Dong Xue, Chen Yufei, Jiang Xuefeng, Yang Qingxue, Liu Qingying, Su Jinxiu, Li Zhenxin, Lian'er and other girls also show their charm. Their clothes are either gorgeous, elegant, or Graceful or fresh, each one looks like a fairy walking out of a picture scroll, gathering into a gorgeous sea of flowers in this jade square.
At this time, Liu Fujiao, the head of the Liu family, also calmly led a group of teenagers over the age of sixteen to move steadily towards the high platform of the square.
The eyes of everyone in the square, as if attracted by a magnet, were once again focused on these energetic young people who shouldered the hope of their families. Since the Liu family launched an attractive and generous policy to encourage marriage and childbearing, and provided assisted reproductive elixirs to those tribesmen who had difficulty in having children due to their advanced cultivation, the men in the family became enthusiastic and married one after another. Taking concubines and giving birth to heirs contributes to the growth of the family.
At this time, a large number of immigrants poured into Penglai Island, which provided ample choices for the men of the Liu family to marry and take concubines.
Many families and casual cultivators who had just immigrated to Penglai Island took the initiative to marry their daughters to men from the Liu family as wives and concubines in order to establish themselves firmly in this unfamiliar and fertile land.
Because they know that only by forming an in-law relationship with the Liu family, the masters of this land, can they obtain the true protection of the Liu family and allow their family to establish a stable foothold here.
What is particularly eye-catching is that many foreign male cultivators, for the sake of their own path, have put aside their dignity and reserve and decided to marry into the Liu family.
So, in the place where Liu family members live together, joyful and melodious wedding music can be heard one after another every day. Red sedans shuttle through the streets and alleys, and matchmaking has become the busiest and most respected profession.
Whether it is the young and energetic young people or the middle-aged elders, marrying wives and concubines is their top priority, and this matter has naturally become the most talked about topic among them after dinner.
Under the strong impetus of such a fiery atmosphere, the population size of the Liu family is like the bamboo shoots moistened by the spring rain, rising steadily, showing an extremely astonishing explosive growth trend.
Now, in the Liu family gathering place, you can hear babies crying and children playing everywhere, and the once empty house has begun to gain popularity.
Promoted by such a positive atmosphere, the Liu family's population has mushroomed and exploded rapidly.
The population of the Liu family has suddenly increased from more than 3,000 people thirty years ago to more than 50,000 people. The population has increased by more than ten times.
The Liu family's population has been able to expand to this extent in a short period of time. In addition to the increase in population through marriage, the main reason is the explosion of newborns.
The fathers of those newborns are mostly highly cultivated and powerful people in the family. Therefore, due to blood inheritance, a high proportion of new lives contain spiritual roots. On average, one out of every three children is gifted with spiritual roots, and many of them have excellent qualifications.
This year, there are more than 800 young people over the age of 16 registered in the Liu family. There are 235 people with spiritual roots, including the two brothers Liu Fujin and Liu Fusheng. Two people have Taoist qualifications and spiritual qualifications. There are three people with qualifications, five people with single spiritual roots, and twenty-one people with two spiritual roots.
Today in this square, the more than 200 young men from the Liu family participating in the coming-of-age ceremony all have spiritual roots and have entered the path of immortality. They represent the new force of the Liu family.
Under the personal auspices of the patriarch Liu Fujiao, Liu Fujin, Liu Fusheng and other Liu family teenagers who have reached the age of 16 received the token symbolizing the family's identity solemnly and solemnly.
From this moment on, their young shoulders will carry the expectations and mission of the family, and they will officially embark on their journey to complete the tasks assigned by the family and move forward bravely for the glory and inheritance of the Liu family.
Liu Changxu looked at his two sons, who were tall and handsome, with extraordinary temperament, and then turned his attention to the group of Liu family teenagers around them who were as energetic as the rising sun. He was deeply relieved that there was a successor to the family. It was beyond words, as if they could see the beautiful scene of the family becoming more prosperous and prosperous due to their efforts.
