Valkyrie legend

Accompanied by the loud sound of the copper dragon, a short and stout man in a black robe with a golden lion pattern on his chest stepped onto the high platform.This person is the fifth branch of the Ding family's seven direct lines, and Ding Honglu, the fourth eldest, is one of the four elders of the Ding family and is in charge of the Martial Pavilion.

Wu Pavilion is in charge of the Ding family's library library and the training of children.Therefore, Ding Honglu, the elder of the Ding family and the fourth younger brother of Patriarch Ding Hongtian, is in charge of the annual sacrificial banquet five element attribute assessment and competition.

After Ding Honglu stood still on the stage, he glanced around the clansmen below, and clasped his fists together and said in an extremely loud voice: "Elders, brothers, sisters, and children, this year's five-element attribute test of our clan is still the same as usual. The family members who are 12 years old will take the test one by one according to the order of the month in the family. Those who can measure the attributes of the five elements will enter the Martial Arts Pavilion; Bar?"

Seeing that everyone was quiet and had no objections, Ding Honglu waved his hand and summoned two servants to move the five-element attribute test stone pillar to the stage.After the two servants came to the center of the high platform, they carefully lowered the stone pillar.As the stone pillar fell to the ground, there was a muffled sound of "bang!", and the whole platform trembled slightly, which showed that the test stone pillar was really heavy.

The whole stone pillar is not too big, its appearance is as smooth and tidy as white jade, about as thick as the thigh of a strong man, and its height is no more than three feet (1 meter). The ruler, one finger wide, refers to the left and right gaps, this is the place used to test the attributes of the five elements.

When the servant retreated, Ding Honglu continued: "As in previous years, when testing the attributes of the five elements, you must try your best to move the stone pillars, so that you can best stimulate the potential of the attributes of the five elements. Well, all the children participating in the test this year, come up! "

After Ding Honglu finished speaking, he saw children walking towards the high platform one after another, and Ding Sheng also stood up resolutely, and walked towards the high platform under the worried eyes of his grandfather and father.

There were eight children participating in the test this year, which was a little less than in previous years. Among the eight children, Ding Sheng had the youngest month, so he was arranged for the last test.

It was the first time for the eight children to take the stage, and they were inevitably a little nervous and excited.Fortunately, Ding Honglu was also quite patient. After giving instructions one by one, these children were allowed to stand in line.

Among these eight children, the first four children are from the Ding family's collateral family, the fifth is Ding Yun, the youngest son of Ding Hongbo, the sixth branch of the Ding family, and the sixth is the seventh son of the Ding family's direct line. Ding Yun, the youngest daughter of Zhi Ding Hongnan, is the seventh Ding Hui, the eldest grandson of Ding Hongyuan, the first branch of the Ding family, and Ding Sheng is naturally the last one.

Looking at the eight children standing in a row, Ding Honglu's originally serious face also showed a slight smile. After tonight, these children will become the future elite of the family, and they are also the hope of the family.

When his eyes caught Ding Sheng, Ding Honglu couldn't help being startled, and then asked: "Sheng'er, you are already six years old tonight? I remember you were born on the third day of the twelfth lunar month, right?"

Hearing Ding Honglu's words, the children all looked at Ding Sheng in amazement, and Ding Sheng was also slightly taken aback. He didn't expect this fourth uncle, who seemed to be big and thick, to be so careful and remember his birthday so clearly. On his birthday, he will be six years old in three days, so as a rule, he cannot take the test.
