The store is full of passers-by

"Other than that?" Ye Xin looked at Yun Hao reflected in the rearview mirror.

"Besides..." Yun Hao hesitated for a moment, and said, "He gave me an invitation card, inviting me to attend his daughter's coming-of-age ceremony in seven days."

"Oh, so it is like this." The expression on Ye Xin's face became a little complicated, and she said: "This time, the coming-of-age ceremony of the daughter of the Shi family is still in the ancient martial arts family, and there is quite a commotion Basically, all the ancient martial arts families, as long as they are not those who live in seclusion in the deep mountains and old forests and have a deep hatred with the Shi family, all those who can come, even Wudang and Shaolin, have sent people over."

But Yun Hao muttered: "It's so grand? Coming of age ceremony, how old are you, an ancient warrior, to be considered an adult?"

"Ah, what's wrong?"

"I think Patriarch Shi is already in his seventies and eighties, isn't it his daughter?"

"Old daughter, before this, Patriarch Shi had several children, but they are all..." Ye Xin didn't continue.

Yun Hao probably understood what it meant.

No wonder this coming-of-age ceremony was so grand, it seemed that Shi Tiantian was very fond of his daughter.

Chapter 8 Thirty: Martial Arts Competition

"It seems that this coming-of-age ceremony will be quite lively." Ye Xin suddenly looked back at Yun Hao and said, "You have to work hard."

Yun Hao was puzzled and asked, "What do you mean, why should I work harder?"

"You don't know that holding a coming-of-age ceremony for a woman in an ancient martial arts family has another meaning besides celebrating coming of age," Ye Xin said.

Yun Hao shook his head and said, "What do you mean? I'm not from an ancient martial arts family, so I don't quite understand."

"Why are you not?" Ye Xin asked back.

"Am I?"

"Top ten families of ancient martial arts, seven sects!" Ye Xin said in a serious voice: "Your Yun family is one of them. How many people want to defeat your Yun family and occupy a seat among the top ten families. How did you get here? In this generation, you are no longer from the ancient martial arts family."

Yun Hao was stunned, and then said: "Hehe, this... I really don't know, I didn't expect that my family is still a family of ancient martial arts."

"Don't you even know this?"

"I don't know." Yun Hao said truthfully: "My father never told me about this, and he never taught me any martial arts, but... don't you think that the topic is getting too far?"

"You really don't know martial arts?"

"Isn't it possible?"

"Then I'm afraid you won't have a chance this time."

"what chance."

"Follow up what I just said." Ye Xin said: "In addition to celebrating coming of age, the coming-of-age ceremony also has another purpose. If I use a more vivid and appropriate vocabulary to describe it, that is... a martial arts competition to recruit relatives."

"what?"

"Martial arts contest to recruit relatives! I haven't seen it on TV. Set up a ring, and the woman will be the ringleader on it. If anyone can beat her, she will belong to him." Ye Xin said it as a matter of course.

"I've seen it before, but what age is this, and you still do this kind of thing? And... this kind of thing, whoever can beat her, she will marry, isn't it a natural disadvantage for women? That's all she is." Yun Hao said.

"So the current "martial arts competition to recruit relatives" is not a real martial arts competition to recruit relatives. The reason why it is still done is just a tradition passed down by the ancient martial arts family. If you don't want to do this, just don't hold the coming of age ceremony. Once the coming of age ceremony is held, it will definitely He is a member of this family, he is very confident in his daughter, and wants to show the power of the family through the younger generation."

"Generally speaking, those seniors in the ancient martial arts family who have been famous for a long time will not make a move easily. It is no good to win, and it is not good to lose face. But among the ancient martial arts families, they want to fight each other. One after the other. So...letting the new generation fight against each other has become the best choice."

"Of course, in the arena, if you really defeated the ring master, and the two of you see each other again, it's not impossible to have a smooth marriage. Even if you didn't see each other on the spot, the two young people are both warriors. , the so-called don't know each other without fighting, if you get to know each other, maybe you can develop a relationship in the future."

After listening to Ye Xin's explanation, Yun Hao finally understood, and immediately said: "So this coming-of-age ceremony is a large-scale exchange and blind date meeting place for second-generation martial artists, right?"

"Second generation Wu? A blind date venue?" Ye Xin repeated, and suddenly burst out laughing, and said, "If you say that, it's not unreasonable."

Yun Hao looked at her smiling face, and said, "You are also from the ancient martial arts family, didn't you hold a coming-of-age ceremony back then?"

"It's been held." Ye Xin said.

"Then did you fall in love?"

Ye Xin shook her head helplessly, and said: "No, the so-called young talents of that class were too weak, none of them could beat me, and the only one who could draw with me was a man in his 30s. At that time, how could I be tempted by someone in his 30s, what do you think?"

"That's right, but... can I go to martial arts competitions to recruit relatives in my 30s?"

"There is no age limit, as long as you are unmarried, but... if you reach a certain age, you won't be able to play cheeky anymore, right?"

"That's right."

"So you now know what Patriarch Shi meant when he invited you?"

Yun Hao nodded bitterly. Shi Tiantian... included him in his daughter's "blind date" objects.

However, his plan might come to nothing. Yun Hao doesn't know martial arts at all, and after learning about the "martial arts competition to recruit relatives", he doesn't plan to cause trouble and single out a woman on the day of the coming-of-age ceremony.

"Then what, didn't you say you still have something to talk to me?" Yun Hao asked, changing the subject.

"Oh, this matter." Ye Xin said: "A batch of cultural relics have been unearthed in a place, and they are still being excavated. After the contents are out, they will be sold on the spot. I ask if you are interested."

Yun Hao was taken aback, and said, "Shouldn't the unearthed cultural relics..."

"Hand it in, and give you a pennant?"

"Forehead……"

"Those Tufuzi went all out to rob the tomb, not for the silk banner. If your words were heard by those Tufuzi's families, they would probably blacklist you," Ye Xin said.

Well, people make money, dead birds die for food, at least those grave robbers are just going to plunder the money of the dead.

"How is it, are you interested?" Ye Xin asked.

Yun Hao thought for a moment, then said, "Where is it?"

After all, Linyuan Pavilion is an antique shop, and you need to buy some antiques when you sell them.Although there is the treasure house of Orange Gate, there are some valuable things in it. If it is not necessary, Yun Hao does not want to sell it easily.

"It's not far away. They sent me some photos over there. Would you like to take a look?"

"Okay, let's take a look first."

Ye Xin immediately sent a few photos to Yunhao, all of which were just excavated from the tomb, a dazzling array of bottles, jars, porcelain, iron and bronze wares.

Looking at the utensils in these pictures, Yun Hao roughly deduced that this tomb should be from the late Ming Dynasty and early Qing Dynasty.And among the many items, he saw something that interested him quite a bit.

A bronze mask, but the inside of this mask is full of sharp teeth.

If it is used as a mask, how can it be worn with teeth inside?This is an unreasonable design, but it is this unreasonable design that makes Yunhao interested... Maybe it has something to do with the guardian family.

"Interesting." Yun Hao said, "When can I go and have a look?"
