Chapter 007: Wood Body Fire Spirit
A month passed quickly, and finally it was a few days before the chosen disciples. www.biquge.info Seeing that the day was approaching, Jiang Ying always played with her sparse bangs in the mirror, trying to block the ugly red birthmark on her forehead. Granny Jiang, who was secretly looking at her, didn't say anything.
Finally when the day came, before going out, I saw Jiang Ying sitting in front of the mirror and fiddling with her hair, and Granny Jiang walked into the house with a smile, still holding something in her hand. "Girl, what does grandma do for you?"
Jiang Ying turned around when she heard the sound, only to see Granny Jiang holding a beautiful light blue headscarf in her hand. Carefully put the headscarf on Jiang Ying, and Granny Jiang turned her back to the mirror. "Look at how beautiful our girls are. ”
Her rough fingers gently stroked a little birthmark that Jiang Ying was still exposed on her sideburns, "Girl, grandma made this headscarf for you, it's not that you show the birthmark ugly, grandma is afraid that you will lose confidence in yourself because of this birthmark." She was also young, and of course she knew how important a good look was to a little girl of Jiang Ying's age. "Grandma wants you to be confident. ”
Jiang Ying only felt that her nose was a little sour. She resisted the urge to cry and tried to smile. "I see. Grandma, let's go. ”
"Girl, what are you shaking, don't panic. If you don't make it, we'll go home. On the way to the destination, Granny Jiang noticed that Jiang Ying's hands were shaking, and comforted her with a little funny. "Grandma can still afford to support you, no matter how poor she is. ”
"I'm not nervous. Jiang Ying shook her head vigorously and argued, but her still trembling hand completely exposed the uneasiness in her heart. Although Fuyao said that she was a wood spirit root and could practice the exercises of wood attributes, no matter how she called afterward, Fuyao never responded to her again. She didn't know the bottom in her heart, whether the sentence that could be cultivated was true or the words that Fuyao used to comfort her.
"Silly boy. Don't be so yourself," Granny Jiang pulled up her cold hand, covered it in her palm, and patted it. "There are some things that are yours and yours, not yours, and you can't get them no matter how hard you try, you know. ”
"Got it, grandma. Jiang Ying calmed her heartbeat, "I'll try my best." ”
As he spoke, the child next to him pointed to the sky and jumped to his feet. "The immortals are coming!"
Looking in the direction pointed by the child, sure enough, there were a few more emerald green rays of light in the sky, which were approaching Luling City at great speed, and they landed steadily on the high platform after a short time. There were a total of six immortals who fell, two of them were very similar in appearance, all wearing pure white woven moire brocade skirts, the cuffs and skirt corners were embroidered with intricate petal patterns, and it was impossible to see what flowers were for a while;
The parents and children around the high platform also quieted down, waiting for the immortals to speak.
"Folks. One of the female immortals spoke, her voice like a cold spring flowing in a valley, "Today is our triennial selection of apprentices in the Shadow Gate. As long as it is a child under the age of fifteen, regardless of family background, he can come up to test the spiritual root. Among them, the children of the wood spirit root and the fire spirit root, we will directly accept them as disciples in the Shadow Gate. If you have other attribute spiritual roots and excellent qualifications, we will recommend them to other suitable sects for the exercises. ”
She waved her hand, and one of the male immortals behind her took out a huge white jade tablet and placed it on the table on the high platform. "Children who want to take the test can go on stage in an orderly manner. ”
One by one, the children walked up to the stage to touch the white jade plate, but only two remained on the table. Jiang Ying suddenly became a little timid, what if Fuyao was to comfort her?
Seeing that the line in front of her was getting shorter and shorter, Granny Jiang pushed Jiang Ying with a kind expression. "Girl, go ahead. ”
Looking at Granny Jiang's gentle face, and then at the line in front of her, where there were only three or two children left, Jiang Ying gritted her teeth and walked up the steps towards the high platform. Seeing that the two children in front of him had finished touching the jade version but they also got off the stage, it was finally Jiang Ying's turn.
"Huh?" a female immortal glanced at Jiang Ying and spoke softly. "This kid is a little old. ”
"I'm not even fifteen years old! I really haven't!" Before another female immortal could answer, Jiang Ying hurriedly replied. Afraid that she would even be deprived of the right to test, Jiang Ying didn't care about 3721 and threw herself directly at the jade plate on the table, and pressed the two slaps straight up.
It was only then that she could see the full picture of this jade tablet. The jade plate is more than three feet long and wide, and the texture is very delicate milky white jade, and in the center is carved an epiphany in full bloom. After pressing it for a long time, the jade version did not react at all.
Jiang Ying's fiery heart gradually cooled. Other people's impure spiritual roots can change color when they are pressed, but she doesn't even react at all.
Fuyao really comforted her. didn't wait for the immortals to call her down, Jiang Ying was disheartened and about to let go, but she didn't want the two female immortals next to her to take the first step and hold her down. "Don't move. ”
Jiang Ying looked at the female immortal holding her in astonishment, but the other party stared at the jade plate under her hand intently. Jiang Ying just wanted to speak, but when she looked down, she found that the jade version had undergone a strange change.
Threads of tender green silk spread from under her palms, and if you didn't look closely, you wouldn't notice it at first. The speed of the silk thread spread faster and faster, and the color of the jade plate became deeper and deeper with the spread of the silk thread, until the entire white jade plate was dyed a verdant dark green.
Except for the white jade epiphany in the middle.
"Wood Spirit Root, such a pure Wood Spirit Root!" one of the male immortals exclaimed. "It's ......"
"No, it's not over yet. The female immortal who held Jiang Ying's left hand shook her head, still not letting go of Jiang Ying. Her eyes never left the epiphany in the jade plate. Jiang Ying swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and didn't dare to ask more, so she had to wait quietly for the female immortal to finish reading.
waited patiently for a long time, until Jiang Ying's hands were already a little sour. She blinked, looking at the white epiphany in the middle, which had not changed, and wanted to let go of her hand.
Wrong. The flower in the middle seems to have turned pink, is it dazzling?
She blinked vigorously again, finally making sure that it wasn't her own eyes, but that the flower was indeed changing color.
The color changes faster and faster, from white to baby pink, pink, dark pink...... Eventually, it turned into a fiery red epiphany that was so blazing that it almost burned.
Jiang Ying was a little stupid.
"Wood body fire spirit, wood body fire spirit ......" Until the jade version no longer changed, the two female immortals finally let go of the hand that pressed Jiang Ying, and shook their heads in disbelief and exclaimed. "Sister, this is really a treasure that the heavens have given us to the Shadow Gate...... one of them said to the other.
"Don't scare this kid. The other reprimanded softly, lowered his body slightly and looked at Jiang Ying with a pleasant face, "Little girl, what's your name?"
"My name is Jiang Ying. Jiang Ying bit her lip, but her eyes couldn't help but look at Granny Jiang under the stage.
"Your qualifications are very good, and they are very suitable for our Shadow Gate's mental method. Following her gaze, the female fairy saw through her little caution and laughed softly. "Originally, we should have taken you back after choosing an apprentice, but you seem to have something to say to your grandmother, how about we give you one more night?"
"Good. Jiang Ying nodded.
The female fairy straightened up and tapped a little on her earlobe. "I'll leave you with a small spell that will determine your location, and we'll be waiting for you near your house tomorrow morning, okay?"
Jiang Ying nodded.
"Go ahead. The female fairy smiled and touched her head, then turned around and motioned for the next child to come on stage for testing. Jiang Ying stumbled off the stage, and Granny Jiang was looking at her with a smile.
"Grandma, I chose. I don't know why, looking at Granny Jiang's kind face, she was a little unhappy. "Grandma, let's go home, the immortal said that he would take me away tomorrow. Taking Granny Jiang's hand, she said softly.
"Good, good. Go back in the evening and grandma will make you something delicious ......"
