143.Chapter 143
Mu Yuwan and the others naturally did not disagree, and the next day Qin Xiao asked Zhuzi to find their village chief to discuss the matter of testing the spiritual root.
The words relayed by the pillar were not very clear, the village chief hurriedly ran up the mountain, and when he heard what Qin Xiao said, there was no disobedience, and immediately went down the mountain to combine the five to twenty-year-old children of the entire village, the village chief was a good person, he thought that there had been no collective test of the immortal chief in this place for twenty years, so he integrated the children of a total of five nearby villages.
After noon, there were many people gathered in the Liujia Village Square at the foot of the mountain, there were two or three hundred children, plus the adults who came together, the total number of people was more than two thousand, and it looked dense.
There was a lot of noise in the square, because it was in their own village, so the villagers were more bold, not as timid as they were going to the county seat. In the past, when the sect accepted disciples for collective testing, all of them were in the nearest county town, and there were people from the county government as bodyguards, how could they dare to be presumptuous?
However, the noise of the voice came to an abrupt end with the arrival of Qin Xiao, Mu Yuwan, and Lin Ling, and Bai Lian.
Only children in the village have seen them, and basically none of the villagers have seen them, so seeing the young immortals flying over from a distance, everyone was silent for a while, how dare they make any more noise.
For cultivators, mortals are afraid of the bones, so they also hope to become one of them, but when you don't have that qualification at all, you don't have to be delusional, God has already deprived you of the qualification to cultivate the truth when you were born, so you can only be a good mortal in peace, live a life in peace, maybe you will get what you want in the next life.
Qin Xiao looked at all the children who participated in the test, the oldest was twenty years old, the youngest was five years old, and the reason why it was designated as twenty years old was because Qin Xiao heard from the village that they had not been tested collectively for twenty years. More than twenty years old has already been tested, and since he is still here, it means that he has no spiritual root.
Of course, people between the ages of fifteen and twenty will not break up a family when they get married. However, this kick is very particular, you can't tell people that he is married, you can't choose him, then they will definitely show face to their wives or husbands when they go home. It is actually very easy to identify whether they are married or not, and there is an essential difference between men and women who have lost Yuan Yang and Yuan Yin and boys and girls. But what if both husband and wife have spiritual roots? What to do? Measuring the spiritual root is the first step, and there is a second step, that is, to pass the phantom array, look at everyone's table in the phantom array, and only if you pass guò can you be admitted, but if you can't pass it, you won't be admitted
There are a lot of ways to say this, and it is not something that can be explained clearly in a few words.
Qin Xiao took out the spirit measuring ball and placed it on the table in front of him, his face was relatively strict, and Mu Yuwan and Lin Lingbai Lian stood aside.
"Now come one by one, line up!" Qin Xiao's eyes swept over, and they immediately became obedient and began to line up one after another.
The first fifteen-year-old boy tested, but unfortunately after waiting for a while, the spirit test ball did not react at all, and it was eliminated!
The second one is eliminated
For the twenty-fifth twelve-year-old boy, the Soul Measuring Ball emitted three different rays of light, green, white, and brown.
"Get through the border and stand on the right." The boy stood on Qin Xiao's right in a flutter, which immediately attracted the sideways glances of others
There are very few people who have spiritual roots, and after testing a hundred, only seven people have spiritual roots, which shows the proportion
The last one was a tall, strong, and honest-looking young man, aged about twenty years old, before the test, Qin Xiao was curious about him, "What's your name?" How old is it? Married or not? ”
"My name is Chen Guozhu, nineteen years old, I have no marriage, and I have no marriage contract." Chen Guozhu answered honestly.
It's a bit strange that he hasn't married or had a marriage contract at such an age, but now is not the time to pursue Chen Guozhu's private affairs.
"Well, good, put your hands on it."
Chen Guozhu obediently put his right hand on the spirit measuring ball, but after a moment, the spirit measuring ball emitted a pure brown light.
The square was dumbfounded all of a sudden, and the reaction of the spirit measuring ball meant that it was passed, but Chen Guozhu was so old, which made people who did not have tongguò envious and jealous.
"Hey, it's still a single spirit root, not bad." No wonder it looks so honest, it turns out to be a single-line earth spirit root qualification.
All of them have been tested, and there are only fifteen people in total, but not all of these fifteen people have been collected, and they still need to be tested by the heart.
Qin Xiao asked fifteen people to go back, and go up the mountain by themselves early tomorrow morning, and those who can reach the top of the mountain can be regarded as passing, but those who do not reach the top of the mountain are not passing.
In the evening, Qin Xiao, Mu Yuwan, Lin Ling, and Bai Lian were busy arranging the formation, waiting for the second day to test the hearts of these people, this formation only included the phantom formation, and the simplest basic formations were put together, which was enough to test the children.
Early in the morning of the second day, sure enough, fifteen people stared at the rain and dew.
Qin Xiao didn't show up, but just said: "From the mountain to the top of the mountain, give you two hours, when you get to the top of the mountain, you will pass guò, if you don't reach the top of the mountain, you won't be counted as guò, I will take it away, and if you don't pass guò, you will still stay at home." ”
The fifteen people looked at each other, a little dazed, after all, they were just ordinary peasant children before, most of them didn't even know a word, and the best one was a talented son, who didn't understand anything at all. There are people like Chen Guozhu who are doing things, and there are also children who don't understand anything at the age of five or six, but this road is bound to be walked by themselves.
"Now the timer begins!"
As soon as Qin Xiao's words fell, fifteen people, Chen Guozhu, took the lead and immediately ran towards the top of the mountain.
How do you know that the top of the mountain usually seems to be a short distance, but it will seem that you can't reach it anyway, obviously the end is the top of the mountain, but at the end of the mountain is still far away.
On the high cliff, the water mirror that Qin Xiao made could perfectly present the situation of the people in the phantom array.
Among these fifteen people, the one with the best perseverance and a transparent soul is Chen Guozhu, Chen Guozhu is nineteen years old, neither the eldest nor the eldest in the family, in the middle position, his father does not love his mother, his father and mother put all his efforts on the boss and the child, in order to provide for the elderly to study, but delayed Chen Guozhu's marriage, and now there are no signs, and his father and mother are bent on exploiting Chen Guozhu. Chen Guozhu doesn't know, it's just that he doesn't have a home now, so he doesn't have that motivation, his father and mother will pay the money if they want it, of course, he is not a person without a heart, and he will always deduct some of it and hide it in case of future needs.
There is also a little girl Liu Sanhua with Shuimu Twin Spiritual Roots, who is about seven years old, and she is the first child Qin Xiao to discover with spiritual roots. Her situation is actually similar to Chen Guozhu, her father is not close to her mother and does not love her, she is an expert in the family, so she can go up the mountain every time.
Of course, compared with Liu Sanhua's parents, Chen Guozhu's parents are more superb, Chen Guozhu has a spiritual root and was selected, but his parents whimsically wanted to let the old and young replace him, and he was really eccentric to the armpit. Liu Sanhua's parents will neither block their daughter's path to green clouds, nor will they be happy that their daughter will become an immortal in the future, they are a little indifferent.
These two people may have suffered a lot since childhood, and their minds are very firm, Chen Guozhu is in the front, Liu Sanhua is in the second, they all have one thought, that is, persevere, they will definitely be able to change their situation.
Everyone else was not far behind, but they were all holding on.
This phantom maze also has a gravity factor, which is why it is so difficult for them to walk. Along the way, they will see all the experiences from childhood to adulthood, others treat him well, treat him badly, and the attitude of their parents and relatives, so the expressions on their faces along the way are very painful, of course, Qin Xiao does not dare to arrange the illusion array and maze array that are too strict, for fear that people will be lost in it and will not be able to get out, it will not be good.
People like Chen Guozhu have the ability to distinguish and can quickly wake up, but it is difficult for other five or six-year-old children, they themselves have not grown up, and their ability to distinguish is weak, of course, this phantom array has also reduced a lot of power due to age, as long as they are still determined to walk to the top of the mountain under such a difficult tempering, then they will succeed
In the end, the first one to reach the top of the mountain was Chen Guozhu, and the second was a fifteen-year-old boy, who was considered white in this group of people with yellow faces and thin muscles, called Liu Erqiang, and his name was a little stronger than what he called a pillar dog baby or something, of course, this name was not much better, his eldest brother was called Da Qiang, and his third brother was called Sanqiang, so he was called Erqiang.
A total of 10 people managed to reach the top of the mountain, and five of them failed.
The five people who didn't pass the test, Qin Xiao gave them a piece of silver and let them go home, these five people were the oldest at about ten years old, although they were very depressed, but a lot of silver was already a lot, and they went home happily.
For the remaining ten people, Qin Xiao also gave each two ingots of silver to let them go home and say goodbye to their parents and relatives, and leave here with them tomorrow.
Yes, Qin Xiao and the others plan to continue to advance towards Qimian Mountain in the Wumai Forest tomorrow, and this time they have brought back ten preparatory disciples, as for accepting disciples or something, they will take them back.
