Chapter 5: Finding the Spiritual Root

Father said casually: "Take it, Dad bought it for you." ”

Facing his father's words, coupled with the fact that he really liked this wooden sword, a smile appeared on the corner of Xuanyuan Po's mouth, and he held the wooden sword tightly in his arms.

"How much is it?" Changqing said as he pulled out his freshly received salary from his pocket.

"Forget it, just give it to the child as a gift, the child likes it so much. Lao Li Tou excused himself.

"Lao Litou, they are all from your own family, what are you polite to me, how much is it to say?"

"Then take five cents. Changqing asked casually when he gave the money: "What are those people outside doing, they don't go home for dinner so late, they know how to wander around"

"What? you don't even know?" Old Li Tou's expression was surprised, as if something big had happened in the village.

Changqing asked curiously, "What happened?"

Lao Li Tou said: "You don't know yet, two envoys came to our village today, and it is reported that these two envoys came to our village to select immortal cultivation geniuses." If my son is fortunate enough to be chosen by them and used by the state, then I will have no worries about food and clothing for the rest of my life. Anyway, I'm going to let my son give it a try tomorrow. ”

"I see. Changqing muttered to himself.

Changqing said casually: "I see you, let's concentrate on your business, don't have a hammer in the east and a stick in the west, you are not the descendants of the Nuwa clan, the Shennong clan, and the Fuxi clan." Ordinary children's spiritual roots are weak, and their immortal cultivation qualifications are not enough at all, so they will not take them in. ”

Lao Li Tou was puzzled: "How do you understand so much?"

Changqing suddenly came over in a trance and said, "It's nothing, it's all from those villagers in the field." ”

"Anyway, I want my son to give it a try, I feel that my son's qualifications are very good, so follow me. Lao Li Tou said firmly.

This is the first time Xuanyuan Po has heard the words of cultivating immortals, although it is very unfamiliar, but he has an idea in his heart that he doesn't know where to come, and he always feels that he can achieve something in cultivating immortals.

Along the way, Xuanyuan Po followed Changqing very silently, and finally he couldn't suppress the doubts in his heart, and ran forward and said, "Dad, can cultivating immortals really make our family's life better?"

"Don't listen to Lao Li Tou's nonsense, it's useless, it's good to be an ordinary person. Hearing his father's words, Xuanyuan Po stood in place for a long time, and suddenly Xuanyuan Po trotted all the way to keep up with his father and said, "Dad, I want to try it tomorrow." ”

"No, you are not allowed to go tomorrow, give me an honest home. In Xuanyuan Po's eyes, his father has always been gentle and elegant, and he has never rejected himself so forcefully as he does now.

In the face of his father's reproach, Xuanyuan Po didn't know what he had done wrong, like a frightened little sheep drooping his little head, he just wanted to make his father easier in the future, and he didn't want him to be inferior in front of others for the sake of this family.

After a while, Changqing's heart calmed down, he knew that it was not Xuanyuan Po's fault, but the soul beast sealed in his body was too powerful, and he only said it as a last resort, in order to dispel Xuanyuan's idea of breaking through the immortal cultivation and prevent the monster from breaking the seal.

"Xuanyuan Po, it's good to be an ordinary person, we don't have the talent to cultivate immortals...... Or maybe you don't have that luck, you are not naturally suitable for eating this bowl of rice, so accept your fate. Xuanyuan Po nodded slightly, but his heart was still full of unwillingness, and what he didn't understand the most was why his father didn't let him give it a try.

The long and bleak night was long and boring, Xuanyuan turned over and over on the bed, the bed creaked, and the image of his father groveling during the day was still vivid in his mind, no matter how much he wanted to forget, but he still couldn't move. At this time, a thought vaguely appeared in his heart.

That is, he must be a successful person, so that his father does not have to run for life and grovel in front of others.

And for Xuanyuan Po, who has limited knowledge, he doesn't know any way to make a lot of money, and the only way he knows how to make a lot of money is to listen to what Lao Li Tou said today, cultivating immortals.

So Xuanyuan Po made a private decision, he decided to give it a try tomorrow without telling his father, no matter whether he succeeded or not, he would not leave any regrets, and the corners of Xuanyuan Po's mouth exuded an innocent smile, and then he fell silent in his dream.

In the early morning of the next day, Hexi's sunlight entered the window lattice, and Xuanyuan Po had not woken up in a groggy state when he heard the sound of gongs and drums in the whole village.

Even though Xuanyuan Po's house was relatively remote from the village center, the sound of gongs and drums was still loud, Xuanyuan Po quickly woke up, and he quickly packed his things and prepared to go out.

"Where are you going? Xuanyuan Po didn't expect that his father didn't go to work today, but at home.

Xuanyuan trembled and lied: "I'll go, I'll go, herd sheep......"

Changqing said in a low tone: "You don't have to herd sheep today, and you are not allowed to go there at home." "After all, it's a son, Xuanyuan broke those little ninety-nine, and Changqing could guess it with his heels.

Xuanyuan Po nodded silently, and suddenly said, "I want to try, in case ......"

"No in case, give me back. ”

Xuanyuan Po watched his father sit there motionless, with a serious expression, so he had to give up.

Under his father's strict surveillance, Xuanyuan Po had no way to escape from his father's palm.

Soon it was afternoon, Xuanyuan Po was still under the supervision of his father, and the noisy gongs and drums outside gradually became calm.

But all this did not bode well for Xuanyuan Po, because the coldness outside indicated that it was all coming to an end, and Xuanyuan Po's heart was full of anxiety and anticipation.

The persistent Xuanyuan Po finally couldn't resist the impulse in his heart, it was 10,000 bulls rushing, he took advantage of his father's sleepiness outside the door, he quietly carried all the furniture to the window, and quietly escaped through the back window.

He was like a wild horse that had escaped the reins, and he ran wildly along the way, and his heart was full of good expectations.

Everything was as he thought, the whole ceremony was nearing the end, and he should be the last in the village.

There was a flash of light on the stage, and when the light gradually faded, the face of the Taoist priest on the stage was revealed. Xuanyuan Po still clearly remembers that he is the one who came on horseback yesterday.

"Go down, you don't have a spiritual root. The Taoist priest said disappointed Yaoyao.

"Is there really not a child in our village who can cultivate immortals?" said the old village chief with some sadness, and then he shouted loudly: "There are still those children who haven't tried, come over quickly." ”

The Taoist priest seemed to be a little impatient, "Don't try, it's all the same, there shouldn't be any good spiritual roots here." ”

"Wait, I haven't tried yet, I haven't tried yet......" The old village chief saw Xuanyuan Po, as if he saw the hope of the whole village, "Come on, come on, come on, child." ”

The old village chief said respectfully: "This is the child of the Changqing family, this child is smart and sensible, and he will definitely have a good spiritual root." ”

The Taoist priest glanced at the child, and indeed from the face, the child was heroic and had the appearance of a cultivator.

The Taoist priest looked at Xuanyuan Po's left hand again, and a burst of joy was revealed from the Taoist priest's face, with a hint of surprise in this joy.

"Immortal Realm, Immortal Realm's Lines, come and let me help you see your spiritual root. The Taoist priest said, let Xuanyuan Po sit cross-legged, use the spiritual power of his whole body to control the formation, and let Xuanyuan Po's spiritual root appear.

But what made the Taoist priest strange was that the formation that opened the spiritual root floated under Xuanyuan Po for a long time, and his spiritual root did not appear, and all kinds of runes could not enter Xuanyuan Po's body, as if he was blocked by some kind of enchantment.

The Taoist priest was still a little unwilling, because he did see the lines of the Immortal Realm on Ike's palmistry, and he decided to try harder.

At this time, Changqing, who was at home, suddenly felt unwell, as if someone was forcibly opening his spiritual root. Changqing hurriedly strode into the house, Xuanyuan Po was gone, and Zixuan didn't know where he went, only Lan'er was playing in the room.

Changqing didn't worry that Lan'er was home alone, so he took Lan'er to find Xuanyuan Po, although he knew that no one could break the seal of Zhu Xianzhen from the beginning to the present. But he was still worried, because only he knew what a powerful monster Xuanyuan had broken the seal in his body.

Changqing rushed there, and the result he saw was as he imagined, although the Taoist priest knew that Xuanyuan Po had the lifeblood of the immortal realm, but he didn't know that Xuanyuan Po's spiritual root was sealed by Zhu Xianzhen, plus his ability was limited, and he didn't help Xuanyuan Po open the spiritual root, and the result ended with the failure of the Taoist priest, Xuanyuan Po did not have the qualifications to cultivate immortals.

Xuanyuan Po walked down from the stage with a depressed expression, "Brother Xuanyuan, Brother Xuanyuan." ”

Hearing Lan'er's shout, he saw his father, at this time his heart was full of disappointment and unwillingness, and he was afraid that his father would blame him. Xuanyuan ran away and ran towards the deep forest of the mountain.

"Come back to me, you bear boy. Changqing said angrily. Then Changqing looked around, handed Lan'er to the village chief and said, "The village chief is sorry for you." ”

The village chief is a good old man, and he readily agreed to Changqing. Changqing also followed Xuanyuan Po and ran towards the deep forest of the mountain.

"Alright, village chief, let's stop here today, tomorrow I'll pack my bags and get ready to leave the village. The Taoist priest said.

But in the old village chief's heart, he was still a little unwilling, he didn't believe that there was no one in his village who had the qualifications to cultivate immortals, even if there were some faint spiritual roots.

"Bad guys, bad guys, bad guys who stain my clothes. When Lan'er saw the Taoist priest, she clearly remembered that he had soiled his clothes yesterday.

"Lan'er, don't talk to the Taoist like this, or the Taoist will spank his ass. Lan'er hurriedly covered her ass and obediently ran behind the village chief.

The village chief said respectfully: "The child is not sensible, don't you mind, is there really no one in the village who has the qualifications to cultivate immortals?"

The Taoist priest shook his head and said, "Village Chief, don't bother, in a small remote village like this, the immortal qi is extremely thin, and it is normal to have no spiritual roots." ”

Seeing that the Taoist chief was about to leave, the village chief suddenly came into a trance, didn't he still have a child in his hands. "Daoist Chief, stay down, look at how this kid is. ”

The Taoist priest turned around and glanced at Lan'er casually, and said, "Village chief, this child is still young and a girl, so forget it." ”

The village chief grabbed the last straw and respectfully said: "Look at this child, look, use your bells and whistles to see, the last ......"

In the face of the village chief's desperate retention, the Taoist priest agreed to the village chief.

However, at this time, the Taoist priest had already worked hard for a day, and he had tried desperately to open the spiritual root for Xuanyuan Po just now, which consumed a lot of his spiritual power.
