Chapter 29: The Mirror of Spirit

Seeing the stout man's appearance, the hearts of the few people behind couldn't help but sink.

The man in blue and the man in yellow also had gloomy faces, as if they could squeeze out water.

That being said, who doesn't want to be a man of God's favor who is willing to do those menial toils and serve others at this age of flesh and spirit?

But everything is forced by life, and they can only choose to go against the grain.

Those heavenly pets have always been few.

The vast majority, like them, can only struggle at the bottom end, looking at the sun above full of longing, gritting their teeth and constantly climbing up.

On the other side, a young man stepped forward, thin and dark, I don't know if he was too nervous or what, he stood in front of the sharp-beaked monkey-cheeked Taoist priest for a while, his body trembling and not moving.

It wasn't until the Taoist priest frowned impatiently that he reacted, and hurriedly walked to the "Spiritual Mirror" and put his hand on it tremblingly.

In the sunken eye sockets, there was a hint of longing in the tired eyes.

The other hand clenched secretly, and the dirt-covered nails were stuck in the shriveled palm, bleeding out.

The spirit stone also reacted, and with a slight shock, a light appeared.

The dim milky white light was reflected in the thin man's eyes, and the bones wrapped in crumpled skin kept vibrating.

The man shook his head, looking at the mirror-smooth stone surface with desperate eyes, his mouth slightly open but unable to speak, tears instantly flowing from his sunken eyes.

"Alas. ”

I don't know who sighed softly, and the sound turned into a boulder and weighed heavily on everyone's hearts.

There was a deathly silence all around, and in the midst of everyone's gaze, the thin man let out a slight sob, raised his legs and walked through the door.

The Taoist priest with the sharp-beaked monkey cheeks was full of indifference, pointed to the man in yellow at the front of the team, and signaled to step forward.

That scene just now appears every year, and he has long been surprised, and now he just wants these people to be able to monitor it quickly and go back to sleep well.

"Brother Zhang, come on. ”

The man in blue clenched his fists in front of his chest, staring at the man in yellow to cheer him on.

"I will. ”

The man in yellow replied, but the look in his eyes betrayed his flustered heart, and his legs seemed to weigh a thousand pounds.

In his opinion, the distance of just a few zhang seems to be thousands of miles away.

But that was just a conjecture in his heart, and after a few steps, he still arrived at the "Spiritual Mirror" and put his palm on it.

Just like those people before, but faintly different, the smooth walls of the spirit stone rippled like calm water, and the light emerged.

Seeing this, the originally casual Taoist priest on the side sat up straight and stared at the yellow-clothed young man, and the teenagers in the team also poked their heads out.

The light appeared, different from the milky white before, and the glow was intertwined with red and blue, like a ribbon from the void wrapped around the man in yellow.

"I ...... Two-color ......" The man in yellow blinked his eyes, looked at the ribbon wrapped around his body, and was amazed, the strange brilliance made him refreshed and comfortable.

The Taoist priest, who had been sitting upright, sat down again at this time, took out a worn-out wooden sign from his bosom, threw it over, and said:

"Do you know the rules?"

"Yes, yes. ”

The man in yellow hurriedly caught the wooden card and stroked it in his hand, his eyes were full of joy, he bowed to the Taoist priest and then walked towards the man in blue.

"Brother Shi, I'...... I ......"

"Congratulations, get in, don't delay. ”

"Okay, okay, I'll wait for you inside. ”

The man in yellow nodded hurriedly, and immediately ran into the door, his body as light as a bird leaping for joy.

The man in blue nodded with a pleased smile, not only him, but also the people in the surrounding team cast envious glances, and the originally quiet team suddenly became chattering and noisy.

"That's the first person to shine today. ”

"Dual-color light, if only I could too. ”

"I, I'm sure I'll be able to play three colors!"

One person raised his head and said, but his tone was a little insufficient, and the people around him also cast disdainful looks, and the man lowered his head when he saw it.

"What's going on, why are you so excited all of a sudden?" An Sheng asked, looking at the people who were like frying the pot, touching the man in blue with his arm.

"The more colorful and colorful the light emitted, the brighter the light, the higher the talent, and Brother Zhang's two-color look just now can be regarded as a good talent. ”

"If it's a three-color, you can be directly accepted as a disciple, although it's a pity, but if it's a two-color, even if it's a miscellaneous worker, it's also the general manager, and if there is good progress in cultivation, you will be accepted as a formal disciple by the sect at any time. ”

The man in blue said, shaking his head and sighing, he didn't expect his partner to have such a talent, and he hoped that he could do the same.

An Sheng tilted his head and nodded as if he didn't understand.

"Hurry up, hurry up, get out if you don't come up!"

A voice interrupted the blue-clothed man's thoughts, and it turned out to be the Taoist priest who was sitting paralyzed, seeing that he had not come up, frowned and urged.

"Yes, I'm sorry, Xiao Sheng delayed the long time. ”

The man in blue smiled, bowed to the Taoist priest, and then immediately strode to the "Spirit Mirror", licked his lips, and put his hand on it.

"There must be a colored light!"

He kept shouting in his heart, and his slightly trembling palm pressed against the smooth wall.

It will be a fateful choice!

The spirit stone shook slightly, and a faint brilliance appeared on it, which instantly shattered the original illusion in his heart - a milky white light appeared, stinging his eyes.

Myself...... Is it so unbearable?

The man in blue lowered his head like a defeated rooster, his eyes were out of focus, and his gloomy face seemed to be dripping water.

The Taoist priest who was sitting paralyzed on the side did not react at all, humming a little song, without raising his eyelids, and his upturned legs kept swinging.

The people who were originally shocked by the appearance of the colorful light of the man in yellow saw that the milky white light appeared as always, and the originally noisy surroundings quieted down again.

It seems that there are still very few talented people.

The man in blue lowered his palm, hung down weakly, did not bow to the Taoist priest, and walked into the wooden door with stiff steps.

Everyone couldn't help but sigh for a while, the situation was impermanent, the man in yellow obviously knew the man in blue, but he didn't expect that this time, the fates of the two were staggered at this moment, completely different.

One is almost destined to be a handyman for the rest of his life and will not survive, and the other has a good talent and is very likely to become a disciple of the sect.

In contrast, it is immediately clear.

Maybe you don't feel much about the success of others, but when the person around you is successful, even that person is still your friend, and you are far inferior to him.

At that moment, the inner humiliation and comparison will be extremely strong.

This is the case with the man in blue now, and he is in a fierce struggle inside.

"I should have celebrated my friend, but why is my heart so depressed and uncomfortable?"

Yin Ziqing saw all this in his eyes, and everyone's regretful, sarcastic, or indifferent expressions were reflected in the black eyes, but the young man's expression did not fluctuate at all.

Because, this is the way this world is.
