When the door was closed, it was pitch black, and it was almost impossible to reach for five fingers, and suddenly, a bright light appeared at the top of the head. Yi Jiuxiao looked up, only to see a little starlight flickering in the night sky of the dome, and then starlight also appeared on the four walls, and then even starlight flashed on the ground, and the whole person seemed to be in the starry sky.

The starry sky is not static, but constantly moving and changing, and the starlight is constantly sprinkled on Yi Jiuxiao's body. After a reincarnation, the stars fell into the sea, the sun and the moon appeared on the dome again, and the wind, thunder and lightning, gold, wood, water, fire, and earth began to transform, and each illusion left a projection on Yi Jiuxiao's body, and then disappeared completely.

At last it was darkness again, the door opened, and the light from outside poured in. It was the white-clothed official just now who walked out of this room with Yi Jiuxiao, and Huang Sheng waited at the door, bowing down to ask about the test results.

The official shook his head, and kept muttering: "It's really strange, why is there no reaction at all, even a stone reacts." ”

"My lord, what is the situation?" Huang Sheng looked at the official's expression, he actually knew the result, but he still wanted to ask carefully.

"I've been doing the Spiritual Root Test for ten years, and I've tested tens of thousands of people before and after, and I've seen all kinds of spiritual roots. It is that people have spiritual roots, and the spiritual roots are divided into five elements of spiritual roots and alien spiritual roots, the five elements of spiritual roots are gold, wood, water, fire and earth, and the alien spiritual roots are wind, thunder and ice, some people have a single spiritual root, and some people have several spiritual roots at the same time. ”

The white-clothed official continued to express his doubts: "The mortals we are talking about are not without a trace of spiritual roots, but the spiritual roots are very weak, so weak that it is difficult to sense the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, but when I tested him just now, there was no reaction at all, there was no spiritual root at all, could it be that there was something wrong with the testing table?"

There are tens of millions of people in Kaizhou, Qi State, and there are many people who come to test the Linggen every day, and there are a total of ten test benches in the Linggen Test Workshop, and the white-clothed official took Yi Jiuxiao to another test bench for retesting, and he very much suspected that the test bench just now was out of order. But the result was still the same, there was not the slightest reaction on the test bench, and not even the slightest spiritual root could be sensed.

Bai Yi believes that it is not the problem of the test bench, but that this child is very peculiar, such a complete mortal, he has seen it for the first time in his life. Today's Linggen test has also rewritten the record in the history of the Linggen test in Kaizhou.

Huang Sheng was not surprised by this result, he also did the spiritual root test when he was young, and the spiritual root was very weak and complicated, and it belonged to the kind that could not be cultivated, so he did some mortal livelihood in peace. There is nothing wrong with being a mortal, after all, there are people in this world who have good spiritual roots to cultivate, and they are one in a hundred, or even one in a thousand.

But Yi Jiuxiao was very disappointed, it was not that he didn't want to be a mortal, but he didn't want to spend his life ordinary. In the depths of his heart, he still continues the dream of joining the army, wanting to join the army, galloping on the battlefield, and making contributions to his career as a hot-blooded man.

On the way back to Huangfu, Huang Sheng looked at Yi Jiuxiao, who was full of loss, and comforted him: "It's nothing if you don't have a spiritual root, our head of the family also doesn't have a spiritual root, you see that he has a good way of doing business, and his life is not the same!"

"Uncle Huang, in the Qi Kingdom, can you only do business and be a commoner?" Yi Jiuxiao lowered his head and asked a helpless word.

"Haha, of course not, you can still be an official, civil officials don't have to have spiritual roots, but they have to study and gain fame. ”

Huang Sheng's words made Yi Jiuxiao, who was full of dark clouds, see a glimmer of light, he has always been obsessed with the road of joining the army, ignoring that he can also win fame through reading, and there is nothing wrong with being a civil official, and he can also govern the country and the people through heaven and earth.

"Uncle Huang, then I'll go study. This sentence jumped out of Yi Jiuxiao's mouth very simply.

"Alas, it's good to study, but you also have to have money, you have to hire teachers, you have to pay for living expenses, and you have to work hard for more than ten years. ”

Huang Sheng obviously understands Yi Jiuxiao's living situation, and is not very optimistic about his idea of reading, reading also needs economic support, a herding baby who has no place to live, what conditions do he have to study, and reading also requires talent, not everyone who reads can get ahead.

It is a good thing to have ideals, but often the ideals are very plump and the reality is very skinny, Yi Jiuxiao has lofty ideals, serving in the army, studying, and so on, but he is a lonely and helpless teenager, what is the way to realize these ideals? The ideals that cannot be realized are dreams, and from Huang Sheng's point of view, Yi Jiuxiao might as well work in the Huang family in an an, and save some money to marry a wife and have children in the future.

In the evening, Huang Sheng took Yi Jiuxiao to the study of the head of the family, Huang Luo, saying that it was a study, but in fact it was just a place for discussions, he was a businessman, and he had no interest in reading, and the books in the study were just decorations.

Huang Luo obviously already knew the results of the Linggen test, and called Yi Jiuxiao over to ask him about his next step, there were only two ways in front of Yi Jiuxiao, one was to return to Luowu Mountain, and the other was to stay in Huang Luo's mansion and follow Huang Sheng and them to do some errands. In fact, the latter road is more realistic, Kaizhou is more than 2,000 miles away from Luowu Mountain, and Yi Jiuxiao can hardly go back alone.

However, these two paths are not what Yi Jiuxiao wants, he has his own ideals, it is okay to say that he is a dream, he wants to study and practice martial arts. Huang Luo gave these two paths almost directly cut off his ideals, and he was unwilling.

"Master, I still want to go out and find a place where I can practice martial arts and study. ”

Yi Jiuxiao knew the consequences of his words, he refused to stay in the Yellow Mansion to do things, and went out alone. When he went out, he brought with him the little money he had saved from grazing for a year, which was estimated to be enough to live in Kaizhou for a month.

"Life in Kaizhou is not easy, you are still a child, what you said about practicing martial arts, hehe, you can go to the song and dance workshop to try it, only it is a bit similar to your martial arts. ”

Huang Luo is a very patient person, and what he said to Yi Jiuxiao is also true, you are a child, if you want to live alone in Kaizhou, there is really no good way except to ask for food.

"Family master, what does the song and dance workshop do?" There is also a song and dance workshop in the Great Song Dynasty, Yi Jiuxiao doesn't know if it's the same.

"The song and dance workshop is an official organization under the control of the state government, which is similar to the Linggen Test Workshop, but the division of labor is different. There are some kabuki in the song and dance workshop, where they learn to perform songs and dances, perform songs and dances during festivals and festivals, and are usually hired by butlers and merchants. ”

Sure enough, this song and dance workshop is similar to that of the Great Song Dynasty, and it is also a government-run entertainment organization, and the kabuki in it are all women who sell their performances but not their bodies, and there are basically no male kabuki, I don't know what the song and dance shops in Kaizhou are.

"Can a man be a kabuki?"

"There are both men and women, but most of them are women, and they are recruited to train when they are teenagers and learn various skills, and I see that your martial arts training is very similar to the movements of Kabuki, so if you are interested, you can try it. ”

It seems that Huang Luo still knows a lot about the situation of the song and dance workshop, and as a wealthy businessman, he should have many opportunities to watch Kabuki performances.

In the Great Song Dynasty, Kabuki is a profession for operas, although it is different from Qinglou, performing arts is not selling oneself, but it is the most inferior profession, this profession is usually engaged in by poor women and women who are convicts, it is not what Yi Jiuxiao wants at all, but there is no other way in Kaizhou, rather than a mediocre life, it is better to give it a go.

The next day, it was still Huang Sheng who took Yi Jiuxiao to the song and dance workshop, which recruits people almost all year round, but the exam is also extremely strict, and the requirements are both color and art, and many poor children want to enter, but it is difficult to meet the conditions. Huang Sheng hadn't seen Yi Jiuxiao's talent either, so he didn't have much hope at all, just to complete the errand arranged by the head of the family.

There is no official with a stick at the door of the song and dance workshop, but the gatehouse is also very magnificent, the dragon flying and the phoenix dance on the wide gatehouse with three big characters "song and dance workshop", there are two errand men in front of the door, wearing green clothes and small hats.

Huang Sheng seemed to be familiar with the errand man, and after briefly explaining his intentions, he went directly inside, and after passing through the courtyard on the first floor, he came to a room with a sign of "Jiaoshitang", which was the selection and training department of the song and dance workshop.

Special attention is paid to the selection test song and dance workshop, presided over by Liangyu, the head of the church of the church, Liangyu is a woman in her thirties, the years can't hide her former beauty, her figure is still as beautiful as a girl, but her face is relatively cold, fortunately, Yi Jiuxiao has been on the battlefield for a long time in her previous life, and she will not have stage fright at all, but it is Huang Sheng who is nervous.

"Where are you from??," a series of questions, a cold voice spat out from Liangyu's mouth, but it still sounded crisp and pleasant.

"Master Hui, I am from Luowu Mountain in Kaizhou, I am an orphan, and I know how to dance. ”

Singing and dancing originally had nothing to do with Yi Jiuxiao, and he had never practiced in his previous life or in this life, but Huang Luo thought that his martial arts were similar to dance, so he could only say that it was dance.

"Dance art, then show me a piece, do you want a soundtrack?"

Kabuki's dance performances usually have to be soundtracked and dance to the rhythm, so that the dance looks smoother and more charming, but Yi Jiuxiao's martial arts are not the same as that dance at all, so he replied no.

The interview hall was very empty and bright, with a thick carpet on the ground, Yi Jiuxiao tightened his belt, tied his sleeves and trouser legs, walked to the center of the interview hall, hugged his fist at the hall master Liangyu, and then sank his waist and tied his horse, he wanted to play a set of Qingyan boxing.
