Chapter 3: The Mystery of Life (Part II)
On the huge square, the clansmen have begun to test in front of the spiritual power tower one after another, "Lin Li, 15 years old, 4 floors. "Lin Ran, 16 years old, 3rd floor. The elders in charge of the test in the clan shouted out the number of towers lit up by the spiritual power of the clansmen, and there were many people from outside the clan gathered in the square, they were all children of ordinary families in the city, because ordinary people could not have such a treasure as the spiritual power tower, so after they cultivated, they would make choices among the major families in the city, not only to test the spiritual power, but also to be selected by these big families to give cultivation resources and let their families live a good lifeγ
"Lu Xing, 14 years old, 6th floor!" The crowd suddenly fell silent, followed by a gasp voice, "14 years old is 6 floors, so powerful, this foreigner will definitely be appreciated", "So delicate, how can there be such a good-looking boy." "Some of the girls in the clan are starting to become nymphomaniacs. The crowd was filled with voices of amazement and envy, and even some of the elders present had bright eyes, and it seemed that they wanted to include this person in their disciples.
"Quiet, quiet, I haven't seen the market one by one" The eldest elder of the clan suddenly spoke, after all, it is the Lin family's school, and the eldest elder still wants to save face. The Great Elder looked at the other elders who had a small calculation in their hearts, and then looked at the surrounding clansmen with adoring expressions on their faces, and shook his head helplessly, "You go down first, after a while, you and other foreigners who are within the age of 16 and have more than 4 layers of spiritual power, go to the hall and be screened." β
Lu Xing hugged his fists and walked off the field, I don't know if it was a coincidence or deliberately, Lu Xing walked to Lin Xiao's side, and bowed slightly towards Lin Xiao, Lin Xiao was stunned, this sudden friendliness made Lin Xiao a little excited, after all, Lin Xiao was just a 15-year-old child, he had been ignored and even ridiculed for a long time, and he was still a little wooden in the face of friendliness, he nodded towards Lu Xing, wanting to say something, but he was embarrassed to speak.
Both of them began to watch other people's tests as if nothing happened, at this time it was Lin Yue, the lady of the Lin family, I saw the corners of her mouth raised, like a proud peacock on the stage, the eyes of the crowd were looking at her, there were worship, envy, and more admiration, Lin Yue seemed to enjoy the feeling of being in the spotlight, and slowly put his hand on the spiritual tower, at this time, the spiritual tower was full of light, and began to light up layer by layer, "eight layers" and "eight layers" , When the spiritual power tower just lit up the 6th floor, there were suddenly two whispers in the crowd, the sound was so low that almost only he could hear it, but the two people who made the sound were in the same position, and when they shouted out, they found each other, but before they could speak, they heard cheers from the crowd one after another, "Miss Lin Yue is so amazing!, she has reached the 8th floor", "Lin Zun also has the spiritual power of the 8th floor, he is the first person", " Miss Lin Yue is only 15 years old, and she has reached the 8th layer of forest, which is much more powerful than Lin Zun, Lin Zun is 17 years old after all. The crowd was unsparing in praise, but they couldn't get into the ears of Lin Xiao and Lu Xing, they looked at each other, both trying to read something from each other's eyes.
"Before Lin Yue's test, did she tell you her strength?" Lu Xing was the first to speak, she thought that Lin Xiao and Lin Yue were both members of the Lin family, and they might have talked about it in advance.
"How is it possible, no one in the clan wants to talk to me. Lin Xiao laughed self-deprecatingly.
"Then how can you tell that Lin Yue is on the 8th floor?" Lu Xing broke the casserole and asked to the end. "How do you know?" Lin Xiao was not to be outdone, stared at Lu Xing tightly, and asked directly.
For some reason, Lu Xing was so determined by Lin Xiao, as if he was a little flustered, and turned to the side directly, "I guess, do you believe it?" However, it stands to reason that you should test it in front of Lin Yue. Lu Xing pretended not to care, and said this casually, seemingly casually, but his voice was very low, and his eyes stared at Lin Xiao as if he were nothing, wanting to see Lin Xiao's reaction. Seeing Lin Xiao's sluggish expression, Lu Xing seemed to be very satisfied with the result, and said to Lin Xiao: "When the test is over, I should stay in your family, and we will talk slowly when the time comes." After finishing speaking, he turned his head in the direction of the school field and ignored Lin Xiao again.
At this time, Lin Xiao's heart had already stirred up turbulent waves, and in a trance, he felt that there must be a big secret in this matter, why couldn't he cultivate? Was it a dream before? What is the origin of that egg? These questions kept appearing in his mind over and over again.
Carefully observing the later tests, Lin Zun's appearance, everything is the same as the so-called dream before, and even the intimate conversation between Lin Yue and Lin Zun is not bad at all.
The test ended soon, Lin Xiao seemed to have been forgotten, and was not called to test, people gradually left, those with high test levels went to the hall to gather, Lin Xiao felt bored, and was ready to return to his yard, on the way back, Lin Xiao always felt that someone was staring at him, whenever he had this feeling, his qi sea would have a slight throbbing, as if prompting himself, but now Lin Xiao, although he can cultivate, but for the clansmen, he is just a useless waste, thinking that if the other party really wants to kill him, he can't hide, so he just doesn't careand walked straight back to his small courtyard.
As soon as he walked back to the courtyard, the old housekeeper waited in the courtyard, and before Lin Xiao could speak, he took the lead in speaking: "It's not in a good mood, it's okay, we're not worse than others, you can go out for a walk and relax." β
Originally, there was nothing strange about this remark, but now Lin Xiao was thinking about what he had seen and heard recently, and suddenly heard the old housekeeper's liking, and instantly there was a sense that the old housekeeper wanted to take him away. Could it be that the old housekeeper wanted me to take the initiative to go to the cave in the back mountain? Lin Xiao thought secretly, today's experience is basically the same as the last one, the difference is that he did not go to the test, and a stranger appeared-Lu Xing, so it stands to reason that he should run to the back mountain with grief and anger.
Thinking of this, Lin Xiao decided to test it himself, so he followed the old housekeeper's words and said with a little crying: "Why can't I be like them, I also want to cultivate, and I also want to become a strong person." Lin Xiao's acting skills are still good, after all, he has suffered enough grievances, and if he thinks about a few sad things, he can bring out his crying and his eyes are red.
"Can't you cultivate yet? I mean, you give me a little energetic today, and I thought you were injured in the last competition, so you found a way to cultivate. The old butler seemed to explain the first sentence.
Lin Xiao pretended that he hadn't heard the old housekeeper's gaffe, and said stupidly: "It shouldn't be, I've practiced a little in the past two days, and I feel that there are some changes, I wanted to try this test, but I didn't let it go." Lin Xiao deliberately said something that he might be able to cultivate, wanting to see if the old housekeeper would ask him in detail.
But unexpectedly, the old housekeeper didn't ask himself, just took Lin Xiao's hand with one hand, patted Lin Xiao's wrist with the other, and comforted: "It doesn't matter, even if you can't cultivate, you can live like the old man and me." β
Although Lin Xiao was different, he didn't say anything, he hummed lightly, and said goodbye to the old housekeeper, saying that he wanted to go out and be quiet, and the old housekeeper readily agreed. also gave Lin Xiao some silver coins, Lin Xiao didn't ask much, took the money with a happy face, and left the courtyard with a little joy, ready to go out and think slowly.
Seeing Lin Xiao leave, the old housekeeper smiled and said to the air next to him: "You are too cautious, aren't you just a little doll that has not dried up, a few silver coins will make him happy, and it will be difficult to become a big deal." As soon as the words fell, the air next to him slowly distorted, and then a figure appeared, as soon as this figure appeared, it gave people a sense of otherworldly beauty, dressed in white and snow, temperament like orchid, pure white skin like snow, clear eyes like glass, green silk like a waterfall, bright wrist frost, tall figure, a kind of beauty that makes people willing to fall to hell.
"Zuo Protector is a little underestimated when he says this, I feel that this little guy has already noticed something. The woman in white pursed her lips and smiled.
"It's impossible, you may be too careful, I don't believe that this little thing can make any waves, but I feel that he already has a little spiritual power, maybe our choice is right, if it's really him, then we can become the characters of the demons calling the wind and rain, hahaha." The more Protector Zuo spoke, the happier he became, and he laughed unconsciously.
The woman in white looked at the left protector and said, "Don't take it too lightly, isn't there a problem on the bone monster's side?" Not only did he lose the sacrifice, but he was also injured by the masters, but the sacrifice chosen by the ancient monster seems to be more likely to be true than ours, and it is said that the sacrifice can already light up the 6-story spiritual power tower. β
After listening to the words of the woman in white, Zuo Protector also said thoughtfully: "Actually, there is something very strange, when Lin Xiao was talking to me before, a master wanted to stun Lin Xiao, but his attack was blocked by me, why did Lin Xiao faint, this made me puzzled, I also checked, Lin Xiao was indeed attacked by his divine sense, not pretending to be stunned." β
"It's kind of interesting. The woman in white slowly disappeared after speaking.
These two people who claimed to be demons stood in the courtyard so openly, chatting with themselves for a long time, and the people of the Lin family who came and went, at most, just looked at them, and they were still busy.
But Lin Xiao didn't know these things, after Lin Xiao went out, he walked aimlessly on the street, looking at these familiar street scenes, his mind was very confused, and he suddenly accidentally bumped into the person opposite, Lin Xiao quickly apologized, only to see that in front of him was a girl in a cyan skirt, Lin Xiao was the same age, but it was also a young girl, full of beauty embryos.
"Hmph, you don't walk long!" After speaking, he punched Lin Xiao in the chest, and then walked away. Lin Xiao thought about it, felt funny, and muttered: "It seems that the beautiful ones have a big temper, but that little fist pounded my chest, which is quite comfortable." After speaking, he subconsciously touched his chest, and found a small paper ball stuffed in the collar, Lin Xiao instantly became vigilant, and did not take it out directly, but continued to walk as if nothing happened.
The girl not far away, after seeing Lin Xiao's behavior, also nodded secretly, "Fortunately, she has a brain, otherwise it will be difficult." β
