Chapter 27: The Chosen Assembly
"Sister Xi, why is the street so deserted today?"
Splendid City, which used to be full of people, is now unusual, with the doors of every house closed and the streets almost empty.
Aman, who was dressed in a purple dress, asked Feng Xi suspiciously, and Feng Xi didn't know why.
As soon as they came out of the inn where they settled this morning, they saw the scene in front of them, and they didn't react at the moment.
"Hurry up! Procrastinating, wait until we get past the Elective will be over! ”
The sudden shouting and scolding attracted Feng Xi's attention, and a man dragged his child out of the corner of the street, and hurriedly walked out of the city.
"The Electoral?"
Feng Xi touched his chin, revealing a thoughtful look.
It's no wonder that she doesn't know anything about it, the Spiritual Elective Society has only just emerged in recent years, and there is no record in the book, and in the past half a month in the city, she has spent most of her time in her room guiding Aman's practice, and rarely communicates with others.
"I seem to have vaguely heard the innkeeper mention that every April, the families in the city will work together to hold a spring hunt, and all cultivators who have not joined other families can sign up to participate, and those who perform well will be selected by the major families as the children of the outer sects......"
Aman thought about it carefully, and suddenly realized:
"Yes, the spring hunt is also called the Spiritual Election Society!"
"Sister Xi, let's go take a look too! It's definitely lively! ”
The two of them followed behind the father and son not far away, and when they saw them leaving the city, they got into a carriage, and Feng Xi also sacrificed red dust and took Oman to fly in the direction of the carriage.
More than ten kilometers later, the carriage pulled over, and Fengxi also landed in the forest not far away.
The eye can be described as a sea of people, at a glance it is all black and black heads, in addition to the people in the splendid city are all here, and many people from the surrounding towns have also come to join in the fun.
Feng Xi found a high place and barely saw that there was a large flat ground in the middle of the crowd, and there were tables of the same size neatly placed on the flat ground, and cultivators in light green uniform clothes were shuttling through it, except for the middle place, a group of young people and girls in ordinary clothes gathered next to each table.
In the middle of the middle there are three long tables placed side by side, in the middle of which there is a young man in a blue robe lying lazily on the table, as if he is not interested in this grand spring hunt, and the other two tables are sitting next to the gray-haired, serious old man, whose expression seems to be a little dissatisfied with the lazy behavior of the young man in the middle, but no one said anything.
Suddenly, several fifteen or sixteen-year-old teenagers appeared in sight, walking from the outside to the inside to the middle with flattering faces, and talking about something around the two old men, only to see that the two old men shook their heads, and several teenagers walked back dejectedly.
There is a dazzling white light curtain above the flat ground, as if there is some prohibition, a few children take advantage of the adults are not paying attention, curiously stretch out their little hands to touch the light curtain, fortunately the light curtain will not hurt people, just block their entry.
"Whew! Look at those few boys who don't know the depths, they also want to enter the three major families with their little catty! ”
"That's what Childe said! No one will be able to compete with you for that spot in the Lan family this year! ”
Feng Xi heard the sound of talking behind him, looked sideways, and saw a man about seventeen or eighteen years old, wearing a red and white brocade robe, with a slender sword pinned to his waist, followed by a small retinue who looked quite clever, and carried a big burden behind him.
"Who is the Lan family? I heard that the first family in Splendid City is the Qiao family! ”
On the other end, there were also people standing in twos and threes, Xu Shi also heard what the sword boy said, and one of them asked with some confusion.
"You know what!"
The young man with the sword looked displeased, as if he was too lazy to explain, glanced at the little attendant around him with his eyes, and exclaimed:
"Ason! Tell them which family is the number one family in Splendid City! ”
Hearing this, Ah Song put down his burden, arched his hands, and bowed politely before saying:
"A few of them must have come from another town, right? You don't know that this splendid city is headed by three major families, namely the Lan family, the Qiao family and the Jiang family......"
Ah Song talked in detail about the origin and relationship of the three families, and Feng Xi listened to it with relish.
“…… So, everyone in Splendid City knows who the real number one family in the city is, isn't it the Lan family! ”
"It's just that the Lan family has always been low-key, they don't like to show up, and the big and small things are handed over to the Qiao family and the Jiang family, this Qiao family also loves to climb the pole, and they all pose as the lord of a city when they go to large and small places to do things, plus they have vigorously recruited children from outside the door in the past two years, and last year the number of children in the door reached 100 people, and people who don't know the inside story think that they are the first family in Splendid City......"
When Ah Song said this, the young man with the sword seemed to be unable to hold back any longer, his thick eyebrows were horizontal, and he said:
"Humph! What about a hundred people, they can't beat the dozen or so outsiders of the Lan family together! ”
"That's what Childe said! People lie in the essence and not in the many! ”
That Ah Song seemed to be used to echoing the young man, and every sentence could be said to the young man's heart, which made his face look much better.
"That's it! Even the Lan family's worst cultivators in the outer sect are second-order great spirit masters, and the inner doors are even more third-order and above, where can their first-order spirit masters on the street be compared? ”
After that, he walked towards the light curtain in a good mood.
Feng Xi saw from a distance that the white light curtain rippled in layers at the moment when it was touched by the young man's body, but it allowed him to enter smoothly. But Ah Song was blocked outside, the master and servant seemed to have known that this would be the case, and they were not surprised, the young man turned back to Ah Song to explain a few words, and then walked to the field.
Ah Song was also prepared, put the heavy bag on the ground, took out a cushion-like item from it, and sat comfortably on it and waited.
"Brother Nie, let's go in too!"
"Okay."
The people behind him also walked towards the light curtain, and entered as smoothly as the saber boy.
Feng Xi glanced around, only to find that all the people around him who had some cultivation were walking towards the light curtain, and a few of them were blocked.
You can also hear a faint scolding:
"What's going on! Didn't they all qualify for five stars last year! How to ...... this year"
Feng Xi didn't hear the voice behind him clearly.
"Sister Xi, shall we go in and have a look?"
Aman was curious and eager to try. Walking in front of the light curtain, he carefully poked his hand out, and accidentally passed through smoothly.
Aman exclaimed excitedly:
"I'm actually qualified to enter!"
Under Feng Xi's guidance, she just became a six-star spirit a few days ago, but she didn't expect that this light curtain happened to be a six-star spirit person or above!
Aman was excited, and Feng Xi closed his eyes and touched the light curtain with his hands, feeling the pattern of the formation, and sighed in his heart:
It turned out to be a fourth-order auxiliary formation, which was really exquisite!
"Xiaoyi, don't look for it, maybe they have self-knowledge and don't have the courage to come to this Spiritual Election Society!"
A girl in a light green dress saw that Ye Xiaoyi had been looking around since the morning, as if she was looking for someone, and instantly remembered what happened in Guosefang half a month ago, and knew that she was looking for the two girls that day.
When Ye Xiaoyi heard this, the corners of his mouth turned up with a hint of a sad smile, and said:
"Who said they didn't dare to come! Isn't that there......"
