Chinese After the long rainy season, the sky clears, and summer arrives all at once. There are a lot of cicadas that can be picked up on trees and behind rocks, and the life of these little things is extremely short, so they have to take advantage of this limited good time to complete the meaning of their survival.

When Qiuqiu was squatting there to take care of a hibiscus flower, she saw a very complete cicada moult hanging under the hibiscus branch.

Qiuqiu pinched it with her hands.

The translucent cicada was completely moulted, and nothing was broken except for the slit on its back. In the sun, the cicada is light brown sugar colored, shiny, and very crystalline.

It must be painful when you molt, right?

This preserved cicada is a struggling, enduring form.

Qiuqiu was a little in a trance, dazed.

Since coming to the Purple Jade Pavilion, she has a feeling of trance from time to time.

Some people laughed at her for this.

The aura of the outside world is thin, and the purple jade pavilion is a unique place, and the aura is abundant. When others come here, they will become more intelligible, but she is better, but she has become more stupid.

Qiuqiu couldn't tell what she was in a trance.

It's just that sometimes, I feel that some scenes seem to have been seen.

People mostly feel that way.

I haven't been to a place before, but the first time I go, I feel a sense of déjà vu. Some of the things that are happening, but it seems that they have happened a long, long time ago, and there is a trance of reliving old dreams.

It's just that Qiuqiu's feeling is a little more frequent than others.

A person walked over beside him, stretched out his hand and pinched a hibiscus flower that had just bloomed.

She was wearing a cherry-red shirt with a collar like lotus leaf petals, and a large piece was hollowed out on her back, revealing snow-white skin.

It's pretty good. It is...... Qiuqiu felt that the clothes were a little more exposed.

Qiuqiu stood up and saluted, "Senior Sister Suyun." ”

Although she didn't formally apprentice, she was also a member of the Purple Jade Pavilion, and seeing these formal disciples, she naturally had to be called.

"What are you doing here?"

Qiuqiu was still holding flower scissors in one hand and replied to her: "Cut flowers." ”

"What about the hand?"

Qiuqiu was stunned for a moment and stretched out her hand.

"Pick up a cicada."

Su Yun's face showed a look of disgust: "This thing is so dirty, it's about to be thrown away." ”

Qiuqiu hesitated, Su Yun had already reached out and knocked the cicada off, and then stepped on it.

The cicada was crushed by her foot.

When she left, Qiuqiu lowered her head to look at the cicada that was too broken to pick up.

Su Yun made a heavy shot just now. The back of her hand was swollen and red.

This world of cultivation is not a peaceful paradise.

The sun had risen, and sweat was dripping down his cheeks from his forehead, and it didn't take long for his collar and back to get all wet.

Finally finished cleaning up this piece of flowers. Qiuqiu put the flower scissors back in the basket.

Too thirsty.

Qiuqiu pondered, and tomorrow I will put the teapot in the basket and bring it together. How many sips you can drink.

From afar, she saw the door open. Someone is walking through the door.

She was a woman who looked graceful from a distance, and she walked in first, followed by several little girls, all of whom looked like they were only five or six years old, seven or eight years old.

Is this the disciple to be accepted this year?

The last one was smaller, and he couldn't walk steadily, and he had to be led. It's about the same age as when my little sister left home and went up the mountain to apprentice.

Qiuqiu felt a little embarrassed.

It's as if everyone signs up to go to elementary school, but everyone is the standard age, but she is already the age of middle school, but she sits in the same classroom as a classmate with a group of children. Let's start from scratch.

This doesn't have to be found awkward by others, she will feel awkward herself.

She has passed the most suitable age, and her qualifications are not very good, maybe she is not as good as those children who learn fast and learn well.

If you really go to school, you will have to give your parents a training when you go home for a duck egg, and maybe you will have to give a beating. But if she doesn't study well here, will she be able to go home? After returning home, Xiucai and Xiucai Niangzi will definitely break their hearts for her.

Alas, how can it be so difficult for people to live.

Qiuqiu guessed correctly, the little girls who brought back were really preparatory disciples from all over the country this time. Qiuqiu quietly inquired about a doorman, and the person's name was Su Xun, who was more amiable.

Qiuqiu asked her quietly: "With so many little girls here, can they all be accepted into the door as disciples?" ”

"How can it, some have mediocre qualifications, and some have unsuitable temperaments, at least half of these people can't be used."

"Then, if you can't get started, where should you go?"

Su Xun glanced at her, understood her thoughts, and smiled.

"You're worried that you won't be able to apprentice, right?"

Qiuqiu nodded.

"Don't be afraid, you were sent by the predecessors of Xuannuguan, and I won't refuse to accept you. Every year, there are some disciples with poor qualifications, but they can't learn any advanced mental methods, they can only learn a little superficial introductory mental methods, and then do miscellaneous work, and there is a place in the door. ”

Qiuqiu thought, isn't that the same as she is now? It is to do chores during the day and fall asleep at night.

It's not impossible to live such a life.

"There are also some children who can't be taken in, and they will be sent home." Su Xun said: "But many people don't have a home...... Either they are orphans whose parents have died, or they have been rescued by the masters and uncles after several hands from the hands of human traffickers, and they have nowhere to go, so they will also stay in the sect. ”

Since there are so many people as companions, Qiuqiu is not worried.

There are people in the sect who are so temperamental and difficult to get along with, and there are also people like Su Xun who are more amiable, and when they are usually fine, ask her about some things, and she will explain them in detail one by one.

Su Xun asked her, "Do you want to get started?" ”

"Of course." Qiuqiu said: "I'm just afraid, I don't have that condition, even if any master takes me in, I will smear the master's face." ”

Su Xun smiled.

"Don't be afraid. Everything in the world is about fate. If you have the relationship of master and apprentice, you will definitely be able to apprentice. I heard that you have a sister in Xuannuguan? ”

"Yes, my sister went up the mountain when she was three years old."

"Who is her teacher?"

"It seems to be Ying Tao's real person?" Qiuqiu really doesn't know much about this.

Su Xun nodded: "I've heard of it." That Ling Mei has a bright future. ”

Speaking of the little sister, Qiuqiu is honored: "No, I heard people praise the little sister for her talent, saying that she will definitely learn to be famous in the future." ”

Su Xun smiled again.

Qiuqiu is very eye-catching and doesn't bother others, people are not as good as her, and there are still a lot of things to do.

The next day, Qiuqiu and the other little girls who had just come to the Purple Jade Pavilion went to the back courtyard.

She had never been to this heavy yard, and she had been staying on the periphery these days, with a limited range of activities.

Qiuqiu thought, probably starting from this heavy yard. Will you come into contact with the real Purple Jade Pavilion, right?

It seems to be deserted here than outside, and even the flowers and trees planted are not as colorful and diverse as outside, and there are many crape myrtles planted here, and the flowers bloom so vigorously and enthusiastically, one tree after another. Not even the green leaves can be seen. The flower spikes look so beautiful, clustered together one by one. Look far away. Sure enough, it is like jade.

Qiuqiu didn't know why she was in a trance again.

She didn't know what she had just thought, but she always felt as if something important had slipped through her mind.

But she didn't know what she had thought of in that short moment.

Like a person? Or, is it a word?

Her stunned appearance was particularly conspicuous—for she was the largest and tallest of all the children who were brought in. If only she were as tall as everyone else. It wouldn't be so obvious to be in a daze.

The leader of the way looked at her, and said in his heart that no one would take her as an apprentice.

It's so inappropriate, it's really not their material.

Besides, he's too old.

No matter which sect it is, it is more willing to accept and train young disciples. In this way, their mental experiences are like a blank sheet of paper. You can teach it however you want. Like this, I'm already a teenager, and I heard that I've already decided to get married before, which is really inappropriate.

Qiuqiu had already done psychological construction for herself in advance, anyway, the chance of being selected was not great, even if she was not selected, she could continue to live in the Purple Jade Pavilion.

There is no need to worry about food and clothing here, there is not much pressure to survive, and there is no need to worry about any more monsters coming here to fight her idea.

But she still has a vague expectation in her heart.

How wonderful the world of cultivation was—she wasn't uncurious.

How can a person transcend all the constraints imposed on him by the mundane world and become an immortal?

People are born to abide by all kinds of rules, some of which are natural rules, and sometimes they are man-made rules. This world has drawn a line and a box for everyone, and everyone has to move forward according to this line.

Some people will try to cross this line.

Some people may succeed, but many more people fail.

The process of being inspected and selected was extremely simple, Qiuqiu and the others were just taken into a big courtyard, standing in a row, and those who were called by name stood one step forward, and then returned to the team when they were called to the next person, no one asked them questions, and they didn't even look at them more.

Qiuqiu was not surprised to lose the election.

She carefully buried that little disappointment in her heart.

But she couldn't sleep at night.

In the distance, the croaking of frogs in the pond was loud and low.

Qiuqiu thought, she probably really wasn't this material.

The little longing and dream that I had secretly embraced before has now proved to be just a fantasy.

Is it really that important to go this way?

Qiuqiu looked at the window a little confused.

The window was open, and you could see a glimmer of heaven while lying here, and the stars seemed to twinkle just as far as they could reach.

Her vague longing a few days ago was like this star, which seemed very close, but in fact, when she stretched out her hand, she couldn't touch it. (To be continued.) )

ps: I don't know when my finger broke, maybe I got it when I was chopping vegetables, and it hurts a little to type. I get up very early these days, and there are a lot of things to do during the day. Cat flutter Chinese
