Chapter 2: The Spiritual Revelation Begins
When Ye Qing woke up, it was already dark.
The empty plate at noon on the small table has been taken away, and a new meal has been put away.
Ye Qing got up, didn't light the lamp, and took advantage of the moonlight that came in through the window to eat the already cold meal in one bite.
There was actually white jade chicken in the dish this time, although it was just some leftovers, but Ye Qing still ate it with relish.
It seems that today's dinner at the uncle's house is very rich, after all, tomorrow is also the day of my cousin Ye Jinlan's spiritual enlightenment.
After eating, Ye Qing walked outside the house.
The moon and stars in the sky are scarce, and the soft moonlight seems to shroud everything far and near with a layer of mist.
The tall towers and buildings in the distance seem more mysterious, and even the low bungalows where people live nearby look less dilapidated.
The family rules stipulate that you must be at least twelve years old to participate in spiritual enlightenment, and Qing is now at least twelve years old.
For tomorrow's spiritual enlightenment, Ye Qing is very much looking forward to it, only with the spiritual root, can he go further and become a spiritual cultivator.
Martial arts cultivation body, hard work and poor results.
Spirituality gathers the aura of heaven and earth in the body, and it can gather qi into a blade and condense qi into fire.
At this time on weekdays, Ye Qing would tie a sandbag and practice until the second half of the night, but today, she just sat quietly in the moonlight.
The days of anticipation, the closer they get, the more inevitably they are apprehensive.
I have to admit that this kind of emotion rarely appears in Ye Qing, and she faintly feels that tomorrow's spiritual enlightenment will be very exciting.
Early the next morning, more than a hundred children of the same age as Ye Qing gathered at the door of Ye Hall, waiting for the patriarch to preside over the spiritual enlightenment.
The Ye family is one of the four major immortal cultivation families in Chixin City, excluding the Ye family's industries distributed in the city, and the Ye Mansion alone occupies nearly one percent of the area of Chixin City.
The family members are also close to 10,000, plus the subordinate slaves, the number of people living in the Ye Mansion is probably more than 30,000.
Every year, there are more than 100 children.
If these children succeed in spiritual enlightenment, they can start a spiritual path and become valued by their families and relied on by their relatives.
If Lingqi is not successful, then there is only one way to continue to follow the path of martial cultivation, even if it is the first place in the Ye family's martial cultivation under some penance, it can only be regarded as the starting point of spiritual cultivation.
The children gathered in a pile, gossiping with their acquaintances, and their slightly childish faces were full of various expectations and nervous emotions.
Ye Qing also secretly exhaled a breath to soothe his mood and wait quietly.
Finally, the sundial needle on the sundial plate pointed to the hour, and the patriarch appeared at the door of Ye Tang on time. None of the children could see exactly how the patriarch appeared, maybe just a blink of an eye.
Everyone was moved to their hearts, and their hearts were surging, this was the means of the first master of Ye Mansion!
At this time, several family elders waiting on the side led everyone and saluted the patriarch.
The patriarch nodded slightly, and under the guidance of the elders, the children rushed in and entered the Ye Hall.
Ye Hall is the largest meeting hall of the Ye family, with a high roof and a wide inside, which can accommodate 1,000 people.
The first meeting hall built by the Ye family after moving to Chixin City was this Ye Hall. At that time, the Ye family was in difficulty, and the stones used in the repair of the Ye Hall were all low-grade, and the design was extremely simple, but the successive patriarchs never wanted to rebuild a council hall to replace it, and they all hoped that this simple council hall would make the clansmen not forget the hardships of the family's development.
Every child of the Ye family would come here when they reached the age of twelve, and the patriarch would personally enlighten them, and for those who did not succeed in spiritual enlightenment, this might be the only opportunity to come to Ye Tang.
In fact, not only the patriarch, any water realm master can enlighten others, the reason why the Ye family's ancestral training stipulates that the patriarch must be spiritually enlightened by the patriarch himself, is to let the senior management of the Ye family know which are the potential juniors for the first time, gather the strength of the family to cultivate, and avoid the division of the family, after all, the potential juniors represent the power of the subsequent development of the entire family.
"Children, you have all gone through two years of physical refinement, and now it is time to see if you can follow the spiritual path.
We are all descendants of the Ye family, whether you can become spiritual cultivators or not, you are all an inseparable part of the family, your growth needs the support of the family, and the growth of the family also needs your strength!"
The water realm master Hongyin poured ears, leaving an indelible mark on the hearts of these twelve-year-old children.
No one noticed that in the corner, Ye Qing did not show an excited look like others, but frowned slightly, because she didn't know why the patriarch's voice made her feel a little uncomfortable, and there was a faint rejection in her heart.
The old woman with an extraordinary temperament in front of her was the eleventh patriarch of the Ye family. Her head was full of silver threads, her face was wrinkled, but it was radiant, her body was straight and not at all old, and her demeanor was full of majesty.
The children all stood straight and waited quietly for the patriarch.
At this time, the patriarch and all the elders had already stood on the high platform in front of the hall. Next, the children took turns to take the stage one by one, and the patriarch held the spirit stone in his hand, and only needed to point to the void on the child's chest to complete the spiritual enlightenment.
The first few did not have spiritual roots, the patriarch did not speak, just shook his head slightly, and the elder beside her signaled that this person could leave, which made the atmosphere in Ye Tang a little tense.
The next few are finally three or two of them have spiritual roots, but the best ones are only three spiritual roots.
If there is a spiritual root, the patriarch will ask for his name, and at the same time, there are elders on the side who hold a jade slip to record.
Ye Qing was very lucky this time, the column she was in was the first column to receive spiritual revelation, and it was the turn of the young man in front of Ye Qing after a while.
This is a thin young man, Ye Qing knows that his name is Ye Han, because he was born weak, he only went to the martial arts training ground once two years ago, and he never appeared again, thinking that he had abandoned the path of martial arts cultivation.
Over the years, Ye Qing was surprised to find that she had gradually become a superior memory, the people she had seen were unforgettable, and the things she had experienced were still fresh in her memory, so although she rarely interacted with others, she remembered everyone she had seen.
The high platform is not enough for the children to be tall, and it is almost the position that can reach Ye Qing's chest. However, this height is a bit too high for Ye Han.
He propped his hands on the edge of the high platform, trying to support his arms with the help of a jump, but his arm strength was insufficient, and he kept jumping, but he could not support his arms.
Ye Han was at a loss, and Ye Qing could imagine the embarrassed expression of the young man in front of her behind her.
The audience was very quiet, most of the children were holding back laughter in their hearts, and being able to see such a funny scene at such a critical moment eased everyone's tension a lot.
Ye Qing was not in the mood to appreciate it, it was about to be her turn, and she didn't want to waste time.
So Ye Qing took a step forward, bowed his legs, and supported the thin young man with both hands.
The power from his feet allowed Ye Han to finally successfully prop up his arms, and then this power continued to rise, allowing him to easily climb the high platform.
The gratitude in Ye Han's heart at this time was really indescribable in words, he turned his head and looked behind him, it turned out to be a girl.
Thinking that his strength was weak, even a girl was inferior, Ye Han felt even more ashamed and inferior.
With his pale face, he smiled at Ye Qing and said, "Thank you." ”
Ye Qing waved his hand and motioned for him to hurry forward. The person who had just enlightened the spirit did not have a spiritual root, so there was no need to record the questioning, so the patriarch was already idle at this time.
Facing Ye Han, the patriarch still held the spirit stone in his hand, and pointed at the void.
The spirit stone suddenly became smaller, and the patriarch's unfazed face suddenly showed a touch of joy.
"Mizuki Twin Spirit Roots!" the patriarch's voice rang out.
