Chapter 5 Date of Selection
A shadow stone one zhang long and five feet wide was erected on the wharf, and the location was excellent, and the ships coming and going on the Yuzhu River could see this huge shadow stone from a long distance. Even the best craftsmen in Artisan Town were still amazed when they saw this shadow stone. Cultivators may be able to find a natural shadow stone to polish and make a shadow stone that is still as large. Mortals can seamlessly connect small pieces of shadow stones to achieve this size, which cannot but be said to be a masterpiece of ingenuity.
is such a peerless masterpiece, on the first day of the opening, the eyes of the ground were shattered.
Four good-looking, well-dressed women appeared on the Shadow Stone one after another. Pure, cold, literary, coquettish, are clearly the four top brands of Jasper Building. At the end, a line of big words appeared: Jasper upstairs to explore the spring red!
What do you mean? These four are all Qing people!
The guests who come and go from south to north on the Yuzhu River have remembered the Jasper Tower, and if they are not in a hurry, the guests are willing to stop and climb the Jasper Tower to fill the emptiness of being away from home.
Jasper Building, the business is booming, and it has become the overlord of the entertainment industry in Artisan Town.
......
On the eve of the triennial selection of the Thousand Machines, Lin Bo had insomnia. I couldn't fall asleep after tossing and turning, sat up and glanced at Lu Xiaoyi, and at my hand full of blood bubbles, I couldn't help but smile slightly. This guy sleeps so soundly, and he salivates for a long time.
This night, Lu Xiaoyu had a dream, a strange dream. A huge tortoise shell, shining with golden light, hovers overhead. There is a Tai Chi pattern inside the tortoise shell, and there are nine dice. There are also vague words on it.
On the seventh day of the seventh month of July, Lu Xiaoyi's birthday, since he was six years old, every day he will have the same dream, and the dream is clearer and clearer every time. This is the seventh time, and the first time I had this dream, I saw a blurry golden light.
As for birthdays, the wet nurse told him after he woke up from his first dream that he should never tell anyone about his birthday and this dream.
What does this dream mean? Lu Xiaoyi couldn't figure it out, and he didn't have the heart to think about it, because he was woken up, and then Mei Jinyun carefully cleaned it up, and kept admonishing him.
In fact, the selection process is very simple, it is two steps, passing through the spiritual gate and exploring the Yuan vein. The spiritual gate measures the degree of development of the spiritual root, and the Yuan vein refers to the condition of the veins that must be passed after the spiritual energy enters the body.
The vast majority of people have to kneel in the first step, and incomplete statistics show that for every 100,000 people, there will be a person with a spiritual root development degree of more than 60%. As for exploring the Yuan Vein, in most cases it is just going through the motions, but it does not rule out the unlucky egg with a 1 in 10 million probability that the Yuan Vein is naturally blocked.
........................
There are many sites to choose from, and Artisan Town is just one of them. There were less than 100 people participating in the selection, and a hundred Yuan Qi Stones was a huge amount of money for the vast majority of ordinary people.
Meng Qingqing, Lin Bo, and Lu Xiaoyi, who signed up at the last moment, got the last three numbers and ranked last in the line.
This is an opportunity to change their fate, and Meng Daqiang and Mei Jinyun are waiting outside.
Knowing that it is useless to be nervous and cannot change any result, the three of them will inevitably be nervous, and they will not speak very well. The spiritual gate is ahead, and if you step over, you will have the opportunity to change your fate.
A young man walked out dejectedly, and another unlucky guy who spent a hundred yuan qi stones but fell on the closing of the spiritual gate.
"No, I want to cultivate the truth, please, I have money in my family, I have a lot of money, let me pass. ”
A fat boy was dragged out by two men in black robes.
One day when it was very evil, before the three of them, there were no boys and girls who could pass the test.
The trio witnessed all the failed boys and girls leaving in front of them, or being dragged away.
"Sixty-sixth, Meng Qingqing!" Finally, the verdict of fate came. Qingqing's first reaction was to look back, and what she saw was a Lu Xiaoyi who was always smiling and encouraging.
The spiritual gate is shaped like a door, and there is a pillar made of unknown material on the door frame. Normally, the column is transparent and has a scale on it. When someone stands up, a pillar of green liquid will appear inside the pillar that rises slowly. Compared with the scale above, if it exceeds sixty, it will be considered a pass.
Cultivating truth requires money and talent.
Stepping through the spiritual gate, Meng Qingqing closed her eyes and waited for the verdict of fate. Dididi, after three crisp prompts, Meng Qingqing was already slumped on the cushion in the door.
Five steps away from the door, there was a chair on which a masked man sit. Looking at Meng Qingqing, who was paralyzed because of excitement, the man made a gesture, and two maids came to help Meng Qingqing down and walk inside.
"I'm over?" Meng Qingqing finally returned to his soul, and the maid replied expressionlessly: "Sixty-nine percent of the spiritual root has developed." ”
Sun Muxian is in a good mood, Qianjimen is in the middle of the Xiuzhen Realm Sect, and one or two disciples can be selected in the annual selection, even if it is very lucky. As the master of the door, Sun Muxian knew very well that selection was just a formality. The work of selecting talents mainly depends on the observation of the probes who are distributed in various places. The selection is nothing more than giving mortals a seemingly fair chance, but in fact the probability is extremely low.
When Lin Bo stood on the mat, his legs were weak. His eyes were staring at the carved pillar, and the green liquid column slowly rose, and when it finally broke through sixty, Lin Bo couldn't stand anymore and sat down on the mat.
Sun Muxian secretly applauded his luck, but there were only sixty-eight places, and there were two children with spiritual roots over sixty. This sixty-seven, the spiritual root development has actually reached seventy-five.
After successfully passing the spiritual gate, Lin Bo had a feeling of being reborn. Uncontrollable pleasure, he subconsciously glanced back, and was slowly walking towards the spiritual gate of Lu Xiaoyi. A thought came to his heart, how would he face himself after the selection was over? Thinking of this, Lin Bo's mood became more and more happy.
Sun Muxian thought that this selection was like this, and the last teenager stood on the mat.
Lu Xiaoyi was also very nervous, and when he stood on the mat, he was open-minded. It's okay, it's not okay, it's not okay, it's already doomed. While being happy for Qingqing and Lin Bo, Lu Xiaoyu closed his eyes.
The next moment, with a pop, Lu Xiaoyi heard the movement and opened his eyes, and saw that the pillar next to the door seemed to be broken. A green liquid is spraying out from the top.
Sun Muxian originally picked up the teacup very calmly, and when he was about to end this selection, the top of the Spirit Exploration Pillar was washed away by the spiritual liquid, and the spiritual liquid gushed out. There is only one result of this phenomenon, and the innate spirit appears.
Before Lu Xiaoyi could react to what was happening, Sun Muxian had already appeared beside him, grabbed his arm, raised his foot and took a step inside, the feeling of flying clouds and fog had not disappeared, and he had already appeared in front of a flat boulder.
There was a handprint on the boulder, Lin Bo just pressed his hand on it, but Sun Muxian reached out and grabbed the back collar and dragged it away, without saying a word, Lu Xiaoyi, who was still confused, pressed his hand on the handprint.
Lin Bo, who was pulled away, looked at Lu Xiaoyi dumbfounded, not knowing why, and the jealousy in his heart was uncontrollable. Is this guy really better than me in everything?
A red light followed Lu Xiaoyi's arm upward, and Sun Muxian trembled with excitement. But the next moment, he was suddenly stunned, staring at the red light that stopped on his shoulder, and walked around Lu Xiaoyi for a while, and couldn't help but roar: "What's the matter?
The innate spirit body is the best cultivation attribute, and when Sun Muxian thought that the development of the Thousand Machine Gate was about to begin, a basin of ice water was poured in front of him. The probability that the innate spirit body is 1 in a billion, and the probability that the Yuan pulse is not connected is also a 1 in 1 billion probability. These two probabilities are concentrated in one person, and God really knows how to play.
The gap from ecstasy to despair was too big, and Sun Muxian couldn't believe that it would be such a coincidence.
An old woman flashed out from behind the Yuan Yuan Mirror, stood in front of Lu Xiaoyi, and reached out to touch his body. As soon as he touched it, his hand bounced off as if it had been burned, and he sat on the ground with his butt and said to himself, "How can this be?"
Sun Muxian asked eagerly: "Blind aunt, what is his situation?"
The old woman looked up, and Lu Xiaoyi saw that her eyes were collapsed inside, indicating that her eyeballs had been gouged out. At this moment, the blind aunt was shocked, shook her head and screamed: "Divine punishment! This is divine punishment! Quick, see if there is a birthmark on his buttocks!"
Lu Xiaoyi was stupid by this series of changes, Sun Muxian waved his hand, and the cloth on his buttocks turned into fragments and scattered all over the ground. Lu Xiaoyi stretched out his hand to cover it in shame and anger, but was slapped by Sun Muxian with his raised hand.
"Yes, there is indeed a birthmark on the left side, which looks like a bead. ”
The blind girl sitting on the ground slowly stood up and said, "That's right, this kid is so good, the gods are jealous of him." ”
I don't know why, when he heard this, Lin Bo, who was standing on the side, was ecstatic.
Behind the Tanyuan mirror, Sun Wanwan's veiled face flashed out, and when she helped her blind aunt to walk back, Sun Muxian looked up to the sky and sighed: "Heaven won't help me Qianjimen!"
The body of divine punishment, the Yuan vein is blocked, eternal life and eternity, and there is no chance to cultivate the truth. What do you mean? Xiuzhen has nothing to do with you!
Divine punishment, that's it!
