Sirius Thirty-Six's time of day and night is not the same as that of Middle-earth, but in this small city, there is the blessing of the formation, and the day and night cycle is still very similar to Middle-earth. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
Although he was beaten with a blue nose and swollen face, Zhao Zhong still got up early, after all, today was the day to test the spirit root, and Zhao Zhong didn't want to miss it.
After Zhao Zhong freshened up, he stood in front of the mirror, looked at himself who was a little deformed in the mirror, and took a deep breath, as if encouraging himself.
"Spiritual Root Test ......"
But a mouth has no confidence, but becomes uneasy.
Monks, the most unfair and yet fairest class of the very few in this world.
A monk can only be one out of ten thousand, but he is destined to be different from ordinary people. A life with a high starting point is destined to be a different life trajectory.
But this is the fairest thing, the monks are like God throwing dice, and no one knows who will be the lucky one, maybe a down-and-out beggar, maybe a fashionable celebrity, and it seems that it has nothing to do with blood.
Fourteen years old is a recognized watershed, generally speaking, if the age of fourteen has not been firmly out of the spiritual root, then it is basically no chance to be a monk, and you can completely plan the life of a mortal.
Of course, there are a few exceptions, but the odds are even more pitiful.
So now Zhao Zhong is very worried in his heart, this time can be regarded as his last chance.
In the square in the center of the small city, hundreds of people gathered early, most of them were adults, and there were only fifty or sixty children, among whom there were about ten children of Zhao Zhong's age.
Seven of the children gathered together, it was the children who had a fight with Zhao Zhong yesterday, and the fat man's face was still a little swollen, but he looked lighter than Zhao Zhong.
The other children of the same age and younger looked at them with frightened expressions, and they all distanced themselves from the seven children.
And these seven children also found out their reaction, and their faces were a little proud, so that they could not hold back the joy on their faces to open up the situation in a new place.
But there was still a little haze lingering in the hearts of the seven people, and several children looked around in the crowd, but they didn't find Zhao Zhong's shadow.
"Didn't that guy come, or did he hide?" said the fat man, with some disappointment.
"Hmph, I'm afraid I don't dare to come out. The short boy said mockingly, "It is also considered that he is clever, otherwise I would have beaten him once and again until he had obeyed." ”
"Yes, I can't run sooner or later. The fat man said resentfully, and touched his swollen cheeks, and his mouth hurt so much that he couldn't help grinning.
"This kid is ruthless enough, next time you move your hand first, you can't let this kid keep beating me. ”
The fat man proposed to the others, and the others all had embarrassed expressions on their faces.
"What are you afraid of?" a tall man immediately reacted and said proudly, "There are many of us, and sooner or later we will clean up his clothes." ”
The children nodded quickly, and the six men except the fat man played there to see who was the unlucky one.
When the six children drew lots and the results were out, three adults, two men and one woman, came up from the high platform in the square, all of them ordinary people, and the man in the middle was holding a huge sapphire in his hand.
After the three people appeared, the originally noisy square suddenly fell silent. The middle-aged man holding the orb in his hand was also very satisfied with this, coughed, and began to speak.
"It's not the first time you've seen this kind of scene, and it's not that complicated, so let's get started. It's still the same as before, just put your hand on it, and the one who can make the gem shine flow is a monk. ”
"Although it is basically hopeless to say that the fourteen-year-old can't be identified, but as long as you can still walk, you can come up and try it, no one can say anything about shit luck, but children first. ”
After the middle-aged man finished speaking, he also laughed for a while, and the test began quickly.
The first to come up were not children, but adults in their twenties and thirties, although it is unlikely, but who does not have a dream. On the contrary, the children were a little nervous, and they were a little afraid to go up one by one.
But the adults who went up one by one retreated a little embarrassedly in the burst of laughter, which made the square really lively.
The people laughing below are not malicious, and after laughing at others one by one, they can't help but go up and try it.
This kind of blue orb for identifying the spiritual root is not very scarce, many people have the last one, but there is no such standard as this time.
Many people wake up every day and touch this gem at home, maybe one day their world will be different.
After the adults had their fun, children of all sizes lined up in a small line, including fourteen or fifteen-year-olds and babies still lying in their mother's arms.
All the children who can understand something have more or less nervous expressions on their faces, and adult men and women no longer go to join in the fun, but look at this row of children with some emotion, although many people have just come to Sirius 36, but everyone has experienced a similar scene, and they will inevitably sigh that they are no longer young.
The seven children lined up at the front of the line early, and soon Zhao Zhong also appeared in the square, a few pieces of tape on his face, covering the bruises, but he could still see that he had been beaten.
Zhao Zhong's appearance quickly attracted the attention of the seven children, and they all threw threatening glances at Zhao Zhong.
Zhao Zhong also glared at them fiercely, turned around and slapped the back of the team, in front of him was a little girl less than ten years old, shaking her ponytail and looking very nervous.
The little girl felt that the braids seemed to have touched someone, and when she turned around, she saw Zhao Zhong's face with several pieces of tape, and she was stunned for a moment with her beautiful big eyes.
Zhao Zhong smiled at the little girl, but didn't say anything, this little girl seemed to be new here, and Zhao Zhong didn't know it.
Soon the team began to move, and there was no exciting news coming from the front. Zhao Zhong was not surprised by this.
Since Zhao Zhong didn't remember, his father took him to participate in the test, and now Zhao Zhong doesn't know what the so-called Guanghua circulation looks like, and the people who presided over the appraisal have been boiled away by themselves for several waves.
The seven children in front of them quickly retreated, standing not far from the line and sighing, and their mood was extremely bad.
"Don't leave anyone this time, grab that kid and get out of your breath. ”
The fat man proposed to everyone, and he was beaten by the fat himself, which made him more and more angry.
"Good. ”
The others agreed in unison, just in need of a punching bag.
"Then you have to hold on, don't patronize yourself for fun. ”
The unfortunate child who was selected said a little weakly, he felt that he could not be unlucky today.
"Don't worry. I didn't expect that kid to come to this last time, and this time I won't let him get it easily. ”
The rest of the children comforted one by one, and then they all threw extremely unfriendly glances at Zhao Zhong, the meaning was obvious, you are going to die today.
". Zhao Zhong also quickly noticed the unabastic eyes of the few people not far away, and scolded secretly in his heart.
"It's not a good day and it looks like it's going to have a way to slip away. ”
Zhao Zhong thought about it and sighed helplessly.
Soon the team was in front of Zhao Zhong, and it was her turn after the little girl in front of her finished the test, which made Zhao Zhong very nervous, after all, the fourteen-year-old watershed was about to cross.
But it seems that the little girl in front of her is more nervous than herself, and she has been holding the sapphire with her hands for more than ten minutes and refuses to let go, which makes the three people who presided over the test embarrassed.
"Little girl, it is enough to put your hands on it for more than ten seconds. The middle-aged man said to the little girl very kindly, "It's useless for you to cover it up with a chicken." ”
"Maybe it will light up in a while. The little girl was not ready to let go, she said stubbornly, and tears began to appear in the corners of her eyes.
"You're still young, and you have a chance, or my sister will give you a similar one later, and you can go back and keep trying. ”
The woman in her twenties who was in charge of the test walked over and picked up the little girl, where she comforted her.
This woman Zhao Zhong knows, and she usually calls Aunt Song, seeing that she calls herself a sister to a little girl, Zhao Zhongxin wonders if she should change her name.
However, Zhao Zhong didn't care about the little girl's delay, he was similar before, but he didn't drag on for so long.
Finally arrived at himself, but Zhao Zhong wanted to go back. But gritting his teeth, Zhao Zhong still put his hands on it, but pinned his head to the side, not daring to look at it.
But this time he turned his head, Zhao Zhong saw the malicious expressions of the seven people.
But the menacing expressions of the seven men disappeared immediately, turning into a shocked face, and quickly distorted, as if their jaws were about to fall.
And looking at Zhao Zhong, there was no trace of ferocity in his eyes, but like a sheep waiting to be slaughtered, he began to tremble.
Zhao Zhong was very surprised, but then he thought of something, and his heart couldn't help beating violently.
At this time, there were bursts of exclamation all around, and the square quickly exploded.
Zhao Zhong turned his head extremely excitedly, and found that the azure light shining from his fingertips was not bright, but it had never been seen before.
And inside the sapphire at this time, it is as if there is a ball of blue water swirling in it, which is gorgeous and abnormal.
