I don't know how long the bronze carriage went, but the old man was still sitting in the carriage, looking at the black and oppressive city that was getting closer and closer in front of him.

"The capital of the Great Qi Kingdom, Wangjing, well, the momentum of this city is not small!"

This bronze carriage is on the official road outside Wangjing City, it is said that the shape and style of this car are very different from the carriage of this great Qi country, it looks very abrupt and eye-catching on this road, but whether it is pedestrians or carriages and horses on the official road, it seems to be invisible to this carriage.

Not only that, but whenever the bronze carriage approached, the bustling carriages and horses on the official road seemed to inadvertently give way to the side of the road, and only returned to normal after the bronze carriage passed. Neither the people who were driving the car, nor the people who were riding in the car, or those who were walking down and walking, did not even notice it.

Even the guards at the gate of the city, who were in charge of checking the pedestrians, could not see the bronze carriage, and they all gave in to each other, and after the bronze carriage had passed, they began to stop those who had gone out of the city and entered the city again.

After entering the city, the bronze carriage slowed down in the bustling flow of people on the streets of Wangjing, and after a few turns, it entered the neat and quiet street.

The street was unusually clean, there were no shops on either side, and the tall white walls stretched along both sides of the street, and it was obvious that the courtyards on both sides of the walls should be the residences of princes and ministers or wealthy families. The road outside this street is very bustling with people, but there are not even half pedestrians on this street, it seems that the family who is going to it is already waiting, and has already ordered the street to be cleaned in front of the door, and is waiting for this bronze carriage to come to the door.

Qian Mansion, the residence of Qian Jiangyun, the prime minister of the Great Qi State, is exactly where this bronze carriage is going.

The gate of the Qian Mansion has long been opened, with the power of the prime minister, on weekdays, only the emperor's next edict can let the Qian family open the middle door, and now not only the middle door is wide open, but the courtyard in the mansion is full of people, almost all of them are plain robes, waiting quietly there.

However, with Qian Jiangyun's powerful position, he can't stand in the first place in this crowd.

At the front of the crowd, there were two people standing.

At the front is a middle-aged man in a beige brocade robe with a little hair. Although this person was standing in the Qian Mansion, Qian Jiangyun, the prime minister, did not know him.

Standing behind him was a middle-aged man in a black robe and black beard, nearly fifty years old, with a thin face, this black-robed man was the great-ancestor of Qian Jiangyun, and he was a qi refining disciple of the Five Spirits Sect of the Great Sect of Cultivation.

Although Qian Jiangyun is a master of the sea of eunuchs, he doesn't know much about cultivation, originally this great-ancestor was regarded by him as a fairy-like figure, but today he saw that his great-ancestor was very humble to the person in the beige robe who appeared inexplicably, and he knew that this person must be an extraordinary person, neither daring to slack off nor dare to ask more, only waiting respectfully behind his great-ancestor.

The bronze carriage turned in front of the gate of the Prime Minister's Mansion, and went straight into the Prime Minister's Mansion, and the old man was still sitting on the carriage, and he didn't mean to get off the carriage at all when he passed the door.

"Here we are."

saw that Qian Jiangyun's great-ancestor immediately knelt down as soon as he lifted the front hem of his robe, and Qian Jiangyun knelt down when he saw it, and after kneeling, he glanced back, and saw that all the people in the black courtyard fell down.

The man in the beige robe stood in front of the man at first and bowed his hand to the carriage, but somehow, after trembling all over, he immediately lifted his clothes and fell to his knees.

The carriage stopped, and the old man got out of the carriage and walked over to the kneeling men.

When he came nearr, he heard the man in the beige robe speak:

"The younger generation Qi Guotian and Jia Tian Shuangzhi have seen their predecessors. The Tian family learned that the Five Spirits Sect was presiding over the first election for Prime Minister Qian's family, and the younger generation came to watch the ceremony. ”

The people of the Tian family! Why is the Qian family a choice, and the people of the Tian family also came to see the excitement, interesting, the old man thought in his heart.

Before he came out of the sect this time, someone in the door had told him that the Tian family of this Qi country was getting more and more powerful, and it seemed that some ideas that should not have also emerged, and the way of doing things was a little ugly.

It is said that there were originally four jade plates in this Great Qi country, but it has been less than three hundred years, and now there is only one piece left of the Qian family.

"Well, the Tian family really has a heart, please get up."

"Thank you, senior."

After the beige robe finished speaking, he got up and stood respectfully aside.

The black-robed middle-aged man kneeling behind him peeked at the old man who got off the carriage when Tian Shuangzhi spoke, and after seeing the old man's face, his heart was slightly relieved, and when he saw that the man from the Tian family had already stood up, the black-robed man was busy kneeling there and said loudly:

"The younger generation of the Five Spirits Sect and the Nine Xuanmen have seen Uncle Tang."

And when he had finished speaking, he prostrated there again and again.

I didn't expect that there were still people here who recognized themselves, and they were also disciples of the Five Spirits Sect, originally this old man surnamed Tang planned to let everyone get up, but now he couldn't help but look at the kneeling black-robed man curiously, and asked:

"I didn't expect it to be a disciple of the Five Spirits Sect, which of the Nine Xuan's senior brothers are you?"

"The younger generation is stupid, and he has never been included in the door wall by the seniors in the door, and he only walks in the teacher's gate."

"Hmm"

Old Man Tang nodded, but he found that there was a gray aura on the face of this Five Spirit disciple, so he secretly used his spiritual power to probe, and then frowned and asked:

"How did you get hurt in a good way?"

When asked like this, the person named Qian Shoulin had a miserable face and said:

"When the younger generation went out on business, he was injured by the spirits in the mountains, and it was difficult to make an inch of progress on the Great Road, so he had to ask Elder Jin in the door, and then returned to my Qian family from the sect, thinking that since the cultivation was hopeless, it would be better for this bone to enter the ancestral tomb in the future."

Old Man Tang sighed after hearing this, nodded and said:

"It's hard for you, get up, the old man doesn't like these red tapes, get up."

looked around and said to Qian Shoulin: "The old man has received this errand this time, there are many places to go, and you can't delay here, since your family has made preparations, let's start." ”

"Yes!"

(Selection)

Every 60 years, a Jiazi is only selected once, so it is called Jiazi.

If the selected children are taken away if they want to, it is really difficult to say what they will be able to cultivate in the future. Some of the children who were taken away will be sent back in a few years, and some have been repairing for more than 100 years, and don't they also come back with a body injury?

Look at that Qian Shoulin, he is injured at the root, although he looks like he is around fifty, but if you look closely, he has already appeared old between his eyebrows, but it is not eye-catching. You must know that he is already more than a hundred years old, and the penance of nearly two Jiazi is still empty in the end!

Speaking of which, it is not bad that he can escape with his life, how many monks have been in danger on the road when they go out, and there has been no news since.

Alas! Cultivation is not so easy!

If this Qian Slender Lin doesn't go to the sect to practice, he can't say that he is already a group of children and grandchildren in this rich family, enjoying the joy of family, even if he has already passed away at this time, it can be regarded as a lifetime in this world, how can he be as sad as now.

Thinking of this, Old Man Tang sat down behind the table that the Qian family had already prepared, and at this time, Tian Shuangzhi and Qian Shoulin stood on both sides. Only the prime minister, Qian Jiangyun, commanded his family in the courtyard.

Looking at the courtesy on Qian Shoulin's face and the courtesy of Qian Jiangyun, as well as the solemnity of the people of the Qian family who filled the courtyard, Old Man Tang sighed again in his heart, alas! It's a good thing that a family with a jade plate like this can still produce a child who is chosen!

Thinking of this, he glanced at Tian Shuangzhi who was standing on the side again, and said secretly, if the Qian family has no children selected this time, of course the Tian family is satisfied, I heard that the last time the first election, no one in the Qian family was selected, and looking at the appearance of this Qian Slender Lin, there are not many years of life, if he dies, the Qian family is afraid that it will not last long.

If that's the case, within this Qi country, the Tian family is really the only one.

Just thinking about it, I saw that all the children to be selected by the Qian family were already standing together in the courtyard, and there were really a lot of them, and there should be more than forty of them in a rough count, and they stood there timidly, and many of them turned back to look for their parents in the crowd from time to time.

Old Man Tang took out a book, turned to a page, and was about to look up to speak, when he saw Qian Shoulin step forward and respectfully present a jade plaque with both hands.

Old Man Tang took the jade plaque, inspected the lines on it, and then printed it on the book with a press in the ink, returned the jade plaque to Qian Shoulin, and said:

"Let's get started"

The first one to come up was a little girl, six or seven years old, she looked quite smart, but today's big battle of the Qian family seemed to frighten this little girl, kneeling in front of the old man Tang, the little girl seemed at a loss.

"Say hello to the Immortal Master." Qian Jiangyun saw it and said on the side.

"Say hello to the Immortal Master." The little girl listened to it and knelt down.

Old Man Tang nodded, then stretched out his hand, and there was an extra white greasy and warm Ruyi in his hand, he handed the Ruyi to the little girl, and said:

"Here, hold it."

The little girl was stunned, but she held the wishful hand according to her words.

In a moment's work, there was no change in the little girl's hands.

"Well, put it down." Old Man Tang said and motioned for the little girl to go back.

Qian Jiangyun saw that the little girl was still at a loss, so he waved her back in disappointment.

In this way, these children stepped forward one by one, kowtowed to the immortal master to say goodbye, and then held the wishful thinking in their hands, and then went back one by one.

Soon, more than thirty children had already been tested by Nayu Ruyi, but unfortunately, none of them were selected.

Whenever a child ran back to his parents in the crowd, Old Man Tang could hear a sigh from the crowd that he didn't know whether to be happy or regretful.

Old Man Tang also noticed that the Five Spirits disciple named Qian Shoulin, every time a child turned back, his face became more and more gray. and his junior, the one who was the prime minister, his face became more and more ugly.

Only that Tian Shuangzhi stood on the side, although he couldn't see any expression, but whenever a child was not selected, his eyebrows seemed to stretch imperceptibly.

Interesting.

However, according to the meaning of the sect, this Qi country cannot let the Tian family dominate, and I don't want to think about it, even if no one in the Qian family is selected this time, even if the Qian family finally disappears after more than a hundred or ten years, at that time, there can only be a few more jade plates in this Qi country, and the people of my Five Spirits Sect will still come to your Qi country to preside over the first election for them.

Don't go too far, even if you don't violate the taboo of the cultivation world by killing people according to the national law of the Qi country, if the sect really pays attention to it, I'm afraid that the entire Qi country will have to change its surname!

The old man thought as he looked at the remaining children in the courtyard, there were not many, just a few.

Until the last child came to the old man Tang to salute, there was still no child in the Qian family who could pass the first selection.

Qian Shoulin's face can be said to be extremely gray, and the wrinkles on his face are more prominent, he lowered his head, and his figure became more and more rickety.

This made the old man Tang a little unbearable in his eyes, he had prepared that if one of these children could see it, he would fulfill this disciple of the same sect, but unfortunately, although he had this heart, the children here were not useful.

Let's see how this last one goes!

This last one is Qian Chao, which is also the special arrangement of his ancestor Qian Shoulin.

"Say hello to the immortal master"

Old Man Tang saw a boy who looked to be eight or nine years old come to him and knelt down, and after saying goodbye, he knelt up straight.

What a transparent look! This is the old man Tang's first impression of the money tide.

This child's face can be regarded as delicate, and the most striking thing is his eyes, which are as bright as paint.

Old man Tang is a person who has achieved cultivation, this art of observing people is self-sufficient, and when he saw Qian Chao's eyes, he couldn't help but secretly praise in his heart, and said in his heart that this is a smart child, looking at the look in this child's eyes, he has only seen it in the eyes of his granddaughter.

But soon the old man Tang saw the clue, this kid is passable, and he is extremely smart, his eyes are bright, but there is a faint helplessness in his eyes.

Old Man Tang concluded that this child must be a precocious son, his thoughts are far deeper than ordinary people, and the weight of his thoughts is probably unmatched by the people of the Qian family present.

But the precocious son of a rich and noble family is probably not a blessed person!

In the eyes of the old man Tang, there was a faint smell of dust on this child's body. Well, this is not a very good thing, but I am afraid that this child is destined to die early, and then he will only let his parents be cut off.

Thinking of this, Old Man Tang raised his eyes and looked at Qian Shoulin, who was lowering his head, if this child was still raised in the Qian family, I am afraid that his life would not be long. At this time, he had already made up his mind that if this child had even a little spiritual root, he would take this child away, and with this child's intelligence, maybe he would be able to achieve something.

Even if there is no achievement, at least this child can escape this early death, and let this Qian family spend a few more years in peace, which can be regarded as worthy of this injured Wuling disciple who returned home.

Thinking of this, Old Man Tang said to the money tide in front of him:

"Come, hold this wishful thinking in your hands."

Qian Chao reached out and held the jade Ruyi in his hand.

After a moment, Yu Ruyi did not change.

Old Man Tang deliberately let Qian Chao hold it for a while, but the jade Ruyi still did not change.

Qian Shoulin was completely discouraged at this time, he lowered his head, his shoulders seemed to have collapsed, the whole person lost his spirit, his black robe trembled, as if the years of a hundred and ten years had found him all of a sudden, and the black beard on his face became gray, making him look even more old.

If no one is selected by the Qian family this time, then the next time will be sixty years later, with the remaining life span of Qian Shoulin, he will definitely not live to that time, and he will protect his Qian family for more than ten years at most.

When he dies, the Qian family will really be in turmoil, and the Tian family has been eyeing him.

What happened to the three families who had the same Jiaxuan jade plate as the Qian family before, how could he not know that the clan had all been killed, and the bloodstains were still in front of him. Outsiders only said that the three families were suspicious and disobedient, and they were impeached and imprisoned, and when they were convicted and sentenced, the whole country was shaken, and the onlookers were unable to get through.

How did they know that those three were just a few successive first selections, but no one was selected! Even if one of the three of them is selected, no matter how bad their qualifications are, their family will not suffer such a catastrophe.

The Qian family was not selected last time, and this time it is still the case, so who can guarantee that there will be a child selected next time? What's more, if the Tian family is playing a trick...... Alas, is the cigarette of the Qian family's ancestors really going to be cut off?

In this case, let these descendants make plans early!

Although Qian Shoulin had a sour mind in his heart, Tian Shuangzhi, who was also standing aside, was obviously different.

Tian Shuangzhi's eyebrows and eyes seemed to have been completely relaxed, the results of the Qian family's first election were not much different from what the Tian family had expected, before this first election, the Tian family had spent some thought on these children of the Qian family, and after finding that there were no children to see, they were relieved, and now they were waiting for the Qian family, a seriously injured and disabled qi refining cultivator, to die by himself, as long as he died, the Qian family would ...... Hum!

Only Qian Chao looked at the jade Ruyi in his hand, and he couldn't tell whether he was melancholy or relieved in his eyes, he was stunned, and when he understood, he looked at the old man Tang inquiringly.

Seeing the old man's signal, the child put the jade ruyi in his hand back again, gave a salute, and prepared to get up and go back.

"Slow"

The old man opened his mouth to stop the tide of money.

At first, he didn't pay attention to it, and he felt a little sorry in his heart, but when he was about to take back the jade Ruyi magic weapon, he found that there were some bright marks on the jade Ruyi.

This sentence was slow, but Qian Shoulin and Tian Shuangzhi were taken aback, and they couldn't help but look up.

Old Man Tang took the jade Ruyi, and with a flick of one hand on it, the bright marks disappeared, and he handed the jade Ruyi to Qian Chao.

"Come, hold hard, hold with both hands."

The smug look that flashed on Tian Shuangzhi's face just now was in the eyes of the old man Tang, and he couldn't help sneering in his heart, since the Tian family is doing things more and more out of line, then take this Qian family, use the Qian family, a child with low qualifications, to beat the Tian family, and see if your Tian family can understand the old man's actions today.

Qian Chao obediently held the jade Ruyi with both hands.

In the courtyard of the Qian Mansion, everyone was still talking about some subtleties, but now it was quiet, and people were all looking at the child kneeling there, looking at the jade Ruyi that he held tightly in his hand.

Old Man Tang nodded to Qian Chao, and Qian Chao handed the jade back again.

"This ......"

Qian Shoulin saw the change in Nayu Ruyi and didn't know how to speak.

On the jade ruyi, all the places that come into contact with Qian Chao's fleshy palms are shining with a layer of hazy golden light, and the other places have not changed and are still the same, at first glance, the ruyi looks like two golden handprints are printed.

Old Man Tang sighed in his heart, this child's spiritual root is really too bad, just between being dispensable, he has the intention to fulfill the Qian family, but I really don't know if it is a good thing for the child in the future.

Glancing at Tian Shuangzhi who was standing on the side, seeing that the color on his face was no longer as calm as just now, Old Man Tang still made up his mind in his heart.

"Between what is possible and what is not."

Old Man Tang said to Qian Shoulin.
