Volume 1: The First Gathering of the Five Spirits Twenty: The Mind of the Money Tide

In the bronze carriage, there were already many young people sitting on the futon in the main hall, among which there were several more little girls.

Every time a child comes up, it will inevitably attract the attention of the children in the other halls, at this time, Qian Chao and Tang Ping will also look at the newcomer, Qian Chao will say that this is from the family, and that is not from the family, and then Tang Ping either nodded or shook his head.

The candied fruit is no longer eaten, the two children can't eat much, and there is almost no topic for chatting, and everything delicious and fun is almost exhausted.

Speaking of which, this is the first time that Qian Chao has shown no trace and deliberately narrowed the relationship with another person.

The reason is very simple, these children who have boarded the carriage one after another and entered this hall, although they are not very old, but they look like those young masters are dressed up, all of them are rich and chic, and they are not bad, and there is a heroic spirit in the corners of their eyebrows and eyes. And those girls and young ladies are all dressed up with flowers and moons, luxurious clothes and ornaments, graceful and colorful, and they are surrounded by beautiful clothes between walking, which makes Qian Chao, a rich man, a little ashamed of himself.

In fact, this is not Qian Chao's original temperament, but firstly, he has a little bit of awe of this cultivation world, and secondly, when he first entered this carriage, his mind was shocked by the hall in this carriage, so now whenever he sees a person from a cultivation family, he has a little more cowardice in his heart.

Seeing that there was no one next to them talking and laughing, Qian Chao understood that those were all children of a family of cultivators, but he laughed at himself, the grandson of the prime minister, and his original illustrious family background was probably like a mustard in front of these people.

Therefore, Qian Chaocai wanted to get closer to this Tang Ping, first, this Tang Ping knew a lot, and she could know a lot of things in this cultivation world from her mouth; Second, Qian Chao is still a child in the end, he reads a lot but has little experience, his mind is still insufficient, and there is still a desire to make friends with the powerful in the world.

Just when the hall began to get more and more boring, Tang Ping suddenly said to Qian Chao: "Do you know how to play chess?" ”

"Yes."

"That's good."

As she spoke, Tang Ping took out a chessboard and placed it between the two of them.

"Hand talk?"

Tang Ping wrinkled her little nose and looked at Qian Chao with a smile and asked.

Qian Chao noticed that Tang Ping had a few small freckles on both sides of her nose that were not obvious.

"Are you sure you want to play chess with me?"

"Don't you dare?"

Tang Ping grabbed a handful of chess pieces and fell back into the chess bag with a crackle.

"Of course not, I'm afraid you'll cry when you lose."

"Hey, brag."

Tang Ping wrinkled her nose again.

"Let's not just play chess, we need a little bit of luck, come, give you a taste of this."

As soon as he stretched out his hand, there were several light brown dried fruits with hard shells on it.

"What is this?"

Qian Chao picked one up and put it in front of him.

"Hazelnuts?"

"Even hazelnuts are hazelnuts you haven't eaten, you can taste one and you'll know."

There was a small crack on the hard shell, but unfortunately Qian Chao did not have enough strength to break it, so he had to bite the hazelnut with his teeth. He covered his cheeks and rubbed it, looked at the milky white kernels that were not easy to peel, sniffed, and then put the nuts in his mouth and chewed them.

"Well, it's delicious, I've never eaten such a delicious hazelnut, but the shell is too hard to open. Eat a few more, and your teeth will fall out. ”

Tang Ping laughed, laughing very cunningly, with the pride of a little trick, the two bright big eyes smiled into two curved moons, very good-looking, Qian Chao looked at Tang Ping while chewing hazelnuts, no matter how he looked at it now, he felt that Tang Ping looked like a little fox who had succeeded.

After laughing enough, Tang Ping picked up a hazelnut and said to Qian Chao: "It's very simple, I'll teach you." ”

As he spoke, he used his fingers to pick off a pedicle-like thing at the bottom of the hazelnut, and then pinched the hazelnut with two fingers and pressed it a little harder, and with a snap, the hazelnut cracked, which was easier than Qian Chao biting with his teeth I don't know how many times.

Tang Ping picked up the nuts again and showed them off in front of Qian Chao.

"This one, called tin hazelnut, is a specialty of my hometown, and it is not available anywhere else."

As soon as he finished speaking, the nuts in his hand were snatched by Qian Chao and thrown into his mouth, and then he picked up another one and opened it.

"I take this hazelnut as a lottery head, you take your candied fruit as a lottery head, at the end of a game, we count the chess pieces, I win a few pieces, you give me as many candied fruits, you win a few pieces, I will give you as many hazelnuts, how about it?"

"Then I will suffer a great loss, my candied fruit is much bigger than your hazelnuts!"

"Hey, my hazelnuts are also very good, they are all so big, and they are all fed with medicinal herbs before they are fried, such a big hazelnut is more expensive than such a big silver cake."

"Okay, then I'll suffer a loss, come, play chess."

"Come, hurry up, hurry up, I'm going to win all your preserves!"

"Hey, you won't just have three hazelnuts, won't you lose, and you won't have hazelnuts for me?"

"Why, look, there's still half a bag."

In this way, the two of them began to play against you, a son, and a son.

Qian Chao found that Tang Ping's chess was very good, although she looked at herself with a smile and then casually fell into the move, but it was not a simple matter to win her, which aroused Qian Chao's desire to win, knocking on the chess pieces and carefully pondering the situation on the chessboard, and the pieces began to be careful.

After a few games of chess, each has a winner or loser, Qian Chao has a small pile of hazelnuts in front of him, and Tang Ping simply hugged his food box in front of him.

Most of the other children who entered the carriage hall were either nervous or excited or scared, of course, there was no change after coming in, Qian Chao could stare at the chessboard with one eye and the crowd with the other, without delay, he knew that they should be children of some big families, because they had seen the world, and there was no panic at all.

When Li Jian entered the carriage, Qian Chao noticed him, at first he almost thought that this young man was also a child of a family, but he quickly denied this idea, he was sure that this young man who was older than himself was from a similar background, but it should have been a big change before boarding the car that made him not very interested in everything around him.

"There's going to be a fight." Qian Chao looked at the chessboard and said to Tang Ping.

"Where?" Tang Ping looked at Qian Chao and asked.

Qian Chao gestured with his gaze, and Tang Ping noticed Li Jian who walked in.

At the age of thirteen or fourteen, he was tall and strong, with an indifferent and thoughtful expression on his face, and most importantly, he carried a long sword on his body, which attracted the attention of all the children present the most.

"His background should be similar to mine, but he is a military general."

Qian Chao guessed. He saw several young people who were about the same age as Li Jian staring at Li Jian, with a look of unconvincing and hostility.

"They're going to be beaten"

Tang Ping watched a few young people surround Li Jian with a little excitement.

Li Jian found a futon in a corner and was about to sit down to rest, but just as he was about to sit down, he saw a delicately textured satin boot on the futon, and looked up to find several young people about the same size as himself, looking at him with contempt and ill intentions.

Of course, Li Jian, who had seen the big scene, didn't take these little guys in his eyes, and when he had just experienced the big war and said goodbye to his loved ones, he didn't want to listen to the noise of these guys at all, so he stepped directly on the face of the young man who was stepping on his futon, and his movements were crisp and neat.

The young man who was kicked was originally going to be proud and wanted to say a few words to intimidate Li Jian, but the other party didn't even bother to say anything and started to fight directly, and when he kicked it, he felt that he was hit by a sledgehammer in the face, and rolled backwards and fell.

The few boys who came with the kicked teenager were stunned, they had never seen this kind of guy who hit people directly without saying hello, and they were just about to shout and rush upward, when they saw Li Jian get up a few more feet, still one person and one face-on, they didn't even bother to stretch their hands, and in the blink of an eye, several young people from the family who surrounded them were kicked down.

Li Jian found another futon and sat down on the same place, leaned back, and began to close his eyes to recuperate, no longer paying attention to the few guys who fell to the ground.

The children of the family who were kicked down were really ashamed and ashamed, their faces were in pain, and their nosebleeds were flowing down, but they didn't dare to take revenge, that guy was too powerful, and several of his own people were definitely not opponents, so they had to flee back in the scorn of everyone with shame and hatred, but a big sole mark on one person's face made them dare not even raise their faces.

"Wow, that's amazing!" Qian Chao looked at it and praised.

"Alas, the tail of the hand is not clean, and there will be trouble in the future." Tang Ping said so.

"Will there be trouble? Could it be that they were beaten, and they would dare to provoke that person in the future? Qian Chao said.

"Although most of the children of those families are unbearable, but the family is the family, they still think that their background is much more noble than you, and that person's background, even if the children of the family are fighting fiercely, but when they meet a powerful guy like that person, they will still join forces to fight, that person just frustrated the spirit of a few children of the family, and there will definitely be trouble in the future."

Most of the children of the family are unbearable, and Qian Chao recalled in his heart what Tang Ping had just said. After silently reciting two sentences in his heart, his eyes became a little sharp, and he asked, "What about you, what do you think of a person from the world like me?" ”

Qian Chao looked at Tang Ping's eyes.

"Me?"

Tang Ping smiled, not minding Qian Chao's eyes at all.

"I'm an exception because ...... Alas, my experience is not the same as that of those children over there, so I don't like them or like them, but you probably don't think of me as the same kind of person. ”

said that Tang Ping glanced at Qian Chao, and the look in that kid's eyes was interesting.

"Ah, the identity of the Wei family's son over there is also a special one, it's inconvenient for me to talk about other people's private affairs, you will know in the future, you see, the fourth prince of Wei has the intention to recruit that person, but I'm afraid that he will miscalculate."

Qian Chao looked over, and sure enough, a pair of eyes on the slightly pale face of Wei Gong, the son of the Wei family, were staring at Li Jian with a pair of eyes, not knowing what he was thinking.

Qian Chao suddenly thought of the situation where Li Jian taught those three people a lesson just now, why did these children of the immortal family let a child from a world beat them, and they had no power to fight back, not only that, those people were beaten, and they were even afraid, no matter whether they retaliated in the future, why did they run away after being beaten just now? Don't the children of the immortal family know any spells?

Thinking of this, Qian Chao asked again: "Why are the children of the family so vulnerable, shouldn't the children of the cultivation family be more powerful than ordinary people?" ”

"How can it be, the children of the family are just better than ordinary people in terms of qualifications, ordinary people may not have a few generations that can practice, and the family has many children of each generation who can practice, and often the qualifications are not bad, so as to ensure the continuation of the family, but before there is no practice, they are all ordinary children, and they can't be beaten."

Speaking of this, Tang Ping looked at Qian Chao again: "I'll tell you a little secret of the family again, do you want to hear it?" ”

"Say it!"

Qian Chao is naturally willing to listen.

Tang Ping leaned forward slightly, her voice was not loud, but Qian Chao could hear it clearly: "In fact, among the children who boarded this carriage, children from the world like you are lucky, and the children of the family are relatively unlucky, do you know why?" ”

"Of course I don't know! Let's talk about it. ”

Tang Ping sat up slightly straighter, glanced at the surrounding family children, and whispered to Qian Chao:

"Because they're all losers!"

"What?"

"If you have the chance, you can ask the children of the family whether they would like to go to the Five Spirits Sect or stay in their own family, I can guarantee that most of them will be willing to stay in their own family. As for the reason, they did have good qualifications, but there were better ones in their family, so they were abandoned by the family and had to go to the Five Spirits Sect to practice. ”

"I don't quite understand what I mean."

"How easy! The Five Spirits Sect is very large, but there are even more monks in the sect. Therefore, the offerings given to the cultivators are certainly not as generous as the offerings made by a small family to a potential descendant nephew in their own family. The qualifications of the children of the families who come here are not bad, but the qualifications of those who stay in their respective families and focus on cultivating them will definitely be better, or these children have good qualifications, but their aspirations are not good, and the family is worried that they may become disasters when they grow up.

The average family must keep the best qualifications as the future head of the family to cultivate, and the poor qualifications but peace and loyalty are used as the future backbone of the family to cultivate, only these, or the qualifications are poor, or unruly, difficult to educate, and it is not suitable to stay in the family to be sent to the Five Spirits Sect, so as not to cause trouble in the future. ”

Qian Chao understood it, but another question soon popped up.

"That'...... Zongmen, why would they take in these people? ”

"Well, it's also simple, the Five Spirits Sect is so big, beyond the imagination of ordinary people, not to mention the number of monks in it, these children come to the sect, if they still come by their own temperament, then I don't know how much suffering they will suffer, after a long time in the world, they will learn to be obedient.

Besides, even those who have poor qualifications and are unwilling to endure hardships will naturally be slowly eliminated and ignored.

But in addition to the qualifications and hard work, the practice also pays attention to a chance, who can know that the children here will not produce a knot, you must know that once you enter the sect, the exercises we practice, as well as the daily offerings, are all from the sect, and their previous family has nothing to do with it, so how many children from a family have a future in the future, and they only think about the good of the sect, and they have been staying in the sect to serve. ”

I see, Qian Chao understood.

"There's one more question."

"You say."

"Why do those families send their children to the sect, even if they have bad qualifications or are naughty, if they don't let them practice, they won't be able to get it, and they won't worry. Sent over like this, it is inevitable that some of these people will have a grudge against their own family, if such a child has a future future, wouldn't it be for his original family...... Isn't it good? ”

"There's no way around this, you look at the people here, but anyone who comes from a family, no matter how powerful his family is, is also attached to the Five Spirits Sect. Again, the Five Spirits Sect is so big that it is beyond your imagination, these families are close to the Five Spirits Sect, and they have to form an alliance with the Five Spirits Sect, one of the conditions is that every few years, they will pick some of the children in the family and send them to the sect, and they will have nothing to do with the family from now on. That's why they sent all those who were poorly qualified or difficult to educate to the sect. Of course, the sect will also give these families a lot of benefits. ”

I see.

Qian Chao was very curious at this time, how big can this Five Spirit Sect be?

Thinking of what Tang Ping said just now, these children may be a scourge in their respective families, he couldn't help but glance at Tang Ping, he didn't know what the spiritual root qualifications of this girl were, but seeing her sharp eyebrows, she must be a scheming person, and after chatting for a while, he also felt that this girl was not a calm character, but somewhat similar to the scourge she said.

didn't hold back, Qian Chao asked Tang Ping again: "What about you?" Does your family also think you are a scourge? ”

Hearing this, Tang Ping glanced at Qian Chao.

"Of course not! As I just said, those are all for you men, but women are different, and it is a good thing that women can go to a big sect to practice. ”

"How?"

"It's simple, the secular world knows that girls are outgoing, and the cultivation world is similar, there are not many families who are willing to spend a lot of effort to cultivate their daughter's family, no matter how good the female monk is, she will find a Taoist couple to practice with in the future, that is, the marriage between the world, if the family has cultivated the capital but marries out, then the inheritance of the family may be leaked, and the second is that if you marry out, you will naturally rarely serve your own family. Therefore, women who stay in the family to practice generally do not cultivate very well, and women who can often be sent to the sect to practice can have a good life, understand? ”

"Oh, that's it!"

Qian Chao nodded, glanced at the girls sitting together, and sure enough, those little ladies were chattering, and the corners of their eyebrows and eyes were more or less arrogant.

was watching, but I didn't want to be hit by Tang Ping on the head, and I saw Tang Ping sneering: "Have you seen enough, it's time for you to get down." ”

Qian Chao had to hate a piece, and he wanted to eat a few more of Tang Ping's chess pieces.
