263 Clouds Fall in Different Time and Space 2
The so-called testing ground is actually in the ancestral hall of Lingshan. There was a large test bench, and the test bench was already full of people. Ling Xi looked at it one by one, and the older one should be the Great Elder who came to test. The one sitting in the back may be the son of a rich family, and the one sitting in the front who is dressed luxuriously must be the man in the royal family who has a marriage contract with him. These were not the things that Ling Xi was concerned about now, the thick test bench was the main target of Ling Xi's observation.
The test bench has a circular shape with several grooves at the top. There are also a few around. The grooves are about the same size as the palm of a human hand. I guess put my hand in the groove. The next few are small holes, and you can put your feet in... The moment Ling Xi walked into the ancestral hall, he looked around. At this time, the people sitting around the high platform were indeed excited.
"Hey, the Heavenly Immortal is here, but it's okay, Young Master Ben paid 10,000 taels of silver to the Ling Family Manor, and this Young Master of Heavenly Immortal has bought it. ”
"Young Master Qiu, you are not authentic, this son is the gold paid, and this immortal gift has already been spent, and the gold of this princess cannot be spent in vain. ”
"Cheng Gongzi, there is also a ratio between gold and silver, whoever has more will get it. ”
When Young Master Qiu and Young Master Cheng were arguing, the person in the royal family at the front coughed heavily and said: "Everyone, the fairy beauty is still the quasi-princess named by this prince, if you want to buy it back, you have to take care of the family affairs of this prince." ”
"Yes, the third prince, it's the grass people who have overpassed. The few rich children in the back lowered their voices and continued, seeing that the prestige of the third prince was not very high.
Ling Xi looked at a few scumbags coldly, Young Master Qiu was chubby like an old rich man, and Cheng Gongzi was obviously the kind of profiteer who was so profitable that even his parents could betray him. And the so-called prince who looks like a dog is the kind of waste that has not laid a good egg from the nest. How did his predecessor get married to him?
"Stop talking, everyone is a bystander today, and when you enter the ancestral hall of your ancestors, you are all juniors, and there is no difference in status. All actions should not be performed until the test is over. An old man who was obviously a leader said, and when the ancestral hall was quiet, he continued: "Elder Ming, Ling Xi is the girl you have always guaranteed, and today is also her last test, after today, Ling Xi can be finalized." Whether she can go down the mountain depends on her creation. You have any objection to that. ”
"Great Elder, Ming has no objections. ”
"Ling Xi, the others have gone to warm up, you didn't do this in previous years, and Elder Ming has always guaranteed that you don't need this warm-up cultivation test. What is your opinion this year. If it's the same as in previous years, then you can start testing now. ”
"She doesn't need it (I need it this year). Elder Ming and Ling Xi said together. After saying that, not only Elder Ming was stunned, but even several elders and bystanders were also stunned.
"Do you need?" didn't Elder Ming explain the warm-up cultivation process to you?" the Great Elder asked as if he was looking at Ling Xi.
"This Miss Ben wants to hear what the Great Elder is explaining. Ling Xi said beyond the topic. I didn't get any information in the memory of the original body, did Elder Ming say before, what is the specific content of this warm-up practice, Ling Xi didn't know at all, this feeling was very bad, she wanted to turn passive into active.
"Alas, you children, you are all like this. However, in the past, you always listened to the guarantor's advice. How are you a transsexual this year? ”
"Great Elder, this is Ling Xi's last test, and Ling Xi wants to fight once. Great Elder, if you bother to give Ling Xi an explanation. ”
"Okay! ambitious, like your mother. The so-called warm-up practice is to walk around the belly of the spiritual mountain below the ancestral hall. The hour is fixed, you're already a long time late, and it's estimated that those who have seen the test have already walked half the way, and it's hard to say if you can get the mark of clearing the ten levels. Ming, you send her into the passage. The Great Elder said with some surprise and admiration.
Elder Ming was very puzzled and walked into a door with Ling Xi, Ling Xi very much hoped that Elder Ming could say something. Elder Ke Ming just sighed in an uncertain mood, pointed to a hole and told Ling Xi that there was the entrance, and when the time came, those who participated in the warm-up cultivation would be automatically sent out, and then the next step of the test would be carried out according to the imprint obtained. Ling Xi really wanted to open the eye of the sky once and take a good look at the person around him who guaranteed him, time did not allow, and he didn't know what the ten levels inside were. I had to bow my head and enter the hole without hesitation, and my eyes suddenly became dark, and I vaguely saw that it was a downward staircase, and there was a stench from the bottom of the stairs that made people's stomachs uncomfortable. Ling Xi opened his eyes at this time, and only then did he see clearly that the steps were wriggling, and they were all coiled pythons, I really didn't know that the consequences of stepping on the python's body would be a divine horse?
Ling Xi silently recited the incantation for a while, the wriggling python was quiet, Ling Xi needed to step on the python's steps to raise his breath, and soon went down to the bottom.
"I passed the first level of the courage test and got good results. Standing on solid ground, there was a sound behind him, and there was an extra mark on his wrist. It seems to be on the armor of the ability hidden in the skin. Ling Xi didn't have time to look when he noticed a slender girl sitting not far away, so he walked over and asked.
"Miss, this is just the first level, why don't you leave?"
"Sister, my legs are so weak that I can't stand up, how can I go. Sister, aren't you afraid?"
"I'm afraid. My sister is even more afraid of being married to a terrible family, and compared to her future, these fears are nothing. Ling Xi knew that any encouragement was pale here, and only by hitting the sore spot could he arouse the primitive courage of human beings. Sure enough, Ling Xi's words made the paralyzed girl stand up.
"Sister, you're so right, those bystanders in the ancestral hall are all people who come to buy gifts. If Xing'er can't go down the mountain, he will be bought directly, and he doesn't know what his future fate will be. Even if the stars are climbing, they have to climb out. ”
"Xing'er, have you been here for five years?"
"How can Xing'er have her sister's mother-in-law who is rich, Xing'er's mother-in-law can only make up enough expenses for two years, and Xing'er didn't even pass this python step last year. ”
"This is the python steps?" Ling Xi asked in surprise.
"Don't you know this sister, our guarantor will tell the guarantor, the guarantor will get a gratuity when the guarantor goes down the mountain, which is much more than a simple guarantee. So they really want us all to pass the test. ”
"Of course I know, my sister was in a hurry to walk down just now, and I didn't have time to take a closer look. So that you don't know to be afraid. ”
"Sister, that's what you said, Xing'er has recovered, let's rush to the second level. Even if Xing'er doesn't say it, my sister can see it, and I also heard from a sister last year, she didn't dare to go over last year. ”
Ling Xi pulled Xing'er and walked very fast, if it weren't for her, Ling Xi would have to use spells herself. Just now she opened her eyes and looked at Xing'er once, this girl is simple-minded and upright, and she is also a hard-working person, which is also one of the reasons why Ling Xi wants to help her, coming to this different world, Ling Xi urgently needs friends, to learn more about this place, and to gain a firm foothold as soon as possible.
Soon we came to the second level, where a colorful river looked from afar. There is a small bridge on the river that is not very wide, so it is possible to walk side by side, and it is no problem to walk alone. Before I got to the river, I saw two girls, a boy looking at the river in a daze, and he didn't want to go over at all.
"Sister, this is the second pass. Sister, did you notice, there is no water in the river, it is a lot of colorful light emitted by small snakes, those are very poisonous snakes, although they will not fly up to bite people, but many people who cross the bridge are still frightened back halfway, just like the three people over there. Xing'er said and asked Ling Xi as he walked up to the three people.
"Do you still want to cross the river with us?" the two girls shook their heads ignorantly, only the girl and boy were still staring at the colorful river in confusion. When Ling Xi was far away, he already knew that it was not the little snake that stopped them, but the soul light emitted by the little snake. The two girls were too complicated to be more damaged by the Soul Light, and the boy was more to protect them. Ling Xi moved his finger slightly, and the boy instantly sobered up and said to himself, "Why did we get back to this side of the river, the hour is almost halfway over, what can we do?"
"Childe, if you are still grinding here, the hours will pass even more. Let's go. Ling Xi just wanted to help this boy.
"Miss, you call me Childe, I, Zheng Yang, have grown so big, and it's the first time I've been called Childe. ”
"Brother Zheng Yang is the concubine of the family, if he can be sent to Lingshan, Brother Zheng Yang's mother should also be favored. Xing'er said in understanding.
"So what, I still don't deserve to be called Childe, I can only be called by name. Zheng Yang said dejectedly. Ling Xi was shocked in his heart, in this dynasty, the status of concubines and concubines was so low.
"Gongzi Zheng Yang, people live for themselves, not for others, what is called is just a code, and nothing can be proven. Ling Xi said solemnly.
"Miss, your point of view is very novel, can we concubines and concubines still live a different life?"
"Of course, we can't choose our background, and we can choose the path we will take when we grow up. ”
"Miss, can Zheng Yang know your name, Zheng Yang is not abrupt, he just wants to recognize Miss as his sister. My sister's thinking is different from other people's, and Zheng Yang can get different life experiences from my sister. ”
"Okay, my name is Ling Xi. ”
"Sister Ling Xi. Zheng Yang and Xing'er called together.
"Sister Ling, you can't look down when you walk on this bridge. will be disturbed, and do their own confused things, like I was pulled back by the two of them in a daze just now. ”
"That's what your guarantor said. Ling Xi asked.
"Of course, it's just that these things are tacit, and the Great Elders also know that they don't care. ”
