Chapter 2 Soul Measuring Roots

The second lady is from the Mu family of the four major families in the Eastern Regions, and the Mo family is attached to the Wangshan Sword Sect of the six major sects, and her father is a Yuanying elder in the door.

The two families have always had a marriage, and originally with her status, the eldest son of the patriarch, that is, the sibling brother of the second lord Mo Ningyu, should be the eldest son of the patriarch. However, when Mo Ning went out to practice, he met a woman who was a casual cultivator, and he was desperate to form a Taoist couple with her.

At that time, there was a lot of trouble in this matter, and all sects heard about it, and the face of the Mu family was unreasonable, and they couldn't quarrel for a while.

It is rumored that the second old man Mo Ningyu was shocked after seeing the Mu family, and Fei Qing did not marry, and it happened that the Mu family also had a good impression of the suave Mo Ningyu, which resolved the grievances of the two families.

At first, he was full of affection, and Mu was also carried away, thinking that he was devoted to himself. Now I think it's just because not long after he got married, he advanced to Yuanying retreat, and he didn't have time to mess with flowers and grass outside, and he didn't reveal his true nature as soon as he came out.

Even this family affair was just the most face-saving method negotiated between the two families, how could there be any love at first sight, but I hated that she was addicted to it at that time.

Xiao Ling has been with her since she was a child, and when that kind of thing happened, she thought she had betrayed her, so she injured her in a fit of anger and drove her away.

Later, I learned that this was the conspiracy of the Liu family, but it was too late.

Let her come back this time, just make up for the year, and never owe cause and effect.

That child came according to the rules of the Mo family, and if he had a spiritual root, he would stay here, and if he didn't, he would arrange for them to go to the family, so that they would not have to worry about food and clothing.

Here Xiao Ghost got on a small boat, and he didn't know which direction he was flying, and after about two hours, he stopped in front of a city.

The towering city walls were guarded by rows of monks dressed in uniform clothes, adding a bit of solemnity.

Above the city gate is engraved the word "Mocheng", and the pen is vigorous.

The name of this city is simple and crude!

"This is the city where the ancestral home of the Mo family is located. Her mother whispered in her ear.

followed the housekeeper in front of him, and many people greeted him along the way, and secretly looked at their mother and daughter by the way.

When they came to the mansion in the center, Mo Yu left after the doorman informed them, and a waitress who looked about thirty years old took them into the inner courtyard.

"Madame has instructed, and from then on, according to the concubine's share, it will be arranged for you in Haitang Courtyard. Wait until Miss finishes measuring the spiritual root this year before she will arrange the tooth sequence, and there will be an example at that time. ”

What she didn't say was that if this young lady didn't have a spiritual root, the mortal mother and daughter would not be able to stay any longer.

After entering the small courtyard, her mother took her to see the room first, and it was generally good, at least much better than before.

Xiao Ghost sat in his cabin in a daze, not knowing what to do.

"Is Miss here, the slave is Mingyue, and she is here to serve you. ”

"Come in. ”

It was a little girl about ten years old, with a round face, very cute, and carrying a food box in her hand.

"Miss, let's eat first. ”

"Where is my mother?"

"The sunny day has been sent, and the slaves and maids have come to serve the young lady and the concubine. ”

"Thank you. ”

"Miss doesn't have to be polite, it's an honor for us to stay in the house because of Miss. ”

Xiao Ghost walked to the table and took the dishes and chopsticks.

"Did you stay in the house since you were a child?"

"Slaves and maids and sunny days are all half-moon into the house. ”

"How much do you know about the situation in this house?"

"The basics are still known, what does the young lady want to know?"

"Tell me everything you know. ”

After Xiao Ghost had eaten, Mingyue had told the situation about the same, and there were only a few things she needed to remember.

The current patriarch Mo Poyin should be her grandfather. has a pair of sisters-in-law, twins, the eldest son Mo Ningxu, and the second son Mo Ningyu, who are her fathers.

The wife's wife is Mu, and she should be the 'miss' that her mother said. has a son Mo Zhiyuan and a daughter Mo Zhiya.

The other two concubines, her mother and Liu, also had children. The Liu family gave birth to a dragon and phoenix fetus, Mo Hao and Mo Yan, who were a few months older than Xiao Ghost.

After measuring the spiritual root in the house, it will be ranked into the tooth order, and Mo Zhiya only entered the family tree last year, line seven.

The young ladies and young masters of the other side branches who have outstanding spiritual roots can also stay in the mansion and get the top resources in the clan.

In general, how life is to see whether the spiritual root is good or bad, and everything is easy to say about good talents.

At night, Xiao Ling came to her hut, touched her head and said, "Ghost, let's live here first, and we can measure the spirit in two months." ”

"Mother, what if I don't have a spiritual root?"

"Nonsense, you're going to have it. Remember the words that my mother taught you, let the sunny day take the pen and paper, and you can also write. ”

Xiao Ghost watched her change the topic and avoid talking about it, she always felt sullen in her heart, she could feel the uneasiness in her heart, I was afraid that she was the only hope.

Putting this matter aside for the time being, Xiao Ghost looked at the pen and paper on the table, counting, it was the first time in her life that she picked up a pen, after all, she was too poor before.

I don't know what kind of brush it is, so that modern people who are used to fountain pens are not used to it, and the words written are crooked.

"The ghost wrote it for the first time, it's good, let's take our time, but you must recognize these words, and you will have to cultivate soon. ”

"Good. Xiao Ghost slowly silently wrote the words that came to mind, and for a moment the room could only hear the sound of the wick burning.

Outside, Qingtian gave a pen and paper and withdrew, and when he saw the mother and daughter in the room saying this, he asked Mingyue in a low voice, "Eh, what do you say if Miss doesn't have a spiritual root?"

Mingyue glanced at her, and didn't carefully distinguish who she was talking about, only replied, "No matter what, we just need to do what we need to do." ”

Qingtian turned his head stupidly, and didn't mention this stubble anymore.

Let's wait for this young lady to finish measuring the spiritual root, if not, she is trying to find a way, anyway, her father is also a little steward in the outer courtyard, so it's no problem to stay here.

Two months have passed, and Xiao Ghost has also understood the 'common sense' that she didn't understand before, for example, she can only call her mother an aunt in front of people, and her identity is called a concubine.

During this period, she met Mo Yan, the daughter of Concubine Liu, and she looked weak, but the words she said all hinted at an alliance with her, and Xiao Ghost was vague.

In the past few days, many young masters and young ladies have come from various families, all for tomorrow's spiritual root test, which can be regarded as a major event for the Mo family, after all, this is the reserve force of the family.

The Mo family has also been a talented person in recent years, and the momentum is very strong, and there can be a genius of Shan Linggen every few years, there was a Mo Zhiya last year, and I don't know how many good seedlings there are this year.

Early this morning, her mother called her up and put on the spring shirt she had made after coming here, wearing a water-green skirt, which was very beautiful.

"Ghost, my mother will accompany you today, you must not be late. ”

She was surprised to hear this, mainly because her mother had never gone out except to meet the lady on the day she came.

Xiao knows that she doesn't want to be eye-catching.

"Mother, I can do it myself, if you don't want to, stay here. ”

"That's not possible, today is your big day, my mother must go. ”

Hearing this, Ghost Xiao stopped talking and held her hand tightly.

The Linggen was in the Mo family's martial arts arena, and all the children stood on both sides, calling their names and stepping forward.

Seeing that the people were almost coming, the first patriarch stood up, "Everyone be quiet, the spirit test will start immediately, the four elders"

was called a kind-looking old man, smiling, making people consciously relaxed, maybe that's why he was allowed to preside?

The attendant next to him held a small notebook and called out his name, "Moy." ”

The first to split up was a little girl in sackcloth, who could see that she was scared, but she still pretended to be calm.

The fourth elder smiled and said, "Don't be afraid, just put your hand on it." ”

Only then did Xiao Ghost see that there was an extra octagonal disc in his hand, with a blank circle in the middle, and the eight corners around him were connected to the middle like a thermometer, like a large sunflower.

I saw the little girl put her hand in the middle, and then the black, blue, and green corners lit up, and the black and green ones rose less, and the blue ones rose about halfway.

"The three spiritual roots of Jinshuimu have a purity of 10, 56, and 15, which is not bad, and you can stay here to practice. ”

When the little girl heard this, she laughed at last, and returned to a woman.

"That's the spirit measuring disk, gold is black, wood is green, water is blue, fire is red, earth is yellow, and the other three are mutated spirit roots, which are purple thunder spirit roots, white ice spirit roots, and cyan wind spirit roots, these three must be single spirit roots. ”

Xiao Ling whispered in Xiao Ghost's ear, and she nodded lightly.

There were a few people who had no spiritual roots, all of them were depressed, and a little girl couldn't help crying, and her father was whispering to comfort her.

Now that Xiao Ghost has also better understood the importance of spiritual roots to a person, it is not an exaggeration to say that it is a step to the sky, so that she once again clearly understands that this is no longer the world she is familiar with.

If she didn't have a spiritual root, their mother and daughter didn't know where to go, and what would they do in the future?

So far, there is nothing she can do if she thinks about it, and she has a hunch that she will definitely have it, and she will not come to make soy sauce again, right?

Finally, about an hour, it was the turn of the people of the family.

The first to go up was the grandson of an elder, who was born thinner and whiter than the others.

The disc lit up with red and yellow, of which red was the highest among the people who had been measured so far, second only to a girl with a double spiritual root of wood and water.

"Xiao Ting is good, the fire and earth twin spirit roots, the purity is seventy or twenty, you can enter Chaoyang Hall!"

The children around him immediately looked at him with envy.

Xiao Ghost frowned, so did the Twin Spirit Root girl before, she asked in a low voice, "Mother, what is Chaoyang Hall?"

"Not all the people who stay in the family learn together, most of the talented people who enter Chaoyang Hall are single spirit roots and double spirit roots, and some people who have special talents in the formation pill also have a chance. ”

Xiao Ghost thought about it, it seems that Mo Zhiya is there.

At this moment, there was a burst of exclamations from all around, and even the elders at the top stood up.

It turned out that Mo Yan had arrived at some point, and the disc was emitting cyan light, and the pillar of light rose higher than Mo Ting just now.

"Haha, okay, Wind Spirit Root, purity 85, my Mo family is really a successor!"

Xiao Ghost felt that her mother's hand holding her was cold, so she whispered, "Mother, don't be nervous, it's okay." ”

"Not nervous, not nervous, not nervous. ”

said so, but the palms of his hands were sweating all the time, and Xiao Ghost stopped persuading.

The next one is Mo Yan's sibling brother, Mo Hao, but unfortunately it's only a three-spirit root.

Also, it can't be that all the talents of the dragon and phoenix are good.

"Mo Ghost"

Xiao Ghost was stunned for a moment, her mother pushed her, and then she reacted, she will change her surname to Mo in the Mo family in the future.

Take a deep breath and step forward and reach for the disc.

Feeling cool, suddenly, as if something broke out of the body at the dantian, a warm current flowed down the dantian to the arm, and the green corner of the disc lit up.

"Not bad, not bad, single wood spirit root, purity 80, into Chaoyang Hall. ”

Speaking of which, her spiritual root is also considered top-notch, but with Mo Yan Zhuyu in front of her, the elders calmed down, and they didn't seem so shocked.
