After drinking the spiritual tea, the sun had already set in the west, Fu Shiyi and Sanniang hung up the prepared red lanterns and pasted the couplets, and Gu Yaju suddenly had a little more New Year's flavor.

One night is two years old, and five watches are divided into two years.

After the fifth watch, Fu Shiyi and the three people turned back to the Yanyang courtyard to rest, and the old man who walked in front let out a few suppressed coughs from time to time.

After Fu Shiyi and the other old men who followed him entered the courtyard, they said worriedly:

"Sanniang, I saw that my grandfather was keeping a New Year's watch last night, and he coughed a lot, it couldn't be a recurrence of an old injury, right?"

The old man went out to explore a few years ago and was injured in the dantian, so he was not suitable for fighting with others, but he successively made exceptions in Zhangjia and Guyaju Tiankeng.

Although his old man said that it was fine, Fu Shiyi was faintly uneasy.

The old man's two battles, Sanniang was present, and she knew the specific situation best. The old man ignored the old injury and forcibly urged the mana, and the consequence was naturally not as simple as the recurrence of the old injury.

'M afraid...... The few remaining longevity will become even less.

Sanniang sighed deeply and didn't say much.

It's all in plain sight.

Fu Shiyi's heart tightened.

If only I could find a way to heal the old man's old wounds.

......

Fu Shiyi was lying on the bed, full of thoughts, obviously he was so sleepy that he couldn't open his eyes, but he couldn't sleep, and I don't know how long it took, a few wisps of fragrant fragrance floated in from the window, refreshing people's hearts and spleens, Fu Shiyi's tense nerves unconsciously soothed, and slowly fell asleep.

It was already noon when I woke up.

"Why did I sleep so deeply?!"

Fu Shiyi was surprised, her biological clock had always been very punctual.

Fu Shiyi muttered a few words, got up in his cloak, pushed open the window, and just halfway through his lazy waist, clusters of fiery red silver star flowers came into view.

The Silver Star fruit tree in the yard actually bloomed early!

There is still more than a month left in spring.

Fu Shiyi was overjoyed, pushed the door and came to the yard, at this time Sanniang stood under the silver star fruit tree, saw Fu Shiyi, Ying Ying smiled, under the background of the silver star flower, it is really more beautiful than flowers.

"Sanniang, you are so beautiful!"

Fu Shiyi couldn't help but praise him, and Sanniang glanced at Fu Shiyi angrily.

"It turned out that it was the fruit tree that used the "Soul Filling Decision" to convey spiritual energy that bloomed first. ”

Fu Shiyi looked at the east and west sides of the courtyard, only the silver star fruit trees blooming on the west side, and he was amazed. At the same time, it is expected that the Silver Star Fruit they produce will change.

At this time, a breeze blew, and the whole yard was suddenly filled with fragrance.

Come to think of it, what made her sleep peacefully last night was the fragrance of Silver Star Flowers!

"Eleven, do you feel that the wood aura in the courtyard is much stronger?"

Fu Shiyi felt it slightly.

Really!

Fu Shiyi suddenly smiled with crooked eyebrows, in another twenty or thirty years, when these dozens of Silver Star Fruit Trees grow to a height of more than ten zhang, then the wood aura in their courtyard will not be inferior to the first-order lower grade spiritual spring.

After the New Year.

The eighth uncle came over from Yanyang Mulin and informed Fu Shiyi and the old man that the relevant matters related to the selection of alchemy apprentices had been prepared, and when the third and fourth grandfathers came down from the clan, they could be held immediately.

The location was chosen in the east city of Yanyang Wood.

First, it can be convenient for participants who are on a mission outside to save time on the journey back and forth to their ancestral land, and second, there is a sacrificial hall built in the eastern city.

It's the first day of the ceremony.

Fu Shiyi put on the red formal clothes distributed by the clan, and after getting ready, he and Sanniang went to Yanyang Wood Forest first.

The outer wall of the east city has long been covered with colorful ribbons, and every household in the city has hung the banner of the Fu family's exclusive phoenix pattern. The streets of the city are unusually clean, and the mortals of the busy clan who come and go are all wearing uniform blue formal clothes, and everyone's face is full of red light.

For the Fu family, today is a rare and meaningful day.

The alchemy trial, which had been silent for more than a hundred years, has restarted!

And how fortunate they are to be witnesses!!

There was still half an hour before the time, and the clansmen who participated in the competition gathered early at the sacrificial hall in the center of the city, and Fu Shiyi glanced at the person holding the digital marker token in his hand, counting himself a total of eighteen people.

All are under the age of 40.

"Eleven, you're here. ”

The starling who was in the front porch of the sacrificial hall was talking to the clansmen happily saw Fu Shiyi and immediately greeted him, with a smile a little nervous, his eyes aimed at the rest of the people, and whispered:

"Good guy, just now I specially touched the bottom of the rest of the contestants, all of them came prepared, especially the seventh sister in the seventeenth room, I heard them say, since six years ago, the clan released rumors to restart the alchemy hall, she studied the "Zixu Alchemy Codex" day and night, forgot to sleep and eat, followed the devil, I saw that I was mostly accompanying the prince to read this time. ”

Fu Shiyi looked at the seventh sister, who was holding a book in the corner alone and was fascinated, and he was also a little nervous.

Due to the tension of the spirit stones in the clan, the selection of alchemy apprentices this time, according to what my grandfather revealed, should only choose one person to cultivate.

Starling and Fu Shiyi chatted for a few words, and then the rest of the contestants came over to talk to him one after another. Fu Shiyi looked at the starling who was talking and laughing with others, and smiled slightly. It seems that Starling, like his father Eighth Uncle, is very sociable.

"It's time!"

A clear voice suddenly sounded.

Although the volume was not high, it spread to every corner of the eastern city, whether it was inside the sacrificial hall or the clansmen surrounding outside, they could hear it clearly.

The crowd that was originally talking about it did not dare to make a mistake, and quieted down in time.

Fu Shiyi, who was standing in place, saw the eighth uncle dressed in purple, and he didn't know when he had appeared on the high platform of the sacrificial hall. The smoke of the large incense burner in front of him curls up, making his face looming, adding a bit of mystery.

"Ring the bell!"

I saw Babo's hand raised.

Hou on the left and right steps of the first floor of the bell and drum tower, the two clansmen instantly pinched the magic trick and hit the hanging bell and hanging drum successively.

"When ......."

The quaint bell rang, as if from the sky, distant and solemn.

The sound of the bell is complemented by the buzzing of the drums.

Fu Shiyi felt the speed of his blood flowing, and his blood boiled with the sound of the bell and drum.

Nine sounds passed.

The clear voice of the Eight Uncles came from the high platform of the temple again, and echoed in the void air:

"The children of the clan will give to each other in poverty, their livelihood will be conspired with each other, they will be sympathetic to each other, they will help each other in sickness, they will help each other in marriage...... The way to extend this family lineage is also, please!"

After the word "worship" fell.

Fu Shiyi and the clansmen followed the rhythm of the eight uncles, kneeling down facing the sacrificial hall.

His forehead was three inches above the ground, and he was exactly the same.

Meander all the way and fall to your knees.

Fu Shiyi saw the three nine-inch-long incense pillars in the hands of the eighth uncle, and every time he knelt down and bowed, he spontaneously burned one, and when the three burned together, the eighth uncle seemed to be relieved, and then inserted the incense pillar on the incense burner, turned around sharply, and said with a solemn face:

"Dan has a long road, I will do it. ”

"Dan Dao is full of heaven, I will understand it. ”

Babo's voice was subdued and shocking. Fu Shiyi's heart was inexplicably throbbing, and he involuntarily shouted with him like the clansmen present:

"Dan has a long road, I will do it. ”

"Dan Dao is full of heaven, I will understand it. ”

The cries of hundreds of people rang out in unison, shaking in unison, soaring into the sky. The insects, fish, birds, and beasts in the forest thought they had encountered some large beast, and they were so frightened that they panicked.

As soon as Ba Bo's hands pressed, everyone stopped shouting instantly, only to see him wave his sleeves violently, and said loudly:

"In the first year of the first day, the alchemy trial ceremony, enlightenment!"
