"Immortals have a road, all with a pair of feet on the soles of their feet, soaring the world and wandering the rivers and lakes. Danqiu in the East and Taihua in the West, and travel in the North Sea in the twilight. The old man sat under the hugging tree, slowly telling the legend that had been passed down from his ancestors.

The three girls snuggled in their mother's arms and couldn't help but be stunned.

Twilight Sihe, it is the time of farming, the evening breeze is coming, the farmers are rare quiet, gather under the thick cypress tree outside the old man's house in the village to listen to the old man talk about the ancients.

The ancestors of Dujia Village once produced immortals.

Hundreds of years ago, the Du family was just a small family, with only a widowed mother and two brothers. One day, a young man in Chinese costume passed by here to drink tea, and after a while, the two brothers heard an angry cry on a sunny day, the thunder rolled, like a river rushing, the sky was dim for a moment, a streamer flew from far and near, from the edge of the sky, the young man in Chinese costume flew into the sky in a flash, and the two fought a battle, and finally the young man in Chinese costume won. The two brothers were stunned, so they knelt down and begged the young man in gorgeous clothes to take the two of them to ask for immortals, but the young man allowed his younger brother, but said that the elder brother was not qualified enough and had no chance to become immortals. Since then, the younger brother has gone to cultivate immortals, and the elder brother has relied on the silver money left by the immortal to start trading, and he has become ancient, and he is the ancestor of the Du family.

Now the Du family is a prestigious family, with countless children, and Dujia Village is just a small branch. The clansmen have long suspected that this is just a legend, but in this generation, in the past few days, the patriarch in the city has come to spread the word that the ancestors have come to take their children and grandchildren to find immortals!

When the crowd dispersed, the three girls couldn't help but ask their mother, "Mother, can I also become an immortal?"

"Of course you can become an immortal!" Bai said categorically.

"But if I go to cultivate immortals, I won't be able to see my mother every day. The third girl was a little apprehensive.

"Sanya, you listen to your mother. Bai Shi heard her ask, carefully looked at her daughter Yuxue's cute little face, only felt that she couldn't love enough, a heartfelt pity came up, she saw that there was no one around, so she squatted down and held the cheeks of the three girls, "Your grandfather is the village chief Xiucai, and your father is the shopkeeper in the town, and you are one of the few dolls in the village who can recognize words, do you see that you are always pinching the tip in the little sisters?"

The three girls nodded immediately.

"We raised you Jiaojiao, we haven't made you suffer, other people's female dolls don't care how old they are, which one doesn't envy you? But we spoil you so much, after all, we just want you to live a life that girls and daughters-in-law in ten miles and eight villages envy, and put them in the town, county, or even the prefecture, then it is nothing. But if you are taken by the immortal chief to cultivate immortals, then you will no longer be mortals, and those who will envy you will be the people of Quanzhou Mansion at that time. The Bai family knows what they value, and they know what their youngest daughter values, "Moreover, if other girls are taken away and you stay, you will be beaten by others at that time, and you feel good?"

"Mother, I'm going to cultivate immortals. The third girl tried to think about it, and it turned out that people who were not as good as her would be more proud of her in the future, which made her feel unbearable soon.

"That's right. Bai Shi stroked his little daughter's sideburns with relief, "Everything must be competed for, only when you rise to the top can people see you, and if you are excellent, you will have the opportunity to choose." You see, if my mother wasn't the most pinched girl in the village, she wouldn't have been able to marry your father, right?"

"If you are really not qualified enough, then you will go to the immortal chief, cry and kneel to beg, kowtow to others, beg someone to take you away, and you will die to cultivate immortals. My mother also knows that the fairy is well-informed, and he may not necessarily eat this set, but everything is a spelling, you go to spell, you can have a chance to break through, how do you know if you don't try?"

"But、That's too"

"The delicate you raised for us doesn't know what it's like to ask for people, but people live in the world and always ask for people. If you don't ask now, you will be returned, and if you marry someone and become a daughter-in-law, you will have to ask someone one day. Bai Shi stroked her cheeks, tears slowly welling up in her eyes, "Mother hopes that you will learn to ask for someone now, and one day, you will not have to ask for someone." Mother has lived a lifetime, but just for a face, you were born by me, like me. But you also have to know that sometimes, you have to sacrifice face to get face. ”

"You are always compared to your little sisters now, no one has ever compared you with your brothers, just because you are not a male baby, are you willing?" Bai stared into the eyes of the little daughter, "Mother heard that immortals are the same as men and women, as long as you become an immortal, you will not be stopped from doing what you want to do because you are not a male baby, and you can also compare with those babies who are better at that time." ”

"Mother has no hope, I hope you can do well, you have also read, don't be a daughter in life, a hundred years of bitterness and happiness by others. Tomorrow, you follow the uncle to Fucheng, and my mother will say a word, don't come back. ”

Don't come back.

The third girl didn't know how she followed Bai Shi back home to sleep, she just felt that it was over in a blur, she called Bai before dawn, and hurriedly followed the uncle to the entrance of the village after dressing and washing, Bai suddenly chased out, "Sanya." ”

The third girl looked back at her, only to see this somewhat haggard and aging but still beautiful woman who was disturbed by mundane affairs staring at her in the unclear skylight, her lips trembling slightly, "Don't forget what my mother told you last night." ”

"I won't forget. I don't know why, a force from the bottom of her heart made her say loudly, "I will definitely go to cultivate immortals with the immortal chief, mother, don't worry!"

Bai seemed to smile, "but no matter what," she took a deep breath, "you have to be worthy of your conscience." ”

"Go, don't come back. ”

"Sanya, what did my mother tell you?" her second brother asked her secretly.

"Secret. The third girl made a grimace at her second brother, and her mood gradually improved, she knew that she was the most beloved child of the Bai family, and that was enough.

The three girls sat on the ox cart with several young ladies in the village, followed by male dolls from the same village, accompanied by several adult men, talking and laughing and rushing to the city.

Dujia Village is a little far away from Fucheng, and the group set off from dawn until the next day, and did not arrive at Dujia in Fucheng until the next day. The children have rested on the ox cart, and their spirits are very full, but they are not as elated as before, but they are nervous, and the three girls are infected by this atmosphere, and they can't help but be silent when they think of what Bai said.

The housekeeper of the Du family arranged for more than a dozen children to go to the backyard of the Du family's old man's house to line up, and the third girl felt for the first time that she was really nothing in the eyes of others, thinking of what Bai told her not to go back, and even had an urge to turn around and run away immediately, but her second brother firmly grabbed her arm, and she could only freeze there.

When the sun also rose, the team in front of her finally moved, she couldn't see the situation in front of her, only saw one after another peers walking out disappointed, some even left tears, the three girls looked over one by one, and even had an urge to cry, and the whole team was filled with a sluggish atmosphere.

"Second brother, I'm afraid. The third girl said softly.

"I'm fine. The second brother gritted his teeth and said, "Don't be afraid, it's the people from their village who can't do it, our village will definitely do it." ”

The third girl felt as if she was comforted, but anxiety still made her want to run out.

If she didn't have the qualifications to cultivate immortals, would she really want to cry and kneel down and beg for immortals? In front of so many acquaintances, it was so embarrassing. But if it really doesn't work, but other young ladies can cultivate immortals, what should she do?

The three girls stood there at a loss, feeling their powerlessness for the first time in their lives.

The closer she got to the water pavilion, the more nervous the three girls became, and even hoped that the line would be slower, but it seemed that it didn't go her way, and soon arrived in front of her.

She stepped into the water pavilion with a white face, and suddenly saw a young man sitting inside, dressed in brocade clothes, with a leisurely demeanor, which was different from everyone she had ever seen. She made a decision almost instantly, in case she was not qualified, that is, death also required to cultivate immortals.

"Come, don't be afraid. The young man saw that she was a cute little girl from Yuxue, and she didn't put on a show, but smiled and beckoned, "Put your hand on this tray." ”

The third girl felt that her heart was about to jump out, she breathed a little quickly and stretched out her hand to put it on the jade tray in the young man's hand, and the tray immediately lit up bright white, faintly with a little bright yellow.

"Huh?" the young man exclaimed, his eyes full of surprise when he looked at her, "Golden Earth Twin Spirit Roots, little girl, what's your name?"

"My name is Du Sanya. The three girls vaguely felt that they would probably not be eliminated.

"Come, sit down. The young man pulled her to sit on the chair beside him, "Don't be afraid, you just follow me, I can't say that I will call you senior sister in the future." ”

The third girl sat on the chair a little uneasily, looked back, and there were two men and one woman standing behind her, and she was the only one sitting.

Because she is better than others, she is treated better than others, and she doesn't have to give up her son to beg for help, she can get what she wants.

It turns out that being better than others is such a happy and comfortable thing.

The second brother walked into the water pavilion, and the third girl smiled at him, but the second brother was even more nervous.

"You don't have a spiritual root. The young man's voice was far less warm than that of the three girls, "Go out over there." ”

The second brother's lips trembled slightly, he looked at Sanya, and finally said nothing, and walked out silently. The third girl looked at him very anxiously, why didn't he beg the immortals? She wanted to open her mouth to intercede for the second brother, her lips squirmed and she wrote down, and finally she was silent, she was afraid that she would make the immortals unhappy.

The three girls sat beside the immortals and watched one after another of their fellow clans come in and out, and they never saw anyone staying, but they saw someone who was a waste spirit root, kneeling there crying and kowtowing to the immortal, begging the immortal to accept him. Anyone who saw him would be moved by his extremely pious head, and his forehead would soon break and bleed.

"You're just a waste spirit root, even if you set foot on the immortal path, it is impossible to break through the early stage of qi refining, so let's go out. The young man persuaded him.

"Ask the immortals to give me a chance. The young man begged him with sorrow.

"Then you can come here. The young man sighed and gave him permission.

The three girls looked at the young man and stood behind her with infinite joy, although she was young, she still had a sense of empathy and sorrow, if it was her who was detected as a waste spirit root, then it would be her who broke her head at this time!

What is it? Why do people ask for it without regretting it for the rest of their lives?

What is it to become an immortal? Why is it so difficult for people to give up and seek up and down?

After the young man's spiritual root was over, there were only seven children left, and the three girls had never seen any of them being pulled by the young man to sit next to her.

"Senior sister's name is a bit clichéd, why don't you change it?" the young man asked her softly.

"Please give me a name. The three girls obediently responded.

"I really can't afford to be called that by my junior sister, just call me senior brother. The young man laughed, "My surname is Du, and I am called Du Qinze, and I am of the same clan as my junior sister." I asked the patriarch, my sister has the word 'Lan' in this generation, and I will give my sister a big name, we cultivate immortals and pay attention to a 'to keep the truth from the false', the younger sister is extraordinary, so it is better to call it 'Du Lan Zhen'. ”

The third girl listened half-incomprehensibly, and listened to every word in her heart, "Thank you, senior brother, I will be called Du Lanzhen in the future." ”

Du Qinze named the seven children respectively, "Several junior brothers and sisters, our sect is called the Jichen Sect, it is one of the six major sects in the immortal cultivation world, there are countless disciples, the inheritance is complete, and the disciples have just entered the door and have been practicing in Xiaoxie for three years. Later, I will take you to the Fusheng Xiaoxie, which is closer to the sect, where our Du family children are all initiated. ”

Du Qinze took seven people to an open place, waved his hand, and summoned a treasure boat, which was brilliant, and several children were stunned, "Junior brothers and sisters, get on the boat." ”

Du Lan really got on the treasure ship, and still felt incredible, until Du Qinze waved his hand, the treasure ship went straight to the sky, shuttling quickly in the clouds, she lost her voice for a while, and looked down, countless stars in the world had already turned into a slim dot, and gradually disappeared. It was as if something had broken through the ground in her heart and grown into a towering tree in an instant.

I must be very good, she thought silently, mother, I really didn't go back.
