The bitter little face was wrinkled, and he found that Mu Ziling was staring straight at him, and he closed his eyes aggrievedly and drank it in one go. Mu Ziling raised his eyebrows when he saw this, but he was very obedient.

"Master asked me to ask you if you want to go home, back to your former courtyard. Mu Ziling explained when he saw the doubt in Yun Ci's eyes.

"Don't you take in children here?" Yun Ci asked Mu Ziling after being quiet for a long time.

Mu Ziling had no choice but to patiently explain to Yun Ci: "This is the Tianyu Sect, and all those left in the sect can practice. ”

Yun Ci was curious about the baby's possession: "What is cultivation?"

Mu Ziling was stunned for a moment, didn't know how to explain to her, thought about it and replied: "Cultivators can kill demons and seek benefits for the common people in the world." Seeing that Yun Ci didn't understand, he simply explained, "Cultivators can do everything in heaven and earth." ”

Yun Ci asked weakly, "Then can you eat enough after practicing?"

Mu Ziling vomited blood in his heart, what kind of strange child is this! Shouldn't he worship it with pride? I think that Jiang Yu's kid was so excited that he vowed to achieve positive results and kill all the demons in the world.

"Yes!" Mu Ziling replied categorically.

"Then I'm going to practice too. Yun Ci said happily.

Mu Ziling said coldly: "Cultivation depends on the qualifications and bones, the talent is not good, and it is too difficult to practice without spiritual roots, so not everyone can practice." Mu Ziling was satisfied to see Yun Ci's little face, and continued to popularize Yun Ci's science, "The spiritual root is divided into five spiritual roots: gold, wood, water, fire, and earth. Wood gives birth to fire, fire gives birth to earth, earth gives birth to gold, gold gives birth to water, and water gives birth to wood for the five elements. Jin Ke Mu, Mu Ke Earth, Tu Ke Water, Water Ke Fire, Fire Ke Jin are the five elements of each other. Among the human race, one hundred people have a spiritual root, a thousand people have a double spiritual root, ten thousand people have a three-spirit root, and one five-spirit root cannot be produced in 100,000 years. ”

"What about the four spirit roots?"

"The cultivation of the four spiritual roots is too difficult, and the four spiritual powers restrain each other, which is too chaotic and often uncontrollable. Therefore, the four spiritual roots are almost equivalent to having no talent. ”

"It's a shame. Yun Ci looked like he was studying hard, "Then why is the Five Spirit Root not a waste Spirit Root?"

"The five spirit roots are self-generating cycles, and the five elements naturally do not appear to be mutually restrictive. You don't need to know too much about this, it's useless to think too much, the five spirit roots haven't produced one in 100,000 years. ”

"Therefore, if you want to practice, you must first measure the spiritual root, and only if you have the spiritual root can you stay in the sect to practice. But there is also a place to go without spiritual roots. Mu Ziling saw that Yun Ci was unhappy when he lowered his head, so he added, and Yun Ci really raised his head again and waited for Mu Ziling to continue.

"The sect has resident offices in various places under the mountain, one is to deter the demon clan and the demon clan. The second is to pay attention to people with spiritual roots and bring them back to the mountains in time to practice. If you don't have a spiritual root, you can go to the resident office and be trained to become a layman caretaker. The corners of Mu Ziling's mouth rose slightly, "There is a tradition of adopting orphans in the sect, and not everyone has a spiritual root, so many people without a spiritual root have not all arranged a place to go? ”

"Really, don't drive me away!" Yun Ci jumped up happily, "Thank you, Senior Brother Mu, and Elder Liu, it's so good, I have a place to stay." ”

Mother Song, finally there is a place not to drive me away, I also have a place to stay, and I will go back to see you when I grow up.

"Then Yun Ci, do you want to test the spirit root?" Mu Ziling looked at her happily, and was also infected by the mood a little lighter, and then put away his smile and asked seriously.

"If you don't practice, you don't have food. "Yun Ci still wants to eat.

Mu Ziling nodded: "Whatever you choose, your cultivation is as you like, and if you force it, it will hinder your cultivation." ”

Yun Ci didn't know how to choose: "Senior Brother Mu, I don't know what to do." Is it difficult to practice?"

"It's difficult! But in life, you always have to take corresponding responsibilities. The Heavenly Dao has endowed you with a natural spiritual root, and you must also take on the responsibility of maintaining heaven and earth. Mu Ziling straightened up and looked into the distance, "In this world, only cultivation can obtain the highest power. Since you are alone and a woman, it is difficult to walk in the world, so you might as well stay in the mountains and practice. ”

Yun Ci nodded, although he was small, he felt keen, whether it was good for himself or not, Yun Ci felt it. Just like Mother Song, although they are always scolded, everyone is the closest to Mother Song. Without Mother Song, everyone would not have survived for a long time.

"You go back to your room to rest first, and I'll ask Jiang Yu to take you to the spirit root tomorrow morning." There is a spiritual root and another test to stay in the sect. Mu Ziling explained a few words and got up to leave.

Yun Ci entered the room and lay on the bed tossing and turning and couldn't sleep, thinking of the two people for a while, thinking of Mother Song and Shi them, and imagining the time when the cultivation was successful......

The next day, Yun Qi got up early in the morning and sat on the threshold waiting for Jiang Yu. When the sky was bright, Jiang Yu walked over slowly. Greet Yun Ci, and Yun Ci also follow his example to return the salute.

"Yun Ci, I'm in charge of your introductory test today, let's go to test the spiritual root first. Jiang Yu cleared his throat and announced like a little adult.

Yun Ci nodded, and asked curiously, "How to measure, do you use blood?"

"No, you'll know when you get there. Jiang Yu didn't say anything back in front of him.

Jiang Yu took Yun Ci to look for Elder Feng first, Elder Feng looked at Yun Ci with a smile, and said something inexplicable: "The little girl is recovering well." Without waiting for Yun Ci to react, he led the two children out.

The three of them walked to a hall, and Elder Feng took out a key to unlock it. The hall was very empty, except for a table, on which there was a blue and black stone, which could be seen everywhere like a large stone soaked in water by the river.

"Let's test!" Elder Feng pushed the box holding the stone towards Yun Ci.

"Just put your hands up like this. Jiang Yu gestured to Yun Ci with his hand.

Yun Ci was nervous in his heart, and it appeared in his hand, but he still put it on steadily. It's cold under your hands, and it's very comfortable in this summer. It slowly became mild, hotter and hotter, and then burst into a dazzling green glow.

Elder Feng nodded with satisfaction, and another good seedling had been added to the sect, a high-purity wood-based spiritual root. It's easier for a girl to have such a spiritual root to practice.

Yun Ci slowly let go of his hand, stretched out his hands in a trance, and was surprised where the light came from.

"That's right, a very talented wood attribute spirit root. Elder Feng put the stone back in its place, and somehow turned out a lid and put it on the box, "Go ahead, you can stay in the sect after the test." ”

The disciple retired. Jiang Yu bowed respectfully and pushed it out. Yun Ci drew a gourd and followed out. Walking on the bluestone paved road, there are unknown flowers blooming on both sides, and there is no figure along the way, Yun Ci doesn't know where to go, only that it feels more and more quiet. When I looked up, I saw tall trees, and the morning sun was falling through the gaps in the leaves, and it wasn't too hot.

"It's here. Jiang Yu stopped.

It is a dark cave with a small entrance that allows only one person to enter and exit. The mountain walls on both sides of the cave are covered with vines, and the shade is cool, and I feel an uncomfortable breath climbing up the soles of my feet. Yun Ci couldn't help but shudder.

"Outer disciple Jiang Yu begging to see Elder Li!" Jiang Yu respectfully saluted towards the entrance of the cave.

"What's the matter?" An old voice came from his ears, Yun Ci raised his head and didn't see anyone, so he couldn't help but look at Jiang Yu suspiciously, isn't it an auditory hallucination?

Jiang Yu ignored her and replied respectfully: "I am ordered by Elder Feng to send a new beginner disciple to the test. ”

"Come in!" the voice sounded.

Jiang Yu pushed Yun Ci. The black Yun Ci was really scared in his heart, and looked at Jiang Yu timidly, hoping that Jiang Yu could go in together.

Jiang Yu saw through Yun Ci's thoughts: "Don't be afraid, it's very good." ”

Yun Ci knew that he couldn't hide, so he went inside. It grew darker and darker until nothing could be seen. There was no light, and he stopped. Yun Ci was calmer in the dark, knowing that no one could help him at this time. Since Jiang Yu said that it was very good, there should be no danger. Thinking of this, Yun Ci groped his way forward with the stone wall, step by step, and the more he walked, the calmer his heart became. I thought about what had happened since yesterday and now. Think about today's choices and think about the way forward. I think of the past, I think of those two people, I think of the beatings and oppression I have suffered, and I think of the experience of not having enough to eat......

The desire to grow up and be strong in Yun Ci's heart was even stronger. When you grow up, you won't be bullied, and when you grow up, you won't let anyone bully you again.

Very few people know what Elder Li's name is, because Elder Li has lived so long that his former friends, masters and apprentices are scattered in the world. pinched a black chess piece between his dry fingers, looked at the cloud ci in the array, and thought it was a "back door", and he was a little pitiful. Forget it, I'm idle anyway, and I'm going to play with her.

"Smack" is the sound of a chess piece falling.
