Chapter 13 Qualifications are superior and bone age is met
"Little Liuzi, is the immortal master really here? Aren't you bluffing us?" Before the Zhou family could react, the neighbor next to him couldn't bear it anymore, so he hurriedly walked a few steps quickly, and pulled the little sixth son who came to report the news and asked.
"It's true, it's true, I saw the immortal master descend from the sky, and the immortal master said that he would come to our village to elect fairies, and let the school-age children from three to six years old in the village go to the election. Xiao Liuzi gasped, spoke smoothly, and told him everything he knew in one go.
"This ...... I've heard from other villages that you can't choose fairy children who are over five years old or under fifteen years old? Aren't those people evil cultivators trying to trick our dolls into doing something unseemly?" asked another older, well-informed old man hesitantly.
"What can we do about this! We are a bunch of mortals, how can we deal with the Immortal Master!" When the others heard this, they immediately became anxious!
"Don't be afraid, bring the children first, and you'll find out if you go to see it at home. If those people are really evil cultivators, even if we fight for this life, we have to let them see, we are not easy to mess with!" Zhou Yang took out the machete on his body, raised it high to the sky, and said arrogantly to the villagers.
"Why do you want to bring the children with you, if those people are really bad people, aren't they falling into the net?" asked a younger daughter-in-law, puzzled.
"You fool, leave the children at home, first, if the bad luck is really bad and meet bad people, they see that we go but don't bring the baby, they will definitely send another person to come to search, then without our protection, the dolls are delicate and soft, how can they resist;
Zhou Yang didn't explain, she always likes to do things with her hands and not use her mouth, these words were said by the little daughter-in-law's mother-in-law.
No matter how many people guessed, they finally took the men, women, and children who were convenient for movement in their homes, and marched towards the place notified by the immortal masters.
Zhou Yang still strode forward with Qu Qingge in one hand, Uncle Zhou went back to his house and brought his two daughters, his eldest daughter was eight years old and missed the age of running, but the youngest daughter was only five years old, just enough to qualify for the election, if such a good thing was true, he would let his daughter fight for anything.
Uncle Zhou didn't go, even if he was excited about the matter of the immortal master, but in his heart, his wife and children were more important, so he stayed at home to take care of his wife and children.
Zhou Liniang took Qu Qingzhi's hand to keep up with her mother's footsteps, feeling both worried and excited.
Qu Qingge witnessed all this, even if he knew that the selection of the fairy child was not fake, he couldn't help but secretly praise the calmness and intelligence of the people of Qingshan Village in his heart.
Perhaps the people who have lived in the mountains for a long time are also more bold and open-minded, with the awe and yearning of ordinary people for the immortal master, when they hear this good news, although they are also ecstatic for a moment, but after calming down, they begin to think about the safety of future generations.
I have to say that this is a rare thing, most of the people in this world are for their own benefit, and in the face of great temptation, they can even sell everything, including their own bodies and relatives and friends.
Now in the face of the huge temptation of 'becoming immortals', they can still think about their children and grandchildren.
From this point, it is enough to see the character of the people in Qingshan Village.
In fact, in this world where immortal masters are everywhere, although the secular world and the cultivation world are separated, no matter how the cultivators of the cultivation realm are, it is very difficult for them to reproduce the next generation, and even the higher the cultivation, the less hope there is to get the continuation of their own bloodline.
Therefore, in order to maintain the population and to have new and well-qualified disciples to enter, they often open the mountain gate every once in a while to recruit disciples, or randomly send disciples to the secular realm to recruit qualified children into the immortal gate.
And those lucky chosen children are not gone and will not return, after they have achieved cultivation, they can go down the mountain to practice, and at this time, those immortal masters who miss their families in the secular world will return home and reunite with their families for a while.
Through the spread of them and their families, people in the secular world can also know a little about the cultivation realm, although there is not much news, but it can also let them know a little about the cultivation realm.
For example, the immortals are not necessarily all good, and there are also two factions, good and evil, so in the face of today's events, the villagers were not carried away by joy, but carefully considered the stakes.
And why did Qu Qingge know that the selection of fairy children this time was not fake?
That's because in her previous life, the fairy child who was selected in Qingshan Village today was successful in cultivation many years later, and he came back as an immortal master, he gave his family the elixir of prolonging life, and also took his family to Jincheng to stay, so that his family could enjoy the glory and wealth with him.
That's why she is convinced of this, and now that her long-cherished wish is about to come true, the only thing she has to worry about is that she doesn't have that fairy fate, then everything she hopes for will be fruitless.
Qingshan Village was not big, and it was much smaller under the eager footsteps of the people, and after a while, they came to the open field in front of the village chief's house.
There were already a lot of people around the place, and they all craned their necks eagerly and looked eagerly at the roof of the village chief's house.
Qu Qingge raised his little head, and saw two young men wearing moon-white wide-sleeved robes, white jade crowns, and fluttering postures, and fairy wind and bones, chatting leisurely, as if they didn't care about the eyes and gazes of everyone below.
One of the immortal masters seemed to notice Qu Qingge's scorching gaze, looked down slightly, and the eyes of the two looked at each other for a moment, then he smiled gently at Qu Qingge before continuing to turn his head and talk to his junior brother.
Qu Qingge only felt that the young man's face was handsome and elegant, his eyebrows were like distant mountains, his eyes were like autumn water, and his smile was like a camellia blooming in spring.
"What was Senior Brother looking at?" his junior brother asked curiously.
"A funny kid. Senior Brother smiled gently and replied slowly.
"Oh, how interesting, brother, why don't you tell me about it?" said the younger brother with interest.
"The heart is upright, solid as a rock, the fighting spirit is soaring, and the general is born!" said the senior brother loudly.
"If you can get such a high praise from my senior brother, then this son must be good, if there is an immortal fate, you and I can introduce it to the immortal path, and it can also make my sect have another talent. The junior brother said happily.
"Don't be so casual, I'm here with the trust of the master, if his qualifications are not enough, we can't make an exception to lead him into that place, otherwise, we will harm others and ourselves!" The senior brother frowned slightly, slightly dissatisfied with the junior brother's contemptuous attitude, and gently warned him about what he did.
"The junior brother respectfully obeys the senior brother's admonition. As soon as the junior brother heard what the senior brother said, he also knew that he was reckless, so he bowed to the senior brother and solemnly called it wrong.
"It's good that the junior brother knows, it's not too early now, the selection of talents should begin, and the junior brother will first inform the people here of the reason for your and my trip, and save them from guessing and worrying in their hearts. Seeing that the junior brother was being taught, the senior brother smiled with satisfaction, and then instructed him to prepare to start recruiting fairy children.
"Senior brother is just so good-natured, those villagers are not angry when they talk about me as evil cultivators, and they kindly ask me to explain it clearly, and reassure their hearts, if it weren't for that person's kindness to the master, I wouldn't have come to this poor country. The junior brother stepped forward to face the villagers below, and muttered as if complaining.
"Senior brother. Senior Brother lowered his tone slightly.
The junior brother immediately admitted his mistake: "I was wrong, I was wrong, if it wasn't for Mr. sacrificing his life to save the master in distress, I don't know what the situation is today, we should thank Mr. for this, and we should try our best to fulfill Mr. The last wish of Mr. before his death, so that the village where he was born has a chance to choose a fairy child." ”
"It's good that the junior brother already knows, if it weren't for the wrong time at this time, the master would like to repay this kindness as soon as possible and end the cause and effect. We don't need to set such a high threshold for this selection, but fortunately, the master is also concerned about this, and specially ordered us to receive his jade order, and share the children who have a fairy fate this time, but failed to choose, and order them to wait for my sect to open the door to accept disciples, and then go to my door by themselves. ”
After the senior brother finished speaking, he waved his hand again to signal the junior brother to stop grinding anymore, and it was time to get to the point.
Qu Qingge couldn't hear the conversation of the immortal masters in the house below, but he could also see his movements, and when he saw that the other immortal master also looked down at the people below, he couldn't help but feel slightly nervous, and waited anxiously for his mouth.
"We are disciples of the Lingyun Sect, and we are here to select the sons with excellent qualifications for the sect and introduce them into the ...... of the sect."
After the explanation of the junior brother, Qu Qingge and the others understood that the reason why they had such a great fortune in Qingshan Village today was because Qingshan Village said that it was an orphan who went out to wander a few years ago, but never returned.
The orphan lost his parents and became an orphan due to the disaster of the wolves decades ago, and the people of the village took pity on his suffering and let him grow up eating a hundred family meals, and when he grew up, he had an extraordinary yearning to become an immortal, so he made up his mind to go out and seek a fairy path.
In an accident, out of kindness, he sacrificed his life to save an immortal master who was in trouble that year, and the immortal master was grateful for his kindness and asked him his wish before he died, and the man thanked his hometown villagers for taking care of him when he was young. Make a wish, hope that the immortal master can choose a fairy child in Qingshan Village, so that Qingshan Village will also produce an immortal master.
The immortal master readily agreed, and after he had survived the tribulation and cultivated to a higher level, he sent his disciples to Qingshan Village to recruit qualified people to join his sect.
After explaining everything, seeing that the expressions of everyone below were faintly relaxed, and quietly revealed the children hidden behind them, the junior brother was angry and funny, but he did not intend to demolish them, but only asked him to bring children between the ages of three and fifteen to come forward, and they began to test their qualifications.
The villagers looked at each other in confusion, and finally Zhou Yang had the courage to ask: "Dare to ask the immortal master, didn't you say before that children between the ages of three and six should come forward to run for election?
"Hmph, what's the matter? Didn't you suspect that we were evil cultivators before, and what do you want to suspect this time?" the senior brother snorted mockingly at the villagers below, and when he saw their embarrassed faces, he continued under the disapproving gaze of the senior brother.
"The methods of the Immortal Family are not for you mortals to spy on, I know the situation in this radius of a hundred miles, and you know what you said before. It's not too early, hurry up and let the children come up, or we'll be in trouble. ”
This slightly impatient words frightened the villagers and immediately pushed the children around them forward, and the village chief also came up and apologized sincerely: "Don't be annoyed by the immortal master, don't be annoyed by the immortal master, it's me and other foolish people who haven't read and have shallow knowledge, please forgive the immortal master." ”
"Forget it this time, don't do it again in the future, let the children who are running for election come up. ”
Seeing that the villagers were scared by him, the junior brother was not a wicked person, but he was innocent for a while, and he was not in a good mood, but now he also breathed a sigh of relief, and jumped from the roof to the ground, causing the villagers to inhale for a while, and he was still a little satisfied in his heart.
The senior brother sighed helplessly, and there was no way to take this jumping junior brother, so he could only jump down with it, and fall in front of people with an ethereal posture, and smiled gently at the children who were pushed forward by the elders and looked uneasy, to soothe their emotions.
Qu Qingge is also in the pile of children, she is short standing in a pile of children and is not inconspicuous at all, she is firmly held by her eldest brother with one hand, looking up at the movements of the two immortals, although she yearns in her heart, she is not amazed.
It's just because she had seen other immortal masters in her previous life, although she didn't know which was weaker and which was stronger, but this kind of small means alone couldn't alarm her, and this kind of behavior of jumping off the roof, if she had the martial arts of her previous life, she could do it.
Just as Qu Qingge was diverging his thoughts, among the two immortal masters, he watched the older one flip his wrist and took out a fist-sized crystal clear crystal, causing bursts of exclamation and admiration from the surrounding villagers.
The spar was crystal clear, white and flawless, and it still showed its original colorlessness under the sunlight, and not even a trace of colored light could be refracted.
Qu Qingge stared at the spar curiously, and intuitively, the effect of this spar must be very important to her.
Really......
The senior brother said to the village chief in a warm voice: "I'm tired of the village chief helping to roll call, let's start now." ”
"Yes...... the village chief nodded again and again, then turned to the surrounding children and said, "The baby who called the name came forward to test the immortal master's immortal fate, be well-behaved, and don't disrespect the immortal master, do you know?"
"Got it!" The children were excited, looking at the two immortal masters expectantly, hoping that they could leave a good impression on the immortal masters, and they were also very obedient to the village chief's words.
At this time, even the naughtiest child in the village became as well-behaved as the kitten in the face of these two revered immortals.
"Wu Cuihua... Wu Jinhua... Wu Jinbao... Zhang Erya... Zhang Tieniu......"
The village chief was called by the name of each family, and as his words fell, one by one the children stepped forward to touch the spar according to the request of the immortal master, but more than a dozen children passed, and the spar still did not move.
The children who failed to make the spar change were all rejected by the immortal master, and they could only run back to their elders to ask for comfort without crying with a depressed face.
Qu Qingge looked at it, and couldn't help but feel a little nervous in her heart, just looking forward to getting to her soon, whether she was alive or dead.
The test in front of them was still going on, and the two immortal masters seemed to know the difficulty of selecting fairy children, but they did not show impatience, and finally, when the village chief shouted: "Yang Fan", a boy who looked about seven or eight years old and fat stepped forward and reached out to touch the spar.
The spar showed four brighter colors of fire, red, water, earthy yellow, and gold, and the expressions of the two immortal masters finally became a little more energetic, and the immortal master who looked at the younger ones raised his voice and said: "Fire, water, earth, and gold four spiritual roots, medium purity, go to the left and stand." ”
"Yes, Immortal Master. The boy suppressed his faint excitement and quickly ran to the right to stand still, and his family members were also excited and excited.
This was like a clarion call for an attack, and then a series of children with spiritual roots appeared, and among them there was even a water and wood twin spiritual root, high purity.
It's a pity that the kid is seven years old this year, and he is too old!
After the senior brother was surprised, he regretted it, and secretly sighed that this time the two of them had no chance to personally introduce this good seedling into the sect.
Then there were several children who had no spiritual roots, and then they followed the village chief's roll call: "Zhang Goudan." ”
Among the few remaining children came a thin boy of about five years old, his clothes were shabby, patched, but clean, and he looked like a very poor child from the family.
As he stepped forward, there was a cough from time to time.
The child's body was very empty.
Qu Qingge made up her mind in her heart, her martial arts realm has reached the congenital, and she will come back to her life, although her internal strength is gone, but her eyesight is still there, and she can see at a glance that the child's body is very empty, which shows that she is a child who was born weak like her mother.
Unlike her mother, this child will not be well nourished the day after tomorrow, and his body will become more and more empty, and if he does not have a chance, he may not live to be eight years old, and he should die.
Fortunately, this child is still a creative person, his thin hand carefully stretched out, and as soon as he lightly touched the spar in the immortal master's hand, the spar shone with a dazzling cyan light.
Qu Qingge's expression became so happy when he saw these two immortal masters for the first time, they almost excitedly invited the child to the right place, and thoughtfully took out a jade stool out of thin air for him to sit down.
This hand shocked the surrounding villagers, they actually saw the legendary teleportation, they kept admiring, but Qu Qingge knew that it was the function of the storage bag.
Now, she is no longer in the mood to care about this kind of treasure that she has seen many times in her previous life, she only cares about whether she has immortal fate or not, and whether she can embark on the long journey of immortality.
In the face of the temptation of the Avenue of Eternal Life, Rao is a determined Qu Qingge, and when he really faced the moment of deciding his future, he couldn't calm down.
Finally, everyone in front of them finished singing and successfully completed the test, leaving only the last two children in the same place, that is, Qu Qingge and Qu Qingzhi.
The two of them are the sons of a foreign daughter, and they are not counted in Qingshan Village, but they happened to meet and just caught up with the great joy of the immortal master's selection of fairy children, and the village chief was still hesitating to call them, but he was reflected by the blade that Zhou Yang's quietly revealed, flashed to his eyes, and was so frightened that he immediately shouted: "Qu Qingzhi." ”
Qu Qingzhen easily opened his sister's hand, took a few steps forward and bowed to the immortals, and received the praise of the two immortals before he stepped forward to touch the spar again.
Like Qu Qingge in his previous life, Qu Qingzhen had no immortal fate, although he also showed a hint of disappointment in his eyes, but did not lose his temper, but saluted the two immortal masters again, and then turned back to his mother's side, his eyes staring at his sister tightly.
As Zhou Liniang nervously shook Qu Qingzhen's little hand, Qu Qingzhen also shook Zhou Liniang's big hand tightly, and the village chief's last singing reputation finally fell: "Qu Qingge." ”
Hundreds of pairs of eyes of all sizes present were staring at the girl standing in the middle, the only girl who had not been tested yet, even if it had nothing to do with her own family, she couldn't help but pinch a cold sweat for her.
Qu Qingge behaved very calmly, and when it came to the critical moment, she was not nervous, and there was no more than a touch.
There is such a thing as fairy fate, there is a thing, there is no is nothing, you can only look forward to it, you can't force it.
If there is, everyone is happy, if not, there is no loss, she doesn't have to care so much about gains and losses.
Qu Qingge, who had a frank heart, took a few steps forward, and also performed what she thought was a standard etiquette to the immortal masters, before stepping forward again and reaching out to touch the spar in the immortal master's hand.
As everyone knows, she is now a five-short round figure, just like this with two little meat hands and a serious salute, there is a kind of coquettishness of a child learning from an adult, so cute.
The surrounding girls and daughters-in-law all stared at her with shining eyes, and even the eyes of the two immortal masters seemed to have a hint of funny smiles.
Because of her small stature, the immortal master who had smiled gently at her before also lowered her body considerately so that she could reach the hedron with her hand.
Zhou Liniang almost held her breath nervously, watching the spar go from colorless to shining with extremely dazzling water blue, ice blue, and purple light!
Her daughter has a fairy fate!
Zhou Liniang almost wanted to jump up and cheer regardless of her image, but she was still pulled back to her senses by this solemn scene, but the joy in the corners of her eyes and eyebrows couldn't be hidden.
"Water, ice, and poison are the three spiritual roots, the best purity!" The junior disciple who was in charge of reporting the results also had a happy face, and the end of the words kept rising.
The senior brother also smiled happily, and said softly to Qu Qingge: "Little guy, congratulations, you have excellent qualifications and meet your bone age, and you can enter my sect." ”
Qu Qingge's whole person was stunned, standing in place in a daze, his hand still maintaining the appearance of touching the spar, there was a feeling of being in the clouds, unreal, and his whole body was fluttering.
Finally...... It's done!
Her years of obsession!
