Chapter 3: Monks or Mortals

In fact, Pei Ruxi never imagined that Pei Chenglie would be confined, although she was happy to see him suffer, but while Pei Xiangrong punished Pei Chenglie, he also warned her clearly.

If she didn't have a spiritual root, or if the spiritual root was not good, Pei Xiangrong would be disappointed, and he would probably abandon her like a shoe.

Pei Ruxi in the original novel has a spiritual root, does Pei Ruxi, who traveled from modern times, have a spiritual root?

Seeing that the day of Pei's annual spiritual root measurement was getting closer and closer, Liang Jiannan no longer went to the utensils workshop to learn refining tools, but went to the kitchen to stew various tonic soups for Pei Ruxi, as if the spiritual roots could drink tonic soup.

The Pei clan, who had children at home to measure the spiritual roots, were also nervous, either going to the Taoist temple to donate incense money to pray for blessings, or going to the temple to ask for the blessing of the Buddha, or embroidering Taoist scriptures on the clothes worn by the children...... Anyway, no matter whether the method is useful or not, use it first and then talk about it.

Pei Ruxi also felt anxious, inattentive in reading, and sloppy in reading notes. She knew that her heart was not quiet enough, so she simply copied the scriptures to ease her emotions, and if she couldn't calm down after copying it once, she would copy it a few more times and copy it a few more times.

The 40,000-word Taoist scripture was copied by Pei Ruxi for more than 20,000 words, and her heart calmed down and was no longer affected by the tense atmosphere of the outside world.

There must be a beginning and an end to doing things, Pei Ruxi copied the rest of the Taoist scriptures, and then read and studied.

......

......

Soon after, all the children of the Pei clan who had reached the age of five came to the ancestral mansion to measure the spiritual root. Including Pei Ruxi, there are as many as 638 children with spiritual roots who measure spiritual roots, and Pei Ruxi is the first to measure spiritual roots.

In the spacious and spacious Pei's hall, Pei Xiangrong personally presided over the spiritual root measurement ceremony.

He asked for the crystal plate dedicated to the spirit root, and looked at Pei Ruxi expectantly.

Others are also paying attention to Pei Ruxi, wondering whether Pei Ruxi, who was born precocious, will be a monk or a mortal in the future.

Under the stares, Pei Ruxi was a little nervous.

However, it was not up to her to decide whether there was a spiritual root or not, so she steadied her mind and put her fleshy hand on the crystal plate dedicated to the spiritual root, waiting for the crystal disk to react.

In just the blink of an eye, the colorless crystal plate turned into a deep and quiet black, and seven big black butterflies flew out of the plate one after another, dancing around Pei Ruxi.

"Black belongs to water, you are the water spirit root!" Pei Xiangrong, who presided over the spirit root measurement ceremony, laughed three times and said happily, "The seven butterflies prove that the purity of your water spirit root is seven degrees, which is better than my spirit root!"

The higher the purity of the spiritual root, the better the qualification, the ninth degree is the best, and the once is the worst.

Pei Ruxi rubbed his eyes and looked at the crystal plate and the butterfly.

It's strange, the female supporting role in the novel is not Shui Linggen.

Her hand leaves the crystal plate, the butterfly disappears, and the plate becomes transparent again. The hand fell again, Pei Ruxi held his breath and looked at the crystal plate fixedly.

This time, the result was the same as last time, the crystal plate was dyed black, and seven butterflies flew out to dance again.

Pei Xiangrong picked up his daughter and was very happy: "The test is very accurate, you are a water spirit root, with a purity of seven! My ancestor, the Pei family has not had a genius of a single spirit root in four or five hundred years! Be careful of your liver, you are really amazing, you can be more powerful than Daddy in the future!"

The monk next to him also stepped forward to congratulate him, envious and jealous.

The patriarch was also happy that Pei Ruxi had measured the water spirit root, and he had to snatch Pei Ruxi away and hug him.

Pei Ruxi herself doesn't like to be hugged by adults, but she is a child, and adults don't care about her thoughts. She was helplessly hugged by the adults in turn, and her feet were finally able to touch the ground, and as a result, hundreds of children in the Spiritual Root wanted to give her a blessing.

With so many people scolding her, she will definitely be bald.

Pei Ruxi resolutely refused, worried that he was not convincing, and pulled Pei Xiangrong's sleeve.

Pei Xiangrong now treats her as a sweetheart, how can there be any reason not to agree to her?

With Pei Xiangrong's support, Pei Ruxi no longer has to be a wish-making koi.

She watched the children come up one by one to measure the spiritual root and go down one by one, and when everyone finished the measurement, there were only thirteen people with spiritual roots.

Except for Pei Ruxi, eight of the remaining twelve people were five spirit roots, and four spirit roots accounted for four.

There are neither three spirit roots nor two spirit roots.

The patriarch sighed and said disappointedly: "Last year, there were three spirit roots, and the year before last, but this year there is none. ”

Pei Xiangrong said: "This year there is a heavenly spirit root. ”

The patriarch looked at Pei Ruxi, couldn't help but smile with satisfaction, and echoed: "Yes, we have a Heavenly Spirit Root, and the Heavenly Dao still favors our Pei Clan." ”

He didn't look at the twelve children with spiritual roots, and ordered Uncle Pei to take the twelve children down. Children who don't have spiritual roots will be sent out of the ancestral house and go to the school where they should go to read and write, and they don't need him to open their mouths.

As for Pei Ruxi, the patriarch and Pei Xiangrong took Pei Ruxi to meet the ancestor.

The old ancestor is the person with the highest rank in the Pei clan, and he is also the most powerful person in the entire Pei clan who has lived the longest, and he has been in retreat for a long time. Pei Ruxi has never seen an old ancestor, and Pei Xiangrong and the patriarch have not seen an old ancestor for two or three years, and the mystery of the old ancestor can be seen.

The three of them came to the courtyard where the ancestors were retreating, and the patriarch knocked respectfully on the door to clarify the reason.

After waiting for two quarters of an hour, the closed door opened silently, and the old ancestor's voice sounded: "Come in." ”

"Second brother, pick up the past. The patriarch said, "The ancestral cave has a formation, you can step on my footprints later, don't make a mistake." ”

"Hmm. Pei Xiangrong nodded.

Pei Ruxi curiously looked at the steps of the patriarch walking in front, and found that the patriarch paused every step he took, but his expression was not like thinking, but like waiting for the ancestor to give him instructions. But Pei Ruxi didn't hear the instructions, and Pei Xiangrong didn't hear them either.

She couldn't help but wonder: "The old ancestor is secretly instructing the patriarch how to go?" The strength of the old ancestor is the strongest in the Pei clan, and the defense of the cave mansion is so strict, is it a lack of strength or something else?"

A quarter of an hour later, Pei Ruxi saw his ancestor.

The old ancestor was an elegant man around forty years old, with black hair and no wrinkles on his face, much younger than the white-bearded old man Pei Ruxi imagined.

He called her forward, and she obediently walked up to him.

The old ancestor took her hand and pondered for a long time, then let go of her and said, "It is indeed a heavenly spirit root, and the qualifications are good. Looking at the respectful patriarch and the two brothers Pei Xiangrong, "Let her practice the "Flower Appearance Moon Appearance Mental Method", eat spiritual food three times a day, and don't touch ordinary food. Xiang Rong, this is your child, you personally instructed her to cultivate. ”

The patriarch and Pei Xiangrong glanced at each other and replied in unison, "Yes." ”

Pei Ruxi thanked the ancestor under Pei Xiangrong's signal, followed the two elders to leave the ancestral cave, and went to the secret room of the Pei family's ancestral house to take the immortal cultivation method mentioned by the ancestor.

The heart method is written on paper and bound into a book, and the cover is the six words "Flower and Moon Appearance Heart Method".

Pei Ruxi originally thought that the heart method that the ancestor said was not the appearance of the flower and the moon, but she didn't expect it to be, which made her wonder.

"Daddy, can this mental method make me beautiful?" Pei Ruxi asked Pei Xiangrong.

"Yes, cultivating this mental method can make you look better and better. Pei Xiangrong flipped through the heart method, "In the past, let's read the heart method first." ”

"I'm already looking good and I want to get stronger and stronger. Pei Ruxi asked again, "Can this mental method make me strong?"
