The weather is getting colder, the snow is getting heavier, and night has fallen.

The streets and alleys of Linjiang City have long been closed, and on such a cold day, people wish they didn't go out all day!

In a remote alley, a little girl in ragged clothes curled up on the ground shivering, her eyes slightly closed, and the corners of her mouth smiling.

She seemed to be in a dark corridor, with a golden gate at the far end. "My mother is waiting for me inside the door!" She was overjoyed at the thought of this, and hurried to the door.

Just as the door was within reach, a familiar call came from the darkness, the little girl paused, the voice became more and more urgent, and the corridor began to shake violently, she hurried to push the door, but unfortunately the door had long since disappeared.

"Little sister, little sister, wake up!" a little boy, who was only about eight years old, shook the little girl's thin body vigorously.

The little girl slowly opened her eyes. The snow was still falling, and she subconsciously tightened her body, but it was useless, she still felt very cold.

"Ergouzi, do you have anything to eat?" The little girl saw the little boy's eager eyes, her heart warmed, and she still asked the most important thing.

When the little girl saw that the little boy had not spoken for a long time, her heart darkened, and she did not say anything more. Shamefully, they haven't eaten in two days!

After a few more moments, the little boy curled his somewhat blue hands and feet into a ball before he said:

"On the way back, I heard a piece of news. ”

When the little boy said this, he paused deliberately, but the little girl did not speak, so she had to continue:

"I heard that tomorrow there will be immortals in Linjiang City to test the spiritual root, and whoever goes to the test will be rewarded with a fragrant big chicken leg regardless of whether they have a spiritual root or not!"

The little boy couldn't help swallowing his saliva, and the little girl also licked her dry lips, but she didn't believe it, and said tremblingly: "Last time Mojiazhuang celebrated his birthday, he was kind, but it was just a bowl of porridge, are the immortals richer than Mojiazhuang?"

"But ......"

"The last time the restaurant in the east of the city opened, it said that it was free to eat and drink that day, but we were not allowed to enter, so we can see that what the adults said should not be true. ”

Only then did the little boy suddenly realize that he said:

"Yes, it's still the little sister who is smart, I'm afraid that the chicken leg is prepared for good clothes, let's not go, so as not to be beaten for nothing!"

The next morning, they decided to try their luck.

There was still a mile from the square, and they leaned nervously against a big tree, not daring to go forward.

In the distance, the square with a radius of more than 100 zhang has already been crowded, the center of the square is built with a platform of a zhang high, the middle of the platform flashes a faint light curtain, just divides the platform into two, and there is a person in Tsing Yi standing on the left and right.

The little girl watched from a distance for a few moments before she understood the test process: the subject ascended to the platform from the left and passed through the light curtain in the middle to complete the test. At this time, Ergouzi pointed to the right side of the platform and said, "Little sister, look, there are really chicken legs!"

The little girl was also very happy, her face suddenly changed, and she said hurriedly: "Let's go quickly, there are not a few chicken legs left!" As he spoke, he pulled Ergouzi through the crowd quickly, stepped onto the left side of the platform, and was about to pass through the light curtain to get chicken legs, when a big hand that came out of nowhere grabbed her collar and lifted her up like a chicken!

The little girl was startled, and her hands and feet tried to break free of the big hands. The second dog was also anxious, and pounced on the owner of the big hand, and before he could get closer, he was kicked in the stomach, and his body fell under the platform along the established arc line.

The little girl cried urgently, and fell from such a high platform, and the two dogs were crippled if they were not dead. At this time, a voice said: "Two little rabbit cubs, if you want to measure the spiritual root, go to the side and line up first!" After speaking, he threw it lightly and threw the little girl off the platform!

The little girl felt her body fall to the ground like catkins.

She looked at the man in Tsing Yi on the platform in a daze, is this the immortal method of immortals? She couldn't help but feel a little longing, if she also knew the immortal method, her mother would not have died of the wind and cold, and she would not have been on the streets, begging for mercy from others.

"Haha, the beggar is also trying to cultivate immortals!"

"It's not, as the saying goes, don't force it all the time in life, I don't understand this truth, and I dare to be embarrassed on stage!"

Most of the people in the crowd watched the lively good deeds, and after they saw the immortals throwing the two beggars off the platform, they turned their heads and ears, and some even rubbed their palms and fists, which had the potential to drive the two little beggars away.

The little girl naturally heard the laughter in the crowd and the sound of grinding her palms and fists, but strangely no one came to pick them up. That said, she didn't bother to pay attention to them. She turned her eyes to look at Ergouzi, his eyes were sallow and bright, and his hands trembled slightly.

"Little sister, let's go and line up!"

"Good. ”

The little girl silently counted the number of people in line and the number of chicken legs: there were seven people in front of them, and there were eight chicken legs! She and the second dog could at least share half of it! She couldn't help but clench her little fists.

The test went on quickly, and after a while, there was only a little boy about ten years old dressed in ordinary clothes.

The little boy walked briskly across the light curtain in the middle, and in an instant the light curtain appeared in five colors, each color evenly distributed over the light curtain.

"What's your name?"

"Ye Tian. ”

"Your spiritual root has a balanced five attributes, and you can become an outer disciple of the True One Sect, are you willing?"

"Yes, yes!"

"Okay, you go there and wait first. ”

"Me, can I still take the chicken legs?"

"Take it all!"

The little girl watched the little boy named Ye Tian take away all the remaining chicken legs, and her whole body trembled with anger, but she was helpless! She slowly walked onto the platform, carefully walked through the light curtain, and found that the light curtain had not changed, so she breathed a sigh of relief, and walked straight to the monk in Tsing Yi, only to find that it was an old man with white temples.

"You don't have a spiritual root, where do you go back and forth. The old man said expressionlessly.

"Didn't you say that you would have chicken legs when you took the test?" The little girl plucked up her courage and said.

The old man was stunned for a moment, and he was not angry, but he admired the little girl's courage, but unfortunately there was no fairy fate. He didn't say much, grabbed his hand into the cloth bag a few times, took out dozens of chicken thighs and put them on the table next to him.

The little girl was so excited that she quickly took one and turned to go down. She waited for the two dogs while eating in a small open space in the middle of the platform under the platform, where could she care about enjoying the delicious taste of the chicken legs after being hungry for two days, and she gnawed it clean after dividing it by two, and there was not even a bone residue left. She touched her skinny belly, regretting that she had eaten too fast, what would she do tomorrow!

She looked up at the platform, where the second dog was talking to the old man, and then she saw the second dog walking towards her.

Ergouzi handed the chicken leg in his hand to the little girl, and the little girl hurriedly waved her hand and said, "Ergouzi, you can eat quickly, you haven't eaten for two days!"

"Little sister, they say that I am a civil and engineering dual-attribute spiritual root, and I can be accepted as an inner disciple!" The second dog was a little trembling in his voice.

"That means you can also learn the Immortal Law?" The little girl was also a little happy.

"Yes, yes, you can learn a lot of immortal methods!"

"Great, no one will dare to bully us in the future!"

"When I come back from school, let's eat meat every day!"

“......”

"Little sister, what's wrong with you?"

"Can you take me with you?"

"They say that there is a difference between immortals and mortals. ”

"Ergouzi, can you not go?"

“......”

The little girl smiled and said, "I'm lying to you, you must learn the most powerful immortal method this time before you can come back!"

Ergouzi was a little uneasy in his heart, but the bright future of cultivating immortals made him forcibly suppress his uneasy emotions, and said happily: "Little sister, don't worry, when I come back, no one will dare to bully you anymore!"

The night in Linjiang City tonight is destined to be beautiful, every household kills chickens and sheep, and the arrival of the immortals will probably make them talk about it for a while.

The little girl walked alone in the empty street, she walked with her head down and walked without a step, her face hesitated for a moment, and then she took out a somewhat hot thing from her bosom, do you want to eat it now?

Before she could react, a chaotic sound of footsteps whistled past her ears, chasing the thing. In the chaos, I don't know who stomped viciously on her right leg, her face turned blue with pain, and she reluctantly moved to the side.

After a while, the streets returned to their winter quiet, and she barely stood up, looked at the cold houses around her, and limped towards the city gates.
