Five-eighty-four: Pseudo-spiritual root
"Ha~ha~"
Early in the morning, Li Ming was woken up by the shouting in the backyard! Before, because he couldn't go down to the ground, he didn't ask Haolong, but today is different! Because yesterday he was already able to walk on crutches. Li Ming walked to the backyard on crutches, where several wooden stakes were buried, and Haolong interspersed between them, constantly hitting the sandbags tied to them.
After a punch, Haolong stopped, wiped the sweat on his body, and said to Li Ming: "Brother Li Ming, how do you feel today?"
"Thanks to Mr. Xiao's elixir, my body has improved a lot!" Li Ming also called Haolong Dao as the people who came to see the doctor.
This place is called Niujiazhuang, so this wonderful little doctor is also surnamed Niu, and their ancestors have been here for generations. Because his ancestor had gone out of the door to a cultivator, their family rose rapidly; So his family not only knows medical skills for generations, but also is proficient in some martial arts.
However, success is also Xiao He, and defeat is also Xiao He. Although the cultivators of this family have made their own family rise rapidly, it is also because of him that the younger generations of the family have gone forward to aspire to cultivate the truth. Since him, none of the children in the family have a spiritual root. Niu Haolong's father also had no spiritual root, so he could only wander around the outer gate, and finally died on the way to a dart. His mother also remarried, so that Niu Haolong grew up with his grandmother. Just last year, his grandmother passed away, leaving him alone.
"Little sir, eat slowly!
Niu Haolong took out the steamed buns and yesterday's leftovers that were distilled in the pot and devoured them, Li Ming couldn't help but persuade.
"No! I've got to hurry up and practice!" Niu Haolong's mouth was stuffed with steamed vegetables, and he said vaguely: "In half a year, Qinglan Sect will enroll students!"
"Qinglan Sect?" Li Ming asked curiously, "Is that where your grandfather and father served all their lives?"
"Hmm!" Niu Haolong stuffed the last mouthful of steamed buns into his mouth, and then went to drive the pile again.
Li Ming had the heart to give him some guidance, but it was a pity that he was a sword cultivator, but the people here were all spiritual cultivators. The difference between sword cultivation and spiritual cultivation is that the aura of cultivation is different. The sword spiritual power cultivated by sword cultivation is actually the evil qi on the magic weapon used by sword cultivation or his own evil qi and internal qi, which is why Li Ming's cultivation has not risen, and Li Jian forced him to compete with the demon cultivators!
In fact, the so-called sword cultivation is not necessarily a sword-maker, but it can also be a sword-maker, a hammer-maker, a spear-maker, and a stick-making ......; And spiritual cultivation does not necessarily have to be a true cultivator, but also a ghost cultivator or a demon cultivator......
Half a year passed in a blink of an eye, and Niu Haolong and a few good partners went to take the Qinglan Sect exam. Li Ming, who had already recovered from his injuries but had nowhere to go, naturally went with him.
From Niujiazhuang to Qingshi City, the seven friends plus Li Ming finally came to Qingshi City after a long journey of three days and three nights, the bluestone rudder of the outer gate of the Qinglan Sect.
The time was calculated, and they set off in the evening, arriving at Bluestone City on the morning of the third day.
"Stop!" When a few friends happily walked into the city gate, they were reprimanded by the soldiers guarding the city gate.
"Uncle Bing, I'm sorry! This is the entrance fee for a few of us. "Niu Haolong's ancestors have been working in the Qingshi rudder at the outer gate of the Qinglan Sect for several generations, so they naturally have a clear understanding of the system of Qingshi City.
"Little brother~" Since those who enter the city at this time are likely to become disciples of the Qinglan Sect, the soldiers guarding the gate spoke politely, but they checked the coins in their hands and said: "This price was the market a few years ago!
"What?" The families of the few friends present are not wealthy, and the money is also pieced together by the family. But Niu Haolong asked unhurriedly: "Uncle Bing, how many people are enough for this money to enter the city?"
The gatekeeper swept the money in his hand again and said, "Three people will enter at most!"
Everyone is a good buddy, who will let in, who will not let in? For a while, everyone was in trouble.
"Decide quickly! There's more to wait for you to enter the city!" urged the gatekeeper.
"Little sir, it's better for you and the two people with the highest martial arts to go in!" Li Ming, who had been silent all along, said suddenly.
"How can that be done? However, Niu Haolong thought that this was not realistic, so he could only say: "Even if everyone can't enter the city together, we must first let those who are not good at martial arts go first! We are skilled, there will always be a way!"
Li Ming said: "Let the martial arts good go first, maybe they can succeed in one fell swoop and become the outer disciples of the Qinglan Sect; If they're lucky, they might even become inner disciples, so they won't be able to figure out a way for the few people who stay outside?"
"And you, little gentleman, you know medical skills, Qinglan Sect recruits disciples, it is inevitable that someone will be injured, you can just earn some medical fees, so you can solve the entrance fees of a few people?"
"Brother Ming is still thoughtful!" Niu Haolong's brothers praised unanimously. But Niu Haolong said with some concern: "But how do you live outside the city?"
"Little sir, I see that I'm almost twenty years old, can't I take care of a few little brothers?" Li Ming replied with a smile.
Just when the gatekeeper asked Niu Haolong's names, ages, and reasons for entering the city, he ordered the carpenter to carve the temporary waist card of Bluestone City for them, and a vote of people shouted from far to near.
"He~I~...... He~I~......"
"Look! Look! This is the dart team of the Qinglan Dart Bureau, look at it! How majestic!" The people who were queuing up to enter the city automatically flashed to both sides, making a way for the dart team of the Qinglan Dart Bureau to enter the city.
One by one, they pointed and envied.
"Xiaolong, are you Xiaolong?"
A dart master riding a tall horse in the dart team deliberately looked at the registration office at the city gate for the waist card, and saw Niu Haolong who was waiting for the waist card at a glance.
Because the scene was very noisy, Niu Haolong didn't hear anyone talking to him, but just wanted to get the waist card to enter the city quickly, so as to find an opportunity to make more extra money, so that the brothers could also go in quickly; So, he didn't notice that someone was calling him.
It wasn't until the master jumped off his horse and grabbed his hand that he noticed that someone had added him, and he couldn't help but look nervously at the visitor and ask, "You, who are you?"
"Does your family live in Niujiazhuang, and your father's name is Niu Dashan?" The dart master was also afraid that he would recognize the wrong person, so he asked again to confirm.
"Yes!" Niu Haolong nodded.
"Your father and I are the same disciples of the Qinglan Sect's Outer Gate Qingshi Helm, my name is Meng Hexiang, and I went to your house when you were six years old!
Meng Hexiang and Niu Haolong's father, Niu Dashan, were admitted to the Qinglan Sect Outer Gate Qingshi Rudder together, practiced martial arts together, went out on tasks together, and pressed darts together, Niu Dashan even blocked an arrow for Meng Hexiang and died.
This is also why Meng Hexiang will go to Niujiazhuang to see Niu Haolong, and whenever Qingshi divides the rudder to enroll, he will pay attention to it.
"You are Uncle Meng!Uncle Meng~" Niu Haolong hugged Meng Hexiang excitedly.
Although Meng Hexiang could not leave the team without authorization, Meng Hexiang had collected enough money for them to enter the city, and Niu Haolong no longer needed to be like this, like this! All of them received temporary waist cards together, and happily inquired all the way to the registration office.
The bluestone rudder of the outer gate of the Qinglan Sect is located in the southwest of Qingshi City, which is as close to the West City Gate as the South City Gate, and the southwest thousand miles of Qingshi City is the most mysterious 'Lost Forest' in the Zichen Continent.
"Ten gold coins!"
The registration office of the bluestone rudder is very simple, two bluestone long tables, one with something like a crystal ball on it, and a piece of white jade more than one meter long and more than a foot wide on the other, both of which are firmly placed on the base.
"No Spiritual Root!Next!" The enrollment disciple looked at the crystal ball that didn't react, and shouted lazily. Li ignored the disciple, but said to the young man who had put ten gold coins in the cash box: "Just put your hand on the crystal ball, you don't need to do anything." ”
As soon as the young man put it on, the test disciple shouted: "No spirit root, the next ......"
Such a young man could only leave Shanshan and walk to Bai Yubi's table, and the test disciple who was sitting at the table where Bai Yubi was placed said coldly: "Those who have no spirit root, there is no need to test soul power, you go to participate in the physical strength test!"
"Ten gold coins, no spirit root, the next ......"
"Ten gold coins, no spirit root, the next ......"
......
"Wood Spirit Root~"
When Niu Haolong handed over ten gold coins and just put his hand on the crystal ball, the crystal ball suddenly bloomed with emerald green light. The test disciple stood up in shock and exclaimed.
The disciples who had been lining up in a neat line all surrounded them. The test disciple said to Niu Haolong respectfully: "Senior Brother Haolong, please do a soul power test here." ”
turned around and led Niu Haolong to the white jade wall table not far behind him. Since the two tables were not far away, the disciple who supervised the soul power test naturally also saw the result of Niu Haolong's spiritual root test: a very pure 'wood spirit root'.
So, he hurriedly got up from the chair and said respectfully: "Senior brother, you can put your hand on the jade bi and concentrate on your hand!"
Niu Haolong did as the disciple said, only to see a series of emerald green horizontal lines appear in the white jade, and after stopping, the test disciple hurriedly checked the horizontal lines above: a slightly thicker one appeared after every nine thin lines, and a slightly thicker and longer thin line appeared after every ten slightly thicker thin lines.
"One hundred and thirteen?" the test disciple exclaimed, "Senior Brother, your soul power is actually one hundred and thirteen!"
Looking at the expression of this test disciple, Niu Haolong asked puzzledly, "Is one hundred and thirteen very high?"
"Of course!" The test disciple explained, "Generally, the soul power of a spiritual root disciple who has not undergone cultivation is only: 'ten'!"
