Chapter Fifty-Seven: Spiritual Root at the Bottom of the Ground Steps
When Yuanlou entered the village, a small number of people have lit a fire, from a high place to see Zhoujia Village, just a small village with more than 300 households, when the map unintentionally swept this village, suddenly remembered his promise to Zhou Yifeng, since it is not far from Qimu Town, he came directly to fulfill the original promise, after all, Zhou Yifeng's Liuyunpa and other magic weapons have saved him many times.
"Is anyone at home" patted the wooden fence door, Yuan Lou shouted inside, walked a few only this one smoked, after a while, a little boy with a puff puff came out, about seven or eight years old, his eyes revealed the purity that only children have, a small face smiled and his eyes were bent into a crescent moon, revealing white teeth, and there was baby fat on his face, his big eyes looked at Yuan Lou curiously, and said in a crisp voice, "Who are you?"
What a cute child, Yuan Lou smiled slightly, bent down, "What about your adult, I want to ask for directions."
Seeing that Yuanlou looked delicate, not like a bad person, the boy had an inexplicable good feeling, and smiled, "I'm lost, come in, the house is cooking, haven't you eaten yet", and enthusiastically pulled Yuanlou towards the house, "Grandpa, come to the guest."
Just like that, he was pulled into the house by the boy's little hand, looked around, a large pot on the stove was covered by a wooden lid, and the fragrance of rice wafted out, the boy let go of the Yuan Building, came to the stove, put a few more firewoods, and then took a knife to skillfully cut the meat, "Big brother, there will be food to eat in a while, soon."
"What about the adults in your family" Yuan Lou saw that the boy was busy and stepped forward to ask.
"My lord, it's just me and my grandfather, my mother is gone, my father has gone to work in a far away town, and he can't come back a few times a year, you are the first guest in my house in the past two years," the boy explained as he cut.
"Is there a guest coming, the old man is not in good health, and he can't greet him" An old voice came from the inner room.
"Really good" touched the boy's head, Yuan Lou turned around and came to the inner room, only to see an old man with a wrinkled face half lying on the bed, a strong smell of medicine in the room, a pair of crutches on the side of the bed, seeing Yuan Lou come in, his cloudy eyes lit up, and he struggled to sit up.
"No, no, just lie down" hurriedly supported the old man who wanted to get up.
The old man nodded and coughed twice, "Listen to my grandson, the young man is lost, right?"
"No, I'm here specifically for Zhoujia Village, I want to ask, do you know where Zhou Yifeng's family lives" Yuan Lou sat on the edge of the bed and looked at the old man.
"Zhou ...... Zhou Yifeng, are you talking about Zhou Yifeng who was taken away by the Immortal Family ten years ago?" the old man lowered his head and thought about it, and suddenly asked excitedly.
Ten years ago, after thinking about it, it should be said that Zhou Yifeng, many sects will choose young people to enter the door to cultivate, so that they are more loyal to the sect, but they still said, "There are many people named Zhou Yifeng in the village?"
"That's not true, it's just that" The old man calmed down for a while, and then suddenly said sadly, "Old man Zhou is no longer here, ten years ago, I heard that some people came to accept disciples, and the whole village was a sensation, a small village like ours can't catch up with the immortal family once in a lifetime, and in the end, only five of the nearly 100 children have spiritual roots, including Zhou Yifeng, the child, they have not come back since they were taken away, hey."
"And after that," Yuan Lou asked.
"In the eighth year after that, that is, the year before last, the village was suddenly attacked by bandits, burned, killed and robbed all kinds of evil, and also robbed Zhou Laohan's daughter Zhou Zixin, Zhou Laohan had a total of two children, his wife died early, Yifeng's child was gone, only Zhou Zixin was left, so he resisted, but in the end he was killed, and my leg was also beaten by the bandits" said, the old man lifted the cover on his body, his right leg was no longer there, the wound was still bleeding pus, and the wrapped white cloth was dyed red.
"Can you let me see" Yuan Lou looked at the old man's frowning brows from time to time, and knew that he was suffering all the time.
"Dare to ask, the young man is an immortal family" The old man asked, with a hint of expectation in his voice.
nodded, it can be regarded as an admit, just a beginner immortal cultivator.
The old man was overjoyed, and did not care about his injured leg, but shouted that his grandson came in, and the boy walked in with a kitchen knife in his hand, "What's the matter, grandpa, are you uncomfortable again?"
"Quick, kneel down for the immortal master," the old man hurriedly commanded, and the boy knelt down when he heard this.
Yuan Lou hurriedly dragged the boy, puzzled, "What does this mean, uncle?"
"Immortal Master, the last time the Immortal Family came, my grandson didn't catch up, it was the biggest regret in my life, today God has eyes, the Immortal Master came to my house, can you help my grandson see if he has a spiritual root, can he be used as an immortal gate?" The old man prayed, although all the people in Daxuan cultivated, only monks with spiritual roots could officially join the immortal gate or the government, and those who did not have spiritual roots could only practice some rough refining methods, and even if they joined, they were the most inferior disciples or officers and soldiers, reduced to cannon fodder, victims, and never came out.
"Test the spiritual root?" Yuan Lou pondered, this self really will, when he was in Shanhe Gate, he wanted to know his spiritual root, and specially asked Fang Ling'er, the test method is very simple, as long as you use a trace of spiritual power to check the Baihui acupoint, located in the center of the head, but Yuan Lou has only seen his own, the spirit root of the yellow order, or the spirit root without attributes, only a little better than the ordinary spirit root, as for the deity, the demon beast has no spirit root, some are just blood, divided into beasts, ordinary beasts, foreign beasts, king beasts, and divine beasts. And there are many acupuncture points on the head, and the soul is in the brain, if it is not a small mental power, it is possible to become an idiot, and when I looked up, I saw the little boy coming forward with a longing look, "Uncle, I have never tested others, and this child is still young, and his brain is fragile, in case he ......."
"The immortal master just needs to test it, wealth and danger are sought, if this child makes a mistake, it has nothing to do with the immortal master" The old man waved his hand to stop Yuan Lou's words, no matter what, he has to test, if it is past this time, I don't know when it will be measured, after the best age, even if it is measured, it is difficult to make a difference.
"Okay" Yuan Lou agreed, took the knife in the little boy's hand, picked it up and put it on the side of the bed, signaled him not to be nervous, and then stretched out his hand a little, and a faint spiritual power appeared on his fingertips, pointing at the little boy's neck.
The curious boy instantly showed a pained look, and his body writhed slightly.
"Don't move" Yuan Lou scolded, closed his eyes and felt the spiritual power, wandering among the weak and small meridians, carefully avoiding the stars and divine courts in the middle. The sun and other acupuncture points, all the way up is very slow, even in the gentle spiritual power there is also lethality, an hour, finally came to the Baihui acupoint, the acupuncture points passing by halfway are dim, and the Baihui acupoint emits a faint white light, only a few acupuncture points in the human body are alive, the rest are dead, need to be opened artificially, the Baihui acupoint in front of it is alive, the spiritual power turned around at the acupoint, and drilled directly into it.
The spiritual power disappeared into the Baihui acupoint, and the boy's painful face relaxed, and his eyes were closed.
In the Baihui Cave, the spiritual power floats in the air, the surrounding darkness is not endless, and suddenly a light appears in front of him, and the spiritual power slowly thinks about the light and floats away, and the heart is also a little happy for the boy, there is a light that means that there is a spiritual root, if there is no spiritual root, the space is pitch black, and I don't know how long it has been, a light in front of him, a small grass composed of cyan spiritual power appeared, and seven grass whiskers stretched into the distance and could not see the edge, Yuan Lou was shocked, just wanted to take a closer look, the grass trembled, and a green aura suddenly appeared, instantly sweeping the spiritual power.
In the room, Yuan Lou, who pointed his finger on the boy's neck, opened his eyes, took a few steps back, and a sharp pain came from his mind, and he snorted, and blood flowed from the corner of his mouth.
The "Immortal Master" old man was shocked, looking at Yuan Lou's injury, "Are you okay?"
At this time, the boy also opened his eyes, looked at Yuanlou in confusion, saw that there was blood at the corner of his mouth, jumped out of bed and comforted, "Big brother, are you okay?"
After a moment, the sharp pain in his mind slowly disappeared, Yuan Lou shook his head, indicating that he was fine, his eyes were full of shock, thinking back to the seven grass whiskers, each of which represented the first order, the boy was the spiritual root of the wood spiritual power of the lower rank, the geniuses of the Shanhe Gate were only the spiritual roots of the middle grade of the Xuan Rank, and there was only one ground level spiritual root in the entire territory of Lanxin City within five hundred years, this person was later recruited as a personal disciple by the ground level city sect at a large price, if the boy's spiritual root was exposed, it would definitely attract a strong sect from afar, and the boy's spiritual root still has attributes, stronger than the spiritual root without attributes, and the induction of wood spiritual power far exceeds that of ordinary ground level spiritual roots, I didn't expect to accidentally discover a genius among geniuses.
"How, Immortal Master, my grandson has a spiritual root" The old man asked, and his whole body was straightened.
"Yes, it's not just that, it's good" Yuan Lou smiled bitterly, didn't say how demonic it was, even if he said it, the other party didn't understand, and pity his own wisp of divine consciousness was wiped out by the spiritual root, the spiritual root is self-defensive, and some means such as forming a light mask will be formed. Such an amazing spiritual root, not to mention Yuanlou, even if it is a master of the Lingji period, even a master of the Linghai stage, don't think about hurting a bit, it has nothing to do with cultivation.
Hearing that his grandson had a spiritual root, the old man laughed excitedly, forgetting the pain on his body, and his face was full of red light.
"Grandpa, slow down, when I become an immortal master, I will definitely protect grandpa, heal grandpa's injuries, and no one will bully you" The boy patted the old man's back and said tenderly.
The "good grandson" touched the boy's head and looked up at Yuan Lou, "Immortal Master, since my grandson has a spiritual root, can I implore the Immortal Master to accept him as an apprentice?"
"Accepting apprentices" Yuan Lou was stunned, a little excited in his heart for a moment, if he can really accept the boy as an apprentice, I believe that he will soon be able to surpass himself, and seeing that the boy is so filial, he is his master, and he can help himself even more, it is definitely a big help, think about it, smile slightly, "Okay, I am willing to accept him as an apprentice."
"Yu Wenxin, eight years old this year, meet the master" The boy knelt on the ground and knocked his head nine times.
"Surname Yu?" Yuan Lou was puzzled, looking at the old man, isn't Zhou's surname in Zhou's village.
The smiling old man's face turned red and he whispered, "I...... My son is rich, and my daughter-in-law died after giving birth, and my in-laws said that our family was unlucky, saying that my son was a wife, and sent the child back directly, and cut off contact."
"Oh" understood the reason, helped the kneeling boy up, "Let's go, the master will cook for you", said and took the boy's hand out of the inner room.
