There was some bumps in the carriage, He Ding looked at the passing scenery outside the carriage, and He Qingguo looked thoughtful, and did not speak to each other.

He Ding had a hunch that his father might have something to say to himself, and he was not in a hurry to take the initiative to break the silence. He himself was also a little chaotic at the moment, he didn't want to leave his relatives and friends, but at this juncture, he was inexplicably nervous about the selection of the next disciples, and he had a little yearning for the life of cultivating immortals.

"Ding'er, ah......" He Qingguo broke the silence.

"Huh?" He Ding was stunned, he didn't expect his father to really have something to say.

"Uh...... It's nothing, don't be nervous when the immortals come later, just do everything as he says. He Qingguo paused, his brows were a little tightened, as if he had something to say.

"The child knows. He Ding knew about the selection process four years ago, and he felt strange in his heart. Anyone with a discerning eye could see that his father had something to say to him, but he was prevaricated, and he couldn't help but wonder what his father was going to say to him at this time?

He Qingguo didn't want to say it, and He Ding naturally didn't want to ask too much. I had to put this matter again, recalling the situation when the Zhengqi Alliance came to Anyang County to select disciples four years ago.

The conditions for the Zhengqi Alliance to recruit disciples are very simple, and the threshold is also very low: as long as you are related to the Dao, then accept you as a disciple. How can I know that you are destined for the Tao, the practice of the Zhengqi Alliance is to touch you with many magic weapons, if the magic weapon shines and shines and has a sense with you, it is very good, and it is decided that it is you.

This practice is essentially called the first glimpse of the Dao Foundation, everyone is born with a trace of the root of the Dao, and the amount of this Dao root determines the talent of cultivating the truth in the future. It's not that ordinary people don't have a dow, but that there are too few. Some special magic weapons can sense the Dao base in the human body and cause a reaction.

He Ding is not afraid that he has no Taoist fate, so that he can feel at ease in the imperial examination. What he was afraid of was that if he really had the talent for cultivating truth, then the choice would be placed in front of him, making him a dilemma.

......

After about half an hour, the carriage finally stopped.

He Ding and He Qingguo got out of the car, and many people had gathered around waiting for the arrival of the immortals. The location is the same as four years ago, it is still in the market center of Anyang County, which is very open, and now the platform has been set up, the colorful flags are fluttering, and the lanterns are colorful, and it is very grand.

"Third brother, why hasn't the immortal shown up yet!" He Ting jumped out of the carriage behind him, rushed through the crowd, and came to He Ding's side.

"Do you think the immortals are just like you? He Ding touched He Ting's forehead.

"Why?" He Ting looked puzzled.

"In this way, we can show the nobility of the immortals, you see, even if someone comes an hour late, we have to wait for him here. He Ding explained, "If you don't wait, it will be a great disrespect to the immortals." ”

"Oh, that's right. He Ting seemed to understand.

"Let's go, let's go in by the platform, and you can see it clearly. He Qingfeng followed and said.

So everyone moved to the closest place to the platform, and the crowd consciously gave up their seats during the period, after all, the He family is a famous family, and they hold the military power of Anyang County in their hands, and they are the number one person in the entire county.

After a while, the crowd next to He Ding automatically dispersed again, leaving a large open space. He Ding heard a whisper in the crowd: "The Qiu family is here", so he turned his head to look over and saw a familiar figure in the crowd, Qiu Shiyue.

Qiu Shiyue is the kind of person who can be recognized at a glance even if she is placed in a sea of people, with a melon seed face, crescent eyes, sword eyebrows and starry eyes, she has grown very handsome at a young age, and her whole body reveals a heroic spirit. Today is finally dressed as a lady, if it is on weekdays, she is completely like a tomboy, laughing with He Ding, and she doesn't mind.

She was dressed so beautifully today...... He Ding was stunned.

I don't know if it's intuition or what, Qiu Shiyue looked around, and suddenly found He Ding staring at her, her face was slightly hot, but she still greeted He Ding through the crowd.

"Brother He Ding! Brother He Ding!"

Only then did He Ding come back to his senses, feeling that he was really out of shape just now, and his face was red. After a slight embarrassment, he also put up a smile and shouted to Qiu Shiyue, "Why are you here too?"

"I ...... I'm not here to see you, I'm here to see the immortals!" Qiu Shiyue replied.

This little girl...... He Ding burst out laughing.

"What are you laughing at! If you don't believe me, forget it!" Qiu Shiyue pretended to be angry and pouted and turned her head to the side.

He Ding was about to explain, when suddenly the crowd burst out with a shout of "The immortals are coming!", and then it was as if the pot had exploded. He Ding's voice was completely drowned out by the noise around him, and he was a little helpless, so he had to look at the sky with the crowd.

At this time, the sky was already very bright, but in the distance, you could still see three extremely dazzling white streamers flying towards this side, the white light was dazzling and abnormal, wanting to compete with the sun. He Ding only felt that the white light was extremely fast, and in the blink of an eye, it was already almost in front of him, leaving a long trail in the air and slowly dissipating. The three streamers slowly stopped above the crowd, shining brightly, making people dare not look directly, but they didn't fall down for the first time, still floating in mid-air, exuding a dazzling white light.

"Welcome to the immortals!" the host old man on the stage shouted loudly, and the first one knelt down, stretched out his hands, and bowed to the white light.

"Welcome to the immortals!" The crowd in the audience also followed the old man's example and bowed down one after another. He Ding was no exception, but he secretly said in his heart: The immortal shelf is really big.

After the crowd knelt down, the white light in the air could be regarded as moving, and the three white lights slowly descended under the gaze of the crowd, and at the same time gradually dissipated the light, so that people could see the appearance of the immortals in the light cluster.

It was a middle-aged man dressed in a purple gorgeous costume, with a flying sword at his feet, his body was quite bloated, with a handful of beard, the collar was trimmed with gold wires, and he wore a huge jade wrench on his hand, it was hard to believe that this was an immortal. Behind him were two young men dressed in white, with a hint of fairy style.

"This immortal looks similar to the old man of the Qiu family. He Ting whispered in He Ding's ear.

"Shhh He Ding made a gesture of silence, and He Ting obediently closed his mouth.

The man He Ding had met four years ago, and his name was Zhou Lu. At that time, as soon as Zhou Lu appeared, he shattered his beautiful illusion of immortals, where is this immortal, this is obviously a rich man! After that, He Ding's interest in cultivating immortals was greatly reduced. It's just that this time there are two people behind him, which He Ding has never seen, so he thinks it should be his disciple.

"Why is Old Chen so polite, Zhou doesn't dare to be it!hahahaha!" Zhou Lu arched his hand and laughed roughly. With this laughter, the entire ground began to shake, and the crowd began to stir, and some people shouted "Immortal Divine Power!!"

He Ding was also taken aback, but he didn't expect this man to look no different from ordinary people, but the power of laughter was so terrifying.

Is this an immortal? He Ding said in surprise.

Chen Lao on the stage was not much surprised, he beckoned, and someone immediately came up with a large wooden box in the audience, He Ding stood on tiptoe, trying to see what was inside.

"Oh, this is?" Zhou Lu raised his eyebrows.

"Immortals, this is the Tianshan Snow Lotus I sent someone to collect, it has a lifespan of fifty years, and it is said to have the effect of rejuvenating the face and resurrecting the dead. I hope the immortals will accept it. Chen Lao arched his hand.

Hearing that it was the Tianshan Snow Lotus, the crowd also let out bursts of exclamations. The moment the box opened, it seemed that a few faint rays of light flew out of the box, and then dimmed. The snow lotus in the box was preserved with ice cubes, and a cold air wafted out. For the snow lotus, He Ding also knows a little from the book, he only knows that this lotus generally grows on thousands of feet of icebergs, it is extremely difficult to pick, and the number is scarce, and the ten-year-old snow lotus is already quite precious, let alone the fifty years old. However, the effect of Snow Lotus is not as miraculous as Chen Lao said, at most, it can beautify the skin, nourish yin and replenish yang.

"Tianshan Snow Lotus is okay, but it's been fifty years...... It's a little less. Zhou Lu rubbed his chin, as if he was still a little dissatisfied, "Well, it's always Old Chen's intention, and I, Zhou, will accept it." ”

As soon as Zhou Lu waved his hand, the box rose into the air, quickly became smaller and flew into the pocket of Zhou Lu's waist under everyone's noses.

"Immortal supernatural powers!" the crowd exclaimed, and some even fell to their knees and kowtowed in respect.

Hmph, mortals, it's just the most ordinary Qiankun bag that is scared like this, and my Uncle Zhou's real ability hasn't been shown yet. Zhou Lu said contemptuously.

"Dare to ask when the Immortals will start the conference?" said Chen Lao respectfully.

"Don't waste everyone's time, let's start now. Zhou Lu waved his hand again, and something flew out of his pocket, quickly becoming larger and as tall as a person. Everyone looked at it and saw that it was a nine-foot-high mirror.

"This mirror is called the Dao Heart Mirror, which is the magic weapon of my Zhengqi Alliance, which can not only illuminate people's Dao hearts, but also break evil and punish demons. Zhou Lu talked eloquently, "Later, the dolls will come up one by one to take a look, if the mirror is lit, then you can become a disciple of my righteous qi alliance, if it is not bright, then it can only be said that you have no relationship with the Tao." ”

It is true that the Dao Heart Mirror is the magic weapon of the Righteous Qi Alliance, but the one in Zhou Lu's hand is actually just an imitation of the Dao Heart Mirror, not to mention breaking the evil and punishing the demons, but it is still not a problem to follow the humane heart.

"It's not the same as it was four years ago ... He Ding said secretly, if the disciples were selected in this way, then there would be no talk of releasing water.

"Then come up to the dolls who are over sixteen years old this year and are under twenty. Chen Lao held a booklet in his hand and said to the crowd.

"Go ahead. Don't be nervous. He Qingguo looked at He Ding and patted him on the shoulder.

"Third brother, I'm sure you can!" He Ting cheered on the side.

"Yes, the boy is gone. He Ding and his second sister He Ying glanced at each other, nodded, and then walked out of the crowd together and stepped onto the stage with many peers. The platform was bigger and sturdy than expected, and more than a hundred people stood on it and it didn't seem too crowded, and He Ding stood in the crowd, a little nervous.

He saw Qiu Shiyue waving to him desperately in the audience, and the lady's appearance was completely gone.

"Have you all arrived?" asked Zhou Lu.

"Back to the immortals, the dolls that meet the conditions this year should all be here. After carefully counting the booklets, Chen Lao said beside Zhou Lu.

"Then let's start now, who will come first?" Zhou Lu glanced at the people on the stage and said with a smile.
