Chapter 13: The Four Spiritual Roots
The green-robed young man quickly patted the small pocket on his waist and took out a small dazzling color disc from it and held it in his palm. Then he raised his hand and played a trick. I saw that the small dazzling disc suddenly turned into the size of a stone mill after a burst of aura, and slowly rose to the sky above his head under the control of the green-robed youth, and then the disc began to radiate the brilliance of different colors, which was extremely magical.
After everything was ready, the young man in the green robe smiled slightly and said to the twenty-seven teenagers: "Okay, all the children who want to test the spiritual root, you will line up and stand in front of me in a while, and I will conduct the spiritual root test for you one by one." ”
"As for the method of the test, it is very simple, as long as the dazzling spiritual light emitted by my Dazzling Spiritual Disc shines on the back of the forehead and can emit any one or several colors of spiritual light, they will be considered to have passed the test. Anyone who passes the test can stand directly behind Senior Brother Wang and become one of us. When the young man in the green robe said this, he stretched out his hand with a respectful look and glanced at the young man in the white robe who was sipping tea.
"As for those who stand in the dazzling aura for more than ten breaths and still don't have any aura reaction in front of their foreheads, it means that they have no spiritual root, that is to say, they have no connection with the Immortal Dao!
"Listen, hear ...... clearly"
One of the more daring children answered respectfully. Jin Quan and the rest of the children nodded their heads in unison.
"Good!"
When he saw that everyone was looking at him with awe, the young man in the green robe nodded with satisfaction, as if his vanity had been satisfied to a certain extent.
Then, after a brief glance around the boys, he casually pointed to the one on his left, and said, "Then let's start with you." The others followed in turn. ”
"Yes, Immortal Master. ”
The named young man climbed up to the stone platform with a nervous face, and with a slight hesitation, he walked to the bottom of the dazzling spiritual plate and stood still. Then, under the control of the young man in the green robe, the spiritual light emitted by this plate directly covered the entire young man............
One breath,
Five breaths,
Ten breaths.
"No Spiritual Root, next. After ten breaths, the young man in the green robe waved his hand at the first young man without any expression.
"No, next one. ”
..................
Willingness has always been beautiful, but the reality has always been cruel. In the blink of an eye, fifteen of the twenty-seven school-age children had been ruthlessly brushed off, and Jinquan's mood had become extremely complicated.
"It turns out that there are really few people with spiritual roots among mortals!"
At this time, Jin Quan's second brother Jin Ming came to power. Although he was a little nervous, he was one of the oldest children in the group. After the initial uneasiness, he still came to stand still under the light of Yun Lingguang relatively calmly.
One, two, three............
Suddenly, three faint flashes of spiritual light emerged from Jin Ming's forehead.
The young man in the green robe suddenly lit up with a smile, and asked with a smile: "Three Spirit Roots! It will actually be the Three Spiritual Roots! Yes, congratulations, this little brother, what is your name?"
"Ah! My name is Jin, Jin, Jin Ming, thank you Immortal Master Wang, thank you Immortal Master Zhou. Haha, I ...... I, can I become an immortal too!" Jin Ming, who had been nervous and uneasy after standing under the dazzling light of the clouds, suddenly opened his eyes in disbelief and shouted in surprise.
"That's right, Senior Brother Jin, you can stand behind Senior Brother Wang now. ”
After receiving the affirmative approval of the young man in the green robe, Jin Ming was ecstatic and saluted the two young men again and again, and then strode proudly behind the young man in the white robe to stand still in the envious eyes of everyone. At the same time, he squinted his eyes and glanced at Jinquan, who was standing at the end, with a look of smugness. Looking at it like that, if it weren't for the two immortal masters standing on the side at this time, Jin Ming would probably be unable to help but sing a song loudly.
After Jin Ming was picked by the immortals as he wished, the Jin Laoshi couple below were also smiling. Everyone looked at them with jealousy. Even the village head, Jin Changsheng, nodded frequently at them.
The Linggen test continues.
"Three-line human spiritual root, hmm! It's not bad to be able to find such a discovery in such a small place. At this time, the white-robed young man who was sitting on the side and drinking tea boredly also made an exception and opened his eyes and glanced at Jin Ming, and then said, "Senior Brother Jin Ming, you can call us Senior Brother in the future." When all the tests are completed, come back to the Su family with us. ”
"Yes, yes, thank you, Senior Brother Wang. Jin Ming hurriedly saluted, with a humble face.
..................
"No, next. ”
"Still not!"
The results of the test of the spiritual root are always happy and worried, and after experiencing the episode of Jin Ming, the test returned to the same as at the beginning, and after a while, only Jin Quan, the last person, was left among all the teenagers.
The blue-robed young man kept operating the Dazzling Spiritual Disc while announcing the fate of everyone with an expressionless face. When he saw the last teenager still stunned and standing still, he couldn't help but urge: "The last one, it's your turn, hurry up!"
After taking a deep breath, Jin Quan replied loudly, "Yes, Immortal Master. Then he hurriedly trotted all the way up to the stone platform, and then entered the pillar of light emitted by the dazzling spirit disk at the fastest speed and stood still, slowly closing his eyes calmly.
The pillar of light seemed to have a warm feeling shining on his body, but Jinquan, who was standing under the pillar of light, was extremely nervous. He felt that the ten breaths that had passed almost at his fingertips were now as long as ten years had passed. Because he never heard the voice of the young man in the green robe.
In the end, just when Jin Quan was about to be disappointed, the voice of the young man in the green robe sounded in his ears like fairy music. "Well, the Four Spirit Roots, although they are only 'Miscellaneous Spirit Roots', but according to the regulations, you can be regarded as passing. Well, that's the end of the test. ”
Looking at the four-colored brilliance that emerged from Jinquan's forehead, the green-robed young man frowned slightly. He made a faint comment and then announced the result directly. He didn't even bother with Jin Quan's name, and it could be seen that this immortal master was very dissatisfied with the spiritual root attribute that Jin Quan displayed.
"Yes, thank you two brothers. Jin Quan is polite. Jin Quan opened his eyes in surprise and bowed respectfully to the two young men.
Although he didn't know much about what the four spirit roots and three spirit roots represented, Jin Quan knew a little. If you really have a spiritual root, then you can become an immortal cultivator. That's enough for him now, isn't it?
"Alright, two junior brothers. According to the Su family's routine, the two of you still have half an hour to say goodbye to your relatives and friends, and by the way, pack some necessary belongings. Then it's time to go back to the mountain with us. Because once you set foot on the immortal road, it means that the immortals and mortals are separated, so cutting off all the worldly fate is what you have to do now. In addition, there are ten taels of gold here, and you can take them back together to subsidize your family. Senior Brother Wang first waved away the village chief who wanted to stop talking, and then took out twenty taels of gold with one palm and distributed them to Jin Ming and Jin Quan.
Parting is always very sad, and Jin Quan handed over all the gold to Jin Laoshi and his wife. Thousands of words were finally reduced to the word "take care".
Before leaving, he turned around for the last time, and the golden mother holding the gold in her hand and smiling with flowers on her face, and the golden father's reluctant and reluctant appearance were deeply seared into Jinquan's heart at this moment. Jinquan believes that he will never forget these things for eternity. Although Jin Laoshi and his wife are not their biological parents at all, and Jin's mother has always been bad to herself, Jinquan has always respected them.
Gifts or something, Jinquan has nothing to pack up at all. He didn't have much luggage other than a few worn-out changes of clothes. As for the amethyst jade and the small animal skin pouch hanging on his chest, he never left him.
Half an hour's work passed in a blink of an eye.
Jin Quan and Jin Ming followed behind the white-robed youth and the green-robed youth in the envious eyes of the whole village, boarded the boat that became larger again, and disappeared into the sky in a blink of an eye.
