Chapter 42: The Soul Measuring Conference
Li Huaide looked around the courtyard for a week, locked the courtyard door and turned around to help his daughter-in-law, Aunt Li, who had a big belly, smiled and pushed her husband's hand away and said:
"Don't help, I can go by myself, let's hurry up and go to the post station, there are many people entering the city in the past two days, and I'm afraid that I won't be able to rent a car if it's late." ”
Li Huaide sighed, smiled at the green-shirted woman beside him, nodded and beckoned his two sons to rush to the post station.
The woman in the green shirt is called He Rou, with a slender figure and a beautiful face, giving people a feeling of being a lady, but there is a touch of firmness and sharpness between the eyebrows, and the whole person looks heroic and compelling, He Rou is the only woman in the Shenhu Mansion in Chengping County to walk, and she has been at Aunt Li's house for more than a year.
It was the second year that Jing Fei came to this world, Aunt Li, who had a big belly, walked steadily to the kitchen with a bucket of water, and Li Huaide, who had just come back from outside, saw his daughter-in-law carrying a bucket as soon as he entered the courtyard gate.
Aunt Li listened to nothing and silently entered the kitchen, she is a person who has given birth, and understands the feeling when she is about to give birth, but this time it is different, the fetus in the womb is not kicking or making noise and is quiet, and her body and spirit have not been affected by pregnancy at all during this time, this abnormality makes her faintly afraid.
In the tenth month of pregnancy, there was no sign of imminent labor.
In the eleventh month of pregnancy, there was no sign of imminent delivery.
In the twelfth month of pregnancy, there was still no sign of giving birth, and the neighbors came to visit, and they were surprised to say that the child in the womb must be extraordinary in the future, and it is not accurate to conceive in this world in October, and there are not a few who are pregnant for eleven or twelve months, so Aunt Li's vision does not seem shocking.
In the thirteenth month of pregnancy, Aunt Li's family began to panic, and Zhang Jingchang took Jing Feiguoer to come on a trip and everything returned to calm.
According to the law of Hanyuan City, if a woman is pregnant for one year and has not been born, she must report to the government in time, knowing that those who have been pregnant for more than a year are either reincarnated as gods or demons, and the government is notified in order to protect or control it as soon as possible.
Just when Aunt Li was discussing with her husband whether to call Zhang Jingchang to take a look again, someone from the family suddenly visited, and it was Li Xian, the head of the county government, Zhao Mingde, Zhao Mingde, Zhang Jingchang, Guo'er and Jing Fei.
Although Zhang Jingchang had already greeted the county government, it was too rare to be pregnant for thirteen or fourteen months, and the county government and the Shenhu Mansion did not personally confirm it, so they shouted to come over and have a look.
Zhao Mingde personally cast a spell to check, and in the end he didn't see anything else except to confirm that it was not a demon, which made Zhao Mingde and Li Xian very puzzled, Zhang Jingchang and Jing Fei's hearts were open, but they tacitly did not open their mouths in this matter.
In this way, the Divine Protectorate arranged for He Rou to come over just in case.
Now that Aunt Li has been pregnant for more than two years, the child is still delayed, and Zhao Mingde has come to check it a few times during the period, but each time it has ended without a problem. Aunt Li's family also seems to have seen it, everything is as usual, what should be done, maybe one day it will suddenly be born.
When I came to the post station, it was already full of people, but fortunately, the post chief knew He Rou of the Divine Protector Mansion and personally arranged a car for Aunt Li and her party.
At the same time, the Soul Measurement Conference Supervision Envoy also arrived in Chengping County, the Soul Measurement Conference every three years is a grand event of the entire Hanyuan City, the city above the county level will be the holding point of the conference, the conference is held by the local government and the Divine Protector Mansion, and the Fulin Chamber of Commerce will provide personnel and material support, and there will be a supervisor appointed by the county town to supervise and register the register.
Aunt Li's family rushed to the county seat for the spirit testing conference, the two sons Li Xian Li Liang and Guo'er are the same age, two years ago in the spiritual institute did not test the cultivation qualifications, both Li Huaide and Aunt Li are more open, since there is no immortal to ask for immortal Taoism, then live a peaceful life, but the spirit testing conference stipulates that all children who have reached the age of ten must be present for testing, so although they already know the test results, they have to test again.
Today, the spiritual temple is closed, and Cui Yi went to the county government to discuss matters related to the spiritual conference, Guo'er Jing Fei did not go to the spiritual seminary, and when he heard the news that Aunt Li was coming to the county seat, he took Jing Fei and Zhou Zhixuan to the city gate early in the morning to wait, but fortunately, Qianxun and Zhang Dongyang would not be bored.
It is estimated that Aunt Li is pregnant, and Aunt Li's family arrived in the county seat in the afternoon, looking forward to the stars and the moon finally waiting, Guo'er jumped into the car and hugged Aunt Li's arm and chattered non-stop, Jing Fei smiled and greeted Li Huaide who was driving the car, and then took Zhou Zhixuan to guide the way.
On the first day of February, the festive atmosphere of the Spring Festival has not yet dissipated, another grand event is rushing one after another, the couplet at the door is still bright red, the red lanterns hanging high will not have time to be removed, and the carriages and crowded crowds on the street all announce the upcoming important day.
The carriage stopped quietly at the gate of Jing Fei's courtyard in the laughter all the way, He Rou did not go in, and Zhang Jingchang informed him and temporarily returned to the Divine Protector Mansion, during the Soul Measuring Conference, the crowd of people is most likely to have accidents, the Divine Protector Mansion is mainly responsible for the safety of the conference, with Zhang Jingchang, a third-order monk by Aunt Li's side, He Rou is also relieved.
The next day, Jing Feiguo'er went to the Divine Protector Mansion very early, and during the Soul Measurement Conference, there were a lot of people, which was better than the Lantern Festival Martial Arts Meeting, except for those who came to the Spirit Measurement with their children, more people came to watch the ceremony.
There is still a world of difference between the people who live in this world and the spiritual qualifications of the child, when the child measures the spiritual quality, it indicates that he is about to embark on a different path, this road is infinitely leading to immortality, this road is full of thorns and dangers, but all those who have the qualification of cultivation are duty-free to embark on this road without hesitation, compared to the coming-of-age ceremony spirit testing conference that joined the army at the age of fifteen is undoubtedly more grand.
The conference was held on the third day of the second month of February, in order to ensure the order of the conference, on the second day of the second month of February, all the children who came to the spiritual test will go to the county office to receive the corresponding number, during this period the county government personnel are sent to the streets, according to the previous practice, the order of the number collection site is responsible for the students of the spiritual institute and the manpower allocated by the Fulin Chamber of Commerce.
There are five tables at the entrance of the county ya, representing five passages, and the students of the spiritual institute led by Jing Fei are dressed in white uniforms and interspersed with the crowd, fortunately, the people are of high quality and the team is in order.
Seeing so many children of the same age who came to the spiritual monastery happy, there was a faint sense of superiority first, even Guo'er, who was the leader of the Chengping County Martial Arts Association, Jing Fei didn't feel inappropriate about this, the children at this stage were already vigorous and in their prime, and it was normal to have a little comparison and competition.
Jing Fei came and went to the crowd and carefully paid attention to everyone's words and deeds, and even the subtle expression of the slightly open pupils at the corners of his eyebrows was also in his eyes, Chengping County in the dream was built as early as last year, and now all that is missing is the living beings in the dream, and the dream living beings are the best in the dream life, but Jing Fei's understanding and attainments of the dream world are too difficult now, so he can only retreat to the next best thing to use the living beings in reality as a template, and the spirit measurement conference is an excellent opportunity for the crowd to gather.
Jing Fei faintly felt that in the future, if he cultivated enough runes to comprehend the wings of the dream butterfly, his understanding of dreams would reach a new realm, and if he integrated it into Chengping County in his dreams, maybe he could really give birth to the purest dream creatures.
The registration for the Soul Measurement Conference did not end until Shen Shi, and the children of the spiritual monastery were already exhausted, and only Jing Fei enjoyed it.
When he returned to the seminary, Cui Yi found Jing Fei, and the words meant that Jing Fei would be the master of ceremonies during the conference, responsible for announcing the test results at the spirit testing conference.
Jing Fei was stunned, and he didn't know why he found him.
Cui Yi seemed to notice Jing Fei's expression, and explained with a smile:
"The form of the spiritual testing conference is very simple, the master of ceremonies of each conference has the local Yamen Divine Protector Spiritual Institute tripartite approval, so each session of the master of ceremonies is either the current practice qualification is very good or other aspects are outstanding, up to now, the best qualification to participate in the spirit testing conference has been tested is the second grade, you are the oldest and steady, so yesterday the county council will elect you as the master of ceremonies of this spiritual conference. ”
Jing Fei pondered, indeed as Cui Yi said, the best qualification that has been tested in Chengping County at the moment is the second grade of spiritual quality, the first grade of spiritual quality has not yet appeared, Chengping County will always appear every few years of a product of cultivation qualifications, according to the county records in the county, every hundred years will even be born of a pure body, but limited by various reasons, some children under the age of ten will only come to the test every three years.
Now the second-grade spiritual quality in the county is not only Shi Min Rou and Wang Shu, who only entered the spiritual monastery last year, Shi Min is soft, and Wang Shuren is more introverted than Zhou Zhixuan as his name suggests, although Guo'er is the most dazzling star in Chengping County in recent years, but he is only a fourth-grade spiritual quality, so it seems that only he is the most suitable.
Jing Fei's heart was open that he couldn't agree, and he might have considered it before, but now that he has joined the Sacrifice Palace, Jing Fei has to keep a low profile.
Jing Fei was about to speak, but Cui Yi raised his hand again to stop talking.
"Don't be in a hurry to decide, do you know the benefits of being the master of ceremonies of the Soul Measurement Conference, each master of ceremonies often represents the chief of the current session, this position is most likely to be favored by the Inspector, in addition, the major sects that come to recruit people during the conference will also give priority to the master of ceremonies, this is the practice of the Spirit Measurement Conference. ”
After saying that, Cui Yi waited for Jing Fei's reply with a smile in the corner of his eyes, as if he thought that Jing Fei would definitely make a wise decision after saying the key points.
Jing Fei finally refused, for no other reason, to sacrifice his life.
