Chapter 2 Root Bone Testing
013-04-18
Chu Chuan and Xiao Chen thought about their hearts all the way, and soon came to the county office. By the time they arrived, thousands of boys and girls had gathered in front of the county office. However, except for the personnel on duty in the county government, there was no adult.
This is the rule of the imperial court, not so much the regulation of the imperial court, but the consensus of the major immortal gates in Kyushu. So no one dared to violate this rule. Otherwise, as the eldest young master of the Xiao Chen and Xiao family, wouldn't it be strange that he came to participate in the selection but was escorted by no guards?
Seeing that Xiao Chen and the three of them had arrived, several richly dressed boys and girls walked towards the three of them, and it was obvious that they were the young masters and young ladies of several major families in Linyou County.
Xiao Chen treated Chu Chuan very kindly, but he only had cold words to these people. The smile has long been retracted, and there is detachment in the politeness.
And these people exchanged a few words with Xiao Chen and Chu Chuan and then left, obviously knowing that Xiao Chen didn't want to see them. In fact, if it weren't for the elders in the family telling them to befriend the eldest young master of the Xiao family, they wouldn't have come over to greet them. These people are accustomed to being at home with wind and rain, when did they receive such bird gas?
At this time, dozens of boys and girls walked towards the three of them, but they were all dressed simply. More than 20 of them saluted towards Xiao Chen and Chu Chuan, "Young Master, Young Master Chu." Another five or six people saluted Chu Chuan and Xiao Chen successively: "Young Master, Senior Young Master Xiao." "These dozens of people are servants of the Xiao family and the Chu family.
These people are usually doing chores in the Xiao family and the Chu family, because today rì is an immortal master to select people with spiritual roots, and the major families have released these slaves of the right age yesterday to prepare for the selection of today. If you are chosen, you will naturally jump into the dragon gate, and you don't need to do slavery anymore. If you don't choose, you naturally have to go back to the major families to continue to do chores.
Chu Chuan nodded slightly towards these people, with a gentle expression. Xiao Chen is cold-faced, he is like this, except for a few people, he is a cold god in front of most people, which inevitably leaves people with the impression of arrogance.
Chu Chuan was already late when they arrived, and then a few people arrived one after another. Suddenly, someone exclaimed, "Look, what's that?"
The crowd looked in the direction he was pointing. I saw two extremely thin rays of light coming from the sky. The two rays of light, one blue and one white, quickly became larger, and in an instant, they came to the county office. Only then did everyone see that these two rays of light turned out to be two light swords with a width of two zhang and a length of more than 20 zhang, and there was a person standing on each of the sword bodies, so they were naturally immortal masters.
Before everyone could see the appearance of these two lightsabers, the two lightsabers quickly shrank, became normal size, pierced into the cuffs of the two immortal masters, and disappeared.
"Flying sword!" Chu Chuan was shocked in his heart. A few years ago, he had seen the flying sword of the old ancestor of the Chu family up close. Since he was a child, his father told him how powerful the flying sword is, and how it can kill people thousands of miles away. Therefore, the little Chu Chuan's greatest wish at that time was to see what the flying sword was like.
Three years ago, his wish came true, when the ancestor came to test the spiritual root for him, and after a test, he really had a spiritual root, and the quality of the spiritual root was not low, better than himself. The old ancestor was relieved and complied with Chu Chuan's request, and took out his flying sword for him to look at for a while.
He will always remember the blue flying sword like water at that time, as well as the laughter of the old ancestor, and the happy gods of the second uncle and aunt. However, what he remembers most clearly is his father's relieved smiling face at that time.
These thoughts flashed in Chu Chuan's heart, and then he began to look at the two immortal masters without a trace. At first, an immortal master wore a black sè gown, and he was as handsome as a bamboo. Another immortal master was dressed in a green sè costume, similar to the official uniform of the county order, but it was many times more luxurious, and his expression was serious.
The children present with the immortal master dressed in green sè costumes all knew that they were the inspectors sent by the imperial court. And the other immortal master who really came to select was only seen by the children of those immortal cultivation families.
Many of the children of the family were surprised, because they had already learned the origin of this immortal master from the lines on the former's black shirt.
"It turned out to be Kunlun. Chu Chuan was also a little surprised in his heart. It's no wonder that these people were surprised. Kunlun is in the boundaries of Shanxi Road, where Chuchuan is located, and the adjacent Gansu Road, but it is a well-deserved first sect, and it is also the leading sect in Kyushu.
If you can get the favor of this person, it is not an exaggeration to say that you have climbed to the sky in one step, even if it is just to leave a good impression. In fact, these people are not ignorant of Lu Dao, and in the eyes of such figures, it is impossible for them to attract attention. But people always have luck, knowing that it is impossible, and it is good to have a good thought. So many people were pleasantly surprised.
The black-clothed Kunlun Immortal Master took in the reactions of these people, and then spoke: "I'll test you today, it's very simple, you just need to calm down and put your hands on this stone." Don't be nervous and anxious. "The voice is gentle, not as cold as the legendary immortal master. It also made everyone relax a lot. And at some point, there was a fist-sized stone in his hand.
One by one, the crowd stepped forward and put their hands on the ordinary-looking gray stone. Fortunately, it only takes a little time for each person, otherwise there are thousands of people in front of the county office, and it will never be possible to measure it in one day.
In the blink of an eye, nearly 100 people have tested it, most of them put their hands on it, the stone did not react, only a very small number of people made the stone emit a blue light, this light is strong and weak. The strong ones are like a lantern in the white rì, but the weak ones are almost invisible.
However, regardless of whether they are strong or weak, these people are all chosen, and their names are registered on the side. The person who was chosen was naturally happy, but the person who was not selected was lost and depressed, if it weren't for the presence of the immortal master, he should not be rude, I am afraid that he would have already cried bitterly.
In this way, a ruthless, depressing, and tense atmosphere spread, and the county government, which was still a little stumbling, was suddenly silent, so quiet that it seemed that you could hear the heartbeat of others.
In this atmosphere, many children of the family who already knew that they had spiritual roots could not help but be nervous, let alone those children of ordinary families.
The team traveled very fast, and soon it was Chu Chuan's turn. Xiao Chen took the lead, only to see that after he put his hand on the gray stone, the next moment the stone released a clear blue light. The halo was two turns larger than the previous brightest. The black-clothed immortal master, who had always maintained a gentle attitude, and the extremely serious Tsing Yi Inspector Shi couldn't help but show surprise on their faces and looked at him deeply.
This situation caused a lot of surprise, and many children of the family looked at Xiao Chen with a vague jealousy. With Xiao Chen's amazing performance in front, Chu Chuan's performance was not so eye-catching. Although judging from the degree to which the gray stone bloomed green, his spiritual root was also among the best among those who had passed the test.
Chu Chuan followed Xiao Chen and registered his name on the side.
After that, three of the servants of the Xiao Chen family actually had a spiritual root, and one of them was still immortal, although he only let the gray stone barely shine, but did he have a spiritual root? The other two are a man and a woman, the male is called Lai'an, and the female is called Zhu Xiang. And one of the servants of the Chu Chuan family also measured the spiritual root. This man is a kitchen servant, named Song Ming.
With such a result, Songming, Lai'an, and Zhu Xiang were naturally overjoyed. They were glad that they were able to leap into the Dragon Gate one day, and enter the Daozang Hall with the young master. Although it is inevitable to whisper in this way, the young master will definitely help them, which is definitely countless times better than the groping of them who don't know anything. It is Mu Ne's immortal life with a simple smile.
Chu Chuan and Xiao Chen were also a little happy in their hearts. Where there are people, there are rivers and lakes, and one more of their own people is one more power, and Changsheng is their own servant, and they know the roots, and if they have not entered the Daozang Hall, the two of them will have four more helps. How can you not rejoice?
After two hours, everyone was done. There are more than 3,000 people, but less than 300 have really been measured to have spiritual roots, and there is no one in the real ten.
The black-clothed immortal master held the stone motionless for two hours, without a trace of fatigue. After receiving the gray stone, he said: "The person who has registered his name here today will still be here at the moment of tomorrow, and I will send you to the Daozang Hall on Shaanxi Road at that time." Take nothing with you but what you're wearing, and you can go home. ”
After speaking, he nodded slightly with the supervision history of the imperial court, and was led into the county office by the county order who had been waiting on the side.
