Chapter four hundred and seventy-fifth small auspicious
June 15th, the 63rd year of Zhengshi, is an auspicious day. It is suitable for foundation ceremony, enrollment, incense installation, sacrifice and consecration.
In the early morning, before dawn, Shuoyang City was already bustling with people. The streets were overcrowded. Families dragged their children and daughters onto the streets, fearing that they would be left behind. With the crowds of people flowing towards the east of the city,
Move.
These households on the street include people who came from various counties and towns a few days ago. There are also people from the city, rich families with brocade belts and silver, and poor people in ragged clothes. They all come to the east of Shuoyang City towards the Immortal Gate.
I came to the Taoist temple set up by Xie Wai, and the Taoist immortal fate has been opened. Today is the first day of the opening of the Taoist Taoist temple.
At a quarter of the hour, the sun was rising and the sky was bright. The "Spirit Testing Dojo" located in the open space east of Shuoyang City was surrounded by people. It was surrounded by a sea of people and a sea of people.
There is a square red cloth high platform built in the middle of the "Spirit Testing Dojo", surrounded by armored soldiers forming a shield wall to separate the agitated people.
The east gate of the ashram is the entrance. There is already a long queue, which is endless as far as the eye can see. People are constantly following, and it is said that the queue has reached three miles away. A large number of officers and soldiers are guarding both sides to maintain order.
Those at the front are all well-known wealthy businessmen in Shuoyang City. These people have spent a lot of money to manage the government and Shuoyang Taoist Temple, and then they are arranged to stand at the front, in order to have a good omen.
"Oh, oh!" At this moment, the crowd surrounding the dojo burst into loud shouts.
I saw four immortal masters coming through the air with their swords and landing on the high platform in the middle of the dojo. These four immortal masters were three men and one woman. They were dressed in bright yellow Bagua Taoist robes. The men were tall and tall, and the women had long hair.
Graceful and as beautiful as a flower, she really has the style of an immortal.
"Taoist Xuanhan" stayed alone on the high platform. Li Feng, Liu Yu and Tang Zhi got off the high platform. Tang Zhi went to sit down in the awning on one side. Li Feng and Liu Yu walked to the front and rear doors of the dojo respectively.
Guard the entrance and exit of the dojo to maintain order in the dojo.
"Taoist Xuanhan" took out a two-foot silver disk and inlaid five red gold, green, blue, fiery red and dark yellow intermediate spiritual stones one by one on the corners of the five-ray array behind the silver disk.<
/p>
Then, face up, he carefully placed it on the sloping spiritual base built in the center of the high platform. This shiny silver plate was the third-grade intermediate magic weapon "Five Elements Soul Plate".
"Everyone, please be quiet. The poor Taoist "Xuanhan" has been ordered by the sect to preside over this "Spirit Testing Conference". Tao gives birth to one, one gives birth to two, two gives birth to three, three gives birth to all things, and all things have spirits. This time
There is no distinction between rich and poor in the spirit testing conference. All children under ten years old can enter and take the test. It will last for one month starting from today." Taoist Xuanhan looked around and said loudly.
"Okay, okay, okay!" The crowd of onlookers suddenly burst into applause, and everyone was extremely excited.
"The auspicious time has come. The spirit testing conference will now begin. Please invite the first child to enter." Taoist Xuanhan looked up at the time and continued majestically.
Wang, the young mistress of the richest man in Shuoyang City, Tang Ji Grain Store, held her half-year-old daughter in her arms. She was the first to climb onto the high platform of the dojo, and was stared at by hundreds of thousands of surrounding city residents. Wang had never seen such a battle before.
My steps couldn't help but feel a little weak. I lowered my head and walked toward Taichung with my daughter in my arms.
"Ms. Wang, a commoner woman, has met the Taoist priest!" Mrs. Wang walked to Taichung, immediately bent over and said.
"Mrs. Wang, please place your beloved's hand in the center of this silver plate!" Taoist Xuanhan nodded and said.
"Taoist Master, is that so?" Mrs. Wang picked up her little daughter, pressed her tender little white hands into the circle in the center of the silver plate, and said.
"Look, it's shining!"
"Is this chosen?"
"The Tang family is so lucky!"
When they saw a burst of spiritual light coming from the silver disk, the onlookers who didn't know the situation immediately let out bursts of shouts, thinking that this person must have been chosen by the Immortal Sect! The first one to take the stage had those spiritual roots.
It's not as rare as the rumors said, and the people queuing up behind suddenly felt excited.
"Mrs. Wang, your love is not destined to be with this sect. Please carry your love with you!" After the light from the silver plate dissipated, Taoist Xuanhan said.
"I know, I know, Taoist Priest!" Wang's face instantly turned pale and she said in despair.
"What's going on?"
"It's shining, why wasn't it selected?"
"Yes! The silver plate is shining!"
Seeing this incident, the surrounding people looked at each other in shock, not knowing what had happened, and there were different opinions for a while.
"Everyone, be quiet and listen to what Pindao said. This silver plate is a Taoist magic weapon, called the "Five Elements Spiritual Plate". The young child on stage will put his hand on the center of the plate, and the silver plate will light up.
Test whether the young child has spiritual roots. If there is no spiritual root, the aura of the silver plate will dissipate after a few breaths. If there is spiritual root, the outer ring of the silver plate will light up with the five colors of aura of gold, wood, water, fire and earth. "Xuan.
Mr. Handao waved his hand to the onlookers to calm down and explained.
"Oh!"
"That's it!"
"The little daughter of the Tang family is not lucky! What a pity!
The people around suddenly let out a sigh. It turns out that the silver plate shines not because of the spiritual roots, but also because of the five-color spiritual light, in order to be chosen by the Immortal Sect.
"Please invite the next one!" Taoist Xuanhan shouted loudly.
……
An hour passed, and nearly a thousand children came on stage, but none of them could make the immortal silver plate emit five-color spiritual light. The people watching and lining up were all rubbing their hands and stamping their feet. How could spiritual roots be so rare?
Not one person among a thousand people has it. It’s really hard to enter the gate of this immortal family!
"Next one!" Taoist Xuanhan's solemn shout sounded again in the dojo.
"Hao'er, don't cry! There's nothing good about this fairy gate!" A chubby father and son were led out of the back door of the dojo by the yamen. The white-haired old woman waiting outside the door immediately stepped forward to comfort her with the support of a maid.
The baby grandson with red eyes.
"Grandma! Hao'er, I'm going to become an immortal, I'm going to become an immortal!" The little fat man was obviously spoiled at home and lost his temper.
"Okay, okay, let's go home, Xiao Jixiang, quickly bring the sugar water to Haoer." The white-haired old woman said to the little girl beside her.
"Master, here you go!" The little girl stepped forward timidly and handed over the porcelain cup of sugar water she had been holding.
"Don't drink! I want to be a fairy!" The little fat man slapped the porcelain cup away with his hand and said angrily.
"Pah!" The little fat boy's father, Fatty Officer, did not reprimand the little fat boy. Instead, he slapped the little girl hard on the face and shouted loudly: "It's no use at all. You can't even hold a porcelain cup. Why don't you clean it up quickly?"
."
"What are you doing! Don't block here, leave quickly!" The officers and soldiers guarding the door shouted angrily when they saw this big family still blocking here.
"Yes, yes, let's go now!" the fat man apologized with a smile, then kicked the little girl who was squatting on the ground to clean up the broken pieces of the porcelain cup, and shouted angrily in a low voice: "Hurry up!"
"Ah!" The little girl was so anxious that a big gash was opened on her palm by the fragments. Blood gushed out and dripped on the ground. However, the little girl gritted her teeth and endured the severe pain. She picked up the fragments of the porcelain cup and held them all in her arms.
, lowered his head and choked up and said: "Clean it up, Master!"
"Let's go!" The fat officer waved his hand, and the whole family was about to leave.
"Wait a minute!" Liu Yu, who had seen this scene for a long time, called out to the big family.
"Master Immortal, what are your orders?" The fat man turned around and saw the Taoist priest of the Immortal Sect, and said with a smile.
"How old is this little girl!" Liu Yu asked, pointing at Xiao Jixiang.
"Six years old, or seven years old, I can't remember clearly at the moment." The fat man was stunned for a moment, and then replied.
"Then she also meets the conditions and can participate in spirit testing." Liu Yu said directly.
"Master Immortal, this little girl has a low life and cannot have spiritual roots, so there is no need to waste your time to become an immortal." Fatty Officer Wai replied contemptuously.
"In front of the Taoist sect, there is no distinction between high and low, and everyone is equal. Zhang Baotou will take this little girl to the front and arrange for her to have her soul tested!" Liu Yu said without any doubt.
"It's the Immortal Master!" Zhang Captou on the side immediately stepped forward and took the little girl into the dojo.
"This..." The fat man couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed. He thought that when this stinky girl came out soon, he would teach her a lesson when he returned home, so that he would lose face in front of the immortal master.
……
"Little girl, what's your name? Why are you here alone?" Taoist Xuanhan saw a little girl in shabby clothes lowering her head and walking on stage alone. He couldn't help but step forward and asked.
"Taoist Priest, I don't have a name, everyone in my family calls me Xiao Jixiang!" the little girl lowered her head and said timidly.
"It's okay! Just press the palm of your hand on the center of the silver plate." Taoist Xuanhan brought the little girl to the "Five Elements Spiritual Plate" and said softly.
"Yes!" The little girl nodded, wiped her uncut right hand on the clean area of her coat, and mustered up the courage to place her palm on the silver plate.
I saw that the central area of the "Five Elements Soul Testing Plate" first glowed with white gleaming light. After a few breaths, the outer ring of the silver plate suddenly lit up with a large circle of blue aqua aura. Seeing this, Taoist Xuanhan couldn't help but nodded and revealed
A smile.
"Oh!"
"Oh my God! Look! The magic weapon lights up blue!"
"Now I'm really selected. This little girl is so lucky!"
"Which family is he from? He looks like a child from a poor family."
……
The crowds around suddenly burst into loud exclamations. Finally, someone was pregnant with spiritual roots. The onlookers were as excited as if they had entered a fairy gate. The somewhat dejected people who were waiting in line were also shocked, and all of them became happy and smiling.
.
"This girl has a single spiritual root of the water element, and is destined to this sect. I am a poor Taoist generation sect, so I will accept this girl into my immortal sect." Taoist Xuanhan announced to the audience in a loud voice.
"What's your name? Go and rest below with your sister. Let's go!" Tang Zhi came up to the stage and held the little girl in his arms and said kindly.
"Sister, my name is Xiao Jixiang!" The little girl followed Tang Zhi with red eyes. Although her little head didn't quite understand what this spiritual root was, she was still a little confused, but she also knew that she seemed to be able to become an immortal and she shouldn't need to be beaten or scolded anymore.
.
Outside the back door of the dojo, the fat man was dumbfounded. How could such a stinky girl have spiritual roots? Why wasn't he his precious Haoer? The officials guarding the back door all looked at Master Liu Xian not far away.
The immortal master could tell at a glance that the little girl had spiritual roots. She was really an immortal!
Although Liu Yu had a straight face, he was very surprised and a little relieved at the same time. He naturally couldn't see anyone with spiritual roots, and he was not really a god. It was just that the little girl looked too pitiful.
I felt compassion and spoke out to give her a chance.
Because if she misses today, she may miss her whole life. With her background, she will probably never have another chance to change her life.
