Chapter 29 Xie Qingyi
The blink of an eye was five days later.
While the sky was still dark, there were already quite a few people gathered at the entrance of the county courthouse, and most of them came with children.
The Spiritual Roots Test was held once every five years, and basically those who were willing to participate in the Spiritual Roots Test had done so long ago, so most of the people who came this time were children between the ages of three and about eight, along with their accompanying parents.
When the sun rose from the east and the first rays of sunlight hit the earth.
Jiang Chen and Fang Kun both descended from the sky and hovered in the air.
"Greetings, Immortals."
The people below bowed their heads in greeting.
Jiang Chen and Fang Kun slowly landed on the ground.
Jiang Chen smiled and said, "We are only Immortal Cultivators, we are not considered Immortals, we will now begin the test, all those who need to be tested will step forward and line up, the rest of the idle people will step back.
Although Jiang Chen said this with a gentle face, the fear that ordinary people had for Immortal Cultivators was already deeply rooted in their hearts, and the people around them quickly dispersed.
Only a few children came forward to stand in line, some of them were the older ones pulling the younger ones, and the infants who were truly alone had no choice but to honestly stand in the back of the line.
Fang Kun took out his spiritual energy ball, while Jiang Chen took out a pen and paper and prepared to record.
The first one to step forward was a seven or eight year old child, although he was nervous, he still forced himself to walk forward, and step by step, he walked in front of the two of them.
"Put your hand on the ball."
The child immediately placed his hand on the spiritual energy ball, and before he came, the people at home had told him that the Immortal Leader would take out a transparent ball and place his hand on it.
If a color bursts out, then he has spiritual roots and can cultivate immortality; if there is no reaction, then he can only be a mortal in this life.
"No immortal roots, next," Jiang Chen said matter-of-factly.
A sentence without a first destiny, this child's face was full of loss, he lowered his little head and walked backwards.
No immortal destiny is the fate of Heaven, no one can change it, at least in this world, there is no way to get a spiritual root, unless you fly up to the upper world, there might be a way.
One by one, the children came up with excitement and nervousness.
Jiang Chen and Fang Kun were already a little tired.
A small hand was placed on the Spiritual Power Orb, and suddenly, a blue light flickered on it.
The two of them looked at each other in disbelief, it was a single Spirit Root.
Although for the Danding Sect, single Spirit Root although less also existed, but this kind of remote small county, basically the ancestors have not produced immortal cultivators, originally appeared to have Spirit Root disciples is less, let alone a single Spirit Root disciple.
This probability can even buy a lottery ticket in the previous life.
"Single Spirit Root, can you enter my Danding Sect, what's your name?" Jiang Chen collected the expression on his face and asked.
"Wow, entered."
The crowd of onlookers cheered, even if they weren't their own children, they were happy.
The little girl's delicate face looked no more than three or four years old, staring blankly at Jiang Chen, thinking that she usually didn't have much contact with strangers, and didn't react for a moment.
Behind the little girl, a naive young man came up and said with a smile, "This is my daughter, her name is Xie Qingyi.
"Father," the little girl shyly pulled the young man's hand, her body leaning in the direction of the young man.
Jiang Chen and Fang Kun glanced at each other, this little girl is not good to deal with ah, originally selected disciples should be taken directly to the next county, and then pulled directly back to the clan, but this little girl is too small, with the trouble.
Jiang Chen can't help but spit in his heart, the clan's rules, can't set a lower limit, like five years old and above can test the spiritual root, forget it, single spiritual root disciple, bring back to the clan, surely there are elders to take in the disciple, they don't have to worry about it.
"You guys wait on the side," Jiang Chen said casually.
The test continued, and a six-year-old boy with four Spirit Roots was tested next, with Jiang Chen briefly explaining to his parents.
Jiang Chen briefly explained to the boy's parents that the four Spirit Roots could cultivate immortality, but the path to immortality was a bit bumpy.
When the boy's parents heard this, they still didn't hesitate to let the boy cultivate immortality, because this was a rare opportunity Ah, even if the path to immortality was bumpy, as long as there was a glimmer of hope, it was still better than being an ordinary person for the rest of his life.
After the test ended, the people in front of the district office had not dispersed yet, all waiting to see the immortal's means.
"This big one can be brought, this little one ..." Jiang Chen said thoughtfully.
Fang Kun looked at the little girl who was still pulling the young man's hand, sighed, can not, the day after tomorrow morning to pick up, the afternoon should be able to arrive at the clan.
Jiang Chen thought for a while, looked at the little girl for a few moments, walked over to the youth and said.
"You little girl, can you sleep alone at night, there shouldn't be any problems with eating and dressing or anything else?
Youth naive face surfaced a few points of fear, "the family is poor, her mother and I are busy with livelihood, this girl from childhood what all do well, can dress themselves to eat, sleep is not a problem, immortal do not have to worry, will not give the immortal to cause trouble".
He looked as if he was afraid that Jiang Chen would not accept the little girl.
I'm afraid that this honest Hanyou doesn't know what the meaning of Single Spirit Root really is, but Jiang Chen didn't want to talk about it, in case this youth goes back and talks about it again, people's hearts are treacherous ah, some unnecessary trouble can be avoided as much as possible.
"Okay, I'll take it with me, you guys talk for a while, we'll leave," Jiang Chen said as he looked at the youth.
The honest youth suddenly wet his eyes.
"Good, good, thank you Immortal," he said, pulling the little girl to the side as a woman came out of the crowd, holding a child in her hand.
After talking to Fang Kun, the next time was to say goodbye to his family, this boy was a bit older and knew better, although he didn't want to part with her, he just wiped his tears and stood at Jiang Chen's side.
The little girl, still with a face of indifference, did not know that this farewell might take years to see each other, or, at that time, she already did not remember her parents, did not remember this small remote county.
The woman took out a handkerchief from her pocket, her tears could not stop flowing, and she said in a choked tone.
"On this handkerchief, there is your name, there is the address of our home, remember to come back to see it in the future".
"Don't cry, it's a good thing, our old Xie family is also considered the smoke from the ancestors' graves," the boy tried his best to smile.
The little girl put her little hand on the woman's face and wiped away her tears, and finally, the young man urged the little girl to be obedient, not to bother the immortal, and so on, before reluctantly sending the little girl to the front.
