Suddenly there was laughter from all around, and it turned out that the person walking up to the high platform was a little beggar. Wearing a tattered top, the lower body is naked, exposing the little penis.
The little beggar may have washed himself specially, and his body is still clean. Just long hair draped over his head like tangled grass. The little beggar lowered his head and walked quickly to the table. A pair of thin little hands with only bones left tremblingly placed them on the spirit-testing beads. The ridicule coming from all around made him want to run away. He lowered his head and bit his lip to prevent others from seeing the tears in his eyes. He did not give up.
This little beggar has been living in Niuchong Town under the jurisdiction of Tianping County. Other beggars call him Xiaodouzhao. He has been a beggar for as long as he can remember, living with an old beggar. After the old beggar froze to death, he struggled to survive alone in Niuchong Town. He lived a life of hunger and cold, and was looked down upon by others.
After listening to people on the street discussing the spirit testing conference, the little beggar went to a house to steal a native chicken and killed it after repeated considerations. He took the chicken with him on the road and arrived in Tianping County after several days and nights.
The little beggar thought that Niuchong Town was too small and he would starve to death there sooner or later like the old beggar. Even if you don't have great luck when you come to participate in the Spiritual Testing Conference, you can still be a beggar in Tianping County. He heard that Tianping County was much larger than Niuchong Town, and thought life would be easier than in Niuchong Town.
"Look, it's shining." An old woman with a good eye in the crowd screamed. The spirit-measuring bead began to glow with a faint white light, getting brighter and brighter.
With a little "coaxing", the crowd seemed to explode, and they were all talking. It is said that this little beggar is lucky and blessed by his ancestors. The hard days are finally over, and after entering the Zhang family, we will enjoy endless prosperity and wealth.
"Okay, okay, okay," Zhang Guang stood up and came to Taichung excitedly. He took Xiao Dou Ya's hand and looked around and said.
"Good boy, are you willing to come and live in the Zhang family? I will accept you as my adopted grandson, let you go to school and be a young master." Zhang Guang asked excitedly.
"Can you eat enough?" Xiao Douya wiped his red eyes and asked softly. He didn't expect that he was really lucky enough to have such spiritual roots in his body. Now that the Zhang family wants to accept him as their adopted grandson, he doesn't know what the use of going to school is. He only cares about whether he can have enough to eat after joining the Zhang family.
"You can eat enough. You can eat chicken, duck, fish and meat as you like. I will also give you new clothes, so you will never go hungry again. If you are willing, good boy, now grandpa will take you to eat delicious food." Zhang Guang hurriedly said kindly. said
"I do." Xiao Douya whispered back after hearing that he would be full and not hungry, but he was afraid of hunger.
"Okay, now I am here to announce that I will adopt this child as my adopted grandson. The villagers can help bear witness." Zhang Guang picked up the little beggar and said loudly.
The people below the high platform cheered and were happy for the Zhang family. The Zhang family has always convinced people with virtue in Tianping County and never bullied others with power. The Zhang family has a very good reputation and can be regarded as highly respected. When a scholar advocates Guangdong, people will respectfully call him "Zhang Yuanwai".
The families waiting in line to be tested were already a little downcast, but now they have succeeded in meeting a little beggar. They were all encouraged and their morale became high. Zhang Guang took the little bean sprouts off the stage and returned to the Zhang family compound, and the spirit testing conference resumed. However, no miracle happened later. Until the end of the spirit testing conference in the afternoon, no child was found to have spiritual roots.
Liu Yu sat on a high platform and watched the spirit testing conference, admiring Xiao Douya's courage. With such a strong will at such a young age, the Zhang family has found a treasure. After the spirit testing conference, Liu Yu, Magistrate Lin's family and some distinguished people were invited to the Zhang family compound. The Zhang family had already prepared a banquet to entertain them.
"Master Liu, out of so many children just now, only one has spiritual roots. God is a little unfair." Lin Hongyu saw that there was no one around Liu Yu, so he walked to Liu Yu and complained, thinking in his heart that it would be great if everyone could cultivate to immortality. .
Just now on the high platform, Lin Hongyu wanted to talk to Liu Yu. It was just her mother, Mrs. Lin, who kept her from getting too close to Liu Yu in front of outsiders. There are so many people in the audience, it would be bad if rumors were spread by the bad guys. No matter how Mrs. Lin looked at Liu Yu, she didn't like her. She felt that Liu Yu was a hypocrite.
"The ways of heaven are unpredictable. Everything is determined by God. Miss Lin, please be more open-minded." Liu Yu said comfortingly.
"Hmph! Let's not talk about this anymore. Mr. Liu, why don't you like to go out? How boring is it to stay in your room all the time!" Lin Hongyu asked with a frown.
"Those who practice Taoism should be pure of heart and have few desires, and concentrate on practicing at home." Liu Yu said with a serious look.
"Then when you go to Lingwu Villa in a few days, can you take me with you? I haven't been there for a long time. The scenery there is so beautiful!" Lin Hongyu said slyly, blinking his eyes. On the high platform, Zhang Yuanwai invited Liu Yu to be a guest at Lingwu Villa, and Liu Yu agreed. She had been paying attention to Liu Yu's movements, but she heard them clearly.
"This..." Liu Yu didn't know how to answer for a moment, and it felt inappropriate to go with Lin Hongyu.
"Why, you don't want to take me there! Do you think of me as your friend?" Lin Hongyu grabbed Liu Yu's hand, shook it and said softly.
"Okay! Let's go together then." Liu Yu withdrew her hand and agreed quickly, fearing that someone would see her and ruin Lin Hongyu's reputation.
This scene was seen by Wang Lun, the chief catcher who had been paying close attention not far away. Leng Jun's face turned livid and his heart was filled with bitterness.
After the banquet, Liu Yu was specifically stopped by Zhang Guang and did not leave with the other guests. Saying that he needed help with something, Liu Yu was invited to a guest room to wait.
"Tianci, pay homage to Master Tianshi." Zhang Guang pulled a little boy in gorgeous clothes to the guest room and said.
"Hello, Master Tianshi." The little boy said timidly. Liu Yu took a look and found that the boy looked familiar.
"Nephew Liu Xian, this is the good grandson I received this morning, and I named him Zhang Tianci." Zhang Guang said cheerfully.
"Zhang Tianci? That's a good name. Congratulations to Mr. Zhang on your adopted grandson." Liu Yu said with sudden realization, no wonder he looked familiar.
"Nephew Liu Xian, I'm stopping you. I want you to do me a favor." Zhang Guang looked at Liu Yu and said.
"If anything happens, just ask Yuan Yuanwai." Liu Yu replied politely.
"The spirit testing beads passed down from the Zhang family can only detect the spiritual roots of Tianci, but not the spiritual root qualifications of Tianci. I want Brother Liu to do me a favor and use the spiritual detection technique to help Tianci find out what the spiritual root qualifications are like?" Zhang Guang said pleadingly.
"No problem, let's start now!" Liu Yu looked at Zhang Tianci who was leaning next to Zhang Guang and agreed immediately. Liu Yu had learned this spirit-testing technique in the Chuyuan Hall of Huangsheng Mountain. It was a first-grade intermediate auxiliary spell. Its function was to help people test their aptitude for cultivating immortals and what specific attributes of the spiritual roots they contained.
Liu Yu sat cross-legged on the wooden bed and asked Zhang Tianci to sit opposite him with his upper body naked. I saw Liu Yu closing his eyes and casting a spell, holding mudra with both hands. After a while, I saw a colorful ball of light emerging between Liu Yu's hands.
