The immortal's fairy boat suddenly stopped, and the surrounding clouds and fog slowly dispersed. Only a loud voice was heard. It was obviously the voice of one person, but it was clearly heard by everyone in the market.
"We are Kunlun Immortal Masters. This year is the day when I accept disciples on the 1st day of my tenth year in Kunlun. Anyone who has the heart to seek Taoism and immortality can come here to test their spiritual roots."
"If you live in the spiritual root, you can become my Kunlun Outer Sect disciple and practice immortal arts."
"It lasts for one day."
The leader was an old man dressed in an immortal style. He waved his long sleeves, and a small object suddenly flew out from his long white sleeves. It started spinning, and finally it grew in size rapidly and turned into a huge stick. of stone pillars.
It fell straight to the center of the market, and there were many seats and futons next to it.
This is really the method of the immortal family.
Countless people were amazed.
Many people finally remembered that they had experienced this before when they were children.
Kunlun Immortal will start recruiting disciples in various places every ten years.
This area is full of people. According to outsiders from other areas, different sects in other areas are recruiting disciples.
Pei Dacheng has also experienced it.
Of course, there is no doubt that he has no spiritual roots.
Immortal, how can such a being like me, who is foraging in the farmland, have such delusions?
He still remembered that he had longed for it when he was a child, but later his hope was shattered. He only found out after listening to the old people around him.
Their world is divided into several dynasties, and their Peijia Village is in one of them, the Great Zhou Dynasty.
A dynasty has a population of billions at least. There are nearly 10 million newborns every year. Once every ten years, only those under the age of 16 can be tested, but each time there can only be a few hundred at most. One of them was found to be in the spiritual root.
What are you delusional about?
Life has long told him that he is just an ordinary person, and ordinary people have an ordinary way of living.
He glanced at the little girl next to him, and suddenly realized that his girl was really smart. She already knew how to hide the desire and yearning in her eyes at a young age, but how could she hide it when it was so bright?
He sneered in his heart, did this girl still want to be an immortal?
When did you have these unrealistic ideas?
Forget it, after today, after taking the twenty taels of silver, this girl will no longer be a member of their family.
He felt a bit of pity and reluctance in his heart. After all, he was his own flesh and blood, smart and capable, but it was a pity that he was just a girl.
If they were boys, with their intelligence and physical strength, they would be the backbone of their future.
The Immortal had already flown up. With a wave of his sleeve, the big ship instantly shrank countless times and flew into his sleeve.
Several of them arrived at the stone pillar in the center of the market, sitting upright with their own manners.
The test is also relatively simple. It seems that you only need to reach out and touch the pillar to detect the spiritual roots in its body.
Pei Xiaoya looked at the pillar with bright eyes and tugged at the corner of her father's clothes.
"father."
Pei Dacheng was a little impatient.
"Okay, do you know that there may not be one out of tens of thousands of people? Don't think about it. Dad will take you somewhere. It won't be good if you are late."
Master Li and his family are already waiting. What if it is really late and makes the master unhappy and loses a few taels of silver?
He was tall and strong, and he suddenly picked up Pei Xiaoya and walked away.
Pei Xiaoya was suddenly pressed into his chest and coughed.
Pei Dacheng frowned, and after thinking about it, he put her down. He also saved some energy, took her hand, and pulled her away forcefully.
Xiaoya was still coughing, but she turned around and glanced at the immortal masters and the children who were taking the test, feeling a little unwilling.
…………
Pei Xiaoya was led by her father, and she never expected to be brought to such a place.
This is a large house with spring water flowing in the high rockery. The tall trees have thick and dark green leaves because it is summer.
There were also a few girls and boys dressed in smooth silk and satin, and it was not difficult to see what kind of situation the owner's family must be living.
Pei Xiaoya suddenly had doubts in his heart, how could his father know such a family?
A trace of uneasiness spread in her heart.
She couldn't help but hold on to her father's hand.
Went to the hall.
Tables and chairs made of mahogany, with exquisite screens on both sides.
Xiaoya looked carefully. Sitting at the top was a man who looked to be in his forties or fifties. He was about the same age as her father. He was wearing Chinese clothes and had a beautifully carved jade hanging around his waist. She She didn't have any discernment, she just thought it should be very valuable, and her temperament was not on the same level as her father's. On the side was the fat woman she met yesterday. She didn't look at her mother with the condescension in her eyes that day, but looked at the other person. The lady was very humble.
She didn't understand what flattery was, but she just thought the fat woman was a bit funny.
The lady held a little fat man in her right hand and looked at her critically.
Here she was again, the shameful feeling of being stripped clean and looked at like cargo, she couldn't help but shrink back behind her father.
She hid behind Pei Dacheng and saw that the little fat man seemed to be drooling, his hands were stained with crumbs of pastries on the table, and the tip of his nose was still moving up and down with his breathing. She was extremely disgusted.
She couldn't help but feel a little disgusted in her heart.
At this time the man at the top spoke.
"This is your daughter?"
Pei Dacheng quickly nodded in agreement and pulled Xiaoya out from behind.
"This is my daughter, Pei Xiaoya."
Xiaoya was pulled by a strong force and staggered to stand firm.
The lady and the gentleman looked at each other, making eye contact that they didn't understand.
Mr. Li nodded.
"She looks good. Are you really willing to let her be my Mao'er's child bride?"
"Of course, of course, it is this girl's blessing to serve the young master."
There was a hint of smile in Madam's eyes.
She gave birth to three sons and two daughters, but the youngest son was born stupid, which made her worried all the time. She searched for medical advice for a long time, but finally gave up, thinking that when she grew up, how could a better girl like him? , can only find a child bride of low origin.
She has met countless people, and this girl seems to be a real beauty, but her background is indeed a bit lowly, but she is easy to handle. She can serve as a maid and take care of Mao'er's daily life. When she grows up, it would be good to be a housemaid.
Pei Xiaoya was stunned.
Child bride?
She has heard it, she is very smart and remembers it well.
At that time, the aunt next door said that one of her distant nieces was sold to someone else as a child bride, and she had been preparing someone else's daughter-in-law since she was a child.
She and the little fat guy laughing at the table?
When the little fat man heard the words "child bride", he suddenly saw Pei Xiaoya and clapped his hands suddenly.
"Hey, wife!"
The woman's eyes curled up, obviously in a good mood.
Pei Xiaoya trembled all over.
No, she didn't want to be a child bride.
She tugged on Pei Dacheng's clothes suddenly, and his whole body started to tremble.
"Dad, dad."
"I don't want it, I don't want it. I can do it. I can stay at home and work, and I can take care of my younger brother. When I grow up a little bit, I can work in the fields. Don't sell me, please dad."
Pei Dacheng also couldn't bear it. This was his own flesh and blood, well-behaved and smart, but it was twenty taels. As long as he had this money, Jinbao would not have to worry about marrying and having children in the future.
He sighed inwardly and felt cruel.
After giving her a hard slap, Pei Xiaoya's voice stopped abruptly. Her figure staggered and fell to the ground. Half of her face turned red and stinging.
"You're still making trouble!"
"Be obedient!"
Pei Xiaoya's mind suddenly shook, why? Is it because she is a girl? She is smart. Before her brother was born, her parents never had such thoughts.
Now she has to be sold as a child bride, only for her younger brother.
She couldn't control her tears all of a sudden. One drop after another, the tears left traces on her face. She stopped talking. The tears flowed down the red and swollen half of her face, and the stinging pain made her even more unbearable.
