In late spring, the warm Lake wind blew from the Zhenze lake, bringing the moist breath to Yangshan.
At this time, in a courtyard on Yangshan, a group of childish children are gathering here. The youngest of them is just six years old, and the oldest is already eight years old.
At the same time, outside the gate of the courtyard, the parents of these children are waiting one by one.
After half a column of incense, the door of the house in the courtyard was slowly opened, and an old man in gray came out.
"You''ll come in one by one later. Remember not to make a noise!"
The old man looked at them and said in a very serious tone.
The children in the courtyard stopped talking quietly immediately. Everyone looked at the old man in gray with some fear.
However, in the humble corner of this group of children, a boy''s eyes flashed a rare color of determination.
Before long, the old man began to read it in the order on the list.
"Shen Huan!"
When the old man''s old voice penetrated into the boy''s ear, he immediately reacted and walked out of the crowd.
The old man in grey looked at him and said faintly:
"Go in!"
Hearing the speech, the boy walked into the room behind the old man with excitement.
The room was dark and empty.
When the boy walked slowly inside for a few steps, he found a white haired old woman sitting quietly on the chair in the deepest part of the room.
"Come here and put your hands on it!"
After noticing someone coming, the white haired old woman slowly opened her eyes and said to the boy.
Different from the serious old man in gray outside, the old woman''s voice was very gentle and kind, which made the little boy feel very comfortable after listening to it.
After a while, he looked in the direction pointed by the white haired old woman.
I saw that there was an ordinary low table, and there was a crystal clear jade plate on the table.
After seeing the shining jade plate, a trace of curiosity flashed in the boy''s eyes.
He walked forward slowly and put his hand on the jade plate.
When his hand touched the jade plate, a cold feeling hit his heart, and then a suction seemed to firmly adsorb his hand on the jade plate.
Aware of this change, the boy immediately became nervous and hurriedly wanted to retract his hand.
"Don''t be nervous. It''ll be fine in a minute!"
The white haired old woman smiled and then injected a spiritual force into the jade plate.
With the infusion of this spiritual power, the boy felt a warmth slowly coming to him from the palm of his hand.
When he was intoxicated, the jade plate suddenly emitted a bright light!
Then, the white haired old woman''s face immediately showed a happy color, and even her eyes looking at the boy took a trace of comfort.
"Yes, yes, I didn''t expect that the first child this year is the child with Linggen!"
Hearing this, the boy''s eyes flashed a look of joy. Then he looked up at the white haired old woman and asked timidly.
"Then I am... Can I fix immortals?"
"That''s natural, but what exactly is your Linggen support? You have to ask the foundation building friar on the mountain to check it carefully for you!"
The white haired old woman smiled kindly and answered him with great pleasure.
"Well, you go to the inner room first!"
Hearing the speech, the boy restrained his inner joy and walked towards the room pointed by the old woman.
After the boy left, the children outside the door came in one by one and put their hands on the jade plate. Unfortunately, more than 90% of them could not make the jade plate shine again.
Those who did not light up the jade plate showed disappointment after being told that they had no spiritual root and could only be ordinary mortals in the future.
Soon, more than 20 children gathered in the courtyard had left, leaving only the little boy and another girl.
I saw that the white haired old woman took out two yellow runes from her arms, handed them to them, and slowly said:
"You two live here first. At the same time, you can try to cultivate the mental skills on this paper first. I''ll take you to a place in a few days!"
After the boy took the "heavy" Rune paper from the old woman''s hand, his breathing quickened.
He knew that this should be what could set him on a fairyland!
……
Three days passed, and a bull cart drove slowly down the Yangshan mountain towards the Yunbi peak in the north.
At the same time, in these days, a carriage drove out of the three villages and towns of Chang''an, Yongning and Chengtang towards the towering and sacred mountain.
……
When the rising sun slowly rose from the East, Shen Ruiling in the cave at the back of Yunbi peak also ended his one night meditation practice.
After slowly spitting out a mouthful of turbid air, he stood up from the Pu mat, opened the cave door and walked to the ancestral hall on the top of Yunbi peak.
Today is the day for the family to survey the spiritual roots of young people. As the acting patriarch, he naturally wants to help them explore the spiritual roots.
The spiritual roots of the Shen family are generally surveyed once every three to four years. At that time, the spiritual roots of all children of the Shen family aged six to ten will be carefully surveyed.
The first is to let the guard friars in various mortal villages and towns gather the children in the camp together.
Then use simple magic tools to select those people with Linggen from them, and then send them to Yunbi peak together.
When all the children with spiritual roots in the family gather on Yunbi peak, the foundation building friars of the family will check their spiritual roots one by one to determine their spiritual root qualifications and skills.
At the same time, we will rename these children and record their names in the family tree of the Shen family!
……
Shen Ruiling soon appeared in the ancestral hall of the family. He first saluted the portrait of Yucang ancestor hanging there, and then bowed to the memorial tablets of the ancestors of the Shen family.
"Blessed by the ancestors of the Shen family, may there be more true spirit root friars in the family this time!"
Shen Ruiling prayed silently in her heart.
After all this, he slowly sat down in front of the ancestral tablet, opened the genealogy page by page, and quietly waited for the arrival of those people.
Soon, a little boy came in from the door and looked at Shen Ruiling sitting there in awe.
Although Shen Ruiling did not release any breath, the aura of friar Zhuji had frightened the boy.
"What''s your name, little fellow?"
Looking at the boy who came in, Shen Ruiling asked with a smile.
"My name is Shen Huan!"
Although the boy was a little timid, he still said loudly.
Hearing the speech, Shen Ruiling couldn''t help nodding slightly, and then began to read the information about the boy.
After a few breaths, Shen Ruiling''s face showed a touch of excitement and quickly looked up at the little boy.
From this information, the boy is actually the offspring of Shen Huanming''s old husband and wife who have been seated!
In that flood, Shen Huanming was hit hard by the third-order demon crab, so that Dantian was destroyed. He sat down and went away a few years after returning to his family.
And his wife also sat down in the following years.
Although the couple had several children in their early years, it is a pity that none of their offspring had spiritual roots before they sat down.
When Shen Ruiling visited their old couple, Shen Huanming begged him to help take care of their younger generation.
Shen Ruiling did agree, so after their husband and wife sat down, they also quietly visited their descendants in mortal villages and towns.
Moreover, he specially asked the local guard to take care of the descendants of Shen Huanming and his wife.
Unexpectedly, today, a descendant with spiritual roots finally appeared in the descendants of Shen Huanming''s old husband and wife!
