She is Jianxiu

Chapter 4
There was a moment of silence on the court, and Zhao Chun could almost hear the breathing of the people around him.

It was too far away from the high platform, and she couldn't see clearly who was speaking, but could only vaguely see a white figure standing in the middle of the high platform.

Suddenly, the figure became clear in front of her eyes.It was a slightly thin middle-aged man with slightly plump cheekbones and bright eyes.Wearing a pure white Taoist robe, holding a jade pendant and whisking the dust, it is clear that he is far away in the sky, but Zhao Chun can clearly see the fine golden thread embroidered crane pattern on his neckline.

Probably another special spell.

The Taoist robe held his lips, gave a smile like alms, and said: "Since everyone is seated, there is no need to delay, let's start now."

As the voice fell, attendants entered the arena with things in their hands.He didn't make a sound, his footsteps flew over the banquet, and every time he passed a place, he placed a small copper stove.

It's not made of copper either, Zhao Chun couldn't tell it clearly, he felt that the color was brighter than ordinary bronze wares, the furnace body was hollowed out, and the carvings were very mysterious.

"Close your eyes, sink your qi into your dantian, and let your hands hang naturally by your sides."

Zhao Chun did as he was told, not daring to make mistakes.

Gradually, a strange fragrance lingered at the tip of her nose, which was different from the usual incense. It was a smell that she had never had before in her memory. It was extremely quiet and enveloped her whole body.

The mind is clear, and the consciousness seems to pass through the dull black clouds and enter the vast sea.

It's the sea but it's not the sea, the golden-red waves are rushing towards her, with the pain and hatred almost condensed into substance.

It was very hot, Zhao Chun felt that he was burning, starting from the dantian, and slowly burning to the muscles, bones, skin and flesh.

"wake up!"

She opened her eyes, there was no fire, and there was no sea of ​​gold and red, she just sat quietly on the mat, a wisp of white smoke surrounded her body, like the long smoke rising vertically from the small stove.

Looking left and right, I didn't see anyone like her.

"Please follow me." The gray-clothed servant looked over in surprise, and quickly stepped forward, intending to lead her away.

Zhao Chun's heart moved, he stood up neatly, raised his eyes abruptly, and saw a boy surrounded by white smoke in other seats, his thoughts turned, and he knew that he had been selected.Then he followed the attendant with confidence.

There were still people at the table who were unknown, so he was keenly aware that none of the people present were selected, and he couldn't help showing a bit of disappointment.

Seeing that Zhao Chun was taken away, Pang Zhen also had a look of joy on his face.Zhao Mian and Zhao Yue still didn't understand at this time, their small faces were wrinkled into bun folds, and there were bursts of sourness in their hearts.

Zhao Chun couldn't care about this side, she was cursing in her heart with her eyes closed.

I don't know who came up with the bad idea, the children's feet are not fast, and the higher-ups were afraid of impatiently waiting for the immortal master, so they directly let the martial artist hold one in one hand, and rushed to the platform lightly.

How could this be comfortable, she only felt that the martial artist's hands were so strong that they almost cut off half of her body.

After closing his eyes, it seemed that the time was infinitely stretched, and Zhao Chun's head was shaken so dizzy and stuffy that he felt himself being put down.It felt good to be on the ground again, and she could finally breathe a sigh of relief.

At this moment, she was standing on a circular platform built of mahogany, and a white jade ladder in front of her connected the high platform to this place.

There are not many children around, about a hundred of them.

Only so few people were selected out of tens of thousands, Zhao Chun clicked his tongue slightly, glad that he just happened to be selected.He also heard the Taoist man on the high platform preach: "The primary election is over, the selected ones come forward, and the rest—" He waved his wide sleeves, "Let's start the banquet."

Then a group of beautiful maids in brocade clothes presented delicacies, filling up the empty banquet.There are many kinds of dishes, and the aroma is tangy, but the most eye-catching thing is the small glass of water in front of people.

Colorless and odorless, you can see the bottom of the cup at a glance, as if it is no different from ordinary white water.

"This is Luminous Heart Dew, which has the effect of clarifying the mind, stabilizing the soul and strengthening the heart. Everyone, please use it."

Everyone was suspicious and drank it down.

The entrance is sweet and cool, and a stream of fresh air rises from the abdomen, travels through the meridians, and converges at the Baihui point on the top of the head.Those who drink it only feel that their eyes are clear, and their body is exhausted. What's more, they feel that the bottleneck that has puzzled them for many years has loosened.

Pang Zhen is one of them. He has been trapped in the second level of martial arts for nearly 20 years.The older I get, the more I feel that the triple layer is like a moat, which is difficult to touch in this life.After drinking Mingxin Dew, years of miscellaneous thoughts were eliminated, and the breakthrough point of the third level of martial arts became more and more clearly visible in his heart.

He was overjoyed and hurriedly stood up and made a long bow to the high platform.

There are many people like Xiang Pang Zhen. Zhao Chun saw a hint of color on the face of the Taoist robe, and he felt funny in his heart. Do people who practice Taoism and detachment care about these foreign things?
The child standing on the wooden platform with Zhao Chun couldn't help showing envious eyes, the Taoist robed man saw him, raised his chin slightly, and said: "You don't have to be envious, you will go forward one by one later and let the poor Taoists do the screening again, and those who fail can get A pot of clear heart dew. As for the chosen one—"

He stroked his long beard vainly, and said: "I have given you some precious treasures."

Zhao Chun had seen everyone in the audience lose their composure early on, and she also understood how precious that open heart is. She thought to herself: "If she loses the election and returns to the Zhao family, according to Zhao Jian's personality, how can the treasure be used on her. Not to mention Zhao Jian Jane, I'm afraid she will be confiscated by Pang Zhen in the name of the family on the way. So, being elected is her only way out."

Someone came forward and organized the children into a one-man column. According to the order of the counties, Zhao Chun was almost at the end of the line.In front of her was Wang Chuyan, one of the sisters of the Wang family in Hedong County. Among the 12 recruits, she chose one to come up.Thinking of Wang Yijiao's bright and slightly sad little face, Zhao Chun sighed, but she didn't choose it.

It can be considered that Zhao Chun's thinking was too simple. More than [-] people from Pingyang County will produce one, and more than [-] people from Hedong County will still produce one.There were several who were not selected in the entire county, but she happened to know Wang Chuyan, so she couldn't help feeling sorry for the more familiar Wang Yijiao.

Sadly, the front has already started re-election.

Different from the primary election, the re-election is done by the priest himself.

A young man in a blue and white Taoist robe came forward holding a jade basin, and in the basin was a whitebait, whose belly turned white as if dying.

The Taoist robed man snorted coldly, swung the dust whisk with his right hand, put it on the crook of his left arm, and with his left hand and two fingers together, drew a few runes in front of him, and then pressed them into the basin.

The whitebait jumped up immediately and swam happily in the basin. The beard of the Taoist robe shook slightly, and he reprimanded in a low voice: "Greedy beast." Then he motioned to the leading child, "You, come forward."

The child was about eight or nine years old, and he was stupefied just now when he saw his immortal spells.Hearing the immortal master calling him, he was so frightened that he stood there, not daring to move, whether he wanted to cry or not.

Seeing the face of the Taoist robed man getting darker, the boy holding the jade basin stepped up to the child and said softly, "Just put your hands in the water."

The young man was fifteen or sixteen years old, with a handsome face, and his soft words inevitably made people feel close.The child recovered from the fright and raised his hand cautiously, only daring to put his index finger into the water.

The silver fish was alarmed by the fingers and swam away in an instant.The young man moved the jade basin away, returned to the Taoist man, and said, "Nothing happened."

"Hmm." The man in the Taoist robe was expressionless, and cast a look at the attendant, "There is no fairy fate, let's take it away."

"next."

The child with a dull expression was taken off the high platform by the attendants, and the second hurriedly stepped forward, for fear of being looked down upon.It's just that Xianyuan obviously doesn't judge whether it is human or not, and Yinyu has nothing to do except to avoid it. Following the Taoist man's order, the second one also left sadly.

More than ten people went back and forth like this, but all ended in failure.The Taoist man gradually lost his patience, his brows were tightly wrinkled, and his face sank like water.

After being taken away by the attendants, No.17 children had a vision.

This is a slightly older boy, probably 12 years old, almost beyond the age of conscription. As soon as he put his finger in, the whitebait jumped up to suck his finger as if being fed.The fish looked small, but it had a mouthful of fangs, it immediately bit the boy's fingertips, and swallowed a drop of blood.

The priest in Taoist robe put his hand on the basin, the fish was electrocuted and bounced away, the boy hurriedly took out his finger, and heard the boy say: "Congratulations."

Sure enough, the Taoist man nodded slightly and asked, "What's your name?"

"Craftsman Liu Ziyi." The boy was dressed in brown, he should be from Baiding, and he answered with a slight local accent.

"Immortal fate is here, go and wait aside." The Taoist robed man doesn't care what background the selected one is from, he cultivates the Tao all by himself. He also heard that a certain senior was just a beggar on the side of the road before entering the Tao. Opportunity, all the way to the elders.It can be seen that earthly origin is the least important thing.

Liu Ziyi couldn't hold back his joy for a long time, he stepped forward to pay respects, and was led by his attendants to take a seat beside the high platform, beside him were all powerful dignitaries from the state of Chu, which made him feel proud.

After him, as if throwing bricks to attract jade, several visions appeared one after another. The Taoist robe showed a bit of satisfaction, his expression relaxed, and he waved his hand to let the three men and one woman who were selected also take their seats.

Seeing that he was not the only one selected, Liu Ziyi put away his complacency, lowered his gaze from the seat, and quietly observed other people around him.

However, Xianyuan is rare after all, and when they went all the way to the front of Zhao Chun, there was no one left.When it came to Wang Chuyan, something changed.

The young man showed her a slightly friendly smile, and the Taoist robed man understood in his heart, and asked, "Is this your relative?"

"It's my sister."

Wang Chuyan did not have a vision, but the Taoist robed man seemed to value the young man quite a lot, and said: "Junior Brother Wang will go to the gate in the future, and I was going to choose another servant for you. Since she is your relative, I would rather Others are suitable. If so, leave the errand."

This is the one from the Wang family who was chosen in advance, Zhao Chun was surprised that he and the Daoist were of the same generation.However, thinking of Wang Yijiao's gloomy expression, and seeing the indifference and indifference in the young man's eyes, and the words "ordinary servant" and "errand" in the mouth of the Taoist robe, Zhao Chun felt a little cold.

Wang Chuyan didn't have a fairy fate but was left behind, she was overjoyed immediately, even though the others were not fair, because of her youth status, she didn't dare to speak out.

After the one in front left, it was Zhao Chun's turn.

She took a deep breath and gradually sank her index finger into the water.
