fairy wife

After a long rainy season, the sky has cleared and summer is here at once.Many cicada sloughs can be picked up on trees and behind rocks. These little things have a very short life, so they have to take advantage of this limited good time to fulfill the meaning of their existence.

When Qiuqiu squatted there to take care of a hibiscus flower, she saw a complete cicada slough hanging under the branch of the hibiscus flower.

Qiuqiu squeezed it with her hands.

The translucent cicada slough is very complete, except for the seam on the back, there is no other damage.In the sun, the cicada slough is light brown sugar color, shiny and crystal clear.

It must be painful when moulting, right?

This preserved cicada slough is in a struggling and patient form.

Qiuqiu was a little dazed, lost in thought.

Ever since she came to the Purple Jade Pavilion, she felt in a trance from time to time.

Some people laugh at her for this.

The spiritual energy in the outside world is thin, but the Purple Jade Pavilion is a unique place with abundant spiritual energy.When others came here, no matter what, they would become more enlightened, but she was fine, but she became even more dumbfounded.

Qiuqiu couldn't tell what she was in a trance.

It's just that sometimes, I feel that some scenes seem to have been seen before.

Most people feel this way.

There is a feeling of deja vu when you go to a place you have never been to for the first time.Some of the things that are happening now seem to have happened a long time ago, and there is a trance of reliving old dreams for no reason.

It's just that Qiuqiu feels this way more frequently than others.

A person came by.I reached out and pinched a newly opened hibiscus flower.

She was wearing a cherry red shirt with a lotus leaf-like collar, and a large part was hollowed out on her back, exposing her snow-white skin.

It's pretty nice, but... Qiuqiu thinks the clothes are a little more revealing.

Qiuqiu stood up and called out, "Senior Sister Su Yun."

Although she has not formally apprenticed as a teacher, she is considered a member of the Purple Jade Pavilion. When seeing these formal disciples, she naturally has to address them.

"What are you doing here?"

Qiuqiu was still holding the flower scissors in one hand, and answered her: "Cut the flowers."

"What about in your hand?"

Qiuqiu was taken aback.He stretched out his hand.

"I picked up a cicada slough."

Su Yun showed a look of disgust on his face: "This thing is terribly dirty, throw it away soon."

Qiuqiu hesitated for a moment, but Su Yun had already reached out and knocked the cicada off, and then stepped on it.

Cicada slough was crushed by her foot.

After she left, Qiuqiu looked down at the cicada slough that was too broken to pick up.

Su Yun hit hard just now, and the back of her hand swelled up.Red and red.

This cultivation world is not a peaceful paradise.

The sun has risen, and sweat drips down from the forehead along the cheeks, and the collar and back are soaked with sweat in a short while.

Finally finished tidying up the flower branches, Qiuqiu put the flower clippers back into the basket.

too thirsty.

Qiuqiu thought about it, put the teapot in the basket tomorrow and carry it together.How much can drink a few sips.

From a distance, she saw the door open and someone was walking in.

She is a woman who looks graceful and moving from a distance.She walked in first, followed by several little girls, all of whom looked like they were only five or six, seven or eight years old.

Is this the disciple to be accepted this year?

The last one was even smaller, unsteady when walking, and had to be led by someone. It was about the same age as the little sister when she left home to go up the mountain to learn a teacher.

Qiuqiu felt a little embarrassed.

It's as if everyone signs up for primary school, but everyone is of a standard age.However, she is already at the age of middle school, but she is sitting in the same classroom with a group of children as classmates.Let's start from scratch together.

It doesn't have to be awkward for others to think she is awkward, she will feel awkward too.

She has passed the most suitable age, and her aptitude is not very good. Maybe she is not as good as other children who learn quickly and well. When the time comes for the exam, everyone will get full marks, and she will be a big duck in the exam.

If you really go to school, your parents will have to give you a reprimand, maybe even a beating.But if she doesn't study well here, can she go home?After returning home, Xiucai and Xiucai's wife must be worried about her.

Alas, why is it so difficult for people to live.

Qiuqiu guessed right, those little girls brought back were indeed preparatory disciples who had been recruited from various places this time.Qiuqiu quietly asked a doorman, who was called Su Xun, and he was more friendly.

Qiuqiu asked her quietly: "So many little girls who came here, can they all be accepted as disciples?"

"How can it be? Some of them have mediocre qualifications, while others have inappropriate temperaments. At least half of these people cannot be used."

"Then, where should those who cannot become apprentices go?"

Su Xun glanced at her, understood what was on her mind, and smiled.

"Are you worried that you won't be able to worship as a teacher?"

Qiuqiu nodded.

"Don't be afraid, you are sent by the seniors of Xuannvguan, and you will not be rejected. Every year, there are some disciples with poor qualifications, but they can't learn any advanced mental methods, only a few superficial introductory mental methods. and so on, and then do odd jobs, and also have a place in the door."

Qiuqiu thought, isn't that the same as she is now?It means doing chores during the day and falling asleep at night.

Such a life is not impossible.

"There are still some children who can't be accepted, and they will be sent home." Su Xun said: "But many people have no home... Either they are orphans whose parents have died, or they have been transferred from human traffickers several times. Those rescued by master and uncle have nowhere to go, so they will stay in the sect."

Since there are so many people as companions, Qiuqiu is not worried.

In the sect, there are people like Su Yun who have a bad temper and are difficult to get along with, and there are people like Su Xun who are more friendly. When you ask her about something when you are free, she will explain it in detail one by one.

Su Xun asked her, "Do you want to get started?"

"Of course I want to." Qiuqiu said, "I'm just afraid that I don't have the conditions. Even if some master takes me in, I will discredit him."

Su Xun laughed.

"Don't be afraid. Everything in the world depends on fate. If you have a relationship between a master and a student, you will definitely be able to learn from a teacher. I heard that you have a younger sister in Xuannv Temple?"

"Yes, my sister went up the mountain when she was three years old."

"Who is her respected teacher?"

"It seems to be Daoist Ying Tao?" Qiuqiu really didn't know much about this.

Su Xun nodded: "I've heard that Lingmei has a bright future."

Speaking of my younger sister, Qiuqiu is very proud: "No, I heard people praise my younger sister for her talent, saying that she will definitely become famous in the future."

Su Xun smiled again.

Qiuqiu is very winking and doesn't disturb others, they are no better than her.There is still a lot of business to do.

A day later, Qiuqiu went to the back courtyard with the other girls who had just arrived at Ziyu Pavilion.

She has never been to this heavy courtyard, and she has been staying on the periphery these days, with a limited range of activities.

Qiuqiu thought, probably from this courtyard, you will come into contact with the real Ziyu Pavilion, right?

It looks cooler here than outside.Even the flowers and trees planted are not as colorful and diverse as outside. There are many crape myrtles planted here, and the flowers are blooming so vigorously. The flowers of one tree after another can't even see the green leaves.The flower spikes look so beautiful, and clusters are crowded together.Looking from a distance, it really looks like jade and clouds.

For some reason, Qiuqiu was in a daze again.

She didn't know what she just thought of.I always feel as if something important has slipped past my heart.

But she didn't know what she thought of in that short moment just now.

It seems to be a person?Or, is it a sentence?

Her dazed look was particularly conspicuous—because she was the largest and tallest among the children brought in.If she was as tall as everyone else, it wouldn't be so obvious to be in a daze.

The person who led the way glanced at her and thought that no one would accept her as an apprentice.

It's too inappropriate.It's really not their kind.

Besides, it's too old.

No matter which sect, they are more willing to accept and train young disciples.In this way, their xinxing experience is like a blank sheet of paper.You can teach whatever you want.Like this, he is already in his teens, and I heard that he has already been engaged to get married before, which is really inappropriate.

Qiuqiu had already prepared herself psychologically in advance, anyway, the chance of being selected was not high, and even if she was not selected, she could continue to live in Ziyu Pavilion.

There is no need to worry about food and clothing here, there is not much pressure to survive, and there is no need to worry about monsters coming here to attack her.

But she still had a vague hope in her heart.

How wonderful is the world of self-cultivation——she was not without curiosity.

How can a person transcend all the constraints imposed on him by the mundane world to realize the Tao and become a fairy?

People are born with all kinds of rules, some are natural rules, and sometimes are man-made rules.This world has drawn a line and a frame for everyone, and everyone has to move forward according to this line.

Some people try to cross the line.

Some people may succeed, but many more people fail.

The process of being inspected and selected was very simple. Qiuqiu and the others were just led into a large courtyard and stood in a row. Those whose names were called stood one step forward, and waited until the next person was called. Back in the team, no one asked them questions, or even looked at them more.

Qiuqiu lost the election without any surprise.

She carefully buried that little disappointment in her heart.

She couldn't sleep at night though.

In the distant pond, the sound of frogs croaked loudly and loudly.

Qiuqiu thought, she probably really wasn't this material.

The hopes and dreams that were secretly embraced before have now proved to be nothing more than fantasy.

Is qualification really that important to go this way?

Qiuqiu looked at the window in some confusion.

The window is open a crack, and you can see a ray of sky even if you lie here, and the stars seem to be twinkling within your reach.

Her vague longing for the past few days is like this star, which looks very close, but in fact, it is out of reach when she stretches out her hand. (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendations and monthly tickets. Your support is my biggest motivation.)
