Sect Leader Is Under Great Pressure

Jiuxi City is the closest city to the Great Xiao Kingdom, and it has been extremely lively recently.

Although it is night now, there are still lanterns hanging high on the roadside, and there are still countless children in the city huddled in the corners, huddling together to keep warm. Fortunately, although the autumn is deep, it is not too cold, and a blanket can barely keep out the cold.

Officers and soldiers patrolled the street back and forth, and when they saw a suspicious and wretched one, they went up and took it down.

Vendors hawk groceries along the street, gathering the longing eyes of the poor in the corner.

Every time they choose the dragon and the phoenix, it is a day for them to make a lot of money, and no one is willing to close the stall because of the darkness.Even the Lantern Festival, Mid-Autumn Festival, and Dragon Boat Festival, which are not usually at this time, will be put on display—those from the countryside who have never seen the world will always buy some back.

A white-haired, withered old man walked up to a noodle vendor with a big gourd, exchanged a copper coin for a gourd full of hot soup and a steamed bun, then went back to the corner and put the hot soup One by one was given to more than a dozen children. They all had maple leaves on their heads, but they all came to participate in the general election.

The hot soup was shared, and each child only took a few mouthfuls, but they were not picky. After thanking them, they took out the prepared steamed buns and ate them with hot soup.

The old man sighed, stretched out his hand to touch the forehead of a boy with a fever next to him, and wrapped his blanket around him.

"Thank you," said the young man, although he had a fever, but his mind was still clear, "Let's wrap it up together."

"I'm old too, so I can stand it." The old man frowned, "It's not that I don't want you to come, it's just that you are so weak, how can you catch a cold."

Along the way, the young man didn't complain of suffering or tiredness, he gritted his teeth and kept up, but just after entering the city, he started to have a fever, and the old village chief couldn't help but worry about it.

"You are also a clever child. I heard that the clever child is the most selected," the village head said naggingly, "I also want someone in the village to be selected. Not a small official, but also exempted the village from taxes for three years. Look at Zhang Village downstream of us, only one was elected. Although he came back in the second year, he can catch fierce beasts! Those in other villages The life of the year is much better, if a god can be born, it will be even more terrible, everyone can live in a big tiled house with green bricks, and have a teacher to teach..."

The village chief was nagging, his old eyes were full of anticipation, and the teenagers who were listening beside him were all twitching in their hearts, as if seeing that he had been chosen.

A gust of autumn wind blew, the children shrunk even tighter, and the old man also tightened his clothes, but he was still talking about how good the choice was.

At this time, several tall figures walked towards them.

"This is a blessing from hundreds of families for my young master. Come, each of you touch it, and if you say a word of blessing, you will be given a lot of money. Hurry up!"

The leading black-faced man took out a jade ball the size of a walnut, and arrogantly said to these poor people in the corner.

A lot of money is enough to buy a big steamed bun, and many teenagers automatically leaned forward and surrounded the group of people tightly.

There was a child who got the money and then sneaked in, trying to get another coin, but was discovered by the black-faced man, dragged out and beat him severely, screaming continuously.

Many thoughtful children and teenagers withdrew their thoughts, obediently blessed and retired.

This scene fell into the eyes of passers-by, and they all ignored it.

A passing youth in Tsing Yi looked at it and sighed.

"Why, don't you go up to help?" The paper figurine master lay on his shoulders, raised his head, and asked curiously.

"If I can't take them away, then it's better not to help." Feng Qingxiu shook his head, he also came here like this, knowing the way inside, "Otherwise you won't be able to form a friendship, but you will form a hatred instead."

"Why is that?" The paper figurine master sat up, avoiding being too conspicuous, and leaned against the apprentice's neck.

"Every family and big family in every place are connected with each other. There are too many ways to bully ordinary people. We can't stay here forever," Feng Qingxiu understood very well, "They won't go too far, they will only give lesson."

"This kind of metaphysical method is very popular." The paper figurine saw that the child was only bruised and swollen and had no internal injuries, so he turned his gaze to other places, but saw several people coming to ask for a piece of cloth one by one, and each of them was a big money.

"That's Baina clothes. It is said that hundreds of children's clothes are used to make underwear. Wearing it can improve my chances." Feng Qingxiu smiled, "When I was picking dragons and phoenixes, my mother sewed them for me. She cut a piece of clothing for every eligible child in the town."

Ji Yunlai thought about Xiaoqing wearing a colorful plaid, and couldn't help laughing.

"However, this is also one of their incomes." Feng Qingxiu said seriously, "At this time, the aristocratic families will spend a lot of money to pray for a good omen, and these young people will also get this small money to support him in queuing up to his turn. It's their time. Otherwise, it will be difficult for the poor children to persist until the end."

"That's a good thing. Although Xuan doesn't save Fei Krypton and doesn't change his life, this kind of Golden Week is pretty good." Ji Yunlai nodded, "I really want to see Xiaoqing wearing a patch."

"Let's see in the next life." Feng Qingxiu coldly rejected Master's unreasonable request.

The paper figurine master smiled, and continued to stick it on the apprentice's neck, waiting for the apprentice to go to the questioning heart stone here.

There was a lot of traffic, hawkers on the side of the road, and poor people in the corner occupied most of the road. The crowd was crowded, and there were noisy quarrels from time to time, but they didn't see a piece of the boy's clothes.

Soon we arrived at the fairy temple in the city, which was also surrounded by water.

Feng Qingxiu was about to go in, but suddenly heard "It's on fire!"

I saw thick smoke rising from the backyard, followed by a burst of crackling, and a group of fully armored soldiers quickly dragged an eighteen or nine-year-old boy out like a dead dog.

"How dare you make trouble in the fairy temple, kill him!" Many people rushed up angrily.

Feng Qingxiu was silent for a moment, sympathy flashed in her eyes.

"What is that?" Ji Yunlai asked curiously.

"That's the 'legacy bead'." He explained with a little loss, "Back then you set up the questioning heart stone and said that anyone under the age of fifteen would have a chance, but over the years, everyone has done countless tests on the questioning heart stone. A child's mind is limited, and he can see that he can't draw a rune, and there is a chance around fifteen, so we changed the age limit to seven to seventeen."

Ji Yun came to listen to the story and waited for him to continue.

"Kunlai's resources are limited, and the Shida family has strictly limited the time to seventeen. Every time Kunlai goes up the mountain, it takes time for Kunlai to choose again. Therefore, the seven-year-old child who was last time will have no Opportunity." Feng Qingxiu smiled wryly, "These children are 'relict pearls'. I have a cousin who is just on the age card and cannot be selected."

Back then that cousin always looked at him with jealousy and hatred.

"Then why not just avoid having children in those two years?" Ji Yunlai asked casually.

"After all, there are only a small number of people who can be selected. If you are pregnant, you can't win." Feng Qingxiu shook her head, "Parents didn't fulfill their expectations, but there are always some people who are hard to accept."

Kunlai had no objection to this, it would be better if there were fewer people, and they would occasionally procrastinate for a while, after all, the population of Xizhou was increasing year by year, and they couldn't take it anymore.

Twelve years is the time to choose dragons and phoenixes. It takes almost ten years to formally study and receive education. In the first two years, what you eat is definitely not Lingmi but Fanmi. Enjoy your hellish exam days.

While speaking, Feng Qingxiu had already squeezed into the temple, and saw that huge black stone that looked exactly like Xiao Du.

And the Master has been pasted on the neck.

"Master, can't you scan with your divine sense?" Feng Qingxiu looked at the paper figurine stuck to the stone, and suddenly felt a little itchy.

I really want to touch it——no, as Master's apprentice, I can't be so disrespectful.

Feng Qingxiu vigorously shook her disrespectful thoughts out of her mind.

"Now I just attach a little bit of spirituality to the paper, only spirituality but no power. An ordinary radar is definitely not as good as before. This stone is the work of my heyday." The paper figurine said slowly, sticking hard to the stone, looking He was so fascinated that he seemed to want to get his paper head into it.

Feng Qingxiu wanted to touch it even more, so he squeezed his hand hard.

After a while, when the moon was in the middle of the sky, Ji Zhi raised her head and said proudly, "I am indeed a genius!"

Feng Qingxiu looked at him suspiciously.

"In the past, the spirit stone test was very inflexible and only measured the spiritual root but not the perception. I will tell you about this thing..." Ji Yunlai's words suddenly stopped, and the paper figurine raised its head and looked into the sky.

A yellow leaf fell down, and a fat caterpillar that was about to form a cocoon also fell with it.

The paper figurine silently raised its hand, and forcefully sent out an insignificant sword energy, which chopped off the caterpillar.

Apparently, this was a waste of money for a piece of paper, so he slammed it into his apprentice's arms: "Master is tired, take a rest, this stone is fine, go to the next one!"

"Okay..." The paper figurine stuck to his chest seemed a little warm, so Feng Qingxiu of course left obediently.

Thinking of the pine forest on Zhaoyue Peak where demon cultivators are used to eliminate insects and do not give ordinary birds a chance to survive.

Feng Qingxiu realized that she seemed to have discovered something extraordinary...

You can't think Master is cute, Master is superior!Out of reach!

Recently, it is only the period of master's demons! ! !

Feng Qingxiu tried hard to convince herself.

Leaving the fairy temple, Feng Qingxiu turned into a remote alley and was about to fly away.

"Help! Help!" The sudden voice made him stop pinching his fingers, and there was a girl on the right, pulling a sick and weak boy who was out of breath, and followed by three A big man in black, holding a nailed wooden stick, rushed towards the two fiercely.

That young man was the sick and weak young man who had met once before at the city gate, and at this moment, a wound on his back was overflowing with blood.

Seeing Feng Qingxiu with sharp eyes, the girl suddenly gained strength and pushed the boy into Feng Qingxiu's arms, screaming to herself: "A group of demons who hide their spiritual roots, have the guts to come after me!" , you will die sooner or later!"

Then rush to the other side.

Feng Qingxiu followed the nearly comatose young man, casually tapped his blood, with a cold face, raised her hand to grab and pull in the void!

The big man and the girl seemed to be grabbed by invisible hands, they were pulled in front of him one after another, and fell into gourds.

The paper figurine master excitedly crawled out from his collar to join in the fun: "Is this a hero saving the beauty?"

Feng Qingxiu thought for a while, before committing the next offense, she stretched out her hand to push Master back.
