As a father, I just want to watch you live forever.

February 21.

Spring equinox, drizzle.

The road from Jinguang Mansion to the mountain gate of Qianyuan Shenzong was completely congested, and carriages on the narrow road were overtaking each other, and no one would give way to anyone else.

Inside the carriage.

Li Che, Zhang Ya, Granny Mu and Xixi were sitting in a carriage. Xixi was lively and excited.

She didn't feel that participating in the Shenzong assessment was a stressful thing at all. It was like going out for an outing, full of exploration and curiosity about new things.

She looked through the carriage window at the dense convoy outside, and many figures holding children and walking to the scene, and kept exclaiming.

"Daddy, there are so many people!"

It was the first time that Xixi saw so many people. She felt surprised that there were so many people in the world!

"This year, there are indeed many more people taking the assessment than in previous years." Granny Mu looked at Xixi lovingly, and there was actually some reluctance in her eyes.

After today, Xixi will definitely join the Divine Sect, and she will have to go to the towering Qingfeng of the Divine Sect, and she will have fewer days to go home.

However, Granny Mu was able to let Li Qingshan take her to visit Xixi, which relieved a lot of her worries.

"Li Qingshan said that this year's assessment seems to be related to the Four Imperial Strange Temple in the middle of the Jiulong River outside the mansion. Things related to the strange temple are risky, but also have great opportunities."

Granny Mu said.

Zhang Ya's eyes showed worry: "Is it related to the Four Imperial Strange Temple? Too dangerous, right?"

"But Xixi can't not go to the Divine Sect..."

Zhang Ya's eyes were full of entanglement, and she turned her head to look at Li Che, asking for help.

"Don't worry, since the Divine Sect dared to open the Four Imperial Strange Temple to test these children, they naturally have some means."

Li Che smiled and comforted.

Li Qingshan said that the Divine Sect branch used the [Prison Lotus Wind and Fire Golden Light Wheel], which is the Four Imperial Divine Weapon!

Obviously, he took it very seriously. Since he dared to open it, he was sure of it. It was not the first time he did such a thing.

Since Li Che said it was okay, Zhang Ya believed it.

She just believed Li Che without thinking.

"This carriage is completely blocked. It can't move forward for a long time... Why don't we walk?"

Li Che looked at the sky and said.

If we are stuck on the road and miss the time, it will be a bad thing.

Not only Li Che has this plan, but the people in other carriages also got off the carriage, either holding or hugging, and headed towards the gate of Shenzong.

Zhang Ya and Granny Mu had no objection. They were all people who practiced cultivation. It was just a little bit of walking, which was nothing at all.

Li Che carried Xixi on his back, asked her to open the small oil-paper umbrella, got off the carriage directly, took a step, bathed in the spring breeze and rain, as if he was going for an outing.

After getting off the carriage and walking, the speed was faster.

After a while, they passed the downtown area of ​​Jinguangfu City and arrived in front of Shenzong's gate.

On both sides, the lawns are long and green, swaying with the spring breeze, stained with crystal clear raindrops.

A conspicuous green peak rises from the ground and goes straight into the sky. Previously, this peak was seen through the majestic city gate. The entire Jinguangfu City seemed to be built around this peak.

But when it actually got closer, it was discovered that there was an extremely vast area around the peak.

Looking up at the green peak, it was towering and majestic, with lush green grass and trees. In the mist and rain, you can see that there is green smoke lingering from the middle of the mountain.

…

Beside the Jiulong River, there is a peak that rises abruptly from the ground. It is the main peak of the branch of Lingnan Dao Qianyuan Shenzong in Yunzhou, Jinguang Peak.

There are many small peaks around Jinguang Peak, but they are not very conspicuous and are completely overshadowed by Jinguang Peak.

Those peaks are the peaks of the caves in the branch of Shenzong, where only the virtual phase cultivators can open.

For example, Li Qingshan, because of his virtual combat power, was qualified to open a cave, and his cave mountain was named "Zhenglei Peak".

After walking through a green grassland, you can see a huge white jade archway at the foot of Jinguang Peak.

In front of the archway, there is a huge and exquisite wooden platform built with wood on the huge green grass open space.

Around the wooden platform, it is occupied by forces from one side after another, all of which are top forces from Jinguang City.

The five major families, Qin, Gong, Hai, Shangguan and Gongyang families, all attach great importance to it. Not only did the clan leaders come, but even the ancestors of the gods in the clan appeared in person.

For example, Qin Dikun, the ancestors of the gods of the Qin family, appeared on the platform built by the Qin family forces, with his eyes lowered and sitting on a high position.

On the side, there are Qin Cang, the head of the Qin family, and Qin Haonan, Qin Leixiao and other second-generation figures of the same generation as the deceased Qin Yuqing.

The five major sects also sent people to come.

The masters from the Jinli Gate, Zhulin Academy, Guanchao Pavilion, and Shaxie Forest all came. Although they did not send their ancestors of the Divine Appearance like the five great families, they all had masters of the Virtual Appearance sitting in charge.

The Black Dragon Gang, Beggar Gang, and other gang forces that were originally three gangs and became two gangs also sent masters, and the leaders of the Black Dragon Gang and Beggar Gang also appeared.

Although the pressure of the Divine Appearance has been restrained, the dispersion and collision between each other also formed a terrifying aura that was suffocating.

Li Che arrived at the venue holding Xixi. The open space under the wooden platform was already densely packed with people.

Suddenly, Lu Chi's big head emerged from the crowd. He was wearing the clothes of the inner disciples of the Divine Sect today. The green clothes were quite conspicuous, which made many people subconsciously make way.

"Uncle Li, Aunt Zhang, and Xixi, come this way, follow me."

Lu Chi waved excitedly.

Li Che knew that there was special treatment, but he didn't care about the eyes of the people around him. He put on a gentle smile and used his hidden energy to sway away from the crowd, taking his wife, daughter, Granny Mu, uncle's family and Lao Chen. Followed Lu Chi.

As soon as he left with Lu Chi, Shangguan Qinghong jumped up and down in the distance, angrily: "Brother Li, I am here, and there is a good place here!"

Liu He and Hai Chuanying on the side couldn't help laughing: "I didn't expect Brother Li to have someone in Shenzong."

"That is Lu Chi, Li Qingshan's disciple. He was one of the three people who resonated with the temple gods last time. The resonance level was as high as 65%. He is the one among the three who still insists on practicing the [Wrathful Third Prince] divine law. Yang San The prince’s divine nature wants to create the divine base of the Sixth Prince [The Angry Third Prince] and learn from his teacher.”

Hai Chuanying came from the Hai family, one of the five great aristocratic families, and was very knowledgeable, so he introduced.

"Brother Li's daughter seems to be one of the three top soul boys in the thirteen cities under Fucheng, right?" Liu He thought of something and couldn't help but say.

"Yes, Li Nuanxi, the best spiritual child...but there is not much hope for the true inheritance. It is probably necessary to enter the inner gate first, and then slowly attack the true inheritance. She is really too young."

"The five major aristocratic families, as well as many small and medium-sized families in the city, have all brought out their hidden soul boys. I heard that there are more than fifteen top-quality soul boys this year, but the Shenzong True Tradition only accepts five."

Hai Chuanying said calmly.

Liu He sighed and shook his head: "It's not easy. After what happened to Feilei City, Brother Li can still bring the daughter of a top-notch soul boy to Fucheng. He has suffered too much..."

"It's not bad to be able to enter the inner sect of the Shen Sect."

Shangguan Qinghong suddenly became unhappy when he heard this, and clenched his fists: "My sister Xixi will definitely become a true successor. You have no idea how powerful Xixi is!"

Hai Chuanying sneered: "How powerful can a three-year-old kid be when he can't even pee?"

"The top soul boy of my Hai family, Hai Chaosheng, has a divine appearance, and the ancestor took it out as if it were a piece of flesh. If it weren't for the resonance of the temple god of the third prince's weird temple, the ancestor would really have to continue to hide it and teach him personally."

Shangguan Qinghong glanced at Hai Chuanying, you have no idea how valuable a three-year-old bone-tempering achievement is.

She didn't yell in advance, she'll wait for Xiaoxiao...

Wait to be shocked by Emperor Xixi!

…

…

On the bluestone steps under the stone archway of Shenzong Mountain Gate.

There are chairs arranged one after another, and figures with fluttering clothes are sitting there. The immortal wind and bones seem to blend into the spring breeze. The drizzle pours, and before it falls on their bodies, they are distorted by the invisible energy.

"This session is really lively...there are so many people coming. I'm afraid all the talented soul boys in Jinguang Mansion have been brought here, right?"

The old man sitting at the main seat, with white hair and beard, gently stroking his hand, looked gently at the dense crowd.

This person is the sect leader of the Yunzhou branch of the Qianyuan Shen Sect. He is Nan Lihuo and his cultivation is unfathomable.

"It will naturally be lively. After all... the Temple of the Third Prince has opened the Temple God Resonance this time. I am afraid that it will not be opened again for another twenty years. If you miss this opportunity, it will be difficult to get the opportunity in the next twenty years." The inheritance of the Three Princes Temple."

Li Qingshan sat lazily on the chair and said.

"Li Qingshan, you are very ruthless. Just after you returned to the capital, you used a hammer to force out an Eight-ji Corpse God Envoy from the Corpse God Cult, which almost caused a catastrophe!"

As soon as Li Qingshan finished speaking, a frail old man dressed as a Confucian scholar not far away suddenly started shouting.

Li Qingshan was immediately dissatisfied: "What does it mean to cause a catastrophe? Don't you know who the Corpse God Envoys of the Corpse God Religion are? You allow them to lobby and corrupt all forces in the city..."

"This is a big disaster!"

"Don't you know what's going on in Jeju? They've all become ghosts of the Corpse God Cult! The people have become tools for the Corpse God Cult to refine their dead energy, and they are dying in droves... Do you think Jinguang Mansion has also fallen into this state? ”

The face of the old Confucian scholar turned red: "Of course we have to stop the Corpse God Sect, but we need to pay attention to strategy. You are so upright in hunting down the Corpse God envoys in the city. The Chief, the Supervisor, the Sect Leader, and I are all helpless in the treacherous barrier. Return..."

"If the other party breaks the pot and doesn't choose to escape, but directly massacres the people on a large scale...how many people will die?"

Li Qingshan raised his eyelids slightly: "That's the incompetence of the people left behind in the city."

A woman in red robe opened her eyes in the distance, with flames dancing in her eyes and a faint tone.

"Li Qingshan, are you saying that I Zhu Hongdou is incompetent?"

Li Qingshan immediately shut his mouth.

This woman has been watching [The Wrathful Third Prince of the Eight-Armed Hell Lotus] all his life. She is a ruthless woman. It can be seen that she is very persistent and holds grudges. It would be better for him to say less.

The leader of the sect, Nan Lihuo, raised his hand gently and pressed it: "Okay, the Corpse God Cult and other villains must be eliminated as soon as they are found. What Qingshan did was the right thing to do."

"It's just that the method is quite drastic. I'll just be more steady in the future."

"Elder Zhang, you are a Jinshi of the current dynasty, so you are suitable to be the supervisor of this sect's examination. You should be steady and set an example for the younger students, and don't frighten the children with your bad face all the time."

The old man who looked like a Confucian scholar was Zhang Qingzheng, one of the four divine elders of the Shen Sect. He clasped his fists and said yes. After sitting on the chair, he rubbed his lotus-like face and tried to smile.

Unfortunately, it’s getting scarier.

Li Qingshan caught a glimpse and almost laughed out loud.

"The time has come. We are ready to open the mountain gate and conduct the exams for entering the sect."

Sect leader Nan Lihuo glanced at Li Qingshan solemnly, causing Li Qingshan to suppress a smile.

"when--!"

Zhu Hongdou, the elder in red, stood up and walked to the huge black gong standing on the archway behind him. He grasped the drumstick and knocked it down gently.

In an instant, the bullet vibrated with force, vibrating the black gong and making a thunderous sound!

The sound was like ripples, setting off a strong wind, spreading across the entire place in an instant, causing the entire place to become silent for an instant.

"The Yunzhou branch of the Qianyuan Divine Sect of Lingnan Dao, the disciples of the sect are assessed and selected."

"start!"

…

…

It is drizzling and the spring breeze is blowing.

In front of the Shenzong Mountain Gate, a huge black gong was sounded, and the sound was like the rushing water of the Jiulong River, rolling in all directions, causing the parents and children surrounding the circle to fall silent.

The black gong rang three times, and the voice of the stunningly beautiful woman in red rang out to every corner. The voice could be heard clearly even though it was hundreds of feet away.

Li Che held Xixi in his arms and sat on the prepared position on the lower left side of the wooden platform built in front of the Shenzong Mountain Gate.

There were several wooden chairs placed here, and Li Che and his party, led by Lu Chi, happened to occupy the seats.

In addition to Li Che's family, there were several figures dressed in Chinese clothes, holding children in their arms, and sitting quietly on chairs.

When Li Che's family appeared, those people's eyes swept over one after another. Several women in gorgeous and luxurious clothes couldn't help frowning when they saw the plainly dressed Zhang Ya.

Judging from their clothes, Li Che's family is obviously not of high status.

What level is it to sit with them?

Li Che was very low-key, and few people in the city knew about him. Most of them knew that this person was a wood carver who came back to life from Feilei City who was sacrificed.

Even the fact that Li Che joined Qintian Prison as a third-class guest minister, very few people knew about it.

However, Li Che and his party were brought by Lu Chi. Although these people in fine clothes were dissatisfied, they still endured it and did not make any provocation.

Li Che was aware of the gazes around him, but he didn't care.

"Uncle Li, this position was specially reserved for you by the teacher. These people dressed in gorgeous clothes are from the aristocratic families of the Thirteen Houses under Fucheng. The two top soul boys are also among them."

Lu Chi came close to Li Che and whispered.

Li Che hugged Xixi and found a seat to sit down, his eyebrows couldn't help but he was that... the top soul boy who was rated higher than Xixi in Li Qingshan's mouth?

"Huang Sixiang?"

Li Che spoke softly.

Lu Chi immediately pointed at the little boy who was about three or four positions away.

The little boy followed a beautiful woman with an excellent figure. He was very well-behaved. He had a rare short haircut and bronzed skin. Although he was only five or six years old, he exuded a restrained and fierce temper.

As if aware of Li Che's gaze, Huang Sixiang turned around and his eyes instantly fell on Xixi. When he saw Xixi's pink three-year-old appearance, he immediately raised his chin in disdain and broke his voice. Open your eyes.

"A little three-year-old is nothing to worry about."

Huang Sixiang immediately made a judgment in his mind.

Xixi felt that she was being despised and was immediately annoyed: "Dad, he is looking at me!"

Li Che rubbed the little girl's head: "I'll beat you back later. Have you learned everything daddy taught you?"

"I've learned it! I can throw the kitten away now." Xixi said proudly, clenching her fists and blinking her big watery eyes.

Lu Chi on the side was confused, what kind of kitten?

During this period, what did Xixi learn behind his back?

"That one is from Thirteen Cities. Apart from Xixi and Huang Sixiang, there is another top-notch soul boy, Liu Changqing, a genius from the Liu family in East Ring City. The teacher's evaluation is that he is not as good as Xixi."

Li Che nodded after hearing this.

"How old are they?"

"Huang Sixiang is six years old and Liu Changqing is seven years old."

Lü Chi revealed everything from his family's treasures.

The two of them talked for a while and then became quiet, because on the high platform, a woman in a fiery red dress slowly walked to the edge of the wooden platform, holding a list in her hand. She was the soul boy selected from various cities in various places. name.

"This person is Elder Hongdou, one of the four elders of the sect. He looks like an old monster!" Lu Chi tilted his head and introduced to Xixi and Li Che.

However, as soon as Lu Chi finished speaking, Zhu Hongdou's sharp eyes swept over and landed on him.

"You are talking nonsense. This elder is extremely beautiful. He is the most beautiful person in the world. He is like a flower. Don't talk nonsense." Li Che patted Lu Chi's big head and said solemnly.

For the sake of my daughter, I unconscionably praise my subordinates without being shabby.

Lu Chi also felt murderous intent, and realized later that he seemed to have said the wrong thing.

"Now, the soul boy whose name has been read comes to the stage."

Zhu Hongdou seemed to have heard Li Che's unconscionable compliment and curled her lips disdainfully, but she had to say that nice words are pleasing to the ear.

"Elephants ring the city, the best soul boy, the four yellow elephants!"

The words fell.

Huang Sixiang, who was sitting obediently next to the proud and beautiful woman, suddenly stood up and raised his head. His bronze skin seemed to be oiled in the spring rain.

He held his head high and walked forward proudly as the first person whose name was read to him.

He, Huang Sixiang, will always be number one.

"Flying Thunder City, the best soul boy, Li Nuanxi."

Zhu Hongdou read the famous book again.

"Dad, you seem to have called me." Xixi said excitedly.

Li Che put her down and smoothed the wrinkles on her little practice clothes, saying with gentleness and encouragement: "Go, daddy will cheer you up!"

He patted Xixi and then inserted two [Chess Saint] chess pieces to ensure safety.

Xixi nodded and immediately ran towards the wooden platform.

Three-year-old Xixi was small, standing next to Huang Sixiang on the wooden platform, much shorter than him.

Below, there was an uproar, and even a lot of laughter.

"A three-year-old top-grade spiritual child has very good talent, but unfortunately... he is too young."

"Too young to take the test, there is not much advantage, it should be trained for another year, it is safer to take the test at the age of four."

"From Feilei City, that's fine. I heard that Feilei City was bewitched by the monsters of the Corpse God Cult and held the Thousand Infants Festival. Many spiritual children died. It's not easy for this kid to come to the capital city alive..."

...

The voices of conversation below were endless.

However, a three-year-old top-grade spiritual child would probably find it difficult to become a true disciple. He would probably become an inner disciple. He would first be trained for a year, and then see if he could be favored by the elders and promoted to the true disciple.

Zhu Hongdou looked at Xixi with interest, and then continued to read the name.

"Donghuan City, the best spiritual boy, Liu Changqing."

"Qin family, Qin Fenghuo..."

Finally, a total of fifteen names were read out, and fifteen children stood in line on the wooden platform.

There were boys and girls, but at a glance, they were all six or seven years old.

Xixi stood among them, just a head shorter, small, and her spirit was completely suppressed.

Xixi didn't care, blinking her big eyes, and began to look at the boys and girls standing side by side with her. She looked at the good-looking ones more, and quickly looked away from the ugly ones, not looking at them for a second.

But the people below had already started to stir.

Will the first round start the assessment of the best spiritual boy directly?

That means that the true transmission assessment has been opened directly, and these fifteen best spiritual boys will compete for five true transmission positions!

Four elders, and... the sect master!

A total of five true transmission quotas!

Li Che sat in the audience, his palms clenched, and he had to say...he was a little nervous.

Even though he already knew what was going on and was confident in Xixi's talent and strength, he still couldn't help but feel nervous.

This was the emotional outpouring of an old father, unable to contain himself, looking at his own daughter, standing on the stage.

Looking at the tall and strong spiritual children around him, his own daughter was short and small, looking around, with fear in her eyes...

Li Che's heart couldn't help but tremble, and he had the urge to take his daughter.

Zhang Ya didn't know when she grabbed Li Che's big hand, and her hand was also full of sweat, and she was visibly nervous.

"Husband, can Xixi... enter the true sect?"

"I heard that entering the true sect is a different world from entering the inner sect. It is very difficult to enter the inner sect and then advance to the true sect."

Zhang Ya was very nervous, and her words suddenly increased.

Li Che comforted her for a while.

"Don't worry, Xixi's performance won't be bad."

"After all, she is our daughter."

Next to them, Old Chen was trembling with nervousness, more nervous than when he was fleeing and killing bandits. He kept rubbing his hands and drinking the wine in the gourd.

Mother Mu didn't seem nervous, but she kept rubbing Lu Chi's head, which made Lu Chi speechless.

But facing the love from his master's wife, Lu Chi could only bear it with his lips pursed.

On the wooden platform.

The elder Zhang Qingzheng, who was in charge of the assessment, walked in front of all the children with a bitter lotus-like face.

All of a sudden, all fifteen spiritual children dared not breathe.

Xixi almost covered her eyes, such a stinky face.

Zhang Qingzheng stood with his hands behind his back. He felt that his face was about to freeze with laughter. Why didn't these little guys feel his kindness?

"The first round of the sect assessment is the selection of the true disciples."

"The selection of the true disciples is divided into three stages. The first stage is the competition."

"There are five arenas on the wooden stage. I have fifteen origami here. You can draw and select five people to stand on the arena. The others will attack the arena, and the winner will continue to defend the arena."

"The last person standing on the arena will be the winner of the first round of the true disciple assessment."

"The second round will test the divine talent. The divine sect will use the divine sect's vision technique to predict the divine purple qi. The score will be based on the height of the divine purple qi."

"There are three scores: A-level, A-level, and A-level."

"As for the third round, wait until the first two rounds are over."

Zhang Qingzheng's two eyebrows drooped, like the beard of bitter coptis.

He looked at the fifteen top-grade spiritual children on the stage and smiled.

The fifteen spiritual children were frightened by Zhang Qingzheng's stinky face. One by one, they stood up straight and shouted that they knew.

Then Zhang Qingzheng threw out the fifteen origami in his hand.

Invisible Qi surged, and fifteen origami pieces seemed to be covered by an invisible transparent ball, flying around in it.

"Each person draws one, and after opening it, you will know whether you are the defender or the attacker."

Zhang Qingzheng said.

Xixi looked at the origami floating in front of her curiously, stretched out her chubby little hand, and grabbed one.

The surging airflow hit the flesh of her arm, and the flesh trembled, itching and comfortable.

After taking the origami, Xixi opened it with curiosity.

Then his eyes were blank, because there was a word written on it that Xixi could not recognize.

He glanced over, his eyes and eyebrows slightly raised, and shook his head imperceptibly.

A three-year-old spirit boy who became the defender would definitely be treated as a soft persimmon and become the object of many spirit boys competing to attack.

Unfortunately, the rules of the true teaching assessment are like this...

If a three-year-old dares to compete for the true teaching, he must show some ability.

The bitter lotus-like face was straight, the scholar's robe on his body fluttered, and he spoke in a deep voice.

"The defenders of the first round are Huang Sixiang, Qin Fenghuo, Hai Chaosheng, Gongyang Xiu..."

"Li Nuanxi."
