Chapter 93 The Fifth Spiritual Testing in Qingshi Village
Time flies and time cannot be retained.
In the blink of an eye, two months passed, and it was early December
More than half of winter has passed, and the weather has become colder. Snowflakes kept falling from the sky, covering the ground with A thick layer of snow-white coat.
In this cold winter, all the villagers in Qingshi Village are hiding in their houses.
But Ling Rufan, who is over a hundred years old and a monk, still has to brave the cold wind and white snow, ride a fairy crane, and travel around Anyang County occupied by his family to provide services to those stationed in the low-level spiritual mountains within the territory. The tribesmen distribute offerings and harvest the mature spiritual plants in these spiritual mountains.
On this day, Ling Rufan came to Qingshi Mountain.
As soon as he jumped off the back of the fairy crane, he preached to Ling Pengyun who had been waiting for him.
"Peng Yun, after this year, as soon as next January after testing the spiritual roots of the children of the right age in Qingshi Village, you can go home, and your offerings will return to normal by then. Your offerings will be doubled as if you were stationed in this Qingshi Mountain. After you return to your clan mountain in the future, you will pay tribute every day. The monthly offerings still need to be collected at the family general affairs hall at the beginning of each month as usual until you are sent out by the family again. These four hundred spiritual stones will be the dividends of the mines that belong to you this year."
Finished. After saying this, Ling Rufan waved four hundred spiritual stones from his storage bag on the ground.
"I understand, Ninth Great-Ancestor." Ling Pengyun nodded and put the spirit stones on the ground into his storage bag.
After a few polite words, Ling Pengyun and Ling Rufan took out the farm tools from the storage bags together and harvested this year's batch of mature spiritual plants in the six acres of spiritual fields in Qingshi Mountain.
Ling Pengyun kept a portion of the dividends from the two acres of Yellow Jade Spirit Rice harvested this year in his own hands, intending to keep it to feed the seven little Songhua Spirit Chickens. He did not divide the dividends into spirits as in previous years. Rice is sold to the family.
After the spiritual plants here were harvested, Ling Rufan, an old man in the family, waved three small bags of seeds from the storage bag, handed them to Ling Pengyun, and said.
"Peng Yun, these are the three spiritual plant seeds that need to be planted in these six acres of spiritual fields in the coming year. At this time, there are still more than twenty days before the next clan member comes to station here. During this period, Time, it would be a pity to leave the six acres of spiritual land here empty, and I would have to work harder for you.”
Ling Peng said in words. "The ninth great-grandfather was joking. Planting seeds is not difficult. It's just a trivial matter. It's not tiring."
"Let's go." Ling Rufan was extremely satisfied with the answer, nodded lightly, and said goodbye. , he climbed over the side of the mountain and flew away from the mountain on the back of the fairy crane.
After Ling Pengyun watched Ling Rufan leave, he immediately set off and carefully planted the topaz spiritual rice, qi training grass, and sword star grass seeds in the soil using a "spiritual hoe".
After planting these seeds, Ling Pengyun’s spiritual consciousness scanned the spiritual soil in the six acres of spiritual fields and detected that the quality of the spiritual soil in the two acres of spiritual fields where yellow jade spiritual rice was planted had been upgraded to the highest "Grade A" "There is even an acre of B-quality spiritual soil planted with Qi-training grass, which is about to be upgraded to A-class, and his expression suddenly became happy.
“The second-class quality spiritual soil planted in this acre of Qi-training grass should be able to be upgraded to first-class quality with the help of the three ground-covering earthworms in the last twenty days or so. At that time, if the family has spare spiritual stones, they can spend less spiritual stones and use the soil-nurturing technique to upgrade the three acres of spiritual fields containing first-class spiritual soil to the first-level mid-grade.”
"Even if the level of the three acres of first-grade spiritual soil is not improved, they will still be of great help to the growth of the first-grade low-grade spiritual plants that will be planted on those three acres of spiritual land in the future."
"This can be considered a good thing. I am worthy of my family for gifting me those three ground-covering earthworms.”
The high quality of the spiritual soil will not only help the growth of the spiritual plant, but also help to improve the level of the spiritual field.
For example, the six-acre spiritual field on the top of Qingshi Mountain was developed from 99% of the spiritual energy in the spiritual veins of this mountain.
The spiritual veins here have long been unable to support the improvement of the six acres of spiritual land to a higher level. At this time, if Lingtian's level wanted to be improved, he could only rely on Ling Zhifu's earth-nurturing technique and the spiritual energy contained in a large number of spiritual stones.
This method of improving the level of the spiritual field is similar to the "Spirit Ascension Formation" used when improving the level of the spiritual veins.
The grade of spiritual fields is also related to the grade of spiritual plants planted. In spiritual fields of the same level, only spiritual plants of the same level can be planted.
Ling Pengyun muttered to himself, came back to his senses, made a secret with his hands, and used the Cloud and Rain Technique to summon a large cloud and drop drops of spiritual rain to nourish the newly planted spiritual plant seeds and stimulate their vitality. growing up.
……
More than twenty days are just a blink of an eye for ascetic monks like Ling Pengyun. In the blink of an eye, it is January 1 of the following year.
January 1 is the beginning of the new year, and it is also a big day in Qingshi Village.
On this day in Qingshi Village this year, just like in previous years, all the eight-year-old children in Qingshi Village gathered outside the ancestral hall in the center of Qingshi Village under the leadership of their parents.
Like a door god, the village chief "Ling Dong" standing at the gate of the ancestral hall glanced at the children in the crowd around him. When he saw that all the children who were eight years old this year were here, he looked up again When the sky turned brighter, he noticed that it was "this time" and loudly announced to the surrounding villagers.
"When the time comes, the children who are testing their spiritual roots this time have lined up and entered the ancestral hall one by one to let the immortal test their immortality."
The villagers of Qingshi Village who brought their children here to test their spiritual roots heard this and quickly called their children to line up at the entrance of the ancestral temple.
Ling Dong saw that the children who were doing spirit testing this year were all lined up. Then he turned around, opened the door of the ancestral hall behind him, and called the children one by one to enter.
But without exception, these children would all walk out of the ancestral hall soon.
This scene made the village chief Lingdong’s expectant expression gradually diminish, making the parents of the children who had tested positive for immortality secretly cry out for pity, and also made the parents of the surrounding children who had not yet tested the spiritual destiny feel nervous and worried. I pray that my children will have the destiny of immortality.
Inside the ancestral hall.
Sitting in front of a small table in the center of the ancestral hall, Ling Pengyun, who was presiding over the Qingshi Village Soul Testing Conference, saw that the little girl in front of him who was holding the spirit test stone tightly did not cause the changes in the spirit test stone. With a sad look on his face, he took the spirit test stone. After taking it back, he waved his hand to call it back.
He has been stationed at Qingshi Mountain for five years, and has hosted spirit testing conferences five times this time. He has tested nearly 1,500 children in Qingshi Village to see if they have spiritual roots. However, only one person with spiritual roots has been tested, a child named "Lingshan" many years ago.
After five years of stationing, only one person with spiritual roots was detected, Ling Pengyun was not satisfied.
The Ling clan is currently not very prosperous. If there is one more clan member with spiritual roots, it will be of great help to the Ling clan.
