Chapter 2: Mortals without Spiritual Roots
When she opened her eyes, she was already lying by the small river in the shallow water village. The sky was blue like I had never seen before, and the grass and gurgling water around us were all around, and the smoke of cooking rose from the chimneys of the field huts. On Earth, such a beautiful scenery is enough to enter a painting.
But in her eyes, it was indescribably weird! Fortunately, she had read some time-traveling novels before, and she reluctantly settled down, trying to find out who played this prank for herself, a god or a mortal?
The people of Reshwater Village kindly took her in. She faked her amnesia, and in the gossip of the village women, she barely managed to spell out the roughest outline of the world.
This is the world of Xianxia! This is the world of Taoism and nature, and the world of monsters is rampant!
The most important thing is that this is still a world where immortals fight and mortals suffer! There were once two immortals who fought and destroyed a mountain with a single move! Once a big monster was born and ate up the entire city overnight! Once, ...... Need another example?
Originally, she was still skeptical, until one day, she accidentally saw a white light flying from the sky above the shallow water village, but it was a young Taoist stepping on a silver shining sword and passing by. Ning Xiaoxian stretched out his hand and pointed to the sky calmly, and said in a trembling voice: "Someone flew over!"
She can't blame her for making a fuss and sweeping the faces of earthlings, this scene is too visually striking, in her original world, people can only fly in the sky when they are sitting in an airplane, and there is a risk of crashing or going missing.
Villager Sister-in-law Song's eyes were quick, and she slapped her paws: "Don't point your finger at the immortal chief!
She scolded with a smile: "You little dirt bun, why don't you have any common sense? It's not easy to see the immortal chief in other places, but it's commonplace in us." She said proudly, "Our shallow water village is backed by Chixiao Mountain. There are many immortal elders and immortal aunts in the Chixiao faction on the mountain, and they are all very capable. They often come out to get rid of demons and subdue demons, and there are often immortals in our village who visit them. ”
That is to say, Qianshui Village has dealings with this Chixiao Sect! Ning Xiaoxian was refreshed when he heard this, and after a sugar-coated cannonball with sweet words, he learned that the Chixiao Sect opened the mountain gate every three years and recruited disciples. Reshallow Water Village is also considered to be the first to get the moon near the water, and every time one or two young children will be selected as outer disciples.
But no matter how low the level is, it is also stepping into the world of Xianxia. She knew from a young age that the world was not peaceful for the poor, and that the world was very, very unsafe for mortals. Ning Xiaoxian, who is new to the city and is unfamiliar with life, subconsciously wants to find a good backer for himself.
Coincidentally, the time when the Chixiao Sect opened the mountain gate happened to be in this year. With a shy face, she climbed Chixiao Mountain with many young children from nearby villages and towns, hoping to meet the fairy fate and become a member of the great Chixiao faction.
It's a pity that when she was testing the spiritual root, she became the focus of attention in the square - the outer gate elder of the Chixiao Sect rubbed his eyes repeatedly, and exclaimed, "No spiritual root?!
As long as it is a human, whether it is a fairy or a mortal, there will always be a certain spiritual root attribute on the body, which is also the most basic qualification that immortal cultivators rely on. But Ning Xiaoxian, the result of the measurement was a huge duck egg! Even if you throw Hu Laoqi for testing, it will not be a tabula rasa on the spiritual root! The elder does not believe in evil, so he tests her twice more, and the result is still exactly the same. "I've been in charge of this apprenticeship for 46 years, and it's the first time I've seen something like this happening!" he could only sigh at how wonderful the world was while he was sure that the little girl was definitely human.
Ning Xiaoxian's path to seeking immortals was cut off here, because the elder told her that no immortal sect would accept disciples without spiritual roots. In this life, she can only live as a mortal, live as a mortal, and die as a mortal.
But she wasn't reconciled. Doesn't it take energy for the thief to teleport her to this world? Could it be that when her head is caught by a door, she is willing to do something that hurts others and loses money to herself? This doesn't make sense.
She talked about her poor life experience (of course, it was made up) with a handful of snot and tears, until she spoke wildly and her mouth was dry, and the kind old man sighed, thinking that she was a 17-year-old girl whose parents died early, was lonely, wandering all over the world, had no spiritual roots, and was destined to be like an ant and a bleak end in the rest of her life, and agreed to let her come to the kitchen to help when the mountain held a heavy festival. It must be mentioned that the lives of mortals in this world are very fragile, and poor orphans like the ones she said are actually not uncommon.
After that, Ning Xiaoxian immediately held the chicken feather as an arrow, and ran to Chixiao Mountain if he had nothing to do. Although she is not absolutely beautiful, she is delicate and lovely, but her mouth is sweet, and her brothers and sisters keep shouting. The disciple guarding the mountain made a few difficult things for her at first, but then she was so coaxed that she was so happy that she waved her hand and let her go.
She is also very mixed in the kitchen of Chixiao Mountain. She has been independent since she was a child, and she has long been a good cook, and she has to go to a tavern three nights a week to be the chef. The Chixiao faction advocates hard work up and down, and is not very concerned about eating and drinking. Although Ning Xiaoxian's food in the kitchen is also commonplace, it is in line with the principle of light and elegant in the Chixiao faction, but the taste is one word: praise!
The elders have all reached the realm of Bigu*, but occasionally they use the delicacies she makes, and they still smile and praise them.
Ning Xiaoxian was also very smart, and only put the credit for the delicious food on the other cooks, and only a few important elders learned about it "inadvertently". Therefore, the servants in the kitchen did not hate her for stealing their jobs, but liked her very much.
She and the Chixiao faction seemed to have a close relationship, so that Hu Laoqi did not dare to act rashly for a long time. Until today, she was sweaty and heavy, and this obscene man couldn't help but rush over, and almost broke his life.
=========================
She sat on the floor and gasped for a long time before she managed to get up.
Brother Brick saved her life, and she raised her hand to pick it up. As a result, a ring fell out of the fracture with a "ding" and rolled on the ground twice.
Isn't this the essential golden finger of the legendary traverser? The thief has been secretly hiding for a whole year, and finally let her find out? Ning Xiaoxian was suddenly filled with joy and sorrow, and couldn't help but raise his head and laugh three times.
But when she picked it up, alas, she was immediately disappointed, this ring was black, it looked like it was carved out of broken wood, where is the high-end atmosphere of the local tyrant gold?
(PS: Bigu*: Don't eat food cooked with fire, just drink water and take some natural food.) )
