Before dawn the next day, Lu Tong was called up by his father.

Lu Tong rubbed his sleepy eyes, got up, got dressed, and went to the big house to see that his mother had already prepared a meal and was waiting for him.

"Mother, I'm not hungry and don't want to eat. Lu Tong said while rubbing his eyes.

"Eat quickly, hurry up when you're done. Dad urged.

Lu Tong sat down and ate two bites casually, and stood up.

"Ready?" asked Dad.

"Have you eaten, have you eaten?"

"It's early, let's go! Don't make people wait. ”

When Lu Tong and his father arrived at the north entrance of the village, there were already several people waiting there.

"Daddy, here. ”

"Brother, you've been here early, so you've been waiting for a long time. Facing the greeting of the bolted father, Lu Tong's father replied that because of the relationship between the eldest sister, the relationship between the two families is very good, so he was the first to say hello. Subsequently, Lu Tong's father said hello to several other people and waited with Lu Tong, Lu Tong wanted to say hello to other friends, but was stopped by his father.

"Look, the Jiang family's carriage is here. "I don't know who has sharp eyes, at a glance saw three carriages in the black fog, in Shuangquan Village, the Jiang family is an absolute big family, and the village chief is also the Jiang family, so only the Jiang family has a carriage, this time several families who are eligible to participate in the election After the family discussed, each family paid some money and pooled a tael of silver to invite the Jiang family to send the children out of the car to participate in the election.

"Village Chief, you're here. ”

"Village Chief, here. ”

"Village Chief, you're early!"

Everyone greeted each other with a lot of chatter.

The patriarch of the Jiang family is also the village head, named Jiang Youbao, nicknamed Jiang Wangba, and it is not who brought him a green hat. In Shuangquan Village, it is estimated that no one dares to cuckold him, just because he likes to drink Wang Ba soup, begging him to do some small things, as long as he goes to the river sand to catch a big Wang Ba and send it over, it is basically done, slowly, Jiang Wang Ba spread in the village, although no one dares to face it, but the children don't care about this, they call him that in private.

"Everyone, be quiet. Jiang Youbao cleared his throat and continued.

"This immortal selection conference was held in our Beiquan Town, it is our honor, although the immortal selection conference is held once every five years, but it will take our turn in Beiquan Town in fifty years. And our village was able to participate in the selection because of my unremitting efforts. As you know, our Jiang family ancestors have been immortals, so this time the immortals took pity on our Shuangquan Village and gave us more than a dozen places. Jiang Youbao said as he waved his hands to the sky and bowed down.

"Therefore, everyone should cherish this opportunity, whether you are elected or not, this is the glory of my Shuangquan Village, okay, I won't say anything else, everyone get in the car and set off. After Jiang Youbao finished speaking, he leaned over and got into the most haode carriage in front of him.

Everyone scrambled with each other and jumped into the other two carriages.

The carriage slowly set off towards Beiquan Town.

"Dad, you said that we can choose a few people in our village this time!" Er Ya looked up and asked his father.

"This, my father doesn't know, I'll know if I choose it, I can't choose it, a girl, don't think so much. The second father replied.

In fact, Erya's father didn't want Erya to go, but the children in the town were registered, and all children between the ages of twelve and fifteen had to participate, and if they didn't participate, the tax would be increased by five times, which was not something he could afford.

He also heard from his ancestors about what the Immortal Selection Conference was all about, as if as long as he was selected, he would have to go with others, and he wouldn't be able to return home for a few years. And if you can't pass the test, you'll still be returned, and the boy is okay to say. I heard that no one dared to marry after the girl was returned, what to say: immortals don't stay, how dare mortals ask for it.

Fortunately, not everyone can be chosen, and one out of a hundred children may not be chosen, although there are worries, but once they are retained, they will become immortals. Therefore, although the second father was worried, he still came, and the right to take the child to see it for a long time, it is estimated that most fathers think so.

At sunrise in the east, the carriage finally arrived at the south gate of Beiquan Town, Jiang Youbao jumped out of the carriage, and asked while looking at the city gate: "Old Guan, where is the immortal selection conference!"

"Walk through the door and head north to the town square. The doorman looked at Jiang Youbao and pointed at it casually.

"Xiexie, it's work, it's work. Jiang Youbao handed over a few copper coins as he spoke, then turned around and got into the carriage and directed towards the square.

Knowing that they were in town, the children could no longer sit still, and they lifted the curtain of the carriage to look out.

"Look, that's the stone lion that Brother Bolt said, it's so big!" said a bald boy.

"Look, over there, there are two bigger ones over there, hey, look at the sugar gourds that sell over there, my dad bought them for me, they're delicious!" replied the other boy as he smashed his mouth.

"Dad, you can buy me something to eat too, I haven't eaten it yet?"

Most of the children had never been to the town before, and the novelty was terrible, and they were all noisy, and the fathers were too lazy to care, and they all laughed, as if recalling the scene when they first arrived in town.

At this time, the town square was already full of children from ten villages and eight villages who came to participate in the selection, plus the children from the other three nearby towns had nearly a thousand children, and a large area of black pressure.

"What about you, from Shuangquan Village, come here, come here. Seeing Jiang Youbao, a person in charge said.

"Steward Li, hello, hello! This is the dog Jiang Kun, please take a look at it, take a look at it. Jiang Youbao said as he stuffed his eyes into Steward Li's hand.

But this time, Steward Li didn't even hit Haha, and said casually: "According to the procedure, what do you think this is? This is the Immortal Selection Conference, not a place to drink." After saying that, I didn't see him commanding another selection team.

Jiang Youbao was bored by himself, and he didn't say anything, he knew about the immortal selection conference, his ancestors had immortals, that was the third brother of the grandfather, it was because of this incident that their Jiang family gradually developed in Beiquan Town, and even his clan nephew also followed the light, settled down in Shuangquan Village, and became a leading household. But I heard that the third grandfather never came back after a trip, and I heard that he had died outside a long time ago, but fortunately, at this time, the Jiang family has developed well, otherwise it is still the same, he heard his grandfather say that the selection of immortals, in fact, there is nothing unusual is that the person is selected to stand in front of a stone pillar, and he will know if he succeeds. No, what should be done or what, this time he did not report any confidence that he would be chosen, because he knew that it seemed to be related to some root, spiritual root and the like, and this was not something that silver could solve, so he had to resign himself to fate.

"Dad, there are so many people!" Lu Tong tugged at his father's shirt with one hand and pointed to the person in front of him with the other.

"Child, there's nothing to be afraid of, I went to the bolt's house last night, and listened to his father say something about this immortal selection conference, don't worry, it doesn't hurt or itch, it'll be fine in a while." Lu Tong's father paused for a moment, and then said:

"Don't worry about what you can't choose. Elected, that is the ancestor of the accumulation of virtue, if you can't choose, it doesn't matter, after two years, your father will tell you a daughter-in-law, live a good life. ”

Hearing his father say this, Lu Tong unconsciously glanced at Erya twice, and then thought about it wildly.

"It's all quiet, Donghua Town to the east, Xiliu Town to the west, Nanshi Town to the south, Beiquan Town to the north. Suddenly, a loud noise reached everyone's ears. People unconsciously rushed to their places.

After a while, the people quieted down, and saw a person standing on the central stage, about eighteen or nineteen years old, with a delicate complexion, a well-proportioned figure, wearing a blue-blue silver-rimmed coat, carrying a sword behind his back, looking otherworldly on the stage, and there was a person sitting behind this person, who looked about thirty or forty years old, wearing blue and gold-rimmed clothes, his face was slightly yellow, and his eyes were always turning, as if he was looking for something. Behind this man stood two people, a man and a woman. The male is estimated to be in his twenties, dressed the same as the person standing in front, and he can't see any expression, while the female is estimated to be fourteen or fifteen years old, wearing plain and red clothes that are particularly conspicuous, and at that station he looks clear-eyed, like a fairy jade boy.
