Chapter 550 Testing Spiritual Roots
"What kind of meeting are you having? Why don't you let people out?" Wu Lian turned his head and looked at the captain of the guard with a puzzled look on his face.

The captain of the guard remained expressionless and said seriously, "I'm notified from above that you shouldn't ask questions that you shouldn't ask. Why do you want to go out?"

Wu Lian felt a chill on his back and touched his neck nonchalantly, "Um, I'm not going out. I'm not going out, so just ask."

Jiang Lian glanced at the city wall and the surrounding soldiers. They were all monks. There were more than twice as many patrol guards as before, and the exits were tightly surrounded. Even a fly would be hard to escape from this situation.

Jiang Lian pulled Wu Lian back, "Let's go back to the inn."

Wu Lian felt a little nervous when he saw the large number of guards, and immediately returned to the inn with Jiang Lian and others.

Many pedestrians on the road also noticed that the city gate was closed, and surrounded the gatekeepers, chirping and asking about the situation.

Back at the inn, Wu Lian couldn't stay any longer, "This situation is wrong. Why are they locking the city gate during a meeting? How about we run away."

"We can't leave. If the central city really wants to block the city gate, no one in this city can escape." Wei Chen said calmly.

—

The conference lasted for two days and two nights. Representatives sent by various clans and sects left the central city one after another. They were sitting on sedan chairs. Jiang Lian couldn't see their expressions clearly, but he could tell from the solemn atmosphere around them. I felt the oppression of this conference.

Soon, guards came out of the palace in the central city. The leader of the guards summoned his spiritual power and announced, "From today on, the people of the central city and the following subordinate countries, and even the entire world of immortality, will all be tested for their spiritual roots, regardless of men or women. All persons over the age of ten are recorded in the Yellow Register, managed by the city officials and county magistrates in each district, and handed over to the central city."

The voice of the guard commander resounded throughout the city, and the people on the street began to discuss it.

"Testing spiritual roots? The conference has been discussing for two days and two nights and only asked everyone to test their spiritual roots... How ridiculous." They never expected that after such a long discussion, everyone was only asked to test their spiritual roots...

"My daughter had her spiritual roots tested when she was ten years old. I don't know why I'm going to do it again. I'm so busy!"

At this time, a peasant woman poked her head in. She had a foreign accent and her voice was a little timid. "When will this spiritual root be tested? Will it cost money? My baby is 15 years old and I still don’t know if he has spiritual roots..."

A woman in brocade clothes looked at the peasant woman up and down, a little surprised, "How much does a spirit-testing stone cost? Your baby hasn't even tested his spiritual roots at the age of 15. If he has spiritual roots, wouldn't you have delayed him completely? , I really don’t know how you became a mother..."

The peasant woman became even more anxious when she heard this. She explained, "The child's father died early, and I raised the child alone. I really don't have any spare money."

She comes from a remote village in Xiangcheng. She can usually feed her children, let alone get any spiritual roots.Now that the baby is old and needs to study, she gritted her teeth and walked for several days and nights to the central city, just to sell the agricultural products in her hands for a few more copper coins.

The woman in jinyi sneered, "Don't have any extra money? If you rent out the extra house and sell it, won't you get money? After all, you are still lazy. Now that you know you are in a hurry, why did you go there earlier? You deserve to delay your child."

After the woman in brocade finished speaking, she turned around and left, leaving the peasant woman alone.

The peasant woman opened her mouth, and when she saw the woman in brocade walking away, she swallowed the words she wanted to explain.There was a bitter taste in her mouth, extra house?She can't even afford food and clothing, so how can she have an extra house, and how can she sell it and rent it out?
