Chapter 50: The Great Wedding (1)
Two days later, in the early morning, before dawn, Wei Dong was violently woken up by Chen Fei and other male disciples of the inner sect, and got up in a daze. Then they were fiddling around - wearing a black crown of pony heads, and a red hero's coat. As the saying goes: Buddha depends on gold, and people rely on clothes. The neatly dressed Wei Dong was simply heroic! A group of people quickly finished eating breakfast, and then followed Wei Dong behind the gong and drum to go up the mountain to greet the bride. Originally, from the mountainside to the bride's residence, it only took a cup of tea to Wei Dong's footsteps, but today it is a long mountain road, and a total of eight checkpoints have been set up on this short road up the mountain.
The first checkpoint was guarded by sixteen pink babies wearing red belly pockets and head-piercing cannons, and when they saw Wei Dong and others coming to him, they all crossed their hands on their waists and shouted in unison, "Oh! I opened this mountain, I planted this tree, I want to pass through here, leave candy!"
Chen Fei was prepared, and immediately grabbed three handfuls of colorful candy from the basket behind him, threw them into the air, and shouted loudly, "Children, go grab it!" The group of little children instantly dispersed, scrambling to grab the candy that had been scattered on the ground. Wei Dong and others successfully passed the first hurdle.
The second checkpoint is guarded by Liu's mother-in-law, who is in charge of the Hong family, and fifteen mothers-in-law dressed in various colors of silk.
Seeing Wei Dong leading a team of brothers and sisters to knock and beat all the way, he immediately put out the 'Eight Gates Golden Lock Array' - eight benches were spread out in formations, and one bench was guarded by two people, one main and one second.
When Chen Fei saw it, he immediately cleverly took out a stack of big red envelopes and started from the first bench. Mother Liu is the main general of the first bench in the town, and she has already thought of a way to make things difficult, but when she opened the red envelope at this moment, her face turned red, which was compared with the length of Guan Yun. She was embarrassed to get up and move the stool, and the seven stool guards behind her were all full of excitement and immediately moved the stool without saying a word.
Wei Dong bowed his hand to them as he moved forward, "Thank you, aunts, aunts!"
Sixteen invited mothers squatted together to pray for blessings, "Let my uncle break the bill!"
Wei Dong and the others beat the gongs and drums again and came to the third level.
There are only three women guarding this level. One of them was quite old, about 40 years old, and next to him were two of her students, one on the left and the other on the right.
Wei Dong stepped forward and waved respectfully to the middle-aged woman, and said, "Please ask Madame to ask the question!"
The woman looked at Wei Dong and said a pair of upper couplets, and asked Wei Dong to make them a lower couplet for any time.
The upper link is: the child's good marriage and happy events from the heart of the mother
Although Wei Dong was familiar with reading military books with Sima Bin, he had expertise in learning, and as soon as this couplet came out, Wei Dong was dumbfounded, and hurriedly turned his head to look at the senior brothers and brothers behind him for help. Chen Fei had already prepared, and stepped forward to whisper a few words in Wei Dong's ear.
Wei Dong stabilized his mind and pretended to be thinking hard, but in fact he was waiting for backup. Sure enough, not long after, an inner disciple quietly came from the rear and stuffed a note into Chen Fei's hand.
Chen Fei opened it and took a look at it, silently remembering it. stepped forward and bent down at the lady, "Madam, I'm coming out, and the next link is: The guests are grateful for their relatives and friends."
The lady recited this sentence over and over again, and after a while she said, "Okay, you have passed!"
"Okay!" everyone roared with joy, and continued to beat gongs and drums and set off towards the fourth level.
The guard of the fourth level is Elder Lin, he is an elder of the outer gate, and his divine power is extraordinary. For him to guard this level, it must be related to strength.
Wei Dong and a group of senior brothers behind him all bent down to greet Elder Lin.
"I'll make a long story short, Elder Hong is the elder of the outer gate, and I am also from the outer gate, I am very happy that she got married today! I won't embarrass you, as long as you can lift this iron lock above your head, I will complete the task, and you will continue to move forward!" Elder Lin said to everyone very happily.
"Okay, I'll try. Wei Dong shook off the red coat, revealing a dark color suit inside. Before coming to the iron lock, the iron lock was dark and rectangular, with a protruding ring at the top, Wei Dong stretched out his right hand and grabbed the lock ring violently and lifted it up, but the iron lock did not move.
'Hey, it's so heavy!' Wei Dong felt that things were not so simple, so he increased his strength, but the iron lock still didn't move!
Wei Dong turned his head to look at Elder Lin, only to see Elder Lin smile, "With such great strength, how can you marry Elder Hong?"
Looking at Elder Lin with a treacherous smile on his face, Wei Dong had an urge to whip him!'Calm down, calm down!' Wei Dong bent down again, sank into the dantian, and held the ring with both hands, "Give it to me!"
Wei Dong's face was flushed, and the blue tendons on his forehead were prominent.
The iron lock was finally slowly lifted, all the way above his head, and then gently lowered by Wei Dong!
"Elder Lin, how did you pass the test?" Wei Dong clapped his hands and asked Elder Lin casually.
Elder Lin was a little distracted, and only came to his senses after a while, "It's okay, it's passed!
At this time, the sound of gongs and drums became loud again, "Knock knock, knock, knock······"
Soon, a group of welcoming teams came to the fifth level, and the guard here turned out to be Elder Chen, who watched the arrival of the group with a smile.
"Lord... Elder Chen, why are you? Didn't you say that it was Elder Zhang?" Chen Fei asked in surprise.
"Boy, can't I do it on a whim?" Elder Chen glared at Chen Fei.
"The competition here is archery, that is, archery!" Elder Chen pointed to the big tree about a hundred meters away from here, and said loudly, "As long as you can shoot the saucer placed on this tree, you will pass the level!"
"Where's the saucer?" everyone hurriedly searched for Wei Dong.
Found it, an inner brother found the location of the saucer, it was placed on the branches of a branch, and it really couldn't be found if you didn't look closely.
Although Wei Dong practiced archery when he was a child, he hadn't practiced it for a long time, and his hands were inevitably a little rusty. I saw that he put the arrow, and "squeaked" to pull the bowstring, aimed at the target and started to start an arrow, and the arrow grazed the saucer and flew out, but it was just a little short. The crowd exclaimed in surprise and loudly approved.
He shot five arrows in succession, but he was getting farther and farther away from the target.
Wei Dong hurriedly let go of his bow and arrows, closed his eyes, and adjusted his breathing. Raise the bow again and shoot the arrow.
Elder Chen looked at Wei Dong silently from the side, thinking in his heart, "It seems that he will have to strengthen his archery practice in the future, how can this arrow shoot so miserably!"
Finally, there was a crisp sound of "dang chang" in the distance! "Shoot! Shoot!" Suddenly the sound of gongs and drums sounded again. "Knock knock, knock knock, knock knock······"
Elder Chen stepped forward again and said, "Okay, you've passed!"
The sixth level, what I said before was Wenguan - composing poetry, but I don't know what kind of poem it is?
The group soon came to the sixth level, and there was an old gentleman standing at the pass, all with white hair, but he looked in good spirits and had a straight waist.
Wei Dong led everyone to the old gentleman, bent down and bowed, "Hello old gentleman, please ask the old gentleman!"
"Okay, let's take summer as the theme and make a seven-character quatrain!" Mr. Wei Dong was not embarrassed.
Wei Dong paced back and forth with his hands on his back, thought for a while, and said, "Not only spring and summer are also good, but flowers and plants are careers." The deer onion is untipped with a slender stalk, and the golden phoenix still blooms the smallest flower. ”
The old gentleman looked at Wei Dong with a smile and said, "Good poem! You have passed the customs! Go up, don't let the bride wait for a long time!"
"Yes!" Wei Dong bowed again. There were gongs and drums around him again.
"It's finally the seventh level," Wei Dong let out a long sigh and continued to lead everyone forward.
The seventh level is the martial arts level, which is the fight between the bridesmaids and the groomsmen. Chen Fei was waiting for this level, holding back his strength to defeat the bridesmaids.
Wei Dong looked at Chen Fei's hair standing up and asked, "Chen Fei, who is the bridesmaid?
"Hmph, she is also from the inner door, you must have seen it, but you are not familiar with it, this girl is very fierce, if it weren't for the rules in the door, I would have beaten her a long time ago!" Chen Fei said fiercely.
"You're going to beat even a woman. Wei Dong had a surprised expression on his face.
"A woman is not a human being, is she?"
As he was talking, he saw a red-clothed female general, holding a wooden sword, standing at the crossing, glaring at them angrily.
"Isn't that her?, isn't she?" Wei Dong began to be a little skeptical of Chen Fei's statement.
Chen Fei rushed forward and shouted to the female general, "Jiang Jie, our account, hehe, it's over today!"
"Okay, if you lose, Wei Dong won't be able to marry Elder Hong today, what?" the woman named Jiang Jie raised her head and said arrogantly.
"This?" Chen Fei hesitated, not daring to speak.
"Promise her! Chen Fei, leave me alone, be tough!" Wei Dong suddenly felt a little angry in his heart when he heard Jiang Jie's words.
Chen Fei looked back at Wei Dong and smiled gratefully, Wei Dong tilted his head, "Your smile is worse than crying!"
"you!" Chen Fei punched Wei Dong and said to Jiang Jie, "Okay!
After speaking, the two of them fought together, Chen Fei was the main attacker, Jiang did not flinch, and chose to attack Chen Fei! Wei Dong looked at the two and felt that their strength was equal, but there was no Jiang Jie's name in the first eleven miles? Wei Dong turned his head and asked a senior brother behind him, it turned out that Jiang Jie was originally in the top five, but he was challenged by Chen Fei last year.
Wei Dong felt very puzzled, it stands to reason that Jiang Jie hated Chen Fei, where could Chen Fei hate Jiang Jie so much. There's definitely something going on here.
The two fought for a while, Jiang Jie jumped outside the fighting circle with a false move, and said, "Today is Elder Hong's big day, I won't worry about you!
"Okay, thank you, senior sister!" Wei Dong clenched his fists. The sound of gongs and drums shook the heavens and the earth again.
The group finally reached the top of the mountain at noon and came to the eighth and final level.
