After a long pause, Yan Ling sighed lightly: "I have heard Master say that there are 3,000 Dao methods for cultivating into immortals in these three realms, but I only know two now: the first gate is the soul into immortals, like the corpse into immortals, soldiers into immortals, fire into immortals, and water into ......immortals; Brother Dingzhi, this should be the flesh/body/immortal, but Brother Dingzhi, are you Fengxue Pavilion or Tan Wenji now?"

Wen Ji said solemnly: "Ling'er: I am not Fengxue Pavilion, Fengxue Pavilion does not know my ancestors, my parents, my brothers and sisters, I live alone in these three realms, what is the point of becoming an immortal? Tan Wenji knows that there are ancestors, he knows that he has parents, he knows that he has a younger brother, he knows that there is Sister Yan Ling and many relatives in the Tan Mansion, I am Tan Wenji now. ”

After hearing these words, Yan Ling was both moved and worried, and said quietly: "Brother Dingzhi, whether you are Fengxue Pavilion or Tan Wenji, now you have become an immortal, but I ...... I'm so scared of losing you. ”

"Ling'er: Don't be afraid, I will definitely be by your side. Wen Ji warmly hugged Yan Ling and made her feel her sincerity.

Yan Ling didn't look happy, and snuggled tightly in Wen Ji's arms, looking sad and thoughtful.

The golden-headed blue unicorn flew up for a while, dived for a while, and spun for a while...... The four hooves stepped out of the auspicious clouds and continued to gallop in the void.

Unconsciously, the bright moon gradually sank into the sea of clouds in the west, and the light also converged, and the sea of clouds in the east began to dance with countless fish scales with white light, getting brighter and brighter, more and more colorful. Suddenly, a round of rising sun burst out, staining the nearby sea of clouds red.

At the same time, it also clothed Wen Ji and Yan Ling, who were playing, with a golden sunshine, as if heaven and earth were flying.

Yan Ling overlooked the round of rising sun in the distance, and said in surprise: "Brother Dingzhi, look: a sea of clouds, a round of red sun, how beautiful!"

"Well, it's beautiful, it's beautiful...... Ling'er, are you having fun tonight?" Wenji asked softly.

"Well, I know that Brother Dingzhi has been sad, but he came here to make me feel at ease and happy, so I must be happy!"

"Ling'er: After I go to the Three Immortal Caves of Hanging Hushan to rescue my mother's 'soul', I will take you out to play happily. ”

"Okay, we'll make up our minds!" Yan Ling stretched out his right palm and asked for a high-five as an oath.

"A word is a certainty!" Wenji stretched out his left palm and struck lightly, "Ling'er, it's dawn, we should go back too." ”

Yan Ling nodded and hummed softly.

Wen Ji then slapped the golden-headed blue unicorn and hurriedly turned back to Tanjiazhuang.

After galloping for a long time, he had reached the sky above Tanjiazhuang, Wen Ji drank and ordered the golden-headed blue unicorn to turn back into the appearance of a flower cat, and then gently landed in the courtyard of Tan's mansion with Yan Ling in his arms.

But no one found out that it was very early in the sky, and the dawn on the ground was late, and the sky was still dark at this time, and everyone in Tan Mansion had not gotten up yet.

So Wen Ji sent Yan Ling back to the door of the bedroom, and then turned around and went back to the room to rest.

Yan Ling tiptoed into the bedroom.

Under the unextinguished oil lamp, it was found that Xiaohua had been curled up on the small bed in the outer room and slept peacefully, Yan Ling took the futon and covered her, after all, it had entered Juyue, the weather gradually became cooler, and the second half of the night became even colder. Then she picked up the oil lamp, quietly went into the inner room of the bedroom, took the water from the copper soup pot, washed her hands and feet, and went to bed.

But Yan Ling couldn't sleep on the left or right, and her mind was full of cranky thoughts: for a while, she remembered that Wen Ji had become an immortal in the flesh, and for a while she remembered what the Nine Heavens Xuannu said to her, "Yin Yin is lost, and the Flying Shadow is destroyed", and for a while, she remembered that Master Li Shan's mother taught her the Flying Shadow Knife, and for a while, she remembered the matter of marrying Wen Ji tomorrow...... The more I thought about it, the more I blushed, the more I thought about it, the more annoyed I became, and finally fell asleep in a daze.

The streamer is like flowing water, passing suddenly.

I don't know how many hours later, Yan Ling suddenly felt that someone was shaking her constantly: "Miss, get up quickly...... Do you know what day it is? 'Kaimen' mother-in-law has already arrived, you are still sleeping, get up, get up, get up......"

Yan Ling was suddenly shaken awake, and when he found out that it was Xiaohua, he shrugged up and sat up, and said angrily: "Xiaohua, what do you want to do, I'm sleeping soundly!"

"Miss, are you still sleeping?" The mother-in-law has already arrived, and she is eating tea in the hall and waiting for you to open the noodles?"

"Mother-in-law, give me 'open noodles', what the hell is this?" Yan Ling said in horror.

"Miss, you still dare to talk nonsense, tomorrow you are going to marry the eldest son, what else do you say 'ghost' ah 'ghost', and you are not afraid of bad luck? ”

When Yan Ling heard this, she turned her head to look at it, only to find that Xiao Yu was also standing aside, so she hurriedly asked, "Sister Xiao Yu, what does this 'open noodles' mean, is it scary?"

"Hey, my young lady, I really obey you, this 'open face' is one of the etiquette of the daughter's family before marriage, that is, use a twisted double thread to twist the hair on the bride's face, cut the forehead and sideburns, repair the eyebrows, and dress the daughter's family beautifully to get married. This daughter's family only meets once in her life, which is a sign of marriage, what is scary or not. Xiaoyu said quietly.

"Oh...... Be... That's what happened. Yan Ling lowered his face shyly.

"Miss, the mother-in-law has been waiting for a long time, get up quickly, the toiletry has already been prepared for you, and when you have washed up and eaten some snacks, I will go and call the mother-in-law to come." Xiaohua was talking as he dragged Yan Ling to get up.

"Got it, got it...... I'm up, don't pull me...... Small, better than ...... I'm in a hurry. Yan Ling twisted and pinched, quite embarrassed.

Xiaoyu smiled, gave Yan Ling a blessing, and turned around to go to the Tan Mansion Hall to report to the old man.

It turns out that this "open noodles" is one of the ancient wedding ceremonies for brides, especially in the Jiangnan area.

The day before the bride's wedding, a virtuous woman with a complete family must be selected to come to the house, first rub some "open flour" on the forehead and cheeks, around the eyebrows, and on the upper and lower lips and chin of the bride, and then take out the double-strand cotton thread prepared in advance, pull it into a clip shape, and twist it repeatedly on the forehead, cheeks, lips and chin and other hairy parts until the hair is clean.

After such an "opening", the bride's sideburns are neat, the lines are clear, the eyebrows are curved like the moon, and the lips and forehead are smooth and white, which suddenly adds a bit of beauty. After the "opening", it means that the age of a bride's virgin/woman is over, and she will become a married woman from now on.

After Yan Ling finished washing up and eating some snacks, Xiaohua went to invite the mother-in-law to come over.

Not long after, Xiaohua and another maid cautiously walked into the bedroom, holding a pot of evergreen wrapped in red paper in each hand, and placed them on Yan Ling's dressing table on the left and right.

Then Xiaoyu held a fragrant pendant in her hand and accompanied a woman who was still charming.

This woman is the mother-in-law of the open noodles, and the incense in Xiaoyu's hand is holding all kinds of tools for opening the noodles.

After everyone blessed each other, the mother-in-law asked Yan Ling to sit firmly in front of the dresser, and then slowly opened the incense, took out the "open flour", and rubbed it all over Yan Ling's face.

Yan Ling's heart was uneasy with the fifteen buckets, and she was stunned by the open flour as if she was getting goosebumps all over her body, and when the double-strand cotton thread was twisted on her face, she couldn't help but tremble, as if she was suffering a cruel punishment.

The mother-in-law comforted: "Miss Yan Ling, don't be nervous, it doesn't hurt...... My daughter's family has such a time, so it's good to relax. ”

"Well, I'm not nervous. Yan Ling whispered and slowly closed her eyes.

"Alas...... Miss Yan Ling is also very pitiful, I heard that you have no father and mother since you were a child, and now you are 'marrying through filial piety', and many etiquettes cannot be followed by the rules, but this rule is made for others to see, as long as you young couples respect the old and love the young, and love each other, you don't have to worry so much. ”

"Yan Ling knows, Yan Ling still doesn't understand many rules, I will do whatever my mother-in-law says. Yan Ling said obediently.

"Hmm...... No hurry...... Take your time, your mother-in-law will teach you how to get married, how to be a wife, if you don't dislike your mother-in-law's verbosity, it is about giving birth to a baby, and your mother-in-law will also tell you. The mother-in-law always spoke softly and unhurriedly.

When she heard the words "little baby", Yan Ling couldn't help but feel a warm tremor in her heart: "Yan Ling listens to her mother-in-law for everything." ”

Looking at Yan Ling's well-behaved and obedient appearance, Xiaohua couldn't help but cover his mouth and snicker, and said secretly: I usually have frizz, but this time I am finally honest!

Xiaoyu stood next to her, smiling and helping her mother-in-law to help.

When it was almost noon, Yan Ling had already opened the noodles.

The mother-in-law put down the double-strand cotton thread, dipped the cotton towel in water, slowly wiped Yan Ling's face and said, "Miss Yan Ling, you can open your eyes and take a good look at yourself." ”

Hearing this, Yan Ling quietly opened her eyes and looked at herself in the dressing mirror shyly, sure enough, her cheeks were white and moist, her sideburns were neat and tidy, her eyebrows were aligned, her eyes were bright, and her lips were red.

Xiaohua came up and said, "Hey, Miss, you really look like a painting, the eldest prince must like it very much when he sees it." ”
