Chapter 250: The Uncrowned City
In the Uncrowned City, the clan land of the Soul Clan Emperor does not need to be deliberately inquired to know.
Obsidian Mountain, the clan land of the Soul Clan. That's right, this place is where the foundation of the Soul Clan's Emperor Clan lies, and the City Lord's Mansion in the Uncrowned City is just their office.
The Central Continent is no different from other continents, there is no kingdom here, only the City Lord's Mansion. The lord of the castle manages the affairs of the city and its surroundings, so it can be said that the lord of the castle is the supreme ruler of the uncrowned city.
The city lord is also divided into large and small, among which the first-level city lord is the largest, followed by the second, third, fourth, and so on. The city lord of the uncrowned city is the first-level city lord, and the size of his position has little to do with cultivation.
This year's uncrowned city lord is Soul Tianhua, although this person only has the cultivation of the late Mahayana stage, but he represents the Soul Clan Emperor, so even if the masters of the Tribulation Period of other clans meet, they have to give face, otherwise they need to consider whether the anger of the Soul Clan Emperor can withstand it.
Almost all the disciples of the Soul Clan above the Yuan Infant Stage must go out to practice, and only when they reach the Mahayana period can they return to Obsidian Mountain to receive the baptism of inheritance, so Duoduo and his party do not need to go to Obsidian Mountain to rescue Hong Mian.
For ordinary people, the City Lord's Mansion of the Uncrowned City is not a place where ordinary people can enter if they want to, all the guards here are basically masters above the Cave Void Period, and most of the generals at all levels who are also officials are masters of the Mahayana Period, so that the City Lord's Mansion is also a very tight place.
At this time, almost everyone in the uncrowned city knew that Soul You was going to marry a Hong Mian girl, but according to the clan rules, Soul You could not hold a wedding hastily, otherwise he would lose the majesty of the imperial family.
The descendants of the Soul Clan's imperial family, the wedding process is extremely cumbersome, in order to prepare for the wedding, it takes as little as a year and a half, and as long as ten years. Originally, Soul You only wanted to take Hongmian as a partial room, but the elders of the Soul Clan felt that Hongmian had other use value, so he let Soul You Nahongmian be the main room, so that the wedding preparation time would take at least more than a year.
There are three basic etiquettes that a Soul Clan's disciples need to do before they get married:
First, to tell the ancestors of the soul clan to retreat for half a year before the ancestors' spiritual platform, showing piety;
Second, the fountain of purification is washed for a month to show the purity of the room of the wife;
Third, drink the water of soul purification to show loyalty to the wife of the wife.
Of these three things, the first one took half a year, so the vast majority of Soul Clan disciples were unwilling to marry the main wife. As for the second thing, rinsing in the Pure Body Fountain for a month, its intention is to test whether the disciple really likes the woman he marries, if he can't insist, even if he marries into the Soul Clan Emperor Clan, the heir of this woman will not be fully cultivated by the family.
After all, although the Soul Clan Emperor Clan has a great cause, it can't withstand the squandering of the family's disciples, and in the long run, it will naturally lose the family's resources.
The third etiquette is to drink the water of soul purification, which is also a test of whether the disciples of the soul clan really like the woman they marry, but the angle of the test is the soul.
Eight months have passed since the three basic rituals have passed, and then the soul can prepare for the rest of the wedding.
The marriage of the disciples of the Soul Clan cannot be without pomp, no matter the layout of the venue or the level of the banquet, they must go through strict preparations, otherwise they will be laughed at by other emperors.
At this time, Hong Mian was confined to a courtyard in the City Lord's Mansion, and a large sealing array had been laid on this courtyard, and it was impossible for her to escape.
"Miss, please eat!" cried out a maid outside the door.
"I don't eat, I don't eat! How many more times do I have to tell you?" Hong Mian's voice came from the room. At this time, she has been on hunger strike for more than half a year, and if she does not eat, although she will not die, she will be hungry and thin.
"Miss, if you don't eat, we will be punished by the child, please don't embarrass us!" another maid reminded.
"I said it, even if you die, you won't eat a bite of food from the soul family! What do you have to do with me?" Hong Mian himself is difficult to protect, and he naturally has no good impression of the maid of the soul clan.
It's just that these maids are also poor people, they are not from the Soul Family, but bought from outside. Every year, I don't know how many maids are tortured to death by the disciples of the soul clan because of their unfavorable work, so their experience is no better than Hong Mian.
"Miss, we know that you hate the people of the Soul Clan, and we hate it too, but what can we do? Compared to Miss, our lives are more miserable, since we are all miserable people, why do you bother us?"
"Yes, Miss, we are all maids bought by the Soul Clan's Imperial Clan, we are fortunate to take care of Miss This is fate, if Miss thinks we are not doing well, you can ask for a change. It's just that if you don't eat or drink like this, we will definitely be punished next!"
The two maids said a word, but in the end they couldn't let Hong Mian open the door.
Hong Mian was silent, and the two maids didn't dare to leave, and the three of them were in such a stalemate.
Not long after, Soul You arrived, and when he saw that the two maids were cold with their meals, he said angrily: "Two useless things, get out of here!"
"Yes, Childe!" the two maids hurried away, and what happened next was not something they could stop.
After the two maids left, Soul You used his spiritual power, and then brute force to open the door of Hong Mian's room.
"Hong Mian, you will be my woman in a few months, no matter what, why do you torture yourself?" said Soul You patiently.
"Soul You, you will die of this heart, even if I die, I will not marry you!" Hong Mian said coldly. At this time, she already wanted to die, in her opinion, after so long, if Gu Feng thought of a way, he should have come to save her a long time ago, but the other party did not appear for a long time, there are only two possibilities, the other party gave up on her, or the Gu clan emperor gave up on her.
Soul You smiled and said, "Hong Mian, are you unwilling to marry me, is it for the sake of that Gu Feng? Haha, let me tell you the truth, it is said that that Gu Feng was placed under house arrest by the family, and now he is still thinking about it! Do you think he will come to save you? Don't be delusional." ”
"Even if Gu Feng doesn't come to save me, I will never marry you!" After speaking, Hong Mian stopped speaking, and at this time she understood that she had misunderstood Gu Feng.
Soul You came to the other party, and suddenly reached out to touch the other party's cheek, Hong Mian twisted his head, avoiding the other party's harassment.
It's just that she quickly angered Soul You by doing this, and Soul You saw that the other party didn't know how to lift, so he suddenly reached out and pinched the other party's neck, making it difficult for Hong Mian to breathe.
"It seems that you are toasting and not eating and drinking! You care so much about the ancient style, then I will break your virgin body today, see what the ancient wind can do to me?" and then the soul you pushed hard, pushing Hong Mian onto the bed.
Hong Mian's spiritual power was sealed, and she was not Soul You's opponent at all, of course, even if she wasn't sealed with her spiritual power, she was not Soul You's opponent. The two of them are in the early stage of a hole and the middle stage of a hole in the middle stage, which is not a level at all.
Soul You let go of Hong Mian, at this time she was breathing very quickly, and when she saw Soul You pounce, she couldn't dodge at all.
Just when Hong Mian thought that his chastity was not guaranteed, suddenly a voice sounded outside the door.
"Young Master, Madame has arrived! ”
Soul You yelled, "Get out!"
The maid did not dare to say more, and then left quickly.
Seeing that his mother had arrived, it was impossible for him to "do things", so he said coldly to Hong Mian: "Let you reflect on it for a while, and on the day of marriage, see who can protect you!"
After speaking, Soul You left the room and asked the maid to continue to strictly guard Hong Mian, and there must be no mistakes. How dare the two maids slack off, and immediately promised not to let Hong Mian do anything out of the ordinary.
Soon Soul You came to the reception hall, and his mother He Lan waited for a long time with two maids.
"Meet Mother, why do you have time to come here?" asked Soul You after kneeling.
"You'er, I'm asking you for my mother, how is the marriage going?" Helan, like all mothers in the world, is very concerned about her child's marriage, and when she saw that the wedding date was approaching, she was a little uneasy, so she came from Obsidian Mountain to inquire in person.
"Let the mother worry, the child has been preparing for the wedding in an orderly manner these days, and I believe that the wedding will be done properly in a short time. ”
"Hehe, you know how to make your mother happy. You don't know what kind of temperament you have, if you have any difficulties, just say, if you can't separate, I'll ask your brother to come over and help you. ”
"Don't, don't bother my brother, he is preparing for the catastrophe, if my marriage delays my brother, I am really uneasy as a younger brother. ”
"Can you really handle it?"
"It's done, my mother doesn't believe me, but I can't help but believe Uncle Wang! With him helping me, this wedding will definitely be done properly." ”
"I am naturally relieved that your Uncle Wang is doing things, okay, since you have said so, I will rest assured for my mother, I will go to see the daughter-in-law who has not passed the door, I heard that she is very stubborn, you go and get busy!"
Then Helan got up and left with the two maids, and Soul You breathed a sigh of relief, facing his mother, he didn't dare to be disobedient.
Now that it is impossible to go to Hongmian again, Soul You thinks about it or goes to Uncle Wang.
Uncle Wang's full name is Wang Zhong, and he is his father's sworn brother of the opposite sex, and the two met many years ago on an expedition in the Northern Abyss. It is said that his father's soul medicine was in distress during the expedition, but fortunately Wang Zhong passed by and rescued the other party. In order to be grateful to Wang Zhong, the soul medicine hired the other party to be his guard, but Wang Zhong was unwilling, his ambition was too great to be an ordinary guard.
The soul medicine saw that the other party was somewhat similar to his temperament, so he proposed to become brothers of the opposite sex, this time Wang Zhong did not refuse, and later the two went out of the abyss of the North Underworld, Wang Zhong stayed by the soul medicine side to do things, and his status was much higher than that of the guard.
Soul You found Wang Zhong, and at this time, the other party was instructing his subordinates to procure various materials for the banquet.
"Uncle Wang, hard work!"
"Haha, for the sake of your kid's marriage, what is Uncle Wang's suffering? Besides, I can also get a lot of benefits. ”
"Uncle Wang is still shrewd, if you had been your father's guard, I'm afraid you wouldn't have so many benefits to take. ”
"Hehe, you kid can see this. Do you think Uncle Wang is such an aspiring person? Just being a guard, Uncle Wang can't afford to lose that person!"
"Uncle Wang, our marriage is almost done, right? My mother came to ask in person. ”
"It's almost there, it's almost there, and it's going to arrive soon." If you kid is too idle, you can go and help me keep an eye on it. ”
"Uncle Wang, I'm the groom's official, how can I do everything myself? I still have to recuperate, otherwise how can I maintain a strong body on the night of the candles in the cave room?"
"Hehe, you kid is like a monkey spirit, and you still maintain a strong physique, do you want to go to the Mandarin Duck Tower to find a girl, go and go! ”
Soul Blessing thanked him and left quickly. He hadn't been to Mandarin Duck Tower for a long time, and he couldn't wait at this time.
Seeing the other party leaving, Wang Zhong continued to instruct his subordinates to buy the seafood.
