Chapter 17: The Night of Candles in the Cave Room

A month later, Qin Beiyang and Ah You held a wedding.

They did not choose the auspicious day of the zodiac as usual, but chose the day when the reconstruction of the Hall of Glory was completed.

"Tomb Beast Hunter" Lao Jin completed the main hall project brilliantly and on time. Qin Beiyang proposed to rename the "Hall of Glory" for transshipment. The Hall of Glory in Tianjing is the palace of the fallen country, and the Hall of Glory on Taibai Mountain has also suffered two military disasters.

After thinking about it, Qin Beiyang circled an ancient and fashionable name - "Gewu Zhizhi Palace".

Zhu Xi said: "Ge, Zhiye." Things, Judah also. Push to the reason of things, and want to be everywhere. ”

Taibai Mountain is lit up with lights, and the word double happiness is pasted everywhere. Twelve years ago, after the Great Tribulation, there has never been such a celebratory scene.

On this day, the suspension bridge at the top of the mountain was lowered, and there was an endless stream of guests who came to eat and drink. After the defeat of the war, the descendants of the Kingdom of Heaven were reduced to indentured slavery, sold to Peru to dig guano and saltpeter, participated in the South American Pacific War, and helped the Republic of Chile occupy the strategic Atacama Desert. They offered the golden masks of the Inca Empire, the treasures extorted by the Spanish conquistador Francisco Pizarro 400 years ago after kidnapping Atahualpa, the last emperor of the Incas.

The descendants of the Kingdom of Heaven, who fled to the South Seas to establish the Borneo Company, offered tobacco, natural rubber, cinchona, nutmeg and other specialties.

The descendants of the Kingdom of Heaven who took refuge in San Francisco, USA, sent Edison's movie cameras and projectors, leaving a precious image record of this heavenly wedding.

In addition to the Celestial Descendants, there are also representatives of the Assassin League from all over the world. At the top of Taibai Mountain, like the Versailles Peace Conference, there are races of different colors - Arabs in white turbans, French anarchists in suits and leather shoes, dark-skinned Indian independence activists, and Irish nationalists red-blooded...... There were also two Asians, one small-eyed and one skinny, revolutionaries from Korea and Vietnam, who specialized in assassinating Japanese and French colonial officials.

They came to worship the Assassin shrine of the East, Taibai Mountain, comparable to the Heavenly Garden of Assasin, which was destroyed six hundred years ago, and to congratulate the heir of Assasin on tying the knot with the princess of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom.

Michael, America's first assassin, has recovered. He was a celebrity in the League of Assassins, and many people knew the face of a black magician. He became the celebrant and interpreter of the wedding, constantly introducing the Assassin delegates to each other, as if it were a Manhattan reception.

Unintentionally planted willows and willows, now the assassins on the five continents know the name of "China ch'in pei yang".

"China's Qin Beiyang" is draped in long black hair, and he is a "long-haired thief". Still plain in the attire of a craftsman, with even patched trousers, he sat on the throne of the "Great Hall of Knowledge" and was crowned the supreme leader of the League of Assassins.

Although, he is only the nominal "leader", and he can't command the assassins of all countries at all, except for Taibai Mountain.

Ah You had not yet changed into the red dress of the bride, but was dressed in the black suit of the assassination operation, opened the Arabian treasure box decorated with diamonds, took out the golden dagger of Assasin, and respectfully handed it to Qin Beiyang.

In the eyes of the representatives of the Assassin League, Qin Beiyang raised his golden dagger, attracting cheers and whistles from everyone. The Assassins unveiled their blades and guns in celebration by firing their guns in the square in front of the "Great Hall of Knowledge".

Eight hundred years ago, the golden dagger worn by Huo Shan, an old man in the mountains, symbolized the inheritance of the Assassins' Creed.

The guests gathered, the congratulatory gifts were received, and the wedding of Qin Beiyang and A You began. According to the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom's "Heavenly Dynasty Tianmu System", "the marriage of the world does not care about wealth", "the cost of weddings and weddings is "all used in the treasury", and "no more money is used". Men and women must be voluntary, and arranged marriages are strictly prohibited, and all bad habits that still harm Chinese youth, such as dowry, are strictly prohibited.

Qin Beiyang changed into a yellow satin coat, wore a Taiping Heavenly Kingdom horn hat, and his long hair hung down his ears to his chest. Ah You changed into a red round-necked robe, the hem was above the knee, and the placket was on the left side, shaped like a shroud...... The first time I saw her put on makeup, her face was covered with rouge and gouache, and she said that she was the master of the Taibai Mountain Assassin Order, and finally became Qin Beiyang's little wife.

During the banquet, the nine colors of the town's tomb beast are indispensable, and it is also dressed in red and hung colors, sitting in a precarious position, like the man's family.

The wedding of the Kingdom of Heaven is quite simple, and there is no cumbersome etiquette of worshipping heaven and earth, worshipping the high hall twice, and worshipping husband and wife, breaking the tradition since the Ming and Qing dynasties.

The bride and groom both had their parents dead, so the eldest Meng Po replaced both parents.

Meng Po also exercised the role of a priest similar to that of Westerners, speaking in a Cantonese accent: "The beautiful scenery of a good day is witnessed by the Heavenly Father!" Ladies and gentlemen, if you understand the reasons for the failure of this marriage, please keep silent forever despite your words. ”

Meng Po: "Qin Beiyang, are you willing to marry Hong Tianyou as your wife?" ”

Qin Beiyang: "I do." ”

Meng Po: "Whether your wife is rich or poor; Whether you are healthy or sick, you will never leave it? ”

Qin Beiyang: "Don't leave and never give up." ”

Meng Po: "Hong Tianyou, are you willing to marry Qin Beiyang as your wife?" ”

Ayu: "I do. ”

Meng Po: "Whether you are rich or poor; Whether you are healthy or sick, you will never leave it? ”

Ah You: "Don't leave or give up." ”

Meng Po joined the hands of the newlyweds together and said loudly: "In the name of the Holy Father, the Holy Son, and the Holy Spirit, I declare that Qin Beiyang and Hong Tianyou are married!" ”

The Western Assassins who watched the ceremony were amazed at the holiness and nobility of the ceremony, and expressed great regret that they did not kiss each other.

At the end of the wedding, Meng Po issued a marriage certificate to the bride and groom - the unique "Hehui" of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom. "He" means union, and "wave" is the meaning of Cantonese proof. The Taiping Heavenly Kingdom stipulated that if anyone did not hold a joint wave and brought a female dependent, he would be punished with capital punishment for rape. "Hewao" is in duplicate, the middle is covered with a dragon and phoenix seal, and the left half is kept by the Heavenly Mansion; The right half is kept by the bride and groom. This is the earliest marriage certificate in human history, earlier than Western countries, and can be called a major innovation of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom.

As for Qin Beiyang and Ah You's "joint wave", three columns of characters are neatly written - the Western King's Political Division

Qin Beiyang was twenty-one years old, and he was a native of Shuntianfu in Zhili Province

Hong Tianyou is eighteen years old, and is a native of Guangzhou Mansion, Guangdong Province

After reading the five words "Xiwang Parliamentary Division" written by Meng Po, Qin Beiyang wanted to ask a few more questions, but it was inappropriate for too many people at the wedding, so he hid his questions in his heart.

The wedding dinner was a basket of kiwi fruit and a pot of nectar water. This most important wedding in the kingdom of heaven, there is neither blowing and blowing, nor a singing troupe, nor a wandering artist, it is even lighter than a funeral in the countryside!

This is also a change of customs, a reaction against the bad habits of Chinese people who make big weddings and lavish banquets.

There is only one exception - the black magician Michael once again performed the "Great Transformation of the Living", and the young Zhongshan hid in an iron cage, and what he turned out was the town tomb beast Nine Colors disguised as the South American mythical beast "Wild Horse". The Assassins from all over the world were fascinated by the fact that this time it was really magic, not assassination under the pretense of magic.

After the ceremony, the bride and groom enter the cave room.

Nine colors took off the disguise of the mythical beast big alpaca, reverted to the young Qilin Town tomb beast, and squatted outside the door to protect the couple.

The "cave house" lives up to its name, and it is located in the mountain cliff cave. The furnishings are also quite simple, with new quilts and pillows on the big bed, and a few red candles are bright. The barbaric customs of the cave house are strictly forbidden by heaven, and once discovered, they will be killed immediately, and there will be no forgiveness!

Ah You took off her red wedding dress, took off her red makeup, spread her long hair, got into the quilt, and waited for the groom.

I didn't see any movement for a long time, but I only heard Qin Beiyang's voice in the corner of the cave room - "When the Bodhisattva of Contemplation is at ease, when he walks in the deep Prajnaparamita, he sees that the five aggregates are empty, and he overcomes all suffering......

Ah You's heart is drumming, what's the situation? On the night of the candles in the cave room, the first of the four happy events in life, Qin Beiyang actually recited Buddhist scriptures? This is to see through the red dust and become a monk, isn't it?

It turned out that he remembered the White Russian beauty who died in the Mogao Grottoes in Dunhuang - Katerina Andreevna Wolfna. Qin Beiyang is a man with affection and righteousness, how could he forget Katya's kindness to him? He recited a piece of the Prajnaparamita Heart Sutra for her and prayed for an early death.

After chanting, Qin Beiyang lifted the curtain on the bed, and lay beside Ah You with his hands and feet, forgetting to take off his clothes.

"Brother, are you really stupid? Or pretending to be stupid? ”

Ah You grinned, charming, untied his clothes, and helped Qin Beiyang take off his shirt, exposing his sweaty pectoralis major and biceps.

Under the bright candlelight, the slender girl, the jade body is horizontal, and the two are entangled, needless to say...... Although it was not Qin Beiyang's first time, his face was still red, and his forehead was covered with beads of sweat. In my heart, I silently recited Yuan Zhen's "Thirty Rhymes of Huizhen Poems", describing the joy of clouds and rain between Zhang Sheng and Cui Yingying in the Pufu Temple - turning to the flowers and snow, and boarding the bed to hug the cong. Mandarin duck neck dance, jade acacia cage. The eyebrows are shy and shy frequently, and the lips are warmer.

The air is clear and the orchid is rich, and the skin is moisturized and the jade skin is abundant. Unable to move his wrist lazily, he loves to bow down. Sweat beads are dotted, and the hair is messy and green.

Fang Xi millennium meeting, Russia heard that he was poor for five nights. The time to stay is limited, and it is difficult to end the relationship. The slow face is sorrowful, and the words are sincere.

The gift ring is met, and the knot is the same. Crying powder and clearing the mirror, the residual light surrounds the dark insects. The glory is still rising, and the rising sun is getting brighter.

The candle flame gradually went out, the window was extraordinary, the sky seemed to have dawned, and the sea of clouds on Taibai Mountain was shining with golden light again...... Qin Beiyang and Ah You's cave room spent a candle night, and the mandarin ducks had a whole night! A young boy and girl who is in full swing, with a body foundation beyond ordinary people.

Ah Yu put her arms around her groom, and fell into a deep sleep with weariness, making an even breathing sound. Qin Beiyang got up quietly, tucked the quilt for the bride, put on his usual craftsman's clothes, blew out the candles, and silently exited the cave room.

Jiu Color, who had been guarding the door for a night, flashed his glass-colored eyes, as if to say: The groom, you don't want a bride, but you want me, what do you mean?

Hush!

He walked out of the cave with the nine colors. It was dawn and the guests who came to the wedding were still asleep. Walk out of the main hall and Chaotianmen, pass through the top of Taibai Mountain, bypass the silent sea of the uncle, climb the cold and windy west peak, and skillfully find the entrance of the tomb.

Qin Beiyang stepped into the tomb again, and then he felt refreshed, cool and comfortable. These days, the cancer cells in the chest are burning again, if you can't find a mausoleum to get into, I'm afraid that the happy event will have to be done before the funeral is done.

After passing through the entrance of the mausoleum of King Hong Xiuquan, he entered the colosseum of the tomb beast and came to the underground palace of the mausoleum of Qin Shi Huang. The merman fire rose again, reaching the yellow intestine inscription in the center of the underground palace, but it was wrapped in a Tang Dynasty coffin.

The youngest grandson of Tang Gaozong Li Zhi and Empress Wu Zetian, the sixth son of Tang Ruizong Li Dan, and Li Longqi, the king of Zhongnan County.

Tonight, the bridegroom will not dare to burrow into the coffin again, lest he bring in the air and humidity outside. In the labyrinth of countless yellow-hearted cypresses, Qin Beiyang lay down on the spot, leaning on the coffin board of 1,200 years ago, before closing his eyes with peace of mind.

Heaven and earth palace, Tang Dynasty coffin, maybe long sleep, maybe rest, this is the night of the cave room in Qin Beiyang......
