Chapter VII. wedding
When I arrived at Situ's house, although Hu Zongren was in good health, I asked him, and he said that he still felt a little weak, in short, he just couldn't lift his spirits. So Sister Cai and Fu Yunni went to the kitchen to help Master Tie Songzi prepare the meal, while Situ and I sat in the living room and talked with Hu Zongren to discuss what to do next.
Hu Zongren, who always had his mobile phone in his hand, told us that he had been waiting for someone from the Xuanyuan Society to call. I asked him why he didn't call himself? Hu Zongren shook his head and said, I won't fight, I'll wait for them to come to me. Hu Zongren is a stubborn person, and when he is angry, it must be useless for anyone to persuade him. So Situ and I didn't try to persuade him, although I didn't think it was a good idea to take the initiative to call. Situ asked Hu Zongren to show me his wrist, and Hu Zongren lifted his sleeve and exposed his arm. The previous black handprint has almost disappeared, leaving only a very faint mark, Hu Zongren said, this mark was not so faint yesterday, when I got up this morning, I found that it was almost invisible, and it is estimated that it will disappear completely tomorrow. Situ nodded, we all know that if a ghost or a yin person is beaten to pieces, it will take a process to make it completely die. Since I came back from Granny Huang's place, Situ didn't say a word about me following the yin. Maybe it's because he knows in his heart that even if he asks me, I can't tell. After all, my memory was interrupted in those few hours. And I don't want to mention what Granny Huang said about me breaking up a yin person.
Usually when I talk about dispersal, I use some specific, more violent methods to drive away ghosts, make them powerless to fight, and eventually wear them out. This is often accompanied by spells and specific postures. That's why my master used to tell me in the early years that I should not disperse any ghosts until I had to, because they were already ghosts, and now they have nothing to lose except this form and energy. Since we have chosen to sympathize with the living, why don't we apply this sympathy to those ghosts in the same way? I remember that I once refuted this attitude of the master, and I felt that in the process of doing the Tao, our position is always human, so we have no reason to sympathize with some non-human things. The master did not give me a reasonable explanation for this, but punished me for copying books for a whole week, until I finally understood the truth of the equality of all beings. As for the yin man who was next to Hu Zongren's Yuan Shen when he walked into the yin this time, although I still can't fully believe that I did those things at the moment, it is not difficult to see from Granny Huang's mouth that I didn't have the slightest mercy at that time, nor did I use any spells, but just blindly killed people as if I was killing people, and beat it violently to the ground. To be honest, I regret it, but it was too late.
Situ obviously knew that I didn't want to mention this matter, so he didn't even ask. I am convinced that Situ has made the same mistakes as me in his life, so I can empathize with him, even though he never said it.
Situ asked Hu Zongren what he planned next. Hu Zongren said, I'll just wait for that guy's call, if he doesn't call, I can delay it for a day. I asked Hu Zongren why he wanted to drag it out, and Hu Zongren said, because I can't let that stupid woman worry anymore, otherwise I will be annoyed to death if I talk about me all day long. After speaking, he looked in the direction of the kitchen, but his expression was full of guilt. I suddenly realized that this is the end of the year, and in a few days, it will be the New Year of 2011, and the day of Hu Zongren's wedding is in those days.
Sure enough, Hu Zongren said, we will get married in a few days, and until then, I will live in peace. If there are any grievances, I'll talk about it after that time. Then Hu Zongren touched his chin and lips, both of which had some wounds because of the previous fight. He smiled and said, "I can't show this dignity in front of so many guests."
On that day, we didn't do anything else, but studied the problem of this bone again, and found that there was no result. Situ and I are both outsiders, even if I take the initiative to ask to be in it, Situ is always an irrelevant person, so we think that this pure copper bone is better to keep it here for the time being. But Situ also told us that after all, this thing is a sacred weapon of the White Lotus Sect, and he was rude to it, so he only kept it for the time being, and when the grievances are understood, this thing will still be returned to me and Hu Zongren. I said it's not our thing, what are you going to do with us, we won't use it. Situ shook his head and said, when the time comes, let you decide for yourself whether to dissolve or bury.
I understood what Situ meant, so I didn't go any further. After enjoying a beautiful meal at Situ's house that night, we went home separately and rested for a few days.
Hu Zongren's wedding was neither foreign nor earthy, it was said to be Western-style, because Fu Yunni still wore a beautiful wedding dress that day, and the wedding dress was still chosen by Sister Cai, and Sister Cai became his bridesmaid. I am naturally the best man, but Hu Zongren asked me not to dress too handsomely, otherwise I would steal the limelight from his groom. The guy was dressed in a small tuxedo, but with a pair of jeans and a pair of cloth shoes. And this was changed by himself without authorization, because during the rehearsal of the hotel the first night, Hu Zongren was still dressed quite formally. For this reason, Hu Zongren's explanation is that it must be a little unexpected, so as to leave a deep impression on the people present. Because many of the guests who came were considered to be people from Fu Qiang's former gang, Fu Qiang was thousands of miles away, and he would attend his daughter's wedding in the future, and as far as we are concerned, we also understand it very well, after all, Fu Qiang continued to ask for his way, and he was a monk. Therefore, many people here that day, although they had a grudge with me and Hu Zongren earlier, were applauding and congratulating at the moment, and became Fu Yunni's mother's family. Fu Yunni is a girl who is more miserable, first of all, her background is not good, at least worse than a few of us, marrying Hu Zongren can be regarded as finding a support for herself. Hu Zongren's wedding, except for the stupid things he occasionally said, and the time when he was crazy and stupid, was also bland. Granny Huang, as an elder, accepted Fu Yunni and Hu Zongren's tea ceremony, and Situ and Tie Songzi wrapped a very thick red envelope, but I felt that it was very vulgar to give money, but it was even more vulgar not to give it. So I asked a friend to cast a gold gadget instead of gift money and gave it to Hu Zongren, as for what was inside, I think he would understand it at a glance.
I was drunk that day, and when I played mahjong in the afternoon, I lost a mess because of a dizzy relationship. A few of the people at the same table with me happen to be the masters of the Brake Path. It's okay to do this, and it can be regarded as revenge for what happened in the first place. I don't have any memory after dinner, I only remember that the next morning I found that Hu Zongren and Fu Yunni occupied my bed and Sister Cai, and we slept in the guest room pitifully for a night, when I asked what happened last night, Sister Cai said that the two of you were drunk, one slept on someone's stage, the other slept on someone's dinner table, Fu Yunni is about the same age, there is no way, I can only get you home. I said that you got the three of us back by yourself, you are really powerful, Sister Cai didn't answer, but stuck out her tongue very naughtily and smiled. I know that Hu Zongren's wedding that night made our group of people who have experienced a lot of emotions a lot, and we also know that today's stability is not easy to come by. From the look in her eyes, I knew that she had been looking forward to our own wedding from that moment on.
Hu Zongren slept until almost noon, when he woke up from my soft and smooth goose down sheets. Although he asked the same questions as me, the nervous man quickly ignored the nasty thing of sleeping at a friend's house the first night as a newlywed. Hu Zongren and I were both hungovers, so we ate in a daze, played video games, and then sent them out for a taxi home in the evening.
It is worth mentioning that after Hu Zongren and Fu Yunni returned to their house that night, Fu Yunni called Sister Cai and scolded Hu Zongren for being a brute. When Sister Cai asked what was going on, Fu Yunni said that the wedding had been done, and the two of them found out that they hadn't gone to get the certificate yet.
Three days later, Sister Cai and I went to Hu Zongren's house for dinner. Hu Zongren told me about his plan and decided to buy a house in Chongqing and settle down, but before that, he should settle all his grievances and grievances. So he told me that after this meal, we had to get back on with our errands. I asked him, was someone from the Xuanyuan Society finally calling? Hu Zongren said no, but it's our turn to take the initiative. Hu Zongren said impassionedly, and I was probably influenced by him, so I agreed to him. For this matter, Sister Cai and Fu Yunni both gave us the greatest understanding. Maybe it's because they know that they can't stop it, so they just repeatedly tell us to pay attention to safety.
Hu Zongren told me that in the past few days, he has found traces of the activities of the four White Lotus Sect guys, who have been staying in a small hotel near Daping, not far from Fotu Pass, and who are still living there after being violently beaten by me and Hu Zongren that night. Maybe it's still looking for traces of the pure copper bones. Hu Zongren told me that this is the only chance for us to launch a counteroffensive, and if we miss it, we may become very passive in the future. Let's leave tomorrow and go to the edge of their little inn.
I asked him puzzled, what's the use of you squatting, and I don't know where their nest is, and how do you know where the people are hiding? Hu Zongren said with a smile, do you remember that in the River Temple before, I beat that guy and then put a little ghost on him?
