Chapter 17: The Marriage of the Wooden Tiger

The morning sun is always so soft and lovely.

The faint golden glow is like fireflies in the wind, quietly refracted into every corner of the town, sending warmth and hope to every family.

Knock knock knock......

A weak-crowned young man wearing a red wedding cloth runs all the way down the town's avenue.

With a simple smile on his face, he held a red yellow gong in one hand and a short red rod in the other, constantly striking the gong, and the sound of the gong expelled the silence of dawn without a trace.

Some families on both sides of the avenue were attracted by the sound of gongs and opened their courtyard doors and walked out into the street to find out.

After seeing that the person who struck the gong was Wang Li, who lived in the west of the village, some elderly Mrs. Fengyun joked one after another.

"Wang Li, you stupid boy doesn't hide at home early in the morning and sleep well, and you make a lot of fun with a happy gong. ”

"Isn't your child being looked at by a girl from a family, and is ready to find someone to talk about matchmaking. ”

......

The weak-crowned young man's face turned red when everyone said it.

He stopped halfway down the road, stopped beating the gong, and said aloud.

"Ladies and gentlemen, today is the big day of Uncle Muhu and Aunt Mingli, and the boy is entrusted by Uncle Muhu to inform the other uncles and brothers in the town. ”

"Muhu wants to marry Mingli, which is a good thing. ”

Mingli's husband left early, and if it weren't for the secret help of the three Muhu brothers, she and her daughter, who was less than five years old, would have starved to death on the streets. ”

"The wooden head of the wooden tiger is finally enlightened, Mingli is gentle and gentle, this kid can marry her, which is considered a blessing that he cultivated in his previous life. ”

"Quick, don't talk about it, Muhu's parents left early. Let's hurry up and pack our things and go to Muhu's wedding. ”

"I heard that his two brothers also left the town two days ago, and marrying is a major life event, and we all have to go and have a good time."

......

Several charming women who opened the door and made fun of the weak-crowned young man quickly closed the courtyard door and turned back into the house, preparing to pack up their things and go to the west of the village to attend Muhu's wedding.

Knock knock knock......

The weak-crowned teenager didn't stay too long.

After everyone closed the door, he lifted the gong, struck it all the way, and continued to run towards the east of the town.

"Uncle Yuming, Uncle Muhu sent me to report the good news to you. ”

"Aunt Zhang, my mother is the matchmaker, today is the big day of Uncle Muhu and Aunt Mingli, you are always an old matchmaker in the town, but you must go to congratulate you."

......

When the sun gradually climbed overhead, the news of Muhu's wedding was also transmitted to every household in the town with a series of gongs.

"It's finally over!"

Wang Li was tired and sweaty, he put the gong aside, squatted on a stone bench and gasped for breath.

Two days ago, Mu Hu found his mother and wanted his mother to be the matchmaker and marry a widow nearly 100 meters away from his house, Mingli.

Marriage is one of the four joyful events in life, and it is also a good thing to accumulate virtue to be able to promote a couple to tie the knot.

Wang Li's mother didn't think about it, so she agreed, and after discussing with Mu Hu, she set a big wedding in two days.

This is the scene where Wang Li carried the gong and came to inform the other villagers in the town.

Time flies, and in an instant, the sun has climbed to the top of Wang Li's head.

Today's sunlight is extraordinarily bright, and the gentle light gently beats the earth like the jade hand of a twenty-eight girl.

The small courtyard of Muhu's family is located in a vacant lot directly west of the ethereal town.

The small courtyard is not large, ten zhang long and eight zhang wide, and there is a blue-gray wooden house in the north, east and west directions of the courtyard.

At this moment, Muhu's small courtyard is full of red lanterns, and the walls and window lattices of each wooden house are also covered with big red characters.

In the open space of the courtyard, there are more than a dozen square tables, each of which is filled with villagers from all directions of the town.

They were all villagers of the town who were invited by Wang Li to come over.

"Hahaha...... Uncle Muhu, you are really fast, the kid was about to come to the door to propose, but unexpectedly you took the first step. ”

A fat young man with a large black beard under his chin quipped.

Mu Hu was wearing a big red robe, his face was constantly smiling, and after he heard this, he was not angry, but smiled more cheerfully, and said.

"Who let this guy stay at home all day and stay closed, your size is about to catch up with the old man!"

"Wang Dazhu, what are you talking nonsense about! Hurry up and give the old lady down. ”

A Fengyun woman who was nearly half a hundred years old walked from the wooden house directly north of the courtyard.

She walked up to the young man, reached out and grabbed the latter's ear, and let the latter grin in pain, and did not let go.

"Mother, let go, in front of so many people, you have to save some face for me. ”

Although the young man was begging for mercy, he couldn't stop smiling brightly.

The Fengyun woman did not have the slightest intention of stopping, her face deliberately showed a trace of sternness, and scolded:

"Today is the big day of the Muhu brothers, if you dare to make trouble here, the old lady will definitely pull your ass out of the flower when she goes back. ”

"Hahaha......"

"Dazhu, it, you just let this kid go. ”

"Dazhu, if you kid eat like this, sooner or later you will be stewed into a pot of broth by your father as a beast."

Other villagers sitting in the small courtyard joked.

Wang Dazhu is twenty-five this year, and he is idle all day long, and he has no skills to learn.

He was a laid-back man by nature, not as brave as the other young men in the town, or sleeping at home or playing back and forth in the town, never asking about his livelihood.

He was the only one in the entire ethereal town, and the others who were much younger than him, such as "Wang Li", had to start hunting in the mountains with everyone.

A rich man is a coquettish son, and Wang Dazhu's father is the mayor of the ethereal town - Wang Chun.

Wang Chunsheng is burly and powerful, his muscles and flesh are as strong as a dragon, he is proficient in the art of body refining, and what he cultivates is a body alchemy technique called "Crouching Tiger Jue".

Since he was a child, he has reached the late stage of the body refining realm in terms of body refining.

Most of the other villagers in the town worship him as a teacher and learn the art of body refining from him, so many people will pay him a "bundle" as a worship ceremony.

Along with Mu Hu, all the villagers in the town who were practicing the art of physical cultivation were well aware of the importance of exercising their physique.

Crouching Tiger is divided into sitting plate type, flying hand type, throwing air type, and leaping type...... The power of each of the four major moves is different depending on the cultivation time.

By practicing secular martial arts, secular civilians temper their physical bodies to create a force of copper tendons and iron bones, and those who have achieved great success in the realm can open up the two veins of Ren Du and open the treasures of the human body.

This realm can be roughly divided into three layers, namely the copper skin realm, the viscera realm, and the muscles and bones realm.

As the cultivation time increases, the muscles and bones of some ordinary civilians who practice body refining techniques will become very hard.

Gradually, their skin will become as charred as gold, which is called the copper skin. After reaching this level, even the minions of ordinary beasts could not easily cut through their skin.

The alchemy technique must be practiced day and night, and after the skin on the surface of the muscles and flesh of the whole body turns red, their heart, liver, spleen, lungs, and kidneys will gradually become very strong.

According to the importance and fragility of the five internal organs, martial artists in the body refining realm will be the first to temper the "kidney", and the kidney has the strongest bearing capacity and is not easy to be damaged.

Today, there are some people in the town who have begun to refine the five internal organs, but most of them are staying in the copper skin realm.

Heaven and earth have avenues, and the wheel of life has cause and effect.

Not everyone has the conditions to practice alchemy, and Wang Dazhu is one of them.

Wang Chun has cultivated to the "Muscle and Bone Realm", and one step further is the legendary Innate Realm.

As early as the moment Wang Dazhu was born, he concluded through the method of touching the bones and recognizing people that the former would never become a person who practiced martial arts.

Under the refraction of the sunlight, the small courtyard of Muhu is extremely bright, and almost every corner can be illuminated by the sun.

"Folks, you can drink as much as you like here, I can't drink enough, so I have to retire first. ”

At the banquet in the small courtyard, Mu Hu drank all the wine in his hand, and the wine glass was turned downward, indicating that the wine had been drunk.

Then, with a bright smile on his face, he kept bowing to everyone, his feet one left and one right, his figure staggered out of the banquet, and walked quietly towards a grass pile in the northeast of the courtyard.

The haystack is very large, located in a corner between the two wooden houses due east and north, and the location is very private, and most people do not come here deliberately.

"I hope the two beasts don't make a sound. ”

After Mu Hu dodged into the corner, the drunkenness on his face swept away, and a pair of tiger eyes shone with fine light, and his face was very solemn.

He took a tiger step, tiptoeing lightly, not daring to make any sound, and quietly walked towards the left side of the pile.

Rustle rustle......

There was a faint sound of sand coming from inside the wooden pile, the sound was very soft, but falling on the ears of the wooden tiger was tantamount to thunder.

He leaned down, gently brushed open a layer of weeds with both hands, and looked down inside.

It was very dark inside the wooden pile, and as soon as he poked his head down, he saw two pairs of beast eyes as bright as cold stars, and down the beast's eyes was a blue-gray swaddling cloth.

There was a faint golden halo flickering inside the swaddling clothes, the light was very faint, but it allowed Mu Hu to clearly see the face of "Xuanfeng".

The owner of the two pairs of beast eyes was naturally the black cheetah and the tiger cub that the wooden tiger had extorted from the ghost spirit monk.

The two spirit beasts each lay prone in the grass, one left and one right, protecting Xuanfeng in the middle, their eyes like electricity, and they stared at the wooden tiger directly.

"You two are spirit beasts, if you also want to protect Xuan Feng's life, please don't make any noise. ”

The wooden tiger didn't care whether they could understand him or not, and as soon as the words fell, he covered up the haystack again, and walked quickly towards the wooden house due north.
