Chapter 1: A Wedding
It was a grand wedding.
333 years in the kingdom calendar. The summer solstice is night, and the sky is full of stars. The occasional cicada chirped scattered among the rows of pavilions and pavilions in the royal capital, between the green spaces on both sides of the waterway and the street trees.
The Marquis of Qi Chun has jurisdiction over one state and three counties of the Daye Kingdom, and is a prominent figure in Shanglin, the royal capital.
Overlooking the mansion of the Marquis of Qi Chun from the air, you will see buildings as high as dozens of floors, with dragons' backs curved and intrigued.
Nowadays, the eaves of dozens of floors of buildings are hung with red lanterns, and with the blessing of some spells, you can see festive lights and fires within a radius of dozens of miles, as if it has become a landmark.
Today is the marriage between the Marquis of Qi Chun and the Great Sima who is in charge of the administration of Wang [***], although Yang Yun, the eldest nephew of the Marquis of Qi Chun, is only twenty-five years old, but he has repeatedly made military exploits, and he has long been a famous talent in the royal capital. And Dong Ning, the granddaughter of Da Sima, is slim and elegant. The two sides are matched, and Yemen is the right one.
This event has become a major event in the royal capital this year, and in the streets and alleys, everyone is dancing with their eyebrows and rumors of the grand wedding of the Marquis of Qichun's mansion. The incense cars and BMWs going to the mansion are endlessly lined with ten-mile long streets. The flying mounts that rushed to the mansion of the Marquis of Qi Chun were brilliant in the night sky.
In the lobby of the Qichunhou Mansion, hundreds of guests sit on the tea table, which is spectacular.
"People say that the Son of Heaven has no friends, the princes have no alliance, and my Qi Chunhou is a strange master, originally he had no friends and few friends, but now he is full of friends, and they all come to the house to congratulate, which is enough to comfort his life" A calm and loud voice slowly covered the audience, which seemed to be the host's emotional explanation, followed by some of the guests' return gifts, all of which said a variety of words of admiration for Qi Chunhou.
And because it was the marriage between the eldest grandson of the Marquis of Qi Chun and the eldest Sima Dong family, the topic naturally shifted to the younger generations.
"Classics and science, warlocks and warps, I have few characters since I waited for the door. However, the descendants of the disciples, if they can go further in the cultivation method, glorify their ancestors, and be able to enjoy their families when they are old", this mellow voice like the animal world of the central station, suddenly changed the topic and came towards him, "Yang Ze, your Uncle Zhuo knows that you have a colorful glass bottle that you are close to, this is your first spiritual treasure, you show Uncle Zhuo." ”
Uncle Zhuo.
Yang Ze scolded secretly, he had just arrived in this world, and he hadn't had time to clean up and calm down, at this time, that Uncle Zhuo let himself show what kind of spiritual treasure in front of his grandfather in this world, isn't this his own ugliness?
Yang Ze looked down at the black bronze wine bottle in his arms, dry and gray, what is this? Is this the so-called "colorful glass bottle"? Where is the color, and where is the glass?
There were some whispering voices around, "The Colorful Glass Bottle is said to be activated only when it reaches the sixth-grade level of the "Qi Sea Realm", yo, it seems that this kid from the Yang family has broken through." ”
There was an excited voice from a female voice, "Brother Yang has broken through the seventh rank, isn't he already promoted to the sixth rank?"
And then there's the dismiss, "Oh, he'll be able to get by?" ”
"Although the Qi Sea Realm is only the realm of the first glimpse of the path in cultivation, but this third grandson of the Yang family, who has always been famous for his mediocre talent, will have this breakthrough?"
"It's fake, isn't it a fake and shoddy spirit treasure, Qi Chunhou can't afford to lose the face of this third grandson, so he found a skilled spirit caster to fight a fake and real defective product?
There is also a virtuous and respectable old man who said with a smile, his eyes showing envy, "Hehe, this colorful glass bottle, if it is a wide range of spiritual treasures, although it can only be the best of the lower grades, although it is not a martial spirit treasure, but if you look at the efficiency of her alcohol when she enters the clear water, it is also worthy of a good treasure in life." It is said that the purer the true power, the more mellow the water and wine can be, but I don't know if it consumes too much real power?"
The audience paid attention, Yang Ze was very quiet, so the surroundings were doubly quiet. Old and young looked at him, and some young women looked at him with red lips and white teeth, and they also looked at him with a smile.
Lao Tzu crossed over, who knows how to use this thing, drag any of you to the modern day and let you use the microwave, will you?
Again, you looked at me, and I looked at you, and it took a long time.
Qi Chunhou snorted, and said with half-open eyes, "You can start." ”
Yang Ze gripped the gray copper bottle again, recalled some memory fragments of this body, and tried to capture a certain sense of qi in his body that could be vaguely perceived, this feeling was very subtle, and he finally felt that there were countless ants crawling under his fingers, faintly with some suction, but he didn't understand how to release this feeling after all, or solve the final yes
Beat the air.
The copper bottle in his hand did not shine as everyone expected, and it was clear that Yang Ze's expression was already using this thing.
First there was a small laugh, and then all kinds of rustling sounds, which soon swept through the lobby.
The man surnamed Zhuo, who had just proposed to see Yang Ze's performance, moved his triangular eyes slightly, and said, "It seems that the virtuous nephew still needs to practice more" Saying this, he couldn't help but smile.
Qi Chunhou had a disappointed and angry look on his face, he had heard the news from the palace that Yang Ze had broken through the Qi Sea and made him a little happy, up and down the kingdom, the cultivator is like a symbol of strength, and to a certain extent, it is also a manifestation of a country's strength. The cultivation of different realms is divided into nine grades. "Upper grade" is the first product for respect, "middle grade" is the fifth product for the boundary, and "lower grade" is the ninth product for the worst. Strict hierarchy.
Yang Ze may not be the most talented among the many descendants in the Hou Mansion, but as the third grandson of the Yang Mansion of the Marquis of Qichun, such a cultivation situation represents a loss of power and strength, and he is destined to be isolated from the core power of the Hou Mansion in the future.
Even if Yang Ze was destined to be unable to fully grasp the various family businesses of the Hou Mansion to advance to the core level, if he cultivated quickly, the ability he possessed was enough for him to gain a place. will not end up in the huge Yang Mansion.
Qi Chunhou just took the opportunity to give Yang Ze the opportunity to show his talents, at least to change his long-standing impression of not being able to make an inch, who knew that it was such a situation, his face was suddenly cloudy, if it was normal, he would definitely scold, "Lazy thing, as useless as your father!" But now that the guests are full, Qi Chunhou, no matter how angry he is in his heart, he has to take care of his face, wave his sleeves, and don't look at Yang Ze again.
Yang Ze sat back with a heavy ass. At this time, the big Sima Dong Jie in front of the stage swept towards him with a vague look, as if he remembered the impression that Yang Ze brought him today, and said with a smile, "I know that the marquis has a lot of treasures, but with my Ning'er and Yun'er being happy today, the little old man also has a clumsy product as a small gift, and I hope that the marquis will not postpone Xuan'er and offer his grandfather's gift." ”
As soon as the audience heard the name read out by Da Sima, the ears of many young talents immediately stood up, and their eyes lit up.
The woman who got up was about sixteen or seventeen years old, slightly immature but delicate and beautiful, with a green shirt covered with purple, black hair hanging down to her waist like a cone waterfall, a slender waist, black pupils, and a wonderful figure. With Yang Ze's modern eyes, it is estimated that he is about 1.68 meters, and his life is outstanding, so it is no wonder that the young men around him did not hide their admiration, and even some women showed their closeness to her before.
The strange thing is that Yang Ze has seen all kinds of beauties in modern times, and he became famous in the last life, and there are even more beautiful women around him. It stands to reason that he has long been aesthetically fatigued, and he will not use appearance as the only sign of beauty and ugliness. But seeing this girl at this time, I was still a little excited, and I couldn't help myself.
Is it a costume cosplay control, no resistance to costume girls, or is it a body's original reaction?
Yang Ze shook his head, trying to get rid of his sudden quirk, and continued to recall the fragments of memory.
In my impression, this girl seems to be called Dong Xuan, the second son of Da Sima Dong Jie, and the daughter of Dong Qingshan, a scholar of Da Ye Guo. Shang Shulang accompanied the emperor to manage government affairs, Dong Qingshan dealt with the affairs of the Ministry of War, from a modern point of view, it is equivalent to the post of Minister of National Defense, and the big Sima Dong Jie is similar to the chief of the general staff of the whole army, this Sima family is a senior military official, Dong Qingshan's daughter Dong Xuan, it is conceivable that the status of the royal capital is a lady and a noblewoman.
In Shanglin City, the royal capital, there are many noble princes and sons who want to have something to do with her in their dreams.
I don't know if Yang Ze was dazzled, and when he got up, the girl glared at him.
Then the head drooped slightly, opened the box he carried, took out a warm phoenix jade carving, held the jade carving in her delicate and white hands, raised his hand, the jade carving was full of light, and then sparks splashed, and in the exclamation around him, he only saw a phoenix composed of flames, rising to the sky, rising in the wind, and then in the sky above the lobby, it rose to the extreme, blowing up countless fireworks and sparks, falling in the air, not waiting for everyone to be shocked, those sparks turned into purple ashes, annihilated in the air.
"It's a high-grade mirage spirit treasure! Qi Chunhou plays with everyone, and he gets another treasure. This phoenix mirage does not have the middle grade of the Qi Sea realm, and it can't trigger this kind of illusion. "There was a lot of talk at the table.
"Tsk, Dong Xuan, the little girl of Dong Sima's family, has reached the four grades of the Qi Sea Realm, no wonder Dong Sima is high-spirited, and the younger generations in the family are all outstanding, it seems that among the younger generation of this Da Ye country, there are many talents. ”
"The girls of the Dong family have surpassed the fourth grade, and this boy of the Yang family is not even as good as a woman. ”
"In this way, it will not be long before the Yang family is in power, and this Yang Hongyuan is here, but I am afraid that the status will be even more unbearable."
These words were either laughing or sighing, faintly entering his ears from all directions, Yang Ze could feel some harshness, and even some indescribable resentment in his chest, and the knuckles of the hands holding the copper bottle were white because they were too hard. Yang Ze knew that this was the reaction of the original soul memory of this body, after all, he was reborn and occupied this body with the same name and surname, to some extent, he was both himself and Yang Ze. Because of the fragments of memory in his soul, he empathized with these harsh words, a little intense, and a little guilty because of the implication of his father.
It's so emotional
Yang Ze has been searching for the memory fragments in his mind, as if he suddenly realized the reason why the girl glared at him before, and realized the reason why he was embarrassed by this woman, he involuntarily raised his head and looked towards the end where she was sitting back, as if he remembered something, and the corners of his mouth grinned in surprise, "No"
Dong Xuan returned to his place and sat down, and several women beside him who were also celebrities in the royal capital came over again, and their eyes also moved towards Yang Ze, and then pouted and smiled at Dong Xuan, "In this way, he is the Yang Ze who showed his heart to you the day before yesterday, hehe, I'm afraid most of the kings know about this matter."
Dong Xuan's eyes were about to burst into flames, and she stretched out her hand to pinch her group of girlfriends, and said, "What kind of expression do you have, don't laugh." ”
"Look, he's looking at you, he's looking at you."
Dong Xuan turned her head to look at her, and Yang Ze looked at her thoughtfully.
This makes her inevitably angry and nervous, although Yang Ze has also grown up together since childhood, his appearance is still good, and he should not belong to the type that girls will hate, but he is a mediocre son of the famous royal capital, and his talent for cultivation is mediocre, in this world of the depth of cultivation, the Heavenly Dao Realm, the understanding of the Wei Sutra, and even better than the theoretical school of the Four Books and Five Classics, it is conceivable how serious a flaw this is, not to mention that Yang Ze's disgrace in the public just now has portrayed his mediocrity and loneliness deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.
And the most critical and embarrassing thing is that such a mediocre person in the eyes of everyone even expressed his heart to himself a few days ago.
Almost overnight, she was pursued by Yang Ze, who had the most no cultivation talent and weak strength in the Qichun Marquis Mansion, and spread all over Shanglin's circle of friends.
Dong Xuan is not as fresh and elegant as she looks, and sometimes she has some little fantasies that belong to girls, and she will even use the recognized young talents in Wang Du as remote imagination objects to outline what the people she wants to be together in the future will look like.
He may be full of poetry and books, gentle and elegant. He may have a dragon sword on his shoulder, and he has the ability to slash the demons.
He may even have a chest and arms that can make people feel safe and warm. In short, it is a heroic image that the young women of the whole royal capital will be obsessed with.
But the man she sketched and fantasized about in her heart was not Yang Ze in front of her. If you don't have the qualifications to practice, you can only be a mortal, which means that in the cruel social laws where cultivation strength is respected, the future is bleak.
is pursued by him, not to mention the family, there seems to be a faint intention to match them. When Dong Xuan thought about it, her mood was inexplicably bad, and even her gaze at Yang Ze was vaguely hard and indifferent.
She thought about such an indifferent attitude, Yang Ze is not a stupid person, he will see the clues to some extent, and then probably he will be frustrated and discouraged, knowing that it is difficult to retreat, after all, it is like before, how to live and how to live, they can still be friends, but it is not love.
Thinking about it like this, Dong Xuan sighed slightly. Think about Yang Ze growing up with them since he was a child, in his bold confession that day, he said that he had always liked himself since he was a child. These words made Dong Xuan's face hot as long as he thought about it later, but they all had to face reality. They are two kinds of people who have different lives after all.
Dong Xuan, who was thinking like this, didn't know that when she put on this indifferent and Gao Chuan looked up, Yang Ze, who looked dumbfounded and had just arrived, was still busy absorbing and digesting the information of the new world, and didn't seem to take her attitude to heart.
