Chapter 1: The Unexpected Bride
1
A hundred years have passed, and the blood plum blossom order of Zhuxi Temple has reappeared in the rivers and lakes.
The Blood Plum Blossom Order is an iron order that unifies the Zhuxi Temple of Dongshu Mountain and chases and kills defectors.
As soon as the Blood Plum Blossom Order came out, the seven hundred and twenty large and small sects in Dongshu Mountain would have to be dispatched and go all out to hunt down and kill the defectors.
It's just that the people to be hunted down and killed in Dongshu Mountain this time are really beyond everyone's expectations.
She is the third sword of the seventy-two swords of Zhuxi Temple in Dongshu Mountain, and the goddaughter of Qu Huanshan, the chief deacon of the Deacon's meeting, the leader of the Dongshu Mountain Alliance-Lin Xiaoan.
When Du Huan heard the news, he was sitting next to the severed head lying on the railing of the Huaixi Bridge, and the cool autumn evening breeze blew the yellow leaves of the locust tree in a stream.
The busy idlers of Muluo Town, who gathered here after dinner, suddenly quieted down.
Everyone looked at the shopkeeper of the Yuanqiao Inn in the town.
Du Huan also looked at him.
The shopkeeper of Zhou Da always comes to Huaixi Stone Bridge when there are earth-shattering rumors that people don't know.
The last time he came to Shiqiao to set up the Longmen Array was one day in June last year, when he brought the news that the Kuqiao Gang on Miyun Road sent a letter to the seven hundred and twenty sects and nine major sects on the three roads of Miyun in the east Shushan River, announcing that the Kuqiao Gang had withdrawn from the Shushan Jianghu under the command of Zhuxi Temple, and would not be controlled by the deacon council of Zhuxi Temple from now on.
Who dares to withdraw from the Dongshu Mountains and rivers under the command of Zhuxi Temple?
At the time, everyone just listened to it.
After all, for more than 300 years, who would dare to go against the deacons of Zhuxi Temple in Shushan and Jianghu.
However, seven days later, the disaster of the Kuqiao Gang confirmed that the news of Zhou Da's shopkeeper was reasonable.
That time, the shopkeeper of Zhou Da heard from a guest who stayed in the river, and the shopkeeper of Zhou Da did not accept his room money.
The shopkeeper of Zhou Da looked more proud today than last year.
Obviously, the news he brought today is even more terrifying than last year.
The people on the bridge listened to the news brought by the shopkeeper of Zhou Da today, and were silent for a moment, and suddenly exploded.
Everyone was asking questions to the shopkeeper of Zhou Da.
"Why does Lin Xiaoanli want to go out of Shushan and Jianghu?
"Shopkeeper, I think you want to go out of Shushan and Jianghu, your inn is supported by the East Lake Sword Tower"
"This, Zhou Da shopkeeper, you can't talk nonsense, although we are not from the rivers and lakes, but we are also eating in the Shushan realm. ”
"It's possible for anyone to oppose it, it's impossible for Lin Xiaoan, she is clothed and fed in Dongshu Mountain, and she may be the chief deacon of the next deacon's meeting, why should she oppose Zhuxi Temple?
The shopkeeper of Zhou Da smiled but did not speak. After saying his scoop, he turned and left.
Everyone looked at his back and fell silent again.
If this news is true, then the peace of Zhuxi Temple, which has unified the rivers and lakes of Shushan for more than 300 years, has cracked an imperceptible crack.
"Who is Lin Xiaoanch?" In the silence of everyone, Du Huan suddenly asked.
Everyone looked at him with disdain. No one wanted to answer him that question. Everyone's eyes are saying - you don't even know Lin Xiaoank?
"Why should I know her?" Du Huan muttered to himself. His heart was disturbed by the locust leaves in the wind on the Huai Creek at night. Because half a month later, on the second day of the Mid-Autumn Festival, he was going to marry the bride.
2. During the Mid-Autumn Festival, the festive atmosphere in Muluo Town is not strong.
The news of the shopkeeper of Zhou has been confirmed.
Six days ago, the blood plum blossom order of Zhuxi Temple, commonly known as the rivers and lakes of Shushan, had been pasted on the temple wall of the boat god temple in Muluo Town.
The blood plum blossom order is impressively engraved with the portrait of Lin Xiaoan.
Everyone looked at the portrait of this legendary peerless beauty in the rivers and lakes, and they didn't care much about the words on the Blood Plum Blossom Order. The portrait is very rough and engraving, and I really can't see how peerless Lin Xiaoanvil is and how beautiful he is. However, everyone still fantasized in their hearts, and finally imagined a peerless Lin anvil of their own.
Du Huan also stood in the crowd and fantasized, and also came up with a peerless beauty. Then I wondered what the bride who would come through in eight days would look like.
As a result, the guests of the rivers and lakes in Muluo Town in the past had to bring some news every day about the Zhuxi Temple ordering the rivers and lakes in Shuzhong to hunt down and kill Lin Xiaoan.
The morning guest said that Lin Xiaoanh had been surrounded and killed by nine of the seventy-two swords of Zhuxi Temple in Shuijinggou.
The passer-by at noon said that Lin Xiaoanli appeared in the Qingyan Cave nine hundred miles away, and also injured the young owner of Jiyun Tower.
When he arrived at Shen, the passers-by said that in fact, Lin Xiaoanan had been captured by the five deacons and returned to Zhuxi Temple.
However, there is one thing that is not disputed by the people in the rivers and lakes, that is, the reason why Lin Xiaoanan was hunted down: for next year's deacon seat, she designed to frame the first sword of Zhuxi Temple, and after the matter was revealed, she stole the treasure of Zhuxi Temple Seven silver fairies and turned out of Zhuxi Temple.
The whole Jianghu is talking about Lin Xiaoan, and everyone wants to catch her or get her head. Since then, it has made a name for itself.
But no one wanted anyone to catch her.
Everyone used to know that she was the third of the seventy-two swords in Zhuxi Temple, and she was the killer of Zhuxi Temple who was feared by the rivers and lakes.
Now, everyone knows that she is a demon girl who can be punished by everyone in the rivers and lakes of Shuzhong. Because that's what the Blood Plum Blossom Order says, because the Blood Plum Blossom Order is the iron order of Zhuxi Temple's rivers and lakes to chase and kill, no one dares to disobey Zhuxi Temple.
Except for Lin Xiaoanvi.
3 Du Huan was an orphan, his mother died of labor shortly after he was born, and after his father capsized on Ruoshui when he was four years old, Du Huan lived with his uncle Du Zhongping. The originally miserable childhood was splendid, but it was brilliant because of an aunt Du Jiang who loved them very much.
The Du family is also a big family in Muluo Town, and his uncle is a scholar, and he should go through several imperial examinations, but he was unsatisfactory, and later he had no intention of pursuing a career, went to Chengdu, went to Chongqing, and became a bookseller. It can be regarded as not insulting the scholarly family of the Du family.
It's just that Du Huan hates to read the sage book the most, so he has to read some idle books and strange books that are out of the way, and when his uncle was a bookseller, he hid a lot of these books.
Uncle Du Zhongping sighed repeatedly, the people of the Du family have been going off the rails since I started, and there is no way.
Uncle has been away for a long time, and there is no way to discipline Du Huan. Du Huan relied on his aunt's love, and since he was a child, he has played the piano and chess, told stories and sang operas, and all the things of his son and brother are all good. When he turns eighteen years old this year, he is like a gentleman, helping idlers.
Uncle and aunt discussed, they had to tell Du Huan about a family affair earlier, and when he got married, he could restrain his fancy heart. In addition, a few months ago, a Jianghu warlock gave Du Huan a face, saying that he would kill the Black Evil Star next year, which would not only endanger himself, but also bring disaster to his family.
The way to crack it is to use red joy to dispel the evil spirit.
Of course, this red happy thing is the family business that my aunt told Du Huan.
"What does the bride look like?" Du Huan was still thinking about this question as he looked at the portrait of the blood plum blossom Ling Lin Xiaoanvil on the gray wall of the Boat God Temple. "My uncle said that I gambled for money, and this marriage is not a gambling word. If you are lucky, it is okay to bet on a beautiful bride, but if you are unlucky, you have to guard her for the rest of your life?"
Du Huan was originally a wild person, and he was active and curious by nature, and he was determined to go out to travel and have a long experience, where did he want to get married now.
The aunt said to Du Huan, Aunt Zhang's matchmaker, that's right, she said it, the bride is very dignified.
Du Huan said, I think she is a moldy person.
Du Huan said again, Auntie, don't you know? That Aunt Zhang is a slanted eye, she looks at positive things crookedly, and crooked and ugly people are extremely dignified in her opinion. Anyway, I can't do this, even if the immortals come, I don't either.
Although Du Huan is so angry, he still has to succeed. After all, his uncle and aunt are his own father and mother.
But Du Huan never expected that the bride would be so beautiful, it was August 16, and the Du family was so lively.
When worshipping in the church, Du Huan peeked at the bride, and she had a good figure under the red hijab. The troubles in my heart are gone.
Many cumbersome rituals are like endless thousand-fold doors, and finally enter the door of the cave room.
Except for a few fox friends and dog friends of Du Huan who eavesdropped on the cave room under the window, everyone dispersed, and the autumn night was as drunk as **.
Du Huan picked up a bamboo pole and drove away the splash skin under the window.
Finally got to the point. In the eyes of the young and casual Du Huan, in the marriage of the parents' order and the matchmaker's words, the moment of unveiling the bride's hijab is like the moment of rolling the dice in a gamble, which can be described as thrilling.
Du Huan didn't know that the face behind the red hijab was the cause that God destined for him. From the moment he unveiled the red hijab, he was the happiest person in Shushan.
However, after a minute and three snaps of his fingers, he knew.
4 Du Huan opened the red cloth and revealed a big secret of his life.
Behind the red cloth were a pair of bright eyes and an extremely ugly face.
It's hard to put those bright eyes on this face.
Du Huan said in his heart, this dice rolled a minimum point, unless the player didn't even have a point.
The eyes looking forward to Qiushui looked at Du Huan and seemed to be smiling.
"The bridegroom, go and get a basin of water. ”
Du Huan gasped, it was ugly, the first thing he said when he entered the door was to tell himself to do things, which was simply the tone of talking to his subordinates.
"What else do you say that a girl from a big family doesn't understand the rules at all, and is she so arrogant to her husband?" Du Huan said coldly.
"What else do you say that the boy from a big family doesn't understand the rules at all, and is he so cynical about his wife?"
When Du Huan heard the word wife, he almost died of anger. This respectful face, I don't know where the "Jiao" is?
Du Huan said in his heart, I'll fetch a basin of water to see if she has anything to blame.
Du Huan quietly felt out, and the water came.
"Cool water?" and "Wife" was very dissatisfied.
"My heart is cooler than this water. Du Huan said indignantly.
The bride washes her face with water and washes it very carefully.
Du Huan's tongue was unforgiving, and he snorted: "I don't believe in washing out a beautiful face." ”
The bride's face is washed off pieces as thin as paper-cut and dissolved in water. A basin of water was immediately dyed with color.
When the bride raised her head again, her face was so beautiful.
Du Huan was dumbfounded, as if in a dream.
Like the night in the cave house in the story, it is so unreal.
"Alas, the people from the Feiyun Gang who came to check the bride in the sedan chair today looked at me and said that they had never seen such an ugly bride. And the face you just had, do you men know how to look at women?"
"Who are you?"
"I'm a bride. The bride smiled smartly.
Du Huan was stunned. Growing up in this desolate town, where have I ever seen such a peerless woman. Secretly rejoiced: "Hehe, it turns out that this dice didn't stand firm when they landed, turned over, and changed to eighteen points a little." ”
Du Huan thought about it and couldn't help but take the bride's hand.
"Lady, what weird stuff did you put on your face just now?"
Before Du Huan finished speaking, he had already flown to the wall and fell to the ground from the wall.
The bride stepped up and covered his mouth, "Shhh
It really shouldn't be screamed like this, the night of the cave house, it's really bad to scream like this. It's just that Du Huan felt that the skeleton of his whole body was scattered.
Then Du Huan looked at the bride's face and suddenly remembered the blood plum blossom order.
"You're oops, it hurts, you're Lin Xiao"
"Well, everyone knows me. Is that portrait so ugly, can you all recognize it?"
"Really, Aunt Zhang has the ability to tell me to be my wife?"
"Smack. Du Huan was slapped in the face.
"Wife, don't you have a mirror in your house?"
"The mirror has it. It's just that why did you beat me again? After worshipping the church, aren't you my wife?" Du Huan laughed, "This kind of thing, Ming Media is marrying, and you can't rely on it." ”
Lin Xiaoanqing also laughed, his bright eyes smiled like a crescent moon, and Du Huan was intoxicated when he saw it.
"It's funny, I've never seen someone as delusional as you. Do you think you're worthy of me?"
"It's really funny, I've never seen such an arrogant 'wife' as you, do you think you should talk to your husband like this?"
Lin Xiaoanvil raised his hand, and Du Huan dodged, but he didn't knock it down.
Lin Xiaoanan walked to the window and listened outside the window, "It seems that I really hid it from them this time." With a smug and playful smile on his face, Du Huan became more and more cute the more he looked at it.
"Lady, which one is this singing?"
"If you dare to call me a lady again, I will kill you. ”
"Killing her husband is a big crime. Du Huan grinned.
Lin Xiaoan's anger wasn't angry this time, but he looked at Du Huan very strangely and said, "Are you stupid or crazy? Since you know that I am Lin Xiaoan, aren't you afraid of me?"
Du Huanqi said: "The people in the rivers and lakes are afraid of you, why should I be afraid of you? Even if he is afraid of you, he is afraid of his wife, and he is not afraid of him. ”
A soft sword as cold as water, with a blade as thin as a cicada's wings, smeared on Du Huan's neck.
Of course, Du Huan didn't see how Lin Xiaoan's sword came out, and he didn't even see a white light or anything.
"Are you afraid?" Lin Xiaoan's eyes smiled.
"Don't be afraid, I don't know why? I don't think you will kill me? From the first time I saw you, I believed that you were my wife. How could you kill me?"
"Phew, first look?"
"Second look. Yes, yes, I said it wrong, it should be the second sight, since you washed off the weird things on your face, the second time I saw you, I will die for you, and I am not afraid. ”
Du Huan looked straight at Lin Xiaoan, thought about it and said, "Since I'm not afraid to die for you, naturally I'm not afraid that you will kill me, I"
"Say such disgusting words" Lin Xiaoanqin has killed many people, but it is difficult to attack Du Huan tonight, maybe he is really a little stupid.
"Well, I tell you, I am not your bride, and your bride is now tied by me to the cellar under the firewood house above her house. This girl was surrounded by the nine major sects of Zhuxi Temple in Ma'anshan Longjiaji, out of helplessness, hiding in a firewood house on the outside of a family, seeing that she could not hide for a few days, but it happened that the member was going to marry her daughter, this girl bought off a pair of his family who wanted to elope, promised them a number of silver taels, and made a plan before the sedan chair, nothing more than the rivers and lakes drug blinding method and the like, and did not give you more, and changed the appearance, just like that, this girl sat on the sedan chair, all the way, concealed how many scheming people from the nine major sects, out of their encirclement, carried to your house, and you stupid boy worshipped, and then prepared to kill your false groom, fly away in the night。 I have made it clear, right? You should sleep well now, recuperate your spirits, and go to the cellar of the firewood house in the backyard of your father-in-law's house in Ma'anshan Longjiaji tomorrow, and bring your bride untied and get married again. And then forget about me. ”
Du Huan was confused. I want to speak.
Lin Xiaoanan waved his hand and said, "By the way, I also want to tell you that your bride is really ugly." ”
Du Huan clapped his hands and said: "First, you just said that I am a fake groom, this is a bad statement, I am a real groom, and you are also a real bride." Second, isn't it inconsistent that you just said that you want to kill me and that you want me to go to Ma'anshan tomorrow? Third, people say that marriage is predetermined, but I didn't believe it, but now I believe it. You see, you do your Zhuxi Temple what sword what lady, how good it is to call the wind and rain on the rivers and lakes to become a soldier, and you want to go out of the Zhuxi Temple in a good manner, so that you will be chased and killed by the whole rivers and lakes, this is it, where is it not good to run, you have to run to the place where the birds don't in Ma'anshan, this is it, where is it not easy to hide, you have to hide in Chen Yuanwai's village, this is it, Chen Yuanwai's daughter who is not easy to marry, you want to marry me, this is it, you want to live and die for the Chen family's daughter on the sedan chair, come to worship with me, this is not a marriage in the previous life, what is it?"
Lin Xiaoanli was also dizzy when he heard it, he really didn't expect that there were people in the world who talked as much as himself.
Just as he was about to speak, Du Huan also waved his hand, looked at Lin Xiaoan, and said, "Also, I want to tell you, who dares to say that my bride is ugly? My bride is a peerless beauty." ”
Lin Xiaoanh shook his head helplessly, put away the soft sword in his hand, and said, "I will answer you now, first, for me, you are a false groom." Second, I really want to kill you, can you give me a reason not to kill you? Of course not, to keep you alive, that is, to leave my whereabouts. However, I changed my mind again, and I didn't want to kill people who said I was good-looking. I did contradict myself. Third, I worship with you, just for a show. It has nothing to do with any bullshit marriage. Also, your bride really isn't a stunning beauty. ”
"Visiting the church with me is just a play, and that's a good point! The so-called life is like a play. Drama is like life. Life is a play within a play, and play is life within a life. Is there a difference?"
"Of course there is a difference. ”
"Then you tell me what is the difference?"
"Smack" with a crisp sound.
Du Huan covered his face.
"Here's the difference. ”
Lin Xiaoanran smiled at Du Huan, suddenly jumped out of the window, and disappeared into the newlywed night. Continue her escape.
When Du Huan rushed to the window, he only smelled a wisp of incense in the night.
