Chapter 41 Shanxi Tang Family

Chang Yin didn't seem surprised to see the person who came, the original loyal and dutiful peasant face showed a trace of evil and cunning, smiled coldly, and said: "Your master is so busy in the north now, you still have time to wander around, don't tell me, you just came here to see me." ”

"Well, I am also your savior, if I hadn't rescued you back then, I'm afraid you would have been buried in a pile of rubble, and you would have died so much that there were no bones left. With a cold face, Ba Lang walked in front of Chang Yin and said coldly: "What's more, you only have fifty percent of your cultivation left, what qualifications do you have to talk to me like this?"

"What qualifications?" Chang Yin's body shook, and seven white half-moon knives immediately burst out of his body, attacking Balang from seven directions. Ba Lang's face was shocked, his movements were not slow at all, and his body immediately turned into more than a dozen demonic fogs trying to dodge the Half Moon Knife, but after all, a demonic mist was still hit by it.

I only heard a painful snort from the demonic mist, and then quickly gathered together and recondensed into the appearance of Balang, but the hand that was still intact just now turned into dry bones little by little, and a large amount of demonic qi came out from the wound on the arm. Barang immediately severed off the entire arm, and when it fell to the ground, it quickly turned into a puddle of water with a pungent smell.

"Seven Evil Bone Killing Knives!" said Ba Lang with a pale face as he looked at the seven half-moon knives suspended around Chang Yin.

"Now I'm qualified to talk to you like that!" Chang Yin secretly pinched the magic trick, put the half-moon knife into his body, and said.

"Haha! I didn't expect that after Chang Yin abandoned the martial arts, he would refine such a supreme demonic weapon, admire! No wonder the prince always mentioned that if Brother Chang can enter my demon path as soon as possible, he must be a great master of my demon dao!" Ba Lang didn't seem to be angry because of the physical injury, but laughed incessantly, looking extremely happy, and then saw a cloud of demonic mist coming out of his broken arm and gradually condensing into an intact arm.

"You're not bad, the shamanic spirit power and magic skills have been practiced by you to the point of incarnation," Chang Yin was not stingy with his words of praise, and said: "As long as you condense the magic pill again, then you can cultivate into tens of millions of clones, the magic pill is indestructible, the demon qi is inexhaustible, and then maybe the name of the first demon in the north will be transferred from your prince to you." ”

"Brother Chang can't talk nonsense!" Although Ba Lang didn't say it, in fact, he already thought in his heart that he would definitely not be worse than the current Xuangang Heavenly Demon, if it weren't for the fact that he could use the moment when the star power appeared against the sky to leak out and form a magic pill with external force, maybe he would have parted ways with the Xuangang Heavenly Demon by now.

"Okay! Don't talk nonsense!" Chang Yin no longer wanted to talk nonsense with Ba Lang and asked directly, "What did you venture to Wudang Mountain to find me for?"

Ba Lang knew Chang Yin's character, and no longer beat around the bush and said: "My lord heard that those lower ninth-rate side sects in the south are preparing to destroy the anti-heaven plan on the fifth day of the fifth month of May, and some outer disciples of the Immortal Buddha Authentic Sect will also go to Beiping, I feel that things may be a little tricky, in order to avoid any accidents, so I want to invite the world's demon masters to gather in Beiping to discuss major matters." ”

"Hmph! In my eyes, the so-called plan against the sky is just a joke! Anyone who knows a little bit of arithmetic knows that the Qing Dynasty has run out of gas, and he still has to go his own way, completely seeking death by himself. Chang Yin said with a disdainful face: "More than a year ago, before the plan started, Chen Jiachong's ninth-rate idlers smashed the magic pill and wasted all his magic skills. Although the matter was not publicized, anyone can guess that it can hurt the Xuangang Heavenly Demon like this with one blow, except for those old guys who closed the mountain and retreated, only the Shangqing Shenxiao Thunder Tribulation of the Ninth Rank Idler could do it. Moreover, Xu Changqing, a ninth-rate idler, closed the mountain gate almost a few days after this, if he hadn't done it, who would have believed it! Moreover, don't forget, those ninth-rate idlers in the south of the Yangtze River have always regarded the ninth-rate idlers as military advisors, and if he didn't have it this time, who would have the courage to go to Beiping to find death?"

"I didn't expect that the dignified hand would be afraid of the ninth-rate idlers," Ba Lang said excitedly: "If I remember correctly, your sworn enemy Ren Sanjiao seemed to have been rescued by Xu Changqing back then, and he should also be your enemy." ”

"Don't put this point together, although Ren Sanjiao and I are mortal enemies, I don't hate him," Chang Yin was not affected at all, and said: "And my senior brother has had a problem with taking sheep with him since he was a child, when he was injured and left, he stole Xu Changqing's three jasper gourds full of corpse gas, and knocked over Xu Changqing's enlightenment pill, Xu Changqing had already said that it was better for him to live than to die, so it seems that Xu Changqing is not my enemy, but my friend." Moreover, the cultivation world all knows that although the lineage of the Nine Streams Idlers is not a true path, but in terms of its Dao Method, those Immortal Buddhas are not as authentic, and the only person who has finally attained the Tao in the past few hundred years is the Nineteenth Generation Nine-Stream Idler, so it is best not to offend him. ”

"If you exchange the skulls of Manggu Ertai, Dolgon, and Ao Bai for Brother Chang's support, I wonder if Brother Chang will do it?" said Balang in a deep voice.

"What?" Chang Yin's face was shocked, his face was full of greed, and he said, "You actually used these few things to hire me, is your prince really crazy?"

"Isn't it crazy, Brother Chang doesn't have to worry?" Ba Lang smiled proudly and said, "My lord has already calculated that Brother Chang has cultivated into the Seven Killing Blades of Evil Bones, so when I go out, remind me and let me tell Brother Chang, as long as Brother Chang can help." After the matter was completed, he gave the skulls of these three people to Brother Chang to increase the power of the Seven Killing Knives of the Evil Bone. ”

"Hehe, your prince is really a person who does whatever it takes to achieve his goals," Chang Yin smiled gloomily and said: "Now even the bones of the ancestors can be used as trading items, no wonder Emperor Yongzheng gave him the name Aqina back then." ”

"That's enough! There are some things that Brother Chang should think about before saying them, so as not to cause trouble from his mouth. "Although Ba Lang is extremely dissatisfied with the control of Xuangang Heavenly Demon, after all, he is his master, and no one can stand it if he scolds his master in front of him.

Chang Yin thought for a moment, nodded and said, "Okay!" I am willing to go to Beiping, but there is one condition, give me Aobai's skull first, so that I can strengthen the power of the Evil Bone Seven Killing Knife a little more, and increase the odds of victory on our side." ”

"No problem, the prince will agree. Without thinking about it, Barang agreed.

Next, the two discussed when to gather in Beiping, and then left Wudang Mountain separately.

On the seventh day of the fourth month, for the villagers of Changhe Township, Shanxi, this day is a very festive day, the Zhao family, who has been scholarly in Changhe Township for generations, is going to marry their daughter, and the person who marries is Tang Wei, the second young master of the Tang family in Pingxiang Township, which is one hundred and thirty miles away. Compared with the Zhao family, the Tang family has produced generals from generation to generation, starting from the pacification of the three feudatories in the Kangxi year, almost every generation of the Tang family will produce so many generals, the highest has served as a governor of one party, it can be said that the largest local family in ten miles and eight townships within a radius of one hundred miles is the Tang family.

In this generation of the Tang family, only Tang Bin, the eldest of the Tang family, served as a general soldier under the prefect of Shanxi, and now he commands a guard camp of 3,000 people in Yuncheng, which is also a small general. As for the groom's official Tang Wei's name, although the name is majestic, but the person is very weak, in the early years, he was selected by the Qing court to study in Germany, he is very Western, except for still having a braid, his clothes and words and deeds are all the same as Westerners, and he is an outlier in Shanxi, a relatively feudal territory. For this reason, I have been scolded by the old lady of the Tang family, but the old lady dotes on this young grandson a little, and every time she finishes scolding, she will let him indulge. In the end, he couldn't simply mention a family to him, and found a dignified and skilled woman to help him settle down, and he chose Miss Zhao. For this Miss Zhao family, the Tang family is 120,000 points satisfied, not only talented, understanding etiquette, but also very good-looking, even in the capital, you can't find a beauty like her.

Originally, Tang Wei didn't like this kind of marriage model where men and women didn't meet and relied on the matchmaker's mouth, and hoped to have a free-style Western love, but when he learned that Miss Zhao would also learn from the West, and after seeing the photos of Miss Zhao, he was amazed, so he gave up his original idea and gladly accepted the marriage arranged by the family.

On this day, Tang Wei personally led the people of the Tang family to Changhe Township to welcome relatives. Halfway through, the greeting procession suddenly stopped, Tang Wei was wearing a traditional groom's costume, and shouted to the front unhappily: "What happened? Why did you stop?"

At this time, the third housekeeper of the Tang family ran all the way over with small steps, and saluted respectfully: "Second young master, there are three relatives in front, and the second master is inviting them to go to Changhe Township with us to welcome relatives." ”

There is a custom in this area of Pingxiang Town, that is, anyone who meets on the way to greet the relatives is counted as a relative of their side, and they go to the woman's house to marry the bride with the celebration procession, so as to increase the joy of the wedding. However, some families who do not live well are not willing to destroy the customs, and they are not willing to have some idlers come here to eat, so they will ask the man to come to greet them late at night, which also forms a unique local folk wedding night marriage.

Tang Wei was stunned for a moment, then immediately laughed again, and said: "Hehe! I didn't expect that there would be people who are not afraid of death to come here to eat with the face of the fourth uncle, and they are quite bold." ”

The Tang family had four brothers in the previous generation and a daughter, but they rarely showed up, and they still stayed at home even though they were married. Among the siblings, except for the second and fourth who are by Mrs. Tang's side, the other two are out of town and have their own careers. The youngest fourth child, Tang Tianhao, was Tang's mother's son in her later years, so she was very favored. Tang Tianhao was also pampered and arrogant, and with the prestige of the Tang family in this area, he crisscrossed the township and became a major harm to the local area. Later, the imperial court set up a military guard battalion in this area, and the Tang family helped Tang Tianhao donate a pipe belt, which was even more terrible, Tang Tianhao's subordinates had the right to have soldiers, and they didn't take other people in their eyes, and the entire Pingxiang town knew this little overlord of the Tang family for hundreds of miles.

For the eldest lady of the Zhao family, Tang Tianhao has long coveted it, but due to the prestige of the Zhao family in the local area, and the fact that the eldest lady of the Zhao family rarely leaves Changhe Township, this makes him unable to start. Later, after he came back from going out to run errands, he saw that the fat that should have been sent to his mouth was actually taken away by his nephew, and he was so angry that he was so angry that he said that if anyone dared to be Tang Wei's cousin, he would pick someone's skin. In this way, none of the people in the surrounding ten miles and eight towns dared to go out on the day when Tang Wei greeted his relatives, for fear that he would inadvertently run into the team that greeted his relatives and offended Tang Tianhao. This made the welcoming team from Pingxiang Town seem calm and quiet, without the slightest hint of the panache of a large family, which made the Tang family feel that Tang Tianhao had gone too far this time, but Tang Wei didn't think so, he was already not used to these township customs, but he thought it was better to be cold.

"Those few are not locals, they are fortune tellers, with his two apprentices," the third steward also smiled and explained, "They should not have heard of the reputation of the fourth master, and they accidentally met our greeting team." You also know that the second master recently fell out with the fourth master for a kiln girl, of course he will try his best to invite those three people in as relatives, so as to refute the fourth master's face. ”

"The merchant girl doesn't know the hatred of the country, and she still sings the flowers in the backyard on the other side!" Tang Wei smiled bitterly, sighed, and said with a little dissatisfaction: "These uncles and uncles still don't know the hatred of the country and the family, and they actually have a discord for a Qinglou woman, I really don't know what to do!"

This time, the third chief manager didn't dare to reply, so he could only smile and retreat to the side, while Tang Wei stepped forward to see what kind of three relatives they were, but they were also the main family officials, so they should personally express their sincerity in the invitation. When he came to the front of the team, he saw his second uncle Tang Biao carrying two unknown children to the limousine, and a tall and thin man stood next to the two children.

When Tang Wei got closer, he couldn't help but applaud the appearance of these three people. Among them, the adult man is quite tall, and Tang Biao, who was already the tallest in this area, has to lower his head half a year in front of him, his appearance can be called the top grade, with willow eyebrows and thin eyes, thin and elegant, and the strange thing is that there is a red mark in the center of his eyebrows, which looks like an unopened eye, and there is always a shallow smile on his face, giving people a feeling of being out of the world. He was wearing a blue and elegant gown, although he looked like he had been on a long road, but there was no dust on his body, which looked very weird, holding a bamboo pole in his hand and simply hanging a long banner on it, with four big characters of fortune-telling half a penny. This also made Tang Wei sigh, such a character turned out to be just a warlock, and he couldn't help but feel sorry for it.

The two children next to this man are also very cute, with round faces, big eyes, and any expression that makes people want to love them. It's a pity that the boy seems to have a broken arm, and the little girl is blind, which cannot but be said to be a defect.

Tang Wei turned over and dismounted, walked in front of several people, and after saluting Tang Biao, he turned around and saluted the man and said, "Under Tang Wei, it is the Lang official who greeted him this time, and I have seen Mr. ”

The man looked Tang Wei up and down, smiled indifferently, and replied: "Xu Changqing, a scattered person in the rivers and lakes, congratulations on the wedding of the son." ”
