Ma Qin served as an ordinary official in the Exorcism Department of Qingzhou Mansion for ten years.

In the Great Qi Dynasty, the way to promotion was often limited by seniority, and there were many sons and daughters of powerful people who joined the queue, so that even if he diligently killed demons and demons, he was never promoted to the official court official of Qingzhou Mansion.

So, last fall, he chose to go to Yishui County to try to compete with Gu Xu for an official position in the Nine Grades.

At that time, Gu Xu's demonic talent and amazing performance deeply shocked Ma Qin's heart, and it was difficult to calm down for a long time.

But it was precisely because Gu Xu was so outstanding that he was promoted by Luo Sishou and became an eight-rank official in one step.

Ma Qin was lucky enough to pick up the position of the Nine Rank Detective.

Since then, Ma Qin has been living in Yishui County, and from the mouths of his colleagues, he heard about Gu Xu's shocking deeds-

From the case of the Lu family's murder house, to obtaining the immortal inheritance on the ruins of Laoshan Mountain, to winning the championship in the Lantern Festival Ring in Luojing City; From escaping from the border of Great Qi, to capturing the six cities in the northwest, to defeating Emperor Tianxing and becoming the lord of the Great Wilderness.

During this time, Machin's mood also changed.

From the surprise of "there are such brave people around me", it gradually changed to the emotion of "I didn't expect that someone in my horse would have the opportunity to witness the history of the Great Wilderness".

Especially as Gu Xu's enthronement ceremony approached, the newly recruited officials in the Yishui Exorcism Division gathered around Ma Qin and asked him curiously: "Master Ma, I heard that you once participated in the promotion assessment with His Majesty today?"

Machin laughed and bragged to them, "That's right. At that time, His Majesty had already seen that I was not an ordinary person. During the assessment, His Majesty even named me 'Lord Ma of Qingzhou', and praised me for 'traveling the world with a treasure knife in hand, and subduing all the mountain spirits and ghosts'."

The little officials were amazed when they heard this, and they were immediately in awe of Ma Qin.

Only Ma Qin himself knew that the reason why Gu Xu called him like that was actually to borrow his true yuan through the 'Ask God Spell'.

…………

A few days ago, after Chen Jisheng and others were taken to Liangzhou by Gu Xu, Ma Qin became the person with the highest official position in Yishui County.

But he didn't take charge of the Luojing City Exorcism Division as a matter of course.

A young monk who is said to be a top student of Longmen Academy parachuted in and became his top official.

This young man, when he opens his mouth and closes his mouth, is "the realm of the Tao", "the road to sanctification", "cutting the seven feelings", "the method of detachment" and other unfathomable-sounding words. He seems to be quite proud of his vision, and thinks that the local officials in Yishui County are frogs at the bottom of the well who have never seen the world.

But whenever he really encountered something that he needed to deal with, he always found all kinds of excuses to push back and throw these thorny problems to Ma Qin and others.

This is a world of difference compared with Chen Jisheng, who is dedicated to his duties.

After Gu Xu ascended to power, this young man with low eyes and skills was deposed from his official position as a matter of course. Ma Qin, who has been conscientious for a long time, won the honor of being directly promoted from the ninth rank to the seventh grade, replacing Chen Jisheng as the "governor".

Today, after receiving a new appointment, Ma Qin invited everyone from the Yamen of the Exorcism Division to have dinner at Piaoxiang Building.

He lived in a house provided by the imperial court, and recently, with the assistance of the official media, he found a good family with the right door, and has given a dowry to the daughter of the family and signed a marriage contract.

It can be described as a double happiness.

Gu Xu sat at the dining table in the corner, quietly looking at the people who were chatting and laughing, his heart was full of relief, and he didn't come forward to disturb.

The diligent and down-to-earth official finally got what he wanted and lived the good life he deserved.

Although there are still many shortcomings in the new era.

But Gu Xu believes that it is developing in a better and better direction.

Like a toddler, struggling to shake off the shadows of the past and stumble towards a brighter future.

…………

After drinking and eating, Gu Xu and Shi Xiaohan held hands and strolled to the sparkling Yishui

on the side.

On the riverside, a jujube tree stands quietly with lush branches.

Hundreds of red ropes hung from the trees, gently swaying in the wind.

This tree is the famous "wishing tree" in Yishui County.

At the end of each red rope, a piece of wood is tied, and sincere and beautiful wishes are written.

"Gu Xu, do you remember what your wish was last year?" Shi Xiaohan suddenly asked.

"Of course I remember, I'm here to repay my vows today," Gu Xu smiled, "What about you? What is your desire?"

Shi Xiaohan lowered his head and did not speak.

As Gu Xu waved his hand lightly, the red ropes on the two wooden pieces slowly loosened. They follow the thread of cause and effect and fall lightly into their hands.

Gu Xu first flipped over the wooden sheet he had written, and saw a few words simply written on it:

"Sanctification before the age of thirty."

Shi Xiaohan leaned over and glanced at it, and couldn't help but laugh out loud: "Before the age of thirty...... Gu Xu, you don't have confidence in yourself."

Gu Xu rubbed her head like a cat, making her hair a little messy.

"At that time, I hadn't yet awakened the 'memories of my past life', and I always thought that becoming a saint was an unattainable and difficult thing to achieve," he smiled faintly, "Who knows, cultivating and cultivating, it will naturally become."

At this moment, recalling the days when he was in Yishui County, forgetting to sleep and eating, cultivating and performing tasks, Gu Xu only felt like a world away.

Shi Xiaohan snorted, and his fist lightly slammed on his arm, as if he was quite unhappy with his stunned appearance.

"Look at yours?"

Gu Xu smiled and pointed to the wooden slip in her hand.

"No."

Shi Xiaohan immediately hid the wooden duck behind him and stared at Gu Xu with an alert gaze, like a little wild cat staring at passers-by in the alley at night.

Gu Xu clearly noticed that her earlobes had become red, as if they were dyed with the afterglow of the setting sun.

"It's not fair to show you all mine."

"No."

"Lady Heroine, you can't have double standards in life."

"I said no, I just can't!"

Shi Xiaohan's attitude is resolute, and he is like a kindergarten child who is cheating.

"Just take a look, and I'll buy you a rock sugar gourd later." Gu Xu began to coax the children.

Shi Xiaohan hesitated for a moment.

Gu Xu took the opportunity to hold her wrist and moved her hand from behind to in front of her, along with the wooden slab in her hand.

On the wooden slab, the girl's handwriting is not neat and beautiful, but like a flock of ducklings who have just learned to walk, some tilt to the left, some to the right, looking crooked.

I saw that it read:

"I hope Gu Xu's body can get better as soon as possible, and he can accompany me to eat barbecue, hot pot and flower chicken every day in the future."

Gu Xu turned his head and saw that the girl's cheeks had turned red, as delicate as a ripe apple.

He couldn't help but lean down

, landing a kiss on the corner of the girl's lips.

Then move from side to side, rubbing gently.

His movements were slow, and every few moments, he would pull away and look at her. The girl's eyes had become misty, as if gently shrouded in a layer of mist; And her originally pink lips were also dyed a touch of crimson at the moment.

Like a spring flower, it slowly bloomed in front of him, showing an unprecedented, thrilling beauty and beauty.

Shi Xiaohan seemed to have lost the strength of his whole body, and snuggled softly in Gu Xu's arms.

Your kissing technique...... How did you suddenly become so proficient......

In a trance, such a question passed through the girl's heart.

But she chose to remain silent and did not say anything.

Because she knew the answer to the question, hidden in the body of another woman.

In this warm moment of reunion after a long absence, she didn't want to let herself be here

I just want to enjoy this rare intimate time.

"Come back to the palace with me?" At this moment, Gu Xu suddenly spoke, breaking the silence.

"Hmm." Shi Xiaohan nodded slightly, looking well-behaved and obedient.

Gu Xu hugged the girl tightly, his heart moved, and he once again used the authority of "Qiankun" to tear apart the space.

The rippling Yishui in the microwave, the county town with white walls and tiles, and the yellow leaves piled up on the riverside...... The surrounding scenery blurred in an instant, crumpling together like a kaleidoscope, and spinning dizzily and rapidly.

When Xiao Han came back to her senses, she found that she was already in a simple and elegant palace in Luojing.

Sunlight shines through the delicate window edges, and dappled light and shadow dance on the quaint bronze mirror.

Gu Xu beside him was gone.

In its place, there was another familiar figure.

"Chenxi!"

Seeing the maid who had not been seen for a long time, Shi Xiaohan shouted in surprise. Since she went to the Sword Pavilion, she hadn't seen Chenxi for a long time, but she didn't expect that she had already been picked up by Gu Xu to Zichen Palace.

Chenxi held a crown decorated with a phoenix in his hand, held a set of big red dresses, and took a group of paper maids who appeared at some point, bowed slightly to Shi Xiaohan and said:

"Miss, the emperor has ordered me to dress you!"

Under their arrangement, Shi Xiaohan sat on the chair in front of the dresser in a trance.

Chenxi held the colorful yarn in her hand, skillfully kneaded it, and used the yarn twist to gently roll back and forth on Shi Xiaohan's forehead, twisting off the fine hairs for her, and trimming her sideburns and eyebrows.

This is the "open face", which is the ancient custom of the Great Wilderness. A woman only meets once in her life, and that is on the day of the wedding.

Then, the paper maids dressed her in a phoenix crown and smeared incense powder and rouge on her.

Shi Xiaohan looked at the reflection in the bronze mirror in front of him, looked at the brilliant gems adorned with the phoenix crown, and looked at himself who had become strange and charming, and his eyes suddenly moistened.

She knew that according to the ancient tradition of the Great Wilderness, only the emperor's wedding could enjoy formal ceremonies. As for the other concubines, they were all selected to enter the palace on an auspicious day to receive canonization, and their status was only a concubine, and they were not qualified to hold weddings.

However, Gu Xu was willing to break the routine for her and marry her according to the wedding process. Although the wedding could not be witnessed by the whole world, she was satisfied.

She knew that Gu Xu was making up for her past regrets.

After getting dressed neatly, the eight paper man guards steadily carried a richly decorated sedan chair and slowly came to the palace gate. All around, many paper figures held gongs and drums, beating enthusiastically, and a festive and lively atmosphere filled the air.

Shi Xiaohan gently put on the red hijab and covered the delicate face. With Chenxi's support, she slowly boarded the sedan chair.

It's nearly dusk.

Under the afterglow of the setting sun, the sedan chair slowly arrived, and finally arrived in front of the gate of the Qianyun Palace.

Today, Zhao Yan had left the palace and left the Qianyun Palace to the two of them.

Gu Xu had already changed into a bright red wedding robe and was waiting for her at the palace gate, and the golden sunlight gilded him with a warm edge.

He stepped forward steadily, gently helped her get out of the sedan chair, and the two of them held one end of the red silk and slowly walked into the main hall.

Incense candles have been lit in the house, and wisps of fragrance are permeating. In the corner of the wall is a grain hopper containing whole grains, peanuts and red dates. A pair of double happiness words are prominently posted on the wall.

Under the red hijab, Shi Xiaohan couldn't see the surrounding environment, but with the cultivator's divine sense, she could sense that there were many familiar figures gathered around her.

Chen Jisheng, Wang Yang, Cui Tianyou...... In the past, everyone from the Yamen of Yishui County gathered together at this moment to send blessings to their newlyweds.

After a simple worship ceremony, Gu Xu held the colorful ball ribbon and led Shi Xiaohan into the cave room.

In the cave room, the red carpet is paved, the word Xi is hung high, and the veil is light, all of which are festive. The dragon and phoenix candles are swaying, and the silver charcoal of the copper stove is flickering, reflecting each other with the red lanterns, warming the whole space.

Gu Xu sat on the edge of the bed and looked at Shi Xiaohan beside him.

He picked up a weighing rod in his hand and picked up the corner of the red hijab, moving carefully and solemnly. With the gentle lifting of the weighing rod, the red hijab slowly slides down, revealing the bride's delicate face.

His thoughts paused for a moment.

Although he was already very familiar with Shi Xiaohan's appearance, she looked so different at this moment - her facial features were still delicate and picturesque, but against the backdrop of the gorgeous makeup and phoenix crown, she showed an unprecedented stunning, as if all the splendor was blooming at this moment.

"You're so pretty!" He looked a little fascinated and couldn't help but sigh with heartfelt emotion.

Before Xiao Han could react, he had already hugged her tightly in his arms and kissed her lips affectionately.

This time, his kiss was extraordinarily passionate, as if he was going to pour all his love into it.

Shi Xiaohan felt like a flame on a candle, swaying back and forth in the wind, and his whole person seemed to melt into this sweet and fiery kiss.

"We...... We haven't drunk the sake yet!" She reminded in a hesitant manner.

Hearing her words, Gu Xu picked up two gourd scoops connected by red threads from the table and poured them full of wine. Subsequently, the two of them each held a scoop, their arms interlaced, and drank affectionately.

After drinking, Gu Xu gently threw the scoop under the bed, and under the influence of the authority of the "Mandate of Heaven", the two scoops fell to the ground on their backs.

Shi Xiaohan's face turned even redder.

Because when the marriage contract was made before, Chenxi told her that if the gourd happened to be on its back when it fell, it would mean that men and women were on their backs, and yin and yang were in harmony.

"Xiao Han." Gu Xu called her name softly.

He took off her crown first, then moved his hands to her waist. With a slight sound of silk rubbing, her belt was untied and fell gently to the ground.
