Chapter 20: The Strange Wedding Banquet
"It's not dawn yet, let's squint again." Tang Ning tucked the quilt for Song Qing and patted Song Qing's back gently, as if coaxing a two- or three-year-old child to sleep.
Song Qing seemed to be very useful, even if he was not sleepy, he closed his eyes obediently.
His quiet sleeping face made Tang Ning's movements lighter and lighter, and finally slowly stopped.
Tang Ning saw Song Qing fall asleep, so he got up and picked up the cooled tea on the table, and the tenderness in his eyes gradually dissipated. She took a sip of cold tea, feeling the coldness spreading from her throat and eyes all the way to her lungs, which made her mind more and more clear.
I don't know how Li Ran and Xu Yan's bodies are recovering?
Thinking of Miaoyin beguiling Wu Xiao to go to Lingshan to ask for Kunlun Mirror, he raised his finger and wrote a few lines in the air. wrote down the collusion between Wu Xiao and Miaoyin concisely and passed it on to Tang Siyao, who was far away in Lingshan.
Guy brought tea early in the morning and breakfast.
As soon as Tang Ning washed her face, she saw Song Qing get up and come over. Snatched the towel from her hand and wiped her knuckles.
She lightly held Song Qing's wrist and said softly, "I'll come by myself." ”
"Knock, knock, knock—" There were a few knocks on the door, and the door opened from the inside.
Xu Yan ignored Song Qing and strode to the round table. She poured a cup of hot tea, handed it to Li Ran, who was late, and looked at Tang Ning: "Senior sister, when are we going to Phoenix Valley?" ”
"Phoenix Valley?" Li Ran took out three drawers of xiaolongbao and a few bowls of white porridge from the food box, and looked at Tang Ning puzzled.
Good and decent, why go to Phoenix Valley?
Tang Ning took a sip of porridge and avoided answering, "Are you unwell?" ”
"It's fine." Li Ran thought that because of himself, Tang Ning and Xu Yan were caught in the whirlpool of the sacrificial array, and lowered his head guiltily.
Xu Yan poked xiaolongbao with chopsticks and pouted boredly. According to Tang Ning's temperament, it is estimated that they will have to be raised in the inn for a few days.
It's so boring, I want to go back to the Lingshan faction.
Tang Ning put down the porcelain spoon, his eyes reflected Li Ran's guilty face, and asked directly: "Then tell me, what's going on?" ”
"I, I originally wanted to go to Tianji Pavilion and ask my senior sister for an explanation. When passing through Changliu Mountain, he found that the demonic spirit here was very strong, so he wanted to eliminate harm for the people. Unexpectedly, as soon as I got close to that demonic qi, I was tied up by an old woman and threw me into the sacrificial array. Li Ran said with a flicker.
There is no need for Tang Ning to think deeply, and he knows that the demonic qi is probably a ghost made by Miaoyin. It is used to attract immortal cultivators in the way, and use their spiritual power to run the sacrificial array.
But she also knew that Li Ran didn't tell the truth. Okay, adults want their own little secrets, little self-esteem, and she respects them.
Xu Yan propped her head with her hands, and the disgust in her eyes broke through the sky: "Third Senior Sister, you are too easy to be deceived." ”
"Slaying demons and eliminating demons is the duty of every cultivator." Li Ran coughed lightly twice and said with some embarrassment. She picked up the bowl and tried to make up for it: "The old woman's magic power is profound, I didn't notice it for a while, and I was tricked." ”
Tang Ning, who didn't say a word, ate porridge silently. Miao Yin is indeed profound, and if he can survive the catastrophe safely, he can get rid of all mortal flesh and bones. Not only can the life span be extended by hundreds of years, but it can also have an ageless body.
Tang Ning put down the dishes and chopsticks, swept his eyes over Li Ran and Xu Yan, and said with a straight face: "Since you are in good health, we will go to Phoenix Valley." ”
"We've been delayed for so long, and Edgeworth is the best option." Xu Yan was afraid that Tang Ning would not be able to think about it, and she would take a carriage again, so she immediately suggested.
Seeing Tang Ning nodded, she breathed a sigh of relief.
Li Ran saw that Tang Ning did not pursue his mistakes, and his high heart finally fell to the ground. She looked at Xu Yan curiously and asked in a low voice, "What are we going to do in Phoenix Valley?" ”
"Zhao Xiaogongzi is married, let's go to the wedding banquet." Xu Yan said goodbye and summoned the sword of life.
After the group left Yunzhong Town, Edgeworth left. Three days later, they finally arrived at a piece of ancient trees towering to the sky, and more than a dozen palaces stood halfway up the mountain.
The auspicious clouds under your feet surround the palace, like a fairyland.
The plaque on the door of the temple is hung with red satin, on which are written three vigorous and powerful characters of Phoenix Valley. On both sides of the door, there were about twenty Phoenix Valley disciples standing on each side.
The maid who was waiting early, after seeing a few people, arched her hand and said, "Please ask a few people to report their names and names, so that I can register them." ”
"Lingshan faction, Tang Ning." Tang Ning took out the jade plate of the Lingshan Sect and handed it to the maid.
After the registration was completed, he was invited into the courtyard to rest.
She sat on the Taishi's chair and looked lazily at Xu Yan and Li Ran who walked in one after another.
"Luckily we made it early to get there, otherwise we would have missed tomorrow's wedding reception. However, does the senior sister know that Zhao Xiaogongzi is married to that young lady? Xu Yan took the tea handed by the maidservant and breathed a sigh of relief.
She didn't want to be blamed by the boss for failing the task.
Having said that, Phoenix Valley has never looked down on the tediousness of the world, and strives to completely break off love. Why can't you suddenly think of letting your son get married?
Li Ran took two sips of tea and said with a smile: "Tomorrow morning, won't it be clear." ”
"Yes." Xu Yan thought about it, she and Zhao Enru were just nodding friends, why should they care about other people's marriages.
Tang Ning put down the teacup, got up and prepared to leave, thinking of something and couldn't help but remind: "We are just attending the wedding banquet, and we don't care about anything else." You give me a good way to behave, and don't make any trouble. ”
Xu Yan and Li Ran said in unison: "Yes." ”
After getting the answer he wanted, Tang Ning took Song Qing to the next room.
Zhao Enru? It's a familiar name. Didn't you miss something? But for a while, Tang Ning couldn't think of it.
She was bored, leaned back on the couch, and could only take one step at a time.
"Master." Song Qing gently rubbed Tang Ning's shoulder, and the force was neither light nor heavy.
Tang Ning yawned lazily, half-squinted his phoenix eyes, and gradually fell asleep.
I vaguely felt that there was an extra person in my arms, and when I opened my eyes, I saw that Song Qing was looking for a comfortable position.
She rubbed her chin against the top of Song Qing's hair, held it in her arms, and chuckled: "How do you look like a lazy cat." ”
Song Qing's body stiffened, and he rubbed in Tang Ning's arms again.
The two of them, who were sleeping in each other's arms, finally fell asleep, and were woken up by the sound of gongs and drums and firecrackers.
Tang Ning sat up boredly, lowered his head and tucked the quilt for Song Qing. Looking at the gray sky outside the window, he put on a robe and walked out.
"If anyone is not dawn, he will marry in a hurry. This Zhao Enru's wife is too anxious. Xu Yan was sleepy-eyed and resentful.
Li Ran clasped his hands around his chest, and when he saw Song Qing walking behind Tang Ning, he also felt strange in his heart: "Since everyone is awake, you might as well go and take a look." ”
So, with a sense of displeasure, a few people followed the sound to the hall of the Qingfeng Palace. Before they had time to observe the wedding, they sat down one after another under the strong arrangement of the maids.
When they cast their eyes in the center of the hall, they saw a strange scene.
The hall was full of guests, and middle-aged men and women were seated. The ears are full of beautiful words, constantly praising this marriage.
The bridegroom was wearing a red hijab, holding an ancient sword alone, and was making a big salute.
There was no trace of the bride in the whole process......
