Chapter 12: The Wedding

The sky was bright, and Xia Yuan came to Xia Ming's house.

There are already many people in Xia Ming's family, and Xia Ming's father, brother and sister are all here, and they are all busy greeting guests.

A basket of hot beef buns was brought in, and bowls of fragrant mutton soup were served, and relatives and friends who helped to welcome relatives enjoyed a hearty breakfast in the hall. The courtyard was also noisy, and the invited palanquin drivers and drummers gathered in the courtyard for breakfast.

Xia Ming's father and mother simply said hello to Xia Yuan, and went to check if there were any omissions with a nervous face. Xia Ming, who was dressed in the groom's official costume, sat in the hall with relatives and friends, accepting everyone's blessings and ridicule. His younger siblings came to him many times to whisper a few words, conveying the precautions that his father and mother remembered from time to time.

Xia Yuan chatted among a group of relatives and friends, waiting for the departure of the welcoming team.

The sky is bright, and the greeting team is ready to go. The palanquin bearers and drummers shouted and went out to line up, and relatives and friends also surrounded Xia Ming on a white horse dressed in red and green. Before getting on the horse, Xia Ming leaned in front of Xia Yuan and whispered: "Yuan Shao, when you go to the Cai family, you have to help me by my side, don't hide away." Of course, Xia Yuan nodded in agreement.

Blowing and blowing all the way, the welcoming team came to the door of Cai's house. I saw a shout at the head of the music, the sound of drums suddenly became loud, and the sound of firecrackers also sounded, followed by a group of children who watched the excitement scurrying happily in this excitement.

Xia Ming got off the horse a little nervously, and entered the door of Cai's house with a stiff smile, and Xia Yuan followed him with a few steps.

Picking up the bride went very smoothly, the Cai family did not embarrass the new aunt, and Xia Ming easily coped with the past at a few small passes. Xia Yuan followed him and didn't help him except to be brave.

Xia Ming, who was holding the bride, was in the hall to receive a lecture from Lord Taishan, and Xia Yuan, who was waiting outside the house, looked around boredly, and saw the legendary Fairy Cai in the crowd. She is dressed in a red dress, with a good face, revealing a rare heroic spirit of a woman. Xia Yuan glanced at it casually, and already roughly knew that she did have a problem with her exercises, and the aura around her body was unbalanced, and it was difficult to advance to the seventh layer of quenching.

Xia Ming, who had finished the training, came out sweating profusely, and the crying bride also got into the sedan chair, and the welcoming team embarked on the return journey.

Drove the bride back to Xia Ming's house, and went to the door to be lively as usual, Xia Ming led the bride into the door.

The group entered the courtyard, and Xia Yuan stretched out his hand to stop Xia Ming, "The honored guest will be here soon, wait here." ”

The custom here is that the honorable guest is equivalent to the witness, and the honored guest should be present when the husband and wife are ceremonial.

Yesterday, Xia Yuan and Ge Songnan agreed that as soon as Xia Yuan turned around, he would use his divine sense to inform Ge Songnan. After all, if Xia Yuan was not there, Ge Songnan's arrival would be too abrupt. When the welcoming team arrived at the door just now, Xia Yuan had already informed Ge Songnan that he was coming.

Xia Ming stopped holding the bride and asked in a low voice, "Who is it, will you really come?"

Xia Yuan nodded and smiled, "Ming Shao, don't worry, the honorable guest will be here soon, and you will know when the time comes." ”

The group stopped in the courtyard, and Xia Feng, the family elder sitting in the hall, frowned, "Xia Ming, what's going on, what are you doing in the courtyard?" ”

Xia Feng raised the corners of his eyebrows: "Oh, then wait." "Xia Feng is one of the seven eighth-layer elders of the Xia family, and he is over sixty years old and knows that there is no hope for progress in his cultivation, and now he spends most of his time managing contacts and paving the way for the descendants of his house. This time, no one in the family wanted to be Xia Ming's honored guest, but Xia Feng was optimistic about Xia Ming, and always felt that there was something strange about his invention of third-order rune paper, so he took the initiative to ask for it.

Xia Feng thought to himself: As expected, Xia Ming himself also invited a distinguished guest, it seems that there is still someone behind him to help. According to the usual practice, the honorable guests are at least masters of the seventh-layer ability to release their divine sense, and I don't know who came this time. If you are a master, or a child of a big family, you might as well make friends.

At this time, the other guests also knew, and for a while they also talked to each other, speculating about who this distinguished guest might be.

Xia Zhong also came today, mixed in the crowd, he came to see Xia Ming's jokes. After he went back yesterday, he inquired, and no one in the family found out that Xia Ming had invited someone.

Xia Zhong was sure in his heart, and said to the guests who were talking about it: "Don't guess, it wasn't Xia Ming who invited it, I heard that Xia Yuan, who went to the countryside to farm, helped him invite it." After a pause, after everyone around him paid attention, Xia Zhong shook his head and sighed, "What insight does Xia Yuan have, if he gets an old farmer from the countryside, it will be a loss for Xia Ming's face." ”

At this moment, the acquaintance who was in charge of receiving the guest at the door said loudly: "The county guard Ge Zhenren is here to congratulate!"

The guests were in an uproar for a while, the real person was the honorific title of the cultivator of the peak period of the world, and no one present could have imagined that today's honored guest would be a real person. Xia Ming has anything to do with the real person and the county guard's mansion, everyone thinks that they have heard it wrong, maybe the acquaintance at the door has reported it wrong.

Everyone in the hall also thought so, but Father Xia Ming, as the master, was a little anxious, "How can you talk nonsense about this, what's going on with this acquaintance." Elder Xia Feng smiled disapprethoughtly and shook his head, not taking it seriously.

Xia Zhong in the crowd was stunned when he heard it, and then said with a smile: "Xia Yuan is too outrageous, if this is exposed, it will cause trouble for Xia Ming." ”

"What trouble!!"

A broken cry came, and Ge Songnan appeared at the gate of the courtyard.

I saw him wearing a bright yellow and gold-rimmed robe, the robe was covered with mysterious cloud patterns, and his waist was tied with a belt of white jade and jade buckles. With a broken drink, there was a trace of Liding's breath revealed, and the whole person was like a tiger and a dragon, which was shocking, and he could only surrender and cringe.

Xia Zhong, who was deliberately targeted by him, was even more blank, his body fell to the ground weakly, his face was bloodless for a while, and his body was like chaff.

All the guests were shocked on the spot, and they were silent for a while.

Ge Songnan restrained his momentum, walked up to Xia Ming and said with a smile: "Ming Shao is getting married today, and I really wish the two golden dragons and jade phoenixes a hundred years of good together." Xia Ming was also stunned by Ge Songnan's appearance, and he didn't slow down for a while, and thanked him dryly, but Ge Songnan didn't care.

Xia Yuan secretly performed a meditation technique on Xia Ming, and stretched out his hand to Ge Songnan to invite, "The real person invites the hall to sit in the hall to watch the newcomer become a gift." ”

Ge Songnan arched his hand, "Far less polite." Then he followed Xia Yuan into the hall.

As Ge Songnan entered the hall, the guests in the courtyard slowly came back to their senses, and they were all very shocked. Not only for Xia Ming, but also for the Xia family, even for the entire Guning City, it has never been before!

What is Liding Zhenren? That is a transcendent existence that breaks the hundred-year lifespan of ordinary people! As long as you don't advance to Liding, even if you quench your body to the ninth layer, you can't escape the fate of returning to the land for a hundred years. And Liding Zhenren has a lifespan of hundreds of years, when the ordinary people have passed on more than ten generations, Liding Zhenren still exists, what a big gap!

A higher-level body and a more powerful spiritual fluid spell than the quenching body can also have a long time to accumulate, and the strength between Liding and the quenching body is like a cloud of mud. Even if there are multiple quenching body nine layers in front of a Dingding early stage, it is still vulnerable, this is a qualitative difference!

Cultivators in the quenching period look at Liding real people in the same way that ordinary people look at practitioners in the quenching stage, they all look up!

Liding real people can be said to be higher-level creatures, their perspective on the world is different from that of mortals, most of them are not interested in some customs and etiquette in the mundane, and I have never heard of any real people who waste time to deign to be honored guests.

The Xue family and the Wang family in Guning City both have Liding real people, but they usually don't even participate in the family ancestor worship, let alone be honored guests to the juniors of the family. I don't know what the situation is in other cities, at least Guning City has never heard of Liding Zhenren as a guest.

The guests in the courtyard talked in a whisper, most of them were members of the Xia family, and they knew much more about Liding Zhenren than ordinary people, and more and more people were excited to realize that they were participating in a history-making thing.

Xia Yuan and Ge Songnan walked into the hall, and the people in the room were still stunned. Xia Yuan smiled slightly, "Everyone, this is Ge Zhenren, who came to congratulate Xia Ming." At this time, the people in the room came to their senses, realized that they were rude, and hurriedly made amends. Xia Ming's father also hurriedly invited Ge Songnan to take a seat and told Xia Ming's sister to serve good tea quickly.

When Ge Songnan came, he heard Xia Zhong's nonsense from a long distance, and he knew that Xia Yuan invited him to come just to frustrate this person. He is also from a small family, so he naturally understands the twists and turns, so as soon as he enters the door, he shocks Xia Zhong with great power.

After all, this is a wedding, and it is not good to pay attention to the excitement and joy that is too scary. Ge Songnan restrained his breath, like an ordinary person, and chatted with the people in the hall with a smile.

The guests saw that Ge Songnan did not have a shelf, he was easy and kind, and the atmosphere gradually returned to lively, and after a while, the hustle and bustle became more than before. Being able to sit in the same room with a real person, not to mention ordinary guests, even Elder Xia Feng has no such experience. And they can also chat and talk to real people, and everyone is red with excitement and excited.

Ge Songnan saw that the atmosphere had risen, so he stopped chatting in time, "Is it okay to be polite now, I see that the groom is in a hurry." Hearing Ge Zhenren's words, Xia Ming's father hurriedly ordered Xia Ming to start preparing for the ceremony.

Ge Songnan turned his head and said to Xia Feng again: "You are the elder of the Xia family, the one on the ground in the courtyard hinders the joy, you should deal with it." ”

Xia Feng is full of excitement now, he didn't expect to come to the right place this time and meet a real person. Although it is impossible to make friends with real people, it can be regarded as a proud capital to be able to sit and chat with real people, not to mention that making friends with Xia Ming, who can invite real people, can be regarded as a good move.

Hearing Ge Songnan's order, Xia Feng hurriedly responded: "My mistake, Lao Zhenren bothered, I will deal with it immediately." After speaking, he quickly got up, ran to the courtyard and picked up Xia Zhong and left Xia Ming's house, found a secluded place and threw Xia Zhong down, "Xia Zhong, it seems that the real person remembers you, you are so self-conscious." ”

Xia Zhong, who had a pale face, curled up on the ground, panic and mixed tastes in his heart. Now he didn't think about why Xia Yuan invited a real person, all he thought about was offending a real person! Being remembered by a real person! He was so scared that his whole body was cold, and he couldn't stop trembling.

Today is a happy event, and the real person will stop at the point, but what about tomorrow? Even if the real person does not delve into it, the family will not let him go. Liding Zhenren, for a small family like the Xia family, it is an existence that can destroy the clan. If he offends a real person, no one will protect him, no one wants to protect him, even Xia Zhong's grandfather, the great elder of the ninth layer of the quenching body will definitely give up on him when the time comes.

Thinking of despair, Xia Zhong only felt cramps in his abdomen and his mouth was full of bitterness. It turned out that he was so frightened that his liver and gallbladder ruptured, and the bile flowed sideways. After struggling for a while, in this secluded corner, Xia Zhong died silently.
