Volume 21 "A Few Smoke and Dust on the Immortal Road in the World" Chapter 25 Vomit from the bottom of your heart and repay the dream of plum blossoms

"Xueyi, what is written in that letter?"

Suddenly, seeing Xue Yi like this, he was very curious, so he asked again.

Hearing his question, Mei Ling, who was flushed with red light, suddenly became more nervous, and subconsciously closed the letterhead tightly between her hands and covered it firmly, for fear of being taken away by the awakening.

"Ugh!"

Seeing her so embarrassed, Xingyan was a little apologetic. Seeing Xue Yi's reaction like this, the letter she was holding tightly in her hand was a private word that Ling Yi'er told her, and if this was the case, it would be too unreasonable to learn from the privacy and shame of these daughters' families.

Thinking like this, he smiled sheepishly and prepared to turn and walk away.

Who knows, at this moment, the woman who has always been obedient to him finally came to her senses. Remembering that Xingyan asked her about the letterhead just now, she didn't dare to really disobey even though she had a thousand feelings and thousands of shames, and when she was flushed with her face, she moved to Xingyan with difficulty, lowered her head, insulted her face, and handed the letter to Xingyan with trembling hands, and once Xingyan took it, she was like a sudden insect sting, she was startled with herself, suddenly twisted her body, her steps became extremely brisk, and she ran to the bamboo forest in the west, leaning on the highest green bamboo and covering her face with her hands, and her pretty face hung down almost in her chest!

"Uh......"

"Then look at what is written in the letter!"

I always felt that Xue Yi's behavior was a little strange today, so he didn't care about anything else, quickly unfolded the letterhead, and looked at it honestly and unceremoniously.

At that time, it was said that the east gang, the golden sun slanted obliquely, reflecting the stone cliff with the swaying bamboo shadow outside the body bright and picturesque. In the shadow, the thin paper that was being read in Zhang Xingyan's hand seemed to contain infinite magic, which had just made the tall woman become as delicate as the sun, and suddenly made the calm and quiet Daozi become confused and full of mixed feelings. In the bright sunlight, the young Daozi's handsome and dusty face is like those blurred bamboo shadows that change with the wind in the bamboo forest in the west of the cliff, joy, sorrow, and happiness, and all kinds of expressions flash on the face like a marquee, like a pool of spring water that is occasionally thrown into the stone, and the ripples scattered by the heart do not know when it will be calm.

Qingya was calm, the wind was calm, as if everything was quiet together, waiting for the hall master to give an answer to the letterhead.

Wandering so silently, I suddenly saw the snowshirt woman in a snowshirt who was hanging her head and shyly on the edge of the verdant bamboo forest, and she had an answer for a while.

"Xueyi~"

“...... Huh?"

Listening to the call of the awakening words, the girl who only cared about burying her head in shame was suddenly startled, like a frightened little white rabbit, she raised her head in a panic and agreed, and then lowered her head, only looking at her toes with her hands twisting her skirt and looking at her toes.

"Hah!"

At this time, regardless of her shyness, she said loudly:

"Xueyi, what Yi'er said in this letter, in fact, I have already thought about it, but I was busy for a while, so I didn't have time to speak. I'm just mentioning it today, so I'll ask you—"

Speaking of this, the master of the Shangqing Lay Family, who was accustomed to a hippie smile on his face, suddenly became extremely serious, solemnly said in a solemn tone, and said loudly with a serious face:

"Xueyi, in fact, I have long wanted to marry a wife. Ahem, will you marry me?"

...... A word broke the earth, and the mountains and rivers were silent for a while.

In an instant, the girl couldn't hear anything, couldn't see anything, only felt that her body turned into a feather and fell into a crystal clear abyss, floating, floating and floating to the bottom of the unfathomable abyss...... "Snow Yi......"

I said it, but I saw that Xue Yi was silent and didn't react, she still leaned on the side of the green bamboo as always, her body stiffened, but she didn't seem to be listening to herself at all.

"Uh......"

Seeing this, Xingyan suddenly had some doubts:

"Did you really say what you just said?"

Puzzled, he opened his mouth wide, coughed clearly, confirmed that he had made a sound, and asked tentatively:

"Snow is ...... Don't you want to?"

“...... Willing to !!"

blurted out a word, lost his voice and shook the forest, and in an instant, he scared away a few forest birds!

Suddenly, the girl also reacted, and suddenly became even more ashamed, whining and crying, and suddenly floated away, and wanted to flee to the depths of the bamboo forest. It was only a few steps before he heard the man behind him say:

"Xueyi, don't go! Listen to me, I think that since everyone has no objection to this matter, it is best to do it as soon as possible!

When Hall Master Zhang said this, he had a little hippie smile, and said with a smile:

"Well, from now on, it will be less than four or five days, since we are getting married, there are many etiquette matters, and you and I have to step up. You can do it, you have to help me quickly!"

"Hmm...... Ok ......"

No further ado. In the past few days, Xingyan has been so busy that his feet don't touch the ground. First of all, I went to the Master Gate, explained to the head of Qinghe, the elders and the friends in the door, and made a wedding post. Immediately afterwards, he took Xue Yi back to Poyang Raozhou, and before entering the house, he first went to the Dragon Palace at the bottom of Poyang Lake to tell him the details. At this time, the four desecrated dragon lords and Dongting Lake Monarchs were already considered to be sobering relatives. Considering that he had a verbal marriage contract with Lingyi beforehand, he couldn't help but ask them for instructions on this matter of marrying Xueyi.

When Xingyan took the shrunken Mei Ling to the Dehu Palace, presented the Lingyi letter, and explained the details, the Dragon Monarch Lake Lord was a reasonable god who knew all the deeds of Xue Yi. Now when I see this pink and beautiful fairy, it is I who see pity, how can I stop it. Not only did they not obstruct it, but when they parted, they also carried out eight boxes of rare treasures from the Dragon King's treasury and gave them to Xue Yi as her dowry - immediately, this move made the plum blossom fairy, who had always been lonely, cry with gratitude!

Before leaving the Dragon Palace, Yun Zhongjun gave another word of advice to Xingyan, saying that although they didn't care about him marrying more, they must not follow the example of the layman in the future, and care about the distinction of "wives and concubines...... In the end, there are still some young people's surnames, Lao Longjun's words, the calm and free Zhang Tang Master still blushed when he heard it, and he only hugged his head and ran away, extremely embarrassed...... Let's talk about the city of Raozhou.

"The little immortal of the horseshoe Zhang family is going to marry a wife!"

Before May 15, the news of the marriage spread on the ground in Raozhou, Poyang Lake. At this time, the horseshoe Zhang family has become a celebrity on the ground, no matter the neighborhood, the restaurant and the teahouse, almost everyone is talking about the family affairs of the awakening. This one says:

"Li San, why does that little servant of the Zhang family want to marry a wife? Isn't he a monk?"

"Ho-ho-ho!"

Li San'er heard this question, sneered three times, and despised his old friend:

"Frightened! Don't you know? There is a kind of Taoist priest in the Taoist sect, called 'Huoju Taoist'. Just listen to the name, they know that the kang head where they live is hot - you say, how can you do without a wife?"

"Yes, yes, this benevolent brother is high!"

Li San's old friend had no doubts, and a guest next to him who traveled south and north echoed:

"The younger brother also heard that there are a lot of Fire Dwelling Daoists in that gate. The younger brother has also been to Lingnan a few times, and he knows that there is an old Taoist in Puritan County in Chuanluo County, who is called Lingchu or early Ming, and I heard that he married seven or eight wives, and now everyone respects him as a 'member of the staff'!

is so chattering in the teahouse, and the average household does not let go of this good talk, chewing the tongue the same. For example, in a certain house, there is a child in the head of the horn who asks the mother who is collecting the soles of his shoes:

"Mother, tell me, is the bride of the little brother of the Zhang family beautiful?"

"Beautiful!"

After listening to Xiao Yan's questioning, his mother pulled out the needle and thread on the sole of her shoe, rubbed it in her hair, and said categorically:

"Of course it's beautiful!Ho ho, I heard Aunt Liu San next door to you say that she was grooming and dressing up the daughter-in-law of the little brother of the Zhang family in Ji Fuzhong, alas, the wife of the little fairy who has not passed through the door looks like the fairy daughter in the painting!"

The woman was full of praise as she took the shoes:

"Listen to your Aunt Liu, the new daughter-in-law, the eyes are called a water spirit, and the skin and flesh are called a white tender!

"Oh......"

After listening to the old lady's words, the little girl bit her fingers and thought:

"It turns out that the bride of the little brother of the Zhang family is the same as the cabbage in the field of the little fat family and the white pig in the circle of the second girl's family!"

I don't know whose naughty little guy is, sketching the image of Xue Yi in his mind, and suddenly remembered the cabbage and pork dumplings he ate at home during the New Year, so he drooled and jumped on the bamboo couch and shouted:

"Mother, mother, Xiaoqing is going to marry a bride tonight!"

"Boom!"

Without asking, it was known that before the words fell, I didn't know that the so-called little man had a "chestnut" on his head.

In addition to these chatters, there are also people who are nervously preparing for the wedding of the sobering words. For example, on the fourteenth day, in the Daoxiang Restaurant where he had worked, the new tent was in a haunted place all day long, and his eyes were always staring at the door curtain, as if he was waiting for some important person.

"It's strange, this Gui tent has always been honest and never made mistakes, why did he make a mistake a few times like he lost his soul today?"

Looking at this new tent that he admired, the chubby shopkeeper Liu of Daoxianglou was really puzzled. Seeing Mr. Ledger like this, if it weren't for the fact that the happy event of the great immortal was approaching, and for the sake of his low salary, Shopkeeper Liu would have been angry a long time ago!

In fact, this mortal fat shopkeeper didn't know that the strange-looking account clerk in front of him actually had a good background. The current tent of Daoxianglou is actually a demon spirit in the mountains, named Guiqing, which is a veritable thousand-year-old Guijing in the Qilian Mountains.

This Gui Qing was also a well-known demon merchant among the demon clan, famous for selling "demon suppression pills". However, when the demon clan made an alliance with the four clans of the Six Realms under the leadership of the Xuanling Sect Master, and was no longer hostile or enemy, his pill called for clearing the demon atmosphere and concealing the demonic qi was out of sales, so he had to change his appearance, and with the strong capital accumulated over the years of business, he finally bid out among the tens of millions of demon spirits of the demon clan, and got the Daoxiang Restaurant where the sect leader had practiced as an ordinary account man. As far as this thousand-year-old Gui Jing is concerned, it can be said that although the sect master's efforts have ruined his livelihood for many years, he is extremely sincerely grateful! Although he can make a few bucks by selling the pill that conceals his demonic spirit, whether it is a buyer or a businessman, the transaction is full of humiliation. Now that the Venerable Sect Master with boundless power had saved them from such a humiliating life, how could they not be grateful?

Because of this, Gui Qing, who has always been meticulous and orderly, was really overjoyed when he heard that the sect leader was about to get married, and he actually made the calculations that had never made mistakes for hundreds of years miss countless times in one day! If it weren't for the advanced cultivation of this sect master's former shopkeeper, he felt that he would have been swept away long ago.

In this way, I was so restless, and finally I came to the west of the head, and the curtain of the door suddenly sounded, and finally seven or eight rough warriors with strange faces broke in, and as soon as they entered the door, the one who was headed shouted at him at the top of his voice as if no one was around:

"Gui Laosi, what are you still grinding around?, let's congratulate the ritual drill tonight, why don't you go soon?!"

"Oh!

Seeing his partners coming, Na Gui Qing quickly stood up from behind the counter and responded:

"Guys, I'm just about to leave, please wait a minute!"

After greeting him, he turned out of the counter, came to the shopkeeper Liu and gave a deep salute, and pleaded:

"Shopkeeper Liu, I have some entertainment with these friends tonight, and I can be granted a three-hour vacation. ”

"What?excuse off?!"

When Shopkeeper Liu heard this, he suddenly felt like he was being stepped on by his tail, crooked his eyebrows, grinned, and sizzled for air, as if he had just been bitten by a dog and suffered great grief. It's just that he was about to have a seizure, but for some reason his expression suddenly relaxed, changed his mind, smiled with his eyebrows, and said kindly to Gui Jing in front of him:

"Okay, isn't it just to take a leave, why do you think it's a big deal! Go, go, go early, don't make a mistake! Haha, hahaha!"

Waiting for Gui Qing and his party to leave, looking at the door curtain that was still shaking, the fat shopkeeper Liu was alone, and checked the big ingot of snow silk silver in his hand, judging from his years of experience, this amount and volume are right, so the heart of the shopkeeper Liu, who has experienced many vicissitudes, is full of confusion:

"Strange! This Xiao Gui, the salary I promised him for more than two months is not worth one percent of this ingot of silver! Although it can be seen that he used to be a rich man and had some savings, but in order to take a leave of absence, he ...... Is he sick?!"

However, although he hesitated, the fat shopkeeper Liu, who loves money like his life, doesn't care so much. Hey, if that's a disease, then he really can't wait for all of his guys to be terminally ill!

Without further ado, it was May 15 in a blink of an eye. Marriage is a major event in life, and this time with Xue Yi, how to hold a wedding, there are different considerations.

In the past few years, he has become very familiar with Xue Yi's surname. Although in the eyes of others, this Kou Xueyi is a naturally born stunner, elegant and refined, and cannot be taken lightly, but in the past few years, he knows that under the unattainable appearance of this beautiful Mei Ling, there is actually an indelible inferiority complex. Almost the same as that little sister of Qiongwei, no matter how she explained, instilled, and even coerced over the years, this bitter woman always felt that she was not human, so she felt inferior and self-pitying. Many normal things in the world, she thinks they are so beautiful, but she has nothing to do with herself, although she is calm on the surface, in fact she is full of longing and hope for those ordinary people that are difficult for ordinary people to reach.

It is precisely because of this understanding that she secretly decided that this time she must be given a very grand and extraordinarily secular wedding. After making this decision, the first thing he did when he went to his hometown in Derao Prefecture was to go to the city to find Mr. Ji, the enlightenment teacher, and borrow a magnificent ancestral house in his house as Xueyi's boudoir before she got married. After arranging the happy house, he took out the treasure savings that Lao Longjun had rewarded him in the previous South China Sea War, sold it and sent a large amount of silver, and used ten times the salary to invite the old craftsmen in his hometown to rush to work at night to prepare all kinds of things and ceremonies for the wedding.

While making such careful arrangements, he meticulously grasped the completion of the five ceremonies before the marriage ceremony. Although many of these are known and scheduled, he is still meticulous, running back and forth, and completing them with his heart.

During these rituals, according to the rules, it is not allowed to meet the newcomer. Before the fifteenth day of May, it was okay for the hall owner who was busy all day, and the woman who was hidden in the boudoir, although she was surrounded by the maid-in-law all day long, was very lively, but she had already tasted the pain of lovesickness. In such a shy, timid, and hopeful contradictory mood, the day of May 15 finally arrived...... The moment of welcoming is set at dusk. There are clouds in the ancient scriptures, marriage is for a period of time, yin comes and yang, men welcome women in dusk, and women come because of men, which is for marriage. Therefore, even if many people are excited, they must patiently watch the sun fall and wait until dusk.

In Raozhou on May 15, the weather was very good. At dusk, the sun sets, the moon rises in the east, and the streets and alleys of Raozhou City are shrouded in dim twilight. Layers of slightly damp twilight fog replaced the smoke of the past and curled in the streets and alleys, and in the steaming night fog, houses fell one after another, gradually sinking into the hazy mist. The small town, which had been noisy for a day, suddenly fell silent, and it seemed that everyone was waiting for that moment to come, all looking forward to it, and holding their breath.

Gradually, when the afterglow dissipated and the sky turned pure ice blue, the tall white horse carrying the delicate guest finally slowly walked into Rao City.

Da, da.

Da, dada...... In the crisp sound of horses' hooves, the procession dressed in red and hanging colors walked all the way, and when they passed, every house on the side of the bluestone street, according to custom, lit the right red candles in front of the door. The twilight is silent, the candle shadows are shaking red, and the thousands of flickering candles are connected together, lighting a warm and mellow route, and gradually winding towards the red-lit deep mansion compound......
