The Spirit Sword Sect is a major cultivation sect in the Southern Regions, and there are many cultivators in the sect, and those who have advanced cultivation do not know how many. Like many other cultivation sects, he chose to be in the deep mountains and old forests that are inaccessible. Although it is not that he does not ask about the world, he also rarely walks around in the world. In stark contrast to the Spirit Sword Sect is a family like the Shangguan family, which is hidden in the city, they live in the mortal world, but they are still cultivating. Not only the pure hearts of the cultivators, but also the intrigues of mortals. There are not a few people like the Shangguan family who take care of business and trade.

"Coming, coming, coming" A teenager-like person rushed all the way to the lobby from outside the door, lowered his head and gasped for a few breaths: "Dad, mother, uncle, brother-in-law and brother-in-law Xiao, with the person who greeted the relatives outside the city." ”

"Outside the city?" finally came, Shangguan Lan got up with a suspicious look and asked, "Why don't you go directly into the city?"

"Uncle, it was Brother-in-law Xiao who was afraid that the flying horse would startle the people in the city, so he stopped the flying horse at the Rest Pavilion next to Xiuhu Lake. Raising his head, he said, this young man is only thirteen or fourteen years old, his smooth and fair face has a hint of ruddy, and there are a few drops of sweat on the bridge of his nose, which looks a little similar to Shangguan Xuehui.

"Ming Hao, why didn't you go into the city with Xiao Ding? Mrs. Zhou got up and walked to the young man's side, took out a handkerchief to wipe his sweat, and asked.

"Mother, the fourth grandfather and Lin Xin are with them, I will come back to inform you myself, and by the way, I will also tell my sister. His eyes darkened, obviously there was something in his heart, it turned out that this handsome young man was called Shangguan Minghao, and he was Mrs. Zhou's youngest son. At first, he and Li Shuyi greeted people outside the house.

"That's good, second brother, brother and sister, hurry up. Shangguan Lan said busily. It will be a while for Minghao to go home, and it shouldn't be far away.

The Shangguan family is a big family, and it has dealings with many forces outside. There were a large number of people who came to the house to congratulate and congratulate them, and it stands to reason that the head of the house should receive them one by one. However, most of the visitors were ordinary people, and they could not afford to be received by cultivators. So you don't have to do these things yourself.

In the eyes of these ordinary people, these cultivators, also known as cultivators, are all people who practice the profound path. Being able to build a relationship with them will make it easier to act in the future.

As a practitioner, in the past, it was common to marry like this, but there was no need to be so aggressive. But the difference this time is that this is a combination of two major forces, and the two top forces in the Southern Regions announced that they would join forces. This wedding was a proclamation, so it had to be done again.

The main banquet hall of the family is also arranged in the outermost square, and there are a large number of people, and since the time has come, the banquet has already been held.

"Xiao Gongzi came from afar, Lan Mou has missed the welcome, forgive the sins!" At this time, Shangguan Zheng and the others had already arrived at the door of the lobby with Xiao Gongzi, who was welcoming his relatives. Seeing them come in, Shangguan Lan got up from his position with a smile on his face and greeted him.

I saw a man walking in from the door, dressed in green clothes and fine red makeup, as if he was wearing a Taoist robe, but he had a bit of a childish breath and a hint of joy. He is about eight feet tall, with sword eyebrows flying obliquely, a tall nose, and two red and phoenix eyes. With a little smile on his face, he was Xiao Ding.

"Don't be like that, the head of the house. This time, the father asked the child to come and specially told him not to lose his etiquette. Xiao Ding didn't dare to work for the head of the family. Xiao Ding hurriedly clenched his fists and replied. "The junior Xiao Ding has seen all the elders, and I am here to say hello to the elders for my father, my father is busy with things in the door and can't come in person!" After talking to Shangguan Lan, he greeted several elders and everyone present one by one.

"This time, Uncle Li and I were the only ones who came together, acting cheaply, and they didn't bring anyone else. I hope the head of the family will not be surprised. ”

"Where, where, Master Xiao has arranged it very properly. Shangguan Lan said.

Xiao Ding hurriedly introduced the person to Shangguan's family, "This is the elder I sent, Uncle Li Santong, this time I specially drove his old man and me to come here, so that this matter went smoothly." ”

"Haha, I've heard the name of the ghost sword for a long time, it's really better to be famous than to meet, Brother Santong is really a heroic hero. Now that Xue Hui and Xiao Ding are married, our two families have also become a family, and we will have to be more close and close in the future. Shangguan Lan hurriedly said to Li Santong. Although the ghost sword is a few points shorter than Xiao Ding, he was also a handsome man among people when he was young, and as a cultivator, he still has the same demeanor now.

"The head of the Shangguan family is polite, Li is uninvited, and I hope you don't want to be surprised. "Li Santong should arrive.

Lan didn't say much gossip, and invited the two of them to take a seat. Shangguan Lan, as the head of the family, invited the two people who came to sit down, arranged for the two to sit down, Shangguan Lan said to the girl next to him, "Go and invite the young lady to come." ”

"Yes!"

"No need. Mrs. Zhou hurriedly stopped her, returned to China and said to Shangguan Lan, "Big brother, Minghao has gone just now." ”

"Well, that's fine!"

"Sister, that big bird looks mighty, there are two big crowns on the top of the head, red like flames, those eyes are really powerful, it makes people's hearts flutter at a glance, the feathers are also fiery red, a pair of big claws, each one is as big as half a person, the two wings are ten zhang wide, and the wind will be whistling and you will be surprised when you see it! Lin Xin, do you say?" Shangguan Minghao came out of the boudoir with his sister, his eyebrows fluttered and he kept talking, and he didn't forget to ask the young man next to him for confirmation after speaking.

"It's quite big" Lin Xin is the young man who went to pick up people with the four elders just now.

"Oh, that's the right thing to see. "Today's Shangguan Xuehui has a red makeup hosta, no complicated decorations, a simple brocade robe on her body, and there is no other expression on Ruyu's face, just a slight smile at her younger brother.

Seeing that his sister didn't show the expected surprise, Minghao felt strange. Suddenly realized: "Have you seen that divine bird?, hey, you and your brother-in-law have known each other before, you must have seen it~~ Why didn't I think of this?" He wanted his sister to know what he had seen, and he didn't notice Shangguan Xuehui's emotions.

"Have you seen it, there are many riders in the Spirit Sword Gate, what you are talking about should be the Fire Wing Luan, this bird is the most majestic, but the number is not much, and there is only one Spirit Sword Gate. There are not many people in the world who can see it, and it is a blessing for your eyes to see it in Minghao. She saw her brother's emotional loss and comforted softly.

Just now, I came all the way and listened to the four elders talking about talking with that Xiao Gongzi. Sister Xue Hui should have left with someone before tonight, and now she must feel uncomfortable leaving her parents. Ming Hao must not know the situation, and he has not yet experienced Sister Xue Hui's mood. Lin Xin understood the situation in his heart and said: "Sister Xuehui, don't be sad, being able to be with your beloved, and you can practice together and travel the world together in the future, it must be a happy thing, you should be happy." I'm sure your mom and dad will be happy for you, too. ”

"Giggles, Lin Xin, you are not very old, and you know a lot. Although he smiled in his mouth, he was sad in his heart. Somehow, when I saw these houses before, I felt that they were normal. At this time, she felt that every tree and flower was reluctant, and Xue Hui looked at the yard. "yes, I don't know when I'll be back after leaving this time. She sighed slightly.

"Can't you come back?" Although Shangguan Minghao is one or two years older than Lin Xin, he is still a half-old child. Many things are not quite understood.

"It's not that I can't come back, it's that I rarely have the opportunity to come back. This is the rule. Lin Xin saw that Minghao didn't understand, and explained with his own "knowledge".

"Rules, where are the rules, why haven't I heard of them?" Sister, is this true?" Shangguan Minghao suddenly understood his sister's expression.

"This one" Although Lin Xin is "well-read and knowledgeable", he is also too young, this rule is just his own speculation, if he really wants to say it, he can't say it, "This is like your mother, when do you see her going back to her former home?"

"Sister, is that so?" Ming Hao stared at Xue Hui's eyes, wanting to get an answer, maybe this was not what he wanted.

"Let's go, they shouldn't be able to wait. Shangguan Xuehui diverted the topic, and then quickly walked forward. After taking two steps, he suddenly said: "Minghao, Lin Xin, you are my younger brother, and you will always be my younger brother." No matter where we go in the future, let's not forget each other, okay?"

"I will. "I will too. The two said firmly

Unlike ordinary people's weddings and funerals, the union of practitioners can be vigorous or obscure. The son of the head of the Spirit Sword Sect married the peerless beauty of the Shangguan family, and the process was even more different from others. The front is full of the southern regions, and the back is quiet. The two came to pick up the relatives, and the three returned to the sect.

Xiao Li and the others, after having a light meal at Shangguan's house, left with Shangguan Xuehui. Riding on a giant flying horse that only cultivators can ride, without a trace of smoke and dust, it envied many ordinary people

The council hall of the Shangguan family is a place where things are discussed publicly. The secret room is a place where several heads of the family discuss, and although for the Shangguan family, the characters have not changed, but the secrecy of the matter is even higher. At least outsiders rarely come here.

"Second brother, I don't know what progress you have made in going to Langyahai this time?" At this time, there were only two brothers in the secret room, Shangguan Lan and Shangguan Zheng, and the elder brother asked.

"Hey, big brother! What kind of place is Langyahai? It is famous for being 'arrogant and unstoppable', I finally found a place, and let it be easy to talk about it, and others were stunned and disagreed. Shangguan Zheng looked bitter and angry in his heart, as if he had been treated with no goodness and reappeared in front of him.

"Did you explain why? Maybe there's something to talk about. Shangguan Lan was puzzled.

"Hmph, it's okay not to say it, but when I say it, I will scold them, saying that those things that don't care about them are all self-inflicted, how ugly and ugly it is. Shangguan Zheng's expression was even more angry, "Big brother, don't mention this matter, let's find a way in the future." I don't believe that a living person can suffocate urine. ”

"Well, since the second brother doesn't want to mention it again, then I won't say much about it. Shangguan Lan knew that his younger brother had been wronged, and a business expert like the second brother used to do things like a fish in water, and he was also a source of dealing with people. I must have felt uncomfortable if I didn't gnaw this hard bone this time, and my proud heart couldn't help but feel a little uneven.

There was silence.

"Big brother, do you have anything to say?" In the past, after the two discussed things, Shangguan Lan would take the initiative to ask the second brother to leave first. It's not the same thing now, there must be something.

"Second brother, do you remember what happened recently?" Shangguan Lan thought to himself that it was not easy to say this directly.

"I don't know what the eldest brother is referring to?" Shangguan Zheng wondered in his heart, when did the eldest brother also learn to sell guanzi!

"Second brother, do you remember the oath you and I made thirty years ago?" When he said this, Shangguan Lan felt a burst of emotion in his heart, and it had been thirty years in a hurry. I don't want myself and my second brother's children to come to this point, hey

"Of course I do. Back then, my eldest brother and I made a vow that we would make my Shangguan family go to the next level through the unremitting efforts of both of us. I also remember the promise I made and worked hard to carry forward the promise I made for my family. Speaking of his oath, thinking of the changes in the Shangguan family in recent years, Shangguan Zheng had a sense of grandeur in his heart. In a trance, I went back to the night I swore an oath to my eldest brother.

Shangguan Lan was infected by this, and his heart was the same as him.

"However," Shangguan Zheng changed his tone and said: "However, Brother Zheng's talent is dull, no matter how hard he cultivates, he has not made much progress in cultivation. "Shangguan Zheng's talent is not very good, and he does not have great strength in cultivation, which is also his regret all along. But he gradually took charge of the family's business, relying on his own hardships and hard work, and the family business was thriving by him.

Shangguan Lan knew about his brother's affairs, and he didn't want what he said just now to cause him pain, and he felt a burst of regret in his heart. Hurriedly said: "Second brother, don't sigh, although you are not the best in cultivation, but you are also a profound cultivation. Besides, in my Shangguan family, if there is no support from my second brother, how can we practice comfortably. Therefore, if you want to talk about the contribution to the clan, the second brother is a great contribution. ”

"Haha, big brother, don't think I'm still worried about this. As the saying goes, the ruler is short, the inch is long, and if I can't do it, it doesn't mean that I can't do things. I've figured it out a long time ago, and it's not going to be as extreme as it used to be. Big brother, don't worry. "Shangguan Zheng has been grinding and rolling over the years, and his heart has become more tenacious.

"So good, so good!" Shangguan Lan didn't dare to say more.

The past is like smoke, but in retrospect, it has to make people sigh, so that both of them are silent for a while.

"Big brother, I don't know what you just said about the latest thing, what is it?" Shangguan Zheng asked.

"Look at me, I've forgotten what I'm doing. Shangguan Lan suddenly came back to his senses: "Second brother, thirty years ago, on the day you and I made a vow to create more glory for my Shangguan family, do you remember what day it was?"

Speaking of this, Shangguan Zheng suddenly woke up: "Are you the rite of passage of Minghao and their coming-of-age this time? Look at my memory, I have been running outside for too long and even forgetting about it." ”
