On February 2nd, the dragon raised its head and the spring rain poured down everywhere.
Qingfeng Valley ushered in several sunny days in early spring. The sun swept away the usual snow, and a warm atmosphere suddenly filled the mountains. From this beginning, spring has truly arrived.
The people in the town at the foot of the mountain are busy preparing for the farm work. After all, it is the harvest of the year. If they are not punctual and do not go to school, the children will break peach blossom branches in their hands, laughing and playing through the streets and alleys, going from house to house. Knocking on the walls of each house from house to house.
It is said that on February 2, beating the wall with peach branches can drive out the snakes and insects that spend the winter in the mud cracks, ushering in a good omen for the year. If you meet a kind-hearted person with plenty of money, you might be rewarded with a few pennies to buy candies for them, so the children happily run wildly and scurry around, making them so happy.
There was an atmosphere of joy in the town, and also in the mountains. Today's Qingfeng Valley is unusual. There is a big happy event to be held, so this immortal sect that has been standing for thousands of years is also rarely busy. Everyone laughed in groups and rushed towards the Patriarch Hall.
Before dawn, Chen Qi had already woken up. She lit candles and started dressing up in front of a large bronze mirror at home. At the age of thirteen or fourteen, the girl didn't like anything else, but she was extremely happy to wear beautiful buns of various colors. A big happy event is about to happen today, so the girl got up so early to make her best-looking hair before going out. Looking at herself in the mirror, she felt some inexplicable longing in her heart. Maybe she could become a protagonist in a happy event when she had one day?
Xu Huaigu was the most loyal person, and he had to treat the happy events of his good brothers with caution. So he got up early, put on a new set of clothes, cut his long hair neatly, and dressed up like a jade, the two of them stepped out of the bamboo building and followed the crowd to Qingfeng Valley. Went to the Patriarch Hall. It's a pity that the sword on his waist is gone, and it is empty at this time. Although there were naturally some swords of other magical qualities in the robe, Xu Huaigu felt that he was attending a happy event, and it seemed inappropriate to wear a sword, so he found a jade pendant and tied it around his waist.
Of course Liu Waner is coming too. She also dressed up in the mirror early, opened the makeup box that had not been used for a long time, applied peach blossom powder, applied luodai, touched rouge on her lips, smiled slightly in the mirror, and felt satisfied, then left the house, her waist still Sword.
The crisp calls of birds echoed in the valley, cheerful and lively, as if they were celebrating the two new arrivals.
When everyone arrived at the Patriarch Hall, they saw a large area set up with red ribbons and red cloth in front of the hall, and the monks had already surrounded it. The monks stood chatting in small groups, all with smiles on their faces. This was done with great joy. Many teenage sword cultivators were looking straight at the front of the hall, their eyes full of admiration, joking with each other, and talking about it. Xu Huaigu looked at the people around him, then at the jade pendant around his waist, and smiled.
That night, he and Xie Qingyun had a good discussion and decided to exchange the sword for the treasured land of Wei Caiyi.
For Xie Qingyun, this matter has only advantages and no disadvantages. Of course, there is nothing good about it. Besides, it can save the lives of everyone in Qingfeng Valley. She has long been grateful to Xu Huaigu. As for Liu Waner, although she was a little confused about this matter, she also knew that this sword represented the lives of the whole sect. No matter how much she felt ashamed of Xu Huaigu, it could not be changed by her thoughts, so Liu Waner also Agree.
That night, Xu Huaigu immediately wrote a letter in that wooden building and sent it to Luoyun City in the Middle Earth with a flying sword and a hundred thousand fire.
So they went home and prepared to wait for Wei Caiyi's reply. Unexpectedly, only a day later, a woman arrived at the foot of Qingfeng Valley Mountain in person. She climbed all the way up and was stopped by a disciple who was patrolling the mountain halfway. Although the process was somewhat bumpy, she finally met with Xie Qingyun and others.
The person climbing the mountain is naturally Wei Caiyi. It turned out that she had just returned to Luoyun City not long ago, and she was still thinking that the two sales in East Fuyao Continent had not been completed. It was a pity that she received this letter from Xu Huaigu, and she immediately became energetic. Wei Caiyi had seen that phoenix feather sword with his own eyes. It was the tail bone of the black phoenix, the great demon in the 11th level of the demon clan. It was so strong that it could be regarded as a spiritual treasure. After thinking about it for a while, she was worried that Xu Huaigu would regret it, so she didn't even write a reply. She went directly to Dongfuyao Island and decided to climb a mountain to discuss the matter in person.
Since Wei Caiyi has come in person, there is no room for retreat on this matter. So Xie Qingyun, Xu Huaigu and Wei Caiyi held candlelight talks at night and discussed in detail the promised geomantic land for opening the sect and the relocation of the sect. Everything was written down in black and white on the contract. Several people signed their names, pressed the red seal, and each left a copy, and the contract came into effect.
Wei Caiyi got the Phoenix Feather Sword and was so happy that he even skipped the ferry boat to move the clan to Qingfeng Valley. At that time, Luoyun City would personally send a fairy boat to transport the monks and treasures in Qingfeng Valley. Move to Middle-earth.
With Wei Caiyi's words as a guarantee, Xie Qingyun can certainly rest assured. After all, the words spoken by a great monk in the eleventh realm are more important than a mountain. That is no joke. However, she still had something to do and couldn't leave, so she sent a few capable elders back to China with Wei Caiyi to inspect the place, preparing to move the Patriarch's Hall, disciples' residence, and the Sutra Pavilion. After the indispensable sect's base site is selected first, and then craftsmen are invited to build it first, it will be enough to just move it there when the time comes.
The matter of relocating the sect in Qingfeng Valley was completed secretly. At Xu Huaigu's request, the specific content of the transaction was kept strictly confidential. Except for Xu Huaigu, Xie Qingyun and Liu Waner, no one else in Qingfeng Valley knew about this matter. Even the elders who went to Middle-earth only knew that Wei Caiyi had agreed to this deal. What exactly did Qingfeng Valley give them? They knew nothing about the conditions she offered and the sword Xu Huaigu had.
Seeing today's grand and festive scene, Xu Huaigu became more and more convinced that his choice was right. If Zuo Qiuxun was here, she would make the same choice as herself.
Xu Huaigu looked at the blue sky and was lost in thought. He missed her a little.
The festive suona sound rang in his ears, and Xu Huaigu suddenly came back to his senses and looked towards the center of the place surrounded by red cloth. I saw Li Siqing also imitating the wedding practices in the market, wearing bright red clothes and a big hydrangea tied to his chest. He was led up from the left with a smile on his face. Looking to the right, there is the bride An Xiaoyu, also wearing a red dress and red skirt, with pearls and emeralds and phoenix hairpins, and swaying temples, like a secular person, with a big red hijab covering her face, and she is being helped up to the wedding ceremony. Come.
The two newcomers stood in the center of the field. Xie Qingyun was full of smiles. He walked up to the two of them from the ancestral hall and said with a smile: "Today is a happy event for you two, and it was something I decided to do. Qingfeng Valley It has been many years since there has been a new Taoist couple. I see that you two are happy, so I must make it lively. Although the etiquette is generally based on that of the people at the foot of the mountain, parents do not need to worship. You only need to bow once to the Patriarch Hall and then to the other side."
Er Rutou slowly moved his body and faced the Patriarch Hall. There was an elder with white beard and hair shouting from the side: "Bow down to the Patriarch Hall."
Er Ren bowed his head.
The elder spoke in a long tone and shouted: "Husband and wife bow to each other."
The two of them faced each other and bowed to each other.
Xie Qingyun watched the two of them straighten up, then smiled and said: "That's great, this can be considered as a formal Taoist couple. You must listen carefully to what I say next, and you must keep it in your heart." "
They both nodded.
So Xie Qingyun slowly said: "Monks are like people who eat the wind and drink the dew, and are indifferent to human relationships. Therefore, most of them live alone for the rest of their lives, just to seek the Tao and nothing else. However, the road to immortality is bitter and cold, how many people can achieve the Tao in the end? His life is spent alone, which is not very interesting. Since the two of you are lucky enough to know each other, it is a fate cultivated for thousands of years in previous lives. You need to know that it is hard-won and you must cherish it. Do you understand?"
"Disciple, please obey the orders of the Valley Master."
Xie Qingyun then smiled and said: "I am a swordsman who is outspoken and quick-tongued. I drink heavily when I have wine, and I draw my sword quickly when the road is rough. Once I draw my sword, there is no reason to take it back. If you fall in love with someone in your life, then It's the same way, it doesn't change, it doesn't turn around, it's also a kind of swordsmanship."
She turned her head and winked at the elders in the Patriarch Hall, and immediately an elder came out with an ancient sheathed sword. Xie Qingyun took the ancient sword and said solemnly: "This is the sword that I have kept for generations in Qingfeng Valley. The name of the sword is 'Tongxin'. I give it to you as a gift today. I hope that you two will work hand in hand in this life and never give up."
Seeing this, the two of them rushed to pick it up.
Xie Qingyun handed the sword to the two of them. After the ceremony was completed, he changed his solemn look and smiled at everyone in the field: "Why don't you make trouble with them!"
After listening to this, everyone finally woke up. First they all cheered and applauded, and then they didn't know who was hiding in the crowd and shouted: "Li Siqing, please drink!"
An order was given, followed by countless shouts: "Please drink, please drink!"
Everyone laughed together and clamored for Li Siqing to buy him a drink. Xu Huaigu couldn't help being infected by the festive atmosphere, and he also laughed and shouted in agreement. There were shouts and joy in the valley, and the birds in the mountains were so startled that they all flew away.
Li Siqing smiled and cupped his hands, and replied loudly: "Thanks to all of you for supporting me, all the money spent on the drinks in the restaurant for these three nights will be counted on my head, Li Siqing, so just drink up!"
I don't know who was making a fuss in the crowd: "You bastard, let's see if I don't drink up all your money! How much money can you have!"
Everyone laughed again, and they all gathered around and went straight to the restaurant. Xu Huaigu took a quick look and saw that there were about four hundred people present, and couldn't help but smile maliciously. With so much money for drinking, I guess Li Siqing did get some blood, but it was nothing compared to the sword Xie Qingyun gave them just now.
After seeing a lively scene for only an hour or two, everyone still gradually dispersed. However, the two friends stayed behind and went up to express their blessings one by one. The two of them also stayed at the scene and agreed with smiles one by one.
Xu Huaigu and Liu Waner both stayed at the scene and were in no hurry to step forward. After the people were almost gone, Xu Huaigu walked up to Li Siqing, took out a heavy red envelope from his sleeve, handed it over with a smile and said: "The good money is not used yet, so I will give you an advantage."
Li Siqing smiled and declined: "You and I don't need this thing! Take it and buy a drink yourself!"
Xu Huaigu's expression changed, and he pretended to be serious: "That's not okay, you have to keep it. When the time comes, you can only do more than this, not less, between me and Yu Qin."
After that, they both laughed together. Li Siqing had no choice but to accept it and said with a smile: "Okay, okay! Just a lot, no less!"
Xu Huaigu said with a smile: "I wish you a happy marriage and a happy marriage."
Li Siqing cupped his hands in thanks, An Xiaoyu bowed slightly and also thanked Xu Huaigu, who then nodded and walked away. Liu Wan'er also stepped forward to give her some money and said a few words of congratulations. They both thanked her in the same way. Then she walked to Xu Huaigu and they stood side by side.
There were still many people sending money to express their congratulations. Xu Huaigu estimated that he was still half busy, so he smiled at Liu Wan'er and said, "Thank you, Master Gu. It's true that a good monk can become a Taoist couple in private, but he must learn from secular people. Make a set of them."
Liu Waner also smiled and said: "What about you in the future? Are you ready to do it in private?"
Xu Huaigu said with a smile: "That's not possible, you have to be like them. No, it's more lively than them. You have to light lanterns and candles and hold a big banquet. The more secular the better!"
Liu Waner smiled. She saw a magpie flying over from a tree nearby, holding a grass ring in its mouth, and tilted its head to look at the two people in red clothes in front of the Patriarch Hall.
That's great, but that person is not her.
