"Oh." Cai Zhao's heart did not waver.
Qi Lingbo suppressed his displeasure and continued to smile: "It would be better if Brother Chang Shi recovers from the poison early. If he cannot recover, one year, two years, three years... then Junior Sister Zhaozhao will marry Peiqiong Villa, then Brother Chang Shi But what should I do?”
Hearing this mess, Cai Zhao had long been impatient. Just as he was about to reply, a large, pale and slender hand pressed his shoulder, and Chang Ning stepped forward.
"When the time comes, Junior Sister Zhaozhao will naturally take me to Peiqiong Villa." He smiled.
Qi Lingbo said because he heard wrongly: "What did you say!"
Dai Fengchi & Fan Xingjia:? ? ? ?
Cai Zhao: "..." Why don't I know this myself?
"The late Sect Master Yin once said that it is our duty to protect the weak and to protect the weak, so how can there be a time limit of one year, two years and three years? If my life is miserable and I am still unable to recover, Junior Sister Zhaozhao Are you going to ignore me? No, this is absolutely impossible!"
Chang Ning's voice was pure and sincere, and it sounded better than what she sang on the stage. What Qi Lingbo said to his brother and sister just now was enough to disgust Bai Lianhua, but he didn't expect Chang Ning to be even better.
The others were confused, Cai Zhao was expressionless.
"After Junior Sister Zhaozhao goes to Peiqiong Villa, I will help her entertain the guests after her wedding ceremony. When she enters the bridal chamber, I will help pour the wine. From then on, I will eat at the same table with Junior Sister Zhaozhao and her husband and practice martial arts together. . I have always heard that Mr. Zhou is kind-hearted and kind-hearted, and I think he will not dislike me. Senior Sister Qi, are you right?"
"This, this is not good, maybe Master Zhou will mind..." Qi Lingbo faltered.
"Absolutely not." Chang Ning said with determination, "Senior Sister Qi also said just now that Junior Sister Zhaozhao and I hit it off right away. In my heart, I treat her like her own sister. In her mind, I am no different from my brother, so others will misunderstand me. That’s all, we ourselves must not make random suspicions. In short, we are clean and honest with my Junior Sister Zhaozhao. Master Zhou has a gentleman’s heart, so how can he care!”
Qi Lingbo & Dai Fengchi:...
Cai Zhao was furious: ╰_ ╯My old mother Diului!
Fan Xingjia began to wipe his sweat.
Chang Ning's eyes were pure: "Senior Sister Qi, if it were you, you wouldn't stop interacting with Senior Brother Dai after you get married!"
Qi Lingbo smiled awkwardly.
Chang Ning became more sincere: "And Senior Brother Dai, you have a deep friendship with Senior Sister Qi. In the future, you can be like me - eating at the same table with Senior Sister Qi and practicing martial arts with Senior Brother Song. Senior Brother Song is so open-minded, I don't think he will either. I don’t mind!”
Dai Fengchi lost his mind.
He had known since he was a child that Qi Lingbo and Song Yuzhi were engaged. Although it was painful to think about it, he always felt that it happened a long, long time ago, so far away that he didn't even have to think about it. Unexpectedly, after being described vividly by Chang Ning, he realized that he might not be as good as Chang Ning in the future, and now he began to worry about gains and losses.
Fan Xing's family stared blankly at the sky - thinking of the arrogant and self-sufficient Song Yuzhi watching his wife chatting and laughing with his childhood sweetheart while they were eating, he suddenly felt dizzy.
Cai Zhao tugged on Chang Ning's sleeve and lowered his voice to threaten: "You're almost done. Just keep performing and pass."
Chang Ning pulled back his sleeves forcefully: "Where is this going?"
Fu raised his voice again and began to talk nonsense with gentleness and enthusiasm, "Senior Sister Qi and Senior Brother Dai, you still have a long time to live in the future, but you should think about where to live in the future. It must be close, not far away..."
In fact, Dai and Qi also know what Chang Ning said is ridiculous, but one of them has been used to being a subordinate for many years and has never considered their own future, and the other has been used to being licked and praised for many years, but they can't let go of being handsome and arrogant. A fiancé with extraordinary cultivation. Everyone has their own concerns, so no one can speak to refute Chang Ning.
Cai Zhao listened to Chang Ning's words becoming more and more disgraceful. He was about to pull this disaster away when he suddenly heard a cold and arrogant voice that penetrated his ears - "What are you doing here!!"
Everyone turned to look and saw Song Yuzhi staring at them with a solemn expression and frowning.
"Third Senior Brother, you are finally here!" The Fan Xing family was so moved that their eyes turned red when they saw the Infinite Heavenly Lord descending to earth to save the world.
Dai Qi and Dai Qi had different expressions and remained silent.
Cai Zhao thought to himself, if you don't come to Chang Ning, your fiancee and senior brother will be sent to the end of the world.
Chang Ning is not too big to cause trouble: "Oh, Senior Brother Song is here, we are talking about the future..."
"We were just chatting, we didn't say anything!" Cai Zhao grabbed Chang Ning and pushed him behind him, giving him a stern look to stop him from talking nonsense.
Song Yuzhi stared at her for a while, then looked at Fan Xing's house and reproached: "The senior brother was too busy to take care of him, so he asked the sixth junior brother to go find Junior Sister Cai and Junior Brother Chang. Why did the sixth junior brother start chatting along instead? The time for the sacrifice ceremony is almost here. .”
Fan Xingjia did not dare to refute, so he could only admit his mistake in a low voice.
"Okay, let's get in line quickly." Song Yuzhi gave the final order.
Everyone responded, even Chang Ning was pushed by Cai Zhao and nodded.
For today’s ceremony, the disciples of each sect are all wearing the sect’s regulations. The Qingque sect is wearing robes with a white background and a silver border and a cyan belt. The Guangtian sect is wearing a brocade robe with vermilion embroidery and a golden rising sun. The clothes of the children of Peiqiong Villa are The long-sleeved toga with light blue patterns and silver embroidery on the landscape, and the Siqi Gate, which has a yellow background with four black horses embroidered on it. Only Luoying Valley is different. Since the ancestors said to let nature take its course, everyone just likes to wear it. Just wear whatever you want.
Fortunately, there are the fewest children in Luoying Valley, so they are not an eyesore.
Arriving at Qingque Sect, Cai Zhao met his fourth senior brother Ding Zhuo for the first time.
This man is about 17 or 18 years old. His skin is a light honey color, which is the result of practicing martial arts under the sun for many years. He has handsome features and a strong temperament, and his whole person is like an unsheathed sword. The cold light is overwhelming. Cai Zhao saluted and said hello to him, and Ding Zhuo silently cupped his hands in return, then turned his head and stood up, no longer paying attention to the others.
Because there was a troublemaker like Chang Ning around him who could get sick at any time, Cai Zhao did not dare to line up too close to the disciples of various factions, so he grabbed Chang Ning's sleeve and stood at the back of the side hall. At this moment, she finally understood the Fan Xing family's efforts to always separate the two from others, and couldn't help complaining to Chang Ning: "You are so good at acting, why don't you go on the stage?"
Chang Ning raised his eyebrows: "Are you in such a hurry that you are afraid that I will really follow you to Peiqiong Villa?"
Cai Zhao rolled his eyes: "Follow, you must go to Peiqiong Villa with me! Then I will choose a strong-backed and strong-willed girl in the village to be your wife, so that no one will protect you, okay?!"
Chang Ning said with a straight face: "Wait until you get married before you show off your prestige as the young owner and wife of the village. You make it sound as if the marriage is a sure thing!"
"Both my mother and Uncle Zhou agreed, so why aren't we sure of it?" Cai Zhao thought for a while, "It was the same at the beginning. There were many objections to the marriage between my aunt and Uncle Zhou, but as long as Mr. Zhou insisted, no one would say anything. ”
Hearing this, Chang Ning smiled strangely: "Don't be too happy too early, maybe the person named Zhou is not a good person."
"Nonsense!" Cai Zhao was angry, "You are criticizing my elders again, and you forgot the three chapters of the agreement so quickly!"
"Look." Chang Ning pointed to the front of the left side hall. Cai Zhao held back his words and looked along.
I saw Ning Xiaofeng smiling, and I don't know what she just said. Yin Sulian's face turned red with anger and she couldn't stand upright. The young and enchanting Mrs. Sha from the Si Qi sect was supporting her. After being angry with Yin Sulian, Ning Xiaofeng turned her head, but she was very kind and cheerful to the Zhou family's female family members and children, and she made many witty remarks, making everyone laugh.
Cai Zhao looked at the female family member carefully: "That's Aunt Zhixian of the Zhou family, uncle Zhou's cousin, who is an expert with a pair of swords. Her fiancée died at the hands of a traitor from the Demon Cult many years ago, and she decided not to marry. Brother Yuqian and Brother Yukun's parents died young, and it was Aunt Zhixian who raised them." She turned her head and asked, "What's going on?"
Chang Ning put one hand behind his back and said leisurely: "I was chatting with your mother this morning and found that she is quite dissatisfied with the Master Qi, but she is very close and respectful to the Master Zhou."
Cai Zhao was puzzled: "Is there anything wrong with this? Uncle Zhou is a very nice person."
Chang Ning: "Is Master Qi bad? Your Majesty has always blamed Master Qi for not living and dying with Cai Nvxia back then, and for marrying Mrs. Su Lian, who had a rift with Cai Nvxia. But if you think about it carefully, Master Zhou Why not? He is also the fiancé of Cai Nuxia - he has never lived or died with her, and he also married a daughter of the Min family who had an affair with Cai Nuxia."
Cai Zhao's mind was a little confused: "Uncle Zhou was involved in other things at that time, and my aunt deliberately hid it from him... After all, you are still criticizing my elder!"
Chang Ning smiled coldly: "I'm doing it for your own good. If you don't want to hear it, I won't say anything. Even if you read a thousand play excerpts and read ten thousand story books in Luoying Town, you can't compare to the world outside!"
"No matter how many things in the world outside are like you, you are a jackal, a tiger, a leopard!" Cai Zhao was angry, "I have only known you for two days, and already in my heart I want to beat you three times and tear you to pieces four times!"
Upon hearing this, Chang Ning leaned over and mocked: "Then hit, hit, hit, don't hold back!"
Cai Zhao was so angry that he almost reached out his hand, but held back: "Your face is so rotten, I'm afraid it will dirty my hands!"
The two parted on bad terms for the Nth time, but neither of them dared to stay away from each other, so they had no choice but to stand with their backs facing each other. Fortunately, the corner where they stood was so lonely that no one noticed them.
At this time, a rumbling cannon sound suddenly came from outside the hall, which was as shocking as the collapse of rocks. Everyone in the hall was shocked.
In an instant, Cai Zhao had no time to think, and instinctively pulled Chang Ning behind him to protect him. Unexpectedly, he heard Zeng Dalou in the main hall singing loudly: "Master Fa Kong of Changchun Temple has arrived!"
A kind old monk with a long snow-white beard stood at the door of the hall, followed by six strong-looking monks with bright eyes.
"The Master has finally arrived. Our sect is shining brightly, and is shining brightly." With Qi Yunke's heroic laughter, the five Beichen sects all stood up to greet them. Among the guests present, only Master Jingyuan of Xuankong Temple could sit quietly. original place.
Song Shijun laughed loudly: "Brother Yang just now said that the Master will be late in time. I said absolutely no. Master said it like a mountain. If you say you will arrive, you will definitely arrive in time! Brother Yang, you think what I said is right, right? , hahahahaha..."
Yang Heying echoed repeatedly.
Master Fakong smiled and said: "I can't miss the two hundredth anniversary of my ancestor's death no matter what. I haven't seen you for many years, but you still have the same style. I'm very happy to congratulate you."
After everyone exchanged greetings, they walked into the hall together. Master Fa Kong first made peace with Master Jingyuan. After some negotiation, Master Fa Kong, who was ten years older, took the seat on the right side of the hall.
Seeing this, Cai Zhaocai let go of his guard, and when he turned his head, he saw Chang Ning's long, beautiful and bright eyes looking at him quietly. She said in surprise: "It turns out that it was a salute to welcome distinguished guests. I was shocked because I didn't know...what are you looking at!"
"Just now I spoke arrogantly again, so I'm sorry for Sister Zhaozhao." He put away his surly and sharp tone just now and apologized seriously. Frankly speaking, as long as Chang Ning doesn't mean to offend others, he can reveal an elegant and leisurely beauty. At this moment, his voice is particularly gentle and pleasant, "I have a bad temper. If I make you angry next time, you will scold me severely." That’s it.”
Cai Zhao, who is open-minded by nature, smiled and glared at him: "Is there a next time? If you talk nonsense like this, I won't scold you, I'll just beat you up!"
Chang Ning smiled brightly: "That's okay."
Chapter 18
After everyone sat down, Song Shijun said: "It's almost time and Taichu Temple has not been seen yet. What does Sect Master Qi say?"
Qi Yunke was in a very difficult situation, but fortunately Master Fa Kong came out to rescue him: "When I passed Fengyunding just now, I saw Master Qiu and his entourage who were able to go up the mountain. Because Taichu Guan had so many people coming this time, I thought I would be delayed for a while."
Song Shijun groaned: "If you don't delay it until the last minute, he will never arrive."
Yang Heying was even more angry than he had been cuckolded: "Come to the ancestor ceremony, why are you bringing so many people? You don't even care about the time to put on a show!" In fact, he also wanted to bring many disciples and grandsons to show off, okay?
Qi Yunke pretended to look away. After getting married and succeeding as the sect leader, he discovered that deafness is the best skill in the world.
At this time, Zeng Dalou came to report: "Master, the time has come to beat the gong for sacrifice."
Qi Yunke glanced at the empty seat of the Taichu Guan Sect Master again and said, "We can't delay the time of ringing the sacrificial gong. Let's finish it first and we'll make up for it when Brother Qiu comes."
Song Shijun immediately became as happy as a 200-pound child and praised Qi Yunke for his decisiveness.
Zeng Dalou ordered his disciples to open the sixteen doors of the main hall. On the wide stone flat outside, there was a vermilion gong stand about twenty feet high, with a half-foot-thick black gong hanging on it with extremely thick iron chains. Iron giant gong.
The strong wind on the top of the mountain was extremely violent, and the gong stand was extremely high. The flag on the side, which was only five or six feet high, was almost torn apart by the blow. However, the black iron giant gong was almost motionless when torn by the strong wind, which shows its heavy weight.
Led by Beichen's fifth sect leader, everyone stood on the vast stone terrace outside the hall, holding their breath and concentrating.
Cai Zhaoqi asked: "What is this going to do?"
Fan Xing's family slipped over again unknowingly: "This gong was left by our ancestors. It is said to be cast from the dark iron on the seabed thousands of miles away. It must be sounded every time there is a major ceremony or the birthday of the three pure gods." To inform the gods in all directions.”
"Only Qingque Sect has this." Cai Zhao thought that Luoying Valley probably didn't have anything like this.
"That's natural." Fan Xingjia said, "Fortunately we didn't go to Guangtianmen to hold a ceremony, otherwise we would have had to move this big gong there."
"And after we move there, Guangtianmen will definitely not want to return it." Chang Ning said coolly, seeing Cai Zhao's glance, he quickly added, "Sect Master Song seems to have a close relationship with Luoyinggu." This means that Song Shijun is not your elder. Bar.
Cai Zhao:-_-
Fan Xingjia couldn't help laughing - he knew it would be more fun to stay with these two guys.
Qi Yunke took a step forward, but he didn't see how he started. He just took a deep breath and waved a palm towards the giant gong in the distance. In an instant, a very low and powerful sound was heard above everyone's heads, and the black iron giant gong seemed to be blown away. The invisible mallet struck hard, buzzing continuously with astonishing power, and the dust accumulated on it for many years rustled down.
Everyone cheered in unison and praised Qi Yunke for his profound skills. Yin Sulian's face glowed with joy.
The second one was supposed to be Song Shijun's turn, but Song Shijun suddenly became humble and insisted on letting Zhou Zhizhen play the gong. Zhou Zhizhen didn't want to argue. After smiling, he waved his palm to the giant gong in the same way, and then a second wave sounded in the square. The gong sounds. The sound was equally astonishing, but the cheers given to him were slightly softer, and Zhou Zhizhen didn't care.
When Cai Zhao saw it, he couldn't help but said: "Every time there is a festival, this giant gong must be sounded. What if I don't have enough skill to sound it?"
Chang Ning lowered his voice: "You are stupid. Do you really think that beating this gong is used to inform the gods? It is used to intimidate fellow martial artists. If you don't have this skill, don't be jealous of the status of the Six Beichen Sects."
Fan Xingjia nodded repeatedly after hearing this.
