Chapter Five Worship
I followed Wang Yi and walked into the palace. I saw gold as the pillars, white jade as the walls, and various gems dotted among them. White mist floated in, and the fragrance filled my chest. Everything I saw and heard was out of this world. People came into the palace.
People went around, the men were handsome and elegant, the women were beautiful and noble, Wang Yi kept introducing me, someone was his son, someone was his granddaughter, someone was his great-great-grandson, in short, they were all members of his family, I don’t know.
how many.
After we sat down in the main hall, the servant brought not tea, but a pot of wine. The wine glass and the wine pot were made of pure gold. Wang Yi invited me to drink, so I took a sip. The taste of this wine was very familiar to me.
It's Erguotou. At first, I had a little uneasiness and doubt in my heart, but now it's slowly gone, because everything I saw and touched was so real, and the wine I drank was so familiar, which proved that I was real.
I met an immortal.
Wang Yi asked enthusiastically: "Your surname is your surname, where is your surname?"
"My surname is Zhang and my name is Xuanming. My ancestral home is Kaifeng, Henan. I now live in a village not far to the north."
"It turns out to be Mr. Zhang. I wonder how much Mr. Zhang is and who else is in his family?"
The old man's words had an archaic meaning, which was not easy to understand, but I still understood the meaning of "Gui Geng" and replied: "I have wasted twenty-one years this year, and I still have a mother at home. My mother and master are in poor health, and I don't know whether Wang
Can the old gentleman give me two elixirs that can cure all diseases and prolong life?"
"This..." Wang Yi frowned slightly and pinched his long beard with his hand, "Master Zhang's filial piety is touching and admirable. However, the mountains and forests have been destroyed and medicinal materials are hard to find. It is not easy to make elixirs now. This elixir cannot be given away easily.
It’s for outsiders. I wonder if Young Master Zhang has a family?”
"not yet."
Wang Yi was overjoyed: "That's very good. I have a great-great-granddaughter, she is twenty-eight years old, and she is married to you. If you are married to me, we will become a family member. It is also appropriate to give an elixir to your mother-in-law."
I was stunned. Wasn't this engagement a bit too sudden? But I vaguely felt that not long ago I was still looking for a wife. Wouldn't it be great to have a great-great-granddaughter of the immortal willing to marry me now?
Wang Yi asked: "Are you worried that my great-great-granddaughter is ugly? It doesn't matter. I'll ask her to come out to meet you. If you don't like her, this marriage will be over."
The old man was so confident that his great-great-granddaughter must be pretty, so I started to get curious. Soon the maid brought out a girl in light yellow palace clothes. From a distance, she looked light in steps, elegant in expression, and graceful in appearance.
My eyes lit up. When I came closer and saluted me, I saw her hair as thick as clouds, her skin as bright as snow, her dark eyebrows lightly swept, her bright eyes looking forward, and she smiled slightly, with two small pear holes appearing on her face. She was really "
You are kind enough to return here and get drunk, there are pear cheeks with slight dimples next to you."
Who could not be tempted by such a beautiful woman? I don’t know why, but I always think about the bright side when I encounter things today, and I don’t think too complicatedly. I just feel that my mother must be very happy to marry such a beautiful daughter-in-law, and so will I.
You no longer have to envy others doing push-ups next door, but you can also get an elixir and a large dowry. This is a great deal!
As soon as I nodded, Wang Yi said: "It's better to choose a day than to hit it. Today is an auspicious day. It's better to get married immediately or send you and your wife home early."
Getting married in such a hurry? There was some resistance in my heart, but soon the resistance was suppressed by the beautiful thoughts, and I actually nodded in agreement.
Wang Yi gave the order, and countless people immediately came in with various things. In just a few minutes, the wedding hall was decorated, with big red characters for "happy" on the wall, lanterns and colorful lights, and red candles hanging high. It was indeed a fairy.
People are very efficient in doing things, and soon the bride was helped out by a group of maids. She was wearing a phoenix crown, a tassel hanging down, and her body was covered with dazzling pearls and gems.
I never thought that I would get married according to ancient etiquette, and marry a descendant of an immortal. Things in this world are so unpredictable! Just when I was filled with emotion, the maids had already brought the bride to me.
It can be seen that her appearance, even more beautiful when dressed up, makes her look lively and fragrant.
Wang Yi was sitting at the altar table in the middle hall. There was a man and a woman sitting on both sides of him. They looked very young. They were probably my father-in-law and mother-in-law, right? There was also a middle-aged emcee standing on each side. The emcee on the left shouted: "Groom
The bride is in her place!”
A maid pushed the bride and I in front of Wang Yi, and the master of ceremonies on the right shouted: "Kneel down and offer incense."
A maid put the lit incense into my hand, but I hesitated. In the past ten years, I have not knelt down except for apprenticeship. This is a very serious and high-standard etiquette, but now I feel a little rash.
Turning around and looking around, I saw the guests sitting there laughing and making noise, their behavior no longer so dignified, they were dancing and dancing happily, more like a group of children playing house.
"Kneel down, kneel down..."
"Goodbye, goodbye..."
The guests shouted, I feel very confused. What I encountered today is weird. I seem to be awake and free, but in fact I am very confused. I have been manipulated like a puppet on strings. Although I have a feeling that something is wrong, I can't help it.
I had the idea of resisting. The bride was still waiting to worship my parents with me, so I knelt down under the push of the maids...
The moment I bent my knees, an inexplicable anger filled my chest. I straightened my body suddenly, involuntarily used the "Dispersion Technique" in "The Seven Techniques of Yin Fu" and roared.
: "All the illusions and obstacles are revealed and broken!"
The splendid palace and the splendid halls suddenly shattered and turned into a dark cave with a fishy smell. In front of him, the fairy-like Wang Yi suddenly became a lot shorter, with a bald head and pointed ears, big protruding eyes, a flat nose and a wide mouth.
A pair of fangs protruded from the lips, and the face was as wrinkled as a Shar-Pei dog. The arms were extremely long, and there were sparse short hairs all over the body. It was extremely ugly. My prospective father-in-law and mother-in-law also turned into similar monsters, but they didn't have as much face.
wrinkles.
I was shocked and turned to look at my "bride". She was about one meter tall, with hands above her knees. She was bloated and slightly hunchbacked. Her chest had obvious female characteristics. She had some red rags randomly wrapped around her body. Where?
Is it Fengguan Xiapei?
All the handsome men and beauties in the hall turned into monsters about one meter tall in an instant. They were not like humans or monkeys. I was shocked, and so were they.
If so many monsters were to attack me, the consequences would be disastrous! With my hands empty, I touched my waist and found the battery of the miner's lamp. I quickly pressed the power switch, and a dazzling beam of light immediately flashed above my head.
The monsters immediately screamed and ran away. I did not hesitate to pounce on "Wang Yi". He was the leader of this group of monsters. To capture the thief, capture the king first. Only by catching it or killing it can the other monsters be frightened. But the old monster
It was also smart, turned around and ran away, moving quickly with its short legs, I actually missed it. I chased for a few steps, flew up and kicked out, hitting its high arched back, and it took advantage of the momentum to jump forward and roll continuously on the ground.
, and then jumped into a small cave on the ground with all hands and feet.
This is a quite large cave, connected to many small caves. When I turned around to catch another monster, all the monsters fled into the small caves. The strong light swinging above my head frightened them.
I didn't know what this monster was capable of, nor what dangers there were in the small cave, so I didn't dare to pursue it rashly. Then I scanned the large cave and found many simple stone tables and benches, with some dishes on the stone tables.
There are aluminum lunch boxes, bottles of liquor, and packaging bags of instant noodles and bread on the ground, but the delicacies that the "immortals" just ate in the bowls were earthworms, toads, maggots and the like.
I suddenly realized that the miners’ food was stolen by these monsters, and the two murders must have been caused by them. Their ability to transform is so strong! Because the things they transform are based on real objects, it is even harder to see through.
, the one glass of wine I drank was the real Erguotou - luckily I didn't eat anything else.
It's not a good place to stay here for a long time. I took another look around and was about to leave. At this time, I found a shiny object on the big stone platform in the middle. After a closer look, I saw that it was a round object with patterns on the edges. The middle part was smooth and reflective.
, looks like an ancient bronze mirror.
Taking a closer look, it turned out to be an ancient realm that was slightly larger than a palm. The outer ring was dark red, like copper, with ancient patterns. In the middle, there was a gray-white jade-like object. Although it was smooth, it was basically invisible to people. Maybe it was just
A decoration. The big stone platform was the altar table in the main hall before. Various offerings and incense candles were made of soil, branches, snakes and insects. It was a mess like children playing house. Only this ancient mirror looked like it. I picked up the ancient mirror.
Unexpectedly, as soon as I took the mirror into my hand, I felt obvious spiritual power fluctuations inside it, and it was surprisingly light, not like it was made of copper and jade of the same volume.
This should be a treasure.
A thought flashed in my mind, but it was not my idea. I was stunned for a moment, and I immediately understood that it was the meaning conveyed to me by the demon fox in my body. Just when I was about to kneel down to worship the monster, the demon fox was very angry and woke me up.
I borrowed its power to break the illusion without thinking... So the demon fox is awake?
Another strange thought flashed through my mind, but it was full of contempt and ridicule. Sure enough, the demon fox was awake and it was laughing at me for worshiping that ugly monster.
While looking for an exit, I tried to communicate with the demon fox, but I couldn't sense its specific existence, nor could I communicate with it directly. I would suddenly have an idea, and then find that this idea was not my original intention, and then
Only then did I realize that this was what it meant to convey to me - simply put, it could only convey information to me through me.
The demon fox was indeed injured by the tree demon last time, but it can also benefit from my practice. The injury has recovered and there are still gains. The reason why I can practice Tai Chi Chaos in one year is not because I am a genius, but because I learned from it.
A lot of ready-made spiritual energy has been absorbed there, otherwise it would have taken at least two or three years to practice it. After this information was conveyed to me, it was silent again.
I'm a little excited. The demon fox can remind me and protect me when I'm in danger, and it can also help me practice Qigong quickly. I'm like two people practicing at the same time!
I found the exit of the cave. It was very small. It was under a huge rock. It was covered with a lot of vines and branches and leaves. It was not easy to find even if you walked by. In fact, it was not bright at all. It was only around two o'clock in the morning.
There is no road, and I don’t know how I got here before.
There is a mountain stream not far below. There are no traces of mining, which proves that I am in the upper reaches of the gold mine. I walked down the stream and saw mining equipment about two kilometers away. The master was messing around in the wooden house area with a miner's lamp.
Hey, he's probably looking for me.
"Master, I'm here!" I turned on the miner's lamp and shook it.
Master immediately looked over to me and said loudly: "Where did you run to and why did you leave without saying a word?"
I ignored Master's complaints and ran over excitedly: "Master, I know where the root of the problem is!"
The master snorted: "I know it too."
