Xiuxian: Start with the medicine boy

Chapter 1320: The reputation of being a wife killer, returning to one’s roots!
Twelve years later!

This day.

In Qingshan Town, the sound of festive music rang out and spread throughout the town.

Looking in the direction of the crowded crowd, I saw a handsome man riding a tall horse walking towards the end of the street.

Afterwards, a wedding procession followed, playing suona, ban drum, gongs and drums.

See this scene.

The residents of the town congratulated and sent their blessings.

After the wedding procession left, some townspeople began to talk about it.

"More than a decade has passed, and Ping An, that little kid, is now married!"

"Time is not forgiving!"

"is not that right?"

"By the way, do you know which girl Ping An married?"

"I don't know!"

“I guess it’s not from this film.”

"Maybe it's a girl from a family in the county?"

"possible!"

"After all, Mr. Cheng is a very learned man. It's not surprising that those wealthy families would want to marry him!"

"That is!
In recent years, all the high-ranking officials who have left the town have not received guidance from Mr. Cheng!"

"is not that right?"

"Last month, Magistrate Zhang personally visited Mr. Cheng with a generous gift."

"what is this?
You forgot about Mr. Zheng. Now Mr. Zheng is an official in the capital. It is said that he will soon go to Beijing for promotion. But every time Mr. Zheng comes back, he will respectfully greet Mr. Cheng and say hello! "

"With such a formidable network of contacts, even if Mr. Cheng's son is a fool, there will be people rushing to get close to him.

What's more!

Ping An is also handsome and has made a name for himself outside!
What woman wouldn't be horrified by these conditions?"

"So, don't be jealous!"

"I don't know if Ping An's wife is pretty or has a good personality."

“It should be not bad!”

"After all, Mr. Cheng's status is there."

"seeing is believing!"

"Let's go and take a look..."

"go!"

"..."

soon.

A group of townspeople who came to watch the fun followed the crowd and walked towards the end of the street, where the sound of firecrackers came from.

at the same time.

Cheng's Bookstore, which is usually quite quiet, is decorated with lights and looks festive today.

A loud shout rang out in the backyard.

"Worship heaven and earth!"

"Two thanks to the high hall!"

"Couple greetings!"

"It's done!"

····
As the bustle of the day passed, the night became quiet.

Just as the whole family was sleeping soundly, in the early hours of the morning...

A beautiful middle-aged woman appeared in the empty backyard without warning. The high platform and tables that were set up during the day had all been removed.

suddenly.

The night breeze blew.

In the room with the double happiness characters on the window, the tightly closed door suddenly opened.

Looking into the eyes...
A bride in red came out.

Not bad.

This is the new daughter-in-law that the Cheng family married today.

soon.

The bride came to the beautiful woman, bowed respectfully and said:

"Disciple, I pay my respects to Grandmaster Murong!"

Hear the words.

The beautiful middle-aged woman glanced at the daughter-in-law in front of her and said lightly:

"Can you sleep peacefully?"

"Ok!"

The bride nodded nervously.

At the same time, she had many doubts in her mind, but she didn't dare to ask.

After all, Patriarch Murong is the Nascent Soul ancestor in the sect.

Although in name, she is now the daughter-in-law of Patriarch Murong, but it may not be true after all?
It was because she knew that Patriarch Murong’s Taoist partner was Patriarch Cheng of Baiyun Sect.

If she had not seen her father-in-law in broad daylight and found him to be a mortal, she might have really thought that she was the daughter-in-law of Patriarch Murong.

of course.

There are many issues worth considering here?

For example: Why did Patriarch Murong nominally marry his father-in-law?

Although it is very likely not true, the Yuanying Patriarch has too much dignity and pride to be humiliated like this under normal circumstances.

There were too many things that confused her here.

However, she also had a guess that perhaps her husband might have some relationship with the elusive Old Ancestor Cheng?

at this time!

Murong Wanwan had no idea what her new daughter-in-law was thinking.

But when she saw the other person's face was full of nervousness, her tone suddenly became much gentler.

"do not worry!"

"You will be my daughter-in-law in the future!"

"For example, you can call me 'mother' during the day."

Hear the words.

The new daughter-in-law nodded coquettishly and said:

"mother!"

See this scene.

Murong Wanwan nodded and said:
"I know you have many questions, but just keep them in your heart. Don't ask or pry!"

"Don't let Ping An know your identity as a cultivator."

"otherwise!
Don't blame me for questioning you!"

At this moment, a terrifying pressure spread out and then disappeared immediately!
This moment of effort.

It also made the new bride feel as if she was being stared at by a ferocious beast, as if she would be drowned in boundless fear in the next breath.

At the same time, this also made him understand that the nominal "mother-in-law" in front of him was not just talking.

Followed by.

The new bride, who was so frightened that she broke out in a cold sweat and turned pale, quickly responded:

"Disciple knows!"

"I will definitely keep in mind the teachings of my ancestors!"

"That's good to know!" Murong Wanwan nodded calmly.
"By the way, you must treat your father-in-law the same way you treat me in the future. Do not take on the arrogant attitude of a cultivator and offend your father-in-law. Do you understand?"

"Yes, disciple understands!"

Seeing that the rules had been set, Murong Wanwan knew that it was time to give some sweet treats, so she said:

"You are the daughter-in-law I chose from among thousands of female cultivators, so my previous promise is still valid!"

"You are a true spiritual root cultivator. As long as you give birth to a child for Ping An, then you can choose to leave or stay."

"I will never interfere!"

"Similarly, I will also grant you three [Foundation Building Pills] at that time, so that you can continue to pursue the path of immortality."

"If you are lucky, you can return to the Immortal Gate in a year."

"certainly!
If you are willing to stay with Ping An, I will also reward you generously!"

"And if the child you give birth to has spiritual roots, I will also give you additional rewards. The better the spiritual roots, the richer the reward!"

"Again, the choice is yours!"

"..."

The days passed.

In the blink of an eye.

Two years have passed.

On this day, a piece of bad news came.

Cheng Ping'an got married two years ago and encountered a ferocious beast on his way home to visit his family!

And Cheng Ping'an's gentle and virtuous daughter-in-law also died in the mouth of the wild beast.

When Cheng Ping'an learned the news, he was furious and slaughtered all the beasts in those mountains by himself.

Countless ferocious beasts died under Cheng Ping'an's iron fists. He returned to the town with his robe stained with blood.

Drinking and getting drunk all day long!

Seeing this, Mr. Cheng's wife had no choice but to once again take charge of her son's marriage.

half year later···

Another bride married into the town.

And that night, the mother-in-law once again set 'rules' for the new daughter-in-law and gave her a beating.

In the blink of an eye.

Another ten years passed.

On this day, the town was filled with festive music.

However, the residents of the town began to discuss the matter secretly.

“More than a decade has passed!”

"Ping An has married his eighth wife, right?"

"No, eight!"

"It's the ninth one."

"You calculated wrong. I remember it clearly. This should be the tenth one including today's one!"

“Whether it’s the eighth, ninth, or tenth?
That’s too much!”

"The previous daughters-in-law either had an accident when they went home to visit their parents, or died of heavy bleeding. Is Ping An a bad wife?"

"Otherwise, how could he have killed so many wives?"

"maybe!

Fortunately, Mr. Cheng has a wide network of contacts, otherwise it would be difficult for Ping An to marry again."

"is not that right?"

"And if it weren't for Mr. Cheng, it would be difficult to support a group of safe children."

"That's right, little brat, you're going to make me poor. This old saying is not just for show."

"That kid of mine always makes at least a big bowl of rice for one meal.

There is not enough food now!"

"By the way, do you know where Ping An's bride is from?"

"Not sure, probably the same as before, they are all the eldest ladies in the city."

"It seems to be run by Old Lady Cheng."

"Fortunately, Ping An has a mother who cares about him and doesn't care about the Cheng family's reputation. She is determined to find a wife for Ping An.

otherwise.

How can there be so many beautiful young ladies to marry Ping An?"

"That's the wrong thing to say!"

"It's all because of Mr. Cheng. Otherwise, the masters in the city wouldn't send their daughters to Cheng Ping'an as his wife even though they knew he was unlucky."

"..."

In the blink of an eye.

Another two years passed.

This day.

Cheng's Bookstore, in the backyard...
A beautiful woman with a big belly stood respectfully in front of a gray-haired old woman.

"Yuan'er, have you made up your mind?"

The old woman's voice was not loud, but full of majesty.

Not bad.

This old woman who looks to be in her fifties is the incarnation of Murong Wanwan herself.

The appearance that is revealed now is naturally not its original appearance.

Just follow the crowd.

Otherwise, if it still looks the same as it did more than 30 years later, it would surely shock the world.

and so.

Murong Wanwan had no choice but to transform herself into an old woman in the town.

the other side.

Hearing this, the beautiful young woman with a big belly looked at the old woman in front of her nervously.

But soon, a hint of determination appeared in the young woman's beautiful eyes, and she nodded and said:
"I hope the ancestor will forgive me!"

"I really don't want to waste my life."

"If my spiritual roots were weaker, even if I only had four spiritual roots, I would be willing to spend my whole life with my husband in the secular world."

The words fell.

The young woman named "Yuan'er"'s heart suddenly started beating.

after all.

The nominal mother-in-law in front of me is actually an old ancestor of the Nascent Soul stage.

If he wanted to strangle her to death, it would only take a wave of his hand.

therefore.

It took a lot of courage for her to say this.

Of course, she doesn't regret it either.

This was the decision she had made two years ago when she was chosen to marry into the Cheng family.

Although she was reluctant to leave her unborn child, for the sake of her immortal path...

She had no choice but to give up.

the other side.

The old woman who heard this suddenly sighed.

After a sigh...
The old woman seemed to have lost all her strength and said dejectedly:
"That's it!"

"After all, you and Ping An are not from the same world, so I won't make things difficult for you!"

"After you give birth, you will return to the sect!"

"As for the treasure promised to you, my incarnation in the sect will personally deliver it to you."

"Thank you for your help, ancestor!"

The young woman bowed and thanked him.

The old woman just stopped and said, looking disappointed:

"okay!"

"Just rest assured and take care of your baby!"

soon.

The young woman turned and left.

Such a familiar scene...

In the past ten years or so, the old woman has seen a lot.

Without exception.

Not a single nun chose to stay.

of course.

The old woman also knew the reason. It was all because Ping An had no spiritual roots and was a complete mortal.

Unable to practice.

Unable to sense spiritual energy.

Naturally, it is impossible to embark on the path to immortality.

same.

It is impossible for these daughters-in-law to waste their time in the mundane world.

Even if you are given more treasures, it is impossible.

Even if they take elixirs, it takes a lot of time to refine them. How can these female cultivators ignore their cultivation and busy themselves with three meals a day?

of course.

If her husband had not become a mortal, she could also tell Ping An the true identities of his wives, so that they could enter the world of immortal cultivation together.

It's a pity that my husband has returned to the mortal world, and my son can only suffer.

Think of this.

The old woman couldn't help but sigh again.

at this time···
An energetic old man walked in from outside.

The old man looks to be in his sixties or seventies, but he can still eat and move, but people of the same age have been buried in the earth long ago.

Even the younger townspeople were almost all dead.

For example: Ma Jun of the Ma family died three years ago.

Mr. Zheng, a third-rank official, also died a year ago.

And this old man is still alive, which shows how long he can live.

He is also the centenarian in the town.

Not bad.

This is the head of the Cheng family, Cheng Fan.

He heard his wife's sudden sigh and couldn't help but frown subconsciously.

"Ma'am, what's wrong?"

"Did Xiao Er make you angry again?"

Hear the words.

The old woman shook her head, sighed and said:

"Old man, do you know how bad the reputation of 'Ping An' is now?"

"If Yuan'er gets into trouble again this time, I'm afraid Ping'an will be upset. He has been under too much pressure these years."

"How about... after Yuan'er gives birth, we can move back to your hometown!"

This statement came out.

The old man couldn't help but worry. He sighed and said:

"All right!"

"Fallen leaves must eventually return to their roots!"

"After wandering for a lifetime, it's time to go back!"

"And old friends are passing away one after another. It's time to leave this place!"

"..."

A few months later...
As expected, the wife that Cheng Ping'an married two years ago died again from postpartum hemorrhage.

The reputation of Cheng Ping'an as a wife-killer was brought up again after two years.

Three days later at night...
Cheng Fan and his wife decided to leave.

In this regard.

Cheng Ping'an, who looked gloomy, had no objection.

They agreed to take their seven sons and five daughters and leave the town where they had lived for more than 30 years.

Among the twelve children, two pairs were twins.

The eldest son is now just a boy in his early teens.

The youngest daughter was only a few months old.

The next day, early in the morning.

Three carriages stopped in front of the bookstore.

Soon, the whole family got on the carriage and drove out of the town.

Hey!
Da da! !
The horse's hooves are lightly raised!

Soon, the three carriages left the town and disappeared from sight.
