Break the line

What a toss-up, you must know that Pope Xungui’s marriage must be to worship the moon god, and the tribute to the moon god varies greatly, but two things are essential, one is flowers, preferably pink double petals, and the other is the incense table placed in the middle In the crystal tank, a lively little red fish circles and swims in the water.

This rule was established as early as the first Taoist Li Taizu, and it is really full of flowers and more than auspicious.

Also staring at Little Red Fish was one of the protagonists on the wedding stage.When Fu Ling untied her bun and combed it into the style of Zhu Hui's crown facing the sky today, Meng Hui finally agreed to look at her, and only snorted coldly: "Close your eyes." Afterwards, he drew a picture on her face Painting, pasting and supplementing, when Li Zui opened his eyes, Li Zui almost flipped the table... In the mirror, it was like a goddamn Zhu Hui. The two were of similar stature, and after changing their clothes, it only seemed that the groom was more respectable.

Outside Alisma suddenly came in hurriedly: "It's broken, hall master."

Several people were laughing and making noise, but when they heard this, they stopped laughing and looked at her together.

"Dao Zi is here!" Alisma frowned tightly, others couldn't see clearly from a distance, so it's fine to mistake Zhu Hui, Dao Zi Bai Zuo is his master, I'm afraid he can tell the truth by just looking at him.

"Chairman! Do you want to..." Fuling held down the sword with one hand.

Meng Huique got up slowly, and approached Li Zui, he could smell the tangerine peel, Cyperus cyperi and Yin Chen in the medicinal pouch she was carrying today.Li Zui tensed his body tightly, not daring to move.

Meng Hui reached out his hand to pluck Li Zui's hair, and picked out a few strands from the neat bun, which seemed a little messy, more like a drunken groom.

Only then did he say: "It's okay."

"No problem?" The three of them stared at each other.

Li Zui is well-behaved: "Sister says it's okay, so it's okay!"

Fu Ling gave her a blank look, and her bones softened before paying her respects, hum!

Daozi Bai Zuo stood at the front of the audience, and a pair of gratifying people in a red wedding dress came forward, bowed deeply, and thanked Master for his kindness.Daozi was always smiling, and at this moment, the wrinkles on his face became even tighter, but when his eyes fell on the rising groom, his eyes lit up!Li Zui tried his best to suppress his beating heart, tried his best to look back calmly and joyfully, as if it should have been like this, but his beating heart could still be seen clearly through three layers of wedding clothes.

A hand was stretched out from the wide sleeve of the toga, and patted the back of her hand. The palm of that hand was warm, with a hint of tide. Look, Sister Cui was not nervous.

Daozi, who was stunned for a moment, returned to normal in an instant, and pointed to the wedding platform with one hand, asking them to continue the moon worship and sacrifice below.

Walking up the wooden steps step by step, a hand suddenly stretched out in front of him. Meng Hui glanced at Li Zui, and put his right hand on it without hesitation. The audience roared with laughter, and the guests teased the newcomer in twos and threes. .Even Principal Peng was curious. It was rumored that the two personal patriarchs were not on good terms. They were married by the Daozi.

The moon is bright tonight, above the culmination of the sky, it has been a long time since I have seen such a bright moon phase, and Li Si still has a hand in divination of auspicious days.

"Worship the Moon God, bestow favor on your beloved!"

"Second worship to the moon god, the descendants will prosper!"

"Worship the Moon God three times, and live in peace and longevity!"

After the three worships, the new couple bowed to each other, but Meng Hui, who was bowing, heard a soft voice, "I hope Cui Menghui will be safe and happy, and live a long life!"

The sound drifted into the wind lightly and dissipated, as if it had never happened before, but it was deep in my heart.

After the banquet is completed, all the guests leave. After the maid sent the couple into the bridal chamber, she stepped back and closed the door gently.

In the room, it was quiet.

Meng Hui lifted his head, reached out to take the wedding wine on the table and poured it for himself: "Tossing for two hours is really tiring."

He suddenly glanced at the empty wine glass in his hand, and widened his eyes: "Li Zui, what kind of wine did you put the medicine in?"

Only then did Li Zui regain his composure, and quickly responded: "Only the poison on my body can be stimulated to be poisonous, and it will be fine for others to drink. Besides, there is no such thing as the new couple's drinking wine, I think you might drink it... ..."

Only then did the two relax, and became much more natural. Eating the food on the table and drinking two glasses of wine, they seemed to have returned to the free and easy days in Danzhou Restaurant.

"Sister Cui," Li Zui called out tentatively.

"Huh?" Meng Hui squinted at her, little thing.

"There are so many people talking, I, can I call you Meng Hui?" After a few glasses of wine, he finally said what he had been pondering for months.

"I am Meng Hui."

"No, you are Cui Menghui, the only daughter of the Cui family in Jiangnan, Cui Menghui, I call you Menghui, and in my heart you are also Cui Menghui." Li Zui stubbornly emphasized the word Cui.

The wine glass in Meng Hui's hand stopped, and her eyes met. For the past eight years, she has kept revenge in her heart. The blood of her father, the screams of her mother, and the hatred always tortured her with words, swords, plots, and even without words. Influential methods kill people, I am no longer Cui Menghui, who is held in the palm of my parents like a bright moon, and even mentioning the word Cui is discrediting, tell myself, I, Menghui, is the Moon Devourer of Xizhou, the Pope’s Hall Master Meng will surely kill his enemies and sink into hell, never to be reborn.

Until the sound of "Cui Menghui" seemed to pull her back to the world, Li Zui and Meng Hui stretched out their hands, as if they wanted to but dared not touch the bright spot, until one hand tightly grasped her hand and held it together. The palm of my hand, I will not let go.

With a bang, the oil lamp suddenly burst into flames, and the two of them hurriedly withdrew their hands as if awakened from a start.In the awkward silence, Meng Hui said, "Do you know that Zi recognized you as Zhu Hui?"

Li Zui hurriedly responded: "Why didn't he react? Isn't Zhu Hui his eldest disciple?"

Meng Hui sneered twice: "It's his incompetent big disciple. Daozi regards us as tools, not as heirs. The main thing is to check and balance. But for some reason, the Lan family, which has been silent for hundreds of years, suddenly promoted Junior Sister Lan as a pro-teacher. And the 800-year-old Pope of the Lan family, even if he is a Taoist, he can't easily fiddle with it. Zhu Hui and I have fought openly and secretly at his knees for many years, just to create a pawn that can check and balance the Lan family. The two of us There can only be one left, but one must be left."

"So, if he recognizes that I'm not Zhu Hui, he assumes that you won?"

Meng Hui nodded.

"But Zhu Hui is dead after all, how can we deal with the aftermath?" Thinking of the unknown tomorrow, Li Zui regretted that he had too little knowledge of the pope's inside information, even Zhu Hui's remaining party members were not clear about it.

Meng Hui patted her on the arm: "Don't worry, the newlyweds have been traveling and practicing for a month, and then they will find an excuse to release the news of his death. One month is enough for me to sort out his influence, after all... our husband and wife One piece. In short, the only Taoist is me, unless..."

"Unless what?" Seeing her hesitation, Li Zui hurriedly asked.

"It's nothing, it's late at night, what's the matter, you've been a groom for half a night, and you still can't bear to take off this wedding dress?" Meng Hui changed his look of teasing, teasing children is also interesting.

Lying on the bed, both of them were awake and knew that the other was awake.

"Li Zui, is the wine garden suffering?"

"Meng Hui, am I really useless? I have been protected by you all the time, day by day, step by step, from the capital to the southwest, and then to the Pope. I am just a useless trouble." Li Zui finally highlighted the depression in his heart. For a long time: "Am I worthy? Are you worthy of everyone's sacrifice?"

There is still a sentence that has not been said, is it worthy of the protection of the people around you?

"Of course you deserve it. Li Zui, you were born noble, and there are a thousand indulgent ways to treat this world that is not good enough for you, but you are not. You are still kind, generous and principled, and benevolent. Protecting your little cousin for many years, giving Yinglan trust, giving shelter to Kan Jian who was hunted down, deep love for Shishu sisters, repaying grudges with kindness and never abandoning the Shi family, obviously you can avoid misfortune in the southeast freely, but you want to disturb Go into Chuijiao Mountain and fight with your life. Li Zui, listen, you have a pure heart, and you are for friends, for the people, and for the world."

"Li Zui, thank you for remembering me for eight years. You are the last ray of light left to me in this world. Live well."

"Ah."

Li Zui was lying sideways, Meng Hui leaned against her from behind, his head lightly resting on her neck, the two of them were speechless, just clinging to each other like this, feeling each other's slight breathing at the same frequency, as if Become a person, breathing together, sharing fate.

In the middle of the night, Meng Hui suddenly felt Li Zui's back twitch slightly, and the bow became even stronger, and the white cloth was faintly sweating.

"The wound hurts?"

After a while, gently "hmm."

One hand gently covered the two depressions in the lower half of the back, but he didn't dare to touch it. Eight-year-old Li Zui, the child raised in the heap of gold and jade, was dug out by his biological father with a knife, She didn't dare to think about it, she just bent down, opened her clothes, put her lips gently close to the wound, blowing on it, it didn't hurt anymore, just like eight years ago when they were in White Oak Mountain, she blowing on the broken wound for her Same knee.

"It hurts every day?"

"Not every day."

"Why don't you tell me?"

"I'm used to it." The calm tone described the severe pain every night for the past eight years. Only she knew every moment from sadness to anger, from fear to despair.

"For eight years, my dreams have been filled with the faces of my parents when they were killed. It is the wailing of Jiangnan's blood flowing into rivers, which supports me to this day." Meng Hui whispered in Li Zui's ear.

Li Zui's hand was on the back of Meng Hui's, his fingers passed through her fingertips, and his fingers interlocked.

"But today, I feel sorry for you. Li Zui, I feel sorry for you."

Tears dripped down on the back of Meng Hui's right hand, burning his heart so badly.

Oh huo
