Waiting for the wind, waiting for the rain, waiting for your return

After setting off on the second day, Xiao Zhongyuan's spirit has recovered.Liu Qingan prepared a lot of dry rations, but inexplicably picked up some chickens, ducks, geese, and sheep that had been locked up in the yard of the dining room. Somehow, they all died. Could it be that there are monsters or beasts who dare to break into the Xiaoyao Palace?

Jun Fu didn't take it to heart when he heard it, because with Aunt Qi's spiritual strength, even the big monster might not be able to please her.

In Guangyang County, notices offering rewards were posted everywhere. The son of Zhang Xie, the magistrate of Guangyang County, disappeared at the same time as the bride on the day of his wife's marriage. A hundred gold rewards were offered to Loose Cultivator Celestial Masters to capture the evil ghost Wang Xiangsi, so as to reassure the people.

But the people around were just watching and discussing:

"No one has seen this evil shadow for more than a hundred years, how to catch it?"

"That's right, knowing that there are evil spirits, but still organizing a wedding banquet, don't you think your son and daughter-in-law will live long?"

"I heard that some desperate monks pretended to be newcomers and tried it before, but I never saw it coming back."

"Yeah, I heard that this evil spirit existed in the previous dynasty, but I don't know it's been hundreds of years. Alas, it's pitiful."

Jun Fu pushed through the crowd, tore off the announcement, and the crowd looked at him with great admiration: "This little fairy is so courageous." Xiao Zhongyuan stood outside the crowd with his hands down, wearing a bamboo hat, and the white gauze curtain was hanging down, cover his face.

The surrounding yamen servants immediately took the two of them to see the county magistrate happily. The announcement had been posted for three days, and they were read a lot. Ignorant and fearless.

Guangyang County is not big, it belongs to Longxi County and governs more than 13 households.Zhang Xie, the magistrate of the county, has been in office for [-] years.Hearing that there was a fairy tearing up the list, he immediately greeted him in person.There are also bright red silk hangings everywhere in the mansion, and happy characters are pasted up, and it looks like a wedding banquet has just been arranged.

During the conversation, I found out that Guangyang County started from Yanyun Kingdom more than 500 years ago. There is a legend circulating here that there is a ghost king who calls himself "Lovesickness" and hates lovers in the world the most.Therefore, marriageable men and women in more than a dozen counties around Guangyang County have never held a wedding banquet for hundreds of years of marriage.Men and women who have reached the marriageable age are determined by their parents and matchmakers, and the husband's family can only secretly receive them home in a sedan chair.

In the past seven or eight years, Guangyang County has occasionally organized wedding banquets and nothing happened. Everyone has gradually forgotten this legend.It is rare for the son of the county magistrate to marry the young lady of Xie's family, the richest man in Guangyang County, so he took a bit of luck and held a rather lively wedding ceremony three days ago, paying homage to heaven and earth.As a result, the newlyweds disappeared that night, leaving only the ghost king's token of lovesickness, and white plum blossoms emitting a dark fragrance all over the place.The old lady fainted on the spot.

After saying that, Zhang Xie knelt down and knelt on the ground: "I also ask the two immortals to save the children and the couple, I will be very grateful."

Jun Fu helped Zhang Xie up: "Do you know the origin of this evil spirit? Is it a demon or a ghost?"

Zhang Xie wiped his tears with the hem of his clothes, and shook his head: "I don't know. No one has seen it. I only heard that it is a very evil spirit from the past. There have been some monks who pretended to be newcomers and were taken away by this ghost king, but never. People have come back alive."

"In this case, if we want to catch this Lovesickness Ghost King, we can only hold another wedding banquet to lure him out."

"Yes, every time there is a wedding ceremony, this evil spirit will take the newcomer away, and it won't hurt others. If the two immortals are willing to pretend to be a wedding banquet, all the wedding things are ready-made."

Jun Fu leaned over and slightly raised the corner of Xiao Zhongyuan's veil, blinking his eyes: "Since this must be the case, why not make Ah Yuan a bride, okay?"

Xiao Zhongyuan replied with a cold face: "You can't see a man and a woman even if you cover your head, you can also pretend to be a bride."

Jun helped up and said, "But my figure doesn't look like it. If the evil spirit sees it through, wouldn't it be a waste of work?"

If one had to choose one of them to act as the bridegroom officer, Jun Fu would be more suitable. He has sharp brows and is taller and thicker than himself.But seeing the look of anticipation in Jun Fu's eyes, Xiao Zhongyuan couldn't calm down in his heart.

"No way!" No matter how hard Jun Fu tried, Xiao Zhongyuan always uttered these two words.

"Well, how about throwing the dice to decide?"

Zhong Yuan thought about it and thought it was fair, so he agreed.Best of three.

County magistrate Zhang immediately sent someone to come over with a dice cup, and Jun Fu said in a gentlemanly way: "Bet big or small? You decide."

Xiao Zhongyuan glanced at Jun Fu, he saw that County Magistrate Zhang brought this dice cup, Jun Fu must not be able to move much, it doesn't matter whether it is big or small, so he chose the simplest way to play, and said casually: "Big. "

Jun Fu pushed the dice cup in front of Xiao Zhongyuan, hiding the cunning in his eyes: "Okay, Mr. Xiao please first."

Xiao Zhongyuan felt that this thing was purely luck, so he shook it casually a few times, uncovered the dice cup, two fives, already quite a big number.County magistrate Zhang looked at Jun Fu, who was nearly eight feet tall, with sympathy: "I guess this little fairy is wronged to pretend to be a bride. Don't worry, fairy, we will have the clothes made out overnight."

Jun Fu is the devil incarnate, he got tired of these casino tricks when he was 15 years old.There are many entertainments and pastimes in the palace. Usually, the maids and eunuchs like to gamble a few times when they have nothing to do, such as six games, throwing pots, playing chess, archery, chess, grass fighting, cockfighting... all played over and over again, let alone two dice, Even six dice, he can control them as he likes.

Jun Fu bit his lower lip, tried his best to hold back his smile, pretended to be very troubled and serious, shook it left and right, and silently prayed to the sky from time to time, finally waiting until he opened the cup, eleven o'clock.Jun Fu shouted: "Oh, brother Xiao, let me let you go, let me let you go."

Xiao Zhongyuan raised his eyelids, seeing Jun Fu's uncontrollably smug smirk, he was startled to realize that he had been tricked.Before this guy came to Kunlun Ruins, he spent every day in various places where fireworks were pickled among the people, not to mention winning two out of three rounds, even if he gave himself a hundred rounds, he still couldn't win.

County magistrate Zhang exclaimed again: "This little fairy is really lucky, Mr. Xiao lost a little, it's a pity. Shall we continue to compete?"

Xiao Zhongyuan rolled his eyes, and said calmly: "No comparison, everything is arranged by Mr. Zhang, it's all for saving people, everything is kept simple."

County magistrate Zhang said happily: "Thank you two immortals. On behalf of all the people in Guangyang County, I would like to thank the two immortals for their chivalry."

At present, the steward of the mansion took Xiao Zhongyuan to Xie's house, and agreed to come to marry him in the afternoon of the next day.At the same time, wedding invitations were distributed widely and banquets were held. Guangyang County had not held such a grandiose wedding event in the past hundred years.

On the afternoon of the second day, the guard of honor going to greet the relatives set out from the Zhang Mansion with a mighty [-]-odd people. The leader was a gong to clear the way, and sixty rows of deacons carried a wooden platform with all kinds of gifts on it. , dragon and phoenix wedding cakes, jewelry and clothes... as well as hand-held censers, golden lanterns, livestock... all the way to Xie's mansion.

The bridesmaid led the "bride" out, covering her head with a hijab so she couldn't see her face, and she was also dressed in a red wedding dress.Handing the bride's hand to Jun's armrest, he said with a smile: "The newcomer looks like a country, and the young husband is blessed." Many young ladies around also covered their mouths and laughed. After all, the two big men are so serious. Marriage is indeed relatively rare.

There are eight large sedan chairs parked at the door, tied with red silk, richly decorated, embroidered with pictures of a hundred sons and various auspicious patterns.

Jun Fu took the "bridal bride" by the hand to get on the sedan chair, feeling really fresh in his heart, and couldn't help joking: "The lady is about to get on the sedan chair, so don't delay the auspicious time."

Xiao Zhongyuan threw Jun Fu's hand away angrily, lifted the car curtain and sat in without saying a word.Only through the heavy car curtain did he feel a little more at ease.Such absurd thing, he would actually agree to it, and accompany him to mess around.It's just that now, acting has come to this point, riding a tiger is difficult, so I can only bite the bullet and move forward, I only hope that the lovesickness ghost king will show up as soon as possible.

Jun Fu turned over and jumped on the tall horse, and the wedding party set off with drums and gongs again.Xie's mansion is only seven miles away from Zhang's mansion, and the welcoming team has gone for an hour and still hasn't arrived.

Xiao Zhongyuan tore off the red hijab, slightly raised the corner of the car curtain with his fingertips, and saw Jun Fu on the horse, constantly bowing back to the congratulators on both sides of the road, what was agreed to keep everything simple?

Jun Fu was dressed in a well-tailored fiery red auspicious suit and a silver crown on his head.He was born rich and handsome, and grew up in the royal family, showing an innate nobility. When people in this small county have seen such a fairy figure, they all stretch their necks, scrambling to catch a glimpse of it. .Jun Fu also graciously walked around the county a few times, and it was the young man in fresh clothes who was angry with horses, and he saw all the Guangyang flowers in one day.

This guy is really full of bad water, and he is addicted to pretending to be ostentatious.The sedan chair was sprinkled with all kinds of dried fruits, such as red dates and peanuts, which symbolize good luck and many children. : "How many more laps do you have to make? Hurry up and get the hell out of Zhang's house!"

Jun Fu was almost knocked off his horse by a jujube, and Xiao Xianjun, who was as bright as jade, could actually say "roll". You can imagine how dark Xiao Zhongyuan's face was at this time, Jun Fu hurriedly replied: "Isn't it because the ghost king didn't see it? , okay, okay, let’s go back now.” But I almost died of laughter in my heart.

The mighty team returned to Zhang's mansion, stretched out a hand from outside the car curtain, and handed in a white porcelain plate.Xiao Zhongyuan didn't know, so he took it, only heard the shrill voice of the master of ceremonies outside, and remembered: "A newcomer accepts a son, and a precious son is born early."

boring.Xiao Zhongyuan threw the plate away as if he had picked up a hot potato.

The bridesmaid who had been accompanying the sedan chair helped Zhong Yuan get off the sedan chair, stepped over the saddle on the threshold, and heard the master of ceremonies reporting loudly: "The new couple will be safe for the rest of their lives when they step on the saddle."

The maid brought the water basin, and the voice of the master of ceremonies came up again: "I will serve you to wash your hands and welcome the new year."

The next step is to perform the rituals of the same prison, eat millet, and get together... These masters of ceremonies also followed the instructions of the county magistrate to go through the scene of the big wedding again. Xiao Zhongyuan's face was as dark as a marionette After doing all of them, it's not easy to argue with these people who don't know the truth.

Fortunately, there was a red cover throughout the whole process, otherwise he would not be able to guarantee that he would walk away on the spot at some embarrassing link.

Next is worshiping heaven and earth:

A bow - heaven and earth!

Second salute - Gaotang!

Three salutes—husband and wife salute to each other!

The emcee's voice was as loud as a bell, and his breath was so strong, Xiao Zhongyuan felt that it was a pity that this person did not go to practice martial arts.

"Li Cheng, please lift the groom's hijab." Immediately, a maid stepped forward and handed a small and unique gold scale to Jun Fu.

What?Can't!

Xiao Zhongyuan decided to intimidate Junfu: "Do you dare to try..."

Before he could finish his words, Jun Fu caught off guard and lifted the only fig leaf on Xiao Zhongyuan's face—the red hijab that was as gorgeous as the morning glow.

"The one on the left is auspicious and rich, the one on the right is full of happiness, and the one in the middle is full of gold and jade." The emcee's auspicious words were three full beats behind.

I saw Zhong Yuan wearing a slightly feminine red shirt and auspicious clothes, and the sky was covered with clouds, but there was no sense of disobedience.Wearing a high ponytail, wearing a happy crown, and black hair hanging down, it is still a man's attire.He was already fair-skinned, with bright starry eyes, and a gentle and elegant demeanor with light water mist. He was wearing a wedding dress with black patterns and wide sleeves, which made Zhong Yuan more like a banished fairy who had fallen into the mortal world.

All eyes in Xi'an were fixed on Xiao Zhongyuan's face, admiring, fascinated... Those little ladies thought that Jun Fu's handsome appearance was rare in the world, but seeing Xiao Zhongyuan now, they really reproduced Ji Yu's back then grace.No wonder this fairy has always covered his face with white gauze, and he has such a handsome face.

Although he knew that he was good-looking, he had gradually gotten used to the admiring eyes of everyone since he came out of the Sanqing Ruins. It's kind of embarrassing.

Xiao Zhongyuan coughed a few times, concealing the shame in his heart, and said with a cold face: "What else is the process? Hurry up and finish it together."

The master of ceremonies looked away as if waking up from a dream, and signaled the maidservant to bring up the tray, and handed the golden scissors on the tray to Jun Fu: "Untie the hair knots, and tie the hair into a husband and wife. There is no doubt about love."

Jun Fu's eyes faintly had some subtle luster flowing, he untied a red silk rope tied to the side of Zhong Yuan's hair, cut off a strand of each other's hair, tied it together with the red silk rope, and put it in the brocade embroidered with mandarin ducks. In the bag, hand it to Xiao Zhongyuan.

Xiao Zhongyuan recalled that in the mountain temple, Bai Changqing also cut off his and Fan Xingzhi's hair and tied them together, but it's a pity that Yin and Yang are separated, which is embarrassing.My heart froze for a moment, and I reached out and took the kit by accident.

Accompanied by the master of ceremonies' "send into the bridal chamber", the big wedding finally came to an end, and the cabbage that Qin Ge had been thinking about was justified by the "pig".
