Outside, the sound of firecrackers could be heard, and everyone was cheering.
Pei Zi Yun listened intently. After some time, he looked at the tablet and said, "There's no one around now. Let me be honest with you. Since ancient times, the Earth Dragon did not have green energy."
This was a Daoist secret record, which was also recorded by the Imperial Court. The so-called hidden dragon veins were golden energy. Green energy was something only people of the Dao Dao could have.
Seeing that the tablet was still vibrating, Pei Zi Yun sighed, "Even when a minister reaches the fourth rank, this is the extent of it."
"Your son has the golden energy, which is both a blessing and a curse. Even if you want to make a comeback, you have to think about whether you can pass it down."
"Yes, your son can marry someone else, and it will not affect his destiny. However, this golden energy is something that only a Duke or Marquis can have. If the Imperial Court checks that he is not a meritorious family, nor is he the son of King Wei, how do you think the Imperial Court will deal with him?"
"With the Du family, her sins will not be too much. Hence, the rest will be reasonable, and the Imperial Court will not pay attention to it. The Fang family will be able to prosper and live peacefully. Furthermore, this place is filled with Dragon Qi, and she can slowly recover. In a hundred years, or even hundreds of years, there might be a chance. Are you still not satisfied?"
"Or do you want to take a gamble and bury your entire family?"
"How long can you last underground?"
"Do you want to prosper, or do you want to prosper? Choose one!"
Hearing this, the Deity Seat instantly quieted down. A gust of wind blew through the ancestral hall, and the two dim candles lit up again, illuminating the ancestral hall.
"It's done!" Pei Zi Yun turned around and left.
Time flew by, and soon it was dusk. The courtyard was filled with music and firecrackers. It was time for the groom to welcome the bride.
Before long, Fang Yong Jie was dressed in wedding attire, with a golden flower in his hair.
The sedan chair entered, and the door was removed. A young girl dressed in makeup led the bride out of the sedan chair. She stepped onto the red carpet, and walked past the brazier before entering the main hall.
Pei Zi Yun stepped out and became the ceremonial official.
Everyone in the village knew of Pei Zi Yun's identity, and thus no one had any objections. A few people from outside the village did not know of Pei Zi Yun. Seeing that the ceremonial officer was so young, they couldn't help but discuss amongst themselves. However, Pei Zi Yun was a Top Scorer, a Sect Leader, and a Dao Master.
"First bow to heaven and earth!"
The two of them bowed to each other. The young lady with the red scarf on her face started sobbing uncontrollably. Although her sobs were soft and muffled by the sounds of the firecrackers outside, Pei Zi Yun could still hear her clearly.
She had discussed marriage three times, but all of them had resulted in her partner's accident. She had long been regarded as a bad husband in the village and had suffered the cold shoulder. Now she had married the person she liked. Naturally, she was crying tears of joy.
"Second bow to your parents!"
The Du Family's father had committed a grave sin, so he refused with the excuse of being bedridden. The Fang Family only had a memorial tablet left, so both families set up empty seats and paid their respects to the sky.
"Three couples, bow to each other."
All of a sudden, a muffled sound of thunder could be heard from outside. Pei Zi Yun was prepared for this. He opened his Yin Master and saw a strange scene.
A mass of golden gas turned into a snake shadow and appeared on the young man's body. Almost at the same time, a mass of greyish black appeared on the bride's body. It looked like a black insect and pounced on the bride like a black poisonous snake.
With a sizzling sound, the sins and blessings continued to fight in the air, canceling each other out.
By the time the two of them stood up, most of the blessings and blessings had dissipated. What was left behind was a white and red aura. The aura of the blessings and blessings spread across the couple's body. Pei Zi Yun frowned.
There were still traces of sins on the bride's body that had not dissipated. However, it was not much, as the blessings and blessings of blessings and blessings had subsided.
"It's done. The sins have been dispelled. However, there are still traces of blessings and blessings. They have to be slowly worn down in the shelter. Once they leave the village, they might face some more trouble, but it won't be too serious. We'll talk about this in the future."
"Besides, this blessings and blessings are considered normal. It won't attract the attention of the Dao Records Department. To put it bluntly, Fang Yongjie can take the High Scholar's Examinations without being noticed."
"The ceremony is complete. Send them to the bridal chamber." Pei Zi Yun waved his hands and sent the bride and groom into the bridal chamber.
The bride was wearing a large red veil and looked extremely shy. The groom was looking at the door nervously. Pei Zi Yun looked at the teenager and nodded his head, indicating for him to go ahead.
The lanterns in the bridal chamber dimmed and a bright light flashed. The teenager felt his body brimming with energy and was overjoyed. He stretched out his hand and pushed the bride down. Their lips touched, and moaned.
Of course, Pei Zi Yun did not want to hear about the bridal chamber. After confirming that everything was going smoothly, he turned around and left. He then instructed Granny Li, "This bridal chamber is not to be changed. When your young master enters, someone must stand guard outside and not disturb him."
Granny Li was a female official of the King of Wei and had seen much of the world. She then bowed, "Don't worry Dao Master. I understand the pros and cons, and will not allow anyone to disturb us."
Lin Shan County, Pier
Xie Cheng Dong spurred his horse forward. Whenever there was a waterway, he would dismount his horse and board a boat. Following the waterway, he reached Lin Shan County. Although he had tried his best, by the time he reached Lin Shan County, it was already afternoon. Xie Cheng Dong could feel the uneasiness in his heart getting stronger and stronger. He took a deep breath and looked around.
He could vaguely see boats docked everywhere. There was an endless stream of people on the shore. Several people walked up to him and shouted, "Young Master."
Xie Cheng Dong leapt off the boat and asked, "How's the situation?"
"Young Master, the matchmaker in Wei Village found out that Elementary Scholar Fang was betrothed a few days ago. Today is the day of the wedding."
"Bastard." Xie Cheng Dong was extremely anxious. He didn't think that he would be late. He suppressed his anger and instructed, "Prepare a horse for me. We're going to Wei Village."
"Yes, Young Master! The wind is blowing, please bring your raincoat. "
Xie Cheng Dong leapt onto one of the horses and wore his raincoat before saying, "One more person, follow me to the Wei family village."
Dusk was approaching, and the sky was getting darker. On both sides of the road, several dragonflies were flying low. An ox-cart was moving at full speed.
Xie Cheng Dong galloped all the way. Halfway through the journey, the wind started to pick up, causing the leaves to sway. "Pa pa pa!" Raindrops started to fall, landing on the raincoat.
Following this, the rain got heavier and heavier. It was a vast expanse of white, causing people to feel pain. Amidst the rain, the horse suddenly slipped and neighed before falling to the ground.
Xie Cheng Dong stepped onto the back of the horse and leaped onto the ground.
"Stop, Young Master!" The person following him hurriedly dismounted.
"Give me the horse." Xie Cheng Dong leapt onto the horse and continued galloping. From afar, he could see Wei Village. The main entrance of Wei Village was decorated with lanterns. There were two lanterns that were fluttering in the wind. There seemed to be someone walking by the door. He was drunk, and was swaying as he sang.
Xie Cheng Dong leapt off the horse. When he saw this, his heart sank. He then spat out a mouthful of blood. A wave of dizziness washed over him, and his head started to hurt.
"Damn it, I'm late!"
This person was holding a jug of wine and a roasted chicken. He stopped singing, "Tonight, Young Master's wedding is a joyous occasion. Come, I've brought you some wine and meat."
The villager who was guarding the place laughed, "I knew you wouldn't forget me."
"It's Young Master's big day, and the entire village is celebrating. How could we forget you? Come, have some wine."
"I have to keep watch, so I can only eat a little." Although this was what the villager said, his hands weren't slow at all. He reached out and tore apart the roasted chicken and started eating.
Xie Cheng Dong clutched at his chest, feeling a sense of suffocation and pain. After some time, he wiped his lips. His entire body became a blur as he transformed into a shadow. He leapt into the air and entered the village.
The entire village was decorated with red 'Happiness' characters. It was a festive occasion. Raindrops fell onto the roofs of the houses, and people could be heard drinking and chatting.
Fang Mansion
Festive couplets were plastered on the walls, and two red lanterns were hung. The word 'Happiness' was plastered on top of them. Although it was raining, the people within the hut were still chattering.
Xie Cheng Dong's shadow flickered as he entered the hut. All of a sudden, he felt an intense pain. If the pain he felt earlier was just a scratch, the pain he felt now was his internal organs being turned upside down. He spat out another mouthful of blood.
"It's too late." Xie Cheng Dong mumbled to himself. Seeing that there was no one in the room, he dashed into it. He focused his attention, and a bright light flashed.
Dark Altar Mountain, Daoist Temple
The innermost room was very dark. There was only a single candle on top of the altar. The candle emitted a faint green glow, and looked extremely eerie. All of a sudden, a bright light flashed. It was a communication talisman. At the same time, the blind Daoist felt a surge of anger in his heart as he spat out a mouthful of blood.
The blind Daoist didn't pick it up immediately. He pinched his fingers together and calculated before wiping his lips. He wasn't angry, but was instead elated. He laughed coldly, "So this day has come for you. You thought you didn't need me anymore, and imprisoned me. Who would've thought you'd have to come and see me obediently."
The blind Daoist laughed coldly before his face turned serious. He took the talisman, and at once, a small room appeared before him. Outside, it was raining heavily.
There was no light, and Xie Cheng Dong's expression couldn't be seen clearly. However, his tone was calm. He spoke simply and asked, "What's going on? Could it be that Pei Zi Yun found out about us? "
The blind Daoist's expression was calm, "Not likely. Although Fang Yong Jie is the leader of the Three Ye's and Two Guo's, his nickname is Ah Guo. His full name isn't Ah Guo. Who would've guessed?"
The entire Daoist Monastery was silent. It was a stark contrast to Xie Cheng Dong's pitter-patter of rain.
The both of them remained silent for some time, knowing that there was a deep grudge between them. After some time, the blind Daoist spoke, "You've taken away his Dao Root and Fate Qi. However, this Dao Root and Fate Qi are actually attached to his life. The moment he dies, you'll be exposed to the Heavenly Will of this world."
"That's why you have to protect him and keep him alive. There was a backlash just now, and I'm sure it was caused by someone else. This is a fatal weakness. Actually, you could've moved him to Dark Altar Sect earlier."
Hearing these words, Xie Cheng Dong's face was filled with anger. He then replied coldly, "I don't have control over Dark Altar Sect, how could I move him to Dark Altar Sect? I thought that the village guards would have my men protecting him from the shadows. Furthermore, he's an Elementary Scholar. Hiding in the village would be the safest place for him. I didn't expect things to turn out this way. "
The blind Daoist pondered for some time before raising his head. Both his eyes were bloodshot and bloodied. He then said, "Don't worry, I don't think he knows anything."
"Oh? What do you mean? "Xie Cheng Dong's body trembled as he asked.
The blind Daoist's tone was filled with sarcasm, "According to your description, regardless of the reason, Fang Yong Jie is married. Pei Zi Yun then activated Fang Yong Jie's life force, allowing him to conceive a child. This way, Fang Yong Jie's lifespan would be reduced to five to seven years. This is extremely disadvantageous to you."
"The moment he activated it, the spell was broken. There's no turning back. You have to attain Dao within five to seven years. If not, once Fang Yong Jie dies, you will have to face the Heavenly Tribulation. You will be struck by the Heavenly Tribulation. The Lightning Lord will kill you. If you don't attain Dao, the only path left for you is death."
"But I said that Pei Zi Yun doesn't know anything. If he knew, he would kill Fang Yong Jie with a single blade. You would have to die immediately. Of course, the same goes for me."
"You shouldn't disturb him now. What kind of person is Pei Zi Yun? The moment you show yourself, he will definitely be suspicious. Unless you have the confidence to kill him in one fell swoop!"
"Don't forget, the Yin Master stage consists of Consolidating Equipment, Connecting Divinity, Night Wandering, Removing Records and Immortality. These are all part of the cultivation of immortality, and will not directly increase one's strength by much."
"The next step is to transform your physical body, and use your powers to interfere with the real world. Only then will there be a qualitative change."
"This kid's sword techniques are extremely profound. Do you have the confidence to kill him now?"
