Chairman Ji Yuan is sitting in front of the hall. Naturally, he is the fastest to serve food. Bowls of steaming dishes are brought out with waves of fragrance by the vigorous chef. When there are hard dishes, Old Man Zhao next to him I will also introduce it to Ji Yuan.
“This is roasted fish…this is rice covered with meat, it’s fragrant…this is mutton bone soup…”
At this table were the groom, his in-laws, and a close relative, but no one had any objections to Ji Yuan being treated as a distinguished guest. They all felt that the newlyweds had acquired the “talent” of a learned man, and would be in good hands in the future. The child has a future.
While Ji Yuan was congratulating and socializing in his sleeves, he also lowered his head and glanced at the chess pieces on his sleeves. As expected, the color of the chess pieces had turned white. With his smile on his face, the wedding banquet made the guests and hosts enjoy themselves even more.
The wine glasses were filled and everyone started eating with their chopsticks.
Wedding banquets in remote villages are naturally not as good at cooking as the chefs in big cities and mansions, but they have a different flavor, especially when they are eaten in a good atmosphere, and because it is the evening of the dog days of summer, everyone is sweating profusely from eating.
The accountant Yuan finally figured out what the wet towels hanging around many people’s necks were for, and people at the tables further away were shirtless.
The groom was toasting at the table, while the bride was waiting alone in the bridal chamber…
After a round of toasts, he went back to the chairman to pay tribute to his parents-in-law and elders. The groom’s face was already red from drinking, and he didn’t forget to come to Ji Yuan’s side to toast.
“Mr. Ji, I am very happy to thank you for writing a wedding couplet today. It is really the best couplet. I will give you a drink and be sure to drink it!”
Seeing that he spoke quite clearly, he must not be completely drunk yet. After the toast, he was about to enter the bridal chamber.
Ji Yuan stood up with a smile and returned the favor with a drink.
“Have a son sooner, have a son sooner!”
After drinking the glass of wine, the bridegroom walked towards the back room with steady steps amidst the commotion. Ji Yuan looked at the groom’s relatively strong body. He should be able to control his wife who is doing farm work as well as the man. .
……
As the sky gradually darkened, the wedding banquet was almost finished.
Although it is the dog days of summer and there is no refrigerator here, you don’t need to worry about the leftovers going rancid. Because the villagers are really fierce, Ji Yuan has never seen any plate with half a liang of food left. All the juice on the table can be poured over the rice.
In addition to helping the kitchen and cleaning up, the neighbors and friends all started to disperse with their faces full of contentment. Ji Yuan followed one of the young men named Zhao Dongliang who came back from picking up wine to stay at his house for the night.
This family was close to the head of the village, and they arranged a side room in a small farmyard for Ji Yuan, with a bed, chairs and bedding.
They were all well-fed and well-fed, but because of the hot weather, most of the villagers had not fallen asleep even though it was already dark. Many of them were cooling off in the ventilated area outside the courtyard, waiting for the heat inside the house to dissipate. You won’t sleep until you go.
Ji Yuan also brought a chair out and sat by the wall of the small courtyard. On the left hand side, he could see a peculiar small house with three small light spots on it.
I didn’t pay attention when I came here, but now it seems that it should be a small temple. Judging from the size, it is estimated to be only half a person tall. It may be the earth temple in the village.
It was indeed a bit hot. Ji Yuan didn’t have a fan, so he grabbed his right sleeve with his right hand and straightened it twice. Zhao Dongliang over there saw Ji Yuan coming out, so he moved a small stool and sat over, and he used the cattail leaf fan diligently to fan him. Jiyuan fan.
“Mr. Ji, what is that on your back? Why don’t you put it inside the house? It’s so hot with the cloth strips on your back!”
Zhao Dongliang was sweating even though he was wearing a sleeveless gown. A gown with wide sleeves like this gentleman’s would make him feel hot. He also had a stick or something tied around him to cover up the prickly heat.
“Oh, this is a sword, I forgot to understand it!”
In fact, it is because the Ivy Sword is unstable and needs to be nourished with spiritual energy at all times, so it is temporarily inconvenient for the Ivy Sword to leave the body during this period.
“Sword!”
Zhao Dongliang’s eyes lit up.
“Does Mr. Ji know martial arts? He can fly over walls and fly over walls. No wonder he dares to walk such a long distance alone!”
“Haha, I guess I know martial arts. I still need some means of self-defense when I go out!”
Zhao Dongliang became even more excited when he heard this.
“Mr. Ji, can you let me take a look at your sword? Last time I went to the county, I saw a flower-decorated long sword in a shop. It was very nice!”
Ji Yuan smiled.
“It’s okay to take a look, but you might be disappointed.”
After saying that, he untied the knot, took off the ivy sword wrapped in cloth, put it on his knees, and removed the green cloth to reveal the blade of the sword.
The Ivy Sword is three feet six inches long and one inch and eight minutes wide. It is a straight line from the tip to the tail. There is no guard at the front of the hilt and no ornaments at the tail. The hilt is wrapped with greenery from beginning to end. The green vines are simple and simple. Of course, the rust stains on the sword are still there.
“Ah…Mr. Ji’s sword is not as good-looking as the ones I saw in the county. It doesn’t even have a scabbard, and it’s all rusted like this…”
Zhao Dongliang was obviously a little disappointed.
“Hahahaha… I told you that you would be disappointed, but it’s still not a good thing to say it. I have nothing to do, and it won’t be very happy!”
Ji Yuan smiled and pointed at the sword, pressing his left hand on the sword to prevent it from ringing.
Zhao Dongliang thought it was because Ji Yuan didn’t like what he just said, so he scratched his head and said, “Mr. Ji, don’t mind, your sword is actually quite nice!”
Ji Yuan smiled and said nothing, looking up at the stars in the sky.
“Mr. Ji, tell me about the things outside, and the martial arts world, isn’t it exciting?”
“Well…maybe, but it may not be as good as this!”
We were chatting about one thing or another. Most of the questions were asked by Zhao Dongliang. Ji Yuan chose to answer. He also talked about the big herring in Chunmu River saving people like a fairy tale, and mentioned the old turtle outside Chunhui Mansion asking for wine. , also mentioned that Laolong Bu Yubao was in good weather, and Zhao Dongliang listened as seriously as a child.
More than half an hour later, most of the villagers enjoying the cool air returned to their houses one after another, carrying chairs and stools. Although Zhao Dongliang still wanted to chat with Ji Yuan, he went to bed considering that he had to do farm work tomorrow. Ji Yuan was the only one left outside the courtyard.
In the Earth Temple a little further away, a burst of smoke appeared, and a stooped old man walked towards this side. He came as close as two feet away and raised his hand towards Ji Yuan.
“It’s rare for an immortal to come here, and Little Earth is here to say hello!”
“Don’t take it seriously, don’t take it seriously! I would also like to thank the people from your hometown for taking me in and asking for a glass of wedding wine.”
Ji Yuan hurriedly stood up and returned the greeting with his hands. He saw that the incense in the earth temple was not strong, and it was regarded as an empty temple that was not even a temple for obscenity. He did not expect that there was a righteous god, but the gods of mountains and rivers were best at hiding themselves, so he didn’t notice it. It’s normal, but this one doesn’t look like actual cultivation but more like a ghost cultivating to become a god.
The old man looked at the ivy sword on Ji Yuan’s knee and looked for Shuyuanwww. zhaoshuyuan． com carefully moved closer to one side.
“I wonder where your fairyland is, sir?”
“There’s no such thing as a fairyland. I’ve been walking around everywhere, but the landlord must be a local, right?”
The old man sat down on the stone mill next to him and nodded in reply.
“Exactly, I was from Zhaojiazhuang when I was alive. I don’t know when it started. It must have been enshrined as land for almost three hundred years. The area under my jurisdiction is near Zhaojiazhuang. If someone in the village passed away, if there was any evil deeds, Those who keep their souls alive will occasionally accompany them to lure them to the underworld.”
Three hundred years? so long!
But it should be due to the restricted jurisdiction. After so many years, although he has become a righteous god, he does not have much incense and magic power.
“I wonder what the purpose of Tu Tu Gong’s appearance is?”
This old land is quite interesting, so I answered directly and calmly.
“People who cultivate immortality are very rare, just come out and have a look!”
Ji Yuan laughed dumbly, it turned out that he had become a peep show.
“That will definitely disappoint the Earth God. I am just a small cultivator, not an immortal as you think.”
“Sir, you are too modest. It’s much better than I thought!”
It was a compliment, but what the Earth God said was considered true. After saying this, he hesitated for a moment and took out a strange piece of yellow paper folded together from his arms.
“I wonder if you, sir, can help me look at the writing on it. There should be some writing on it, but my magic power is weak and I can’t see it!”
It seems that not only is it strange, but there is something going on. Ji Yuan doesn’t refuse, he just gives it a try.
“Okay, let me take a look!”
I took the yellow paper from the Tutu Office and unfolded it. I looked carefully and saw ink stains on it.
“Zhengde Bao Gonglu”
“It’s actually a book made from heaven!”
