Forced Marriage [Cultivation]

Chapter 143 Invitation from Hades

Outside the gate of Yundingzong, all the elders of Xicheng were waiting.They were originally unwilling to come here to wait, because it would take at least twelve hours to go back and forth to the Fengshen Altar.That is to say, let them stand here for a day and a night, naturally not many people are willing.

But this time it won't work, the elders don't dare to push it any further, they lined up and stood behind one by one.Xu Xu Tianzun stood at the front, and the elders were silent, with serious expressions, as if they were being punished to stand.The key point is that anyone can come whenever they want. Only the elders who are in charge of the 72 palaces are eligible to stand in line for punishment here. Other ordinary elders can only stand and wait in the altar square.Including all the guests.

The first day of August is the hottest time of midsummer.From the scorching sun at noon, to the evening clouds reflecting the clouds, the stars all over the night, and then to the early morning of the next day, when the sun rises.

The elders of the 72nd palace outside Yundingzong's gate are like wooden figures, the old monk is in meditation, expressionless.The people on the altar square are better, they can walk around freely.The guests eat some snacks, drink some tea, and eat fruits. If they are tired, they can go to sleep in the Imperial Palace.

"Wow..." A dog in the guest table raised its neck and opened its mouth and yawned big. Finally, it rested its head on the knee of the owner next to it.

The owner of the dog stretched out his hand and touched the dog's head. He seemed to be infected by the dog. He opened his mouth and yawned lazily, "Are you bored? Wait, it will be about three hours. When he comes down, you will rush Go up and bite him and punish him for making us wait so long."

Then the dog owner handed over a meat bun, but the big dog avoided it in disgust: "Wow."

"Master doesn't eat meat, so don't keep feeding him these things." The maid in red next to him offered a bowl of exquisitely made dairy products. The big dog sniffed it, then turned to hide the dog's head in the dog's owner's stomach.

"Could it be sick?" The dog owner said with some concern.

The three people made the bystanders look sideways. Apart from the too dazzling big dog, the owner of the dog who looked exactly like the little head teacher also made the guests very interested.

But when the second girl of the Chu family called him Mrs. Jiang, everyone knew who it was.

"Grandpa Jiang, let me take a look." A middle-aged woman in a crimson dress came over, followed by a Taoist priest who seemed to be flowing.This is the second girl of the Chu family in Yunzhou and her husband-in-law.

She looked at the big dog and said, "I'm afraid it's heatstroke."

"It's possible, it was running all over the west city yesterday, the sun was so bright." Jiang Taiping frowned, brushed the dog's long hair, and said: "The hair is too long, it would be nice to cut it off. "

The big dog bit his stomach again, Jiang Taiping pushed the dog's head out, "Don't stick it to my stomach, the weather is so hot, I'll get heatstroke in a while. Second girl, can you help the dog, can you help the people? ?”

The middle-aged woman smiled, "Look at what you said, I have traveled all over the years to treat diseases and save lives."

"Then help me quickly. I have been suffering from a stomachache since last night. I just got over it, but this idiot just bit me again, and it hurts even more. Hey, my old body is getting weaker and weaker." It's time to go."

"What are you talking about. Su Xing has just become the head teacher, which can be regarded as an elation to Mrs. Jiang. You must cheer up and live a long life. Let me take a look for you first. Maybe it was because you ate too much yesterday evening. Many cold melons..."

Yuping's seat and Yunzhou's seat are next to each other. On the Yunzhou seat are the head of the Chu family and his wife, and behind him is a monk with a powerful aura.

Mrs. Chu looked at this side, and there seemed to be tears in her eyes.She has been looking over there since yesterday, because although the second girl Chu is surnamed Chu, she has fallen out with the Chu family.She was invited to Xicheng this time, and Jiang Suxing sent him an invitation alone.Besides, she and her husband also sat together with Mrs. Jiang.

At this time, Mrs. Chu was eager to stand up and walk over, but the head of the Chu family next to her said coldly: "What are you doing?"

"...Didn't you hear? The old man is sick, so I'll take care of it anyway. If the old man makes a mistake, you won't be able to explain it to the head teacher for a while." Madam Chu said in a low voice.

Patriarch Chu was silent for a moment without speaking.Mrs. Chu glanced at Lingxiu quietly, Lingxiu nodded to her, and she got up to go.

The seats next to Yunzhou are West Kunlun and Central Plains. Fu Yuanming was sitting with a middle-aged man in a brown gown with an air of aristocrats. Fu Yuanming frowned and said, "Why is this Chu Wan treating his second sister like this?"

It was Li Mingyang, who was now on the throne, who was full of aristocratic air, and his next seat was Prime Minister Gu Wenzong.Li Mingyang snorted coldly, "He is not the same kind of person as us, you pay attention to what he does."

Fu Yuanming glanced at him, "The emperor Hongfu Qitian has a big heart and a boundless heart, why do you always dislike him? Don't you know the relationship between Chu Wan and our little head teacher?"

Li Mingyang said: "Hmph, that's what I hate about him. Su Xing is a good person, how can you mix with him. You should not put the two of them together in the future."

Fu Yuanming said: "Okay, okay, I won't talk about him, I'm asking about the second girl of the Chu family. Your Majesty, you can't get used to this second girl, right? Why don't I ask her what's going on?"

Li Mingyang frowned slightly, "I don't know too well. Aiqing, do you know?"

Gu Wenzong had been sitting there, and immediately turned his head and said: "Back to the emperor, the matter of Miss Chu Er has to start from 30 years ago..."

People were eating and chatting, and it was noon in a blink of an eye.People stood up one after another and rectified their grooming.Because it stands to reason that the head teacher should have come down from the Conferred God Stage at this time, and he will arrive at the altar square later.

However, after waiting for another hour, no disciples came to report.People were a little anxious, after all, it would be uncomfortable for anyone to sit here for a day and a night, especially there were mortals like Gu Wenzong and Boss Zhou who had never had any cultivation foundation.

"Aiqing, you should go back to the Emperor's Palace to rest." Li Mingyang said worriedly.Gu Wenzong is no different than those who have practiced in the early years. He has been sitting here waiting with them since noon yesterday.

Fu Yuanming stood up, "I'll take Prime Minister Gu back."

Gu Wenzong was indeed very tired, but he hurriedly said: "I can't, I can't. How dare the old minister go to rest when the emperor is here. What's more, the head teacher hasn't come out yet, and the venerable is waiting up there."

Li Mingyang said: "You are so old, you can't compare with us. If something bad happens, Su Xing and your second brother must feel bad. Let Fu Yuanming take you back first, eat something, rest for a while, and confer the award later After finishing the disciple briefing, I will pick you up again."

Gu Wenzong hesitated, "This..."

Fu Yuanming helped him to go out, "Let's go."

At this moment, there was a commotion in front of them. People looked up and saw a group of Law Enforcement Palace disciples running towards the Yunding Sect with serious expressions.

"What happened?" Fu Yuanming grabbed a disciple who was running in a hurry and asked.

The disciple trembled and said: "Feng, something happened to Fengshentai! Tianzun, Tianzun is angry!"

"What?" Li Mingyang and Chu Wan not far away immediately stood up, and the Jiang family also looked over.

"Please explain clearly, what happened to the Conferred God Stage? Where is the head teacher?" Fu Yuanming asked urgently.

"I don't know what happened. I only know that the head teacher didn't come out at noon, so Tianzun went in to look for it. After a while, he came out with the head teacher in his arms. The head teacher was out of breath. Tianzun was about to get angry, and the elders knelt down. All over the place, they say that there is a problem with the Conferred God Platform."

"Is there really a problem with the Conferred God Platform?" Li Mingyang said with a cold brow.

That Chu Wan strode over, "Didn't there be a disciple named Zhang Huayong back then who said there was fraud in the Conferred God Stage? It turned out to be true."

Fu Yuanming's face was pale, and his eyes were on fire, "What? Since you all know that there is a problem with the Conferred God Stage, why did you let Jiang Suxing go up?!"

After saying that, he immediately drew his sword and flew out, Yujian went straight to the top of the sect.Seeing this, Chu Wan immediately followed.

Li Mingyang also wanted to go, but Gu Wenzong grabbed him, "Your Majesty, don't go!"

"I have to go and see."

"There are enough people, and the place is so chaotic, what if something happens?"

Li Mingyang thought about it, indeed, with so many people up there, he couldn't help much even if he went there.So I just sat down and waited.

Looking at the Jiang family not far away, Jiang Taiping was fine, clutching his stomach and hugging the dog. The two middle-aged women, Miss Chu and Mrs. Chu, were more frightened than the other. Fainted out, the second girl's face was pale, she pinched Madam Chu and urged her husband.

"What are you doing here?! Let's go and see what's going on!"

"Ma'am, don't worry, there are so many people and I'm one of them, don't worry, isn't there that Tianzun here? He will take care of anything."

He also said that a large area of ​​the Yunding sect has already knelt down. The elders of the 72nd Palace, and all the disciples and participating elders of the Law Enforcing Palace who participated in the investigation of the "Fengshentai Fraud Case" that followed.

Huo Bingqing knelt in the first place, and said: "Your Majesty, calm down, we have already checked the details of all the checkpoints of the Conferred God Stage, and just two days before the head teacher ascended the Conferred God Stage, the old man went up there personally to ensure that There is nothing wrong with it. I really don’t know why the head teacher fell down..."

"You mean, he accidentally slipped and fell?"

Tianzun asked in a deep voice.On the steps behind him, Jiang Suxing lay there quietly, without any breath.

Everyone was trembling. Although Tianzun remained calm, a huge cloud of white smoke had accumulated in the sky above the Yunding Sect.

That is the legendary emptiness of heaven, the chief culprit of the second world annihilation.

"Of course not. Although the head teacher is young, he is still at the Nascent Soul Stage, so he shouldn't be so careless."

Huo Bingqing is worthy of being the Great Elder. Facing the coercion of destroying the world, he can still maintain his composure and analyze the reasons with ease.The others were already sweating coldly from fright, let alone talking to this bald monk like this.

This is Bai Qiong, the Heavenly Executioner of the World, and there is no trace of Gu Baitang, a disciple of the Law Enforcement Palace in the past.

"Then tell me, what is the reason?"

Tianzun had already started to feel a little irritable, he had been waiting here for a day and a night, but there was nothing busy, now the little head teacher fell down and lay there, but his soul did not know where it went.

Tianzun couldn't find the reason, so he could only interrogate these elders.

Huo Bingqing's eyebrows were deep, and he said: "Now that I think about it carefully, there may be only one reason. There may be something on the Conferred God Altar that only works for the head teacher, but not for the old man."

Tianzun frowned, losing patience: "Based on your intuition, tell me where Jiang Suxing's soul is now."

Huo Bingqing also started to break out in a cold sweat, only then did he hear from Tianzun's words that Jiang Suxing's soul had disappeared.If this is the case, then something bad will happen.

"To tell the truth, the old man now suspects that the person who set up this mechanism is Mingzheng from back then. But he died a long time ago by detonating his Nascent Soul, and the old man doesn't know where to find him."

"Mingzheng?" Tianzun frowned.

"It's him. He is Jiang Suxing's master, and he is especially good at "ghost cultivation". If he sets up a trap, I'm afraid I won't be able to find out.It's just that the old man never imagined that he would set up a trap to kill his apprentice.After all, his love for Jiang Suxing doesn't seem fake..."

"I know, you are here to guard Jiang Suxing's physical body, and I will go to Mingzuo Mansion."

After finishing speaking, Tianzun turned into a ball of Qionghua and left.

He also said that Jiang Suxing was on the Conferred God Stage, suddenly saw a dark river, and saw Zhen Zhen rowing a boat, and there was another person standing on the boat.

Although he couldn't see that person's face clearly, Jiang Suxing recognized who this person was by relying on the familiar figure.

"Master! Master!"

He yelled and took a step forward, but he didn't want to but stepped on the air.

It is no exaggeration to say that Jiang Suxing was so frightened that his soul left his body.

But his soul was floating in the air, but he looked down and saw his body lying on the steps in good shape.

Just when he was astonished, he heard a woman shout: "Little head teacher, come up quickly."

Jiang Suxing looked up and saw Zhenzhen rowing a boat on the dark river, but there was no one else on board.

"Zhenzhen?...Where is my master?" Jiang Suxing asked.

"Your Majesty is waiting for you." Zhen Zhen smiled sweetly, "He invited you to have a light meal at his residence, I wonder if the Headmaster will show his face?"

"Oh." Jiang Suxing sighed, "Since that's the case, let's go."

He glanced back at his "corpse" and hesitated.Zhen Zhen smiled and said: "Don't worry, I'll take you back after dinner. It's just that the road to Hades is not easy, and the rules are strict, and no "living people" are allowed to enter.So this is the only way to invite you over.Also please don't be offended. "

Jiang Suxing smiled, "I'm in trouble, please lead the way."

The dark river walked for about a quarter of an hour before entering another world.It was Jiang Suxing's first visit to the underworld, and he was completely shocked.

In his imagination, he always thought that the underworld was pitch black, surrounded by ghosts, and it was extremely spooky.

However, at this time he was standing on the bow of the boat, the water on the river was clear, and there were peach blossoms floating on the water.The green grass on both sides of the strait and the colorful fallen flowers are completely a fairyland.Looking carefully, there are cranes playing by the water, cattle and sheep grazing on the bank, and a few elk walking in the valley in the distance.

"The underworld is like this?" Jiang Suxing couldn't help but exclaim.

"This is your majesty's mansion, not the real underworld." Zhen Zhen said, "Since your majesty came back from the world, you don't like the deep underworld, and you always miss the beauty of the world. The emperor gave him such a place and allowed him Move here."

"So that's how it is." Jiang Suxing nodded, thinking that since Master is still nostalgic for the scenery in this world, his temperament must not have changed, and he is still as gentle and gentle as before.

Seeing that the pier was in front of him and he was about to enter the mansion, Jiang Suxing hurriedly asked: "Zhenzhen, I forgot to ask you, what kind of honor is Master in the underworld? What should I call him later?"

"Your Majesty is the emperor's youngest son, and today happens to be his thousand-year-old birthday. However, there are still a few hours before the dinner in the underworld. You can call him master when you are alone with him later. If you wait until the dinner, when all the emperors are here , I still want to call him Your Majesty."

Jiang Suxing secretly remembered, "Thank you, Zhenzhen."

"You can call me if you need anything, I'll be there anytime."

On the shore, Zhen Zhen led Jiang Suxing to a bend in the road, pointed to a small stream and said: "Your Majesty is waiting for you ahead, you go quickly."

After finishing speaking, Zhen Zhen was about to turn around and leave, Jiang Suxing hurriedly said: "Aren't you going with me? Why should I call you?"

"I'm talking about the dinner party. Now you're going to see your lord. He doesn't like me following."

"If you don't go, is he scary now? Just let me go alone?"

Zhen Zhen laughed out loud, "What am I supposed to be, so you are afraid of him. Don't worry, even though he is a ghost, he is also handsome and handsome. He is still your master. Since I received your invitation , he just wanted to see you. It’s just that the underworld has strict rules, and the emperor never allows the underworld to communicate with people from the cultivation world. So he can only use this method to invite you here. He misses you very much. You are standing here now If you don’t see him, he will be sad if he finds out.”

"I don't think so." Jiang Suxing smiled, being seen through by Zhen Zhen, he blushed a little: "Okay, I'll go see him myself."

After finishing speaking, he wanted to step on the pebbles and cross the stream, but he didn't want to suddenly float up and fly over in the air.Only then did he realize that he was just a wisp of soul now, without substance.

Jiang Suxing made up his mind, drifted across the stream and the woods, made many turns, and just when he thought he was lost and was about to call out to Zhenzhen, he suddenly heard the sound of a zither.

Could it be the master?

Jiang Suxing drifted past along the sound of the flute, he also felt a little hesitant in his heart.But he thought that since he was here now, Master would never harm him.I can only bite the bullet and find out.

As the saying goes, there is no way out of doubts after mountains and rivers, and there is another village with dark willows and flowers.Jiang Suxing made countless detours, and finally followed the stream to a small courtyard.

There are small bridges and flowing water in front of the courtyard, and there are pavilions and pavilions in the courtyard, clusters of manzhusawahua.

Downstairs there is a stone table with a jug of wine and some side dishes.

A man in emerald green long clothes was standing with his back facing away in front of the water tower, with a jade tube on his head, and his long jet black hair laying on the floor. He was playing the flute intently.

The melodious and melodious sound of the flute sounded a bit like a child's anxiety and excitement.

Jiang Suxing remembered this song. In his previous life, when Jiang Suxing was very young, Mingzheng often played it to him.

"Master, this song is really nice, what's its name?"

"It's called "Get Married". If Xiaoxing likes to hear it, Master will teach you, okay?"

"I don't want to learn it. I heard that the little girl Sichun married someone. I'm a man, so I don't want to learn this!"

"Haha, okay, okay, if you don't learn, you don't learn. Then master teach you how to play tricks, okay? This is very powerful."

"What is the ghost card? How powerful is it? Is it stronger than Brother Baitang?"

"Hehe, how can Xiao Baitang compare with this. As long as you know how to use this trick, no matter whether it is a big ghost or a little ghost, thousands of horses and horses, they can be used by you to drive. You see."

"Ah! Ghost! I'm most afraid of ghosts! Brother Baitang, save me! Brother Baitang, save me!"

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, there are no more ghosts, Xiao Xing, be good, don't be afraid."

"Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

"Brother Baitang is only ten years old, how can he protect you? Master can protect you. Be good and don't be afraid. Master will drive away all the ghosts!"

"No, no! Brother Baitang is the most powerful! Master is not! I want to find Brother Baitang, I want to find Brother Baitang! Wuwuwu..."

"How could it be? You see, Master is very powerful. Master can transform flowers. Master will transform you into a flower, okay?"

……

Jiang Suxing couldn't help laughing when he thought of how his master was anxious to coax him when he was scared to cry by his master's ghost in his previous life.

The sound of the flute stopped, and the man turned around with a gentle smile on his handsome face.

"Xiao Xing has finally arrived. As a teacher, I thought you were frightened by ghosts on the way, and I was wondering if I should pick you up."
